That night, Obai didn't sleep, Dorgon didn't sleep, and no one else slept either.
Chang Yu.
It's not like he's not sleepy, nor is he worried about insomnia. This guy has always been very upset and his expression remains calm. He has a stable mentality. Except for the occasional insomnia when he's pretentious, he usually falls asleep.
.
I didn't sleep that night, but it was so painful that I couldn't sleep.
Huang Gongquan, who is known as the sword in the underworld, fought hard with his sword. Few people in the world could stop it. Chang Yu relied on the power of the sword to barely block it, but he suffered internal injuries. An ordinary person would not be able to get up if he did not stay in bed for several months.
But he was different. He was born with a special talent and could heal himself quickly, but even so, it still caused him excruciating pain at night. In addition, Wu Zhong, who was also big-hearted, snored loudly, making it impossible for him to sleep.
Until dawn, when the pain gradually subsided and sleepiness set in, it was time to work again.
"Can the boss hold on? If not, let me go with Wuzhong." Wang Zhengnan was very worried. Chang Yu stood up and shook his limbs and still felt a little pain, but it was much better than yesterday when he could barely move. "It doesn't matter,"
Follow the plan”.
"It's extremely dangerous today to go into battle to kill the enemy, even worse than before. Don't hold on, because it will hold me back when the time comes." Wuzhong sat by the stove, drinking mutton soup and chewing on the big bones of the mutton: "I have to
Eat more, and you won’t be a starved ghost when you die.”
"Why the hell do you say these unfavorable words every time before you work?" Chang Yu cursed angrily, and Wuzhong snorted: "I'm a ruthless knife-head licker, and I don't taboo these things, but you still taboo them?"
"It's not taboo, it's just that I don't like to hear it." Chang Yu cursed and started eating and drinking. At this time, Shui Sheng climbed in from outside and said breathlessly: "The city gate is open."
"Is it daybreak?" Chang Yu asked, Shuisheng shook his head: "Not yet, it's not yet Maozheng (6am) and it's still dark. It will be dawn at Chenshi (7am)."
"Did you go to the city gate to see it?" Kuang Ren asked, Shuisheng nodded: "When I arrived in the west of the city, the door opened at just nine o'clock (five o'clock in the morning)."
"It's neither too early nor too late," Chang Yu said with a beep.
The closing time of ancient city gates varied greatly from place to place. Some places followed the sunrise and sunset times, but most places or big cities generally opened at Yinzheng time, that is, they opened at a little after four in the morning, and at Xuzheng time in the evening.
It closes at around eight o'clock.
As for important border towns like Jinzhou, the decision depends on the current situation, sometimes sooner and sometimes later. Under normal circumstances, as long as there is no war, the closure of the city will generally not affect people's lives.
"Have the arrangements been made by shopkeeper Qi?" Chang Yu looked at Kuang Ren.
Kuang Ren nodded.
"If we go in and don't come out for more than half an hour, you two will leave the city immediately." Chang Yu whispered, and Kuang Ren became anxious: "My boss..."
"This is an order" Chang Yu shouted and looked at Wang Zhengnan again.
Wang Zhengnan nodded vigorously.
When the sky was slightly bright, Chang Yu and Wuzhong climbed over the wall and left the grocery store. There was a strong snowstorm outside, and there were only a few people walking on the street. After they walked around to confirm that there were no tails, they walked towards the ghost market. On the way, they met
Several groups of Qing troops were patrolling and avoided.
When they arrived at the ghost market, it was already broad daylight. After staring at the intersection for a long time and seeing nothing strange, they walked towards Huo Sanshan's shop one after another: "Why are you here so late?" Huo Sanshan was a little unhappy, and then looked at Chang.
Yu glanced at him and said, "Who is this person? Where is Wang Er?"
"This is my great son," Wu Zhong patted Chang Yu on the shoulder and said casually, "Wang Er is busy with other things."
He had already put life and death aside in his heart, so it didn't matter if he joked about Chang Yu. If Wang Zhengnan or Kuang Ren were present, they would probably be scared to death if they heard his joke.
Damn it, you took advantage of me, I will kill you later, Chang Yu cursed in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.
"Call Huo Ye" Wu Zhong lightly kicked Chang Yu, and Chang Yu quickly called out Huo Ye.
"Father and son go into battle, well done." Huo Sanshan squeezed out a smile and patted Chang Yu's shoulder a few times. He had no doubt that the two were father and son. Although Wuzhong was only in his thirties, this guy
He is tall and looks to be in his forties. It is quite normal these days for a forty-year-old to have a son who is twenty years younger.
"Master Huo, everything has been arranged here. Let's get down to business." After the simple politeness, Wuzhong went straight to the topic. Huo Sanshan happened to be too lazy to give him any nonsense and took him to the backyard. Zhang Zhong had been waiting for a long time.
After waiting for a long time, there was a wheelbarrow, a load and two baskets, both of which were filled with various ingredients. Zhang Zhong gave each of them a waist badge: "Don't talk when you come in, don't look around, have your waist checked."
Don’t raise your head, just go inside.”
"Don't search me," Wuzhong asked casually. Zhang Zhong glanced at him and said, "Did you bring someone with you?"
"I have to defend myself!" Wu Zhong snorted, and Zhang Zhong nodded slightly: "You can defend yourself, but once you are discovered, you will die quickly."
"Even if you die, you can still have someone to support you."
"Ahem, it's just a matter of going in to meet someone. It's not like you're going to face mountains of swords or seas of fire. You'll die if you don't move." Huo Sanshan said with a smile beside him, but he was sneering in his heart. You really will bring yourself a life-threatening charm.
