According to Leng Qing’s explanation, there are currently three hostile forces in Sarawak.
The first group is the Francois who are currently relying on others. They use this place as a stronghold in Nanyang and pursue long-term plans.
The second group is the political forces in Sarawak. As far as foreign policy is concerned, their differences are not too big.
The third group is a mysterious force with unknown motives. They are stirring up trouble here, but they don't know what they want.
Let’s talk about them one by one.
The relationship between the first two has been proven, and the purpose of their cooperation is to use each other and get what they need.
The Franchis used Sarawak as a foothold to continue their grand plans for colonial expansion. The latter used the former's extraordinary military power to suppress the military expansion of the Qiongzhou Army.
Most Sarawak politicians believe that Qi Yuyu’s claws have been getting longer and longer in the past two years. According to the current speed, it will not be long before Qi Yuyu comes here.
The only solution is military resistance, otherwise it will be impossible to defeat his minions. Nowadays, there is a Franco machine to fight the enemy on his behalf, so why not do it?
This is what each side wants.
As for the unknown force, currently we only know that they are Chinese, and other aspects are all possible speculations.
These speculations were all clues that Leng Qing found out by taking advantage of the opportunity of hanging out in the Sarawak Palace.
It's a pity that she has only been here for a short time and does not have a transcendent status. Otherwise, she would definitely be able to collect more useful information.
Let’s talk about her analysis first.
Leng Qing felt that there was likely to be some complicated relationship between this mysterious force in Sarawak and the royal family of the Dafeng Dynasty.
There are two reasons for this:
First of all, these people are highly disciplined, move quickly, and cooperate rigorously, with almost no omissions on the surface. This style of conduct would never exist anywhere else except the imperial family of Dafeng Dynasty.
Secondly, the martial arts used by these people are the same as mine. They are especially good at sneaking cold attacks, and they are clean and quick, and they kill decisively without any sloppiness. Judging from this, they are likely to be from the Royal Guards.
Based on the above two points, Leng Qing has reason to believe that this dark force should be related to the royal family of Da Feng Dynasty.
Hearing this, Xiaotong interjected: "I once killed a masked man with strong martial arts skills in that village. Could it be that this man belongs to this mysterious force?"
Yes, that person is not only good at sneak attacks, but also acts decisively, which is completely in line with the style of the royal internal guard that Leng Qing said.
"Yes, that's exactly who he is."
Xiaotong suddenly said: "No wonder!"
Leng Qing sighed helplessly and said with a wry smile: "If I weren't afraid of their existence, I wouldn't be so timid." After a pause, she added: "The same is true for your industry. Without their participation, you There will never be such a heavy loss.”
Xia Tong was a little confused when he heard this, so he asked, "How do you say this?"
"As far as I know, according to the original plan of the Francois, they planned to locate the military supplies warehouse at the seaside dock. However, later, they followed the advice of the mysterious forces and changed the warehouse to that stockade. .If we didn’t change, there wouldn’t be your failure last night.”
After a pause, Leng Qing continued: "The Francois had suffered the loss of a sneak attack before, so they readily accepted this suggestion this time."
"That's right..."
Leng Qing added: "In addition to making suggestions, this force also sent a group of martial arts masters to the Franco people as a form of friendship."
Xiaotong snorted when he heard this: "Being called a master? Do they deserve it? They are just a bunch of scoundrels."
Leng Qing smiled at her angry words and continued: "After these experts arrived, they helped Franji greatly. Through on-site surveys, they made new drawings and changes to the plan to strengthen the city and improve defense. . For example, the gunpowder magazine you blew up last night was blocked by steel plates inside and out. At that time, if personnel were not used to ignite the gunpowder, but only relied on muskets for shooting, it would be absolutely difficult to succeed."
Like This!
No wonder!
The topographic map of the stockade would be hidden on the body of the person he killed. Unexpectedly, this was the reason.
After thinking about it for a while, Xiaotong raised her doubts again: "Aunt Leng, you just said that that force had sent 'a lot' of experts to help, but I only met one. This seems a bit sorry. Come on? Could it be that there is an error in the information you received? "
You must know that one and one are two different units. How can we ignore them?
"I'm sure!" Leng Qing first gave an affirmative answer, and then explained: "Actually, there were six masters stationed in that village. And yesterday afternoon, I happened to lead five of them out , so you only met one."
Xiaotong was very curious when he heard this and asked quickly: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Leng Qing smiled lightly and said, "Don't be impatient, just listen to me and explain in detail."
"Yeah, that's fine!"
"..."
Next, Leng Qing briefly explained the events before and after her trip.
Not long ago, she accidentally found out that the Kingdom of Java had aided Sarawak with a batch of fodder for war horses, which was currently being stored at the dock on the north coast.
Forage is one of the important military supplies and must not be treated lightly.
Therefore, Sarawak sent about 300 sergeants to conduct strict defense to prevent losses.
But Leng Qing's idea was to find a way to set it on fire. This would only benefit Qiongzhou and have no harm.
Well, just do it.
So, she quietly left the Sarawak Palace, and then slowly walked toward the pier.
It was a coincidence that when she was about to arrive, she unexpectedly met Clark who was out hunting for women, and then she followed him to the small village.
Leng Qing knows Clark?
Of course, Leng Qing had been responsible for guarding the ghost guy for a period of time after he was arrested in Qiongzhou. Although times have changed, it is not like they don't know each other.
After touching the location of the small village, Leng Qing decided to take advantage of the night to explore it.
She set up the escape rope in advance and then sneaked in without anyone noticing.
After going through some troubles, she finally found the location of the gunpowder magazine.
Hearing this, Xiaotong not only interrupted her and said: "I said, since you have already checked the location of the warehouse, why don't you just blow it up?"
"Blow it up?"
Leng Qing shook her head decisively and said calmly: "Exploding the gunpowder magazine is an act of destruction. Whoever goes there will die. I am living well, why should I go to death?"
fear death?
well……
Xiaotong felt regretful and said: "There is a saying in the Analects: Sacrifice one's life to be benevolent, and one will be of great use; those who are stingy will lose, and those who are exhausted will be rewarded. Those who can make sacrifices for the sake of the nation are the real heroes. If, Everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death, so who else is willing to be a soldier?"
Leng Qing completely turned a deaf ear to this sarcasm. She still looked at ease and said: "To tell you the truth, my purpose of coming to Sarawak is just to gain some self-interest and has nothing to do with the interests of the family and the country. . Is it possible that I want to steal the chicken but lose the rice and put my own life in it?"
It can be seen that due to the different positions of the two people, their concepts are completely opposite.
Xiaotong sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, keep talking."
