The old man surnamed Zhao frowned and said: "But we can't push him too much! If the soldiers mutiny, Quanzhou will also suffer disaster!"
Li Shusheng waved his sleeves and said: "It doesn't matter! When things are about to change, I will give him a batch of supplies to appease the soldiers! Then he will know what to do! You know, if the soldiers mutiny, he will This coach must bear the brunt!"
Zhang Liren said with a smile: "This is a good idea! Then let's continue to contact other people as mentioned just now."
Li Shusheng said: "Not only that, all kinds of businesses in the city should also send people to inform them that within three days, if people with a Northern accent buy goods, they will not be allowed to sell them!"
The old man surnamed Zhao said with a sinister look on his face: "Okay, just do it like this!"
After saying this, several people said goodbye to each other and hurriedly left the restaurant to look for each other. At the same time in the camp, Liu Haojia smiled and said to the officer in charge of purchasing: "How is the situation outside now?"
The officer said: "Young Marshal, this time I went to various merchants. According to the Young Marshal, my attitude was very tough! But they still pushed me back. The reason was that it was raining heavily and the roads were not smooth, so the supplies could not be transported. Come up!"
Liu Haojia still smiled and said: "It's so hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words! It seems that some people are really on the road to death!"
After speaking, he said to Li Wenliang: "Do you have the confessions of those pirate leaders?"
Li Wenliang said: "There are already, but the only one who can be related to the Quanzhou gentry is the poison-eyed Osprey. The rest are either dead or escaped!"
Liu Haojia said calmly: "It doesn't matter. If you don't have a confession, just make one! There are not many others in Jinyiwei, and this class of talents is the most numerous!"
After that, he said to the purchasing officer: "Send people there again before evening. This time the attitude must be tougher. It doesn't matter if you threaten them! But you must show enough anxiety to make them feel that we have nothing to do. Understand ?"
The officer agreed and turned around to leave. From the beginning to the end, he was not surprised that leader Liu Haojia mentioned the name Venomous Eyed Osprey! Because he had known for a long time that the ones Liu Haojia pushed out to behead were just the hardcore pirates. The real pirate leaders were not released at all. Now they are being tortured one by one, hoping to force out the people behind them!
After he left, Liu Haojia, Li Wenliang and others devoted themselves to the great cause of fleet formation. From time to time, one or several officers from the Quanzhou Navy were called to ask some questions. Now those naval officers are extremely well-behaved. Whenever Liu Haojia has any questions, they answer them with all their heart, which makes Liu Haojia very satisfied!
When the purchasing officer took people to the streets again in the evening, he found that the atmosphere was a bit strange! Ordinary people were naturally very happy to see them, and even greeted them and sent them some fruits. But the merchant looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak!
Through his quiet inquiries, a kind-hearted merchant told him the reason. Only then did he know that the gentry in Quanzhou had colluded together to prevent the merchants from selling to the leader! And the news has spread! So many people are scolding those businesses and saying that they are ungrateful!
But they don’t know that those merchants are also suffering from something they can’t tell! Either the boss behind them gave the order, or someone they couldn't afford to offend sent the news, and they had to do this. As for why, they don’t know!
At this time, many people were worried, worried about whether the navy soldiers could have enough to eat? Moreover, many people spontaneously sent a lot of rice and vegetables. These common people acted just because they felt that these naval soldiers were really going to destroy pirates!
After hearing the news, Liu Haojia sighed repeatedly, "The people's support can be used!"! Then he asked people to stand in front of the camp and pay the people who brought rice, grains and vegetables according to the price! But even so, there are still many people who just throw away their things and leave quietly.
When the news spread, the people were naturally beaming with joy, the merchants were all downcast, and the messengers behind the boss were celebrating! Because they know that the people don’t have much surplus food at all! They sent food to the navy camp once, but they were afraid that they would have to eat chaff next month!
And the same news spread among the navy camp! As the news spread, smart people naturally explained the causes and consequences to these soldiers. After hearing the explanation, these soldiers knew the sinister intentions of the gentry, and they all screamed in anger!
If the camp gate hadn't been closed tightly and there were soldiers patrolling, I'm afraid these people would have rushed out of the camp and knocked on the door! So all the soldiers spent a night feeling stuffy! Especially the soldiers of the Quanzhou Navy were even more upset!
Although they have not been officially transformed into a navy yet, it does not prevent the leader from seeing himself as a soldier of the navy! The brothers in the north have worked hard to kill countless pirates, but their fathers in their hometown have cut off their military rations. This is simply a disgrace to their own faces!
The next morning, just after breakfast, I suddenly heard the sound of drums! All the soldiers subconsciously gathered towards the school grounds. When they arrived, they found a group of soldiers from the Beiyang Fleet already standing on the playground. They also hurriedly returned to their respective teams and stood in their usual positions.
At this time, an officer came out to randomly point people in the crowd and handed them weapons. They were also asked to come out and line up individually. When a good person asked, he only got one answer: "I'll catch the pirate's den owner later, just follow my orders!"
These soldiers of the Quanzhou Navy immediately became excited when they heard this! Especially those who were selected were proud of themselves! The leader was then incorporated into the soldiers of the Beiyang Fleet and divided into several groups of troops, each led by an officer to lead them in formation to the camp gate.
Before arriving at the camp gate, the leader saw Liu Haojia leading a group of officers on horseback waiting for them. Seeing the soldiers arriving, Liu Haojia waved and said, "Open the door and arrest them!"
After the battalions were opened, all the soldiers rushed out and headed straight for Quanzhou City. The naval camp is only a few miles away from the east gate of Quanzhou City. For the soldiers, it can be said that they are there in a blink of an eye!
When they approached Quanzhou City, the gatekeepers saw them! When they saw the soldiers from the brigade coming towards them, they all increased their vigilance. However, when they got closer, they realized that they were soldiers from the Quanzhou Navy, and they relaxed their spirits.
But they were also very surprised as to why these navy soldiers suddenly entered the city in groups, and they even carried knives and guns! So the officer guarding the city signaled his soldiers to go and inquire. But the soldier also felt that something was a little strange and was afraid of death, so he delayed and refused to step forward.
