Chapter Twenty-Seven: Diving to break through obstacles and enter Shengjing, the goal is to target Xiao Fulin
Since Meng Si'er found Genghis Khan's treasure in Shaanxi, he returned to Yaogang to participate in Jiang Pai's preparations for Liaodong, Meng Si'er had followed Huang Xin to Liaodong, and was familiar with the situation there, so he naturally helped Jiang Pai and them a lot. However, Meng Si'er himself was particularly attentive to Shengjing (Shenyang), and Meng Si'er communicated with the intelligence station of Shengjing (Shenyang) and Zhang Baoren many times, asking them to find a way in and out of Shengjing (Shenyang).
Of course, the intelligence officers of Shengjing (Shenyang) and Zhang Baoren knew that the passage that Meng Si'er asked to enter and exit Shengjing (Shenyang) would not be the gates of Shengjing (Shenyang), so they all worked hard.
The name of Shengjing City was given by Dorgon. It was called Shenzhou in the earliest Tang Dynasty, because it was located in the north of Shenshui (Hunhe), and later the Yuan Dynasty rebuilt Tucheng and changed Shenzhou to Shenyang. In the Ming Dynasty, it was renamed "Shenyang Road" as "Shenyang Zhongwei". Emperor Taizu of the Qing Dynasty moved the capital from Liaoyang to Shenyang and began to build an imperial palace in Shenyang. In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty changed the name of Shenyang to "Shengjing". The current Shengjing City Wall was also built by Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji ordered the construction of a new city on the basis of the original city wall, and thickened, heightened and strengthened the city wall; The four gates of the Ming Dynasty were changed to eight gates, and the Eight Banners Army each guarded one gate, and the city passage changed from the cross street of the Ming Dynasty to the Tic-tac-toe street. The original strongest north gate of the Ming Dynasty was the least destroyed in the war, and because it was close to Nurhachi's residence, it was preserved and became the "ninth gate". At this time, in addition to the imperial palace, there are also Khan Palace, eleven palaces, six yamen, temples and other buildings in Shengjing City. The walls have been rebuilt and reinforced. But everything is like this, there will be weaknesses in strong opponents, and the intelligence officers of Yaogang and Zhang Baoren, etc., after patient and meticulous work, still found a weak point in Shengjing City. In fact, there were several small rivers flowing in and out of Shengjing City, and many small rivers were cut off in order to repair the city wall. But in this way, there is nowhere to flow sewage and rainwater in Shengjing City. Therefore, when the city wall was rebuilt, this situation was taken into account, and several rivers in and out of the city were set aside. Of course, for safety, they made several small holes in stone where the river passed under the city walls, and the small holes were fenced from the inside and outside to prevent people from entering or leaving. The outside is made of pine wood, and the inside is made of two-finger thick iron bars. The entrance and exit of these holes are all below the surface of the water.
Over time, these small rivers become rivers of sewage. Not only are there all kinds of garbage floating in the river, but the feces also come out through these small rivers, and the water holes that enter and exit begin to be blocked, and someone needs to dredge them frequently from both sides with hooks with long poles. Of course, the Manchus will not do the dirty work of dredging these holes, and they all hire Han Chinese to do it.
After Zhang Baoren and the others learned about this situation, they began to study these rivers in and out of Shengjing. They found that in the direction of the Luoshi Quan'er Wharf, there was a sewage river that happened to enter Wanliutang, and they immediately found a father and son surnamed Ma who were responsible for dredging it here. This father and son surnamed Ma are father and son who depend on each other, usually digging dung for people for a living, and the steward of Shengjing City will also hand over the work to the sewage outlet of Wanliutang to them, and the requirements for them are that no matter what time they must ensure that the water here is smooth, and when they do it, they will do it themselves. For the Ma family's father and son, this is a good job for nothing, nothing is delayed, and when there is time, they will go over and use a hook to get through the city, and then use a hook to get through it outside the city, as long as the water and garbage can flow down. People in these places are far away, and the father and son didn't expect anyone to be interested here.
