Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 406 Qiancheng

Zhu Yousong proposed to Dorgon the plan of exchanging men for women, which really made the smart Ma Jinhua guess right. Zhu Yousong intended Fan Wencheng to do this, and used it as a tactic to delay the army, so as to wait for He Zhaoxiong, an elite naval force in the south of the Yangtze River. .

Zhu Yousong gave Dorgon a deadline of fifteen days. In fact, within ten days after Zhu Yousong returned to the camp, He Zhaoxiong arrived with a thousand naval elites.

An Lin, the eunuch of the Yumajian, and Zheng Damu, who accompanied him, came to see Zhu Yousong to give orders.

Zhu Yousong was overjoyed, he was waiting for He Zhaoxiong now, because the last trip to Sanhe Town, Zhu Yousong already had a plan to destroy the Daming Mansion in his mind, now everything is ready and only owes Dongfeng, He Zhaoxiong and others are his Dongfeng.

Therefore, Zhu Yousong took all the generals to pick him out of the camp gate in person.

"Father, Jiaoer misses you so much." He Xuanjiao jumped up and came over, pulling He Zhaoxiong's arm and shaking it like a child.

He Xuanjiao lost her mother's love and grew up with her father since she was a child. He Zhaoxiong was both a father and a mother. The father and daughter are very close. This is the first time they have been separated for such a long time. Therefore, He Xuanjiao acted like a child in front of her father. Be coquettish.

"Father misses you too..." He Zhaoxiong smiled openly, seeing His Majesty Zhu Yousong, He Zhaoxiong whispered to his daughter, "You will be a noble concubine from now on, so you have to be careful, according to the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, father should give you a present, why don't you return?" Not big."

He Xuanjiao flattened his mouth: "What are the three principles and five constant principles? Jiaoer is the queen mother in the sky and will always be your daughter. There is no reason for a father to salute his daughter. Go and see your majesty."

He Zhaoxiong shook his head at his daughter, then turned around and bowed to Zhu Yousong, "My minister, He Zhaoxiong, sees Your Majesty."

"Haha, old Aiqing, please excuse me." He Zhaoxiong is now not only the chief instructor of the navy battalion, but also the head of the country, but in public, he and Zhu Yousong are monarchs and ministers, and the courtesy of monarchs and ministers cannot be ignored. .

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Yousong asked about He Zhaoxiong's injury again. As soon as He Zhaoxiong waved his hand, the flesh injury had already healed.

In the Battle of Jiujiang, although the hundreds of thousands of troops of Zuo Liangyu and his son were defeated, the naval battalion of the Ming army suffered heavy losses and had to be replenished in time.

He Zhaoxiong didn't go out with Zhu Yousong these days, but he wasn't idle either. Now the naval battalion in the south of the Yangtze River has recruited another group of brave men. He is in charge of training the navy every day when he is free.

The news of Zhu Yousong's successive victories came, and the old man was overjoyed.Seeing the imperial decree, he did not dare to be negligent, and immediately selected a thousand naval elites, together with the angel officials An Lin and Zheng Damu, to capture the king.

The 1000 people brought by He Zhaoxiong were all old men from the Green Willow Villa, that is, the minion soldiers on the mountain. The Green Willow Mountain is backed by a large lake. Back then, the He family father and daughter fought against the officers and soldiers on the mountain. Father and son have been trained early.During the great victory in Poyang Lake, they made a great contribution and sent tens of thousands of sailors of Zuo Liangyu to the bottom of the lake in one fell swoop.

Zhu Yousong took He Zhaoxiong back to the camp, and the next day began to discuss specific strategies to destroy the Daming Mansion.

In the spacious imperial tent, Zhu Yousong sat in the middle, Ma Jinhua, He Xuanjiao, He Zhaoxiong, Huang Degong, Zheng Hongkui, Liu Zhaoji, Zu Keyong, Ma Bao, Zheng Damu, Li Zhushi, Ma Wannian, Zhang Huan, Lu Xiao, Zhao Fu, Fang Dongxu, etc., the generals and generals gathered together.

