Chapter 620: Into the City, Into the City
When He Tengjiao reacted, he sincerely convinced Li Xinxin, and secretly said that this person was really a genius who marched and fought in battle. It is said that the soldiers are brave, seeing that these soldiers of the Three Guards rushed to the east gate regardless of life and death, and the defenders of the city seemed to have some, or boasted that the city was high and strong, seeing that they had no siege equipment, in short, they did not attack, and finally the soldiers of the Three Guards rushed to the city gate in one breath.
Immediately afterwards, He Tengjiao saw that these soldiers of the three guards who risked life and death and rushed to the East City Gate in one breath raised their shovels and pickaxes on their backs, and dug deep and hard under the East City Gate. This bewildered him, wondering what these people were doing, and whether they could dig into the city with only shovels and pickaxes? Immediately, I saw the soldiers of the Three Guards put the bags of things they were carrying into the deep pit they were digging, and then found nearby boulders and buried them together with the soil.
These movements are carried out smoothly, as if a seasoned farmer is tending to the crops, whether it is digging a pit or moving a boulder to bury the soil, they all cooperate seamlessly. After only a moment's effort, I saw all the soldiers of the Three Guards hula and dodge towards both sides of the city gate. At the same time, He Tengjiao found that another soldier was bent on his waist, and seemed to be holding a long rope and retreating, so he was even more confused.
Finally, someone lit the torch and stabbed it into the rope, only to see the sparks fluttering. He Tengjiao finally understood that this was actually gunpowder buried under the East City Gate. In the blink of an eye, He Tengjiao only felt that the ground under his feet shook violently, and then there was a muffled thunder explosion. When he looked at the east gate of Fengyang again, he couldn't even see it, his eyes were full of raised dust and gunsmoke, and he could only see the brave figures of the three guards, rushing into the clouds of dust and smoke one after another.
Fengyang City is broken... He Tengjiao's heart felt a little unbelievable for this idea. It was only two quarters of an hour before and after, could it be that Fengyang City, which was high and deep, was easily breached? As the three guard sergeants continued to rush into the clouds of dust and smoke, he finally confirmed that Fengyang City was indeed broken.
He Tengjiao glanced at Li Xin, who was still silent in front of him, and couldn't help but feel surprised in his heart, and finally couldn't help but ask: "But the Marquis of Zhenyu has already had these plans?" Why don't you say it earlier, the lower officials who are harmed are really worried..."
Unexpectedly, Li Xin's voice was full of chills, and he didn't answer and asked: "As soon as this city gate is broken, it will be a complicity... Isn't He Bingxian afraid of being implicated by Li Xin and punishing the Nine Clans? β
He Tengjiao has always been decisive and open-minded, since he has already had a plan, he will not repeatedly entangle and worry about these things, he snorted and laughed.
"The marquis of Zhenyu is a good mother-in-law and mother-in-law, if the lower officials are afraid, how can they stay? Besides, if the Marquis of Zhenyu enters Fengyang City without injuring a single soldier, it can only be said that he has entered, right? Otherwise, even if Zhu Dadian sued him, such unbelievable words, outsiders would only think that he was hysterical and talking in his dreams..."
Saying that, He Tengjiao bowed to Li Xin, "The Zhenyu Hou is wise and brave, looking at me, the Ming can be the right ...... that no one can come out of."
Listening to He Tengjiao's beautiful words, Li Xinli was also ashamed, if he said that he had already made a bamboo in his chest before he made up his mind, it would be an exaggeration. To tell the truth, the decision to attack the city and save Lu Jiu was also made in a hurry, as for the rush to plant explosives, whether the bombing of the city gate can work, he did not dare to pack a ticket 100%, after all, Fengyang City, as the central capital of the Ming Dynasty, is by no means comparable to ordinary small cities in terms of quality and scale of construction.
Actually, what Li Xin didn't know was that he was indeed lucky this time. If it was in Fengyang City before the first month of the eighth year of Chongzhen, the Three Guards would never be able to blow up this bit of explosives. After Zhang Xianzhong broke Fengyang, the four gates of Fengyang City were all damaged by different Cheng DΓΉ, especially the two gates in the northeast. After that, in the ninth year of Chongzhen and the tenth year of Chongzhen, the Fengyang city wall was rebuilt, but the local officials deducted the project money and cut corners, but they did not want to get retribution at this time. And the initiator is Zhu Dadian, who has been the governor of Fengyang since the ninth year of Chongzhen...
