The magician swung his staff, and a ball of fire the size of a fist condensed and smashed into the window. There was a muffled groan of pain and the sound of falling to the ground. Comrade Dana pulled out the small hammer from his waist and rushed up to the second floor with another swordsman. , resolved the rest of the battle cleanly.

During this period, a very dangerous thing happened. A guy who ran out from the back door was caught by three other male comrades. Seeing that the situation was not good, the guy took out a short gun from his arms and wanted to kill him. Fortunately, a blacksmith passing by threw the agricultural fork out of his hand, breaking the crisis in time.

The surrounding crowd gathered around all of a sudden, watching the policemen and adventurer vigilantes escort these potential saboteurs out, they all cursed at these bastards, and cursed at these gentle scum.

The young man who left didn't slip through the net. In terms of running, it was too difficult to run past Comrade Gong An who had retired from the First Army.

A total of five spies and devils were all arrested, and intensive interrogation work began.These people are extremely die-hard saboteurs, because they have often participated in the assassination of cadres, and they know better what will happen if they confess.Therefore, they are also extremely stubborn and will never admit any of their deeds.

Fortunately, the public found a record in the cupboard of the spy dressed as a gentleman, so that these people finally couldn't explain their crimes.

Don’t say I don’t know, I was shocked when I said it, this group was sent from the southeastern province to assist the work of the Fafnir Legion, and specially leaked the transfer and situation in the Central South Government to the Legion.

"No wonder, the old comrades of the First Army came to me in those few days, saying that the troops suspected that there are spies in each town who specialize in passing information to the nobles or the Fafnir Legion." Dana held a cigarette in his hand and said to me. The ministries beside him said.

"This group of people is already desperate, and they feel that they must be shot." The ministry also leaned on the wall and said.

"This group of people is still useful." Dana laughed.

"The comrades from the First Army said that this group of people may also be able to confuse the Fafnir Legion."

163 Lure the Enemy

"Do the comrades over there have an idea?" the ministry asked.

"Yes, based on the information from both sides, this group of people probably sent information specifically for the Fafnir Legion. They also leaked the whereabouts of the First Army. It is estimated that the Fafnir Legion is still waiting for them information," Dana replied.

"I know what you mean!" The ministry suddenly realized, clapping fists and palms together.

"It must be good for the front line to gain an advantage." Dana scratched his head again and nodded.

"Furthermore, if you give them a chance to reform themselves, they might be eager to cooperate."

......

"Is it reliable?" the officer asked the adjutant beside him frowning while holding the paper letter in his hand.

"It's reliable. They have always been the ones who sent out the intelligence of the rebels, and they have been doing this for a long time, and they have never been discovered." The adjutant replied.

"Hmph, that's not certain." The officer shook his head in disbelief and hummed.

"Last time, the central government had to send someone to join in. It's just such a young man, who might show his feet!" the officer said dissatisfied.

"The adults who can't, after all, are a group of ignorant people who have been confused by the rebels. It is estimated that they can't even understand the "Declaration" of the rebels now." The adjutant argued.

"You say you are stupid, but do you know that the rebels have already started teaching them how to read!" the officer still snorted coldly.

"Then this letter..."

"I still have to take it up and look at it." The officer said while sitting on the chair helplessly.

"Believe it or not, that's the business of Captain Howard's army. Besides, I don't think it's such a coincidence that I was suddenly caught by the rebels."

The letter was handed to the military tent all the time, which aroused heated discussions among the generals.After all, this is too coincidental. How could it be possible that the first army would withdraw as soon as it said it would withdraw?

"My lord, I think it's a bit strange." An officer stroked his mustache and stated slowly.

"Some time ago, the rebels were still trying to find our traces and wanted to lure us into a decisive battle. How could they retreat so decisively?"

"I think something is wrong," said the officer at last.

"Those people are old spies who searched everywhere, so they shouldn't be caught so easily." Another general objected.

"Furthermore, the enemy army is being attacked on both sides, and they must be very anxious when they find that our army has not responded to the battle. If they can't fight this way, they must find a way to relieve the pressure on the northern front and deploy troops to resist those nobles."

"I don't think so. With the character of Rebio, the deputy commander of the First Army, he should not make such a rash move. What's more, I have also received news that the noble army has arrived at the Kunqi line. With the strength of Wan Dajun, it is simply a drop in the bucket to invest half of the infantry." An officer shook his head and said.

"A drop in the bucket? Did you forget that they defeated six thousand troops with two thousand troops?"

"That was suddenly..."

