Near Longtan Town in the eastern suburbs of Nanjing, there are military tents of the Zhejiang army, countless soldiers and soldiers pass through the camps, and there are also cruising Zhejiang army warships on the river.Nearly 70,000 Zhejiang troops were stationed on the edge of the Yangtze River, with a company camp of ten miles, and the army was magnificent.On the north bank of the Yangtze River, Zhang Mingzhen commanded the Yangzhou Zhejiang Army, took the initiative to attack, attacked Jiujiangkou, Yizheng and other places, and the rumbling cannon sound faintly came from the north bank to the south bank.At this time, from Zhu Yujian to the soldiers and generals on the front line, all of them did not dare to be aggrieved.The Longwu Imperial Court mobilized 300,000 troops in Nanzhili, twice the strength of the Zhejiang army, and should have an advantage, but now it is approaching the capital by the Zhejiang army.This made Zhu Yujian and the officers and men on the front line feel humiliated, and their morale suffered a serious blow.However, after all, there were more soldiers and horses in the Longwu court than the Zhejiang army, and the advantage in numbers still played a role.Zhu Yujian ordered Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi and other fierce generals to garrison outside the city and take the initiative to resist the Zhejiang army, so that although the Zhejiang army was close to Nanjing, it could not threaten Nanjing for a while.At this time, Zhao Ming's 70,000 army was stationed in the eastern suburbs of Nanjing, Liu Fangliang and others guarded Nanjing, and Li Laiheng and Yuan Zongdi were stationed on the two wings of the eastern suburbs.If Zhao Ming enters the city, he will be attacked by the officials and troops inside and outside the city, and attack the garrison outside the city, Li Laiheng and others will not fight a decisive battle with Zhao Ming, and the artillery of the Zhejiang army has not been set up yet, and the officers and troops have moved to other places.70,000 Zhejiang troops, most of which are newly annexed and reorganized troops, less than 30,000 elite soldiers in Donghai Town, plus according to the information transmitted by the detailed work, Azig gathered heavy troops in Xuzhou, which seemed to have the intention of taking advantage of the fire to rob, so that Zhao Ming did not dare to attack Nanjing directly.After Zhu Yujian sent the generals of his subordinates, the situation near Nanjing was at a stalemate.At this time, near Longtan Town, a team of Zhejiang soldiers and soldiers spied west along the Yangtze River, trying to find out where Li Laiheng's 6,000 elite cavalry were stationed.Li Laiheng fought bravely, followed Du Yinxi on the Huguang battlefield, made many achievements, and was a fierce general in the Longwu Dynasty.After Zhao Ming arrived in the eastern suburbs of Nanjing, he wanted to directly enter the city of Nanjing, but he was attacked by Li Laiheng's cavalry.At that time, Li Laiheng only had 6,000 horsemen, so he dared to rush straight to Zhao Ming's 70,000 army, and in the Zhejiang army, he killed two back and forth, and killed more than 1,000 Zhejiang troops before leaving.Of course, Li Laiheng's raid was not Zhao Ming's own formation, but the newly attached army on the periphery, coupled with the battle in Jiangbei, Donghai Town's elite cavalry was exhausted, so as long as Li Laiheng did not come to attack the hollow array of Donghai Town, it would be difficult for Zhao Ming to leave this strong general.After Li Laiheng raided Zhao Ming, Zhao Ming could only choose to camp in Longtan Town and send scouts to investigate, intending to defeat Li Laiheng's cavalry first.However, unlike He Tengjiao and his subordinates, Li Laiheng and other generals of the Shun army have been fighting since the Chongzhen period, and their war experience is not comparable to Liu Chengyin and others, so it is naturally not easy to deal with.Li Laiheng knew that the strength of the cavalry lay in the ability to maneuver and raid, so after the raid on Zhao Ming, he took 6,000 cavalry around Nanjing, not giving Zhao Ming a chance to annihilate him at all.At this time, thirty miles west of Longtan Town, in the woods, there were seven or eight figures dodging.Yang Zhenwei brushed aside the branches and saw that on the path outside the woods, a general wearing fish scale armor, riding a tall horse, holding a glaive knife, leading more than a thousand cavalry, walked slowly, and looked around vigilantly from time to time."
It's Lee Rae-hyung!
This guy is going south, trying to go around behind us!
”Liu Qian, who was hiding behind the trunk of the tree, said in a deep voice.Yang Zhenwei nodded and said to Liu Qian: "Liu Qian, you take the brothers back to report the news first, and I will stay and continue to monitor!"
