Chu Suifeng knew that in history, the Qing army did not capture the Daimyo's Mansion, but turned to Shandong, Keguantao, and crossed the canal through Linqingzhou.

At this time, the troops in Jinan City were empty, and the defenders were less than 2,000 people.

Zhang Bingwen, the political envoy of Shandong, and Han Chengxuan, the magistrate of Licheng, rushed to the imperial court on the one hand, asked for reinforcements everywhere, and mobilized the people in the city to take up arms to defend the country.

Everyone is undressed and hard to defend the city of Jinan. Looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements from the imperial court every day, who knew that the eunuch Gao Qi, who supervised the emperor, was sitting on a heavy army in Linqing, and he didn't come to the rescue.

Seeing this, Zu Kuan, the general of the other reinforcement army, also waited and hesitated, delaying the fighter. Poor two helpless civilian administrative officials, led the people of Jinan to defend the city for several days, and finally on the second day of the first month of the following year, the Qing army besieging the city collapsed the city wall with artillery.

Hearing the news, the two led their soldiers and civilians to engage in street battles with the Qing army, but they were finally outnumbered and both died. The Qing army captured the city of Jinan and did not withdraw from the pass until March.

In this battle, the Qing army captured Zhu Youshu, the king of Jinan, and plundered more than 500,000 people. In addition, Chongzhen was plundered again in the thirteenth year, and Shandong never recovered its vitality until the Kangqian period of the Qing Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Chu Suifeng, who was looking at the water-milled green bricks everywhere, couldn't help but clench his fists.

After Liu Zeqing accepted the appointment, he immediately led his subordinates to Dongchang Mansion, and after a little arrangement, he summoned all the generals to discuss at the Dongchang General Military Mansion.

At this time, Yao Wenchang's clear voice came from the hall.

"Liu Shuai, our army is now stationed in Guantao and Guanxian counties, and if we choke these locations, Dongchang Mansion will be safe for the time being."

The other party is dressed as a scholar today, with cotton clothes and green robes, square scarves and boots, standing next to the Taishi chair that Liu Zeqing relied on, and he was very energetic.

"Aren't we going to relieve the siege of the Daimyo's Mansion, wouldn't this arrangement become a stubbornness?" A bearded general below raised an objection in time.

Chu Suifeng didn't know the other party and glanced at his court clothes, he was a second-rank deputy general.

Yao Wenchang's face froze, and he looked at the other party with disdain.

"This time, there are 90,000 Jiannu armor people, and 80,000 Aha, does Vice General Ning think that my more than 10,000 Tongzhou troops can beat it?"

As soon as these words came out, all the generals present hung their heads and sighed endlessly.

The so-called armor man is the elite selected from the Manchurian bannermen, also known as the Eight Banners elite cavalry.

The armor-wearing people are divided into two kinds of vests and foot armor, they do not pay grain or cultivate, but they draw one out of three dings, and each ox records one of the three people in Manchuria wearing armor, with sixty as a constant.

The vest and the step armor are only functional differences, and there is no difference between high and low. They are all cavalry, but one is a cavalry at any time and place, and the other is dismounted and fought on foot after arriving at the battlefield, which is considered to be a horseback infantry.

In the event of a war, the Manchurian bannerman is a soldier, and the armor man is one of the elite, and the armor man will bring a number of pawns, that is, Aha to assist in looting, taking care of property and prisoners, and generally the armor man goes out to fight, and the number of Aha carried is between one and two people.

The smallest unit of the Qing army is Niu Lu, each Niu Lu has 300 households, and each household has a strong man, the father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother dies and the younger brother dies, that is to say, there are 300 Ding in a Niu Lu.

And the vest, step armor, and white armor are all elites selected from these three hundred dings.

The composition of Niu Lu is divided into three kinds: Ahha, armor people, and banners, and Aha is a slave, mostly of whom are Han people. Born in a few people, it is not counted among the people.

The bannermen were all Manchurians, and the armor-clad people were selected from the Manchurian bannermen.

Cowardice! Fear of death!

After hearing this, Chu Suifeng glanced at the other party viciously, and said in his heart that Da Ming was finished in such a group of bastards!

Ahem.

Hearing Liu Zeqing coughing above, everyone in the hall held their breath to listen to the brave general's words.

"I didn't say I wouldn't save it! Before leaving, Governor Chen made it clear that our first task was to secure Dongchang Mansion first, and besides, ......"

After speaking, he stroked the purple red handle on the chair and glanced at Chu Suifeng, who was silent in thought at the last seat.

The corners of Yao Wenchang's mouth twitched slightly, knowing that Liu Zeqing had launched according to their previous plan.

The reason why he took the hot potato of the general army of Dongchang Mansion was because Yao Wenchang expected that Emperor Chongzhen would not ask for guilt.

Although the Daimyo's Mansion was critical, the Qing army's hundreds of thousands of elites gathered, and all the elites of the Ming Dynasty might not be able to win.

Since the first battle of Salhu, the 200,000 Ming Dynasty coalition troops were beaten by the Qing army, and the whole army was defeated.

In the first battle of Guangning, more than 100,000 Liaodong troops were defeated and thousands of miles of corpses were ambushed.

