Chapter 397: Straight to the Yellow Dragon
Since the establishment of the Heaven and Earth Society, it has the strong support of Gu Zhenhua in funding, coupled with the countless hatreds of the people everywhere, as long as it moves slightly, it can form a rather terrifying force.
Of course, Li Jinao and Weng Zhongshu also keep in mind the teachings, and the main directions of their exhibition are two, on the one hand, they are storytellers, singers, wine, rice and tea shop personnel, they are at the bottom of the society, and they look very inconspicuous, but these people have a wide range of contacts and are well-informed, as long as there is any movement of the Tartars, these people can get the news in advance.
On the other hand, there are porters at the wharves, Liba at the mines, and coolies at the palaces. They are relatively well-organized, and they are bitter and bitter, and with a little guidance, they can be of use to me.
Take this time, the tunnel next to the Ganshui Bridge was dug by them in advance, and it was originally used to avoid the pursuit of the Tartars. Now with a little improvement, it has become a good place for assassination, and Xia Wanchun hit three barrels of gunpowder in the tunnel. These gunpowders are only used for ordinary firecrackers, and the power cannot be compared with particle gunpowder, but they are better than in large quantities, and they can be obtained from the hands of firecrackers, and the Tartars cannot be traced.
I've been thinking about it for so long, just for the fatal blow in front of me!
Seeing that Jilharang's horse team arrived at the Ganshui Bridge, Xia Wanchun lit the rope with his own hands, and then he ran into the hole in the ground, and fled for his life along the tunnel, just without running a few steps. I felt the ground shake under my feet, and the earth crackled on the tunnel.
Xia Wanchun was shaken and fell, his head hit the stone, and blood flowed out immediately. He didn't care about this, and used both hands and feet. Run away with all your might, but don't be buried alive underneath!
This is the case under the tunnels, and the Ganshui Bridge is even more lively. Xia Wanchun lit the fire a little late. Zilharang had already crossed the Ganshui Bridge before the explosion rang out behind him.
As if it was an earthquake, a thick flame poured out from the ground, and the five or six goshkha on it were directly blown away, and before they could fall to the ground, they were already out of gas.
The Tartars next to them were also affected and fell to the ground one after another. A howl of pain.
Zilharang had fought on the battlefield and was very clever, and he felt that something was wrong. Urging the horse violently, he jumped forward, finally avoiding the mortal danger. But a blasted stone hit Zilharang's back.
This guy just felt that his eyes were full of Venus, and he had a mouth. Blood spurted out. Zilharang was calm. Gritting his teeth, he desperately urged the horse to escape. As a result, the trouble lies in the war horse, which has just been transported from Mongolia, and although it is strong, it is still a bit wild, especially not able to withstand the explosion.
The war horse suddenly jumped up, up and down, and shook hard. Zilharang was dizzy and lost his ability to control it. He was thrown to the ground by a war horse.
The horse neighed and ran forward, only to see its hind hooves between Zilharang's legs. There is a ring of horseshoe on the horse's hooves, which can even be broken by stones, and the consequences can be imagined when stepping on the most vulnerable places of flesh and blood.
Zilharang let out a terrible ghostly cry, and then fainted in pain. The coated minions crawled out of the pool of blood, and when they saw that their master's face was green, they were also frightened.
"Quick, go to the imperial doctor, hurry up and save the prince, savior the master!"
Prince Zheng Jierharang was originally ordered to rectify the situation in the capital and defend against foreign enemies, but he had just left the palace, and before he could show his skills, he was assassinated, and his life and death were uncertain.
As the so-called house leak happened to rain overnight, Zilharang fell, and the Tartars in the city were like mourners, all of them were sad and sad, and they were even more uncomfortable than their dead father, half of them cried Jilharang, and the other half was worried about themselves.
With this loud noise, the people of the capital, especially the Han people who were driven to the southern city, quickly got the news. The anger that had been suppressed for a long time was finally released, and they gathered in the small courtyard in twos and threes, constantly passing the good news to the neighbors.
"It's almost over, the Tartars are almost finished!"
"When you blow up that bullshit regent, the world will be peaceful!"
"Yes, yes, people say that the people in our capital are cowardly, but the previous assassination of Prince Yu Duoduo, and now the assassination of Prince Zheng, the Iron Hat King, what a great ability!"
……
The fastest spreading thing in the world is not light, but rumors!
Don't look at the Manchu Qing after the incident, desperately bombing, but still can't resist, more and more people know the news, everyone secretly applauds, some men even put shovels and hoes on the side of the kang, just waiting for the Ming army to come back, they rush out to take revenge.
The capital is in chaos, and other places are not peaceful. In Tongzhou, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, after hearing that An ** had captured Tianjin, the city immediately strengthened its vigilance, and the four gates were closed, and no one was allowed to go out.
It was Tuhai who was stationed in Tongzhou, who was very famous in later generations and was a rare civil and military talent among the Tartars. He was just a pen post half a year ago, following Shunzhi's side. However, with the loss of a large number of Manchu generals, the young Tuhai was promoted to the rank of cavalry captain, and immediately led troops to guard the gate of the capital.
Tu Hai is young, and it is the time to be ambitious. He heard about the fall of Tianjin, and he was not afraid at all. The whole city was ordered to be under martial law, and all the soldiers were divided into two groups to go to the city to defend against the enemy.
