Chapter 304: I Like the Fourth Column Too

Wang Deyong continued to launch harassing attacks around Yanqing Prefecture, and although these attacks were like itching, they did not give the Qing troops stationed on the Great Wall a moment of unpeace.

Tianjin is the same situation, however, it is somewhat different from the soldiers led by Wang Deyong on the front line of Yanqing, the Qing army is cowering in the city, and Zhou Huchen and Huang Degong's men have been showing off their might under the Tianjin Three Acropolis. The soldiers even tried to use mortars to hit the city a few times. Due to Zhou Huchen's advice, these attacks with ulterior motives were all stopped in moderation, which was completely equivalent to not letting the Qing army be peaceful.

Zhou Huchen's giant cannon had actually arrived in Jinghai County, but Zhou Huchen didn't let his artillery carry out a real attack, and it was very simple to take Tianjin, but for the sake of tactics, Zhou Huchen suppressed the impatience of Meng Yun and Zhou Qian, because the two always wanted to collapse the city wall of Tianjin.

Bazhou.

From time to time in the long wilderness, the shadow of the Ming army scouts appeared, although the Ming army did not attack, the white hair stubble on the head of Jilharang in Bazhou increased a lot, and even the pig's tail, which was not as thin as the little finger, was much whiter.

The royal family affection is like that, Zierharang is not sorry for the death of Bo He, the general of the royal family, but for the loss of the cavalry, Zhou Huchen's artillery fire and cavalry assault made the cavalry of the Eight Banners lose too much, so that the cavalry of the entire Bazhou and Tianjin Liliang weakened by a whole level. It can be said that the cavalry Liliang, who was originally in the upper hand, is now gone. Of course, this is not all, Zilharang knew that Tianjin could not be defended, but the threat of the Ming army to the northern capital made the Qing army have to defend Tianjin, and the Zhou and Huang coalition forces delayed taking Tianjin, which was undoubtedly equivalent to the obvious dispersion of the Ming army to their own military liliang.

Don't dare to reinforce Tianjin Zierharang again, what should I do if the Zhou-Huang coalition army attacks Bazhou? Losing Bazhou is equivalent to putting the Ming army under the city of Beijing, and Zilharang does not have such guts.

The news from Yanqing Prefecture made Jilharang even more worried, the long inner Great Wall defense line could not be let go no matter what, but where were the soldiers guarding the long defense line? Although a small number of strong men were added to the army, but. Except for those Ding Zhuang who came from outside the Guan, can these troops rest assured? Do they have combat effectiveness?

This was undoubtedly a desperate situation, as the regent of the Qing Dynasty, Zilharang repeatedly wanted to propose to Dorgon to withdraw from the Guanwai, but after thinking about it, Zilharang finally did not have the courage to make this suggestion. Zilharang, who survived on prudence, did not dare to mention it, because he could not afford this responsibility. Once retreated to the outside of the pass, would the Ming army let the Qing Dynasty go? Obviously, Zhou Huchen will definitely not let go, and Zierharang knows it very well. Even if the Ming court wants to let go of the Qing Dynasty, I'm afraid Zhou Huchen won't agree. What a situation of falling apart! Could it be that the end of the Great Qing Kingdom has arrived?

Tianjin.

The siege of the Ming army made the Qing army in the entire city of Tianjin cloudy, not besieged but not attacked, it was the Ming army deliberately showing off its might, not that the Ming army could not take Tianjin, but was teasing. The Ming army seemed to be waiting for the opportunity to encircle and send reinforcements, and after the cavalry defeat not long ago, no reinforcements arrived, and as time continued. Everyone knew that there would be no reinforcements in Tianjin, which made the entire defenders of Tianjin desperate.

There is a governor's palace in Tianjin, and this governor's palace lives the governor of Tianjin, and the governor of Tianjin in the Qing Dynasty, Luo Yangxing.

