(Thank you for the commuter pass of "hbq1990"!) )

Three days later, Tong Tuchang finished his preparations, said goodbye to his family, and came to five miles outside the city, where Tong Yangjia and Qian Lide, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, were waiting for him.

For this trip to Fujian, Qian Lide sent a large number of people, 400 people in advance, and this time he sent 100 people with Tong Tuchang. Qian Lide can't help it, if he fails to persuade Li Chengdong to surrender, then there is only one way to rescue Princess Yuyang by force. Therefore, Qian Lide sent his subordinates to be the first to fight Wang Xian.

Wang Xian is from Zhu Hongsan's teaching group, but he can be said to be the descendant of Zhu Hongsan's lineage. When he was in Wuchang County, he was lent to Qian Lide to clean up the underworld in Wuchang County with Zhu Hongyi, because Wang Xian was originally a dwarf mule in Kaifeng, Henan, and he did everything in Kaifeng (fried salt beans are pretending to be pigs and eating tigers to deceive outsiders, and firing hoards are immortals jumping to deceive Kaizi, these are the terms of the underworld in the Ming Dynasty), after following Qian Lide, he was really like a fish in water, and he made a lot of efforts to clean up the underworld in Nanchang County, and got along very well with Qian Lide.

After coming to Guangzhou, Qian Lide was ordered to reorganize the Jinyi Guard, and immediately asked Zhu Hongsan to come to Wang Xian, Wang Xian had already mixed with the company commander in the new army at that time, but he was very unsuitable for the rigid life in the new army, and Qian Lide immediately transferred to Jinyiwei as soon as he asked.

Wang Xian was very happy to Jinyiwei, after all, he used to be a short mule, but he didn't expect to be mixed with Jinyiwei now, which is like being a husband of the same year, but he didn't expect to become a prostitute when he became developed. The mood of this one being prostituted and another prostituting others is not the same.

This time, in order to rescue Zhu Yu, Qian Lide sent his most powerful subordinate Wang Xian and asked him to go to Fujian to take charge.

Jinyiwei set off this time with two groups of people, except for Wang Xian, and one group was sent to Jiangxi, because Zhu Hongsan had an order to let Jinyiwei send people to assist Jin Shenghuan anyway. Jiangxi's environment is much better than Fujian's, at least Jin Shenghuan has made it clear that he wants to do it anyway, so there are not many people sent to Jiangxi, only thirty people in total, and the leader is Zhao Mengguan, a thousand households of Jinyi Wei who emerged in the Battle of Luzon.

Lao Zhao, as a cannon, was the first to take refuge in Qian Lide, and now he is very important, plus he made meritorious service in Luzon, and was promoted to a thousand households by Qian Lide, and was transferred back to Jinyiwei Town to listen to the use. This time, the environment in Jiangxi is complicated, and Zhao Mengguan is a person who is "oil-soaked glass balls - slippery and does not leave his hands", so it is just right for him to go to Jiangxi.

Tong Tuchang came to the pavilion, where his uncle Tong Yangjia had been waiting for a long time.

Tong Tuchang first saw Qian Lide, and then said to his uncle Tong Yangjia: "Uncle, please rest assured, my nephew will definitely live up to my uncle's expectations!" ”

Tong Yangjia didn't say anything, just patted Tong Tuchang on the shoulder. On the side, Qian Lide said to Wang Xian: "Wang Qianhu, your first task this time is to protect the safety of Lord Tong, if you can't do anything, you must protect Lord Tong and withdraw to Guangdong safely!" ”

Wang Xianyi arched his hand and said, "Please rest assured, Lord Qian, the humble duty will definitely complete the task!" Qian Lide gave him two tasks, ostensibly to protect Tong Tuchang and ensure the success of the negotiations, but behind the scenes, it was indeed to rescue Princess Yuyang. After all, Tong Tuchang is only Tong Yangjia's nephew, even if he dies in Fujian, it is estimated that Tong Yangjia will not feel very distressed. But it was unsafe to get back Princess Yuyang, and the emperor started a fire to Qian Lide, but his life was not guaranteed.

Qian Lide listened to Wang Xian's pun, was very satisfied, and nodded again and again. There's nothing to hide from the other group.

"Lao Zhao, you have to make sure that you complete the task when you go to Jiangxi this time, and don't let the gelding dogs in Dongchang make meritorious contributions in front of us!"

"My lord, Dongchang also sent someone?" Zhao Mengguan heard Qian Lide say this, and hurriedly asked.

Qian Lide nodded and said: "Yes, Cao Fang, this old gelding, I was scolded by the emperor this time, and he Cao Fang began to be disrespectful to me, whether he can overpower Dongchang this time depends on you!" ”

Zhao Mengguan and Wang Xian arched their hands together and said, "Please rest assured, we will definitely complete the task!" ”

After saying goodbye, Tong Tuchang kowtowed to Tong Yangjia, got up and followed Jinyiwei.

Tong Yangjia watched his nephew walk away, and said to Qian Lide: "Lord Qian, you must ensure my nephew's safety, if he has any accidents, I will not let you go!" ”

Qian Lide dared to say that the order to Wang Xian was to rescue the princess, and when he heard Tong Yangjia say this, he hurriedly laughed and said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, I have already explained!" After Qian Lide finished speaking, he muttered in his heart, why does Old Man Tong care so much about Tong Tuchang, isn't he just a nephew? Tong Tuchang was born to Tong Yangjia and his sister-in-law, right?

Tong Yangjia naturally didn't know Qian Lide's dirty thoughts, looked at his nephew who was far away, and thought silently in his heart, Chang'er, come back safely!

