That night, the Red Flower Society divided into the lobby, and the heroes who had gone to various places had returned, and the previous arrangements had been successfully completed.

Just wait for the third watch in the middle of the night, and raise a fire in the city, Xu Yang's arrangement will show its power.

What the specific effect is, even Xu Yang himself is not clear.

But not surprisingly, the looting of military rations stored in the city was not a big problem.

When Xu Yang was wandering around the city during the day today, he had already verified Hongday's troop arrangements with the help of the golden finger of the navigation system.

Unlike what everyone saw, Hongyang did not have many troops at the city gate.

The focus is on two places, the place where Hongday is located is, of course, the top priority, and the other is the treasury of Lanzhou Prefecture.

Lanzhou Mansion is a poor place, how much grain will there be in the treasury?

Obviously, at this time, in addition to the people's fat and ointment that were exploited by corrupt officials on weekdays, the main thing stored in the treasury was the batch of military rations.

Hongday belongs to the vanguard of grain and grass first, the real imperial army is still thousands of miles away, if they can dispose of the grain and grass before they arrive, then there is no need to fight, the military spirit of this army will be chaotic.

No grain and grass is not an army, today's Qing army is not the Mongolian cavalry of the year, you can not only feed the enemy, but also hunt for a living, after a group of eight banner soldiers entered the customs, they quickly became old soldiers, there is food and pay may not have combat power, no food... Wash up and go to bed early.

All the people of the Red Flower Society gathered in the hall, just waiting for the drum to sound in the third watch.

Hongtian was also waiting, no matter what, he didn't believe that anyone in the Red Flower Society would be able to see through his plan, they didn't come last night, or maybe they just chose to be cautious because of the failure last time, they will definitely come tonight.

The Book of Mountains and Seas had been turned over by him several times, and now he was lying quietly on the desk, while Hongyang was watching a pair of calligraphy.

The notebook was specially written to him by his emperor Ama during his lifetime, and there are only six words in total.

"When facing a big event, there is calmness. (Note 1)

His biggest problem has always been that he can't sink his mind, so Yongzheng specially wrote this painting to him.

He always carries it with him to motivate himself.

This time, he felt that he was already very productive, and his mind was very calm.

At this time, it was already the third watch of the drum, and in the quiet middle of the night, there was only the sound of Hongday's breathing in the entire study.

However, it was not long before the noise of chaos outside could be heard.

These guys who don't grow up, Hongday also has a lot of complaints about his subordinates.

This group of subordinates has not been recruited for a long time, and naturally they are not as good as the previous group of people.

Slowly, there is no one available.

Thinking of this, I inevitably thought of that Xu Yang again, and my teeth were a little itchy.

Suddenly, someone broke into the study, Hongday clenched his hands into fists, could it be someone from the Red Flower Society?

Seeing that the person who came was not from the Red Flower Society, but Yin Fulin of Lanzhou Mansion, I saw that he looked flustered, and the words shouted out by a mouthful of Beijing films instantly made Hongday's heart sink completely.

"And the prince, there are arsons outside, victims outside the city gather, rumors spread, saying ......"

"What do you say?!" Hongtian was furious, was this a trick to fish in troubled waters or to watch the fire from the other side?

"They said that the imperial court had allocated relief food, but it was intercepted by corrupt officials in the treasury of Lanzhou Prefecture, and they wanted to rush in and let the defenders open the city gates......"

"It's the other way around!" Hongtian's heart was already a little confused at this time, this disaster victim was counted in 100,000, and how many troops were there in the entire Lanzhou Mansion? plus the people in the rivers and lakes under his command, it was only a few thousand, and even if you added the officers and soldiers in the Yellow River camp hundreds of miles away, there were only less than 10,000 people, how could this be stopped?

Not to mention, how can you stop it? Kill people when you see them? That is the obedient people under the rule of the imperial court, and their requirements are just the food that wants to die, is this request excessive?

How can Hongtian still be calm at this time?

Just as the plan he designed was a conspiracy, the Red Flower Society would definitely be successful, and the current siege of the disaster victims was also a conspiracy.

He couldn't help coping, and he couldn't cope.

Hongtian even thought about simply distributing military rations as disaster relief food.

However, this is impossible, if he does this, the army will inevitably mutiny without food, and there will inevitably be ministers in the DPRK and China who will impeach him and buy people's hearts with military rations, and his heart will be punished.

Qianlong will definitely believe this kind of thing.

When the time comes, what you will face is the catastrophe of destruction.

No king would tolerate his brother buying people's hearts.

The more brothers they are, the more intolerable they are.

I didn't expect that there would be such a ruthless character in the Red Flower Club?

This is not even a way to live, and I am not ready to leave it for myself.

However, while Hongtian was still calculating, another guard rushed in in a hurry, and the new news he brought made Hongtian fall into the abyss.

"There are thieves in the city who raise fire and open the west gate, and the victims rush into the city, and the garrison has limited manpower and cannot stop it!"

If he didn't care about his reputation, the most important thing for Hongtian to do at this time was to set fire to burn that batch of military rations, even if he couldn't use it, he couldn't let the thieves use it to buy people's hearts.

However, he eventually hesitated.

These people, after all, are all obedient people of the court on weekdays.

"Send men at once to kill those thieves, and not to harm the civilians. This was the only thing Hongyang could do, and he sent all his men out.

As for his own safety, Hongtian is not worried, he always has a backup move.

At least there is no problem with self-preservation.

However, when he sent all his men out, another guest came to his study.

The moment he saw this guest, he finally understood where he had lost.

He didn't lose unjustly.

He didn't even know that Xu Yang had come to Lanzhou Mansion for such a big thing, if he didn't lose, who would lose?

Hongyang smiled bitterly and said, "Are you here to take my life?"

Xu Yang had previously arranged for the people of the Red Flower Society to surround the city guard, and as long as someone killed them, they would be solved secretly, and he assigned the caravan to attack the treasury, and he wandered into the mansion leisurely, just to see Hongday.

"Where do you come from? You're a good man. First issued a good person card to Hongday, and then Xu Yang continued to smile and said: "If you just ordered the burning of military rations, then no one can save you tonight, but your choice makes me very satisfied, at least you are not the kind of royal family that has no humanity, so you are safe." ”

Hongday's fists clenched again, his last hole card is himself, he has learned martial arts since he was a child, and believes that his martial arts are not weaker than any first-class master in the rivers and lakes, but no one knows these on weekdays.

However, Xu Yang was in front of him, this guy who had defeated himself and now defeated himself again, for some reason, Hongyang couldn't afford to kill him at all.

Or maybe it's sympathy.

If you weren't royal, you should be able to be good friends with him?

However, it is useless to say anything at this point.

Note 1: Every major event has a calm atmosphere, this sentence was said by Weng Tonggong, a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty, but it is very suitable for the current Hongday, so here it appears in advance.
