Chapter 351: Good News Comes All Over the City

Just in the anxious waiting, the sky was completely bright. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Shi Kefa hurriedly had breakfast and went out of the Governor's Mansion to inspect military affairs.

Waiting is the most anxious thing, and Shi Kefa can't sit still in the mansion anymore.

With three or five staff members and a dozen guards, Shi Kefa first went east into the new city. Seeing Shi Kefa's arrival, the soldiers left by the Daishan Army to defend the city all looked at Shi Kefa in amazement, for these soldiers who had just turned from farmers and fishermen, such a big official as the Soldier Department of the Cabinet University was not something they could see.

But that was it, there was nothing but wonder in their eyes. did not panic, let alone kneel and kowtow, but just looked at the high-ranking officials of the court who walked with their weapons.

An officer of the Daishan Army hurriedly came and claimed to be the deputy commander of the Daishan Water Army, named Xue Yulai.

"Meet the Overseer!" Xue Yulai clasped his hands into fists and gave a military salute, and he was excited to be able to talk to such a big official.

"Commander Xue is exempt." Shi Kefa gave a sigh of relief and asked, "I heard that Su Lubo sent troops overnight, I don't know if there is any news?" "Commander, there is no such position in the Ming Dynasty, and he is unwilling to be held accountable for Ren Siqi's unauthorized change of the military system, and now he is most concerned about Ren Siqi's news.

"Master Hui, there is news that the uncle is currently being pursued by the Qing soldiers, and Director Li has already led the army to support!" Xue Yulai said honestly.

"Hmm." It was determined that the Daishan army was out of the city to support and not to surrender to the enemy, and the stone in Shi Kefa's heart fell, but even if the main force of the Daishan army went to support, the total number was only more than 10,000 people, and the Qing army on the opposite side had 100,000 troops!

With strong concern, Shi Kefa continued to patrol the city, and as for sending more troops out of the city for reinforcements, Shi Kefa didn't even think about it.

"Great victory, great victory of the Daishan Army!" Shi Kefa had just led people to inspect the southern city, and suddenly a soldier ran towards him along the city wall, shouting the words of the Daishan army's victory.

Ren Siqi's army actually won! How is this possible? Shi Kefa was stunned at first, instinctively not believing it, but then a burst of ecstasy surged into his heart. Not to mention whether it is a real victory, Ren Siqi's safe return is a foregone conclusion.

With 3,000 lone troops running for 20 miles, attacking the 100,000 camps of the Qing army at night, not to mention the results of the battle, being able to come back safely is a great joy for Yangzhou City now.

This feat will inevitably inspire the hearts of the people of Baixin in the city and inspire the fighting spirit of other Ming troops.

"Go, go and meet the army of Su Lubo!" Suppressing the joy in his heart, Shi Kefa took the lead along the city wall and went to the east city.

......

Since hearing that the Qing army had broken through Xuyi, the people of Yangzhou have fallen into panic, especially when the news of the arrival of the Qing troops 20 miles away came yesterday, and the people in the city were even more panicked.

The news of the brutality of the Manchurians has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of all the people of the Ming Dynasty. In the past ten years, there have been many news from the north, saying that the imperial army was defeated, the Qing soldiers entered the customs and looted, how many people were killed, and how many people were taken back to the customs as slaves. And last year, I heard that the Qing soldiers entered the customs and occupied the Ming Dynasty's Beijing Division, and the people in the Beijing Division were expelled from the city without food and clothing, and they were very pitiful.

Unexpectedly, just over a year, the experience of the people in the north fell on their heads, which makes people feel at ease.

As early as a few days ago, when the news of Xuyi's loss came, there were wealthy families in the city who could not escape with their families, but later Shi Inspector ordered the city gate to be closed, and the people were not allowed to escape from the city to shake the morale of the army.

Since then, the people of the city have been in turmoil, although there are more than 10,000 troops in Yangzhou, but what will these people do except bully the people? If the Qing soldiers attacked, I am afraid that they would run faster than anyone else, and I didn't see Li Yuchun, the general soldier of Sizhou, who was guarding Xuyi, and dedicated the city to the Manchurians without firing an arrow.

It is better to hope that such an army will protect itself, and pray to God that God will send down the heavenly soldiers and the heavens will clean up the people.

The master of the superintendent is a good official, and he is the master of the blue sky. But it's useless to be a good person, there is such a group of bear soldiers under his command, no matter how powerful the master is, he is a civil official after all, and he can't go into battle to fight.

Since the Qing soldiers arrived in Yangzhou, on this day, the people in the city were in a panic, and the prosperous and busy market on weekdays was much depressed. If nothing happens, no one wants to go out.

However, although the Qing soldiers came, they did not come directly to attack the city, and after a night of worrying, the hearts of the people relaxed slightly, perhaps because they knew that Yangzhou City was high and deep, and they might let Yangzhou go.

Since they are alive, they have to be busy with life, and many people go out early in the morning after breakfast. The war is about to start, and the price of rice has risen three times a day, and it has risen to three taels of silver and one stone, and we must go to the grain store to buy more grain.

Just when there was a little popularity in Yangzhou City, news suddenly came out from the county seat in the east, and soon swept the entire Yangzhou City.

"Great victory, great victory for the Daishan army."

"Su Lu Bo Ren Siqi attacked the Qing camp at night and killed thousands of Qing troops!"

"The Daishan army attacked the Qing army camp at night and killed tens of thousands of enemies!"

"The Daishan army defeated the Qing army, and the Sulu Bo array beheaded the chieftain Duoduo!"

The news swept the entire Yangzhou, and the more it spread, the more bizarre it became. The people who went out rushed to tell each other and went to the east city one after another, they wanted to see the victorious army. Many people do not believe that the Qing soldiers were defeated, but the officers and soldiers won a victory. As far as the people of Yangzhou are concerned, all they have received in the past few days is the news of the successive defeats and retreats of the official army, and the news of which general army surrendered to the Qing army, and they have never heard the news of victory.

So even a small victory makes them happy and inspired, and it also gives them hope! No one wants the country to perish, no one wants to be a slave to a foreign race!

......

On the side of the street leading to the East Gate, there is a lavishly decorated teahouse.

On the second floor of the teahouse, Wang Lin, the most famous salt merchant in Yangzhou, and Li Qingchuan, a big silk merchant, stood by the window with their hands in their hands, watching the fanatical people on the street outside.

"It's not a blessing for Yangzhou to win." Looking at the situation outside, Wang Lin sighed.

"Yes, the general trend of the world is mighty, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is already the trend of the times, and it is beyond human power to stop it! The people are brutal and slaughter the city at every turn. If Yangzhou is handed over to the Manchurians, if it takes the initiative to resist, the people of the whole city will probably encounter disaster! Li Qingchuan said.

"Where did such a figure come from? Unexpectedly, he blocked the car with his mantis arm! Wang Lin said with a sigh.

"Brother Wang, we can't let the situation develop like this, if we anger the Manchurian soldiers, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to the people of the whole city!" Li Qingchuan said worriedly.

"We're just businessmen, so what? I have already found someone to test it, and Inspector Shi is dedicated to the country, and he will never surrender. Wang Lin sighed.

"There will always be a way to figure it out, so let's plan slowly." (To be continued.) )
