When Gao Yihuan heard that Li Hu was back, he knew that he must have brought back the news of Nanjing.

Wei Wujun did such a big thing in Huguang, Gao Yihuan actually felt a little weak in his heart, and he was afraid that it would not end well.

From a rational point of view, if the Nanjing court is mature enough, it will definitely compromise with him, but everything is afraid of what happens, and he actually doesn't have much confidence in Nanjing.

In history, the Nanjing Imperial Court made frequent tricks, and they could play themselves to death, showing all kinds of stupidity, Gao Yihuan was afraid that they wouldn't be able to think about it this time.

"Oh, where are the people?" Gao Yihuan sat upright.

Gao Chengxun said: "I just entered the camp. ”

Gao Yihuan hurriedly said: "Let him come to see me quickly." ”

Not long after, the dusty Li Hu walked into the big tent and saluted his uncle: "Meet the handsome!" ”

Gao Yihuan asked: "Get up and tell me about the situation in Nanjing!" ”

The generals in the tent all looked at Li Hu in unison, and they were all very interested in Nanjing's reaction.

The more intense Nanjing's reaction is, the more it proves our strength from the side, and the darker and more refreshed our hearts become.

Li Hu said: "Dashuai, there have been a lot of things in Nanjing recently. First of all, Qian Qianyi and his gang framed us for making the first move, so that the court convicted the marshal and dismissed He Tengjiao, but fortunately, the things sent by the marshal were timely, and the Donglin Party moved a stone to hit himself in the foot, and Qian Qianyi fainted directly in fright in the court, which became a big joke. Now Nanjing is busy fighting for power and profit, and recently received a report of beating Yinxi, only to know that the marshal entered Hunan. He Tengjiao asked me to come back first, so that the marshal should not be impulsive, he would ask the marshal for an explanation from the imperial court. When I set out from Nanjing, Nanjing had already sent a messenger to Huguang to escort Zheng Hongkui's Jiang waterproof division. ”

Gao Yihuan listened to Li Hu's words, and was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Donglin to be moved down.

It seems that Zhu Cihong still has some ability, at least stronger than Emperor Hongguang.

The Hongguang Imperial Court was finished in just over a year, and now it is February 1646, and the small imperial court of Jianzhang has been strong for two years.

Of course, there is naturally a credit for this.

Gao Yihuan bowed his head slightly and asked, "Zheng Hongkui is from the Zheng family in Fujian!" ”

Li Hu was stunned for a moment and thought about it carefully, "It seems to be from Fujian, and it is said to be Zheng Zhilong's brother." ”

Gao Yihuan said in his heart Sure enough, at this point, all the forces in the late Ming Dynasty, whether Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, or the Zheng family, will come to him to show their faces.

The Zheng family is the overlord of the entire East China Sea and the South China Sea, and even the Dutch, who are in the limelight, dare not offend the Zheng family.

It is said that according to the rules of the Zheng family, each ship trading at sea must pay the Zheng family a protection fee of 3,000 taels every year. According to the records of the Dutch East India Company, the Zheng family only collected 10 million taels a year for the shipping fee.

In addition, the Zheng family also had five elements and five merchants, conducting their own trade, their trade volume in Japan was eleven times that of the Dutch East India Company, plus the trade in Korea, Luzon, and Nanyang, and the rental of Fujian land, the Zheng family's annual income was close to 30 million taels.

At this time, the Dutch East India Company, which was in the limelight, had a profit of only 10 million taels in the world, and the Zheng family's power at sea was obvious.

The finances of the Ming Dynasty, as well as Gao Yihuan's finances, are compared with the Zheng family, which is simply poor.

If he has the opportunity to meet Zheng Zhilong, Gao Yihuan has the urge to worship a godfather.

Since it is Zheng Zhilong's brother, the strength of the Jiang waterproof division is definitely not weak, Gao Yihuan raised his vigilance, "How many ships are there in the sailor escorting Qincha, is it a gunboat?" ”

Li Hu said: "There are more than 20 of them, ten of which are gunboats, and five or six cannons are placed on the side!" ”

Gao Yihuan groaned for a while, it seems that Nanjing is worried that he will take Wuchang, and he is a little biased towards Zuozhen.

"Cheng Xun, you immediately cross the river to see Jin Shenghuan and ask him to step up the construction of the fort. Before the arrival of the Jiang waterproof division, be sure to load the cannon! Gao Yihuan suddenly commanded.

"Humble command!" Gao Chengxun clenched his fists and bowed out of the big tent.

The Jiang waterproof division went up the river at a slower speed, but once they sailed to Wuchang and the warship went up the river, Gao Yihuan's plan to threaten the imperial court with the capture of Wuchang and force Nanjing to give more benefits would be affected.

Therefore, he asked Jin Shenghuan to quickly set up the cannon, and only by blocking the Jiang waterproof division in the east of Wuchang and controlling the choke channel can he take the initiative in the negotiations.

