Hundreds of years later, various cults spread in the jungles of various islands in Java, no matter what kind of religious cloak they wear, but in their descriptions of the last days and the images of demons, demons are described without exception. He became a white-faced scholar with three beards, holding a thick iron rod in his hand, stepping on countless human bones under his feet, and holding half of a person who was still screaming in his other hand, watching his own body in the hands of the devil. The mouth was torn vigorously by sharp teeth, and a stream of blood dripped down the corner of the devil's mouth.

The images of demons described by these cults come from their inner historical memories.Combining the images of Zheng Sen and Wu Liuqi that have been recorded by them from generation to generation, the white-faced scholar's appearance is naturally none other than Zheng Sen, and the iron rod is Wu Liuqi's usual weapon, just like Master Guan's Qinglong Yanyue Knife.As for the countless corpses piled up at the feet of the two, it is naturally a painful memory for these cult members.

"Without demons like them, how could we go to the deep mountains and old forests where the sun is not seen all year round to spread the teachings?" A priest resentfully spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the statue representing the devil, but he was terrified. Looking around, he was afraid of being discovered.

After clarifying the battle plan, Zheng Sen ordered people to take the notices printed by the Duke's Mansion and post them in various towns, villages, markets, traffic arteries, etc., ordering all kinds of armed forces to fight within the deadline. Go to the government to register within, and complete the inventory of the men, weapons, horses, gunpowder, etc. they own one by one, and turn them in one by one.Otherwise, do so at your own risk.

Before starting a large-scale military operation, Zheng Sen and Wu Liuqi had to make choices in terms of military affairs and influence. If they want to fight, they must fight with influence.Can receive immediate results.

So, on one side were various armed forces and gangs. The chieftains and sultans saw the announcement of registration within a time limit and the handing over of weapons and horses. The staff office under Mori Ming conducted repeated deduction on the plan of the encirclement operation.on how to be able to go in different directions.At the same time, tens of thousands of people will surround and annihilate the selected targets from different locations.It is necessary to do thoughtful and rigorous organizational preparations.

One is to do a good job in reconnaissance.When Li Shouhan gave lectures in the martial arts hall, he often said that "the five elements are uncertain and you can lose cleanly." The so-called five elements are intelligence information such as the enemy's situation and our situation.As Li Shouhan's son-in-law, Zheng Sen and Wu Liuqi would not ignore this, and would not rashly throw their troops into those deep mountains and dense forests to become targets for ambushes!

A large number of scouts from the First Mixed Brigade took off their armored military uniforms and put on Tang shirts and trousers. Conduct reconnaissance in areas controlled by various armed forces.

Months of rebellion have turned Java into chaos.On the surface, everything is under the control of the Nanyue Army.However, in most areas, troops below the size of the Nanyue Army cannot go far away from county towns or large towns.As for the traffic arteries that connect the main points of various places, they are intermittent and paralyzed from time to time. The connection between various places has basically been cut off, making it extremely difficult for people to come and go and transport materials.

These various armed groups.The religious militia and the rebellious sultans and kings combined together, with more than [-] soldiers and horses.This is not counting the hundreds of thousands of people who were coerced and lured by them with their doctrines, ethnicity, bloodline and other concepts and force!These guys are entrenched in Kalimantan and Java, doing their own thing, fighting each other, and killing each other's believers.For a time, there was a bloody storm all over Java Road.

For this situation, Zheng Sen's method is actually to mobilize an absolutely superior armed force in the shortest possible time.At the same time, at the same time, the rebel armed forces in the same area (no way, if you don't listen to the call, don't register on time, and hand over your weapons and personnel, then you can only enjoy the treatment that is not to be said to be unpredictable) to adopt a strict blockade .Carry out repeated cleanup and suppression in the encirclement circle in the form of separate advance and joint attack, comb search, etc., to ensure that the cleanup is clean before moving to another area for cleanup.In order to achieve the effect of complete victory, avoid the situation where the wild fire is endless and the spring breeze blows again.

Does this trick look familiar?That's right, this is the tactic of encircling the iron wall and combing the grate that was hated by rabbits in military history. Okamura Ningji used such methods back then, almost destroying the entire Jizhong base area, and relying on the food provided by the Jizhong base area, The Taihang Mountain base area where the cloth and soldiers moved, and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area are all worthy of mention.In the adjacent southern Hebei base area, even brigade commander-level cadres were hungry and malnourished.And this tactic was used by Yang Yong and others to suppress bandits in Guizhou.However, the fundamental difference between Rabbit and Neiji Okamura is that the devil is for plunder, and his method is achieved through a series of brutal massacres.But the rabbit is completely different, the purpose is the two words on the military flag, "Liberation!"

However, in order to achieve such an effect, a prerequisite must be fulfilled first, the establishment of an iron wall blockade against the areas feared by the rebel armed forces, which is the key to the success or failure of this public security war.In order to establish this blockade that is hundreds or even thousands of miles long, it is necessary to know all kinds of situations within the encirclement.

