Chapter 358: Conspiracy in the Night
The second day of arriving in Yangzhou passed like this. The Daishan army arrived in Yangzhou on October 17 www.biquge.info sent troops to attack the Qing army's camp at night and won a small victory.
This victory came so timely that it greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Yangzhou, and calmed them down a little from the panic of the arrival of the Qing troops. In history, when the Qing soldiers approached the city of Yangzhou, the whole city fell into a panic. Shi Kefa ordered several times a day, and sent people to send letters to Liu Liangzuo and others who had fled, asking them to rush back to Yangzhou to defend the city. As a result, Liu Liangzuo and others came back with the army, but did not enter Yangzhou, but turned around and joined the Qing army.
Now that the Daishan army has won a victory, Liu Liangzuo and other Ming generals who want to surrender will at least hesitate, at least there is no news of their surrender yet.
This night, the people in the city slept much more peacefully, and they were no longer frightened overnight, for fear that the Qing soldiers would kill the whole family in Yangzhou in their sleep.
However, there are still some who stay up all night. These are some smart people, some smart people who think they have seen the general trend of the world clearly. A victory for the Daishan army did not cheer them, but made them even more worried.
Located in the south of the old city of Yangzhou, the mansion of Wang Lin, a big salt merchant, the light in Wang Lin's study was on in the middle of the night, several figures were shaking on the window paper, and faint disputes continued to come out. But the people in the house were all driven away, and no one knew what was being discussed in the study.
At the third watch, the dispute in the study finally stopped, and the three men with serious faces walked out of the study, bowed to Wang Lin who was sent to the door, and then dispersed.
Wang Lin sat silently in the study for a moment, called out to a person who looked like a nursing home in the house, and whispered a few words.
After another quarter of an hour, the corner door of the back wall of the Wang family was quietly opened from the inside, and a black shadow flashed out, and after looking around, quietly touched the north city wall.
This black shadow was extremely flexible, and it seemed to be very familiar with the officers and soldiers on the city wall, and it evaded the sergeant on duty and quietly came to an unattended section of the city wall. He took a rope from his bosom, tied it to the battlement, and fell down the outer wall.
The black shadow swam across the moat and quietly walked for a while, and after making sure that the Ming army at the head of the city could not hear his footsteps, he rushed towards the north.
......
Tonight's Qing army camp is much more vigilant than yesterday, not only the number of posts has doubled, but also sent a number of mobile posts a few miles outside the camp, as long as the Ming army dares to sneak attack again, they will be detected in advance before they approach the camp, and then waiting for them will be the endless anger of the Eight Banners warriors.
Duoduo was still not at ease at this, and secretly ordered Belleborough to lead three thousand Han soldiers of the Eight Banners to ambush outside the camp gate. It's April weather, and it's not cold at night, and for the Manchurians living in the cold of the northeast, sleeping in the open air in the field is more comfortable than in a tent. Although there are many mosquitoes and flies in the wild, the mosquitoes in the south are much smaller than those in the northeast, and this little bit of sting is not worth mentioning at all.
Boro was lying in the field and was sleeping in a daze, when suddenly one of his subordinates woke him up and told him that he had caught a spy.
"It's not long before I slash it!" Boro said impatiently, turning to go back to sleep.
"Lord Belle, but that person said that if he wanted to report to Prince Yu, he said that he would offer the prince a plan to capture Yangzhou!" The way of the subordinates' grievances.
"Take Yangzhou!" Boluo suddenly woke up and turned over: "Quick, bring that person over." ”
"What's your plan? Say it! Boro looked at the emaciated Akito in front of him.
"My master has instructed that you must see Prince Yu in person before you can say it, are you Prince Yu?" The person who came said without being arrogant or humble.
"Of course I'm not," Boro said to himself, "Is there a prince who sleeps in the wilderness, isn't he sent to do such drudgery because he doesn't like Duoduo because of some trivial matter?"
"But I'm Lord Belle of the Great Qing Kingdom, and it's the same with you and me." Doro said in harmony that he had never spoken so softly in his life. As long as this Ming man says the clever plan to attack Yangzhou, he can act according to the plan, so that the great achievement of capturing Yangzhou is his own.
"That's not good, I can't say it if I don't see Prince Yu in person."
Who knew that this Han man was very tough, no matter how much Doro scolded or threatened, he just refused to say what the clever plan was. There was no way, so Doro had to send someone to send him back to the Qing army camp. He didn't want to be punished by the priests for delaying the plane.
"What the hell are you up to, tell me quickly." When Dordor was woken up from his bed, he did not get angry, but calmly looked at the Akito who had been brought to him.
"Before I say it, my master wants the prince to make a promise." The person who came made his own request.
"Oh!" Duoduo sighed, did not reply, but looked at the person in front of him with interest. Duoduo had seen many Ming people, and he had never seen anyone so calm and unafraid in front of him.
"My master wants to ask the prince to raise his noble hand and not to slaughter the people after entering Yangzhou. As long as you agree to this condition, I will tell you the plan. ”
"I agreed to this condition!" Duoduo agreed to it, as long as he could damage the Manchurian warriors less, he could agree to any conditions, as for after defeating Yangzhou? Dead people can't speak, and they don't ask themselves why they don't keep their promises.
Seeing that Duoduo agreed happily, the visitor looked at Duoduo for a while, and then raised his hand to take out a small wax pill from his hair and handed it to Duoduo.
After Dodor crushed the wax seal, he unfolded a thin sheet of paper with lines of handwriting the size of a fly's head. Although he was a Manchurian, Duoduo also knew Chinese characters. After a moment of effort, he finished reading the handwriting, and lowered his head and pondered for a while.
"Is your master sure to convince them?" Duoduo asked coldly.
"Since my master sent me, he is naturally sure."
"That's good, as long as you can get Yangzhou City, I will ensure that your master is safe, and the family business is better than before."
"What about the people of Yangzhou?" The visitor asked stubbornly.
"There are no immortals in war, but I can assure you that as long as you don't take the initiative to fight against my Eight Banners army, you won't be slaughtered."
After receiving Dord's assurance, the visitor silently saluted Dodor and turned away.
At this time, Duoduo was so excited that he couldn't sleep anymore. Unwilling to stay in the tent, Dodor turned and walked out of the tent.
Standing outside the tent and looking south, it seems that you can see the huge city wall of Yangzhou through the night.
Maybe you don't have to wait for the arrival of the red-coated cannon, Yangzhou can take it. At that time, everyone can forgive, only the Ming army that dared to attack them will be killed by all the remaining ones. No, no one can spare me, I want the people of the entire Yangzhou City to be martyred for the dead Eight Banners warriors! (To be continued.) )
