This wait lasted for one year. During this period, the Donghai Region continued to promote the relocation of the capital and even began large-scale infrastructure reconstruction of Hangzhou City.

Seeing that raw rice was about to be cooked into cooked rice, Zhu Zhongyun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He wrote to the court many times, demanding that the plan be implemented as soon as possible to interrupt Haihan's move to move the capital.

Perseveringly, the cabinet always believed that the time was not yet ripe, so they always sent back his memorials and asked him to continue to wait patiently.

Finally, Jin Yiwei received news that the Haihan Executive Committee would collectively visit Hangzhou at the end of the third month of the Haihan calendar and would most likely announce the decision to move the capital during this period. This was undoubtedly the perfect opportunity to take action and the final step to change the fate of Hangzhou.

opportunity.

These senior officials of the Haihan Executive Committee have always been reclusive and rarely leave Sanya. The occasional inspections are often done individually, and it is rare to go out in groups.

Zhu Zhongyun believed that if a surprise attack could be launched when the executive committee arrived in Hangzhou, there might be a chance to severely inflict heavy damage on the senior officials of Haihan.

If a few members of the Executive Committee could be killed or injured, then according to the laws of history, there would be chaos in the Haihan Dynasty. At that time, it would not be impossible to launch a large-scale counterattack and recapture Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

After receiving the news, senior cabinet officials also believed that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Zhu Zhongyun claimed that all preparations had been put in place and that he was more confident of success than a year ago. So the emperor personally made the decision and ordered Zhu Zhongyun to sneak into Hangzhou and choose the right opportunity.

.

Zhu Zhongyun and several teams of assassins he led quietly moved into Hangzhou City and hid there. At the same time, he also notified the merchants who provided weapons and asked them to transport the required rifles and ammunition to Hangzhou as soon as possible.

However, after these weapons arrived in Hangzhou, Zhu Zhongyun had to figure out how to transport them into the city through inspection.

But fortunately, Wang Yuan, the enemy, did not disappoint him. He miraculously passed the inspection at the city gate and brought these weapons into the city.

Since each team acted separately, and Zhu Zhongyun and others did not dare to go out and show their faces at this time, he did not know that Wang Yuan had betrayed him, which led to the plan being exposed, and one of the teams had been wiped out by Haihan.

But even if he knew it, Zhu Zhongyun would not stop the action at this time. Now the arrow is on the string and he has to shoot. If he misses this opportunity, he may never have a chance to make a comeback in the future.

Zhu Zhongyun has been studying the map of Hangzhou City with his subordinates today. If the Executive Committee's route into the city is consistent with the intelligence, which is to enter the city from the nearby Qingchun Gate, then this place he planned to take half a year in advance is exactly the place he must pass through.

road.

Although this property does not face the street, it does have a three-story attic. The windows on the top floor can overlook the main street entering the city from Qingchun Gate. The straight-line distance may be twenty or thirty feet away, which is perfect for executing the assassination plan.

If this stronghold fails to be activated for some reason, there are still opportunities to make up for the leaks in the hiding places of other groups of troops in the city, but the environment for doing so may not be so safe.

However, Zhu Zhongyun was convinced that with the performance of the rifles on hand, he would be able to succeed in one shot tomorrow.

In the previous training, those old guns that were about to be scrapped had very good accuracy at a distance of thirty to forty feet.

Although the guns sent this time cannot be tested temporarily due to the environment, after careful inspection, it can be determined that the maintenance status of these guns is obviously much better than those of the old assembled guns.

Moreover, the other party said that these guns are active equipment taken directly from the army arsenal, and the sights have been calibrated in advance to ensure that they can hit the target with perfect accuracy. The ammunition included was also produced just a few months ago, and there will never be any more dumb guns.

A bomb situation occurs.

Although the purchase of these weapons used up a considerable part of Zhu Zhongyun's budget, which really made him feel a little pained, and he was worried about whether the other party could deliver the goods as promised. But the weapons were finally delivered to Hangzhou in time, and the quality seemed to be good.

The money was well spent.

As long as the Executive Committee shows up on this avenue outside tomorrow, the probability of success is extremely high. However, everyone has to think carefully about how to escape from the chaos after taking action.

"Brothers, there will be tens of thousands of people watching on the streets tomorrow. There will be chaos after the action is taken. There will definitely be a large number of people flocking to Qingchun Gate and blocking the Haihan army coming for reinforcements at the city gate."

"We will go to the south of the city separately according to the plan, try our best to get out before the city is closed, and take a boat to the river to leave Hangzhou. If we can't get out, we will use our respective identities to hide in the city for a few days and wait for the limelight.

After that, try to get out of the city."

"The imperial court has prepared generous rewards for you. After tomorrow, you will all be members of the Imperial Guards. Anyone who can kill the leader of the Haihan bandits will be rewarded by the imperial court with a decree of making him a marquis and a heavy reward!"

"We will serve the imperial court, kill the enemy and perform meritorious service, so this is the battle!"

Everyone was excited after hearing Zhu Zhongyun's encouragement. For these participants, this is an excellent opportunity for them to change their own destiny. As long as they succeed in one attack tomorrow, they can escape from the city smoothly and enjoy prosperity and wealth for the rest of their lives.

It's easy to get.

But just as dusk fell, the street outside suddenly became noisy.

The people who were on lookout in the attic came to report that there were suddenly many Haihan soldiers carrying weapons on the street outside, and it seemed that martial law was being enforced.

Zhu Zhongyun did not panic at all: "Tomorrow, when senior officials from Haihan will enter the city from here, the army will check the houses along the way in advance. This is normal. I, the Ming Emperor, will take similar measures when I travel to inspect places. Don't worry, this is not aimed at us.

."

"But we have an attic here, and someone may come to check it out later. Let's get ready separately!"

Sure enough, it didn't take long before a government servant led seven or eight Haihan soldiers and knocked on the door.

Zhu Zhongyun had already made arrangements here. After taking over this property, he arranged for someone to live here as the head of the household to deal with the government and the surrounding people.

At that moment, Zhu Zhongyun and others hid in a dark place, and the head of the household came forward to welcome the Yamen and Haihan soldiers in and take them to inspect the property. Of course, the conspicuous attic would not be spared.

After the team inspected the attic, they gathered together and murmured a few words. Then, in the name of safety, they put a seal on the attic door, prohibiting the householder from entering for three days. If he violated the rules, he would be severely fined.

Zhu Zhongyun originally expected that the other party might leave a few people to guard the attic, and had already planned to wait until midnight to kill people and silence them, but unexpectedly the other party just put up a symbolic seal and that was all.

At best, this kind of measure can only scare those honest ordinary people, but of course it is completely ineffective against Zhu Zhongyun.
