Chapter 536: Countermeasures
After He Lin and Liu Yin left, Yang Lin did not rest, but was refreshed and energetic, walked to the door of the camp, and said lightly to the guards on the side: "Go, call Bailihe and Qu Kun over." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Immediately, Yang Lin ignored the guard, reflexively returned to his seat, his eyes were flowing with crystal light, as if he was distracted, and as if he was thinking about something, he looked straight at the sizzling brazier, quietly waiting for the arrival of the two.
Soon, Qu Kun and Bailihe came to the tent, and saw the marshal looking at the flames in the brazier in a daze, although the two of them were puzzled, they didn't know the marshal's intention to summon themselves so late, but they still kept quiet and stood there honestly.
After a while, Yang Lin woke up from his trance, and seemed to have known that the two were coming, and while looking at the two, he said calmly: "Baili Staff Officer, Ah Kun, just now, He Shen's younger brother He Lin came and wanted to cooperate with us, what do you think about this matter?" ”
The two were stunned for a moment, Qu Kun was the first to react, and said excitedly: "Marshal, if He Shen is really ready to cooperate with us and take the capital, it would be great, in this way, our actions will be much smoother, and a lot of trouble will be saved?" ”
However, unexpectedly, Yang Lin did not respond to Qu Kun immediately, but his eyes flashed, and his gaze fell on Baili He's body: "Baili Staff, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Bailihe didn't answer immediately, thought for a moment, and then showed a puzzled look on his face, and said puzzledly: "Marshal, I don't understand a little...."
"What don't you understand? Just say it, don't worry about anything. Seeing Bailihe's hesitation and his eyes asking for instructions, Yang Lin immediately understood and immediately said.
"Marshal, it's like this, since the uprising of our army, it has been a few months, it is impossible for He Shen not to know our policy, it is very strong against the Manchus, even if they take the initiative to vote, the benefits are not much, far less than the various privileges given to them by the Qing court, the status is far beyond the Han people, as Manchus, or the absolute elite upper echelons, they have no reason to take the initiative to vote?"
Hearing Bailihe's questioning words, the excitement on Qu Kun's face immediately disappeared, and he echoed worriedly: "Yes, marshal, is there any conspiracy in it that wants to lure us into the trap?" ”
It seems that he had already guessed that the two of them would have such suspicions, Yang Lin behaved very calmly, waved his hand, and said affirmatively: "No, the reason why He Shen wants to cooperate with us is because Qianlong died, without this backer, Jiaqing wants to attack them again, just with the title of the second emperor, the consequences of He Shen are obvious." ”
Bailihe nodded, revealing a sudden expression, and said thoughtfully: "Also, although Qianlong took the initiative to give up three years ago and passed it on to Jiaqing, however, the government has always been controlled by Qianlong behind his back, and He Shen is controlled at the front desk, so he has the title of the second emperor, and has been a puppet for more than three years, how can Emperor Jiaqing easily bypass He Shen, even if it is not the nine clans of Zhulian, he has to end up being beheaded." ”
Vaguely, a hint of schadenfreude flashed in Bailihe's expression.
Qu Kun said to himself: "No, Jiaqing is at most to confiscate He Shen's family property and kill He Shen alone, no matter what, Feng Shen Yinde is also his brother-in-law, how can Jiaqing bear to let his sister be widowed at a young age?" ”
"Ruthlessness is the most emperor's family." Yang Lin said so lightly, I don't know if he was talking to himself, or responding to Qu Kun's muttering.
As a learned person, Bailihe certainly understood what Yang Lin meant, this sentence was not only a mockery of the Qing court, but also a sentiment about history, just shook his head slightly, and then, his expression changed, became solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Marshal, if Qianlong really died, with the current situation, the Jingshi dynasty is not safe, and the possibility of He Shen and them surrendering is very high, but, marshal, the news about Qianlong's death is only a side of He Lin's words, if it is fake news, this matter will have to be discussed." ”
Of course, Yang Lin understood that Bailihe's worries were right, but according to the history he knew, Qianlong did die in the first month of the fourth year of Jiaqing, but the specific date was not clear.
At this time, Qu Kun also recovered from his sigh, and said thoughtfully: "Yes, the current capital is under martial law in the whole city, and our latent personnel cannot move at all, and Qianlong's death is a secret matter, and our people can't find out, even if they find out the authenticity of the news, they can't send it out." ”
For a while, the tent was silent, a little depressed, these suspicious things made Yang Lin unable to make a decision, after all, this is a move that will affect the overall situation, but he still threw it coldly.
"I promised Helin, and by this time tomorrow, I would give him a clear answer."
Gradually, time passed minute by minute, and it was already late at night, the three of them still had no idea, and they coped with it, because the time was urgent, they were in a hurry, and their spirits were in a tense state at all times, and the three of them did not have the slightest sleep.
I don't know when, Qu Kun suddenly exclaimed: "Marshal, I have an idea~!" ”
In an instant, Yang Lin and Bailihe were awakened at the same time, recovered from deep thought, and asked in unison, "What idea?!" ”
At this moment, seeing the hopeful eyes cast by the two of them, Qu Kun instantly burst out with an indescribable sense of comfort, without any hesitation, and immediately replied: "Marshal, Baili staff officer, in the capital, we have three or four hundred hidden personnel, if we make use of these people, divide half of them, and blend into the Qing army, or the patrol troops in the city, or the soldiers guarding the city gate." ”
The eyes of the two lit up at the same time, and Bailihe added: "Since He Lin wants to cooperate with us, he can completely ask him to handle these things, place our soldiers in the Qing army, and plan our actions." ”
Yang Lin's thinking was also diverged, and then he said: "As long as the sleepers can move smoothly, even if it is not very effective for our siege operations, we can still collect some information to confirm whether He Lin's words are true?" ”
Bailihe had a better understanding of the system of the Qing court and the responsibilities of officials, and said: "As the commander of the Nine Gates, He Shen is responsible for the guards of the nine gates of the inner city, and he is also the commander of the Yellow Banner, holding the military power of the Yellow Banner, and the Yellow Banner is responsible for guarding the eastern area north of the capital. ”
Between the words, the more Qu Kun listened, the more excited he became, and immediately echoed: "Yes, when our small force comes to Andingmen and Dongzhimen, don't go deeper, just stop in front of the gate, with the advantage of the power of our firearms, occupy the two city gates for a while, it's not a problem at all!" ”
"Then, a large force followed closely behind, taking advantage of the night, as long as the two small forces controlled Andingmen and Dongzhimen, the large troops behind acted quickly, from Dongzhimen and Andingmen to attack the inner city of the Beijing Division, the success was very large, even what He Lin said was false, all this is a trap."
Yang Lin's face was also filled with excitement, nodded frequently, and said loudly: "Yes, as long as we open a gap from Dongzhimen and Andingmen, with our powerful firepower and continuous troops, even if it is a trap, we can fill it up!" ”
