Chapter two hundred and eighty-four the plan of the gods descending from heaven
"ah?"
When Fang Jue told everyone his thoughts, they were shocked and speechless.
"Will this work?"
"Isn't it too dangerous?"
"It's a pity that I haven't learned anything, so I can't help the general."
Most of the people were skeptical. This idea was so crazy, it was as whimsical as flying down from the White Dragon Snow Mountain.
It feels incredible and amazing.
"The feasibility is very high, but even if we enter Prince Ning's mansion quietly, how can we capture Prince Ning and retreat smoothly?" Dianyi asked.
"Brother Dian, do you think the general's plan is really feasible?" Wei Feng was shocked.
He had learned Bamboo Kite recently, and he was so envious when he saw people from the Guards Battalion flying last time.
But even the bamboo kite can't control it, let alone something that I haven't learned yet.
Dian nodded: "When we were in Emperor Zun Pavilion, the young master taught us many things, and the bamboo kite was just one of them."
"According to the young master's idea, we can enter Prince Ning's Mansion, but there are very few people who can go. How can we escape if Prince Ning is captured?"
"Also, General, don't forget that King Ning also has experts around him. Even if he is not as good as Brother Dian, he is still a top-notch expert in the world... How many people are needed to easily defeat him?" Wei Feng reminded.
"If Commander Mo can go, it will be fine." Lin Bei tutted.
Fang Jue shook his head.
Mo Yuan has never practiced these things, so if he is asked to play "Magic Soldiers Falling from Heaven", there is a high probability that he will fall to death directly. That is really unfair.
"Then change your strategy... If you don't want to capture them alive, just kill them." Fang Jueleng said.
"As long as the other main generals are controlled at the same time, Ningzhou will not be in chaos and the transition can be smooth."
"I think it's okay." Everyone agreed.
To capture Prince Ning is nothing more than His Majesty's attempt to show off his methods, which has no practical significance.
Prince Ning has been convicted and whether he kills him or not is a death penalty.
"Over at Ningzhou Camp, let the Yulin Army and the Firearms Battalion drive directly over and block the door. Anyone who dares to mutiny will be destroyed!" Fang Juefa said cruelly.
If you can't solve the problem, then solve the people who created the problem.
"Ningzhou is a princely fiefdom with at least 30,000 standing troops. The Yulin Army now only has 6,000, and the firearms camp only has 800 left." A general reminded.
"Don't be afraid, we have an imperial edict. As long as we speak first, it will be impossible for everyone in the Ningzhou camp to obey King Ning's orders. If the general wants to rebel, he has to ask the sergeants whether they agree." Lin Beixin said.
Why were some rebellious military attachés able to take away the army?
It was not because the soldiers wanted to rebel, but because they deceived the soldiers that they were doing something legal, so that the soldiers did not know the inside story.
Once the soldiers know the inside story, many rebellions will not happen, because becoming a rebel requires hard labor, and in serious cases, it may even involve your family.
Who is willing to risk his or her fortune and life for Shangguan's future?
"General Lin is right. We only need to inform the soldiers of Ningzhou Camp about the news of King Ning's rebellion. If we defend with a large army, Ningzhou Camp will not be in chaos."
"Also, after the operation begins, directly capture the city gate so that Prince Ning cannot defend it."
…
Fang Jue took Dian Yi and a team of troops to take over a caravan and approached Ningzhou City in disguise.
This caravan is the caravan of the Tai'an Chamber of Commerce. It was originally going to Ningzhou to deliver food.
If King Ning wants to rebel, he needs to hoard food. His best choice is to buy it from the Tai'an Chamber of Commerce.
Purchasing a large amount of grain would definitely lead to suspicion, so King Ning created an "accident" and caused a fire in Ningzhou's granary.
Then it makes sense to buy grain from the Tai'an Chamber of Commerce.
In recent days, An Daolun also sent a message to Fang Jue, telling him to be careful that Prince Ning might rebel.
Because even a fool can see that Prince Ning is ambitious, and the food shipped to Ningzhou by the Tai'an Chamber of Commerce has exceeded the standing stock of the Ningzhou government granary.
More importantly, where did Ningzhou’s government office get so much money?
The state capital's treasury silver should have been sent to the Ministry of Revenue at the end of the year, and there was not much money left. This money was provided by King Ning.
Where did Prince Ning get so much money?
Someone must have invested money. Every rebellion in history has been backed by merchants. Even a large number of peasant uprisings have the shadow of aristocratic families or businessmen.
"I really didn't expect to meet the young master here again." An Baili, who was riding a horse at the front of the caravan, smiled and held his hand.
"Huh?" Fang Jue glared at him.
