Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 356
Wang Fuzhi's worry was not unreasonable. If the Qing army found that the emperor could not be escorted to Fujing, they would definitely choose to kill him directly. This was something Wang Yan absolutely could not accept, and he did not dare to take such a risk.

Seeing the generals looking at him, Wang Yan could only wave his hands sadly and said: "We will discuss this later~"

At this time, they had come to Wang Wei's tomb by the side of the valley, but a wooden board was inserted on a pile of rubble, and the inscription "Tomb of Wang Wei, General of the Han Dynasty" looked very desolate.

General Wang Weizhe, styled Yuanzhang, was born in Shaanxi. He was a good ranger and respected by the villagers.During the reign of Chongzhen, Zhao Yingyuan caused chaos at the beginning, and then rebelled against Qing Dynasty in Qingzhou.When Yingyuan died, he went south from Wang Yan to join the Ming Dynasty. After going through battles, he must strive to be the first.

In the year of Yiyou, when Nanjing fell, Yuanzhang moved from Wang Yan to Guangnan, met the king of Tang on his way, and embraced him as the supervisor of the country.At that time, the Zheng family in central Fujian had the desire to coerce the emperor to order the princes, and welcomed the king of Tang to ascend to the throne in central Fujian to command the world.

Yuanzhang also entered Fujian from Wang Yan, but Wang Yan was jealous of the Zheng family and left Guangnan. The emperor is thorough!"

In the year of Bingshu, the Zheng family rebelled, and the Qing army entered Fujian through Xianxia. Yuan Zhang hurriedly led [-] soldiers and horses to escort him into Jiangxi.And Tingzhou, for the Qing soldiers to catch up, after a day of fighting, they were outnumbered, and many ministers of the clan and society were lost.Yuan Zhang used more than a thousand remnants to protect His Majesty.

And Shanguan, waiting for the welcoming army to arrive, but the Qing soldiers came again, only a hundred people fled into the forest.The Qing soldiers sealed off the mountain to search and arrest him, but he was eventually killed.

Wen died in the country, Wu died in the border, the general was a thief at first, but now he is lying in the wild, and he is loyal to the country in the end.

Looking at Wang Wei's tombstone, Wang Yan felt infinitely sad. He paid homage, and then another soldier opened the tomb. Seeing that the corpse was indeed Wang Wei, and it was only wrapped in a bamboo mat, he felt even more uncomfortable, and suddenly felt sad. Unable to overcome oneself, when old friends meet again, what will weep for!

Wang Yan then ordered the soldiers to be buried again, and entrusted Wang Fuzhi to write a biography for Wang Wei before returning to Chengguan with everyone.

At this moment, a group of people sat down in Huang Ting's mansion, Wang Yan calmed down his sadness, and immediately asked Wang Fuzhi: "Brother, you refuted my decision just now, do you have other ways to rescue Your Majesty in your mind?"

Wang Fu thought about it for a while on the way, "I think this matter must be kept secret, and the Qing soldiers must not find out, otherwise their first move must be to hurt His Majesty."

"There are more than 1 Qing soldiers. Even if it is a sneak attack, the Qing generals have time to react. How can they not be discovered?"

Everyone present was lost in thought.

Wang Fuzhi nodded and said: "It is indeed difficult, but fortunately our attack on Shanguan was very secretive, and Guang Guang's Qing soldiers have not noticed it yet, so there is still a chance now."

At this time, Jin Shengheng seemed to think of something, and said immediately: "Duke, I heard from Huang Ting that Ziguang Temple is located in the mountains and the terrain is dangerous. There must not be many soldiers and horses. Maybe we can send a few elite soldiers to carry out a sneak attack. If the Duke sends another army to cut off the connection between Ziguangguan and Guangguang, it may be successful."

It is indeed a good choice to attack Ziguang Temple. For such an important person as Longwu, the Qing soldiers of Ziguang Temple would not dare to make arbitrarily decisive decisions. They must accept Zhang Cunren's instructions. Then things can be done!

Wang Yanwen couldn't help but brighten his eyes, "This method can be tried, but the people who attack Ziguang Temple must not be too many, and they must be very elite. Who of you is competent?"

Yuan Zongdi stood up at this time, bowed and saluted, "I will recommend a person to the Duke of the State, Qin Feng, who is a thousand households in Zhongyong Town, and I will cooperate with him to take Yicheng, so he is suitable for fighting in the mountains and forests."

Hearing the words, Dai Zhifan stood up unhappily and said, "Why are you still thinking about that kid, Duke Qin Feng is the subordinate of the last general, this time, I will leave it to the last general~"

Wang Yan had some impressions of Qin Feng. He was Sun Shoufa's nephew. He followed Sun Shoufa in Zhongnan Mountain and insisted on resisting Shun for many years. After the defeat of Dashun, he fought against the Qing Dynasty in the mountains. He just defeated Yicheng guarded by Gaodi. He is indeed a young player worth training and the best candidate for this operation.

