Chapter 2 The word recognizes me and I don't recognize it
Qingshan Town, which is located in a remote area, used to be very peaceful, with few outsiders coming to their place.
But early this morning, hundreds of people appeared outside Qingshan Town. These people were all wearing straight-breasted dark blue tops and gray straight-leg military uniforms. Many people's military uniforms were obviously ill-fitting and looked baggy.
It's a group of bandits!
The leader, however, was a young man riding a Shayang horse, wearing a double-breasted coat with copper buttons and a golden peony on his collar. He looked handsome and mighty.
This group of people is none other than Lin Ziran and the others!
With so many people running into Qingshan Town, it naturally attracted the attention of everyone in Qingshan Town instantly.
The city gate of Qingshan Town was quickly closed, and soon several people appeared on the upper floor of the city gate, the leader of whom was still wearing official uniform.
Lin Ziran, who was outside the city, saw this scene and tapped the saddle lightly with his fingers. After a while, he waved to Luo Mazi and whispered a few words in his ear.
Luo Mazi nodded continuously and said words like 'yes' and 'obey'.
It seemed like a big scene, but in fact Lin Ziran didn't say anything, he just asked Luo Mazi to act according to the plan!
They had already discussed it yesterday. Since they were wearing this military uniform, they would make good use of this military uniform and pretend to be officers and soldiers who were going to go into the mountains to suppress bandits. They said they were passing through Qingshan Town and asked them to supply military supplies.
To this end, Lin Ziran also had people forge documents such as warrants and letters of appointment.
To put it bluntly, it’s a scam!
In fact, they can take it by force, but Qingshan Town is a town after all, and there are officers and soldiers in it.
Moreover, if a fight breaks out, their identities will be exposed, which will lead to an encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers.
Having just escaped from Pingdan County, Lin Ziran did not want to provoke the officers and soldiers from Lianguan County again.
So now you can cheat if you can, and if you really can't cheat, then consider resorting to violent means.
At this time, Luo Mazi also stepped forward with his short legs, but he did not dare to go too far. Instead, he summoned his full strength and said from a hundred meters away: "People in the city, listen, hurry up and open the city gate, be prepared."
Enough money and food to supply military needs!”
At this time, a middle-aged man in official uniform was heard shouting loudly from the top of the city: "I don't know where your troops are from, but do you have any seal documents?"
Luo Mazi looked back at Lin Ziran at this time, and Lin Ziran nodded, indicating that he should continue to act according to the plan.
Immediately Naluo Mazi said: "We are from the fifth patrol battalion, and we have been ordered to go into the mountains to suppress bandits. This is an order to collect military supplies from various places along the way!"
After saying that, he sent a soldier to deliver a letter.
The officers and soldiers at the top of the city did not dare to open the city gate directly. Instead, they used a hanging basket to hoist the letter up. Soon someone opened it and read it.
At this time, Lin Ziran had been staring at the few people on the top of the city.
They are fake soldiers, so naturally this warrant is also a forgery, and I don't know if they can hide it.
At the same time, on the top of the city, several people in official attire gathered together, and someone said: "Boss, is this letter true or false?"
The person holding the letter and opening it was a middle-aged man wearing a guard uniform. He said with a straight face, "I don't know if it's true or not. I recognize this character, but I don't recognize it!"
At this moment, another person took the letter and pretended to read it: "It's hard to say, it's hard to say!"
"Boss, look, there is a word 'five' on it, and just now they said they were from the Fifth Patrol Battalion. I thought that these words should mean the Fifth Patrol Battalion. There is another word 'five' here."
The word bandit, didn’t they mean to go into the mountains and suppress the bandits, that’s right!”
"Also, there is an official seal on it. Do you still remember that there was a big seal like this on the notice that wanted us?"
As soon as these words came out, others also stretched their heads to take a look: "Yes, I didn't pay attention just now, but there is indeed an official seal on it. It is the same as the official seal on the previous notice that the government wanted us, both are red!"