Luo Yangxing was once the commander of the Jinyi Guard of the Chongzhen Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty. That is, Jinyiwei is commonly known as the capital hall. Jinyiwei is the emperor's direct jurisdiction of Liliang, as a hereditary Jinyiwei high-ranking official, as the supreme commander of the Chongzhen Emperor's direct jurisdiction of Liliang, Luo Yangxing is very incompetent. is also very cowardly, and lacks the character of an official. Because Luo Yangxing had already surrendered twice, Li Zicheng entered Beijing. Luo Yangxing bought a life with tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the people of Jianzhou entered Beijing Luo Yangxing became more straightforward, he directly lowered, lowered more thoroughly, and mixed with a Tianjin governor.

The current governor of Tianjin, Luo Yangxing, can be said to be restless, because he and his whole family are facing a life-and-death choice. Moreover, if the Ming army wins, he will definitely be stinking for 10,000 years, which will be a shame that can never be washed away, and history will always define Luo Yangxing as a traitor. Luo Yangxing understands the current situation, and it is not far off for him to become a big traitor who will always turn his back on his ancestors and the country.

Just when Luo Yangxing was restless in his back house because of the war situation, a subordinate came to pass the word, and Luo An asked to see him.

Luo An is a subordinate of Luo Yangxing three years ago, he is very shrewd, and he is at ease in doing things, and now he is responsible for Luo Yangxing's land lease and other matters, and belongs to the steward of a foreign house. At this time, I came to ask to see, where was Luo Yangxing in the mood to see him.

"Just say what I said, let him handle anything by himself!"

The subordinate went out to spread the word, but soon after, the subordinate ran back again: "Master, Luo An said that this matter cannot be done unless the lord does it." ”

"Then let him come to me." Luo Yangxing was really in a bad mood, he sighed, how could he have the heart to take care of the trivial matters at home.

Luo An is in his thirties, his appearance is not amazing, he has always been respectful and diligent in his work, and he is not greedy, which is also the reason why Luo Yang appointed him.

Today's Luo An was very surprising to Luo Yang, Luo An who entered the door did not kneel down to ask for peace according to the previous respectful attitude, nor did he have the previous attitude of low eyebrows and pleasing to the eyes, Luo Yang clearly saw the sharp light in his eyes.

"Lord Luo, Luo An's nature is Zhou, his name is Zhou Wanshun, and he is the cousin of Chaohe Zhou Wanjiang."

Luo An's words came out, and Luo Yangxing was stunned.

As the former leader of Jinyiwei, Chaohe Zhou Wanjiang is very clear, Zhou Wanjiang's original surname is Tian, called Tian Wanjiang, Tian Wanjiang used to be a horse thief who resounded through the Miyun guard, he was not a horse in Daming, but in the grassland, that is, outside the Great Wall, the territory of Duoyan Sanwei robbed the Mongols. In the past, Tian Wanjiang was famous throughout the entire area of the Northern Great Wall, leading hundreds of his brothers to become famous for their ferocious killings. Later, Zhou Yuji served as a guerrilla patrol of the Great Wall in Beijing, Tian Wanjiang met Zhou Yuji, although Tian Wanjiang did not loot in the Ming Dynasty, but he was still a thief, this identity could not be shaken off, the official and the thief were not separated, as a guerrilla in Beijing, of course Zhou Yuji would not keep Tian Wanjiang this trouble. Tian Wanjiang was naturally not convinced by Zhou Yuji, who was mediocre at that time, but after a contact, Tian Wanjiang was beaten by the cavalry led by Zhou Yuji, and was chased far beyond the Great Wall.

Tian Wanjiang was subdued by Zhou Yuji in this way, and later became the head of Zhou Yuji's family and changed his surname to Zhou.

Luo Yangxing understood, this Zhou Wanshun is a fine work, he has been lurking by his side, Zhou Wanshun named Luo An was originally a horse thief who used to dominate the three guards, he was a subordinate of Zhou Yuji's father and son.

