Chapter 743: Gambling Contract

Friends who have played battle games such as masturbation, pesticides, and DOTA will understand that there are generally two types of headwinds.

One is that in the early stage, people were abused by blood, and people couldn't find the north, and they had to doubt their lives, but there was a strong late stage in the team, or the team was controlled and exploded, and someone would play, but for various reasons, they didn't play well in the early stage, or the lineup was suppressed, and they could only hold on in the early stage, as long as they held on, they would definitely have a chance.

This is called a headwind with a 'turnaround'.

The other one is a bit miserable.

What's the late five, ATM, sending chickens and birds, abusing teammates, spring commanders, professional trolls...... And so on and so forth, making people feel like they are in a black hole, and there is no hope at all, so they can only start over.

At this time, the situation of the Ming Dynasty has basically sunk into the second type, but the model army is a variable in the first type, the legendary 'turning point'!

At the political level, Xu Changqing and the Model Army are indeed at a disadvantage.

But at the military level, the main force of the model army has not been damaged, and even if the soldiers are strong, they still have the ability to launch a decisive team battle!

Although there are many risks and no way out, this is enough!

Having straightened out the overall line of thinking, Xu Changqing quickly convened a military meeting to raise the model army to the highest level of combat readiness; at the same time, he continued to strengthen liaison with Nanjing, strengthened the initiative of the model army and the intelligence system in various localities, and went all out to carry out pre-war preparations.

……

Soon, all kinds of information came from the front.

Similar to Xu Changqing's guess, Dolgon was even more decisive than he imagined, not missing a penny of Nanjing at all, and the overall strategy of the Qing army moved northward, that is, the fleet of Luzhou was gone.

On the political front, as Xu Changqing expected, the Qing army launched a wave of political pressure on the model army.

Their selection is quite exquisite!

Perhaps it was the Nanjing Revolution that hurt the core of many of their detailed work in Nanjing, and they did not start this campaign directly from Nanjing, but from the periphery of Jiangyin, Suzhou, Huaiyang and other surrounding areas, taking the route of 'rural encirclement of the city', many data rumors exposed, false and true, true and false, professionals may not be able to refute the truth.

It has to be said that this strategy has been quite successful.

As the main force of the Qing army retreated, Nanjing and the surrounding areas resumed circulation, and it was difficult for Jinyiwei to stop this kind of news circulation.

Even because of the strength of Jinyiwei, everyone did not dare to speak on the bright side, and they became more and more secretive about these rumors.

At this time, there has been a highly recognizable news in Nanjing, and everyone has reached a certain consensus:

"In this battle, the Great Qing Kingdom plundered more than 2 million people of the Ming Dynasty in the southern part of Shandong and the Lianghuai region, and all kinds of property amounted to tens of millions of taels."

"In addition, some time ago, the Great Qing Kingdom severely damaged the model army in Haicheng, killing more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of various departments of the model army, and nearly ten senior generals above the guerrilla level of the model army were killed in battle.

In later generations, with such a strong control, many times it is not very easy to deal with rumors, let alone at this time?

As a result, Nanjing, including the entire Jiangnan region, even if the military threat is lifted, is shrouded in an invisible but real 'white. Horror', everyone is at risk!

Many people don't even dare to go out, so they close their doors and lock their windows, and they stay at home, and even the crops in the fields are not harvested, ready to flee at any time.

I was afraid that the Great Qing Kingdom would cross the river at any time and come back.

At this time, the cabinet was already in a hurry, and the imperial court was like a headless fly, and all kinds of means were used, trying to preserve the autumn harvest and stabilize the situation, but the effect was very little.

is so messy, the Ming Dynasty has not seen it for a hundred years.

Even the changes in the civil fort back then were not so terrifying.

In any case, the Qing Dynasty's 'desperate plan' has been successful, and the Hongguang Dynasty, which has just been established, has already made matters worse than the economy.

……

"Fuck me, how dare these dogs, how dare they! How dare they fart like this, aren't they talking about the fuck with their eyes open? ”

"Give me back the Jingguan of the model soldiers? I their eighteenth generation ancestors, and Lao Tzu wants to put the Beijing view of their dog slaves under the capital! ”

"Dog Tartar deceives people too much, killing people can't kill people, what the hell do you want to do? Is it the root of our model army? ”

"Dashuai, we can't be so conservative anymore, we must take the initiative! Lao Tzu wants to see how the dog offal puts Lao Tzu's head into a Beijing view! ”

"Dashuai, you give the order, we must kill these dog tartars this time......"

“……”

Haicheng, in the large conference room of the official hall, all the generals were excited, and one by one they were almost about to explode, it was Zhang Long, who was the oldest and most serious, including the red lady, who couldn't help it, and asked for war one after another.

This is the effect that Xu Changqing deliberately achieved.

After getting these news, Xu Changqing did not hide it, but disclosed all the news.

This is only the first step, and the senior generals of the military know that tomorrow morning, the Haicheng Morning Post will publish a commentator's article to inform the whole city.

Of course, there must be fine artistic processing.

"What's all the noise? Military affairs, how can it be child's play?! Go back to do your job, calm the emotions of the good boys, and wait for orders at any time! ”

"Handsome ......"

"Adjournment!"

"This ......"

The generals wanted to say something more, but Xu Changqing simply left decisively.

This made the generals feel like they had been strangled to death suddenly, and their uncontrollable anger was uncontrollable, and they were about to explode, but there was no way to vent at all.

