    Feng Jian thought for a long time, banged the table with his right hand, looked at several people and said: "On the day when Kong Youde's rebels captured Dengzhou City, if the water in Shuicheng really freezes, there is only one way to solve it!" Cheng Yousheng, Zhuang Yingchang, and Zhang Wentai suddenly  He turned his attention to Feng Jian to see if the commander had any solution to this problem.  Feng Jian said: "We have sufficient gunpowder on board. We have packed the gunpowder with oil paper into gunpowder packets in advance. Before the fleet left, we asked the soldiers to dig holes in the ice and stuff the gunpowder bags sealed with oil paper into the ice holes.  , and then ignited the gunpowder bag to explode the ice. " Cheng Yousheng, Zhuang Yingchang, and Zhang Wentai suddenly brightened their eyes. Cheng Yousheng said first: "How clever is this, the commander!  It can't stop the power of gunpowder bombing! The villain is really impressed." Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai then thought about it and realized that this was indeed a good way to break the ice on the water in Shuicheng.  "But as leaders of the Navy, when they encounter big problems, they have to go to their superiors to find a solution. The two of them feel a little ashamed.  Zhuang Yingchang praised: "My subordinates dare to say that no one has thought of using gunpowder in this way before. Commander, this is a pioneering move!" Zhang Wentai was also amazed. After a while, he suddenly said, "Commander, this is an idea."  Excellent. But the amount of gunpowder added to this gunpowder bag must be controlled. If you add too much gunpowder, it will easily damage the ship; if you add too little gunpowder, it will not achieve the ice-breaking effect. How much gunpowder should be put in this gunpowder bag? " Feng Jian.  He turned to Cheng Yousheng and said, "Send someone to the resting place of the gun soldiers and find Mashan and Yang Ba Shi. Let's discuss the dosage of gunpowder packets together. They deal with firearms all day long, so they should be somewhat familiar with gunpowder.  " Several people are talking.  Suddenly, a guard battalion soldier walked into the cabin, bowed and said to Feng Jian: "Report to the commander. Enemy hunting department Shen Xiaoshan and Liu Rongsheng are now under the boat and said they have something to report to you." Feng Jian was wondering about Shen Xiaoshan's sudden return.  What's the matter, he said: "Let them get on the boat!" "As ordered!" The guard bowed to Feng Jinwei, turned around and walked out of the cabin.  ¡­ On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month in the fourth year of Chongzhen, the day before New Year¡¯s Eve, the Denglai Governor¡¯s Office was busy and busy, but it did not affect the good mood of the ordinary people in Dengzhou City to welcome the New Year. There were very few people on the streets, and they were all preparing for the New Year in their homes.  Many families put Spring Festival couplets on their doors and the word "¸£" on their walls.  The common people were not aware at all that Kong Youde's rebels were coming outside the city, and they were about to be ravaged under the iron heel of the rebels!  The governor's office is close to the medical hospital. At this time, there are more than ten guards with waist knives standing at the door of the hospital. There is also a large sedan with a red silk top parked at the door.  In the center of the courtyard, Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, stood in front of a red cannon, stroking the barrel of the cannon with his hand. Around him were more than twenty Westerners with red hair and blue eyes.  Sun Yuanhua faced a Westerner in his forties and said: "Lu Ruohan, twenty-seven of you Westerners defected to my command, Denglai. In just over a year, you supervised the construction of more than twenty Hongyi cannons. There are more than three hundred Western cannons.  His contribution to the throne is not small. I have written to the imperial court, requesting a reward for the throne. " This Westerner, whom Sun Yuanhua calls "Lu Ruohan," speaks Chinese fluently.  He bowed slightly to Sun Yuanhua and said: "Your Majesty, the governor, twenty-seven of us are hired by your Majesty to make front-loading smoothbore cannons for your army. They are also called Hongyi cannons as your Majesty calls them. This is as it should be. Because we are employed.  Mr. Yu. Moreover, we have never been in arrears with our employment fees and even received extra rewards. "Sun Yuanhua waved his hands and said, "You are welcome, your efforts should be rewarded. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve.  Fu is here mainly to visit you. I also want to remind you that there are rebels outside our Dengzhou City, and they are planning to plot against our Dengzhou City. Please be careful! " Most of these Westerners can understand Chinese.  After Sun Yuanhua finished speaking, a tall Westerner beside him said: "Sir Governor, if rebels really attack your city, twenty-seven of us can form an artillery battalion, and the invading rebels will be under our bombardment."  You are no match at all!" A smile appeared on Sun Yuanhua's heavy face in recent days. He glanced at the Westerner appreciatively and said: "Xilao from Gongsha, your Chinese is getting better and better!  If we attack Dengzhou City, I will definitely hire you to join the battle." The Westerners who were turned into Gongsha's Xi Lao by Sun Yuan quickly bowed and said: "As long as the governor pays enough commission, we can work hard for you." The look on Sun Yuanhua's face.  The smile faded, why are these Westerners always willing to talk about money? With money, they will fight for you, but without money, they will still ignore you! ?¡­ ? In the "Tailai" Inn in Dengzhou City, in the cross-courtyard room rented by the Hunter Division, Shen Xiaoshan, Guo Tai, Niu'er, Liu Rongsheng, and Xie Wu were sitting around the table. On the table was a simple Denglai  Internal structure diagram of the Governor's Yamen.  