Wu Shigong went to Yangzhou this time and brought all the 200 guards and soldiers with him. Yuan Xingshan will also go with five guys from Sihai Trading Company. These days, Yuan Xingshan is purchasing some goods to make makeup with Wu Shigong and others.

Become a caravan and go to Yangzhou.

Yang Rusong, the leader of the Guards, also returned to the army after his vacation. But what surprised Wu Shigong was that Yang Rusong's right eye was beaten like a panda eye. This made Wu Shigong very strange, why did he come to Quanwuxing for a blind date?

Woolen cloth?

But no matter how he asked about the reason for Yang Rusong's injury, Yang Rusong always hesitated and refused to tell. But Yang Rusong refused to say, because those brats from the Guards Corps were neighbors with Yang Goudan's family, so they all knew it.

reason.

After some inquiries from Bao Wending and Shu Mo, Shu Mo explained the reason to Wu Shigong with excitement. It turned out that Yang Rusong's blind date went very smoothly. However, that day after Wu Shigong promised to give Yang Goudan an official status, Yang Goudan unexpectedly

I really treat myself as an official.

After Yang Goudan returned home, he told his wife: If you want to be an official, you have to be dignified, and you have to marry several concubines to meet the status of an official. After that, everyone can imagine the reaction of Yang Goudan's wife.

come out,

But just when Yang Goudan's wife was chasing Yang Goudan with her special weapon-the rolling pin, Yang Rusong happened to return home from vacation. Seeing his mother beating his father again, Yang Rusong must have persuaded her.

In this way, Yang Rusong was accidentally injured.

It was this kind of nonsense again. Wu Shigong was already immune to the matter of Yang Goudan and his wife. He called Yang Rusong over, who was a little embarrassed, and said: "Go and tell your father, just say that you are my official

As I said, if your father wants to marry a concubine, your mother must give her nod. You should also go and persuade your mother. It is always inevitable to have a companion at home, but you should not be too quick to wield a knife or a stick.

Your father is a decent person."

Yang Rusong immediately agreed happily because Wu Shigong's instructions were obviously biased towards his mother.

Because Wu Shigong didn't want to leave Runing Mansion for too long, so this time Wu Shigong went to Yangzhou and returned quickly. Wu Shigong arranged it like this: He rode overland to Yangzhou and spent one or two days with the Lu family.

After the matter was settled, we took a boat back to Jining, and then returned to Runing Mansion by land.

Therefore, the goods purchased by Yuan Xingshan should not be too heavy. However, Wu Shigong was a guard of Runing Mansion and could not leave Runing Mansion without an order from the court. In order to conceal Wu Shigong's identity, and because there were more than 200 caravans

, the goods Yuan Xingshan purchased should not be too cheap, so Yuan Xingshan mainly purchased light and valuable goods like Song embroidery.

After learning that Wu Shigong was going to Yangzhou, Xue Zhinong of the Shanchuan Division also brought ten members of the action team to Wu Shigong and asked them to set out with Wu Shigong to protect Wu Shigong. Wu Shigong also wanted to see the abilities of the action team members.

, therefore, he agreed to Xue Zhinong.

When Xue Zhinong sent the members of the action team over, Wu Shigong asked again about the situation of the Shanchuan Division in detail. At the end, Wu Shigong said: "Zhinong, there is one more thing you should pay attention to for my uncle. Then go to King Qin.

On the way, you must find out the whereabouts of the escaped soldiers. If possible, your action team must kill them and their whole families. If it is difficult, you can also report to Uncle Yongli and ask him to send some troops.

Cooperate with you."

"Also, your business needs to recruit more people. If there are some people in the business that you think are good, they can also be absorbed into us. You can decide how to do it. I want to send you to the escort business in the future.

The affairs of the team will also be left to your fighting bank to handle. With this serious bank as a cover, the goal of your fighting bank will not be so obvious."

"Since your Mountain and River Department has the word "mountain and river", you must also hurry up and draw maps of various places. For those outside the city, topographic maps must be drawn, and for those in the city, detailed maps must be drawn. It is best to mark the location of each house clearly.

