Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 182 Let Liu Zeqing go out of the city to meet him
Zhu Yousong immediately divided his troops and dispatched generals, and selected 500 soldiers to re-form the imperial envoy team. The [-] people were mainly those soldiers brought over from the capital. The imperial envoy, Li Huajing escorted him.

Let He Zhaoxiong stay to take care of the cottage, and give him a special task. In addition to the 2000 elite soldiers that Zhu Yousong took away, there are now more than 7000 Zhuang soldiers on the mountain, and there are hundreds of Suzhou soldiers, as well as Li Huajing. Of the [-] Huaian soldiers who had just surrendered to the imperial court, there were still more than [-] in total. Zhu Yousong asked him to disrupt the formation of more than [-] people in the name of reorganization to form a new battle order.

This work must be completed within one day, and it is not a trivial matter to reorganize 7000 people in one day. Zhu Yousong told him a shortcut. This shortcut was a trick he had used to recruit Gao Jie's followers, and practice proved to be effective. , This is also his experience. Specifically, all the original military leaders will stay in their posts and not take charge of the army.As for how to make it up, the old man has the final say based on his experience in managing the cottage.

Zhu Yousong asked He Zhaoxiong if he had any difficulties. The old man knew Zhu Yousong's intentions in doing this. The five thousand Huai'an soldiers had just surrendered. He was afraid that they would change their minds midway, or that someone with two hearts would obstruct them and ruin the big event, so he pulled out his chest : "Your Majesty, if you can't even do this, the owner of the villa for so long will be in vain, and you don't deserve to be called an iron-armed dragon. Don't worry about 1 people, and play with these thousands of people according to your majesty's wishes for a long time. It can be completed, and all the leading soldiers at Jieshi will be the generals of the villa, that is, the old cronies, there will be no mistakes."

Zhu Yousong nodded approvingly.

Seeing that Li Huajing and the others were not in front of him, the old man leaned over and lowered his voice, not without worry: "Your Majesty, this trip to Huai'an is extraordinary. Although the old man and Li Huajing have a deep friendship, they know each other well but don't know their hearts. Loyalty will keep him alive and let him serve the court, but people are subject to change. I dare not guarantee that he will always be loyal to His Majesty. If there is one in thousands of miles, the consequences will be unimaginable. Should Your Majesty bring more people? 500 people are too few It's..."

Zhu Yousong interrupted him confidently, "It's okay, I know it well, if this person is really a repeat person, I will take his life at any time. After simply reorganizing the troops, the old man will have to leave tomorrow night at the latest , all 7000 people rushed to Huai'an with two heavy artillery horses to meet me, and the Qin King's divisions from all over the country will arrive within two days."

He Zhaoxiong straightened his chest and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this old man promises that nothing will be delayed."

"Old man, you have to change your address from now on." Zhu Yousong nodded and corrected him.

"Yes, my lord." He Zhaoxiong saluted politely. Don't look at this as the future son-in-law, but he is an emperor. No matter when he is a king, he can only be a minister. This will make him behind the door It is very clear, and I dare not presume in the slightest.

At this time, He Xuanjiao came over silently with affection, blushing and wanted to escort Zhu Yousong into Huai'an, and the old man also agreed, saying that this girl is good at skills, and bringing Xiao Hong with her will definitely help Zhu Yousong.

Zhu Yousong was very touched, it was a day of kindness for husband and wife, but he still rejected the kindness of their father and daughter, and asked her to stay and assist He Zhaoxiong in reorganizing the army, and then follow his father to rescue King Qin tomorrow night.

After the plan was finalized, Zhu Yousong decided to set off at midnight tonight.

There are still a few hours before the action time. Zhu Yousong returned to his room and lay down to rest until the second watch. After getting up, he ate something, and then put on makeup with Li Quan. At the third watch, Liu Zhaoji took two The imperial doctor led five hundred soldiers down the mountain.

