Shang Yi also knew that in history, the official who reported Zhou Yanru to Chongzhen was Luo Yangxing, the commander of the imperial guard capital in the last Ming Dynasty.
The grudge between Luo Yangxing and Zhou Yanru is also a microcosm of the history of Chinese officialdom. In the early years, in order to climb to the position of chief minister of the cabinet, Zhou Yanru had a fierce fight with Luo Yangxing, and Luo Yangneng served as the commander of the Jinyi Guards. Zhou Yanru also made a lot of efforts secretly.
But when one of them became the chief minister of the cabinet and the other became the commander of the Royal Guards, it was not like the fairy tale ending of "the two lived happily ever after", but they immediately changed from close comrades-in-arms to close comrades-in-arms. Things like becoming irreconcilable enemies, burning bridges across rivers, and trying to undermine each other happened one after another.
However, at the beginning, Zhou Yanru took advantage of his advantageous position as the chief minister of the cabinet to launch an attack. He wrote a letter asking Chongzhen to cancel the Jinyiwei's power to investigate crimes because Jinyiwei's reputation was really bad. Therefore, this proposal also won the support of many officials, although It was not accepted by Chongzhen, but he still imposed many restrictions on Jin Yiwei's power. Under this situation, Luo Yangxing could only swallow his anger, but secretly kept looking for opportunities to overthrow Zhou Yanru.
Now the opportunity has finally come. As long as Shen Yang and others return to Beijing, explain Shang Yi's contribution to Chongzhen face to face, and expose Zhou Yanru's lies, they may bring down Zhou Yanru in one fell swoop. Therefore, Luo Yangxing did not hesitate to work for Shang Yi. He took charge of everything and went to prison to see Shang Yi personally to give him advice on how to deal with the trial.
It's just that Shang Yi didn't expect that he would be involved and become one of the parties involved. Is this the inertia of history itself, or is it because of his own appearance that history develops on the right track? Although he traveled to this It has been almost ** months, and the looting by the Qing army in Shandong has been reduced a lot. But overall, history is still developing in the direction Shang Yi knew, and there is no sign of change. .
After Luo Yangxing left, although Shang Yi did not believe everything he said, his case finally turned around, so Shang Yi was in a good mood. However, Zeng Hualong, who was imprisoned diagonally across from him, remained the same. Silently. Only then did Shang Yi realize that Zeng Hualong was actually implicated by him and he was quite sorry for him. But now he couldn't tell him about the situation, so he could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that Shen Yang and the others If he can return to Beijing early and his grievances are cleared, Zeng Hualong can be released from prison.
Two days later, Shang Yi was not interrogated, but Ye Yaoyao came to visit the prison again. While delivering food, he also brought their preliminary plan to rob the prison. Shang Yi also brought Luo Yangxing to the prison. After hearing this, Ye Yaoyao couldn't help but be overjoyed. After all, it would be great to be able to solve Shang Yi's matter through normal channels. Prison robbery is only necessary when he has no choice but to do so. A method that will only be used when the time comes.
But even though she was happy, Ye Yaoyao was still not completely relieved, and said in a low voice: "Ms. sir, although with the participation of Jin Yiwei, the chance of rescuing you from prison is 70-80%, we still can't give up the last resort. , what if Jin Yiwei is no longer able to do it? Therefore, the plan to rob the prison must continue to be prepared until you are really released from prison."
As she spoke, she opened the food box and took out a bowl with more than a dozen duck eggs in it. Ye Yaoyao took away the top few, revealing two miniature grenades that Shang Yi brought when he traveled through time. Although these grenades are small in size,
Small, but using the latest high-efficiency explosives in the 21st century, the power of the explosion is extremely powerful. Shang Yi brought a total of twelve, only one was used, and the other eleven were not discarded. And think about Ye Yao
What Ai said was good. He still had to prepare for the worst. So he took the two grenades, hid them beside him, and then said: "You should also be careful and don't expose too much."
Ye Yaoyao said again: "Ms. sir, I have a lot of time to come and I will be leaving soon. Do you have anything else to tell me?"
Shang Yi thought for a while and said: "You ask someone to find out where Luo Yangxing's home is, and give him five thousand taels of silver, but don't give him cash. Find a bank, keep the money, and give him the money order."
, remember to save at your own bank separately."
Ye Yaoyao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it right after I get back."
Shang Yi added: "There are also the prisoners, heads, armor, and weapons we brought. These are the evidence that we defeated the Qing army. We must keep them safe. I think you'd better go out of the city and take the team farther away."
, find a secluded place to camp. Listen to my message."
Ye Yaoyao said, "Okay, I'll do it separately." After saying that, she threw herself into Shang Yi's arms, kissed him on the face, and said, "Mr., take care of yourself." Then she turned around and went out.
After returning from prison, Ye Yaojia immediately summoned Zhou Shaohuan, Tong Dayong, Cheng Jin, Cheng Gang, Duan Peng and other five people and told them about the turning point.
