Chapter 968 Temporary Worker of the Intelligence Bureau
Huang Ande felt that he was not used to the clothes on his body, and the heavy bun on his head made him uncomfortable. The hair on his head was covered in the sun so that beads of sweat fell down the hair tips.

How can it be so refreshing to be in the army to trim your position.Huang Ande couldn't help but miss the time when he was a soldier in the Fubo Army. In summer, not only his hair was cut clean, but the clothes on his body were also made of cotton and linen blend, which was breathable, sweat-absorbing and easy to dry. It was much more comfortable than this thick homespun gown. up.

Both Huang Ande and Huang Xiong were soldiers from the Shandong battalion, and the two of them were related, they were cousins ​​who were born in Wufu.However, Huang Xiong came to Qizhen later, and got mixed up with a small officer, while Huang Ande remained in Shandong as a bastard, until one day he and his partner stole the official warehouse and escaped.

Because stealing is disgraceful, Huang Ande kept silent about it until the Political Security Bureau conducted an in-depth review when Huang Ande was promoted to an officer.At that time, it was also found out that he was in Dengzhou when he was a soldier.

Because of this relationship, Huang Ande was not only transferred to the northward detachment, but also, like Huang Xiong, the first batch to enter the advance team.His current identity is Lu Wenyuan's personal follower.

After Zhao and Lu got through with Sun Yuanhua, they used the Jesuits to actively participate in the activities of the Shandong church, and soon became acquainted with the local church.Considerable freedom of movement and support is gained.Act now.

Because Huang Ande is a local, he received special training from the Navy Intelligence Commissioner of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau before departure. As a temporary worker of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, he was assigned to activities in Dengzhou City to find out the local situation.In particular, try to understand the local garrison situation.This is the intelligence that the engine operation command most wants to know at present.

In the instructions issued to him, Li Ke also clearly hoped that he would get the military garrison situation in Penglai Shuicheng and the specific locations of the yamen, barracks, and forts inside the Shuicheng.Although the Great Library gave permission to obtain as much information as possible, it is still necessary to obtain first-hand information about what the interior of the water city in the Ming Dynasty looked like.

Right now, he is wandering outside Penglai Water City.This water city is located on the east side of Danya Mountain in the northwest of Dengzhou City.In the Song Dynasty, the saber fish was patrolled and inspected, and the saber fish was parked for battle, and the Khitan was prepared, so it was named the saber fish village.The water city was built in the ninth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty. The water gate was built in the north and the Zhenyang gate was built in the south.In the 24th year of Wanli (1596), the earth city was built with bricks and stones.During the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, once practiced the navy here to control the soldiers and horses of Dengzhou and Dongjiang towns.It has more than 5 water and army troops, equipped with advanced artillery and a large number of warships.Yuan Keli once described it in his memorandum: "When the boats and boats meet each other, the slave chieftains are terrified."Dongjiang Town's long-term persistence in Houjin's side is inseparable from Penglai Water City's strong backing support.

Due to the war in Liaodong, successive governors of Denglai have carefully managed this place.In addition, a large number of supply troops transported to Liaodong needed to be collected and distributed here, and the official and trade exchanges between North Korea and Ming Dynasty also passed through this place, so merchants gathered here, forming a prosperous scene.At that time, the Koreans crossed the sea here, and recorded the prosperity and rectification scene of "the place where you can look from the top of the peak, set up Yandun one by one. The farmland and farm screens are facing each other everywhere. The number of merchant ships and warships moored near the shore is unknown."

In Penglai Water City, there are more than 8000 people stationed in the navy alone.There are also folkmen and craftsmen who repair the water city, shipwrights who build and repair ships, and blacksmiths recruited from all over the country to cast cannons. Tens of thousands of people who can get some fixed income every month gather here, making Penglai Water City Zhenyang outside the gate. A considerable-scale city street has been formed, with shops and vendors gathering, and various businesses are thriving.The cries of selling are endless.

He sat at the tea stand by the roadside, ordered a pot of tea, and drank it slowly with his legs crossed, looking at the Penglai Pavilion on the top of Danya Mountain from time to time.Pretend to be excited.Huang Ande knew that he was a "spy" right now, but he wasn't too scared: after all, he was different from the veterans, and he was easy to be exposed when he opened his mouth. Although there is no one in his family anymore, there are still many local clan relatives, most of whom are soldiers in the army.It is not a problem to find an acquaintance to mix into the water city.

However, there were quite a few soldiers wearing uniforms coming and going on the streets, but he didn't know many of them. Although some of them looked familiar, some of them couldn't call out their names, so they didn't dare to go up to greet them rashly.He was "running away with guilt" back then, so he had to be inquired first by a reliable person, otherwise he would be tied up to the navy's yamen, and when Mr. Zhao fished him out with Sun Yuanhua's film, he would have suffered a lot. Not a lot.

Just as he was staring blankly, Huang Ande suddenly felt someone pat him on the back. When he looked back, he saw a young man looking at him.

Originally, this person still had a somewhat hesitant expression, but when he saw his true face, he suddenly showed a surprised expression.