Li Huajing, who is wearing a helmet and armor, sits on the oolong horse, with a big iron knife hanging from the hook of the bird's wings, and walks side by side with Liu Zhaoji. His role in this scene is apparently to accompany Liu Zhaoji, the imperial envoy, into Huai'an. In fact, it is to protect Zhu Yousong's safety and use his status as Deputy General Liu Zeqing to clear roadblocks.Zhu Yousong and Li Quan sat on horseback and followed them, followed by five hundred soldiers.

Zhu Yousong saw that Li Huajing was indeed a bit majestic, especially his outfit was a bit like Zheng Hongkui, and he thought to himself, after Liu Zeqing is eradicated, I will not treat him badly.

He Zhaoxiong took his daughter He Xuanjiao, maid Xiaohong, and the big and small leaders of the mountain to see him off. Zhu Yousong told them to keep the secret, and then Liu Zhaoji shouted: "Leave the team!"

More than five hundred people went down the mountain quietly.

Against the starry sky, a slight night breeze blows.Zhu Yousong and others came in the direction of Huai'an, and the surroundings were very quiet. The more than 500 people did not speak, only the crisp and messy sound of the horse's hooves being trampled hard.

After walking for more than eighty miles in one breath, it was dawn.

The team took a rest in the woods by the roadside and then continued to move forward. Along the way, Li Huajing was full of thoughts on how to get out.

Since he went down the mountain, he felt a lot more relaxed, but when he left Huai'an, he brought 500 soldiers and horses, and now he is the only commander left. He has to be careful. When he enters Huai'an, he will be completely safe. , Zhu Yousong was unable to fly, but if he accidentally showed his feet in advance, the [-] people in front of him would kill him at any time, which he knew very well.

Seeing that success is imminent, it is too worthless to lose his head, so Li Huajing was very cautious along the way, playing his dual identities as accompanying a fake imperial envoy and practicing a fake imperial doctor to the fullest, while hiding his true heart , This is actually a triple role, which is really difficult for him.

Near noon, Zhu Yousong and his ministers came to the city of Huai'an.

This is Dongcheng, and it is the opening time of the city. The city gate is wide open, and the common people and merchants come out and go in. There is a small banner near the gate of the city with dozens of soldiers on duty.

They say they are on duty, but at first glance they are all dicks, wearing their hats crookedly and glaring, looking at the older girls and daughters-in-law passing by, looking for some pretty girls to flirt with, but most of them are old, weak and sick Disabled, or flower beggars.There are also a few soldiers who will gather around to play money, shouting and drinking.

When Zhu Yousong saw this, he knew how Liu Zeqing usually leads troops, and how the military discipline is, which can be seen.

Looking at the top of the city, the flag of Ming Dynasty was still flying, and the armored soldiers standing on the crenels looked like soldiers.

When Li Huajing arrived at the gate of Huai'an City, he felt much more at ease. As soon as they entered the city, they would be done. There are 500 troops in the city. When the gate is closed, these [-] soldiers, including the Hunjun, will all be captured without any resistance. It will turn them into flesh.Take a step back and say that even if you don’t enter the city, you can’t fly. There is still an army near Huai’an, and none of the [-] people can escape!

It was also a very difficult journey. Li Huajing expressed excitedly and happily that he would advance to the city and let Liu Zeqing go out to meet the imperial envoy. Liu Zhaoji and Li Quan had no doubts that the play needed to be performed like this, but they just told him to be careful and not to leave the city to meet the imperial envoy. Liu Zeqing showed his feet in advance, so as not to suffer harm and ruin the big event.

Li Huajing reassured the second general, looked at Zhu Yousong and the others smugly, and thought to himself that you idiots are dying and don't know it, just wait!
Li Huajing thought he was about to enter the city, but Zhu Yousong said, "General Li doesn't need to enter the city, just shout out from the city, and let the guards report to Liu Zeqing to come out of the city to meet him."
