163,

Pull out the thorn in the side, and get the whereabouts of the thorn in the flesh,
Looking at the mayor of Barry whose limbs and joints were removed by Hei Sande with special techniques, Dai Pingan felt that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief temporarily, but the price of his sudden relaxation was that he hadn't walked out of the winding Pike Basin. Immediately snored.

When he woke up from the Black Duck Church again, it was already noon the next day, and in just one morning, the Armadillo Town before him had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The arrival of a wagon means that one, two or more tents will be erected.

When Dai Pingan, who was awake, stood on the roof of the church and looked towards the west with a telescope, the surrounding area of ​​Armadillo Town was surrounded by newly built tents, which far exceeded the original scope of the town.

Seen from a distance, Armadillo Town at this time is like a huge silk cocoon, submerging the remains of the burned town in the center, and like a spider web that is constantly extending around, entangled both its prey and itself.

Different from the simple lean-tos and small tents built by local residents for temporary living, these covered lean-tos and large tents that have sprung up like mushrooms not only occupy a large area, but also have complete functions.

In order to better sell their products, shrewd merchants even used their tents to line up a busy market out of thin air in the south of the town in one morning.

The market is full of people, noisy, full of goods, rich goods, providing sufficient material guarantee for the residents of Armadillo Town who have been starving for several days, as well as the helpless gold diggers.If it weren't for the ubiquitous Armadillo town police and militiamen wearing "dollar" armbands around the market to maintain order, some people would even regard this as a large gathering to celebrate some kind of festival.

In the market, the sheriff of Armadillo Town, who holds a large amount of gold ore in his hands, Mr. Hartman became the most welcome guest of these vendors. He purchased a large amount of living materials for the remaining residents of Armadillo Town to rebuild their lives.

On the contrary, it is the many gold diggers who have gloomy faces no matter where they go.

On the top of the hanging cliff, when the construction site of the "gold mine" was excavated, Dai Pingan had someone install a sufficient amount of engineering explosives. When he left, he not only destroyed the alpine tunnel that had been dug halfway deep, but also destroyed the tunnel connecting the tunnel and the tunnel. Wooden bridges between the grounds were all set ablaze.

Last night, they found the half-built railway project along the track of the railway, and also found traces of tunnel excavation, but facing the tens of meters high cliff, they could only sigh in despair and go back home.

They are experienced gold diggers,
In the knee-high river, you can sift out the golden sand the size of a grain of rice from a handful of yellow mud;
It is also possible to unearth stones with hidden golden light in the dark caves and messy ores;

But even if they can re-excavate the hole, it is impossible to re-build a bridge in just a few days, extending from the ground to the tunnel tens of meters above the ground on the cliff.

I see it, but I can't touch it, I want to leave, but I can't forget it.

So from the morning, the large shack built by several bootleggers became a gathering place for some gold diggers.

"How many people are here now?"

Back at the church, everyone was already waiting there.Although Lester is not a qualified manager or gangster, he is a qualified clerk. He flipped through the books in his hand:

"As of ten o'clock this morning, 370 people have entered Armadillo Town."

"Except for the four people who refused to accept the inspection and were killed in the morning, we have issued 360 permits, with a total income of 430 US dollars."

"Adding two dollars for small tents and four dollars for large tents, we currently earn a total of 980 dollars. And as more and more people arrive, I believe this number will continue to grow."

"so much?"

Before the words were finished, Bill, who had returned from the McFarlane Ranch, exclaimed, and the shock on the faces of the others could not be concealed.

They used to think that the toll price of one dollar per person was a bit low, but they didn't expect to earn so much if they add up.It took only one day and one night to harvest two gold bricks worth of dollars, which was faster than they robbed a bank. What was even more frightening was that this amount was still increasing every moment.

"It's not nearly enough."

After a long-lost sleep, Dai Pingan didn't feel that his mind was sober, so he drank the black coffee he had prepared in one gulp.The coffee powder was also just bought from the vendor this morning. Add more coffee, no milk sugar, yellow lotus-like taste, ash-like taste, bitter and disgusting, but also make his nerves active.

