Chapter 2286 Schedule
If the scale is large enough, maybe Kun Bandit will send troops from the city to reinforce.In this way, the number of defenders in the city can be weakened, which is conducive to their intrusion in one fell swoop.

However, he has been calculating these days, and the capital in his hand is still not enough.Not to mention [-]% sure, not even [-]%.

Fortunately, the current situation is developing in his favor.With the need to fight against bandits and quell the Yao chaos, the Wuzhou garrison was continuously diluted from the state of gathering.The Wuzhou Integrated Squadron, the most combative of the Wuzhou National Army Brigade, was transferred to northern Guangdong to participate in the war. The other squadron was in a state of leaving early and returning late because it had to patrol the Xijiang River.Due to the attrition of the war, people were constantly recruited to replenish, and the replenishment squadron originally stationed at Yangmingmen had been virtually exhausted.In fact, only Qian Duo's company and Sanhezui's squadron were left as permanent defenders in Wuzhou.

Even so, Yi Haoran still couldn't make up his mind: Although there is only one infantry company in the city during the day, this company has the best equipment and the strongest combat effectiveness.As long as the rich company is still in the city, he will always be cautious.

But this big grain transfer gave him a chance.There is no doubt that the transportation of [-] shi of grain must be a major event for Wuzhou Kun thieves.If they could wait for the opportunity to attack the grain ship, it would definitely cause a huge shock, which would not only play a role in diverting the tiger away from the mountain, but also seriously dampen the morale of the bandits.

Because Yi Haoran often went to the wharf to help Wen Tietou settle accounts—he, the head porter, is now loading and unloading goods for Australians, and his subordinates have expanded to hundreds of people. The management model can no longer be taken care of, and Australians pay attention to document management and have proofs for everything. Naturally, an illiterate Wen Tietou can't do it, so he often asks Yi Haoran.

Yi Haoran naturally did not refuse, firstly, this would allow him to go out in a legitimate way; secondly, he could observe many details of the Australian shipping at the pier.

He probably knows that Australians like to transport in large formations, and organize large fleets to sail a large amount of supplies at one time. Every time they sail, they will send many "motorboats" to escort them. Not only are the guns sharp, but there will also be soldiers on board.Whether it is setting up an ambush on the shore or intercepting it on the water, it is difficult to fight against it. At best, it is just to harass the fleet.

Every time a large fleet arrives at the port to unload, Qianduo will deploy troops to guard the vicinity of the pier, and will not withdraw until all the cargo has been unloaded and put into storage.

This time the Australians are very likely to ship [-] shi of grain to Wuzhou at one time, and the scale will exceed any previous fleet.Naturally, more people will be dispatched to guard - the defense in the city must be empty.

He planned to use Gou Er's men to attack the fleet outside the city to attract the attention of the security forces outside the city. Song Ming's men raided the magistrate's yamen in an attempt to arrest or kill Zhen Kun.

"Will this work?" Chang Qingyun was a little skeptical, "General Song has only 50 people under his command, and there is still a three-point possibility of raiding the magistrate's yamen in the city, but Gou Er's men are all thieves even though there are hundreds of them. , how can you take on this important task?"

"There is always a way."

Seeing that he was vague, Chang Qingyun knew that he didn't fully trust her, so she couldn't help being a little discouraged.road:

"I shouldn't have asked."

Yi Haoran said seriously: "Brother Chang, it's not that I can't trust you! Some things may be better if you don't know. In short, our hearts are together, and we can use our strengths in one place!"

"You're right," Chang Qingyun nodded, "What do you want me to do?"

"Your business is still in Sanhezui." Yi Haoran said, "There is a national army squadron in Sanhezui, and something big must happen to hold this squadron down."

"This is easy to say, but difficult to do." Chang Qingyun frowned, "Although there are prisoners in the camp, but right now they don't have to worry about food and clothing, and they don't have to worry about their lives. It's impossible for them to do it anyway."

"Why do they have to do anything anyway? As long as the camp is in chaos!" Yi Haoran said gloomyly.

The easiest way to make a mess is to set fire to it.In summer, the weather is dry and things are dry, and most of the camps are temporary structures of grass and trees. Once a fire breaks out, it will inevitably cause large-scale spread.

"Australians are very strict with fire protection in the camp, and it may not be easy."

"If it's easy, do you want Master Chang to take charge of the overall situation?" Yi Haoran said, "We also have a few brothers in the camp, and we can help you when the time comes!"

Chang Qingyun knew that taking on this errand would be a narrow escape.Not to mention that once the Australians caught him, there would be no way out. Even if they were not caught on the spot, the camp was in chaos after the fire, with thousands of wolves running around and trampling each other. It would be even more difficult to escape with a life.

He sighed: "Since that's the case, the students will risk their lives to do it!"

Yi Haoran exclaimed in admiration: "Mr. Chang really neglects his country and forgets his life!" He turned his head and looked at the broad river, and said excitedly: "Don't worry, sir, students are not people who cherish their lives. When the time comes, you and I will walk together on the Yellow Springs Road. Lonely." After saying that, he burst out laughing.

