Chapter 48: The Contest (Part 3)

"Plan No. 1, it should be, it won't be needed for the time being." Wu Yongchun was slightly stunned at first, and then slowly shook his head.

What surprised him was not that the other party also knew the No. 1 plan, but that the old man suddenly called his previous name, Wu Twenty-two, which means that the virtue of giving the name at the beginning may be the time to repay, and at the moment, in his hands, except for the military power, I am afraid there is nothing that the old master Lu can look at.

Sure enough, the No. 1 plan was just an opening statement, Lu Lu looked around quickly, and then looked at the dark and dreary rainy night outside, and continued to say in a deep voice: "The old man doesn't know soldiers, so these days, I have been panicking in my heart, twenty-two, can you tell the old man the truth, how sure are you to ensure that Jiangwan is safe." ”

"Jiangwan fired three platoons of artillery this evening, judging from the sound, it was not to kill the enemy." Wu Yongchun did not directly respond to Old Master Lu's words, but explained very patiently that according to the agreement between me and Chen De, this is him telling me that there is no need for any reinforcements for the time being. ”

"Hoo ,,。" When Lu Lu heard this, he let out a long sigh of relief, then slowly turned his body around, stared at Wu Yongchun's eyes and asked, "Xu Da, how is the situation recently?" ”

"Tokhtar has crossed the Yellow River from downstream, but Huai'an City is as safe as a rock." Wu Yongchun didn't know what the other party wanted to know, so he groaned slightly, and continued to respond in a low voice, "Xu Da has already sent Hu Dahai to guard Gaoyou, as long as the two of these two cities are still there, they will have to return sooner or later." ”

Between Huai'an and Yangzhou, whether it is a waterway or a 6th road, it is unimpeded, and the old master has the right to read the military newspaper for the first time.

Before Wu Yongchun could figure out any clues, Lu Luzeng's voice suddenly became extremely low, "The chief manager, there is new news coming back, the old man remembers that he left Huai'an five days ago. ”

"Nope." Wu Yongchun suddenly became alert in his heart, pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, and shook his head gently, "The last general has it here, Lord Changshi has it, and Lord Changshi has anything else, if there is none, hurry up and go back to sleep, the night is already late." ”

This was already clearly an order to evict the guests, but Lu Luzeng did not have the slightest consciousness of taking the initiative to leave, and looked around quickly, and asked in a lower voice, "There are rumors that the chief manager has an accident at sea, twenty-two, did you hear it?" ”

"Nope." Wu Yongchun was shocked, and under the agitation of his heart, the saber on his waist was pulled out by more than half an inch, "Master, where did you hear that, Master, you are the elder of the Grand Governor." ”

"It is precisely because the old man is the elder of the chief manager that the old man is restless." Lu Lu once slowly retreated half a step, his body tensed towards a bow, "The old man not only heard this rumor, but the old man also heard that the reason why Tokhtar was able to cross the Yellow River was that someone deliberately relaxed the vigilance on the water, borrowed, borrowed a knife to kill people." ”

"Boom." There was a sudden explosion in the sky, and the lightning illuminated the enemy tower brighter than the snow cave, and Wu Yongchun's face also became whiter than snow at this moment.

The Metropolitan Governor has never had any children after he got married, and if he encounters an accident at sea, the Huaiyang Department will immediately fall into an embarrassing situation where there are no dragons, and Xu Da, who was designated as the first heir, is obviously no match for the prestige of the Metropolitan Governor, not only Mr. Su, Liu Ziyun and other veterans are not convinced, but the commanders of other armies may not be willing to follow suit.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly a wonderful move to let the army cross the river and attack Xu Da with the hand of Meng Yuan, and no matter who wins or loses, Xu Da's prestige will definitely be greatly reduced, and the other few people behind him will have the opportunity to move forward.

But in case the detachment breaks Huai'an, they, aren't they afraid that everyone will be cut down and eradicated, after all, after all, Mengyuan has a full army of 300,000 people, after all, after all, what Huaiyang is doing at the moment is incompatible with the current system of the imperial court.

was so frightened that his soul was scattered, but there were more voices from Lu Lu Zeng in his ears, a little yin, more vicious, "The old man also heard that recently, several shareholders of the Huaiyang firm have met in secret, and the imperial court has promised that if they sacrifice Yangzhou, they will not blame the past, they only need to hand over the cadre shares of the chief manager to the imperial court, and the others can be as usual." ”

"Click." Another coarse lightning bolt, the whole enemy building shook to the ground, Huaiyang business is a huge magnet, the reason why the local leaders and faces in the integration of the gentry to pay grain and spread the land into the mu, but also willing to advance and retreat together with the governor's office, on the one hand, is forced by the knife in the hands of the Huai'an army, another very important reason is that from the Huaiyang business name of the industry, see a huge amount of dividends, and in case the court agrees to keep the business name unchanged, for the local gentry, The last reason for resistance is completely gone, and without the Grand Governor, their life will only be better than it is now.

But what about the brothers of the Huai'an Army, the millions of Li Shu from all over Huaiyang Gaoyou, and those homeless people who have just found a taste of life from the New Deal and the New Workshop, what awaits them, there is no need to think about it, Wu Yongchun knows it clearly, before the Xuzhou Uprising, he was a small follower under the command of Xu Yi, and he has seen all the darkness that belonged to the bottom at that time.

