Zhenjiang Fort's current anti-espionage work is quite strict.
If Gao Xingsheng came to do this, he would be making the best use of his resources, not to mention that there were many experts from Jinyiwei in the Nanhai camp. Many of these people were also transferred to Gao Xingsheng's men. From then on, the spies from Jin came to
Unless you do nothing when you arrive at Zhenjiang Fort, otherwise, as soon as you make any move, you will be exposed immediately.
It is basically impossible for outsiders to enter the main fort of Zhenjiang Fort. There are four auxiliary forts around it, A, B, C and D. Even if the outside population is doubled inside, it can still accommodate them. And even if there is a chance to go to the main fort to participate in some work,
Those who were selected also went through layers of screening.
If foreign refugees can reach this level, they have already reached the top.
Among the refugees who were recruited as recruits in Dongjiang Town, they were all sent to Pi Island for basic training. After the two-month training was completed, they were directly assigned to the battalions stationed in the four auxiliary forts.
No matter which battalion these recruits are assigned to, two battalions will not accept them.
Those were Jiang Wan's personal barracks and the Nanhai camp from the capital.
The people in the pro-barracks camp are all Shaanxi officers and soldiers. Whether it is food or daily communication, it is difficult for these recruits from Liaodong to integrate in. The Nanhai camp is even more outrageous. They don't have the problem of integrating or not.
However, the scope of their recruitment of soldiers is definitely not new recruits.
Only those veterans who have served in the army for at least one year and participated in more than one battle are likely to be recruited by them. Moreover, even if they enter the Nanhai Camp, the things they learned before will not count, and they still have to be in the Nanhai Camp.
They will train in the new camp of the battalion for another three months. Those who can remain after these three months are considered soldiers of the Nanhai Battalion. As for those who cannot survive these three months, they will go back to where they came from.
Therefore, these two battalions are stationed in the main castle of Zhenjiang Fort, and there will be no outside recruits at all.
Whether it is friendly or enemy troops, you can imagine how difficult it is to know the news in Zhenjiang Fort.
However, the spies behind the scenes can't get in, and the spies on the surface cannot be stopped by Zhenjiang Fort.
Zu Zehong did not come alone when he came to Zhenjiang Fort this time. He was accompanied by a familiar guide. Ning Wan, I was very reluctant to return to this poor place, but now he can be regarded as Zu Dashou's subordinate.
He was even tasked with monitoring Zu Dashou and his son. Under such circumstances, how could he not come!
Anyway, he knew very well that it was impossible for Huang Taiji to trust Zu Dashou, a subordinate general, as much as he trusted the Eight Banners generals. Zu Dashou might really want to take Zhenjiang Fort as a certificate of surrender, or maybe it was just a pretense that he wanted to follow the plan.
In colluding with Daming, no one knows which of the two possibilities is what Zu Dashou really wants to do.
"What is General Zu going to do? The front is Zhenjiang Fort's sphere of influence. Right here, I'm afraid some of their patrolling soldiers will pass by!"
Standing on a small dirt bag, looking at a military fort looming in the distance, Ning Wanme asked Zu Zehong beside him.
"Detour to the west!" Zu Zehong looked at the distance: "Among the people we brought, there are Koreans, Ming people, and even armored men. It should be okay to pretend to be refugees!"
"First find a place to stay not close to them!" Zu Zehong said: "Then we will send people in to take a look. It is impossible that this Zhenjiang Fort is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. No, the Jin people can't get in, so why can't we get in?
Going?"
Ning Wan smiled bitterly, he knew where Zu Zehong's confidence lies, that is, Zu Zehong knew all the military details of the Ming army, let alone pretending to be a refugee, even if he pretended to be a Ming army, he still had a chance of success.
A group of people approached the military fort and saw shacks a few miles away. They approached these shacks cautiously and found that no one was checking them.
"This should be the place where the Ming army temporarily takes in the refugees!"
Zu Zehong did not dare to approach the checkpoints guarded by the Ming army, so he decided to stay here as a refugee for one night before talking about it. Ning Wan and I were naturally indispensable.
It is now the end of May, and the farmers in the fields have grown very tall. Staying in their shacks, they can often see people carrying farm tools coming in and out of the military forts guarded by the Ming army, as well as all the military forts.
Likewise, the Ming army seemed to be focused on the defense and safety of the military fort. After staying in front of this military fort for a whole day, Zu Zehong did not see many Ming army patrols.
Even though there were a few patrols, they only left the military fort, walked around the military fort and then returned. It seemed that the defense of such a military fort was not as tight as he imagined.
After dark, he left a few people in the shack, but he quietly left the shack with most of the people. He was worried that the Ming army would make dumplings in the shack in the dark. Even though he spent the night in the wild, it was not as comfortable as a shack.
But in his heart he felt much safer.
When I went back the next morning, everything was normal. The people who stayed in the shack were doing well, and there were no Ming troops visiting during the night.
Zu Zehong was finally a little relieved. He felt that the Ming army's defenses were really lax, and it was not a pretentious formation.
He felt he could make a difference.
After almost ten days, he felt that he had figured out the general situation of this "T-shaped fort". Except that he did not take the risk of sending people to the military fort to have a look, he had almost the same pattern of the Ming army's presence, the number of garrison troops, what kind of ordnance, etc.
After figuring everything out, he planned to leave a few people behind to see if they could sneak into the military fort among other refugees, and then he was going to take the people away to take a look at other military forts.
That night, hundreds of soldiers in the T-shaped fort appeared silently around the shack. By the time those in the shack heard the noise and reacted, they were already surrounded.
"Everyone held their heads and came out of the shack one by one!"
Outside the shack, there were angry shouts from the Ming army. Before Zu Zehong could give the order, more than a dozen figures had already fled from the shack. Then, a loud "bang bang bang" was heard, and there was a tragic scene outside.
After the cry, there was no movement.
"Is there anyone else who wants to die? Some are faster. Don't delay it. Brothers go back to sleep!"
The rampant voices of the Ming army continued. Zu Zehong and Ning Wanwo looked at each other and whispered in unison: "Fire gun!"
"Mr. Ning, don't move!" Zu Zehong said in a low voice. Then he stood up and raised the long knife in his hand: "Listen to me. It's dark outside. Let's fight out together. One of us who rushes out is
One, if anyone goes back alive and tells my father the news here, then I will say that I did not embarrass him!"
The spies around him all had expressions of sadness and anger on their faces.
"Listen to my order, one, two, three!" Zu Zehong shouted: "Come on!"
The huge shack was like a frightened hornet's nest. Countless figures flew out of the shack like wasps, but under the illumination of hundreds of torches outside, their figures were barely visible in the firelight.
Behind the groups of foot soldiers wearing heavy armor, the muzzles of the muskets continuously sprayed out flames, knocking the wasps trying to fly around to the ground one by one, and no one was spared.
