There is a space for passenger planes in the late Ming Dynasty

January 25th.

Outside Luoyang City.

Lin Feng was preparing to set off with the five thousand cavalry of the Xiaolong Guard Division. Li Xiongzhen, Song Jilie, Hong Tu, Lu Jun, and Panda came to see them off. Zhou Yuji, who had just arrived with his troops last night, also caught up.

As for the female family members such as Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan who had sent them off last night and were worried that they would cry when they came today, Lin Feng did not let them come over and arranged for a team of personal guards to escort them to Xi'an first.

"Yuji, hurry up and form the Kaifeng combat division. The next step is to capture Kaifeng City and you will lead the troops to garrison it!" Lin Feng still had high hopes for the last loyal general of the Ming Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty.

"Thank you Lord Marquis for your new appointment. I will live up to my expectations!" Zhou Yuji saluted solemnly.

"And Hong Tu and you division commanders must resolutely follow the command of Deputy General Song and strive to conquer Henan as soon as possible." Lin Feng continued.

"The general will know! Please rest assured, Mr. Hou!" Hong Tu and others replied in unison.

Lin Feng also made sufficient preparations for this raid on Nanjing City. The newly upgraded passenger plane space is filled with grain and Zhenming Army field food.

The first batch of relocation personnel from the Fugu Ordnance Factory just arrived, and they added a batch of thunder and ammunition brought from the latest production.

In addition, Lin Feng also used these few days to form a wireless communication team in the Guards Division, taught the team members step by step how to use the shortwave radio station in the aircraft space cargo hold, and wrote a simple code book.

After the training was completed, Lin Feng allocated a wireless shortwave radio station and generator, equipped with a team of confidential operators, and left them with Li Xiongzhen to go to Xi'an with him. He could report any important situations at any time.

The radio station can reach thousands of kilometers through short wave transmission, and there is no problem in communication from Xi'an to Nanjing. In this way, Lin Feng can effectively control the Zhenming Army no matter where he is.

Unfortunately, there are only four shortwave radio stations, which cannot be manufactured with the current technical level of the Zhenming Army, so Lin Feng did not equip them for Luoyang to ensure that they could be replaced if damaged.

After a few brief explanations, Lin Feng said goodbye to everyone who was seeing him off, and passed by Kaifeng Mansion, preparing to go to Nanjing via Fengyang in South Zhili.

Although Kaifeng Mansion is still under the control of the imperial court, its military strength is barely enough to defend the city. How dare they come out to intercept the large group of cavalry passing by outside the city.

Moreover, the sentry horse camp of Xiaolong Guards Division is also equipped with the latest sniper rifle developed by Zhenming Ordnance Factory, which has a long range and high accuracy. None of the enemy spies encountered along the way can escape, so no one can find out about the Guards Division. accurate news.

The Guards Division was all cavalry, and all supplies accompanying the army were transported by horse-drawn carriages, so the march was very fast and could cover about 150 miles a day.

Seven or eight days later, Lin Feng led his personal guard division and arrived near Fengyang Mansion.

Fengyang Mansion, as the birthplace of the old Zhu family and the central capital of the Ming Dynasty, originally had a respected status. However, after it was conquered by Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others, even Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral grave was dug up, and the wealthy households in the city were looted. It is still in depression to this day.

Although Fengyang did not have a city wall, it was easy to attack with the strength of the Zhenming Army. However, in order not to alarm others, Lin Feng did not attack Fengyang.

Instead, they chose to camp in the countryside forty or fifty miles away from Fengyang, and gathered the backbone to discuss arrangements for the next attack on Nanjing.

This place is still three hundred miles away from Nanjing City. If we march further, we may be discovered by the Ming army, so we must meet first.

Tan Ze, the station chief of Tingfengwei Nanjing Intelligence Station, has already rushed over. He turned out to be the station chief of Luoyang Station. Because of his outstanding ability, he was sent to Nanjing to establish an intelligence station after taking Luoyang.

In Lin Feng's tent, Deng Hao and Luo Kai of the Guard Division, Ma Ang, deputy chief of the Tingfeng Guard, Huang Hongchang of the staff who came with the army, and Tan Ze attended the meeting.

Lin Feng asked everyone to sit down on the floor and said, "Tan Ze, please tell us about the situation in Nanjing first."

"Okay, Lord Marquis. The action taken by Nanjing City against our Zhenming Group this time should be the unanimous opinion of the Nanjing officialdom. Otherwise, even if Emperor Chongzhen ordered it, they would find reasons to shirk it.

At present, Zhenming Commercial Bank, Sitong Express and Zhenming Bank of our Zhenming Group in Nanjing have all been confiscated by the government, resulting in losses of at least one million taels. This inspection was led by Yingtian Prefecture Yin Zhan Shilong, but the leaders should be Han Zanzhou, the eunuch guarding Nanjing, and Zhao Zhilong, the noble Xincheng Bo who supervised Nanjing's military affairs. Especially Zhao Zhilong, who was very greedy in the whole government, the cause of this inspection It was also his son Zhao Chengfu who fell in love with Zhenming Trading Company.

