Looking at the slow advance of the cannons in front of them, the archers advanced in an orderly manner, and the black mass of infantry took steady steps and shouted loud and threatening slogans, directly frightening the defenders of Yingtian Mansion.
They were terrified. Facing the black muzzle, few people dared to face it directly.
Even a city wall several meters thick can be blasted away directly. There is probably nothing left of their flesh and blood bodies in front of the cannon.
Those leaflets were naturally Zhu Ling's idea. He was unwilling to use force first. After all, this was also the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty. He couldn't bombard it with artillery at will, otherwise he would be heartbroken. Secondly, in order to write these leaflets, it was also
It cost several hundred taels of silver and hired many talented people.
It took me a day or two to finally finish it, but then making a hot air balloon became a problem again.
First of all, there is the problem of materials. In ancient times, modern materials could not be made at all, and hot air balloons must be made of that kind of material. But in order to settle down, we can only temporarily use cowhide and other similar materials. It is not intended to make people
It's just a matter of putting some leaflets up there. The requirements don't actually have to be that strict.
It took a while to finally build a few hot air balloons, and then released them in the direction of Yingtian Mansion.
Looking from a distance, when those hot air balloons passed over Yingtian Mansion, they exploded after a while due to problems with materials and manufacturing techniques. The leaflets inside were naturally scattered on the ground, and were blown to Yingtian Mansion by the wind.
every corner of.
Naturally, many people in Yingtianfu saw the hot air balloon and picked up the leaflets on the ground.
Even though Liu Liangzuo had sent soldiers to collect leaflets as soon as possible and ordered the people not to go out, they still couldn't stop them from reading the leaflets. After all, many leaflets landed directly at people's homes. The people in Yingtianfu City were too
There are many, and there are really many yards.
Therefore, it is inevitable that many leaflets will be seen by the people, and even take them home in large quantities: in addition to reading - it is also good to cook over a fire. If not, it is also great to let your children practice calligraphy.
.
But it is undeniable that this move really messed up the situation of Ma Shiying and others. They never expected that His Majesty would still use this move, in a way they had never seen before on the day of the enthronement ceremony. In fact, this move
Some people have used it in history, and most of them used bows and arrows to shoot in.
It has both a threatening meaning and the purpose of conveying one's own intentions.
But Zhu Ling thought stingily: If he shoots the leaflets with bows and arrows, wouldn’t it be the Ming Dynasty version of borrowing arrows from straw boats? Fortunately, at least he borrowed them at a certain risk early in the morning. If he was really like this
What he did was to act innocently and foolishly and send arrows to others. He thought he was not that stupid.
And now his 50,000 troops are displayed outside Yingtian Mansion, plus ten cannons, which is enough to scare the defenders of Yingtian Mansion. I just don’t know if Liu Liangzuo and the others will surrender wisely, or if anyone inside will surrender. After all,
, this is a civil strife within our own family, and after all, we still don’t want to make a big deal out of it.
At this time, the undercover agent arranged by Wu Linzheng and others to drug the 10,000 men guarding Guan Ning's army also quietly infiltrated into the cook's team.
In fact, to feed 10,000 people, the cooking kitchen alone requires hundreds of people. However, it would be unrealistic to find hundreds of people to administer medicine one by one. Moreover, not all the soldiers guarding Guan Ning's army are there. They
They all rotate according to shifts. After all, it is impossible for 10,000 people to stay here all the time.
After a rough estimate, the actual number of soldiers guarding Guan Ning's army did not exceed one thousand.
The other soldiers are in other places. Although it is not very far from here, it is definitely not close. They only need to put the medicine in and then give it to the guarding soldiers. It is not too difficult.
Things went very smoothly. More than a dozen people poured all the sweat medicine in their arms into it, and then stirred it vigorously until they couldn't see clearly whether there was any medicine in it.
Vegetable juice meals can be used as medicine, but other dry meals cannot be used.
But for some reason today, the steamed buns made by the chef today were unexpectedly delicious. Many soldiers rushed to grab the steamed buns and ate them. However, the food they ate did not contain any medicine, so the people around them who were waiting for them to faint were stunned.
People look extremely nervous.
At this time, Zheng Chenggong was leading a large number of people who were waiting for news. It was agreed before that as soon as they succeeded, they would immediately send one person to raise a flag.
But now almost an hour has passed, and there is no movement. Zheng Chenggong, who has always been very patient, is anxious. After all, if he fails, he is likely to be discovered. They also saw the leaflet just now, until His Majesty will attack today
As long as they release Guan Ning's army inside the city, Yingtian Mansion will be destroyed within three hours!
But at this moment... it's very worrying.
…
"Tell the brothers inside that the steamed buns and food were cooked well today! They are delicious!"
Mr. Qian was munching on the steamed buns, which tasted more delicious than any meat he had ever tasted in his mouth, one after another. The soldiers around him also ate happily and praised today's meal one after another.
They are all big-headed soldiers, and they don't get anything good to eat. This is their daily food, so if it is cooked well, they will naturally find it delicious.
An undercover agent beside him trembled and plucked up the courage to say, "Sir, drink some soup. You'll choke easily if you eat steamed buns."
Hearing his words, Mr. Qian was also reminded. While eating, he said: "Yes, yes, I need to drink some." Then he invited others to drink soup together. They were even rough people who ate very fast, and among the meals
Usually there is soup.
Watching them drink the soup, those people couldn't help but feel relieved.
Sure enough, after a while, they all felt dizzy and couldn't stand still. Only Mr. Qian reacted and turned back to look at them in surprise. The shocked look in his eyes showed that he had discovered the conspiracy. But he
He didn't have the ability to break this conspiracy, so he just lay down.
Several people came over soon after and said that they had fainted. The leader immediately felt relieved and immediately raised the flag according to the pre-arranged code.
After Zheng Chenggong, who had been waiting outside for a long time, saw it, he was overjoyed and knew that the matter was successful! He immediately ordered all his men to attack the guard Guan Ningjun
's prison.
"Brothers, from today onwards, you are free!"
With a loud shout, all the cell doors were opened, and Guan Ningjun, who had been imprisoned for almost a month, was finally released. Looking at the blue sky outside, feeling the long-lost sunshine, he felt countless happiness and excitement.
At this time, Wu Linzheng also strode in. Seeing that his Guan Ning army finally returned to his arms, he could not hide his excitement. He immediately said: "Everyone, soldiers! Eradicate the rebels, protect our Ming Dynasty, kill!"
After saying that, Guan Ning's troops poured out of the prison one after another, picked up the weapons of the guards, and rushed towards the other guards guarding them.
