In order to avoid trouble, Huang Ande has been hiding in Sun Yuan's house in the barracks in Shuicheng. It is said to be a barracks, but in fact it is almost a small village. It is full of local soldiers and their families. On weekdays, people come and go, including those who are not soldiers.
They lived with people other than their family members, so these days the government office also conducted household registration checks to see if there were any suspicious outsiders, and many people were arrested at once. I heard that some of them were beheaded.
Sun Yuan is the governor's servant, so he doesn't have to do this. Huang Ande knows that although the chiefs are harsh in doing things, they are not murderous. They are more cautious in everything. Although the slogans are fierce, they never kill people casually. The Ming Dynasty's
Although Guan'er talks about benevolence and righteousness, he kills people very casually, especially when the situation is tense. Walking on the road, if you make a wrong look or movement, you may be arrested and beheaded at any time.
Huang Ande is taking a big risk by staying in Shuicheng. Because by tomorrow night, Shuicheng will fall, and no one knows what will happen in the chaos - history only records the experiences of those big shots.
The Great Library didn't find much information about what happened to the ordinary people, craftsmen and soldiers after the city fell.
Huang Ande's situation is not good - because both he and Sun Yuan are soldiers from Dengzhou, and they have always been at odds with the rebel Liao people. Even if Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng buy people's hearts, the soldiers under his command may not kill people to vent their anger.
.
Although Kong Youde had a special regard for Sun Yuanhua and not only saved his life, but even planned to promote him as king, this did not mean that he would be open to people like Sun Yuan and give him preferential treatment.
Huang Ande didn't know that Shuicheng would be broken tomorrow - but he was redeployed to the front of the city before Dengzhou was besieged. At that time, the chief personally summoned him and gave him instructions.
Lu Wenyuan told him clearly: "If Dengzhou cannot be defended, Shuicheng cannot be defended either."
The task Huang Ande received was simple: try to lurk in Shuicheng, use the "relationships" he had developed in the city in the past, and always pay attention to Sun Yuanhua's movements, especially Sun Yuanhua's movements once the city is broken in the future. If possible, it is best to wait directly
By Sun Yuanhua's side.
"The mission is very dangerous - first of all, you have to survive safely in the city," Chief Lu said, "Are you confident?"
"Yes!" Huang Ande responded without hesitation.
From the first day he changed his clothes and went to Dengzhou to "find connections," he knew he was going to be a spy.
Since he was a careful spy, he had to risk his life. He was mentally prepared for this.
Huang Ande is not a very ideological person, but Lingao has given him an unprecedented opportunity for personal development, not to mention that he also believes in "finding wealth through danger".
Relying on step-by-step battles and expansion to get promoted is too slow. In order to promote himself to lieutenant and captain as soon as possible, and live in a beautiful residence of a senior officer in the base, Huang Ande did not hesitate to take this risk.
As for why the chief asked him to pay attention to Sun Yuanhua's movements, although Chief Lu did not say it, there was no doubt that the chiefs wanted to save Governor Sun.
As for why he wanted to save Sun Yuanhua, the only reason Huang Ande could think of was because Chief Lu and Governor Sun believed in the same religion. Although he thought this was far-fetched, his experience in the Fubo Army had taught him that he should not ask questions.
Do not ask.
The only doubt he expressed was: What if Sun Yuanhua committed suicide?
Huang Ande had been in the Ming army and knew that a high-level official like Sun Yuanhua would either die in battle or commit suicide once the city was defeated. He would definitely not fall into the hands of the rebels. Otherwise, the court would not be able to spare him in the future.
Become ruined.
"It doesn't matter, Governor Sun will never commit suicide." Lu Wenyuan said.
As for why not, Chief Lu didn't say it, and Huang Ande didn't ask. In addition to the principle of not asking about things that shouldn't be asked, he was already used to the chiefs' "magic sticks" - many things were predicted by the chiefs.
It is extremely accurate, and the more important the matter is, the more accurate it is.
Outside the house, the watch had begun. There was dead silence. Huang Ande heard a noise in the yard, got off the kang, held the revolver, and opened the nose.
Then, he heard the sound of three stones falling to the ground in the yard, and he quickly turned off the plane again - this was the arrival of his people.
Since Huang Ande came to Dengzhou for the first time, he has developed more than 20 "relationships" in Shuicheng through "reminiscing about old times", "obeisance" and "finding relatives".
Some of these connections were just for gathering information and were not very reliable, but some were his childhood friends and accomplices who had engaged in the theft, reselling of official warehouses, and the beheading business.
Huang Ande selected twelve reliable and bold people based on the knowledge he learned from the leaders' lessons. Through small favors and constant ideological work, a small group gradually formed around him.
Sun Yuan is also one of them.
