Chapter 34: The Praying Mantis and the Yellow Sparrow

"Okay, I got it. “

"In addition, send another team of people, disguised up, to Bao Zhilin to guard, especially at night, be on strict guard, there can be no slightest problem, if my expectations are good, soon, the Shahe Gang will attack Bao Zhilin, and the Xinghuang Gang headquarters, you can't relax your vigilance, understand?" Li Changsheng said solemnly.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem. Wu Pengnian nodded, and then couldn't help asking: "However, Deputy Gang Leader, isn't the Shahe Gang taken into custody? Even if the Admiral's Mansion won't embarrass them, they won't be able to get out in a short time, why are you so guarded?"

Hearing this, Li Changsheng smiled and said with a determined face: "Then you can underestimate which of our Admirals, he is now like a hyena chasing food, as long as there is a little opportunity, he will pounce on him, intimidated by the power of our Xinghuang Gang, on the surface, he does not dare to make any moves against us, but behind the scenes, it is not necessarily." “

"The Shahe Gang has an enmity with us, in order to deal with me, nine times out of ten, which Admiral will choose to join forces with Hong Huayang, if it is not as I expected, within a few days, the people of the Shahe Gang will be quietly let go, and they will even get the funding of the Admiral to deal with us, and their target is either Bao Zhilin or the Xinghuang Gang, so I will let you guard these two places and don't have problems." “

Hearing this, Wu Pengnian was even more puzzled, and couldn't help but look at Li Changsheng, "Since you guessed that they might join forces, why did you still let Lord Admiral capture the people of the Shahe Gang, isn't this letting the tiger return to the mountain, clearly creating an opportunity for them?"

"I'm just going to give them that opportunity. “

"Clams?" Wu Pengnian was dumbfounded, creating an opportunity for the enemy to join forces against him, if it weren't for Li Changsheng who was standing in front of him now, he really wanted to ask, did you have a funny brain. After all, if it was an ordinary enemy, he could still think that this was planning to kill them all, but the key was that one of these two enemies represented the imperial court, unless Li Changsheng planned to rise up and rebel directly, otherwise, it was impossible.

Looking at Wu Pengnian's sluggish expression, Li Changsheng couldn't help but smile and said, "I know, you are very confused, but the matter is just as I said to my senior brother, Lord Admiral has made it clear that he wants to find me trouble, so just now, we can only beat the Shahe Gang at most, and we will not let them lose anything." “

"Our power is based in Foshan, once the Shahe Gang returns to Foshan, it will be beyond the reach of the whip, if he colludes with the Admiral, we will not know at all, and when the time comes, we will only fall into passivity. Therefore, I deliberately provoked Lord Admiral, so that he had to take away the Shahe Gang and create an opportunity for them to cooperate, so that although they cooperated, because they were in the Admiralty's Mansion, our every move was monitored, and we took the initiative and could deal with it calmly. ”

"What's more, there is another important reason why I keep the Sand River Gang, that is, to use the power of the Sand River Gang to achieve my goal. ”

"What purpose?" Wu Pengnian hurriedly asked.

"Now, with the batch of muskets sold to us by foreigners, in terms of thermal weapons, we are not completely without combat effectiveness, the production workshop, with the books I brought and the dismantling of the musket to observe the structure, it is said that we have begun to simulate the construction of guns, so that in the future, we Chinese people can also make muskets themselves, but the battle does not rely on muskets, but also artillery. ”

"If muskets can still be bought from foreigners in various ways, it is impossible for any foreigner to sell artillery to us, and we can only rely on ourselves to get the manufacturing method of artillery. As far as I know, in the Admiral's Palace, there is one of the largest artillery casting places in Huaxia, but the defense is tight, and I don't know where it is, this time, I plan to take the Shahe Gang, with the help of the Shahe Gang, to explore the place where the artillery is cast, if you can, it is best to find a few cannon casting masters to enrich our workshop. ”

"This kind of thing involves too much, and if one is not careful, it will be a catastrophe, and the entire court will be operational, so we can't interfere in this matter. But the Sand River Gang is different. “

"Once they cooperate with the Admiral, the Admiral will definitely give them support, and when the time comes, these supports will be the best way to deal with the Admiral's Mansion, do you think, once there is a problem with the casting of the artillery, and this problem is still due to the Admiral's own strength, will the Admiral report it, or hide it?" Li Changsheng asked meaningfully.

Wu Pengnian's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "If it is because under normal circumstances, whoever uses the artillery, the Admiral will definitely report to the imperial court, and when the time comes, the entire imperial court will be operational, and no one will be able to stop it." However, if it is because of the Admiral's own strength that the artillery is used, in order to avoid being implicated, the Admiral will definitely put up with this matter, and when the time comes, the deputy gang leader will be able to secretly Chen Cang and study the artillery, I understand, I understand, the Sand River Gang is not only used by you to control the movement, but also used to catch the hook that the Admiral took the bait. ”

"Yes, it's good to know, okay, hurry up and prepare, I think, it won't be long before there will be news." Li Changsheng said with a smile.

Knowing Li Changsheng's plan, Wu Pengnian didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, as soon as he thought that the Xinghuang Gang was about to have artillery, the whole person became excited, and he couldn't wait to run out and arrange it himself.

As Li Changsheng expected, within two days, someone discovered that a group of people from the Admiral's Mansion took advantage of the night to quietly run out of the back door, one by one, still riding horses, carrying bows and arrows, and heading in the direction of Bao Zhilin.

After getting this news, Li Changsheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed loudly: "Okay, military horses, bows and arrows, these are all ironclad evidence, Brother Wu, you immediately take people, follow me to Baozhilin, and take down a group of people from the Shahe Gang in Hong Huayang for me, Huo Yunting, Huo Yunting, there is a way in heaven for you not to go, and there is no way for hell to vote, this time, I really want to thank you." ”

Saying that, Li Changsheng immediately led people towards Bao Zhilin, and when they came to the vicinity of Bao Zhilin, they saw a group of black-clothed people, riding on horses, holding bows and arrows, surrounded by the gangs of the Xinghuang Gang, holding spears, forming a battle formation, unable to move, even if they shot the bow and arrow in their hands, they would be blocked by the shield, as the gun array became shorter and shorter, the people on the horses became more and more impatient, some were anxious, and wanted to break out of the encirclement, but they were instantly pierced by several spears, fell to the ground, and died can no longer die.
