behind me is the earth.

Chapter 268. Chapter 266.

The conflict at the exit attracted Ren Pingsheng's attention.

"leader!"

The man in black robe looked towards this side, suddenly his eyes lit up, he waved his hand and shouted towards this side.

"It's Gu Annian, the station master of Hukou Station."

Xiaowan immediately recognized this person, and talked to Chen Dachui.

Chen Dachui beckoned, and the guards over there searched him, and then Gu Yinian came over. She ran over quickly, holding a telegram in her hand, and offered it to Xiao Wan with both hands, but said He Ren Pingsheng said: "Captain, the urgent report from Le County is about Dongyang County."

"Dongyang County?"

Ren Pingsheng took the telegram handed over by Xiao Wan, opened it and quickly scanned it, and said in surprise: "The plague of sea monsters is already so serious?

I remember the telegram I received a few days ago, it was still a small-scale harassment.They actually attacked the county seat of Yunmeng County today! "

Ren Pingsheng returned the telegram to Xiaowan.

Xiaowan took it in her hand, looked at it, frowned and said: "There are thousands of sea monsters, armed with knives and forks, like a group of people, bloodthirsty by nature, ignorant of human nature, ignorant of human language, only know about killing and plundering.

Moreover, after the sea monster landed this time, it directly fought against the officers and soldiers of the guard station. It did not go ashore in small groups like before, and immediately retreated into the sea after a while of looting. Instead, it besieged Yunmeng County, which seemed to be commanded and premeditated. "

"It seems that Dongyang County is in danger this time."

During the previous Battle of Yinshan, Dongyang County's military strength was basically exhausted. Today's Dongyang County officers and soldiers do not have any decent strength. Very limited.It is very difficult to resist such a brave and fearless sea monster.

However, Ren Pingsheng has interests in Dongyang County.Especially in Yunmeng County, with the help of Haishang Zheng, Qixing Company has already established a large number of properties here.

And the most important thing is that now Yuntai Guard maintains more than [-] soldiers, of which nearly one-third of the food is shipped in through Yunmeng County, the Zheng family's shipping terminal.

It can be said that Yunmeng County is a leg of Ren Pingsheng's food supply.

Now that this leg was about to be cut off, Yuntai County was of course eager, and the telegram was sent directly to the intelligence station in Hukou Town.

"In the future, the guard company will be equipped with a telegraph, so that it is convenient to receive important news when going out."

Ren Pingsheng and Chen Dachui said.

"it is good!"

Chen Dachui nodded and made a note, intending to settle the matter after returning.

"I sincerely say that you follow my order to immediately notify the news of the war in Dongyang County. Dongyang County is now in war, and the boats from Hukou Town Wharf to Dongyang County have stopped.

Anyone who plans to go to Dongyang County should think carefully. "

Ren Pingsheng said.

"Yes!"

Wu Jinyan didn't have time to say hello to his father Wu Qiong, so he immediately went down to give the news.

At this time, the two off-road vehicles in the rear compartment of the train had already driven down.As for those trucks, their drivers will drive to Hukou Town this afternoon.

After leaving the station, Ren Pingsheng got into the car immediately and went to the town office to stay.

"Which division is the closest to Yunlong County?"

Ren Pingsheng rubbed his eyebrows and asked.

"The closest to Yunlong County is the Third Division of Wuyang County, but the fastest to reach Yunlong County is the First Division of Qingcheng Town."

Xiaowan said.

Ruan Tang took out his mobile phone, and with a flick of his finger, the mobile phone was automatically connected to the large screen on the back of the front seat of the car, and a detailed hand-painted road network map of railways, cement roads, and official roads appeared: "Xiao Wan said That's right, take the train from Qingcheng Town to Hukou Town, and then take a boat from Hukou Wharf to go down the river to Yunmeng County. If they are delivered in batches, it will take at most two days.

If it is Wuyang County, it needs to pass through Xichuan County, which is hilly and difficult to walk. In addition, it will take at least four or five days for transportation. "

"The first division can't do it, you can't move lightly, you can dispatch a brigade in the first division.

To the north, Fengtai County and Wuyang County have stationed the Second Division and the Third Division respectively. Now that the Beiwan Group is in internal strife, there is no time for others. They can mobilize the Third Division to Dongyang County to quell the chaos of the sea monster.

The recruits of the Fourth Division in Le County have completed their training and can be dispatched to Wuyang County for stationing. "

Ren Pingsheng thought about it.

He has a bad relationship with Governor Wang Anguo. Wang Anguo trains the new army and wants to attack him, and he knows it well.Naturally, the first division stationed in Qingshui County cannot be easily transferred.

