Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

So not long after the interrogation, Zhou Yanru also revealed all the people who had written to impeach Zhao Wen with him.

Not only that, but in the end, Zhou Yanru began to slander at will in order to avoid suffering from flesh and blood, and named a large number of people.

Cao Huachun was naturally happy to hear this. He took the list obtained from the torture and released all Dongchang and Jinyiwei. According to the list, he directly locked them up.

Countless Donglin party members were directly locked out of their homes by Cao Huachun and imprisoned in imperial prisons.

Almost every day in the capital, people were beheaded and their homes were ransacked.

All of a sudden, the entire capital city became turbulent, and countless Donglin party members trembled under the turmoil.

Chapter 235: Chapter 235

Zhao Wen didn't stay in Gyeonggi for a long time, and after drawing all the Yulin albums in the land of no man, he brought Zhao Daniu and the others back to Xuan Town.

When Zhao Wen returned to Xuanzhen, Sun Yuanhua led the craftsmen who had already manufactured the test product of Voyager's steam engine.

Although it was manufactured, there are still many problems in it.

The main reason is that there is no rubber, so the lacquer-stained linen sheets can only be stacked layer by layer.

But in this way, the airtightness of the steam engine cannot be guaranteed.

In addition, the piston of the steam engine is still not fine enough to meet Zhao Wen's requirements.

Originally, the pistons in the steam engine had to at least reach the level of a mirror surface, but due to various restrictions, there were many gaps between the pistons and the cylinders.

In this way, the efficiency is much lower.But this is much better than the steam engine that Zhao Wen made before.

After Zhao Wen made some comments on the Voyager steam engine made by Sun Yuanhua, he took Zhao Daniu directly to Dushikou.

At this time, Song Hu had led the team to stay near Dushikou for a long time. During these days, he kept sending spies dressed as ordinary people to sneak into the fortress where Shimaying was located to investigate the enemy's situation.

Song Hu has completely grasped the movements of the entire Shima Camp now.

When he saw that Zhao Wen had arrived, he became energetic instantly.

Zhao Wen came to Song Hu's big tent and sat directly on the head seat, "Is there any change in Shima Camp?"

"Returning to my lord, everything in the Shima camp is normal, but the number of officers who came to the Shima camp a few days ago has increased a lot. Just this morning, several other officers from the guard station led a few personal guards. Entered the Shima Yingbao. According to the estimation of the general, they should be preparing to make trouble in the next few days."

Song Hu looked at Zhao Wen, and told all the enemy's situation that he had found out in the past few days.

Zhao Wen said in a deep voice: "Hehe, since that's the case, then don't blame me for being cruel. After a quarter of an hour, directly launch an attack on the Dushikou Stone Horse Camp. You must catch Wang Hai, a bastard, for me. As for the other guards All the officers, if they surrender, they will be caught alive, if they don’t surrender, they will be cleaned up directly. Remember, the battle is quick, don’t delay.”

Zhao Wen slapped the table, stood up immediately, and then took the binoculars and headed out of the big tent.

The place where Song Hu was stationed was a low-lying place, and there were many small forests in the place.

This place is about three or four miles away from Dushikou Shimaying.

Although there are only bare tree trunks left in these groves, it is more than enough to hide more than 1000 people.

Following Zhao Wen's order, Song Hu also quickly passed on the order.

All of a sudden, more than 1000 people jumped out of the grove and began to gather in the open space in front of the grove.

At the same time, five 120mm mortars were also pushed out by the artillery, and began to aim at Shimaying Fort not far away.

A quarter of an hour later, more than 1000 people had assembled.

Zhao Wen stood directly in front of the clearing, looked at the assembled soldiers, and said in a deep voice: "Now, pass on my order, and everyone will attack and directly attack Dushikou Shima Camp. Remember, the soldiers and civilians in the fort are not allowed to attack." Injury, if there is harm to the people, it will be dealt with by military law.

What's more, you must capture Wang Hai alive. As for the other officers, if they surrender, they will be spared. If they resist stubbornly, they will be killed on the spot. Can you do it? "

"Can you do it!"

For a time, more than 1000 people screamed loudly.

"kill!"

Zhao Wen drew out the waist knife at his waist, pointed in the direction of Dushikou Shimayingbao, and roared angrily.

"kill!!!"

For a moment, these more than 1000 people rushed directly to the Shimaying Fort ahead.

To deal with someone like Wang Hai, Zhao Wen didn't even bother to think about any tactics.

Let the infantry charge first, and then let the artillery bombard the walls of Shimayingbao during the infantry charge.

