Hearing that after Hu Danzhou escaped from Panlong Village, he rushed back to annex his Dongzhou Village immediately, Jiang Ang was so angry that the veins on his forehead jumped, but he had not lost his mind yet:
Hu You, the son of Hu Danzhou, led two hundred troops from Chishan Village to Dongzhou Water Village. If there was any disturbance in Dongzhou Village, they were all under the watchful eye of the Chishan Village troops. The nine of them didn't even have clean clothes or four handfuls of firewood.
Knife and two bamboo bows. If they returned to Dongzhou Village like this, they would be detained by Hu You before they even had time to gather the troops.
"What's the situation in the village that makes Ma Zhanjiang and the others willing to merge into Chishan Village and listen to Hu's orders?" Jiang Angqiang suppressed the anger in his chest and asked in detail about the situation in the village.
Ma Zhanjiang was the second in charge of Dongzhou Village. Jiang Ang led his troops to sneak into Hanchuan, and Ma Zhanjiang stayed behind to guard Dongzhou Village.
At this time, there were more than a thousand young and strong men in Dongzhou Village, but there were only more than a hundred men and horses who were organized and equipped with soldiers and armor, and they were still under Ma Zhanjiang's command.
Ma Zhanjiang's attitude determines to a certain extent whether they can successfully take back Dongzhou Village and make a comeback.
"There is no news about us in Nancai. In order to avoid Hu You's suspicion, I can only say that I escaped from Nancai City by luck and don't know your whereabouts, brother,"
Zhang Cong wiped his face and said,
"Everyone doesn't know whether you are alive or dead, brother, and they are not too opposed to being merged under the banner of Chishan Village. The big difference now is that Hu You thinks about the first batch of soldiers guarding the village and the young and strong men and women.
Some people were worried that Chishan Village would leave the old, weak, women and children alone, and asked to go with them. Then they delayed the move, waiting for Chishan Village to dispatch more ships. As for the Ma family, I heard that Hu Dangzhou was given to him in
There is a seat reserved in Chishan Village, but he is eager for everyone to leave quickly, for fear of raising too many conditions and irritating the Hu family and his son..."
"Mazhanjiang is a son of a bitch!"
Jiang Ang expected that the few big and small bosses left behind could not be so devoted to him or so reliable. However, Zhang Cong said that Ma Zhanjiang not only did not think of sending people to sneak into Nancai to rescue him, he did not even wait.
When they heard the news about the execution of the leader in Nancai, they rushed to find a new master, and they were very angry.
"Chishan Village wants to mobilize more ships. It will take a few days. We should not alert the enemy at this time."
Zhao Shan heard about the situation inside Dongzhou Village and suggested to Jiang Ang,
"I heard from my elder brother that there is a town called Changlin Town at the mouth of Changlin River where it enters Bailu Lake. After Dongzhou Village grew, it did not attack Changlin Town. There are hidden stakes there. Hu Danzhou's son should still be there at this time.
Without taking into account the hidden stakes in Changlin Town, we may go to Changlin Town to settle down first, and then secretly contact the reliable brothers in the village - in the end, if more than a hundred brothers can live and die with the eldest brother, we can escort the eldest brother back.
Dongzhou Village, please leave Mr. Hu!"
"Okay, let's go to Changlin Town first," Jiang Ang nodded and said, "Mazhanjiang is unreliable. It would be too risky for us to return to Dongzhou Village rashly. But with more than a hundred men and horses in hand, we will return in an open and honest manner.
Dongzhou Village is really not afraid that Hu You dares to break up and refuse to leave!"
Immediately arrange for Zhang Cong to return to Dongzhou Village and secretly contact some absolutely reliable brothers to meet in Changlin Town to plot major events.
This is also their safest approach at this time.
After all, in addition to Jiang Ang, Jiang Xiong, Zhang Cong and others also have some close brothers and sisters in Dongzhou Village, and these people can be trusted at this time.
As long as they plan well, it is not impossible to secretly gather more than a hundred people outside the sight of Hu You, Ma Zhanjiang and others.
Other options carry greater risks.
In addition, before and after Dongzhou Village grew in power, on the one hand, the looted black goods needed a channel to sell them, and a stable place was needed to import scarce supplies such as grain, salt, iron, etc. to Dongzhou Village.
There was a need for a place to place hidden stakes, dig, and monitor any actions that the government might take against Dongzhou Village, so for a long time Jiang Ang did not offend Changlin Zhenqiu.
Of course, there are also many people in Dongzhou Village who come directly from Changlin Town.
However, Dongzhou Village will never offend Changlin Town again. Nowadays, with the war and chaos, Changlin Town has also become depressed. Except for locals, there are almost no business travelers from other places staying here.
Jiang Ang, Zhao Shan and the others sneaked into Changlin Town after dark, climbed over the wall and entered a hidden stake in Dongzhou Village in the town.
This hidden pile is a lame old thief named Lao Jin. He took a somewhat foolish wife, adopted two young orphans, pretended to be a family and fled here, and rented a courtyard in the town.
Selling cooking cakes as a cover, keeping an eye on the goings-on in Changlin Town - of course, Dongzhou Village has other places to stay in Changlin Village, but Jiang Ang feels it is not as reliable as here.
Jiang Ang was cautious, but also considered that at this juncture, the Dongjing Allied Forces thought from top to bottom that they were imprisoned in Nancai, and their lives and deaths were unknown. Hu Danzhou sent his eldest son Hu You to come and take over Dongzhou Island. Even if he knew about Dongzhou,
The village has hidden piles in Changlin Town, so it is unlikely that people will notice it.
