Ming Dynasty Road

Chapter 26
After having Zhou Tong and others, Zhao Yi selected [-] ordinary-looking and unobtrusive soldiers from the army to join the armed forces behind the enemy. and others, from language to living customs and military skills, a comprehensive study, after half a month of training.

The armed forces behind enemy lines are the strongest in terms of staffing, equipment, and training. The original sluggishness has disappeared, and each has been reborn. After rigorous training, these people can speak some Manchu and are familiar with the life of the Manchus. I am used to things that are usually taboo, and I have also undergone devil-like physical training, and my martial arts have improved a lot. I can also skillfully use knives, guns, bows, crossbows, and firecrackers, and I also learned how to use gunpowder under Zhao Yi's emphasis. Method, this time sneaking into the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Zhao Yi is going to make Shengjing a mess!
During the training days of Zhou Tong and others, Zhao Yi was not idle, and sent someone to contact the moon girl in Datong. Moon heard that Zhao Yi was going to organize a team to go to Shengjing to make trouble, and the moon suddenly became energetic. The last time I almost died under the butcher's knife of a soldier of the Qing Dynasty. Every time the moon thought of that danger, she would grit her teeth angrily. I gave it to Zhao Yi, saying that he wanted to show Man Qing some color. Zhao Yi knew that Yue Yue hated Man Qing and almost killed her.

In addition, after Zhou Zhongyi learned of Zhao Yi's plan, he also dispatched Jinyiwei's intelligence personnel. Their tasks were more complicated. They were not responsible for making trouble, but for spying on important information about the Qing Dynasty, and established a complete set of intelligence personnel in Shengjing. The intelligence network, as well as measuring the terrain of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and spying on the defense situation of the cities of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, prepared for the future Ming Dynasty army to regain lost ground. Suddenly, the number of military workers in the enemy's rear reached more than 500 people. There were frequent conflicts between the Qing and the Qing, and the people of the two countries also traded with each other, so it was not too difficult to infiltrate.

*****
Shengjing, where Huangtaiji is located, was originally called Shenyang. It was originally a city built in the Ming Dynasty. Later, Huangtaiji expanded Shenyang City and built a palace, changing Shenyang to Shengjing. The newly expanded palace city is much more luxurious than the original one. It is even more magnificent, but it is still not comparable to Beijing in the Ming Dynasty.

The walls of Shengjing are built with rammed earth, and there are eight gates. The gates are relatively simple.The eight gates are the eight side gates, namely: Dadongjinmen of Dadongguan outside Fujinmen, Xiaodongbianmen of Xiaodongguan outside Neizhimen, Dananbianmen of Dananguan outside Deshengmen, and Xiaonanguan outside Tianyoumen. The small south gate of Huaiyuan Gate, the big west gate of Daxiguan outside Huaiyuanmen, the small west gate of Xiaoxiguan outside Wailanmen, the big north gate of Dabeiguan outside Fushengmen, and the small north gate of Xiaobeiguan outside Dizaimen.In this way, Shenyang City has the divisions of "Eight Gates" and "Eight Passes".The area between the city wall and the Guan wall is called "Guanxiang". At that time, most of the people living in Guanxiang were the so-called "Icher Manchuria", that is, New Manchuria.Clearly divide the residential boundaries of the Eight Banners. Fujinguan and Dadongguan are bordered by red flags; Neizhimen and Xiaodongguan are bordered by Zhenghongqi; Deshengmen and Dananguan are bordered by yellow flags; Tianyoumen and Xiaonanguan are bordered by yellow flags. Bordered by the Xianglan Banner, the inside of Huaiyuanmen and Daxiguan are bordered by the Bordered White Banner, the inside of Wailanmen and Xiaosiguan are bordered by the Zhenghuang Banner, the inside of Fushengmen and Dabeiguan are bordered by the Zhenglan Banner, and the inside of Dizaimen and Xiaosiguan are bordered by the Zhenglan Banner. Beiguan is the boundary of Zhengbai Banner.

Although Shengjing is not as luxurious as the Beijing city of Ming Dynasty, the defense of the city is not as good as that of Beijing. The inner city and the outer city are surrounded by moats. The moat is tens of feet wide and more than three feet deep. Stone bridges, city walls, urns, gates, towers, and archery towers are all available, forming Shengjing's indestructible city defense system.

At this time, Zhou Tong and the others were all dressed in the standard manchurian style, with shiny money rattail braids, carrying a bird cage in their hands, and walking leisurely towards Desheng Gate. The south gate of Beijing is a city gate with double eaves and Xieshan attic style. The roof is covered with gray tiles and green glazed tiles. There is a large stone plaque hanging on the door, with three vigorous characters "Deshengmen" engraved on it.

At the gate of Deshengmen stood more than a dozen green battalion soldiers, wearing uniforms with the word "Yong" written on them, standing on both sides of the gate with red tasseled guns in their hands. Drinking a big bowl of tea, touching his iron-blue and bald head, with money rattails drooping behind him, and with a bored expression on his clothes, he watched the people coming and going to the city. Shengjing was the capital of the Qing Dynasty, so the green battalion soldiers They don't know how to check the people in the past. Of course, even if they want to check, it is very difficult. After all, there are countless people coming in and out. Zhou Tong and others just mixed in the people's flow and entered Shengjing swaggeringly.

