Chapter 542544. True or False
Early the next morning, the temporary small port
Zhou Shixiong and Gu Wenheng arrived at the port early and watched all the soldiers take their positions.
Deputy General Wang and several staff members who led the troops this time were already standing at the port.
"I have repeatedly told you that you should act according to circumstances once you are out at sea."
Deputy General Wang and several staff members quickly agreed. Although this journey was unknown and dangerous for them, it was also accompanied by great opportunities.
What's more, in addition to confiscating several large ships, they also had the escort provided by the ship newly built by Madam Gu, which gave them more confidence.
Prince Zuo Tengshang, who had returned anxiously, was also standing on the shore at this moment, staring at the large ship behind him in amazement. They did have such ships, but they were all used exclusively by the king.
Isn't it said that the Rong Dynasty can only build some small fishing boats? Where did the thing in front of him come from?
Feeling that he had regained his identity, he arrogantly asked Xiao Xianfeng who was standing beside him, "Where did this ship come from? Did you also rob merchant ships from other countries?"
Xiao Xianfeng looked down at him with disdain, "Look at this brand new boat. It was just launched yesterday. If your eyesight is not good, you should see a doctor."
I don’t know if it was a deliberate arrangement, but now, all the people standing next to Teng Shang are tall and strong men.
They all kept their heads down and looked at them while talking, which made Prince Zuo feel so angry that he really wanted to chop off all these people's legs!
But now he only dared to think about it, just like now, a small pioneer dared to talk to him like this.
When he returns to Dongyi, he will definitely teach these arrogant people a lesson.
"It's getting late, why haven't you boarded the ship yet?" Thinking that they would soon arrive at his home ground, Prince Zuo rushed forward and urged.
"This is our first time going out to sea, so we naturally have to choose an auspicious time. If you are tired, just sit here and rest." Xiao Xianfeng pointed to the sand in front of him, then turned his head to chat with his colleague next to him, not wanting to pay any more attention to him.
At the last moment when all the soldiers were boarding the ship, Gu Wenheng finally met the person he was waiting for.
Looking at the rice paper handed over by Ah Qi, Gu Wenheng smiled with relief.
Zhou Shixiong next to him also took a few glances and was immediately attracted.
"Is this what you were waiting for?"
Gu Wenheng put the paper he had read into Zhou Shixiong's hand and said, "With this, Vice General Wang and his men will be able to act more easily.
It seems that those people who were abandoned by Teng Shang still have hatred in their hearts, and they confessed so clearly. "
Zhou Shixiong handed all the confessions to several staff members for them to study. "No wonder you agreed to give him three candidates yesterday. You must have instigated internal discord among them first.
But you are not afraid that these people are loyal, after all, their families are in Dongyi."
These people were really ruthless. They gave a clear account of all the ports of Dongyi, even which side had stronger military forces and which side had lax defense. They explained everything.
Gu Wenheng, "So this is human nature. I just let people reveal a little bit to let them know that even if they are loyal to Dongyi in the future, their families left in Dongyi will not get any benefits, and may even be suppressed in various ways.
As a group of people who have been abandoned and left behind, as long as someone shows weakness, the gap will be opened.
Not everyone can sacrifice themselves generously, after all, they all have weaknesses.”
The mountain bosses who were captured before were only holding on tightly because they still had hope in their hearts that their Prince Zuo would come to rescue them.
It’s different for those who are facing being abandoned personally. They have resentment in their hearts, and hatred can be easily aroused.
Deputy General Wang looked at Gu Wenheng with admiration, otherwise he must be a cunning scholar.
Seeing that they had not yet paid attention to the main point, Gu Wenheng could not help but remind them, "You should check the route map. I think the route is a little off."
Several staff members were shocked and quickly walked aside, took out the previous navigation map, compared the two, and immediately discovered the problem.
"Which one of these is the real one?"
Zhou Shixiong narrowed his eyes and looked at Prince Zuo Tengshang not far away, "What good will he get from doing this?"
"Brother Zhou, do you think he is also on the boat, just a grasshopper on the same rope?"
Everyone, “…” isn’t it?
Gu Wenheng walked over and pointed at the two bends, "Don't underestimate this route because it's just a small deviation. It will take a lot more time.
Think about it, there are so many people on the ship, what will happen if they can't find supplies in time? "
What will happen?
There will be a shortage of water and food, and if we are hungry we will have no fighting power.
By then, so many people will either become prisoners or change their situation and become dependent on others.
By that time, Prince Zuo Tengshang, who has returned to his home court, will naturally be able to take control of the home court.
"You are such a thief with such a heart."
"I'll go over and beat him now." Deputy General Wang said gritting his teeth.
Gu Wenheng sneered and said, "Now that we have a new navigation map, we don't have to bother with him.
Just let him be proud for a while, and when he gets on the boat, you guys will mess with him."
Vice General Wang, "Master Gu is right. Let him be proud for a while."
Gu Wenheng, “Although there are only four of them now, they are cunning and despicable, so you have to be on guard.
If possible, don't let them walk around on the boat, but if not, chain them up."
If the ship behind was not the painstaking work of his wife and himself, and if so much real money had not been invested in it, Gu Wenheng would not have wanted to explain it over and over again like an old nanny.
Vice Admiral Wang, "Your Excellency means that they will sabotage the ship."
Gu Wenheng, "How would I know? However, these people are cunning, so you'd better be more careful."
Fortunately, he was accompanied by several staff members this time, otherwise, given Lieutenant General Wang's straightforward character, he would have immediately towed his ship back to the port.
Vice Admiral Wang, who had no idea that he was being looked down upon, looked at Gu Wenheng with admiration, "Master Gu, what you said makes sense. Once we are on the ship, I will immediately separate them and detain them, and have someone watch them all day. No matter how many plans they have, they will all be in vain."
Gu Wenheng touched his nose and sympathized with them for a second in his heart, "General Wang, it's fine as long as you have a plan in mind."
Prince Zuo, who was far away, suddenly felt a chill on his back. "After the beginning of autumn, even the sea breeze has become cold, and the clothes I am wearing are still thin. Go and tell General Zhou to return the bags we brought with us."
Xiao Xianfeng ignored him. Prince Zuo cursed at him and repeated it again while staring at Xiao Xianfeng.
Xiao Xianfeng looked at him coldly, "Don't forget, you are still a prisoner.
We are about to board the ship. If we miss the auspicious date for boarding, we can only reschedule. Which one do you want to choose?"
