The golden crow sinks westward, the moon rabbit rises eastward, ten miles east of Tianjin city, more than 20,000 Han troops camp here. The general of Tianjin Town Muke looked nervous and stood on the city wall and stared at the Han army camp.

"Sir, it's already dark. I see that the Han army will not attack the city!" Deputy General Hainatu stepped forward and persuaded.

"It's hard to say... hey!" Muke sighed, thinking why he was so unlucky. Three months ago, he was a civil servant and did not understand military affairs. The general of Tianjin was originally a Han. Since the surrender of the Shanxi Governor, the emperor was completely worried about the Han people, especially the generals of the generals near Yanjing, and all the deputy generals were replaced by Manchus. He was very happy when he was appointed as the general of Tianjin. He thought it was easy to advance and retreat here. If the Han army captured Yanjing, he could flee to the northeast by boat. He had no calculations, but even if the Han army would come from the sea, it seemed that the ships preparing to escape were in danger.

Hainatu advised again: "Since the Han army landed, the army in Cangzhou and Baoding has sent 5,000 people to support it. Now there are 15,000 soldiers in the city. If you are not enterprising enough, you are still very sure to defend Tianjin. You don't have to worry."

Muke said slowly: "I am not worried about Tianjin. If the Han army bypasses Tianjin and goes straight to the capital, what consequences will be? The Qing Dynasty will be destroyed for two hundred years, and we must not relax."

Hainatu pondered for a moment, shook his head again, and replied: "I don't think that there are heavy troops in Langfang and Tongzhou, all of whom are Manchu relatives and nobles. The Han army attacked Yanjing, aren't they afraid of being intercepted?"

Yes! Muke agreed in his heart that in order to maintain his prestige, he remained silent and did not make any statement, and just stood quietly on the city wall.

Hainatu and others looked at each other, and they all sighed secretly, standing at the top of the city to enjoy the scenery. It was not until an hour later that Muke took them back to the government office to rest.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and rays of moonlight shine brightly on the earth. The Han army camp is immersed in a piece of moonlight. When you enter it, you will find that the soldiers stand in line in a camp. The solemn aura is naturally emitted.

Li Hongzhang put away the Tianjin city defense map and said to Tang Liang: "There are five thousand reinforcements in the city. This map is no longer accurate. Just remember the distribution of the military camps in the city. Our army attacked at night tonight. Musketeers were used as vanguards. The Qing soldiers were only equipped with some spears and big swords, and they are not opponents of our army."

After the battle of Dagu, Tang Liang defeated the Qing army and 3,000 people in the Dagu Association. He had only nine casualties. Li Hongzhang completely recognized the combat power of the so-called special forces. This night attack vanguard was the two hundred special forces.

Tang Liang nodded, estimated the time, and said, "It's going to dawn in two hours. I'll go down and prepare first."

Liu Changyou looked at Tang Liang's departure back and said enviously: "These two hundred people can expand one army and go to the battlefield in less than a month. General Tang is not simple!"

In the Battle of Dagu, Liu Mingchuan was very dissatisfied and shouted: "If you have the ability to pull up the formation and fight, I can kill them all with one battalion. I don't think they are a big deal. It's okay to be a guard in the palace. The battlefield is not where they should come. No matter how good a person's martial arts are, can he block bullets?"

Wu Changqing smiled and said, "Old Liu, don't be dissatisfied. General Tang's subordinates are very strange, especially their guns. Have you noticed that not only are the pistols different from ours, but they can shoot continuously. I have never even heard of such a beaded gun. It can be seen that the emperor attaches importance to him, not to mention an army, but even a group of troops can be formed."

Liu Mingchuan muttered: "The emperor is just partial and only cares about his confidants. I, a division commander, are not as good as a big-headed soldier. Look at their equipment, pistols, beaded spears, daggers, and even if they are worn on them, they look better than us. I think these are all the treasures of the emperor..."

"Shut up!" Li Hongzhang saw that Liu Mingchuan also said that he was overwhelmed, and immediately stopped and said with a harsh voice: "The emperor is kind and kind. Don't be afraid because of this. Can you discuss the emperor?"

