Guo Tai looked at the other enemy hunting soldiers in the hall and hesitated slightly.

Shen Xiaoshan frowned and said, "Why, you can't even trust your own brother?" ”

Guo Tai hurriedly explained: "Hey, since I started this business, my mother is suspicious all day long, and she even has to open one eye when sleeping with women, which is about to become sick!" ”

The other Enemy Hunting Divisions in the hall nodded in understanding. didn't mind because of Guo Tai's hesitation.

Shen Xiaoshan sighed: "We people are destined to be different from ordinary people, do our business, if you don't pay attention to it, you will lose your life, in addition to the commander, the only people we can believe in are brothers who get along day and night, and our old brothers from Huluyan should especially trust each other!" ”

Guo Tai and Niu Er, Xie Wu, Liu Rongsheng and several other core figures of the Enemy Hunting Division in the hall nodded incessantly.

After Shen Xiaoshan finished speaking, he pointed to the charcoal fire and said, "Guo Tai, talk about the situation of the governor's yamen with the fire." Niu'er, you go and get Guo Tai something to eat, Xie Wu, Liu Rongsheng, and a few of you will come to roast the fire. ”

Guo Tai moved a chair and sat next to the charcoal fire and said: "When you sit next to the charcoal fire, you want to eat the dominating hot pot." As he spoke, he looked fascinated.

Shen Xiaoshan raised his foot and was about to kick over, and said in his mouth: "Let you tell me about the situation found today, what are you doing!" ”

Guo Tai hurriedly dodged and said, "Aren't I hungry!" Don't kick, I'll talk about it! ”

Shen Xiaoshan asked, "Where are those Western craftsmen?" ”

Guo Tai Zhengse said: "It hasn't been detected yet." The governor's yamen is much larger than the Pingdu Zhizhou yamen, and I and a few brothers dressed up as wardens, and only figured out the road topography between the Yimen and the lobby in half a day. Around the lobby are the offices of the six-room wardens and the governor's staff, but there is no trace of foreign craftsmen. ”

Speaking of which. Seeing Niu Er sitting on a sea bowl of steaming pot noodles into the hall, Guo Tai rushed over with an arrow. took the sea bowl from the cow's hand, squatted directly on the ground, snoring, and stuffed his mouth full.

Shen Xiaoshan glanced at Guo Tai and shook his head, and instead lowered his head and thought carefully about the situation mentioned in Guo Tai's words, looking for useful clues from it.

It stands to reason that the governor's office should occupy two-thirds of the entire area of the office from the door to the lobby, and then the second hall, the back hall and the back house of the office, which occupies one-third of the office.

The lobby area of the government office is concentrated in the archway, the list corridor, the drum tower, medicine, the general shop (express shop) the warden's hall, the six departments of the chief office, the staff room, etc.

It is a place where various departments of the government office and officials, craftsmen, officials and their families live and rest, and at least a few hundred people live in this area.

The foreigners summoned by Sun Yuanhua to develop firearms and artillery, they should be placed in this area to live and live, maybe Guo Tai didn't find it in a hurry, Shen Xiaoshan secretly thought.

In the blink of an eye. A large bowl of popping pot noodles was swallowed by Guo Tai snoring, just like a wind and clouds, Guo Tai wiped his mouth and said to Niu'er: "Is there any more, another bowl!" ”

Niu Er took the sea bowl and walked out, jokingly: "If you are full, you must be careful not to break the belly of the dog!" "Several people in the hall have similar status in the enemy hunting department, so they don't have much scruples about joking with each other.

Guo Tai pursed his lips and returned to the charcoal fire, and continued to tell Shen Xiaoshan about the situation in the governor's office.

