Waiting until the morning of the third day, a large number of Wu'an Army soldiers poured out of the camp and formed a column. Each soldier carried a quilt on his back. Even if it is wrapped in oilcloth, you can see its square shape. There is also a small long package attached to it.
At the same time, look at their waists and see that they also have water bottles, waist pouches and bullet boxes. But what is unexpected is that all they carry on their shoulders are wooden guns, which looks a bit uncoordinated. But even though they were carrying wooden guns, their stern military appearance and neat pace were as neat as the swords, axes and chisels. The onlookers still couldn’t laugh at all!
Knowing that the Wu'an Army was leaving today, many relatives came to see him off. So there was already a sea of people outside the military camp. There were countless spectators, making the crowd even more chaotic. These people couldn't help but cheer loudly when they saw that Wu An's army miraculously maintained an orderly formation even when they were marching! After all, these soldiers are all descendants of Tianjin, and they, Tianjin people, are naturally proud of them.
On a small slope not far away, Mr. Wang and Chu Dayuan stood side by side, with several other gang leaders standing behind them.
Mr. Wang looked at the marching Wu'an Army and couldn't help but sigh: "It is indeed a strong army! Even the elites in the capital cannot get out of such a formation!"
Chu Dayuan said with some disdain: "Mr. Wang is a little exaggerated, right? Soldiers rely on fighting, not on marching in an orderly formation!"
Mr. Wang shook his head and said: "Although I am not familiar with military affairs, I know that if you can train soldiers to this point, they can be said to be like an arm, so once the war begins, they must be mobilized extremely smoothly and their combat effectiveness must be good!"
Chu Dayuan rolled his eyes and said: "In this case, isn't this God's blessing for us? Without the Wu'an Army on our heads, as long as we cause trouble in Tianjin and the court agrees to our terms, won't it? Isn’t it easier?”
Mr. Wang twirled his beard and said with a smile: "This is natural! This matter has been echoed in the capital for a long time. As long as something happens here, people from the capital will rush there as soon as possible. They will also agree to all our requests. , and then we hand over some scapegoats to them, even if the civil unrest has been quelled! With the imperial court’s endorsement, I understand that Hou Wu Ning won’t be able to stir up any trouble!”
At this point, Mr. Wang suddenly sighed and said: "Looking at the well-organized movements of these soldiers and horses, it can be seen that Wu Ninghou is really capable! It's a pity that he can't be used by others. Sooner or later, there will be misfortune!"
Chu Dayuan said: "Oh, what do you say?"
Mr. Wang said: "Master, don't you hear that Huaibi is guilty? Wu Ninghou is worthy of being called the golden touch. Under his management, his fiefdom has become a place where gold is made every day! A place like this There is no other place in the world. It has been remembered by everyone for a long time! It’s just that everyone is worried about each other, forming a delicate balance, so no one takes action! And Wu Ninghou is also a smart person, borrowing the name of Jin Yiwei here Having trained the Wu'an Army, this was his intention to protect himself! But he didn't want to think that the more prosperous his fiefdom became, the more coveted it would be by others! Once the nobles reached an agreement, it would be overturned in a moment. !」
Chu Dayuan said: "This is a good thing! The fall of Wu Ninghou is a good thing for everyone! But having said that, Mr. Wang should know who is planning to attack Tianjin?"
Mr. Wang said proudly: "That's natural! It's just hard to tell you at this moment! But in the future, the boss will know a thing or two when he gets the post of guard!"
When Chu Dayuan heard this, he held up his hands with a smile on his face and said, "This matter needs to be carefully considered by Mr. Wang!"
Mr. Wang smiled and said, "Easy to say, easy to say!"
The two of them just talked and laughed, watching the army swarming out of the camp. And these soldiers were even more energetic when they were cheered by their relatives and passers-by, and they walked more neatly. They really looked like a strong army!
Sitting on the horse and watching the team rolling forward, Liu Hao's family felt proud! The only regret is that this team has been trained now, but if they don't go into battle to fight, they will always be just the same!
The army marched like this for three days. When it set off on the fourth day, spies disguised as ordinary people came from behind and reported, saying: "Commander, we have found out.
Those who followed us did not come with us today. I think they have gone back to report the news! "
Liu Haojia said: "Have you found out how many people there are? Who sent them?"
The spy said: "There are about ten people watching us. I don't know which family they belong to. But I have sent brothers to chase them. News will be sent to them when they return to Tianjin City."
Liu Haojia nodded and said, "I understand, let's go down and receive the reward."
Then Liu Haojia called several officers around him and said: "We will march at the normal speed today and tomorrow, and we will double the distance from the third day on."
Now Liu Haojia's marching speed is based on the fixed speed at this time, which means that he can march 40 miles a day. After getting rid of those who were watching, he was ready to try a forced march to see what level the soldiers who had been trained for a long time were like!
The soldiers patrolling the streets in Tianjin City were removed together, and now only ordinary patrolling security personnel are left to maintain law and order. However, despite the usual deterrence, Tianjin still maintains peace and tranquility. Everyone is doing some business in an orderly manner.
But beneath the calm there is an undercurrent surging! There are already rumors circulating that some gangs in Linqing have discovered that the number of members of the He Gang is decreasing day by day, and they are already preparing to take action against the He Gang!
There are also rumors that Wu Ninghou will soon collect taxes in Tianjin City, and businesses of all sizes will have to pay heavy taxes! Even the street vendors charge one or two silver a month! As for other businesses, there are also hundreds or even thousands of taels! At this time, because Wu Ninghou needed a lot of money to raise his troops, he was now somewhat unable to make ends meet.
There is also a rumor that Wu Ninghou colluded with the eunuchs in the palace and planned to use the cover of the fiefdom to knock out the bones and suck out the marrow of Tianjin in order to bribe the people in the palace to prepare for future promotion to the title.
When the rumors first started to spread, ordinary people did not take them seriously. But as the rumors spread and many details were added, they became dubious! .
As the saying goes, three people make a tiger. When the details of the rumors became more and more real, and there were many people's seemingly real evidence, the people began to gradually believe that these things should be true, so they suddenly became worried. !
