A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

After a busy day, Lu Cheng occasionally wrote a letter to Ding Baiying to learn about the situation in Kyoto and express his concern. After spending a few months together in Beijing, it is impossible to say that Lu Cheng has no feelings for Ding Baiying. But Lu Cheng has more things in his mind. He is busy with his career and does not have much time to consider the relationship between men and women. He just maintains a certain relationship with Ding Baiying. As for what Ding Baiying's attitude towards him is, Lu Cheng is not very clear. It is difficult to guess a woman's thoughts, and Lu Cheng has no time to think about it. Of course, Lu Cheng will occasionally tease her once or twice in the letter to see the other party's reaction. But Ding Baiying's letters mostly described the situation in Yanjing, and rarely involved personal feelings, but occasionally she would express her concern.

Perhaps because Ding Baiying was a child of the rivers and lakes, she was not good at expressing her feelings. Or maybe she felt that she had expressed it, but Lu Cheng did not understand. No one can say for sure about this kind of thing.

However, Lu Cheng has already started to establish his own intelligence department. Lu Cheng, who came from the future, is more aware of the importance of intelligence information, which is a key factor in the success or failure of the war and influencing major decisions.

It is called an intelligence department, but in fact it is just a grass-roots team that has selected some smart soldiers and recruited some smart young men from the local area.

The first task Lu Cheng assigned to these people was to find various skilled craftsmen and educated clerks near Liaoyang.

In terms of craftsmen, blacksmiths are mainly recruited, and other carpenters and masons are also required. As for scholars, it would be even better if some Tongsheng scholars could be recruited.

After a period of hard work, some useful people were recruited, including seven or eight blacksmiths. Finally, the iron that Lu Cheng had looted before could be used, and the unqualified weapons of his soldiers could be recycled.

At the same time, some masons were also recruited to help repair houses and fortresses.

As for carpenters, they could also make some simple wooden defense equipment.

Not only that, there were two scholars who had read books and seven or eight students, as well as some talents who had worked as housekeepers and accountants in wealthy families. With this group of people, the logistics team was finally complete, and Lu Cheng had more time.

One day, Lu Cheng took two drawings he had made and came to the blacksmith shop in the military camp. He called the most experienced master and asked, "Master Hu, do you think these two things are easy to make? How many pieces can you make every day?"

"This iron shovel is easier. You want to use it to dig pits, right?"

"Yes, it should be made with a short handle for easy carrying."

"No problem. The other one looks a bit strange, but it shouldn't be difficult. I'll try it first and make two finished products for you to see."

"Okay, how soon can I see it?"

"If you need it urgently, I can make it for you tomorrow morning."

"Okay, as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir."

If someone in the future sees these two drawings, they will recognize the names of the two things at a glance, namely the engineer shovel and the Luoyang shovel.

This is also the equipment that Lu Cheng prepared to dig traps and bury mines.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng went to another small workshop outside the military camp and watched the production of land mines.

In fact, the production of land mines is very easy, and even does not require any industrial foundation. It can be made with just some gunpowder, pottery jars, ceramic fragments and other things.

During the Anti-Japanese War, our army's landmine warfare made full use of various available materials to produce pottery jar mines and stone mines.

"Be careful when doing it, and make sure it is safe. There can be no open flames."

"Yes, sir."

After inspecting the situation and confirming that the entire military camp has entered a normal operating state and does not need to worry too much, Lu Cheng can finally proceed with the next plan.

A few days later, Lu Cheng took Ding Xiu, two people and four horses, quietly left the garrison, and temporarily handed over everything in the garrison to those hundred households for management to maintain normal operation.

Leaving Liaoyang, crossing Fushun, passing through Sarhu, Lu Cheng and the others quietly went deep into the hinterland of the Later Jin.

Before leaving, Lu Cheng deliberately emptied the supplies in the storage space, leaving only some food, water and equipment needed for this operation.

Of course, the things in the cross-border backpack, Lu Cheng

It won't be taken out easily.

After entering winter, the weather in Liaodong became colder and colder, and the slaves of Hou Jin Dynasty also hid and rarely moved outside.

