Chapter 1307: The Harbinger of the World's Clearing
PS: Thank you for the monthly tickets voted by book friends "Liang Mengchang" and "Little Lotus Tiger".
Politics is always the most ruthless and dirty.
Zhang Tongchang's original intention was to use the hands of the Qing army to weaken the strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army, so as to consolidate the imperial power.
Originally, the butt decided the head, and the position was different, he was loyal to the emperor and suppressed Wu Zheng and the Northern Expeditionary Army, which is also beyond reproach.
Maybe there is a trace of a dirtier thought in his heart, that is, he wants to borrow the hand of the Qing army so that Wu Zheng can never return to Hangzhou Mansion, of course, for this, no matter who he is in front of, he will never admit it.
As a politician, Zhang Tongchang is qualified, and after learning that Liao Zhongping's left camp and Xia Wanchun's Jianyangwei had crossed the river to attack without authorization, Liao Zhongping quickly changed his plan, that is, to take advantage of the situation.
Following the trend is the culmination of politics.
The so-called tide is mighty, and those who stand in its way will be crushed.
More than 200,000 troops of the Yixing Dynasty, half of them have already expressed their attitude, and then they will be forced to rebel, maybe the left battalion and Jianyangwei will fight back, if the Northern Expeditionary Army that is marching to Jiangbei cooperates a little, Ying Tianfu will be attacked from three sides, and it will be in danger.
Therefore, Zhang Tongchang's "rapidity", to be more precise, is a kind of helplessness, perhaps he is sighing that the will of heaven is like this, and it is not a crime to conspire.
However, the palace is like a big dye vat, where the white goes in, the black comes out, the good go in, and the evil come out.
What kind of family, friendship, and love are all a fart.
Zhu Yujiao's eyes are no longer clear after all, except for a trace of conscience, she has also done whatever it takes to achieve her goals.
But in any case, the evolution of the situation is beyond everyone's expectations, even if it is heaven, it will sigh, people's hearts are unpredictable!
Overnight, [fo] Yixing attacked the left camp and Jianyang Weidu Jiangbei to the north, and the consequences were a series of consequences.
First of all, the imperial court quickly promulgated the edict of declaring war, and the entire Yingtianfu ended the singing and feasting, of course, the right camp will never move, this edict, that is, it shows an attitude, the only thing that is meaningful to the war is that this is no longer the private action of the general's mansion, in a general sense, this is a national war that was finally recognized and authorized by the imperial court.
At the same time, Huang Daozhou and Ma Shiying were quickly released, of course, this is not called release, according to Zhang Tongchang, this is called appearance.
The return of the Zodiac Zhou finally led to the backwater of the cabinet, and the six ministries finally began to enter a state of combat readiness.
As a result, the imperial court urgently recruited the strong, and countless materials in the capital began to be sent to Longtan and Taipingfu.
……。
And at this time, Suncheonfu.
Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong finally made a move.
Qian Qiaogong brought about 100 henchmen of the spear cavalry battalion into the capital as his entourage.
At the same time, Shen Zhiyuan summoned more than 300 Changlin Wei experts in the capital through Qian Qianyi.
Together, there were five hundred.
This is already an armed force that should not be taken lightly.
That night, according to the direction of Donggu's investigation, a surprise attack was launched on Prince Rui's mansion.
It stands to reason that this should be an action with at least a fifty percent chance of winning, of course, after rescuing people, whether they can get out of the city is another matter, at least in Shen Zhiyuan's opinion, Chang Linwei has a hidden line at the south city gate, which can be used.
But Shen Zhiyuan hesitated in his heart, for more than two years, he paid a huge price and retreated like this? But whether he is willing or unwilling, Shen Zhiyuan also knows that even if he stays any longer, he will not be able to truly gain the trust of the Qing court or Dolgon.
The most important thing is that when Shen Zhiyuan knew that Dolgon was going south and took 30,000 new troops with him, he ...... I'm scared.
Shen Zhiyuan was afraid that the Northern Expeditionary Army would be lost in the hands of these 30,000 new troops, and he would really become the traitor he didn't want to be.
Shen Zhiyuan had to change his plan, take advantage of Dolgon's absence in the capital, rescue the people he wanted to save, and then take Gongbeicheng (Wanping) himself and Qian Qiaogong's descendants to break through to the south.
According to Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong's plan, this operation has a great success.
Dolgon took away tens of thousands of troops, and the Gyeonggi guards were thin, as long as they left the capital, with nearly 3,000 lancers in Gongbei City, they could completely break through to the south.
The so-called plan is in people, and success is in heaven.
As is often the case, things always go wrong in the most undesirable or unlikely places.
Prince Rui's Mansion, as Dolgon's "small military and political court", has a very strong defense, so after deduction, Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong felt that no matter which direction they attacked, they would quickly alarm the palace guards in the mansion.
In this way, the division of forces diluted the offensive forces.
Therefore, the two decided to concentrate their forces and storm the main gate, only in this way can they quickly break away before the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing react.
After the start of the operation, everything went smoothly.
Qian Qiaogong's spear battalion quickly routed the guards outside Prince Rui's mansion and approached the main gate of the palace.
Subsequently, Chang Lin Wei blasted the gate of the palace with gunpowder, and after the three-person tall and half-foot-thick solid wood gate was pushed inward by the explosion and collapsed, Chang Lin Wei and the lancers poured in.
This is not that Shen and Qian are not thoughtful, it stands to reason that such an operation cannot be rushed in, and a reserve team of at least 100 people must be deployed outside in case of accidents.
But the troops were originally lacking, and the two of them wanted to be caught off guard by surprise, so that they could take advantage of the chaos to save people.
At the same time, the more people who enter the house, the sooner it will be finished and time will be gained.
But the problem is that after rushing into the gate of the palace, before reaching the middle hall, countless ambushes appeared in the courtyard walls, houses, corridors and other places, one by one, bending bows and strings, ready to shoot.
Countless armor soldiers poured out behind him, sealing Shen and Qian's retreat.
Immediately afterwards, countless torches were lit, illuminating the entire middle and front yards as if it were daytime.
At this point, even a fool can think of it if he is afraid, and he is ambushed.
Qian Qiaogong panicked, and shouted at Shen Zhiyuan angrily: "We have been betrayed...... Fight! ”
As he drank, he turned around and raised his gun to shoot at the armored soldiers behind him.
But he was dragged by Shen Zhiyuan, "I can't get out." ”
"If you can't get out, you have to ...... Do you want to wait to die? ”
Shen Zhiyuan said loudly: "Listen to my orders and stop resisting." ”
"You bastard!" Qian Qiaogong was furious.
Shen Zhiyuan pointed to the crossbowman in the distance and said to Qian Qiaogong: "You see clearly...... If they wanted to release the arrows, they would have released them a long time ago, and if they haven't released the arrows by this time, it means that they don't want to kill us yet...... If you force your way through, you'll kill everyone. ”
This made sense, Qian Qiaogong gradually calmed down, he looked left and right and said, "What do they want?" ”
At this time, a childish voice came from the middle hall, "The forehead is right, if you descend, you can live, and if you resist, you will definitely die." ”
When Shen Zhiyuan heard this voice, his face changed, "Shizi? ”
