"Then we will make two preparations. If they don't get off the ship before entering Tongzhou, we will rescue them by force." Zhou Man said confidently: "If they get off the ship before entering Tongzhou, we will use the second plan.
.”
"What's your second plan?" Mo Wen asked in a deep voice.
"Sneak close to the boat and rescue the master without anyone noticing." Zhou Man said.
"How can you approach quietly, and how can you rescue the person without being noticed?" Mo Wen frowned slightly. He felt that Zhou Man was really unreasonable. If there was someone who could approach that person without being noticed, Mo Wen frowned slightly.
Are they still in such a dilemma about how to use the ship?
"Haha, sir, you don't know. Our Sixth Office in Fusi, Beizhen, is a place filled with all kinds of strange things. They have created a magical device, which you have named the Divine Turtle. It can sail underwater without leaving any trace."
Zhou Man smiled confidently.
"Is there such a thing in the world?" Mo Wen asked in disbelief.
"This is Master Zhenfu's invention. There are some people in this world who are born with knowledge that makes you dissatisfied. Master is just such a person. The deeper the contact, the more unfathomable it becomes..." Zhou Man shook his head and shook his head.
After finishing the flattery, I remembered that the person I was flattering was still in the hands of the enemy. Then he said sadly: "Master Wu has already transported that thing over. He can show it to the general tomorrow, and he will naturally know what I mean."
It’s not empty anymore.”
The next day, on a cargo ship arriving from Fusi, Beizhen, Zhou Man indeed saw the Xianshengui that Wu Wei personally escorted.
Looking at the oversized wooden cabinet-like thing that was covered with greased cowhide and was eight feet long and about four feet wide and high lying quietly in the cargo hold at the bottom of the ship, Wu Wei said with some disbelief: "
This is all made of wood, how can it sink under the water on its own?"
"Haha, this is your genius." Wu Wei climbed up to the top of the cowhide wooden cabinet, opened the round hatch at the top, and invited Mo Wen in for a visit.
Mo Wen was naturally very curious, so he happily jumped up on the top of the cabinet and followed Mo Wen in. Zhou Man and Yang Rong also followed... Since there was only room for sitting inside, only six people came in, so the space was very crowded.
When Mo Wen went into the wooden cabinet, he found a glazed palace lantern hanging inside. The advantage of this lantern is that it is smokeless, not easy to extinguish, and will not cause fire. Of course, it is very expensive and can only be found in the palace hall.
Use. He couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, no wonder the Beizhen Fusi cried out about poverty all day long. How much money he had was not enough to go through such trouble. However, as a general, he was more concerned about how the Xianshen Turtle could sink into the water.
"General Mo didn't realize that the space of the Divine Turtle is much smaller than it looks." Wu Wei said with a smile.
"Not bad." Mo asked, "I thought it could hold eight to ten people."
"The reason is that there is a water tank at the front and rear ends." Wu Wei knocked on the bulkhead on his side and made a clanging sound. Sure enough, it was hollow. Zhou Man also knocked on the bulkhead on the other end, and sure enough, it was hollow.
It is hollow. Wu Wei raised his hand and held a wrench and said: "As long as you pull this place, the water tank will open and water will enter, and the turtle will naturally sink. You only need to control the water level to where you want to sink."
"Then how do you float up?" Mo asked a very critical question.
"Turn this turntable vigorously, and the water in the water tank will be forced out." Wu Wei said: "There is less water in the water tank, and the turtle will float."
"Then how do you move forward and backward and how do you turn?" Mo Wen asked.
"General, have you seen that there is a pair of pedals under each seat?" Zhou Man said: "Let's step on the pedals together, and the turtle can move forward, and the speed is really not slow. As for turning..." Zhou Man said, then
The smug look on his face finally calmed down, and he said with a slight embarrassment: "My lord said it was to use a rudder, and he also gave a sketch, but we haven't developed it yet..."
"Does that mean this thing can't turn?" Mo Wen hit the nail on the head.
"It's just not happening now, but it should be possible soon." Zhou Man's voice became smaller and smaller.
"I don't care whether it can go up to the sky or escape to the ground in the future, I just know that it can't even turn now?" Mo Wen said angrily: "You want to use this thing to save the military division?"
"Our Sixth Office has just been established less than half a year ago..." Wu Wei felt very suffocated, and then he remembered that the ventilation pipe inside was not open. When he was about to open the ventilation valve, he saw that Mo Wen had already opened the hatch cover and got out.
Everyone came out of the turtle shell covered in stinky sweat. Wu Weicai then asked Mo: "I didn't say I had to use this. I just thought it might come in handy, so I hurriedly sent it over."
"..." Mo Wen didn't answer, but looked at the cowhide cabinet intently, and after a while he asked: "Even if you use it to get close to the enemy ship, how can you get on it without being noticed?"
"This" Wu Weigang had just rushed over. He didn't know anything about the current situation, so he was confused when he was asked.
