"The city of Wuxi is not as strong as Changzhou, and there are not many soldiers and horses in the city, so it will definitely not last long." Xu Fengyu arched his hand at Yiliang, looking like he was at home, "It's still as General Du said, make every effort to break the blockade of Changmao, since he has not been able to coexist with Changzhou, he is willing to lead a man into Wuxi, stick to the city, assist the soldiers and horses outside the adults, and completely eliminate these bandits." ”
Yiliang nodded from time to time, listening to the opinions of the officials one by one, while pondering carefully in his heart. Seeing that everyone was almost done, he waved his hand and coughed again, "Everyone has their own truth in what they said. However, saving soldiers is like fighting a fire, and if there is a slight delay, Wuxi is likely to be lost. The idea of Lord Yu surviving Wei to save Zhao is a good idea, but I am afraid that Wuxi will not be able to hold on to that time. Moreover, just as Lord Yu said, it will not work if there are fewer soldiers and horses to recover Jiangyin, but if there are too many, it will cause the emptiness of Suzhou. We're just going to have this fist, and we're going to clench it and hit it in the sore spot of the long hair. However, it is possible to consider dispatching military horses from Taicang and Kunshan to cooperate with the soldiers of Changshu to pretend to take Jiangyin and attract the attention of Long Mao. The governor thought that this was the case, Lord Yu, General Du, and Lord Xu, commanding 20,000 elite soldiers out of Suzhou, camping in the Meili area, waiting for the opportunity to tear a gap, even if they could not completely annihilate the long hair in the southeast of Wuxi, they had to find ways to make Lord Xu lead troops into the city, strengthen the garrison in the city, and rely on each other with the military horses outside the city."
Seeing that the governor had finished deploying and the officials were planning to leave, Xu Fengyu suddenly thought of a question. He looked at the Governor, his lips squirmed a few times, and finally gritted his teeth and arched his hand, "My lord, there is another idea for the humble position. ”
Yi Liang smiled and sighed, "If Lord Xu has any ideas, just say it." ”
Xu Fengyu looked at the officials who were watching him again, and hesitated, "Maybe you shouldn't say unlucky things at this time, but for the sake of long-term consideration, you feel that Wuxi is one of the rice markets, and Fengqiao in the west of Suzhou is also a big business market, and its rice and bean distribution is even more prosperous than today's 'four towns in the world' Zhuxian in Henan, Jingde in Jiangxi, Foshan in Guangdong and Hankou in Hubei. If there is a case in Wuxi, Suzhou is difficult to protect, and if it is forced to do so, it should be burned with fire, and no long hair will be left. ”
When he said this, many people were stunned. Everyone knows that Fengqiao Ancient Town is located at the intersection of the ancient post road and the Fengjiang River, forming two streets along the river bay - Fengqiao Street and Hanshan Temple Lane, with the river into the city, the water into the street, according to the temple into the town, with a unique water town charm. Fengqiao is located on the water and land channels, and has become a transportation hub from south to north. It is not only a good place for travel and rest, but also a gathering of businessmen to really call "Fengqiao City at night, searching and reminiscing about the old tour". Especially now there are many people in the Fengqiao area, the first house of the celebrities in Shili Guantang, the garden pavilion forest is more than the house, such as the Songhe Hall of the Yin family, the Guangju of the Ge family, the cold incense annex of the Hui family, the Yizhi Garden where the Duan family lives, and the Si Shi Zhai of the Gu family, etc., among which Yuan Tingqi's Yuyin Xiaopu is especially good at the victory of the Loutai Spring Stone, which of the officials present has not been, and which one is not amazed. This Xu Fengyu can actually come up with such a vicious idea.
Hao Lisu, who didn't understand military affairs, so he hadn't spoken all this time, stared at Xu Fengyu coldly, and felt disgusted in his heart, and he really hated to go up and slap him a few big ear scrapers. Scum, what scum! He turned his gaze to Yiliang.
Yiliang stared at Xu Fengyu for a long time and nodded silently. In fact, he had already thought about the worst outcome, what the Qing Dynasty could not get, the Taiping Army could not even think of. It's just that he didn't expect Xu Fengyu to say it so early. After all, Fengqiao is the accumulation of thousands of years of culture of a nation, and these Han officials actually regard it as child's play, it is easy to burn, is it possible to build it again? Anyway, but from this point of view, it is enough to prove Xu Fengyu's fierce loyalty to the Qing Dynasty.