Feng Jian did not ask about the Western craftsmen, but instead asked about the topography of the governor's yamen, and Guo Tailian said with an analogy. Described to Shen Xiaoshan, and at the end Guo Tai said: "Boss, tomorrow I will take a few more brothers to infiltrate the governor's office, and find a way to infiltrate the back hall to investigate." ”

Shen Xiaoshan shook his head and said, "A few of you who showed up in the governor's yamen today. Don't show up tomorrow, so as not to attract the attention of the officials in the governor's yamen, and tomorrow it will be a group of brothers to re-enter the governor's office to investigate. ”

Guo Tai frowned and said, "Boss." I always felt that it seemed very difficult to take those foreign craftsmen away on the day of the rebellion, and the four gates of Dengzhou must have been closed urgently during the rebellion. The outside is attacked by chaotic troops, and the defenders inside the city must desperately defend. If we 100 people want to get out of the city easily, we will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and if we don't get the foreigners out of the way, we will be put in by ourselves. ”

In fact, Shen Xiaoshan also had this concern, but he had never questioned Feng Jian's order, and at this time, listening to Guo Tai's solemn proposal that the timing of saving people was inappropriate, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Xie Wu, Liu Rongsheng and others frowning and thinking.

Shen Xiaoshan said slowly: "It is indeed not the best choice to rescue the foreign craftsmen on the day of the siege of the city, what are the tricks of the few of you?" ”

Guo Tai's mind had been wandering for a long time, and when he saw Shen Xiaoshan asking, he said: "According to the commander's prediction, the rebels should capture Dengzhou City on the ninth or tenth day of the first month, and there are still more than ten days before today. I estimate that with the news of the arrival of the rebellion, the gates of the four cities will also be strengthened, and entering and exiting this Dengzhou City will inevitably be strictly investigated, and the more time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us to hunt the enemy, so we must cut through the chaos quickly, and the sooner the plan is implemented, the more beneficial it is. ”

Liu Rongsheng saw Shen Xiaoshan frowning and thinking, so he suggested: "Boss, we might as well report the current situation and our new plan of action to the commander, and ask the commander to decide, which is also better than blindly implementing the previous plan!" ”

Xie Wu nodded and said: "We entered the city from the gate of Zhenhai Gate at noon, and we all saw the tall and majestic Dengzhou City, the height of the Dengzhou city wall is at least three zhang, and the thickness of the city wall is about three zhang. If the city gate is closed, needless to say, flee with foreign craftsmen, it will be difficult for us to escape from the enemy hunting division itself. Therefore, while Dengzhou City can still enter and exit freely, it is the best policy to execute the plan in advance and leave Dengzhou City quickly with the goal! ”

Shen Xiaoshan nodded and said, "I also agree with the plan of a few of you to fight quickly, and I will personally report to the commander later, now the key is how to quickly find out the whereabouts of the foreign craftsmen." ”

Guo Tai said: "This is too simple, since we are ready to fight quickly, let my brothers find a warden to threaten and lure, and they will definitely be able to find out the whereabouts of the foreigners, and then we will reconnoiter the terrain and directly take these people away, so that the people in Dengzhou City have no time to react." When Dengzhou City is occupied by rebels, I believe these foreign craftsmen will understand. ”

Shen Xiaoshan said in a deep voice: "Then it's decided, Guo Tai, you, Niu'er, and Xie Wu stay here, don't take any action for the time being, Liu Rongsheng and I will go back to Shuicheng to report to the commander." ”

Guo Tai and Xie Wu bowed down at the same time to agree, and Guo Tai also joked: "Go and come back quickly, take the foreign craftsmen back to Pingdu earlier, Lao Tzu Xinna's concubine is still waiting at home!" ”

Shen Xiaoshan ignored Guo Tai, turned around and said to Liu Rongsheng: "Old Liu, let's go back to Water City." Saying that, he walked out of the hall quickly, and Liu Rongsheng agreed and followed Shen Xiaoshan to the place where the war horses were kept in the courtyard......

Guo Tai sighed to Niu Er and Xie Wu on his side: "Shen Tou'er will not hesitate to solve the matter that Shen Tou'er recognizes, and will solve it cleanly, my old Guo Ke has a deep understanding of this, and ...... last time in Mocone Mountain."