"Is this it?" Zhou Man obviously had a plan and said slowly: "Xiaoguan has carefully observed the ship the other party is riding on. It is modified from a common sand ship in the Yangtze River Estuary area. This kind of ship has a square head and a square head, and
Like the canal boats, they are all flat-bottomed boats, so they can pass through the shallow water in the north of the canal without fear of running aground. But unlike the canal boats, because the sand boats need to be protected from wind and waves, they are equipped with so-called wave-breaking boards on both sides of the hull.
The gap under the board is just right for the turtle to probe its head, and the wave board can also block the sight of people on the shore, achieving a concealing effect."
"Hmm..." Mo Wen thought about it and felt that although this method was a bit absurd, if it could work, it would indeed have the best effect and the smallest side effects. After thinking about it, he asked three questions: "First,
When sailing in the canal, those corrugated boards will not be put down. Secondly, even if they are put down, how can we ensure that the turtle is just poking its head under the corrugated board? Thirdly, how can we ensure that the turtle can still return to the turtle after rescuing people?"
"These three problems are easy to solve." Zhou Man had already had an idea: "We only need to attack them once in the dark night, use spear hooks to secure their ship, launch a fierce attack, and cover the turtles to attack the enemy from the bottom.
Ship. We installed spear thorns on the top of the turtle. As long as it floats up a little, all the spear thorns can be pierced on the flat bottom of the enemy ship and firmly fixed. At the same time, we destroyed the hooks of the wave board on their ship, so that the wave board will naturally
Just fall down and block the hatch of the Turtle. We should try to wait until the last night to launch, so that as long as the ship can still sail, they will not find anyone to repair it, and they will not find that the Turtle has been attached to the bottom of their ship.
.When the opponent's main force disembarks the next day, our people can use the cover of the wave board to board the ship and rescue you."
"It's just that I haven't decided how to leave after rescuing people." Zhou Man finished a long sentence and almost choked him to death when he finally said this.
"This is quite simple," Mo Wen said calmly, "Just ask His Highness the Grand Sun to tow the ship away from Tongzhou."
"What if King Zhao insists on taking over the aftermath?" Wu Wei asked, thinking more carefully when there are more people.
"Then find a way to hold off King Zhao." Mo Wen said that, but he had no good solution. As the saying goes, he is a soldier and is good at fighting, but he is an amateur at this kind of conspiracy.
.
"I have an idea." Wu Wei said with a rare smile: "It's just that it's a bit unsightly."
"Anytime, as long as it can be used, it doesn't matter how shameless it is." Yang Rong said in a muffled voice, and everyone nodded.
"Sure, then I'll say it." Wu Wei whispered: "Our Zhenfu Division has a department dedicated to spying on the enemy. Although it is still very insignificant, we have made some achievements. For example, our informants in Prince Zhao's Mansion reported
It is said that King Zhao’s newly married princess the year before last year has an affair with Zhu Zhanqi, the second eldest son of the King of Han’s family.”
"Really or not?" Sexy news has always been a favorite among human beings, especially the royal sex news. Even if it was urgent, everyone still took a breath and said: "Aren't those aunt and nephew?"
"Ahem, there are a lot of things going on in Zhuqiangbiwa." Although Wu Wei said this, he refused to gossip anymore and returned to the topic: "These two people have been dating for a while, and King Zhao is in Beijing these days.
However, the princess fell ill and did not go north together. In fact, she was not sick at all, she just wanted to enjoy a tryst with her lover."
"Oh no..." Everyone said in disbelief: "His Royal Highness King Zhao is so handsome and handsome, why does the princess want to find Zhu Zhanqi?"
"Haha, this is trivial." Wu Wei naturally knew that this was because His Highness King Zhao lost interest in women after he had several sons, and the Princess became a widow at a young age and fell in love with her muscular nephew.
It’s not surprising. Of course, these gossips should not be spread nonsense.
"What do you mean?" After a while, everyone suppressed the fire of gossip in their hearts and looked at Wu Weidao.
"What I mean is, repay him with what he has done," Wu Weihen said: "Aren't they going to make a fool of us and Master Xu? Well, let's let them make a big fool of themselves and use Zhu Zhanqi.
With Princess Zhao, replace the master with Master Xu."
"Wonderful!" When everyone heard this, no one thought it was inappropriate. Even a mature man like Mo Wen and Yang Rong was completely angered by the enemy's crazy actions this time. He had to retaliate in kind in order to satisfy his inner feelings.
hatred.
"When King Zhao sees that his wife and nephew are getting together, no matter how thick-skinned he is, he can't stay on the spot." Zhou Man said with a smile: "The situation is naturally controlled by the grandson."
"That's right." Wu Wei smiled and said, "Let's see who dares to frame you in the future?"
"But it's already too late." Yang Rong frowned and said, "The ship will arrive in Tongzhou in three days. Even if we use flying pigeons to send a message to Shuai Hui and the others to arrest him, it will be too late to send him over."
"Haha." Mo Wen laughed out loud and said: "Brother Wu Wei always has the right intention. When he says this, he is certainly sure."
"It's just a mistake. I did capture that couple." Wu Wei smiled modestly and said: "But what I originally thought was to exchange them for Master and Xu Zhenren. Although it is also a replacement, but
We obviously don’t have to waste time.”
"Just put in more effort" everyone laughed, "We just don't lack strength"
