Chapter 72 Crisis
"How do you say this?" Seeing that this woman is really good, Old Zhou didn't care about being called a coward. In normal times, he would have jumped up and slapped this woman.
"What do you mean? You said those people who killed Qian Dao came to kill people because of the salt. Now that you know the salt, will those people not kill us? You are a timid coward, why don't you tell your boss quickly and let him
Be prepared as soon as possible." His mother-in-law was really angry, her tone of voice was trembling, and her fingers were trembling. Finally, she was so angry that she threw the spatula stuck in her waist.
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away." Lao Zhou scurried around, dodged the spatula, and hurried to the salt field. Wang Wenyan happened to be here for inspection today and was checking the inventory in the warehouse. If it were later, he wouldn't be able to see anyone.
.
After running all the way to the warehouse, Lao Zhoutou didn't bother to take a breath and quickly buried the things he had kept in his heart. After hearing this, Wang Wenyan was also shocked.
"You said that ten years ago, someone wanted to build a salt drying field here, but the pirates came ashore and killed them all?" Wang Wenyan asked in disbelief. This is not an ordinary place. This is Tianjin Wei, the emperor.
Not far away from the place where we cross Tianjin, there are three acropolis watching the coastal defense. Where would the pirates dare to land here and kill people?
"Huhu~" After taking a few breaths, Lao Zhoutou patted his chest and assured: "My boss, I really didn't lie. I was really killed. My boss, you have to be careful."
"How do you know that those people were killed for building a salt drying field, rather than a vendetta or paid murder?" The astute Wang Wenyan quickly discovered something was wrong. How could an old salt person handle such a confidential matter?
Ding knew it.
"Boss, the last person who came to see you met me ten years ago. He had a conflict with the people who wanted to build a salt drying field here. Before leaving, he threatened to leave them to die. They were talking outside at that time, that
He is still young, very arrogant, and his voice is loud, so I heard it and wrote something." Lao Zhoutou explained the situation in detail. Finally, he wriggled his lower lip and said remindingly: "My boss, the salesman who came here recently.
There are a lot more. I came four or five times last month, and I have come seven or eight times this month.”
This news immediately made Wang Wenyan's heart skip a beat, and he immediately paid attention. There was only one dilapidated village with salt collectors around here, and it was indeed abnormal for the salesman to do so many times in a month. When he thought about it carefully, he realized all the weird things in the past.
As soon as he made the connection, he immediately felt that what Lao Zhoutou said was probably true.
He didn't come here in vain. In Changlu Town, he used his usual skills in the county government to get around quickly. There were also some dealers who had benefited from him and wanted to get salt from him secretly.
I quietly asked him, but was ignored by him who was busy producing salt at the time.
"I'm afraid this matter won't be easy to handle. We have to discuss it with my uncle and Mr. Zhang." After muttering to himself, Wang Wenyan came back to his senses and found that Old Zhou was still behind him, so he waved his hand, "Okay.
, you have done a good job, if something happens, the salt field will survive this difficulty, and it will be indispensable for your benefit."
"Thank you, boss." Lao Zhoutou left with a happy face. After living for most of his life, he finally met a boss who appreciated him. It was really a blessing after all the hardships.
With this important news that he got by chance, Wang Wenyan returned to Changlu Town. Tianjin Sanwei is a military household guard station, which is not suitable for living, and the Salt Class Transfer Department is located in Changlu Town, so their residence is naturally arranged.
Here it is.
After returning to his residence on the main street in the center of Changlu Town, Wang Wenyan quickly summoned the leading figures of the group, including his uncle Wang Sheng, his young father-in-law Zhang Shize, Jinyi Baihuluo Yangxing, and the emperor's wife.
Sun's singing was followed by the eunuch Wei Zhongxian.
After everyone gathered, Wang Wenyan reported the news, and his expressions suddenly varied.
"Let's go back quickly. There are pirates killing people. It's so dangerous." This is the young master Zhang Shize. He looked nervous and looked around, fearing that pirates would show up now.
"In broad daylight, there are bandits running rampant, how can there be any law for the king!" This is Wang Sheng, he is not afraid, but what he said made Wang Wenyan frown, how long has it been, and he said such an official thing?
if.
"Report it to the local government and organize a large army to encircle and suppress it." Wei Zhongxian said angrily. This is a good idea, but it takes too long.
"Deploy the strength of the nearby Tianjin Three Guards and the local Jinyi Guards to be prepared to resist the encirclement and suppression." This is Luo Yangxing, a typical warrior's thinking, but it is also the most reliable one.
As for Wang Wenyan, he was frowning and thinking deeply. Faced with this crisis situation, he had no good solution at the moment.
At this time, Zhu Youxiao came out of Qianqing Palace with a smile on his face. The gifts he prepared made Wanli very satisfied. He even praised him for his filial piety and for not forgetting his grandfather in such a busy time. In fact, the things Zhu Youxiao prepared were not
Strangely, it was just a wicker chair, a few old chairs and a few chairs with cushioned backrests. Unexpectedly, it made Wanli extremely happy.
