Chapter 239 Cold Winter, Warm Winter 5

The bandits in Motianling have been able to escape the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers for so many years. In addition to their own certain strength, they mainly rely on two points: one is that they have hidden insiders in Shuizhi Town and Wan'an County, and they can find accurate information about the bandits in suppressing bandits, and the other is that they use pigeons to send this information to Motianling.

I don’t know that since that year, the bandits in Motianling sent secret sects to open hotels in Shuizhi Town and Wan'an County. Both restaurants have a famous dish, which is steamed pigeons. When the restaurant has this dish, pigeons must be purchased frequently. The bandits in Motianling often pretend to be pigeons selling pigeons and secretly send pigeons to these two restaurants.

There are more than 100 bandits in Motianling. If the officers and soldiers want to suppress the bandits, they will usually prepare a company of troops. Before sending troops, the official army will notify Shuizhi Town in advance to prepare food supplies. In order to strengthen the military's power, the bandit suppression troops will hold a lively expedition ceremony in Wan'an County. In this way, the bandits' stakes in the two places will easily obtain information about the officers and soldiers' swearing bandits. After obtaining the information, the stakes will write the news into small notes and put them in a small bamboo tube tied to the legs of the pigeon, and then release the pigeons.

Pigeons are born with the instinct to return home to their nests, especially those specially trained carrier pigeons, whose flying ability is even stronger. A strong and trained carrier pigeon can fly at an hour of 70 kilometers. It is less than 200 miles from Wan'an County to Motianling. Often, the soldiers who suppressed bandits often brought the news back to Motianling just as soon as they left the city gate.

During this period, the bandits either seized the time to prepare and finally fought hard with the officers and soldiers, or fled when the situation was not good. Therefore, over the years, the bandits in Motianling have been suppressed and are even growing stronger and stronger.

After Han Jizhong received the method of sending a message from the carrier pigeons, he immediately kept several bandits who specialized in raising and training carrier pigeons among the bandits. These bandits were only responsible for the pigeons and had never done any evil. After being captured this time, they wanted to refresh themselves and prepare to be a new person after returning home. Han Jizhong directly gave them two choices: either stay in the army, and the work they did was the same as before, that was to raise and train carrier pigeons; or go down the mountain immediately, but he could not guarantee whether anyone was shooting a black gun behind him.

Shooting black guns behind the scenes is a common thing for bandits. Of course, these people are unwilling to become unknown ghosts under the gun, so they all expressed their willingness to stay.

As for the two bandits' black shops in Shuizhi Town and Wan'an County, Li Qinglin naturally gave full power to Pan Kewei to handle. A few days later, Pan Kewei brought the house deeds of the two stores and the list of shareholders of the store. Li Qinglin and Pan Kewei's names were naturally listed, and these two properties were also under the names of the two.

According to Pan Kewei, these two restaurants are neither big nor small, and their locations are not very eye-catching. The business is not very popular, but it is a bit profitable. It seems that the bandits in Motianling are very smart. Such a less eye-catching place and less hated business is the safest.

After receiving these two places, Pan Ke retained most of the original personnel, and those who were not suitable were quietly cleaned up. Pan Kewei arranged for the military commander to enter, and these two places became another source of information outside the Yan Boling line.

In order to test the speed of intelligence transmission, Han Jizhong specially brought a teleportation pigeon to release it from Wan'an County for a scheduled time. After inspection, this method is indeed the fastest way of communication besides telephone and telegram.

According to Li Qinglin's instructions, Han Jizhong also sent several carrier pigeons to Yan Boling and arranged for people to teach Tang Yun how to raise and use carrier pigeons. At present, with a relatively safe and fast way to transmit intelligence and two sources of intelligence, Li Qinglin felt a little relieved.

Zhang Ergou's Eighth Squadron lost a lot of people this time, so his strength was greatly damaged. Fortunately, some scattered soldiers and stragglers from the Ninth Detachment were added later. Although the number of people in the Eighth Squadron was smaller than before, the number of veterans is much larger, and the quality of personnel has been improved. In addition, Zhang Ergou knew his shame and then braved his courage and focused on military training. The combat effectiveness of the troops is much stronger than before.

Under Li Qinglin's strict order, despite the severe cold weather, each squadron vigorously strengthened shooting and fighting training, and the individual soldiers of each unit improved rapidly, especially the individual shooting level, so the level of upgrade was not the same level.

Pan Kewei often goes to Sangyu Town now. He comes either for other purposes or for the addiction to catching Japanese and puppet spies with his own hands.

Pan Kewei is a spy of the Military Control Commission, and the Shuizhi's detective team is a spy of the Japanese and puppets. They can be said to be a relationship between them. The peers are enemies, which is an eternal truth. Just like Zhang Ergouji wants to defeat the regular Japanese and puppet troops, Pan Kewei is also trying to capture the Japanese and puppets' co-stars of his own greatest victory.

