Huang Bo said secretly: This Qing demon has a lot of strength. After slashing a few more times, Huang Bo gradually couldn't support it and retreated backwards, causing a change in the defensive formation and gradually increasing casualties.

Finally, someone was afraid to keep retreating, and threw down their blades and fled.

Huang Bo was helpless, he didn't expect the same situation to happen again! Swinging his knife to force back the Qing demon on the opposite side, he shouted "retreat" and ran backwards.

Zhang Guoliang saw that his men had killed the wounded Han soldiers, and no one was alive, so he beckoned his subordinates to return to the city.

Zhang Suimou gritted his teeth, looked at the defeated more than 200 remnants in front of him, and said angrily: "You can't hold on for a while!" In just a moment, the Qing army that can be completely annihilated from the city and attacked secretly, you say, what do you want me to do with you! ”

Huang Bo was ashamed, raised his head and said, "Please give us another chance, I am willing to be a siege daredevil!" ”

Ling 18 saw that his subordinates were so cowardly, he really had no face to plead, and when he heard that Huang Bo was going to form a death squad, he also felt that this was an opportunity to wash away the humiliation, "Commander Huang is reasonable, please think twice." ”

Zhang Suimou said: "Since the third brother pleaded, I will spare you once, and go down and prepare well." ”

After watching the city wall of Suzhou for a while, Zhang Suimou still decided to use the method of digging holes and blasting to break the city, and ordered the third army and the fifth army to take turns to feint to attack the northern city wall, and the first army was sweeping the formation.

He Chun felt that the strength of the short-haired siege was getting smaller and smaller, and the most rear-haired seemed to be perfunctory, so he ran to the city to set up a ladder, and after holding on for two or three moments, he immediately returned to the army, and Zhang Er was puzzled: "What kind of trick is this short-haired doing, it doesn't look like a siege!" ”

Feng Zicai smiled helplessly, "They must be digging tunnels outside the city, preparing to blow up the city wall." ”

Zhang Guoliang remembered that the defense of Pingnan County was to be blown through the city gate by Shorthair and fled in a hurry, and worried: "Is there a way to restrain it?" ”

He Chun was on an errand in the south of the Yangtze River in his early years, learned the details of geography, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, it just rained heavily yesterday and the day before yesterday, and all the underground is a dark river. ”

"Governor Qiyu, this place is really not suitable for blasting, we only dug two meters to the ground, and there is groundwater rising up, please punish the general." The battalion commander in charge of the blasting reported the results to Zhang Suimou.

Zhang Suimou couldn't think of any way, but to let the Third Army and the Fifth Army feint and turn into a strong attack, and let the First Army build ladders, crash cars, and stone throwers.

The tragic siege battle lasted for three days, Ling 18 saw that Suzhou could not be attacked for a long time, concealed Zhang Suimou, personally led the Fifth Army to attack the city, the morale of the siege troops was greatly boosted, all of them rushed to the ladder without fear of death, with a big knife in their mouths, and climbed up quickly with their hands and feet, seeing that they were about to approach the battlement, a row of muzzles suddenly appeared on it, Ling 18 had seen the power of foreign guns, and no matter how high he climbed, he jumped down from the ladder, and still felt a pain in his waist, fortunately there were two meat shields below, but his arms were bent and he was quickly carried down.

Li Xiucheng couldn't bear the waste of the army under the city of Suzhou, so he privately wrote a war report and sent it to Nanjing.

Li Yunzhong brought Zuo Zongtang, Zhang Weikun, and Lin Daji to the hall to receive the squire, seeing that no one had braids anymore, Li Yunzhong was very excited, and felt that he had the courage to cut off his braids, so he had no favor for the Qing court, unlike those old and young people in the city, who were unwilling to cut off the big braids on their heads.

"Everyone, be quiet, we have summoned everyone here today, there is something important to announce! It can be said that it is related to your future, so I hope you will consider it carefully before deciding! Lin Daji saw that the conference hall was talking and laughing, it was too unusual, and banged on the table and announced loudly.

"Little Lao'er greets the adults, I don't know what the important things the adults said? If you want to donate, Xiao Lao'er is willing to take the lead in donating. Zhou Yuanwai was also the first person to donate silver last time, and this time he was not far behind.

