After Li Laiheng and other Kuidong generals returned victoriously, Zhu Youlang immediately issued an order to go east.

This was also to ensure that the defenders of Nanking remained at a reasonable level.

After all, Nanjing's economic and political status are very important, and there must be no room for error.

With Li Laiheng and other Kuidong generals stationed, Zhu Youlang can rest assured that he will go on the expedition.

As for Zheng Chenggong, let him be stationed in Zhejiang for the time being.

After all, Zhejiang and Fujian are adjacent to each other, and Geng Jimao is not a good stubble, and he has always coveted Zhejiang.

Zhu Youlang didn't want to move Geng Jimao for the time being, but he also had to ensure that the territory that had been laid down was not threatened by Geng Jimao.

When a large army goes out, grain and grass are the most important.

Previously, Zhang Huangyan had prepared the grain and grass needed by the army, which was enough for two or three months.

Previously, Kui Dong Zhuxun and Zheng Chenggong had the opportunity to show their enlistment. Li Dingguo has been holding his breath, and now it seems that the Son of Heaven attaches the most importance to him Li Dingguo.

He is very confident in attacking Li Dingguo in Yangzhou, and this time he must behave well in front of the Son of Heaven.

Of course, in addition to Li Dingguo's subordinates, the Tiger Ben Army under Zhu Youlang is also one of the main forces.

After more than two years of training, the Tiger Army can now be independent.

Zhao Xu, as the most trusted general of the Son of Heaven, is now playing an increasingly obvious role in the war.

Zhu Youlang also intends to use some new generals.

After all, the future of Daming belongs to these newcomers.

If Zhu Youlang wants the Tiger Army to have a better inheritance, he must promote more newcomers.

They may not all be required to develop as perfect as Zhao Xu, but at least they must be independent.

Embarking on the journey again, Zhu Youlang was still a little excited.

To be honest, he doesn't really like to be trapped in the palace and live a life of clothes to reach for food and open his mouth.

This kind of life is too intoxicating, so Zhu Youlang will feel a little lost.

In contrast, he prefers military life, and eating and living with the soldiers makes Zhu Youlang feel very real.

Yangzhou, I'm coming!

Zhu Youlang secretly cheered himself up in his heart.

Take Yangzhou and other five prefectures, and the entire Jiangnan region will basically be under control.

...

...

After Zhou Yuji left, the atmosphere in Yangzhou City immediately became tense.

Because there is news that the Ming army is about to attack Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is a place of drunkenness, and the wealthy businessmen and tycoons who heard the news were all frightened. They all wanted to arrange the transfer, but the Wen prefect ordered martial law in the whole city, and then these businessmen were dumbfounded.

Yangzhou City is not allowed to enter and exit, and strict curfew management is implemented. For a while, the wind was loud and the people were panicked.

Among the government offices, the prefect Wen Mu'an was in a very heavy mood.

Although he knew that this day would come sooner or later, Wen Mu'an still felt a little flustered after the real arrival.

How many soldiers and horses did the Ming army come? How many firearms were brought? How many guns are there?

These are all unknowns.

Although 50,000 soldiers and horses in Yangzhou City seems like a lot, can it really be defended?

There are far more soldiers and horses in Wuchang and Nanchang than in Yangzhou, but aren't they the same as not holding on?

And that's Hu Quancai and Hong Chengchou.

Both of them were the pillars of the Qing court, and they were also hacked to death by the Ming army like chopping melons and vegetables.

Wen Mu'an felt that he was definitely not as good as these two, how long could he hold on?

People always say that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, but in Wen Muan's opinion, this is simply a dead end.

The Qing court must not be able to count on it now, and Wen Mu'an can only rely on himself!

After thinking about it, Wen Mu'an still wanted to invite all the generals in Yangzhou City to discuss it together.

Wen Mu'an's status is far inferior to Hong Chengchou and Hu Quancai.

Therefore, he could not shout at the generals.

Now he was in a hurry to ask the generals, so he could only go and ask.

It's a little humble, but it's the only way to survive.

After a stick of incense, all the generals in Yangzhou City arrived.

Wen Mu'an said in a deep voice: "Since you have all arrived, this mansion will speak directly. Presumably, you all already know that the Ming thief is about to attack Yangzhou. This government has invited you to discuss how to defend against the enemy. ”

"Wen Fuzun, defending the city is nothing more than guns and ammunition, arrows and food, etc. As long as these are sufficient, the city will be able to hold on. ”

Qian Liang took the lead in holding his fist.

Wen Mu'an frowned when he heard this.

This money is really on paper, if he listens to this, it is better to do it behind closed doors.

"Fuzun, there will be a strategy to ensure that Yangzhou is worry-free."

"General Zhao, please speak."

Wen Mu'an turned to Zhao Lian and said in his voice.

"What the Ming army wants is nothing more than money and food. Yangzhou is rich in the first party, and there is money. If the Ming army wants money, let's send him money. Spend money to buy peace. ”

Wen Muan thought that Qian Liang was a straw bag, but compared with Qian Liang, this Zhao Liang was even more stupid, and he was simply a fool who couldn't get on the table.

Spending money to buy peace?

It does not mean whether the army will be willing to withdraw after taking the money. Even if the Ming army retreated, once this matter reached the imperial court, Wen Mu'an would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

With the temper of Emperor Shunzhi, a hat of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country was buttoned down, and his head could not be cut off directly.

No, this mistake must not be made.

"Is there any other way?"

Wen Mu'an glanced at everyone, looking very helpless.

"Wen Fuzun, what if we surrender?"

Wang Fude took the initiative to offer advice.

"Surrender?"

Wen Mu'an's heart was beating when he heard it, this is a technical job.

Once you don't do it well, it is likely to be directly served in one pot.

"The thief is extremely inflated now, which is normal, and he will win the battle in a row. The Admiral thinks we can take advantage of this and make a big fuss. ”

Wang Fude swallowed and spitted at the mouth, and continued: "When the thieves come to attack the city, they will inevitably persuade them to surrender as usual. At that time, we only need to open the city gate, and when the thief general enters the city, we can put down the golden gate, and we can cut it in half with men and horses. ”

Wang Fude made a head-killing gesture, looking very excited.

Wen Mu'an seemed a little hesitant.

"What if the thieves let us go out of the city and surrender after we surrender?"

Wen Mu'an's worries are not unreasonable, since they have surrendered, they naturally have no bargaining power.

The Ming army's request to go out of the city and surrender is not an unreasonable request, and if it is really proposed, there is no reason why they should not agree.

Doesn't it mean that there is a ghost in your heart if you don't agree?

"Let Benfu think again..."

After thinking for a moment, Wen Mu'an sighed: "I still have to think about the back." If the thief doesn't agree, we can have a response. ”

"Then it doesn't hurt to go out of the city and surrender. We are still ambushing the axe men in the city. After the thieves entered the city, they must have entered the government. At that time, we will kill them again in one fell swoop, and they will be caught off guard. ”

Wen Mu'an's heart was beating in horror when he heard it. It's exciting, isn't it?

If that's the case, wouldn't it be a gamble?

If the enemy's main army cannot be killed and shaken the morale of the army, it is basically impossible to win this battle.

The gambling component is simply too high.
