The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 414 Scaring You?scare you to death!
Zhu Linmi nodded again. Even if King Lu did not participate in today's incident, other Zhejiang officials must have formed a party group with him as the core.

"It's just..." Zhang Jiayu pondered, "King Lu is unwilling to leave the rich and prosperous land of Shaoxing, and he has just announced his abdication and return to the feudal domain. If the imperial court forces him to change his title to another place, it may be disadvantageous to recruit him in the future."

While the two were talking, Shi Lin reported outside the tent, "My lord, Xie Hong, a thousand households in Jinyiwei North Town, begs to see you."

"Let him in."

"Yes!"

Shi Lin entered the account in response, and a short and capable man behind him stepped forward and knelt on the ground, "My subordinate pays homage to His Royal Highness the Coordinator!" Then he tore off his clothes, took out a note and held it in both hands, "Your Highness , This is the secret report that my subordinates just brought back from the north bank of Qiantang."

Jinyiwei North Town has established a mature intelligence network in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. Usually, the information is gathered to Gu Yanwu, who sorts it out and reports it to the assistant king.

But this time, Qianhu directly brought information to Zhu Linmi, explaining that the situation should be very urgent.

The latter hurriedly took the note and unfolded it, only to see that it read: September [-], [-].The captive forward Chen Tai's troops arrived [-] miles north of Hangzhou, with more than [-] soldiers.Zhang Tianlu and Bu Congshan have a total of [-] people, which have passed Xiaofeng.A total of more than [-] people from Huang Ding and Yang Chengzu arrived in Anji.In addition, Luck Dehun and Dasu led more than [-] Jianzhou soldiers. The specific location is unknown, or in Suzhou, Kunshan and other places.

No wonder this Xie Hong sent the secret report directly to Shaoxing. It turns out that the Jianlu forward arrived north of Hangzhou yesterday, and according to his marching speed, he may have already entered Hangzhou city by this time.

Xiaofeng, Anji and other places are less than [-] miles away from the north bank of Qiantang.

In other words, within seven or eight days at most, there will be nearly one hundred thousand Qing troops approaching the front line of Qiantang!
In addition, the whereabouts of the [-] Manchu elites led by Luck Dehun are unknown, and they may have secretly gone south.Even if it is only in Suzhou or Kunshan, it is already within the range of northern Zhejiang, only three hundred miles away from Hangzhou.

Zhu Linming then instructed Xie Hong: "Good job. Continue to closely monitor the movements of the Jian captives, and especially find out the traces of Leket's troops as soon as possible."

"Subordinates obey!"

After Xie Hong left, Zhu Linmei breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, we quickly wiped out the main force of Ma Degong. Now that the central and southern Zhejiang provinces are stable, we can deal with Jianlu through Qiantang. The initiative is already on our side."

He then handed over the secret report to Zhang Jiayu, "Have someone transcribe it as a mansion report and circulate it to the senior officers of the Dragon Guard Army. The deployment of troops will be discussed in detail in my account at the time of Wushi recruiting."

"Yes!"

Just as Zhang Jiayu was about to turn around, Zhu Linmei suddenly remembered something, stopped him and said, "Yuanzi, I want to send a copy of this mansion newspaper to the King of Lu. Then find a suitable person and tell him about our army's previous combat strategy." explain."

"This...but why?"

Zhu Linmei smiled and said, "If it's quick, it's tonight, if it's slow, it's tomorrow, and we'll see."

"Yes!"

……

"General Chen is saying that...His Royal Highness is not planning to deploy defenses on the south bank of Qiantang at all?!" Zhu Yihai asked with wide-eyed eyes in the front hall of Prince Lu's Mansion.

Chen Yi sipped his tea, nodded and said: "That's right, His Highness ordered the main force of the Polu camp to attack the Xincheng and Fuyang areas. The Dragon Guards may directly attack Hangzhou."

Zhu Yihai's hands trembled, and the tea bowl almost fell to the ground.Before dinner, someone showed him the latest residence report, which said that one hundred thousand captive troops were approaching Qiantang.

He said in a trembling voice: "General, don't make jokes. Xincheng, Fuyang, and Hangzhou are all on the north bank of Qiantang. Could it be that His Royal Highness the Assistant Prince is going north with a hundred thousand Jian captives?!"

