"I understand!" Zhang Yong knelt down and kowtowed solemnly, "I guarantee it with my life."
"Get up. Don't tell anyone else about this. Just act according to the circumstances!" Song Ming said.
In the Sanhezui camp, Chang Qingyun has recently become a "celebrity".
It is not difficult for him to become a "famous person". First of all, Zhao Toyota has specially notified Liu Youzhi to give him preferential treatment. With this "imperial edict", when Liu Youwang found Qiao Niang hanging in front of his bed, he was frightened to death, and then in a furious state, he only gave Chang Qingyun a few slaps, instead of receiving them like other parties involved. A severe beating. Second, Chang Qingyun has been working in the film industry for many years and is very good at coaxing people to flatter Ma Ben. In the past, he had maintained some integrity as a scholar in the prison camp. Although he did not dare to resist, he was not willing to join in the trend.
But ever since he made up his mind to join Yi Haoran's conspiracy, Chang Qingyun realized that getting close to Liu Youyou, the big boss of the camp, would be of great benefit to the overall plan. So he "bears the humiliation and bears the burden" to welcome Liu Hope. In just a few days, Chang Qingyun became Liu Hope's "husband-in-law", having fun with him every day.
Liu hopes to have no idea and is no match for an old fox like Chang Qingyun who has been in the officialdom for many years. He has been around for many years and is familiar with all kinds of amusement games of wealthy people. Compared with Liu Youzhi who can only drink and humiliate women for fun, Chang Qingyun has opened a "door to a new world" for him.
The greatest pleasure of a wealthy family is naturally to maintain a family acting troupe and perform for their own entertainment - speaking of it, this is no longer an entertainment that ordinary wealthy people can enjoy. Since Chang Qingyun wanted to encourage him to have fun, he naturally wanted to do something big.
Under Chang Qingyun's management, actors and musicians who could sing Kunqu opera and local opera (the predecessor of Cantonese opera) were quickly found among the prisoners and refugees in the Sanhezui camp. He knew that Liu Youyou was very lustful, so he encouraged Liu Youyou to search for beautiful women in the camp and force them to learn to sing. Liu Wangwang drank and listened to plays every day, and forced the actress to sleep with him at night. For a time, every young woman in the camp was in danger. The entire Sanhezui camp was filled with complaints. Everyone looked at Chang Qingyun while he was walking on the road, and everyone scolded him behind his back, but no one dared to criticize him in person. On the contrary, he has become a popular figure in the camp like a rocket - almost anything can be done as long as he is willing to come forward and talk to Liu Youyou.
All this news was transmitted to his ears through the internal line arranged by Yi Haoran in the camp. Yi Haoran was a little confused, because the task he gave Chang Qingyun was to try to expand the manpower, set fire to the camp, create chaos, and cooperate with the Gou Er gang who came to rob the camp to attack Sanhezui.
I didn't expect him to make such a big noise! Although pleasing Liu is expected to be beneficial to the work, such a high profile makes Yi Haoran secretly worried for fear of causing any accidents. He quickly sent someone to deliver a message and quietly asked him out.
In order to facilitate contact these days, and to avoid the attention of people in the grain store, Yi Haoran hinted that Wen Tietou could go to his place every day to help with the accounting and management. Wen Tietou was eager for him to come every day, so he immediately told Luo Yangming . Luo Yangming didn't care about him, and felt that he was under the control of his uncle and would not cause any trouble, so he agreed. So Yi Haoran went out of the city early every morning and stayed around the dock until noon before returning to continue teaching Qi Liheng.
Yi Haoran didn't put on airs and quickly won favor among the moving crew. From time to time, Yi Haoran would take the initiative to help Wen Tietou do some errands, making it easier to move around.
"What is your intention to destroy your reputation like this?" Yi Haoran asked during the meeting, "These days, your reputation has become so bad in and outside Wuzhou..."
"Now that I don't even care about my life, do I still care about my reputation?" Chang Qingyun said with a smile.
"Even if you don't want to clear your name, you seduce this Liu Youzhi, a drunken woman. I probably understand what you mean. It's nothing more than killing his ambition and making the people in the camp boil. It will be easier to do it then. But these days, these The news has been vaguely spread to the city. What if Xie Kun feels that Liu Hope is too angry with the public and needs to be replaced? When the new official takes office, there is no guarantee that he will not use your methods to quell the public anger. The overall situation in the camp still needs you. Host..."
"Of course you are right, but from the students' point of view, Xie Kun can't take care of these things now." Chang Qingyun said eloquently, "Right now, transporting grain is his top priority, and big things have to wait until the grain is put into the warehouse. Let’s talk about it later. This Liu Youzhi is no longer in trouble. He has been in charge of the camp so far and has done a lot of bad things. But in official matters, he has not made any mistakes. For Xie Kun, Liu Youzhi is a capable general. For the sake of our few He is not that stupid because of the 'public grievances' of a captive refugee."
