Two days later at night, the Ming army camp was brightly lit.
But on the specially leveled school field, one team led by Chongzhen was having a fierce battle with another team led by Xu Yingwei, playing a football match.
Chongzhen was really good and actually went to the front line of the Northern Expedition to play football.
But then again, Chongzhen's move was not aimless, but there was a certain reason in it.
Because the current Ming army and Jiannu have formed a de facto stalemate, this boring confrontation is the most boring. If the soldiers cannot find something to do, psychological problems will easily occur.
Originally, the soldiers could have been asked to dig trenches and consume excess energy.
But now that two layers of blockade trenches had been dug around Beijing, there was really no need to dig a third layer of blockade trenches, so Chongzhen thought of introducing football matches.
This thing not only allows the soldiers to vent their mental pressure and maintain strong fighting spirit, but also exercises the soldiers' bodies so that they will not be wasted due to long-term confrontation.
Finally, Chongzhen also wanted to find some entertainment activities for the world.
In another world, football is always a pain in the hearts of Chinese people.
But in this world, Chongzhen will never let tragedy happen again.
Chinese people are capable of playing football well regardless of body, consciousness or mental will. The reason why they cannot play well in another world is entirely because of system corruption.
But in this world, Chinese football has the full support of the emperor, and the future is promising.
The rules of football were completely introduced by Chongzhen according to later generations. The only difference may be that the texture of the football is worse. After all, there is no inflatable technology and the football can only be filled with fillers.
The blue team got a free kick and Zheng Sen hit a powerful volley from outside the penalty area.
Just hearing a muffled "bang" sound, the football immediately drew an arc in the air, then brushed against the edge of the wall lined up by Chongzhen and six other players, and hung straight into the far corner.
Although Jiang Tianyi, who served as the red team's goalkeeper, tried hard to save the ball, he still missed it.
Just after Zheng Sen scored from a long shot, the referee Wang Jiayan also blew the final whistle, and the score was fixed at 4 to 3. The blue team of Xu Yingwei and Zheng Sen won the victory.
"Your Majesty, I accept it, haha."
Zheng Sen trotted over and smiled at Chongzhen.
"You're just laughing, it's just good luck." Chongzhen said angrily.
This must be good luck. This kid Zheng Sen has only played football for a few months and he can kick the full moon scimitar? Guixin, this must be good luck, otherwise there is no way to explain it.
While the two were talking, the football rolled over again.
Zheng Sen took advantage of the situation and fired another volley. As a result, the ball drew an arc and flew into the far corner of the net.
"Oh shit!" Chongzhen swore directly and really kicked a curve ball? What kind of talent is this? It's a pity that he was born three hundred years earlier. What a waste.
Zhang Huangyan trotted over and rushed over.
Chongzhen immediately threw the Mingjiu that he had just taken two sips to Gao Qiqian, and asked Zhang Huangyan: "What's the matter?"
Zhang Huangyan came closer and whispered: "The ambushing army outside the Anding Gate just now picked up an arrow book shot by the painstaking man. There was a mutiny in Beijing two days ago."
"Where is the Arrow Book?" Chongzhen asked with a slightly changed expression.
Zhang Huangyan immediately handed a letter to Chongzhen.
Chongzhen read the letter by firelight and sighed secretly.
It was a pity that the North Korean army launched a night attack that night, so the movement of Prince Jiannu Rui's palace was covered up. Otherwise, the Ming army took this opportunity to launch a surprise attack and might be able to defeat the attack in one fell swoop.
After all, the Jiannu slaves were in rebellion at the time and there was no high-level command.
At that time, if the Ming army launched a general offensive, they might be able to break into the city in one go.
However, it is not without good news. Although Duduo and the others failed in their mutiny, and although Dorgon escaped, it also proved that the Ming army's long-term siege of Beijing was effective.
Under difficult circumstances, Jiannu could mutiny once, but it could happen twice.
Moreover, due to this mistake, Meng Xueli unexpectedly won the absolute trust of Hou Fangyu and Dorgon. Dorgon even asked Meng Xueli to lead the Juzi Camp to monitor the Forbidden City.
There is a lot of room for maneuver here.
Because the lives of Fulin and Bumbutai were in Meng Xueli's hands.
After pondering for a moment, Chongzhen asked again: "Can I get in touch with the painstaking person now?"
"It's impossible now." Zhang Huangyan shook his head and said, "Every city gate is guarded by the Eight Banners Manchuria for twelve hours. Not only our people can't get in, but even letters can't be sent in."
"Then it can only hint at the painstaking efforts." Chongzhen said.
"Let him think of a way to stir up civil strife among the slaves as soon as possible."
"How to hint?" Zhang Huang said, "It's difficult to handle."
Chongzhen pondered again for a moment and asked: "Isn't Wu Yingqi, the eldest son of Wu Sangui, still imprisoned in Dagukou? This little brat is quite stubborn. He has been unable to get food and salt for us for so long, so let him give it to us.
Dorgon sent a letter and used Wu Yingqi and this letter as a hint to the hard-working person, he should be able to guess it."
"I understand." Zhang Huangyan suddenly realized.
…
That night, Zhang Huangyan sent flying cavalry to fetch Wu Yingqi from Dagokou.
Wu Yingqi thought that the Ming army would use it to sacrifice the flag, so he clamored for wine.
As a result, Ming Jun only stuffed a letter into his arms, and then untied the hemp ropes on his legs and ankles, but not the hemp ropes on his arms.
