Changli County, seaport.
Fully armed soldiers stood in neat rows on the dock.
One of the soldiers in the group looked at the endless sea and asked, "Captain, where are we going? Why are we taking a boat?"
"Don't speak!"
Captain Gu Shisan coldly retorted, "What's the military discipline all about? Obey orders and follow commands! Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!"
"oh."
The team member nodded.
Lin Xiang, a member of the Thirteenth Squad, remained silent and obediently boarded the merchant ship with his weapons and equipment.
After boarding the ship, Zhao Hu, another member of the 13th squad, leaned against the gunwale, looked at the familiar Changli County, and said, "I don't know when we'll be able to come back from Changli County this time!"
"After pacifying Jiangnan and recovering the Great Gan Kingdom, I will be able to return!"
Captain Gu Shisan said in a deep voice.
Once aboard, he looked at the other nearby ships.
Other special operations teams were also boarding nearby ships.
Last night, Gu Shisan received an order from He Chaojun, and a group of squad leaders came to the tent to participate in the meeting.
During the meeting, Gu Shisan learned that His Majesty had given them another arduous task.
That is to continue leading the special operations team members to infiltrate other places, mobilize the people, arm the militia, and pave the way for the main force to move south.
Gu Shisan and his team had done this task once before and were very experienced.
Therefore, Gu Shisan agreed immediately.
More than a dozen special operations teams located near Changli County, Qian'an County, and Yuguan City all assembled and headed south.
Gu Shisan and his thirteenth squad were assigned to Guiling Province.
After receiving the mission, Gu Shisan also took the situation manual given to them by the staff officer and began to understand it.
Guiling Province, located in Lingnan, is densely forested and plagued by miasma, making conditions exceptionally harsh. Moreover, the hot and rainy weather in Guiling Province is particularly difficult for the northerners to endure.
Despite the harsh conditions, Gu Shisan did not back down.
He always knew that he was a soldier.
He is a soldier under Dongning's command!
Soldiers should naturally take obeying orders as their primary duty!
Fortunately, Qingyu Trading Company and Sunji Trading Company provided each team with two guides.
These guides were their main reliance when traveling to Guiling Province.
After boarding the ship, Gu Shisan looked at his comrades on the nearby ships.
"Fourth brother,"
Gu Shisan saw Zhao Shuisheng, the captain of the fourth squad, and called out, "I looked at the map last night, and our destinations aren't far apart. Once we're settled in, we need to look out for each other!"
"Thirteenth Brother, we still need you to look after us!"
Zhao Shuisheng, the captain of the fourth squad, chuckled and said, "Your thirteenth squad is very experienced, remember to help out our fourth squad."
"Fourth brother, we're unfamiliar with Guiling Province, let's help each other out!"
Gu Shisan replied.
At this moment, the merchant ship raised its sails and sailed into the open sea.
"Tenth Brother, take care on your journey!"
Zhao Shuisheng, the leader of the fourth squad, waved his hand and shouted loudly.
"Fourth brother, see you at Guiling!"
Gu Shisan also replied.
Merchant ships broke through the thin ice on the sea and sailed toward the endless ocean.
Spring hasn't arrived yet. In Dongning, the sea is still frozen solid. It's so cold that you could stand on it and not even be able to sail.
However, Changli County is located in the far south.
The thin ice floating on the sea could not stop the powerful force of the merchant ships.
The merchant ships sailed south, and the journey was rather dull.
Besides training the team members every day, Gu Shisan spent his time looking at information about Guiling Province.
Or you could chat with the two guides.
After chatting all the way, Gu Shisan had a general understanding of the situation in Guiling Province.
The situation is not optimistic!
No matter how bitter or difficult things get, Gu Shisan is not afraid at all.
February of the first year of Yanning.
The merchant ship arrived at a makeshift dock at the border between Annam and Guilin Province.
There was no one around; it was extremely secluded.
In the distance, a dense forest blocked out the sun.
The lush green trees surprised every soldier who came from the north.
You know, in the north at this time of year, the trees are withered and yellow, and the land is covered in ice and snow. You wouldn't find a scene like this here.
"Pack your things and get off the ship! Quickly!"
Gu Shisan gave a cold shout and led the members of the Thirteenth Squad off the ship with their equipment.
After taking all the items, the captain walked to the ship's side, looked at Gu Shisan, and said, "Captain Gu, take care on your journey!"
"treasure!"
Gu Shisan clasped his hands in a fist salute and replied, then led the thirteen members of the squad forward along the mountain forest.
After walking for dozens of miles, everyone was panting heavily.
The thick cotton-padded coats brought from the north have long been taken off.
However, the dense mosquitoes in the mountains and forests made Gu Shisan and the others suffer greatly.
Fortunately, the guide, Mo Shenglan, had experience in surviving in the mountains and forests. He picked some unknown herbs, instructed the soldiers to chew them up, and then apply them to their skin.
After applying it, it was indeed effective.
Mosquito repellent.
"Uncle Mo, it's not far from here to Nasuo Town, is it?"
Looking at the mountain road in the distance, Gu Shisan asked, "It's getting dark. Will we be able to get there tonight?"
"Captain Gu,"
Mo Shenglan looked up at the sky obscured by the jungle and replied, "We can get there! Let's rest for a while before we set off again!"