"Twenty-two is a native of Xuzhou." Thinking of that unbearable past, all the panic and fear in Wu Yongchun's heart disappeared in an instant, "If there is no metropolitan governor, what Twenty-two is doing now is still to deceive the good and fear the evil, and insult the deeds of the ancestors, after the twenty-two joined the army, although the father and mother and brothers and sisters were taken to Yangzhou, but inside and outside Xuzhou City, there are still dozens of relatives of my Wu family, as well as the neighbors who grew up watching the twenty-two, get rid of a big flood, and the whole of Xuzhou will be washed away, so, Twenty-two doesn't care what others do, It doesn't matter where the Metropolitan Governor goes in the future, as long as Twenty-two still has a breath of air, this Yangzhou City is the Metropolitan Governor's, no matter who can take it away, Master, Twenty-two said this, can you understand. ”

As he spoke, he slowly pulled out the waist knife, slowly wiped it with the palm of his left hand, the sharp blade, instantly cut the palm of the palm, there was a bright red blood bead, along the edge of the palm, a drop splashed on the ground, illuminated by the candle in the enemy building, the red was extremely dazzling.

An overwhelming murderous aura also radiated from his body in an instant, and the mountain pressed towards Lu Luzeng opposite, who was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and immediately, a sincere smile bloomed on his face, "Twenty-two, and wait, the old man is not the kind of person you think, the old man didn't misunderstand you, the old man is glad that he didn't missee you that day." ”

"Are you old?" The murderous aura in the enemy building was quickly blown away by the night wind, and the commander of the Fourth Army made Wu Yongchun frown, and his eyes were full of vigilance.

"Not to mention that the chief manager is the old man's grandson-in-law, there are more than 170 members of my Lu family, and less than ten of them were taken over the Yellow River alive." Lu Luzeng smiled again and added in a low voice, "You Wu Yongchun know that you don't share the sky with Meng Yuan, how can the old man go to the Tartar to wagging his tail and beg for mercy again." ”

These two sentences, but every sentence says the key point, although there is no one in the Lu family, who is listed as the successor by Zhu Chongjiu, but the relationship between their family and Zhu Chongjiu, standing on the side of the Mengyuan court, is closer than anyone else, so at present, after anyone in Yangzhou City surrenders to Mengyuan, they may survive, but the Lu family has no hope, according to the cruel style of Meng Yuan's past, from Lu Zeng, until the daughter of the fifth army commander Shi Lu Deshan, who is only half a year old, can not escape from life.

"And what about you?" Thinking of this, Wu Yongchun breathed a sigh of relief and hesitated to ask.

"It's a big deal, and the old man has to find out your attitude first." Lu Lu Zeng also exhaled lightly, and lifted the hem of his shirt, revealing a grenade pinned to his waist.

It is a new type of grenade just made by the Great Craftsman Academy, and it has not yet been officially put into production, and the biggest difference from the grenade equipped by the Huai'an Army is that this thing is in the position of the original fuse, and a small pull ring is installed, as long as the pull ring is pulled, it will pass through a copper wire, pull the glass slag and sulfur mixture inside, and ignite it instantly, and then within a few breaths, the whole grenade will explode with a bang, and all the living creatures within three steps around it will be sent to the west sky.

"You're always dead, you're old, you're old and get rid of that thing." Wu Yongchun was taken aback again, and ordered with a smile.

The reason why the new grenade has not been put into production for a long time is that the explosion time of this object cannot be grasped at all, and it may explode in an instant when the iron ring is opened, so that the grenadiers do not even have time to throw it out, or they may not explode after throwing it out, and when the people around them think that it is dumb, they will suddenly surprise people.

"It's okay, it's okay, this one, this one is made by Master Jiao himself, and there will definitely be no baskets." Lu Lu once turned sideways and waved his hand again and again, "Don't worry about the grenade first, listen to the old man, this afternoon, the three shareholders of Zheng, He, and Hu of Huaiyang Firm gathered more than a dozen other small shareholders to discuss, planning to dedicate Yangzhou City to Dong Junxiao, the old man has conclusive evidence in his hand, you quickly transfer troops to arrest them with the old man." ”

"Shopkeeper Zheng, Director He, and Hu Tent Room." Wu Yongchun felt another abrupt in his heart, but asked very calmly, "What about the internal security department, why don't they have any news at all." ”

"Zhang Song is in Huai'an at the moment, and the one who stays here in Yangzhou is a guy named Duan Zhengyi, who ranked second class in last year's imperial examination, and was ordered to enter the army for training, and then climbed to the position of deputy director of the internal affairs department little by little." Lu Lu sighed and added a little helplessly.

Before the Huai'an Army resumed social studies, the children of poor families could not afford to read at all, and the Yin Shi family in these years was more or less connected with the local gentry, so the internal affairs department pretended to be deaf and dumb to the sinister schemes of the gentry, and the reason was very simple.

It was already very clear, but Wu Yongchun still shook his head lightly, "According to the rules set by the Metropolitan Governor before he went north, the Internal Affairs Department is only responsible for supervising and exploring, but arresting people must be approved by the prefect's yamen, and Wu is not qualified to arrest people unless invited by the prefect's yamen." ”

"At this time, how can you think about it so much." When Lu Lu heard this, his eyes immediately burst into flames, "In the afternoon, Liu Bowen, the mountain chief of Mingli Academy, also participated, and that Liu Bowen is the uncle of Luo Governor's Mansion, in case he is also pulled over, it will be too late for you to regret it." ”
