Chapter 69: Under the City
Ning Yu never expected that things would suddenly become so smooth.
Now he is standing in the governor's palace of Wuchang, but he was not tied up as a thief, but as a conqueror, he occupied this city.
Just after the end of the war, Ning Yu decisively led his troops to the city, and attacked Wuchang City under the response of the shadow, because there are only 500 people left in the city defense camp today, and it is impossible to defend such a large city well.
Gao Laibao and Xiande had already fled to Wuchang City, but before they could organize an effective defense, the city gate was breached. No matter how reluctant the governor Man Pi was, it was impossible for him to really stay in Wuchang City and live and die with the city, so the three of them sneaked away from the city before the Ning army had completely entered the city.
Xu Chengliang led people to occupy the governor's palace and all the official offices, among which there were some bloodsheds, and many of them were still the green battalion routs fishing in troubled waters in the city. Then Ning Yu issued an order, strictly prohibiting soldiers in the city to disturb the people, violators will not be forgiven, as soon as this order came out, the green camp was arrested and killed, the order in the city was greatly improved, many merchants and people secretly applauded.
After all, these people have had the experience of war, just forty years ago in the battle of the three feudatories, Hunan and Hubei were the main battlefields, the Qing army and the Wu army fought to the death, the people of Hunan and Hubei were miserable, whether it was the Wu army or the Qing army, they all liked to connive at plunder, and used the people's property to offset the military funds.
Therefore, after this battle, the reputation of the Ning army has been widely recognized by the people of Wuchang City, although it has not really stood on the side of the Ning family, but at least it is not so hostile, which is very valuable to the Ning family today.
After the capture of Wuchang, the Ning family began to gradually transfer the main forces to Wuchang City, which is also to prepare for the next step, it can be said that although the Ning family took the first step, the road ahead is still very far and long.
The original governor's palace has now become the council hall of the Ning family, not only the name has changed, but the layout inside has also changed greatly, some magnificent furnishings and calligraphy and paintings have been moved, and the maidservants have all paid the passage money to send him home.
Ning Zhongyuan sat on the main seat in the middle of the hall, and then Cui Wancai was ranked first on the right hand, followed by Ning Zhongjing and Ning Yu, and the rest of the Ning family brothers were also ranked in their original order, in this order, it more intuitively indicated Ning Yu's current status.
The reason why Ning Zhongjing can still appear here is entirely because of the credit of the shadow and several major families, when the entire city was in chaos, the Cheng family and the Zheng family used their relationship to cooperate with Ning Jun to take over the city, and more importantly, they also cooperated with the shadow to rescue Ning Zhongjing.
Ning Zhongyuan looked around, felt a little emotion in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "No one could have thought that I, Ning Zhongyuan, would be able to sit in this position one day." "Although I have a smile on my face, I can empathize with the pressure inside.
After this incident broke out, the most pressure was Ning Zhongyuan, the head of the Ning family, who was not only carrying his life alone, but also the lives of thousands or even tens of thousands of people, almost everyone in the entire Xiaogan County had some subtle connections with the Ning family.
Cui Wancai still looked energetic, and said with a smile: "Lord Qiqi, now that our army has captured Wuchang, it can be regarded as having a foundation for a foothold, and after this battle, if the Qing army wants to fight again, I am afraid that it will take a three-month buffer to say the least, and this is a good opportunity for our army to expand its strength!" ”
Everyone was originally a little excited in their hearts, but they were all characters who had experienced wind and rain, and they didn't show too much, just listened quietly.
Ning Zhongyuan hurriedly asked, "I don't know what Brother Tinghe has to say?" "Tinghe was originally Cui Wancai's number, so Ning Zhongyuan has always been known as the number.
If you want to leverage the overall situation of the whole world with the power of one place, the key is to take the momentum! The good opportunity to gain power is to win the hearts of the Han people in the whole world, and the lord can call himself the governor of the Han Dynasty, play the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, and expel the Tartars, so as to stir up the situation in the world. ”
"What's more important is that the Manchu relatives and nobles who dominate the world today are only a million people, and they can only rely on the green camp to stabilize the overall situation of the world.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces suddenly changed, and they all realized the key to this plan, this scholar is really unusual.
Ning Yu nodded in agreement, and said thoughtfully: "This Kangxi is not a dumb and incompetent king, he can see that his skills are quite powerful when he pacified the three feudatories and destroyed Galdan earlier, if you want to really provoke this suspicious heart, you might as well use the current surrender of troops." ”
Ning Zhongyuan and Cui Wancai glanced at each other, and laughed loudly in unison, but the others were a little confused.
After all, Ning Zhongjing was very smart, and he quickly guessed the reason and asked, "Yu'er is talking about Yue Lingfeng?" ”
"Exactly, since the beginning of the army, my Ning family has captured the highest-ranking green battalion general, is the third-rank general Yue Lingfeng, if you can persuade this person and other green battalion generals to join our army, I am afraid that the world will really shake three points." Ning Yu said with a smile.
Cui Wancai smiled and said: "Yu'er, do you know that these green camp officials are not so easy to serve you, if the general trend is still in the hands of the Manchus today, if you want to convince them, it will be very difficult." ”
Ning Yu grinned and said: "Those who can persuade will naturally find themselves under the steps, but if it doesn't work, our army can also forge their handwriting, and the same is true for writing fake surrender letters." Regardless of whether this letter of submission is true or not, Kangxi is estimated to be beating the drum in his heart. ”
These words suddenly made the people present suddenly enlightened, and from the beginning they actually entered a misunderstanding, that is, there must be a real green battalion general to serve in order to make Kangxi suspicious of the Han people.
Actually, there is no need at all! Because the Ning family is from the Green Camp! It can be said that from the time when the Ning family raised the army, it was impossible for the Manchurian relatives and nobles to rest assured of the Han people, because the living examples of reality are placed here, who dares to guarantee that there is no next Ning Zhongyuan?
As long as the Ning family plays the banner, there will be one more choice for the Han people in the whole world. Although it has been nearly 80 years since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, after all, there is a saying in the world that Hu Lu has no luck for a hundred years, how did Zhu Yuanzhang start? It can be said that from the beginning, the Ning family was not alone.
Since the founding of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the counterattack of the Han people has been wave after wave, and the anti-Qing forces of the people are also in the process of continuous development.
Thinking of this, Ning Yu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If we want to achieve great things, we have to make more friends and fewer enemies." ”
