Volume A, Chapter 18: Always Faced (Additional Update for the Leader of the Huowa Alliance)
"There's no point thinking about this now, what should we do now?" Feng You shook his head, still looking out through the observation hole.
The yard was still very lively, but there was a stone mill across the road, so after people came to search and inspect it once or twice, no one came here anymore, and there was no risk of being discovered.
"I wonder what the guards were doing when they left the city? Ordinarily, when the guards left the city, there would only be a hundred or ten people left in the city, right?" Feng You was also analyzing.
"There are at least thousands of thieves entering the city now. Even if they are just a mob, if they want to take Brick City, they can kill the hundred or ten guardsmen by relying on the crowd. Why do these guys stop moving forward?
Is it because I’m afraid that I won’t be able to defeat them and will lose my men and horses in vain?”
Having fought against the Tatars in Datong for so many years, Feng You was still very familiar with military affairs, and he also understood the situation of the garrison at the inland garrison.
Except for the coastal guards in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which still have some combat effectiveness because they need to fight against Japanese invaders, the guards in other inland areas are really powerful but have a false reputation. A guard post can have three to five hundred soldiers under its command who can be used.
Very rare.
"I don't think it's that simple." Feng Ziying thought for a while, "Since you want to rebel, how can you be afraid of losing people? The White Lotus sect is used to confuse people's hearts and incite ignorant men and women to serve for it. Although this brick city is tall, but
If we launch an attack from both the southwest and the southwest at the same time, it will probably take less than an hour or two to capture it, and how many people will be lost?"
"Brother Keng, what do you think is weird here?" Feng You rubbed his chin, becoming more and more curious and surprised by the changes in Brother Keng.
"Uncle You, have you noticed? There are several problems here. First, there are some differences between this gang of bandits and the rogues in the city, as well as the ordinary laborers and kiln workers. They need to be much more disciplined, and
They also have their own rules, such as holding sutras, meeting the head, and passing the head, which clearly represent their internal hierarchy, and can be regarded as their internal division of labor."
Feng Ziying's words also slowed down a lot. At this time, Jia Yucun and Xue Jun also quietly came to the edge of the stairs, listening to the conversation between Feng Ziying and Feng You.
"With such a weather, I'm afraid it will become a climate. It is not difficult to capture this brick city. What's more, they can accurately understand the time when the guards leave the city. They may even be the ones who mobilized the guards. If they really want to attack
How is it possible that we can't take down a brick city that is only guarded by a hundred or ten people?"
Feng Ziying's speaking speed also became slower and slower.
During this time, he also learned some about the Linqing Guards' situation from Zuo Liangyu, and also got a rough idea of Linqing Zuojin's situation. He also began to restore the logical thinking in his previous life, and began to use the thinking of people of this era.
Think about problems with conceptual thinking.
"Brother Keng, what do you mean..." Feng You's hand movements while rubbing his cheek became slower and slower.
"It can only explain two possibilities. Either they still have internal differences about whether to build a brick city, or they are still waiting for something." Feng Ziying said carefully.
"There are differences? What are you waiting for?" Feng You was puzzled, "This is a rebellion, so what are the differences? Who are we waiting for?"
"Uncle You, we know this little thing now. We can only infer based on this little thing. As for what the differences are and who we are waiting for, we don't know." Feng Ziying said in a low voice, "I see
Their voices were rising and falling in the inner courtyard room, and they were obviously arguing about something, but they couldn't hear exactly what was said."
"Brother Keng, what do you think we should do now?" Feng You was also a little anxious, "We can't just stay here forever, right? God knows when these damn gang will leave?"
Feng Ziying also hesitated.
He felt that the behavior of this group of White Lotus cult bandits was also a bit strange.
Even if the Lifu kiln workers and scoundrels in the city are not on the same side as them, with the people they brought in from outside the city, it shouldn't be a problem to take over Brick City.
For those kiln workers on the edge of Linqing City, Lifu is no longer of much use to them once they enter the city. It can be seen from some of the actions of Zhao Cangsong just now that these White Lotus Cult bandits are still patient, but why are they patient?
, it’s hard to say what the plot is.
No matter how superb his wisdom and his sharp thinking, the problem is that he came to this world not long ago. Even if he inherited the memory of Feng Ziying, a boy under twelve years old, even if he has family reasons.
Influence, it is really difficult for him to say how much he knows about the various internal affairs in this time and space.
Although Feng You is also capable and reliable, he mostly followed his father to fight in Datong. He has a little knowledge of the situation in the DPRK, but he may not know much about the "social conditions and public opinion" in Shandong, and may even be worse than others.
Go up to this boy Zuo Liangyu.
The problem is that Zuo Liangyu, because of his age, can only have some superficial perceptual cognitions. No matter how deep things are, he himself cannot explain clearly.
Lowering her head and thinking hard, Feng Ziying accidentally saw Jia Yucun and Xue Jun, who also had anxious and nervous faces, and Feng Ziying's heart moved slightly.
He had the impression that when Jia Yucun sent Lin Daiyu to Beijing in "A Dream of Red Mansions", it was already the time when he passed the Jinshi examination and was awarded an official position for a period of time before being dismissed for being greedy.
This guy is a fan of officials. He served as a prefect for a period of time, and even when he was working as a tutor for Lin Daiyu, he kept abreast of the situation in the DPRK. Wasn't it just through chatting with Leng Zixing that he learned about Lin Ruhai's background?
Is he working so hard to teach his daughter for Lin Ruhai, just because he wants to use Lin Ruhai to help him connect and gain access to the Jia and Wang families?
This guy has been immersed in the officialdom, and he probably has some skills. He dares to be cruel, but he has no ability. He may have been unlucky and met a certain iron-faced censor.
This guy has passed the Jinshi examination in Beijing. He is also keeping abreast of the situation in Beijing and court at the Lin family's house in Yangzhou. He must have always wanted to plot a coup. I am afraid he has some understanding of the social and political conditions in various places. Maybe he can also
I know something about the situation in Shandong.
There is also Xue Jun, he has also asked, he should be the father of Xue Baoqin.
According to "A Dream of Red Mansions", this guy should be a short-lived ghost. He will die of illness in a few years. He will live less than a few years longer than Xue Pan and Xue Baochai's father. Why does it seem that this guy's physical condition is not bad now?
ah.
According to what is written in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions", Xue Jun traveled all over the country to do business, and even Xue Baoqin followed him to many places. He had a lot of experience, and maybe he could also understand the situation in Linqing.
"Master Jia, Mr. Xue, what do you two think we should do now?"
Feng Ziying withdrew her gaze from the observation hole, fell on the two of them, and said slowly.
At this time, neither Jia Xue nor Jia Xue dared to treat him as a child anymore. Feng Ziying's previous performance was enough to convince people.
"Now we need to work together and work together. Bandits are entrenched outside, but we don't know what their intentions are. They neither attack Brick City nor go to fight elsewhere. Do you have any opinions?"