Liu Bingzhang said: "Generals train you for your own good. They are not outsiders here. I will say something clearly. Our 14th Army has just formed an army, and there must be many spies from the Jinyiwei in the army. If these words are heard by the emperor, even if the emperor does not blame us, we will lose our holy heart. Everyone will not know what will happen at that time!"

When talking about the Jinyiwei, Wu Changqing was clever and echoed: "Zhongliang said it well. A few days ago, I found that several staff members were absent-minded and often contacted the rear. When I asked, it turned out that they were all from the Intelligence Bureau, ***! Now the Intelligence Bureau has also started a school and has blatant activities! I don't know how many spies there are in the entire army, so it's really hard to guard against!"

Li Hongzhang waved his hand with a serious expression. He looked at everyone and said solemnly: "Everyone is sitting upright, so he is not afraid of these evil ways. Besides, the emperor is wise and decisive, and these spies dare not do anything randomly."

Liu Ming heard a big tent and circled around it. He was worried. He called his personal soldiers to keep watch. Then he came in and whispered: "Sir, tell us about the Intelligence Bureau. You also know that I, Old Liu, like to talk big. If the Intelligence Bureau people are targeted, I can't even explain it clearly!"

All the generals and staff members in the house were from literati and knew very well the power of the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei. They looked at Li Hongzhang together, hoping that he could explain it.

Li Hongzhang pondered for a while and felt that Liu Mingchuan was very worried. People were afraid of it. Three people became tigers. Especially those who were newly affiliated should pay special attention. Moreover, those who are in charge of the Intelligence Bureau are all Guangxi people.

Thinking of this, Li Hongzhang looked around and said, "I heard about this matter about the Intelligence Bureau from Lord Lu. The Intelligence Bureau is under the jurisdiction of the General Staff Department. The director is Zhao Laoqi. He is the first person to follow His Majesty. There are three branches below, namely the Military Investigation Bureau. The leader is Wang Lei. This person is also an old Guangxi servant. There is also a branch called the International Investigation Bureau. Don't worry about this. This bureau is responsible for foreign countries. The last branch has no name. It is very mysterious. It is specifically responsible for assassinating enemy generals, spying on intelligence, etc.."

Liu Mingchuan touched his head and replied: "So we just need to be on guard against the Military Investigation Bureau!"

Li Hongzhang said: "But you don't have to worry. Apart from the rebellious generals, I have never heard of that person being killed by the Intelligence Bureau. Besides, they do not have the right to arrest generals at the regiment level or above. After Lord Lu's argument, the emperor has reduced the establishment of the Military Investigation Bureau. Now they can only eavesdrop on some conversations and record some things like our habits."

Wu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief. He was also worried that the staff members wanted to harm him. It seemed that he was too careful.

Li Hongzhang glanced at the dense figures outside and glanced at Liu Mingchuan secretly. Isn’t this the place without silver? He immediately said: “Everyone will go back, lead their own troops, and when they see the signal, attack immediately!”

"Abide by the order!" The generals came out one after another, and the tent was much empty, leaving only a few advisers.

The dark clouds blocked the moonlight, and the earth suddenly became much darker. Tang Liang closed his eyes, secretly exerted his internal force, and said to the captains: "This is the best time. There are torches on the city wall, so I can't see the movements under the city. Third son, go report to the lord and say we will act in advance!"

"As for order!" A thin man left quickly.

Tang Liang waved his hand and said, "Go!"

More than 200 people were divided into four teams, and they quickly approached the city wall under the cover of darkness. About a quarter of an hour, two hundred people had already stuck under the city wall and bowed and slumped.

Tang Liang made a gesture, and immediately more than ten team members moved to the back of him and took out the tools he carried, all of which were flying claws, which were specially used to hook the gaps between the squadrons on the city wall.

After finding out the situation in the city, Tang Liang threw out the rope in his hand, tried to pull it twice, and nodded to everyone.
