Chapter 871 [Qingping China, sweeping away the remnants] nine
The sky was already bright. Although the morning sun had not yet come out, Mu Linfeng was already standing in front of the military camp, looking at the city of Nanjing shrouded in gray, with gusts of cool wind blowing by. Mu Linfeng felt no chill at all. At this time, a soldier
A galloping horse came to report that Yang Liu and Yang Qi's tunnel had been dug beneath the Nanjing Palace.
Mu Linfeng had been waiting for this moment. When he heard the news, he seemed a little calm. As soon as the tunnel was opened, he would have no worries and could attack Nanjing with peace of mind. However, the disastrous defeat of the Air Force and Long Qingyun's Army last night was still vivid in his mind.
At present, for Wu Xing's machine guns, judging from the ratio of the number of people sent by Long Qingyun to those who returned, the losses were quite heavy, and it is estimated that the Air Force will be difficult to use again in the Battle of Nanjing this time.
At this time, Tokugawa Jie walked up behind Mu Linfeng with a cloak, helped Mu Linfeng put it on, and then said: "Husband, you haven't slept all night, and the sky is not yet clear, so you should go and have a rest!"
Mu Linfeng turned around, held Tokugawa Jie's hand, smiled slightly, and then shook his head and said: "Yuanyuan, Saisai and the others haven't been successfully rescued yet, how can my husband fall asleep? It's better to wait until the battle in Nanjing subsides.
Rest!”
Tokugawa Ie didn't say anything after hearing this, but Mu Linfeng put his arm around Tokugawa Ie's shoulder, turned his head and continued to look into the distance, but Tagawa Miko brought a cup of hot tea to Mu Linfeng and said: "Husband, it's cold in the morning.
, let’s drink a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up!”
Mu Linfeng took the teacup and took a sip. He immediately felt warm in his heart. Then he threw away the teacup and hugged Tagawa Meiko into his arms. He hugged Tokugawa Ie and Tagawa Meiko on both sides. Mu Linfeng once again felt the excitement in his heart.
With the thought of her women returning to Australia for seclusion, she was thinking to herself, I wonder how Zheng Xiyu and Zheng Lianxiang would live there...
On the Meridian Gate Square in Nanjing City, there were densely lined up soldiers, all of whom were fully armed. Wu Xing stood on the tower and yawned, trying hard to open his sleepy eyes. At this time, a man walked beside him and stood.
Next to Wu Xing, he whispered: "Mr. Wu, there is going to be a good show today. I really can't wait!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xing turned to look at the man, and then said: "Mr. Tokugawa, did you respond to the spies you photographed around the palace? What on earth is Mu Linfeng planning?"
The person who came was none other than Tokugawa Ie's younger brother, Tokugawa Ietaka. He smiled slightly and then said to Wu Xing: "Mr. Wu, this is exactly why I came here...According to the report from our secret agent from the Ansei Association,
Mu Linfeng may have dug a tunnel from outside the city to the bottom of the Nanjing Palace!"
Wu Xing's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and he quickly looked at Tokugawa Jiataka and said: "Is this happening? Why are you here to report it now?"
Tokugawa Iatetaka said at this time: "Mr. Wu, our Anqinghui is not omnipotent. Nanjing is now completely blocked, and the members of the Anqinghui are all around the palace. We can only wait until they dig a tunnel to get here before they notice anything."
, but Mu Linfeng dug the tunnel all night, and now he has reached the bottom of the palace. Mr. Wu, did your people not notice it at all? "
Wu Xing did not answer Tokugawa Iatetaka's question. He turned to look at the soldiers who had finished gathering in front of the Meridian Gate, and then said: "Mr. Tokugawa, these people are preparing for the palace..."
Hearing this, Tokugawa Jiataka looked at Wu Xing, his face changed slightly, and then he smiled and said: "It turns out that Mr. Wu has already noticed it. Are you going to the palace to prepare for the final attack on the palace?"
Wu Xing looked down at the soldiers in front of the Meridian Gate without changing his expression. At this time, he was looking far into the distance, but heard Tokugawa Iatetaka saying in Wu Xing's ear: "Mr. Wu, my An Qinghui also found out a piece of news...
…”
Wu Xing turned to look at Tokugawa Jiataka, only to hear Tokugawa Jiataka say calmly: "Chen Dahan is not dead, and he is secretly in contact with Wang Zhizhen..." Wu Xing heard this and his heart moved, but he did not speak...
In the palace of Nanjing City, Tokugawa Jiahezi and Hong'er were watching a dozen soldiers digging dirt in the corner of the backyard. Tokugawa Jiahezi kept saying: "Speed up and get through as soon as possible..."
The other women all looked tired, obviously they had not slept all night, and were waiting for the tunnel to be opened to escape from the city to meet their husbands. Zhong Nanping looked a little pale at this, and Lan'er and Ma Xianglan were helping to take care of her.
They all know that Zhong Nanping's due date is within the next few days...
Kong Wu was patrolling the front and back yards to prevent mistakes at the most critical moment. At this time, Fang Pride was also patrolling with a group of people. When they met Kong Wu, the two told each other with their eyes that they had found nothing unusual.