"It's really you!"

"You are... ah! Brother!" After a moment of hesitation, Huang Ande also recognized him.This person's name is Sun Yuan, he can be regarded as his cousin in terms of Gua Man's relatives, he is also his robe, and he is also a soldier in the local area.

I haven't seen him for a few years, but Sun Yuan has come out in a decent way. Although he is still dressed poorly, his clothes are of good quality and his complexion is good.

Huang And held Sun Yuan's hand, just looked up and down, and asked after a while: "Cousin, after a few years, you are very different than before, are you still on the fort?"

Sun Yuan smiled and said, "I'm now the head of Sun Junmen's family. The superiors said that when there is a recommendation, I will be promoted to be a foreign committee member."

Huang Ande knew that serving as a soldier in the army, serving as a general and civil servant as a family member is a good way out for ordinary soldiers, not to mention promotion, at least the military pay is paid on time, and the food is much better than that of ordinary soldiers.Especially for a governor like Sun Yuanhua, there are few opportunities to fight desperately, it is not easy to die, and it is a good job.

He laughed and said, "After all, if you can't write two grandson characters in one stroke, your surname will win the lottery!"

Sun Yuan was a little embarrassed: "Where, my servant still got it from firing cannons. As you know, Sun Junmen invited a lot of Fulang Jimen from Guangli to teach us how to cast and perform cannons. Master Peter, the gun master, praised me a few times, so he accepted Sun Junmen as his servant."

"It's not easy! But you really put your heart into learning how to fire cannons!" Huang Ande knew that soldiers generally didn't want to be gunners. Although cannons were not a rare thing in the Ming Dynasty, the quality of cannons at that time was poor, and there were no good regulations for their use. , There are often accidents when firing cannons, and there are casualties at every turn.On weekdays, the cannon body has to be scrubbed, but the payment is not much more.Ordinary soldiers practice cannons purely for coping, and rarely have ulterior motives.

"Where!" Sun Yuan said a few words modestly, and asked, "Brother De, you have been away for several years, where are you settling down now, and there is no letter?"

Huang Ande asked in a low voice: "Let me ask you, did that happen last time?"

Sun Yuan was startled, and then realized that he was asking about the robbery of the official storehouse, and said: "It's over long ago. Among the few people caught, that kid Zhu San took over everything and beheaded him. The others Arrows were shot in the camp and dozens of army sticks were beaten."

Huang Ande couldn't help sighing when he heard this: "Zhu San is really a man, he is so loyal! He is a friend!" He wanted to take some money out of his pocket and ask him to bring it to Zhu San's house, but then remembered what Xu Xu said during the training, Don't reveal your money until you find out the details.

Sun Yuan said: "Who says no! Don't worry, everyone is taking care of you!" He looked at Huang Ande: "Brother De! Do you want to come back to work? I'm afraid it won't work if you use your original name to join the army, just change your name! My fifth uncle is Help me with the copywriting, change your name and fill it in first."

"That's not necessary." Huang Ande said, "Now I'm someone's entourage, I have food and clothing, nothing bad." Immediately, he told him the fake resume fabricated by the Foreign Intelligence Agency, saying that he fled After arriving in Guangdong, he sold himself locally to become a servant of a noble family, gained the trust of his master, and now he is a follower.This time, I went to Penglai with my master to do business. "

"It's impossible to do business here if you don't have any skills. I'm afraid your master is also a person with a lot of background!" Sun Yuan has been here for many years and has seen a lot.He was also happy for Huang Ande—as a servant of the gentry, even though he was a slave, his prospects were not bad—this is the same thing as being a servant, not to mention that being a entourage of the gentry does not require fighting and working his life, it is better One floor up.

"Of course. Although my master is only a scholar, he is a rich man in Guangli, and he can talk to the masters in Beijing." Huang Ande boasted, "I even paid a visit to Mr. Sun a few days ago." He said , "Come on, let's have a drink together!" Huang Ande finally found an acquaintance, of course he must quickly stabilize the relationship.Furthermore, Sun Yuan is indeed not an outsider, he used to hang out with each other when he was a soldier.

Sun Yuan was very happy because he was neither on duty nor practicing today, and also reunited with old friends, so he immediately agreed.He also stated that he wanted to treat himself.

"It's better for me to treat you." Huang Ande said, "I know you. Although you are a servant, your salary is only two taels, and it may not be paid in full every month. You have an old lady and brothers in your family. I am a bachelor. One, the monthly payment will not be less for those who eat and drink from the master. It doesn't matter!"

Now I found a tavern and asked for a single room.Ordered some wine and food.The two talked about the past and the old people.Huang Ande inquired about many past friends, relatives and old friends.Gradually, they began to inquire about the generals and officers again.Sun Yuan was unsuspecting and had no sense of secrecy. After a few glasses of wine, he immediately told everything he knew: who was promoted, who was killed in battle, and who was transferred... Not long after, Huang Ande found out about [-]% to [-]% of the general situation of Penglai Water Village.
