Chapter 130: Progress
In the barracks, the soldiers on the school field are practicing, Yu Wenwen is wearing armor and standing on the stage with the military master Chen Wudi standing on the stage with his hands in front of him, looking at the hot scene in front of him, practicing for three days and one day off, this has been implemented since the beginning of the new army.
"Envoy, hasn't the thief's lair been found yet?" Fifth Brother Chen asked, the soldiers of the new army took turns to go into the city to be on duty, which is a rare 'welfare', and following the lord of the building, Sima Yang Ji of the prefecture to go out to search the mountain, that is the welfare of the welfare, of course, Yuwen envoy's business is important.
"If you have characteristics, you can't run away, and you can find them along every road one by one." Yuwen Wen said confidently, he is afraid of the word serious in everything, and he asked Yang Ji to send people to walk through all the roads near the mountains on the border of Bazhou, and to conduct a carpet search in the most simple and rude way, not afraid of no results.
In order to prevent people from slacking off or doing things perfunctorily, he specially selected soldiers from the new army as the backbone to lead the search separately, and there were bounties announced everywhere in the state, and there was no fear that no one would 'lead the way'.
"It's winter, do the soldiers have enough bedding and winter clothes?" Yu Wenwen asked, seeing Fifth Brother Chen nodding, he turned around and stepped down and walked towards the camp, no matter how busy he was, no matter how tired he was, he had to find time to come to the barracks for a walk, this was his soldier, no one should think about overstepping his bounds.
Since the beginning of the year, Yu Wenwen has personally planned the construction of the barracks, and the site will never be flooded, and the barracks where the soldiers live are even more so, and it is rainy in the south of the Yangtze River, so the drainage of the barracks is also done very well, and the treatment of feces is taken into account.
The barracks, arsenals, grain depots and other warehouses are all brick structures, which can be described as 'exquisite materials', and even the outer walls of the barracks are brick-laid instead of wooden fences and rammed earth walls, and several major arrow towers are also brick-built to prevent fire attacks. It can be said that this barracks was renovated according to the specifications of the fortress.
"Commanding the Army!" One shout after another rang out. Yu Wenwen called him this as the soldiers he saw along the way. Although he already has a higher grade of the title of 'Envoy', he is still quite useful.
Nodding his head and signaling from time to time, the names of nearly three thousand soldiers were firmly remembered in his mind, but it was not enough to memorize them, he had to meet often to distinguish the appearance of the other party, this is the water drop stone that Yu Wenwen firmly believed.
There are beautiful wives and concubines in the family, but he will not forget his roots, there are no soldiers who can fight in these years, and any family business is a mirror, and if he is accidentally defeated, it is useless to have any family wealth.
He walked into a barracks at random to inspect the housekeeping, and he was quite satisfied, the barracks was made of bricks, two feet above the ground, which could prevent the bedding and mat from being easily soiled, and when the tide returned in spring, the mat would not be soaked in moisture and moldy.
"This year's Spring Festival has been spent in Bazhou. Are you ready for the New Year? "Yu Wenwen came to the treasury and asked, he took the new army to take office at the end of the year, because of the need for these soldiers to deal with the head snake, if the soldiers are sent home for the New Year, it is 'do not die'.
"Rest assured, whether it's food, meat, or anything else, you won't lose the soldiers." The owner of the building, Xiong Dali, said on the side, he is the person in charge of the inventory this time, in order to prevent the guards from stealing the warehouses in the barracks from time to time, they have to send people to inspect them from time to time, and now it is Xiong Dali who leads the soldiers in the building to be responsible.
"Also, those new recruits should move around more, so as not to make them feel left out."
From the Battle of Lianghekou to the fierce battles under Gangneung Fortress, the new army took in nearly 500 prisoners. Some of them are from Jiangnan, some are from Guanzhong, although they have joined the army without any concern, but after all, they are far away from their homeland, and it is inevitable that homesickness will be overflowing when they reach the New Year.
"I miss my family every festive season. If there is not enough people to write the letter, the official will be transferred from the state government, and the pen fee will be paid the same. "Yu Wenwen knows the truth that family letters are worth 10,000 dollars, so he has always attached great importance to the needs of soldiers to write letters home to report safety.