The lame old thief was naturally surprised and happy when he saw Jiang Ang and others climbing over the wall, sneaking in and settling down at night.
After hearing Jiang Ang's plan, Lame Lao Jin said: "The master's plan is very appropriate. There is nothing else to eat in the shop except cooking cakes. I will buy some roast geese and give them to you as a tooth sacrifice, the master."
Head, you have to buy a new set of clothes, you are really going to suffer a lot this time..."
"Just buy two roast geese, too much will arouse suspicion!" Even considering that Hu You was unlikely to notice Changlin Town, Jiang Ang did not want to expose a flaw at this juncture and told Lao Jin to be careful.
"You can't buy clothes openly. Fujin and I will go out for a walk and see if we can bring back some clothes. We also need to find some weapons!" Zhao Shan said.
"Thank you for your hard work, third brother and ninth brother!" Jiang Ang now only has a hatchet and a bamboo bow in his hand, which is extremely awkward. As long as he has a weapon or armor in his hand, he may not dare to bring eight
People broke into Dongzhou Village.
As for Dongzhou Village, in addition to having hidden stakes in Changlin Town, in addition to secretly trading black goods with some bold merchants in the town, there are also people in the village who cannot bear the loneliness from time to time and come ashore to improve their lives.
Therefore, Jiang Ang and others cannot easily leave the cake shop and show their faces, but no one knows Zhao Shan and Liu Fujin in Changlin Town, and even no one in Dongzhou Village recognizes them. They can go out to inquire about information, steal some clothes or other things.
Come back with the weapon in hand.
Zhao Shan and Liu Fujin pretended to be relatives who had fled the country and walked out of the shop with the lame old Jin. While listening to the lame old Jin's introduction to the situation in Changlin Town, they looked for their target.
Passing the corner of a house, Lame Lao Jin and Zhao Shan, Liu Fujin said: "The owner of this house just changed half a month ago. I don't know where it comes from. His behavior is quite suspicious. It may be an informant planted by the government——
When you are in Changlin Town, you must avoid them!"
Zhao Shan and Liu Fujin looked at each other, then at the Spring Festival sign hanging under the corner of the courtyard, and continued walking forward in silence, following the lame old Jin.
After patiently walking to the east end of the town, Zhao Shan said to Liu Fujin: "Ninth brother, you and Lao Jin are looking for food. I'll go back to the blacksmith shop I passed just now to see if I can find any weapons."
After Zhao Shan said that, he separated from Liu Fujin and the lame old Jin, and walked back to the yard where the Spring Festival sign was hung. Seeing no one around him, he stepped forward and was about to knock on the door, when he saw the door creaking open from the inside, and someone stretched out his hand to open it.
Zhao Shan pulled in:
"We all saw you enter Changlin Town, but we didn't expect that the lame guy selling cooking cakes turned out to be the hidden stake of Dongzhou Village in Changlin Town! Go in quickly, Zhou Canjun is waiting for you inside the house!"
"Why did Zhou Canjun come to Changlin Town?" Zhao Shan asked in surprise.
It was agreed that the Military Intelligence Department would set up a contact point in Changlin Town to facilitate the delivery of news, but Zhao Shan did not expect that Zhou Jing would rush to Changlin Town in person.
Zhou Jingnai joined the army from the Military Intelligence Department and was responsible for all external military intelligence spying work in Chushan. He usually stayed with Xu Huai to assist in various intelligence analysis matters.
The person who pulled Zhao Shan into the hospital spread his hands and said, "How do I know?"
"Zhou Canjun is here, you must be more careful, lame old Jin even sees that this is suspicious!" Zhao Shan said in a low voice.
"We are new here. How can we set up a contact point so urgently without exposing any flaws?" The man walked in with Zhao Shan and said, "Dongzhou Village is in chaos now, so there should be no time to notice us. After a while, we will
I’ll contact you somewhere else! I’ll give up here!”
"It is necessary to set up a new secret contact point to ensure that the identities of Zhao Shan and Fu Jin are absolutely confidential, but we will not give up here," Zhou Jing walked out of the room and said to Zhao Shan, "This will serve as the Military Intelligence Department
The official contact point in Changlin Town is responsible for monitoring the movements of Dongzhou Village. Even if a flaw is discovered, it doesn't matter. After all, when the time comes, we need to directly make exploratory contact with Dongzhou Village in the name of Chushan Camp...
"
"The plan has changed?" Zhao Shan asked in surprise.
The original plan was for Zhao Shan to help Jiang Ang return to Dongzhou Village to make a comeback, prompting Jiang Ang to unite with the rebel generals who were anti-Hulu or who had some thoughts of home and country within the Dongjing Allied Forces to form a group that resisted secretly communicating with the Hulu.
In order to contain Sun Yanzhou, Hu Danzhou, Tian Rusheng and others, there may even be a chance to promote the internal division of the Dongjing Alliance Army.
In the original plan, it was obvious that there was no option for direct contact between Chushan and Dongzhou Village.
At least until Jiang Ang made a comeback and before Jiang Ang united with other rebel generals, there was no need for Chushan to contact Dongzhou Village.
In front of the Chushan camp, who are Dongzhou Village and Jiang Ang? Why does Chushan need to violate the taboo of crossing Jinghu North Road and Jinghu South Road and directly contact Dongzhou Village?
"Yes, there are some changes in the plan, which is why I came here in person," Zhou Ding nodded and said, "We will go to the house to discuss in detail..."
