This person holding the waist card of "Aiding the Water Master Qianzong Li" is, of course, Wang Zhongxiao, who is alias Li Zhongshan, and the beauty holding him is Yang Xiaohuan.

Wang Zhongxiao (Li Zhongshan) was at this time with Chen Yonghua, Chang Mingyue, the third prince Zhu, and the third prince Zhu's concubine, Yang Ziyun, who was also from the Yang family (Yang Qilong's family) in Tianjin, escorting a boatload full of straight grooved rifled flintlock pistols and smoothbore flintlock pistols and a considerable amount of ammunition, ready to be sent to the Xiaolingwei camp.

The five elite infantry troops led by He Tianran, Yu Haitao, Wang Leiyong, Zhang Twenty-one, Zheng Desheng and others have already disguised themselves as five counties under Jiangning Mansion to recruit regiments, and under the cover of Lu Sanhao and others, they infiltrated the Xiaolingwei camp in advance.

Now just wait for Wang Zhongxiao to deliver the guns and ammunition, and then they can make trouble in Jiangning City!

However, it was not easy to transport a whole shipload of munitions to the Xiaolingwei camp, and it was necessary to pass through several passes, not to mention the canal from Ningbo to Zhenjiang - there were several customs to pass along the way! Fortunately, Chen Yonghua himself is the chief soldier of Shuishi Town, and no one dares to check his goods at these passes, so what can he do? Is there anything wrong with the guns he bought from Yangyi as a general soldier to train the Liangjiang Governor's regiment?

But this excuse is not good in Jiangning City, don't look back, really let Duolong know, all of them are accepted as ordered, Wang Zhongxiao can't cry to death?

There were a hundred rifled rifles in his musket, and it would be a great loss to lose it!

So on the Zhenjiang side, Wang Zhongxiao, Chen Yonghua and others moved all these arms to a painting boat bought from Yangzhou, and then went to Jiangning in the name of sending beautiful women to Duolong.

The matter of sending beautiful women is relatively private, and even if people know about it, they will not report it to the Dorondo army.

After all, the image of the multi-system army in the folk and officialdom of Liangjiang should be two-sleeved and clean, how can an iron-faced and selfless person accept the beauties of filial piety from his subordinates?

So those small officials and officials who guarded the gate just hinted at Wang Zhongxiao and let them go directly.

When he crossed Longjiang Pass (the confluence of the Qinhuai River and the Yangtze River) before, Wang Zhongxiao only hinted slightly, and the officials guarding the pass let him go without saying a word.

And the foreign commissar who guarded the Jiangning Xishui Pass was even more clear, he just glanced at Yang Xiaohuan, who was supporting Wang Zhongxiao, and he knew it in his heart. This woman is really charming to the bone, if she is sent to the rear house of the multi-system army, she will definitely be favored.

So. It doesn't matter if it's useful or not, you have to have a good stammer!

Thinking of this, the commissar clenched his fists and said, "Little Liu Shuochuan, it was the commissioner of Xishuiguan who asked the third master to say goodbye." The three masters are here to find a multi-system army? ”

"Hmm," Wang Zhongxiao glared, "can you handle it?" ”

The foreign commissioner named Liu Shuochuan said with a smile on his face: "Master Li doesn't know anything, this multi-system army left Jiangning not long ago to go to Wuhu to meet the minister Mingzhu and King Geng of Jingnan, and is not in Jiangning now. ”

"Absent?" Chen Yonghua interjected, "Then let's go to Lu Sanhao's side first!" ”

"Huh!" Wang Zhongxiao agreed.

"This old man," Mr. Liu said with a smile again, "Governor Lu also went to Wuhu with him." ”

Lu Sanhao also went?

Wang Zhong's filial piety said: Is this product going to the pit Duolong, or to pit Geng Jingzhong?

"Then go," Chen Yonghua thought for a while, "then go to my Zhuangzi on the side of the bridge outside Zhengyang Gate first." ”

"Outside the Zhengyang Gate?" Wang Zhongxiao thought for a while, and then looked at Mr. Liu, "Foreign Affairs Committee Liu, how to go outside Zhengyang Gate?" Is there a waterway? ”

Liu Datong always heard that the opportunity is coming, and he must grasp it!

"Humble acquaintance, humble duty can lead the way" Liu Shuochuan said with a smile, "Outside Zhengyang Gate is now outside Jiangning City, if you want to take the waterway to get there, you have to take Xishui Pass to enter the city first, and then take Dongshui Pass to exit the city." The investigation has been strict in the past few days, and it is not very convenient to go out of the city from Dongshuiguan. However, there is a lowly leader, and it is naturally unimpeded. ”

This general surnamed Liu is always quite interesting, and such an interesting person will not miss the opportunity to be a hero of the restoration of the Ming Dynasty!