The middle-aged man wearing a guard uniform took the document again, looked at it carefully and nodded slightly: "It looks like it to me. In that case, they are really officers and soldiers of the Fifth Patrol Battalion!"
"What are these officers and soldiers doing here in a remote place like Qingshan Town when they have nothing to do!"
"Nonsense, didn't they just say that they were going into the mountains to suppress bandits? They were just passing through Qingshan Town and asked for money and food!"
"You need money and food, shall we give it?"
Before he finished speaking, someone else said: "Yes, here, the money and food are not ours anyway!"
At this time, the middle-aged man nodded and said: "If they come with a transfer order and we don't give them money or food, I'm afraid it will make them suspicious. If they know that my guard is fake, it will be a big trouble!"
Lin Ziran, who was outside the city, had been looking at the officials on the top of the city. Seeing them talking around, he was probably judging the authenticity of the documents and the authenticity of their identities.
I don’t know if this forged document can get through.
But soon, Lin Ziran no longer had to worry, because the officials on the city had already given the answer!
The middle-aged man at the head of the city said: "It turns out to be Mr. Lin from the Fifth Patrol Battalion. Wang Jinquan, the guard of Qingshan Town, Xiaguan, missed the meeting from afar. Please forgive me!"
At this time, Luo Mazi could no longer handle the conversation. Lin Ziran, who was riding a horse, stepped forward and said, "Well, now that we know everything, let's open the city gate. Our troops need to go into the city to rest!"
In the Daheng military system, military titles are divided into three levels and ten levels. The first level is Shangqing, the second level is Zhongdafu, the third level is corporal, and there are four levels of soldiers, namely sergeant, first and second level.
Third Class Private
Where Daheng was founded, four levels of government were established: state, county, county, and town. The garrison was the lowest-level local official.
Now Lin Ziran is pretending to be the battalion officer of the Fifth Patrol Battalion, and he is wearing the collar badge of a military noble. In terms of status, he is much higher than the guard. If he is too polite to them, it will arouse suspicion, so
Lin Ziran was pretending to be arrogant.
When Lin Ziran asked them to open the city gate, Wang Jinquan on the top of the city hesitated!
Someone immediately said: "We can't let them enter the city. If they enter the city, they will easily discover our flaws, and then we will be in big trouble!"
Wang Jinquan also knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately raised his hands to Lin Ziran outside the city and said: "I'm telling you, sir, our Qingshan Town is small and cannot accommodate a large army. Why don't we organize the people to send out money and food? Sir, what do you think?"
good?"
To Lin Ziran, these words seemed quite consistent with the situation of both parties. He knew what the other party was worried about, and it was nothing more than worrying about the crossing of the border by rioters.
Lin Ziran just said that he wanted to enter the city, but he actually said it deliberately to show that he and others were officers and soldiers.
It was so easy for him to let Lin Ziran enter the city, but he was still worried.
On the one hand, he was afraid of being exposed if he entered the city, and on the other hand, he was also worried about some kind of ambush.
Since the other party is willing to take the initiative to give out money and food, it is naturally the best thing.
but!
As a battalion officer and a dignified official, how could he be easily rejected by a mere guard.
Even if he, Lin Ziran, didn't care about the face, his fake battalion officer of the Fifth Patrol Battalion must care about the face.
He immediately snorted and nodded towards Luo Mazi!
At this moment, Luo Mazi quickly took two steps forward with his short legs, and heard him shout:
"What a courageous dog!"
"I asked you to open the city gate, open the city gate, what are you talking about!"
"A mere guard actually dares to act arrogantly in front of my family. Believe it or not, I can kill you with one shot!"
"Hurry, open the city gate immediately, otherwise don't blame the guns for being ruthless!"
What he said made everyone outside the city excited. Even Lin Ziran felt that if he was really a military officer, he would definitely do this.
However, Luo Mazi's words made Wang Jinquan and others on the top of the city feel worried.
Really let them enter the city?
Wang Jinquan and the others didn't dare. If they let the officers and soldiers enter the city, they would easily be exposed!
