Chapter 113： Popular

On February 20th, Wu Changqing received a special guest in Daying.

The visitor was Xia Jinyan, the chief steward of the Tong family in Nanjing.

This time he came here, hoping that Wu Changqing could send troops to Nanjing earlier and save the innocent people in Nanjing.

"Since the defeat of the Qing army, they have committed 16 homicides in the city, killing more than 40 innocent people, including a business. As many as 30 women were insulted, and the people were miserable. Please send troops to Nanjing as soon as possible to rescue the people of Nanjing. My family leader has united several big households and is willing to cooperate and provide help when the generals attack the city."

Xia Jin said with tears in a stern voice, who didn't know how much he thought he loved the people.

But Wu Changqing knew that these businessmen were afraid that the Manchu soldiers would lose control, which would trigger the looting of the city.

Their family business is in Nanjing, and it is not easy to leave. That's why it is so eager for Wu Changqing to take control of Nanjing.

After all, Wu Jun’s reputation is much better than other armies, although there are not too many examples of loving the people like children.

However, in this era, soldiers are extremely good soldiers as long as they don't disturb the people. The people will welcome them very much. How can they expect soldiers to love the people like children?

Wu Changqing’s army has always strictly forbidden to disturb the people, and slowly the reputation has spread and won the hearts of the people.

People's hearts are sometimes useless, and sometimes they can play a key role.

Just like now, if you can work with the merchants in the city to open the city gates and take the city inside and outside together, you can save a lot of soldiers.

"How is the situation of the Qing army now?"

Wu Changqing asked.

"It's terrible. The military discipline is degraded, morale is low, and even the suicide of soldiers has occurred. Although Hong Chengchou tried to cover it up, we still found some news."

Xia Jing said strictly.

"Does Hong Chengchou and Boluo do not care?"

Wu Changqing was a little skeptical. Given the abilities of Hong Chengchou and Boluo, after so many days, it shouldn't have solved this problem yet.

"Prince Duanzhong fell ill after returning to Nanjing after the defeat. He just recovered in the last few days. Because of his status, Hong Chengchou didn't dare to be too tough when facing Manchu soldiers."

Xia Jinyan was obviously prepared, and he was relatively clear about the situation in the city.

Wu Changqing did not expect that the current situation of the Qing army would be so chaotic. However, this is a good thing for him. The more chaotic the Qing army, the greater his chance.

"Specifically talk about how to integrate inside and outside."

Originally, Wu Changqing was planning to take a longer rest period and wait for another batch of firearms to arrive from Suzhou.

But now that he learned that the Qing army was in poor condition, he also wanted to seize this opportunity to take Nanjing City. If it continues to be delayed until Hong Chengchou takes control of the situation, it will be even more difficult to attack the city.

Xia Jinyan didn't have any specific plans. He just said that when Wu Changqing led his troops to attack the city, they could try to attack the city gate and open the gap.

These wealthy businessmen will raise some guards and domestic slaves. These people are not comparable to professional soldiers, but they are still much better than ordinary people. Some of the guards who have practiced martial arts are more brave than professional soldiers.

It's just that Wu Changqing is not very relieved of these people. It is unrealistic to rely on a group of domestic slaves to break through the enemy's key defense gate.

"I will send another team of soldiers into the city to cooperate with you, do you have a way to get these soldiers into the city?"

In the end, Wu Changqing decided to select a hundred clever men from the army to mix in the city to cooperate with the actions of the wealthy businessmen.

Moreover, these people are equipped with grenades.

Relying on this big killer, the chance of success will be much greater.

However, how to get in is a hassle. But this can't be difficult for Xia Jingyan. They do business, what they are best at is colluding with officials and businessmen, and making friends with imps.

Some of them are able to give money to the kid guarding the city gate, so as to arrange the soldiers to enter the city.

As for the grenade, it is even easier. At present, Nanjing has not closed the city. Every day, merchants come in and out to do business and transport a lot of goods.

As long as you spend a little money, the goods will not be inspected.

These businessmen have more or less engaged in smuggling and are very knowledgeable about how to hide goods.

"This is naturally the best. As for mixing into the city, we have a way to do this. As long as the number is not particularly large, there is no problem."

Xia Jing said strictly.

To solve the problem of mixing into the city, some detailed plans must be made.

Once Wu Changqing's army comes down to the city, Nanjing City will definitely close its gates, and it will be difficult to contact at that time.

Wu Changqing can also exchange for a wireless telegraph now through his teeth, but no one will use it if it is exchanged, and it is too expensive and not worth it.

Therefore, Wu Changqing can only work out a detailed plan with Xia Jinyan in advance, and then act according to the plan.

If there is an accident in the plan, there is no way, and Tong Youwei and others can only admit that they are unfortunate.

Everything is risky. If they want to get Wu Changqing's favor, they must take this risk.

Once it succeeds, the benefits will be enormous. At least Wu Changqing has promised to give them the technology to make soap and soap, allowing them to also do these two lines of business.

These two businesses are now the hottest and most profitable businesses. Hearing that Wu Changqing was willing to take out these two businesses, Xia Jinyan was so excited that she couldn't speak.

He believes that as long as the news is sent back to the city, there will be more merchants willing to participate, and they will work harder.

After more than an hour of discussion, the preliminary plan was worked out. The next step is to find a way to help the selected soldiers enter the city. Only when this step is successful can we proceed to the next step.

If accidents were discovered when entering the city, there would be no other way but to admit failure and give up the plan.

After Xia Jingyan left, Wang Dafu reminded: "General, do we really have to trust him?"

Throughout the ages, soldiers have never tire of deceit, and no one knows whether what Xia Jinyan said is true or false.

"What are you afraid of? If they are lying to us, at most they will lose more than a hundred soldiers. If it is true, the benefits can save us two or three thousand deaths. Isn't it worth the bet?"

Wu Changqing said, of course it is impossible for him to be defenseless at all. For example, he didn't equip the soldiers with flintlock guns, because he was worried that the Qing army would get samples.

Although it is difficult to get a sample and want to imitate it, who knows if there will be one or two geniuses in the north?

As for other defenses, as long as the army is brought forward steadily, the enemy will not have very good ambush methods.

It is almost all plain terrain from Nanjing, and only a little hilly and hilly is close to Nanjing City.

In this area of ​​Jiangnan, the terrain is too simple, and no one wants to ambush anyone. The competition is all hard power.
