It was Tang Chao and Mutel who led the army to occupy the "Zishi Village", and the two ordered people to return to their camp to report to Qian Yuanshan, and on the other hand, they commanded their soldiers to clean up the battlefield and maintain order in the cottage. As for the twenty or thirty minions who escaped, they couldn't make any waves, and they didn't bother to answer, and left them to fend for themselves.

Although the remaining minions opened the storehouse and looted before fleeing, in their haste, they were able to take only a very small part of the total. Therefore, the amount of money, gold, silver, and jewelry counted by the logistics team that arrived later was quite huge, so much so that Qian Yuanshan and Zeng Zhilin, who had received their inventory report, suspected that Li Fu had misremembered the number. This is because, according to Li Fu's report, more than 50,000 pieces of gold, silver, and copper coins were counted from the "Zishi Village" alone -- this is nearly twice the amount obtained from the last time the "Baihua Village" was wiped out. If we count all kinds of jewelry, treasures, food, utensils and other things, it is estimated that the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" can earn him at least 80,000 or 90,000 yuan in this operation -- this also verifies the rumors on the green forest road from the side, and the "Purple Stone Village" is the most solid place among the mountains and villages in the entire Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.

Faced with so much money and piles of grain and utensils, Li Fu, who was in charge of the inventory, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and didn't know how to transport so much property back to Xiayunling -- after all, the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" was out to fight, and there was not enough transportation to pull these windfall gains except for some vehicles transporting military supplies.

Li Fu, who had no idea for a while, had to hand over this problem to Qian Yuanshan. In this regard, Qian Yuanshan has nothing to do. However, for the traverser, the way of working is still very good at "brainstorming" and "giving full play to the liliang of the masses". Qian Yuanshan summoned his squad leaders and officers at all levels and above to the Chinese military tent, and asked everyone to come up with ideas and ways to solve this problem.

After some discussion, the experienced Chang Shengjun finally proposed an effective solution. He suggested that you could first send people to change into the clothes of ordinary people and go to the county seat of Yixian County below the mountain to buy some means of transportation such as flat shoulders and baskets. Then the 70 or 80 captured "Zishi Village" minions, as well as the stronger ones among the families of the minions who did not run away, were used as porters, and they carried the spoils back to Xiayunling, so as to solve the problem of their own limited transportation capacity.

Chang Shengjun's suggestion was supported by the majority of the forward command, and Tang Chao also proposed on the basis of his suggestion that before letting these prisoners and their families be porters, he should explain to them the prisoner policy of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" in this combat operation. Tell them that as long as they are not the worst of sin, they will not have to worry about their lives. As long as they work steadily for the "Wyvern Pioneer Battalion", after a period of hard labor, they will have a chance to regain their freedom - as for which people are the most heinous, it is up to the team to return to Xiayunling and interrogate all the captives before deciding. However, before the formal interrogation, the "Wyvern Pioneer Battalion" encouraged the captives to actively report and expose them.

Tang Chao's supplementary suggestions were more complete than Chang Shengjun's, and it was easier to calm the emotions of the captives - what the captives were most worried about now was that they would be handed over by the people of the "Flying Dragon Village" to a village with deep grievances against them, just like those colleagues in the "Baihua Village", and in the end they would either lose their heads or be bullied by the villagers, and the end would be miserable.

Of course, while the captives were being advertised to their captive policy, there would still be a deterrent - the phrase "Whoever tries to escape shall be killed" will also be announced to them.

Qian Yuanshan combined the suggestions of the two and reported them to the committee, which approved them. As a result, in the following days, all the captives and their families, except for the Shi family father and son, behaved very positively after being informed of the prisoner policy against them. Under the command of Li Fu and the logistics team led by him, all kinds of trophies were sorted and packed, and then the people left the "Zishi Village" that had already ignited a raging fire with the army of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" on their shoulders, and returned to Xiayunling along the mountain road.

Due to the presence of a team of captive porters, and the fact that the Youzhou area began to enter the heaviest period of the year, the mountain roads were extremely slippery and difficult to walk, so the return journey of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Camp" took nearly twice as long as before. The team set off from the morning of June 21 and did not arrive at the "Flying Dragon Village" until the afternoon of June 27. ,

As when the "Baihua Village" was extinguished last time, this time Wang Kunjun and other committee members still led all the soldiers who stayed behind in the "Feilong Village" to greet Qian Yuanshan and others in front of the gate of the village. Although there was no arrangement for an enlarged meeting of the committee this time, except for a few members of the committee, the other travelers did not come to the "Flying Dragon Village". However, the presence of several committee members still made Qian Yuanshan and others feel very face-saving.

After greeting each other, the brothers walked into the "Gathering Hall" together. After everyone took their seats, Qian Yuanshan, on behalf of the forward command, first reported to the committee the general course of the operation, as well as the results obtained and his own losses -- although these contents had been reported to the committee by radio before, it was still necessary to carry out the procedure of reporting in person.

After listening to Qian Yuanshan's report, Wang Kunjun, on behalf of the committee, congratulated Qian Yuanshan and others on their complete victory, and said that the committee was very satisfied with the results of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" in this operation. At the same time, he also asked the forward command to report the meritorious personnel so that the committee could reward them after the conclusion of Operation Temper No. 1.

