Dorgon's strategy was indeed more operational than Dorgon's, and the princes and ministers in the main hall were deeply in favor of it. Even Dai Shan, who has always opposed the sending of troops, feels that maybe he can give it a try, and the risk of 20,000 people is still worth taking.

There are three key points in this strategy, the first is how to operate the 20,000 army to the vicinity of the starting point city unconsciously, which requires the cooperation of the Ming Dynasty.

The second key point is, how did the 800 dead infiltrate the starting point city?

Dead soldiers are not difficult to find, and there is no shortage of warriors in the Qing Dynasty. The starting point is not a closed city, and there are many people who go out of the city and enter the city every day. However, it is a bit difficult for the warriors of the Qing Dynasty to blend in, because the Manchus shaved their hair.

It is promising to bring a small amount of gunpowder and oil into it, but if you can't bring the blade in, you will have to confiscate the blade at the gate of the starting city.

The third key point is to grab weapons and ammunition, and when this step is completed, the operation can be considered a success.

Will the Qing army use a rifle when it grabs it? The answer is yes, because they ever had a rifle! There is only one rifle, so there are not many people who know how to use it, and most people can only listen to others describe how to use it after getting it.

The most difficult thing is the first two steps, if you let the eight hundred outlaws infiltrate the starting point city, the whole plan will almost be completed.

The Manchu court attached the highest importance to this operation, and they found that if the operation was successful, the wealth of the starting point city and the weapons of the Tiance army would be almost at their fingertips.

Therefore, every detail and every step must be scrutinized repeatedly, and many places also need the cooperation of the Ming Kingdom, so the correspondence with the Ming Kingdom is close.

Although the Manchus have not yet determined when to send troops, there are various signs that Huang Taiji has already intended to send troops. Chongzhen hesitated a little, after all, the stakes were very high, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty jointly attacked the starting point city and the Tiance army, once the matter was defeated, the impact would be too bad.

Seeing Chongzhen walking back and forth, there was a look of hesitation, Wen Tiren said: "Your Majesty, although Wang Yue has made great contributions, the Tiance Army is not controlled by the imperial court, and the starting point is close to Gyeonggi, so it is a hidden danger after all." This time, Dongyu decided to send troops, which is not an opportunity to solve the starting point city. ”

This was a separate meeting between Wen Tiren and Chongzhen, Cao Huachun was pushed aside, and Chongzhen didn't mention this matter to anyone, including the queen.

Wen Tiren is also fighting now, because his situation is very bad. The old rival Zhou Yanru has returned, and he himself has a grudge against Wang Yue, and the position of this Shoufu has been shaken. If the problem of the starting point city can be solved, a threat will be removed for him, and the problem of the starting point city will be solved, then his status in Chongzhen's mind will be infinitely raised, so he is very active in this matter.

Chongzhen stopped and seemed to have made up his mind: "I will order the military department to let the towns around Anqing that have made meritorious contributions to suppress bandits lead troops into Beijing to confer medals, and the soldiers and horses of these towns will be temporarily restrained by Lu Xiangsheng, who stayed in Beijing. ”

"The emperor is wise!" Wen Tiren shouted.

Some words can't be said explicitly, but Wen Tiren has already understood. Attracting Qing troops to attack the starting city belongs to luring wolves into the house, and the nearly 60,000 Ming troops in Anqing to suppress bandits are the back hands of the imperial court. The reason is also very good, let them go to Beijing to confer honors. There was such a thing as letting generals lead troops into Beijing in the history of the Ming Dynasty, but it was the first time that so many generals led troops into Beijing to be awarded.

Originally, Chongzhen intended that Hong Chengchou or Sun Chuanting would lead troops into Beijing, but unfortunately the reason was not sufficient, and now was the critical moment to suppress bandits, so the soldiers and horses in Anqing were mobilized.

Chongzhen was very cautious, and until the last moment, even Lu Xiangsheng didn't know the true purpose of these soldiers and horses. Because Chongzhen knew that if Lu Xiangsheng knew that he was in alliance with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he would not be able to pick on him.

Anyway, God knows about this, and the rest is that he and Wen Tiren know that once the matter fails, he can push two, five or six.

Wang Yue did not know that his old rival Manchu Qing had made a new move against him, and at this time he had already led the naval fleet to reach the Xiaguan dock in Nanjing.

As the governor of Yingtian, he always had to meet with the six departments of Nanjing, the eunuchs of Nanjing, and the nobles of Nanjing. Moreover, Nanjing, as the political, economic and cultural center of the Jiangnan region, is also an important city for him to lay out the Jiangnan economy in the future, so he must come.

Wang Yue wanted to come to Nanjing, and according to the usual procedure of the imperial court, he had already notified the Nanjing side in advance through Wu Zhi and Liu Bin. If you always engage in surprise attacks, it is an impolite behavior in Daming. However, Shanghai County is a subordinate under Wang Yue's rule, so it can not be counted.

On the morning of July 21, Wang Yue arrived at Xiaguan, and the Xiaguan wharf was very lively at this time. Most of the six departments of Nanjing, the eunuchs guarding the town of Nanjing, and most of the nobles in Nanjing came.

Is Wang Yue so popular? Indeed it is.

The officials of the Sixth Department of Nanjing are all unlucky people who sit on the cold bench, and as long as they are high-ranking officials from Beijing, they will be warmly received, the purpose is to brush up their sense of existence, hoping to return to the center of power one day. And Wang Yue now has the ability to influence the court situation, and they have also heard some news.

Han Zanzhou, the eunuch guarding Nanjing Town, knew that this Wang Yue was very close to the eunuchs in the capital, and Wang Yue's power was not to be underestimated, even Cao Huachun had to look at his face, so he also came to set it up.

The people who welcomed Wang Yue the most were actually those nobles. Because of Wang Yue, several nobles in Beijing have made a fortune, large and small. In particular, Xu Hongji, the head of Nanjing's nobles, was more enthusiastic, and Xu Yunzhen, the prince of Dingguo, the same sect in Beijing, became more and more wealthy because of the king.

Not only did some people from the official face come to greet Wang Yue, but even some literary and artistic workers on the Qinhuai River also came, and they also wanted to see Wang Yue's demeanor.

The reason is because of "Ming Pao", to be precise, because of "Dream of Red Mansions" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", two books that are being serialized. Needless to say, Dream of Red Mansions is a reading material for entertainment and pastime, but once you read it, you can't extricate yourself. Now the main characters of the Condor Archery Guo Jing and Huang Rong, Yang Kang and Mu Nianci have appeared one after another, and their love stories attract these literary and artistic workers. And the pen name of the authors of these two books is "Sihua".

However, Wang Yue's appearance has always been very stylish, the naval fleet gradually appeared in the field of vision, the original noisy scene gradually quieted down, and the people on the dock of Shimonoseki looked at the slowly approaching steel giant ship in surprise.

Although the dock landing ship remained in Anqing, the fleet was accompanied by a passenger and cargo ro-ro ship from Shanghai, which was able to overcome the low wharf of the Shimonoseki wharf.

It wasn't until Wang Yue landed on the shore that the officials who came to greet him came to their senses and came forward to meet each other.
