Chapter 1090: Conflict of Interest
The reason why Pu Xueguang was so concerned about the appearance of the Haihan people was not that he had heard of the name of Haihan before, but because of his sensitivity to the current situation, he could perceive that the threat brought by this group of people was by no means unusual.
First of all, this group of people appeared in the form of a horse team, and they could pull out hundreds of good horses and a large number of skilled riders at a time. There are also some horses in the Wanjia army, but almost all of them are pack horses used by the people for work, and the real military horses are pitiful.
Secondly, this group of people claimed to be from the south, but there were many men with Shandong accents, and their true origins were very suspicious. Pu Xueguang didn't think that there would really be good people from the south who would travel thousands of miles to Shandong to help the refugees, and in this regard, he agreed with Zhang Pucheng, Han Qin and others in Fushan County, and felt that the identity and purpose of this group of people were very problematic.
Last but not least, this group of uninvited guests actually wanted to instigate the people in Fushan County to leave here and follow their arrangements to move south to other places, which was to move the jobs of the Wanjia army. If the population of this area is lost, then the income of the Wanjia Army will also be indirectly damaged, and in the long run, it will even affect its survival state.
Pu Xueguang, as the military advisor of the Wanjia Army, naturally cannot turn a blind eye to such an obvious threat, and the top priority is to find out the origin and purpose of this group of people, and then consider how to respond. Pu Xueguang hurried all the way, and finally arrived outside Fushan County before dawn, and the subordinates who were in charge of receiving him here led him directly to the camp that Haihan had set up by the Jiahe River. Wang Jinmin and others found that two horsemen were monitoring their camp from a distance at dawn, but what they saw was Pu Xueguang and his men.
Pu Xueguang had done things for the rebels in Dengzhou, and he knew a lot about things in the army, and from a distance, he knew that this group of people was by no means an ordinary horse gang, because the civilian horse gang would not make the camp so regular when camping in the wild, and the size and orientation of the tents were all the same, let alone deliberately set up roadblocks and guard posts on the periphery.
Pu Xueguang had seen the cavalry under Kong Youde camped in the field before, but it was seven or eight points similar to the camp of the Haihan horse team, which was probably not a coincidence, he thought that if this group of people were not from the army, at least they had received relevant military training. He also tried to copy the training of the Ming cavalry in the Wanjia Army, but the qualifications of Wanmeng's subordinates were too poor, and Pu Xueguang himself was also a half-ass, and he couldn't understand the essence of the regular army after teaching many times, so he had no choice but to give up. And this group of Haihan people is obviously better than the Wan Jiajun in this regard, at least this camp can't find anything wrong with him in his opinion.
"The origin of these people is not simple, and they are definitely not some errand runners!" After leaving the periphery of the Haihan camp, Pu Xueguang said his opinion to his subordinates with a gloomy face: "They want to instigate the people to leave this place, and their motives must be impure...... You keep an eye on them here, and report back immediately if there is any abnormality!"
Pu Xueguang did not leave the county seat of Fushan, but took advantage of the early morning, when the vigilance of all parties was at its lowest, to sneak into the slums outside the county. Although most of the people living outside the city are refugees who have lost their homes and live in shacks that leak wind and rain, this is not necessarily the case, and the stronghold of the Wan Jiajun outside Fushan County is a good blue brick courtyard.
"Yesterday, who else heard the Haihan Horse Team preach, they came to me one by one. After Pu Xueguang sat down, he immediately began to investigate the propaganda content of the Haihan Horse Team in Fushan County. Although he had already seen the propaganda notices and leaflets printed by the Haihan people last night, the content written on them was very limited, and naturally it was not as detailed as the Haihan people's oral preaching.
There were as many as six or seven members of the Wanjia Army who listened to Haihan's preaching among the people yesterday, and they immediately told Pu Xueguang what they had heard. In fact, Haihan's immigration policy is very simple: as long as you are healthy and willing to follow the arrangements for immigrants to go to the south, you can obtain basic living conditions and a stable living environment.
Many of these preachers had fled to serve as errands under the Haihan during the Denglai Rebellion, and now that they have returned to their homeland, they will naturally use their personal experiences as propaganda materials, and the areas under the rule of the Haihan will be depicted as peaceful and prosperous. Even when Pu Xueguang heard the relay of his subordinates, he felt that it was very inflammatory, and the people who lost their homes in the war wanted nothing more than a stable living environment, and the conditions given by Haihan were precisely for such needs, and it is no wonder that after yesterday's preaching, some people had already left their shacks outside Fushan County and followed the Haihan Horse Gang.
"How many people have left the county now?" Pu Xueguang felt the need to assess the direct impact of the Haihan Horse Gang after listening to the accounts of his subordinates, and immediately asked the leader of the Wanjia Army stationed in Fushan County.
The subordinate replied: "Yesterday only two or three hundred people went to the river with the horse gang, but early this morning, several hundred people left one after another. If this continues, I am afraid that within ten days, the displaced people inside and outside Fushan County will follow the flow and follow the arrangement of the horse gang to Zhifu Island in the north. ”
Pu Xueguang also frowned secretly after hearing this, these displaced people in Fushan County have no output, and the direct impact on the Wanjia Army is not great, but these people have begun to leave Fushan County in a big way, which will inevitably drive other people in this area who seek a stable life to choose to defect to Haihan. In this way, the material supply base of the Wanjia Army will definitely be affected, which is not a good development trend.
At present, there are not many manpower for Pu Xueguang to deploy near Fushan County, and he is also a little afraid of this horse gang suspected of having a professional military background, and wants to use these personnel under his command who only have personal courage to fight against the cavalry, Pu Xueguang feels that it is better to avoid this risk as much as possible. But he couldn't just watch the situation deteriorate, so he immediately picked a few people and let them blend in with the people near the Haihan Horse Gang, if the other party wanted to take them to Zhifu Island, then follow them first to see what the local situation was.
At noon, Pu Xueguang was having lunch, and his subordinates came into the house to report: "The big boss has arrived!"