Regarding Qian Yuanshan's question about the handling of the prisoners of the "Zishi Village" minions, Wang Kunjun said that because this matter involves many departments, Liang Ziyue, the person in charge of the Internal Affairs Section of the Ministry of Intelligence, who plays a key role, has not yet returned from Kaifeng. Therefore, for the time being, these prisoners can only be temporarily imprisoned in the "Feilong Village", and after Liang Ziyue returns, they will be jointly handled by the Internal Affairs Section of the Ministry of Intelligence, the Military Department, the Ministry of Security, and even the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, which are responsible for the mining affairs of various mines and salt works.

Now that the committee has made a decision, Qian Yuanshan and the others no longer pay attention to the matter of the handling of prisoners. While thanking the committee for its congratulations, they also pledged to report to the committee as soon as possible a detailed summary report of the combat operation and the list of meritorious personnel.

After talking about the battle, Wang Kunjun gave Qian Yuanshan and others a general introduction to the various important affairs of the team during this time. In addition to the mass production of "Five-Five" rifles and bullets, the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" will soon be able to realize the refitting of all personnel, and other matters related to the production of weapons and other equipment, what can attract the attention of Qian Yuanshan and others the most is the news about the suspected traverser Xin Feiyu.

Wang Kunjun said: "Just yesterday, Lao Twenty-eight, who had been waiting in Kaifeng for several days, finally met the suspected traverser Xin Feiyu, and conducted the necessary review and testing on him. As a result, this Xin Feiyu was successfully approved and became a new member of our team.

As for the question of whether to stay in Kaifeng or return to Liangxiang, the Feiyu brothers decided to return to Liangxiang with the twenty-eighth after careful consideration, and after soliciting the opinions of the eighth and eighteenth sisters who had returned to Kaifeng with Chai Rong. And what kind of position should Feiyu brothers give him after joining the team has become a question that the committee needs to consider and decide immediately. Since the Feiyu brothers were military personnel before the crossing, the committee would like to hear the opinion of your military department. ”

Hearing that Xu Shaoan and Lin Xiaoyu had returned to Kaifeng City, Qian Yuanshan and the others felt very strange. Because before they set out to extinguish the "Zishi Village", the news from Xu Shaoan was that Chai Rong wanted to occupy the entire Huainan and drive the Southern Tang Shili across the Yangtze River. How can it be that such a big change has taken place in only half a month.

Regarding the questions of Qian Yuanshan and others, Zhang Weixin on the side replied: "As the so-called 'Jihua can't catch up with the changes', just two days after Lao Ba sent someone to Kaifeng to send a secret letter, the situation in Huainan changed. Although Chai Rong's ambition to conquer Huainan and Jiangbei rose again after conquering Shouzhou City, no matter how ambitious and ambitious his heart was, he would also be deflated in front of God. The Huainan area has not been sunny for a long time. The rainy weather that lasted for nearly half a month extinguished Chai Rong's ambition little by little.

The difficulty in transporting military supplies, the increasing number of sick soldiers in the army due to unadaptability to the water, soil and climate, the repeated exhortations of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and most importantly, the use of black powder due to the humid weather was greatly affected, so that Chai Rong, who was extremely angry, had to bow his head in front of God, put aside his ambition for the time being, and ordered the class to return to the court on the fifth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar.

The arrival of the imperial court in Kaifeng was on the 25th day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, and the eighth took the Feiyu brothers back to his mansion in the city that night. After resting in the mansion for one night, the two left Kaifeng City together the next day, came to our secret stronghold near Chenqiaoyi, "Hidden Garden", and met with Lao Twenty-eight, who had been waiting there for a few days. The next thing, as the fifth brother just said, this Xin Feiyu successfully passed the audit and test of the old twenty-eight and became the forty-first member of our crossing team. ”,

Speaking of this, Zhang Weixin paused slightly, and said with some interest: "Speaking of which, although this Feiyu brother has been in contact with the team late, because Jia Run'an Jia brother will not officially join the team until the expiration of the contract with Boss Cui, the time for him to join the team will be in front of Brother Jia." ”

Everyone present felt that Zhang Weixin's situation of coming later but first was very interesting, and they all followed suit. Subsequently, Qian Yuanshan asked again: "For this new Feiyu brother, I don't know what the brothers and brothers of the committee plan?" ”

Wang Kunjun said: "On the question of how to arrange the work of the Feiyu brothers, the committee is more inclined to let them join the military department. On the one hand, the Feiyu brothers were soldiers before the crossing, and their majors are relatively relevant. On the other hand, he himself expressed this willingness to the eighth and twenty-eighth. ”

In this regard, Qian Yuanshan and others have no objection. At present, the expansion of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" is imminent, and in the face of more and more complicated affairs, the military department is eager to have one more helper, especially a helper who has served in the army. Qian Yuanshan even hoped that Xin Feiyu could rush back to Liangxiang before the next stage of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" to suppress the "Feiyun Village" operation began, so that he could take this new brother to go out with him, and he could take this opportunity to test the other party's ability.

Seeing that Qian Yuanshan and other brothers from the Military Department had agreed to accept Xin Feiyu as their new members, Wang Kunjun and other committee members were naturally very happy. As for the arrangements for Xin Feiyu's specific duties, the committee accepted the Military Department's suggestion and waited until the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" completed the expansion of the army. Prior to that, he was allowed to participate in the work of the Military Department as a staff officer.
