Chapter 125: Clearly Losing His Deer
Seeing that Lin Guozhong was about to leave, Lu Zhenfei immediately shouted: "Mr. Lin is long and slow, it is rare to be in a hurry again." ”
Qian Shangshu also stepped forward with a smile: "Please give me advice, how to appease the anger of the prince." Craftsmen and other craftsmen will go all out to help the Han army return south. ”
Thinking of the military strength of the Han army, Huang Shangshu also drank bitter tea calmly.
Seeing that Qian Shangshu was so enthusiastic, Lin Guozhong spoke: "If Qian Shangshu has the heart to do what he can, he will not be able to write for Shangshu to remember, presumably King Annan also knows the goodness of the Qian family." ”
After receiving Lin Guozhong's assurance, Qian Shangshu was overjoyed: "Good, King Annan is benevolent and righteous to save the world and help the people, and my Qian family is also moved by it, and I should be willing to help my meager strength." ”
"Qian Shangshu is noble." Lin Guozhong said goodbye and left after another politeness.
After Lin Guozhong walked away, Huang Shangshu immediately snorted coldly: "What is the difference between this King of Annan and the thief!" ”
Qian Shangshu sneered, he can do nothing in the Qian family, and he doesn't care about others.
Lu Zhenfei smiled bitterly and persuaded: "Huang Shangshu, our army was defeated in this battle. If it weren't for the Han army rushing south to spend the winter, Nanjing would be difficult to survive and Jiangnan would be difficult to recover! 20 million taels is not much, although the small wall of the Lu family is low, they are willing to contribute to the anger of the Han army. ”
Buy your life with money! Huang Daozhou also knew that this could only be the case, and no one was willing to risk the safety of his family.
Then the three of them gathered all the officials and people from various families, and hundreds of people discussed together.
There were many people talking and arguing for a long time. But everyone did not dare to disagree, they all knew that the Han army would sweep in the coming year.
Each family had shops and mansions in Nanjing, and 20 million taels were quickly raised. There are even 10 million taels more, which are all sponsored by each family. These 30 million taels are recorded in account books, and the families dare not give too little. The people quarreled for a long time, that is, they discussed the share that each family should give.
As for the 20,000 craftsmen and nearly 100,000 craftsmen, wives and children are trivial, and there is no shortage of craftsmen and small people in Jiangnan. The weapons and armor made the generals feel distressed, but they didn't dare to refute it. These generals were more afraid of the Han army than civilian officials. After all, when the Han army killed, they were the first to die.
Zhenjiang City, at this time, the more Huang Degong waited, the cooler his heart became.
"Dashuai, there has been no movement for a day, the imperial army will not retreat, right?" The general couldn't help but ask.
Pretending to be calm, Huang Degong smiled faintly: "How can hundreds of thousands of troops retreat lightly, maybe they are negotiating!" ”
Huang Degong had lost hope, and he couldn't believe that the army of more than 300,000 had collapsed and left. Let the soldiers in the city know that if they knew that the army of nearly a million had been defeated, the morale of the 50,000 horses would fall to the bottom.
The silver taels and craftsmen of Nanjing City sent them overnight, and the oxen and carriages had thousands of taels.
After counting thousands of people, Wu Jiu also came up with a frightening figure.
"The lord estimated that there were 30 million taels of silver, and there were only a lot more weapons and armor. There were 120,000 new craftsmen, and 2,500 stonemasons. ”
Thirty million taels is a lot, but Chen Xiong has lost interest in paying attention. In troubled times, silver is not worth much, and the current silver taels can't buy much things, let alone buy a large number of food supplies.
More than silver weapons, he was more satisfied with more than 2,000 stonemasons. Nearly 10,000 stonemasons also mean that there will be more and more heavy rides. However, the top priority is to rush back to Guangzhou as soon as possible for a good New Year.
Early the next morning, the Han army began to leave, and Chen Xiong also explained to the sailor general Zhou Li on the dock: "Zhou Li, your sailor recruited troops all the way to coerce the Ming Dynasty water village Haiwei to hand over a part of the sailor ships, but they cannot be attacked. Passing through Fujian, he avoided the Zheng pirates and rushed to the sea off Guangzhou as soon as possible to wait for the arrival of the headquarters. ”
Originally, it was planned to travel by sea, but now the sailors can protect themselves and do not need the Han army to take care of them on land. What's more, the road in this era is still more convenient to travel from Hunan to Guangzhou.
