Chapter 1517 Elephant Forest

Xianglin, once the great Han Xianglin town, is now the capital of Linyi state.

Although it is known as the capital city, the city actually still maintains the size of the county, except that the port outside the city has obviously expanded.

Jiangnan has been independent from the Northern Central Plains for so many years, and its trade with the south, especially the world outside Nanyang, has increased. Therefore, Xianglin, as an important port of call and safe haven, has naturally developed faster and faster.

It's just that the people of Linyi obviously still have a basic understanding of the city as a tribal residence. Therefore, the height and size of the city actually don't matter as long as it can accommodate people. Therefore, it naturally leads to large and small houses outside the city and inside the city.

Houses are growing disorderly. Once it rains, the streets become muddy and sewage flows across them.

"This is really not a place for people to live." He reached out and pushed open a stilt house outside the pier. A middle-aged man took off his raincoat and bamboo hat and shook them at the door.

It was windy and rainy outside, and there were almost no people on the street. It was obvious that no one wanted to walk on the road in heavy rain.

Because once it rains, this area is naturally formed, and there are not even rammed earth roads, so it naturally turns into large and small "traps" and swamps. It is for this reason that all the houses near the pier are

Such stilt houses ensure that the residents do not live directly in the water.

"After the Han Dynasty takes over Linyi, it will definitely have to be re-planned and built here. What we have to do now is to allow the Han Dynasty to occupy it." Another man in the room said with a smile, "How is the situation in the city?"

"The people in Linyi are obviously aware of it and are desperately mobilizing troops and horses these days." The man who came in before said in a deep voice, "According to someone's observation, the number of defenders in the city has increased by at least seven to eight hundred people in the past few days. There are no soldiers at the port.

What a big change, but the small boats of the Linyi people are going out more and more frequently."

"Their navy is better than nothing, but there is no need to consider it. The biggest threat is the defenders in the city. This is almost the only combatable force of the Linyi people. The rest should be concentrated in Hengshan and Langshan in the north. Relying on

We have to resist every step of the way." The man in the room nodded, "What we have to do now is to find a way to cooperate with the navy to seize the dock."

"The weather has been bad recently, and the navy doesn't know when it will come. The ships here are just some fishing boats, and they don't dare to go to sea at all."

"Don't worry about this. The Navy has already practiced how to seize the dock in such wind and rain. Even if it rains for two more days, it shouldn't make them difficult. The question is whether we can quickly lead the Navy directly from the port.

Rush into the city, how are you mobilizing the people at the port?"

"At least seven or eight hundred people are willing to follow us. The high taxes and recruitment of young men by the Linyi people over the years have obviously caused public outrage. What's more, the Han Dynasty has a lot of wealth. The Linyi people have adopted a strategy of confrontation with the Han Dynasty, which has made these ordinary people also want to follow us.

Being dissatisfied, after all, it blocks everyone's way of making money."

"That's true. I have to say that the navy is still very cooperative with our actions in white robes. These days, they rely on them to send ships to blockade the Nanyang sea and inspect ships, causing merchant ships and fishing boats to be blocked. Otherwise, there would not be so many people treating Lin Yi like this.

dissatisfied."

"So when are we ready to take action?"

"It should be tomorrow. Even if it rains tomorrow morning, I will go to sea personally and contact the navy no matter what!" The man in the room suddenly stood up.

The two looked at each other.

"Then I will continue to enter the city tomorrow and make a clear arrangement of the troops in the city."

"Okay, take care of yourself!"

"Take care!"

The two of them bowed to each other, and the man who came from afar put on his raincoat and bamboo hat again, opened the door and rushed into the wind and rain.

His companion stood at the door and watched his figure leave, taking a long breath.

After the founding of the Han Dynasty, Baipao's net became larger and larger, and the grid became denser and denser.

Even in a place like Lin Yiguo, there are dozens of active white-robed personnel. Of course, this also includes bribed insiders and peripheral personnel. They only know a small part of their work and don't even know themselves.

Who is my boss? I don’t know who I will ultimately serve.

Although the Linyi people have no idea about intelligence gathering, their only way to obtain intelligence is to dispatch a large number of spies to shuttle along the border between Dahan and Linyi, just to be able to detect some troubles when the Han army is dispatched.

But he didn't know that every move he made was in the hands of the big man.

However, Baipao still adheres to the work attitude of being cautious and cautious in everything, and strictly maintains confidentiality in all work, so the only ones who really understand the trends of Baipao are the two men just now.

Through close calculations one after another, Bai Pao has the entire Elephant Forest firmly in his hands, and has even completed the persuasion of laborers, workers, fishermen, etc. on the dock, and formed groups one by one.

.

The pursuits of people in these groups are not the same. Some are dissatisfied with the oppression of Linyi rulers, some want to find more profitable ways to support their families, and some are simply

Because he had grudges with the Linyi royal family, when they gathered together, Baipao would come forward to host group meetings one after another. People at the meetings spoke freely and told each other their dissatisfaction with the Linyi people, and at the same time, they learned and understood the policies that the Han Dynasty began to implement.

Each new policy finally determined the goal of everyone to resist the Linyi people and work together to become part of the Han Dynasty.

Under the guidance of Li Xingchen, Bai Pao is already familiar with these underground jobs.

Moreover, these methods did have enough power to gather and appeal to people. Soon, more than half of the people on Linyi Pier were organized. These people from all over the world were waiting with bated breath for the final thunder to arrive.

Of course, after the Han Dynasty wanted to fully occupy Linyi, these forerunners, whose ideas were higher than those of ordinary Linyi people, were naturally a big help.

"For the big man." The man muttered silently.

Everything is ready, but there is a possibility that more and more enemies over Xianglin will retaliate at any time because of leaking the news. At this time, they are willing to risk their lives and survive.

"I hope you can hurry up." The man turned to look at the vast wind and rain outside.

"Hurry up, reef the sails and turn the helm!" In the wind and rain, Qi Xin's voice on the Qinglong Ship was almost drowned out by the roaring rain and the sound of the waves.

Wind and rain were obstacles that Qi Xin never thought of. He could only say that God was not kind to him.

Fortunately, both the clipper ship and the Qinglong ship have withstood the test of the waves.