”Liu Qian frowned, "How can this be done, it's too dangerous for you to be alone, I'll stay and take care of it." ”Yang Zhenwei insisted: "There are many people, but it is easy to be discovered, and a certain border army does not accept himself at night, and it is safer for a person!"
”Yang Zhenwei is the chief after all, Liu Qian saw that he insisted, so he could only take the order, turned around and beckoned: "Everyone follow me back to the camp!"
”At that moment, Liu Qian led a few men to quietly retreat into the woods, and in the depths of the forest, he took out the war horses and headed towards the camp.After Yang Zhenwei waited for Liu Qian and others to leave, he left the woods without leading the horse, but he did not follow Li Laiheng's department, but walked west along the riverside, and when he arrived outside Caozhuang, he saw that there was no one around, and immediately took out a secret letter from his arms, buried it under a big tree, and quietly left.As soon as he left, Liu Qian suddenly appeared, turned around under the big tree, found the clue, took out the secret letter from under the stone, unfolded it and looked at it, his expression changed, and he hurriedly left.At dusk, the sentry released returned to the camp one after another, Yang Zhenwei galloped to the camp gate, turned over and dismounted, showed his waist card, and entered the camp.At this time, he put the war horse back into the stable, and then returned to the tent, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes immediately cast over the tent.Liu Qian sneered: "Raise your head, if you don't go to track Li Laiheng, how can you come back?"
”Yang Zhenwei saw everyone's eyes, his heart sank, and he realized that the atmosphere was wrong, but he still said calmly: "Don't mention it, Li Laiheng is very vigilant, and after following for a while, he lost it!"
”Liu Qian sneered: "I'm afraid I didn't track Li Laiheng at all, but went somewhere else!"
”Yang Zhenwei's expression changed greatly, "Liu Qian, what do you mean?"
”They are all brothers who escaped from Shanxi, usually with each other, they don't talk like this at all, Yang Zhenwei unconsciously took a step back, put his hand on the hilt of the knife, only to find that Liu Qian and the others were also holding the hilt."
What do you mean, you know it yourself!"
A voice sounded from behind, and I saw a hundred household officials wearing armor and armbands, leading a team of soldiers to pick up tents and come in, blocking Yang Zhenwei's retreat.The Baihu official snorted coldly, waved his hand and shouted, "Take it away!"
”Yang Zhenwei faced the gendarmes, as well as Liu Qian and others in the tent, he didn't dare to resist at all, knowing that his identity was exposed, he could only be arrested.The gendarmerie team of the Zhenfu Division conducted a preliminary trial of Yang Zhenwei, because the gendarmes mainly focused on military discipline and were not responsible for dealing with meticulous work, so Yang Zhenwei was handed over to the Military Intelligence Department.The Military Intelligence Department is a spy agency under Zhao Ming, and its functions are similar to those of the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Guard, and even a group of Jinyi Guards have been incorporated into it, and they are good at patrolling to extract confessions.After entering the Military Intelligence Division, Yang Zhenwei immediately confessed that at the beginning of the Ming and Qing Dynasty peace negotiations, a large number of rebels in the north who finally returned to the Ming Dynasty retreated south according to the agreement, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty took the opportunity to plant a lot of fine works in it, so that they lurked in the Southern Ming Dynasty to spy on the intelligence of the Ming Dynasty, and Donghai Town, as a strong enemy of the Manchu Dynasty, was naturally the focus of spying.Yang Zhenwei was one of the meticulous works that went south, and he took the initiative to enlist and join Donghai Town to deliver information to the Manchus.In Longtan Town, King Wu Yue temporarily walked outside, and the guards stood outside the door with spears in their hands.At this time, Liu Si of the Military Intelligence Department, most of them entered the line and came to the festival hall.Zhao Ming was standing with his hands in his hands, and Liu Si hugged his fists and bowed, "Your Highness, there is something to report for your humble duties!"
”Zhao Ming retracted his thoughts, turned around, and asked, "What's the matter?"
”Liu Sidao: "Back to His Royal Highness, I caught a Manchu Qing in the army." ”Zhao Ming's brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but wonder, "Manchu Qing meticulously?"
”Liu Si was about to speak, but there was a sudden commotion outside the festival hall, and Zhao Ming couldn't help but say unhappily: "What's the matter?"
”The commander of the guards hurried in, "Your Highness, Jiangbei is in flames, I don't know what happened?"
