After explaining the military deployment and combat plan, after the two left.

Song An, who had been standing behind Wu Zheng, stepped forward and said softly: "This matter must be strange, in my opinion, it is better to send Mimi to another place." ”

Wu Zheng said casually: "Where?" ”

“…… Matsue Military Academy. Song An thought for a while and replied.

"Confinement?"

"Yes, too."

Wu Zheng snorted and said, "You want Qian Qiaogong to hate me to death!" ”

Song An hurriedly said: "I don't want to imprison Mimi for the rest of my life, as long as the overall situation is settled after this battle, I can let her be free." ”

Wu Zhengyi waved his hand and said, "No need." But she's just a woman, and even if she does come on a mission, my old father-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp...... The affairs of the Qian family will be left to the Qian family to take care of! ”

Seeing that Wu Zheng had made up his mind, Song An stopped talking and answered "yes".

Then Song An started to say something else: "All the people in Shuntianfu who have their hearts towards the young master have secretly sent news. ”

"What's the news?"

Song An hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that the Qing court is going to do something against Azig...... In addition, they wanted to take advantage of the Mimi Nantou incident to launch a joint impeachment against Zilharang, so as to disrupt the Qing court and cooperate with our army's northern offensive. ”

Wu Zheng frowned and thought about it, shook his head and said, "It's not a good way...... Although there is a good chance that Zilharang is involved in Mimy's affairs, after all, he is only a granddaughter, and Qian Qiaogong's return did not affect him before, but made him go to the next level...... Besides, people like Chen Mingxia and others had no military power, so they couldn't threaten Jilharang, so they made a big fuss, but they were taken advantage of by Jierharang to clean up...... It's not worth it! ”

Song An said: "That...... How do you reply to them? ”

"Just say stay still and wait for the opportunity."

"Yes."

"At home...... You okay? ”

The family that Wu Zheng said is not a small family, but everyone.

Song An naturally understood and replied, "Mo Lao has already started issuing new silver coins...... It should be three days later, I heard that there was not much reaction from the people, but Mo Lao persuaded the shareholders of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce...... It didn't go well, and some major shareholders threatened to ask the young master to ....... ”

Song An suddenly stopped talking.

Wu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "How do you want me to ...... Speak! ”

Song An had no choice but to say, "They want the young master to fulfill the promise he made back then...... It is said that the Chamber of Commerce has invested nearly 20 million taels of silver before and after, and the new city has been built for a year, but the young master has not moved...... It's time to move the city. ”

Wu Zheng's eyes shrank, but his face was calm.

The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is undoubtedly the largest investor in the construction of the new city.

The start-up capital for Wu Zheng's reorganization of the Northern Expeditionary Army was the initial capital for the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce to invest in the new city.

said that it was the money for the purchase of land, but everyone understands that most of this huge amount of money flowed into the reorganized Northern Expeditionary Army.

No one is a fool, the new city only builds houses and does not build walls, is there a "capital" in this world that does not build city walls?

So from the very beginning, the gang of people in the Chamber of Commerce vaguely guessed that the intention was to collect money, but they pretended to be stupid and pretended not to know, the reason was very simple, as long as they continued to expand their power, then their silver would not be profitable or lost.

In fact, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce has been expanding to the north due to Wu Zheng's continuous expansion, and its strength is changing with each passing day, especially after taking over and reorganizing the Hanming Bank, it has almost beaten the invincible opponents in the world in terms of commerce and trade, and even the Qing court is quite jealous.

Because silver has no position.

Whoever comes to his pocket, he will be at his disposal.

In the officialdom of the Qing court, all those who had surplus grain at home more or less became shareholders and had a relationship with the Jiangbei Branch of the Chamber of Commerce.

It is precisely because of the expansion of the strength of the Chamber of Commerce that shareholders from Jiangbei continue to pour in, and the voice of the Jiangnan Business Gang, which was originally absolutely controlled, has been constantly diluted.

Although in the joint meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, the Jiangnan business gang still accounts for the majority, but it is impossible to curb the demands of the Jiangbei business gang.

In the words of later generations, in business, investment must be rewarded.

I can't really fault this point.

"It's time to cash in." Wu Zheng said leisurely, "Lonely is not a person who has no faith in his word...... You send a message back and let Mo Lao tell them that after this battle, Lone will move to the city! ”

Song An was stunned, "The young master really wants to move the General's Mansion to Songjiang?" That...... Although the business is prosperous, after all, there is not an inch of city wall, in case of ....... ”

"Afraid of what?" Wu Zheng glanced at Song An, "With the sailor here, it is difficult for the Qing army to cross the river, if it is just a young person, there is no Changlin Wei of you." ”

Song An had no choice but to respond, "Yes." ”

……。

Two days later, the battle to retake Haizhou began.

The Wind and Thunder Cavalry rushed to the east and west gates of Haizhou in two ways to prevent the defenders from repeating the sneak attack of the day.

Wu Songwei's artillery regiment of more than 6,000 monks and 2,000 people approached the south gate of Haizhou head-on.

On the city wall, Yue Le calmly observed the formation of the Northern Expeditionary Army through the telescope, he felt a little melancholy in his heart, it was also the New Army of Muskets, why was the march of the Northern Expeditionary Army more pleasing to the eye than the New Army under his command?

Oranges are born in the north and south, and oranges in the south and oranges in the north.

But Yue Le was not frightened, in his opinion, this battle had to be fought, and his new army had already deployed three artillery pieces, especially the sixteen heavy artillery pieces at the south gate.

Troops, ammunition, and food are sufficient, and if you want to break the city, if you don't fight for January or February, you don't want to break the city at all, and at this time, the imperial court has already sent reinforcements one after another, and besides, Yanzhou Dolbo has also agreed to send troops to Haizhou, that is to say, this is a stalemate war with no end date.

Yue Le's deployment was decent, and he even ordered the cavalry of the defenders in the city not to go out of the city for a single step, and dared to go out of the city to meet the battle, and beheaded!

It was Yue Le who beheaded Ji Xiha and Lan Bai in public, and this time, those Manchu generals with eyes on the top of their heads did not dare to speak up again.

Of course, it was also because of the destruction of the elite cavalry led by Tong Dai.

THIS CAVALRY, FROM THE EXPEDITION TO MOBEI OUTSIDE THE PASS TO THE DEFEAT OF GORYEO (IT SHOULD BE CHAOXIAN, TO AVOID SHIELDING) TO ENTER THE PASS TO FIGHT THE MING ARMY, HAS BEEN INVINCIBLE, BUT NOW, OUTSIDE THE SMALL TOWN OF XINBA, THE WHOLE ARMY IS GONE.

This can't help but make these Manchu generals who are above the top upset upset, is it true that firearms are really going to rob them of their jobs?

But one thing is certain, Yue Le, the Prince of An and the new general Xuanwei, is indeed more authoritative than his predecessor, Haizhou City has become a hard fortress blocked by three gates, that is to say, the Wind and Thunder Cavalry divided the troops into two ways to outflank the east and west of Haizhou City, which is actually useless.

If it is really in the form of a strong attack, then the battle of Haizhou City will become a flesh mill.

Does Wu Zheng really want to fight this vicious battle where the fish are dead and the net is broken, and they all end up together?

Of course not!

Wu Zheng came in person, not for a bloody battle under the city of Haizhou, let alone for the sake of a mere Haizhou, and to lose the main force of Wu Songwei.

So, how to achieve the goal of breaking the city in three days?