"It's the young master who made a mistake..." An Baili said with a smile.
"You are here for that person, right?"
Fang Jue nodded: "Just send us into the city, into your branch of Tai'an Chamber of Commerce in Ningzhou, and then give us a big yard."
"Is there anything else I can help you with?" Ambry asked.
Fang Jue said: "It's true... you send people around Prince Ning's Mansion and light a few fires around the courtyard wall after dark."
This is to determine the coordinates.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle, but you can pretend to burn paper money for your relatives, and no one will suspect it." An Baili's mind was spinning very quickly.
As he spoke, the city gate was already in front of him.
"Let go!"
Just as he was considering whether to throw away something to prevent being found out, Fang Jue saw An Baili step forward and show a token, and was let go.
Didn't even search for it.
After entering the city, An Baili said proudly: "Now the Tai'an Chamber of Commerce can come and go at will in Ningzhou."
"An Daolun knew that Prince Ning was plotting rebellion, so he still dared to sell grain to him?" Fang Jue said.
"Prince Ning is going to die anyway, so why not make some money from him before he dies? Besides, our chamber of commerce is connected with the government office of the state and has no contact with Prince Ning... No one can say that we are helping Prince Ning raise food.
"
Fang Jue sneered: "As expected of An Daolun, this profiteer is so courageous."
"Ahem..." An Baili coughed, could you please stop mocking his master in front of his disciples?
However, he knew that the master and the young master had a good relationship, so he was not angry at all, he just smiled secretly.
…
"Come, this is it. This is our Tai'an Chamber of Commerce's property closest to Prince Ning's Mansion."
An Baili took Fang Jue and others to the door of a large house, pointed at the door and said:
"This was the former Zhenbei General's Mansion. Unfortunately, the former Zhenbei General Ye Xuanfeng had already taken root in the capital, so this place was abandoned. Later, it was sold to our Tai'an Chamber of Commerce and turned into a separate courtyard for entertaining guests and storing goods."
Zhenbei General Mansion?
Fang Jue looked up and saw the words "Private Residence of Tai'an Chamber of Commerce" written on the door plaque.
As soon as he entered the house, he felt that it was grand. Someone should have cleaned the place, and it was not overgrown yet.
"We haven't made any modifications and kept the previous decorations, but some of the ones that didn't comply with regulations were naturally banned," An Baili said.
As a former general's palace, there are many buildings and accessories here that only high-level military attachés can enjoy.
After it is sold to a businessman, it is natural that some changes must be made, otherwise it will be a crime of transgression.
"Okay, go ahead and lock the door. Don't let anyone get close to here." Fang Jue ordered.
"General, you have come all the way, why don't you eat something before doing anything?" An Baili was very humane and wanted to be a host.
Fang Jue shook his head: "No need, it's getting dark soon, we need to take action immediately."
"Then I'll leave. After everything is done, I'll host a banquet for all the military lords. I hope I can give you some noodles." An Baili handed over his hand.
"It's easy to talk about." The people from the guard camp smiled.
After saying that, An Baili took his confidants and went out.
Lock the house from the outside.
Fang Jue: "Go and seal the cracks in the door so that no one can see what we are doing from the outside."
"Yes." A man came over with a wooden board and iron nails, and nailed the wooden board to the crack of the door.
Fang Juecai waved his hand, signaling for everyone to work together to unfold the things they had brought in.
It was a piece of oilcloth that had been processed a long time ago, and it was very huge.
"You two, nail a wooden basket out. It should be able to put the charcoal and stand up to us people." Fang Jue commanded.
"You, and you, sort out the ropes and cut them into lengths of ten meters each."
They are all descendants of Emperor Zun. Fang Jue has taught them these measurement units, so there is no need to worry about not being able to understand them.
"The stove can start burning."
"The four of you jump to the roof and pull up the tarpaulin from all four directions so that the heat can lift the tarpaulin faster."
"Everyone carries two paragliders, just in case."
After making arrangements for a long time, everyone cooperated tacitly and everything went on in an orderly manner.
A hot air balloon gradually takes shape!
This is Fang Jue's plan, use a hot air balloon to take off, then use a paraglider made of oilcloth to slide down, and enter Prince Ning's Mansion from the air!
As for why we didn’t bring a bamboo kite with better control, it was because the bamboo kite was too heavy and bulky to carry this hot air balloon.
"Young Pavilion Master, look, the cloth has stood up and is about to fly!"
Fang Jue said: "It's not dark yet. If you fly, you will be noticed. Control the fire first, tie the hot air balloon with ropes and heavy objects, and wait until dark before flying."
"Yes." Everyone cooperated and it was quickly perfected. This chapter has been completed!