Thinking of this, Wang Zhongxiao asked again: "Mr. Liu, are you a native of Jiangning?" You're familiar with Jiangning City, right? ”

"The humble position is from Shangyuan County," Liu said, "

smiled and nodded: "Okay, then there is labor!" ”

Yang Xiaohuan beside him also said to Mr. Liu in a sweet and greasy voice: "Mr. Liu, your name"

"Shuochuan," Liu Shuochuan said with a smile, "that's what Dachuan meant." ”

"Liu Shuochuan, got it." Yang Xiaohuan smiled and nodded.

Liu Shuochuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and then arched his hand and said: "A few old men, let's lead the way, and we can reach Zhengyang Gate in one hour at most." ”

Saying that, he arched his hand at Yang Xiaohuan again, and then turned around and left excitedly.

On the afternoon of the third day when Wang Zhongxiao and their arrival in Jiangning, Lu Sanhao, who accompanied Duolong and Mang Yitu to Wuhu to plot against Geng Jingzhong, finally escaped death, and ran back with three or four thousand Jiangning regimental exercises, throwing off his armor.

Not to mention, these Jiangning regiments are not very capable of training and fighting, but their ability to run away is not weak, and their vigilance is also high. Of course, Geng Jingzhong's 9,000-strong army was still quite far away, and it was discovered by Tuan Yong, who was sent out by Lu No. 3 to set up a sentry.

After discovering that Geng Jingzhong's army was about to come to attack, Lu Sanhao reacted extremely quickly, and almost without a little hesitation, he led his 4,000 regiments to run northward, and threw the 3,000 and hundreds of nearby governors to Geng Jingzhong.

Because of the timely run, Lu Sanhao's army did not fight with Geng Jingzhong's people, but only ran away on the road for a few hundred, so he was not able to return with the whole army.

However, this matter of fleeing without a fight, and even pitting the pacesetter of the governor of Liangjiang, can't let General Jiangning know about it! Otherwise, this old guy might be impulsive and let people arrest Lu Sanhao, which would not be good.

So when Lu Sanhao appeared in front of Echu, it wasn't good at all! His head was wrapped in gauze, his arms were bandaged, and there were two balls on his left and right—his legs and feet seemed to have fallen, and he appeared in front of him crying.

"Woo. General E, the lowly surnamed Geng has been attacked! It's too miserable, it's too bad. Ouch."

Seeing Lu Sanhao's miserable appearance, Echu, who originally wanted to blame him, couldn't bear to embarrass this junior loyal minister anymore. After all, he is just a civil official. Over the years, I have done enough for the Qing Dynasty. In the entire Liangjiang, among the prefects and Taoist platforms of the same grade as him, who can compare with him?

Because Li Zicheng saw that he was about to call Liangjiang, so now all the prefectures in Liangjiang are holding group exercises, but it is too much for other provinces to have one or two thousand group exercises, even if it is a rich mansion like Suzhou, and with the blessing of the governor of Jiangsu, it has also held two thousand five hundred group exercises.

And Jiang Ning, with Lu Sanhao's efforts, actually held a 5,000-unit training!

Moreover, other people's regimental training is used to defend the city, but this Lu Sanhao is willing to leave the mansion with the regimental training to help the governor of Liangjiang fight, even if he loses a big defeat, he is also a good courtier of the Qing Dynasty!

"Miyoshi," Er Chu frowned and asked with concern, "Are you seriously injured?" Have you seen a doctor? ”

"The injuries of the lowly duty are all skin injuries if they are not tightened, and the doctors in the army have been asked to help bandage them." Fat Lu pondered for a while, and then said with a look of shame, "General, over there is a multi-system army. After the lowly duty was secretly attacked and defeated by Geng Jingzhong's men and horses that day, it was found that the Geng family's brigade did not stare at the lowly people and chased them fiercely, but only sent a team of men and horses to chase them out for dozens of miles. I am worried that Geng Jingzhong will use a large number of men and horses to fight against the multi-system army in Wuhu."

