Chapter 1606: Pige and the Red Guards

Two men in red clothes came to the town, and they began to distribute leaflets to the townspeople, one by one, with red seals as the edge and white eagles as the recognition, which were leaflets advertising the recruitment of members of the Red Guards.

"Red Guards?" the townspeople held leaflets and looked inexplicably: "Do you want to recruit soldiers to fight?"

The man in red who handed out the leaflets said to the residents: "You see what it says on the leaflets, as long as the men between the ages of 16 and 55, or women between the ages of 16 and 45, regardless of their ability, can join our Red Guards, and if there are special skills, they are not subject to the age limit." ”

The townsfolk looked at the flyer and were not interested in fighting, but what happened next changed the minds of the townspeople, especially the young laborers.

"You said that people who sign up for the Red Guards can receive fifty gold coins immediately?"

The man in red clothes smiled and said, "As long as you sign up for the Red Guards, you can immediately pay everyone the first fifty gold coins, and when you go to the army with us, there will be another military salary, and you will be paid every month in the future." ”

Poor people are not afraid of death, they are only afraid of poverty, as long as they can get rid of the torture of poverty, they will seize the opportunity regardless of everything. And the two men in red clothes, or rather the person who wrote this leaflet, seem to know very well what these poor people want most.

The man in red said, "The country is destroyed, those pirates have taken over our land, we will take back from them what belongs to us, and restore the empire, and then every one of you will be the hero of the restoration of the country, and the high officials will be at your fingertips......"

The man in red said as he looked at the expressions of the crowd, and he could clearly see that the originally plain expressions on the faces of the townspeople gradually became less bland, and more and more people watched and listened to his preaching. The man in red spoke even more impassionedly. worked harder, and said that the eyes of the townspeople were shining brightly, and they were eager to try.

Finally, another man in red said: "You didn't have a chance before, but now is the only time that can change your fate, and that is to be poor forever, in this poor and bad land." Live like a beggar. Or do you want to seize the opportunity that fate gives you, and become a superior person in the near future? ”

As I said earlier, poor people are not afraid of death, but only poverty, and poverty is often more terrible than death, and people who are really poor and afraid would rather fight in life and death than be poor for a lifetime. This is also why throughout the ages those who have really rebelled and rebelled, and who have been robbers and thieves, are poor. Every word of the man in red clothes. The words cut to the heart of the townspeople, and spoke to their hearts.

In the evening, the two men in red were gone, taking with them most of the young and strong laborers of the town, and when fifty gold coins were handed out to them from house to house, they thought that their chance had come to change their fate.

Pig was holding a few of these Red Guard recruitment leaflets, which he had obtained while searching for clues and passing through some villages and towns. Although the content is somewhat different, the overall meaning is exactly the same.

"Red Guards...... Looks like someone is about to move. Someone in a red dress?" Pigg folded the flyer and put it in his pocket. He asked the local residents for some information, and said to himself: "Judging from the places where the Red Guards have passed these days, the places where the Red Guards distribute leaflets are all in the relatively poor villages and towns, and the cities with better living conditions have not found their leaflets for the time being. If you want to recruit people into an army, it is true that the poor are easier to stir up and are easy to recruit. And these places are less noticeable. Well...... Impoverished villages and towns. ”

Two days later, in a small village in the same mountainous area, two members of the Red Guards in red clothes, one of whom was originally from the village, came here to distribute propaganda leaflets. Many of the men, women, and children in the village responded, and more than 50 young men immediately decided to join the Red Guards. The two red-clothed Red Guards were very happy, so they went to the restaurant to comfort themselves, but they didn't know that they had been targeted by Pig.

After the two Red Guards had eaten the wine and meat, they also invited more than fifty of their future companions to eat a good meal, and took them to prepare to return to their lives, while Pige followed quietly. Pig had worked as a scout before, and he had also done field work in the intelligence system, and these reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance things were easy for him to capture.

Halfway through, two Red Guards with more than fifty new recruits suddenly stopped, and Pige looked behind them, and it turned out that they had met their fellow Red Guards on the way, and they sat down and talked.

This place was wild and overgrown, and Pigy could not hear what they were saying, so he quietly approached, and only heard the bearded Red Guards laugh and say, "...... Hahaha, we've been wreaking havoc everywhere for the past two weeks, making those pirates panic and deploy everywhere, but they can defend one place, can they still defend every place?"

Another Red Guard, with a white eagle painted on his chest, said: "Pirates are just pirates, and even if they are said to be gods, they are actually just a group of rogue warriors on the sea." Now that we are recruiting soldiers, the scale is rapidly expanding, and there are more than 10,000 people in our White Eagle Red Guard alone. The destruction of the pirate's inter-city teleportation array on several occasions has greatly strengthened our momentum, and I have heard that the place of recruitment is intended to be shifted from the countryside and towns. Even if those pirates threaten the former officials with all kinds of means, who knows if the pirates will fail one day and whether we will return to the country?"