No one would have thought that two Ming people would be so bold and quietly touch the heart of Hou Jin, Hetuala.

In the forty-fourth year of Wanli, that is, 1616, Nurhaci proclaimed himself khan in Hetuala and founded the Jin Dynasty.

It was not until a few years later in 1625, after Hou Jin conquered Shenyang and Liaoyang, that he decided to move the capital to Shenyang and renamed Shenyang Shengjing City.

At this time, the Eight Banners troops within the Houjin area were still distributed in the form of tribes, maintaining the habit of living near water and grass.

It's just that it's winter now, and these tribes have settled down and are preparing to survive the cold winter.

After entering Hou Jin's territory, Lu Cheng and Ding Xiu both put on Hou Jin style clothes and leather hats to hide their Han characteristics.

For this operation, Lu Cheng also specially found someone to learn some commonly used Jurchen words to facilitate his actions.

Since the Jurchen tribes were scattered and there were not many checkpoints, Lu Cheng and Ding Xiu had almost an unimpeded journey and quickly approached Hetuala.

More than ten years ago, Nurhaci ordered the construction of a castle in Hetuala, and later built an outer city outside the castle. Nurhachi and his relatives lived in the inner city, and the outer city was inhabited by the most elite Eight Banners disciples and some surrendered Han generals. .

It was already evening when Lu Cheng and Ding Xiu arrived outside Hetuala City. The two of them did not enter the city, but hid themselves in a forest outside the city. Lu Cheng observed the entire city from a distance through a telescope.

The city of Hetuala is not big, and the city wall is not high, only less than two feet, not even comparable to the walls of Shenyang and Liaoyang.

Perhaps it was because it was winter, and this was the hinterland of Houjin. On the city wall, except for those near the city gate where there were more guards, there were not many guards in other places.

After Lu Cheng observed the situation, he and Ding Xiu found a sheltered place and hid.

"Sir, do you really not need me to go with you?"

"No, although you are good at swordsmanship, you are not proficient in assassination. I can only go in person for this operation, and you are responsible for taking care of it here. Keep the few explosive bags I gave you. If you don't go out tonight before I come out, When you hear a violent explosion in the city, run under the city gate and throw out explosives to attract the enemy's attention. If you don't hear the explosion, just stay here and wait. "

"Yes, sir."

Soon, it was late at night, the north wind was howling, and the weather was freezing cold. The soldiers guarding the city wall also hid in the city gate buildings to keep warm, and some even fell asleep directly.

At this moment, Lu Cheng quietly came to an undefended city wall, took out a set of hooks, flicked them a few times, then let go, and the iron hooks were firmly grasped on the female wall. corner.

After listening to the surrounding sounds, except for the howling north wind, no one noticed what was going on here.

Lu Cheng pulled the rope and after making sure that the iron hook was relatively stable, Lu Cheng grabbed the rope and quickly climbed up, reaching the city wall in a moment. Looking around, I saw that the nearest turret on the city wall was dozens of steps away, so no one would notice what was going on here.

Then, Lu Cheng put down the rope again and easily lowered it from the other side of the city wall to the ground. He shook the rope casually, causing the hook to fall from the city wall.

Quickly putting the rope into the storage space, Lu Cheng dodged and disappeared under the city wall.

It was already late at night, and the entire city of Hetuala was silent. Except for the occasional night guard who passed by, there was no one else moving on the streets.

Lu Cheng quickly approached the inner city along the street, heading towards a certain location quickly and covertly.

When he plundered the caravan, Lu Cheng specifically interrogated the caravan manager and learned about the general situation in Hetuala City. Although he did not know the specific distribution and defense situation in the entire city, he at least knew that Fan Wencheng and Li The location of Yongfang Mansion.

One of these two people was the Han military advisor that Nurhachi valued most, and the other was the first Ming army general in Liaodong to surrender to the Jin Dynasty. Naturally, they were highly regarded by Nurhaci and lived on the edge of the inner city.

Soon, Lu Cheng arrived at a large mansion with "Fan Mansion" written in Chinese characters and Manchu on the door...