When Zhang Renbao found them and told them that he would use this place to cooperate with the Yaogang people to come to Shengjing City to fight the Jurchens, the father and son agreed. Especially Zhang Renbao took out a gold bar, and the father and son of the Ma family were even more willing. The father of the Ma family said to Zhang Renbao: "Zhang Yingying! If you don't give me this gold bar, I'm willing to do it even if I risk my life. Fuck, these Jurchens don't treat us Han people as human beings at all in our realm, and I'm just trying my best to get this thing right. However, I never thought in my life that I would have a gold bar in my house, when will I do this, you have to promise me to let my son go back to his hometown, let him take the gold bar back to buy some land, and pass incense for me. I'll leave my life to you. ”
Zhang Renbao listened to Lao Ma's words, and of course agreed, in fact, Zhang Renbao was more at ease. Zhang Renbao told the Ma family father and son to continue to do this job quietly, and if they needed their help, he would notify them in advance.
When Zhang Renbao and the others received the news that the Yaogang army was about to come, Zhang Renbao came up to inform the Ma family father and son, asking them to dredge the channel of the sewage river. The father and son of the Ma family agreed, and spent a lot of effort inside and out to dredge the passage under the city wall here, and even the silt below was cleaned up with hooks. It happened that Sheng Jingguan checked this matter here, and was very satisfied with their dedication to their work, and said to the people around him: "Tell others to do their work well like their old horse father and son." Otherwise, they won't be needed in the future. "He knew that the Ma family father and son were cleaning the passage for the kiln people.
Meng Si'er's detachment into the city was quite numerous, including 120 members of Li Jing's special forces squadron and more than 20 members of Meng Si'er's own action team, all of whom were not ordinarily well-equipped. Before entering the city, Meng Si'er came to see Wei Xiang, "Old Wei, before we enter the city, you don't want to encircle Shengjing City, but you have to shoot mortars in front of several other city gates to cover our entry into the city." ”
"Don't worry! We will do whatever you say. Wei Xiang still admires Meng Si'er's magical powers, there are many things in the kiln gang that others don't know, and Meng Si'er is a participant. With Meng Si'er sneaking into Shengjing City in person, more than half of the things in the city will be sure that they will be beautiful.
When it was dark, a long line of strict carriages sent Meng Si'er and his party out of the camp at the Luo Shi Quan'er Wharf, and they came to the side of Wanliutang, and under the cover of night, they came to the city wall, and followed the city wall to the outlet of the sewage river that flowed into Wanliutang. Although the sewage here exudes a foul smell, but the shrubs and weeds grow extraordinarily luxuriantly, everyone is ambushed in the grass, Meng Si'er used the radio to contact Zhang Baoren in the city, Zhang Baoren did not dare to speak loudly at the entrance of the sewage hole in the sewage river in the city, and could only blow a few breaths according to the agreed microphone. Meng Si'er knew that the person they were answering was already in place, and waved his hand to signal the divers to enter the water. Two divers who changed into diving suits, quietly went down to the water of Wanliutang, slowly waded through the water to the exit of the sewage hole, and when they reached the outlet, they dived into the water, according to the agreement, the two divers touched the wooden fence under the water with their hands, counted to the middle one, one person helped, and the other person, took out the prepared hacksaw, and began to saw the wooden fence underwater. Underwater sawing wood is really a very physically demanding job, and the first diver really has no strength to saw, so he changes to another diver and continues to saw. The two divers take turns sawing wood, and the more they rotate, the less time they can work. In such a place, time literally stopped, and after a long wait, the two divers finally bubbled out of the water. As soon as they emerged from the water, they didn't bother to speak, took out their respirators, and inhaled fresh air. When the two of them were out of breath, they waved to Meng Si'er. Meng Si'er immediately ordered the other two divers to go into the water. The two divers went down into the water, felt the fence that had been sawn off by the first two divers, and squeezed into the hole made of stone under the wall, and felt inside. When you touch the iron fence, you start sawing the iron fence. The hacksaw they were holding was not the same as the saw they had just sawed wood. This is a specially made hacksaw in the kiln, which is lightweight and easy to carry.
