Chapter 101 Probe
Dong Dahai lay in the bushes, chewing the grass roots, looking at the small but majestic Ryukyu Palace in the distant moonlight, frowned and wondering.
When was the Forbidden City moved to this small island? Look at the momentum, the appearance and the vermilion wall are exactly the same as the place in Yanjing City! If it hadn't been for the Japanese soldiers standing guard at the door, I would have thought I had arrived in Yanjing!
"Is this the overseas courtyard of the Qing Emperor? A good place to hide Jiao in the golden house?
"No wonder the young master fell in love with it! It turns out that it is to use this palace to hide the beauty!" Dong Dahai patted his thigh secretly and praised. Good place! He is worthy of being a young master. How did he know that there was a treasure?!"
Dong Da came out of the wormock grass in his mouth, crawled down again, and turned his head to several people around him who were also observing the palace. The strange-eyed night eagles made a few gestures before quietly retreating.
Soon, Dong Dahai and several night eagles retreated into the bushes. Seeing that they had avoided the sight of the Japanese sentry, Dong Dahai straightened up, took out a bamboo clip from his arms, and gently pressed it a few times.
Kaka...
After the bamboo clip made a few soft sounds, the surrounding trees squirmed one after another. In less than a while, thirty or forty soldiers in black and carrying rifles slowly surrounded them.
Looking at these nervous and stiff rookies, Dong Dahai frowned slightly, but soon regained his composure. He turned his head and looked at the direction of the palace, and his eyes flashed.
A few years ago, he didn't know that Ryukyu was the pimple at all, but since he was selected to enter the night eagle and went to Chile with the young master, his eyes gradually opened up.
In addition, I went to Cuba later. Under the teachings of Li Enfu, I gradually understood the world map and learned that the sea was so vast. How boring it was to live fishing on the coast of Liaodong in the past! Especially when he saw the Ryukyu Palace, which is similar to the Forbidden City just now, he felt that it was an eye-opener. He didn't expect that there was such a similar palace in the world!
"Why don't you give incense to the dead German who caught me, thank him?" There was a slight crack in the corners of Dong Dahai's mouth.
Compared with Liu Guishan, who has a big mouth, he has been much more stable over the years, and with the expansion of the Nighthawk, he has become the captain of the second team, but he has lost the opportunity to go to Liaodong this time. He took dozens of veterans who have just joined the Nighthawk to train on Oahu Island.
Originally, it was a pity, but I didn't expect that the young master ordered him to bring five night eagles and the good players selected by the first division reconnaissance company to this place similar to Hawaii.
He didn't quite understand the meaning of the general situation of the young master and Mr. Li, and he didn't know whether the young master really wanted to return to the chaotic Qing Dynasty. With his vision, he could only see that Ryukyu and Japanese were squeezed together, just like two door gods sticking on the door panel, blocking the waterway of Hawaii to Liaodong. Since the young master sent the night eagle back to Liaoning. If you don't take the task in the east, then if you don't take the place and defeat the Japanese version, you can't talk about the stable control of this territory!
This may be the reason why the young master sent the night eagle back to Liaodong and then sent him here. As for why not let him take the veterans who have just entered the Nighthawk, but with a reconnaissance company of the first division? Dong Dahai didn't ask, and he wouldn't ask!
The duty of soldiers is to obey orders! Especially the night eagle, they have long been beyond the status of ordinary soldiers. From the moment they entered the night eagle, they have regarded soldiers as a profession in their lives. According to the young master, they are called professional soldiers!
Dong Dahai doesn't know much about this new term. He only knows that he can't be like the eggs of the first division in his life. After five years of service, he can choose to retire and go home. Instead, he must eat with the barrel of the gun for the rest of his life!
But he doesn't regret it. He doesn't know a few characters, and he doesn't like others who can calm down and be a small worker, so being a soldier can be said to be the best choice. Besides, he also likes this exciting life!
Seeing that all the scouts selected by the first division were surrounded, Dong Dahai couldn't help frowning again. Obviously, these rookies still didn't know the rules. They were surrounded by tasks behind the enemy, and they didn't know how to arrange people to guard around! Fortunately, several night eagles who came with him saw that something was wrong and made a few gestures one after another. They quickly picked up the rifle with a scope, and the cat's waist was scattered, occupying the best warning point.