"After entering the bandit area, we must clearly investigate the distribution and direction of roads, rivers, mountains, and passes, and understand the forces, weapons, garrisons, activity patterns, religious beliefs, and internal structure of various rebel groups. In particular, pay attention to The name, place of origin, appearance, figure, characteristics, habits, education, experience, hobbies and other information of the bandit leaders are collected."

These are the tasks assigned by the scouts who pretended to be shopkeepers and went deep into the bandit area to conduct reconnaissance!

Many scouts, with the mentality that the wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return, carry picks full of cloth, salt, rouge, pollen, and gradually approach several large-scale bandit leaders on Java Island. .In order to make the identities of these shopkeepers more unsuspected, many people carried various quantities of gunpowder and lead bullets, daggers, arrows, etc. in the interlayer of picks under the cloth oil and salt.Posing as the kind of smugglers who smuggle and smuggle weapons between the two sides of the crossfire.

However, these scouts probably didn’t have Yuri’s idea of ​​daring to sell truckloads of “umbrellas” to the Sahara region. They didn’t know that there is a famous saying in this world that business is booming when the streets are full of blood.On the one hand, it is true that war killings caused great damage.But at the same time, some trades such as population weapons are extremely prosperous, and bring huge wealth to those involved.Therefore, no matter ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, don’t feel dazzled when you see a salesman on the battlefield. No one does the so-called loss-making business.But the U-turn business rushed to do it.

Therefore, when these Southern Cantonese army scouts carried shopkeepers through the checkpoints of these Tuwang militia sites, they basically didn't have to worry about strict searches and personal safety, but often had to worry about buying and selling too much.These soil king militia leaders and religious leaders, although all of them are usually dignified, they are all experts in these immoral and damaging businesses.Seeing that the things that the investigators were carrying were all good goods, they immediately used all kinds of connections to send money to women, and at the same time vigorously promoted the materials in their jurisdiction.In the final analysis, its purpose is to collect as many weapons as possible, and prepare to hand over the weapons on time.He planned to use these weapons and gunpowder in his hands to gain more bargaining chips in front of Zheng Sen, so as to gain more benefits for himself and the group forces behind him.Those who intend to resist are even more vigorously collecting all kinds of military supplies regardless of the cost, some even to the point of frenzy.

After a few days of dealings, the Southern Guangdong Army has a preliminary understanding of the distribution and composition of various rebel armed forces on Java Island.One faction is carrying a green military flag with stars, moons and scimitars painted on it.He claimed to be a Muhammad warrior because of historical reasons.They were the first to rebel, coerced the most people, and occupied the largest territory.Compared with them, the number and territory of those Calvinist militiamen are much different.However, because of religious beliefs, the Calvinist militia can more easily obtain supplies of firearms and gunpowder.Moreover, the army's grasp of these firearms is much stronger than those of the Muhammad warriors whose main leader is the Sultan of the Earth, and whose soldiers and horses are the backbone.

The family is numerous and powerful, covering a vast area, with excellent weapons and elite combat power.The two factions were evenly divided on the island of Java.What's more terrible.The Calvinist militia played the banner of assisting the government and the army to maintain local order, which is undoubtedly more deceptive.And those Muhammad fighters who carried the green banner of the stars and the moon, because the local kings and the sultans did their own thing and did not buy into each other, after several battles, they were beaten by the Calvin militia and fled.

In this way, those spies who carried the burden of salesmen undoubtedly became extremely important figures in the eyes of various factions.Not only can you buy urgently needed items from them, but some people spend a lot of money to inquire about the situation of the officers and soldiers and other factions along the way.

"It doesn't matter! As long as you have enough money, let alone news, even if you want to order a large amount of ammunition and weapons, we can find a way to get them for you!"

Facing Sudan's questioning, Mai Ping, the leader of the spy, slapped his chest and tried to put on a philistine face.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have money, all kinds of jewelry and jade, gold, silver, ivory, leopard skin, rare birds and beasts, we accept them all!"

"Then, I want to buy five hundred barrels of gunpowder, and the medicines that you Han people use to treat trauma, gauze! The more the better! Can you get it?" Yu Supu, who was sitting on a gold and silver throne Sudan, although he eats a lot of fat and feeds himself into a fat body, but he is still one of the clearest minds among these rebel leaders, at least he knows how to prepare some medicine for his elite soldiers.

"Gunpowder can be obtained, but not so much. At most two hundred barrels. You have to go to the border to meet it, otherwise we can't guarantee that others will not be robbed on the road." Mai Ping followed Wu Liuqi in the east of Guangdong. Before that, he was also a country ranger who wandered around in casino brothels. It sounds good, but the bad thing is that he was also a country gangster.That is because of this experience, his grasp of human nature is more accurate than others.

