Chapter 79 Yazhou Working Group (3)
The executive committee's safety requirement for the working group is that if a hostile conflict occurs in Yazhou, members must give priority to saving their lives as a last resort. If they cannot retreat safely, they can choose to surrender and be captured. The working group will use the radio to regularly contact the base camp twice a day. If contact is lost for more than 24 hours, the base camp will activate an emergency plan and send powerful personnel to Yazhou for rescue.
Considering the convenience of using weapons, the Military and Police Department did not issue Type 56 semi-automatic rifles to the working group this time. That thing is really eye-catching. Each of the six male members was issued a MK23 and two magazines of bullets in case of emergency. Zhao Xiaoruo, on the other hand, rejected the suggestion of wearing weapons. She believed that if the six male members could not protect her, then an additional pistol would not help. This made Zhang Guang, who already regarded himself as a flower protector, feel in his heart. Secretly holding back some energy.
In addition, the Military and Police Department did not intend to waste Mu Xiabai and Feng Annan, two very capable personnel, so in addition to pistols, each of them was also issued an MP5SD6 silent submachine gun. The MP5, a submachine gun produced by the German HK company, has always been one of the standard equipment for special forces in various countries. This model selected and purchased by the North American Gang has the most outstanding features in addition to the telescopic butt that makes the entire gun body appear shorter and leaner. Its unique feature is that the front section of the barrel is equipped with a silencer. In addition, the shooting accuracy within 100 meters is very high. It is very suitable for performing some special tasks that should not be carried out in public. However, these two guns are private property. After the mission is completed in the future, the guns and unused ammunition must still be returned to the North American Gang.
In addition to weapons, the working group also brought a military radio, solar panels, a complete set of charging equipment for batteries and lights, and a hand-cranked generator just in case. In addition to other medicines, goods, some ingredients, seasonings and personal belongings, there are more than a dozen large wooden boxes. Fortunately, the largest amount of salt had been loaded yesterday, and it did not take much time to load these things on the ship today. This time the working group will not arrange another ship to send them off. Luo Shengdong's ship will take them directly to the outside of Yazhou City, which fully demonstrates the executive committee's trust in Luo Shengdong.
Almost all the people who stayed in Victory Port and Base No. 1 came to the dock to see off the working group. After all, the nature of this trip to Yazhou was completely different from the previous inspection. If nothing unexpected happened, they would have at least one or two Will come back only once a month. Most of the people present showed envious expressions, because although this job has a certain degree of danger, it also gets rid of the boring life here in the base camp. If things go well, then they can properly serve in the Executive Committee Make a note in their credit book. When the Cross-Travel Group expands its territory in the future, these people will definitely be the ones who will be given priority. Those who hold this idea are basically people who have previously registered but failed.
Of course, there are also people who are worried about the prospects of the working group. For example, Zhao Xiaoruo's good sister Wu Qiao has been holding Zhao Xiaoruo and crying since she arrived at the dock in the morning, as if she was parting from life or death. From her point of view, she simply couldn't understand why Zhao Xiaoruo would give up his barely comfortable life and go to Yazhou, a hundred miles away, to live with those "primitive people".
Tao Donglai introduced the members of the working group to Luo Shengdong one by one. Many of the working group's actions in Yazhou still require Luo Shengdong's cooperation and help. Especially when the working group encounters some emergencies, Luo Shengdong is likely to act as a savior, so do both in advance. The relationship between the two is very necessary.
Luo Shengdong also knew that these people were probably his main contacts with the Haihan people in the future, so he stepped forward to greet them one by one. The only thing that feels a bit strange is why there is such a delicate and beautiful woman in this team. But he was relieved after thinking about it. This woman might be the wife and concubine of one of them. These Haihan people planned to stay in Yazhou, so they would naturally bring their families with them.
After everyone boarded the ship, Luo Shengdong ordered the anchor to be pulled out and the sails to be raised, and the ship soon slowly left the port and headed south. All seven members of the working group stood at the side of the ship and waved goodbye to the crowd on the pier.
Ever since he started to interact with the Haihan people, Luo Shengdong has developed a habit of observing people. In retrospect, he probably developed this unintentionally when he was in the labor camp. By constantly observing various details of his superiors and inferring their personalities and thoughts, Luo Shengdong could learn more about them when he came into contact with them. Go with what he likes and avoid his sharp edges. Although this was a necessary means to survive at the time, Luo Shengdong later found this skill very useful, allowing him to deal with his superiors and colleagues more easily than before after returning to Yazhou Water Village. .
