The same soldiers came to the city, this time the Ming army did not give up Yangzhou, and even went out of the city to annihilate the invading enemy, so that the people in the city were grateful. When he returned to the city, almost 10,000 people came to welcome the army back to the city in victory.

The last time Shi Kefa squatted in the city, he was so frightened by the Qing soldiers that he forgot how to resist, which directly led to the slaughter of 300,000 people in Yangzhou. The surviving people in Yangzhou have long been frightened birds, and less than a year has passed since the massacre, and some of the survivors have not yet healed from their wounds.

When Li led the troops to come, the whole Yangzhou was in a huge panic. Fear is like a lingering haze, permeating the sky over Yangzhou.

Fortunately, in today's war, the concept of the invincibility of the Qing soldiers was completely broken.

There is no trickery, no trickery, it relies on fighting and fighting on the battlefield, and the invincible Li Shutai is killed in front of the battle.

In the cheers of the crowd, Hou Xuanyan was very unhappy in his heart, it was his duty to defend the land and defend the enemy, and it became a rare and valuable thing at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Since Wu Sangui's switch, except for the Dashun army, which has resisted for a while, it has almost been to look at the wind and surrender, or even to hear the wind. The construction of slaves outside the customs is even smoother than the southern invasion of Meng Yuan, which shows that the national situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty is really rotten to the bones. If you can't remove the bones and change the marrow, I'm afraid the end will not change much.

Scenery: Huainan First State, Pearl City on the Yangtze River. Looking at the flowers, you can vaguely see the wealth and prosperity of Huaizuo Mingdu and Zhuxi Jiadi in the old days, and the people on the street cheered all the way to the yamen.

Hou Xuanyan jumped off his horse and walked into the yamen, where his own soldiers had already returned in advance and ordered a fire to be lit and cooked.

During the war, everything was simple, Hou Xuanyan and Li Haoxian, as well as a few generals, surrounded a large cauldron, which was boiled cabbage and meat slices, fragrant. The generals who fought for a day were not polite, and devoured them.

Hou Xuanyan said while pulling the rice: "Yangzhou is the first city of our Northern Expedition across the Yangtze River, radiating several military towns in Jiangbei, I see that the Agni Battalion will stay in Jiangbei and don't go back." ”

Li Haoxian untied the wine bag in his waist, poured a sip, handed it to Hou Xuanyan and asked, "Then where are we stationed?" ”

Hou Xuanyan smelled the aroma of wine, thinking that there were still many things today, so he forcibly put down the wine bag and said: "You go to Taizhou, I will go to Songjiang in a few days, and I will send a new batch of firearms imitated by our arsenal to your camp to try the firepower." If the effect is okay, it will be mass-produced and promoted. Firearms are still somewhat useful, and when we start a battle, we can shoot the enemy from a distance, which can reduce our casualties. ”

Li Haoxian had already printed the map of Yangzhou in his mind, and after hearing it, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said after thinking for a while: "The Houtu camp is far away in Luzhou, and the Fengzi camp is still in Huguang, if we both are in Jiangbei, do you want the commander?"

Hou Xuanyan glanced at him, tilted his head and scolded: "Lao Tzu took two people and a dog back then, what a hero he was in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Now that Jiangsu and Zhejiang are under control, do you want to leave 100,000 people around to protect it? I am a delicate daughter, and there is no reason to raise 100,000 bodyguards. You don't talk nonsense, keep Yangzhou for me, and Zhu Dadian will respond to each other. Yangzhou is extremely deep in the east and west, and Yingtianfu, Suzhou, Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Songjiang six important places across the river. If you hold Yangzhou, we will be safe and sound. ”

Li Haoxian is brave and invincible, but his mind is not meticulous enough, and sometimes it is inevitable that there will be some omissions. Fortunately, he is never taboo, he knows his shortcomings, and he likes to find some smart people around him to give advice. In the past, Zhang Huangyan was his deputy chief soldier, and they complemented each other, but now Zhang Huangyan has gone to the court to be the secretary of the military department, and he has found a few more and stayed by his side.

Zheng Hanqing, who was eating fragrant on the side, was one of them, and after listening to Hou Xuanyan's words, his face was a little worried.

"Commander, as the saying goes, you can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. Although the commander is a hero, he must also beware of villains and must not be careless. "These things are very sensitive, after all, the south bank state capital is now the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and Zheng Hanqing has a lot of concerns. He could only click on it, and he knew that Hou Xuanyan would definitely understand.

Hou Xuanyan glanced up at him with some surprise, Li Haoxian is protective of his shortcomings, although he is in a high position, he is still a big brother. Hurriedly said: "Commander, this is my favorite general, he is young and speaks without hindrance, you don't want to be like him." ”

Hou Xuanyan smiled: "Who are you and me, can't you even listen to some opinions?" He pointed and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"The last general, Zheng Hanqing."

Hou Xuanyan nodded and said, "The hall is full of your own people, if you have anything to say, just let it go." ”

When Li Haoxian heard this, he quickly patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's right, just say it." ”

Zheng Hanqing also put down the dishes and chopsticks, pondered for a moment and said: "Since Your Majesty arrived in Jinling, he has recruited a group of Jiangnan ministers to gather around him. Although this is a normal thing, these people are all former ministers of Chongzhen and Hongguang, and they can be said to be experts in infighting after looking at what they did before. For the sake of power, these people do everything, all kinds of tricks are used, the commander must not have hope for their bottom line, these people have no bottom line. ”

Hou Xuanyan silently praised in his heart, this person saw it very clearly, and nodded his chopsticks to signal him to continue.

Seeing that he didn't blame himself, Zheng Hanqing gradually grew bolder, and continued: "No matter what the reason, it is a fait accompli that we are now darker in Jiangnan, and in this place of Jiangnan, more than half of the power is in the hands of the governor. Just this point is enough to make those people hate the commander to the bone, Jinling and Suzhou are not far apart, if someone wants to kill the commander in a hurry, the consequences are unimaginable. I don't know how many good generals there are, but they are folded in the hands of these pickled villains. ”

Hou Xuanyan said in his heart, I have a latent elephant camp, and I know them well. It is not easy for this general to be able to see the seven, seven, eight, eight or eight by himself. He deliberately asked, "What do you think I should do?" ”

Zheng Hanqing's face turned red, and he stopped talking. He turned his head to look at Li Haoxian, who gave him an encouraging look, Zheng Hanqing was agitated, and he was about to blurt out those shocking thoughts on weekdays.

Hou Xuanyan hurriedly stopped: "Okay, I know what you mean, one thing you have to know, I am not Xiong Tingbi, let alone Lu Xiangsheng." Speaking of harming people, even if the rats in the gutter try their best, they will not move the majestic mountains and rivers. Suzhou and Hangzhou are in my control, no one can harm me in Jiangnan, you can just hold Yangzhou. ”

After speaking, Hou Xuanyan got up and said, "Lao Li, this kid is good, cultivate it well." ”
