Chapter 259 We Are Good People, Don't Spread Rumors
As early as early October last year, Li Yang was sent to Fujian Province by Cui Xiuning, with the mission of lurking at Pu Shougeng's mansion.
Although Li Yang is an outstanding student of Cui Xiuning and officially graduated in August last year, because Pu Shougeng is a Semi-sama and is born with a sense of defense towards the Han people, it took Li Yang four months to successfully get into the Pu family as an undercover agent.
Cui Xiuning said: "Li Yang first made friends with Pu Shougen's son through roundabout tactics, so he finally got into Pu Mansion and became a deacon and retainer of the Pu family."
"Li Yang replied that there were hundreds of deacons and retainers of Pu's family, most of whom were Seme. He was a Han man, young and had just entered the palace and could not become Pu Shougen's core retainer. Therefore, Li Yang devoted his energy to Pu Shougen's son, and put a lot of thought into it, and finally got the core information of the Pu family."
After Cui Xiuning explained, she handed over a piece of paper, "You can take a look at the information about Fuzi I just sent."
Li Luo opened it and saw that it was written on it:
"Pu Shougeng, a man from Semi, believes in a certain religion. He is 75 years old and still has a strong body. Although he has nearly a hundred wives and concubines, he still takes concubines, not like an elderly person. This person is cunning, suspicious and fickle, and he is not reflected in his emotions. Everyone in the city and the state are afraid..."
"Pu Shougeng had more than fifty sons and more than a hundred grandsons, and the population was extremely prosperous. However, his descendants relied on power and were rampant. Pu's crimes were abusive to Quanzhou and poison southern Fujian, and all the people were too jealous."
"Pu Shougeng believed in a certain religion, and his temples were everywhere in Quanzhou. However, those who did not believe in the city were heresy, persecuted and slaughtered, cruel and cruel."
"Pu Shougeng controls southern Fujian and dominates the Minhai Sea. He commands hundreds of Haiyao merchant ships and countless land and mineral stores, and can compete with the country. He also leads nine thousand navy troops and more than three thousand private soldiers."
When Li Luo saw this, he couldn't help but smack his tongue: "Good guy, there are three thousand private soldiers alone, so that's a big fuck!"
Although Pu Shougen led tens of thousands of naval troops, it was not his personal force, but the government army of the Yuan Dynasty. However, these three thousand private soldiers were private armed forces raised by Pu Shougen. He did not want to rebel, so he raised so many private soldiers to be a blessing.
Li Luo continued to watch.
"Quanzhou is a great success, with a strong city wall, and a difficult attack. There are three thousand soldiers and horses in the city, three thousand private soldiers of the Pu family, and nine thousand navy troops outside the city, with strict military preparations."
"The Pu family's huge house has high walls and deep moors, and is very prepared. Two thousand soldiers are stationed outside the walls of the house, and one thousand soldiers are stationed inside the house. They are coordinated with internal and external defenses, checks and balances within and outside, just in case."
"Pu Shougeng was cunning. In case of precautions, he secretly built an authentic tunnel in his house and left the city, leading to the coastal private port. If there is any change in the city, he can leave the city through the secret tunnel and board the boat to escape. Because the information of the passage is unknown, the students can only leave the city on the excuse and go to the Pu family private port in secretly to investigate in the middle of the night, and speculate that the exit of the secret tunnel should be within a large mansion by the sea."
"On the second day of the fourth month, it is Pu Shougeng's 75th birthday. At that time, guests gather and frequent entry and exit, so they will inevitably be relaxed. In the opinion of students, it is a good opportunity to take action... The students also drew a drawing of Pujiawu Fort for the teacher to refer to."
After reading it, Li Luo smiled and said to Cui Xiuning: "You are a very good student, you can actually get authentic information from the Pu family."
The information about authenticity is the most core content of this entire piece of information.
It is normal for a large family like Pu who does evil and is rich enough to defeat the country to secretly build a tunnel outside the city in the house. In case of chaos in the city or a strong enemy breaks the city, the Pu family can use secret passages to transfer their clan members and wealth out of the city, and get on a boat and go to sea to escape.
However, although the secret passage is a life-saving talisman, it may also be a life-saving talisman. If the enemy knows the existence of the passage and finds the exit of the passage, directly attacks the Pu family's mansion from the passage, then the strong city of Quanzhou and the high walls of the Pu family will all become decorations.
Therefore, the existence of the secret passage must be a highly confidentiality of the Pu family. However, the construction of a seven or eight-mile-long tunnel cannot be small, and Pu Shougeng cannot hide it from everyone except him. At least his closest relatives and a very small number of confidants know it.
Li Yang is smart enough. He did not break through the cunning and suspicious Pu Shougeng, but his son.
With Li Yang's intelligence, he didn't even need Pu Shougeng's son to say the word "authentic". As long as there is a hidden existence in the other party's words, he can speculate that the Pu family has authenticity.
For example, as long as the other party says something like "Even if the thief army breaks through the city or the people in the city rebel, our Pu family can leave the city smoothly and board a boat to go to sea at the port." In this way, Li Yang will be able to get information.
