Towards the northwest of Tang County, the surface slowly turned into a rugged one, and finally a large area of mountains and hills appeared.

The smoke of cooking rose in the camp, and the village was even more noisy, and it was almost noon, and it was time to make a fire. The return of the army, so many captures, should also be celebrated, dozens of pigs and sheep captured in the bandit villages were killed, and the soldiers let go of their stomachs and had a good meal. For the first time, the homeless people had a full meal, and they were given some broth, and there was laughter and laughter everywhere.

In the Juyi Hall, Han Chao and the pacification officer Huang Shibian, the pacification officer Li Jinpei, and Gao Shiyin ate at the same table, after eating and drinking, Han Chao took out his pipe, loaded some tobacco leaves, lit them with a fire fold, and took a comfortable sip, and everyone at the table also took out their pipes, swallowing clouds and spitting smoke.

Speaking of this tobacco, as early as the Apocalypse years, it was introduced from the south to Liaodong Town on the nine sides, and then it was quickly spread to several important military towns in the remnants. The special army often marched out to fight, ate and slept in the open, and the sergeants were prone to rheumatism and malaria, so tobacco was very popular in the army in the late Ming Dynasty.

The cultivation of tobacco in the Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen period has been widespread, especially in Junzhou and Xunyang Mansion in Hubei Province is the tobacco base, because the profit is far more lucrative than growing grain, so there are a lot of people who grow tobacco, Emperor Chongzhen strictly forbade several times, all of which have little effect.

Wang Dou believed that growing tobacco would greatly occupy farmland and reduce grain production, so he strictly forbade the cultivation of tobacco by military households under his rule, but did not prohibit the sale of tobacco.

In later generations, he himself was a smoker, at this time the Ming people smoked and called tobacco, many people put tobacco leaves in their mouths to chew, and some clever people smoked with paper or pipes. However, at this time, paper is precious, and the people are also respectful of paper as a god, especially the paper with words, if anyone uses paper cigarettes, they will be poked in the backbone in private.

After Wang Dou smoked cigarettes for a while, he also switched to pipes, and for a time Wang Doujun used pipes to smoke cigarettes, and no one put tobacco leaves to his mouth to eat.

Han Chao and Gao Shiyin are all smokers, and their pipes are also varied, long and short. After a while, Han Chao said slowly: "It's been a few months since I came out, and it's time to go back to Baozhou."

Huang Shibian, the pacification officer, said coldly: "Mr. Han Qian, the deserter Xu Yue'e has not been arrested yet, so do you want to go back?" ”

After receiving the news of Xu Yue'e from Han Chao, Wang Dou ordered Han Chao to arrest Xu Yue'e, and the horse thieves under her subordinates were either absorbed or exterminated depending on the situation.

Those displaced people were also brought back to Baoanzhou. ”

Gao Shiyin and the others glanced at it, 4,000 stone grain and rice can be eaten by an army of 5,000 people for a month, I don't know why the garrison wants to store grain here? Gao Shiyin and the others also knew that in the rest of Zhending Mansion and Baoding Mansion, the garrison also ordered to store grain, but did not explain the reason, which made everyone feel unfathomable.

Think about the garrison adults, always far-sighted, start the layout very early, and finally give everyone a surprise, Chongzhen's nine years of war is like this. Although Han Chao and Gao Shiyin were the first to follow Wang Dou, they couldn't guess what he was thinking.

Han Chao even wanted to store grain in Tang County in this line, could it be that this Zhending Mansion would soon succeed? And against whom? How can the garrison be sure that there will be war in the palace, does he have the ability to predict the future?

His mind was racing, but his mouth said: "The people left behind must be calm and reliable, everyone discuss, who of your subordinates is suitable?" ”

Everyone groaned, Gao Shiyin patted his leg and said with a smile: "Gao Xun, the officer of my subordinate, is very skilled, and he also works hard, so why don't you let him stay." ”

Inside and outside the camp, there were many Baozhou sergeants resting after dinner, and many of them sat and swallowed the fog, boasting to each other about the harvest of the bandits they had fought for several months, and calculating how much reward they could get after returning to the state. Among those who spoke loudly were the new soldiers who had been newly trained last year.

The three generals under Han Chao's command, in addition to the veterans under Huang Yujin and Gao Shiyin, most of the sergeants under Wu Zhengchun were newly trained recruits last year, and those soldiers were even more so. However, for several months, the blood and fire of the bandits went out to fight, and most of them became qualified fighters.

The thought of registering their exploits and seizures stimulated their belligerent spirits even more.

They laughed loudly, all of them had rough black skin, and behaved like veterans.

Gao Xun, the officer of the C team under Gao Shiyin, took a few of his guards to patrol around the camp camp, and some stewards were appointed according to the accent of the village, and some stewards were appointed according to the accent of the village, and some simple shacks were built consciously and unconsciously according to their respective village clans, and they were densely packed along the river.

These homeless people had just eaten a full meal and drank broth, and at this time, they were all gathered in groups to discuss, looking forward to their future lives. Seeing Gao Xun and a few people coming over with knives and guns, they all stood up in fear, all showing flattering and respectful expressions.

Some women saw Gao Xun, who was slender and handsome, and their eyes showed a look of intoxication, and Gao Xun passed by them as if they were blind. When passing by a nest of homeless people, Gao Xun suddenly heard a voice: "This adult, please stay." ”

Gao Xun turned his head, but a homeless man stopped him in a rough voice, he was stout, in his twenties, with a square face, quite fierce. It was the man surnamed Yang who was pumped by himself yesterday.

Gao Xun was also deeply impressed by this man, and he said lightly: "What do you want me to do?" ”

The man knelt down and hugged his fists and said: "The villain Yang Shiqi admires the heroism of adults, and hopes to serve in the army of adults." As he spoke, he looked straight at Gao Xun. The master glanced at him: "All of my security guards are heroes, are you qualified?" ”

Yang Shiqi said loudly: "The villain thinks that he is rough and strong, and he was also a first-class hero in the village back then, and he will not embarrass the adult." He shouted, "If you don't believe it, try your hand at the villain, and you'll know that what the villain says is true." He craned his neck, as if he thought that Gao Xun was extremely unconvinced that he was not qualified.

Gao Xun looked at him, his eyes flashed with appreciation, this man was unruly, but he was also a man, after smoking him yesterday, he could see everything in his eyes.

He was about to speak, but he saw a big man striding over and shouting: "Senior executives, Mr. Qian is looking for you." But it was a guard beside President Qian, Gao Xun glanced at Yang Shiqi meaningfully, and hurriedly followed the guard.
