    Guo Tai looked at the other soldiers from the Enemy Hunting Division in the main room and hesitated for a moment.  Shen Xiaoshan frowned and said, "Why, you can't even trust your own brother?" Guo Tai quickly explained: "Hey, ever since I started working in this industry, I've been so damn suspicious all day long that I even have to open one eye when sleeping with a woman.  I'm almost sick!" Several other key members of the Enemy Hunting Department in the main room nodded in understanding.  He didn't mind because of Guo Tai's hesitation.  Shen Xiaoshan sighed: "We people are destined to be different from ordinary people. In our line of work, if we don't pay attention, we will lose our wealth and lives. The only people we can trust, except the commander, are the brothers who live with us day and night. We  Old brothers from Huluyan should especially trust each other!" Guo Tai and the core figures of the enemy hunting department such as Niu'er, Xie Wu, and Liu Rongsheng in the hall couldn't help but nod.  After Shen Xiaoshan finished speaking, he pointed at the charcoal fire and said: "Guo Tai, light the fire and talk about the situation in the governor's office. Niu'er, go get some food for Guo Tai. Xie Wu and Liu Rongsheng, you guys, come and warm up the fire."  He moved a chair and sat next to the charcoal fire and said, "When I sit by the charcoal fire, I want to eat the Commander's hot pot." He said with a look of fascination on his face.  Shen Xiaoshan raised his foot and was about to kick him, and said: "I asked you to tell me what I found out today, what are you doing wrong!" Guo Tai quickly dodged and said, "I'm hungry! Don't kick me, I'll tell you now.  !" Shen Xiaoshan asked: "Where are those Western craftsmen?" Guo Tai said seriously: "The governor's Yamen is much bigger than the Pingdu Zhizhou Yamen. I and a few brothers pretended to be officials.  It took me only half a day to figure out the terrain of the road from Yimen to the lobby. Around the lobby are the residences and offices of the six-room clerk and the governor's staff, but no trace of the foreign craftsmen was found. "  Seeing Niu'er sitting on a bowl of steaming hot pot noodles entering the main room, Guo Tai rushed over.  Taking the bowl of sea from the cow's hand, he squatted on the ground and purred, stuffing his mouth full.  Shen Xiaoshan glanced at Guo Tai's expression and shook his head. He then lowered his head and thought carefully about the situation mentioned in Guo Tai's words, looking for useful clues.  It stands to reason that the governor¡¯s office should occupy two-thirds of the entire official office from the ceremonial gate to the lobby, followed by the second hall, the back hall and the back house of the official office. This area accounts for one-third of the official office.  The lobby area of ??the government office contains the archway, gallery, drum tower, medicine, main store (express store), official hall, six departments main office, staff room, etc.  It is the place where various government departments work and where officials, craftsmen, government officials and their families live and rest. There are at least several hundred people living in this area.  The foreigners gathered by Sun Yuanhua to develop firearms and artillery should be placed in this area to live and live. Maybe Guo Tai didn't notice it in a hurry, Shen Xiaoshan thought secretly.  In the blink of an eye.  A large bowl of hot pot noodles was swallowed by Guo Tai. It was like a wind and a cloud. Guo Tai wiped his mouth and said to Niu'er: "Is there any more? Here's another bowl!" Niu'er took the bowl and walked out.  He joked: "You have to be careful not to burst Gouri's belly!" Everyone in the hall had similar status in the enemy hunting department, so they didn't have much scruples in joking with each other.  Guo Tai curled his lips and returned to the charcoal fire, continuing to describe the situation in the governor's office to Shen Xiaoshan.  Feng Jian did not ask about the Western craftsmen, but asked about the topography of the governor's Yamen. Guo Tai talked and gestured.  After describing it to Shen Xiaoshan, Guo Tai said at the end: "Boss, tomorrow I will take a few more brothers to sneak into the governor's office and find a way to sneak into the back hall to investigate." Shen Xiaoshan shook his head and said: "You guys showed up at the governor's office today.  Don't show up tomorrow, so as not to attract the attention of the officers in the governor's office. Tomorrow, another group of brothers will re-enter the governor's office to investigate." Guo Tai frowned and said, "Boss, I always thought that those foreign craftsmen were brought in on the day of the war.  It seems very difficult to leave. During the war, the four city gates of Dengzhou will be closed urgently. If the soldiers attack outside, the defenders in the city will definitely defend with all their strength. If we want to easily get out of the city, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties, which will not affect the foreigners.  They didn't rescue him, so they let us in. "In fact, Shen Xiaoshan also had this concern, but he never questioned Feng Jian's orders. At this time, he heard Guo Tai solemnly stated that the time to rescue people was not the right time, and in the blink of an eye he saw Xie Wu again.  , Liu Rongsheng and others were all frowning and thinking.  Shen Xiaoshan said slowly: "Rescuing foreign craftsmen on the day the rebels attack the city is indeed not the best choice. Do you guys have any tips?" Guo Tai has been thinking about it for a long time. When he saw Shen Xiaoshan asking about the interface, he said: "According to the commander's prediction, the rebels will attack the city."  Dengzhou City should be on the ninth or tenth day of the first lunar month. There are still more than ten days from today. I estimate that with the news of the arrival of the rebels, the gates of the four cities will also be on guard.?This Dengzhou City will definitely be subject to strict inspections. The longer the time is delayed, the more disadvantageous it will be for our enemy hunting department. Therefore, we must cut the knot quickly. The sooner the plan is implemented, the more beneficial it will be.  " Seeing Shen Xiaoshan frowning and thinking, Liu Rongsheng suggested: "Boss, we might as well report the current situation and our new action plan to the commander, and ask the commander to make a decision. This is better than blindly executing the previous plan!  "  If the city gate is closed, not to mention taking the foreign craftsmen to escape, it will be difficult for our enemy hunting department to escape ourselves.  Therefore, while Dengzhou City can still enter and leave freely, it is best to implement the plan in advance and leave Dengzhou City quickly with the goal!  " Shen Xiaoshan nodded and said: "I also agree with your quick decision plan. I will report it to the commander in person later. The key now is how to quickly find out the whereabouts of the foreign craftsmen.  " Guo Tai said: "This is too simple. Since we are ready to fight quickly, let our brothers find a magistrate to threaten and induce them. They will definitely find out the whereabouts of the foreigners, and then, based on the terrain we have scouted, we can directly  Get these people away so that the people in Dengzhou City have no time to react.  When Dengzhou City is occupied by rebels, I believe these foreign craftsmen will understand.  " Shen Xiaoshan said in a deep voice: "Then it's settled. Guo Tai, you, Niu'er, and Xie Wu will stay here and don't take any action for the time being. Liu Rongsheng and I will return to Shuicheng to report to the commander.  " Guo Tai and Xie Wu both bowed and agreed. Guo Tai also joked: "Go back quickly and take the foreign craftsmen back to Pingdu as soon as possible. My new concubine is still waiting at home!  " Shen Xiaoshan ignored Guo Tai, turned around and said to Liu Rongsheng: "Old Liu, let's go back to Shuicheng.  " Said and walked out of the main room quickly, Liu Rongsheng promised and followed Shen Xiaoshan to the place where the war horses were kept across the courtyard Guo Tai sighed to Niu'er and Xie Wu beside him: "This is what Chief Shen is sure about.  Then there will be no hesitation, and it will be solved neatly and neatly. I, Lao Guo, know this very well. Last time at Mozui Mountain" In the blink of an eye, he saw the hot pot noodles in Niu'er's hand, and he took it and swallowed it without thinking about talking.  . Niu'er said from the side: "Lao Guo, you must have been reincarnated as a starving ghost in your last life.  "As he said this, he and Xie Wu laughed together. In Fengjian's cabin in Dengzhou Water City, Fengjian frowned and asked Zhuang Yingchang: "You said that if the weather is very cold, the water in Denglai Water City may freeze!  " Zhuang Yingchang said with a heavy face: "Our Denglai Water City is connected to the Liaohai Sea. The water surface is constantly flowing. Generally, the water surface will not freeze in severe cold weather. In the past two years, the weather has become colder in winter, and the water city occasionally freezes.  Condition.  " If when Kong Youde's rebel troops captured Dengzhou City, the water in Shuicheng suddenly froze, making it impossible for all ships to leave, and Feng Jian and all the officers and soldiers of the Zhou Flood Camp would be trapped in Shuicheng, then the problem would be serious! Feng  Inspector suddenly felt that he had imagined things too simply. He always thought that by predicting what was going to happen, he could take advantage of it, but he did not expect that he should analyze the time, location, and people before taking any major action. This time, he planned to seize Dengzhou water.  The location and the people are all favorable to Feng Jian, but the timing is beyond human control. When the rebels come, God suddenly freezes all the ships in the navy. Not only does Feng Jian plan to seize the Dengzhou water.  The plan of the division's ships would fail, and even he himself would fall into the hands of the rebels. At this moment, Feng Jian suddenly had the urge to lead the ships of the Zhou Flood Camp back to Pingdu. Thinking about it, he felt very unwilling to sail from the Jiaolai River!  After Sun Yuanhua allocated the Dafu ship to the Zhou Flood Camp, Feng Jian began to plan the Denglai Navy ships to prevent these ships from falling into the hands of Kong Youde's rebels. Historically, Kong Youde's rebels were the carriers of Denglai Navy warships.  A large number of Hongyi artillery and Western artillery manufacturing experts surrendered to Hou Jin, and became a weapon of killing in Hou Jin's hands. The small state flood camp immediately trained two thousand naval officers and soldiers; the original two commanders of Fuchuan, Zhuang Ying, were reused!  Chang, Zhang Wentai and Ye Bushou dispersed to check the terrain and draw maps near Denglai. How could they be wasted because of the cold weather and frozen water? Feng Jian has an element of adventure in his heart, the more dangerous it is.  The more difficult things he has to do, the more he takes risks to complete them, and this attempt to seize the navy ship is no exception. Even if the water is frozen, there will always be a solution! Feng Jian took advantage of Zhuang Yingchang's face and asked: "What did you just say?  The water surface where ships dock in Shuicheng occasionally freezes. Has there ever been a situation where the entire waterway froze?  Zhuang Yingchang shook his head and said: "Ice is limited to the water city. The water channel connects the Liaohai Sea. Even if it freezes, it will be difficult to freeze the water surface."  " Feng Jin sighed and said: "It will be good if the water channel is unobstructed!  What did the Denglai Navy do when the water surface froze in previous years?Measures to break the ice.  " Zhuang Yingchang said with a bitter smile: "As long as there is no important trip, the navy officers and soldiers often break the layers around the ship to prevent the ice from damaging the hull. As for the other icy areas on the water surface of Shuicheng, they will ignore it until the ice layer starts in the spring of next year.  Melt on its own!  " Several people in the cabin suddenly felt that the matter was difficult. Cheng Yousheng said: "Just send navy officers and soldiers to patrol day and night. Once ice is found, send people to break the ice immediately.  " Zhang Wentai shook his head and said: "This move is not realistic, not to mention whether it will be effective if the soldiers are on duty day and night. Even if the water surface is found to be frozen, our two to three thousand naval officers and soldiers cannot clear the entire water city of ice.  The gain outweighs the loss!  ¡±??????!!!