In a blink of an eye, he saw the fried pot noodles in Niu'er's hand, so he didn't care about speaking, and swallowed it in a big gulp. Niu Er said on the side: "Lao Guo, you must have been reincarnated as a starving ghost in your last life." He laughed with Xie Wu as he spoke.

In the cabin of Feng Jian in Dengzhou Water City, Feng Jian frowned and asked Zhuang Yingchang: "You said that if the weather is cold, the water surface of Denglai Water City may freeze!" ”

Zhuang Yingchang's face was a little heavy and said: "Let's Denglai Water City is connected to the Liaohai Sea, the water surface is constantly flowing, and the water surface will not freeze in general cold weather, and the winter weather has become cold in the past two years, and there will be occasional freezing in the Water City." ”

If when Kong Youde's rebels captured Dengzhou City, the water surface of Shuicheng suddenly froze, resulting in all ships being unable to sail away, and it would be difficult for Feng Jian and all the officers and soldiers of the Zhou Xun Battalion to be trapped in Shuicheng, then the problem would be serious!

Feng Jian suddenly felt that he had imagined things too simply, and always thought that he would take the opportunity to benefit from it by relying on his prediction of what was going to happen, but he did not think that he should analyze the time, place, and people before taking a major action.

This time, the conspiracy to seize the ships of the Dengzhou Navy Division was beneficial to Feng Jian in terms of geography, people and people, but the time of day was not something that could be controlled by manpower.

When the time comes, God will suddenly freeze all the ships of the Naval Division, not only will Feng Zhen's plan to seize the ships of the Dengzhou Naval Division fall through, but even he himself will fall into the hands of the rebels.

At this moment, Feng Jian suddenly had an urge to lead the Zhou Xun Camp boat back to Pingdu!

Thinking about it, I feel very unwilling, from the opening of the Jiaolai River and the transfer of Dafu ships by Sun Yuanhua to the state flood camp, Feng Jian began to plan the ships of the Denglai Naval Division, so as to avoid these ships falling into the hands of Kong Youde's rebels, in history, Kong Youde's rebels were driving the Denglai Naval Division's warships to carry a large number of Hongyi cannons and Western artillery manufacturing experts to surrender to Houjin, and became a sharp weapon in the hands of Houjin!

The small state flood battalion trained 2,000 officers and soldiers of the water division at once; reuse the original two generals of the Fu boat, Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai; Scattered to the vicinity of Denglai at night to check the terrain and draw a map.

If you are so well prepared, how can it be wasted because of the cold water and the freezing water! Feng Jian has a risky factor in his bones, the more dangerous and difficult things he has to take risks to complete, this time the boat is no exception, even if the water surface is frozen, there will always be a solution!

Feng Jian took advantage of Zhuang Yingchang and asked: "You just said that in the past two years, the water surface of the ships docked in Shuicheng has occasionally frozen, has there been a situation where even the entire waterway has frozen?" ”

Zhuang Yingchang shook his head and said: "The freezing is limited to the area of the Water City, and the waterway connects the Liaohai Sea, even if it freezes, it is difficult to freeze the water surface. ”

Feng Jian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that the waterway is unblocked!" In previous years, when the water surface froze, what measures did the Denglai sailors take to break the ice? ”

Zhuang Yingchang said with a wry smile: "As long as there is no important trip, the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division often break the layers around the ship to prevent the ice from damaging the hull, and as for the rest of the frozen positions on the water surface of the Water City, they will ignore it, and wait until the ice melts on its own in the spring of the next year!" ”

Several people in the cabin suddenly felt that the matter was tricky, and Cheng Yousheng said: "Just send the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division to inspect day and night, and once you find that there is ice, you will immediately send someone to break the ice." ”

Zhang Wentai shook his head and said: "This move is not realistic, not to mention whether it can be effective to let the soldiers be on duty day and night, even if we find that the water surface is frozen, we two or three thousand officers and soldiers of the water division will not be able to remove the frozen water surface of the entire water city, so the gains outweigh the losses!" ”！！！ (To be continued......)