"It was Zhou Huchen who asked you to take the old man's life, right? If this is the case, Luo Zhou Zhuangshi, please do it, I Luo Yangxing knows that I should die, I am ashamed of the Ming Dynasty, I am ashamed of the first emperor, and I am ashamed of my ancestors, I have nothing to say about dying in the hands of the world-famous Zhou Huchen! ”

Now, there are only two people in the house, an old man who is dying and old, and a subordinate who is not amazing, but Luo Yangxing understands Zhou Wanshun's toughness, as long as Zhou Wanshun stretches out his hand, he will die and can't die anymore.

"I just passed on some words for my young marshal, my young marshal said, Qing can change his surname to Ming, as long as the old man washes his heart, my young marshal admits that the old man has repeatedly corresponded with my young marshal and has been informing me of the news of Jiannu, what does the old man think?!" In the face of the decadent Luo Yang, Zhou Wanshun said coldly.

Luo Yangxing was stunned again, where else is there? Zhou Huchen undoubtedly brought him a huge surprise, this opportunity to be removed from the traitor spectrum Luo Yangxing has been waiting for too long, and Luo Yangxing has dreamed that Zhou Huchen sent someone to deliver a message to him for a long time.

After the shock, he was a little helpless, because Luo Yangxing had few people in his hands, and he only had more than 100 people in his hands, and there were few people who could fight, and these people were undoubtedly the difference between rats and elephants for the Qing army's troops in Tianjin, and Luo Yangxing was very worried.

"The old man is grateful for Dong Changbo's love, but Jiannu is staring very closely, it is difficult for the old man to make a big difference, I am afraid that the old man will disappoint Dong Changbo!"

Zhou Wanshun finally showed a smile: "My young marshal said, if you don't take Tianjin this winter, the boss just needs to let his subordinates be cautious and slowly approach those officers who are newly attached to the Han army, and my young marshal will arrange the rest." In the spring of next year, when the young marshal of my family takes Tianjin, let these people respond, as long as Tianjin is relaxed, the young marshal will let people send the communication between the boss and the young marshal of my family. ”

Zhou Huchen, who has always been ruthless, did a very kind job this time, not that he couldn't take Tianjin, but to adopt heart-to-heart tactics to take Tianjin lightly, to put it bluntly, what Zhou Huchen needed was the people's hearts and minds to the Ming Dynasty's Tianjin, not a Tianjin that had been ravaged and trampled by the war. Luo Yangxing also let know that Zhou Huchen is a person who promises a thousand gold, and it is already a big face to be able to fake him, since Zhou Huchen said that he would do it, tears were bursting, and Luo Yangxing let out a long breath.

Shu Chang, extremely comfortable, his brows expanded, and Luo Yangxing bowed his hand to Zhou Wanshun: "The old man is ashamed!" Please Zhou Zhuangshi to know Uncle Dongchang, the old man's subordinates know how to do it, those generals are still more familiar, although the construction of slave defense is a little tight, but there are always loopholes to be found, please rest assured, the subordinates will not let the uncle down! ”

Doesn't Jiannu like to use the fourth column! Zhou Huchen also likes to open the enemy's city gates inside, and Zhou Huchen is confident that he is even better than Jiannu. Luo Yangxing is just one example, who knows how many of the other generals of the new Han army in Tianjin received Zhou Huchen's promise. But Luo Yangxing knows one thing, Zhou Huchen's Jihua has been launched, once this huge Han army is broken inside, what battle does Tianjin still need?

The role of a spy is very strong, Zhou Huchen can do it, and he does it well. This Tianjin is not the first, Yanqing Prefecture will also do it, Baoding will do it, Bazhou will do it, Beijing City was Zhou Huchen's lair, who will believe it if there is no one in the city. There is also the huge propaganda of public opinion, Zhou Huchen believes that since they can be used by foreign races, those who surrender will not mind being used again by their former mother country, as long as the conditions given are sufficient. What's more, how many of these people are sincere and willing to contribute to the rule of the alien race, taking advantage of the situation, Zhou Huchen believes that these people will return to the embrace of Huaxia, and it is not difficult to break through the inside of Jiannu.
