late at night.
The area around the shipyard is very quiet.
Ever since Zhang Bao decided to lure the enemy deeper and transported the ships away from the shipyard overnight, he had moved almost all the people in the shipyard.
The number of people in the outer barracks has also decreased a lot.
The purpose is to quell the chaos in Dongzhou.
After all, during this period, the rebellion in Dongzhou was quite fierce.
At the beginning, to be honest, there were still some people from Dongzhou who followed the Japanese to cause trouble. Most of them were wealthy businessmen and their common people.
But later on, they gradually disappeared.
For the people of Dongzhou, who have been doing business for generations, in their bones, they always balance maximizing interests.
It is too difficult for them to rebel.
Most of them are businessmen, and even some aristocratic families, unlike the aristocratic families in other places, have their own various industries due to their power.
At the beginning, I was provoked by these Japanese people and had some ideas about the future, so I participated.
At that time, for them, they could not really see the pros and cons of this matter clearly.
But doing business itself is a matter of gambling.
Just like when they were doing some markets before, they bet all their wealth. If they succeed, they will be prosperous and wealthy, with no worries about food and clothing. If they fail, they will be completely ruined and their families will be ruined.
Those of them who have some power, think back to the beginning, they all experienced life and death like this, step by step.
This process of doing business is actually exactly the same as the process of gambling.
Gambling skills and business abilities are the same.
But gradually, these businessmen felt something was wrong.
The facts are completely different from what these Japanese people said.
They, the Japanese, all relied on Dongzhou's forces to hide themselves, and were driven around like rats on the street.
In the end, he left them alone and went to do something himself.
When the rest of the people saw it, they gradually became more honest.
Zhang Bao was a little speechless.
did not expect.
It is true that the soil and water of this place nurture a person. What kind of atmosphere and environment do you grow up in, and what kind of thoughts you will have.
So throughout history, some places are prone to generals, some places often produce champions, and some places often have rebellions.
This is also closely related to local inheritance.
Rebellion is simply not feasible in Dongzhou.
Just like before, Dongzhou had the fewest troops.
Moreover, the Dongzhou Prefect at that time was also the least in charge. He did not need to station troops in various places, but concentrated his troops in the hands of four generals.
Compared with Hezhou.
Hezhou has high mountains and dense forests, frequent disasters, and basically no way to survive. It also has unique conditions for rebellion. For the people of Hezhou, there are quite a lot of bandits.
After the reputation of the rebellion in Dongzhou was suppressed, Zhang Bao became a little anxious.
Now that the Japanese reinforcements have not arrived, the rebellion has been put down, which is really meaningless.
There was no other way, so Zhang Bao had to find someone to pretend to make trouble. The anti-thief forces were quite large, and the officers and soldiers they fought were retreating steadily.
It has gained quite a reputation in Dongzhou.
It can attract some people who want to rebel against Zhang Bao to join him. For Zhang Bao, this will naturally become a self-inflicted trap.
It's just that it's not time to close the net yet.
At this time, many dark shadows appeared around the shipyard.
They were all wearing night clothes, and there were quite a few of them. Many of them were carrying buckets of things in their hands.
Quietly moving towards the door of the shipyard.
For them, they must be as cautious as possible during this process and not make any noise.
On the other side of the shipyard, there were some people walking, but they did not hide their whereabouts, but headed towards Daxia's barracks with great fanfare.
This group of people was large, numbering in the thousands, and they all held weapons ranging from wooden sticks in their hands.
at this time.
On a hillside not far from the shipyard.
In an unobservable place, a pair of eyes were exposed, staring at the person moving among the black shadows in the distance.
"Sure enough, just as adults expected, these people have already come out."
"And the troops are divided into two groups."
"Now it's interesting."
After watching it alone for a while, he quietly took it back.
actually.
Not only this pair of eyes, but also many people around the shipyard were secretly staring at the approaching Japanese.
They naturally know what these Japanese people are here to do.
But it's clear that now is not the time.
The task Zhang Bao gave them was to monitor and finish things off.
At that time, if these people lose control and escape after setting the fire, this is their chance.
Zhang Bao's order made it impossible for these Japanese people to come back.
At this time, at the gate of the barracks, the soldiers on duty had spotted the approaching group of men and immediately started warning and shouting.
Soon, all the troops from the barracks rushed out.
But regarding Zhang Bao's previous arrangement, the number of people and horses currently in the barracks is far less than those who surrounded them.
Among these people, the vast majority are servants from aristocratic families who have good relations with the Japanese.
During this process, they naturally would not let the Japanese die on their own. They deceived the wealthy households in Dongzhou to send people out to die, and their people were waiting to stay here and wait for opportunities to cause trouble.
After all, fighting with people in those barracks is very dangerous.
And even the Japanese in Dongzhou are not all masters. Even if they attack the barracks, they will be killed.
"Boss, I feel almost done."
"Look, there are many people at their shipyard who have come out for reinforcements. We have gathered almost a thousand people this time. Those soldiers are no match at all!"
at this time.
The Japanese lying in the grass were also watching the situation in the distance closely.
The barracks in Dongzhou had been burned down, and the surrounding area was ablaze. Many people were fighting in the flames.
"Well, this time the plan is really good!"
"Let their people in Daxia engage in dog-eat-dog fighting. This is our good opportunity!"
The Japanese boss said to them.
"It's almost time, everyone, get ready and rush in with me immediately."
"Remember, everyone is keeping an eye on the dock where they are going to set fire. Don't worry about anything after entering. Just pour the oil and set the fire. After setting the fire, run away immediately and let the Daxia people kill each other!"
The Japanese boss said to everyone.
"Come at me!"
The Japanese boss took the lead and ran out with the bucket, heading towards the dock directly ahead.
