Chapter 394: A Surprise for Hong Chengchou

"Oh, it's Qian Qianyi." Zhu Linmiao immediately smiled.

Qian Qianyi was originally the secretary of the Hongguang Dynasty. In the past, when the Jianyu soldiers came to the city of Nanjing, his side room Liu Ru wanted to throw himself into the water with him and martyr the country. So Qian Butang jumped into the backyard pool, but immediately climbed up again, and shouted, "The water is too cold to go down." ”

In the end, this person still surrendered to Jianyu and became the courtesy attendant of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

However, according to the information that Zhu Linmiao learned from historical materials, although Qian Qianyi was a greedy person who was afraid of death, he still had some feelings for Daming. He had secretly reported to Yongli the deployment of Jianyu's troops, and persuaded Jinhua's general soldiers and horses to oppose the Qing Dynasty.

If he wants to rebel against the high-ranking officials, Zhu Linmiao feels that he should be the first choice.

Gu Yanwu also remembered Qian Qianyi's allusion to "the water is too cold", and couldn't help but give up, "When his subordinates turn around, they will send someone to contact him and try to persuade him to do it anyway." ”

Zhu Linmiao suddenly remembered that Gu Yanwu mentioned that the flintlock gun imitated by Jianyu had the problem of fire rate, so he said: "Lord Gu, I don't know how high the fire rate of the flintlock gun made by the thief is?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, it should be between five and sixty percent."

Zhu Linmiao nodded and thought for a while, and beckoned to the door: "Come on, call Governor Zheng back." ”

As soon as Zheng Guangying walked to the gate of the palace, he was called to the main hall again, and when he entered the door, he saw the auxiliary king looking at him and said, "No courtesy." You said before that there were thieves and businessmen secretly building captives? ”

"Yes."

"Then you don't have to arrest anyone." Zhu Linmiao smiled and said, "You send someone to contact them as a businessman, I have a big deal to do for them." ”

Zheng Guangying's eyes widened, "What His Highness said is true?" ”

Zhu Linmiao simply told him about Jianyu ordering Tang Ruowang to imitate the flint haircracker, and said: "Since Jianyu wants to make this thing at any cost, then we might as well help him."

"But Dolgon has to be willing to spend money, maybe he will pay for the grain and grass of the Northern Expedition."

Although Zheng Guangying didn't know what to do, he still gave up his orders, "My subordinates will do it." ”

Finally, when Chen Hongmi came to see him, it was already sunset, and he hurriedly led two people dressed as palanquin men into the main hall.

The three of them saluted, Chen Hongmian looked around, and confessed: "The matter is confidential, and I ask Your Highness to step back around." ”

Zhu Linmiao waved his hand and said, "These are all my own soldiers, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Chen Hongmi then signaled the "sedan chair man" behind him to step forward, and said: "Your Highness, these two people are the confidants of Lord Qian Sule Qian in Zhejiang, and they came with a letter of help from Lord Qian. ”

Qian Sule was a scholar of the Dongge University of King Lu's regime, and he actually sent someone to ask for help from the Taizheng Dynasty? Zhu Linmiao took the letter and opened the seal, but saw that there were only a few lines on the letter, to the effect that Qiantang was in danger, and he sent troops to save Zhejiang for the sake of His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King.

The signatures at the end of the letter include Qian Sule, Xiong Rulin, Zheng Zunqian and several others, all of whom are real power figures in the Lu Domain.

Zhu Linmiao looked at the two "sedan chair men" and raised the letter in his hand, "What does this mean?" ”

One of them knelt down and said anxiously: "Your Highness, the villain is Du Yuan, a student of the Qian Pavilion Department. It is not advisable to write too much detail on the letter of the cabinet department, but in fact, the army of the general in front of the two days was ambushed by thieves and was routed......

"Now there are only Zhang Yushi and less than 7,000 defenders left in Xiaoshan, and they are in danger."

Chen Hongmi frowned slightly when he saw the auxiliary political king, and hurriedly explained that the general Fang that this person was talking about was Fang Guoan, and Zhang Yushi was Zhang Huangyan.

Du Yuan continued: "According to the Nanjing line, the main force of the captives has left the city and moved south a few days ago, and its forward will reach the south bank of Qiantang in half a month at most. The thief must be accompanied by a cannon, and Xiaoshan will be broken at that time.

