At night, the city of Suzhou was pitch black and the people were panicked. Before the sky was dark, the door was closed. The city was silent. Only in the government office and prisons, inhuman screams came from time to time.

The autumn rain was falling. At the water gate, the Qing soldiers who were on duty stood still in their straw raincoats. In the city gate building, the dim oil lamps flashed, and black shadows were printed on the window paper, gathering together, and laughter and scolding came from time to time.

In the north of Suzhou City, a fleet of ships slowly drove over on the waterway outside the Shuimen.

Zhao Ming and Hu Weizong stood at the bow of the boat wearing straw raincoats and hats. The heroes in the cabin, their bodies were close to the bulkheads, held weapons in their hands, raised their heads one by one, staring at the deck above their heads, as if they could see through the wooden boards.

"Who?" On the water gate, the Qing army, who was on duty, found the moving fleet and suddenly shouted.

The Qing soldiers who were gambling in the city gate tower heard the movement and immediately rushed out with weapons.

The fleet arrived at the bottom of the city. Zhao Ming pressed the hilt of the knife and replied loudly: "Our people, we are the ones who transported food! It's raining too much. Brothers, please open the city gate and let us enter the city!"

A man in the city frowned and saw the big ship below through the fire. "Do you have a certificate?"

Zhao Ming shouted: "Of course there is! The food is almost wet, so open the door quickly!"

After saying that, Zhao Ming waved his hand, the soldiers handed a document, drooped the spider plant from the top of the city wall, pulled the things up, took them over, retreated to the downstairs and opened the tarpaulin and looked at it.

There is no problem with the document. It was created by Li Yuanyin, and it is real.

The Qing army collected grain everywhere and stationed in Suzhou, preparing to supply Duoduo's army. Zhao Ming's procedures were formal and he always did not doubt it, but he did not have the right to open a city, so he hurriedly said to someone: "Go and notify the general!"

Zhao Ming said he wanted to transport grain into the city. The Qing soldiers guarding the Water Gate were unsure of their minds. The leader quickly ordered one person to report, and then shouted to the city: "Brothers, wait!"

Zhao Ming replied loudly: "It's okay!" But he was very nervous, and the soldiers in the cabin were even more arrogant and dared not come out.

This adventure, the army went deeper alone, and it might become the treasure of the Qing army.

At this time, a Qing soldier hurriedly left and trotted to report. On the street where others were walking, a black shadow suddenly flashed out of the alley and dragged the soldiers into the dark place.

Soon, a team of Qing troops wearing straw raincoats and hats drove over.

The leader always saw the people coming here, and was slightly stunned. He asked from a distance: "Which part is from?"

"It's me, Li Yuanyin!" Li Yuanyin, wearing armor, walked over with a calm face, pressed the knife.

The soldiers stationed at the Water Gate were the soldiers of Li's army. When the general saw Li Yuanyin coming, he was puzzled. Didn't the general relieve his military power and let him think about his mistakes behind closed doors? But he hurried down the city tower and came to greet him.

"Major General, this is!" The general hurriedly clasped his fists and smiled.

Li Yuanyin waved his hand and said, "I heard that the food has arrived, so let me come and take a look!" As he said that, he glanced out of the water gate and said to the general manager: "Open the door!"

The president nodded and bowed, and was about to give an order, he suddenly asked again: "Major General can bring a warrant!"

"Bold, do I still need a warrant?" Li Yuanyin was furious and slapped the boss and stumbled.

"How can the Major General hit people!" The general covered his face with disbelief.

"I'm going to kill you, I'll kill you. The food is wet. Can you afford it?" Li Yuanyin waved his hand, and more than a dozen soldiers came up, holding spears and pushing the general to the corner of the wall.

The Qing army from the Water Gate was confused. What about his major general?

I know that it’s wrong, but I dare not say anything.

Li Yuanyin then waved his hand and said, "Open the door!"

Keeping the general subordinates still, Li Yuanyin's subordinates rushed forward and turned the winch. The water gate was immediately pulled up, and then quickly took over the water gate defense.

The mast of the ship had already been put down. The boatman supported the bamboo pole and rowed the ship into the water gate and leaned against the dock in the city. Hu Weizong on the ship ordered: "Go ashore."

The cargo ship slowly sailed and entered the city. The cabin door opened. Five hundred heroes came out in a row and quickly lined up. Zhao Ming walked over and shook hands eagerly with Li Yuanyin, then looked around at the tough faces under the hats, without saying anything more: "Brothers, let's do it tonight!"

Li Yuanyin said: "There are many Qing soldiers in the city. If you capture the thief, you will first capture the king. Otherwise, if the Qing soldiers in the city are mobilized, things will inevitably fail!"

Zhao Ming said: "Brother Hu will follow you to attack the prefecture government office and capture Nikan. I will go and persuade General Li!"

...

Five hundred heroes, plus more than one hundred subordinates of Li Yuanyin, had a total of six hundred people, and they were divided into two groups and drove into the city.

The heroes dressed in the soldiers of the Li army lined up and walked on the street. On the road, they met a yamen runner who was patrolling the jail. They hid far away and did not dare to ask about it.

"Where will General Li's men go?" an old yamen runner murmured to himself.

A person next to him said: "There has been a big fuss in Taihu Lake recently, and the number of people and horses has been mobilized frequently. I am afraid that the troops in the middle of the night will be attacked somewhere again."

"It's not right. It's tight outside the city, how can you go inside!" another person said.

The old yamen runner suddenly changed his face, "No, go home quickly!"

~~~~~~~

It was raining in the sky, the streets were silent, there was no one on the streets, and there was no trace of the Qing army patrol. Someone came forward to ask, but the neck was slapped with a knife.

Suzhou is a big city, with thousands of Qing army and Qing Berenican. No one expected that the rebels would dare to enter Suzhou City after taking advantage of the courage of the bear heart and leopard.

Although the rebel army entered the city, the situation was not optimistic. Li Yuanyin and Hu Weizong led more than 400 people to the prefecture government office, while Zhao Ming led nearly 200 people to deal with the troops in the city and force Li Chengdong to do so anyway.

Li Chengdong has been in trouble recently. First, Beizitunqi was killed under his nose. Boluo asked him to make meritorious service and encircled Taihu rebels, but he was ambushed with the navy and lost hundreds of elite soldiers.

The continuous failures made Nikan very dissatisfied with Li Chengdong, from the general to the general, but this was not over yet. It probably won't take long to continue to move.

~~~~~~~

Outside Li Chengdong's mansion, the soldiers guarding the gate forced themselves to stand up straight.

At this time, the autumn rain gradually stopped, and a team of Qing soldiers came to the front of the mansion. A general wearing armor and phoenix-winged helmet walked up with a sword, which was very majestic!

"Hello!" An officer suddenly shouted loudly behind the general.

Before the soldiers in front of the door understood, they subconsciously saluted one knee. The general raised his right hand, waved his hand, and then walked straight into the door.

The soldiers at the door were puzzled, and just came to their senses, they reached out and scolded, "You can't break in~"

Before he finished speaking, a sharp knife passed through his chest. Wang Deshun waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him dragged the bodies of the Qing army aside, then stood with a spear and took over the Qing army's post.
