There are many officials in Laizhou City. In addition to Sun Yuanhua, the local magistrate Zhu, the magistrate Hong and the generals stationed at the guard station, there is also the Shandong patrol censor Wang Daochun. According to the historical trajectory, a large number of officials and generals will come to Laizhou in February. : Yang Yufan, the commander-in-chief of the defeated Xincheng, Xu Congzhi, the newly appointed governor of Shandong, and Xie Lian, logically speaking, but now that Sun Yuanhua is safe and sound, I wonder if it will be his turn to be the governor of Denglai. [No pop-up novel website] In addition, there are also the eunuchs Xu Deshi and Zhai Sheng, etc.

Among the rural officials, there are also a group of prominent officials from the past. The highest-ranking one is Jia Yuxiang, who was formerly the deputy censor of Zuodu. The lower ranking ones include Jinshi in the fifth year of Tianqi, and Zhang Xin, who is now deposed from home... These people are all involved in Laizhou. Defensive warfare.

All of these people are fine people. As a "country brave", the traces of "Kun thieves" are too strong. Although there is no news network in the Ming Dynasty, officials are relatively well-informed. There are "Kun thieves" with sharp firearms in Guangdong. "They have a somewhat vague idea of ​​what this means. It is not appropriate for him to show his face in front of them either emotionally or rationally.

Sun Yuanhua is such a shrewd person. He immediately understood what Lu Zeyang meant when he heard what he said. Although he didn't know the future historical direction, he had already received the news that Xu Congzhi was going to enter the city. He completely agrees with the other party's unwillingness to create unnecessary details.

"I wonder where Lu Zhuangshi would like to be stationed?" Sun Yuanhua nodded and agreed to his request.

Lu Zeyang had already considered this issue on the road. If he stayed in the city, host and guest armies from all walks of life would soon gather in the city. Historically, host and guest armies rarely had a harmonious relationship. Even if the officials suppressed the situation effectively, not only would more than a hundred people like me be involved, but I would also have to expend a lot of effort to break up all aspects of the relationship, which was very energy-consuming.

Moreover, the relevant intelligence predictions sent by the history research group of the Great Library also mentioned that Sun Yuanhua is likely to lose his position as governor of Denglai - even if he continues to keep this position, there is still Xu Congzhi in Laizhou City, and Sun Yuanhua will be very important in the city in the future. It is difficult to maintain absolute authority. After all, our troops are small. Without Sun Yuanhua's support, they might be used as cannon fodder.

The best policy is to stay outside the city based on emotions and reasons. But this location cannot be too far from the city. If you are alone and unable to play a role at critical moments, you will lose your purpose of going to Laizhou. So after thinking twice, he expressed his willingness to lead his army to station in Guanxiang outside the city. The location is the gate outside the south gate.

The area outside the south gate is relatively remote compared to the other three city gates. There are many ancestral halls and cemeteries of wealthy families outside the city. There are many empty houses, making it convenient for garrisoning. What's more important is that it is relatively close to Hutou Cliff, Laizhou's main harbor, which makes it easier for the navy to respond from the sea.

In all city defense battles in the Ming Dynasty, as long as conditions permitted, the defenders would try to set up camps outside the city. To directly defend the city gate. It is not surprising that Lu Zeyang asked Ying to guard the south gate and guard the city.

"It's okay to station at the south gate gate. But you only have a hundred people, how can you guard the south gate gate?" Sun Yuanhua felt that the other party's willingness to take the initiative to guard the south gate gate was commendable, but it was too much. According to his idea, the number of troops stationed at the south gate must be at least 500 soldiers, coupled with local braves and strong men - it may not be enough. The large number of firearms in Dengzhou City may be transported by the rebels to attack the city. By then, I’m afraid even five hundred people won’t be able to fill it.

"You must also know that our firearms are sharp -" Lu Zeyang did not hide it, "the rebels are no more than local chickens and wagyu."

This is too much to say. Sun Yuanhua was a little dissatisfied, and Lu Zeyang added: "If there are some surplus troops in the city, and a few hundred strong men from the country are mobilized to help in the battle, I will be very grateful."

The implication is that we don’t want officers and soldiers. Sun Yuanhua understood what he meant. But when I thought of entrusting Nanmen Guanxiang to hundreds of warriors from the countryside, I felt a little hesitant. But then I thought that I didn't have many fresh troops in my hands. Guanxiang would fall sooner or later. It would be better to keep the strong soldiers to defend the city directly. …,

Although the soldiers brought by Lu Zeyang are called Xiang Yong, their actual combat strength will not be lower than that of the Ming Dynasty soldiers - maybe even higher than them. Otherwise, He Zhentai's army would never be defeated in Hainan.

"Okay!" Sun Yuanhua nodded, "You will be stationed at Nanguanxiang." He pondered for a moment, "The guarding of the south gate will be presided over by the student himself."

"Your Excellency is wise!" Lu Zeyang thought to himself that Sun Yuanhua was indeed a sensible person. When defending the city, it was the practice of the Ming Dynasty that the main officials in the city were each responsible for a branch. In the historical Laizhou Defense War, Xu Congzhi, Xie Lian and others were each responsible for their own affairs. Xu Congzhi was hit by rebel artillery fire and died during the battle to defend the city. If another official was put in charge, there would inevitably be doubts about the origin of this rural warrior. It would be much more convenient for Sun Yuanhua to be directly responsible.