"

"The training of the action team should not be like training soldiers. After all, they are not scouts. The location of their activities is usually in the city. So how to train them, you have to come up with some methods yourself."

At that time, those defecting soldiers all fled the area controlled by Wu Shigong. When Wu Shigong came back and wanted to deal with them, they could not be found for a while. Now Wu Shigong asked Xue Zhinong to find those defecting soldiers, and he also knew about this

The matter was somewhat difficult. However, after the death order was issued, it always showed Wu Shigong's attitude towards the defecting soldiers.

As for the arrangement of the escort agency, it was because there was no escort agency in the Ming Dynasty at that time, and the escort agency was actually responsible for the work of the escort agency. After Wu Shigong asked his escort agency to take on the task of escorting the caravan, in the eyes of outsiders, the escort agency

It is no different from other raiding companies. Moreover, Wu Shigong's own soldiers can also be freed from the task of escorting the caravan.

Wu Shigong also inspected the training of the action team. Xue Zhinong had little experience in action team training, so the members of the action team were basically selected according to the standards of the scouts, and the training content was also based on the training content of the scouts.

But Wu Shigong does not need a group of scouts anymore, because we already know that the scouts at that time were all cavalry. If the message was detected and then relied on human feet to deliver the message, the message would often be ineffective, so it would not be of much use.

.

Wu Shigong needed those action teams to carry out tasks such as assassinations and surveillance in various cities. Therefore, Xue Zhinong's training methods needed to be modified.

But having said that, Xue Zhinong has made Shanchuan Division look good in such a short period of time, which makes Wu Shigong quite satisfied. As for how to do better, this needs to be explored together in the future.

After Yuan Xingshan prepared the goods and Zhang Xuebin obtained some leads through his connections in Runing Mansion, Wu Shigong took this group of people and officially set off to Yangzhou.

Wu Shigong and the others did not carry long weapons with them. However, they all wore soft armor and brought out all the forty or so muskets in the army. They also hid a dozen guns in the cart loaded with goods.

pistol.

On the way down to Yangzhou, because the caravan was so large and they were walking in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, they did not encounter any accidents and arrived at Yangzhou City ten days later. However, the rapid march along the way

, making everyone exhausted.

At the Lu family in Yangzhou, two brothers, Lu Jianyin and Lu Jianchen, were discussing. Lu Jianchen said, "Brother, is it appropriate to drag Wu Shoubei into this matter this time?"

Lu Jianyin gritted his teeth and replied: "Brother, I am really unwilling to give in. If our Lu family's salt products cannot be sold, the Qi family will follow the rules and take our salt and pay it back. But the Qi family colluded with the salt

Yun Envoy robbed our Lu family's Yanyin alive, I can't bear to feel like this."

After hearing what his eldest brother Lu Jianyin said, Lu Jianchen asked with some worry: "I heard that the Qi family accepted the salt from our Lu family. It was the salt transport envoy who was behind to support their family? Brother, and them

When the government goes to fight, will it be worth it or not?"

Lu Jianyin waved his hand very decisively and said: "There is nothing good or bad. Our Lu family has been taken over by the salt transporters, and we can no longer be salt merchants. We will never deal with the salt transport envoys again. Then the Qi family will also bully us."

The people are so outrageous that they took our salt and used some of the money from the beggars to buy our salt farm. I have also inquired about it, and now the Qi family has basically gathered all the subordinate families in our territory.

That is to say, Wu Shoubei and the Qi family cannot deal with him."

"I have also learned about Wu Shoubei's background. He is backed by two princes. If he comes forward, maybe the salt transport envoy will keep our Lu family's qualifications as a salt merchant for the sake of the two princes.

.Although the salt supply is definitely less, it is still better than those who cannot be a salt merchant. If it still doesn't work, the salt from our salt farm cannot be sold because there is no salt supply, so it is not a big deal to give it to Wu Shoubei.

"

After hearing Lu Jianyin's reasons, Lu Jianchen nodded. At this moment, the housekeeper at the door came in and reported: "Two gentlemen, Mr. Wu from Henan has arrived at the gate of Yangzhou City, and Xiao Wuzi is already in the city.
