The rain was still falling, and the ground was muddy.
However, Zhang Fu's central army tent was very comfortable. The tent was built on a bamboo and wooden platform several feet above the ground. The water flowing from the tent flowed directly from the gap in the wood to the ground, and then flowed away through the drainage ditches, without affecting the dryness inside at all.
There were only four people in the tent, including the military general Xue Lu, the Censorate official Yang Sihai, and a middle-aged man wearing a tight blue cloth short coat; Zhang Fu was sitting on the stool above, holding a brush and writing something slowly.
The dark scenery outside was dotted with some firelight shadows. This place did not look like a battlefield, but just a camp in the open, with the army lying dormant in a rainy night.
Zhang Fu finally put the pen on the inkstone, put his hand on his chin and touched his beard. He looked outside and listened carefully to the sound of rain for a while before he spoke.
Before using troops to Jiangxi, I sent some people to sneak into Jiujiang City one after another, and the Ministry of War knew about this.
Zhang Fu glanced at Yang Sihai. Yang Sihai was not an official of the Ministry of War, but his backer Yang Rong was the Minister of War. However, the most important group of people and horses at the moment were not these detailed works. Few people and weapons could not do anything. Instead, it was a person among the King of Han surrendered soldiers, and his name was Wang Zhiyuan.
Zhang Fu paused and continued to tell the secret. This person was a person who was placed in the Han Wang army for a long time, ours.But in the past, it was not valued by the King of Han, so it did not work.Until the royal army seized Caishiji (an important ferry near Nanjing), I thought it would be a matter of time before the Han Dynasty was suppressed, and Wang Zhiyuan would be useless until then; but the rebels of Huguang were still there, and after the official army entered Nanjing, they would inevitably march from Jiangnan to Huguang. Jiujiang City defended Poyang Lake, which was a hurdle.I ordered Wang Zhiyuan to surrender to the Jiujiang garrison in advance, and the garrison general was Wang Shishun.Later, Wang Zhiyuan was a general in the Jiujiang army. After Wang Shishun was killed, he was still unscathed in Jiujiang.
Yang Sihai was a little surprised and said: So, when the King of Han was still there, the British Duke had already set up a son in Jiujiang?
Zhang Fu nodded calmly.
The few people present all looked at Zhang Fu with awe.
He said: This method is not an open and honest approach, but many signs indicate that there are spies from rebels in the court.It is impolite to come but not go. We don’t have to be polite to the soldiers and we don’t have to be polite to the rebels.
The middle-aged man in black asked respectfully: Can that Wang Zhiyuan successfully mobilize the people in his hands?
Zhang Fu said: This man was born into a general before and "returned to" the Queen of Han to manage his own power. All those under his command were privately supported soldiers.He can at least use his own people well.
Zhang Fu continued, even those detailed works in the city did not know about Wang Zhiyuan's existence. Only the senior management of the Ministry of War and I knew about this person. The matter was secretly involved and would not contact him until it was used.So this time you must be prepared and you must not damage this team in vain... Are you sure that the secret passage in North City has not been discovered?
The man in black said: I have used it once since I dug it.
Zhang Fu nodded gently: You will enter the city with the people who came back last night, so don’t send anyone out to contact us in the future.The city has been martial law, and the rebels' secret whistle is tightly guarded. If you walk too much, you will inevitably hit ghosts when you walk at night.
The man in black said seriously: Bei Zhi had sewed poison on his collar and wrapped it in wax. If he bite it and half of the incense stick, he would die for his country.If you encounter an accident, even if you die, you will not give up Wang Zhiyuan's troops and will definitely repay the British Duke's life to save his life.
Zhang Fu said: You are not only repaying your kindness, but also serving the country and saving the lives of countless soldiers!Now the rebellion of the King of Han has been settled, and Jianwen is trapped in a corner to resist stubbornly, and it will be a matter of time before the destruction of the tripod is in chaos. However, now the rebels are building walls in Jiujiang. If they cannot cut off their food and grass, the soldiers will definitely lose countless losses in the future hard battles.You have a heavy responsibility and your life is in your body, so you must understand it.
Yang Sihai said next to us: If our inner world should be able to burn the rebels' granary, and Jiujiang has no grain road, we can't stand down without standing.
Xue Lu also hurriedly said: If the British public is a plan to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot, they will surely achieve success.
At this time, Zhang Fu picked up the words he had just written, and after hanging them for a while, he almost did it. There were two small lines of words written on it: Everything is ready, but the east wind is not needed.
He took a bamboo tube, rolled the paper in with his own hands, and sealed it with wax.
Zhang Fu finished these things slowly and handed them to the man in black: I won’t write the military order, Wang Zhiyuan knew my words.If you tell him the bottom line again, he will definitely believe in your identity; otherwise, his identity will be exposed and he will be taken directly, so why should he send someone to deceive him?
The man in black responded: Yes.What else do you have to tell me?
Zhang Fu paced back and forth a few steps in front of the table, and then reminded him: Remember, Wang Zhiyuan is the most critical point, and you can only know it before you start!Where is his garrison? You can ask the insiders in the city and ask a few more people to confuse Wang Zhiyuan.
I understand the humble position.
Let's go.The one who comes back should be waiting for you outside the account.
Zhang Fu waved his hand and turned around.
He only hopes that he should succeed, and does not have to burn all the food and grass. As long as he burns a part of it, it will be enough for the rebels to be in turmoil.