"Okay, stop arguing!" Howard said as he sat up.

"The letter said that the rebels dispatched half of their troops to the northern front, leaving less than 5000 people stationed here."

"General Derek, what do you think?" Howard asked the old general.

"I see?" General Derek said with a glance at Commander Howard.

"I think it's fake." Derek pondered for a moment and said.

"Oh?" Howard asked with great interest. .

"Although allocating half of the army can indeed deter our army, if my Fafnir army attacks with all its strength, it shouldn't be a problem to defeat this mere 5000 people."

"And if these 5000 people are put into the battlefield with the nobles, they will probably only be able to delay the attack. This is an unfavorable decision. Rebio will not make such a decision." General Derek finally judged.

"I said several generals, why do you have so little confidence in our spies?" An officer said a little dissatisfied.

"And you, Colonel Hammer, I collected so many spies and put them in charge, not for you to suspect them. Let me ask you, was there any error in the information they sent back before?" The anxious officer took the lead in complaining to Colonel Hammer, who had been in charge of this handover.

"Probably not? At least our army has been doing things according to their information, and everything is going well. General Derek, I want to ask you again, do you think if you were Rebio, you would pull all the troops in Does it kill us here?"

"It must be impossible, right? In my opinion, this information cannot be false. You can believe it or not, but if it delays the war opportunity and allows the noble army to take control of the evil gate first, I think the central government will blame you for this responsibility." Can't you afford it?" The impatient officer continued to ask.

"You don't have to pick the best." Colonel Hammer said angrily.

"The news about spies cannot be fully believed. What if they are really caught and someone forces them to write it? Especially during that time, a spy from the central province was photographed. That Little guy, you can't compare with our old spies."

"Just one person, what can happen?" The impatient officer said angrily and amusedly.

"Furthermore, that young man, I have already told the spies over there not to allow him to participate in the battle to hunt and kill the rebels. Just passing on information every day, how could he be exposed?"

"What if he was discovered by those rioters?"

"What are you worried about? I don't believe that group of rebels are so good? They are just chanting slogans, and their real actions are no different from us... and the noble army!"

Seeing that it was about to quarrel again, Captain Howard could only sigh helplessly, and waved again to signal everyone to be quiet.

After all, he didn't come all the way from the deep-rooted old regiment leader, but was elected by the officers of the Fafnir Legion during the mutiny in the Central Province. He was not a tough figure at all.

When the central province mutinied, the Fafnir Legion responded to the central government and killed the noble generals in the army to reorganize the officer structure.Howard was unanimously approved by everyone to serve as the head of the legion, and he dismissed General Derek, who was not aristocratic but aristocratic, and became an ordinary general.The reason Howard was promoted from the commander of the First Infantry Division to the commander of the regiment was neither because he was smart, nor because he was capable, nor because he was ambitious, but simply because he was honest enough.

During the mutiny, this guy hid in his room, too scared to come out.The mutiny officers forced open his bedroom door to pull him out of the blanket to serve as regimental commander.This guy was so frightened that he kept shouting "Don't hurt me" all the way, and he was pushed up.

Howard is a marked neutral faction. Although his family is a businessman, it is okay to rely on noble relatives, so he has no intention of mutiny at all.At the most intense time, when the aristocratic faction and the bourgeois faction officers under his first division faced each other tit for tat, he could only make peace as he is now, and could not express his position.

It is precisely because of his ability to be gentle and muddy that everyone has always praised him high and let him be the commander of the army so that their troops can have the greatest autonomy.

"Generals, don't be too impatient." Howard said after careful thinking.

"How about this, wait a few more days and see the situation..."

"That's good!" Howard saw the dissatisfaction of the generals below, and quickly turned his head to think again.

"Our army advances forward fifty miles first, explores the specific situation of the rebels, and then makes plans." Howard decided.

"That's fine, then I'll send the cavalry to investigate and find out the truth." General Derek also decided to return.

"After detecting the situation, an attack should be organized as soon as possible to wipe out the rebels."

Several main battle officers looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.Everyone knows how rich the Zhongnan government is, especially since this group of rebels has also cleared out the noble and powerful landlords over there, which means that if they can break in, the entire large area of ​​land will be redistributed by them.

There are also factories and weapons. If those new firecrackers are seized, it will be so bad if they turn against the noble army again. The unification of Central and South China is just around the corner.

General Derek almost put his disdain for these officers on his face. He had known for a long time that these people would be difficult to accomplish. After all, these people generally cleared their aristocratic chiefs and put them in positions. There is no such thing as a division commander or a brigade commander. With knowledge and heart, he only cares about profit, which is really a pure bourgeois style.

