"My lord, something is wrong, the operation has failed, Lin Yi is leading a large number of Ming troops to chase down the assassins with all their might......"

Hong Chengchou listened to the report of his generals, and was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, he was really afraid that there would be ghosts in the gods, and the assassination failed and the action failed, which was what he was most worried about.

If the thing succeeds, the Ming army is leaderless, and the military camp will inevitably be in chaos, and the regent has prepared tens of thousands of troops, and the Ming army can be wiped out if he rushes over, and then the Ming Dynasty will be divided into chaos, and then, the Manchu Eight Banners can cross the Great Wall, drive straight in, and dominate the world is just around the corner.

But how did the operation fail? The master of Ouchi selected by Dolgon and the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang is so good and so meticulously strategic, it should be foolproof, it is really God's eyesless.

"My lord, what's next?" The lieutenant general under his command stared at Hong Chengchou's bright and dark face in the firelight, cautious and impatient.

Whether to terminate the peace talks and take these people to take the opportunity to kill them, or pretend that they don't know anything, this matter has nothing to do with them, and they swear not to admit it.

At the most critical time, the success or failure of this peace talk and the fate of these more than 100 people are between the old man's thoughts, whether to go or stay, and he must make a choice immediately.

The stakes were so high that Hong Chengchou didn't dare to make a rash decision, he walked around the tent with his hands behind his back.

Hong Chengchou's brain was like a rapidly spinning wheel, and his gloomy face was even more gloomy in the dim light, and his thin, slightly hunched figure was reflected in the tent.

Suddenly he stopped, turned around, and his innocent face became clear in the faint light.

"What are the rest of the Ming army doing except for chasing the assassins?"

"Answering people's words, they were a little confused at first, but they quickly stabilized, and a mercenary said that in addition to chasing down the assassins, they were all mobilizing troops, and the entire Ming camp was in action."

Hong Chengchou nodded, and then immediately made a decision, ordering his subordinates to immediately stop the lights, go back to their respective camps, go to bed, and no one is allowed to move around.

One of his lieutenants was puzzled and said, "My lord, if Sumal falls into their hands, the matter will inevitably be revealed, and we will not be able to leave at that time."

Hong Chengchou shook his head and sighed: "I can't leave now, they have already begun to deploy troops." If we can't get on the ship, I'm afraid we'll have to fall into their hands, and even if we do, we'll be sunk by their red-clad cannons. ”

"My lord, so we don't have a chance."

Hong Chengchou nodded, he had long thought that there would be such consequences if the action failed.

"My lord, we can't sit still, so let's do it, let's kill the adults with their humble duties, more than 100 brothers have already put life and death on the line, and now is the time for me to serve the emperor."

The more than 100 people brought by Hong Chengchou are actually all his guards, except for Hong Chengchou, a Han Chinese, these more than 100 people are all Tartars, and they are the elites selected from the elite of the Eight Banners.

Hong Chengchou looked helplessly at the egg-white-like sky outside, "We have too few manpower, it is not wise to fight hard, at the moment we can only pretend to be confused with them to delay time, waiting for the opportunity, and we can't be the enemy, unless the regent prince's army is overwhelming." ”

"Your Excellency is wise, and you are lowly and commanded." The lieutenant agreed, gave a salute, and turned around and withdrew.

Then Hong Chengchou, the more than 100 people, had sent troops several times, but now they all dare not act, they turned off the lights, and they all lay on their beds, pretending to continue to sleep, as if they didn't know anything.

But before they could lie down, and the bed was not warm, their big tents were surrounded by thousands of horses.

Countless torches shone like day, and people shouted and neighed, and they were in a mess, as if they were boiling pots.

Then these Qing troops, pretending to be alarmed, immediately gathered and armed and began to confront the Ming army to protect their camp and the safety of adults.

Although the soldiers of the Ming army had an absolute advantage, they did not force themselves in, but only surrounded the camp.

In fact, their so-called camp area, there are only a few tents, it is the camp of the Ming Dynasty, there are only a few antlers at the camp gate, a few tents are surrounded by a wooden fence made of guardrails, there is no trench around the tent, and there are no firearms, more than 100 soldiers brought by Hong Chengchou are only symbolically to protect their safety, and the soldiers of the Ming army are not allowed to enter.

Because they came to negotiate on behalf of the Qing Dynasty, not to fight, they were guests of the Ming Dynasty. These tents were arranged for him by the Ming army, like temporary guest houses.

According to international practice, the Ming Dynasty has the duty to protect the safety of these Qing troops and Hong Chengchou, because the two countries do not fight each other, this is the rule.