At this moment, Luo Shengdong was silently observing the people in the working group, trying to figure out something useful for him from them. Maliko and Qiu Yuan are obviously pampered people. Their skin is fair, there are no traces of work on their hands, and their conversation is very gentle. Recalling that when Tao Dong came to introduce him, he specifically explained that these two people were the main figures in the working group, Luo Shengdong felt much more relaxed - in the future, it would be better for him to deal with such scholars than with Chief Yan and Chief Gu. Fighting against such murderous soldiers is much easier. Of course, he still doesn't know that this inference he made is completely wrong.
The young man named Zhang Guang has dark skin and a strong body, but he does not have the murderous aura of a soldier. Luo Shengdong thinks that he may be a laborer in this team, and his skin color is the best proof. Luo Shengdong also noticed that he had been staring at the woman intentionally or unintentionally. It seemed that there must be some secret that was not known to outsiders.
The two people named Mu Xiabai and Feng Annan have obvious military characteristics. Moreover, Luo Shengdong had met Mu Xiabai during the battle with the Haihan people, and was very impressed. His crony Zhang Scarzi was shot in the head by this man. The eyes and expressions of these two people were very determined, and they were obviously the bodyguards in this team. Luo Shengdong really wanted to find an opportunity to compete with these two people in their boxing skills. What made Luo Shengdong feel taboo the most was He Xi, who didn't say a word after getting on the boat and acted very cold. You can tell at a glance that this man is not a soldier. A soldier who serves as a soldier will never be so introverted. Every time he met He Xi's eyes, Luo Shengdong felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and a chill ran down his spine, making him feel very uncomfortable.
Luo Shengdong thought for a long time, trying to find the source of this feeling. Later, when the ship was almost sailing out of Victory Harbor, he suddenly came to his senses - if this He Xi put on Feiyu clothes and carried an embroidered spring knife, wouldn't he look exactly like the Jin Yiwei in Yazhou City!
Luo Shengdong thought he had figured out He Xi's identity, but he was no longer afraid. The function of the Jinyiwei is to monitor court officials. This He Xi's role in the working group is probably similar, that is, to monitor whether several other Haihan people are involved in corruption and bending the law. No matter what, as long as it's not directed at him, Luo Shengdong doesn't think it's a big deal.
When Luo Shengdong came to Shengli Port this time, he still used the small Guangzhou boat he brought back last time. The speed was at most five or six knots. It was only a few dozen nautical miles from Shengli Port to Yazhou, and it almost took a whole day to travel. . With nothing to do, the people in the working group chatted with Luo Shengdong and learned about various information about Yazhou. The working group did not participate in the Yazhou inspection team last time, and they did not have such an intuitive understanding of some of the things mentioned in the report brought back by the inspection team. This time, with Luo Shengdong, a native, leading the way, we can learn about some more targeted situations.
What Maliko wanted to know mainly was Yazhou's bureaucracy, the composition of each yamen, the distribution of responsibilities and powers, and the interpersonal relationships among officials. Qiu Yuan wanted to know some data on Yazhou's commodity trade, but answering questions in this field was obviously not Luo Shengdong's strong point. Seeing that the other party was confused when asking questions, Qiu Yuan could only give up the idea temporarily. The two veterans' questions were even more professional and detailed. They even asked about the layout plan of the city defense patrol point by point. Luo Shengdong once thought that these guys were planning to seize the city under the guise of trade. Zhang Guang didn't ask anything. His duty was only to ensure smooth communication. He planned to spend the rest of his time cultivating a relationship with Zhao Xiaoruo. As for other things, he was not interested in knowing. Zhao Xiaoruo also inquired about how many pharmacies there were in Yazhou City, how many doctors they had, and their quality. Luo Shengdong mistakenly thought that she was sick and needed medical treatment, so he chose a doctor he knew well for a while. Tout.
When He Xi finally spoke, Luo Shengdong almost peed: "There should be Dongchang and Jinyiwei establishments in Yazhou City, right?"
"Well... there are some, but I'm not sure what their specific situation is..." Luo Shengdong started to sweat as he spoke. Are you kidding me? Dongchang and Jinyiwei are yamen that can be easily provoked? It would be lucky not to be stared at by them, no one would dare to pay attention to their affairs.
Luo Shengdong did not dare to answer, but He Xi continued on to himself: "It is April of the seventh year of Tianqi... If I remember correctly, Dongchang Fanzi is now under the control of Wei Zhongxian, the Tiqi of Jinyiwei Return to Tianer Farming Management, Mr. Luo Ba, did I say something wrong?”
Luo Shengdong was so anxious that he almost jumped over and covered his mouth: "Don't say it, don't say it!"
"You don't need to be afraid of this, right? Aren't there all your cronies on this ship? If they were to betray you, this would be more than enough to behead you." He Xi said with a hint of sarcasm.
Luo Shengdong said anxiously: "Having said that, Dongchang and Jinyiwei must not be mentioned casually, otherwise there will be disaster!"