"I'm most worried about coming from the ocean. These sea monsters have already landed, and it may become very unsafe for those who go out to sea. If the sea food road is broken, we may have a food shortage before we complete the rotation of the good species. The problem.

People are iron and rice is steel, once there is a problem with food, it will be a big problem! "

Ren Pingsheng frowned, extremely worried about this.

The solution is also very simple, first launch a war to plunder.The second is that the poor people continue to raise the food and salaries collected.

However, these two items are contrary to his ruling philosophy of "endowing the people with the power of the monarch" and his propaganda all the time. They directly shake the foundation of his governance.

This leaves only the third option, which is to take Wuzhou Province into his hands.

"If there is really a problem with the sea grain road, the southward war must be brought forward and Wuzhou Province will be taken in one fell swoop. Fengqi County, Fuzhou County, Changguo County, and Qingzhou County in Wuzhou Province are all big grain-producing counties. Moreover, we haven’t experienced any major turmoil in these years, once we win, we can afford to expand our army by another [-].”

Ren Pingsheng thought silently in his heart.

When it was time to eat in the town office, Gu Annian at Hukou Station received the second telegram from Le County.

"The Dongyang County Government sent people to Le County to command the Si Yamen, and brought the official documents of the county government, asking the governor to send troops to rescue!"

When Ren Pingsheng heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

It's really sleepy to send the pillow, and this time he became famous.

It's easy to ask God to send God away, but once the Yuntai Guards are gone, they won't leave again!

"Send a telegram to Liu Qiang, instructing him to immediately prepare to send troops to rescue Dongyang County, instructing Qingcheng First Division to send a brigade to Yunmeng County for rescue today.

The whole army of the Third Division of Wuyang County was dispatched to Yunmeng County, and the Fourth Division of Le County was transferred to Wuyang.

Act now! "

Ren Pingsheng gave the order.

At the same time, after lunch, several electric trucks have arrived in Hukou Town.

The convoy set off again, heading for Le County.

When passing the Liusha River, Ruan Tang looked out of the window at the seemingly calm river, but in fact it was undercurrent and turbulent: "It's a pity that the bridge across the river has not been completed, otherwise the train can directly cross the Liusha River and reach Le County."

There are two bridges under construction in Liusha River, one of which is an arch bridge for driving; the other is a steel truss bridge for laying train tracks.

The construction of the arch bridge has already started, but the steel truss bridge is still under design. Ruan Tang is not an expert in this field, and he only has a little knowledge of bridge knowledge. The design of the bridge includes complex knowledge such as structural mechanics and civil engineering. At present, she is still studying and perfecting. It is not known how long it will take for the steel truss bridge to be completed.

While Ren Pingsheng was still on the road, Liu Qiang had already received a telegram from Hukou Town.

In fact, Liu Qiang knew the importance of Dongyang County to the lord. After learning about the chaos in Dongyang County, he had already judged that the war was about to start, and began to make quick adjustments. The entire command system of Yuntaiwei had already entered the preparation stage. status.

"Send a report to Baihu, immediately send a brigade, take the train, carry luggage, go to Yunmeng County, set off immediately!"

"Send a report to Zheng Fangxing to set off to support Yunmeng County, and set off immediately."

"Logistics, from Qingcheng Town and Le County to Hukou Town, and together to Yunmeng County. At the same time, according to the command of the governor, Dongyang County is responsible for the supply of food and grass consumed by the troops in Dongyang County."

Liu Qiang quickly issued the order.

Following the sending of telegrams, the troops in Qingcheng Town and Wuyang County quickly organized, assembled, and took action.

In particular, the first division and one brigade, as the vanguard, assembled very quickly. It is a veteran brigade of Yuntaiwei, with 4500 troops, consisting of three infantry regiments and one artillery battalion, and its combat effectiveness is very strong.

The equipment had been cleaned up that afternoon, and in the evening, the first batch of soldiers had already packed their bags, brought their guns and ammunition, and boarded the train to Hukou Town.

"Hurry up!"

Zhou Ming has been promoted from the chief instructor of the recruits to the commander of the 101st Brigade of the First Division. Standing on the train platform at this time, he watched the young soldiers trotting in line and quickly boarding the train.

After the soldiers sat down, they sorted out their equipment and looked at the train carriage curiously.

It was already dark outside, but the lights inside the carriage were brightly lit, illuminating the entire carriage.

Because it was opened to traffic on the first day, the number of trains was limited, and there were a total of three locomotives, one of which was originally used to pull goods.At this time, all have been mobilized to transport troops.

"Woo~~~"

While the siren was sounding, the soldiers waiting on the platform watched the train go away quickly. The light from the window looked long and mysterious from a distance.