Wanli was so happy that he immediately agreed to his requests. Not only did he allow him to go to the outskirts of the city for armed training and spend the night outside, he even allowed him to go to the inner court or the Ministry of Works to select the craftsmen he wanted.
"I am smiling triumphantly, I am smiling triumphantly." The happy Zhu Youxiao hummed an unknown song, leisurely left the Qianqing Palace and walked towards the East Palace Forbidden Army Station.
After returning to the station, he did not waste any time in the evening. In addition to asking the eunuch in green to educate the teenagers as usual, he gathered twenty squad leaders and gave them lessons.
Soon, all twenty newly appointed junior officers arrived. After the twenty people took their seats one by one, Zhu Youxiao walked into this small room.
"Hello, Your Highness." As soon as Zhu Youxiao walked in, twenty people immediately stood up and knelt down on one knee to perform a military salute. It was indeed crackling, the space was a bit small, and the military salute was relatively large, bumping into the table next to it.
Chair. But despite this, everyone's etiquette was very standard, without any deformation, which fully demonstrated the results of their training during this period.
"stand up!"
"Take a break!"
"stand at attention!"
"Look to the right!"
"Look forward!"
"sit down!"
Zhu Youxiao did it exactly according to the army's routine, and these teenagers were used to it. Every night's cultural exercises were like this, and every move was in accordance with the rules. Four months of non-stop training and the incorporation of these rules into the
every detail of their lives.
Among them, Li Yuyu, who was standing first in the first row, attracted Zhu Youxiao's special attention. Among the series of actions just now, he did the most outstanding job. This outstanding performance does not mean that his movements and demeanor are better than those of the other nineteen people.
To be more standard, they are all carefully selected by Zhu Youxiao, and their standards are almost the same. But it is an overall feeling and temperament. It seems that Zhu Youxiao's series of rules and regulations have been engraved in his bones.
, all movements, all expressions, are so natural and so natural.
This is a born soldier!
Zhu Youxiao made a comment to Li Yuyu from the bottom of his heart, he kind of likes this young man.
"Although you are the new ones, after three or four months of getting along with each other, everyone is already very familiar with each other, so I won't do any nonsense. I will directly start explaining to you the tactical thinking and training of the entire East Palace Forbidden Army.
Outline." Looking at the twenty young men sitting at attention, he smiled slightly and began his lecture. Seriously speaking, these twenty young men were his real flutes and the seeds for his new army to take root and sprout.
"This is how I understand the battle between the two armies, which is to expand our lethality, suppress the other party's lethality, and invest as much of our lethality as possible on the enemy." Spread yourself and rinse your fabricated tampering.
After going through the infantry square formation drill, Zhu Youxiao talked eloquently, explaining his name and views bit by bit.
"Compared to chaotic conflicts, neat formations can protect our soldiers as much as possible and kill the enemy. The second is good protection and long-range strikes..."
Soon, half an hour passed, and Zhu Youxiao also ended his teaching. Today, he only briefly explained his ideas and did not go into details. But even so, these teenagers suddenly realized and made them understand the queue.
The profound significance of training.
"That's it, I finally understand why I need to practice steering well!"
"Yes, yes! I just realized that walking in the wrong direction is so important."
Li Yuyu, on the other hand, looked confused in his clothes. He stood up and summoned up the courage to ask Zhu Youxiao: "Your Highness, among the three major steps, after what you just explained, running and marching are both important for combat.
Help, what about the goose step? What use is this for combat?"
His question shocked the friends around him. They had never thought about the use of this step. When Li Yuyu asked, they also noticed this problem.
"Yeah, what's the use of this pace? With your legs raised so high, you're tired and can't walk fast."
For a time, the twenty teenagers all looked at Zhu Youxiao with their eyes wide open, hoping that he would give an answer.
"Haha, the army not only needs to fight, but also needs to publicize." After Zhu Youxiao said such an inscrutable sentence, he walked out without explaining.
But before leaving the house, he turned his head again and said to the twenty squad leaders who were still confused and thinking carefully: "Don't hide these things I have told you. I will tell them to myself during the lunch break tomorrow."
Listen to the people in the class, I will investigate, and if any questions arise, remember to respond."
After saying that, Zhu Youxiao left directly.
His words immediately caused an explosion in the room.
"Ah, I have to tell others, I haven't even remembered it all yet."
"It's over, it's over, butcher, come on, I didn't understand a part just now, please explain it to me."
"Xiao Yu'er, come on, I don't understand much here, please give me some guidance."
For a moment, there was chaos in the room. Everyone was asking each other, studying and recalling, to confirm what Zhu Youxiao had just said. Some of them were faster learners and could already take notes on their own. They were watching nervously at the moment. They wanted to give lessons to themselves.
People on the forum said that this was something that was beyond everyone's expectations. Even Li Yuyu, who had always been extremely calm, began to get nervous and busy, reviewing what Zhu Youxiao had just explained and organizing the words in his mind.
Being able to be elected as squad leader this time, everyone is very good, and naturally they have a sense of superiority in their hearts. No one wants to embarrass themselves in front of everyone, not even their own people. Besides,
Yes, His Highness will still conduct an inspection. Who knows whether the results of the inspection are good or not, and whether they will affect me.
