Dongzhou, shipyard.
"you sure?"
"So many people have come and you haven't taken action yet?"
Zhang Bao asked the person in front of him curiously.
According to him, he saw dozens of people coming outside the shipyard last night.
But he didn't do anything to the shipyard. Instead, he pointed inside for a long time.
Then he led the people to retreat.
And this person was found in the bunker arranged by Zhang Bao before.
In order to prevent problems at the shipyard, Zhang Bao deliberately dug some tunnels on the high ground near the shipyard.
There will be people guarding it every day.
The entrance to this kind of tunnel is camouflaged with stone slabs and grass. Even if the hidden person does not come out actively, even if he is lying next to him, he will not be discovered by outsiders at all.
This time, when the Japanese came, they happened to be in a deep ditch next to a tunnel. Although they could see it from a high position, they really didn't know what they were talking about.
After all, the Japanese at that time kept their voices as low as possible.
"If this is the case, perhaps action will be taken later."
Zhang Bao waved his hand and asked the man to retreat.
Zhang Bao and Fang Fu had considered the issue of their action before. At present, since these Japanese in Dongzhou can still hide, it means that their number is not very large.
Otherwise, during this process, no matter how careful you are, you won't be able to hide it at all.
And if the number of people is not large, it will not be possible to attack by force. After all, there are many soldiers around the shipyard.
The simplest and most effective method is fire attack.
And if they can get a large amount of kerosene, it will be easy. If there is no kerosene, they can use long-range rockets, but there will be great uncertainty in this process.
After all, if you really attack with rockets, your position will be easily exposed first.
And even if the rocket hits the wood, it is impossible for one or two rockets to burn.
But in this process, as long as the position is exposed, you can basically kill them directly. During this time, they will definitely not shoot too many rockets.
So the best way is to get kerosene and sneak in pretending to be a person.
"Here comes someone!"
Zhang Bao called a few people in.
"You pretended to be merchants and immediately collected all the kerosene in the city at a high price. If anyone asks you what you use the kerosene for, just say that it was left to burn ore."
"Not only in the city here, but also along the entire Dongzhou coast. To spread the news, the main ones who come forward are you."
"Tell them that you are going to transport it inland."
"If someone comes to you and wants to buy some kerosene in bulk, you first ask them for a higher price, and then notify me."
Zhang Bao said to several people.
A few people nodded and quickly went out to work.
"Sir, do you want to monopolize all the kerosene and prevent their plans from proceeding?"
After the people left, Fang Fu walked in from behind.
"Can't proceed?"
"No, no, no, it took a lot of effort for them to find such a way. How can we let them have trouble?"
"If you think about it, these Japanese people here in Dongzhou must have been anonymous and hidden. For the current people, their lives are very miserable."
"But there must be someone supporting them, and these people must be rich."
"Not only are they rich, but they also have a lot of property. Only in this way can these people be hidden. At this time, we naturally have to search for them."
"You don't know. Although Zheng Shiqi didn't say anything, the pressure behind it must be great. They can't get all the money from the Zheng family. Otherwise, for them, they will have split opinions. Bigger.”
Zhang Bao said to Fang Fu with a smile.
"That's right. The Zheng family has contributed a lot to the smooth development of our shipyard before. It's really thanks to their busy work in Dongzhou."
"Sir, do you want people to collect the kerosene from Dongzhou and sell it to them at a high price?"
Fang Fu nodded and asked Zhang Bao.
"That's half right. A high price naturally requires a high price, but I really can't sell it to them."
"If they really have other methods, we can't afford the loss, so we will just give them a few buckets of samples. I plan to replace the rest with water."
"If it's all water, it might still be discovered, so you might as well add more water, so even if it's poured out, it won't be lit at all."
Zhang Bao said to Fang Fu.
"So that's it, then I understand."
"It seems that this time, those aristocratic families connected with the Japanese country will have to deal with it carefully."
"Sir, how do you think we should handle it?"
"This is also a matter of time. There are many people from aristocratic families like them, and many of them are in the officialdom. If they all move, it will be a bit troublesome."
Fang Fu asked with a frown.
"There is no need to kill them all. What we need is to maximize the benefits in this process. If they are willing to use money and people to make up for their mistakes, I will still be very happy."
"Moreover, with the reduction of family property and personnel, can they still maintain their previous status as a noble family?"
"I'm afraid it will be wiped out by other people soon. Dongzhou is so big, every carrot is like a hole. If someone gets up, someone is destined to be killed."
"Once their value is contributed, they will probably be gone."
"Those who collude with foreign invaders are typical brainless people, and they must have no respect for us. There is no need to keep them all."
Zhang Bao explained to Fang Fu.
"Yes, so I can count."
"Then I'll make arrangements as soon as possible."
"There are several aristocratic families who have taken the initiative to get closer to us. This is their opportunity."
Fang Fu nodded.
"By the way, if the Japanese people on the shore start to take action, it means that reinforcements from the Japanese country should be arriving soon."
"During the recent period, we must have people observe the sea surface from high places. This time they come, they will not be one or two ships scattered to land, they will definitely be a large force together. I believe it is not a big deal to find them. Difficult things.”
"Once discovered, the news will be sent immediately. For us, time is very precious."
Zhang Bao reminded Fang Fu.
"But my lord, how can you be so sure that they landed from us?"
Fang Fu was a little puzzled.
If the landing position is wrongly judged, wouldn't all the preparations be in vain?