This happened tonight, so far the Ming army is still obedient, because they have strict military discipline, and no one dares to break in without an order, but they just surround this camp in an iron bucket, and it is impervious to wind and rain.

At this time, Hong Chengchou came to the gate of the camp with people and asked to see Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou's deputy general is here, this is a team officer of the Manchu Qing Tartars, these more than 100 Tartars are under his command, although he is in charge of more than 100 people, but at this time, his position in the Qing army is not low, it is Jia Lae Zhen.

Before the reform of the military system of the Qing Dynasty, it was like this, 300 people were 1 cow record, and the cattle record was really 1 person; 5 Ox Lu is 1 Jiala, and 1 Jiala is really 1 person; 5 Jiala is 1 solid mountain, set up 1 solid mountain Ezhen, 1 solid mountain is a flag.

It can be seen that the position of this deputy general is not low, and the more than 100 people he brought are of course elites.

This is not difficult to imagine, because what they accompanied and protected this time was not an ordinary official, but the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty, Taibao, the secretary of the military department and the right deputy of the capital Yu Shi Hong Chengchou, of course, could not be an ordinary general.

However, this Jia La's forehead, before the two sides tore their faces, when they saw Song Xiance, they didn't dare to lack courtesy, and they were respectful.

Because this negotiation has been in the barracks for a few more days, both sides are old acquaintances.

Song Xiance also saluted: "Where is Lord Hong?"

"I have already sent someone to communicate in the next place, I don't know why Mr. Song is so late, seeing our Lord Hong, why is he still so excited?" This Manchu Tartar asked knowingly.

Song Xiance smiled coldly, and said in his heart, dead tartar, you will pretend to be an elephant, I really don't know or not, you will know in a while. However, Song Xiance didn't want to talk nonsense with this guy, what he wanted to see was Hong Chengchou.

At this time, Hong Chengchou came over in a hurry, pretending to have just woken up, yawning as he walked, tidying up his clothes, and putting the flower feather on his head right, with Qing soldiers carrying lanterns in front of him, followed by several personal guards.

Seeing that their camp was surrounded by countless Ming army soldiers, and the Qing army soldiers under him were also in full battle, and the two sides confronted each other, he pretended to be surprised, walked a few steps, and came to Song Xiance approach, clasping his fists and arching his hands: "Mr. visited late at night, Hong missed the welcome, forgive the sin in person, I don't know what Mr. Song has to say about the crowd so much, is something wrong?"

Hong Chengchou pretended to be confused, pretended to be pretending, and asked knowingly.

This big man will be more good at pretending, but today we will see how long you can pretend!

Song Xiance looked at the little black face and smiled coldly: "Lord Hong, there were assassins in the camp, and our Lord Jianguo was almost assassinated."

When Song Xiance said this, his two eyes were staring at the lean and clear face in the red dust.

"There is such a thing, has the Lord of the Prison been harmed, and this assassin is too bold to catch and use this thief?" Hong Chengchou pretended to be surprised, his yellow eyes rolled, he looked very concerned, and asked several questions in a row.

"Haha, thanks to our prison master's martial arts, otherwise he would have really been plotted by this thief, but he couldn't escape. But is Lord Hong really not aware of this or is it false that he doesn't know about it? Song Xiance didn't hide it anymore, and went straight in.

Hong Chengchou's face was shocked, could it be that they knew any clues, or they were lying, no matter what, this matter must not be admitted.

"Mr. Song, what do you mean by this, why do you say this?"

Hong Chengchou looked innocent, pretending to be frightened and incredible.

"Lord Hong doesn't cry when he sees the coffin, okay then!" Song Xiance said, taking out the Mongolian scimitar, "Lord Hong has ever recognized this knife, this is the thing left by the murderer at the scene." As he spoke, he handed the knife over.

Hong Chengchou took the knife, touched it here and there, and was turning it upside down, in fact, he could see at a glance that this was a Mongolian scimitar, and from the decorations on it, it could be seen that it was used by a woman, and there was Mongolian on it.

The sweat on Hong Chengchou's face fell, and he secretly complained about Su Mo'er in his heart, how did he do it? How could this thing get into their hands? This is really hard evidence...... But no matter what, I can't admit to death.

Hong Chengchou's eyes were rolling, and then he returned the knife to Song Xiance, flicked his sleeve and said sharply: "Mr. Song, don't be joking, don't your Excellency suspect that Hong Mou secretly sent someone to assassinate him, if that is the case, is it still necessary for our Daqing Dynasty to come to peace talks?"

