Dian Shi is a middle-aged man about forty years old, with a thin body, and there is no heroism between his eyebrows, but a sad face.

Obviously, there is a lot of pressure on the classic history, and we can't expect every classic history to be the person who defended the sky in Jiangyin County, and he didn't run, which shows that the classic history of Haizhou is already very sufficient.

Song Lian entered the Tibetan Soldier Cave and stood coldly in front of Yang Chao with his hands in his hands, although he was short, he pretended to be imposing and looked at Yang Chao.

Seeing this, Yang Chao took the initiative to salute.

"I've seen Lord Song!"

Zhang Dianshi just snorted, it can be regarded as a return salute, Da Ming is noble and martial, but he didn't expect that the style here in Haizhou City is more serious than Nanjing.

Yang Chao didn't care, and asked Song Lian to sit down.

As soon as Song Lian sat down, he immediately snorted coldly: "General Yang, you are so bold!" ”

Yang Chao smiled: "This official has always been very bold. ”

Yang Chao didn't want to lose momentum in front of Song Lian, the civil and military officials were not stipulated by the national law, it was a long-term struggle, the civil officials relied on their power and slowly overwhelmed the military generals, and later after the chaos at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the military generals began to slowly overwhelm the civil officials, but now the Chongzhen Emperor in Beijing has not died, and the situation of the civilian officials suppressing the military generals has not changed.

Therefore, when the general military rank is almost or even slightly higher, when he sees a civilian official, he will call himself a subordinate official, and even a military general at the level of a general will kneel to the supervising army around the seventh grade, which is simply not a little dignified.

Yang Chao couldn't do it, so he took the initiative to salute just now, and he was also an equal official.

Song Lian immediately snorted: "What do you want to enter the city without permission?" ”

Yang Chao said-for-tat: "The Ming army entered Daming City, what is it to enter the city without permission?" ”

Song Lian said: "But you are a guest army!" ”

Yang Chao said: "What about the guest army, it's a matter of urgency!" ”

Song Lian snorted: "What's the hurry? From what right? ”

Yang Chao said: "The captives are in a hurry to attack the city, and they will enter the city to defend the power!" ”

Song Lian took a breath, pulled down his face, and looked left and right.

Yang Chao will understand. Said to Zhang Dian and Li Liang: "You two go out first, I have some private things to say to Master Dianshi." ”

The two of them stood upright, turned around and walked out.

Two pro-soldiers marched neatly. Let Song Lian keep watching them walk out of the door, and then turn his head to look at Yang Chao.

Song Lian stared at it for a long time. Cai said: "Yang Chao's official doesn't go around in circles with you, and he doesn't play sloppy with you, are you really sure to defend the city?" ”

Yang Chao snorted and laughed: "Lord Song, what do you say?" ”

Song Lian took a deep breath: "That's good." If you can defend Haizhou City, this official can ignore your trespass of entering the city without permission. If you can't hold on—"

Speaking of which, Song Lian can't go on, if he can't defend the city, and the chickens and dogs won't be left on the day the city is broken, do you still need to care?

Yang Chao looked at this scholar coldly. But I don't know what this scholar is thinking at this time, whether he is afraid or intense, whether he is staying with the heart of death, but after discovering Yang Chao's life-saving straw, he has always been very naïve to think that Haizhou will be fine.

Yang Chao guessed that it was probably the former, probably this literati wanted to be martyred, so he didn't run with Gao Liangming.

"Lord Song, this official wants to ask you a question."

Seeing that Song Lian suddenly stopped talking, Yang Chao spoke.

Song Lian said: "You speak." ”

Yang Chao said: "Why didn't Lord Song leave with Kochizhou?" ”

Song Lian suddenly changed color: "Leave? It's a smuggler! ”

Then he stood up in a fit of rage. glared at Yang Chao, as if he had been greatly humiliated.

Yang Chao said with a smile: "The enemy is current, and Kochi Prefecture is a literati. Is it understandable to run away? ”

Song Lian suddenly pointed at Yang Chao: "You! ”

He looked extremely sad and angry.

