Chapter Forty-Nine: Infiltrating Wuchang
The next day, Zheng Jue went to ask Li Guo why he knew that they would be there, but Li Guo told Zheng Jue a piece of news
More than ten days ago, the Qing army had already begun to mobilize, and just went out of the city to ambush Zheng Jue yesterday morning, Zheng Jue was still drinking tea with He Tengjiao in the mountains, and Wuchang had already learned the news that Zheng Jue was going to be robbed and killed
And the Yangtze River is turbulent, they can just calculate that Zheng Jue and others will arrive at that position today, and they also clearly know the number of Zheng Jue's troops, no more and no less than 10,000 Han Eight Banners, if Li Guo hadn't arrived in time, Zheng Jue was afraid that he would have died in the Yangtze River today
Zheng Jue didn't know if the Qing army knew their true purpose, only he and Zhu Youlang knew about rescuing Li Yue and Li Lin's sisters, and Zheng Jue only told Hao Shaoqi about their going to Wuchang
Hao Shaoqi should not have sent a message to the Qing army, after all, in history, Hao Shaoqi would rather die than surrender, and the Qing army should not know its destination and goal now
Zheng Jue told Zhu Youlang the news he got from Li Guo, and Zhu Youlang was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he was already at a loss to ask Zheng Jue what to do
Zheng Jue had no choice but to decide to take a break here now and inquire about intelligence in Wuchang City
In addition, Zheng Jue is not without good news, Zheng Jue learned that when the Dashun army withdrew from Wuchang that day, he left a part of the "special personnel" in Wuchang City, so he could get those information
Li Guo rescued Zheng Jue because he hoped that Zheng Jue would help introduce him, Li Guo's subordinates also wanted to recruit An, Zheng Jue agreed to Li Guo, in fact, he went directly to He Tengjiao He Tengjiao would not refuse Li Guo, but Li Guo was afraid of being troubled
Zheng Jue wrote a letter to Li Guo and pressed a private seal brought out by Zheng Jue, which was regarded as a reassurance to Li Guo, Li Guo said that if Zheng Jue entered Wuchang City, he could go to Henglai Tea House to connect
A few days later, Zheng Jue and Zhu Youlang disguised themselves as Taoist priests and infiltrated Wuchang, in fact, the shaving order had already been issued, but there was serious resistance from all over the country, and Wuchang's shaving action was also dragged down, but for the sake of insurance, they made up as Taoist priests through the "policy" of monks who did not follow the Tao, and infiltrated Wuchang City
Zheng Jue put on a Taoist robe, but it really has some fairy wind and bones, Zhu Youlang looks nondescript when he wears a Taoist robe, Zhu Youlang is born with a kind of luxury, and he does not have the chic temperament of Zheng Jue when he wears a Taoist robe
Zheng Jue only brought a few people and brought more than 30 people into the city, Zheng Jue and Zhu Youlang dressed as Taoist priests, and the soldiers poured into the city as refugees
When Zuo Liangyu slaughtered the city, a large number of people fled from the city, and now they have settled down a little and returned to the city
Zheng Jue took Zhu Youlang, and the two road idiots walked around the city for a long time, and finally found the legendary Henglai Tea House, which is just a big teahouse
Zheng Jue and the two walked into the tea house, and Xiao Er hurriedly came over to greet them
"Xiao Er, is there any oily noodles in northern Shaanxi?"
"Returning officer, no"
"Is there any Suncheon jajangmyeon?"
"There is a plate noodles from Anhui, but I can't get it out in the back, and the guest officer is going to eat?" Xiao Er's tone slowed down and looked at Zheng Jue
"Okay, let's go" Zhu Youlang looked at Zheng Jue and this little two expressionlessly, what kind of codes
followed Xiao Er to the back of the tea house, after passing a small door, there was no cave, Zheng Jue saw a thin figure dressed as a scholar in a Confucian shirt, and after the person saw Zheng Jue come in, he hurriedly bowed his hand to Zheng Jue
"Xiao Keqian is obedient, and he has already received an order to cooperate with the two of them at all costs"
"Well, thank you Mr. Qian, are all my subordinates here?"
"Oh, the two of them are the last batch" Zheng Jue heard that he was the last to come, and coughed twice to relieve the embarrassment
"Shopkeeper! Shopkeeper's! The big thing is not good, the Tartars sealed the city gate, saying that they were spies who entered the Ming army," the young man who brought Zheng Jue and Zhu Youlang in just now suddenly rushed in and shouted
"What's going on? Why was the city locked down all of a sudden? The money shopkeeper asked the little two in surprise and followed him out
Zheng Jue's heart is broken now, this has just sneaked into Wuchang, Wuchang City has been sealed, someone must have leaked the news, and everyone gathered to close the city immediately, obviously for Zheng Jue and them
"Big brother, what should I do?"
"What to do? him! ”
Zhu Youlang was brought by Zheng Jue more and more simple and rude, but in addition to working hard with them, what else could he do?
"Two gentlemen, we just received an order from Li Gongzi, and after cooperating with the two of you, we will withdraw from Wuchang with the two of you" Li Guo seems to have an iron heart to go to Hunan, but Wuchang is indeed not safe, and it is just a waste to use it
"Mr. Qian, have the Tartars held some special prisoners where they are held?"
"What special prisoner? For example? ”
"The family members of important ministers from Nanjing"
"Oh, some of them, a few months ago, there was a group of female dependents who withdrew from Nanjing, and I heard that there are two daughters of the old family of the pavilion, because Nanjing may be attacked by a sneak attack"
"We are going to detain them in detail" Qian Gongshun knew the purpose of the two, so he went down to make arrangements, and it will take a while to find out, but this is the only place where Zheng Jue and them still have the initiative, that is, the Qing army doesn't know what they want to do
Zheng Jue and Zhu Youlang heard in the courtyard what the Qing army was searching for on the street
Zheng Jue then looked at the thirty soldiers who followed up, all of them were Zheng Jue's own soldiers and scouts with better skills, and this time he had to rely on them
Zheng Jue chatted with his subordinates for a few words, and then the money shopkeeper came in with a map and told Zheng Jue that the entire family members of the anti-officials from Nanjing were locked up in the governor's yamen, but the officials who surrendered had taken their families away, and the families of the martyred officials had been taken to other places to be detained, and now there are more than a dozen families left in the governor's yamen who still have use value, including Li Yue and Li Lin! The Qing army originally wanted to use them to persuade Ma Shiying to surrender, but if Ma Shiying fled back to Guangxi, it would harm them
Zheng Jue looked at the map of Wuchang's city, the back door of the governor's yamen was very close to the east gate, and when the time came, he sneaked in through the front gate, and escaped from the back door and escaped directly from the east gate of Wuchang
"Two gentlemen, we can open the east gate of Wuchang at night, and then we will open the city gate at the same time, and we will rush out together"
"That's the best, thank you for the money"
Zheng Jue plans to do it tomorrow night, and the more time drags on, the more dangerous the two Li Yue sisters will be
"Big brother, rest early, let's do it tomorrow night!"
"Hmm" Zhu Youlang didn't say anything, Zhu Youlang has matured a lot along the way, this is a metamorphosis
Zhu Youlang went to rest, and Zheng Jue also lay down on the bed for a while, with a map of Wuchang printed in his mind, thinking about how to escape from Wuchang City tomorrow night
