Chapter 136 Pursuit

That night, Hangzhou was full of people.

The full city of Hangzhou was built in Renhe County. It was very large during the Qianlong period, covering an area of ​​nearly 2,000 acres.

It is not only a city within the city of Hangzhou, but also a small society and a military organization.

The biggest leader in the city is General Hangzhou, who has the deputy commander and the co-leaders of eight banners under him.

The Han military flag is also there, but its status is not high and it has always been the target of bullying by the Manchus and Mongolians.

Because the Manchu emperor did not trust them, even though they were die-hard traitors and had made great contributions and conquered most of the Ming Dynasty.

The entire city full of flag soldiers, including their families, probably numbered in the thousands.

This made it impossible for Li Jiang to kill them, and he had to chase Qianlong and others to receive the gift package, so he only picked the middle and high-level people to attack.

He sneaked in from Gongchen Gate and approached the Hangzhou General Office. He didn't know the exact location. Anyway, he just went to the largest, highest and most luxurious place.

Now in the 20th year of Qianlong's reign, the bannermen who entered the pass have become extremely corrupted. Apart from being loyal to the Manchus, their combat effectiveness may not be as good as the current Green Camp.

Otherwise, if the Taiping Army rebels in the future, why not mobilize them to suppress the rebellion? In the end, we have to rely on Zeng Shatou, Li Hefei and others to raise their own militia.

After Li Jiang came in, he faced a village in the city that was basically undefended.

Manchuria General Sarhadai stood guard at the Admiral's Mansion all night yesterday, and said goodbye to the emperor early this morning, which made him feel very tired.

Therefore, he summoned some of his favorite concubines, and the troupe also came, and they all had fun together.

When he was drunk and confused, the god of murder came to his door.

Li Jiang did not cover his face, but appeared majestically in the backyard of the General's Office wearing a Taoist robe.

He just wanted to let Qianlong know that he was taking revenge, and he could also give the Red Flower Club a heads-up. Did you see? Master Dao has helped you eliminate several die-hard elements. Don't take chances anymore. Armed struggle is the way to go.

The best way.

Li Jiang only killed the chief culprit, Salhadai, and did not attack the other women.

Before leaving, Li Jiang dipped a cloth in Salhadai's blood, picked up a high place, jumped up, and wrote: "Daoxuan, the one who destroys the demons"

After he finished writing, he laughed loudly, and in the eyes of the concubines, he seemed to be floating away in the air with emptiness.

That night, the whole city of Hangzhou was in chaos. The deputy commander was assassinated, and six bloody words were left in his home: "Daoxuan, the One Who Destroys the Demons".

Each banner leader has its own way of death.

Some died at home, and some died on the way to the general's mansion for rescue. The two characters for the banner commander of the Han army were different. Li Jiangtu simply changed "Qing Yao" to "traitor".

All the middle and high-level officials in the city were basically wiped out. Only one Zhengbai Banner Co-leader survived because Li Jiang could not find him.

And this lucky guy who escaped was playing with his wife at his subordinate's house at the time, so no matter how hard Li Jiang pressed his family, he still didn't know where he was.

I heard that when the leader of the Zhengbai Banner learned about the situation the next day, he was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder burst into tears. His family members didn't want him anymore, so he rolled up Xinruan and disappeared.

It was almost dawn, and Li Jiang, who had caused chaos all over the city, retreated. To be honest, he didn't kill many people, and he spent the whole night looking for people.

Those who cooperated with the work and answered all questions were fine, but those who did not cooperate with the work had to work hard, so Li Jiang was wasted for a long time.

During the day, the governor of the same city who received the news ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. They did not find Li Jiang. They only knew that a Taoist priest named "Daoxuan" was responsible for the matter, and they even sent someone to deliver it to the emperor at an eight hundred mile speed.

information.

The Qing court knew it was Li Jiang's, so they all followed Qianlong north. The people in the Red Flower Society also knew Li Jiang's identity. They were surprised when they learned the news, but other than admiration, they had no intention of informing him.

Therefore, the entire city of Hangzhou, both civil and military, was still in the dark and did not arouse enough vigilance.

That night, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang were assassinated at the same time.

Li Jiang did not attack the Chief Secretary and the Inspector General again because Zhejiang could not live without the government and needed them to maintain basic order. Otherwise, it would be the common people who would suffer in the end if there was chaos.

Li Jiang, who left Hangzhou that night, looked back at the shadow of the tall city wall of Hangzhou, but thought in his heart, Red Flower Club, Honghua Club, you have to strive for success!

Pindao has paved the way for you. Now there is no power in Zhejiang. As long as you can use this as a basis to collect wealth, promote ideas, and develop members, it may be possible to rebel against the Qing Dynasty in the future.

After a while, Li Jiang shook his head again. His intuition told him that Chen Jialuo would definitely not be like this. He still placed his hope on the peaceful performance...

Alas, I do my best to obey fate.

Li Jiang pursued Qianlong northward.

After chasing for two days without rest, he finally saw the emperor's chariot from a distance.

At this time, he was a little confused, why Qianlong didn't go north by boat, but had to go overland? Even if today's navigation technology is immature and cannot go north by sea ship, he can still go north by boat, which is safer.

Bar.

What's the good thing about traveling over land, which is bumpy and dusty?

After thinking for a long time, Li Jiang came to a conclusion.

First, Qianlong cared about his country and people and insisted on on-the-spot investigation. However, this is unlikely, because he must be like a frightened rabbit at the moment, eager to hide back to the capital as soon as possible.

Second, Qianlong believed that the imperial boat he was riding on the water was equivalent to a closed space. If Li Jiang came to the door, he would have no place to run except jumping into the water, so it was better to have room for maneuver on land, where he could attack and attack.

You can retreat and defend.

Third, there were garrisons everywhere on the land, and Qianlong could call for support along the way. Even if some were killed by Li Jiang, he could quickly replenish his troops.

Thinking of this, Li Jiang chuckled sinisterly and whispered: "I just want you to keep shaking people, otherwise how can you get a lot of faith points?"

That night, the emperor camped in a small town. Not long after setting up camp, a group of troops came to escort him. Under the arrangement of the emperor's personal soldiers, the new troops protected the outskirts of the town.

Li Jiang carefully observed this wave of reinforcements.

Their appearance is different from the braided dramas in later TV shows. The Qing soldiers on TV all wear uniforms, vests, big hats or red tassel hats, and there is a circle on the chest and back with the word "Bing" or "Bing" written on it.

"Courage".

Those wearing this kind of equipment are actually Green Camp soldiers or Xiang Yong.

But what Li Jiang sees now is quite different. These are the real elite soldiers of the Eight Banners. Because they are easy to distinguish, each of them is riding a horse and wearing a helmet, which is iron armor. The leader also has a long lightning rod.

Button it on your head.

It seems that Qianlong still believes in his "Manchu" compatriots. Li Jiang sighed secretly, becoming increasingly unfavorable about Chen Jialuo's strategy.
