Chapter 177 The one who broke the game is already in the formation
"So, it's really hard to find people like this. Bo Yuan, when I was a counselor on the front line, I used spies to go to the thieves to get information. But they only need to be careful and careful to get things done. But if this is the case
To alienate the pirates, you must first share the same boat and drink with them, but you are not a careful person, and then you can do it. I am afraid that there is not a single such person in all the towns in Zhejiang..." Wang Chang listened.
There was no objection to Ruan Yuan's plan of alienation, but there was nothing he could do about the person who wanted to alienate him. He could not find anyone familiar with Ruan Yuan who could meet Ruan Yuan's three requirements at the same time.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came into the ears of the three of them: "Boyuan, Mr. Sun, Mr. Wang, why have you forgotten me again? I heard what you just said, the key you are missing
Apart from me, is there anyone else who can do the job? Boyuan, you see, I have been to punting on the Qiantang River before, and my water skills are not bad. I don’t think it will be difficult to board a pirate ship again."
As he spoke, a figure approached the hall. It was Yang Ji who heard the conversation between the three and came to invite him.
"Yang Ji, do you know what you are talking about?" Ruan Yuan naturally knew the dangers involved. He also knew that Yang Ji was neither from Zhejiang nor had any contact with pirates. How could he feel relieved when he heard Yang Ji recommending himself to join the army?
He scolded: "Do you think you can still do the same thing when you go to the pirates this time after spending a few days exploring information on the Qiantang River? They are completely different! Those fishermen and boat owners on the Qiantang River are not thieves in the first place, so naturally they can chat with you.
Together, even if the crow steals ships, they only do secret robberies on weekdays and don't even dare to kill people. What about pirates? When have pirates ever cared about people's lives? As long as you don't agree with them, they will do whatever they want.
If I give you a knife, your life will be dead! What will you do as an undercover agent then? How will you explain me in front of daddy? "
"Bo Yuan, what you just discussed with the two gentlemen, from what I hear, is that the person who wants to alienate the pirates needs three conditions. The first is that he is one of our people, the second is that he must be integrated with the pirates, and the third is that he must be one of us.
At critical moments, I can fan the flames. Aren’t you talking about me? First, you won’t have any doubts, right? Third, I like to deal with people outside the most. The stranger they are, the more I like them. What about pirates? I think that’s right.
What's my appetite? And I don't do much else on weekdays, but I talk a lot. I don't think there's any problem with this. As for your second point, Bo Yuan, I think you're thinking too narrowly.
Why do you only want to send an undercover agent to be a pirate, but don't think that Zheng Tianxuan might also help you? Or, you have never trusted businessmen, right?"
"What do you mean by this?" Ruan Yuan asked confused.
"Boyuan, you just said that Zheng Tianxuan and one of the pirates named Shui'ao have some agreements, but the other pirates probably won't abide by them, so they can use this tactic to alienate each other. In this case, why do you
We must find someone to pretend to be a pirate to create a wedge between us? You can try what I say, wouldn’t it be more convenient? Let’s first ask Zheng Tianxuan to send a ship and bring a few of their guys with him. I will go with him and go find him.
The Shui'ao Gang said that they were grateful for their kindness in protecting the ship. At that time, will the Shui'ao Gang still kill us smiling people? You said that there may be people in the Shui'ao Gang who want to hijack the ship. That's fine, as long as they
If there is a disagreement, there will definitely be a fight. At that time, if I fan the flames again, won't this plan be completed? What they are thinking about at that time is whether to kill one of Zheng Tianxuan's associates instead of killing me, an undercover agent. This
At that time, I saw that the Shui'ao gang's knife wouldn't move so fast, right?" Ruan Yuan couldn't help but be surprised when he heard what Yang Ji said. Yang Ji said this because he was preparing to pretend to be Zheng Tianxuan's confidant, and
The Zheng family's fleet went to the Shui'ao gang together. In this way, of course, he did not need to disguise himself as a pirate. He only had to make the other party believe that he was a follower of the Zheng family, and the difficulty would naturally be greatly reduced. In fact, using the Zheng family's family members as bait would
It was not that he had not expected the plan, but firstly he really could not trust the businessman, and secondly he would inevitably trouble Zheng Tianxuan, so he rejected it early. But since Yang Ji went with him, these doubts would naturally dissipate a lot.
But even so, Ruan Yuan still had many worries that he couldn't fully resolve, and said: "Yang Ji, don't you think there are flaws in what you just said? You said you can go to the Shui'ao Gang with Zheng Tianxuan's people, that's good
, you are not from the Zheng family. After you go there, how can you make the thieves believe that you are a member of the Zheng family? Do you know half of Zheng Tianxuan's business? If you say something wrong, the thieves will naturally treat you
If you cross-examine in detail, as long as you reveal the truth, not to mention you, the Zheng family will have to be buried with you! Being an undercover agent for you, asking the Zheng family to risk so many lives, can you afford it? "
"Boyuan, are you looking down on me again?" Yang Ji said with a smile: "I really don't know much about Zheng Tianxuan's business, but I can ask and learn from it? It's not like I'm going on this trip by myself, I'm going with him.
There must be some guys from the Zheng family. When the time comes, I will ask about all the troubles one by one. Isn’t it enough? The same goes for these business guys. I like talking to them the most. As for other things, I only said that I have been watching in Wenzhou.