"It's not just suspicion, this is ironclad evidence, do you still want to admit it? Your peace talks in the Qing Dynasty are actually a pretense, Your Excellency came to sell dog meat with a sheep's head, and the performance is really good, but it's time to end! ”

In Song Xiance's words, Hong Chengchou quibbled: "Lord Song, don't spew blood, just with this Mongolian knife, what can you say, is there no Mongolian soldier in your country's camp, why doesn't Mr. Song question them?"

"Lord Hong may not admit it, but there is a time when you will be asked to admit it, and that is to wait until our Lord Prison has captured the assassin and see what else you have to say. Take them all! ”

Song Xiance sneered and suddenly changed his face, and his subordinate generals agreed, He Renlong and Hao Shaoqi had long been impatient, talking in their hearts, talking nonsense to them, arresting them all, and now that Song Xiance finally gave the order, they took people to break in.

"Protect your lordship!" The Tartar Lama really did not show weakness, and as soon as he gave an order, more than 100 Qing troops were tense, and they planned to fight to the death with the Ming army.

"The Lord of the Prison has an order, all of them are arrested, and if there is resistance, they will be killed!"

As soon as Song Xiance said this, He Renlong and Hao Shaoqi were waiting for this sentence.

The soldiers of the invincible battalion came to take people, and these Qing troops also planned to resist stubbornly, they thought that they were the elite of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Tartars, invincible, but they didn't know that these were already in the past.

As soon as the soldiers of the Ming army saw that they had to move seriously, several muskets were aimed at these bold Qing troops.

The current invincible battalion is also equipped with a new type of firearm such as a self-acoustic flintlock pistol, and their combat effectiveness is already super strong, and with this kind of world's most advanced equipment, the combat effectiveness of the invincible battalion is like a tiger.

Now they are going to use these Qing troops as targets, and they are also trying to kill chickens and monkeys, so some Ming soldiers pulled the trigger with their guns raised.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Just like setting off firecrackers, a random gun, puffs of white smoke rose and dissipated, and twenty or thirty of these Manchu Tartars fell in a pool of blood, and a few were beaten into a sieve and fell to the ground, their faces full of incredulity, but soon their eyes lost the luster of life, and the bullet holes on their bodies gushed blood.

At this time, they realized that no matter how fierce and invincible they were, no matter how capable they were in battle, they could only be targets in front of these Ming troops, and there was nothing else they could do.

The rest of the Qing army retreated, and they were really scared.

Because no matter how fierce and fierce the Tartars are, when death really comes, they have to be afraid, because they clearly know that life is only once for each of them, and if they are lost, they will never come again, and more importantly, they are making senseless sacrifices.

The obvious thing, not to mention the more than 100 of them, even thousands of Tartars came over, and they couldn't rush out today, and they resisted stubbornly, and there was only a dead end.

Therefore, in the face of this bloody massacre, the individuals were shocked, and they did not dare to put their bows and arrows apart, but only slowly collected their bows and arrows, and their swords and guns were raised high, and they had to slowly put them down again.

Practice has proved that these Manchu Tartars are still wise, in the face of so many Ming troops, they just don't let go of muskets, and as soon as they go, they can be flattened and their bones gone.

He Renlong and Hao Shaoqi saw that the Manchu Tartars were honest now, and with a wave of their hands, the soldiers of the invincible battalion of the Ming army rushed to the top, first surrendered their weapons, and then tied them up one by one, including Hong Chengchou and Hong Chengchou's deputy general, that is, the Jia Lae Zhen.

Hong Chengchou felt that this was over, and his heart was already half cold, but he didn't show weakness in his mouth, and shouted loudly: "The two countries are fighting each other, don't kill the envoys, it's too immoral for you to do this, where is Lord Jianguo, Hong wants to see Lord Lin......"

"The two countries are not beheading each other, but you sell dog meat with a sheep's head, and you are secretly Chen Cang, and you even sent assassins to assassinate our Lord Jianguo, and you are innocent!"

"We are wronged, Hong wants to see your Lord Jianguo, where is Lord Lin?"

Song Xiance said: "Our adults will meet you, but not now, it's best not to get involved in the next few days, otherwise you will know the consequences," and then turned to his subordinates and said, "Take them all away, take care of them!"

In this way, Hong Chengchou's more than 100 Qing troops, except for more than 20 people who were shot and killed on the spot, the rest were all controlled by the Ming soldiers, and of course their ships were also under control.

Then it was dawn.