"The money received is not the problem, the problem is that we need more men, more tents in Armadillo Town. Major Milton,"

"To!"

The military-style major stood up immediately.

"Mr. Major, your next job is very important. I need you to establish a concept in people's minds: that is, on this land in New Austin, only the independent regiment established by our interim government has the qualifications and rights to enforce the law." , to punish criminals. Even the police in Armadillo Town have the power to maintain order in Armadillo Town and arrest criminals only after joining the Independence Regiment."

"The independent regiment of the New Austin Provisional Government is the only legal institution on this land! Before the government or other forces intervene, I want to let this concept be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and let everyone appear in the activities of Armadillo Town People keep that in mind."

"I don't care what you did in the past, but from now on, in front of outsiders, you must think about the excuses and excuses for doing it. Even if it is murder and arson, you must do it well and cleanly. If you really can't handle it , then leave the matter to Mr. Iscola, and let him take the Howling Wolf Gang outside to solve it."

"Yes!"

Major Milton sat down, and Dai Pingan turned his attention to Sergeant Hartman who stood up later.

"Mr. Sheriff, the order and safety of Armadillo Town are entrusted to you. No matter how many people come, you must ensure that there will be no chaos and accidents in Armadillo Town. There will be more people coming here in the future, and there will inevitably be Some bastards like thieves and liars. If you are obedient, you will lock them up, and if you are dishonest, you will kill them at the beginning, showing our strict attitude of cracking down."

"I know you are short of manpower. You can choose suitable recruits from local residents or new cowboys. The more people involved, the safer our secrets will be. In addition, mobilize the residents in the town and let them keep an eye on these Newcomers, report anything suspicious immediately."

"Also, find some time-killing things for those energetic and idle idiots to do. This matter is also handed over to the original residents. I will find someone else to help you. Remember, more money is less money It doesn't matter, the key is to keep people on this land."

Speaking of this, Dai Pingan remembered another thing:
"What's the situation on the other side of the Hanging Cliff? Has no one figured out a solution yet?"

"Not yet," Sheriff Hartman shook his head

"I heard that two people climbed up the hanging cliff with bare hands in the morning, but they fell down and died. So far, there are still people guarding at the bottom of the cliff, but no one has come up with a way to climb up."

"Trouble!" Dai Pingan couldn't help but sighed.

Although the rough gold mine in the hands of Sheriff Hartman has appeared, it is only evidence after all, and more people are watching from afar.If the "gold mine" in the Hanging Cliff Tunnel is not seen by people for a day, their doubts will not be stable, and Dai Ping'an is not at ease:

"Okay, give them another day. If none of those idiots have figured out how to continue digging gold mines by this time tomorrow, Mr. Sheriff, please find an opportunity to recommend Li Jiayuan to them."

"Li Jiayuan, remember your identity when you come forward to talk to them. You are not looking for a job for the Chinese workers in the camp, but to help them solve their problems as a member of the temporary independent group. It is to help them, not less Not a single penny less.”

"The cost of employment cannot be lower than the price of the Pacific Railway Company. One or two companies alone will definitely not be able to afford this money. All those who are interested in gold mines must be united and jointly funded. Let them understand one thing, If the wooden bridge is not repaired, they will never see the gold mine."

"There should be no problem at the camp. They built the wooden bridge in the first place, and they are familiar with the process of building it again. Let them hurry up."

If it wasn't for the fact that the flowers of hell in the depths of the tunnel need to bloom in front of everyone to attract more people, and by the way help the Chinese laborers who have not worked in the camp for a long time to find a job, Dai Pingan would not have helped the gold diggers who are at a loss outside. Make suggestions.

In his eyes, those wastes who want to take shortcuts and get rich overnight, but put their heads on the wine table after encountering some setbacks, are the candidates that Armadillo Town needs most.This kind of success is insufficient, and there is more than failure. The more waste that throws a bone and follows them, the safer they will be after other forces enter, and the easier it is for his plan to block the sky to be realized.