There was also a Red Guard, who also had a white eagle on his chest, but his forehead was bald from the top of his head, and the rest of his hair was braided with red and green ropes. The balding Red Guard said to the two low-ranking men, "Now there is a new task for you, and you will pass it on when you meet other companions." ”

"What mission?"

The bald Red Guards said, "When you go to recruit soldiers, spread some rumors by the way, such as ......" As soon as he said this, he suddenly heard a strange noise in the nearby grass, and immediately stood up and looked for a voice.

It turned out that Pigg was lurking in the grass to eavesdrop on them, but unfortunately the breath on his body attracted the two wild dogs resting in the grass, and although Pigg knocked the wild dogs unconscious with a stone hidden weapon, he still made a noise. He knew he couldn't eavesdrop anymore, so he didn't show his head, and quickly jumped away along the grass that was one man tall. When the Red Guards found the location where he had been hiding, they saw only two faint wild dogs, and no one was in sight.

The Red Guards knew that the conversation just now might have been heard, but they didn't know how much the other party had listened to, but fortunately they didn't say much, but they couldn't stay here. I had to continue chatting as we walked. After chatting, the two sides dispersed, and the two low-status people went back with more than fifty recruits to resume their lives, and the two people with white eagles painted on their chests seemed to be going to a nearby small city.

Before entering the city, the two small leaders of the Red Guards had already changed their conspicuous clothes, and entered the city like ordinary people, and they wandered all the way, and finally turned to a pharmacy and suddenly disappeared.

Pig chased after him, and it turned out that he hadn't gone far since he had been spotted before, and had been following them. It wasn't until they dispersed that he decided to follow the two higher-ranking people here. Although it is also important to figure out the gathering place of the people recruited by the Red Guards, listening to the previous words, this is only one of their Red Guards, and it is not known if it is a branch of their branch, or just a temporary settlement. comparatively. It is even more important to know what the Red Guards will do next.

He chased to the pharmacy and didn't see the two men. After taking a closer look around, I noticed that there was a very narrow and shady alleyway behind the drugstore. He was about to go inside and take a look, but suddenly he felt that someone seemed to be staring at him around the store, and he quickly bent down and pretended to tie his shoes, but his eyes looked around. In front of the nearby shops, there were people casually looking at him. He knew that this must be the eyeliner arranged by the Red Guards, and secretly thought that the back of this pharmacy should be a stronghold of the Red Guards, but at this time, he couldn't go in to check again, so he had to pretend to pat the mud on his trouser legs. Yang Chang left.

In the evening, Pig came to the pharmacy again, in fact he did not leave, but looked for a room nearby, and watched the situation of the pharmacy opposite through the window.

The pharmacy was operating normally, and the customers who came and went bought the medicine and left, and they didn't stay for a long time, and no one went in and out of the alley behind the pharmacy until late at night, when the people on the street were scattered, and Pige came down from the rented room.

He didn't rush close to the drugstore, even if he couldn't see anyone on the street on the surface, there must still be eyeliner watching the movement near the drugstore in the dark. He leaned quietly against the shadow of a street lamp at the intersection, he was far away, far enough away that the average eyeliner wouldn't believe anyone could observe the pharmacy here, but he could. Here he could see everything in the vicinity of the pharmacy very clearly, even if a mouse passed by, he could tell clearly, and no one from a distance could see him. Shadows under the protection of light are the safest corners, because light is sometimes a good visual barrier.

A minute, two minutes, an hour passed, and Pigg waited patiently, not moving. He had always been confident in his observations, and he knew that after the two men had entered, they had not come out until now, and there was no way to escape his eyes except for the secret passage after the pharmacy.

Patience, sometimes the harvest is not based on who is more capable, but on who is more patient.

At last, the fruit of patience was waited for by him, and at the point when a man was already sleepy to the point where he could not do it, in the dark narrow passage, two Red Guards who had gone in during the day came out, and Pig could see clearly, and he recognized the two-color argument on the bald man's head. In addition to these two people, three other people also came out, one of them was the owner of the pharmacy he had noticed, and the other two were unfamiliar faces.

These five people came out one after another, first the pharmacy owner came out and looked left and right, and then came out in twos and twos, and there was no conversation after the five of them came out, but even if they were talking, they couldn't be heard by Pige if they were too far away. After the four men came out, they went their separate ways, and Pige was a little troubled, he was alone and lacked skills, and he didn't know which side to go with. But seeing that the bald man was walking in a hurry, while the two on the other side were walking more calmly, he thought about it and decided that it would be better to follow the bald man. As soon as he had a rough idea of the abilities of these two people, he didn't find out about them along the way, so he knew that they wouldn't have much strength, and they were in a hurry, so they should have something to do. On the other side, he walked easily and comfortably, and there was nothing to do next, he should find a place to sleep and rest, and when the two people left, Pig obviously felt that there was a lot less eyeliner around him, although he didn't see the position of each eyeliner with his own eyes, but the atmosphere of observing and being observed was an intuition for him. He knew exactly which place and which position was suitable for observation, and he could immediately perceive it when the people in that place left.