It is estimated that after a few rounds of bombing, the city wall of Shimaying will be blown down.At this time, the infantry almost rushed under the city wall.

At this time, the infantry would enter the Shimaying Fort without any effort.

"The artillery is ready, the high-explosive shells are loaded, and the city wall of Shimayingbao in front of the target. After ten breaths, a round of salvos will be fired."

Zhao Wen walked to a small hillside and looked towards Shima Yingbao with a binoculars.

At the same time, Wang Hai was sitting in the hall of the general's mansion in Shima Yingbao. He looked at the people sitting in the hall, frowned and said: "According to reliable news, Zhao Wen has returned from the capital. what to do?"

"General Wang Shen, what do you think we should do? I think we might as well launch a rebellion, go directly to Xuanzhen, and kill Zhao Wen!"

A burly man with a thick beard stood up, he slashed down with his right hand, and said coldly.

This person is the garrison of Zhenning Castle, called Wangu Lin, and he has the best relationship with Wang Hai on weekdays.

Wang Hai looked at Wangu Lin and couldn't help shaking his head, "Relying on the strength of the few of us, I'm afraid we won't be the opponent of Zhao Wen.

This guy was able to defeat Jiannu in the capital city, and the strength in his hands would definitely not be inferior to Jiannu.If we confront Zhao Wen head-on, I'm afraid we will be the ones who will die then. "

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, so tell me, what should we do?" The commander of Wan Quan Youwei stood up and looked at Wang Hai with a depressed expression.

Wanquan Left Guard and Wanquan Right Guard are more than 120 miles away from Xuanzhen Town. They were originally one of the two most important forces defending Xuanzhen Town.

But when Zhao Wen was promoted to be the commander-in-chief of Xuanzhen, the two guards began to become marginalized.

If Zhao Wen hadn't had urgent matters to deal with at that time, when cleaning up the three guards in Xuanzhen in Xuanzhen, he would have cleaned them up together.

Not only the three guards of Xuanzhen were abolished directly by Zhao Wen, but also Wanquandusi was abolished by Zhao Wen.

The Wanquandu Division is equivalent to an administrative organization at the provincial level, except that there are no administrative officials, but a method of military management.

When the Wanquandu Division was first established, it was to contain the general army of Xuanzhen.

But for so many years, the status of Wanquandu has been declining.

Although the status has been declining, it can more or less restrain the power of Xuanzhen's commander-in-chief.

Originally, eleven guards including Wanquan's left and right guards, Xuanzhen's three guards, and nearly ten thousands of households were all under the jurisdiction of Wanquan.

Although after Wanli, the status of the Wanquan Dusi was gradually surpassed by the Xuanzhen Soldier, at least the Wanquan Dusi still existed.

To some extent, it can still have some functions of restraining the general army of Xuanzhen.

But who would have thought that Zhao Wen just took office, and did not even say hello, and directly abolished the Wanquan Dusi.

They didn't even report to the Ministry of War, so they were abolished directly.

Not to mention the abolishment of the Xuanzhen Sanwei and the Wanquandu Division, the homes of a large number of officers were also confiscated.

Seeing this scene, the guard officers from all over Xuanzhen were frightened to death, for fear that Zhao Wen would attack them.

They also knew that even if they joined forces, they would not be Zhao Wen's opponent. This is the master who can defeat Jiannu in a field battle outside the city. Can they not beat them?

"I think it's not like this, why don't we trick Zhao Wen here, have a grand feast, and then plan to poison him to death?" Wang Hai looked at the crowd and said with a sinister face.

"How can you trick Zhao Wen here? Why does Zhao Wen listen to you?" The commander of Wanquan Right Guard looked at Wang Hai and asked in a deep voice.

"Hehe, I'm sure. This Zhao Wen was one of my soldiers before he made his fortune. I offended him quite a bit at that time. At that time, I will coax him over by using the excuse of apologizing to him, and then put him in his drink Poison him, kill him." Wang Hai saw this kind of person with a cold smile on his face.

"Even if you use this reason, can Zhao Wen come?"

"Why won't you come? When we call Zhao Wen, tell him that I will not only apologize to him, but also hand over my position and all the property I have accumulated over the years. You guys Say, can this Zhao Wen come?" Wang Hai's face flashed with a strange light.

"General Wang Shen's method is good. In my opinion, this method can definitely lure Zhao Wen here. As long as he gets here, he will be out of control at that time."

Everyone sitting in the hall looked at Wang Hai and laughed sinisterly.

But at this moment, the high-explosive bomb fired by the Type 55 120mm mortar fell on the wall of Shimaying Fort, and the huge explosion sound was directly transmitted to the general's mansion.