"Honorable Order." Zhou Li bowed deeply, and now he is completely convinced.
"Okay, cherish all the way." Chen Xiong also left immediately after speaking.
Eight thousand men and horses of the Sixth Army were mounted to open the way, and then the Fifth Army of the Han Dynasty. The pro-soldiers were in the center, then the Inner Guards were behind, and the last to be on guard was the Fifth Cavalry Army. The half-crippled Sixth Army of the Han Dynasty walked with the headquarters. Thousands of wounded soldiers lay on the wagons, occupying a large number of vehicles and horses. So that many young people have to carry more than ten or twenty catties of materials.
Fortunately, Hermes-Epitek in this era is hard-working, as long as he can eat enough and not get sick, he can walk for ten hours a day. Thirty or forty kilometers a day, at least a month to reach Guangzhou at this speed. This is still the Ming Dynasty, and Guangdong has also been developed. In the Song Dynasty, the road to Lingnan was even more difficult to pass.
Seeing the Han army slowly leaving, Huang Degong finally admitted the facts. The Ming army had already been defeated, and the army of more than 300,000 troops was defeated on the first day.
The Han army left, and Huang Degong also rushed to Nanjing with all his men, he just wanted to know how many of his men were left.
The waterway battles on both sides of the Yangtze River, and the battle of millions of soldiers and horses, only occurred at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. This battle is destined to be famous for eternity, even if the Han army lord Chen Xiong is defeated in the end, he will be recorded in the history books like Xiang Yu.
The defeat of Jiangnan also represents the complete defeat of the imperial court, and it makes people suspect that the Ming Dynasty will be exhausted.
The prince and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning, the old Zhu family has lost its deer, and many people with a heart have begun to move. The hooligan and scoundrel Liu Bang can become the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and the beggar monk Zhu Chongba can also ascend to the throne; Now that the troubled times are annihilated, anyone can claim to be the king and dominate the world.
Jiangnan was defeated, and the Jiangnan family would not be too disappointed, but their eyes were like torches: whether it was accumulating strength or investing in the princes, they would be able to achieve huge gains in the future. Above 10,000 people, feudal lords, and founding honors, these are like poisons that attract talented literati.
The rise of the Han army broke the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, giving the traitorous ministers another choice, and also making many loyal ministers begin to waver.
The most panicked in this battle was the Zhu family's royal family, and the princes and princes of various places were more worried about the fate of the future.
But the more desperate person is the white-haired young man of Daming Palace, who is in his thirties, which is the year when men should be established. But at this time, the emperor was already gray-haired, and all white appeared on Chongzhen's head overnight.
"The saint hasn't eaten for a day, Chen Ge is going to persuade him!" The old eunuch Wang Chengen finally couldn't stand it anymore and came to the cabinet in person.
Chen Cifu frowned and nodded: "The prince leads the way." ”
Chongzhen didn't give up, and he couldn't give up either. The desk is full of reports from all over the world, and there are many ancient and modern strategy books.
There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book, and the emperor feels that there should be a strategy to save the country in the book.
Young people should be beautiful in their arms when they are drinking wine, looking at the Huafa Emperor in front of him, Chen Yan has in his heart: a thousand emotions are intertwined in his heart.
The Dashun army already occupied half of Huaibei and most of Henan, as well as the entire Guanzhong and the northwest, and Li Zicheng had already occupied a quarter of the country at this time. Hunan Sichuan and Shu are also in the clutches of the Great Western Army, and the Jiangnan of the Ming Dynasty has also been completely trampled under the feet of the Han Army. He knew that the Ming Dynasty was already difficult to save, not only in the north, but also in the south, and it would be difficult to stop the Han army in the future. If Jiangnan is lost, the Ming Dynasty will no longer have any life, and even if the secession party is hopeless.
The haggard and determined emperor was still tireless, and he didn't even know that his footsteps were near. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "The Plants and Trees of the Late Ming Dynasty" for free reading for the first time.
