C1594 Search for pigeon keeper (1/2)

The pigeon house was located in the southwest corner of the manor. It was a small courtyard surrounded by a black wooden door. Perhaps the war had disturbed the pigeons, but before Old Lin and co. even reached the door, they heard a bunch of cooing sounds.

A group of soldiers at the door held their hands together, not knowing what to do. Old Lin scolded angrily, ”Fuck, have all of you turned into idiots? What was going on? ”Could it be that the pigeons are all gone …?”

”Sir!” ”The pigeons are still there, but they're gone …”

He rushed into the yard and looked around him. He saw hundreds of pigeon cages lined up in rows, flapping their wings in the white, gray, and flower patterns.

There were many pigeons, and 80% of the cages were full, but the person who kept the pigeons was gone! All the pigeon cages here were unlabeled, and no one knew which cage was in charge of which route.

The defense zone of the Black Dragon River was very large. There were special messenger pigeons responsible for sending messages to important towns at the border, defensive fortresses, Shengjing and Beijing. They also arranged for a separate number of messenger pigeons to be sent according to the importance of the message.

Raising pigeons was a delicate process, but why did pigeons recognize their way through animals' instinct? A pigeon that grew up in a place could only be called a pigeon after flying thousands of miles away and returning home accurately. Only after more than ten successful experiments could it be considered a pigeon.

For example, if you wished for the carrier pigeon to fly from Qiqihar to Shizheng, then the pigeon must have been raised in Shizheng. However, when it became an adult, it was brought to the pigeon house in Qiqihar.

Similarly, there were pigeons that were responsible for sending information to the Qiqihar. Of course, they were raised here as well.

Without the pigeon keeper to differentiate them, people could not tell which route these pigeons were on. They were even less clear on which pigeons were kept here until now.

The key point of the entire operation was on the carrier pigeons. If the Shizheng did not get the news that the Qiqihar had succeeded in transforming into a soldier in time, then the Hun Chun and the Sister Wu who had only brought six hundred people with them would not be able to control T?pchin at all.

Even if you choose to execute the plan, to suddenly ambush T?pchin and capture him alive at the banquet, you will still not be able to capture all the high ranking generals of the Shizheng alive, nor will you allow tens of thousands of guards to follow his orders.

At that time, if they couldn't stop the Cossack from crossing the river, even if the mutiny was successful, it would be meaningless.

”Damn it! Damn it … How could he lose the pigeon keeper! Find... Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you still have to find it! ” Old Lin howled like a madman.

At this time, one of the main disciples in the crowd suddenly spoke up, ”Why don't we!? How about we tie information on the feet of all the carrier pigeons and let them fly together? I think that at least one or two of them should be flying towards the Shizheng right? ”

”You idiot!” Old Lin rushed up and slapped his head, ”Are you a pig!?” Are you a tiger! With so many carrier pigeons, there must be people flying towards the Shengjing and the capital. Do you think it's too late for them to find out? ”Is it …”

”My lord, please calm your anger, please calm your anger!” ”I was wrong. I'll go and look for it now. I'll dig out three feet from the ground and find it for you as well …”

”Stop!” Vice General Lin suppressed his anger at the critical moment, forcing himself to calm down.

”We'll split into two groups. The first group will bring along the steward and the oldest servant of the General's Estate to the corpses. There will also be some wounded soldiers inside to identify them …” First, let's make sure that pigeon keeper is not dead after all! ”

”The second team, head out of the north gate and check with the hidden sentry to see if there are any suspects in the people who are escaping!” We have to first determine whether this person is dead or alive, whether he is in the mansion or has already fled into the city … ”Go on!”