"You guessed! The multi-system army was beaten back and forth by Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong outside Wuhu City, and now it has been defeated and trapped in Wuhu City! ”

Er Chu paused, shook his head again, and said, "The multi-system army will not use troops, he shouldn't divide the troops!" He gathered a total of 12,000 people, and it was not necessarily possible to win half of Geng Jingzhong's men and horses in one place, and then divided into two, it was too easy for people to break through. ”

Fat Lu sighed: "General E, what now?" Will the multi-system army be Jiangning City, and what should be good? ”

Echu said: "Sanhao, don't worry too much, Wuhu is dangerous, and it is backed by the Yangtze River, although the multi-system army is defeated, but there are no less than 5,000 Eight Banner soldiers and green battalion soldiers at hand, and they can always hold on for a few days." Moreover, this official has already given an order to Shi Junmen in Guazhou, asking him to immediately send a boat to Wuhu to transport the soldiers and horses of the multi-system army back to Jiangning, as long as the 5,000 people of the multi-system army can come back, we will always have more than 10,000 people on hand. You can still defend Jiangning City! Jiang Ning is a strong city, Zheng Chenggong brought so many soldiers, horses, water and land to march together, didn't he succeed in the end? What's more, there are only more than 10,000 lonely soldiers surnamed Geng and Shang? ”

"What General said is extremely true!" Lu Sanhao hurriedly sent a compliment.

Seeing that Echu didn't blame himself, he calmed down a little, and was about to say goodbye and leave, when a Goshha from Echu suddenly came outside to report: "General, the Wang Counselor of the Xiaolingwei Battalion sent someone to send a post. ”

"What?" E Chu was stunned for a moment, "General Wang?" Wang Huaxing? Didn't he just come back with Governor Lu? Why did you give a post to the official? ”

This Wang Huaxing is a person from Duolong, he is a martial artist in the ninth year of Kangxi, and was favored by Duolong, who was released to Liangjiang at that time, and was appointed as a general of the superintendent. A while ago, Lu Sanhao held a group training and needed a few people who knew military affairs, so Duolong gave Wang Huaxing to Lu Sanhao.

In addition, Ma Hu, the governor of Jiangsu, also recommended Zuo Yuanyang. It was Zuo Yuanyang, who made meritorious service to arrest the "Third Prince Zhu" in Suzhou last time, and became a deputy general of the regimental training battalion.

This time, it was this Wang Huaxing who assisted Lu Sanhao to go on the expedition together, and Zuo Yuanyang led 2,000 "recruits" to stay in the Xiaolingwei camp.

Now Lu Sanhao and Wang Huaxing have just returned to Jiangning, and this Wang Huaxing has sent a message to General Jiangning. Is it to beat Lu Sanhao's small report? That's a bit of a bad rule!

Lu Sanhao was also very interesting, and immediately said to Er Chu: "General, there must be a lot of official affairs accumulated in the lowly yamen, so I will leave first." ”

"No, no." Echu waved his hand, and then said to the Goshha, "Bring me the post." ”

"Huh."

The Goshha immediately picked up his robe and trotted all the way to Echu, made a thousand salutes, and then handed the gift post. Er Chu picked up the post, squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "There is such a thing? ”

This surprise scared Lu Sanhao. He thought that he had betrayed the Qing Dynasty and that it had been exposed, but he still pretended to be calm and just looked at Echu.

And Er Chu also happened to look at Lu Sanhao, looked at each other, and almost sparked, this is Er Chu said to Lu Sanhao in a somewhat crying and laughing tone: "Sanhao, there is a rumor that Zhu Yuanzhang has appeared in the Xiaolingwei camp!" ”

"Who? Who apparilates? Lu Sanhao was also surprised.

"Zhu Yuanzhang is that Ming Taizu!"

"He, why did he manifest himself?" Lu Sanhao asked.

"This, where do I know this?" E Chu replied casually, and suddenly found that something was wrong, "No, it's not Zhu Yuanzhang's manifestation. Someone is lying to confuse the people! ”

"Evil words confuse the public" Lu Sanhao was shocked, "Here, in the Xiaoling Guard Regiment training camp?" He also became nervous, and immediately hugged his fist to Er Chu, "General, the subordinate has to go and take a look, but you can't let the gossip deceive people!" ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Erchu to answer, he limped around and was about to leave.

"Wait," Er Chu stopped him, "This official is going too!" Someone is coming, immediately mobilize 500 banner soldiers and pull up two red-coated cannons and six sub-mother cannons, and the official will go to Xiaolingwei! ”

"Huh!"

The group of Goshkha below answered loudly.

This Ming Taizu's manifestation is not only strange, but also a little too big!

This matter is clearly that someone wants to rebel!

After all, this Ming Taizu appeared in the Qing Dynasty, what else can he do besides calling on everyone to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty? If you want to restore the Qing Dynasty, it is time for Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan to appear!

And now the situation in Nanjing is really dangerous, and there is a Li Zicheng in Wuchang who is eyeing him!

