"Well, once they bring back the exact information, our plan to attack along the Changniu Railway can be officially put on the agenda."

Jin Tianlong sat down again, stretched out his two long legs, put his hands behind his back, looked up at the roof in trance. He said quietly:

"During this period, I heard that Meishan Town was in chaos. After Chen Tianhua joined the Jianshe Road team, he offended various gangs and officials, including Peng Zuo from Zhongyi Hall. I heard that there were even conflicts between Peng Zuo and Ye Lun from Zhongyi Hall.

We can use these people if necessary. They all belong to Hongmen after all. We can attack the line from Changxing to Meishan Town first, and if necessary, gather various gangs and take the opportunity to capture Meishan Town."

"My foster father has seen that Chen Tianhua in Meishan Town only has a security platoon of more than 40 people, and the most reliable guard platoon in Shaler, the town office, is a security platoon of more than 40 people. The remaining more than 300 security teams are mostly from the Zhongyi Hall.

If they can remain neutral, we can easily take over Meishan Town." Jin Chengyi agreed.

"Humph, it's not difficult to keep Zhongyi Hall neutral. Peng Zuo's group and Shaler are seemingly inseparable from each other. As long as we promise them something and give them some benefits, it's no problem to keep them neutral.

"

Jin Tianlong was very familiar with this kind of tactic of sowing discord. He thought that he had successfully created the Charlie incident by cooperating with Zhongyi Hall He Renbao.

This time, he can repeat his old tricks and create another Charlie incident, leaving the British and Sheng Xuanhuai to investigate without any solid evidence.

"All this depends on the strategizing of the adoptive father." Jin Tianlong swept the mountain of information on the carpet and said in surprise:

"With so much information, my adoptive father has been analyzing and reading it carefully in the account these days?"

Jin Tianlong nodded, sat up straight, rubbed his neck, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, it seems that my neck is sore."

Jin Chengyi said flatteringly: "There are only more than a hundred guards in a Meishan town. Is it worth the effort of my adoptive father?"

"Of course there is nothing to worry about in Meishan Town, but Chen Tianhua is a tiger and a wolf." Jin Tianlong glanced at his adopted son and said in a deep voice:

"Yi'er has never dealt with this Chen Tianhua, so she doesn't know anything about it. This man is resourceful, wise and brave. My sworn brother has been defeated by him before, so we can't be careless."

"Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be invincible in a hundred battles. This is often said in ancient military books. Now Chen Tianhua has joined forces with the British to build a railway, and he has his own strategy and ambition."

"Chen Tianhua's road construction troops are said to number 30,000. His guard troops at various strongholds add up to nearly a thousand, and they are relatively close to the Wuxing garrison. We cannot engage in positional warfare with them. We can first use harassment tactics to destroy them.

The purpose of infrastructure is to build roads and trains.”

"In the past, our Taihu Gang lacked heavy-duty attack weapons. At that time, the Japanese were unwilling to give them. Today, we have them. This time, the Japanese unloaded many machine guns, small steel cannons, etc. from the Hangzhou Bay warships and sent them

Military advisers came to the island to secretly train our troops."

Jin Tianlong pulled out a book from the mountain of materials and shook it at Jin Chengyi, "Yi'er must study these military training manuals hard and strive to compete with Chen Tianhua on the battlefield."

"Thank you for your foster father's guidance. Yi'er will definitely work hard and learn how to form troops so that she can compete with Chen Tianhua on the battlefield in the future." Jin Chengyi stood up from his chair, cupped his fists and bowed.

"Okay, you go ahead. Once all the spies have arrived, report back to me. I will then arrange the next action plan."

"Understood, Yi'er said goodbye." Jin Chengyi bowed his hands and resigned.

After the adopted son left, Jin Tianlong took out a few marked files and began to study them again.

He is now like Gou Jian, the king of Yue, who was forced to endure hardships and vowed to capture Chen Tianhua and others alive, and had to convulse and pull out their bones to relieve his hatred.

…

The tenth day of August.

Meishan Town, Changniu Railway Construction Headquarters Compound.

As the sun sets and the autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves, the gray-white three-story building stands there alone, looking a little desolate.

On the east side of the third floor, a floor-to-ceiling window was half-open, and a tall figure stood there, frowning at Yu Xia in deep thought.

Sparks flickered from the British pipe in his mouth, and the puffing sound was accompanied by smoke rising and raging in front of the window.

On the large office desk behind him, under several writing stones, were several emergency reports from the construction site, which sounded chaotically in the autumn wind blowing in from the window.

Urgent report: Our stronghold was attacked by dozens of armed horse bandits. Seven road construction workers were killed and injured, two guards were killed and one was injured.

Urgent report: Our southeastern lumberyard was burned down. Hundreds of square ties were destroyed by the fire, along with tents. There were six casualties.

Urgent report: The material transport team transporting goods from Changxing Pier was attacked. Seventeen people were killed or injured among the escorting personnel, and some of the materials were robbed.

…

During this week, there were more than a dozen emergency calls in succession, all of which were attacked by unknown armed horse bandits, seriously disrupting the road construction project.

All of a sudden, these attacks seemed to fall from the sky. They were all small-scale attacks, and the opponents were all cavalry and Murata-style rifles. They hit and run, never willing to fight.

This is not like ordinary horse bandits, because horse bandits are based on the premise of robbing supplies. Under normal circumstances, they will not burn sleeper yards and shoot lumberjacks.

Moreover, these attackers were well-equipped and hit-and-run, as if they were organized and premeditated.

I don’t know which gang it belongs to, but it’s definitely not Zhongyitang. Firstly, they don’t dare, and secondly, they don’t have these weapons.

At this time, the door creaked open and Sun Yong came in.

"Young Master, you may have found out the details."

"Say it." Chen Tianhua remained motionless, with the pipe in his mouth.

"According to reports from insiders, these horse bandits are not ordinary bandits. They are members of the Taihu Gang. They are either sub-rudders or small groups of bandits who have been recruited by them."

Sun Yong said in a low voice.

The New Army established a special agent platoon two years ago. Later, on this basis and under the planning of Chen Tianhua, Li Cunzhi agreed to establish a detective team.

That is to say, the special agent platoon performs special tasks, expands the military intelligence station and military intelligence team, and absorbs field personnel, spies, and informants.

The entire detective team is in charge of General Sun Yong. The current captain of the detective team is Lin Erhu. Before joining the army, he had stayed in Hongmen.

"Hongmen Taihu Gang?" Chen Tianhua exclaimed and turned around, "Who is the current leader of the Taihu Gang?"

"Gold...Heaven...Dragon..." Sun Yong read word by word. He knew that the eldest young master was too sensitive to this person.

"The road between enemies is narrow!" Chen Tianhua exhaled a puff of smoke and said slowly: "The storm is about to come, and it seems that we are really going to have a big fight this time."

Hearing the news that Jin Tianlong escaped from death row, Chen Tianhua had a premonition that this guy would not give up. He did not expect that he would regain his position as the hall leader so quickly.

And there are also Japanese people standing behind them, otherwise where would the Murata firearms and Japanese horses come from?