Yang Chao smiled: "Maybe there is something unspeakable in Kochizhou, maybe it's for Haizhou, maybe he's going to ask for help, maybe he wants to keep a promising body, maybe——"

Suddenly, Yang Chao was abruptly interrupted by Song Lian: "Enough!" ”

Yang Chao looked at this scholar, not knowing what he was thinking, or even why he was angry.

Song Lian pointed at Yang Chao with a violent trembling: "You, you." You! Bold puppet, you dare to humiliate the tall man! ”

Yang Chao smiled: "I'm justifying Lord Gao." I tried to find a way to escape the knife, but unfortunately I couldn't think of one. National law and morality can't tolerate him! ”

Song Lian was extremely sad and indignant. Instead, he felt a sense of powerlessness and sat down in a chair.

What Yang Chao said, he didn't say it, but Zhizhou didn't listen.

Even he himself was not like this, he also thought about running, but the sage in his head told him that death is not the most terrible, but the loss of discipline is the most terrible, and that a man's loss of integrity is like a woman's loss of virginity, and from then on heaven will not tolerate it.

So Zhizhou chose to go, and the classic history chose to stay, but Zhizhou and him are both scholars, and the death of the rabbit and the fox are sad and sad, and Yang Chao's humiliation of Zhizhou made Song Lian feel ashamed.

"Yang Chao! I've heard your name, and I know you're a bit of a sideshower. ”

Song Lian was silent for a long time, drank two large bowls of wine, and then began to speak, his tone full of determination.

"Oh, Lord Song has heard of it, I'm really flattered!"

Yang Chao said with a smile.

Song Lian hated and said: "Yang Chao, you are less proud. This official is a person from Jiangning, and he was still guarding the system in Jinling last year, and I have heard people talk about your methods. ”

Yang Chao smiled and didn't speak, and poured another bowl of wine for Song Lian, he knew that Song Lian should get down to business.

Song Lian didn't drink this time, but stared straight into Yang Chao's eyes: "I want you to tell me that Haizhou can hold it!" ”

Yang Chao said with a smile: "Haizhou can hold it!" ”

Song Lian sighed, but he was powerless: "Can you really hold it?" ”

He muttered, taking another bowl of wine.

Yang Chao said: "Then it's up to you, Lord Song." ”

Song Lian snorted coldly: "Me? ”

Yang Chao said seriously: "Lord Song, although there are 10,000 captives, I have 600 elite soldiers, and I can transfer 1,000 guards in the East China Sea, supplemented by thousands of strong soldiers in Haizhou, so why is it difficult to defend the city." The captives have been fighting for a long time, and they have long been tired, and they will never dare to besiege Haizhou for a long time. It won't be long, only one month, and the captives will retreat! ”

"January!"

The light in Song Lian's eyes flashed.

But then it dimmed.

"It's easier said than done to stick to January!"

Haizhou City is not along the canal, although it is a rich land for salt production, but there is no large storage of grain. Although there is rice and grain in the Changping warehouse, the officials in charge of the warehouse are corrupt and do not store enough grain and grass according to the system. Now it is barely enough to support Haizhou City for ten days, let alone January. There is not even food, how can you hold on!

Song Lian's statement made Yang Chao also feel very bad, and suddenly regretted that when he kicked the city, he burned all the grain he grabbed from the captive battalion, if he didn't burn it, he didn't dare to say that he would feed Haizhou City, at least the military food was enough to support, and there was no need to ask the people for food.

But Yang Chao didn't give up. I have been planning for so long, and I have come to this point, and I am absolutely unwilling to end it like this.

So he said to Song Lian: "Lord Song, it is in the sky to plan things and make things happen, if you don't try your best, how can you repay the king and reward justice!" ”

Song Lian drank another bowl of wine: "Okay! The jade is burning, what is there to fear! ”

After speaking, he lay on the table and did not move.

Seeing that Song Lian had indeed drunk, Yang Chao sighed, and then called out Jiang Yang and Li Rui who were drilling under the bed.

Please ask them to send Song Lian back.

