[My bad, the chapter name is duplicated, and it can't be seen in the table of contents at all]

Chen Ming of Gaoyou Prefecture couldn't sleep tonight, he was in control of every move of the Fu Han Army, and of course he knew that the secret camp planned to assassinate Liu Yong, so the old song always echoed in his ears tonight:

"There is a stalk between heaven and earth, and the name ** is the common people; Weigh the stalks and pick the rivers and mountains babbling, you are the star ...... of the fixation"

When he was a child, Chen Ming was familiar with this song, and he had a very good impression of Liu Luoguo and Liu Yong played by Li Baotian, including He Shen played by Wang Gang, the chubby He Zhongtang, who was also very loving.

It was a childhood impression, the best impression of a person's life.

Although when he grew up, he knew that Liu Yong did not make a pot, and he did not have a wife who made Emperor Qianlong 'taste', because at that time, the Manchu and Han did not intermarry, and the Manchu prince's Gege would not marry a Han Chinese. And He Shen is not a fat man, but an absolute beautiful man!

Coming to this era, Chen Ming is destined to stand on the opposite side of Liu Luoguo. As an adult, his cognition of Liu Yong is no longer comparable to that of his childhood, and it is impossible for them to oppose the Qing Dynasty when the Liu family has been an official eunuch in Zhucheng for generations. Liu Yong's father Liu Tongxun is even more famous, with a high status, a reputation all over the world, and his status and prestige are too prominent and prominent.

None of these facts can be covered up by a 'good feeling'. After Liu Yong went to Shandong as the first minister of regimental training in Shandong, all the good things were pressed in Chen Ming's heart, and Liu Yong was already his very direct enemy. Besides, he's not a child anymore, he's an adult. Liu Yong's impression in his heart has long been that he is not 'Liu Luoguo', and he is now responsible for the soldiers who follow him.

In the case of low morale and low morale of the army, in order to win the crucial battle of northern Jiangsu, Liu Yong had to die. Although this kind of 'beheading'-like assassination seems less promising.

But only when Liu Yong dies will the Shandong regimental training be leaderless, and there will be a greater possibility of chaos in the army's morale lured by rumors and internal strife, and the chances of the Han army can be more out of the way, and a humerus bone of the Manchu army going south will be broken before the war starts.

"Goo, goo......"

Suddenly a carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and landed in the backyard of the Yamen of Gaoyou Prefecture, and the attendants who stayed there immediately took down the secret letter and sent it to Liu Wu's hands. Liu Wu took the password, and after translating it according to the script, he couldn't help but have a smile on his face, he looked at Liu Dezhao on the side with a somewhat strange gaze, and said to Chen Mingyu:

"Governor, a secret letter from Fujian. The old Zhang family was ready to send a distant girl from the clan, and the Zheng brothers were also ready to send it after hearing it, and even the heaven and earth associations in Taiwan and Fujian were ready to move. If everything goes well, it will be as short as one month or as long as three or two months, and the inner room of the Metropolitan Governor will be lively. ”

Liu Wu's words made Chen Ming's face appear a touch of strangeness, and he knew in his heart that this was a 'marriage'. Then these women Chen Ming must be accepted, and they can stabilize the hearts of the people in the southeast. And Liu Dezhao's psychological face is full of taste, his girl has been 'favored' by Chen Ming for several months, and there is no good news. Even if it was before, the current Fu Han Army is different, but it is useless.

Chen Ming never brought women with him when he led his troops to fight, and he never lingered when he gained strategies along the way. Whatever he does, to put it harshly, is worthy of 'disliking women'.

"I can't sleep tonight." Without waiting for the flying pigeons from Yancheng to come, how could Chen Ming sleep? "You don't have to stay up all night with me, go down to sleep."

"The dark camp can succeed in tonight's operation, which is my luck to restore the Han army; can't succeed, it's also Liu Yong's fate. There are only 18,000 regiments around the village to train the villagers, and how much real strength do they deserve in the war? ”

The Qing army's southward march was the first horse team, the second was artillery, the third was the Eight Banners New Army, and the remaining Manchu and Han soldiers were no different from the men and horses who had fought against the Han army in the past.

However, the Qing army's vigorous southward movement, and the retreat of the Han army will definitely make them more confident. 50,000 horses, not to be underestimated.

The night sky resembles a navy blue curtain and is dotted with sparkling stars, which makes people feel intoxicated. Today's night is very beautiful, in China in the 21st century, it is rare to see so many stars at night even in a small county. But there will never be silence tonight, and the sword lights and shadows of Yancheng will add a terrifying shudder to this beautiful night sky.

At this time in Yancheng, the fire outside the city has caused countless refugees to panic, and it has also involved many regimental training troops stationed outside the city. Just as Xiao Changchun and Wei Changkong thought, after the people fell asleep that night, they didn't need to use the hands of the people who were lurking in the Han army, the shacks burned themselves, or the firewood burned out, and the sparks were blown to the reeds and straw mats by the wind, or for some other reason, anyway, there was no need to do anything, and the shack areas burned badly by themselves.

Liu Yong didn't sleep that night, and he was not surprised to hear that the shack area outside the city was burning badly. And when the fire in the city also broke out, a sneer appeared on his face: "Sneaky people, devilish tricks." The fire in the city must have been committed by the thieves lurking, and the herald should not be alarmed. Gunpowder and grain were heavily guarded. The sentry soldiers, the swords and guns are unsheathed, and in case of chaos, they are suppressed on the spot. Those who dare to stir up chaos, and those who dare to take advantage of the fire to rob Jianyin, are all killed. ”

Liu Yong, who sat in the official office, never thought that the goal of the Fu Han army was his own life, and the Yancheng official office was heavily guarded, and the yamen was also arranged by sergeants inside and out, which was completely impregnable.

