Chapter 100: Yancheng turned defeat into victory
It was busy until midnight before the Han army all left the city. In the city, Qiao Dudu and his men were left to walk around alone: the salt treasury was reduced by half, and the six million taels of merchants in the silver treasury were all emptied; There is not a single artillery and the four general cannons left at the head of the city, and there are not even weapons and armor left. In order to prevent the Han army from coming to arrest them, the Ming army wisely threw away the equipment, and when they went home, they put on rotten old clothes and became honest citizens.
"Good! It's all gone~ The Han army really talks about the rules! The merchant sighed in the room, if other soldiers entered the city, he was afraid that his family property and women would have to be handed over! Whoever called him a lot of silver, and a lot of women!
The Han army left, and the commanders of the Ming army also began to rush around to make contact.
Qiao Dudu has no time to pay attention to these martial artists who can only brag and flee for their lives, how to deal with this matter when it is urgent!
The next morning he woke up early and summoned all the housekeepers and the president to take the proceedings.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a deficit of at least 20 million taels in Yancheng, plus weapons, firearms and other equipment, it is also several million taels. Who is responsible for this shortfall? ”
Qiao Dudu glared at this group of garbage, if they hadn't fled for their lives and didn't resist, how could Yancheng be destroyed so easily.
Finally, someone was unconvinced and said: "The governor should be mainly responsible for the seven commanders by the canal, and it was their inability to hold on to the defeat of the whole city." ”
There were seven thousand generals guarding the canal, and three thousand generals died in the first battle last night.
Mr. Qian on the low wall immediately shouted in disbelief: "You are powerful when you step on a horse, the Han army rushed out from the bottom of the water, and rushed to the low city wall in a few breaths." ”
"Damn you, you guys are amazing, you know how many deaths have died on our side, and there are at least four thousand casualties between dozens of breaths."
"It is said that the Han army is invincible in the world, you have the ability to go to the Han army to fight hard, it is absolutely impossible for us to take the blame."
A few thousand presidents by the canal shouted, and it was absolutely impossible to keep them in charge.
Qiao Dudu also shook his head, the Seven Commanders of the Canal represented at least seven families. Unless the Chamber of Commerce wants to fight, it is absolutely impossible to push everything to them.
"Alright, stop."
After the commanders sat down, Qiao Dudu said: "We all know that the Han army is invincible in the world, and it is not surprising that we can't hold it. But if we let outsiders know that our Yancheng was easily broken, what will the people of the world think of our Yancheng. By the way, do you know how many casualties the Han army has? ”
The commanders smiled bitterly and shook their heads, how did they know.
Seeing that everyone had nothing to say, a Qian general finally sighed and said: "I know, listen to those fat horsemen say: this damn artillery fire has injured hundreds of people, and seventy-six people have died in attacking this low city?" ”
What, seventy-six died! Everyone didn't believe it, and glared angrily at Mr. Qian, who spoke.
Mr. Qian was also angry: "I thought I was lying to you, I fought with a few Han soldiers last night for dozens of moves, and finally I was outnumbered and fell off the city wall and fainted." When I woke up, I heard them talk about it with my own eyes, and I was almost caught by dozens of Han soldiers and cavalry. Fortunately, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and my body is also boiling~~" The more Mr. Qian said, the more refreshing he became, as if he was the most powerful boy last night.
"Haha~ Get out, you just blow."
"Bastard, it is estimated that you will pretend to be dead as soon as you see the Han army, otherwise you would have died a long time ago."
Qiao Dudu's face darkened and scolded: "Okay, it's not shameful enough." If you can fight a few Han soldiers with dozens of moves, the governor of Pontus will go out of the city and take you to try it in a while. ”
Mr. Qian, who pretended to be dead and bragged, immediately lowered his head in a panic and pretended not to hear.
"Haha, I don't dare to say it! When he saw the Han army, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. ”
"Yes, if it weren't for a bad breed like him, how could Yancheng be lost."
The more everyone talked, the more powerful it became, as if everything was to blame for a certain Qian Zong who pretended to be dead.