When the two divers began to saw the iron fence inside, Zhang Baoren, who was in the city, felt from the vibration of the water surface that someone was sawing the iron fence here. At this time, Zhang Baoren and the others were even more nervous, under the city wall, there were constantly patrolling Qing soldiers walking by, and they were also hidden in the weeds, they were not afraid of being exposed, but worried that the whole operation would fail. But the intelligence officer trained with Zhang Renbao's kiln gang was very calm, and it also played a role in stabilizing everyone's emotions. But Zhang Renbao and the others still sweated constantly, and they couldn't take care of any mosquito bites at all. It took more effort to cut the two-finger-thick iron fence underwater, and the time was longer, until it was almost time, and the two people under the water sawed off the iron fence, and the two of them pulled it with the rope that was pulled down, and Meng Si'er outside the city wall knew that the work was done, and he also pulled the rope to inform the two divers under the water that everything was normal and they could enter the city.
The two divers got the signal from Meng Si'er, so they squeezed out of the steel fence that had just been sawn, and one person quietly poked his head out, listened to the sound around, and took out a red flashlight and flashed it twice. At this time, Zhang Renbao and them were in front of him, in fact, as soon as the divers came out of the water, they saw it, but according to the agreement, the divers turned on the flashlight before they could come out, so Zhang Renbao and they endured it. In fact, Zhang Baoren and the others had never seen what divers were like, and it was the first time they saw divers from the water, and they were very excited.
The divers who came out of the water were also happy when they saw Zhang Baoren in front of them, and whispered: "Oops! You guys are so well disguised that I don't see it in front of my eyes. After that, he motioned with his foot to the divers below to come out as well.
Zhang Baoren said: "It's not good to be hidden, the Qing army will have a team of patrols." Hurry up and inform the outside, it's all right down there. ”
Meng Si'er and the others heard the sound of "poof" blowing on the radio again, and began to command everyone to go into the water and enter the city. They don't have that much diving equipment, but the distance under the water is only less than ten meters, and everyone has a mask with a tube attached to it, and they go into the water first, and breathe through the tube, but the distance is not very long down here, and there is a tube under the water, and it will pass in a while. I don't know how many times I've practiced this kind of training in Yaogang. Meng Si'er sent a telegram to Wei Xiang before going into the water.
Wei Xiang immediately asked the mortarists who had been arranged outside the gate of Shengjing City to fire at the city gate, and at the same time selected a few open places in the city to fire a few shots. Zhang Baoren and his men immediately set fires in several places in the city. It made many parts of the city very chaotic.
Meng Si'er and they wrapped their equipment and clothes in a rubber bag when they entered the city, and after they entered the city, they first lay down in the sewage river and walked against the current, a little away from the city wall to see the opportunity, and they all ran to a courtyard that Zhang Baoren and they bought in advance, and someone in the courtyard had already prepared hot water. After entering the courtyard and letting everyone wash off their sewage and change into their own clothes, Meng Si'er sent a telegram to Wei Xiang to report that everything was going well, and then led everyone to eat a famous dish from the Northeast, stewed vermicelli with pork and stewed mushrooms with chicken.
Due to the thorough preparation, the procession of more than 100 people who entered the city did not show a trace at all. This is the result of a long period of preparation.
Since the last time Meng Si'er came to Liaodong and met Zhang Baoren, Zhang Baoren and the others have officially done it with the Yaogang people. During this period, Huang Xin also returned to Shengjing several times, but Meng Sier never came again. Zhang Baoren and Meng Si'er are also very temperamental, after Meng Si'er changed his clothes, Zhang Baoren came over and took Meng Si'er's hand and said, "Brother! This farewell is a few years, and you haven't come to Shengjing again, you want to kill me! ”
"Oops! I can't help myself, I often think about me and you brothers in Liaodong! Meng Si'er also took Zhang Baoren's hand and said, "It's a pity that we have a heavy responsibility and can't drink quickly." ”
"It's okay!" Zhang Baoren also said boldly, "Shengjing will be ours soon." When this battle is over, let's have a good drink! ”
"Good! When the time comes, you will get drunk! Meng Si'er said, "I heard that you have hundreds of brothers now? ”
"Yes!" Zhang Baoren said, "I still don't dare to develop too many people, they all choose similar kung fu and have good character." However, not only did they do good work, but they also trained them to shoot muskets outside the city. Hands will also make. Send them the robbery to use it right away. ”
"Good! These brothers can use it, and this time I'm going to do something earth-shattering. Meng Si'er said.
