Chapter 128: Bold Infiltration
After five days, Zhang Chao and a dozen members of his Hanguang Rangers soon came from Shenyang to the Liaodong Peninsula on fast horses, and then took a boat to Hebei Province during the Manchu Dynasty in China, but at this time it was called Zhili. Zhang Chao led people to land directly in the area of Tangshan in the later generations, and they really did not encounter the Qing army here for inspection and interrogation. The Qing army's defense focus was on the Shanhaiguan and Rehe areas, because these two areas bordered Tan Feng from land, so they were most worried about here.
However, the Qing army did not expect that Tan Feng's people would actually attack from the waterway. This Zhang Chao directly took more than a dozen people and landed here in a grand manner.
"Let's change our clothes!" Zhang Chao said.
Of the dozen or so people Zhang Chao carried, only three were Han Chinese who could speak Chinese, and the others were Mongolians. This is to prevent the betrayal of the Einsatzgruppen, because if the Mongols are the mainstay, these Mongols who do not speak Chinese, even if they want to betray, they will be easily exposed. And even if they are exposed, it is impossible for them to be forgiven by the Manchus, after all, this Einsatzgruppen must be crazy to commit crimes, and it will be impossible for them to bypass these Mongols at that time.
Zhang Chao soon went to pretend to be a robber and robbed a family of clothes and some money. However, Zhang Chao is still more disciplined, and he didn't snatch all his wealth, but just snatched what he needed. Those who were robbed were also glad that they had encountered a group of ordinary thieves who did not harm people's lives, and only robbed thirty percent of their wealth and did not rob too much.
"Captain, what do we do next?" The deputy leader of the Einsatzgruppen asked.
Zhang Chao replied: "Don't call me captain, remember, don't use the title of army here, understand?" Call me the boss, you're the second, understand? ”
"Got it!" Said the vice-captain.
Zhang Chao then went to rent a carriage and came directly from Tangshan to the Manchu Dynasty. When he arrived at the gate of the Beijing Division, the deputy captain directly began to ask Zhang Chao about the battle plan.
"Captain, are we going to sneak in?" The vice-captain asked.
Zhang Chao scolded again: "Stupid you! Don't you see that these Qing troops in Beijing will not search and search their bodies? In fact, they didn't expect that we would be able to mix all the way to Jingshi, and their focus on defense was tight on the outside and loose on the inside. Their focus is also on Shanhaiguan and Rehe, but they are not strict with the capital. In their thoughts, we should still be in the northeast, not mixed into the capital. They didn't know that we, the 'fine workers', would blend into the capital so quickly. So they didn't check strictly, and they didn't even care, it was still very easy. ”
"Why should we enter quietly, so as to arouse suspicion even more!"
Zhang Chao took these subordinates and walked directly into the east gate of the Manchu capital, without any disguise and concealment. Anyway, they didn't have any long weapons on them, so they weren't conspicuous. They walked in in a grand manner, and even Zhang Chao took the initiative to "pay taxes" in a grand manner, and everything was no different from the businessmen and people who entered the city on weekdays.
This is also the practice of infiltration, who stipulates that infiltration must be secretly infiltrated. Secret is not to hide, secret means to sneak in a place or way that others can't think of, and it doesn't have to be to hide and hide. If the dogmatic must sneak in secretly at night and take advantage of the darkness, this is even more dangerous. Because there is a curfew at night in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, isn't it easier for a group of people to sneak in secretly at night?
On the contrary, walk in directly during the day, and even take the initiative to pay taxes to the Manchus, so that the Manchus are not interested in paying attention to you at all. Because Tan Feng's troops are still far away in the northeast, and it is impossible to directly invade the pass, the Manchus never dreamed that Tan Feng's special forces would take the opportunity to infiltrate the capital, and the defense of the capital is obviously much looser.
Sneaking in like this is actually much better than sneaking in secretly, and people can't think of it at all!
Zhang Chao and the others walked in, and then went directly to the inn of Jingshi again "grandly" and rented an inn that looked very high-grade. Zhang Chao and his group of guests were generous, and they directly treated these innkeepers as uncles. Zhang Chao's money was stolen or robbed along the way anyway, and the money didn't have to be used in vain anyway.
