Chapter 364: Underground Storage of Generations of Materials
As night fell, the battle finally came to an end, and the people of the walled city poured out to help clean up the scene and treat the wounded.
Due to Chen Mu's appearance, the city seemed to be a small victory, and the atmosphere became a little more relaxed, with a smile on everyone's face.
Hei Guhong and others were also very excited, and they praised and thanked Chen Mu for a long time.
However, Chen Mu was a little worried.
"Guy, if it is like this in the future, the British believe that they will soon retreat!"
"Where did you get so many sharpshooters? Tsk, I didn't pay much attention to it in the past, if it weren't for this time, we wouldn't have known that there was also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the community outside! ”
"Isn't it, in the future, Hall Master Chen will have to help us introduce us, such a talent, nesting in the mouth of the small hall will be condescending."
The command post was full of optimism and cheerfulness after the victory, but Chen Mu frowned and looked solemn.
"Guy, I had to give up yesterday, but you are full of fighting spirit, and now that you have won, why are you worried?" Black Guhong asked suspiciously, and everyone also looked at Chen Mu.
After looking around, Chen Mu finally spoke.
"Although we won one game, it was too wasteful earlier, and the ammunition stock was already running out, and if we continue to fight, we will lose ......"
"Although I have planted sniper sharpshooters on the periphery, they are scattered, and they can only fight guerrillas, and they can only distract the attention of the ghosts, but they can't contain too many troops."
"It's hurt to beat them today, tomorrow the ghosts will inevitably attack in a big way, and the firepower will be even stronger, how can we not hold on......"
As soon as Chen Mu analyzed this, Hei Guhong and the others were also silent in an instant, and the atmosphere of loss dispersed again.
Because they all know in their hearts that what Chen Mu said is the truth!
Maybe it was today's victory that made them forgetful, or maybe they didn't have the courage to think about these issues at all, just like an ostrich that buried its head in the sand, and forced Chen Mu to pick it up.
In the end, the black bone red is the mountain master, whether it is temperament or temperament, he is calm enough, and immediately asked Chen Mu: "What do you think the little guy should do next?" ”
Chen Mu looked at Fu Qingzhu, and Lao Dao also shook his head, as if there was no countermeasure for the time being.
After pondering for a long time, Chen Mu finally said to the black bone red: "I thought earlier that the reason why the British did not include the walled city in the terms is because the walled city is not only not valuable, but requires them to pay a lot of financial resources and manpower to manage it, and the input is more than the output, and they don't want to suffer." ”
"But now they want to take over the walled city, also because they see the potential value of the walled city, because Tai Po and other places are unwilling to be included in their management, and even rebelled en masse, and a large number of people poured into the walled city, bringing vitality to the walled city, and they are thinking about the walled city again."
"As long as the management of Dapu and other places is formalized, and the population of the walled city is outflowed, the walled city will change back to its original state, and they will have little interest."
"But this situation will take time, and tomorrow they may have to raze the walled city, and they won't be able to solve the urgent need at all......"
Chen Mu can be regarded as analyzing the original and original, and everyone is aware of the root of the problem, but as Chen Mu said, far water cannot quench the thirst of the near, and how to get through the current hurdle is the biggest trouble.
After pondering for a long time, Chen Mu finally asked cautiously towards the black bone red: "Mountain Lord, you should be prepared to have a back road, right?" ”
The black bone-red face also became solemn, because he could already vaguely see Chen Mu's intentions.
"You want to go?"
Chen Mu nodded: "Yes, as long as we all leave, leaving an empty city, the ghost guy will come in and take a look, and he will no longer be interested." ”
It was an empty plan, but it was by no means intended to scare off the British, but to disappoint them.
The walled city can be said to be the worst sanitary environment in Hong Kong, and the construction of the walled city is not planned, like a rotten sore on a beauty, if there is no one inside, it will lose all value.
However, these are just wishful thinking on the part of Chen Mu, if the British do not abandon the walled city, everyone who escapes will be homeless.
After Chen Mu said all his thoughts, Hei Guhong also frowned.
He was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Little guy, do you know why the walled city is so dirty? ”
Chen Mu knew that because the drainage system of the walled city had been paralyzed, sewage flowed sideways, which was one of the main reasons.
Black Bone Red also no longer sells Guanzi: "Although the walled city is old, it is not that there is no drainage system, on the contrary, the underground drainage system is very large, but it is ...... It's just that we've blocked up the sewers......"
Chen Mu knew that there was a way back for the black bone red, but he didn't expect it to be a drainage system!
"If it is not blocked, the drainage system will play a role, and the environment of the walled city will not be so bad, why should it be blocked in the first place?"
Hearing Chen Mu's question, the black bone red looked around, and finally spoke.
"Actually, we didn't block it, we already blocked it when we took over the walled city......
"Who blocked it?" Chen Mu became interested.
Black Guhong lowered his voice: "The question is not who blocked it, but when it started to block it......"
