The next morning, the people in Nanjing got up early to get busy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Now that the war is imminent, in order to facilitate the management of public security, Li Hongfei also had to order a curfew, so all the people went to bed early.

The good habit brought by going to bed early is naturally getting up early.

Although facing the threat of war, life has to go on, and early in the morning, dim sum shops on the street have opened one after another, and tea houses have also opened to welcome customers.

In recent days, the rebels who came to defend the city spontaneously organized from all over the country have gathered in Nanjing City one after another, and these people have spontaneously resisted the Qing Dynasty, and Li Hongfei certainly cannot refuse, but how to settle it has also become a headache for him.

It is better to arrange a large number of troops, divide a defense area, allocate some weapons and food, and arrange a few commanding generals to let them be responsible for their own management.

And those small groups of three or five have become a big problem, let them join the army, and they all want to join the Suzhou New Army, because everyone knows that the Suzhou New Army is powerful and has the highest salary.

But now that the Suzhou New Army is preparing for war, how can it have time to train recruits?

Stuffing some rivers and lakes into it recklessly, not to mention corrupting military discipline, it is easy to affect combat effectiveness, and the final result is that none of the three division commanders is willing to accept these rebels.

The generals of other armies are willing to accept it, but these rebels are not rare at all, and in order to prepare for careful work, for those rebels who cannot be screened in a short period of time, they do not dare to let them join the army.

Li Hongfei had no choice but to register these people, distribute a part of the rations, and send these small groups out in accordance with the previous method of establishing guerrilla units, and harass the Qing soldiers along the way.

As for how many Qing troops these teams attacked, Li Hongfei didn't know, but because of the arrival of these people, the business of restaurants and teahouses in the city became much more popular.........

Because many old men don't know how to cook, they can only fill their stomachs in restaurants.

This is also the main reason why Nanjing's large and small restaurants open early in the morning, some people need to eat early to go into battle to kill the enemy, and some people are out of the city yesterday after the battle, too late to rush back, stranded outside the city, waiting for the morning into the city after eating and drinking, and then go out to kill the enemy.

As for whether these people have killed the Qing army, or whether they have encountered the Qing army, only the ghost knows............

Anyway, seeing that the enthusiasm of the righteous army is high, Li Hongfei is embarrassed to discourage everyone's enthusiasm, anyway, it is good to be able to stay in Nanjing City, at least if the Qing army really surrounds Nanjing City, these people can also be cannon fodder.

"Did you hear that? Yesterday, there were knights stranded outside the city, and I heard that the southwest Yuhuatai direction was under artillery fire, presumably the new army of Suzhou, and Qinggou exchanged fire! ”

In the teahouse, several men with long knives on their backs and simple clothes chatted while eating breakfast.

"What? Qinggou has hit Yuhuatai! Someone worried.

"Don't worry, the Governor hasn't made a move yet, as long as the Governor personally leads the troops, those clear dogs will not be wiped out." Someone comforted.

"But this time, I heard that Qinggou has an army of 300,000 this time, and the governor has only 50,000 under his command, can he beat it?" Some people evaluate it more objectively.

For a while, everyone was silent, yes, in the past, more than 100,000 Qing troops could gallop on the land of the Ming Dynasty, but this time there were 300,000, even if the governor used soldiers like a god, but the strength was limited This is an indisputable fact.

As for the incident of "500 new troops fighting 100,000", Li Hongfei also personally came forward to refute the rumors, saying that the 500 new troops were the elite soldiers and strong generals that Suzhou spent a lot of resources and took a year to cultivate, and because of the favorable time and place, it was only because of the right time and place that it achieved that great victory, and it was not as outrageous as 100,000, but only repelled 50,000 troops.

For the sake of propaganda, Li Hongfei did not dare to tell the truth, but the rumors became more and more outrageous, and Li Hongfei had to properly "clarify" them, otherwise once he was defeated, he would really be a "sinner for the ages."

It is a good thing to appropriately exaggerate combat effectiveness and give the people confidence, but we must not blindly boast about it, otherwise when the time comes to see the truth, once the results expected by the people cannot be achieved, then the collapse of faith will bring about unimaginable consequences.

This is also why, after hearing these rumors, the Qing army did not pay much attention to the fundamental reason, pinning the hope of a country on a boasted army, so once this army is destroyed, it is equivalent to destroying the hope of the country.

That's when .............. A fast horse galloped from outside the city gate, and the cavalry entered the city, without slowing down at all, but while urging the war horse, he shouted loudly: "Fengtai Mountain victory, Suzhou New Army annihilated 40,000 enemies!" ”

It turned out that this was the cavalry who carried the good news.

When the people in the city heard about this good news, they immediately boiled.

"I'll just say that there was a battle yesterday, good guy, I heard that there were only 20,000 garrisons on the Yuhuatai side, and 40,000 Qinggou were destroyed in one fell swoop, which is a veritable victory!" The man who initiated the topic before said proudly.

"I'm a good man, I should learn from the Suzhou New Army to kill the enemy and serve the country!" Someone said excitedly and loudly.

"Don't talk about it, hurry up and eat, it's not far from Fengtai Mountain, maybe we can rush over and kill a few clear dogs that slipped through the net." There are also people urging their companions.