Zhang Chao They don't have any weapons on them, their most useful weapon is a good brain. Therefore, Tan Feng did not equip Zhang Chao with weapons, and let them go to Han Land to prepare weapons by themselves, which is actually better. Because of the unremitting slackness of weapons, the Manchus could not have imagined that these people would be the Einsatzgruppen.
"Boss, how are we going to get gunpowder next? We're going to make gunpowder next, what are we going to do? The third child asked.
Zhang Chao scolded directly: "Stupid, let's go buy it!" There is money, in this Manchu court, what can't be bought? This Manchu Qing good Jingshi is good, with money you can buy almost anything, we don't have gunpowder, can't we buy it? ”
The third child was still puzzled: "However, I remember that gunpowder is here in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is also forbidden!" ”
Zhang Chao was speechless and said directly: "Gunpowder is forbidden, but there is a place where gunpowder cannot be used!" ”
Next, Zhang Chao spent money to buy a lot of clothes, including all kinds of clothes. Zhang Chao put on the clothes he bought and came directly to the famous Tongrentang in Beijing.
"Master, are you here?" The guy from Tongrentang Pharmacy asked.
Zhang Chao asked directly: "Do you have any medicinal materials here?" ”
The pharmacy guy hurriedly said: "Of course, our Tongrentang was just asked by the emperor a few years ago to let us supply medicinal materials to the royal family, which is a great honor!" We have all kinds of herbs here, you see......"
Zhang Chao took out a prescription and said, "Help me prepare this prescription, prepare eighty copies for me!" ”
"What? Eighty copies? The fellow asked, surprised.
Zhang Chao directly explained: "No way, we have a plague there, so naturally we want more!" Hurry up, don't grind! ”
In the case that Zhang Chao directly stuffed some silver ingots, those guys quickly rushed to prepare to grab the medicine. Eighty portions of medicinal herbs were soon prepared, and the sitting doctor of Tongrentang quickly gave advice.
"Sir, this medicine of yours should be for external use. You see there is saltpeter and sulfur here, which are obviously used as topical medicines. This ingredient is a drug for the treatment of the skin, is the environment quite dirty in your place, so many people are sick? Be sure to clean it up in the future, don't get too dirty, otherwise the old disease will recur soon! If you want this prescription in the future, you can come to me! ”
"Thank you!" Zhang Chao replied.
Zhang Chao spent a little money and hired a group of people to send the eighty portions of medicinal materials to his inn.
"Third brother, you go buy some charcoal and come back, second brother, you let people follow me to separate these saltpeters and sulfur for me!" Zhang Chao said.
The third child was directly stunned, Zhang Chao would actually do this, and he went directly to Tongrentang to grab medicine. Although they wanted gunpowder, gunpowder was a prohibited product in the customs, and if they wanted to manufacture and use gunpowder, they had to go through the review of the Manchu government and could not flow out casually.
Therefore, anyone who buys gunpowder will be strictly censored by the Manchus, and they will not be able to get gunpowder here according to common sense. But this Zhang Chao is such a chicken thief, he went directly to the pharmacy to catch the medicine according to the medicine. You must know that this saltpeter and sulfur, although in ancient times was one of the recipes for gunpowder, but it was also a thing to cure diseases. Surgical skin diseases, in particular, require saltpeter and sulfur for disinfection. Therefore, many prescriptions are equipped with saltpeter and sulfur, Zhang Chao directly took a prescription and went to the pharmacy to grab the medicine in a grand manner, so that people would not have any suspicions.
As for charcoal, this is also simpler, in this era, every household uses charcoal is not a few, as long as you have money, is it difficult to buy?
The second child saw that these many medicinal materials were wasted, and he was also quite heartbroken and said: "In order to buy this sulfur and saltpeter, we actually wasted all these medicinal materials?" What a waste of money! ”
Zhang Chao directly retorted: "Hehe, if we go directly to buy saltpeter and sulfur, and don't use these things as a cover, then what do we want to do, but the lion of the monk's head - obvious!" When the time comes, I am afraid that the people of the Manchu court will arrest us. ”
"Later, we'll go to another pharmacy and buy it. Use different recipes to purchase these saltpeters and sulfur, so that you can hide people's eyes. ”
Zhang Chao and they soon had a division of labor, the third child went to buy charcoal, Zhang Chao was responsible for wearing clothes of different identities, going to the various pharmacies in Beijing to buy saltpeter and sulfur, he took various prescriptions for treating skin diseases, and then went to various pharmacies to buy these medicinal materials. Anyway, there are a lot of these prescriptions, and you can find a lot of them directly if you go to a compendium of materia medica or a book on various medicinal materials.
