ps: I don't know why I'm in a good mood, congratulations!

Or the last time Ren Siqi came to Yangzhou to attack the Manchu camp at night, after Shi Kefa sent people to report to the imperial court and ask for merit for the Daishan army, the first order of the imperial court in Yangzhou was to order Shi Kefa and Ren Siqi to take all the troops to evacuate Yangzhou and return to the capital!

The crown prince and the prince, a scholar of the Jianji Palace, this is the official position of the Hongguang Imperial Court to reward Shi Kefa, and the imperial court still does not know the news of Shi Kefa's serious injury. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because of the night attack on the camp of the Qing army, beheading 3,000 merits, the Hongguang court canonized Ren Siqi as the Marquis of Su, the right governor, and the prince Shaobao, and gave Shang Fang the sword to open the town of Ningbo, and Yin Yizi was a thousand households of Jinyi Wei, which means that Ren Siqi officially became a prince from then on.

"Master Ren, please get up quickly." After passing the holy decree, the old acquaintance eunuch Lu Fang smiled and helped Ren Siqi up. Shi Kefa was seriously injured and could not be a director, and now the entire Yangzhou is respected by Ren Siqi.

Yangzhou generals Liu Zhaoji, Shi Dewei, Hu Shangyou, Ma Yingkui and others congratulated Ren Siqi one after another, and their eyes all showed envy. At the age of more than 20, he has become a marquis and a major general, and Ren Siqi's future is limitless. After these days of war, the generals no longer have any doubts about the combat effectiveness of Ren Siqi and his subordinate Ningbo Army, and the reason why Yangzhou City can be defended to this day is that Ren Siqi and his Ningbo Army have made great contributions.

Among them, several generals such as Liu Zhaoji and Shi Dewei already have faint thoughts of serving Ren Siqi.

"Master Ren, I don't know when I will be able to return to the military capital?" The eunuch Lu Fang asked with a little urgency, he was born as a personal eunuch of Emperor Hongguang, and he had a deep affection for Hongguang.

"This needs to be considered in the long run." Ren Siqi hesitated, "Gonggong Lu also saw that 200,000 Qing soldiers besieged the city for several turns, and there were 800,000 people in Yangzhou City. ”

"Please hurry up, the situation in the capital is too dangerous." Lu Fang said helplessly, he also knew the current situation in Yangzhou, and Ren Siqi was not lying.

After perfunctory Lu Fang, Ren Siqi immediately convened a meeting of the core people of Yangzhou to discuss where Yangzhou should go!

"We are all officials of the imperial court, and we eat the Ming Dynasty's Yulu, since the imperial court has summoned each other, we naturally have to obey the orders of the imperial court, what is there to discuss." Huaiyang Governor Wei Yinwen said disapprovingly.

"What Master Wei said lightly, let's pat our butts and leave, what should we do with the 800,000 people in Yangzhou City?" Chief soldier Liu Zhaoji snorted and asked rhetorically.

"Naturally, naturally some troops were left to defend Yangzhou." Wei Yinwen didn't dare to say words that would make the people ask for more blessings.

"It makes sense, in my opinion, Lord Wei will stay in Yangzhou, as the governor of Huaiyang, it is within his duty to stay in Yangzhou." Hu Shangyou, the chief soldier of the four Chuan, said in a weird way.

"You, pay attention to your identity, you Qiu Ba, a soldier leader, how dare you be so rude to me!" Wei Yinwen was furious, pointed at Hu Shangyou and scolded sharply.

Hu Shangyou snorted and turned his head, you are an empty governor with no power and no soldiers, install a hammer in front of Lao Tzu, Hu Shangyou scolded in his heart.

Most of the civil officials led by Wei Yinwen, the governor of Huaiyang, suggested that they should respond to the call of the imperial court to abandon Yangzhou and return to the capital. On the pretext of protecting the people of Yangzhou, the generals persuaded Ren Siqi not to return to the capital easily. The civil and military forces quarreled and discussed for a long time without any progress.