The next morning, as soon as the commentator's article in Haicheng Morning Post, co-written by Wu Meicun and Mao Bijiang, together with more than a dozen people, came out, the whole Haicheng exploded.

Especially the progressive students and young people, more than an hour later, a large march was gathered outside Xu Changqing's official hall, chanting various slogans, it was necessary to teach the Tartars a lesson, and even save many Ming people.

The location of the backyard of the new official hall adjacent to the middle courtyard.

The top of a nine-story pagoda made entirely of fine stone and has just been built.

Seeing Xu Changqing watching the tyrannical parade of many young people outside with great interest and condescendingly, Zhang Baozhu, who was dressed in plain monk clothes, poured a cup of tea for Xu Changqing, and couldn't help but say in horror: "Master Hou, this, this won't happen, right?" With so many people gathered together, we have to control it......"

Xu Changqing smiled, but he didn't answer the question: "How does Madam feel about this pagoda?" ”

“……”

Zhang Baozhu couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

Who would have thought that now that everything is burning and something big is going to happen, Xu Changqing still doesn't care at all, and is still beating her idea......

Isn't this a complete 'faint king'......

But at this time, Xu Changqing didn't have much covetousness in his eyes, and Xu Changqing was obviously not the kind of person who was dizzy.

What does he want to do?

Zhang Baozhu's heart, which was originally as calm as water, couldn't help but be messy, so he could only persuade patiently: "Master Hou, you... You're still young, and I know you're someone who won't admit defeat, but... Sometimes, we have to recognize the reality. There is a limit to the power of a person. You should go with the flow......"

With Zhang Baozhu's temperament, this is definitely in place.

That is, she can sincerely feel Xu Changqing's respect for her, especially Xu Changqing's treatment of the people is very soft, except for some basic taxes, Haicheng has almost no additional payments.

Even in such a messy wartime state at this time, the prices in Haicheng did not fluctuate much, and the common people could easily eat their stomachs, because of the many fishing teams, they could eat seafood almost every meal.

Especially the prosperity of Haicheng, including this magnificent and chic pagoda, Zhang Baozhu has already liked this city, and even wants to return to his roots here.

She really didn't want all this to be ruined, so she also mustered up the greatest courage to comfort Xu Changqing.

Looking at Zhang Baozhu's flustered appearance, Xu Changqing couldn't help but appreciate it more and more.

Beauty is beauty.

Even if Zhang Baozhu is almost forty, he is only wearing a plain monk's robe at this time, without any powder, but the kind of beauty that mature women exude from the inside out after years of precipitation makes Xu Changqing feel relaxed and happy.

"You ......"

Seeing that Xu Changqing was still showing a nymphomaniac appearance at this time, Zhang Baozhu really wanted to kick Xu Changqing's ass hard to make this guy sober up.

At this time, is it a joke?

Seeing that Zhang Baozhu was really angry, Xu Changqing came back to his senses, but he still answered the question, and said with a smile: "Madam, why don't we make a bet?" If so, if I can solve the crisis of this battle, or even rescue some of the people who have been plundered by the Tartars, how about you accompany me to dinner? Rest assured, it is simply eating, talking, plus admiring the moon and the like. In front of the Buddha, I, a little mortal, don't dare to speak. ”

“……”

Zhang Baozhu rolled his eyes angrily.

With her experience, how can she not understand that a creature like a man has always stepped on his nose and face, and Xu Changqing made this 'Sima Zhao's heart-everyone knows. ’

But then Zhang Baozhu suddenly became clever.

Xu Changqing's words seemed to reveal a bit of shocking news.

He actually wanted to save the people who were plundered by the Qing army, this, this is to go out of the city to fight, this ......

Zhang Baozhu's life is not only a pinnacle that is difficult for future generations to reach, but also an unspeakable human tragedy......

At her age, in her nearly forty years of life, she has just experienced the whole process from the decline of the Ming Dynasty to the collapse.

First under her husband, Emperor Tianqi, and then her brother-in-law, Emperor Chongzhen.

When she was in the palace before, what she was most afraid of was the sound of the door in the middle of the night.

Because at such times, there is often news that is difficult to accept, coming from all directions.

From the loss of Guangning that year, to the later changes of the Daling River, the Battle of Julu, the Battle of Songjin, including the later destruction of the Jingshi......

This is simply a heart-rending and heartbreaking history of blood and tears.

But at this time, Xu Changqing actually wanted to go out of the city to fight with the Tartars......

"Master Hou, you, this ......"

Zhang Baozhu wanted to say something to Xu Changqing and persuade Xu Changqing, but Xu Changqing interrupted with a smile: "Madam, it's really just a small request, can you promise me?" ”

Zhang Baozhu was speechless, let out a long sigh, and could only nod.

She came over a little at this time, Xu Changqing came over this time, and it was like saying goodbye to her......

is already like this, how can she not agree to Xu Changqing?

Xu Changqing suddenly laughed: "Madam, then thank you very much, retire from your post." ”

Seeing Xu Changqing laughing and leaving decisively, Zhang Baozhu leaned against the wall a little tiredly, only to feel that his whole life had fallen into darkness.

Even a character like Xu Changqing has to be like this at this time, you can imagine how far the situation has collapsed.

However, after staring at the soldiers marching outside for a while, and then at Xu Changqing, who had already left the tower and walked quickly to the middle courtyard, she suddenly became smart.

She somewhat understood what Xu Changqing was going to do!
