The old man surnamed Zhao frowned and said, "But we can't force him too much!" If the soldiers mutinied, I am afraid that Quanzhou will also suffer from the pond fish! ”
Li Shusheng flicked his sleeves and said, "This is okay!" When things are about to change, we will give him a batch of supplies to appease the soldiers! Then he will know what to do! You know, if the soldiers mutinied, he, the commander, would be the first to bear the brunt! ”
Zhang Liren said with a smile: "This is a good idea!" Then let's continue to contact the others as we just said. ”
Li Shusheng said: "Not only that, but all kinds of businesses in the city should also be notified, and within three days, if someone with a northern accent buys goods, they will not be allowed to sell!" ”
The old man surnamed Zhao said with a grim face: "Okay, just act like this!" ”
After finishing speaking, several people said goodbye to each other and hurriedly left the restaurant to find their own people. At the same time, in the camp, Liu Haojia smiled and said to the officer in charge of procurement: "How is the situation outside now?" ”
The officer said: "Young Marshal, this time the lower officer went to various merchants, according to what the young marshal said, his attitude is very tough!" But they still pushed the lower officials back, the reason was that it was raining heavily in the field, the roads were not smooth, and the materials could not be transported! ”
Liu Haojia still smiled and said: "It's really good words to persuade damn ghosts!" It seems that some people are really going to die! ”
After speaking, he said to Li Wenliang: "Do you have the confession of those pirate leaders?" ”
Li Wenliang said: "There is already one, but the only one who can have a relationship with the Quanzhou gentry is the poison-eyed osprey, and the rest are either dead or escaped!" ”
Liu Haojia said lightly: "It's okay, there is no confession, just make one!" There are not many other people in Jinyiwei, and there are the most such talents! ”
After saying that, he said to the purchasing officer: "You send people again before the evening, this time the attitude should be tougher, and it doesn't matter if you threaten them!" But to show enough anxiety to make them feel like we're helpless, you know? ”
The officer agreed and turned around and left, and from the beginning to the end, he was not surprised that Liu Haojia's leader mentioned the name of the poison-eyed osprey! Because he already knew that Liu Haojia was only the backbone of those pirates, and the real pirate leaders were not released at all, and now they were being severely tortured one by one, hoping to force the people behind them to be questioned!
After he left, Liu Haojia, Li Wenliang and others threw themselves into the great cause of fleet formation, and from time to time they would call one or several officers of the Quanzhou Naval Division to ask some questions. Now those officers of the Navy Division are very well-behaved, but whenever Liu Haojia has any questions, they will answer them wholeheartedly, which makes Liu Haojia very satisfied!
In the evening, when the buying officer took people out into the street again, he found that the atmosphere was a little strange! Naturally, the common people were very happy to see them, and they even greeted them and brought some fruit. But the merchants looked embarrassed, and they wanted to stop talking!
Through his quiet inquiry, a well-meaning vendor told him the reason. Only then did he know that the gentry of Quanzhou had colluded to make the merchants not sell things to the boss! And the news has already spread! So many people are scolding those merchants, saying that they are ungrateful!
But they don't know that those merchants also have hardships and can't say it! Either the proprietor behind them gave the order, or the news came from someone they couldn't afford to mess with, and they had to do the same. As for why, they don't know!
At this time, many people were worried, worried about whether the soldiers of the sailor division would be able to eat enough? And many people spontaneously sent a lot of rice grains and vegetables. The actions of these civilians are only because they think that these sailors and soldiers have really gone to exterminate the pirates!
Liu Haojia, who heard the news, sighed repeatedly: "The people's hearts are available!" ”! Then he asked people to stand guard in front of the camp and pay the people who brought rice and vegetables! But even so, there are still many people who just drop their things and quietly leave.
When the news spread, the people were naturally smiling, the merchants were sinking like water on all sides, and the main messengers behind the boss were celebrating! Because they know that there is not much surplus food in the hands of the people! They sent food to the camp of the sailor once, but they were afraid that they would have to eat bran next month!
And the same news spread among the sailors' camp! At the same time as the news spread, there were naturally smart people who explained the cause and effect to these soldiers. After listening to the explanation, these soldiers knew the sinister intentions of the gentry, and they all howled in anger!
If it weren't for the closed gates of the camp and the patrolling of soldiers, I am afraid that these people would rush out of the camp and attack the door! So all the soldiers spent the night in a sullen mood! Especially the soldiers of the Quanzhou Water Division are even more bored!
Although they have not yet been officially reorganized into the navy, it does not prevent the leaders from seeing themselves as soldiers of the navy! The brothers in the north worked hard to kill countless pirates along the way, but they were deprived of military rations by their hometown fathers and elders, which is simply a disgrace to their own face!
The next morning, I just had breakfast, and suddenly I remembered the sound of drums! All the soldiers subconsciously gathered at the school grounds. When they arrived, they found that a group of soldiers of the Beiyang Fleet were already standing on the playground. They also hurried back to their respective teams and stood in their usual positions.
At this time, an officer came out and randomly ordered people in the crowd and handed out weapons. And let them come out and line up alone. Some people asked only one answer: "Go and catch the pirate's den owner in a moment, and you can just listen to the order!" ”
These soldiers of the Quanzhou Water Division immediately became excited when they heard this! Especially those who were chosen, they were even more proud and proud! Subsequently, the leader was incorporated into the soldiers of the Beiyang Fleet, divided into several groups of soldiers and horses, and each officer led them to the camp gate.
Before arriving at the camp gate, the leader saw that Liu Haojia had led a group of officers to wait for them on horseback. Seeing the soldiers arriving, Liu Haojia waved his hand and said, "Open the door and arrest someone!" ”
After the battalion opened, all the soldiers swarmed out and went straight to Quanzhou City. The camp of the sailor division is only a few miles away from the east gate of Quanzhou City, which can be described as a blink of an eye for the soldiers!
When they approached Quanzhou City, the soldiers guarding the gate saw them! They saw the soldiers of the brigade rushing over and raised their vigilance, but when the other party approached, they found that it was the soldiers of the Quanzhou Naval Division, and they relaxed their spirits.
However, they also wondered how these sailor soldiers suddenly entered the city in droves, and they were also carrying knives and guns! So the officer defending the city motioned for his soldiers to go and ask about it. But the soldier also felt that things were a little strange, and he was also afraid of death, so he delayed and refused to come forward.