Shen Xiaoshan pointed to a place on the map and said: "This is where those foreign craftsmen live. After confirmation by our brothers, there are twenty-seven in total. Foreign craftsmen rarely have contact with the outside world, and their daily needs are taken care of by dedicated personnel from the governor's office.  , This is very beneficial to our operation. In other words, if we kidnap these foreign craftsmen, they will not be discovered in a short time." Shen Xiaoshan pointed his finger at the residence of these foreign craftsmen and said: "The residence of these foreign craftsmen.  It is relatively remote, with the government medical department on the left and the government express delivery shop on the right. Few people usually pass by, which is another advantage. " Guo Tai and others listened carefully to Shen Xiaoshan's explanation, nodding their heads from time to time.  .  Shen Xiaoshan finished his explanation and said: "This is the basic situation of the Western craftsmen. Everyone knows it!" Shen Xiaoshan continued: "The commander has agreed that our enemy hunting department will take action to hijack these Westerners to Huluyan.  We must not leave any clues in the process. What do you guys have to say?" Seeing the four people shaking their heads together, they said: "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. In order to avoid a long night, our enemy hunting department will take action at midnight, and we will hide in advance after we succeed.  We will wait until the city gate opens tomorrow to leave the city in batches." Shen Xiaoshan stared at Guo Tai and the four people quietly and said: "This matter is related to the commander's development plan, and there is no room for mistakes. What to do if there is a problem during the mission.  I don¡¯t need to waste any words, you can all do your own thing!¡± Guo Tai and the other four looked serious, and Guo Tai said, ¡°We don¡¯t need to tell you from Chief Shen, we all know what to do, and my brothers in the enemy hunting department also know the rules.¡±  No longer entangled in this matter, he turned to ask Xie Wu: "Have carriages been prepared at all five hiding places?"  Xiaoshan said: "The meeting will be over later. The five of us will go back to have a meeting with the members of the action team. We will explain carefully to our subordinates that we will act on time tonight."  For the enemy company, it is not difficult to handle. I think the danger of this mission comes from two aspects. The first is that our enemy company kidnaps the Western craftsman and leaves early the next morning. In the meantime, if someone discovers the Western craftsman.  Missing is a big trouble. The second thing is that Dengzhou City has strengthened the inspection of the gates entering and exiting the city. How should we deal with the gate guards' inspection?  The soldiers' troops are deployed outside the city to prepare for Kong Youde's rebels. Secret sentries and scouts will appear in multiples along the way, especially from the south gate out of the city. Therefore, I think it is best for us to avoid the south gate. The five-way action team will leave the city through the other three gates.  " Shen Xiaoshan said: "The key point you two put forward is that the foreign craftsman was found missing before we left. This is a lot of luck. We can only do our best to obey fate. The commander told me that if someone were to  If you find out, you will abandon this plan decisively. The lives of our brothers are more important than these foreigners!¡± In the commander¡¯s mind, the lives of his own people are more important than those of foreigners, and the four people present were moved!  Shen Xiaoshan continued: "As for the entrance and exit of the city gate, the interrogation is indeed strict, but the main purpose is to strictly interrogate those who enter the city. We generally do not intercept those who leave the city. Don't forget that our enemy hunters are all officers.  They are dressed as military cavalry. Generally, the city gate guards are not willing to do anything. They prepare silver coins in advance. If they encounter those city gate guards who want to investigate, they should be able to leave the city safely as long as they stuff enough silver coins." Shen Xiaoshan turned to Liu Rongsheng and said, "Old man.  Liu's suggestion is correct. Our five groups will go out from the east, west and north city gates and meet at the official road at the foot of Mi Shen Mountain. "Guo Tai asked: "Boss, my opinion is that since the guards and interrogations when leaving the city are not very strict.  We might as well divide into one or two teams and leave the city. Going out in groups more often will attract the attention of the guards. Going out together will reduce the number of mistakes." Shen Xiaoshan pondered for a while, then turned to ask Liu Rongsheng and others: "Guo Tai's proposal makes sense.  , what do you think?" Niu'er said: "If no one finds the foreign craftsmen missing after opening the city gate in the morning, we should leave the city as soon as possible to prevent long nights, so it is necessary for us all to leave the city." Liu Rongsheng said: "I.  It is recommended that we divide into two teams and leave the city at the east and west gates. This will not attract the attention of the gate guards, nor will the large cavalry team attract the attention of the two generals outside the city, so that we can return to Huluyan smoothly.  " Shen Xiaoshan thought for a moment and said: "Then divide our enemy hunting department into two teams, one team consists ofI, Guo Tai, and Niu'er led the way out of the city from the east gate, passed through Kuishan Mountain, and headed south to Pingdu Daze Mountain.  Lao Liu's remaining team, led by you and Xie Wu, will take the west gate. The specific return route will be decided by you and Xie Wu. Remember to fight if you encounter sentries or a small number of ambush troops, and if you can't, flee if you can't.  The key is to protect foreign craftsmen.  " Liu Rongsheng and Xie Wu looked at each other and grinned: "I can't tell you how to go now. Anyway, Xie Wu and I will deliver the foreign craftsmen safely to Huluyan. Boss, you should pay attention all the way. I heard that some people have been found near Kuishan.  Traces of rebels.  ¡±??????!!! (To be continued)