"When Xiaoshan falls, Shaoxing will not be protected, and Zhejiang will fall into the hands of thieves. Now only His Royal Highness sends troops to aid Zhejiang, can there be a glimmer of life......"

Zhu Linmiao didn't answer him, read Qian Sule's letter again, and said slowly: "The military situation is so urgent, why don't you see King Lu asking for help in person?" ”

Du Yuan knelt down and kowtowed: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, King Lu has not served the court for a long time, and he is worried that he will be punished for serious crimes, this is one of them."

"Half a month ago, Wu Shengzhao, the commander of Jianju Susong, contacted Shen Tingyang, the commander of our naval division, saying that he was suspicious of the captives, and his time was short, and he wanted to lead his troops anyway. General Fang said that with Su Song's 8,000 men and horses, and more than 1,000 rebels, they could attack their waist and abdomen when the captive army went south, and the captives would be chaotic, and then the Zhejiang army would cross the river and fight the thief army with it, and it would be broken. King Lu believed it, so he insisted on not calling himself a vassal to the south, which was the second. ”

Wu Shengzhao? Zhu Linmiao quickly remembered this person, in history, he had already been informed by Jianyu anyway, and he hadn't arrested him yet, he was waiting for his "accomplice" and Zhejiang reinforcements to show up, and then he could catch them all.

Later, before his troops were mobilized, he was captured by the Qing army's standard general Gao Yongyi, and Shen Tingyang and Zhang Mingzhen's reinforcements encountered a storm, otherwise they would have been ambushed by the Qing army.

Zhu Linmiao couldn't say that Jianyu had been wary, so he only shook his head and said: "Su Song is in the hinterland of Nanzhi, and if he wants to rely on Wu Shengzhao's thousands of men and horses to turn the tide of the war, there is really little hope. ”

Du Yuan nodded vigorously and said, "Your Highness will see it!" The Qian Pavilion Department and the Xiong Pavilion Department and others also thought the same way, but they were afraid that before Su Song could get into trouble, Zhejiang would have fallen. Please also ask Your Highness to save Zhejiang! ”

Aiding Zhejiang was originally Zhu Linmiao's established plan, but he deliberately muttered at this time: "If I block the captive army, can the Qian Pavilion Department be sure to persuade King Lu to return to the domain and abdicate?" ”

Du Yuan immediately said: "Now the court and the central government insist on the king of Lu to supervise the country is only General Fang, and now he has defeated Xiaoshan, and the prestige of the court has plummeted." If His Royal Highness can ask the Son of Heaven to issue an order not to investigate King Lu's crime of self-reliance, the cabinet is eighty percent sure that he will be able to persuade King Lu. ”

Eighty percent is not low, Zhu Linmiao nodded and said: "It's urgent, you go back immediately, and order Zhejiang to mobilize all the horses and horses, and you must hold Xiaoshan."

"I have half a month here, or eight or nine days at the least, and I can solve the danger of Qiantang."

According to the time, Zheng Chenggong's sailor should set off for the north in the near future. With the combat effectiveness of the Daming Water Division, it should not be difficult to seize control of the Qiantang River.

If the Qing army lost Qiantang, the 40,000 horses besieging Xiaoshan would be alone, and at the same time, they would immediately lose their food and grass supplies. With Zhang Huangyan's ability, in the face of such an enemy army, it is no problem to defend the city for half a year.

And the main force of Jianyu attacked by Nanjing, even if there are many men and horses, there is no boat to cross the river, so he does not want to let a soldier and a soldier land on the south bank.

This is the reason why Zhu Linmiao is absolutely sure to solve the crisis in Zhejiang. This water division, which did not exist four months ago, will give Hong Chengchou a huge surprise.

He finally said coldly: "But the ugly words are said first, if the king of Lu still does not return to the domain this time, I will lead the army to break through Shaoxing!" Let's see if your Zhejiang army is more powerful than Boluo's 70,000 horses! ”

In fact, he didn't plan to fight a civil war with King Lu at all, and if he really didn't abdicate, he would have another hand to order him to comply. But the cruel thing to say is still to be said.

Hearing this, Du Yuan hurriedly kowtowed: "Don't dare, don't dare." The cabinet will persuade King Delu to re-enshrine Taizheng Shuo! ”
