During this time, Qian Yuan fully demonstrated the organizational skills he had trained more than ten years before, as long as the people in the city could still move their hands and feet, almost all of them were mobilized, even women and children who couldn't do anything could at least boil water.

Among them, Qian Yuan did some private work, and nearly 100 men and women from more than 50 families were gathered to dig a ditch that was not deep, but very wide, and then Qian Yuan put it in a private kiln to burn the fire.

Standing not far from the West City Gate, Qian Yuan looked back at the East City Gate, and most of the troops were arranged on that side.

To tell the truth, Lu Bin's choice can't be wrong, the east city gate is indeed the most dangerous, and it is also the most likely breakthrough for the Japanese invaders, there is an open field near the city gate, once the Japanese invade the city, they can quickly deploy their troops.

Qian Yuan sighed, if he was not wrong, he would be safe to survive tonight, but the question was whether he could survive tonight.

"Pour it in, spread it out, spread it out!" Yang Wen was loudly commanding the hundreds of people who were called, "The bottom should be covered with clothes, not directly at the bottom of the ditch." ”

"Over there, the planks on the ditch are ready!"

"Where's the oil? Oil...... Pour, don't fall into the ditch, just pour on the edge of the ditch, yes, yes, yes! ”

Tang Shunzhi looked at this scene ignorantly, endured it and endured it or didn't hold back, and asked in a low voice: "What is this doing?" ”

Qian Yuan, who was calculating in his heart, didn't hear the question, and was still estimating whether his arrangement could play a role, although reason told him that there should be no problem, and he should believe in science, but he still couldn't help beating the drum in his heart.

Gritting his teeth, Qian Yuan beckoned Yang Wen, took out the map he made, and drew a circle with his hand, "It's all demolished." ”

"It's all demolished?"

"Well, you take someone to do it and tell them to go to Xiangfu to get the money the next day." Qian Yuan did not dare to guarantee that his plan would be successful, and he had to do some possible remedial measures.

After thinking in his heart again and again, inspecting the neighborhood again and again, and even doing a small-scale exercise, Qian Yuan calmed down.

Tang Shunyi sat on the steps outside a mansion and pointed to his side, "Sit down." ”

"Jing Chuan Gong has worked hard." Qian Yuan smiled and sat down, "Your luck is really bad this time, but you also helped a lot." ”

It did help a lot, originally Qian Yuan was washing the city to blackmail the big families in the city to send out the silver labor army, with Tang Shunzhi, those guys immediately bowed their heads, and a few even handed over the keys to the silver vault.

In fact, Tang Shunzhi is a guy who can't talk very well, and he has a surprisingly little to Qian Yuan, a junior who doesn't like him, but at such a tense moment, he talks about sex.

"Actually, I've heard of you in Nanjing, Tan Zili jumping to his feet and scolding his mother has become a joke in the city." Tang Shunzhi squinted his eyes and glanced at Qian Yuan, who was smiling dryly, "Originally, I only thought you were scheming, but I didn't expect that you have the ability to govern." ”

"Jing Chuan has won the award."

"I never go beyond praise." Tang Shunzhi's tone changed, "Zhenchuan Gong praises you for your integrity......"

"I don't have the temperament." Qian Yuan simply interrupted, glanced at the old man who kept beating in the corners of his eyes, and then said: "As early as last year, I was going to move my family to Hangzhou and even Huizhou and Nanjing, and I was going to leave after this trip to Jiaxing. ”

is different from Sun Chengen, who Qian Yuan faintly despises in Jiading City, he has a respect for Tang Shunzhi, this old man ...... Well, in fact, Tang Shunzhi is only in his thirties, but he looks a little older.

Not to mention that he suppressed the big households in the city, Tang Shunzhi personally went into battle, armed with guns and swords, fought bloodily in the city several times, and was injured in three places, which was enough to win Qian Yuan's respect.