But won’t these officers and soldiers be allowed into the city?
Judging from the arrogance of these officers and soldiers, there is no guarantee that they will actually bombard Qingshan Town. Then it will be equally troublesome.
"Boss, why don't we let them enter the city? Anyway, they only want money and food, so just give it to them!"
"The money and food are not ours anyway."
"That is, these officers and soldiers are going into the mountains to suppress bandits. They cannot stay in Qingshan Town for too long. They will probably leave tomorrow!"
"When these officers and soldiers leave, we can continue to have fun here!"
"Yes, yes!"
Wang Jinquan didn't know what his subordinates were thinking. He was just afraid that the officers and soldiers would get really angry and attack them.
To be honest, not only the people under his command are afraid, but he, Wang Jinquan, is also afraid.
Immediately, he loudly said to the outside of the city: "My lord, please calm down. My lord, please calm down and I will open the city gate to welcome the army!"
But listening to the answers from the officials on the city wall, Lin Ziran frowned.
This Qingshan Town is not normal!
Through his original memory, he knew that these would be troubled times!
In troubled times, no matter whether it is bandits or soldiers, the ability to cause harm to the place is only eight liang in radius, and no one is worse than the other.
Normal local officials would not easily allow officers and soldiers, especially guest soldiers from out of town, to enter the city.
Once you do this, it is like letting a wolf into the sheepfold, and the consequences will be disastrous.
What Lin Ziran had predicted before was that although the people in Qingshan Town were concealed by him and suppressed by him using a false identity, at most they would only send more money and food to serve as military supplies.
However, the official of Qingshan Town was easily intimidated by him and allowed him and others to enter the city.
This is not normal!
Luo Mazi had returned to Lin Ziran at this time and said with a flattering smile: "The master's plan is indeed one of a kind. The people on the other side are probably scared to death, so they don't bother to check whether we are true or false!"
Lin Ziran was naturally too lazy to speak, but instead called a few of his men around him: "You guys go over and watch!"
It wasn't that Lin Ziran was suspicious, but that Qingshan Town's reaction was really weird. He asked Luo Mazi to shout a few words casually and pretend to be arrogant, just to make people like him look more like officers and soldiers.
But these people in Qingshan Town were directly frightened and agreed to open the city gate.
This had to make him suspect that there was a fraud in the city!
What if there is an ambush in the city gate? What if they wait for them to enter the city?
At this time, Luo Mazi, who was next to him, said again: "The master is cautious in his actions, and he is really like a king. I admire you. With the comprehensive arrangements made by the master, I understand that they can't turn things upside down!"
Lin Ziran doesn't even bother to look at him now!
This is not to say that Lin Ziran doesn't like to hear flattery, but Luo Mazi's level of flattery is really too low, which makes people feel very embarrassed!
Soon, the city gate was opened. First, two officers and soldiers wearing uniforms came out. Not long after, several people sent by Lin Ziran also cautiously stepped forward and entered the city.
The expected gunfire was fired, but the shouts did not appear. It didn't take long for several people he sent over to board the city, giving him a safety signal, and someone trotted back and reported: "The boss, inside the city
Everything is normal, the little ones didn’t notice any ambush!”
But these words still did not reassure Lin Ziran!
The officials in Qingshan Town are behaving very abnormally!
But after thinking about it for a while, I didn't find any problems. At this time, I could only say to the people around me: "Buck up, don't miss something!"
Then he ordered Luo Mazi: "You lead a group of people in first, control the city gate first, and guard the surrounding area!"
Since the officials in the city made an abnormal decision and opened the city gate, even if there was something abnormal inside, Lin Ziran decided to fake it.
He first sent people to control the city gates. Even if there was a scam in the city, as long as he controlled the city gates, he would be able to ensure a retreat. At worst, he would just lead the people and run away.
At this time, Luo Mazi said again: "The master is indeed a hero of the world. He has thought so carefully. Don't worry, master, I will personally monitor the officers and soldiers, and there will be no trouble!"
Lin Ziran looked at the sky and pretended not to hear.
