Xie Ming

Chapter 111 Don't Have Shame
"Fight the enemy for the hearts and minds of the people!"

Hearing these powerful six-word mantra, Qiu Zhizhong's heart trembled and he was deeply moved.

"Old Xiao, that's right! Okay, that's what we should do!"

"With these six words as the general outline, we don't have to worry about not achieving great things!"

"Hahaha"

After he finished speaking, Qiu Zhizhong laughed heartily.

"Hey, Feiyu (Qiu Zhizhong), don't be too happy too soon!"

"You also have a very important task here!" Xiao Jingchuan calmed down and said.

"Oh? What kind of task? Tell me!" Zhizhong's interest was aroused again.

"Think about it, our guerrilla style of fighting and then leaving."

"Tactically, it is most suitable in enemy-occupied areas!"

"But if we consider measuring the land and distributing it, it would be very difficult to find the time to do it!"

"So I thought"

"In the future, the burden on you may be even heavier!"

"In addition to secret intelligence work, wherever our army goes, you must place personnel as soon as possible after the main force withdraws."

"First, you are necessary to spy on the intelligence and pound the nails."

"Secondly, we need to prepare another type of people, that is, a team that can occupy areas behind enemy lines, organize the masses, and conduct small-scale, low-intensity combat!"

"These people may be poor farmers on weekdays, but with their manpower, we can fight for the benefit of the people in the vast areas behind enemy lines!"

"Like beans scattered on a chessboard!"

"Help the poor people deal with the gentry and landlords, fight for food and land for the people, and also arm themselves to cause a certain degree of destruction behind enemy lines!"

"Destabilize and consume the military, financial, and human resources in the areas they occupy!"

"Increase the cost of occupying various places for bandits!"

"This way, your original intelligence and secret spy system can also play a certain role in protection!"

"The two sides are managed separately, but they can complement each other and develop together in dealing with the enemy!"

Xiao Jingchuan gave another long speech.

Qiu Zhizhong listened attentively and was very focused.

After listening to it, he took a long breath and felt that he benefited a lot!
"Old Xiao, it's your Old Xiao!"

"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading!"

"Okay! I, Qiu Zhizhong, will take note of this matter for the time being!"

"Try it!"

"Old Xiao, you have to give me some time to digest it."

"I will try to get this done as soon as possible and report back to you in detail!"

After saying this, Xiao Jingchuan smiled with satisfaction and patted Zhizhong on the shoulder to show his sincere entrustment.

"General!"

"General!"

Just as Xiao and Qiu were having a long discussion in front of the government office, Ma Minglu, who was in charge of mobilizing food, suddenly came running over.

"Report to the General!" Minglu took two quick steps, approached the two men, and bowed to report.

"The 8,000 dan of grain previously stored in the military camp east of the city and in the government treasury has all been transported here."

"According to the population register compiled by Magistrate Wu De, there are 1834 households in Yi County, with a population of about 16500 people."

"So we estimated that it was about five dou per person."

"With this food, the people in this city won't have to go hungry for two or three months!"

Ma Minglu is the son of a Shanxi merchant. People who come from a merchant family always say that merchants value profit more than separation, but if you look closely at his current behavior, it is not difficult to see how happy he is!

A joy that has nothing to do with self-interest, a joy and happiness of the spirit of dedication and sharing!

"OK!"

"You are a calculating guy, I trust you to do the job!"

"By the way, did Changting just tell you?"

"Later, all the soldiers from our various units and the more than 700 recruits detained in the barracks will come to assist the officials in distributing food!" "You will be in charge of the coordination!"

"You have to work harder. You must assign these people properly and maintain order at the scene. You must not cause any trouble with the people!"

"Did you hear that?!" Xiao Langling.

"Yes! Just now, Changting has also explained it to me!"

"Don't worry, General. There will be no trouble!" Ma Minglu replied confidently.

"Haha, okay! Go ahead!"

Hearing this, Ma Minglu clasped his fists, turned around and walked away, but before he took two steps, Xiao Jingchuan suddenly stopped him.

"Hey, wait, Minglu, wait a minute!"

As he spoke, Xiao Lang took out an oil-paper bag from his arms as if by magic, and opened it, revealing a bag of pastries.

Then, he picked out a big piece and threw it towards Minglu through the air!

Ma Minglu was quick-witted and grabbed it and put it in his mouth.

After finishing the work, he did not stay any longer and went on with his errand happily.

Seeing this, Qiu Zhizhong, who was standing nearby, also approached quietly with a thief's eye, and stretched out his hand to take a piece from the paper bag.

Seeing the situation, Xiao Jingchuan suddenly moved and dodged immediately!

"Hey, Lao Xiao, give me another piece. I haven't had breakfast yet. Before I came out of the hall, you were so stingy that you only gave me two small pieces to eat. This is not enough!"

"I'm still hungry here!"

"Hurry up! Give me some more!" Qiu Zhizhong begged kindly.

But on the other hand, Xiao Lang was very disrespectful.

"Eh? You said you were greedy, just try two pieces!"

"There's only a small packet, and you want to swallow it all?" Xiao Jingchuan refused to give in.

"Hey! Lao Xiao, you're such a dirty bastard!"

"If I hadn't asked Chang Ting to bring you this bag of food when he went to capture Zhao Huaixing, would you have had anything to eat?!"

"I just asked you for two pieces to fill your stomach, but look at what you have done!"

"Hurry up, don't force me to do it!"

Qiu Zhizhong was very indignant when he saw Xiao Lang's current expression. He pretended to be angry and raised his hand to snatch it.

"Wow! What's going on? Just rob it now!"

"You asked me to bring it to you. Did you pay for it?!" Xiao Lang turned the tables!
"Ah, yes! What else?"

Zhizhong was slightly stunned, but he could not lose in momentum, so he stiffened his neck and retorted.

"Go away, come on!"

"Chang Ting has already confessed! He said he just stole Liu's stuff for free!"

"I even gave him a lecture for that."

"How could you violate discipline and steal food from the people?!"

"We are a regular army, a serious team!"

"If you want to eat the common people's food, you have to pay!"

"I told him very clearly that this will not happen again. If there is a next time, he will be punished according to the law and will not be let off lightly!"

"As for this package!"

"Then it should be confiscated! As the commander, I have full authority to deal with it."

"You, you, you're trying to smack me. I'm telling you, don't try that on me!"

"You want cakes? You want your life? Don't you agree? If you don't agree, let's practice here!"

"If you can snatch it away, you can eat it!"

Xiao Jingchuan pushed three, four, and five people, his face full of roguery and arrogance.

"Old Xiao, you... you, how can you be so shameless?!"

Qiu Zhizhong was speechless and choked.

While the two were fighting over cakes at the gate of the yamen, the distribution of grain had already begun at the alley not far away!
Those people who got the food rushed home happily. Along the way, the other cautious people who were still waiting and watching, seeing that such a good thing could come true, gradually let down their guard and rushed here from all directions, making the scene more and more lively!