"If the old generals are still here, how could they organize an attack so rashly." Old General Derek sighed heavily, thinking helplessly.

The Fafnir Legion has followed His Majesty Alexander to fight against the tide of Warcraft for many years, and the generals back then were also smarter and better at fighting.But now he is the only one left, and the other old generals have all been cleared out long ago.

In the government town, such a thing happened.

In front of the government building, Sun Boyang shook hands with several middle-aged and elderly gentlemen in robes to bid them farewell. After shaking hands, these gentlemen would devoutly make a religious gesture for Sun Boyang to express their blessings to him.

Father March is the leader of this team, and his figure has also begun to slim down slightly, and he is no longer as inconvenient as before.After all, it is necessary to visit various villages non-stop to support land work. Under such high-intensity work, anyone will lose weight.

The priest smiled and hugged and parted from Sun Boyang, shaking hands to express blessings.The two of them can really be regarded as old comrades in arms. Since he came into contact with Leszek's thought, he has been fighting for this common noble ideal. He is a true revolutionary priest.

"I'm still worried. You should take this." Sun Boyang took out his salary, which was forty copper coins, from his pocket with some worry.Many people from other forces are maliciously speculating that Sun Boyang is so tall on the surface, but he actually doesn't know how much money he has earned.But in fact, Sun Boyang is alone, and his salary is not even as high as that of his younger brother Sun Raul.

His salary is the lowest among all government workers, and even with such a sum of money, he really spends very little on his own life.Sun Boyang's biggest expenses every month are probably the living expenses and tuition fees for Lida's child.

164 Southeast Road

The Zhongnan government is still in the development stage, and all parties need money and materials to support them.With enemies on three sides and trade almost interrupted, this aspect is even more embarrassing for the Zhongnan government.Fortunately, under more than a year of government management and trade, the Zhongnan government has also accumulated a large amount of reserves, so that the development plan can be carried out smoothly.

"Frugality is a virtue", this is Sun Boyang's slogan for all government staff.The old Leszek-born staff and young officials can understand it, but this kind of slogan is still quite critical among those old bureaucrat-born officials.According to their thinking, even with high-intensity supervision and control of corruption, they can reluctantly accept it.But you can't even control everyone's own salary, can you?

According to Sun Lauer, the words of these old bureaucrats are pure excuses to vent their dissatisfaction with the management and control of corruption.The government did not lower their salaries, but only called on them to be more thrifty. Is it wrong?Sun Raul was very disdainful of these people, and he suggested to Sun Boyang and Okedo many times that they should be cleared out and let them retire.One by one is too bureaucratic and too unfavorable for carrying out work.

These people do have problems of one kind or another now. In terms of job functions, they are indeed doing a good job.Registration, records, and management are all done formally.But the biggest problem is that they are too bureaucratic, and they can't help but show superiority in their conversations.Moreover, the vague style of work has also gradually manifested itself. The Zhongnan government officially began to increase the salaries of the staff at the end of [-]. After the increase from the original [-] copper coins to [-], these people have more and more shares to buy luxury goods. mean.

There are even various officials who will take advantage of their duties to bring some luxury goods to the traveling businessmen who come to the Central South Government, and some simply expressly hint that they hope to give more or less benefits.Some people also know that the government has a strong control over corruption, so they changed their thinking. I am not corrupt, but I have to accept the things that people give as gifts during the holidays, right?

This kind of unhealthy trend was slowly suppressed after Sun Boyang arrived at the Zhongnan government to reorganize and preside over the work. Sun Boyang re-strengthened the system management, stipulated more officials' prohibited behaviors, and Sun Raul, who was in charge of internal affairs, was tough. Only after Zeke and others dealt with it, this growing unhealthy trend gradually slowed down and returned to normal.

It's not that Okdo didn't want to take care of it, but at that time the government was in urgent need of staff who could work, so they could only control them as much as possible, and couldn't make too much interference.It was also the arrival of a large number of Leszek from the central province who followed Sun Boyang, which alleviated the problem of insufficient staff and allowed further control.

Now we really have to think about the problems of this part of the officials.Sun Boyang planned to carry out ideological re-education for these officials after the war, and those who were willing to accept their ideas would stay in their posts, and those who were not willing to leave with severance pay.During the current war, it is inappropriate to hold it rashly. It still needs to be carried out step by step. First, control it with a more moderate attitude, formulate more regulations, and re-educate its thinking.Then organize further measures, those who should be dismissed should be dismissed, and those who should be professional should be professional, and these people must not be retained to continue to exert their bureaucratic spirit.

