Lishui to Nanjing must pass through the Ningzhen Mountains. Among them, Moling Pass at the foot of the mountain and Dasheng Pass on the Yangtze River are important checkpoints to Nanjing. The geographical location is very important, so the Qing army has guards at both passes. The Jiangning Green Camp is stationed at Moling Pass, with more than 700 guards. The guardian Liang Shilun is not from Jiangning, but from Chang'an County, Xi'an. General Su Song Liang Huafeng is his uncle's cousin.

Liang Huafeng liked this cousin very much and kept it with him. He first served as a personal soldier, and later he took the position of the Biao battalion. When Liang Huafeng led his troops from Suzhou to rescue Jiangning, Liang Shilun also followed him. As a result, Liang Huafeng defeated the Zheng army and Liang Shilun also made great contributions. After the war, his cousin recommended him to the Governor of Liangjiang and was appointed as the garrison of Moling Pass. Although he was only a local garrison and no more than a Biao battalion, he was also a fifth-rank military officer. Liang Shilun was young and had his cousin to take care of him, so his future would be optimistic.

After the pirates retreated, Jiangnan's admiral Guan Xiaozhong led 8,000 troops to Susong to recover the lost territory. Later, Prince An of Jiangning, Yue Le, was worried that Ma Fengzhi and Guan Xiaozhong could not bear to see the pirates, so he asked Liang Huafeng to take his troops to Susong. In this way, Susong gathered three elite troops of the Qing army in Jiangnan. Even if the pirates really had the idea of ​​leaving and returning, they had to consider whether they could defeat these three elite troops first.

Before leaving Jiangning, Liang Huafeng went to Moling Pass and told his cousin that although the main force of the pirates had retreated, Jiangning was still a little chaotic. There were a large number of unruly people and pirate soldiers who had once communicated with the thieves, and some places were still controlled by rebels. Therefore, Moling Pass must be optimistic and must not be careless. In this regard, Liang Shilun nodded and repeatedly assured his cousin that with him, Moling Pass would be foolproof.

Before leaving, Liang Huafeng's cousin told me something, saying that recently there have been thieves full of Mongolian soldiers in various prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River. These thieves falsely passed the orders of the governor of Liangjiang, not only killing local loyal officers and soldiers, but also destroying the information and military posts. No one can tell the true or false of their identities, causing panic among local people and suspicion of officers and soldiers.

Liang Huafeng warned his cousin that Moling Pass was related to Jiangning's safety, so no matter who came, even if the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers arrived, they had to carefully print the pass to prevent them from coming in. Otherwise, they would not be able to open the door if they shouted, and he would bear the consequences.

After his cousin left, Liang Shilun was really loyal to his duties for several days, urging soldiers to guard the situation every day. The checkpoints were checked very strictly, for fear that the people would get over. He was also very concerned about the fake Manchu and Mongolian soldiers whom his cousin told him, so he specially arranged personal soldiers to be on duty at the checkpoint. If Manchu and Mongolian soldiers came, they would come to report immediately, otherwise no one would open the city.

After a few days, it was peaceful. Not only was there no fake Manchu and Meng soldiers coming to deceive the pass, but there were not even a few defeated soldiers. In addition, he heard that all counties near Jiangning had been recovered one after another, Liang Shilun couldn't help but slacking off, thinking that his cousin was too careful and some of the plants and trees were all soldiers. Without the support of the pirate army, could those defeated and unlucky soldiers turn the sky in Jiangnan? Moreover, Moling Pass is not on the riverside, and it is facing the west direction of Zhejiang. It is relatively safer than Dasheng Pass. After all, the pirates came up along the river and did not go too far. There are chaos along the river, and the area of ​​Moling Pass cannot be chaotic.

In the evening of the day, as the sun was about to set, Liang Shilun asked his personal soldiers to get some wine and food, and was preparing to call a few of his confidants to have some drinks and drinks, and then make a few bets. The wine and food here had just been prepared, but the door closed but came to report that Mongolian soldiers had arrived.

Mongolian soldiers?

Liang Shilun was stunned. The first thing he thought of was the fake Manchu and Mongolian soldiers that his cousin told him, so he hurriedly brought people to the close. He thought that if the thief was fake, he would give the other party a blow to let them know that they were powerful and at the same time earn some rewards for their first-level merits. Unexpectedly, when he went to Guancheng, he saw that the thief was not a fake Manchu and Mongolian soldiers, but a Mongolian soldiers!

There were about three or four hundred Mongolian soldiers under the pass, all of which were cavalry, with white flags, and all of them were riding Mongolian war horses. The people looked like the second Mongolian uncle.

The Mongolian soldiers seemed to understand the rules very well. They did not shout and curse because the defenders did not open the door immediately. Instead, they sent a Mongolian officer in Chinese to put the guards and military orders on the city to hang the basket.

After putting things in, the Mongolian officer shouted to the city: "Recently, many thieves pretended to be my Manchu and Mongolian soldiers. They carefully checked the defenses on the pass, and prepared some wine, food and horse materials. When we came all the way from Wuhu, we were hungry and needed to fill our stomachs."

After hearing this, Liang Shilun was undoubtedly worried about the second Mongolian masters below, because if the thief pretended, how could he say such fluent Mongolian words? What is more important is where did they come from? It should be noted that even if they were under his cousin, they only had more than 30 Mongolian war horses!

The personal soldiers showed Liang Shilun the pass of the Mongolian soldiers. It was indeed the pass of the military order issued by the Governor of Liangjiang. There was no doubt at this moment. While he was busy asking people to prepare wine, food and horse materials, he personally led people down to open the door to welcome the Mongolian soldiers. Unexpectedly, after the Mongolian soldiers entered the pass, they immediately drew their swords and slashed, and shouted in Mongolian language while chopping them.

Liang Shilun was so scared that his soldiers were stunned. He couldn't figure out what was going on. Why did the Mongolian soldiers kill them?

Some people called for grievances, some ran around, but none of them dared to resist. Even Liang Shilun was also captured by the majesty of the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers. In fear, they ran away with their heads and did not dare to order a counterattack. When Liang Shilun finally woke up, the Moling Pass had already fallen into the hands of the Mongolian soldiers, and the man and a group of remaining soldiers were surrounded by the Mongolian soldiers. Except for the 100 people killed on the spot, none of the remaining defenders ran away.

After the control of the door was closed, Namutu immediately sent people to light a few bonfires on the door to report to the main force behind. Seeing the city gate, the Taiping Army soldiers hiding on both sides of the road immediately cheered and advanced to Guanzhong in groups.

Several miles away, after hearing the blind Li's report, Zhou Shixiang smiled and said to Zhang Huangyan beside him: "Sir Shangshu, Moling Pass is coming."

"Down?"

Zhang Huangyan, who looked haggard because of the fast horses that had been moving fast for several days, was stunned at first, and then sighed: "The Manchuria and Mongolian Special Operations Team of the Duke of Guangdong is really a powerful weapon, and it is always unfavorable."

Luo Lun, who came with Zhang Huangyan, was also very impressed, but asked curiously: "Don't the Duke of Guangdong have no worries about the Qing army seeing the flaws?"

"flaw?"
