It's no wonder that Ma Fengzhi sighed so emotionally, Shi Lang took the initiative to inform him of this battle plan that combined the virtual and the real, which seemed to be trusting him, but in fact he was putting pressure on him to force him and Shi Lang to jump into the same boat.

Ma Fengzhi had been riding the wall before, because he wasn't sure who would have the last laugh in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Rather than saying that it is difficult to change your attitude in the future, it is better to sit on the sidelines and wait until the situation is clear before making a decision.

Anyway, no matter who is the emperor, he has a strong army in his hands, so he has the confidence and bargaining power.

With the development of the situation, it also confirmed Ma Fengzhi's judgment.

The Ming army was really not so weak that it was vulnerable.

At this critical juncture, Shi Lang jumped out and forced Ma Fengzhi to express his position, I have to say that it really made Ma Fengzhi very embarrassed.

"The commander of Jiangning died in battle before he was loyal to him, and his official position was vacant. If Nanjing is taken, Admiral Ma may be able to replace him with this great achievement. ”

Shi Lang laid out the conditions undisguisedly, and then looked at Ma Fengzhi fixedly, waiting for him to make a decision.

I have to say that Ma Fengzhi was really moved after hearing this condition.

That's Admiral Jiangning.

"What does General Shi need Ma to do?"

Ma Fengzhi squinted his eyes and said.

"It's very simple, Admiral Ma only needs to follow Shi Moutong to send troops to attack Nanjing. You and I join forces, Zheng Thief has no chance of winning. ”

Shi Lang said without hesitation.

He had already calculated that the combat strength of the Ming army would not exceed 20,000.

And Shi Lang's subordinates alone have more than 50,000.

Coupled with the 30,000 troops under Ma Fengzhi, the total strength can be 80,000, which is four times that of the Ming army.

If this crushing advantage can't be won again, it's really hell.

Now the key is to look at Ma Fengzhi's attitude.

Shi Lang definitely can't accept this posture of riding the wall.

In any case, Ma Fengzhi must give a clear answer today.

Ma Fengzhi could feel the pressure from Shi Lang.

He tapped his fingers, and after a long time, he finally relented: "Okay, I am willing to send troops." ”

His implementation is not completely certain, and the reason why he is so strong is that he is afraid that Ma Fengzhi will refuse.

The mere inducement of such a person is not enough to make him take a stand.

What needs to be said still has to be said in place.

"Haha, Shi knows that General Ma is a cheerful person!"

Shi Lang exclaimed: "Let's complete this great plan for thousands of generations!" ”

However, it was said that after He Shouyi led his troops to Hangzhou, the remaining generals went out of the city to greet them.

As the chief soldier personally commended by the Son of Heaven, He Shouyi has been in the wind and water recently.

In addition, the Zhongwang family has a lot of trust in He Shouyi, and the soldiers of the Zheng family army naturally trust He Shouyi very much.

"How are the troops stationed in the city now?"

He Shouyi couldn't take a break, and began to inquire as soon as he entered the city.

"Lord Qiqi. Originally, there were 30,000 garrisons in Hangzhou, but they were basically transferred to Jiangxi. Now there are only 5,000 soldiers, and 5,000 auxiliaries. ”

"Five thousand is too little."

He Shouyi sighed.

Hangzhou is notoriously large, and the city walls are also notoriously many.

It would be nice to have 500 people at one city gate evenly.

Five hundred men defending the city is a joke.

"The general army brought 10,000 people, and on average, there were only 1,000 people at one city gate, which is still too little."

He Shouyi frowned and said, "Recruit some people to help defend the city." Even if they can't kill the captives, it's still okay to help carry the supplies for the city. ”

In fact, He Shouyi has no confidence in whether he can hold Hangzhou.

After all, the gap between the forces of the two sides is too large, and if there is a real fight, as long as there is a problem at one city gate, it will fall short.

But no matter how hard it is, you have to do it.

"Yes!"

Hangzhou has a large population, and it is not difficult to recruit some young people in a short period of time. Not to mention tens of thousands of people, even 100,000 people can be recruited.

This time, He Shouyi did not come empty-handed, but brought a lot of guns.

Zheng Chenggong gave He Shouyi a batch before, and now Zheng Jing has provided some more.

Taken together, the number of firearms is definitely sufficient.

He Shouyi immediately ordered someone to push the cannon up through the horse road and placed it near the city gate towers everywhere.

When the Qing army comes to attack, He Shouyi will adjust it according to the specific situation.

It is the turn of spring and summer, and the scenery of Hangzhou is very good.

But because of the war, no one appreciated the beauty at all.

This is still the case in the city, not to mention the washing outside the city.

No matter how the West Lake with heavy makeup and light makeup changes, it just can't attract people to go out of the city to watch.

Knowing that the Qing army was coming, the people were hiding at home, where were they still in the mood to swim in what lake.

In a wine shop in Wulin Gate, several scholars sat around the window seats, their faces sad and very depressed.

"There are only 20,000 people in this city, how can they withstand the Manchu army."

"Yes, we just cut off our braids, and if the tartars come in again, we won't have a way to live."

"Yes, hey, the world is unpredictable."

"Shhhhhh I heard that this new soldier is a ruthless man, and if he hears you say this, we will not have any good fruit to eat. ”

"Well, that makes sense. You still have to be cautious about what you say and do. ”

They had just had a few drinks, and the shopkeeper came over with a smiling face.

"I'm really sorry, I just received an order from above, all the city's wine shops, teahouses and restaurants must be closed, the whole city is under martial law, and no one is allowed to go to the street without permission."

"What does this mean? Don't you even let people finish a meal? ”

"Look at what Zhao Gongzi said, of course you can eat it after you pay. I'm just afraid I'll have to take it back and eat it. ”

"Shopkeeper He, this is a bit unauthentic, right? Is it really just a short time? ”

"Oh, Mr. Li, you don't know. This order was given in a hurry, and we did not dare to slack off. Besides, the little old man is also for your good. Now the top is starting to recruit young people throughout the city to help defend the city, and you can avoid it when you go home early. Wouldn't it be unfortunate if it was to be bumped into. ”

These boys just had nowhere to vent, and the shopkeeper He bumped into him, and they immediately patted the table and said, "Shopkeeper He, if you don't let us finish this meal, you won't be able to get along with us!" ”

Several people were clamoring and shouting, and the sound clearly caught the attention of the soldiers patrolling the streets.

They walked into the house with knives, and when they saw a few boys, they snorted coldly, "Aren't there a few young ones. The Tartars are coming, and they still have the heart to have fun here. The commander-in-chief has ordered the whole city to recruit young men to help defend the city, so come with us. ”

"I, we are scholars, we don't fight..."

Brother Gongzi was a little panicked, and he didn't choose to speak.

The soldier snorted and laughed: "The chief soldier didn't say that the scholars don't need to help defend the city, if you are a man, you will follow us." ”