These words were reasonable and well-founded. Yi Haoran didn't know how to refute for a moment. He was a little confused about what kind of medicine the other party was selling in his gourd. He heard Chang Qingyun say again: "I persuaded him to make the troupe, and then it will be natural useful……"
"What's the use?"
"It's okay to tell you." Chang Qingyun was confident, "Liu Youwang is very familiar with Zhu Si, the captain of Wuzhou Brigade, and the squadron captain and squad leader of the third squadron responsible for guarding the camp. These officers often come to the camp. Do you know why they have such a secret relationship with Liu Hope?
"Could it be that they are like-minded fair-weather friends?"
"Sir, he is indeed an upright gentleman." Chang Qingyun smiled, "If we say we are fair-weather friends, that's not bad. However, Liu Youzhi is a very poor wine drinker and a vulgar person. He is not an interesting host. This kind of person Even being fair-weather friends is boring. The reason why people like Zhu Si are willing to be fair-weather friends with him is, to put it bluntly, it’s easy to have sex in the camp.”
Yi Haoran suddenly realized this. In the camp, there are not only prisoners from the Battle of Wuzhou, but also refugees who were taken in, as well as family members of officials and officials who were exposed here... Not only are they women, but there are also ladies from all walks of life, as well as jaspers from small families.
Although Liu Wangwang was a lowly official, he had the power of life and death in Sanhezui, and no one in the camp dared to disobey him. For these rough men who fight all year round and have only men around them, it is simply a gentle village. No wonder they wanted to make friends with Liu Hope.
"So that's it!" Yi Haoran said, "This Liu Hope is indeed a shameless villain!"
"So what if it's shameless? This is a great opportunity." Chang Qingyun said, "With this theater troupe, these people will probably come more diligently. Then we can legitimately invite them to watch the theater together..." He smiled, "What do you think of this?"
Yi Haoran was stunned. He didn't expect Chang Qingyun to have such a skill! He has always had a headache with this third squadron. Although the third squadron is not an elite, it has some key veterans and dozens of Nanyang-style troops. He had no confidence that Gou Er's rabble could defeat this squadron in one fell swoop.
But if they continue to watch a play in the name of listening to a play, it is possible to lure these officers into the camp together and disrupt their command. If you are lucky, you can even kill Zhu Si, the captain of the Wuzhou National Army Brigade!
Thinking of this, Yi Haoran's eyes couldn't help but turn to admiration: "Sir, you really have a great talent!"
"A small skill can't be said to be a great talent!" Chang Qingyun said leisurely, "I'm just a scholar. I'm afraid it won't be easy to control the whole crowd. You have to prepare some manpower..."
"To be honest, we do have some comrades in the camp, but we don't have many people. If we take advantage of the opportunity of singing to catch them all, we may not be able to do it..."
"Why is there no way?" Chang Qingyun sneered, "Does Master Yi think that to deal with the Kun thief, we have to fight in front of him with swords and guns?"
"you mean?"
"I'm lobbying him to get a small kitchen by himself. I've already found a cook, but there are always a few helpers in the kitchen..."
Yi Haoran suddenly realized, and secretly despised him. Chang Qing Yungui was a judge, and all his ideas were dirty tricks that were not on the stage. No wonder the recommender came up with the idea of "burning Wuzhou down"!
Xia Sanlan will return to Xia Sanlan. This person's management in the camp has been several times better than what he has planned these days. Yi Haoran had to be convinced. Immediately, he quietly told Chang Qingyun about several of his own people in the camp.
"...These people are all reliable. See if there is any way to recommend them."
"It's easy to say that they are all unknowns. If they are somewhat famous in the camp, it would be difficult to recommend them."
As Chang Qingyun said, Zhu Si often found various reasons to go to Sanhezui these days to "check the defense" or "observe the training situation". In fact, he was just there to collect wine and sex. This path was recommended to him by the squadron leader of the Third Squadron.
This squadron leader, Jiang Yougong, was originally a banner commander in the Ming army. Captured during the Battle of Chengmai. He was originally a bachelor and a scoundrel, working in the army. After being captured, he stayed in Fubo army as a soldier. Jiang Yougong and Zhu Si are quite similar. They are both used to being soldiers in the old army. He was not very adaptable to the new system of the Fubo Army, so he was kicked out of the team soon after and was assigned to work as a farm worker.
Because he was a soldier, he became the militia captain of the farm. This time when he went north, the Senate greatly expanded its army, so Jiang Yougong re-enlisted and became the squadron leader of the National Army.
If it were a national army composed of naturalized people, Jiang Yougong would not dare to act too randomly. However, the squadron he served as the squadron leader was a purely new squadron. Except for the sergeants and a few combat backbones who were naturalized civilians, most of the soldiers came from the surrendered guards around Guangzhou and the Guangdong battalion. It didn’t go through much training—in fact, most of the training didn’t start until Wuzhou. The Third Squadron was stationed alone outside the city again. Jiang Yougong, who had lost his restraint, felt like a fish in water in such a team, and his courage gradually grew.