There is also Wu Guogui of Wu Sangui's family in Hunan!

There is also a Wu Yingxiong of "Xiong Zhenzhongyuan" on the other side of Xiangyang!

On the other side of Wuhu, Geng Jingzhong and Shang Zhixin are besieging Duolong, the governor of Liangjiang, and now they may have been killed!

No matter how you look at it, the Qing Dynasty is a bit dangerous, and the hearts of Jiangning's people needless to say know that they must be floating badly!

Ming Taizu manifested such a ridiculous thing, maybe no one believed it when the world was peaceful, but now hehe, it's hard to say!

Therefore, Echu decided to take 500 troops to the camp of Ming Xiaoling to shock Xiaoxiao!

Well, now there are only these people, and there are a total of 5,000 people in the Jiangning Banner camp, of which 4,000 were taken away by Duolong, and there are still 1,000 people left, plus more than 1,000 people who were temporarily mobilized, all of whom were guarded in Jiangning Mancheng, which was the original Nanjing Imperial City of the Ming Dynasty.

Although there are 2,000 banner soldiers on the books, there are only 1,000 who can really fight, and half of them have to be left in the city, otherwise what if someone in the city makes trouble?

However, although the number of Echu is small, the firepower is still enough, and Echu has cannons!

Hu Lu will die, the Ming Dynasty will be restored, cover my Chinese people, God will order my Chinese people to be safe, how can Yi Di be governed! Fearing that the Middle Earth has been polluted for a long time, and the people are disturbed, he ordered the third prince to lead the heroes to work hard to clear up, aiming to chase the Hulu, eliminate the riots, so that the people can get their place, snow the shame of China, and restore the state of the Ming Dynasty. ”

In the Xiaolingwei camp, in the school grounds, thousands of people are hugging there, listening to He Tianran, who has a big beard and a louder voice, reading a copy of "Prince Ming Asks for Qing" that suddenly appeared in the notice board!

As soon as he finished reading it, someone there took the initiative to hand over the conversation: "Mr. He Qian, what are you reading?" What the hell is being said? ”

He Tianran touched his beard and said loudly: "Ming Taizu told us that Hu Lu is going to be finished again, and Da Ming will definitely be able to come back this time. This is destiny! The third prince of Zhu will come to lead how to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty and restore China again. As long as we follow along, we will all be heroes. In the future, children and grandchildren will have a good life, and they can enjoy a hundred generations! Brothers, do you want to do it? ”

"!"

"He's N, kill the Qing Demon!"

"yes, kill them."

"The benefits of the world are all for them, and we have nothing to suffer!"

"Lose your mother, there's a mess!"

Look, the scolding Nanjing dialect is here!

For a moment it was a real outrage, and most of the regiment was stirred up, and some were brandishing swords and flintlock pistols from unknown whereabouts

However, there are also people who don't believe in Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang!

Just when most people wanted to speculate, two crisp sounds of "popping" suddenly sounded in the Xiaolingwei camp. When the big guy looked back, it turned out to be Wang Huaxing, the general of the Xiaolingwei battalion, with a few personal soldiers, walking quickly with two pistols, shouting as he walked: "Who dares to rebel?" What Ming Taizu's manifestation is all a fallacy to confuse the public! If you really want Ming Taizu, you let him come out and take a look, but the official wants to see, what does Zhu Yuanzhang look like? ”

Although this general is only a general, he looks like that, with a white face and long hair, angry eyes and straight nose, mighty and elegant, and he has a very high prestige in the camp, and the training of the overseers is very strict, and no one up and down is dissatisfied.

So as soon as he threatened him, the Jiangning Tuanding, who were originally restless, suddenly became a little cowardly.

At this moment, that He Tianran suddenly laughed and said, "Please invite the third prince of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Then thousands of people shouted together: "Please make the third prince of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

This can scare Wang Huaxing, hundreds of thousands of people shouted together, and the words are still so accurate, they must have practiced.

This is not a training program for Jiangning's group training.

Just when he was startled, a dignified-looking third prince Zhu, wearing a dragon robe, wearing a crown of good wings on his head, a three-foot sword hanging from his waist, and several big men on the left and right to protect him, had already walked out of a room near the notice board.

"Come and meet the third prince of Damingding, Zhu!"

The guards who came out with the third prince of Zhu shouted.

Then I don't know how many people shouted together: "Meet the third prince of Daming Ding!" We are willing to follow the third prince to chase Hu Lu and make meritorious deeds! ”

As soon as these people's shouts fell, Wang Huaxing suddenly shouted: "No, he is not the third prince of Zhu, he is a fake!" ”