"Tonight is the last chance for the Wako, and it is also the most dangerous night in Chongde County, can you live to see the sun tomorrow morning...... No one knows. Qian Yuan grinned, "So, I don't want to lie." ”

Tang Shunzhi smiled, he could feel the other party's openness.

"I don't want to be so tired, I want to live well, take a wife and two concubines, and then walk around and have a look...... Write a travelogue for posterity. ”

Tang Shunzhi looked at Qian Yuan with pity, as a senior in the field who refused to enter the Hanlin Academy after high school and entered the sixth department, he knew very well that this young man's political management methods were superb.

"I don't have the obsession to make contributions to the government, and I don't have the idea of serving the court......"

Qian Yuan's gaze gradually became firm from loose, "But this world doesn't let me live well......

"What can I do......

Tang Shunzhi vaguely remembered that he heard Lu Shude mention two days ago that Qian Yuan's father and brother died, and there were only his mother, sister-in-law and younger sister at home.

"After this war, move your family to Hangzhou or Nanjing." Tang Shunzhi comforted softly: "Now that the party in the DPRK and China is fiercely fighting, it is better not to join the government for the time being." ”

"The party is fierce?" Qian Yuan said casually: "Jing Chuan Gong refers to strict division? ”

"As the first assistant, I am only flattering."

Tang Shunzhi succinctly pointed out Shilin's greatest anger towards Yan Song, and it was the most hateful thing to occupy the pit and not.

"Not necessarily, in the Gengxu Rebellion, it is strictly forbidden for the defenders to go out of the city to pursue, is it wrong?" Qian Yuan sneered: "Once the army is defeated and the Jingshi falls, will Zhao Dazhou jump out and take responsibility?" ”

Tang Shunzhi was speechless when he ascended, and Zhao Dazhou was Zhao Zhenji, who insisted on going out of the city to pursue me during the Gengxu Rebellion.

"It's not necessarily a good thing to be brave enough to do something." Qian Yuan said with a smile: "Peng Dian and Tu Dashan's successive defeats are proof of this. ”

Tang Shunzhi still has nothing to say, he is very clear about the distribution of forces in the DPRK and China, and now Yan Song can't say that he can't cover the sky with one hand, at least in the southeast to resist the Japanese, Jiajing trusts more than the cabinet deputy Xu Jie, Peng Dian and Tu Dashan are both in the same year as Xu Jie, and they have to be recommended by him to get to the top.

At this time, Zhang San, who was guarding the side, jumped up suddenly, stared at the far east city gate and whispered: "The Japanese are really here!" ”

Glancing at the suddenly lit torches on the head of the city, Qian Yuan turned his head and asked with a smile: "Jingchuan Gong, it is said that you are on a par with Yan Donglou?" ”

"Not bad." Tang Shunzhi snorted, "It's all the same as being ingenious, using money to control people, liking the left side of the door, and being used to taking the sword sideways." ”

"Being able to compare with the elder of the small pavilion, Jing Chuan Gong is really too high for the juniors." Qian Yuan secretly thought in his heart, every time there is a big event, there is calm.

Tang Shunzhi was speechless, do you think I'm praising you?

After a moment of silence, Qian Yuan suddenly said, "After this battle, I will find an opportunity to send my family to Hangzhou or Huizhou, and then ...... I will stay. ”

Tang Shunzhi's eyes were full of surprise, "You're not leaving?" ”

"Don't go." Qian Yuan raised his foot and stomped it, "It's too cold in the north, too humid in the south, too chaotic in the west, from the southeast coast to the vicinity of Nanjing, the chaos will continue, where to go?" ”

Tang Shunzhi reached out and patted Qian Yuan's shoulder hard, this is a hard-mouthed little guy.

The sound of the fight, which could be faintly heard, became louder and louder, Qian Yuan got up, habitually patted the dust on his buttocks, and took a deep breath.

"It's our turn."
