Chapter 222 August Yimao
"Sir, Zhao Tianlin and his men only ran away in six boats..."
Zhao Xin quickly ran into the Yamen, while Chen Cao was packing his things.
"Did Deng Guang take action?"
Zhao Xin nodded: "There is no problem with the official document. Cao Wenzhao and his nephew killed Zhao Tianlin's flagship. More than 300 people were stunned but they did not defeat Cao Wenzhao's two uncles and nephews. Instead, they killed many people. , Deng Guang took the opportunity to launch an attack and led his ship to bombard Zhao Tianlin's flagship. The cannons from the shore artillery camp opened fire and sank both of their ships. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Tianlin raised his sail and headed towards the open sea. Presumably He must have slipped away."
"How many ships were left?"
"About a hundred ships..."
Chen Cao pulled the Duke's python robe on his body, and then said with a smile: "Notify the whole city of Guangning to retreat. We abandon the city. In addition, let Wang Xiaojie personally escort the gold and silver to evacuate first."
"yes,"
Zhao Xin nodded: "By the way, sir, the people from Lushun have returned. With the order from the prince, Li Shaokuan and all the generals were evacuated to Songjiang Mansion. Man Gui wrote a letter asking why he suddenly abandoned Jinzhou."
"Where are the others?"
"He did not dare to disobey the imperial court's order. Now he is on a warship. He must have arrived in the Yellow Sea."
"Uncle..."
Hong Chengchou quickly walked into the Yamen: "Jiannu sent someone here."
..
Three days ago, Nanjing, Wei Guogong Mansion
"I have received the order from the capital. Everyone, please take action..."
All the lords and generals in the hall were waiting in disguise. After receiving the news, they cupped their hands towards Xu Hongji and then retreated one after another.
Xu Hongji, dressed in formal attire, looked at the leaving crowd and sighed from time to time: "Is my decision right or wrong?"
.
Nanzhen Fusi
Dong Kun was looking at the official document in his hand at this moment, and then handed it to Luo Yangxing: "Master Luo, do it..."
Luo Yangxing took a quick look and thought about the past before he stood up and let out a sigh of relief: "First detain Xu Kaixian, and then send people to surround Daming Bank and Foreign Trade Group. The people inside must not be allowed to escape;
In addition, the family members of Gao Chong, Liao Yaowen, and Han Shizhong must also be taken down, otherwise the news will get out, and the attack will be carried out after the sun sets;
Also, we must capture Xin Zhao’s family members..."
"yes..."
Xu Kaixian's governor's office was in front of Luo Yangxing, a commanding officer. Of course, he did not know the order issued by Beizhen Fusi at this moment.
"grown ups..."
A member of the household walked into Xu Kaixian's office: "My subordinates saw people from Beizhen Fusi entering the yamen earlier. They followed them all the way and found that they went to Mr. Luo's office. It was unavoidable to scare the snake, but they did not follow. Get in."
Xu Kaixian frowned and rolled his eyes: "Take someone quickly to inform the three adults and ask them to act with caution."
Baihu raised his eyebrows, raised his hands and left.
Xu Kaixian stood up and walked out of the door, shouting to Qianhu sitting in the hall: "Prepare your horses..."
.
Nanjing Youwei Camp
"Qi Boyu invites me?"
Qi Xianzong's eyelids twitched, and then he looked at the messenger who came in calmly: "Go and tell the messenger that I am in charge of the camp and cannot leave the camp without an order. Ask him to go back and ask. Qi Shangshu is looking for a copy." What's the matter with the official?"
"yes..."
As soon as the soldiers came out of the tent, Qi Xianzong immediately stood up, looked at the commander in the tent and said: "Command, the whole army is ready, weapons are distributed, and ready for orders at any time;
In addition, a month's military salary will be issued immediately, so that every household in each team can act with caution..."
"It's my lord..."
.
Xiaolingwei camp
"Lord Commander..."
Liu Yucheng was about to go home when he heard the voice and walked out of the tent: "What's the matter?"
"Official documents..."
What Liu Yucheng received was an official document sent by the Fifth Army Governor's Office. The content was very simple. He ordered the entire Xiaoling Guard battalion to prepare and prepare for war. After the entire guard assembled, they rushed to Zhengyang Gate to stand by.
It is stamped with the seals of the Nanjing Military Department and the Nanjing Garrison Office.
What does it mean?
Even the Xiaoling Guards were ordered, indicating that they were about to take action.
Liu Yucheng let out a sigh of relief: "Send someone to Shen Ji Grocery Store quickly and tell them that the goods are about to be shipped..."
"yes..."
.
Xu Hongji was currently sitting in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. In addition to the various commanding lords, there were also Qi Boyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, and Zhang Yanzong and Luo Yangxing, commanders of Nanzhen Fusi.
"Report..."
A Jinyi Guard captain quickly ran into the lobby and raised his hands to everyone: "I am reporting to Duke Wei that the Jinyi Guards family members have not been captured."
"What?" Luo Yangxing was shocked: "Where is Dong Qianhu?"
"Back to Master Luo, Dong Qianhu took people to Commander Zhao's residence on Changle Street. There were people at home, but after entering, he found that the people in Conductor Zhao's house were his housekeeper and others, and no immediate family members of Commander Zhao were found."
Luo Yangxing grabbed the captain's collar: "Where are the others?"
"Dong Qianhu realized that something was wrong and took people to the homes of the other three people. There is no news for the time being."
Feng Kelie clapped his hands and shouted: "It's bad, we have been discovered."
"It's too early to say this now," Li Ying shook his head: "We have to see what happens next."