After hearing the news, the five people were also very happy. Although they were all willing to participate in the prison robbery, everyone knew that the risk of prison robbery was too great, and the chance of success was only three points at most. And even if the prison robbery was successful, it would not
It means that everything is fine, and the difficult things are still to come. If normal means can be used to rescue Shang Yi from prison, that would be the best.
Ye Yaoyao then told the two things that Shang Yi had ordered. After everyone listened, they all thought that these two things should be done immediately. So Ye Yaoyao immediately made arrangements, leaving Cheng Jin and brother Cheng Gang to lead
He and the three musketeers went to store money separately in the city, while he, Zhou Shaohuan, Tong Dayong, and Duan Peng went out of the city to rearrange the troops for the stronghold, and when they came back, they were going to give gifts to Luo Yangxing.
After the assignment was completed, everyone immediately split up. Ye Yaoyao, Zhou Shaohuan and three other people came to the Muling Army barracks outside the city. Because the Muling Army's military discipline was very strict, nothing happened in the camp in the past few days.
Ye Yaogui and others inspected the prisoners. Their heads, armor, weapons, and flags were all well preserved, especially the prisoners. Although their movements were restricted, they were provided with two meals a day, so although they were all in low spirits.
, but his complexion seems to be in good condition.
Naturally, Ye Yaojia and others could not inform the whole army about Shang Yi's imprisonment now. They only said that Shang Yi was still in the city, waiting for news from the court, and ordered the whole army to move to another place.
Because the soldiers all knew that Ye Yaogui was Shang Yi's wife, Zhou Shaohuan and Tong Dayong were also the main generals in Muling's army, and Duan Peng was Shang Yi's chief of guard, they had no doubts about their orders and were ready to leave immediately.
Zhou Shaohuan then sent out reconnaissance cavalry to find a suitable place to station. When the whole army was almost tidied up, the reconnaissance cavalry also came back to report that they had found a suitable place to station, about thirty miles northeast. So the large group of troops
Set off immediately and follow the scout cavalry.
The men and horses were marching along for about twenty miles, when suddenly a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats came from far and near. Only seven or eight horses were seen coming towards them, one galloping in front, and the others
They were more than ten steps away, chasing after each other closely.
As they gradually got closer, everyone could see that the person running away in front was wearing a red flying fish suit, while the person behind was wearing a green suit, with black cloth wrapped around their heads and faces, only two eyes exposed, and everyone had a sword in their hand.
Weapons, two of them were holding bows and arrows, obviously they were chasing.
The Mu Ling Army also stopped, and the soldiers who were on guard duty all prepared their muskets. Zhou Shaohuan said: "Judging from their clothes, the people in front of them seem to be Jin Yiwei, right? Who else is so courageous?
Chasing Jin Wei?"
Tong Dayong also nodded and said: "I think it is also Jin Yiwei's costume." Because Shen Yang and a group of people had lived in Muling Pass for several days, they were no strangers to Jin Yiwei's Feiyu suit and could recognize it at a glance.
At this time, Duan Peng was still sharp-eyed and said: "Look, isn't that Zhao Zhenfu? Who could be chasing him?"
Zhao Zhenfu was the one who first promoted Zhao Congfu from the fourth rank with Shen Yang. Among their group of Jinyi guards, he and Zhou Wei were both Zhenfu, and Zhao Congfu personally led the Jinyi guards, Wu Hansheng and others into Jinan City.
He encouraged the captured people to launch a riot and captured Jinan in one fell swoop. After this battle, the Muling army respected Zhao Congfu and became very familiar with him.
Ye Yaoyao said: "Send out immediately to rescue Zhao Zhenfu. No matter who is chasing him, don't let him go." She naturally knows who Zhao Congfu is. It can be said that Shang Yi's safety now depends entirely on Zhao Congfu and the others.
There was a group of people, so when I heard it was him, I immediately ordered rescue.
Duan Peng was the first to react and immediately ordered: "Follow me to the 273rd Platoon of the Reconnaissance Battalion and go to rescue Zhao Zhenfu immediately. Don't let him go." He took the lead and rushed out, while more than fifty people from one platoon
He also followed him and rushed forward from the diagonal stab.
The reconnaissance team all had horses. After he approached to a distance of fifty or sixty steps, Duan Peng got off his horse, raised the modified flintlock Lumi gun in his hand, and pulled the trigger, only to hear a "boom" sound.
, a knight who was chasing Zhao Congfu was beaten so hard that he flew off his horse and rushed over. With a bloody line, he flew more than two feet away and fell to the ground.
The other chasing knights were surprised when they discovered the Muling Army. Seeing that there were so many of them, they did not dare to challenge them. They all drew their horses to leave. But it was too late. Another platoon of fifty soldiers was waiting in line.
Under the command of the commander, Yi Jing quickly formed a three-row formation. The sixteen people in the front row raised their muskets at the same time. After only one row of shooting, four of the remaining six pursuers were killed.
Although two others were not shot, their horses were killed and they fell to the ground.
But the two men got up from the ground and ran backwards. At this time, the second row of muskets from the Muling Army also started firing. After the gunshots were heard, the remaining two people also fell face-first to the ground.
