Li Yunzhong still had a little impression of Zhao Laoqi, "Zhao Laoqi? Aren't you Zhao Laoqi who participated in the worship of God in Pingnan County! How are you a regimental commander now? I remember that you were promoted to deputy battalion commander in Yong'an. ”

Zhao Laoqi stood up and said excitedly: "It is the last general, the last general fell off his horse and suffered internal injuries when he attacked Hunan Daozhou, and he has been healing in the female army, and he only recovered when he arrived in Nanjing, I didn't expect His Highness to remember the last general!" The last general is really ashamed. ”

Li Yunzhong said: "You collected all the information about Shanghai?" ”

"Yes, the last general personally rushed to Shanghai County to find out, and the last general also talked to Zhou Lichun, Liu Lichuan and others in detail! They all had some concerns, and the last general didn't dare to promise them anything! ”

Li Yunzhong became happy, he always wanted to establish an intelligence department, but he didn't find the right person, it was really effortless to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to go, thinking that the less people knew about this matter, the better, and planned to wait until the meeting was over and talk to him in detail alone, "You are still too honest, so let's do it, if there are similar things in the future, you can promise the conditions that make them happy, as long as they make a big enough contribution!" ”

Zhao Laoqi said: "Yes, the last general will contact them later, and let them make meritorious contributions to His Highness." ”

Li Xiucheng saw that King Han had finished asking, and then said: "If there is the support of the party members, it will be much easier to attack Shanghai, and the most important thing we should pay attention to is to guard against the support of the Qing army from the direction of Jiaxing and Hangzhou when attacking Shanghai." ”

Meng Sheng looked at the sand table, pointed to Huating County and Lou County: "These two counties are the necessary places for the Qing army to support, as long as these two counties are held, Shanghai is in our pocket." ”

Meng Sheng, Li Xiucheng and other generals all held their breath and looked like Li Yunzhong, waiting for the most important instructions.

Li Yunzhong thought about it and said: "Just like that, capture Kunshan County, march in two ways, all the way to Jiading County, all the way to Qingpu County, the two armies converge in Shanghai County, and the first division is equipped with a battalion of musket teams and 20 artillery pieces to capture Huating County and defend on the spot to block the Qing army in the direction of Jiaxing." ”

Everyone stood up and shouted: "Obey"

Li Yunzhong left Zhao Laoqi alone, "I plan to establish a CIA, and you will be responsible for collecting intelligence, buying local generals and other tasks in the future, I will give you 100,000 taels of start-up funds, remember, what I want is an institution that can do things like the Jinyi Wei of the Ming Dynasty, of course, you can't spy on generals above the military level!" I'll give you a thousand first, and you can choose whatever you want in the army. ”

Zhao Laoqi touched his head and said embarrassedly: "Your Highness, what is this brocade guard?" The last general has never heard of it! ”

Li Yunzhong was speechless, thought for a while, and said: "Jin Yiwei has never heard of it, Dongchang has always heard of it, you are equivalent to the Changdu of Dongchang, that is, people like Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian!" ”

That's not to let himself be a eunuch, Zhao Laoqi subconsciously covered his crotch, for a reason: "Your Highness, this is not very good, the last general has been married for less than half a year, has only one daughter, and has not yet inherited the ancestors from generation to generation, this eunuch can never do it, the last general should concentrate on fighting." ”

Li Yunzhong was angry, "When did I let you be a eunuch, I mean your powers and functions are similar to those of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, but you don't have to castrate yourself, just collect intelligence for me." ”

Zhao Laoqi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Highness Xie, the last general will go back and ask what Jinyiwei does!" Never live up to the trust of His Highness. ”

Li Yunzhong is now a little skeptical of his vision, and he doesn't know if Zhao Laoqi can establish an intelligence department, so he said earnestly: "Your task is very important, and it depends on you whether our army can win a hundred battles in the future." ”

Zhao Laoqi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the last general will definitely establish the CIA, and this Shanghai is its first battle." ”

"Well, you are now the head of the regiment, Wupin, and I now appoint you as the director of the Intelligence Bureau, with the same position as the division commander, Sipin."