Gao Chengxun opened the curtain and went out, Gao Yihuan immediately glanced at the generals, and said: "Since Nanjing's Qincha is coming, we can't beat Yuezhou, our faces will be dull, and we won't be able to speak hard." ”

When the generals in the tent heard him say this, they all knew that the commander was going to move seriously.

"Commander, give the order!" Zhao Daxian stood up and clenched his fists arrogantly.

Gao Yihuan said: "Herald artillery team!" Don't stop, bombard the city overnight! Then let people shoot a letter to Ben Shuai to recruit a letter of surrender into the city, and mess up the morale of the defenders. In the end, it's up to you. Anyway, tomorrow Ben Shuai must enter the city! ”

Zhao Daxian, Wang Deren and other generals immediately clasped their fists, all with excitement on their faces.

The bunch of birds in Zuo Town, like a girl, fighting like a flirtation, tomorrow I will see the heroes of Wei Wujun appear, let the turtles and grandchildren see how Wei Wujun's grandfathers fight.

After Gao Yihuan gave the order, he immediately waved his hand and asked all the generals to prepare.

Nearly 10,000 prisoners of the Left Army attacked day after day, and the artillery kept bombarding, and the defenders in Yuezhou City were already quite tired, and Gao Yihuan did not doubt the capture of Yuezhou.

He wrote a letter and asked dozens of copies to be copied and shot into the city, and began to think about what conditions to propose to the Ming Dynasty.

It is said that Zhu Cihong once issued an order to let the Nanjing court take out a sum of silver to treat himself, but as a result, the military department let the household department out, and the household department let the military department give, Gao Yihuan has not seen half of the son so far.

With the embarrassing situation of the Nanjing Imperial Court, it is not easy to get money and grain from Nanjing!

Gao Yihuan had to think of some new methods.

When Gao Yihuan was thinking, the "booming" cannon sound rang out one after another.

The artillery on the Gao army's position outside the city kept roaring, and one after another shells smashed into the city wall, and every time the cannon passed, it smashed a depression, and the masonry was smashed in an instant.

After a few shots, the already smashed city wall was full of holes, and broken bricks and dust fell from the city wall.

After many days of bombardment, the city bricks have peeled off, and the rammed earth inside the wall bricks has been exposed, and the city wall may collapse at any time.

The shelling lasted much longer than before, and there was no sign of stopping when it was dark.

This let the defenders of the city know that the real attack was about to begin.

Wu Jinxi was a little uneasy, checked the city wall, and ordered Lu Ding, Ma Jiaolin, and Gao Yiqi to guard the city, and then went down to the city with anxiety.

The artillery bombarded intermittently all night, and in the middle of the night a section of the city wall suddenly collapsed, and the defenders hurriedly organized their men to build a section of the breastwork wall with sandbags on the collapsed place.

In the early morning, Gao Yiyan came out of the city tower with a pair of red eyes, but a hundred households hurriedly greeted him, "Thousand households, the enemy army has another letter into the city." ”

After speaking, he took out a letter and presented it to Gao Yiyi.

Gao Yiyan had a layer of frost on his face, pulled it over, and unfolded it to look at it. Yang Wenyue values him very much, let people teach him to read, and he himself works very hard, and it is not a problem to read and write.

This time it was still a letter of persuasion, but the previous one was a letter to the entire Yuezhou garrison, but this one was aimed at him, Gao Yihuan first reviewed the revolutionary friendship between the two, and then said that his aunt had him to take care of, so that he could go back to visit as soon as possible, and finally proposed to let him open the city, so as not to let Yuezhou live in misery.

Gao Yiyan's eyes narrowed after reading it, but he immediately tore the letter to shreds, "This is the enemy army messing with our army's heart, and I swear to defend Yuezhou City to the death." ”

Yang Wenyue once said to Gao Yiyi that the reason why the world has become like this is that there are too many restless heroes and too few loyal people like Han Yue.

Gao Yiyan thinks it makes sense, the reason why the world is so chaotic is that there are too many people like Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, and now Gao Yihuan is also this kind of person, it is they who make waves to make the people miserable, if there are more loyal ministers like Yang Gong in the world, then the world will not be peaceful?

Gao Yiqi wants to be a loyal minister and a hero of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Ma Jiaolin, the general of Yuezhou, happened to go to the city, and when he saw Gao Yiqi tearing up a letter, he couldn't help asking: "Gao Qianhu, what is this?" ”

Gao Yiqian didn't want people to know, or mention his relationship with Gao Yihuan, so he just said lightly: "The letter shot from outside the city was torn up by the general." ”

At this moment, a horn sounded outside the city, and the soldiers of Wei Wujun began to line up in the camp.

As soon as Gao Yiqian arched his hand, he hurriedly walked to the wall to check, Ma Jiaolin looked at his back, his face was cloudy.