When you get there, you just need to shout that you have weapons on you, and you don't have to think of any other excuses, you will be cut into pieces immediately.
Wuzhong wanted to say something again, but Zhang Zhong urged him: "It's getting late, hurry up, there will be some trouble when you change shifts." So they asked Wuzhong to push the wheelbarrow, and Chang Yu carried the basket out of the yard and went straight to the head office.
In the direction of the back door of the military mansion.
On the way, Wuzhong and Zhang Zhong chatted wordlessly. Chang Yu didn't say anything the whole time, just lowered his head and hurried on, already knowing in his heart Zhang Zhong's method of leading them into the General Military Mansion.
The General Military Mansion is not just Dorgon alone, but many people. Of course, these people are all dignitaries of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, such as Duduo, Azige, Fan Wencheng and some internal ministers. In addition, there are also
There were some banner ministers of other factions who were held hostage by Dorgon. Dorgon wanted them to be under his nose, and even to go out or leave the city, they had to be strictly approved.
Some people may ask, can so many people live there?
That’s because you don’t know how big the military headquarters is!
The layout of the General Military Mansion is no different from that of ordinary yamen, with a front hall and a backyard, but it is much larger than ordinary yamen. I checked the information and found that the smaller ones are thousands of square meters, and the larger ones are like the Nan'ao General Military Mansion (Zheng Chenggong lived there).
Shanhaiguan General Military Mansion covers an area of more than 80 acres and has countless rooms in the courtyard. It can accommodate hundreds of people without any pressure.
But the daily consumption of food and drink for hundreds of people is also very large.
After all, they are not ordinary people who can solve their problems with a pot of porridge a day.
They are powerful people. They don't care about delicacies, but they also want to have fish and meat at every turn, which is quite abundant. In the basket picked by Chang Yu, there were several pickled game, leeks and so on.
Therefore, every day, the chef of the General Military Mansion would go out early in the morning to purchase ingredients. Large and small carts would pull and pick them in, and some familiar meat sellers, fishmongers, and vegetable sellers would deliver them outside the gate of the General Military Mansion.
And Zhang Zhong took advantage of this loophole, borrowed two high-profile cards, and asked Wu Zhong and Chang Yu to act as the back cook's purchasers to sneak in. This seemed a bit unreliable, but it was actually a loophole.
Because wherever there are people, there are people.
There are several gates in the General Military Mansion. In addition to the main gate, there are side gates, side gates, and back gates. According to Zhang Zhong, there are six in total.
Zhang Zhong took them through a small gate in the northwest, where the servants of the mansion entered and exited. There were fixed sentries ten steps to the left and right of the small gate, and there were one or two soldiers checking the sign at the door.
The small gate is in a small alley, and there are patrols of the Qing army wandering back and forth. Chang Yu is carrying the load without changing his expression, without squinting, and is walking numbly with Wuzhong. Wuzhong is struggling to push the wheelbarrow. Above it is a wheelbarrow.
The problem with the slaughtered pig was not due to the weight of the cart, but because he was not very good at pushing the thing and could not master the strength and balance.
"You two are still on duty. It's time to change your shift soon." When approaching the small gate, Zhang Zhong walked quickly to greet the two gatekeepers. They were two Manchus with rat tails. Although they were only on guard duty at the outer perimeter,
But the security personnel of the General Military Mansion were all Manchus, and Dorgon could not trust others.
"It's early, there's still an hour left," the Qing soldiers all muttered, speaking bluntly in Chinese, while another casually said: "You go and come back so quickly..." It was obvious that they were familiar with Zhang Zhong.
"Ahem, I just remembered something and had to come back." He took out a small pot from his sleeve and smiled mysteriously: "You two, guess what this is?"
The two Qing soldiers were startled, and then their eyes lit up: "This can't be... good guy, where did you get this?"
"Hehe, it's a long story..." Zhang Zhong glanced around mysteriously, and quickly stuffed the small pot into one person's hands: "It's hard-earned, so you two have to take it easy..."
Wine, it must be wine! Chang Yu saw it in his eyes, and his heart was gurgling. He turned his head slightly and looked at Wu Zhongzheng, who couldn't help but lick his lips. It seemed that this guy had guessed it too.
Over there, Zhang Zhong and the two surprised Qing soldiers were whispering. Wuzhong pushed the cart and Chang Yu came to the door carrying a load. Chang Yu slowly took out his badge and was about to hand it over when Wuzhong shouted.
Voice: "Son, help dad take out the badge and show it to the two gentlemen." He was pushing the wheelbarrow with both hands free.
Chang Yu yelled, took off the sign from Wuzhong's waist and walked towards the two Qing soldiers. Before they got there, one of them waved his hand impatiently, motioning for them to come in, without even glancing at them.
Just like that, the General Military Mansion, which was considered airtight and impenetrable by the outside world, just came in.
Chang Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. There is no wall in this world that is absolutely airtight, and there is no house that is watertight. As long as there are people, there is an opportunity. Of course, he also knows that it is the carelessness of these guards. After all, among ordinary people,
In their understanding, who would be so desperate to assassinate Dorgon? Ordinary people would stay away from the General Military Mansion, but there are really one or two short-sighted guys with bad brains who have this idea. Even if they go in
Will it be successful?
There are hundreds of Dorgon's soldiers protecting it, not to mention one or two, even one or two hundred, one or two thousand, you may not be able to get it! The most important thing is that you can't get in even if you enter the General Military Mansion.
The inner palace is guarded by personal soldiers, and everyone is scrutinized! Not to mention that the servants are not qualified to enter, they are not even allowed to get close.