"Wu Yingqi, this is the letter I wrote to Jiannu."
Chongzhen said: "If you can help me, please present it to Dorgon."
"Sending a letter?" Wu Yingqi couldn't believe that such a good thing could happen.
Chongzhen didn't say anything more and directly asked Wu Yingqi to be taken outside Chaoyang Gate.
Then he planted a white flag on Wu Yingqi's back and pushed him out of the blockade trench.
Wu Yingqi tried to take a few steps towards the gap in the Chaoyangmen city wall, but found that the Ming army did not actually fire, so he immediately accelerated and ran towards the gap.
"Who is that person? Stop quickly!"
Lian Yong in the gap roared loudly.
Because he was the only one who came, and his hands were tied, the Eight Banners soldiers and Lian Yong guarding the walls on both sides of the gap did not release their arrows, but just raised their bows and waited.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Don't shoot, I am Wu Yingqi."
Wu Yingqi quickly shouted: "Nephew of Pingxi King Wu Sangui."
Wu Yingqi is actually Wu Sangui's legitimate son, but he was adopted to his eldest brother Wu Sanfeng when he was young.
Hearing that he was the nephew of Wu Sangui, King of Pingxi, the Eight Banners soldiers and Lian Yong on the city wall allowed Wu Yingqi to pass through the gap, and he was quickly taken to the Dongnuang Pavilion of Prince Rui's Mansion by the Eight Banners soldiers.
"Is there a letter written by Chongzhen to me?"
"Return to the master, the letter is in the slave's arms."
Cao Eryu immediately stepped forward and took out the letter from Wu Yingqi's arms.
After making sure that there were no hidden poisonous needles or anything like that, and checking that the paint was still intact, Cao Eryu took a dagger and scratched the paint, took out the letter and handed it to Dorgon with both hands.
Dorgon just glanced at it and immediately frowned.
"Wu Yingqi, is this the letter Chongzhen asked you to give to me?"
Dorgon said and put the letter up, but it was a piece of white paper.
"Ah?" Wu Yingqi was stunned immediately. What is going on?
Dorgon saw that Wu Yingqi didn't seem to be faking, so he motioned for him to go back first.
After sending Wu Yingqi away, Dorgon turned to Hou Fangyu and asked: "Little Houzi, what do you think?"
"This is just a clumsy counterintuitive plan." Hou Fangyu said suddenly, "Chongzhen wanted to use his master's hand to kill Wu Yingqi, so that he could force Wu Sangui to rebel."
"Chongzhen wants to imitate Cao Cao, haha."
Dorgon smiled and said: "It's a pity that I am not the reckless Ma Mengqi."
However, Hou Fangyu advised Dorgon to be more vigilant: "Master, after seeing how many times Chongzhen has used schemes, he is quite clever, so behind this clumsy counter-insurgency plan, there may be another conspiracy hidden, which we must guard against."
"Well, that makes sense." Dorgon nodded and said, "I will definitely be more vigilant during this period."
Chongzhen's follow-up measures came as soon as possible. Early the next morning, the Ming troops outside Chaoyang Gate began to shout in unison: Dorgon, be careful of your dog head!
…
Thousands of Ming troops shouted in unison, and the huge sound penetrated through the gap and reached outside Donghua Gate.
Meng Shouli happened to be inspecting Donghua Gate and immediately asked Feng Guofan, who was on duty: "Brother Feng, what is the Ming dog shouting?"
Feng Guofan listened carefully for a while and then said: "It seems to be shouting, tell the emperor father and the regent to watch his head? That's right, it means to tell the emperor father and the regent to watch his head."
"What does Ming Gou want to do?" a judge next to him said suddenly, "to threaten the regent?"
"What's the use? It's all in vain." Feng Guofan shook his head and said, "How could the emperor and the regent be disturbed by a few barks of Ming dogs?"
Feng Guo's words were unintentional, but Meng Shouli's heart moved slightly after hearing them.
Yes, how could Dorgon be disturbed by being scolded by the Ming army?
But why did the Ming army do this? What was their intention?
Could it be... Thinking of this, Meng Shouli's expression suddenly changed slightly.
"Brother Meng, what's wrong with you?" Feng Guofan asked, "You look so ugly?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I didn't sleep well last night." Meng Shouli said a few words to explain away.
After leaving Donghua Gate, Meng Shouli was struggling in his heart. Yesterday, the Ming army released Wu Sangui's nephew Wu Yingqi, and today they told Dorgon to be careful. It seemed like they were carrying out counter-intuitive schemes, but in fact they were probably hinting to him, asking him to come back as soon as possible.
Find a way to get rid of Dorgon and create chaos.
But how easy is it to get rid of Dorgon?
The only people he can use now are Yao Qisheng and a few others, so what can he use to kill Dorgon?
Waiting for Dorgon to enter the palace to assassinate him? Maybe he can't even beat a white armor next to Dorgon, and shoot him with a flintlock? There are Hou Fangyu's lackeys around him, and they will be reported as soon as they reload their ammunition.
What makes him most embarrassed is that once he takes action, he will not survive regardless of success or failure.
To be honest, Meng Xueli really didn't have the courage. If it weren't for his greed for life and fear of death, he wouldn't have agreed to be a traitor to Chongzhen in the first place, so he had to think of a foolproof strategy to stay out of the matter, otherwise he would rather not take action.