Moreover, Tuhai personally led the men and horses to the homes of the rich families in the city, asked them to contribute grain and rice, and dispatched their families to help defend the city. These are all very correct and very effective.
It's just that Tuhai, who is young and impatient, and has a sincere heart for meritorious service, made a fatal mistake.
Tongzhou is not compared to other places, this is the northern terminus of the Grand Canal, when the original Cao Yun was prosperous, merchants gathered here, and the Cao Gang also had a huge force here.
Now that the Cao Gang has been cut off, although most of the people of the Cao Gang are gone, a considerable number of people are still left. Tu Hai's subordinates happened to search the Hu family's compound, and the old owner of this family, Hu Jiuzhou, was the patriarch of the Cao Gang, and his seniority was extremely high.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my lord has been in poor health since the beginning of winter, and now he is getting sicker and worse, please forgive me one or two."
The red-faced Tartar sneered, "Hmph, just a Han dog, they are all thieves, and they dare to play music with us, do you know whose world this is!" Get out of the way, let's get inside! ”
At this time, Hu Jiuzhou's son Hu Dade hurried over and bowed to a few Tartars.
"Master Jun, our family is willing to offer five hundred taels of silver and ten loads of grain, and please accept it with a smile!"
"Hahaha, the one who asks for food! With such a big yard and no five thousand taels of silver, don't even think about passing the test! The Tartar said and rushed inside, Hu Dade tried his best to stop it, but he couldn't stop it.
After entering, they looked around, and saw that there were swords and guns on both sides of the flat courtyard, on which were placed knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, and a lot of stone locks!
The leading Tartar sneered: "Okay, no wonder you dare not let us in, and dare to hide weapons, it's just bold!" ”
"Master Jun, this is all a showmanship, it's all a show, don't get me wrong!"
The Tartar rushed to the front, grabbed the machete, and suddenly slammed it right on the chest of a family member, blood splattered, and the family rolled their eyes and fell to the ground!
"Hahaha, is this called a flower shelf, you are thieves who conspire against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, hurry up and talk to Lao Tzu and General Tu!"
The Tartars rushed up to arrest people, and at this time, there were dozens of apprentices of Old Man Hu in the main hall, and these Jianghu people were not good-tempered, they rushed out one after another, and some simply raised their knives and guns.
"Don't kill people too much, and don't be too presumptuous. The entrance of our Cao Gang has been there since the time of Yongle, for hundreds of years, I haven't seen any wind and waves, don't deceive people too much! ”
The leading Tartar monster's eyes widened, and he sneered: "Cao Gang, such a big name, it's a pity, I just don't care!" ”
The Tartar waved his machete as he spoke, and the other Tartars also showed their weapons and moved together. Can the people who fight on the battlefield be the same as ordinary people in the rivers and lakes!
Several members of the Cao Gang are usually seven dissatisfied and eight are not angry, but when they really started, they were killed and injured in a few rounds. Tartar rushed directly to the main hall, at this time, the old man of Hu Jiuzhou, with the support of his grandson and the doctor, was about to come out to take a look, and collided with Tartar head-on. Tartar was unceremoniously pushed Hu Jiuzhou's chest.
The old man was originally the foundation of asthma, and in winter, he was exhausted for breathing, and he used ginseng to save his life in the past few days, where could he withstand such a push. The old man was on his back and fell to the ground, unable to breathe, and with a roll of his eyes, he died on the spot.
Tartar didn't know, this time he could stab the hornet's nest, and when the Cao gang people in the Hu family's compound saw that the ancestor was killed, no one could stand it, and Hu Dade's eyes were even more wide-split.
"Brothers, fight with the Tartars!"
These Cao Gang members scattered and fled, gathering their subordinates and others, and the Cao Gang had nothing else, but there were many people, and thousands of people were in chaos in an instant.
They shouted everywhere: "The Ming army is coming, and the dog Tartars are going to be finished!" ”
"Hurry up and come out, kill the Tartars and make meritorious contributions!"
The common people did not know the truth, and when they heard this, their anger finally had a channel to vent, and they also rushed out one after another and participated in the attack on the Tartars.
6 After Mingyue captured Tianjin, he immediately led his men and horses to attack the capital. She didn't expect to take the capital, but she just wanted to create chaos and force the Tartars to shrink their forces!
The places that An** passed along the way were smoother than expected, and the local people ate pots of wine to welcome the king. Some of the state and county Tartars were already frightened and fled, and the local gentry invited An ** to station.
Of course, 6 Mingyue knows very well that these are temporary, after all, An **'s troops are not enough this time, and if he wants to recover Gyeonggi, I'm afraid he will have to wait for a while.
Just as they were rushing into the army, someone suddenly found An ** in a hurry.
"The villain's name is Weng Zhongshu, and there are happy events in the world!"
6 Mingyue asked Weng Zhongshu to come over, and asked with a frown, "Who are you?" What's the matter? ”
"Ah, Qiyu, this female general, Ji'er Harang was assassinated, life and death are uncertain, the Tongzhou Cao Gang has revolted, the Tartars have become a mess, the opportunity must not be missed, and please ask Wang Shi to attack the capital immediately!" (To be continued......)
