Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 641 Raid on the official station
Seeing Tian Xiong and others respond in unison, Xie Qiguang was overjoyed. As long as this matter is finally successful, he will become the number one person in Nanjing from now on, and he will have a great say in all matters big and small. If you strengthen your fortune, your wealth will also increase.

Afterwards, everyone began to discuss the details of various aspects, including how many reliable subordinates they must gather, what kind of weapons they would prepare, how many people would raid the official posts, how many people would block the Jinyiwei, etc. After everything was agreed, it was around Xu time, Xie Qiguang arranged They gathered the servants in the mansion, held the lanterns with the words Xie Mansion, and sent Tian Xiong and others back to their respective homes separately.

The next day it was light, and before the captains in Jinyi were on duty, the carriages pulling the silver went to the homes of Tian Xiong and the others, and drove away after unloading.

Not long after, Tian Xiong and the others sent their cronies to leave Fuchu, and went to various places in the city to gather reliable and capable subordinates.

Around the middle of Mao, before there were a large number of pedestrians on the street, three or five groups of men in cotton clothes rushed to their respective generals' mansions one after another. Gathering together, the gate of the mansion was tightly closed, and the Jin Yiwei in the city still didn't know anything about these different costumes.

On this day, the hustle and bustle of the bustling city of Nanjing is still as usual. Everything is as usual. Pedestrians, merchants, and poor households are all busy with their own livelihoods. The market is still crowded and bustling. Unknowingly, one day passes It was already dark, the sky was gradually getting dark, and there were very few pedestrians on the street.

Around You hour, the sky was completely dark, the streets were deserted, and the watchman on duty at night was also gone. The entire city of Nanjing was enveloped in darkness.

At this moment, the gates of several houses in different locations in the city were quietly opened, and then black figures in hard attire came out from inside one by one, and under the leadership of the leader, they approached the soldiers under the former Nanjing Military Department. Go to the warehouse of the stick bureau.

Since the tenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian ordered the abolition of guards in various places, and the warehouse of the Bingzhang Bureau at the foot of Zijin Mountain has gradually fallen into a state of disuse.

Since Nanjing General Soldier led the army to settle in, a new warehouse was specially set up, and it was managed by a special military supply officer assigned by the Ministry of War of the Beijing Division. Even the officials and soldiers guarding the warehouse under the ambassador are becoming more and more slack.

After Xie Qiguang said hello and offered a large amount of bribes, the warehouse was completely undefended tonight.

At the end of You Shi, as Tian Xiong and others led the team to arrive one after another, the entire warehouse compound was crowded with people. However, because they were ordered in advance, although there were many people in the courtyard, there was no voice except for the occasional cough.

There are more than ten torches lit around the courtyard. The only light is tightly blocked by the tall courtyard wall. In addition, the place is remote and there are no residents within a few miles around, so there is no need to worry about being watched by others. There is something strange.

After Tian Xiong, Qiu Yue and others met and discussed in a low voice for a while, Zhang Jie and Huang Ming, who were in chain armor, were led down to the line by their cronies holding torches. After confirming that they were correct, they each raised their arms and waved. Go to the warehouse that has been open for a long time.

Under such circumstances, no one gave any impassioned speeches. Everyone knew that they were doing things with their heads up. Either they would let their families live a good life in gold and silver, or their heads would be chopped off. Go, everything is unknown, so I can only follow the general.

This time the five people gathered about 800 people in total. These people were the backbone of their cronies in the original guard.

Most of these people have developed the bad habit of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling because of the easy money in the past. After more than a year, most of their original income suddenly disappeared, and their lives are tight.

After being summoned this time, each of them first received a huge sum of 20 taels of silver, and then learned that there would be more rewards after the event was completed, which aroused everyone's enthusiasm at once.

Isn't it just to kill a dog official?It's not that they didn't do it before, but they were all blamed on the unknown Jiangyang bandit afterwards, and they all became headless cases in the end.

Zhang Jie and Huang Ming wanted to take 500 people to the vicinity of the campsite of the captains of the Jinyiwei Nanjing Qianhu Institute, and block the street where the guard is located with various obstacles, so as to intercept the Jinyiwei's possible reinforcements after the incident. When the official station succeeds, they will immediately evacuate in all directions.

As for the defenders guarding the gates of Nanjing, they didn't think about it at all.

The city of Nanjing is too big, and there are too many gates, and each gate is guarded by a small group of officers and soldiers. They don't know what happened, and they dare not leave their posts without receiving orders. capital offense.

The most important thing about this operation is a quick battle. The team that raided the official station had to end the battle within half an hour. During this time, no one could react in time.

After Zhang Jie and Huang Ming led their men away, carrying all kinds of obstacles such as horses, saber carts, and dozens of longbows, knives and guns, Chen Xiance led a hundred people into the warehouse and began to choose weapons. .

He was in charge of leading people to besiege the governor's office in Jiangsu and the government office in Nanjing, trying to kill the two chief officials.

Chen Xiance's team quickly left with their weapons, and Tian Xiong and Qiu Yue led the remaining 200 people in to pick out armor and weapons.

The two of them will be responsible for leading a raid on the official station and killing Lu Xiangsheng.

These 200 people were also selected after careful selection. They were all the elite of the original guards. Many of them had seen blood on their hands, and they were the most capable group of people.

Around the hour of Hai, which is close to eleven o'clock midnight in later generations, the lights in Nanjing city are almost extinct, only the lanterns hanging in front of the houses of big families are still swaying in the cold wind.

The official post where Lu Xiangsheng stayed was guarded by a team of Nanjing officers. The night watch was divided into five teams, each with four soldiers on duty.

"This winter in the south of the Yangtze River is really f*ckingly cold. It rains twice in three days, and the air-conditioning goes straight to the bones. It's much more difficult than the winter in the north. It really killed me.

You said that this is a peaceful scene, what kind of whistle is worth it at night?Who has the guts to murder Dushuai Lu?If it weren't for this errand, we would have slept to death in the warm quilt by this time! "

A soldier on duty at the gate of the official post stomped his feet and moved his body to complain.

"Shut up! Sixth son, if Shangguan hears what you say, the twenty army sticks won't be able to escape!

It's cold, but it's an honor for us to be on duty for Commander Lu!
We have been in the army for many years, and we have heard of Dushuai Lu's reputation for a long time, but if we want to see him, we are not so lucky, but now we can see him from time to time, the old man, thinking about it makes me happy! "

The other of the four people first frightened the soldier named Liu Zi, and then spoke happily.

"I'm not blaming Commander Lu for being on duty, I just dislike Jiangnan for being too cold! Brother Chen, don't scare me!"

After Liu Zi replied a few words, he was about to continue explaining, when the soldier surnamed Chen suddenly shouted: "Who is it? Stop!"

As soon as the soldiers surnamed Chen finished speaking, amidst the whistling sound, several long arrows shot from a dark place dozens of steps away, and one of the soldiers on duty was shot in the thigh by an arrow, and fell to the ground with a plop.

"Enemy attack!
Drag it in!Close the gate! "