After the important matters were arranged, everyone left one after another. Dai Ping'an just wanted to find something to cushion his stomach, but was told that under the treatment of Huang Feihong and his apprentice, the Mayor Barry brought back was still in a coma. But Yan Xiaoguo, who had been in a coma for two days and two nights, had already woken up.

At dawn, Yan Xiaoguo woke up.

Surprisingly, he was neither in a hurry to rescue any princess, nor contacted his officials, but locked himself in the church room and never came out.

Hei Erqing, who was worried about the situation inside, notified Dai Pingan after staying the whole morning without eating or drinking from early morning to afternoon.

Dai Pingan held two plates of soup stewed from canned beef, and directly pushed open the unlocked door with his feet.This is his place, Hei Erqing dare not disobey Yan Xiaoguo's order, but he doesn't care.

Like the coffee powder above, canned beef is also a material they bought from vendors.After the original cooked beef was reheated, the firm meat was stewed until it was tender, and the rich aroma began to permeate the room even before people entered.

To Dai Pingan's surprise, Yan Xiaoguo, who was alone in the room, didn't worry, didn't sit still, and didn't do anything beyond his imagination, but wrote furiously on a large piece of paper.When Dai Pingan came in with beef soup, Yan Xiaoguo just finished the last stroke.

Leaning in, a map of New Austin appeared on the paper.Not only are the mountains, rivers, and traffic arteries of the four areas within New Austin clearly marked on it, but even some hidden strongholds in uninhabited areas are clearly marked.

"How do you know this?"

Dai Ping'an was very surprised, because this is a professional map that only the military may have. Even Barry Burton, who has been the mayor of Armadillo Town for more than ten years, may not have seen this thing. The whole of New Austin, I'm afraid It is only kept in Colonel Beckett's office.

Although there are no contour lines drawn on the map, all the necessary details are marked in small Chinese characters.With this military map, although it is impossible to realize remote teleportation in the game, the effort spent on exploring the road can be greatly omitted.Where is suitable for ambush and where is conducive to surprise attack, these important topography and landforms are clearly displayed on this map, which not only reduces the probability of getting lost, but also reduces the risk of being plotted.

"Hmph, you underestimated the methods of the imperial court," Yan Xiaoguo, who had received the beef soup and hadn't sticky to his teeth for several days, gulped it down:

"Since I want to bring people here, how could I not make sufficient preparations in advance."

"Then it's impossible to draw in such detail. How did your brain grow so clearly that you can remember it so clearly?"

Dai Pingan was so surprised that he even forgot to drink the soup, and lay down on the table carefully looking at the wet map.

Yan Xiaoguo's trick is undeniably admirable. Dai Ping'an is not only amazed by a country's underlying strength, but also admires Yan Xiaoguo's extraordinary memory.You must know that this is not as simple as writing a few articles silently, but directly redrawing a map, it is simply a living humanoid printer.

"The drawing of maps is the basic ability for us to march and fight as generals. If we can't even draw this, I will be sorry for the court's careful cultivation for more than ten years."

The finger that was about to touch stopped in the air, and Dai Pingan straightened up, and picked up the broth on the side again to eat and drink.

For a while, neither of them spoke, only the sound of chewing and swallowing remained in the room.But no matter how much beef soup is on the plate, it will be finished eventually.After Yan Xiaoguo finished the last sip of thick soup on the plate, Dai Pingan, who had been waiting for a long time, finally said:

"It's useless to say more, Lord Yan, you know the situation outside, I can't give up halfway, terminate the plan at a critical moment, and help you save the so-called princess."

"The map is for you."

"Master Yan..."

"Please listen to me. I know you are currently planning a big plan. Hei Erqing doesn't say much about it, but I can make a rough guess. Although your plan is bold, it is too dangerous. Shen may lose all his previous efforts and suffer a crushing defeat."

"As long as you promise to help me rescue the princess,"

Speaking of this, Yan Xiaoguo paused:
"As long as you promise to help me and prevent the princess from falling into the hands of foreigners, I will help you make up for what is most lacking in your plan."

"what?"

"loyalty!"

"Including me, the loyalty of 63 Daqing athletes!"
