Huangguwei.
The night was deep, and the entire village was silent.
Looking around, the houses were simple, mostly built of wood.
Fortunately, this is in the south, so it's not too cold.
Looking at the sparse houses in Huangguwei, most of which were near fields, Gu Shisan finally understood why Uncle Mo had let them into the village without any worries.
The houses of the local people are far apart, making them quite secluded at night.
The house was very simple and empty; there was no one inside.
Gu Shisan replied that Mo Shenglan's son went to sea two years ago, encountered a storm, and died at sea.
Now, Mo Shenglan is all alone, with no one to rely on.
Looking around, Gu Shisan ordered in a deep voice, "Lin Xiang, your group will be on duty for the first half of the night. Zhao Hu, your group will be on duty for the second half! Everyone else, get some rest!"
With the order given, the members of the thirteenth squad also began to rest.
The next day, Gu Shisan, along with guides Mo Shenglan and Huang Yongjing, first visited tenant farmers in Huangguwei to learn about their situation.
After getting to know her for a while, Gu Shisan was convinced that what Mo Shenglan said was true.
Most of the residents of Nasuo Town are tenant farmers of the Huang family.
The tenant farmers also lived in extreme poverty.
After a conversation, Gu Shisan also learned that if the Huang family could be defeated, the tenant farmers would be very supportive.
However, Gu Shisan still did not rush to take action.
In the following period, Gu Shisan went to nearby Jiangping Town and Naliang Village to learn about the situation.
The situation in these places is very similar to that in Nasuo Town.
Having confirmed this, Gu Shisan also ordered preparations for action.
Huangguwei, Mo Shenglan's family.
Gu Shisan, Lin Xiang, Zhao Hu, Mo Shenglan, Huang Yongjing, and others were all seated.
Looking at everyone, Gu Shisan said, "After this period of investigation, we have basically figured out the situation in the vicinity."
There are only about a hundred constables in the entire Yong'an Prefecture. The nearest garrison is the garrison of Qincheng Prefecture, but it only has a little over a thousand men.
It can be said that the enemy forces in the entire Qincheng Prefecture were extremely weak.
Therefore, we must take a long-term view!
My plan is to take Yong'an Prefecture in the first battle and establish a major rear base there!
"Good, we should have done this a long time ago!"
Lin Xiang nodded and said, "Captain, our forces are weak here. In my opinion, we can even take Qincheng Prefecture directly!"
Both Qincheng Prefecture and Yong'an Prefecture are located by the sea.
With Qinzhou and Yong'an Prefecture under our control, once we establish the docks, our logistics will be readily available. Then we can easily catch Li Ming and his crew off guard!
"good!"
Gu Shisan smiled and nodded, saying, "That's exactly what I was thinking too. Let's take Yong'an Prefecture first and establish a port!"
Immediately, Gu Shisan and others discussed their action plan.
Gu Shisan and his men did not take the hundred or so constables of Yong'an Prefecture seriously.
After all, the thirteenth squad alone has nearly two hundred people.
Moreover, each of these two hundred people is an elite among elites.
The small Yong'an Prefecture is naturally no match for it.
"Brothers,"
Looking at everyone, Gu Shisan said, "Since we're going to fight, let's fight and make a name for ourselves!"
We need to let Li Ming and his men know that the threat they face isn't just from the North, but also from the South!
"Come with me to Nasuo Town, where we will invite the Prefect of Yong'an to discuss matters."
"Lin Xiang and Zhao Hu, you two take advantage of Yong'an Prefecture's vulnerability, lead your troops into the city, and capture Yong'an Prefecture!"
After the order was given, Squad Thirteen began its operation.
Gu Shisan led his men toward Nasuo Town, with tenant farmers from Huangguwei following behind the thirteenth team.
The group arrived in Nasuo Town in a grand procession.
Nasuo Town was indeed bustling.
The area relies on trade along the Huangzhu River and has a large population.
However, most of the shops on the street belong to the Huang family, which is enough to show how powerful the Huang family is.
As soon as Gu Shisan and his group entered the city, they caused a commotion in Nasuo Town.
"King Xin?"
Pedestrians on the street frowned as they looked at the large flag raised by Gu Shisan and his men. "Where did this Prince Xin come from?"
"Prince Xin? Is that Prince Xin from Dongning?"
"That's impossible! Dongning is a long way from here, how did they get here?"
"That's true. But why are these people using Prince Xin's name?"
...
People on the street were talking about it.
Gu Shisan made no attempt to hide his origins.
On the contrary, he publicized it extensively.
"Fellow villagers, we have been sent by Prince Xin of Dongning! We are here to uphold justice for you!"
The loud voice echoed through the streets of Nasuo Town.
The people's eyes lit up, and they were somewhat surprised.
"It really is Prince Xin of Dongning!"
"I've heard that Prince Xin of Dongning is very kind to the people. He distributes land to them and even exempts them from taxes for five years!"
"Really? Now we're saved too!"
...
Gasps of surprise erupted from the crowd.
"Fellow villagers, the army of Prince Xin of Dongning has come to arrest the Huang family. The Huang family has committed many evil deeds, and now they are getting their just deserts!"
Mo Shenglan shouted loudly.
The people looked surprised, then applauded and cheered.
"Let's go to the Huang family!"
Gu Shisan led the group toward the Huang family.
At this time, the Huang family also received the news.
Huang Yunxiang, the head of the Huang family, paled drastically and said in terror, "Are you telling the truth? Are there rioters coming to raid our Huang family?"
"Yes, sir!"
A follower, panting, said, "Those people leading the group seem to be some kind of Prince Xin of Dongning..."