......

"None of these civilian-military generals have a good thing." Li Yan scolded hatefully.

After the meeting, Ren Siqi convened the Ningbo Army to continue the discussion and discuss where the Ningbo Army should go.

The civil officials were shot to death and wanted to flee back to the capital as soon as possible. The generals were afraid that Ren Siqi would leave them to guard Yangzhou, so they had been opposed to reinforcing the capital. This is the mind of most civil and military personnel.

"We can hold Yangzhou with more than 20,000 troops, there are still 50,000 or 60,000 troops in the capital, and there are tens of thousands of troops in Wuhu in the west, and the southern capital is ten times stronger than Yangzhou, how can we not hold it?" Shen Tingyang shook his head in confusion and sighed.

The Nan*Beijing Imperial Court didn't know how to save itself, but it hit the idea on the head of the Ningbo Army, which was more than 10,000 troops, and I really don't know what the Manchu Dynasty civil and military thought?

"What else can you think? I panicked. Li Yanzhi said disdainfully, "They are sick and rushed to the doctor, I'm afraid not only to give us an order to King Qin, but all the troops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have received King Qin's holy decree." ”

"Master Hou, from the perspective of his subordinates, Nan * Jing really can't be saved. Our Ningbo army fought in Yangzhou for many days, the soldiers were tired early, and they were able to block the Qing soldiers according to the city wall, if they gave up Yangzhou, hundreds of miles to reinforce Nan*Beijing, so many Duo 200,000 troops pursued from behind, even if we could safely reach Nan*Beijing, but at that time, Nan*Beijing would face the Qing army in the northwest and how could it be defended! Song Liben said.

"Master Hou, you can't retreat, if our Daishan army retreats, then the 800,000 people in Yangzhou will have no luck, we can't leave so many people behind!" Shen Tingyang also said that although he had been an official of the imperial court, the weight of 800,000 people in Shen Tingyang's heart was too heavy.

"I won't retreat," Seeing that all his subordinates unanimously opposed the withdrawal of troops, Ren Siqi also nodded and said, "With our troops, it is already the limit to be able to block the Qing troops all the way, if we go thousands of miles to reinforce Nan*Jing, it is equivalent to pushing the brothers into the fire pit." ”

"However, even if we don't reinforce Nan*Jing, we should have made plans early. From the point of view of the subordinates, Nan * Beijing will definitely not be able to hold, once Nanjing is lost, all parts of Jiangdong will inevitably be occupied by Qing soldiers, and then we will be enemies in the north and south, and it will be a dead end to defend the lonely city of Yangzhou. Li Yanzhi said to Ren Siqi.

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement with Li Yanzhi's words. Withdrawing Yangzhou to reinforce Nan*Beijing is a dead end, but trapping Yangzhou is not a dead end, and you must plan early!

"Tell me what the hell are we going to do?" Cao Changjiang, director of the Logistics Department, urged.

"What else can I do, Master Hou, he has already made arrangements, we just need to act according to the plan." Li Yan said with a straight smile.

"Already arranged? How I don't know! Cao Changjiang said with a frown.

Ren Siqi smiled and glanced at Li Yanzhi, everything was silent.

In the following days, Ren Siqi convened Yangzhou civil and military affairs to discuss day by day, but due to the different opinions of everyone, the decision to return to Nan*Beijing could not be reached for a long time.

The news that the imperial court ordered Su Lubo to withdraw his troops also spread, and the people of Yangzhou were in an uproar, and countless people gathered in front of the governor's mansion and knelt on the ground to beg Su Juhou not to abandon the people of Yangzhou.

Ren Siqi personally came out with kind words to appease, and vowed never to abandon the people, the Ningbo army is the army of the imperial court, but also the army of the people, and will never give up the duty of guarding the people! (To be continued.) )