Some information does not need to be directly expressed by the other party at all.
Li Yang only analyzed from Pu Shougeng's son that the Pu family had an authentic channel leading to the port outside the city, not the navy military port, but the Pu family's private port.
But the Pu family was born in Hailiao and is still a big sea merchant. The Pu family has many merchant ships, and the private port should be very large. I only know that the authentic exit in the private port is still useless and it is too broad.
Therefore, Li Yang simply took the excuse to leave the city and observed it in Pujia Private Port. He inferred that a house by the sea should be the exit.
Li Luo thought Li Yang's judgment was very reasonable.
This era is not later generations, so it is important to have sea view rooms. Even fishermen who rely on the sea to make a living are unwilling to live directly by the sea.
Of course, those who can afford to live in large mansions are not ordinary people. How could they be willing to build houses by the beach? Are you not afraid of pirates robbing?
This is obviously a bit abnormal.
However, based on this alone, it is impossible to determine that the tunnel exit is in the beach house.
"How big do you think the opening entrance is in that house? We must determine the specific location of the exit." Li Luo asked Cui Xiuning.
Cui Xiuning said: "Li Yang is a careful and cautious person, otherwise I wouldn't have sent him to the Pu family. The Pu family is really harder than the undercover palace. However, I don't dare to be sure that the exit of the secret passage is there, and I'll give a 70% chance."
Li Luo nodded: "Then we need to continue to make sure. Only when we are sure can we do it."
If you want to destroy Pu Shougeng and steal his money, you will definitely seek death. The only way is to secretly tell the truth.
Of course, there must be someone defending the secret passage, and there must be more than one gate blocking it. But it is much easier than attacking cities and docks.
"I will continue to arrange people to go to Quanzhou to test and determine the location of the exit." Cui Xiuning said, "Li Yang doesn't need to worry about this matter anymore, keep silent to prevent exposure."
Li Luo smiled and said, "I probably have a way of thinking in my heart. Tell me about your ideas and see if you have a tacit understanding with me and my wife."
"Who has a tacit understanding with you and your wife? I need to maintain a tacit understanding with you?" Cui Xiuning said, "My thought is that Pu Shougen's suspicion has provided convenience for our actions, so we start from this point."
Cui Xiuning spread out the drawings of Pujiawu Fort painted by Li Yang and pointed to the picture and said: "Pu Shougeng clearly has 3,000 private soldiers, but he dared not put them all into the house. He was afraid that the family soldiers would rebel. Therefore, two thousand people were stationed outside the wall and one thousand people stationed inside the wall, and checks and balances inside. The family soldiers outside were not easy to rebel, and the family soldiers inside did not dare to rebel."
"But if we attack from the secret passage and occupy the fortress as quickly as possible and control the gate, the two thousand soldiers outside will not be able to enter. As long as we guard the gate and deal with the one thousand soldiers inside, we will be able to do so."
"On the day of Pu Shougeng's birthday, there must be many guests coming in and out, and Pu Shougeng himself will be distracted. In addition, there are more and more people, it is a good opportunity to take action."
"The operation team needs at least two thousand elite troops. In addition to fighting, they also have to carry the Pu family's gold and silver. It is definitely not enough if there are fewer people. The team sneaks in from the secret passage and directly attacks the dock. This is the first line and the main line."
"The second line, dozens of people can be involved in as guests' entourage. These dozens of people must not carry weapons. They only have one function. Suddenly attacks and seize the arsenal. When the incident happened, the Pu family's private soldiers could not pierce the armor as soon as possible."
Private soldiers who have been safe all year round will definitely not wear armor all the time. As private soldiers, it is not convenient to pierce armor like the official army. But according to Li Yang's information, Pu Shougen's arsenal has a large amount of armor.
Cui Xiuning planned to sneak in and seize the arsenal. In an emergency, private soldiers were out of armor and could only be massacred by the operation team attacked from the tunnel.
"The third line is in the city. The Zhangzhou rebel army Chen Dianyan will spread rumors that a large number of Japanese pirates will attack Quanzhou. In this way, the navy will be mobilized and the family soldiers will be mobilized. The navy will be mobilized, which will be mobilized. The navy will be mobilized, which will be mobilized, which will be mobilized, which will be mobilized, which will be mobilized, which will be mobilized. The navy will be mobilized, which will be mobilized, which will be mobilized, which will be mobilized, which will be mobilized, which will be mobilized by us to go to sea to escape. The family soldiers will be mobilized, which will be mobilized by us."
Cui Xiuning said so much in one breath, snatched the apple from Li Luo's hand and took a bite to moisten his throat.
Li Luo clapped his hands and smiled, "Oh, it's really a sympathy, and the couple know each other! Your three antennas are almost the same as mine. There is only a little difference."
"Where is different?" Cui Xiuning asked.
Li Luoyouyou said: "Why spread rumors about Chen Dianyan attacking Quanzhou? We are good people, don't spread rumors. Just let Chen Dianyan's rebel army really attack Quanzhou. Haha."