Li Yunzhong smiled mildly: "You have misunderstood, everyone knows that the Jiangnan camp outside the city has been broken by our army, there is no threat to Nanjing City, and the food and salary can be sent over on time, and from now on, there will be no need for everyone to donate silver and grain, even the money and food donated by everyone last time I am ready to return it to you." ”

"This ...... How can this be, that's our heart, how can we want to come back? The forester couldn't figure out Li Yunzhong's intentions, so it was better to decide not to.

"Yes, that's what we do to ...... adults."

…………

Many people have agreed, preferring to break the bank and avoid disasters rather than leave a handle.

Li Yunzhong was helpless, he didn't expect it to be so difficult to be a good person, "Since everyone insists, I won't force it, in order to repay everyone for their generosity, I will give you a chance to make a fortune, it depends on whether you can grasp it." ”

A group of squires were awe-inspiring, this Han King was really uneasy and kind, but fortunately he refused just now, and they all looked at Li Yunzhong in fear, for fear that he would say something outrageous and let them do it.

"What's wrong with everyone, don't believe what I'm saying? That's a good thing! Li Yunzhong looked at the quiet squire below in embarrassment, not understanding what he had said wrong just now.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han, the villain Lin Lingdong, is willing to accept the opportunity given to the villain by His Royal Highness, please speak clearly." Lin Yuanwai felt that King Han was not a capricious villain, and decided to take a risk.

Li Yunzhong looked at Lin Lingdong approvingly, remembered his appearance, and said: "Okay, since the forester is the first to accept it, I will make you rich, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, just come to me." ”

Everyone secretly scolded themselves for being stupid, and let the surnamed Lin take the lead, and when they saw the king of Han making a promise, they were all relieved. expressed his willingness to accept the kindness of the Han king.

Li Yunzhong explained: "Everyone knows that foreigners can make money by opening factories, don't you want to set up factories and do business? ”

Hu Yuanwai was surprised: "Does His Royal Highness the King of Han allow us to run an industry?" Won't be heavily taxed? ”

"That's what I'm going to announce, as long as you run a big business, you will be tax-free for three years, and after three years, you will also receive 10% of your profits as tax. All other items will be waived to ensure that your goods will circulate freely without hindrance in Dahan. In order to motivate them to pay for the establishment of a factory, Li Yunzhong can be said to have invested enough money.

What the! One of them broke the teacup by mistake, and then asked each other, all of them couldn't believe it, all dynasties and dynasties had extremely strict control over merchants, and no emperor had ever encouraged business, and now this kind of dream thing actually happened to them.

Lin Lingdong was the first to react, and asked cautiously: "I don't know what industry His Highness wants us to run?" What else are the requirements? ”

When everyone saw the forester asking questions that everyone was concerned about, they all looked at Li Yunzhong with blank eyes.

Li Yunzhong said: "It depends on how everyone chooses, our government does not interfere, but the government will purchase physical goods like you, of course, you have to pay, for example, if you want to set up a garment factory outside the forester, our military department will buy 200,000 military uniforms like you." You can also produce clothes that people usually wear and sell them. ”

"Two hundred thousand! Oh my God, when is this going to be produced? "Lin Lingdong is sluggish, he has never done such a big business.

Li Yunzhong explained: "Foreigners have machines that specialize in making clothes, which are hundreds of times faster than manpower, and you can go to Shanghai and Guangzhou to find those foreigner compradors to order a batch of machines, and call workers to learn to use them." ”

"Yes, yes...... The Han King is wise. Lin Lingdong also reflected, and when he saw that King Han also knew how to do business, he couldn't help but admire.

Li Yunzhong said to the rest: "You can also set up some flour mills, textile mills, and match factories...... In short, even if you can produce muskets and artillery, the government will not punish you, but will buy products from you. ”

"I also want to trouble you to go back, to your relatives and friends to introduce more of our Han policy, I welcome them to come to the Han to do business, never investigate whether they have helped the Qing court, and you can also see in advance: My Han has won many battles, sooner or later the world will be unified, and then you will all be regarded as the founding heroes, I will give you a fame, let you glorify the township."

Seeing off the excited squires, Li Yunzhong put his mind at ease, as long as there was a perfect industrial system, it would be easy to destroy the Qing Dynasty, and maybe then he would rely on the rich resources of the Chinese land to participate in the wave of carving up the world.