And then suddenly a soldier came to report: "General Kong, Mr. Fang, a large number of people came outside the palace gate, all of them are well-equipped, and more than 30 artillery pieces were added..."
Kong Wu and Fang Guoao were startled when they heard the explanation. They rushed to the front yard of the palace at the same time, climbed onto the bamboo ladder on the side, and looked outside. Although there were many people here before yesterday, they were all hiding in the dark.
I have seen recently that the front door of the palace is already densely packed with people, and there are people everywhere. Everyone is holding a spear and waiting in place. It seems that as soon as the general gives the order, he will immediately start to attack the palace, which is not far away.
The artillery was placed one next to another, the artillery hand held a torch, and the range of the artillery had been adjusted. In another section of the street, there was a rush of footsteps. It seemed that there were soldiers coming here in an endless stream.
..
Kong Wu and Fang proudly jumped down immediately. They looked at each other and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. Fang proudly said to all his followers: "Brothers are on high alert and ready to fight at any time!"
Hearing this, the Ice Breakers cheered up one after another and tightened their muskets that had never left their hands. Some people held the homemade gun tubes in their hands, while the other hand held a torch, which they could light at any time.
Still going out...
Kong Wu and Fang Zizi quickly returned to the backyard and said to the women: "Madams, everyone should be prepared to leave as soon as the tunnel is dug. It is not appropriate to stay here for a long time!"
When all the women heard what Kong Wu and Fang Zouzi said, their faces showed nervousness. Originally, these women were not afraid of death, but they were a little reluctant to leave Mu Linfeng in their hearts. It felt a little uncomfortable to break up with Mu Linfeng like this.
willingly.
At this moment, a loud bang was heard in the front yard, and then he immediately ran into the backyard with the soldiers, shouting: "The enemy has blown up the gate of the house and is attacking..."
Kong Wu rushed out immediately, then turned to the other party and said proudly: "Mr. Fang, I'll leave that to you, sir..." Before he could finish his words, he rushed out immediately.
As soon as Kong Wu rushed to the front yard, he heard another bang. A certain wall on one side of the backyard had been blown down. Fang proudly changed his face and immediately said to the women: "Ladies, please stand over here..."
…”
In a tent in the Mu Linfeng military camp outside Nanjing, Yang Geng and other brothers from Shibazhi were sitting around. Zheng Chenggong stood in the middle with a stern face. Yang Geng stood up at this time, cupped his hands and said: "Master, Nanjing is now
The war is about to break out, no matter how Mu and Wu win, this is an excellent opportunity for our Zheng family to stand up!"
Zheng Zhibao and others also looked at Zheng Chenggong at this time. Zheng Chenggong was pacing in the tent, then turned to look at Yang Geng and said: "Mr. Yang, if Wu Xing wins, how can we reverse the situation just by relying on these dozen uncles and brothers?"
? Or should we follow the established policy and help Mu Linfeng pacify Nanjing first, and then make other plans..."
Zheng Zhibao stood up at this time, walked to Zheng Chenggong, patted Zheng Chenggong on the shoulder, and then said: "Whatever decision Fusong makes, we will definitely..." At this time, he looked at Zheng Chenggong and said: "But what Mr. Yang just said is
It's not unreasonable. Now Mu Linfeng has a grudge against us. Mr. Yang asked him to transfer our brothers to the navy. Although Mu Linfeng didn't directly refuse, it can be seen that he is already wary of us... plus
Mu Linfeng burned the secret letter sent by Zhang Jian after reading it, without saying a word to Mr. Yang and Brother Chen. This was clearly to warn us... I am afraid that even if we help Mu Linfeng take Nanjing, we
Brothers Shibazhi don’t get much use..."
The other Shibazhi brothers nodded after hearing this. Li Kuiqi, who was standing guard outside the tent, coughed a few times. Everyone in the tent had a look on his face. Yang Geng's expression remained unchanged at this time and he said: "Master Mu has accepted it.
Yang’s suggestion, when we take action, brothers must do their best and help the master rescue his wife..."
Shibazhi's brothers nodded in agreement after hearing this. At this moment, Li Kuiqi said outside the tent: "Sir, you are here!" Then Mu Linfeng's voice came: "Oh, it's getting late. Mu is looking for Yang.
Sir, we have something important to discuss..."
At this time, Yang Geng walked out of the camp, cupped his hands to Mu Linfeng and said, "Sir, do you have a suitable discussion? You might as well enter the camp to negotiate!"
Mu Linfeng's face was full of fatigue at this time, he glanced at the tent, and then smiled and said: "So all the uncles and brothers are here..." As he spoke, he took Yang Geng's hand and said: "Mr. Yang is here to come to Mu."
Let’s discuss it in detail at the camp!”
Yang Geng had no choice but to follow Mu Linfeng. As soon as Mu Linfeng and Yang Geng left, Zheng Zhilong walked out of the tent and asked Li Kuiqi, "Has Mu Linfeng noticed anything?"
