In the city of Yangzhou, the superintendent Shi Kefa sat in the study and frowned. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Since being shouted in the middle of the night, saying that Su Lubo, who was responsible for defending the new city, personally led his troops to attack the Qing army camp late at night, Shi Kefa was shocked and hurriedly sent people to stop it, but the person who sent said that Su Lubo had already led his troops out of the city and could not catch up at all. From then on, Scofa could no longer sleep.

Regarding Ren Siqi's arrogance and arrogance, Shi Kefa is no longer able to complain, from Gao Jie Liu Liangzuo to Ren Siqi, which general who commands the army is not like this, Shi Kefa is used to it.

What made Shi Kefa worry was that he was worried that Ren Siqi's failure would be small, and it would cause the troops in Yangzhou City to be weak, and the morale of the Ming army in Yangzhou City would be even more depressed, and Yangzhou would be even more difficult to defend at that time.

Victory? Don't be kidding, for more than ten years, the Ming army has never won in the face of Manchurian soldiers. Even the Dashun army that captured the Beijing division and forced the first emperor to hang himself was beaten by the Manchu soldiers, and Ren Siqi only took 3,000 soldiers to attack the Qing army camp, what is it that is not looking for death?

In the end, it is a young man, I don't know how thick the sky is, Shi Kefa sighed one after another. When I woke up, I couldn't sleep anymore, so I simply got up and started working on paperwork.

As the governor of Jiangbei's entire Ming army, Shi Kefa was nominally the highest military and political governor in Jiangbei, and the daily affairs he needed to deal with were very cumbersome. Fortunately, there is a group of staff, and some small matters are handled by them, and they will report to Shi Kefa if they can't decide on their own.

Usually the things that the staff don't dare to deal with without permission are the affairs of the army, such as this document, which is that the gentry in the city, the Li family, sued Liu Zhaoji, the chief soldier defending the northern city, saying that Liu Zhaoji sent troops to cut down the trees on their ancestral graves wantonly, destroying the feng shui of his family, and asked Shi Kefa to stop this.

That piece of tree Shi Kefa also knew that it was located in the northwest corner of the city, and the shade of the trees covered the sky and the sun, causing great inconvenience to the soldiers defending the city. However, the gentry are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and the relationship is intertwined, as a member of the gentry, Shi Kefa does not want to offend them easily. After thinking about it, he approved the document and ordered the northern city guard to stop the logging.

Although the order was issued, whether Liu Zhaoji and the others would listen to it or not, Shi Kefa had no idea in his heart, so he could only use harsh wording on the document to make sure they obeyed the order.

After dealing with a few more documents, Shi Kefa only felt that his head was about to explode. Since the dispatch of troops from all over the country into the city, there has been a succession of major and minor incidents. Although the number of military lands in Yangzhou City is small, it is under the command of several generals, and the coordination of the relationship between them and the distribution of food and weapons all need to be worried by Shi Kefa. Moreover, these troops were hurriedly stationed in Yangzhou, not local troops, and in order to facilitate resettlement in the city, they all lived in the people's homes nearby. Of course, in order to make the people agree, the Yangzhou government gave subsidies.

But the problem is that the military discipline of these armies is too poor, and there are constant incidents of harassment of the people. Stealing, robbing and even ** women, every day there are people crying and shouting to the government. However, where did the Yangzhou prefect dare to take care of the affairs of the army, so he pushed all the things to the superintendent yamen.

It's these bad things that make Shi Kefa anxious all day long, if only they were like the army of Ningbo General Su Lubo! Since the Daishan army entered the city, they did not live in the people's homes at all, but brought their own tents to garrison in the open area. Moreover, the Daishan army has strict military discipline, and it has not heard of disturbing the people for a day after entering the city.

Alas, if only he weren't so reckless, I hope he would escape and ascend to heaven. Shi Kefa pushed away the paperwork in front of him and walked to the window, the morning light outside the window was slightly dewed, and the sky gradually brightened.

Pushing open the window and taking a breath of fresh air, Shi Kefa's heart calmed down rarely.

The sound of hurried footsteps came, breaking the silence of this moment, and the corners of Shi Kefa's mouth showed a wry smile, not knowing what bad things were waiting for him.

"My lord, something is wrong," the staff member He Gang is always so hot and quick.

"Makita, what the hell is going on? You speak slowly. After Shi Kefa had calmly done the case, a pair of deep eyes looked at He Gang who pushed the door in directly with dissatisfaction.

He Gang knew that he was a little disrespectful, smiled apologetically, and hurriedly said: "My lord, just now, the whole army of Su Lubo in the new city went out of the city to join the enemy!" ”

Yes! As soon as Shi Kefa's eyes were dark, he felt that the sky was dark, as if the sky was about to fall.

"Don't talk nonsense, how do you know they're going to the enemy?" Shi Kefa glared at He Gang viciously, the strength of the Daishan army accounted for half of the total strength of Yangzhou, if they went out of the city and surrendered, then Yangzhou would no longer have to defend it!

"They went out without an order, didn't they join the enemy?" He Gang said aggrievedly. The entire army in Yangzhou was under the management of the governor's office, and as the assistant military officer, He Gang was well aware of the defense movement of the army in the city. The Daishan army did not get the order of the superintendent to transfer troops, but went out of the city without permission, so there was only one possibility, that is, to surrender to the enemy.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Shi Kefa glared at He Gang with dissatisfaction, and sat back in his chair, "If Uncle Su wants to surrender to the enemy, how good would it be to give Yangzhou directly to the Qing army first, so why go out of the city to surrender?" ”

The generals and generals are domineering, and the staff and staff are incompetent, so there is no one who makes him worry-free, Shi Kefa is very helpless.

"Maybe Uncle Su couldn't bear to kill the officers and soldiers in the city directly," He Gang was about to speak, but was interrupted by Shi Kefa.

"Don't speculate, Su Lubo personally led his troops to attack the Qing army camp at night in the middle of the night, don't you know about this, it should be his subordinates in the city who went out of the city to meet him. Why don't you send someone out of the city to investigate! ”

"I, I, I was on duty with Brother Qing in the first half of the night, and I didn't know about it." He Gang said ashamedly, turned around and hurriedly went out, he wanted to send someone to find out, whether the Daishan army was sent to meet the army or surrender to the enemy, if it was to surrender to the enemy, then it was necessary to readjust Yangzhou's defense.

Looking at He Gang's hurried back, Shi Kefa shook his head. He himself did not believe that Ren Siqi would surrender to the Qing army, although he did not know Ren Siqi before, but Shi Kefa had an intuition. Maybe Ren Siqi is not a loyal and righteous man, but he will never be the kind of person who betrays the country and defects to the enemy!

Wait, news will come soon. At this moment, Shi Kefa actually had a faint expectation, maybe Su Lubo could really do something. Shi Kefa didn't dare to think about repelling the Qing army, after all, Ren Siqi only brought 3,000 soldiers when he went out of the city to attack the camp. But if you can achieve a little victory, even if Ren Siqi returns safely, it will definitely boost the morale of the army in Yangzhou! (To be continued.) )
