Chapter 143: Dedication to the City
"General," a chubby middle-aged man called to the inside of the house outside the window of the government office, "General with the surname of the country." ”
Zheng Chenggong hurriedly approached the window, saw the person's appearance clearly by the moonlight, and glanced at the guards in the distance, and said in surprise: "Grandpa Bai, why are you here?" "It is the eunuch Bai Daqi who served Empress Zeng this time.
"I promised those guards benefits, and it was not difficult to come in after only a few words." Bai Gonggong said again, "The general is confused, how can he be so honest?" ”
"Honest? What is the truth? ”
Bai Daqi cautiously looked around and lowered his voice, "This afternoon, Chang Yongnian told the queen that you want to pretend to ambush the thieves who attacked the city, but in fact you will help the captives enter the city. The queen is to keep you safe, so she has imprisoned you. ”
"A faction of Hu ......" Zheng Chenggong was just about to be angry, but then he thought that there were not a few people who doubted him recently, and it was normal for Chang Yongnian to be suspicious of himself, so he sighed and calmed down.
"I see that Her Royal Highness the Queen didn't fully believe him, otherwise how could he only be confined to the government?" The eunuch comforted him and said, "After two days, when the queen's mood is more stable, I will say some good things to the general, or I will let you out." ”
Zheng Chenggong said gratefully: "There is a lot of trouble from the labor father. ”
"What did the general say, if it wasn't for the general who led someone to find the jade bi last year, I would have been broken as a thief." Father-in-law Bai waved his hand and said, "Ming'er, I will bring food to the general again." ”
"Father-in-law, don't bother, it's still full of food here." Zheng Chenggong thought for a while and said, "Can I bother Father-in-law Bai to help me give a word to Mr. Lin Lian of the Dragon Guard Army, and ask him to carefully patrol the city gates." During my captivity, he was in charge of these Dragon Guards. ”
"Don't worry, general, I'll definitely bring the words."
The next day and near dusk, Bai Daqi went to the window of the official's house, called Zheng Chenggong twice, and handed a box of food in.
"Father-in-law Bai can see Mr. Lin Lian?"
The eunuch nodded and said, "I saw it, but Lord Lin said that the Dragon Guard Army was transferred by Chang Yongnian to guard the north gate, and he also sent four hundred soldiers to station next to them." It is impossible to go to other places to patrol the city as you command. ”
Zheng Chenggong couldn't help frowning when he heard this, talking about the elite, there is no one on the right side of the Dragon Guard in Changting City, why do they gather at the north gate? And sent another 400 people with them?
He looked at Bai Daqi, "So, at the moment, nearly half of the troops in the city are at the north gate?" ”
Bai Gonggong nodded and said: "Oh, by the way, guards have also been sent around the palace today, and the defenders in Changting City have been transferred to protect the queen and His Royal Highness the prince." ”
Zheng Chenggong became more and more puzzled, "In this way, except for the north gate, there are only about 600 soldiers left in the other places, isn't this a danger?!" ”
Why did Chang Yongnian arrange his military forces like this? Zheng Chenggong was suddenly stunned, and strung together the things before and after - first he was imprisoned for his slander, and then the Dragon Guard was transferred, and then the troops defending the city were weakened......
A bad premonition came to his heart, no, there must be something wrong here!
He bowed his hand to Bai Daqi and said: "Father-in-law Bai, please go to Jiang Zhengxi Jiang's general army, only tell him that the current city defense force is only six hundred, and he must have his own opinions." ”
Zheng Chenggong saw Bai Daqi nodding, and immediately remembered that Jiang Zhengxi was seriously injured, if things were really as he expected, I am afraid it would not be easy to see him, so he ordered: "Father-in-law should bring some good ginseng, just to visit the sick." If it is really impossible to see it, it may be possible to let the old Huangge pass it on from generation to generation. ”
Zheng Chenggong thought about it, but still felt that it was inappropriate, and said: "My father-in-law still needs to inform Mr. Lin Lian, and ask him to secretly divide some people to come out and keep an eye on the city gates day and night, especially the south gate." If there is anything unusual, let me know it. ”
Bai Daqi was surprised: "Could it be that something big is going to happen?" ”
Zheng Chenggong lowered his eyes and said: "It's hard to say at the moment, I hope I guessed wrong." ”
The eunuch nodded and said, "I can save it, so I'll do it." ”
"It's all up to Grandpa Bai."
Nushan sharpened a piece of jerky with a dagger and threw it into his mouth, and with a wave of his hand, the dagger stabbed forward.
The man kneeling in front of him was so frightened that he closed his eyes so hard that he dared to open them for a while, only to see the tip of the knife stop at a distance of only half an inch from his neck.
"What perennial?" Nushan squinted at him and said coldly, "You dare to lie to me?!" ”
"The villain doesn't dare!" The man swallowed hard and spit, and said in a trembling voice, "My family general Chang has admired the Qing Dynasty for a long time, and he is in charge of all the things that Changting City should be guarded this time, as long as you lead the army to arrive, ensure that the city gate will be opened." ”
"Are you true?"
"A small oath, every word is true!"
"Haha!" Nu Shan laughed, took the dagger and helped him up, and symbolically patted the dust on his body, "I'm just joking with you, don't be afraid." I ask you, is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty really dead? ”
The man nodded again and again, "It's true, it's just that Huang Daozhou ordered the news to be blocked, and it hasn't been spread yet." But listening to our general, the queen was scared and fainted. ”
"Damn!" Hearing this, Nu Shan scolded angrily, this Emperor Nanming must have been robbed by Li Chengdong or Durd! He's still slow to start.
But he then thought that his luck was not too bad, at least there was a prince of Nanming, and if he took Changting City by the way, Prince Ying would be able to explain it.
He asked Chang Yongnian's henchman again: "How many Ming troops are there in Changting City?" ”
"There are more than 1,000 people under the command of our general, and there are 300 defenders in the city, and 200 cavalry of King Chen."
Nu Shan nodded, if this Chang Yongnian really surrendered, there were only five hundred troops left, and with his understanding of the Ming army, this person was not his opponent at all.
He looked in the direction of Changting, even if the surnamed Chang couldn't restrain his subordinates, as long as he could open the city gate and let him in, with the essence of his subordinates, even if there were thousands of Ming troops, he would not pay attention to it.
The next night. Ugly time.
Chang Yongnian stood anxiously at the head of the city, constantly looking out.
Although he had already made arrangements, this risky act of treason and defection to the enemy still made him anxious.
"General, here!" On the side, Ma Zhong pointed to the city and shouted.
Chang Yongnian immediately saw two torches suddenly lit up outside the south gate of Changting City, and the firelight flashed three times in succession, which was the secret signal he agreed with the Nushan Department of the Qing Army!
His heart beat violently, and he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to reply to the letter, and then took Ma Zhong and hurriedly walked down the city.
When he arrived at the city gate, Chang Yongnian ordered several henchmen to move the huge door bar, and someone pushed the city gate open a crack.
Ma Zhong flashed out of the city, and a team of people on the opposite side could be vaguely seen across the moat, and then said to the agreed code, turned back to Chang Yongnian and said: "General, that's right!" ”
Soon, someone lowered the heavy drawbridge, and someone slowly opened the gate to the maximum.
Chang Yongnian hurriedly greeted him outside the city in person, bowed respectfully and said, "The last general, Chang Yongnian, has seen Lord Jialazhangjing. ”