I have a business name, I have never been to sea before, this is my first time, what? Just because it is my first time to go to sea with the Zheng family, are the pirates going to kill me? "
"Aren't you causing trouble for me again? You said you have been in Wenzhou. Have you been to Wenzhou? How much do you know about the situation in Wenzhou? If the thief meets you and asks you about Wenzhou's customs and specialties, you will
If you don’t know anything, don’t you still have to expose it?” Ruan Yuan asked again.
"Boyuan, have you forgotten? Didn't you also go to Wenzhou when you went to supervise schools? Didn't I accompany you there? You were reading papers to students in the government school, and I couldn't understand them.
, those few times I went to Wenzhou, I always ran out to play in the streets and alleys. How could I not know what customs and specialties Wenzhou has? It’s just that you never paid attention. At worst, I will ask again when I go there
People who went with the Zheng family, haven't they heard of this place that they haven't seen yet? How about it, Bo Yuan, do you still have doubts?" I didn't expect this question, but it played into Yang Ji's heart, so he went out to play and observe the customs.
When it comes to favors, Yang Ji is much smarter than Ruan Yuan.
"Yang Ji, we scholars all know a truth, it's easier said than done. You said this, and it looks impressive. If you really meet a pirate, I'm afraid you will tremble before you even open your mouth. Here we go.
I don't think you can come up with any of the preparations you made at that time. I just don't feel at ease if you go like this. I will find someone else and will never let you take risks!" It seems that Ruan Yuan has no words to express.
He refutes Yang Ji, but the sea is dangerous, so how can Yang Ji take him out with just one or two words? So Ruan Yuan is not willing to let him out no matter what.
"Am I the same person as you? When talking on weekdays, you know only six sentences out of ten. As long as I know six sentences, I dare to say ten to others! Don't impose your temper on me!" Yang
Ji saw that Ruan Yuan's rebuttal was unreasonable, so how could he be willing to let go?
Seeing that the two were at loggerheads, Wang Chang couldn't help but come over to persuade him: "Yang Ji, Boyuan is actually right. You have never seen pirates. Who knows what they will say to you if they meet you?"
What if what they say is something you haven't thought of? Besides, I think what you just said has some shortcomings. You said that because the Shui'ao Gang had an appointment with Zheng Tianxuan,
I don’t dare to fight you. But most of these pirates are short-sighted. How many of them will really take the agreement made the year before last seriously? If you go to their ship like this, aren’t you just gambling with your life?”
"Old man, do you think I am gambling?" Yang Ji asked back: "Then I also have a question. I want to ask the old man. You said that Boyuan is here thinking hard about how to fight against the pirates. Is it possible that Boyuan is doing what he is doing now?
, isn’t it gambling? Since it’s still gambling, then wouldn’t it be easier for me to bet on this game with my body and help Bo Yuan win?”
"Yang Ji, this naval battle involves countless officers and soldiers, as well as the lives of ordinary people and merchants. How come you tell me that everything I have planned has become a gamble? I am not looking for a perfect plan now.
Do you want to reduce casualties as much as possible and better attack the pirates?" Ruan Yuan refused to agree with the so-called "gamble".
"You're just betting! Do you think I don't know? You said you want to build ships and cannons, but it will take at least half a year to build new ships and cannons. By then, pirates will be at our doorstep!
In other words, in this battle, we can only use the existing navy and warships to fight against the pirates with more people and bigger ships. Don’t you know this is a gamble? What are you talking about?
, Is there any foolproof strategy in this world? Don’t you also know the details of pirates?” How come Yang Ji doesn’t know Ruan Yuan’s intention to protect him? But since he is facing a formidable enemy, he has no scruples and goes on his way, saying
: "Also, Boyuan, Mr. Wang, you have just been talking about what if, what if. Since it's all just in case, what's the big deal in taking a gamble? Is it possible that we are outnumbered and outnumbered?
At this time, we are required to predict every move and every arrangement of the thieves in advance, and then deal with them one by one? According to me, what we lack most now is to adapt to the situation! Then what you need most now is me.
?"
"Yang Ji, I...even if you go out to gamble today, I will let you go. But you...you have to know that once you go to the pirates, you will bet your life, right?" Ruan Yuan has always strived to have a clean family tradition.
, has never participated in gambling. To say that he allowed Yang Ji to go out and gamble was already a huge concession in words.
"Boyuan, why don't you think about it? The pirates' massive march northward is just around the corner. No matter how you plot it, there will be a fierce battle on the sea. By then, the sacrifice of soldiers will be unavoidable.
Yes? Are they not gambling with their lives? I still say the same thing, since the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, then if we don’t gamble, we have no chance of winning. But if you want to gamble, I will go and choose other soldiers with you.
Go ahead, what's the difference? Am I not more reliable than them? Or, Bo Yuan, you are actually the same as those scholars outside, thinking that the life of a soldier is not a fate, but the life of you scholars, the life of our Ruan family,
Are they worth more than outsiders?" These words were sharp, and they really made Ruan Yuan's heart tremble. It was inevitable for soldiers to sacrifice on the battlefield, so Ruan Yuan didn't care before. In this way, Yang Ji's doubts