"Great!" Zhang Baoren is also a master who doesn't make a big deal, "However, the things we prepare for our brothers are different from yours!" "Actually, Zhang Baoren was a little dazzled when they saw the weapons worn by the people brought in by Meng Si'er. In addition to each of them carrying an automatic rifle, pistol, and dagger, some of them wore sniper rifles with particularly long barrels, portable steel cannons, and light machine guns. These are all things that Zhang Baoren has never seen at all, and they think that the musket is amazing, and none of them use Meng Si'er.
Hearing Zhang Baoren say this, Meng Si'er smiled, "Hehe! Don't worry, brother, different weapons are used differently. Let's just say that the musket you use, after the shotgun, the melee combat is very powerful, no matter what martial arts you know, when you "touch" him, he can't dodge. Sometimes, a single shot can take down a large area. After speaking, Meng Si'er leaned closer to Zhang Baoren's ear and said, "This time our mission is to enter the palace." There are all martial arts masters, don't compare martial arts with them, just 'touch' when you meet. You're right? ”
"What?" When Zhang Baoren heard that he was going to enter the palace, he was shocked, and he couldn't believe it, and quickly lowered his voice and asked, "Is it true?" ”
"Huh!" Meng Si'er Yile asked rhetorically, "Do you use me to come in person for trivial matters?" ”
"That's right!" Zhang Baoren clapped his hands and said, "It's really fucking enjoyable." Brother, it's my blessing to meet you in this life! ”
"Rest well now, and we'll work with the outside of the city when we're ready." Meng Si'er said, "Our mission cannot be immediately notified to your brothers. Only a few of us know about this, and you say it's not a big deal. ”
"Yes, yes!" Zhang Baoren is also very proud of Meng Si'er's trust in him, Meng Si'er can tell himself such a big thing first, which means that he has a lot of weight in front of the kiln gang people.
After Meng Si'er and the others finished eating, Zhang Baoren moved the ammunition prepared in advance out of the cellar. There are quite a few hand ** and automatic rifle bullets. Seeing this, Meng Si'er felt more down-to-earth. With more than 100 people in their own courtyard, if there is enough ammunition, the Qing army will not be afraid when they find them. No number of people can get close to them.
At dawn, the person in charge of Yaogang's intelligence station in Shengjing came over. He took out a plan of the palace for Meng Si'er, and carefully introduced the situation in the palace to Meng Si'er.
Now there is a troublesome thing that the little emperor is eleven years old, and according to the regulations, he cannot live with Concubine Zhuang. Although this little emperor is not a big person, he is very domineering and lustful, and he has long sent people to look for beautiful women everywhere, and the eunuchs can't determine where he lives one day. However, his mother, Concubine Zhuang, has been living in Yongfu Palace next to Xiangfeng Tower.
This is a very important situation, Meng Si'er asked: "Can you ask the eunuch we bought, when we go in, will we know where Fu Lin lives if we find him?" Otherwise, more than 100 of us will enter such a large palace, and it will be troublesome to find people everywhere. ”
"Hmmm! I think it's okay. The head of the Shengjing Intelligence Station said, "But this matter is too big. I'll ask him again right away, and I'll get it right. ”
As soon as the head of the Shengjing Intelligence Station finished speaking, Meng Si'er stopped him and said, "You have to find a way to get some armor worn by the palace guards!" ”
"Good!" The head of the Shengjing Intelligence Station promised to leave. The reason why Meng Si'er asked him to get some armor from the palace guards was to prepare for the fact that he could not be sure of these circumstances, or if the situation changed after the action.
After Meng Si'er and the others entered Shengjing City, Wei Xiang played the information into the Yaogang Command Center, Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He touched it, and sent a report to Wei Xiang, agreeing that they would attack Shengjing immediately.