Because there is no holiday, Yuwenwen also launched a new benefit: sending New Year's goods home. His mansion in Anlu became a purchasing point for soldiers' New Year's goods, and the Bazhou military camp was responsible for counting the needs of each soldier and then sending them to Anlu so that the purchase would avoid many inconveniences of long-distance transportation, and of course the cost had to be deducted from the military salary.
The soldiers of the same state and the same township elected representatives to return to Anlu with family letters, and brought back the New Year's goods, money and family letters of their fellow villagers and distributed them to each household, and then brought the reply letters, of course, this also had to be assisted by the officials of the prefectures and counties, so there was no need for errand fees, but this was nothing to Yu Wenwen, because the problem that could be solved with money was not a problem.
After walking around, Yu Wenwen was very satisfied with the current situation, and when he was talking with the generals, a soldier suddenly came to spread the rumor that Zheng Zhubo sent someone to the barracks to spread the news, and after completing some formalities to let people in, he learned that the thief villa where Zhang Li was detained had been found......
State prison, Yu Wenwen got out of the carriage and hurriedly walked inside, the lord Bo Zhengtong had been waiting for a long time, led him to a cell and tried to say the matter in concise words:
After several days of searching, the villa where Zhang and Li were detaining was found, and twenty miles to the east of the official road where Zhang and Li had been riding that day broke down, just as they had speculated before, the carriage had indeed turned around and gone in the opposite direction.
When the villa was found, its appearance did change: the gate and walls were painted in a different color, and the two most obvious places were changed so that when the state government sent people to search for it, they passed in front of the door and could not confirm that it was the thief's den that Zhang Li said.
"It's a shame to ask the clue that you are going downhill and making a left turn to reach the villa, otherwise you really don't have a clue." Zheng Tong said quite happily, "When the state soldiers who took the lead in exploring the way saw this Zhuangzi, they sent someone to inform the others to stay and keep an eye on it, and Yang Sima led the people to arrive and rushed in directly. ”
Zheng Tong said that at that time, the villa was empty, and it seemed that the people in the villa were in a hurry, and even many valuable things were left untouched.
However, it is always good to find a place, and after interrogating the people of the surrounding villages, he learned that there were carriages frequently entering and leaving this villa a few days ago, so he judged that it was a thief who learned of the news and hurriedly transferred the servants so as not to fall into the hands of the government.
"Yang Sima is now stationed in the villa with people, saying that he wants to scrape the ground, and he has to find clues."
Yuwen Wen heard the other party say this, thought for a moment, and asked Yang Ji how many people were in the villa, Zheng Tong said about fifty people, Yuwen Wen heard that it was not enough, so it was not safe, in case the thieves fought back, it would be dangerous.
"Zhang Yu, you take someone to find Ren Changshi with the official token, and transfer a hundred state soldiers with bows, arrows, knives and guns to support Yang Sima!"
Seeing Zhang Yu leaving in a hurry, Yuwenwen asked Zheng Tong if he didn't say that he hadn't caught anyone, why he was notified to come to the state prison, Zheng Tong said that he hadn't been caught, but someone said that it was the servant in the villa, and he wanted to sue the official when he saw that there was a reward.
"It's such a coincidence that you meet a pillow when you are sleepy?" Yu Wenwen stopped and asked, he didn't think he was lucky, "Since that person is working in the villa, how does he know that the state government is outside to offer a reward?" ”
"Also, the thief is supposed to be running away with all the servants, how can he leak people?"
"Zheng Zhubo, could it be that you are eager to solve the case?"
Zheng Tong hurriedly explained that the other party said that he was out to buy, so he got the news, and seeing that the director of the villa was a little helpless, thinking that it would be over sooner or later, he secretly kept his eyes on it, and found an opportunity to slip away, and later saw that the government had come to the door, so he simply came out for the reward.
"Yes, then you have to seriously prepare the questions to be asked before you go to trial, if that person dares to lie, then the official will let him know what it is to kill himself!" (To be continued.) )
