04 Make a big fuss
In this era, the only person who can have the title of battalion commander is the Hongtang army established by Li Tianyang from later generations on Nanyang Dayuan Island.
Therefore, it goes without saying that this group of sneaky guys under the Jingshi City that they love is the soldiers sent by the Hongtang Military Department, and they are also the most elite special operations battalion soldiers in the military department.
As for the purpose of their infiltration into the capital this time, it was to observe the movement of a target, and if necessary, they would carry out an assassination.
Hou Yu, the commander of the special operations battalion who led the team, is a son of the new generation of Hongmen, with first-class Chinese kung fu skills, and there is also no lack of excellent brains.
"However, the battalion commander, his subordinates also heard a piece of news, saying that Hong Chengchou, the governor of Liao, was arrested by Jinyi Wei and imprisoned in the prison."
Suddenly, another clueless sentence came out of his subordinates.
"So what?"
Hou Yu frowned.
"The informant who was bribed by his subordinates said that Hong Chengchou, who was imprisoned in the Jingshi Heavenly Prison this time, was given by Chongzhen Huanghei as a tribute to the martyrdom of the Jingshi, and Emperor Chongzhen issued an order that if this Jingshi was broken, it would be when Hong Chengchou was killed."
"Hmph, don't care about this Hong Chengchou, our priority is to keep an eye on this Wu Sangui, and if we find any signs of rebellion against him, assassinate him on the spot!"
"Other than that, let's try not to make any extraneous branches!"
Hou Yu once again reiterated the task of himself and the others, and the soldiers of the special operations battalion who infiltrated into the Beijing Division with him were actually not many in number, and even he was only half a platoon of thirty-six people in total, and he really didn't have the extra manpower to figure out other rights and wrongs.
The Hongmen Outer Guard Intelligence System continuously transmitted the northern intelligence to Dayuan Island, but it was a pity that Li Tianyang was a little too superstitious about his historical memory from later generations, so he really had some insufficient understanding of the predicament that the Beijing Division might suffer, and it was not until the Zunhua defense line was broken by the Qing people that he suddenly realized that the history of this era had already become unrecognizable because of his existence.
Therefore, when Hongmen rearranged its manpower to go north quickly, looking for opportunities and laying out the future, it was a bit of a hurry.
Because of his concern for the character of Wu Sangui in the original history, Li Tianyang sent Hou Yu and his cadres into Beijing to closely monitor him and prevent him from continuing to follow his former path.
Thanks to the blessing of Lu Ding Ji, a book written by Mr. Jin, Li Tianyang knows how much the ability of this Ming general soldier is today, and Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, who almost won the Qing Dynasty, if it is used by the Qing Dynasty again, it will be a threat to the future of Hongmenti anyway.
But now the trend of history has become a mess, and even Li Tianyang himself can't guarantee whether Wu Sangui, the notorious traitor back then, will continue to follow his old path, after all, this Shanhaiguan has been broken by the Qing people, and Wu Sangui, who originally opened the city to offer the pass, was forced to retreat after failing to defend the imperial city.
Judging from the current situation, Wu Sangui really did not have the slightest sign of rebellion, but this did not prevent Li Tianyang from sending a Bot battalion soldier to plan in advance and find the opportunity to assassinate him.
Anyway, Wu Sangui's death will be of great interest to Hongmen and others in the long run, at least in the case that Wu Sangui does not see the slightest talent that will become a talent for his own use, assassinating this famous general of the Ming and Qing dynasties, Hongmen is likely to have a lot less trouble in the future.
As for Hong Chengchou's ability, for Hou Yu, who was born as a warrior, and other members of the Hongtang Dynasty, judging from the information learned from the people, foreign guards and other channels, he is also an extremely rare talent.
Unlike Emperor Chongzhen's stubbornness and self-use, Hongtang soldiers, especially elites like the special operations battalion, are familiar with the grasp of the battle situation, what is the strength of the Jurchens, what is the strength of the Ming army, they have long had a deep insight, with a lack of supplies, for the Beijing division for about half a year, it can be seen that Hong Chengchou and his ability are extraordinary.
It's just that this person is now imprisoned in the prison, and he has nothing to do with his own mission, Hou Yu doesn't want the assassination of himself and others to go wrong because of these details, and then destroy the overall situation.
Although Hou Yu couldn't understand why the chief would let himself and others infiltrate the Jingshi and assassinate Wu Sangui at the last moment, as a soldier, he didn't want his mission to fall short.
The Qing Dynasty has long been eyeing the Ming Dynasty, which is already an open secret, and now in the case of Huang Taiji just passing away, the little emperor of Shunzhi does not know the world, Dolgon, the young and ambitious auxiliary prince, came to power, in order to stabilize their love for the new Jueluo family's dominance, distract the attention of other nobles in the kingdom, this time Dolgon is desperate to gain a foothold on the land of the Ming Dynasty, to complete his brother's long-cherished wish for many years.
The Ming Dynasty's capital is in front of him, and the breakthrough of this city means that countless gold, silver, treasures, pearls and silk will become his own capture, not only Prince Dolgon, who presided over the army, is excited, but even the many Eight Banners Lord nobles who have suffered heavy losses along the way and have many complaints are also excited.
There is no need for Prince Dolgon to do any more mobilization, from the first day of the attack on the city of Jingshi, this group of soldiers of the Qing Dynasty is like taking aphrodisiacs, everyone has inexhaustible energy, full of fighting spirit and fearless to the death launched a ferocious attack on the ancient capital of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, so that Xu Zhi and other officials and generals guarding the city all felt pressure.
On the other side, the soldiers of the special operations battalion led by Hou Yu were also secretly observing the movements above the city, ready to carry out their tasks at any time.
The assassination task is actually very simple, in terms of the guards and generals around Wu Sangui at this moment, Hou Yu and they really want to carry out the assassination now, although they dare not say that it is 100% successful, but there is still six or seven percent certainty.
It's just that if it's really just a simple assassination, then why bother looking for the soldiers of their special operations battalion!
The biggest problem with the assassination is that if there is no sign of rebellion in Wu Sangui all the way, then Hou Yu and they will not be able to act for the time being, at least until the Qing people break through the Jingshi, Hou Yu and they will not be able to act, which makes Hou Yu They must hide in the city surrounded by Qing soldiers, while staring at Wu Sangui's movements, they have to find a safe way out for themselves, and be ready to assassinate at any time.