Wang Hai stood up in horror, "What's going on? What's going on here?"

Wang Hai stood up directly from the chair and looked out the door in panic.

A moment later, a soldier covered in blood stumbled in from the outside, "My lord, it's too bad, the soldiers and horses from Xuanzhen are coming."

The soldier looked at Wang Hai in panic, with blood oozing from his face.

Wang Hai directly grabbed the soldier's collar, his eyes widened, and he roared incredulously: "What's going on? Why did the soldiers and horses from Xuanzhen suddenly appear here? Why? What are you doing? What to eat? Why did you only find out when everyone called to the door of the house?"

At this time, Wang Hai felt unbelievable except for panic. Didn't Zhao Wen just come back from the capital?Why did you come here so quickly?And it didn't happen that Zhao Wen mobilized Xuanzhen's troops?

Could it be that Zhao Wen's soldiers were all heavenly soldiers and generals?Can you move here instantly?

"My lord, what should we do now?" The soldier looked at Wang Hai in panic.

"What should I do? Hurry up to meet the enemy, what else can I do? Pass my order to gather all the soldiers in the city and meet the enemy immediately." Wang Hai pulled out the waist knife from his waist, and rushed outside with a few personal guards .

The people in these halls also hastily drew out their weapons, and led the guards who followed them to the outside.

Zhao Wen stood on a small hillside, and he held up his binoculars to look at the city wall of Shima Yingbao.

"Carry out two more rounds of artillery coverage, and stop the shelling after coverage."

At this time, the charging infantry was almost approaching the city wall of Shima Camp.

After Zhao Wen's voice fell, Song Hu beside him passed the order down.

"Boom bang bang."

The Type 55 120mm mortar roared continuously, and high-explosive shells fell directly towards the city wall of Shimaying.

"Boom boom boom."

The explosion of the high-explosive bomb was like thunder in the sky, resounding throughout the earth.

The old city wall of Shimaying couldn't stop this level of bombing at all. It didn't take much effort for the city wall to be shattered by the high-explosive bombs.

When Wang Hai led the soldiers to rush out, the city wall of Shimaying had been bombed to the ground by high-explosive bombs.

At this time, the infantry had already rushed under the walls of Shimaying.

Zhao Wen looked at the infantry rushing in through the binoculars and shouted, "Stop the shelling, stop the shelling."

The Type 55 120mm mortar stopped its shelling, and the 56 and a half soldiers, pikemen, and sword and shield soldiers directly crossed the ruined city wall and rushed inside.

Those soldiers who jumped off the city wall during the shelling and hid not far from the city wall saw the fierce Xuanzhen soldiers rushing in, decisively threw away the weapons in their hands, and fled towards the rear.

These people also knew in their hearts that they wanted to fight against the soldiers of Xuanzhen just because they were three melons and two dates?It is simply impossible.

What's more, these soldiers are only the lowest-level frontier soldiers, and they are severely exploited by Wang Hai on weekdays. If they don't run for their lives at this time, is it possible that they still have to sacrifice their lives for Wang Hai?

Wang Hai led his elite servants and stood not far from the city wall. He watched the soldiers collapse like flowing water, his face was full of bitterness.

"Go up, let me go up, I will give you ten taels of silver for those who go up." Wang Hai waved the waist knife in his hand, and led his servants to stop these rout soldiers.

But these rout soldiers didn't care about them at all, "I'll fuck you, you land scraper, people like you should be killed by the chief soldier.

After Mr. Zongbing came to Xuan Town, he directly took back the land occupied by the military households, and also reduced taxes.

You bastard, have you ever treated us as human beings since you became the general?I'm afraid we're just a bunch of slaves in your eyes. "

These rout soldiers who fled back not only did not go to meet the enemy, but even pointed at Wang Hai and cursed.

"Brothers, Lord Chief Soldier's army is under the city now, and when the army rushes in later, what if we are killed as a rebel army?

So, in my opinion, we might as well just tie up Wang Hai, a bastard, and go ask the Chief Soldier for credit.

At that time, Lord Chief Soldier will definitely reward us generously.

Brothers, tie up that bastard Wang Hai and those bastards in the city who are ready to rebel, come on, brothers. "

A tattered, dark-skinned man pointed at Wang Hai, his eyes sparkled with excitement, and he raised his arms.

The soldiers following him all turned their attention to Wang Hai.

"Brothers, kidnap Wang Hai and ask for credit from the Chief Soldier!"

All of a sudden, these bottom-level frontier soldiers rushed towards Wang Hai one after another.

Wang Hai took the waist knife and retreated backward under the protection of the guard.