In Sangyu Town, Li Qifan is responsible for releasing traitors and preventing spies. Pan Kewei ran to Sangyu Town whenever he had free time to help Li Qifan analyze the enemy situation and guide the business. Pan Kewei is really a cunning spy. Under his guidance, Li Qifan and Sasaki fought wits and courage. Sometimes he caught a spy, and sometimes he consciously let the spy who had been discovered.

Sasaki, who was in Wan'an and Kondo, who was in Mizuji, were sometimes depressed because the spy was arrested, and sometimes excited because the spy returned from reconnaissance. Sometimes they had no information, and sometimes they seemed to have received some news because of the spy returned. The spies were completely held by the tricks of Pan Kewei and Li Qifan.

The Asia Trading Company jointly established by Li Qinglin and Nokawa has opened. Because it is backed by the big tree of Nokawa and the Japanese boss "Shunji Kobayashi", the Asia Trading Company's business is becoming increasingly prosperous. Of course, these businesses are related to the care of the Japanese and puppet troops and the traitors.

Due to the enthusiastic invitation from Yan Boling, the representative of "Junobayashi", Taijun, Liang Dagong, who was the new commander of the First Army of the Imperial Army, also became a shareholder of the Asia Trading Company's stakes, and some local traitors also collected some shares and joined in.

With such a powerful background and the clamor of local traitors, the Asia Trading Company almost took over various businesses of the First Army of the Imperial Army, and Tang Yun and his team became more and more free and casual in and out of the First Army. In addition, Yan Boling had been translator in the First Army before, and he was very familiar with many middle and lower-level officers of the First Army. Over time, Tang Yun and his team had a thorough understanding of the First Army's situation. It can be said that the slightest movement of the First Army could not hide Yan Boling and his team's eyes.

Like Li Qifan, Tang Yun is also an extremely intelligent young man. Unlike Li Qifan, Tang Yun is from a merchant family. He is diligent in words and deeds, and is best at observing words and expressions. When Pan Kewei saw this young man in private, he believed that he was a natural intelligence officer. Therefore, Pan Kewei conducted many trainings, and Tang Yun basically mastered the skills that an intelligence officer should have.

In intelligence work, the closer they can get to the enemy, the more advanced and comprehensive the intelligence they get. Under Pan Kewei's guidance, Tang Yun took advantage of all opportunities to contact Liang Dagong. Although he failed to enter the headquarters of the First Army, Tang Yun successfully entered Liang Dagong's home in Shuizhi.

Liang Dagong is from Hebei. This time, the Japanese were urgently transferred to Shuizhi by the Japanese because of Li Fuhe's murder. He had a little wife himself. Because he was pregnant at that time, Liang Dagong took to Shuizhi and set up a temporary home for her in Shuizhi City.

Liang Dagong's concubine is also from Hebei. After arriving here, she was not familiar with the place. Although Liang Dagong hired a servant for her, the pregnant people had a bad temper, so they often had a quarrel with Liang Dagong.

Liang Dagong was able to bring his concubine to Shuizhi, which shows that he loved this concubine very much. Tang Yun also learned from other channels that Liang Dagong not only brought the concubine to Shuizhi, but also brought the concubine's brothers, and arranged the concubine's brothers to serve in the Military Control Commission.

Tang Yun naturally would not let this relationship go. He often gave Liang Dagong's house under the name of Asia's business, and often did some miscellaneous work at his house.

Liang Dagong's concubine was very young and beautiful, and now she was pregnant with him. Liang Dagong really loved this concubine very much. He basically came back to spend the night every night. The concubine's brothers were very flirting with this cheap brother-in-law, and he often came to see his sister. Tang Yun often went to Liang Dagong's house. After getting familiar with them, Tang Yun really learned some military information that outsiders didn't understand.

At noon that day, Tang Yun brought some mutton and came to Liang Dagong's house. After putting the mutton in the kitchen, Tang Yun heard from the servant that the kang ash in the room was full, so he brought a shovel and a dustpan and began to pick up the kang ash in the inner room.

At this moment, Liang Dagong came back. The concubine personally welcomed Liang Dagong's military coat and hung it on the hanger, but she started arguing with Liang Dagong again.

Tang Yun heard the concubine scolding, "Liang Dagong, you are such a heartless thing. I, a big girl, have been a little for you. Not only did you not take care of me, but you also sent my brothers to the battlefield. What kind of heart are you content with?"

Hearing the word "battlefield", Tang Yun felt aroused. He slowed down his movements of pulling out the kang ash and raised his ears to listen.

Hearing the concubine complaining to her, Liang Dagong called out: "Auntie, don't be angry. If you get angry, it will be bad for the baby in your stomach. It's not that I, Liang Dagong, don't take care of your brother, but that the Japanese asked him to go to Sangyu Town by name."