"This time, the target we were ordered to fight is sea monsters! These sea monsters are all kinds of strange things, and these are the photos sent back by the brothers engaged in intelligence at the front!"

Inside the carriage, the company commanders and teachers of each company took out a stack of photos and asked the soldiers to quickly pass them on.

"Among these sea monsters, there are generally three types. One is a sea monster with a hard shell, strong defense, and great strength; the other is a fast sea monster with pincers, pincers, and thorns. There are monsters, some of which have toxins, which are difficult to deal with; one is a reptile crocodile sea monster, which is huge in size and has a strong bite force, making it difficult to deal with."

The company commanders introduced these sea monsters: "So, when we are on the battlefield, facing these sea monsters, we can no longer be too superstitious about the guns in our hands. Especially for those huge sea monsters, we may not be able to shoot them with a dozen shots. kill it.

Therefore, according to the combat strategy specified by the superior, this operation adopts a large corps to fight, with the regiment and battalion as the unit, and each unit cooperates closely with each other, and the infantry, cavalry and artillery cooperate closely!

No one is allowed to act without authorization, no one is allowed to leave the team, do you understand! "

"clear!!"

"Okay, very spirited!"

Zhou Ming was very happy to see that there was no fear in the eyes of the young soldiers when he checked each compartment, but only the determination when he was about to face the battlefield.

When the train arrived at Hukou Town, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and it was already dark.

Wu Jinyan was waiting here, and when he saw the big troops getting off the car, he quickly found Zhou Ming.

"According to my lord's arrangement, I have ordered people to prepare food and grass for the two ships. If there is no food and grass in Dongyang for a while, it can be used for emergency."

Wu Jinyan accompanied Zhou Ming and led the troops towards the Hukou Wharf.

"Thank you Mayor Wu."

Zhou Ming knew that Wu Jinyan was different from ordinary mayors. He was the lord's old friend and Wu Qiong's son, so he was very polite to him at this time.

"Brigade Commander Zhou is being polite. It's all about sharing the Lord's worries, which is what it should be."

Wu Jinyan said politely.

The Hukou Wharf is very close to the Hukou Town Railway Station, and the two of them arrived at the wharf without talking for a few words.

At this time, dozens of large ships had already been prepared in front of the pier.

Zhou Ming commanded the troops and boarded the ship one by one.

Just when Yuntai County mobilized troops to the front line, Dongyang County was already in crisis.In addition to a large number of sea monsters besieging Yunmeng County, many sea monsters also appeared in Daze County and Fuyang County.

Dawn, Fuyang County.

A group of people dressed as bodyguards were galloping along the official road beside the Liusha River.

"Boss, will we encounter sea monsters this time?"

Bai Chuchu was riding on a black horse. As soon as she pulled the rein, the horse quickly caught up with Si Nian, who was running at the front of the team, the heroic Si Nian in black robe.

"I wish I hadn't."

Si Nian looked away.

Now, she has rebuilt the tutelary mansion in Yuntai County, and even became the owner of the tutelary mansion, but she is very conflicted in her heart.

After staying by Ren Pingsheng's side for a while, she already understood that this man is not so peaceful.There is no reverence or loyalty towards the Dajing court.

However, he is also a good official who loves the people like a son.The people of the entire Yuntai County, under his governance, are thriving, better than before by more than 01:30.Most of the people in Qingshui County can eat enough and wear warmth, living a life that they have never lived in thousands of years ago!

Such a good and capable official was what she was looking forward to.

She didn't know whether she should choose to be loyal to the court or choose to obey Ren Dudu when she faced a choice in the future.

"Ah~"

She couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"alert!"

At this time, a young soldier who was running ahead on horseback suddenly shouted.

"Zijie, what did you hear?"

Si Nian asked quickly.

Li Zijie was originally the school lieutenant of Yuntai Town Guard Mansion.

After rebuilding the tutelary mansion, Si Nian called him back.This person is also a supernatural being, very similar to the supernatural power of Little Ears, but in addition to his hearing being far superior to ordinary people, he can also emit and hear high-frequency sound waves that some ordinary people cannot hear.

"About ten miles ahead, there is a very strange sound wave, probably from a sea monster! Sir, please wait a moment!"

Li Zijie said a word, pulled something out of the horse's back, jumped off the high-speed horseback, ran forward a few steps quickly and relieved his strength, and the whole person quickly climbed up like a nimble ape. One side of the mountain wall.

"Appreciate~"

Si Nian and the others pulled the reins and stopped on the official road.

Watching Li Zijie climb up the hill, he opened the umbrella-shaped object in his hand, pointed a metal needle on the concave surface to the east, and listened with his ears frowned on the umbrella.