For tonight's 'accident', Liu Yong only has four words - calm down!

As long as the more than 3,000 Shandong people in Yancheng are stable, not chaotic and not panicked, what use can the demon tricks of the Fu Han Army do?

Liu Yong couldn't have imagined that in the land under his feet, in the two tunnels that communicate the outside world and the yamen, eight masters of the special department of the Fu Han Army are lurking among them. In a small courtyard four or five hundred meters away from the Yancheng official office, more than a dozen people were busy going back and forth inside and outside the house, boxes of flowering shells and gunpowder were moved to the backyard, and Xiao Changchun stood in the courtyard, surrounded by four short mortar cannons.

This is a kind of artillery newly cast by the Fuhan Army, which can fill the firepower gap between the flying thunder cannon and the three-jin gun, with small weight and fast firing speed, because the mortar cannon body is extremely short, the ratio of caliber to barrel length is usually below 1:10, the firing angle is large, the arc is high, although the firing range is also short, but the projectile is powerful. The small-caliber portable mortar was the original ancestor of the later mortar.

Xiao Changchun wants to use this specially reinforced courtyard as a fortress to make a big fuss in Yancheng.

In addition to these dozen people in the backyard, there were twenty or thirty people in the entire front yard and house, and half of the manpower of the entire Yancheng Station was gathered here, and their only role was to attract the attention of the Qing soldiers. Let me make it clear: those artillerymen and musketeers are not from Yancheng Station, they are specially selected by the Fu Han army before leaving. After today's mission, they have to go back to the army.

Just after the second watch, a fire broke out in Yancheng, and the commotion reached ten points in the third watch, and Yancheng Station broke out. When the flowering bombs fell to the camp of the Qing army not far away, when the violent explosion resounded in the night sky of Yancheng, Liu Yong jumped up.

- Could it be that the Fu Han army left in Yancheng was an army? Such heavy artillery fire.

"My lord, the rebels have left a small artillery team in the city and are bombarding the Qingzhou regiment training." Just when Liu Yong sent someone to investigate, someone outside had already come to report. The unlucky Shandong regimental training that fell within the range of Yancheng Station turned out to be from Qingzhou.

"Bold, bold. Immediately send troops to the official to quell the rebellion. Liu Yong heard the explosion and it was really an artillery team, and he was immediately angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. "How dare they ambush an artillery team in the city, how contemptuous they must be of Shandong regimental training.

"Your Excellency. and send men and horses to guard the whole city. It's hard to guarantee that Chen Yi will keep a group of men and horses in the city. "If only this group of men and horses stays in Yancheng, then how many nails can they hit if they are covered in iron? Isn't it just death?

"What Xian Yang said is very true, Chen rebels against other places in the city, and there will be thieves in ambush. Orders were given to all battalions to be put on strict alert. That thief soldier has his own Qingzhou regimental practice. Bring three hundred men to your support. "Zhucheng is in Qingzhou, Qingzhou regimental training is divided into two, Liu Yong's personal barracks have six or seven hundred people, and the other Qingzhou battalion also has six or seven hundred people.

And the small courtyard where the artillery fire broke out was only the size of an ordinary courtyard, and it was only two or three hundred people filled with people. What's more, if there are so many people, how can the people who patrol the whole city not find out in the afternoon? Liu Yong thought about it and thought that there might not even be a hundred people there.

With so many six or seven hundred people in the Qingzhou battalion, Zhang Gu [Zi Xianyang] brought another three hundred people, and nearly a thousand people still can't take a small courtyard? Now it is dark night, and ten percent of the power of firearms cannot be exerted by three or five percent, as long as it is dealt with properly, the Qingzhou battalion will definitely be able to make contributions.

Wei Changkong could hear the sound outside, and the sound of the explosion of the flowering bomb was not comparable to that of the iron bullet. He didn't know if the four people in the other tunnel also noticed the sound, and a fire broke in the darkness, and said to the three followers behind him: "It's time, let's go!" ”

Anyway, the person along the way is just a spare tire. The tunnel leads directly to the main house in the backyard of the government, if Liu Yong stays there, he can be killed with a knife. Otherwise, there is a second exit - a side room in the front office.

Yancheng official office is an ordinary county office, is a traditional Chinese official building, fifteen or sixteen acres of land, the scale is huge, the momentum is majestic, and follow the current etiquette, symmetrical layout, left and right martial arts, front and back bed.

Its north-south axis is 40 zhang long, and the east and west are 25 zhang wide. On the central axis from the outside to the inside, it is the wall, the gate, the instrument door, the lobby, the second hall, the house gate, and the third hall; On the east side, there are temples, study rooms, kitchens, Gosh rooms, and miscellaneous rooms. On the west side, there are ice cellars, supervision and arrest halls, Hong Shanyi, and official halls. There are carports, stables, tea houses, granaries, etc. within the courtyard walls.

"Click......" There was a crisp sound in the night, and a young man dressed as a servant in Tsing Yi fell to the ground. Wei Changkong stood behind, his face not good-looking.

The person who did the special science looked at Wei Changkong, waiting for his order.

Liu Yong in the lobby. Let's go to the front office! (To be continued.) )
