Chapter 25: Rescue (I)
Zheng Tai watched Wu Yinglin and his men get on the return sailboat with his glasses, and said with a sigh of relief: "They finally went back, and now they are finally at ease!" ”
The guard Chen Daniu also said, "Yes, we finally fooled them over, if they don't leave, we really missed something." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn order to deceive them, we pulled a lot of people, and even put soldiers pretending to be people in Sydney for them to see. My lord, those cattle and sheep were borrowed from many people in Nanyang, and they should be returned to them as soon as possible. Otherwise, the daily rent is also very expensive! ”
Zheng Tai waved his hand impatiently and said, "Don't ask me about such trivial matters, find someone to handle it yourself!" ”
Chen Daniu looked at the prairie behind him and said, "My lord, Australia is a good place, it was found by our Zheng family's navy, how can it be cheaper Wu Sangui, a traitor!" ”
Zheng Tai sighed and said, "Hey, if it weren't for the fact that the population of Huaxia is too small now, and the chassis occupied by the Great General is so big, there is really no way to take care of Australia anymore." can only be cheap Wu Sangui. However, Wu Sangui will not be complacent for too long, as long as he waits for the general to slow down, he will definitely take back Australia. Okay, don't be verbose, hurry up and send someone to prepare the clipper, I'm going to tell the general, it's done! ”
"Yes!"
……
When Wu Yinglin returned, he did not go to Chongqing first, but went directly to Nanjing to meet Zheng Chenggong.
Three days before Wu Yinglin came to Nanjing, Zheng Tai had already taken a boat to Nanjing.
In the Fengtian Palace, Zheng Tai said respectfully, "General, the matter has been done. According to the report of his subordinates, Wu Yinglin is rushing to Nanjing, and he should have come to surrender to the general! ”
Zheng Chenggong nodded and said, "This matter is done well, the public industry has worked hard!" ”
Zheng Tai hurriedly said, "This is the responsibility of the lower officials, and I dare not say that it is hard!" ”
Zheng Xiuyan said on the side, "Father-in-law, there is news from Wu Sangui's internal response that after Wu Sangui does respond to the news from Australia, he has plans to surrender to Cheng. But he didn't want to blatantly do it so quickly. I thought about using the reason that my eldest son was a hostage in Beijing to delay, and I wanted the situation to be clearer before making plans. ”
Zheng Chenggong heard it and said angrily, "No, we must force Wu Sangui as soon as possible anyway, and let his men go to Australia." Before the Northern Expedition, Chongqing and even Sichuan must be in our hands. ”
Zheng Xiuyan said, "Father-in-law, it just so happens that my grandfather's rescue work is almost ready. Xiuyan will leave for Jingshi, and by the way, find an opportunity to rescue Wu Yingxiong, so that he will have no excuse, and then the father-in-law will make a tough gesture, presumably he will be able to force Wu Sangui to comply! ”
Zheng Chenggong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you?" ”
……
Zheng Xiuyan led people under the cover of the Northern Investigation Bureau and secretly infiltrated Jingshi.
At the entrance of Chehe Street in the outer city of Jingshi, in a secret room of the inn, Zheng Xiuyan said in a low voice, "How is the rescue of Taishi Zheng going?" ”
As soon as the director asked, several capable people of the Northern Investigation Bureau in the secret room lowered their heads guiltily and said, "The subordinates are incompetent, the rescue has been smashed, and the director is asked to punish him!" ”
Zheng Xiuyan's face turned cold when she heard it and said, "You replied to the news before, but you said that you were ready, how could you mess up, say!" ”
Fang Dahong, director of the Northern Investigation Bureau, hurriedly replied, "Director, we have already planned it before. In order to allow Taishi Zheng to escape smoothly, we found a thief from the lower nine gates to dig a tunnel, and also bought a guard at the south gate. Everything was ready, and that night, we took Master Zheng out of the cell, hid him in a bucket of gold juice, and as soon as the city gate opened at dawn, we sent Master Zheng out of the capital. ”
Zheng Xiuyan asked, "Since you have escaped, how can you mess up?" ”
Fang Dahong sighed and said, "It's all the fault of his subordinates, and his subordinates misestimated the Manchu Qing's care of Taishi Zheng. As soon as our people sent the Taishi away, the Manchu monitors found out that something was wrong, and while sending people to block the news, the four gates of the Jingshi were closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, and the violators were beheaded! On the other hand, he sent people to chase after the Taishi. Originally, it was not bad to mess up just like this, but I didn't expect that there was a typhoon that day, and the northwest wind blew, and the battleship sent to meet us was delayed. In this way, the Taishi caught up with the Manchu iron cavalry in Tianjin, and all the soldiers guarding him were killed. Our plan failed! Now the Manchu Qing Dynasty has tighter control over the Taishi, and the courtyard that traps him has been surrounded by bricks and stones on all sides. It's hard to even see each other! ”
Zheng Xiuyan sighed when she heard it and said, "It's really up to people to make things happen!" You've done your best, and you're not to blame for that! ”
Fang Dahong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Director Xie! ”
Zheng Xiuyan looked at several officers of the Northern Investigation Bureau and said, "Now the general has surrendered Wu Sangui, the king of Qingping West, but one of the conditions is to rescue his eldest son Wu Yingxiong. Now your Northern Investigation Bureau has a heavier task, in addition to rescuing the Taishi who is being strictly guarded, you also have to rescue Wu Yingxiong's father and son. Tell us what you think! ”
Several backbones of the Investigation Bureau frowned when they heard this, it was already difficult to rescue a single Zheng Zhilong, and now they had to rescue Wu Yingxiong's father and son, which was simply as difficult as heaven!
Seeing that they bowed their heads and didn't speak, Zheng Xiuyan's face sank and she drank, "Where are you usually capable!" Isn't it very good to show your ability? Now they are mute and don't dare to speak! ”
Zheng Xiuyan slapped her palm on the bookcase and drank: "Cai Jiuyi of the Southwest Investigation Bureau has made great contributions to pacifying the ethnic minorities in the southwest, and has rebelled against the thirteen families in eastern Sichuan, and has taken nineteen counties without a single soldier. You see, your Northern Investigation Bureau has spent so much manpower and material resources that you can't even do a single thing. What's the use of the general raising you, all go home and take the children! ”
Fang Dahong blushed and said, "Director, give us three days." In three days, we will definitely come up with a plan to ensure that the mission is completed! ”
Zheng Xiuyan stared at Fang Dahong with her eyes and said, "Okay, I'll give you three days." After three days, if you still have no choice, I will dismiss you all and send you to Nanyang to farm for me. ”
Fang Dahong hurriedly shouted, "Yes, Director." If it is not completed by then, you don't need to say it, we will find a rope to hang ourselves, saving your eyes! (To be continued.) )
