Xicheng District, in a courtyard on Suzaku Street.

It was originally the property of Berumman, the finance commissioner of Long Son Province, and because of the exquisite construction, it was quite the same as Wang Huifang's appetite. After the Good Friends Association took Xicheng, it quickly became a place for Wang Huifang to cool off and work.

“…… President Wang, the above is the expansion plan of the Taiping Volunteer Army this time. ”

Sitting under the grapevines in the garden of the annex, Tan Yi'an enjoyed the finger massage of the maid beside him, and casually said the expansion plan that was only preliminarily completed yesterday.

Opposite him, Xu Maodian, Xiang Hua and Wang Huifang looked at each other and nodded secretly.

Although the information collected from other sources is only a few words, it should be able to confirm that it is correct by verifying what this person said. The Taiping Rebels have indeed only expanded so much this time.

"Thank you Brother Tan for informing me, these are our thank you gifts, please accept Brother Tan with a smile."

Xu Maodian smiled kindly, stretched out his hand and handed over a stack of golden tickets, the denomination was a thousand gold. Tan Yi'an stretched out his hand and touched the thickness, feeling the unique flexible material of the golden ticket, he couldn't help but show a satisfied smile, and said with a mouth full of wine: "They are all believers of Maitreya Buddha, their own family, easy to talk!" ”

Seeing Tan Yi'an's unbearable expression, a trace of disdain flashed in Xu Maodian's eyes, but the smile on his face became stronger, and he said: "It's not early, if Brother Tan is satisfied with the beauty, why don't you go to rest early?" ”

"It's time?"

was mentioned by Xu Maodian, Tan Yi'an looked at the sky and woke up a lot. Thinking about the detailed regulations after the expansion of the rebel army, as well as the punishment for the generals who did not return at night, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. Reluctantly touched the woman next to me. Then push her away. sighed and said: "The recent military regulations of the righteous army are getting stricter and stricter, there is no way, Tan can only enjoy it next time, thank you for your kindness." ”

With that, he rearranged his half-open placket, and drunkenly got up to take his leave.

"Brother Tan, go slowly!"

Xu Maodian and Wang Huifang personally sent him out of the door, and only when they saw Tan Yi'an's figure disappear into the darkness did the two return to the garden. Discuss the information obtained from Tan Yi'an.

Obviously, the rebel army wanted to follow the elite line of the regular army, and did not mean to blindly expand the army.

Although Xiang Hua also agreed with this plan, Wang Huifang and Xu Maodian disagreed. Of course, the two of them also know the benefits of elite soldiers, but the investment required to train elite soldiers is too great, and the empire may not give them so much time. What they mean is that while maintaining a certain number of elite troops, the number of ordinary troops should also be raised, and the more the better.

The simplest sentence, there is a lot of strength in numbers!

This view of the Lord. Xiang Hua had reservations, but he couldn't say anything wrong for a while. The Taiping Rebels only expanded by 3,000 men. also made him vaguely see the hope of overpowering the other party. After some discussion, Wang Huifang made a very targeted decision: the Dharma Protector Buddha soldiers of the Good Friends Association were also expanded to 3,000 people.

The rest of the believers were unified into the Fuhu Camp.

The name comes from the Tiger Arhat, meaning that even if the enemy is as fierce as a tiger, it can be subdued.

As for the number of people in the Fuhu Battalion, just like Chen Wu's previous recruit battalion, there is no upper limit!

Wang Huifang's idea is very simple, you have the Taiping Camp and the Volunteer Battalion, and I also have the Dharma Protector Buddha soldiers. The same three thousand people, no one is afraid of anyone. After the two forces contain each other in this way, the numerical advantage of the Fuhu battalion can determine the victory.

His decision made the Friends of Good Friends swell up like a balloon.

………

Walking out of the courtyard on Vermilion Bird Street, Tan Yi'an hummed a little song, and began to rush to the camp of the righteous army.

Prior to this time, he had already made several intelligence deals with the Good Friends. Although I have also gained a lot of benefits, because I don't have any really valuable information, I have not gained as much as this time because of the information I got a few times. Touching the stack of golden tickets in his arms again, Tan Yi'an's mood improved.

With this money, even if the rebels fail, they can fly away and become a rich man incognito.

As for Maitreya Buddha?

Whoever loves to believe, who believes!

Tan Yi'an was just shouting, but he didn't really believe this thing. In these days, only the gold coins of Huang Chengcheng are the real Buddha.

However, as it came out for a long time, it was blown by the cool night breeze, and the little alcohol that was left completely subsided. The initial joy was gradually suppressed by fear and weakness. The Taiping Volunteers' vigilance against the Good Friends Association is well known, and the specially promulgated military regulations are the best illustration of this. In the past few days of the joint administration of Longshan, more than a dozen religious soldiers have been expelled from the rebel army. But he is the captain, this kind of thing, he shouldn't be able to find out, right?

Thinking about the military regulations, Tan Yi'an felt a chill behind him, and subconsciously secretly accelerated his pace.

If you do this kind of thing in the future, you should be more careful.

Just as he was thinking this, a group of people suddenly circled around the bend in front of him. Two of them were carrying wind lamps in their hands, and the light shone on his face, making Tan Yi'an subconsciously close his eyes.

