Traveler Major League

Chapter 57 Preparation
The summer sun just came out and the weather was getting hotter. The main street of Xiao’s house in Chengcheng was already very lively. When we arrived in Mao, all the shops on the street took off their doors and opened for business. The street is wide and the flow of people is high. There are also many, so there are many shops on both sides, including clothing shops, jewelry shops, shoe shops, and decoration shops.

There is also a donkey cart on the street that collects excrement, and it comes at the hour of the day every day, so early in the morning, some people are waiting on the street with their family buckets. Because waiting is boring, everyone chatters in groups At first they often chatted about gossip, but now they are discussing in full swing the matter of last night Wang Eryi scooped up the nobles in the city.

Suddenly a whistle sounded, and immediately there was a commotion in the residential houses on both sides of the dormitory. The people who were spouting and chatting on the street also stopped at this moment, and looked towards the place where the whistle sounded, only to see Liu Ze holding his hand Holding a small bamboo whistle in his hand, he stood in the middle of the street calmly.

This small bamboo whistle is still made of materials taken from the bamboo forest of Lu Wan'er's house. There are fewer bamboo forests in Shaanxi, no more than in the south, so when Liu Ze accompanied Lu Wan'er to bury her parents that day, he caught these at a glance. Bamboo, he is short of a utensil that can make noise anytime and anywhere as a command signal, and using bamboo as a bamboo whistle is his best choice right now.

The sound of the bamboo whistle is at least 80 decibels, and it can easily be transmitted 100 meters away, so Liu Ze regards it as a must-have for every non-commissioned officer and serves as a command signal.

The method of making a whistle from bamboo is very simple. You only need to find a section of bamboo as thick as a little finger, take a straighter bamboo tube, cut out a V-shaped sound hole with a knife, and then find a solid branch and cut out a whistle. For a plug with an inclined surface, insert the plug into the blowing hole, and pay attention to leave a suitable gap for smooth air flow.If there is an opening at one end of the resonance cavity, it can also be blocked with branches.

The sounding principle: the airflow enters a gradually narrowed gap from the blowing hole, the airflow speed becomes faster and faster, and is cut by the slope of the sounding hole, causing high-speed airflow disorder, and the turbulent airflow entering the resonance chamber resonates, and then emits a sharp sound.

The whistle blew again, and all the soldiers stood at attention. Although Liu Ze had already gathered on this street for a roll call, the residents on the street were not used to it. A very strange look looked over.

"What's going on here? It's very strange."

"You can't gossip here. I heard that he led people to destroy Xiao's house last night. Even the nursing home was tortured and killed. The blood in the intestines, belly, eh, cruel!"

"Yes, yes, I also heard from the fourth cleaning lady, let's go quickly."

Liu Ze listened to the discussion of the residents nearby, and didn't bother to defend himself. He just put his hands behind his back and silently looked at the soldiers in the team.

Wang Shanbao stood on one side and shouted, "Stand at attention!"

"Look to the right!"

"Look forward!"

"Count the numbers!"

"One"

"two"

. . . .

Soon the number of personnel was reported. There was not a single casualty or loss of personnel in the battle yesterday, but seven people including yesterday's Guo Shunwang were missing when they got up early today. It happened when three people supervised each other.

Wang Shanbao saw Liu Ze's complexion was not good, and he went to ask the soldiers of the same class again, and explained: "Commander, according to the people in the class, these six people all disappeared after going to the toilet in the middle of the night, and they usually hang out with Guo Shunwang. Together, could it be that the soldiers who went to the county government with you last night chewed their tongues and scared them away?"

"Where are their weapons?" Liu Ze asked, frowning.

"They're all gone. They were all temporarily transferred. The rest of the class is not familiar with them. Although they were deliberately separated into two classes, they were still taken advantage of."

Seeing the soldiers lined up on the street whispering to each other, Liu Ze breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and said, "Brothers, those people are all deserters, and they will definitely not be able to escape in this city, so I will report to Second Brother , let him assist in the hunt, we have more important things to do today, pack everything up, and we will leave for Yijun County in an hour!"

"The squad leaders will explain the specific tasks to you, and report to the squad leaders if you have ideas, and then come to me to summarize, and eat braised pork and broth this morning, enough steamed buns! Disband!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Ze hurried to the county government office to report to Wang Er. The main reason was that they were leaving for Yijun County today, so they had to take advantage of this opportunity to ask for supplies. The emperor was still hungry.

The final result is that Second Brother Wang's words sound good, and he can pick whatever he wants in the county library, but when Liu Ze arrives, he knows that he will suffer when he sees Yu Ting smirking there.

"Brother Yu, if you don't bring such things to play with, you just have these iron gun heads, and you don't even have a barrel. How can I go to Yijun County?" Liu Ze looked at a corner of the county treasury and said depressedly.

"Yesterday, I didn't bring that boy Guo Shunwang back in time to kill him and close the case. You see, another six soldiers fled in fear of crime today! This incident caused a lot of trouble. I only have about [-] people now. How can I go to Yijun County to lure officers and soldiers out of the city?" ?”

Yu Ting was also a little embarrassed to hear Liu Ze pouring out his bitterness there, "Brother Liu, otherwise I still have food, cloth and so on here, so you can take as much as you can?"

"That's what I sent the day before yesterday!"

Hearing this, Yu Ting was even more embarrassed, "There are also gunpowder, saltpeter, and sulfur. You can take as much as you can! I'll make the decision for you! These good things are money and no place to buy them now! Your four boxes of silver...cough cough."

Seeing Liu Ze turn his head to look at him, Yu Ting felt that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he could only cover it up with a cough.

Liu Ze thought it was right, and now that the matter has come to an end, he simply changed to something more affordable. He told the soldiers to bring over the seven donkey carts, first load them with gunpowder, saltpeter, sulfur, and gunpoints, and fill the rest with as much grain and cloth as they could. But Yu Ting didn't stop him, he simply said that there were other important matters, and ran to the side of the classroom to hide for leisure.

"Brother Yu, the guy surnamed Liu just delivered seven carts of grain the day before yesterday, and he moved it back immediately today, and even filled it with more expensive gunpowder, do you really care?" The attendants on the other side looked at Liu Ze's face in a hurry Arranging for someone to carry the goods, he said distressedly.

Yu Ting was at leisure and didn't care much. Holding a teapot in one hand and a book in the other, he explained to his entourage anxiously, "It's just an attitude to ask him to bring food. Is the food enough to last for a few days? I asked you to hide it in advance. Have you hidden all the gunpowder, saltpeter, sulfur, etc.?”

"After your order, I sent someone to remove it. It seems that the rest will be removed by that Liu."

"He doesn't treat himself as an outsider, so we have to treat him as our own. The army will come soon, so we can't push him away!"

Yu Ting was quite open-minded, he could exchange Liu Ze for a little something to help them charge forward, so why not do it.

"Going to Yijun County to attract officers and soldiers this time is also full of dangers, so he can take it. Our second brother does not lack this."
