6. Elder Scott

Lin Yu lowered his head and quietly checked the palm screen, only to see that the number of gold coins in his warehouse had increased rapidly, increasing by more than a thousand in an instant, and the number was still growing.

Lin Yu was overjoyed, it seemed that the Ming army on the city wall and the people who assisted in defending the city were grateful to him, or admired, in short, as long as he had emotions towards himself, there would be gold coins in his account.

"War can really make some people rich, no wonder the United States took advantage of World War I and World War II to make a windfall and become a world hegemon. Now is a great time to make a lot of money, and you have to make a lot of money! ”

Lin Yu commanded the Ming army on the city wall: "You shouted at the Qing army in unison, just say that the person who shelled the slave builder was Lin Zhenjiang of Jinan Prefecture!" ”

The Ming army didn't know what Lin Yu's intention was in doing this, but at this moment, he had almost worshiped him like a god, and they all shouted in unison according to the order: "Jiannu listen, the one who bombarded the other army is my deputy garrison of Yangzhou in the Ming Dynasty, and Lin Yulin Zhenjiang of Jinan Mansion is also!" ”

Lin Yu looked down at the data in his palm again, and saw that the number of gold coins in the warehouse simply increased in the form of an explosion:

1478——2597——3862——5149——7266……

However, in just a few minutes, the number of gold coins in Lin Yu's warehouse had exceeded 10,000, and it was still growing, and it didn't seem to be slowing down at all.

Lin Yu's heart almost smiled, it seemed that as long as he found the right way, it would not be as difficult as he imagined to obtain gold coins.

There are still more than 100,000 Qing troops besieging outside the city, even if there are Merkava tanks to help the battle, it is not time to die down and celebrate the victory, Lin Yu decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and drove the tank out of the city directly into the Qing army.

"Open the city gate for me, I will go out of the city to destroy the enemy!"

With a wave of his hand, Lin Yu immediately got into the cockpit and drove the iron-armored lion to roll forward.

Although the ironclad beast controlled by Lin Yu showed great might, the Qing army outside the city was besieged, and Lin Yu's leaving the city alone was tantamount to a tiger entering the wolves.

No matter how fierce the tiger is, in the face of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of wild wolves, it is difficult to scream alone, which makes Stilwell, the general guarding the East City Gate, hesitate.

"Cousin-in-law, there are too many Qing troops outside the city, and it is too dangerous to go out of the city. You'd better drive the ironclad cart to the city wall to defend the city, right? Steven, with his saber hanging from his waist, stood on the wall and shouted at the top of his voice.

Shi Kefa had no son, and when he saw that the Qing army was pressing, he accepted Shi Dewei with the same surname as his righteous son and asked him to pass on the lineage for himself, so Shi Dewei called Lin Yu "cousin-in-law".

Lin Yu couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this, did you let me drive the Transformers I drove to the city wall? If you accidentally overturn the car, you will become a "king eight" who can't turn over after being hung on the shore!

Lin Yu didn't bother to explain to Stilwell, drove the tank straight to the east city gate, and if the Ming army didn't open the city gate, he would directly crash into it.

Liu Zhaoji, Zhuang Zigu, Chen Yujie and others, who were watching the battle on the north city wall, were all pleasantly surprised when they learned that the person driving the ironclad beast was Lin Yu, although they were full of doubts in their hearts, they didn't have time to think about it.

Observing with a telescope that Lin Yu was planning to go out of the city, Liu Zhaoji asked Chen Yujie with a worried face: "It seems that Lin Gongzi seems to want to rush out of the city to fight the Qing army, what does Mr. Chen think?" ”

Chen Yujie stroked his beard and said: "I see that this ironclad car is made of iron reinforced steel plates, and its weight is probably not less than tens of thousands of catties, and it is estimated that it is difficult for the Qing army artillery to hurt it." Let Lin Gongzi go out of the city to try, maybe he can win by surprise. ”

Liu Zhaoji listened to Chen Yujie's suggestion and no longer hesitated, and immediately waved his hand and ordered: "Open the city gate, let Lin Gongzi drive the ironclad car to fight the Qing army in the field, and all artillery will support at any time!" ”

Just when the cannon rumbled on the city wall, the officials of the Ming Dynasty in the Governor's Mansion were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and they all sat still.

Only the scholars of the Daming Rite Department, the scholars of the Jianji Palace, and the governor of Yangzhou, Shi Kefa, sat on the Taishi's chair like a sculpture and stood still, as if the war outside the city had nothing to do with him.

Shi Kefa is forty-four years old this year, he was born with a dignified appearance and extraordinary bearing, and he has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and he is not shocked by the pampering and humiliation that he has already exercised. What's more, he has the determination to live and die with Yangzhou in his heart, and his face naturally does not show fear at this moment.