Zhao Zhilong took the lead in persuading the officials of the capital of Nanjing to lure the guarding eunuch Han Zanzhou with benefits, and reached a consensus to deal with our Zhenming Army. "Tan Zehui reported.

"How is Nanjing's current city defense? Is the defense tight? Can we sneak into the city?" Lin Feng then asked.

"Nanjing's military affairs are in charge of Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong. He is greedy for money and has no interest in military affairs. There is singing and dancing in Nanjing all day long, and no one wants to fight. If you give me two to three thousand people in the city, I can occupy the entire city of Nanjing. .

As a result, Nanjing's city defense is also very loose. Especially in the past two years, Nanzhili has not suffered any military disasters, and the officers and soldiers defending the city have become even more lax.

During the normal opening hours of the city gate during the day, as long as they were not young and strong from the brigade, there would be no problem sneaking in some people. Especially when they are disguised as caravans and given some money, they are often released without any inspection. Tan Ze continued.

"How many more manpower can our Nanjing Intelligence Station mobilize in the city? Are there any internal agents who can instigate rebellion?" Lin Feng continued to ask.

"There are now a total of eleven people in the Nanjing Intelligence Station. Deputy station chief Jiang Jiaming also controls a small gang in the city, with about fifty or sixty people. But these people can help run errands, but asking them to act as internal agents and open the city gates may not be enough. "

"Jiaming has gone to the Nanjing Intelligence Station now." Deng Hao interjected and asked. When he was in Jiazhou, he relied on the guidance of Jiang Jiaming, who was a clerk at Zhenming Store at the time, to control the Black Tiger Gang in Jiazhou City. He made great contributions to Lin Feng's capture of Jiazhou.

"Yes, Jiaming joined Tingfengwei and was later sent to Nanjing. It was he who came up with the idea of ​​controlling the gangs. This trick is very covert and very effective." Tan Ze replied.

"Of course, this move was what we used during the sneak attack on Jiazhou, and it was also his experience." Deng Hao took the opportunity to praise his old subordinate.

"I also have an impression of Jiang Jiaming. It seems that it can be used again this time in Nanjing City." Lin Feng also affirmed.

"Master Marquis, the main problem now is not to leak the news. If the city of Nanjing is aware in advance that an army is coming to attack, then the city defense must be strengthened. The city wall of Nanjing is very strong, and there are many walls. If there is a hard attack, there will still be It's difficult." Tan Ze reminded.

"Our Guards Division's five thousand troops are approaching Nanjing City together. It will definitely be difficult to hide it from the defenders. No matter how incompetent they are, they will definitely be able to beat the basic sentry horses. Even if we strangle all the sentry horses, they will still Alert the defenders.

So I considered the next step of dividing the troops. I took the front group of 300 people to go first, disguised as several caravans, broke into pieces and sneaked into Nanjing city. Huang Hongchang followed me, while Ma Ang stayed outside with Bailitong and the radio station to take charge of communication.

Luo Kai led two thousand personal guards to follow me, keeping a distance of seventy or eighty miles, trying to avoid attracting the attention of the Nanjing defenders.

After we were ready to capture a city gate in Nanjing, we immediately rushed over to take control of the city gate to ensure our retreat. You will also be assigned two Bailitong, so you can contact us at any time.

Deng Hao will lead the remaining main force of the Guards Division and go south from Fengyang two days later to press against Luzhou Prefecture. You can create a little momentum and use Li Chuang's banner to attract the attention of the southern Zhili garrison.

After we complete the arrangements to seize and control the city gate, you will quickly approach Nanjing from the south and enter the city at any time according to orders, or assist us in evacuation. " Lin Feng arranged after listening.

"Your Majesty, this is a very good idea. It goes hand in hand. It shouldn't be a problem for two to three hundred people to sneak into Nanjing City. There will be two thousand people later. Controlling one city gate is enough. After controlling the city gate, we can come and go freely. , even if they don’t occupy Nanjing, they will at least turn it upside down." Tan Ze praised.

"Master Marquis, everything else is fine. Is it enough for you to bring only two hundred people into the city? Do you want to send more people? Or should I follow you in?" Deng Hao asked three times worriedly.

"No, there are too many people and it's easy to be exposed. I can hide the weapons of two hundred people. It's not difficult to deal with too many people." Lin Feng said.

"Then listen to the Marquis. If there is danger, you can call us immediately." Deng Hao replied.

"Okay, the distance between our three teams must be kept good. The effective distance of Bailitong is about a hundred miles, so the distance between each other should not exceed a hundred miles to ensure the smooth transmission of information." Lin Feng finally explained.

"Understood!" Several people replied in unison.