Sun Boyang's monthly expenditure is roughly like this, among which seven large copper coins are given to Lida as living expenses and tuition fees. The child is growing up and should eat more.Sun Boyang seldom had time to visit her, so he simply entrusted him to his younger brother Sun Lauer's house to be raised by his younger siblings.

Ten coppers for Papa, Santos.Although Santos strongly opposed coming to this "backcountry" place, when the two brothers decided to come, the father still compromised.He packed up his belongings, dismissed his servants and sold some valuables, and followed the two to Zhongnan.I plan to open an oil and salt workshop here to live.

But obviously, according to another regulation, the family members of senior government employees are not allowed to engage in business, which blocked the plan of Santos' father.The two brothers could only comfort the old father by sending a sum of copper coins every month to support the old man.

Santos accepted this fact after a brief complaint. His two sons were blamed for murdering His Majesty Alexander and forced to go to Central South.No matter how unsupportive he is as a father, he can understand the difficulties of the children.

Taking care of the baby at home has become Santos' main job.

The remaining thirteen copper coins were not spent by Sun Boyang himself. He also had to take out part of it to support Stephen's goddaughter Leona. Find him a wife, but what is this like?Just nonsense.

This money will always be spent slowly in daily work and life. For example, in today's situation, Sun Boyang has to use his salary to do work again.

"You are holding Comrade March, although there are not many, but the journey is very bitter, and it is better than nothing." Sun Boyang took out five copper coins from his wallet and wanted to stuff them into Father March.

"Listen to me, Comrade Sun Boyang." Father March pressed Sun Boyang's hand and refused.

"I have already prepared enough money, there is no need to take your share. You should keep the money for yourself, buy some meat, and buy something nutritious to eat." Father March ordered.

"My health is very good." Sun Boyang raised his chest and patted his chest in dissatisfaction.

"You always say that, but you are indeed much thinner than before." March said with admiration in his eyes.

"Comrade Sun Boyang, listen to me. Your health is the most important thing. Zhongnan cannot live without you. You should pay more attention to your body." Father March criticized again.

"I am no different from everyone else. I can eat whatever everyone eats. You accept it. The work over there is more difficult than here. You should keep it." Sun Boyang said stubbornly.

"Comrade Sun Boyang, you have always talked about science and progress. How come you are talking about things now. Even our priests don't think so. We firmly believe that people's diets cannot be generalized. In ancient books, some people Eating peanuts will lead to tragic death, and some people will get skin rashes after eating fish, you have retreated in this area of ​​science." Father March disagreed.

"That's an allergy, and I'm not allergic or not." Sun Boyang replied indifferently.

"You have to be careful not to collapse. You should also spend more time with Lida and your father Santos. He has aged a lot. Although he has always been very dissatisfied with you and pretended to be angry, but when I visited him last time, It can be seen that he is looking forward to your news." Father March thought for a while and continued.

"Beware of spies, too. Watch out for spies. You can't take your life seriously, you have to pay attention," March added.

"Okay, I'll pay attention, I will pay attention." Sun Boyang agreed with a helpless smile.

Father March and the others slowly mounted their horses, pulled the reins, and were about to leave.

They wore identical black robes and carried a large backpack.Inside that backpack were a handful of coils, scriptures, the Manifesto, and pen and ink.Other than that, there is only water and matzo, and a small jar of salt.

Nothing else.

"The people under the Zhongnan government are already rich and happy." Father March said.

"Now that the kingdom of heaven on earth has been built, and my brothers and sisters are continuing to spread the teachings for everyone, there is no need for me to stay any longer."

"Children in many places are still suffering, and I cannot indulge in happiness. Just like the Lord God Dipolo said:" Father March read the sentences in that scripture.

"I said, people should be equal, people should be rich, the rich should help the poor, and the equal should rescue the slaves. In this way, my light will spread across the entire earth."

After completing the initial religious construction in the south-central region, Father March and other seven priests submitted letters of resignation for the government, deciding to go to the southeast, to places that are still poor and oppressed.Do the most determined struggle to liberate Quanyong Dalim.

"The priests and brothers over there have already established the religious self-government association." March said to Sun Boyang with a smile.

"Goodbye! Brother Sun Boyang!" Father March rode his horse to the east.

"Di Polo is always protecting you!"

"Goodbye." Sun Boyang slightly raised his hand and waved towards Ma Qi's back.

After this farewell, I don't know when we will meet again next time.