Several reconnaissance company officers were wondering what the gestures frequently used by the night eagle meant. Suddenly, they found that the night eagles led the operation dispersed earlier. Only then did they remember that they were too nervous and forgot to arrange a little bit, and their hearts suddenly tightened.
Seeing several old guys grab their seats, Dong Da pulled out a weed and stuffed it into his mouth again. He didn't mean to blame the young scouts. After all, compared with the night eagles who received professional training, the group of scouts who imitated the formation of the first division were still too bad! Just like just now, I forgot to set up the guard post because of nervousness. If it is placed on the night eagle, it will definitely be a major mistake!
The scouts looked at the strange gestures used by the nighthawks to communicate in surprise, and watched them skillfully spread their vigilance, and couldn't help blushing secretly. Especially a few officers who thought they were veterans and had been trained for a few days when Nighthawk recruited people, they even scolded themselves. How could they even forget the most basics!
"Relax, it's like this for the first time." Dong Dahai smiled and patted several officers on the shoulders and comforted them gently, "When I killed people for the first time, I almost peed my pants."
"Hehe..."
"Brother Sea, what did you mean by that gesture just now?" An officer asked about the gesture between the night eagles just now, and the soldiers around him were immediately full of thirst. For them, if they could learn two tricks from the night eagles, it would be worth the price of this mission!
"It's nothing. It's all made by ourselves. When it's inconvenient to talk, use gestures instead." Dong Dahai said vaguely that in fact, sign language communication was also just emerging in the year of the night eagle, taken from the special forces training outline compiled by the young master, but this is also one of the secrets of the night eagle, and it is not convenient for him to say more.
"I'll tell you again."
In the face of a pair of envy and eager eyes, Dong Dahai didn't want to talk nonsense, but in order to make the scouts on the first mission remember, they had to take out their pocket watches and take care of them again: "This mission starts from the palace in front of you. There are a total of 40 of you, divided into five groups, and they will lead the team." Pointing to the night eagle guarding around, he said with a serious face: "As for your mission to come here, I explained it when I was on the boat! I'll say it again here. Since the young master asked me to bring you here, it shows that he has a fancy here!"
"What we have to do is to figure out the layout of the soldiers here in half a month, write down the detailed number of people and deployment, and take them back to the young master!" Dong Dahai continued to encourage: "If you can enter the reconnaissance company and be favored by the young master, it shows that you are all good players! I also believe that you can complete this task! Don't be afraid of tension, don't be afraid of problems! They will all teach you!"
"I don't like nonsense! Let's go now and gather here in half a month! If anyone falls behind, hehe..." Dong Dahai looked at his watch, pulled out the grass root in his mouth and smiled, "Don't be afraid. If you chew hay here for a few days, maybe our army will arrive."
"Of course, the last reminder is to be alert to me during the mission, but don't burn the palace. Our young master is still going to marry the young lady here."
Hehe...
The last few words made the soldiers laugh in a low voice, and the tension in their hearts was slightly relieved.
"Check the equipment and go!"
With Dong Dahai's words, the soldiers immediately began to check the equipment, and then divided into five groups. Under the leadership of a night eagle, they scattered around the palace and disappeared into the vast night.

"Mom! Don't worry, I'm sure I can find something in the next few days. Zhang Zuolin looked at his mother's sister, swallowed dryly, pushed the door and went out.
Liaodong in early autumn has begun to get cold, and the north wind is getting into his neck. Although he promised to find a job in a few days when he goes out, Zhang Zuolin is not sure at all.
Since my veterinary school was smashed by others, it has been almost three months. Although I ran to find a job, Haicheng and Liaodong have become more and more chaotic these years. How can I find the right job so quickly?
The strong wind made the street look much colder. Zhang Zuolin wrapped his jacket tightly and prepared to go to his master Yang Jingzhen first to see if he could introduce him to a job, so as to help the two brothers lighten the burden.
Suddenly, a pair of young people passing by attracted his attention.
"Brother, you really want to go!"
"Bullshit, five taels of silver a month, and food and accommodation. Why don't I go to such a good thing!"
"But brother, will they lie to you? I heard that many people in the south were cheated out to go out to mine, and finally they couldn't come back even if they died.