As for the Xiangyong sent there, Lu Zeyang was confident that he could control them all. Use it as migrant workers first, and then just replenish it directly to the advancing column.

"It's just that the south gate still lacks a guard..." Sun Yuanhua thought of another thing. In any case, Lu Zeyang is just a "civilian" with no reputation at all. He is responsible for the defense of Nanguanxiang and has no name, and he has no ability to cooperate with other troops in the city. easy. He no longer has a trusted general in his hands, which makes him a little embarrassed.

"You can ask General Zhang Tao to defend the south gate." Lu Zeyang said. Seeing Sun Yuanhua's face full of surprise, Lu Zeyang immediately whispered to him the news that Song Guanglan, Wang Zheng, Zhang Tao and others had been rescued.

"Don't worry, sir. We have temporarily detained them on the island. After they have rested for a day or two, we will escort them to Laizhou." He said meaningfully, "Several adults were able to fight their way out of the rebel army. Naturally, He is a person who understands righteousness and knows the truth, so you don’t have to worry..."

"Very good!" Sun Yuanhua was overjoyed. The rescue of these people was certainly good news for him, who was almost a bare-bones commander, but they did not know much about their capture. Now Lu Zeyang made it very clear: these people were prepared to conceal their experience of being captured. Everyone is on the same line. As long as they have the same caliber, there is no need to worry about being captured.

At that moment, Sun Yuanhua gave him a few more instructions, and then asked an aide to take him to see Zhu Wannian with his handwriting: All village heroes who came to the city to assist in the defense must register with him and report their number of people and weapons so that the government can send them to the government. Give food and military pay. At the same time, some weapons will be replenished according to the situation.

Walking on the main north-south avenue of Gulou Street in the county seat of Ye County, looking at the dilapidated Laizhou government office not far away, Elder Lu Zeyang couldn't help but feel a sense of absurd dissonance.

Although there is only one word difference in their names, Lu Zeyang and Lu Yang are not even remotely related to each other: Lu Yang is from Ningxia, and Lu Zeyang's family is from Shandong, to be more precise, Laizhou City, Yantai, Shandong Province, which is today Ye County, the capital county of Laizhou where Sun Yuanhua is located. This was also the critical moment when Operation Engine was in progress, and the Senate finally freed him from the Cheka's heavy audit work and sent him to the Laizhou front line. When it comes to familiarity with the scenery of Laizhou, no one in the entire Senate can match him. Not to mention anything else, the Laizhou dialect spoken by the special reconnaissance team soldiers and lurking intelligence agents was personally taught by Senator Lu Zeyang.

Although there were also deserters or refugees from Dongsan Prefecture such as Huang Ande among the naturalized people, most of them were from Dengzhou Prefecture further east, which was later the Yantai area of ​​Weihai. The difference between the dialect there and the Laizhou dialect is even to the point where you can tell the difference with your ears. This is also a headache for the executive committee during the planning stage of Operation Engine. It is impossible to find naturalized Laizhou citizens. Therefore, he had no choice but to drag Yuanlao Lu over as a living horse doctor to train people. Fortunately, Laizhou's population composition did not change much from the end of the Ming Dynasty to the entire Qing Dynasty, and the dialect was well preserved. Therefore, Lu Yuanlao's teaching of Laizhou dialect was "very effective" according to the feedback from the engine front finger. …,

In fact, during the preparation stage of Operation Engine, Mr. Lu wanted to go back to his "hometown" in a geographical sense to have a look. Unfortunately, he was neither a military personnel nor a dispensable member of the public. As a graduate of Xiamen University's accounting class, Mr. Lu is still a scarce accounting professional even in the financial industry where talents are abundant. Moreover, he is one of the few people who has worked in both the National Taxation Bureau and the Inspection Bureau, and is familiar with the organizational structure, so Cheng Donghe Yifan has always regarded him as the main labor force. During the initial stage of the establishment of Cheka and the State Administration of Taxation, Mr. Lu Yuanlao has always been on the front line. As the engine started to catch up with the year-end accounting stage of taxation, Mr. Lu felt that he was almost back to the days when he was an intern in the office: cup after cup of coffee from morning to night, busy with piles of year-end reports in the smoky office. Worried...

The busy and jealous Lu Yuanlao naturally missed the opportunity to dispatch the first batch of personnel. He himself had strong opinions on this. The reason why he gave up his ordinary life as a civil servant to participate in time travel was naturally because he wanted to make a career. Elder Lu had a great ambition: to follow the example of Song Ziwen, the God of Wealth, to establish a Senate version of the Tax Police Corps, or an armed fiscal guard!

The tax police is a powerful department established for the purpose of anti-smuggling and combating tax evasion. It is established in powerful countries such as Russia and Italy, but not in China. The tax inspection bureau only has the power to audit accounts and crack down on tax evasion businesses. It belongs to the Economic Crime Investigation Section of the Public Security Bureau, which is even worse than the Customs. At least it has full-time anti-smuggling police. Of course, the ultimate tax police force is the tax police corps of my uncle Song Ziwen. Of course, this is impossible under the Senate system. However, following the example of Italy, the establishment of a small-scale, paramilitary "Armed Financial Guard" is quite popular with several financial leaders - as the strength expands, Yifan also feels more and more that his own The department still needs to catch the barrel of the gun, otherwise the name Cheka will be in vain. rq