Touch~ Mr. Qian, who pretended to be dead, jumped up angrily: "Xiao Wang Ba went out with the master for two moves, let's see if you beat me ten." ”
"Go back, and the governor of Pontus will go out of the city and invite the Han army to fight you again, and see if you are really that powerful." At this time, he was still bragging, and Qiao Dacai finally knew why he failed! Leading this group of pigs to lead, Han Xin will also be angry with them.
The commanders often quarrel, and everyone is used to it, but now they still have to give Qiao Dudu some face.
"Okay, listen to me. After a while, each of them will write a battle report and send it back to your master, and you will listen to my report to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce. ”
Qiao Dacai smiled proudly and continued: "Gentlemen, Settle on: The Han army of 100,000 men and horses attacked the city day and night, so that our defenders couldn't sleep at night. After killing and wounding tens of thousands of Han troops, our troops finally lost their ground. In the end, it was only after the fierce negotiation with the king of Annan that the Han army was evacuated from Yancheng, and most of the soldiers in Yancheng were safe and sound! Defeat is not the fault of the commanders, but the time when the manpower is exhausted! The generals and soldiers can kill and injure tens of thousands of Han troops with thousands of people, and they should not be guilty but meritorious. All the sins should be borne by the governor, but the bravery of the commanders should be rewarded. In the end, Qiao Dudu was touched by himself.
The commanders were dumbfounded: as soon as they heard that Qiao Dudu persuaded the Han army to retreat by his tongue, they wanted to vomit. However, when it comes to killing tens of thousands of wounds and being defeated due to fatigue, this is their true portrayal.
"Well, the governor understands the righteousness and admires him."
"That's right, what the governor said is reasonable, and it is not in vain that the soldiers shed blood to fight."
Turning defeat into victory, there is nothing more brilliant in life than this! I am most afraid of loneliness like snow in my life, and Qiao Renliang is not afraid of opponents, but he is afraid of no opponents. His brilliant pen is full of flowers, and a defeat table arouses the fighting spirit of Yancheng. All the people agreed, and the stewards did not dare to oppose it.
In fact, even if the heads of the families knew the truth, they would not dare to announce it, but would hide it for Yancheng. If the news of such a weak chicken in the Yancheng army spreads, not to mention the rebel pirates, the major warlords will not let go of the fat of Yancheng. This is also the basis for Qiao Dudu's reversal of defeat into victory, and he did so, so that the heads of the family will not blame but should be praised.
After unifying his thoughts, Qiao Dudu also immediately left the city. In the face of the magical monster of the Han army, Qiao Ting will only get close to him in the future, and will never dare to think about it again. In case the Han army really swallows thousands of miles in the end, their Qiao family will also have a way out.
Chen Xionggang had just exerted the power of life on the grain, and when he returned to the barracks, he happened to meet Qiao Dacai.
"Haha, Qiao Dudu is a guest again, just in time to enter the camp to warm up." Although they were enemies, Chen Xiong didn't hate them much. After all, in his eyes, the Ming army is all garbage, and most of the Ming talents are pig teammates. In the face of vulnerable groups, how can he, who is kind and loving, bully them!
"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Qiao Renliang no longer has that arrogance, although Chen Xiong has no literary talent, his strength has been very recognized by Qiao Dacai. The main thing is that as long as you don't give a face, King Annam is also very easy to contact.
Cooking wine and talking about heroes, the two are hotly discussing today's current affairs, and they are familiar with a lot of hot conversations.
"Renliang, you said that this court is so poor, why are you Jiangnan people still so dead." One of the reasons for the defeat of the Ming Dynasty was the financial collapse.
This! When asked this, Qiao Renliang didn't know whether to say it or not. But when he thinks of the current situation, he doesn't have to hide it anymore!
"Brother Cangneng, even if we have more silver, it will not be enough to fill the stomachs of the Jingshi Monarchs. There are also nine-sided military families, they are not rich flowing oil. And more importantly! ”
Ay! Speaking of this, Qiao Dudu couldn't help but sigh!
Chen Xiong also knows the situation of the confrontation between the north and the south, which is indispensable in any era! The families of the north and south and the families of the military families of the nine sides compete for power and profit with each other, which is not so harmonious on the surface. Once the political struggle fails, the family will be ruined, the grass will be eradicated, and the kindness will become a passerby as soon as you enter the official sea!