……
Zhang Ning put on a long robe and sat up, turned to look at the window, it was pitch black outside.
Xin Wei was soaked again. The water flowed from her trousers to the floor, and soon a pool of water stains accumulated. She whispered: Two people crawled in from outside the city last night. In the second half of the night, the people in the house went out one after another and went to seven or eight places in a row.Our people have already focused on everything.But I don’t know how many people there are. We only have more than 30 people. We must get the prince’s order to ask General Li to lead the guards to get people.
This is enough.
Zhang Ning was dressing randomly, and Xin Wei was so wet that he stood still.
He got up and lifted the stove over, placed it next to Xin Wei and let her burn the fire.
Xin Wei said: Now, just wait for the prince to give the order, and you can catch all the spies in one go!
Zhang Ning pondered for a moment and asked: Do you still remember where the spies contacted?
Xin Wei thought about it for a moment and nodded to say yes.Zhang Ning searched on the table for a while, found a drawing of Jiujiang City painted by pen, and asked Xin Wei to come and point it out.
During this process, Zhang Ning asked about the size and size of each place, what kind of houses do, and asked very carefully.
Fortunately, Xin Wei is very thoughtful about such things, and most of them can be described clearly.
There are houses, shops and other places for ordinary people.
There are not many people in these houses. A group of people stayed in the house to eat, drink and sleep, at most less than a hundred people.
Zhang Ning held his chin and thought while muttering, what can a hundred people do in such a huge city?Prepare to attack the city gate or assassinate a vital figure?Or just inquire about the news... what news can you find.
Xin Wei said: If the guards are transferred, the prince will be careful of missing out on the net. Safety is important.
Zhang Ning shook his head: There are thousands of troops from the Third Army of Yongding Camp stationed next to the Governor's Office.
He was reluctant to give orders and sat for a long time and said: If I were Zhang Fu, I would definitely give priority to burning food and grass at this time.Jiujiang is a dead city. Once the food and grass are burned, it will remove the firewood from the cauldron. No matter how solid the fortifications are, it is useless. People have to eat.
He finally looked up and said decisively: Order the eunuch to detect you, don’t act rashly and continue to stare at me. If there is any abnormal movement, I will report it directly to me.
In the next two days, although Zhang Ning had to ask about the details every day, there was no new progress.
He couldn't help but worry about another possibility: if the governor's yamen also did something, would he notice it?
After all, most of the people from the Escort Province have gone to the city to hide and monitor, and those who are interested may notice the subtle changes.
If the spy gets the news, he will try to hide it in a dispersed manner, and at least destroy some valuable things.
Wouldn't Zhang Ning be so obsessed with the opportunity to hold back her troops?
The rain stopped at night, and Zhang Ning participated in a meeting in the lobby. The army planned to re-enter the garrisons who were called back into the city to increase troops to the fortifications outside the city tomorrow morning.
Another thing, he was also privately considering closing the city's detailed work.
He returned to the study and sent someone to rumor Li Zhen to meet him.
While waiting, Xin Wei suddenly came back first. She hurriedly walked in and bowed her head to Zhang Ning's ear and whispered: I found that someone among the spies entered the garrison of the first battalion of the Jiujiang Army.
Zhang Ning's face suddenly changed, and a thought flashed through his mind: If the Jiujiang Army suddenly mutiny in the city and catches him off guard, it will be able to burn the granary or ammunition depot, and all the movements of Zhang Fu will become reasonable and profitable.
How could the Jiujiang Army have something to do with Zhang Fu?
This group of people is really low in loyalty, and it is possible if there are spies waiting for an opportunity to contact us to lobby and instigate the rebellion; but the official army sent people in to lobby temporarily, and it is still unknown whether it will be successful. This is too risky and a joke.
For Zhang Fu, the more stable approach is that the Jiujiang Army had arranged his own people...
When this army surrendered, the King of Han had just finished his life. After investigation, the officers and soldiers inside were the King of Han's troops. If Zhang Fu had a plan, he had to start preparing when the King of Han was still in power.
If this is true, it seems impossible to plan too forward and make too deep layout.
As things come to an end, Zhang Ning has no time to find out the whole story and has no way to guess.He only realized that the crisis was right in front of him.
Which battalion is it?Zhang Ning asked, and immediately remembered that Xin Wei didn’t know much about military garrison, so he changed his words, where is he?
Xin Wei said: Behind the government office, at the intersection of Dabei Street, the surrounding houses are all requisitioned by the military camp, and there are also sentries on the street.
Wang Zhiyuan's troops.Zhang Ning thought about it and blurted out.He had only met this general several times before and after, and he didn't remember talking to him. Most of his understanding came from files and files.
what to do?
Zhang Ning limped up, thinking of immediately mobilizing troops to surround Wang Zhiyuan to death?
But what if it is more than him, one of them has a strange intention, or if it suddenly raises an army to incite the mutiny of the Han Wangjun?
The rain has stopped, and the government army can attack on a large scale tomorrow.
The fortifications outside the city are not iron walls. If there are loopholes inside, or if the official army is willing to repeatedly invest the troops, the lethality of the earth wall musket array is actually very limited.
However, Zhang Fu's central army tent was very comfortable. The tent was built on a bamboo and wooden platform several feet above the ground. The water flowing from the tent flowed directly from the gap in the wood to the ground, and then flowed away through the drainage ditches, without affecting the dryness inside at all.
