Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1329 Under the Northern Shaanxi Incident

The real identity of the scribe is Wang Xu, and Hu Xiaosheng is just his pseudonym.

After the Ming army captured Beijing, Wang Xu, who had been lurking for many years, ended his mission of collecting intelligence from the Qing army. Tiandihui was further incorporated into Jinyiwei, and he became one of the two acquaintances of Jinyiwei.

Because of his familiarity with secret espionage work, Wang Xu continued to preside over the Ming Dynasty's intelligence spying on the Kingdom of Jin and the instigation of important personnel in the north.

The Kingdom of Jin and the Ming Dynasty are relatively similar in every respect, with almost the same culture and clothing. It should be easier to do intelligence, but in fact it is just the opposite.

Although the Ming Dynasty developed many spies in the Kingdom of Jin, the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Jin were extremely stable, and the spies of the Ming Dynasty rarely found core information.

The Kingdom of Jin's attack on Yarkand and the struggle for hegemony with the Raksha people in Central Asia were all excellent opportunities for the Ming Dynasty to display. Unfortunately, due to poor intelligence, they did not get the information immediately. When the news reached Nanjing, the Ming Dynasty had already Missed the best time to do it.

After Wang Xu presided over the intelligence affairs against the Kingdom of Jin, he organized and planned to instigate rebellion against several big figures, but the other party either maintained an ambiguous attitude, or was directly rejected if he was indifferent, and the instigation against Tang Tong made him fall into a trap. Big somersault.

After many failed actions, Wang Xu began to look for the reason, and soon discovered that the Jin Kingdom was very different from the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

When he was in Beijing, he mainly instigated various high officials, and the probability of success was extremely high. The reason was that the Manchus did not trust the Han people. These ministers did not belong to the ruling class of the Manchus. Find a better position, give full play to your talents, and leave a way out for yourself.As long as these people offer the right conditions, they may be anyway.

The Kingdom of Jin is different. These military leaders and officials have obtained real benefits, and they are the ruling class of the Kingdom of Jin.Some military leaders are even like independent princes, who have the power to intervene and decide many things in the territory. Since they are the ruling class, it is naturally difficult for them to rebel against themselves.

After instigating Tang Tong's failure and being put on the same line, Wang Xu gradually changed his intelligence strategy in the Kingdom of Jin. He no longer instigated those big figures and military leaders, but instead instigated the people around them and the people at the bottom of the Jin Kingdom. Qian cultivated and subsidized some people in the Kingdom of Jin, allowing them to grow rapidly and enter the high-level and various industries of the Kingdom of Jin, taking a roundabout route.

This time, Wudehao's plan can be realized in Guanzhong, which is largely related to Jinyiwei's actions. The several Guanzhong-background firms used by Wudehao were all funded and developed by Jinyiwei, and it is precisely because of these Guanzhong-backgrounded firms. The plan of the firm and Wudehao can be implemented smoothly.

Liu Chengyong also successfully instigated rebellion after Jin Yiwei's thinking changed.

Wang Yongqiang served as the local emperor in northern Shaanxi for eight or nine years, and Liu Chengyong served as a garrison under him for seven years.

The power of the Jin army is mainly concentrated in Tongguan and Hanzhong, as is the Ming army, and the two sides are fighting head-on.

In this case, the strength of the two sides is concentrated, and it is generally difficult to tell the winner, but if someone makes a breakthrough in some unnoticed corners, it may achieve unexpected results.

This kind of situation has happened many times in history, and it is also the same in the game of the country. Many times the boss and the second child are in a game. It is not uncommon for the sixth and seventh children to rise suddenly.

After studying the confrontation between Ming and Jin, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies felt that it would consume a lot of energy to attack head-on, so they formulated several devious plans.

Northern Shaanxi was in the plan, so Jin Yiwei had contacted Wang Yongqiang's subordinates very early on, and Liu Chengyong had defected to the Ming Dynasty at that time.

After Wang Xu presided over the intelligence affairs of the Kingdom of Jin, he has not made much achievements. He is very concerned about this operation in northern Shaanxi, so he changed his name to Hu Xiaosheng and went to battle in person.

If the operation in northern Shaanxi is successful this time, there will be a gap in the defense of the Jin Kingdom in Guanzhong, disrupting the layout of the Jin Kingdom, and the Ming army will be able to discover the flaws of the Jin Kingdom and break into Guanzhong.

Wubao County is in the east of Suide, close to the Yellow River, and in the east is Yongning Prefecture in Shanxi, facing the Ming army across the river.

Among the Yellow River crossings in the northern part of Shaanxi, Wubao is the largest one, and Kehuzhai and Fugu in the north are not suitable for crossing the river.

The Yellow River in the northern section of Shaanxi rushes south along the Luliang Mountains. The river rushes down from high places and the current is turbulent. There are not many places suitable for crossing the river, and it is difficult to build bridges. That's why Tongguan and Pujin Pass can become the key points in Guanzhong.