Xu Hongji asked the generals around him: "How about mobilizing the twelve guards now?"
"Mr. Huiguo, all twelve guards in Nanjing City have been assembled inside the school grounds. In addition, according to the instructions, the troops of the Sixth Guards Battalion, including the Fifth Army Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion, have been mobilized to assemble outside Zhengyang Gate;
In addition, the Shenji Battalion is being prepared and is only waiting for the Duke's order to set off. "
Qi Boyu looked at Xu Hongji: "Wei Guogong, the Shenji Battalion has not been trained for a long time and the weapons are not in good condition. If the Nanjing right guard attacks, can they stop it?"
"I don't know, but now 70,000 people have been mobilized. I even ordered the Xiaoling guards to be mobilized to Zhengyangmen to stand by. The three Nanjing guards are also there. With 100,000 people, we should be able to block the Nanjing right guard. live;"
Xu Hongji looked at Qi Boyu: "Qi Xianzong really refused?"
Qi Boyu nodded: "He used the excuse that he could not leave the camp without orders, so he was rejected by others."
"In this case, we can't wait any longer. Send an order to mobilize twelve guards and horses to surround the Nanjing Right Guard Camp. Song Ninghou, you go there in person."
Feng Kelie handed over. There were more than 60,000 people in the Twelve Guards. How could he worry about not being able to defeat the 5,000 people in the Nanjing Right Guards? "Yes, I will go now."
"The Nanjing Three Guards and the Xiaoling Guards immediately set out to surround the Longtan Navy Camp. The people in the workshops cannot be let go."
"yes..."
"I personally led the two guards from the Beijing camp to Chen Cao's mansion in Zhengyangmen..."
After Xu Hongji finished speaking, he pulled on his ancestral armor: "Master Qi, you stay here."
.
When Xu Hongji led his troops to the woods outside Chen Cao's Liangguogong Mansion outside Zhengyang Gate, the messenger soldiers who went to surround the Nanjing Right Guards came back and reported that there was no regular soldier in the Nanjing Right Guards except for the rest of the army.
"My lord, the right guards of Nanjing are on guard. They are out of camp, so be careful of Nanjing city defense."
The deputy general beside him said immediately, Xu Hongji frowned and stared at the woods in front of him, and then mentioned Xuande Hou Jin Yuzheng: "You lead the troops to stay here and capture Chen Cao's family. Nanjing City is important, and I need to go back quickly. .”
Kim Yo-jung looked serious: "Don't worry, Lord, leave this to me."
As for the Lords of the Ming Dynasty, before Tumubao, all of them had ancestral martial arts skills that were capable of fighting and commanding. Ever since Yingzong fell into Oala with hundreds of thousands of cavalry, the Lords of the Ming Dynasty have become more cowardly than the last.
Although Xu Hongji looked very wise when he assigned the task, it was also an action plan that was discussed with the people from the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion after repeated discussions by the generals around him.
In the eyes of Jin Yuzheng, Chen Cao was a person who relied on the eunuchs to get into the country. Capturing his family members was just a casual opportunity to gain success. Besides, how many guards could a new member of the Duke's palace have?
Today, he brought the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp to cause chaos. Throughout the ages, he, Jin Yuzheng, was the first person to do so.
"Master Marquis, there must be an ambush in the woods."
Kim Yo-jung glanced at the swaying top of the tree, then turned around and saw: "The firearms unit fired a salvo first..."
'Bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang...'
The musketeers belonging to the Shenji Battalion first fired a round of three-stage shooting into the woods, and then retreated to reload.
Kim Yo-jung waved his hand: "Do it..."
Thousands of people rushed forward in unison. After running into the woods, a burst of roaring arrows shot into the sky. Kim Yo-jung, who suddenly felt something bad, immediately retreated with his guards and ran out of the woods.
Then...
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
Fierce gunshots came from the woods, accompanied by the wails of the soldiers from the Beijing camp, like a Shura field.
"Master Hou..."
The general yelled: "Send someone quickly to inform Duke Wei..."
Kim Yo-jung and his family have never experienced these things since they were restored to the title of Marquis Xuandeok. They usually show off to others with the momentum of a noble. If they really want to fight, these people have no experience. Although they are in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, they are working in civilian jobs.
"Okay, okay..." Jin Yuzheng reacted from the panic, and then nodded quickly: "Quickly tell Wei Guogong that the rebels are prepared."
'Boom...'
There was a muffled sound, and Jin Yozheng looked up at the sky, and suddenly saw a black dot running towards their direction at a speed that could not be observed with the naked eye.
"Master Hou, be careful..."
Although they have never seen this thing, they have at least heard about it.
The firearms made in the workshop under Chen Cao's name were not children's play toys. Besides, they were somewhat similar to the shells of the Red Yi Cannon. Seeing this, the personal guard pushed Jin Yuzheng to one side.
But in fact, the speed of manpower is no match for the kinetic energy of gunpowder. When a mortar shell landed next to Kim Yo Jong, the guy had not yet fallen to the ground.
The sound of gunshots continued in the woods. The soldiers of the Beijing camp who abandoned their helmets and armor ran out of the woods and fell to the ground after being pierced by bullets flying from the woods.
Violent explosions were heard one after another in Jin Yuzheng's ears. After an unknown period of time, Jin Yuzheng, whose head was covered with mud, was lifted up by a huge force.
With a sneer on his face, Huang Degong threw Jin Yuzheng into the open space, and then looked at Lou Xingye, who had just slashed the last Jingying soldier with his Qi knife: "It's really a great achievement to actually capture Xuandehou alive."