Twenty miles away from Guangzhou City, the official road is separated here, leading to Zengcheng and Conghua to the north, and then entering Nanxiong Mansion, Zhao Mengguan is going to take this road. And Wang Xian and Tong Tuchang will go east, enter Huizhou Mansion, and then walk along the seaside to Haifeng and Chaozhou Mansion into Fujian.

At the fork in the road, Wang Xian and Zhao Mengguan arched their hands and said, "Brother Zhao, let's go our separate ways here, and the younger brother is here to wish you a victory!" ”

Zhao Mengguan laughed and said: "Brother Xian, my brother borrowed your auspicious words, and my brother also wishes you success, cherish!" ”

After speaking, Zhao Mengguan left the team with thirty people and rushed to Nanxiong Mansion.

Wang Xian took Tong Tuchang and a hundred of his men to the east and entered Huizhou Mansion. In fact, it is the fastest way to go to Fuzhou by sea, and it can be reached in five days, but now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty occupies Fujian, after Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, his son Zheng Chenggong did not surrender, but took the rest of Zheng Zhilong to entrench in Kinmen and Penghu.

The coastal areas of Fujian are now in a mess, and the Zhengjia naval divisions, the Manchu naval divisions, the navy of Guangdong, the Dutch in Taiwan, and the pirates along the coast are really unsafe to take the sea route, and they cannot ask for naval escort for the sake of secrecy, so they have to ride horses and take the land route.

But fortunately, there was nothing to do in Guangdong, Wang Xian and his entourage were wearing brocade clothes and flying fish suits, which were synonymous with Lord Yama in the Ming Dynasty, and the inspection divisions everywhere did not dare to stop them along the way.

Wang Xian and his entourage ate and slept in the open air, and finally came to Chaozhou Mansion after walking for eleven days. Now the Chaozhou Mansion has completely become a large barracks, and 18,000 people of Qian Yong's first division are stationed here. In the first half of the year, Li Chengdong set out from here to attack Guangzhou, although the emperor did not punish Qian Yong, but Lao Qian was very unhappy in his heart, after all, he was derelict in his duties. Therefore, Qian Yong completely operated Chaozhou Mansion as a fortress. In addition, in order to prevent a sudden sneak attack by the Manchus, in addition to the 18,000-strong new army, there are about 30,000 Ming Dynasty guards here.

Coming to the outside of Chaozhou Mansion, Wang Xian said to Tong Tuchang: "Lord Tong, we are going to change our clothes when we get here, and we will enter Fujian before we go." We can't ride horses, we can only dress up as merchants! ”

"Everything is arranged by Lord Wang!"

Wang Xian nodded, and led people into the city to Chaozhou Qianhusu, where the things needed had already been prepared! There were more than 20 mules and horses, all loaded with salt and sugar. There are also salt farms in Fujian, but the cost is much higher than that of salt produced in Guangdong, and it is 70% cheaper than that of Fujian real estate. White sugar is a precious thing, and the Manchurian lords stationed in Fuzhou and the Eight Banners like this sweet thing very much. The Manchurian lord needed to enjoy, and Guangdong needed silver, so although Guangdong and the Manchus were at war, the trade routes between the two provinces were never broken, and dozens of caravans passed through the two provinces every day.

Wang Xian checked the things, there were no flaws, in order to reduce trouble, he didn't bring any firearms, only cold weapons.

After resting here in Chaozhou Mansion for three days, all the staff shaved their heads, all of them were Manchu money rattail pigtails, and then Wang Xian took people on the road and rushed to Huanggang on the border of Fujian and Guangdong.

Huanggang is the front line of the new army in Guangdong, where there is a battalion to guard, and further ahead is the area controlled by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The platoon commander guarding the pass saw that Wang Xian and his entourage were from Guangzhou, and after checking the pass, he said kindly: "Several, fifty miles ahead is the Tartar sentry pass, you should be careful!" ”

Thanks to the platoon commander's kind reminder, Wang Xian led his group into the Manchu-controlled area.

After walking forty or fifty miles, I came across the Tartar sentry that the platoon commander said.

Tong Tuchang looked at the sentry gate opposite, there were more than 100 people stationed, wearing various clothes, some were wearing the mandarin duck robes of the Ming army, with bamboo hats, and a few bald heads without hats, revealing the scalp of freshly shaved blue and white flowers. There were a few people inside who were not wearing the uniform color of the Ming army, but were wearing a blue number barrier, and a white cloth in front of them had a soldier written on it.

Wang Xian didn't recognize what these people were wearing, but Tong Tuchang did. His Tong family was a big clan in Tieling, Liaodong, so he naturally recognized that these people were wearing the uniforms of the Manchu Han military flag.

Those Qing troops were originally in a mess, but when they saw a caravan coming from the opposite side, they stood up one after another, shouting, "The fat sheep is here!" ”

Wang Xian led people to the front and said to a small leader of the Qing army: "Everyone, we are a caravan from Guangdong, and we are bothered to let you go!" ”

The little leader looked at the horse team and said, "How many of you are there?" How many horses? ”

Wang Xian said: "One hundred people, twenty-five mules and horses, salt and snow sugar all pulled on it, please check it by the military master!" ”

After Wang Xian finished speaking, he hurriedly opened the sack and let the Qing army check it, and at the same time took out ten taels of silver from his sleeve, stuffed it into the little leader's hand, and said, "This means to drink tea for all military masters!" ”

The little leader shook the silver and said with a smile: "Look at your eyes, go over!" ”

Wang Xian was just about to order his subordinates to load the goods and pass through the customs, when an officer with a Han military flag came out of it, and when he saw that the little boss was released without searching, he stepped forward and gave the little boss a mouthful, and scolded: "You bastard, what are you doing, did you accept bribes again?" Watch your head! ”