"No! I know the recruit Uncle De. He used to run the sea. After he didn't grit his teeth and came back for two years, he became the boss! I heard that it was the big boss above who asked him to recruit people this time. There were dozens of sea boats alone. Didn't you see Uncle De stuffing his own children into the sea boat last time? If he went to mine, would he do it like this?!
"Brother, why don't you go first and I'll think about it again..."
"All's it, don't talk about it! Our brothers are alone. It's time to go out and break in. Do you still want to stay here and continue to suffer from the cold? The older young man pushed his younger brother and walked to the end of the street.
"Five taels of silver per month?" Looking at the two brothers passing by, Zhang Zuolin sucked his nose and followed closely. When he followed the two people around a few streets to a warehouse, he found that there was already a sea of people outside the door, and most of them were young and middle-aged people.
After many years of minglinger on the street, he quickly took time and squeezed into the front of the crowd.
"Uncle De, can you really take care of your family?" The one in the front looked at the 40-year-old shopkeeper with glasses behind the table and shouted.
"Yes." Uncle De raised his eyes and explained with a smile, "Parents can take it, and my mother-in-law can take it!" But they don't have a pay, and they have to support themselves wherever they go!"
"Uncle De, I heard that there is also a mother-in-law who can do something there?"
"Yes! My eldest daughter-in-law cooks for others in the shipyard, which is also five taels of silver a month! But there is not much work."
"There are also five taels of silver for cooking? Uncle De, you're not fooling us, are you?"
"Bullshit!" Uncle De smiled and narrowed his eyes and said proudly, "Do you see the three sea boats by the sea? That's my boss. If you are willing to go, I will immediately let them take you to see my big and small son! But you have to do it as soon as possible. He will go to Great Britain next month!"
"Hang..., go to Great Britain!"
"Yes, our uncle De's eldest son, but he was favored by the boss and wanted to be sent to England to learn shipbuilding technology. Ha ha, when I come back after a year and a half, it will be dozens of taels of silver a month!" The clerk next to Uncle De copied the list and said proudly.
"Gunnie! Dozens of taels!"
The atmosphere of the people queuing up is even stronger, and even Zhang Zuolin is a little moved. Now the world in the chaos of Liaodong is not peaceful. If it is really as good as the other party said, it is better than staying here and waiting for death! Besides, he also knows that the three big ships have been running here for the past few months, at least they have pulled thousands of people. If there is something fishy, they dare not accept people so openly, right?
Just as Zhang Zuolin was thinking about it, he didn't know what Uncle De said later. The crowd crowded again, and the people who were still watching just now suddenly crowded forward and asked the clerk to write their names on the book.
"Do you sign up?" Unconsciously, Zhang Zuolin was pushed to the front, and the little guy Runrun raised his head and asked.
Zhang Zuolin originally just wanted to see the hustle and bustle, but he didn't expect to be squeezed to the front. In addition, when he heard about Uncle De's introduction just now, he was also a little moved, but when he thought of his mother and weak sister, he was still a little uncertain.
At this time, suddenly there was another questioning voice in my ear: "Uncle De, I heard that there are not only workers, but also soldiers! Is that so?"
"In the army!" Zhang Zuolin moved half of his body and asked the people behind him to register first, and he looked up. The question was asked by a young man in his early twenties, who looked similar to his own clothes and was a little depressed.
When Uncle De heard the question, he shook his head in his eyes and said, "I don't know about this, but if you really have this idea, you can wait and ask when you get there."
Although Uncle De shook his head, he did not hide the meaning of his words from Zhang Zuolin. After hearing this, the young man also moved his body slightly and squeezed to the front: "Ok, just ask your Uncle De's words. I'll sign up. My name is Sun Jiugong. It turns out to be a horse dealer and good at riding and shooting."
"Good. Write it down! Sun Jiugong is good at riding and shooting. After Uncle De asked the little man to write it down, he smiled and said, "Well, the big ship will go to sea in three days. If there is a mother-in-law, you can take it with you."
"We are alone." Sun Jiugong laughed and turned his head and ran out of the crowd.
Seeing Sun Jiugong leaving, Zhang Zuolin thought for a while, pushed away the people around him and walked to the man: "Can you really take your family?"
"Yes!" The little guy didn't look up and replied.
"Good. Count me in. My name is Zhang Zuolin, with my mother and sister, and... both brothers are also written first. Looking at the little guy, Zhang Zuolin gritted his teeth and watched the pen fall quickly.
