Chapter 365: Admiral Yangzhou
At dawn, the people who had been disturbed all night went out one after another, but they were surprised to see that the Governor's Mansion was calm, but there were many more guards at the door than usual, and the people who came in and out were also in a hurry.

The battle that took place in the Governor's Mansion last night disturbed the entire Yangzhou, but since the Governor's Mansion was calm, it means that the incident has been resolved. There is news that it seems that the Gan and Shaanxi soldiers who have just entered the city are in rebellion and try to hold Inspector Shi hostage, but fortunately, Su Lubo arrived with troops and rescued the Inspector.
The people outside were talking about it, and the inside of the Governor's Mansion was not as calm as it seemed.
The corpses in the courtyard have been carried out, and the remaining servants of the palace are washing the blood stains all over the ground, tidying up the trampled and sparse courtyard.
In the bedroom, Shi Kefa was still unconscious, and the arrow in his chest had been pulled out, and according to the doctor, the arrow was only an inch away from his heart, which saved his life. However, due to excessive blood loss, it may take a few days to wake up.
There were more than 100,000 Qing soldiers besieging the city outside, and a rebellion had just broken out inside, and the supreme leader of the city was still in a coma. In the governor's mansion, all the Yangzhou civil ministers and military generals were silent and gloomy.
Although Shi Kefa was unconscious, Yangzhou still had to defend it, and all the civil and military forces gathered together to discuss what to do in the future.
"The snake has no head, everyone, since the Governor can't be a director, we should first elect a leader to lead everyone to defend the city." Chief soldier Liu Zhaoji took the lead in breaking the silence in the hall.
After listening to Liu Zhaoji's words, everyone nodded in agreement, and many people looked at Wei Yinwen, the governor of Huaiyang, who was sitting in the first place.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in my opinion, Inspector Shi cannot be a director, and Yangzhou should naturally be headed by Governor Wei. As the governor of Huaiyang and the official of the feudal territory, Lord Wei is the most suitable to replace Shi Inspector. Yangzhou prefect Ren Minyu was the first to express his position, and other civil officials in Yangzhou echoed it.
However, the generals Liu Zhaoji, the deputy general Ma Yingkui, Shi Dewei, and the general Hu Shangyou, the general of the four generals, were silent.
Ren Minyu saw that after he spoke, only a group of civil officials echoed, and his face suddenly couldn't hold back, and his cold gaze turned to the faces of the generals, and he stared at Ren Siqi at a glance.
In Ren Minyu's view, although Ren Siqi was a little domineering, he first sent troops to attack the Qing army camp, and then rescued the governor's mansion in time and killed all the rebellious Ganshan soldiers, which shows that he is a person loyal to the imperial court. Moreover, Ren Siqi has a reputation for showing talent, presumably his heart will be on the side of the civil official, and he should support Governor Wei.
"Uncle Su, I don't know what you think?" Ren Minyu asked Ren Siqi.
"It's not impossible to take Governor Wei as the leader, but I want to ask Governor Wei, how should this Yangzhou be guarded?" Ren Siqi looked at Wei Yinwen.
"Well," Wei Yinwen pondered with his hands, he was not a civil servant like Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng, who knew how to fight! Besides, it is not a good job to take over Shi Kefa's position now, the current Yangzhou is overwhelmed and dangerous, and he will die if he is not careful, Wei Yinwen does not want to take this hot potato.
Seeing that Wei Yinwen was silent and had no countermeasures, all the generals present showed contempt.
"If you want me to say, it should still be headed by Uncle Su, the civil and military people present have a high title, and Uncle Su has repeatedly made great contributions, except for him, no one is convinced!" Liu Zhaoji was the first to jump out and recommend Ren Siqi.
"Presumptuous, it is the tradition of the Ming Dynasty to use literature and imperial martial arts, although Su Luan has a high title, but after all, he is a military general!" Ren Minyu couldn't help but scold.
"When is it, and the old tune of Wen Yuwu is still mentioned, if you Wenchen can do anything, Yangzhou will not fall into the current situation." Adjutant General Ma Yingkui said impatiently.
"Bastard, are you accusing the Overseer?" He Gang jumped out and pointed at Ma Yingkui and scolded. He Gang, as Shi Kefa's staff, is used to shouting at the generals with Shi Kefa's power from time to time, how can he tolerate Ma Yingkui's questioning of Shi Kefa!
"Shut up!" Ren Siqi patted the back of the chair, was furious, pointed at He Gang and scolded: "What are you, dare to be rude to General Ma, come here, fork him out for me!" ”
The soldiers of the Daishan Army on duty outside the hall got the order and came in and dragged He Gang away.
"Bastard, how dare you do this to me!" He Gang was about to go crazy, in Yangzhou, no one had ever dared to do this to him!
"Uncle Su, stop!" Ren Minyu was also shocked, and hurriedly persuaded Ren Siqi.
"Hmph, why are you just a staff member under the account of Inspector Shi, what official position do you have? How can a military affair allow someone like you to put his beak in his beak! Ren Siqi ignored Ren Minyu's persuasion, and with a wave of his hand, the two Daishan Army soldiers pulled He Gang away.
After listening to Ren Siqi's words, Ren Minyu fell back to his seat weakly. Ren Siqi didn't do anything wrong, He Gang was indeed just Shi Kefa's staff, and he didn't have any official position in the court, so it stands to reason that he is not qualified to speak in the hall. When Shi Kefa was there, He Gang could do whatever he wanted with Shi Kefa's power, Shi Kefa couldn't be a director, He Gang's backer was lost, and it was natural that he would be expelled.
Only then did Ren Minyu realize that the entire Governor's Mansion was guarded by Ren Siqi's soldiers, and I am afraid that Ren Siqi had already had the intention of plotting to seize the throne!
Seeing that Ren Siqi expelled He Gang from the lobby, all the generals present were secretly refreshed, they had long been fed up with the bird's spirit of these literati!
"As a super earl, Su Lubo has the most respected status, and the Daishan army under his command is the main force defending the city, I agree to replace Shi Inspector Shi by Su Lubo and supervise Yangzhou!" Ma Yingkui glanced at Ren Siqi gratefully, and immediately spoke to express his support for Ren Siqi.
"I agree!" Adjutant General Stilwell also chimed in.
"We agree!" Hu Shangyou, the general of the four generals, and Han Shangliang, the deputy general, glanced at each other, they were in Ren Siqi's territory, and they were guarded by the Daishan army all around, how could they dare to raise objections.
"You, you ......" Seeing that all the generals unanimously recommended Ren Siqi, Ren Minyu, the prefect of Yangzhou, changed color, raised his hand and pointed at the generals, unable to speak angrily.
"Ren Fuzun should not be angry," Wei Yinwen hurriedly said, "Since everyone has recommended Su Yubo, in the opinion of this governor, Su Lubo is young and promising, and he can indeed take on this important responsibility!" Wei Yinwen hurriedly appeased Ren Minyudao.
Seeing that even Wei Yinwen, who he recommended, agreed with Ren Siqi as the leader, Ren Minyu had to snort angrily.
"Good! Since you can afford to be in the bottom, Yangzhou is in danger again, so you won't shirk it! Ren Siqi rose up with emotion. Time is so short, where can we let it go!
Ren Siqi walked in the hall and sat on the position that originally belonged to Shi Kefa!
"Meet Uncle!" Including Wei Yinwen, the governor of Huaiyang, all the Chinese warriors stood up at the same time and bowed to Ren Siqi, establishing Ren Siqi's position as the leader of the entire Yangzhou! (To be continued.) )