If you say that there is no problem with Sudan's request in a big way, it will easily arouse suspicion. It is better to show some difficulties and problems, as well as the level of your own ability, which will make it easier to win people's trust.Sure enough, after listening to Mai Ping's words, Yu Supu nodded to show his appreciation.

"As for the medicines His Highness mentioned, that would be easier!" As for the medicines for trauma.At present, the Southern Guangdong Army has not included them in the embargo list, but it is also a problem to purchase a large number of them.Especially at a time when both sides are planning military operations, and suddenly there are people buying military medicine in large quantities on the market, it is no wonder that it does not arouse suspicion!

"Okay! With your promise, I will naturally treat you as our good friend! Don't worry. Your payment will not be missed! Even if there is no money and the things you want to pay for, we still have these!"

Sultan Yusupu waved the scepter in his hand, and the warriors in front of the tent opened an opening, revealing a passage. At the end of the passage, there was an extremely wide field surrounded by fences, surrounded by Yusupu's men. Soldiers patrolled with swords in hand.The thick wooden fence is full of people!

"These slaves are pagans we captured! If you will take them, I will sell them to you for a bargain!"

In front of the scepter of Sultan Yusupu, those Christians who were covered with scars, tortured by hunger and hopelessness and had lost the basic meaning of being human, looked at everything in front of them with empty eyes.It seems that everything has nothing to do with them.

"I'm calling you mother!" Mai Ping cursed in his heart!Although he himself thinks he is not a good person, he has done a lot of sneaky things before joining the army. After joining the army, he also followed Wang Jin, Wu Biao and others to sell the population looted by other bandits in eastern Guangdong to Chen Tianhua at that time in exchange. All kinds of necessities, but such a large-scale capture of people is used for slave business.This was the first time he had seen it.Moreover, he didn't even find a reason to use it as a fig leaf.Just one sentence, "You are a heretic!" is enough!

As everyone knows, among the two sects of believers of Muhammad and Yahweh, as long as you are a pagan, then you are born with original sin.Whether it is the flag of the crusaders, or the green flag with stars and moons painted on it.As long as it breaks the opponent's town, it will immediately be a tragic plunder and massacre, and after that, tens of thousands of people in the city will be sold as slaves.Mohammed's fighters sometimes even sold Christian captives to slave traders who also wore the crusaders on their chests, and similarly, if the crusaders did not break through the cities controlled by Mohammed's fighters.Then simply turn around and sack Constantinople.Even the child crusaders with the sacred purpose of recovering the Holy Land were sold collectively!

"How many people here? No, how many slaves?"

"There are more than 1 pagans who believe in the evil god of Jesus. I don't know the exact number. People die every day, and new captives are thrown in every day! I can only waste the food that Allah has given us by keeping these people. , pollute the land under your feet. It would be more beneficial to replace them with swords in the hands of soldiers!"

"Okay! Two hundred barrels of gunpowder, I will try my best to sell them to you! However, these people are the deposit you gave me, and I want you to send someone to send them to the border!" Mai Ping tried hard to control A series of the most vicious curses in his heart, and an extremely greedy look on his face.

"it is good!"

After the business was settled, Yu Supu had to show his generosity, wealth and enthusiasm in front of new friends, so an extremely luxurious banquet was arranged.

"My friend, you are my most honored guest! Thank you for sending me what I need at this time, you are an angel from Allah. Speak! In my land, in this banquet Come on, what would you like to eat?"

A scout who came with Mai Ping asked on the spur of the moment, "I want to eat monkey brains, do you have it?"

Yu Supu glanced at him with a smile, and called the minister beside him to give some instructions in a low voice. In the blink of an eye, the scout was in front of a dozen monkeys screaming and grinning.Immediately, the scout's face was as white as paper in fright.

Such a situation was not limited to Mai Ping and his team.The spies sent to various places to conduct investigations and sentinels all encountered similar scenes.As long as you can provide the official situation, attitude, and the needs of these armed forces under various banners, then no matter whether it is asking for money, gems, wood, or people, you will all agree.As for wine and meat, it is naturally commonplace to chase beautiful women, singing and dancing.

Of course, courteous people must have demands, and these people's demands are also very direct. They want weapons, steel, salt, and cloth. In short, as long as they need and important materials, no matter what means you use to get them, they will all agree. Smile.In this way, as many as hundreds of spies traveled smoothly but slowly through various cities, villages, towns and shops on Java Island, amazed by the suffering of the people, surprised by the enemy's attitude towards business travelers, and at the same time, the final purpose, Profit, but also beyond their imagination.

Zheng Sen and Wu Liuqi had made it very clear when they were sent out as detectives, "The capital is considered to be paid by the government, and all the profits belong to you. It is considered the government's reward for your hard work in advance!" Although everyone has The idea of ​​taking the opportunity to make a fortune, but faced with the profit that a needle can be exchanged for a fat buffalo, he was also dumbfounded. (To be continued..)
