Chapter 19: The Bamboo Rises to the Sky (3)
Yang Qilong was in charge of the boat, and everyone sat in the boat, as if they were a group of sons of a family playing along the river.
Zhu Cijiong did not get on the boat, but let the boat drag the planks and follow the boat.
The fire at the bell and drum tower spread farther, and the raging flames jumped up to the treetops, as if they were on the same level as the moon in the sky.
The fire turned the dark night into half the sky.
The fire finally reached a balance between the officials and the soldiers, and the soldiers in different divisions no longer prevented the officials and the people from fighting the fires across regions.
Yang Qilong knew that he had listened to the persuasion, otherwise, he would really be blocked inside.
……
"Not good!"
Chen Yi suddenly pointed to both sides of the canal and exclaimed: "Brothers, look, it's the Xiao Cavalry Battalion that has been dispatched, looking at their posture, I'm afraid the road will be closed!" ”
Everyone hurriedly looked up, and saw countless soldiers, like moving ants, line by line, along the banks of the pond, quickly advancing forward.
"Is the oil ready?"
Zhu Cijiong took a deep breath.
The Qing court's reaction was fast, and he didn't know how long the secret hands he left in the palace could last.
Gotta get out of town as soon as possible!
Fortunately, he walked towards the north, and he only needed to get out of the inner city wall and leave Beijing City!
If you go south, there is an outer city to cross!
……
Zhu Shangxian nodded: "Childe, don't worry, we are ready." ”
The reason why he followed Zhu Cijiong with all his heart was because Yang Qilong, his distant old watch, made a promise to him-
Look at it, it's the Zheng family, they all got a national surname, known as "Zhu Chenggong", "national surname, "you, the real Zhu family surname, as long as you follow the third prince, you will succeed in restoring the country in the future, and you will be able to lose your benefits?!"
It was because of this sentence that Zhu Shangxian, the Zhu family who was a family five hundred years ago, resolutely followed Lao Biao and embarked on the road of rebellion.
In the original history, when Yang Qilong's rebellion failed, in order to cover Yang Qilong's escape, he was hit by seventeen wounds, and he was heroic.
After all, Zhu Cijiong is not a professional history practitioner, and he does not know such a detailed history.
Naturally, I don't know Zhu Shangxian's loyalty.
He believed that as long as he did not reach the real end of the road, then these people would not betray him.
"Listen to me......"
Zhu Cijiong said his thoughts.
Everyone's eyes sparkled in the dark night!
On both sides of Jishuitan, not only the Xiao cavalry battalion drove over, but even the infantry army also walked over.
There were even groups of soldiers who drove into the streets.
"Get aside! Pull over and check! ”
Just when everyone saw the water gate next to the Desheng Gate, they suddenly saw that there were soldiers on the side of the Chaozong Gate and began to gather.
There is a painting boat that was ordered to dock because it was too close to the water gate......
This pond was built in the Yuan Dynasty to transport grain, and in the Ming Dynasty, because the scale of grain was larger, it was only half by land and half by sea. (At least before the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the ponds contained three seas)
There are many boats on the water, especially on both sides, which are almost full of boats of all kinds.
Hearing that the military master was going to check, all the ships were a little flustered.
Since ancient times, Hades has been better, and the little ghosts are difficult.
But if you are boarded by the Qing soldiers, you don't have a few taels of silver, don't think about it at all!
If you cooperate with me to go back and check, you can lose half of your net worth!
(According to the purchasing power, a tael of silver should be between 1,000 yuan and 2,000 yuan, and if it is calculated according to crops, the price should be higher.) )
"Childe, what should I do, they blocked the water gate!"
Yang Qi was sweating profusely.
Now that they've found out here, it won't be long before the whole city will be covered here!
By that time, they will all be forced ashore!
Zhu Cijiong poked his head out, looked around, pointed to a crowded wharf with grain boats, and said:
"Have you ever taken the oil I asked you to take?"
"Take it, take it, we loaded a hundred and ten pounds!"
Zhu Shangxian took out all the money he had saved up and spent it, and the old eunuch told them to buy ten catties of fire oil, but he felt that it was not safe, so he directly bought a hundred catties!
The corners of Zhu Cijiong's mouth twitched - ruthless, this is a ruthless brother!
He said, "Pour more oil on the roof and hull of this boat, and leave only one man to drive the boat to the wharf, find an upwind outlet, light the boat, and come over!" ”
"Great idea!"
Zhang Yan's eyes lit up.
Cao Liang was the basis for the Qing court to be able to station a large army in Gyeonggi!
If they burned the grain, the surrounding soldiers would definitely come to put out the fire!
Even if someone doesn't come, attention will be attracted to this side!
"What about us?"
Jiao San scratched his head, what should he do?
The third prince didn't say anything!
Huang Ji kicked Jiao San's buttocks: "Stupid, dive!" ”
Huang Ji handed Jiao San a bamboo tube, then grabbed the boat gang and slid into the water.
Jiao San scratched his head embarrassedly and slid into the water.
Chen Yi decided to set the fire himself, he had the best water nature, and he was able to catch up with everyone.
Immediately, the rest of the people took a bamboo tube and dived underwater.
Near the city wall is a canal called the Tonghui River, which is not too deep.
The crowd grabbed the aquatic weeds and sneaked underwater.
Before the time for a stick of incense, Zhu Cijiong touched an iron fence.
Through the murky water, you can see the iron fence extending from the top of the ticket to the bottom of the water.
Some people deliberately dived to the bottom of the water, but they didn't find any gaps that they could get through.
Looking up, I saw that the Qing soldiers on both sides of the strait were holding torches and defending here.
……
Azasu is the leader of the Zhenghuang Banner, leading more than 80 soldiers under his command, before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, his position was called Niu Lu Zhangjing.
"Head, you said that the above hurriedly mobilized us and asked us to come over from Tongzhou, why on earth?"
There are soldiers holding their arms, and Hang Erlang is in charge.
It has been 22 years since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and since entering the customs, the Eight Banners athletes have not fought any hard battles.
Even when they fought Datong, the big landlords in the north, and the Southern Ming Dynasty, they were all led by the generals of the Green Battalion who surrendered in the Ming Dynasty.
The Eight Banners Athletes have long since fallen.
Isn't it good to enjoy this world of flowers? Why war?
Aren't there some green camp animals who are cannon fodder in front!
Besides, this world is not their bannerman, so it's a big deal to grab a handful and retreat outside the border!
Azasu glanced at the guy: "Erheng, don't say that the master didn't remind you, this is the Beizi who personally led the army, if you commit it in the palm of the master's hand, a whipping is indispensable!" ”