The whole teahouse was overjoyed when they heard the news of the victory in Fengtai Mountain, but there was one person on the upper floor of this teahouse, who violently crushed the cup in his hand after hearing the news.

"General, we are here to carry out a mission, and we must not startle the snake." The person next to him hurriedly reminded him.

The person who crushed the cup quickly reacted, threw the cup in his hand to the ground, and said loudly: "Xiao Er, I accidentally broke a cup just now while eating, can you change it for us?" ”

Soon, Xiao Er went upstairs, cleaned up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and replaced them with a new cup.

However, all this happened to be seen by a table of people across from them, to be exact, by a handsome boy with a sword in his hand.

Sitting at the same table with him, a slightly chubby man noticed the strangeness of his friend, so he asked curiously: "Brother Xizhi, the group of people on the other side has an enmity with you?" ”

This person's palms are covered with calluses, and there is a spear standing next to him, and he is obviously also a practitioner.

"Who has a grudge against Brother Yao? Wait for me to meet Lao Feng. Another man who was drinking heard that there was an enemy, and immediately came to his senses.

"Third Brother Feng, don't be impulsive, it's not that you have an enmity with me, it's just that this group of people is suspicious, I just took a second look, you also know, there have been a lot of fish and dragons in the city recently, and some things are better to be careful." was called the handsome boy of Xizhi, and explained.

"Finesse?" People who are slightly chubby quickly understand.

"Not sure." Pianpian is not sure.

"Now that the city is actively resisting the Qing Dynasty, it is inevitable that there will be a small mix-in, and the Governor is responsible for too many facts, so he will definitely not be able to take care of it, since we have bumped into it, this matter cannot be ignored. Xue Zhen, you have the best light work, find a chance to follow them later, and see what tricks the other party is playing. The chubby man commanded.

"Don't you report to the official?" The person who called himself Lao Feng heard that the other party might be a fine worker, and his first reaction was to report to the official.

Because the official will be rewarded with silver.

"If there is no evidence, don't report to the official, and after Xue Zhen finds out, it's not too late to report to the official." Pianpian said.

"That is, we are a righteous army, and we can be regarded as taking the court's money, do we still need to alarm the officials for this trivial matter? Just leave it to me. The man known as Xue Zhen also hurriedly agreed.

Soon, seeing that the other party was leaving, Xue Zhen also took the opportunity to leave first.

It seems that this battle for the defense of Nanjing not only brought together the army of King Qin from all over the world, but also attracted many people from the rivers and lakes to come to help...........

And the herald who rode horses before hurried all the way and soon came to Li Hongfei's governor's palace.

"Haha! This Zhang Chao really dared to do it, 10,000 people picked the vanguard of the Qing army, and even the 20,000 cavalry reinforcements were wiped out. After reading the battle report, Li Hongfei couldn't help laughing.

"More than 10,000 people....... My Shenji Battalion also has merit. Wang Guoxing expressed dissatisfaction.

"Look at me......... Hehe, your Shenji Battalion naturally has a great contribution, but I said the wrong thing. Li Hongfei hurriedly apologized.

It turned out that since Liu Shengli took the initiative to attack and fight bayonets with the Qing army that broke through, the last trace of morale of the Qing army was also dispersed.

The new army in Suzhou was not afraid of death, and even resorted to the trick of "human-shaped bombs", which dealt a very huge blow to the hearts of the Qing army.

What kind of army will have such a decisive heart?

I'm afraid that only that, the army with firm convictions, will be like this.

Li Hongfei's reform in Suzhou won the favor of the vast majority of tenant farmers, who took the initiative to let their children join the Suzhou New Army in this turbulent and turbulent era in order to support Li Hongfei, which is the source of faith.

Li Hongfei did not dare to live up to everyone's expectations, not only gave the best treatment to the soldiers, but even the disability allowance and the death pension were the most generous in the entire Ming Dynasty and even in the whole of China.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, a life was about ten taels of silver, a dead soldier or a little more, but at most fifty taels of heaven.

Li Hongfei also gave a one-time subsidy of 50 taels to the crippled lowest-level soldiers, and even gave priority to working in government-run factories or yamen.

The lowest soldiers who died in battle will receive a subsidy of 100 taels per household, and if they have attacked because of killing the enemy before death, there will be corresponding rewards to be paid to their immediate family members.

Brothers in the family are also exempt from military service, and immediate family members can also be given priority if they want to work in a government-run enterprise.

One hundred taels of silver, which was already a huge amount of money at that time, was enough for a family of three to live for ten years, and the families of soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country will also enjoy a series of benefits.

It can be said that as long as Li Hongfei's policy can continue to be implemented in Jiangsu, the families of the soldiers who died in the war will not have to worry about having a good life.

The families of a group of people who died in Yangzhou have already received subsidies, and many soldiers whose hometowns are closer to each other have already known through the letters brought by the trustees that the governor did not deceive them, and that it should be as much silver, as much as silver, and not a penny is not a lot.

People die for money, birds die for food, and money can make ghosts grind.

Li Hongfei smashed a lot of silver, and the soldiers below, who didn't serve their lives?