Xu Fengyu was far from being as good as Yiliang thought, and he came up with this idea just to take the opportunity to take revenge. The Gu family's Si Shi Zhai was favored by his beloved concubine last year, for this reason, he can also go to Zhenjiang to find Gu Tonglin, the real owner of Si Shi Zhai, to negotiate, hoping to buy it, and when the officialdom is frustrated in the future, it is also good to be a quiet place. How do you know that stubborn Hui guy didn't buy his account at all. It's a pity that Fengqiao is not under his rule, otherwise he would have found a problem and taken down Si Shi Zhaibai. Now that the opportunity has finally come, he will not relent.
From the Bodu River to the canal, the Qin and Rigang Divisions of the Heavenly Army lined up more than a dozen camps. According to the deployment, Qin Rigang personally led these more than 8,000 men and horses, ready to entangle with the reinforcements from Suzhou from the west, as well as the Qing demons that might come out of Wuxi behind him, to buy time for the big detour of the Red First Army.
Just after noon, Tanma brought the news that the Demon Striker had arrived in Merry. Qin Rigang, who was located in the camp in Fangqian Town, was in high spirits, spit into the palm of his hand, and rubbed his hands vigorously, the momentum was as if the Qing Demon had arrived in front of him, and he couldn't go up with his hands to strangle him to death. He gave the order to go down to the camp to defend it, and he was not allowed to let go of a single demon after killing a single soldier. At the same time, he immediately informed Zhu Xikun, the general who was responsible for monitoring the enemy in Wuxi, that as long as the demons in Wuxi City dared to move, they would immediately line up to meet them. Then, he began to assemble the guards brigade around him, ready to reinforce the troops at any time.
Yu Wanqing's Suzhou reinforcements arrived in Meili one after another, and the journey was smooth, and the reports on both wings did not find any movement of the Taiping army. On the one hand, he ordered the immediate construction of a temporary camp, and on the other hand, he sent Du Wenqi, who commanded the front army, to launch a tentative attack on the Taiping army in front of the fang.
The heavenly army in front of the square was strictly based on the deep ditch, but it was just blindly defended by danger, and did not fight. And the Qing army in Wuxi City did not dare to act rashly for a while. As a result, this initial battle, which was simply an attack and a defense, lasted for more than an hour, until the sun went down, and Du Wenqian stopped his troops and retreated to the temporary camp in a huff.
Qin Rigang inspected several nearby camps. After a not-so-fierce battle, the soldiers of the Celestial Army hurried to repair the damaged barracks while eating dinner. Qin Rigang looked at the direction of Meili in the night again, and heard the faint sound of war drums from time to time, as well as the intermittent sound of Qing army artillery, and smiled with satisfaction. He knew that it was the soldiers of the camps on both wings who were constantly harassing the Qing demons who had just lived in small scales. His Royal Highness King An said well, we can eat and drink well, and rest well, but they can't.
Just returned to the camp tent, Qin Rigang's rice bowl had not yet been served, and Zhu Xikun came. Zhu Xikun, who was a little hairy when he walked, was uncomfortable with idleness. In the ranks of the Heavenly Army, there were far more than one or two people who couldn't sit still when they heard the sound of guns and cannons, as if they were born to come for war.
"Dinner?" Qin Rigang rolled his eyelids and glanced at Zhu Xikun.
"Eat." Zhu Xikun grinned widely, and squeezed out a few words like a toothache.
"Yes, I know what you want to do," Qin Rigang held the rice bowl in one hand and waved the chopsticks in the other hand, "Go, go to Wuxi City to make trouble, tell them that the prime minister is eating, and they are not allowed to eat and sleep steadily, this is the rule." Otherwise, it will be disrespectful, be careful that the city is broken, and the prime minister will punish them. As he spoke, he burst out laughing.
"Well, it's not a big deal." Zhu Xikun shook his head, turned around and walked out, turned around and smiled, "However, it's better than doing nothing." ”
"Don't beat me up, that's pretty much it." Qin Rigang chewed a big mouthful of rice in his mouth, and told him uneasily, and the rice grains fell to the table smoothly.
"Don't worry, you know what to do." Zhu Xikun's stout body had already left the tent, leaving only his rough voice.
Qin Rigang shook his head with a smile, slowly picked up the rice grains on the table, and put them in his mouth one by one. His thoughts flew to tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow might be a cruel day