Zhao Laoqi bowed down and said: "Your Highness Xie cultivates, and the last general will definitely do his best to do things for His Highness." ”

Kunshan County, Zhang Yuliang looked at the short-haired army under the city ready to attack the city, dizzy for a moment, I don't know how long Kunshan can withstand it, remembering Zhang Junmen's confession that he must defend the 10 days, his heart suddenly became nervous, this short-haired siege has always been as fast as the wind, aggression is like fire, if the city is held under the first wave of short-haired siege, the pressure of defending the city will be reduced a lot in the future, thinking of this, Zhang Yuliang turned to the side and shouted: "Brothers, listen, kill a thief and reward 3 taels of silver, and each person who guards the city will be rewarded with 2 taels of silver." ”

The soldiers defending the city let out a weak cheer, which made Zhang Yuliang very embarrassed, could it be that there were fewer silver-haired rewards?

In Kunshan City, on a corner not far from the city gate, about 300 people lay in a row, silent.

"Big brother, it's less than a moment before noon, is there really a large army outside the city to pick up?" asked a man in a 'brave' uniform to the person who looked like an official next to him.

The official whispered: "Of course, the fourth child left the city in the morning, and now he should also contact Shorthair, besides, don't you see the nervous look of arrows and crossbows on the city wall!" ”

His name is Zheng Damao, four brothers, in turn two Mao, three Mao, Xiao Mao, originally a gangster in the countryside, heard that Kunshan can be a soldier to eat food, each person has a tael of settlement expenses, so he took his brothers and rural idlers to Kunshan to join the army, was Zhang Yuliang in the Yongying as a small leader, I heard that Shorthair is going to attack Kunshan, because this year in the countryside heard a lot of Shorthair defeated the official army's deeds, doubts, a few brothers discussed, they had the idea of Kunshan as a name to Shorthair, maybe they can seek an official and a half-job, glorify the township.

"I wonder what benefits short hair can give us? I heard that the official who guards the city is called Zhang Yuliang, and he has a deep hatred with Shorthair, and if Shorthair kills him this time, he must be very happy! A soldier standing in front of the official bravely turned around.

The official covered his mouth and reprimanded: "Third brother, you shut up for me, your voice is so loud, what should I do if you want to recruit people?" The three of us brothers are all going to be here! ”

"Big brother, it's noon," Zheng Ermao pulled Zheng Damao's clothes and reminded in a whisper.

The official looked up at the sun and made sure that he had made sure again, took a few deep breaths, and shouted: "Brothers, open the city gate to enjoy a hundred acres of land, a hundred taels of silver, rush!" ”

…………

Li Chunfa looked at the person next to him who claimed to be Zheng Xiaomao, considering whether his words could be trusted, "It's noon now, why hasn't there been any movement in the city!" ”

"It's open, it's open...... The gates are open, General! ......" Zheng Xiaomao excitedly pointed to the slowly opening city gate and shouted to Li Chunfa.

Li Chunfa promised Zheng Xiaomao, who was jumping and jumping: "There are many rewards for capturing Kunshan!" After speaking, he waved his hand to the broadsword team behind him, and the Han army rushed forward with a roar.

Zhang Yuliang couldn't believe what his ears heard, "What are you talking about, the city and the countryside are brave and rebellious!" The gates were also opened! Why don't you stop them? He whispered to himself, "How can I explain to Zhang Junmen!" I have been preparing for a month, but I haven't even held a day! I might as well be dead. ”

The gatekeeper cried and persuaded, "My lord, let's run away quickly!" It's too late, you see, the shorthair under the city has already begun to enter the city! ”

Zhang Yuliang drew his sword and stabbed him to death, looked around at the frightened soldiers around him, and said expressionlessly: "If you dare to run away, you will be killed!" Let me go down and drive Shorthair out of town!" ”

"Yes, let's go......" The people around seemed to be frightened, and pushed and shoved down the city wall in twos and threes.
