In the evening, after the little eagle returned from the sea, Qi Ke tied a small bag to it and sent it to deliver a letter.

Bai Qing stared at the county for a whole day and saw that there was no movement, and he knew that his letter was written in vain, and the county didn't pay attention to it at all, and he thought that he was making a big fuss about rumors, and at this moment, the small eagle fell from the sky and landed on the courtyard wall.

Yu brought two letters, and the other envelope said Ding Lin personally opened it, and the soldiers helped him and found someone to send the letters.

Qi Ke's letter has a lot of content, in addition to wanting to obtain permission to use gunpowder, he also told him about the suspected tuberculosis patient, Bai Qing's eyes were fixed on Jia Ji on the new wharf built forty miles away from the city gate, and the village chief Jia presided over the construction there, everyone is an old acquaintance, everything has to be discussed.

Bai Qing wrote back and allowed Qi Ke to use gunpowder when necessary, he thought that with the distance between the two places, if Qi could use gunpowder, Qianhu would definitely be able to hear it, and it would be the quickest alarm.

Yu came back with a letter, and the three lines of defense set up by Qi Ke in the mountains could be regarded as having passed the clear road.

When the city gate was opened in the early morning of the next day, the first convoy of military supplies sent by thousands of households passed through the city, and the people of the county saw that they were becoming more and more nervous and uneasy, and they rushed to the grain and oil stores to buy food.

After the yamen received the news, the county honor's face was dark, and he hesitated in his heart, thinking that something was really wrong, so he wanted to send the yamen to take a look, but his subordinates and the officials were all locals, and no one wanted to go on this business trip, so they were busy hoarding supplies for their families, and they couldn't even call the classics, which made the county zun so angry that his head hurt.

Bai Qing sent Qin General to set off with the convoy, and saw the mark of the official demarcation mark less than forty miles away from the city, and the land circled out indicated that there was a landlord, and with a hand raised, he said goodbye to the convoy, and took the accompanying team into the field, and after passing a stockyard where materials were stacked, he met with Jia Ji's people and met the village chief of Jia.

The interview went well, and the Bai family army successfully borrowed the land on the side of the official road to build a second line of defense to protect the county town behind them from the impact of the tide of displaced people.

Qin drove the general back to the Thousand Households, and in the afternoon of the same day, he sent a second group of troops to build a second line of defense, and set up the barricades and camps first.

The two suspected tuberculosis patients caught by the village chief Jia here were also not taken away, and no one wanted to touch them, and they were afraid that they would also be infected from a distance, which was more terrible than the diarrhea patients on Qi Ke's side, and finally stayed here, and the village chief Jia drew an idle corner and circled a fence with wood, built a small shack inside, set up a tent and built two bonfires, and gave some firewood and water every few days, so that the two people could finish the last journey of their lives by themselves.

On the third day, at noon, several troop carriers with the flag of the Bai family army came from the direction of Dong'an Province, and General Bai Da took the deputy generals, staff generals, guerrillas, garrisons and other subordinate generals and soldiers and some supplies to reinforce Donglin County.

The big boat stopped in the waters of the north wharf of the city for a long time, all the civilian boats pulled aside to give way to the waterway, and the people in the county finally confirmed that this was really an accident, in contrast, the yamen was silent, only Bai Jiajun was actively responding for a few days, and suddenly the streets and alleys were scolded by men, women and children, and the simple feelings of the people were greatly inclined to Bai Jiajun.

The magistrates are all outsiders appointed by the imperial court, and they just want to leave if they have nothing to do, and a few people will take the people in the place where they work as their own family members with real feelings.
