The ancient city of Puzhou is located in the east bank of the Yellow River at the southwest end of the mountain, about 150 kilometers away from the ancient city of Xi'an, it has 5,000 years of history and culture and 2,000 years of prosperity, it is one of the six major male cities in ancient China, Puzhou was called Puban in ancient times, "Imperial Century" cloud "Yao old are in Pu, Shundu Puban. "As early as the period of the tribal alliance, the area around Pusaka was the political, economic and cultural center of Chinese civilization.

Li Ming, Zhou Billy, and Song Tao were in a village on the outskirts of Puzhou at this time. The Central Plains Intelligence Station in Puzhou, as well as the Chaoyi on the other side of the Yellow River, invested a lot of power and controlled many Zhuangzi along both sides of the Yellow River. Of course, this is all relying on the obscenity of the Fu Wangfu and using various means to forcibly seize it.

The Central Plains Intelligence Station has set up several collection points for displaced people here, recruiting displaced people who have fled from Shanxi and Shaanxi, and it is also the largest collection point for displaced people in Shanxi in the Far East. A large number of second-line intelligence personnel trained by the Far East Intelligence Department, with the help of the strong financial resources of the Far East Commercial Bank and the support of the Fuwang Mansion, have basically mastered the nearby underworld business, at least in Henan all the way to Puzhou, the large and small gangs on the Yellow River waterway, and now only the Central Plains Intelligence Department is the leader.

and co-opted and controlled many local officials and local tyrants, so that the Central Plains Intelligence Station had a lot of energy in Puzhou. This is also the reason why Li Ming used this place as a meeting point with the Shanxi guerrilla detachment. At present, this Zhuangzi has become the temporary headquarters of the Shanxi guerrilla detachment.

While waiting for the arrival of the Shanxi guerrilla detachment, Li Ming, Zhou Bili, and Song Tao got together every day to study the concept of building the Shanxi guerrilla detachment.

"Now it seems that the idea of the Shanxi guerrilla detachment establishing a base area in Luliang Mountain can still be tried, after all, the Luliang Mountain area is also a famous old revolutionary base area. The main battlefield of the Red Army's Eastern Expedition and the location of the capital of the Jinsui Border District. It is very suitable for training and raising troops at the beginning of the formation of the Shanxi guerrilla detachment this year. The troops will be able to polish there for a year, and next year they will be able to go down the mountain to do errands.

It's just that now I'm worried that the eight traitors and Jin merchants who swept the Jinzhong Plain will be able to transport them back to the Hetao base area in the face of the huge amount of materials seized. The waterway of Fenshui is definitely not needed because of the spout. But so much material. We can't swagger along the official road of the Ming Dynasty, or rely on shoulders to carry people across Luliang Mountain. I think it's time for us to think about it. Li Ming lay on the map and said with a frown.

When Zhou Billy heard this, he nodded and said, "I will ask the Central Plains Intelligence Department to increase efforts to collect intelligence in the northwest of Shanxi." If this was really not possible, he mobilized the Mongolian militia brigade to go south with a large number of horses, and then used horses to carry supplies to Luliang Mountain to the Yellow River, and loaded them on ships at Wubao and transported them back to the Hetao base area. ”

Li Ming shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate, so that the movement will be too big, if the Ming court learns that thousands of Mongols have entered the palace." It's sure to make the chickens fly and the dogs jump. ”

Song Tao thought for a while and said: "Then simply transport the materials back to Henan from Fenshui and let the company support the Hetao base area." ”

"That's not good, just relying on the company to support the Hetao base area, the cost of transportation is too high, and it is not cost-effective."

Zhou Billy shook his head and denied Song Tao's opinion, and then said: "In fact, after sweeping away these traitors and Jin merchants, the materials needed in the Hetao base area are mainly grain. These eight traitors and Jin merchants in Shanxi, the most in their families should not be grain, but gold and silver. It is estimated that the gold and silver seized from them alone is an astronomical amount, and I have heard of it before. The silver vaults of these Jin merchants are full of "silver winter melons". It's easy to get the grain that can't be transported over, and we can get it from somewhere else, so let's think about how to transport these "silver winter melons" back. ”

Li Ming and Song Tao were happy to hear this, the silver treasury of these traitors and merchants must be indispensable for gold and silver.

"If the cost of transporting grain is too high, then it will simply be supported by the Shanxi guerrilla detachment. After all, they also need a large amount of food for military training in Luliang Mountain. Let's just grab the military leaders of the two military towns of Datong and Ningxia, these guys can't fight, but every household is not short of food, and I don't know how much to deduct every year just from military rations. ”

We're talking. An officer from the intelligence department ran in from outside and said to Zhou Billy: "Chief, we have to get the fleet." ”

When the three of them heard this, their faces showed surprise. Li Ming smiled and said, "Let's go and greet it......"

After Li Ming finished speaking, he went out of the house with Zhou Billy and Song Tao and came to a simple dock outside. This Zhuangzi did not collect the displaced people, but specifically to settle the Shanxi guerrilla detachment.

A large number of officers and men from the Far East jumped down from the river boats, and Wang Haiyang, the leader of the team, saw Li Ming and them coming from a distance, and immediately formed a queue to report to Li Ming.

Li Ming and Wang Haiyang shook hands cordially, and then asked the personnel of the Intelligence Department to lead the troops to Zhuangzi and settle down. Wang Haiyang and several squadron leaders followed Li Ming to the temporary headquarters of the Shanxi guerrilla detachment.

Wang Bo, Zhang Tiehammer and others were very excited when they saw Li Ming. It's really handsome, it seems that this time to Daming, it's the right one. From the time they came to Daming, they saw a large number of displaced people from Shanxi in the Far East at various collection points on both sides of the Yellow River.

Even if they were all from Dongjiang, they couldn't help but be stunned by the scene at that time. They know that with such a large number of displaced people, it means that the disaster in the north of the Ming Dynasty is definitely not small.

Li Ming waited for everyone to do a good job, and said to everyone with a smile: "Everyone has seen it all the way, this year, the entire northern provinces of Daming have not rained for a few months, and this year's drought is doomed." The reason why the Central Military Commission has mobilized you from far and wide is that it is ready to take advantage of the opportunity of the current drought in several provinces in northern Ming to establish a guerrilla detachment in Shanxi with you as the backbone.

Two days later, we will organize a caravan to go north to Jinzhong, you will collect the displaced people all the way, select the strong men from them, and then briefly train them, organize them to plunder several county seats, collect enough food and other materials, and then pull the troops into Luliang Mountain. You have to train me an elite army of thousands of people before next spring, and I will be of great use next year. ”

Wang Haiyang and the others listened to Li Ming's words, and immediately stood up, and said loudly with solemn faces: "Please rest assured, commander, to ensure that the task is completed." ”

Song Tao next to him suddenly said: "By the way, if you form a Shanxi guerrilla detachment, you can be regarded as planting a flag and rebelling in Daming." You are also the king of the mountain, and the leaders of the exile army in all parts of the Ming Dynasty have a name, like what Lao Huihui, Eight King Kong, King Chuang, Eight Kings, King Sweeping the Floor, Breaking the Sky or something, it sounds loud and loud. Aren't you going to have a more powerful name? ”

Wang Haiyang, Wang Bo, and Zhang Tiehammer glanced at each other, and they couldn't think of any suitable names for a while.

Song Tao said with a smile: "I'll give you a name, let's call it Optimus Prime!" (To be continued......)