For the first time, Zhu Yousong made public the military information obtained from his trip to Sanhe Town. Sanhe Town is where three rivers converge to form a larger river. This river passes around the city on the northwest side of Daming Mansion. On the south bank of the river, Sanhe Town is very close to Daming Mansion, only a few miles away from crossing the river, and Zhu Yousong noticed that the moat of Daming Mansion was connected to this river, so he sent a team to pass through the river, the moat and the city by diving. The drainage system should be able to sneak into the city.Then when Zhu Yousong attacked the city, he grabbed the fort, opened the city gate, and cooperated with the inside and the outside, and the Daming Mansion was at your fingertips.

Zhu Yousong made his ideas public. He also drew a sketch of Sanhe Town and Daming Mansion, and the plan was thrown out for discussion by the ministers.

Only then did the generals sitting here know that Zhu Yousong’s trip to Sanhe Town was really unnecessary. If His Majesty said it was true, breaking the Daming Mansion would be effortless, but the crux of the problem is that instead of taking a boat from Sanhe Town, he dived into the city. , how big a deal is this?Whether people are not fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs, whether it will be successful or not depends on the abilities of He Zhaoxiong and others. If there is no battle of Poyang Lake, even Zhu Yousong would not dare to imagine this.

Everyone, including Zhu Yousong, looked at He Zhaoxiong. After He Zhaoxiong took Zhu Yousong's sketch in his hand and read it carefully, he looked up and smiled, "Your Majesty has strategized, this plan is feasible, and this matter is left to me."

With He Zhaoxiong's statement, everyone knew the truth.

"Old Aiqing shouldn't underestimate the enemy. This is just my idea. It will definitely be difficult to put it into practice. For example, we don't know anything about the situation in the city. Even if we can enter the city smoothly, we still need to pretend to be the Qing army to move easily. Otherwise, the goal of 1000 people is not small, and the early exposure will only scare the snake, once the action fails, not only will you lose the famous mansion, but Lao Aiqing and this brave man will definitely be in danger."

He Zhaoxiong nodded, "Your Majesty's words are not bad, this matter must be carefully considered."

Because of Hauge's incident, Zhu Yousong couldn't do it himself this time, but he sent several capable assistants to He Zhaoxiong. The first one was Li Quan.The second one is the chivalrous girl Liu Chunhong who promised Li Quan with her body. Although she was born in a humble background, she was He Xuanjiao's maid, but she learned all kinds of skills from the He family's father and daughter, especially in the water. The teacher in the division has been promoted to Qianhu, but she has been by Zhu Yousong's side, fighting with her beloved Li Quan.He has repeatedly made military exploits, especially in the Battle of Luoyang, Tong Yangjia pretended to be a Shaolin monk and sneaked into the city to attack Zhu Yousong's temporary palace. The plot almost succeeded, and both Li Quan and Liu Chunhong were injured in that battle.

He Xuanjiao felt sorry for his father, and volunteered to act together, and Zhu Yousong also agreed.He Xuanjiao's most outstanding ability is in the water, and she has to do it herself, so she is undoubtedly He Zhaoxiong's most capable helper.

After the personnel are settled, there is another problem, that is, when they sneak into the city, they do not act immediately, but must first find out the situation in the city before they can attack. Army uniforms must be available, and common language must be mastered.

It is definitely too late to order clothes, but fortunately, this is not a problem. After so many victories, the captured spoils have piled up in the mountains. It is not difficult to find a batch of Qing army clothes in the inventory. Ma Bao is responsible for the language. The surrendered general was once the confidant of Wu Sangui's subordinates. He had dealt with the Tartars for a long time, and asked him to teach He Zhaoxiong and other common languages.

After everything was ready, He Zhaoxiong and other four generals set off with a thousand warriors.