"He Bingxian, how about you and I go into the city together?"
He Tengjiao laughed and nodded happily in agreement. To be honest, He Tengjiao was a participant in the whole process of this incident, and even knew more information than Li Xin. He always felt that it was a little strange to be drunk last night, and He Yilong frequently persuaded him and Lu Jiu to drink, and finally he was drunk and unconscious at the wine table, presumably Lu Jiu should be the same. Wrong... He Tengjiao's heart suddenly became much clearer, and he clearly remembered that he had seen Lu Jiu drunk several times in a drowsy state, and he had involuntarily slipped down on the wine table, and it was He Yilong who pulled him out of the table several times.
It stands to reason that even if you get drunk with your own amount of alcohol, you will never get drunk to the point of being unconscious. In any case, after he and Lu Jiu got drunk, the only person who could move freely was He Yilong, if he made a move, wouldn't it be easy?
This question slowly fermented in He Tengjiao's heart like dough, getting bigger and bigger, but at this time, he couldn't care about these many things without evidence, anyway, Fengyang City was broken, and when Li Xin captured that He Yilong, he would never be merciful to him. As for how to explain this matter to the imperial court, when Li Xin broke through the Fengyang City Gate without injuring a single soldier on both sides, he already had a draft...
As soon as he thought of this, He Tengjiao didn't hesitate anymore, and followed Li Xin into Fengyang City. The will to fight of the defenders of Fengyang City was not strong, until the East City Gate was blown out, and the morale fell to the lowest point, and the senior generals in charge of the command disappeared at this time, and there were rumors that the governor was fleeing, and many people directly put down their weapons and gave up resistance, anyway, the other party was also an official army, and their own governors ran away, so they still resisted stupidly?
As a result, from the moment the Three Guards entered the city, it took almost less than half an hour to subdue most of the defenders in the city, and the entire Fengyang City fell into the control of the Three Guards. The first thing the Three Guards did after entering the city was to search and rescue Lu Jiu, and finally found him in the prison of the government office, but when they saw people, they had half their lives left. But seeing that Lu Jiu was covered with scars, and the skin was beaten, and the soldiers who watched couldn't help crying.
At this point, someone gritted his teeth and wanted to avenge Lu Jiu, and then the big guy remembered to search for the evil culprit, Zhu Dadian, the governor of Fengyang, who would have thought that this person could not be found anywhere.
An hour later, the Three Guards quelled the chaos in the city, Li Xin ordered Zhu Dadian and He Yilong, these two people are the most important figures this time, especially Zhu Dadian himself, if he is allowed to run, he will sue the case first, but I am afraid that it will take some trouble...
In the end, most of the civil and military officials in the city were summoned to the governor's office, and they saw everyone standing in the main hall with their heads hung down as if they were lambs to be slaughtered. Some people couldn't help but sigh when they saw this scene, just a few hours ago, they were happily discussing how to deal with Lu Jiu, but they didn't expect that the world would change so quickly that it was a blink of an eye.
A stubborn official bluntly asked: "As a general of the imperial court, how can the Marquis of Zhenyu behave like this, how can he be worthy of the Holy Grace?" β
Li Xin laughed at this and replied: "You are still implicated by He Yilong, the fleeing thief of the fifth battalion of the left battalion, I still don't know, how sad it is..."
The victory of the Three Guards was almost bloodless and controlled Fengyang City, and Li Xin was the emperor's own marquis, and after entering the city, he did not commit any crimes, although he had different hostility towards him, but he always characterized them as internal contradictions, and heard him mention that He Yilong was the head of the escaped thieves of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution, and some people were immediately shocked.
"What? This person is the head of the fifth battalion of the Revolution? β
Li Xin pursed his lips and replied mockingly: "Don't you know the names of the five leaders of the five battalions of the Revolution? He Yilong is among them, if he doesn't know, it's really pathetic..."His words were extremely sarcastic, which made some officials in the main hall blush.
"Could it be, could it be that these things were all caused by He Yilong?"
An official asked in a lost voice after listening to Li Xin's statement. He Tengjiao's heart suddenly jumped when he heard this, so he coughed and replied: "General Lu and I were all drunk by He Yilong that day, and seven or eight out of ten of the tragedy of the general was done by this person, otherwise it would be very unreasonable to use General Lu as a human being..."
Li Xin laughed at this and replied: "You are still implicated by He Yilong, the fleeing thief of the fifth battalion of the left battalion, I still don't know, how sad it is..."
