At night, the city of Suzhou is dark, the people are panicked, the door of the house is closed before dark, the city is silent, only in the government prison, from time to time there are inhuman screams.The autumn rain is falling, at the water gate, the Qing soldiers on duty are standing still in their robes, in the city gate building, the dim oil lamps are flickering, and the window paper is printed with black shadows, which are gathering together, and from time to time there is a burst of laughter and scolding.In the north of Suzhou, on the waterway outside the water gate, a fleet of ships drove slowly over.Zhao Ming and Hu Weizong stood at the bow of the ship wearing robes and hats, and the heroes in the cabin, their bodies against the bulkhead, holding weapons in their hands, raised their heads one by one, staring at the deck overhead, as if they could see through the plank."
Who?"
On the water gate, the Qing army on duty found the moving fleet and suddenly shouted.The Qing soldiers who were gambling in the city gate tower heard the movement and immediately poured out with weapons.When the fleet arrived at the city, Zhao Ming pressed the handle of the knife and replied loudly: "Our own people, we are transporting grain!"
The rain is too heavy, brothers, open the gates and let us in!"
”A general in the city frowned, and by the light of the fire, he saw the big ship below, "Is there a certificate?"
”Zhao Ming said loudly: "Naturally!
The food is getting wet, hurry up and open the door!
”After speaking, Zhao Ming waved his hand, the soldier handed over a document, the city head hung down the spider plant, pulled the things up, took the general manager, retreated to the city tower and opened the oilcloth to look at it.There is no problem with the paperwork, it was brought by Li Yuanyin, and it is genuine.The Qing army collected grain everywhere and stationed it in Suzhou, ready to supply the Duoduo army, Zhao Ming had regular procedures, and he did not doubt it, but he did not have the right to open the city, so he hurriedly said to a person: "You go and inform the marshal quickly!"
”Zhao Ming said that he wanted to transport grain into the city, and the Qing soldiers guarding the water gate couldn't make up their minds, so the head of the general hurriedly ordered one person to go to report it, and then shouted to the city: "Brothers, wait a minute!"
”Zhao Ming replied loudly: "It's okay!
”He was very nervous, and the cabin was crowded with soldiers, and he didn't dare to come out.In this adventure, the lone army went deep, and if it didn't work, it became the bag of the Qing army.At this time, a Qing soldier left in a hurry and trotted forward to report, and on the street where others were walking, suddenly a black shadow flashed out of the alley and dragged the soldier into the dark place.Not long after, a group of Qing troops wearing robes and hats drove over.The leader always saw the people and horses coming over, was slightly stunned, and asked from afar, "Which part?"
”"It's me, Li Yuanyin!"
Li Yuanyin, who was wearing armor, pressed the knife and walked over with a calm face.It was Li Bu's soldiers who were stationed at the Water Gate, and when he saw Li Yuanyin coming over, he wondered in his heart, didn't the marshal relieve him of his military power and let him think about it behind closed doors?
However, he hurried down the tower and came to greet him."
Major General, this is!"
Always busy clasping fists and laughing.Li Yuanyin waved his hand and said, "Father heard that the food has arrived, let me come over and have a look!"
”As he spoke, he glanced outside the water gate and said to the general manager: "Open the door!"
”The general nodded and bowed, and was about to give an order, when he suddenly asked, "The major general can bring a warrant!"
”"Daring, do I still need a warrant?"
Li Yuanyin was furious, and he staggered with a slap."
How does the major general beat people!"
He covered his face with a look of disbelief."
Beat you, I'm going to kill you, the food is wet, can you afford to pay for it!"
Li Yuanyin waved his hand, and more than a dozen soldiers came up, holding spears and forcing the general into a corner.The Qing army in Watergate was stunned, what happened to their own major general?
He always knew that it was wrong, but he didn't dare to say anything.Li Yuanyin immediately waved his hand, "Open the door!"
”The general subordinates did not move, and Li Yuanyin's subordinates stepped forward in an uproar, turned the winch, and the water gate was immediately pulled up, and then quickly took over the defense of the water gate.The mast of the ship had already been lowered, and the boatman held the bamboo pole, rowed the boat into the water gate, and leaned to the dock in the city, and Hu Weizong on the boat ordered: "Go ashore." ”The cargo ship came slowly, entered the city, the hatch opened, five hundred strong men rushed out, quickly lined up, Zhao Ming came over, shook hands with Li Yuanyin eagerly, and then looked around at the fierce faces under the hats, and did not say anything: "Brothers, the success is tonight, do it!"
”Li Yuanyin said: "There are many Qing soldiers in the city, and the thief will capture the king first, otherwise the Qing soldiers in the city will be mobilized, and the matter will inevitably fail!"
”Zhao Ming said: "Brother Hu will go with you to attack the yamen of the state capital, capture Nikan, and I will persuade General Li!"
”…… Five hundred strong men, plus more than 100 subordinates of Li Yuanyin, a total of 600 people, divided into two units and drove to the city.The strong men dressed as Li Bu's soldiers lined up in a line, walking on the streets, and met a guard on the road, who hid far away, and did not dare to ask at all."
Where are General Lee's men going?"
An old servant muttered to himself.A person next to him said: "Recently, there has been a lot of trouble on Taihu Lake, and the movement of people and horses is very frequent. ”"It's not right, it's tight outside the city, why go inside!"
Another humane.The old servant's face suddenly changed, "It's not good, go home quickly!"
”~~~~~~ sky was raining, the streets were silent, there was no one on the streets, and there was no trace of the Qing army patrols.Suzhou is a big city, and there are thousands of Qing troops and Qing Belenikan sitting in the town, no one thought that the righteous army ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and actually dared to touch into Suzhou City.Although the rebels entered the city, the situation was not optimistic, Li Yuanyin and Hu Weizong went straight to the yamen of the state capital with more than 400 people, and Zhao Ming took nearly 200 people to solve the garrison in the city and force Li Chengdong to do it anyway.Recently, Li Chengdong has not been doing well, first Bei Zitunqi was killed under his nose, Bolo asked him to make meritorious service and encircle and suppress the Taihu Righteous Army, but he was ambushed with the sailor and lost hundreds of elite soldiers.The continuous failures made Nikan have a lot of opinions about Li Chengdong, from the general soldier to the general, and this is not over, it is estimated that it will not be long, and he has to continue to work.~~~~~~ outside Li Chengdong's mansion, the soldiers guarding the door stood up straight.At this time, the autumn rain gradually stopped, a team of Qing soldiers, came to the front of the house, a general wearing armor, wearing a phoenix-winged helmet, according to the sword, very majestic!"
Salute!"
Behind the general, an officer suddenly shouted loudly.Before the soldier in front of the door could understand it, he subconsciously saluted on one knee, and the general raised his right hand, waved, and entered the door directly.The soldier at the door was puzzled for a while, just came back to his senses, stretched out his hand and scolded, "You can't break in~" Before he finished speaking, a sharp knife passed through his chest, Wang Deshun waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him dragged the corpses of several Qing soldiers on duty to the side, and then stood with spears and took over the post of the Qing army.Zhao Ming pressed the war knife in his hand, and there was a noisy footstep behind him, and more than a hundred subordinates rushed into Li Chengdong's mansion.()