"It's a big bastard who lied to you." Chen Yi waved his hand carelessly, "I'll let you in on some news, not only to attack the north of Qiantang, but also Chen Bangyan and Chen Shoubei to lead an army to attack Huizhou..."

"Huizhou?!" Zhu Yihai was startled, and hurriedly asked, "I wonder if there are any other troops from Fujing coming out of Xianxia Pass?"

"No more, there are [-] troops in the Polu camp plus the Dragon Guards, and Chen Shoubei still has [-] garrisons."

"Only, only 8000 people..." Zhu Yihai's tone changed, "This kind of people don't stick to the south bank, but also take the initiative to attack north?!"

"Yes, His Highness planned it that way."

Zhu Yihai asked several times again, convinced that he heard correctly, and then asked someone to take 500 taels of silver and give it to Chen Yi, so that he could send it out of the palace.

"I thought that the assistant king was young, promising, and resourceful, but I didn't expect him to be a fool! No matter how elite your men are, if you take the initiative to attack 3 Qing troops with more than [-] people, you will definitely lose! What's more, among them There are still eight thousand going to Huizhou..." He wandered anxiously in the main hall dozens of times, and finally stomped his feet vigorously, as if he had made up his mind.

"Yongfu!" He summoned the steward of the palace to give a hasty explanation, and then he asked people to prepare a car and leave the palace.

……

As soon as Zhu Linmi walked outside the big tent of the Chinese army, a guard came to report, "Everyone, His Royal Highness King Lu is asking to see you."

"Oh? Here we come?" Zhu Linming laughed, "I also said tonight will be the soonest. Oh, let him wait in the side tent, I'll be there soon."

In order to facilitate the departure of the army, the Longwei Army has been stationed outside Shaoxing City.When Zhu Yihai was anxiously fidgeting in the military tent, he finally saw Zhu Linming enter through the curtain.

He first went forward to salute, and then winked at the next person, "The army has been stationed outside the city for a long time, and I think it's hard work, so I send 5 taels of silver and [-] shimi to work for the army."

Immediately, someone handed a gift list to Shi Lin.

Zhu Lin hurriedly cupped her hands and said, "I thank Brother Wang on behalf of the imperial court."

"I have one more thing." Lu Dynasty glanced around and whispered, "I wonder if I can screen back?"

Zhu Linmi signaled to Shi Lin and the others: "You guys go out first."

"Yes!"

Another moment passed.

Zhu Linmi's face was full of surprise, "Brother Wang is leaving Zhejiang?!"

"Yes," Zhu Yihai nodded with a bitter face, "I have lived in the warring place for a long time, and I am exhausted physically and mentally. Now that Your Highness is in charge of the overall situation, I want to go to the south to recuperate for a while."

"How can this work?" Zhu Linmi immediately shook her head, and said seriously, "I still need Brother Wang to help me stabilize Zhejiang!"

"It doesn't matter," King Lu said with a careful apology, "I will definitely tell Qian Sule and the others to assist His Highness well."

"No, no, brother Wang's departure, the world will think that it is because you are afraid of Jianlu, which affects morale too much."

Zhu Yihai was about to cry, thinking that I won't leave?When more than 3 of you are on the north bank, I'm afraid it will be too late if I want to leave!

"In this way, I will donate another 10 taels of silver to the army to boost morale. I will only go to Fujing, ah, no, I will just go to Guangdong for a few days."

"No..."

"I beg you..."

The two debated for a long time, Zhu Linmi pretended to be helpless, and sighed: "Since Brother Wang insists on going south, I will not stop me anymore.

"But to show that Brother Wang is not fleeing in fear of the enemy, there needs to be a reason."

"Please make it clear, Your Highness."

"It is said that Brother Wang's fief is occupied by captives, and the land from Jieyang to Chaozhou is specially changed to Brother Wang. If you go south, you will go to the feudal domain." Jieyang to Chaozhou is a large piece of land, which is larger than the original fief of Lu Fan. Yanzhou is more than twice as big, which is already a reward.

However, Chaozhou at this time is a barren land, but Zhu Yihai can't care about these things, he only thinks that Chaozhou is already in the extreme south, and Fujing is still separated from the front line of Zhejiang, so it should be very safe.

So he immediately nodded and said, "I would like to go to Chaozhou."

……

Zhen Zhen wiped the sweat off his cheeks, looked up and saw the majestic North City Gate of Shaoxing, and couldn't help but burst into joy, "It's finally here!"