The Qing army is invincible, not to mention that more than 100,000 elites from the other side have gathered this time.

Dozens of states and counties were lost, no one dared to be its front, the governors Wu Aheng, Lu Xiangsheng, and even Sun Chengzong were all killed in battle, and it would be too unwise to use them, the general soldiers who could still fight, at this time.

This is also the real reason why the emperor approved Chen Xinjia to return to Liu Zeqing.

Bang bang.

Liu Zeqing gently tapped the black coffee table twice with the middle of his right index finger, and said in an unfathomable tone.

"Governor Chen and I both think that the Tartars will go south to plunder, and the Henan provinces are very dangerous!"

The reason why Chen Xinjia sent Liu Zeqing to Dongchang Mansion was to form a horn with Linqingzhou and Dezhou, so that the Qing army would not go east to Shandong, but would go down to plunder.

Of course, the Qing army did not necessarily have to go to Henan, and it was very likely that they would attack Yanzhou Mansion and Dongchang Prefecture, Fanxian County, and Puzhou, so Liu Zeqing discussed with Da Wenxin that he would send Chu Suifeng to garrison there.

It is best to die in the hands of the Tartars, and if you don't die and flee back, you will press the charge of fear of the enemy and cowardice on his head, and it will still be a death!

When the generals heard this, they all felt reasonable, and kept talking to each other.

Hearing this, Yao Wenchang smiled at Chu with the wind and said emotionally.

"Of course, the area around Fan County will also become extremely dangerous, and the general army needs to strengthen the defense forces in that area. Fan County's seat of governance is located in a key county, and it is the responsibility to defend the territory, and Your Excellency will take office on the same day. ”

The other party's tone was extremely gentle, and he looked like the big brother next door who took good care of him on weekdays, which made the eyes of some people who didn't know the bottom moist for a while.

"I am willing to mention eight thousand tigers and wolves to relieve the worries of the handsome!" Chu snorted coldly with the wind, walked to the middle of the hall without hesitation, and bowed his hand, and after speaking, he turned his sharp gaze directly to Liu Zeqing.

Ahem!

After listening to Liu Zeqing's accident, the tea entered his throat, and he coughed violently, and the yellow-brown tea in the bowl was scattered all over the ground.

Everyone turned their eyes to Chu Suifeng, and said in their hearts, this person really dares to say it!

There are a total of 10,000 people here, and he opens his mouth to 8,000, and the remaining 2,000 people are still defending a fart!

Dozens of Manchu armorers reimbursed them all.

"Eight thousand people are not good, after all, you still have to defend! I heard that Qianhu Zun is a crazy fox, and he is good at strategy, and he thinks that eight hundred elite soldiers are enough. Yao Wenchang's face was slightly stagnant, and the stiff muscles came alive again.

Chu Suifeng sighed in his heart for a while, knowing that the other party would not give more, so the lion opened his mouth to make more capital.

Who knew that the other party was determined to harm him, didn't Lu Xiangsheng die in battle like this?

But the other party miscalculated!

These people are indeed extremely intelligent, but they have hundreds of years of historical knowledge less than him.

"There are fewer people, and this material and weapon are enough! After all, it's for the country! At this time, Liu Zeqing also stopped coughing, and seeing Chu Suifeng's face blushing and silent, he quickly got up from the Taishi chair covered with furry animal skins and walked down.

In front of Chu Suifeng, he patted his shoulder affectionately with his hand, and said with a smile on his face.

"Even if it's not for the country, it's for the family!"

The surrounding generals echoed one after another, and for them, as long as they were not the substitute ghosts, they would be very happy to go.

For a while, the hall was full of praise for Chu Suifeng! Wave after wave.

"I don't have a family in Dongchang Mansion!"

Chu Suifeng's cold words extinguished the enthusiasm in the hall, and many people kept their mouths like hippos for a long time halfway through speaking.

Liu Zeqing's face was also stiff, and he couldn't stop laughing at a loss.

"Good! Words and words! What else do you want, I would like to hear more about it with Mr. Liu! Yao Wenchang had long expected Chu Suifeng's reluctance, and he also guessed the other party's performance today.

After all, setting up a trap for people to send to death, but anyone who is not an idiot is now such a performance.

He paid attention to Chu Suifeng's words and deeds from the beginning, and the other party seemed to have a foreknowledge of today's arrangement, and he didn't say anything from the moment he entered the house.

But he found a weakness of the other party, that is, whenever he talked about the villagers, the other party's face showed a trace of sadness and indignation, although it flashed, but it showed that this person was a person who valued affection.

The reason why I didn't go was that I didn't reach the other party's bottom line, and Yao Wenchang, who saw through the mystery, said categorically.

Chu flashed Yao Wenchang's glance with the wind, and arched his hand at Liu Zeqing with a solemn face.

"Liu Shuai, there is indeed something to ask for in the future, and if you agree, you will go, but if you don't agree...... Hmph"

After Chu Suifeng finished speaking, he sneered for a while.

Liu Zeqing turned his head and glanced at Yao Wenchang and said categorically.

"Speak!"