Wubao is on the northern section of the Yellow River, a relatively easy place to cross the river, so it is the focus of the Jin army's defense.

Wang Yongqiang built a pier at the ferry, and there were 1000 people defending it.

1000 people may not seem to be many, but the terrain of the ferry is very dangerous, with mountains and broken walls formed by erosion on both sides, coupled with the turbulent water flow, the number of people who can cross each time is limited, and 1000 people are enough to guard the ferry.

For such an important place, ordinary people Wang Yongqiang is not at ease. He can only rest assured if he uses his family or relatives, so he chose his wife and younger brother Zeng Yuquan to sit in the town.

Wang Yongqiang is the local emperor in northern Shaanxi, and Zeng Yuquan is a prince sealed in Wubao. He lived a comfortable and peaceful life in Wubao.

However, the bad things about growing cotton also affected his mood. When he was anxious about running out of money and food, he received a letter from Wang Yongqiang.

He said that the Ming Dynasty wanted to recruit him, and would send a batch of grain and silver over. He had asked Liu Chengyong to collect it and asked him to cooperate well, but at the same time reminded him that the grain and silver must be collected, but the Ming army must not be allowed to cross the river. This made Zeng Yuquan confused.

On September [-], early in the morning, Zeng Yuquan and Liu Chengyong arrived at the ferry.

Looking at the rolling Yellow River, Zeng Yuquan couldn't help but said to Liu Chengyong next to him, "Didn't it be agreed today, why hasn't the food delivery person appeared yet?"

Liu Chengyong glanced at him and smiled, "It's still early, it should be soon!"

While the two were talking, a transport team slowly appeared at the opposite ferry. The team consisted of hundreds of mule carts, fully loaded with grain and boxes of silver.

The ferry in northern Shaanxi is difficult to transport. Large caravans will not use the ferry in northern Shaanxi.The appearance of such a large-scale convoy in front of us must be the agreement.

At this time, the soldiers on the pier observing the opposite bank saw the convoy appearing on the other bank, and immediately shouted, "Here we come!"

Zeng Yuquan immediately became excited when he heard this, and the officers behind him also whispered, the price of cotton plummeted, and the grain in the army was exhausted.

Everyone was looking forward to it, and an hour later, five boats floated from the ferry across the river to Wubao Ferry.

Zeng Yuquan was overjoyed, and rushed to the pier with a hundred of his subordinates. He saw that the boat was full of men, but there were very few grain bags on the boat, so he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

"What about the food? Why bring so many people here? You can load the food on the east bank, and I'll send someone to unload it on the west bank!" Zeng Yuquan reprimanded loudly. People from the east coast came to the west coast.

He said something, but the two or three hundred men on the five boats stood still, Zeng Yuquan frowned slightly, "What are you doing in a daze, they are going to be unloaded and loaded soon! Didn't your lords tell you?"

The air suddenly became quiet, and the men on the boat still didn't move, and no one even replied to his words, all squinting at him.

Zeng Yuquan's heart trembled, he couldn't help taking a step back, then turned around suddenly, and ran back quickly, but when he looked up, Liu Chengyong led hundreds of people to stand in front of him, also squinting at himself.

For a moment, Zeng Yuquan seemed to understand something, he laughed awkwardly, he couldn't advance, he couldn't retreat, he was extremely embarrassed.

······
In Suide Prefecture, the night is getting darker, the city has ended the hustle and bustle of the day, and it is slowly silent. Every household closes their doors and windows, and falls asleep in a sound sleep. There are only a few patrols in the city who are still walking around with torches.

Inside the General Army Mansion, Wang Yongqiang was sleeping soundly with his concubine in his arms, when a fast horse suddenly rushed out of Suide City.

Not long after, Wang Yongqiang, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by someone. A thousand households were running around in a hurry in the festival hall. Wang Yongqiang walked in wearing a piece of clothing with an unhappy expression on his face.

"What's the matter?" Wang Yongqiang walked towards the seat while pulling the clothes on his shoulders.

Qianhu hurriedly cupped his fists and said in a panic, "Junmen, the Ming army has crossed the river from Wubao!"

Wang Yongqiang froze, his face was full of shock, the clothes on his shoulders slipped off and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Qianhu hurriedly suggested: "Junmen, Wubao Ferry can't cross many people at one time. There should not be many Ming troops crossing the river now. Let's quickly gather brothers and drive the Ming troops down the river. There is still time to retake the ferry. !"

Wang Yongqiang didn't seem to wake up, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while. He sat down on the chair next to him and murmured, "How could this be?"

"Junmen?" Qianhu called out again.

Wang Yongqiang raised his head and glanced at him, but stood up suddenly, walked back quickly, and shouted, "Madam, where is my set of armor of the Great Ming General? Find it for me!"

One person from a thousand households stayed in the festival hall, he looked at the direction where Wang Yongqiang disappeared, and was so shocked that he could put an egg in his mouth...