"Report ...... Report to the superintendent that the Qing army has fired at the Yangzhou city wall, and Liu Zhaoji's general army is leading his troops to defend it! ”

"Report ...... The red-coated artillery of the Qing army arrived on the battlefield and was bombarding the positions of our army, and the northern city wall was in danger! ”

"Report ...... The artillery fire of the Qing army was fierce, Ma Yingkui, the deputy commander-in-chief, was wounded, and Ding Fenwu was martyred in the guerrilla! ”

The scouts generally transmitted the battle situation to the Governor's Mansion, which made the already depressing atmosphere of the council hall even more tense, and the faces of the staff showed grim and even frightened expressions, and the counselor Zhao Aigeng went out of the door under the pretext of going to the toilet half an hour ago and never came back.

"Zhao Aigeng, who was raised by a son of a bitch, was frightened a few days ago, and at this moment, he either went out of the city to join the enemy or fled for his life, so he went to arrest him back!"

He Gang, the commander of the guards, looked angry, and bowed to Shi Kefa, who was sitting in the center, and was about to lead the guards out to get people.

"That's it, it's ......"

Shi Kefa stretched out his hand to stop the angry He Gang, and said expressionlessly: "The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the board knows the loyal ministers!" Ants still have the heart to be greedy, let alone humans? Duoduo has been waiting for the arrival of the red-clothed cannon, and Yangzhou City is afraid that it will not be able to hold it...... Whoever wants to go, go, don't stop! ”

"Alas!"

He Gang stomped his feet and sighed, "Old Shi Ge, don't worry, I am willing to live and die with you!" ”

A twenty-six or seventeen-year-old man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a handsome appearance, wearing a straight coat and a black soft-footed hood on his head, looked contradictory, and stopped talking, "Inspector ......"

Speaking of this person's identity, he is the son of the former Hubu Shangshu Hou Sui, named Hou Fangyu, and the name is Chaozong.

Hou Sui in the Chongzhen years successively served as HN Dao Yushi, the right servant of the Ministry of War, the head of the household department and other positions, the official position has achieved the second grade, can be regarded as a prominent position, Shi Kefa, Zuo Liangyu and others have been promoted by him.

As a descendant of the Donglin Party, Hou Fangyu is talented and writes good articles, so his reputation has risen in recent years, and he is known as the "Four Sons of Jiangnan" with Mao Xiang, Chen Zhenhui, and Fang Yizhi. And the four of them are also the leaders of the Restoration Society.

Founded in the second year of Chongzhen, the Fushe Society was originally composed of some literati who loved the country, and in addition to academic research, they often made various remarks on governing the country and widely participated in politics, which was deeply taboo by those in power.

After more than ten years of development, the current Fushe has spread all over the state capitals of Daming, and has branches in Nanjing, SD, ZJ, GD and other places, with more than 10,000 members, including many outstanding people.

After the death of Chongzhen, the blessed king Zhu Youxiang ascended the throne in Nanjing to supervise the country, and enabled Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and others, and Ruan Dacheng, who was the official worship of the military department, had a conflict with him because of Hou Fangyu's concubine, forcing Hou Fangyu to come to Yangzhou to defect to Shi Kefa.

Speaking of Hou Fangyu's concubine, she may be more famous than him in later generations, that is, Li Xiangjun, one of the "Qin Huai Bayan", and the two are also the protagonists of the opera "Peach Blossom Fan".

Shi Kefa's face was expressionless, but he seemed to be able to understand people's hearts, and he interrupted Hou Fangyu's words: "Chaozong, you came to me to take refuge, and there is no reason to leave behind to take risks. Besides, Hou Lao is kind to me, and I can't let him down, you go back immediately to pack your bags and find your own way out! ”

Hou Fangyu showed an embarrassed expression, hugged his fists and said: "Supervisor, students are definitely not greedy for life and afraid of death......

"Let's go, I'm afraid Yangzhou City can't hold it, and it's only a matter of time before the city is broken!"

Yan Ermei, a staff member standing next to him, interrupted Hou Fangyu's words, "I'm also in my early forties this year, and I won't lose if I die now, I'll stay with the superintendent to defend Yangzhou." ”

At this moment, a series of explosions suddenly sounded outside the city, which far exceeded the previous cannon sound, and the huge sound shook the eardrums of everyone present, as if several thunderbolts sounded in the sound of firecrackers.

Rao is Shi Kefa City Mansion was deep, and he couldn't help but change his complexion, and gasped: "Hiss...... The artillery fire of the Qing army was so fierce? It seems that the red-coated cannon taken from our Ming Dynasty has been improved again, and if this situation continues, not only will Yangzhou be difficult to protect, but I am afraid of ......"

Yan Ermei ordered the guards outside the door with an anxious face: "Go and investigate immediately, this fierce cannon sound is coming from the red-clothed cannon of the captive army?" ”

As soon as the guards went out, scouts came down from the city wall to report the military situation.

Before the person entered the door, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Report ...... Good news, great news! ”

Everyone in the hall was shocked, and Shi Kefa even thought that reinforcements were coming, so he arched his hand in the direction of Nanjing: "The minister knows that His Majesty will not abandon Yangzhou, and it must be the arrival of reinforcements." ”

He Gang stepped forward to stop the scouts who were a little reckless, or were carried away by joy, "Don't be rude in front of the overseer, if you have any good news, report it quickly!" ”