Chang Qingyun smiled wryly and said, "Sir, you are so proud!"

Yi Haoran shook his head and said: "It's not because I have pride, but because I never want to see this great river and mountain fall into the hands of barbarians! Although fortune and destiny, Ming Dynasty has no one now. Let's just say that the Australians have already penetrated into Guangxi, and it won't be long. , the land of Bagui will have the surname Kun. Even if Jie Kun can be killed, it will be a drop in the bucket for the crisis in Guangdong and Guangxi. Scholar!"

After Chang Qingyun left, Yi Haoran planned for a long time by himself. He only felt that no matter how he planned this matter, he was only three or four points sure, but many people would be sent to death—they were all loyal people of the imperial court...

What if Cai Lan is directly asked to assassinate?Whether it is poisoning or assassination, it is not difficult for Cai Lan.Although she was bound to die, she was someone who should have died long ago, so there was nothing to regret about it.

However, he thought over and over again and decided not to take this risk. Firstly, Cai Lan could be used as the last trump card; secondly, through Qiuchan, he probably knew that this little girl had some subtle feelings with Xie Erren.If you force her to do it, maybe you will betray yourself.

After listening to Jiang Qiuchan's entrustment, Cai Lan knew that things were not that simple.Qiuchan didn't know what Yi Haoran was planning, but she knew it clearly.

My heart was secretly anxious, but there was nothing I could do.After thinking about it, I had to secretly pay attention to Xie Erren's daily correspondence.

Originally, Xie Erren didn't bring work to her subordinates, but as he doted on her more and more day by day, the veteran often worked at her place in order to avoid running around in the morning and evening. The east wing serves as a dedicated office.

Cai Lan is very careful: she never shows any interest in the office. When Xie Erren is working in the office, she only delivers tea and stewed supplements to the door.

But Xie Erren was not as suspicious as she imagined.Not only did he seldom lock the door when he left, but he also took the documents to the bedroom to read, or simply reviewed official documents on the bed and drafted drafts in his notebook.Sometimes these things will be pulled in the bedroom.

During the day, Xie Erren often had to go out, most of the time to hold meetings or work in the government office. Apart from her and Qiuchan, there were only two servants in the yard—these two servants would not enter the house without calling.Therefore, it is not difficult for Cai Lan to peek at official documents and letters.

On the second night after Luo Yangming reported his suspicion of Hao Ran, she saw the transfer letter drafted by Zhao Fengfeng in the office—it was in the document basket waiting for Xie Erren to sign and send it out.

Seeing the word "Hao Ran", Cai Lan immediately pulled out the document and began to read it.

Although she doesn't know what a foreign transfer is, the Australian's document is plain and easy to understand, and she can understand it in a few words: it is Wuzhou who wrote to the Australian office in Teng County to ask if there is such a person as Hao Ran in the area. What is the specific situation.

Naturally, it is impossible for Teng County to have someone like Hao Ran. Even if Qiuchan wrote a letter and went home immediately, asking her husband's family to help lie, not to mention whether her husband's family is willing to lie for a man of unknown origin, even if she is willing, A little cross-examination by the Australians will reveal their feet.

Once worn out, the consequences are self-evident.Yi Haoran will immediately expose his identity and be arrested and interrogated.He has a big plan in Wuzhou, and if he wins a big case, not only will he be implicated, but the Jiang family will not be able to escape...

After thinking for a while, she made a risky decision, took the official letter out of the document basket, took it directly to the main room, and quietly lit it on a candle to burn it.

Luo Yangming didn't know that the transfer letter just disappeared without a trace.His work is very busy.After discussing the specific fundraising plan with the reconciliation veterans, he disclosed his "fundraising" intention through the aftermath bureau.Sure enough, it immediately aroused the interest of many big merchants.Many people have asked him about the details of this matter, but not many people are really willing to participate.Luo Yangming is not surprised by this: when the war is in turmoil, merchants are more willing to wait and see with their money in their hands, rather than release it to make money.What's more, the recent war situation is tense, and the bandit armed forces even went to the suburbs of Wuzhou for activities at one point, and news of the Yao chaos kept coming.As the situation worsened, all kinds of rumors also appeared, "Australians are not real emperors, so they cannot sit in the court of dragons", "Yao people don't even recognize Australians as emperors"... Such news spread all over the city.Zheng Ergen led the police to arrest some people who spread rumors, but they couldn't find out anything famous. They were all passed from person to person, and they heard it from the street.

All of these caused the originally high "Australian stocks" to start to fall, and many people who originally wanted to bet and raise their bets changed their minds.

Fortunately, there are still quite a few merchants willing to take risks. Jiang Qiuchan's elder brother, Jiang Rongxian, was the first to express his willingness to contribute, which led several colleagues from the silk and satin guild. Da Xinxuan, the shopkeeper of Chengyuhang, also invested several hundred taels of silver.The 3000 taels of silver needed to buy grain were quickly collected.