Of course, this small group has no political ideas, but the common characteristics are that they are at odds with the Liao people in Dengzhou; they have no good impression of the Ming Dynasty; their family economic conditions are difficult, and they have an urgent need to change the status quo. Finally, they are very loyal.
After Dengzhou was besieged, Huang Ande had quietly tested their attitudes in private gatherings to see if they would be willing to contribute. These twelve people said that he, "Big Brother Huang"/"Brother Huang", would do the job
As long as the work is not done for the "Liao people" or "Tatars", it can be done for anyone, and there is no need to worry about life and death.
Tonight, he asked a little brother from Sun Yuan's family to go to each house and inform them to come to the party in the evening.
He quickly opened the door and went out. There were already seven or eight people standing in the yard. Then the dark night fell, and they were all people he had personally recruited.
They didn't knock on the door from the main road, but jumped over the wall from the back alley. They were still walking on the street tonight, and they didn't escape even if they were caught and "executed" on the spot.
"Come to the house and talk!" he greeted softly.
A few people entered the house quietly. Huang Ande saw that everyone had entered the house, and then turned around to look after Sun Yuan's brother, asking him to quietly look after the yard.
When I entered the room, I saw seven people in total. Except for Sun Yuan, who was on duty at the governor's Yamen, there were four people who didn't come.
"Mr. Lu is a softie. He says he has diarrhea and can't come." The speaker was Zhu Si, the brother of Zhu San, his accomplice who stole the official warehouse with him. After Zhu San was beheaded after taking the blame, Zhu Si was
With the help of the robes, he also joined the army. He had a grudge against the army and the Ming Dynasty.
After Huang Ande contacted Sun Yuan, he went to Zhu's family to pay homage, and even went to Zhu San's grave to cry. He gave the Zhu family a lot of money, and paid homage to Zhu Si, saying that he would take care of him.
After some pretentiousness, he attracted Zhu Si over.
Except for the coward Lu Laonian, Huang Yang also refused to come. The other two were on duty and could not come.
"It's okay." Huang Ande didn't light the lamp, and there was no need to light it when he was talking - besides, when the whole camp was dark, a lamp would be very eye-catching.
"Excuse me, everyone, come here," Huang Ande said without being too polite. "As you all know, Kong Youde and Li Jiuzheng have arrived outside the city. Zhang Zhentai suffered another big defeat today. The Southern Army under his command is out of ten. Everywhere in the city
They are from Liao. Even the governor's central army is from Liao. They were both godsons under Mao Shuai's tent. Their relationship is unusual. There is no guarantee that they will open the city gate to meet the enemy. I see this.
Dengzhou City and Penglai Village will not survive for long."
This is not an alarmist statement. The Liao people in the city have been in turmoil since November, and they managed to maintain peace by relying on the government's hard and soft tactics. Although Sun Yuanhua tried his best to show his trust in the Liao generals to maintain their loyalty, others
People don't think so.
"The city will be destroyed in just a few days." A soldier named Cao Qing said, "The Liao people said they wanted to respond to Kong Youde's words, and they almost said it openly. A few days ago, Sun Junmen ordered the navy to
Deploy gunners to the fort on the water city - I heard that it is to prepare for someone on the other side of the Dongjiang River to respond to Kong Youde and the others."
Although the chaos in Dongjiang Town has been settled, the commander-in-chief Huang Long obviously has little ability to restrain Dongjiang's deployment. Moreover, he embezzled military pay and forced soldiers to dig ginseng in the mountains, which made Dongjiang's old troops hate him. Even the top soldiers hated him.
It can be seen that the old Dongjiang tribe is likely to launch a rebellion to echo Kong Youde.
Everyone is worried that once the city is broken, the rebels will kill and set fire on a large scale in the walled city to retaliate against the old Shandong soldiers.
"I don't think he can commit mass murder and arson. After all, this is his home base. If he really had to let go, a lot of his own people would die."
Once the army starts killing and looting, it will be completely out of control and become a bloody killing spree. The rebel army does not care whether you are from Liao, Southern or Shandong. Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng would not do this if they did not want to lose people's hearts.
have to.
Zhu Si said: "As long as we have no enemies from the Liao people and survive the three days in Kaicheng, we will be fine afterwards. But if we do this, we will have to follow him in rebellion."
The rebels will inevitably force the soldiers and civilians in the city to "become thieves", and then they will have no choice.
The word "rebellion" silenced several people in the room.
"Rebellion is rebellion," Cao Qing said in a low voice, "It's just that this kind of rebellion has no name! It's all the Liao people who have the final say. If we follow, we will only be their backers."
"No, we don't need to rebel." Huang Ande whispered, and he noticed that everyone in the darkness was looking towards him.
"Brothers, the so-called wealth can be found in danger. Of course it is dangerous for the rebels to break the city, but we can't just hide and let others manipulate us - there is a great fortune waiting for us all. It depends on whether you are willing to
Come on." (To be continued)
