1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 3170
This wait lasted for one year, during which the Donghai Region continued to advance the relocation of the capital, and even started large-scale infrastructure transformation of Hangzhou City.

Seeing that the raw rice was about to be cooked, Zhu Zhongyun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and wrote to the court many times, requesting that the plan be implemented as soon as possible to interrupt Haihan's move to move the capital.

However, the cabinet always believed that the time was not yet ripe, and sent back his memorial every time, asking him to continue to wait patiently.

Finally, Jin Yiwei received the news that the executive committee of Haihan will visit Hangzhou collectively at the end of March in the Haihan calendar, and it is very likely to announce the decision to move the capital during this period. Opportunity.

These high-ranking officials of the Haihan Executive Committee have always lived in seclusion and rarely left Sanya. Occasionally they go out for inspections and often travel individually, and it is rare for them to go out in groups.

Zhu Zhongyun thought that if he could launch a surprise attack when the executive committee arrived in Hangzhou, there might be a chance to severely injure senior Haihan officials.

If the executive committee can kill or injure a few people, then according to the laws of history, there will be chaos in the Haihan dynasty.At that time, the army will launch a large-scale counter-offensive, and it seems that it is not impossible to regain Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

After the senior cabinet officials got the news, they also believed that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but Zhu Zhongyun claimed that all preparations were in place, and he was more confident of success than a year ago.So the emperor personally made the decision and ordered Zhu Zhongyun to sneak into Hangzhou to take the opportunity.

Zhu Zhongyun and several teams of assassins led by Zhu Zhongyun quietly moved into the city of Hangzhou and hibernated. At the same time, he also notified the merchants who provided weapons, asking them to transport the required rifles and ammunition to Hangzhou as soon as possible.

It's just that after these weapons arrived in Hangzhou, Zhu Zhongyun had to figure out how to transport them into the city through interrogation.

But fortunately, Wang Yuan, who took advantage of him, did not disappoint him. He miraculously passed the interrogation at the gate of the city and brought these weapons into the city.

Since the teams acted separately, and Zhu Zhongyun and the others didn't dare to go out to show their faces at this time, he didn't know that Wang Yuan had turned his back on the water, which led to the reveal of the plan, and one of the teams had been wiped out by Hai Han.

But even if he knew, Zhu Zhongyun would not stop the action at this time.Now the arrow is on the string and has to be launched. If this opportunity is missed, there may be no chance of a comeback in the future.

Zhu Zhongyun has been studying the map of Hangzhou City with his subordinates today. If the route of the executive committee to enter the city is consistent with the intelligence, and enters the city from the nearby Qingchun Gate, then the place he bought half a year in advance is exactly the place he must pass through. road.

Although this property is not facing the street, it has a three-story attic. The windows on the top floor can just overlook the street that enters the city from the Qingchun Gate. The straight-line distance may be twenty or thirty feet away.

In case this stronghold fails to activate for some reason, there is still a chance for the other teams to hide in the city's hiding place, but the environment for doing it may not be so safe.

However, Zhu Zhongyun was convinced that with the performance of the rifles at hand, he would be able to succeed in one hit tomorrow.

In the previous training, those old guns that were about to be scrapped were all very good at a distance of thirty or forty feet.

Although the guns sent this time cannot be tested temporarily due to the environment, after careful inspection, it can be confirmed that the maintenance of these guns is obviously much better than the old assembled guns before.

And the other party said that these guns are active equipment directly from the army's arsenal, and they have all been calibrated in advance to ensure that they can hit a hundred shots.The attached ammunition was produced just a few months ago, and there will never be any duds.

Although the purchase of these weapons used up a considerable part of Zhu Zhongyun's budget at hand, it really hurt him, and he was worried whether the other party would be able to deliver the goods as promised.But these weapons were finally delivered to Hangzhou in time, and the quality seemed to be not bad, so the money was well spent.

As long as the executive committee shows up on the avenue outside tomorrow, the probability of success is extremely high.But how to get out of the chaos after the attack, everyone still has to think about it.

"Brothers, there will be tens of thousands of people watching on the streets tomorrow. After the attack, there will be chaos. A large number of people will flock to Qingchun Gate, blocking the Haihan army who came to reinforce the city gate."

"At that time, we will go to the south of the city separately according to the plan, try our best to get out before the city is closed, and leave Hangzhou by boat on the riverside. If we can't get out, we will use our respective identities to hide in the city for a few days, waiting for the limelight After that, try to get out of the city."

"The imperial court has prepared generous rewards for you all. After tomorrow, you will all be members of Jinyiwei. Anyone who can kill the bandit leader of Haihan will be granted a marquis by the imperial court and rewarded with a lot of money!"

"I will serve the imperial court, kill the enemy and make meritorious service, so this is the battle!"

After hearing Zhu Zhongyun's encouragement, everyone was excited.For these participants, this is an excellent opportunity for them to change their destiny.As long as one strike is successful tomorrow and he can escape from the city smoothly, the glory and wealth of the rest of his life will be within his grasp.

But just as twilight came, the streets outside suddenly became noisy.

The watchman in the attic came to report that there were suddenly a lot of armed Haihan soldiers on the street outside, and it seemed that martial law was being enforced.

Zhu Zhongyun was not in the slightest panic: "Tomorrow the high-ranking officials of Haihan will enter the city from here, and the army will check the houses along the way in advance. This is perfectly normal. My Emperor Ming will also take similar measures when he travels to inspect places. Don't worry, this is not aimed at us. .”

"However, we have an attic here, and someone may come to check it later, so let's split up and get ready!"

Sure enough, not long after, a government servant led seven or eight Haihan soldiers knocked on the door.

Zhu Zhongyun's place has been arranged for a long time. After taking over this property, he arranged for someone to live here as the head of the household, specially dealing with the government and the surrounding people.

At that moment, Zhu Zhongyun and others hid in the dark, and the head of the household came forward to welcome the government servants and Haihan soldiers in, and showed them to inspect the property.Of course, the conspicuous attic will not be let go.

After the team inspected the attic, they gathered together and muttered a few words, and then put a seal on the outside of the attic door in the name of safety, preventing the head of the household from entering within three days, and heavy fines would be imposed if violations were made.

Zhu Zhongyun originally expected that the other party might leave a few people to guard the attic, and he had already planned to wait until midnight to kill people, but who knew that the other party just put a symbolic seal on it and it was over.

At best, this kind of measure can only scare the honest ordinary people, but it is completely ineffective for Zhu Zhongyun.

Not to mention just pasting a few seals on the door, even a few iron locks can't stop him from using this attic as a condescending shooting point.