Rescuing the Son of Heaven, although the risk is huge, is definitely an errand that can be rewarded handsomely. As long as His Majesty is rescued, His Majesty will definitely bestow favors on the rescuer.

Wang Yan looked at Dai Zhifan, and then at Yuan Zongdi. At this moment, he couldn't help weighing in his mind, and finally said: "Since Qin Feng is a loyal and brave person, then I will leave it to Ming Zhang to enter Ziguang Temple to rescue him~" Yuan Zongdi was a little disappointed when he heard the words. In fact, there was always a knot in his heart and the hearts of all the surrendered generals. After all, Emperor Chongzhen was forced to death by them, so it was inevitable that he would worry about the Ming Dynasty's settlement after autumn.

Although they have Wang Yanlibao now, Wang Yan cannot represent Daming after all, so Yuan Zongdi really wanted to use the opportunity of saving him to gain the emperor's trust.

Wang Yan also had his worries in his heart. He naturally understood what Yuan Zongdi meant, but once Wang Wei died, the entire Shunjun faction in his system would become stronger, so Wang Yan had to support the Yangzhou faction. balance the two.

Where there are people, there will be battles. Even the People's Liberation Army of later generations has Yiye, Siye, Central, and the mountains of Shaanxi and Gansu, not to mention Wang Yan's army.

At this moment, Wang Yan looked at the somewhat disappointed Yuan Zongdi and said, "General Yuan, you should lead a team to cut off the connection between Ziguangguan and Guangguang!"

Although he couldn't go to the Ziguang Temple in person, it was obviously a good choice to get such a task. Yuan Zongdi also smiled and agreed when he heard the words.

Wang Yan then ordered: "If Mingzhang succeeds in rescuing His Majesty, you can send a signal, and the governor will immediately swing his troops to attack Guangguang. The general plan is as follows. Now Qin Feng and Huang Ting can be recruited. After we finalize the specific details, Execute immediately!"

At dawn the next day, an army of nearly 300 soldiers arrived at the boundary of Guangze County, and then divided into two teams, one with 700 soldiers, entered the vast mountain forest, and the other with [-] soldiers, hid in the woods.

Guangze County is located beside the Beixi River. It is surrounded by mountains and surrounded by mountains. The county seat is located at the foot of the mountain, which seems very remote. The population of the county seat is not large, only a thousand households.

Most of the residents live by plowing fields and growing tea. Although their lives are poor, they are more stable and peaceful. Everyone works at sunrise and rests at sunset. However, it affected this small city, and the Qing soldiers who suddenly entered broke the peace of the people.

At this time, there was not a single family in the city. This was the result of three consecutive days of looting and massacres after the Qing soldiers entered the city.

Zhang Cunren, governor of Fujian and Zhejiang in the Qing court, led [-] soldiers and horses to garrison here. He is ordering his men to pack the looted property and prepare to return to Fuzhou tomorrow.

Zhang Cunren can be regarded as high-spirited now. This time he not only captured Emperor Longwu of Nanming, but also in the process of pursuing him, he took a lot of property from the states and counties along the way. There were as many as hundreds of carts. , Almost all of them have become his pocketbook.

Ten miles northwest of the county seat, there is a small Taoist temple called Ziguang Temple, which was built in the Song Dynasty. There are more than ten Taoists in the temple. Emperor Longwu was imprisoned here by Zhang Cunren.

Why did Zhang Cunren imprison Longwu here instead of in Guangze County where soldiers and horses gather? It is because although the Qing army entered Fujian and Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing court, it does not mean that Fujian has been peaceful. There are forces that support the Ming Dynasty, such as Liu Zhongzao, a scholar, Yang Dongsheng, the right servant of the Ministry of War, etc., are still active in Fujian.

Zhang Cunren had gained a lot of wealth, but he didn't want to fight against the rebels, so although he captured Longwu, he didn't disclose the news to the outside world, just because he was afraid of attracting rebels' siege.

Guangming has a large number of people and people, so he imprisoned Longwu in the Ziguang Temple among the mountains. While packing up his luggage, he asked the governor Tong Guoding to lead the troops to sweep away the rebels on the way back to Fuzhou, so as to ensure his ability to go south. Safety.

Together with Qin Feng, Dai Zhifan and Qin Feng led three hundred elites through the rolling mountains and arrived at Ziguang Temple in the afternoon, but they did not disturb the people in the temple, but hid in the woods halfway up the mountain, waiting for the night to fall .