Zhou Tong and the others are bold and skilled, wearing mandarin jackets, holding a folding fan in their hands, and carrying a birdcage. At first glance, they thought they were a group of noble sons of the Eight Banners. Following him were Shi Xiaoqiang and others. There was no place for Shi Xiaoqiang in the event, but Zhao Yi couldn't stand Shi Xiaoqiang's begging, and Shi Xiaoqiang's skill in blasting was well learned. Since Songshan came to Tumubao, Shi Xiaoqiang has been thinking about killing Tartars for revenge all the time. Given the opportunity, Shi Xiaoqiang naturally refused to give up, begging Zhao Yi to join the armed forces team behind the enemy.

Ever since Shi Xiaoqiang saw the power of gunpowder in Songshan, he followed the old men in the army to learn the blasting technique of gunpowder day and night. Besides, Shi Xiaoqiang has a harmless and honest face, hiding a heart ready for revenge at all times, and now he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't make a few noises every day. This time he followed Zhou Tong to Shengjing, but A wagon full of gunpowder was prepared and brought into the stronghold in Shengjing in batches.

Manchus admired bravery, even in Shengjing they could wear weapons, of course only noble Manchus, Han people did not have this treatment, Zhou Tong and others pretended to be Manchurians, and it was common for them to wear weapons around their waists. They were dressed gorgeously, and they were the nobles of the Eight Banners at first glance, and no one patrolled the soldiers.

The gate of Deshengmen is very tall, and there is a chilly feeling when walking in the passage of the gate. The place where the sun does not shine all the year round is always so cold. Seeing his compatriots being divided into lower races, a deep sense of humiliation and hatred arose in his heart.

After entering Deshengmen, Zhou Tong and others hurried to Feng Er's stronghold who had entered the city before them. Because they carried a lot of weapons and gunpowder this time, they naturally couldn't find an inn to live in, so all 500 people dispersed Sneak into Shengjing in several batches, and find a large number of residential houses in Shengjing as strongholds.

Zhou Tong and others wandered around the city several times, and after confirming that no one was following them, they came to an inconspicuous residence in the outer city. Shi Xiaoqiang stepped forward to knock on the door. After a while, a low voice came from the courtyard: " Who is it?"

"The king of heaven covers the tiger of earth." Shi Xiaoqiang replied according to the secret signal Zhao Yi had fulfilled.

"Pagoda town river demon." There was also a rush of footsteps in the courtyard, and then there was a creak, the old wooden door opened, and a thin man appeared at the door, his face was full of surprise, it was Zhou Tong's brother Feng Er.

This is a small residential house, and it is not a high-end residence in terms of shape. The whitewashed walls on the walls are also peeling off, and the bricks paved in the yard are also pitted.

Under the leadership of Feng Er, Zhou Tong and others entered the house and sat down. Feng Er asked excitedly: "Brother, brothers have successfully entered the city, and all of them live near here. We are all ready , when will Master Zhao let us act?"

Zhou Tong said solemnly: "Master Zhao told me this time, we must first help Jin Yiwei to establish an intelligence network in Shengjing, and then we can act, this time we will make Shengjing restless, let the dog tartar I know that our Daming is not easy to mess with, by the way, you have been here for a while, is it safe around here? How do you understand the surrounding situation?"

"What Mr. Zhao said is very true. I have been here for a while, and I have figured it out. This alley is relatively remote, and there is nothing luscious in this alley. It is rare for Manchu officers and soldiers to check, but often There are green camp soldiers who came to blackmail the people, and even came here to blackmail me. If it weren't for the fear of exposing our plan, I would have slaughtered these bastards long ago, and I was extorted a few taels of money by them for nothing. The people are not much better." Feng Er gritted his teeth viciously when he said that the green camp soldiers blackmailed the people, obviously he was often harassed by the green camp soldiers.

"Feng Er, have you forgotten what Mr. Zhao told us? Mr. Zhao told us that before we stabilize, we must endure as much as we can, and we must endure as long as we can't. In the future, there will be opportunities to clean up these bastards. , what are you in a hurry for? If our plan is revealed, I will skin you before Mr. Zhao cleans you up." Zhou Tong frowned and reprimanded.

"Brother, Feng Er naturally understands this matter. Don't get angry, brother. I've just had a mouthful, and I will never ruin Mr. Zhao's plan." Feng Er realized that he had said something wrong, and he admitted it with a playful smile. .

"Okay, you talk a lot of bullshit, hurry up and contact the captains of each of our teams, let them all come here, let's discuss it and see what we should do next," Zhou Tong said carelessly.

Because there were too many people, and for the convenience of management of the armed forces behind the enemy, Zhao Yi appointed a small captain out of 20 people before departure, and appointed Zhou Tong as the general captain, and Shi Xiaoqiang and Feng Er as the deputy captains.

"Okay, then I'll contact them right away, you guys should take a good rest first, don't go out and wander around, you will be in trouble if you run into those traitors." Feng Er was ready to get up and contact the remaining team leaders for a meeting .

At this time, there was a rapid knock on the door in the peaceful courtyard. The sound was rapid and brutal. Zhou Tong and the others got up instantly and put their hands on the handle of the knife.
