Li Xiao looked at Yuan Baozhong in disbelief!

The Ming Dynasty’s intelligence agencies have not found out the information. Can you find out?

Could it be said that your kid's intelligence system is more powerful than Luzhu's?

"Commander! That's it.

The chieftain camp is not monolithic.

Two days ago, a guy named Gongga Tusi came to surrender."

"Surrender?" The word "surrender?" sounded new to Li Xiao, and it seemed that there were some sensible people among the toasts.

"yes!

The chieftain named Gongga knew that they could not fight against the imperial court with their own strength.

So, he fled and surrendered."

"It can't be a fake surrender, right?" Li Xiao said doubtfully.

Even though these people are uneducated, the more uneducated they are, the more damn sincere they are when they deceive others.

"No! They have laid down their weapons and provided a lot of information about the rebels."

"Oh!" Li Xiao nodded in relief.

This kind of information is considered battlefield intelligence. No matter how powerful Luzhu is, he can't detect such information.

"The one who attacked Nanning this time was the chieftain led by Yang Xiong from Yangjiazhai, Liupanshui, Guizhou. They are known as the 72-hole chieftain!

There are almost 100,000 troops!"

"With seventy-two caves, there are 100,000 people?" Li Xiao didn't know much about the villages in 100,000 Mountains.

However, there seems to be not enough supplies in the mountains. How can they feed so many people in a mountainous area where the sky is never clear and the ground is not even three feet flat?

"Oh, they also held hostage many people from other places.

The mountain people lived in poverty, and they captured Liuzhou and robbed a lot of good things. Therefore, many people followed them to make a fortune and wanted to come to Nanning to grab some."

That's right! Li Xiao also felt that the mountains could not support so many people.

"With a hundred thousand people, I'm afraid they don't have that many weapons. I heard that many rebels have returned to their hometowns.

There is also a part that occupies Liuzhou, how did they get so many weapons with so many people?"

The source of the rebel weapons has always been something Li Xiao has wondered about.

“In this rebellion, there were chieftains from the Miao village, some from the Zhuang village, and some from the Dai village.

The people you mentioned who dispersed and returned home are mostly chieftains from Dai Village.

These people live in the deep mountains and think it is enough to grab some rice, flour, cloth and the like.

The people who occupied Liuzhou were the chieftains of Zhuang Village. Because it was relatively close to their village, they wanted to occupy it for a long time.

The ones who came to attack Nanning were the chieftains of Miao Village.

When these people saw that Zhuangzhai occupied Liuzhou, they felt that they should also occupy a big city. So, they set their sights on Liuzhou.

As for the source of weapons!

Part of this is based on seizures since the rebellion, as long as the weapons seized are weapons from the local security forces.

There are also some local security forces that have directly defected to the rebels.

The other part is the weapons scattered when Nanming retreated.

These weapons are very old, but they are now the mainstay of the rebel equipment.

However, the elite of the rebels are equipped with standard rifles, which are said to have been smuggled in from overseas over the years."

"Smuggled in from overseas?" Li Xiao's eyes widened.

He couldn't figure out who had the courage to sell arms to the Ming Dynasty.

"Yes! There are ports in Guangxi, whether it is Qinzhou or Beihai, they are both deep-water ports.

Over the years, the imperial court has invested a lot of money to build a dock there. Ocean-going ships can dock there without any problems."

Li Xiao curled his lips, I built the damn port to boost the economy. Not to allow these guys to smuggle and import weapons from abroad.

"Do you know which country you got the weapons from?"

"Everyone has been making money these years, except for the Dai, Miao and Zhuang villages in the mountains, who all have businessmen going overseas to do business!

It is said that someone has already set up business in the British North American Territory.

Some of these weapons come from North American territories. Others come from European countries.

Although there were many countries that sold them weapons, but... they were all sold to them by Hebrew merchants.

The State of Israel even sold them anti-aircraft guns and an unknown number of mortars."

"What a bastard!" Li Xiao cursed.

But it’s still pretty good, it’s just that these are still light weapons. I didn’t get two howitzers after all!

Come to think of it, howitzers are considered heavy weapons. Qinzhou also has a shipping department. It is estimated that no matter how much bribes are required for such a thing, those bastards in the shipping department would not dare to let them transport it in.

"That Gongga also said that the rebel leader Yang Xiong got two cannons from nowhere. It is said that the bombardment was earth-shattering. The city wall of Liuzhou was destroyed by such cannons."

Li Xiao was shocked, damn it.

"What kind of cannon?"

"According to the pattern he drew, it looks like a howitzer. But this guy doesn't understand anything. Even if you ask him carefully, he doesn't know.

According to him, he also watched from a distance and never observed it up close."

"Arrange for me to meet this Gongga immediately!" Li Xiao nodded.

Many of those toasts have never gone to school. Even those who have gone to school are still reading the Four Books and Five Classics.

The modern scientific knowledge in their heads is horribly barren.

Seeing Gongga, Li Xiao stared at this guy.

Before Gongga could speak, Li Xiao ordered the guy to be locked up.

He was only given food and water every day, and no one was allowed to get close to him.

"Commander! What are you...!" Yuan Baozhong once promised Gongga to ensure his safety.

Li Xiao did this, which made him somewhat distrustful of others.

It can be seen that this guy is a person who values ​​reputation. Otherwise, he would not have any say in the people Li Xiao asked him to pass.

"Haha! Just wait a day or two, I want to hear the truth." Li Xiao smiled and shook his head and looked at Yuan Baozhong, who was confused.

"...!" Yuan Bao said, how dare he lie to you?

"Don't you see?" Li Xiao put away his smile and looked at his commander.

"What?" Yuan Baozhong looked confused.

"This guy is thin, his face is sallow, and you didn't notice this guy's eyes were dull.

Moreover, this guy has an unpleasant smell.

All signs indicate that he is a senior swallower.

Lock him up and don’t let him whimper. When the time comes, whatever you ask him, he will say what he said.”

"The handsome man is wise." Yuan Baozhong was extremely impressed. He really didn't realize that this guy was actually a big swallower.

But this cannot be blamed on Yuan Baozhong, because Ming Dynasty has a strict anti-smoking policy. No one dares to sell duck slices to Ming Dynasty!

If you are caught, you will really be beheaded.

"What I'm curious about is how he could be such a big eater. Could it be that there are still people smuggling duck slices in this place in Guangxi?"

One problem is solved, but another problem arises.

"Commander!

No one dares to smuggle duck fillets. Anyone who dares to do this will be beheaded if discovered.

No one is ever an exception!

Even the descendants of my family, I have repeatedly warned them not to touch this thing.

However, those country chieftains... the court had no control over.

They grow duck fillets, usually deep in the mountains.

We Han people have very few mountain residents, and even if we do have them, we are related to them. Without someone to guide us, our officers will not be able to go up the mountain at all.

There is a lack of medical treatment and medicine in the deep mountains, so people often use duck slices for medicinal purposes.

The miraculous effects of this thing are often spread among the people, not to mention the barbarian mountain people, even the Han people.

I also often get some smoke gourds and the like!