Chen Mu was even more confused, and Hei Guhong didn't explain much, and said to the entourage next to him: "Help me up." ”
Chen Mu raised his hand, signaled his entourage, stepped forward himself, and helped the black bone red.
"I'll take you to see it."
Sun Youlin hurriedly stepped forward to replace Chen Mu, and almost walked forward with black bone red half-supported and half-hugged.
This place is very secretive, it should be the biggest secret of Heiguhong, so no one else is allowed to approach and follow, only Chen Mu and Fu Qingzhu and others follow.
Chen Mu finally understood that as the mountain owner of Hehetao, why Hei Guhong still chose to live in his cramped room.
Because the entrance to the drainage system is right in his home!
The huge entrance was under his bed, and when he opened the bed, he lifted the floor to reveal the copper ring, and when he lifted the heavy stone cover, there was a fresh and pleasant smell rising from the ground, dry and free of damp mold.
After carrying a few lanterns, everyone followed the black bone red to the bottom.
The underwater passage is even higher than the roof outside, and the underground is spacious and dry, without the slightest smell of filth.
What made Chen Mu and the others even more shocked was that there were a large number of materials hidden underground!
"After we took over this place, we found that almost every city lord was storing supplies here, so as usual, there was no unblocking of the underwater system, and this can be said to be an emergency shelter."
Chen Mu looked at the piles of supplies and couldn't help asking, "How long can the emergency supplies here last?" ”
Black Bone Red pondered for a moment, as if calculating.
"It could have lasted for a year, but now that the population of the walled city has surged, it can last for half a year......
Chen Mu nodded: "If the people in the walled city are gone, the British will be suspicious, and if they find here, then they will have to serve it in a pot......"
Black Guhong looked at Chen Mu: "What do you think should be done?" ”
Chen Mu looked around and said what he thought.
"The old and weak women and children can hide here, and I will go out with the conflict of life and combat power to create the illusion of breaking through, so that I can deceive the ghosts."
"The ghost guys have suffered a defeat today, they are arrogant and expensive, they will definitely rest, the garrison is weak, we will concentrate all our forces to attack one place, it should be easy to open the gap, then the movement will be smaller, block the news, and throw all the sundries in the city everywhere, creating the illusion of transfer."
Chen Mu said all the strategies, and everyone was also considering the feasibility.
Fu Qingzhu took the lead and supported Chen Mu.
"Lao Dao thinks that this plan is feasible, but the action must be as fast as thunder, quickly break through the blockade of the ghosts, and destroy their way to report the news, so as to have enough time to create an illusion......
Hei Guhong also nodded and said: "I also think I can do it, but at the moment I am incapacitated, someone must coordinate the overall situation, you have to obey Chen Mu's arrangement, if you can do it, then do it, if you can't do it, then everyone will wait for death in the walled city." ”
Hei Guhong still wants to hand over the command to Chen Mu, and the words have come to this point, either obey Chen Mu's command, or sit and wait for death, where is everyone still hesitating.
At this juncture, Chen Mu no longer shirked.
"Okay, since the mountain lord trusts me so much, then I'll do my best!"
Black Bone Red shook his head: "No, now you are the mountain master!" ”
After saying this, Hei Guhong took out a small copper seal and solemnly handed it to Chen Mu.
"Let it go, whoever disobeys Chen Mu's discipline and dispatch will be a public enemy, and everyone will be punished!"
Chen Muben just wanted to take over temporarily, but he didn't want to be the owner of the mountain, so he immediately pushed the copper seal back.
"Big brother, this is just an expedient measure, I don't want to be a mountain master......"
Black Bone Red has been operating in the city for so many years, and it is the most suitable candidate for the mountain master, if Chen Mu takes over as the mountain master at this time, it is taking advantage of the danger of others, and it is impossible to convince the public, not to mention that Chen Mu does not have the idea of being the mountain master.
"No, it's not right, if you want to act in unison, you must have the right to speak, I'm abolished now, the old and weak women and children in the city will be handed over to me to take care of, if I don't sit here, they will mess around below, and the savings of several generations of city lords will be abolished......"
Hei Guhong even said such a reason, where could Chen Mu refuse, so he had to accept it.
"Okay, then I'll take over for the time being, and after this difficulty, I'll return it to the eldest brother."
After receiving the copper seal, Chen Mu stopped being verbose, let people convey it, and each of them sorted it out, preparing to go into the ground to hide.
Chen Mu, Fu Qingzhu and others gathered the young and strong people together to plan a breakthrough.
Since the family will be properly accommodated, and their actions will be related to the success of the overall program, there is no need for incentives.
If they can't break through, they can't deceive the British, and the family members hiding underground will also be found out, so everyone cheers up.
Chen Mu climbed to the top of the city today and saved the tide of the battle, letting them see that the British ghost guy was not invincible, so he didn't have too much dissatisfaction with Chen Mu.
Of course, Chen Mu is now the acting mountain master, and Hei Guhong personally confirmed it, so there is no controversy.
Everyone acted separately, prepared separately, and worked for most of the night, seeing that in the second half of the night, Chen Mu finally led these people to the north of the city!