As a result, a large number of medicinal materials were sent to Zhang Chao, and then the second child picked out the saltpeter and sulfur in the medicinal materials to form two piles of medicines.
When the various materials were ready, Zhang Chao began to arrange.
"Let the Mongolian brothers go and paste some paper shells with paper, and then we will make some grenades to come out!" Zhang Chao said.
Zhang Chao and the others adopted these things and quickly made them into grenades one by one. These grenades are simple to make, but they're just some large fireworks. However, this thing is much more ruthless than fireworks, Zhang Chao and they deliberately used some broken porcelain pieces, which were used to kill and injure the enemy.
What's even more terrifying is that these broken porcelain pieces have been specially treated.
"Boss, it's ready!" A member of the Mongolian team said.
Zhang Chao took out this brownish-yellow looking liquid, and then poured it out. Another member of the Mongolian team put some porcelain pieces into this brown-yellow liquid to stain and soak them, and soon the broken porcelain pieces were contaminated with this brownish-yellow liquid.
Don't look at these things that look ordinary, but these things are not ordinary! These brownish-yellow liquids, on the surface, look like medicinal wine, and this was brought into the capital by Zhang Chao and them in the name of medicinal wine. This medicinal wine is actually not an uncommon thing, but those Manchu people don't know that Zhang Chao has added ingredients to it.
"You must be careful, don't touch these broken porcelain pieces directly, otherwise the injury will be very fatal! It is made of poisonous vesicles of more than a dozen highly venomous snakes in our northeast, and once the wound is opened, there is no way to treat it! Zhang Chao said.
In the Northeast, although it is now freezing, snakes are hibernating. But it's better this way, Tan Feng and them are easier to kill snakes, and they are not afraid of being resisted. Tan Feng asked the experienced locals in the Northeast to find the snake cave, and after killing the snake, he obtained the poison sac, and then brewed some medicinal materials to hide people's ears, and one by one the highly poisonous medicinal wine was brewed out.
But now it is used by Zhang Chao and them to soak and stain these broken porcelain pieces, an important weapon to kill the enemy. These primitive or yo explosions are not very powerful, so they still need to be supplemented with these poisons, otherwise they will not be able to obtain enough power.
Tan Feng directly adopted this insidious and vicious weapon, and there was nothing taboo about it. Anyway, on this battlefield, but the battlefield of your life and death is not a kind of pretense for your subordinates.
Tan Feng will not be like many traversers, pretending to show mercy to his fellow Han people on the battlefield. Tan Feng knew very well that during this Qing Dynasty, especially after the middle of the Qing Dynasty, almost the vast majority of Han people had a sense of belonging to the Manchus. Even the vast majority of scholars considered the Manchus to be "orthodox".
In such a situation, even if you pay attention to the national righteousness of ordinary Han people, this is completely nonsense. Several of Tan Feng's troops participated in the Han Guangfu Army for the sake of national righteousness. There are few people who really care about national righteousness, so Tan Feng knows that even if he pays attention to national righteousness and shows mercy to those Han people, those Han people will also kill you in turn.
The battlefield is a place where you live and die, and as for what is benevolent and righteous, it can only be paid attention to after the war. Speaking of benevolence and righteousness on the battlefield, this thing is too extravagant.
"The commander said, there is no need to be taboo about anything. He told us that there is no need to think that your opponent is a Han Chinese Green Battalion troops, so he deliberately showed mercy. Mercy on the subordinates, that is adopted after the war, not in the course of the battle. In the course of the battle, as long as the enemy can be effectively killed, all means can be used, and there is no need to taboo anything. Zhang Chao said.
Soon, one by one, the on-site killing weapons were made. These things will become a sharp weapon to kill many nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty one by one, and no one thought that the results of the Einsatzgruppen would be so brilliant this time. This time, the Einsatzgruppen infiltrated the capital, making the Manchus miserable, and even swept away their majesty!