"Is it the captain of the First Wing and the Seventh Brigade of the Volunteer Battalion, Tan Yi'an?"

The voice of the speaker was a little cold, but it sounded faintly familiar.

Tan Yi'an couldn't remember where he had heard it for a while, although he instinctively felt uneasy, he nodded and said, "It's me, you are ......"

Before he finished his words, he heard the person on the other side shouting: "Confirm that it is the right master, take it!" ”

The next moment, Tan Yi'an was grabbed by the arms of the two big men, cut it backwards and pressed it to the ground. Although Tan Yi'an wanted to struggle, he drank some wine, and secondly, he was suddenly attacked, and he had lost the first hand, and he was suddenly unable to resist. However, the panic in his heart still made him writhe his body and shout: "I am the captain of the Taiping Righteous Army, who are you?" How dare you attack the rebels? ”

"You still know that you are a member of the Taiping Righteous Army!"

The man who spoke first snorted coldly and kicked him hard. When Tan Yi'an gasped in pain, the man leaned down and groped in his arms for a moment, pulled out the stack of golden tickets, looked at it in the light of the wind lamp, and couldn't help but sneer again: "It's all a thousand votes, Wang Huifang's old boy is really willing." ”

mentioned Wang Huifang, Tan Yi'an's heart was fiercely cold.

With the help of the light of the wind lamp, he tried his best to look up, and finally saw the appearance of the man whose body was half hidden in the darkness.

Ganxing!

Since it was established outside Linxian County, he has been a very low-key director of the intelligence department!

The moment he recognized him, Tan Yi'an immediately realized that he was less lucky this time. Feeling the undisguised killing intent on the other party's body, Tan Yi'an couldn't help but shout while desperately fighting against the two big men who were holding him: "I want to see General Tiangong!" I have done a good job for the rebels, and you can't do this to me...... Whining! ”

Before he could finish his words, he was covered by a square scarf.

"Take it back and interrogate it severely!"

………

Although Gan Xing had never done intelligence work before, and he had not been involved in torture, Tan Yi'an was not an unyielding warrior.

The baton was beaten, and several basins of salt water were splashed, and the goods immediately confessed.

The specific confession was presented to Chen Wu's case early the next morning.

"Tan Yi'an, male, from Huaizhuang, joined the rebel army before the Taiping army attacked Yicheng. Because of his outstanding performance, he was personally rewarded by the general and given a set of armor. After two expansions, he was appointed as the captain of the 7th Brigade of the 1st Wing of the Volunteer Battalion......"

The Taiping Rebels have not been established for a long time, so this resume is also very simple.

The reason why he stared at him so smoothly was because as early as when Chen Wu announced his cooperation with the Good Friends Association, this guy's expression was a little abnormal. After the establishment of the intelligence department, Gan Xing has always sent people to investigate, and finally locked him up.

"The evidence is unmistakable, and the golden ticket for bribes from the Good Friends has been confiscated into the treasury of the Righteous Army. Excuse me, general, how to deal with it? ”

After all, it was a captain, and Gan Xing didn't dare to deal with it rashly.

"Do it according to military regulations!"

Chen Wu ticked a box below to indicate that he had read it.

As for the military regulations, there are two things that apply to Tan Yi'an, one is the most basic three-cut order, which has also been retained after the refinement of the military regulations; The other is the regulations promulgated by Chen Wu specifically for the Good Friends Association. No matter which one it is, Tan Yi'an's fate is the same - capital crime!

Immediately behead the public, and hang the head outside the camp gate to warn the army!

After affirming Gan Xing's recent cousin and signaling that he could step down, Chen Wu was not affected in the slightest and continued to deal with today's affairs. At this time, Shi Xianqian walked in and handed over a report. The above is the current financial statistics of the rebels, as well as the sum of the property obtained after copying so many large landlords from Longshan Mansion.

Due to the large number and the fact that the value of many things needs to be judged by professionals, many things Shi Xianqian can only record with vague words such as "six pairs of porcelain vases from the official kiln of Jinglan Town, suspected to be the size of the former dynasty", "a box of pearls the size of a thumb".

After a cursory glance, Chen Wu frowned and thought for a moment, and ordered the guards to call Mo Guohao.

When he received the news, Mo Guohao was training the soldiers of the Volunteer Battalion of the Second Wing on the school grounds. Knowing that Chen Wu had summoned him, Mo Guohao didn't even have time to take off his armor, turned over and rushed over. However, Mo Guohao was a little confused about what Chen Wu suddenly saw him do.

Could it be that this is the eastward march of troops?

The expansion of the army has just been completed, and the food can still be supported for the time being, so it shouldn't be so urgent, right?

With a little apprehension, Mo Guohao entered Chen Wu's study.

Because he would have to meet with the craftsmen of the Craftsman Bureau and instruct them to transform the trebuchet of the empire, Chen Wu didn't talk much nonsense and put forward his request straight to the point.

"Do you want me to help contact the heads of the Longhe Chamber of Commerce, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, and the Hongning Gang?"

Chen Wu's instructions made Mo Guohao a little more confused. The first two chambers of commerce are not large in Longshan Mansion, and their reputation is not the best, and the Hongning Gang in the back is even more of an underworld/Taoist force similar to the Good Friends Association.

What did General Tiangong want to do when he suddenly wanted to see them? (To be continued......)
