From this day on, led by Yan Ling and Shi Chunhu, hundreds of talents from all walks of life across the country, of course, mainly from the army, constructed the initial framework of the Ming Intelligence Department. They have only one mission at the moment, and that is to assassinate Huang Taiji. For this extremely difficult task, they hid deep in the mountains and began to train hard day after day.

Zhu Youzhen wanted to assassinate Huang Taiji for not a day or two. Since ancient times, the assassination of the head of the enemy has been an effective means of striking the enemy, because it is less expensive than waging a bloody war; Second, the excellent leader of a regime often plays a very important and even decisive role in the development of the regime, and once the leader dies suddenly, the regime will fall into chaos or even collapse.

And Huang Taiji is such a leader. In history, the rise of the Jurchens in Jianzhou was the credit of Nurhachi, and the entry of the Qing army took place in the Shunzhi period, and in between, Huang Taiji not only connected the previous and the next, but also played a decisive role in reversing the balance of military power between the Ming and Qing dynasties. He first determined the Mongol tribes, and then repeatedly swept into the customs, ravaging Gyeonggi and Beizhili, Shandong and other places, further hollowing out the already weak national strength of the Ming Dynasty; In the first battle of Songshan, more than 100,000 Ming troops were annihilated, and Zu Dashou, who was forced to land in Jinzhou, greatly shook the "Guanning Jin Defense Line" built by the Ming army at tens of millions of silver. Although the Jingshi was captured by Li Zicheng, if it weren't for Huang Taiji's exhaustion of the elite of the Ming army, how could he enter the Central Plains with the pitiful combat effectiveness of the thieves alone?

And Huang Taiji not only has martial arts, but also cultural governance. It was under his leadership that the Manchu Qing established the state and perfected a series of systems, consolidated their rule in the Liaodong region, and resolved and bridged some of the contradictions within the Manchu aristocracy, making the Manchu power stronger and stronger. Although he was an enemy, Zhu Youzhen had to admit that Huang Taiji was the master of great talent, even more so than his father Nurhachi. But he is the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, the more eloquent and strategic he is, the greater the damage to the Chinese nation, how can Zhu Youzhen not want to get rid of him quickly?

In addition to the national and ethnic level, Zhu Youzhen and Huang Taiji also have personal enmity that does not share the sky. If Huang Taiji hadn't forced Horqin Beile Zhaisang to marry his daughter Da Yu'er to him that day, there would not have been Chongyao who was killed, and Da Yu'er obeyed his father's orders against his will to protect Zhu Youzhen. This is a great shame and heartache that Zhu Youzhen can't touch in his heart, and he can't wait to break Huang Taiji's corpse into thousands of pieces with his own hands, so as to comfort Chongyao's soul in the sky. But for Da Yu'er, there is nothing to be done...

But Huang Taiji is not so easy to assassinate. On the same day, Yan Ling explained the task to Shi Chunhu and other subordinates, and analyzed in detail: "First of all, the target is in Shenyang, Liaodong, and if we want to assassinate, we must first be able to go to Shenyang. Now that the officers and troops are retreating to Shanhaiguan, it is extremely difficult for us to sneak to Shenyang. Therefore, the Siberian Tiger is responsible for the journey from Guannai to Shenyang, and it is necessary to thoroughly understand the terrain in the shortest possible time, determine the most hidden route, and arrive in Shenyang without the Tatars knowing.

"Second, Shenyang has been occupied for a long time, and the local Han people have become accustomed to the living habits of the Tatars, and their language and clothing are different from ours. Therefore, we must learn the language of the Tartars as soon as possible, and the more similar they are, the better, so that we can have a chance to get close to blending into the 'palace'.

"Thirdly, the Tartars are very strict with strangers, and if we are found to be carrying weapons, the operation will fail. Therefore, on the surface, we will enter the city as a smuggler, and as for weapons, cold weapons must be obtained after entering the city. However, the operation cannot be controlled by cold weapons alone, and we must bring firearms with us. ”

At this time, someone interjected: "The lonely goose, a firearm like the bird gun, the body of the gun is too long, and the loading is slow, so it is not suitable for stabbing. If the target is out of the palace a lot, it is a good choice to use the Lumi Gun to snipe from a distance. However, the Lumi Gun is a bigger target than the Bird Gun, and it is even more difficult to bring into the city. Is it mainly based on grenades? ”

"Hawkeye, you're saying it well." Yan Ling, who is known as a lone wolf, said, "We don't need bird guns in this operation, we have to break up the pieces and smuggle the parts and ammunition into Shenyang, and then assemble them." The more people and the more weapons they carry, the greater the likelihood of exposure, so we need to keep the scale of this operation to less than 50 people. In addition to these two weapons, there is a new type of weapon, you see. ”

"It's a flintlock pistol!" Pseudonym Hawkeye, Zhang Fangdao, the most prestigious sniper in the Shenji Battalion in the past, said, "This guy has to be reloaded once for one shot, and he is the first to stab..."

"Take a closer look." Yan Ling smiled.

"Huh? How do you have a wheel on it? ”

"That's right! It's called the flintlock revolver, and it's the latest weapon ever developed! Yan Ling said excitedly.

It turned out that Zhu Youzhen was not satisfied with importing advanced weapons from Portugal and other Western countries, as a person who traveled through time, he knew too many modern weapons, and any time and space was put into this time and space, it was a terrifying weapon of mass destruction. It's a pity that he only knows what weapons there are, but he doesn't know how to make them, and even if he does, he can't make them with the current technology and technology. He could only settle for the next best thing and describe the styles and most basic principles of some relatively simple weapons to Wei Zhen and other weapons experts to see if they could make them.

In fact, many inventions and creations are not difficult to really make, but the most difficult thing is how to think of them. Take this flintlock revolver as an example, Zhu Youzhen just said a rough idea, Wei Zhen was like a treasure, and it only took three days to try to produce one. It is based on the existing flintlock pistol, with the ammunition reloading position changed from the muzzle to a revelator-shaped magazine. The magazine is a honeycomb type, which can be loaded with six ammunition packs at a time, and for each shot, you need to turn the magazine by hand so that the next nest is aimed at the barrel. When all the shots are complete, you can turn left out of the magazine and reload.

In fact, what Zhu Youzhen wanted to build was a modern revolver, and compared with it, the pistol produced in trial still could not fire continuously, and he had to turn it by hand. And because the production is not good enough, it is also prone to failure. Despite this, the flintlock revolver has a much faster rate of fire than a bow and arrow. Shooting an arrow requires a series of actions such as drawing the arrow, pulling the arrow and buckling the string, opening the bow and taking off the string, and no matter how skilled the archer is, it will take about five to ten seconds to shoot an arrow. As long as the flintlock revolver has good ammunition, fires one shot, flicks the wheel, and fires another shot, the gap between the two shots is only two or three seconds, and in a short period of close range, it is enough to suppress the bow and arrow in terms of rate of fire, not to mention hand-to-hand combat weapons such as swords.

Everyone was full of praise for this new weapon, but Yan Ling said: "This pistol has not been mass-produced yet, and it is difficult to say whether it can be used in this operation." But ladies and gentlemen, we have the great trust of God, and we only have one chance to act, and we can only succeed and not fail! So we're going to study the course of action to be foolproof, and now it's with me! ”
