At this time, they suddenly found that the army was rotten and unusable, and there was no money in the treasury. However, fortunately, the Jinyi guards had just passed on the experience of defending the city of Jinzhou, so they hurriedly wanted to mobilize the gentry of the whole city and the countryside to donate money and materials, and mobilize the people to defend the city.

But what I didn't expect was that few squires were willing to pay, for one reason, this is your government's business, why do you want them to pay? Also, isn't there the richest man in the city, why don't you go to him and ask for money?

As a result, the Jinju Defending City Experience Manual played a role again, and the people in the yamen advised the gentry of the whole city and countryside according to the content written on it: "If you don't contribute money and effort at this time, if the city is broken, how much property will be lost." Only by giving up a little wealth can you keep a big fortune! ”

This has been explained very clearly, and they think that this should be no problem.

But most of the squires remained indifferent, and their reply was: You are right, when the city is broken, there will be nothing, so hurry up and find the richest man in the city, he is the big one. If he doesn't give it and is not afraid of death, then what are we afraid of?

In fact, speaking of which, they think that if there is a vassal king in the city, the vassal king must be the most afraid of the city being breached, and you officials must also be afraid! I usually make a lot of money, but now I want everyone to share it when I have something, and I want to be beautiful!

Anyway, the vassal king and your life are more expensive, if you refuse to pay, then why should they care!

Speaking of which, they felt that the people in the government were intimidating them, Jinan City was a big city, and there was still a vassal king in it, how could it be captured! Therefore, they are all fearless and resolutely refuse to give money. Or if you really have to do it, donate a few copper coins.

At this moment, the people in the government are a little stupid, why don't they follow this script, and they refuse to give money when they die? They had no choice but to go to the vassal king, that is, King De, who was sealed in Jinan, and wanted him to donate more money.

However, what they didn't expect was that King De would not give money either. His reason is that he is a vassal king and does not participate in the affairs of the government, which is an ancestral precept passed down from the ancestors. Defend the city, settle it yourself!

At this moment, the people in the Jinan government were dumbfounded. Why are these people dying to the point of death, and they still hold on to the money and refuse to take out a little!

The squires, kings and others in the city may not know, but these people in the government themselves know. In normal times, I think about making money, but I care about the improvement of the army and city defense, and I can't defend the entire Jinan City at all by relying on a little manpower and material resources from the current government.

Although Jinzhou is also like this, but the people of the whole city have mobilized, so they can hold it, and now don't look at the city wall of Jinan City is taller than Jinzhou, but this is a silver gun candle head, which is useless!

They sighed very angrily: This year's Jinan people can't do it!

However, there is one thing, they actually didn't expect that the reason why they couldn't do it was that in addition to their inability to quickly make the people of the city realize the seriousness of the problem, there were also Fan Yongdou and other Jin merchants who were behind their backs, provoking this mentality of not wanting to pay.

Of course, if the Jinan government was given time, they would eventually be able to convince the people of the city to work together to defend the city. After all, if the city is really broken, it's not a joke.

But how could the Manchus give them time. Or, the Jin merchants had been planning for a long time, so how could they give them time.

Therefore, that night, in the chaotic city defense, the people of the Jin merchants united with the Manchu elite outside the city, and the inside and outside should be united, and the city gate was opened.

Under the dark night sky, Dolgon rode on his horse, saw the city gate open, his army lit torches, and rushed into the city gate, watching the fire in the city, listening to the screaming and wailing sound, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at the Jin merchant Fan Yongdou beside him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Fan has made a great contribution!" After taking this Jinan Mansion, many things will be solved! ”

The capital city of Jinan is a large city with a large population and countless wealth. Just plundering such a city is worth several cities like Jinju. Even if you call it a day at this time, if you turn around and go outside the customs, you will gain a lot.

And after taking the vassal king, according to what Fan Yongdou said, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom will definitely be furious and will definitely kill a group of people. How can others not know that Lu Xiangsheng, who is fully responsible for the war, must be beheaded by their emperor!

Thinking of this, looking back at Lu Xiangsheng's depressed mood before, Dolgon couldn't help laughing, the mood at this time was extremely happy!

Without Lu Xiangsheng, if the heads of a large number of officials are chopped off, the Ming Kingdom will be even more chaotic, not only the civil chaos, but also the officialdom, all of them are chaotic, it's messy!

When he thought proudly, Fan Yongdou was also very happy, hugged his fist and said with a smile: "Your Highness, Wishing you prosperity!" ”

Dolgon was stunned when he heard this, then came back to his senses, laughed again, and also learned from Fan Yongdou's appearance, and said to Fan Yongdou with a smile: "The same, the same, Wishing you prosperity!" Haha, Wishing you prosperity! ”

This night, Jinan City is destined to be a tragic night. Under the fire, I don't know how many families have been ruined and their wives have been separated!

At the same time, in Lu Xiangsheng's army, the news that Emperor Chongzhen sent in an expedited manner of 800 li had also arrived.

"What?" Lu Xiangsheng stood up in shock, and his eyes widened in confirmation, "The Manchu army rushed south and attacked Jinan Mansion?" ”

"Yes, what Your Majesty said, nine times out of ten, yes." The messenger nodded and replied, "And there is an internal response to help the Manchu Tartars, and there is a high probability that Jinan Mansion will not be able to hold it!" ”

This news, don't say that Lu Xiangsheng was shocked, and everyone else was stunned.

Jinan Mansion, there is a vassal king, if the vassal king falls into the hands of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this is the first time! Also, is there really an internal response? Who the hell could this be?

After Lu Xiangsheng came back to his senses, he immediately unfolded the military map and looked at it nervously. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he immediately ordered the drumming to be gathered.

His orders were strict, the three-way drum had not yet been completed, and all the generals present had been assembled.

After Lu Xiangsheng briefly explained the situation, he announced with a firm expression: "All the cavalry troops will immediately go south to the Dezhou capital and harass the Manchu army on the way back. But if there is a seizure, it will all belong to the armies. ”

At this moment, he couldn't care less. It is better to use money to stimulate the armies than to let the Manchus take them out of the customs.

Then, he immediately sent people to send orders everywhere, ordering the localities to send troops, no matter how many, to send troops, and the Qinwang army from all over the country, be sure to speed up, in short, to create a momentum of thousands of troops coming to the rescue.

Of course, he did not forget to report the situation to Emperor Chongzhen and ask for help, since the Manchu army was divided, it was best to break through each one.

The whole of Hebei, with this incident, was in chaos.