On the second day, Yang Chao went to see Song Lian. This time, Song Lian changed yesterday's decadence, and the gentleness of the literati returned to his body again, even if he died, he had to maintain a gentleman's posture. In any case, you must pretend to be fearless.

Yang Chao pondered for a night and put forward a series of opinions to Song Lian, and Song Lian didn't seem to forget what happened when he was drinking after he woke up, so he immediately agreed.

Then Yang Chao sent his own soldiers, and at the same time took a thousand strong men sent by Li Rui, and went to the major grain stores in Haizhou as soon as possible, sealed all the grain shops, and registered all the grain inside.

These grain stores and their warehouses store grain. It can also make Haizhou City last for ten days.

Then he led people to search all the large households from house to house, and requisitioned all the grain in the large households' homes. They were left with ten days' provisions.

For a while, Haizhou City was boiling, and there were even a few big families who were entangled in their families and resisted. But it was not the opponent of Yang Chao's personal soldiers at all, and after more than a dozen people died, the big families of Haizhou City also gave up resistance.

Immediately afterwards, Song Lian issued a notice in the name of the Haizhou Prefecture Ya, telling everyone that in the future, grain would be purchased in limited quantities, and each family could buy three days' rations at the price before Haizhou was besieged.

After that, Yang Chao visited the shopkeepers of major grain stores one by one, as well as the big families in Haizhou City.

Tell the grain merchants that their grain storage is borrowed, and after the siege of the city is lifted, the government will transfer grain to pay it back, hoping that the major grain merchants will forgive me.

Tell the big households that after ten days, they will run out of food and eat it, and if Haizhou has not yet lifted the siege, they can go to the grain store with the ordinary people to buy grain, and the purchase is limited to three days at a time, so as to ensure that their families have food and clothing, and as for the requisitioned and transferred their grain, it will still be returned in the future.

However, at this time, the price of grain in Haizhou was high, and since the siege of the city by tens of thousands of soldiers yesterday, the price of grain in the city has tripled in one day, which is already ten times that of a month ago.

Many large households bought grain at a high price, so it can be said that they have suffered a lot of losses, and even if they pay it back in the future, they will still lose a lot, so it is no wonder that many people have taken risks to fight against it.

But the confrontation obviously failed, and no one felt that they had any hope of success, Yang Chao's army could even kill the captives, not to mention them, so the big families could only accept their fate, and if they didn't accept their fate, look at the dozen or so big families who fought against them as an example, and at this time they were still crying and mourning.

The loss of grain merchants was not large, because their grain was hoarded before the war, and even many grain merchants began to hoard after hearing the news of the invasion of the northern captives.

In the future, the government will return the grain to the grain merchants, and what they lose is not enough profit, at most they did not take advantage of the war to make a fortune, they just paid the opportunity cost, and there was no loss in money.

Therefore, the resistance of the grain merchants is not strong, coupled with Yang Chao's fame and the prestige of the government, those grain merchants can only obey, the Ming merchant class has never had the habit and confidence to confront the government, and Shen Wansan, who is rich enough to rival the country, has not been exiled by Zhu Yuanzhang and has no resistance.

As soon as the notice of Anmin came out, and outside the major grain stores, there were one or two soldiers from Yang Chao guarding them, and there were also government officials to follow, and the daily grain was sold in limited quantities, ensuring that every household could temporarily buy rations at a cheap price, and the vast majority of ordinary people had benefits and settled down for a while.

In less than a day, the city stabilized, making Yang Chao feel that the plan was feasible, the government stocked grain, the grain merchants stockpiled grain, and the large households stockpiled grain, which together could almost sustain Haizhou City for a month, but Yang Chao killed civilians, which was almost equivalent to looting people's wealth, and still made him, a person from later generations, feel a little guilty.

But I knew in my heart that it had come to the time when the jade was burning, and it would not be possible to overcome it without taking some special measures, and it was just a matter of urgency, and the stability in the city was only a prerequisite, and it was far from the time to breathe a sigh of relief, because today day, the battle in the city has not stopped.
