Hu Mengjun escorted twenty cannons all the way to Luzhou City, handed over the cannons to the commander-in-chief Li Desheng, and asked cautiously: "I don't know how long it will take to capture Luzhou City?" ”

Looking at Hu Mengjun's cautious appearance, Li Desheng asked, "What's the matter, Governor Hu is in a hurry?" This Luzhou has become an isolated city, and it won't last long, and when Jiang Zhongyuan is the head, you can take office. ”

Hu Mengjun said with a smile: "When the emperor ascends the throne, the governor will remove this great trouble for the emperor, and the emperor will be happy. ”

"Ha Lu Ha ......" Li Desheng is also very proud, the battle achievements are not as good as the skill, who let him catch up with the emperor to ascend the throne and call the emperor this happy day, excitedly replied: "Lord Hu has a heart, the Qing army in the city is only a few thousand people, with these twenty Western cannons, even Beijing has also been defeated, this small Luzhou City, breaking the city is a matter of overnight!" ”

Hu Mengjun echoed: "I'm afraid Jiang Zhongyuan is now in a dilemma of life and death, he has a great enmity with the emperor, surrender is death, stick to the city, after breaking the city, it will still be death, early death and late death." ”

Jiang Zhongyuan is very entangled now, he can't understand why he has no reinforcements for Lu, is his dignified governor of Anhui going to die in this small city of Luzhou?

Wu Enze's lips were chapped, his face was sallow, and he said to Jiang Zhongyuan weakly, "My lord, all the livestock in the city were eaten up three days ago, and the brothers are hungry, how can they defend the city?" Please let the squires in the city open a warehouse and put grain, otherwise the brothers will rob it openly. ”

Jiang Zhongyuan maintained a wooden expression, looked at the same wooden soldiers on the city wall, and closed his eyes in pain. He grew up in a well-to-do family, no less than the squires of the city. However, there was a riot in the mob, and he Jiang Zhong came from raising food and salaries to recruit villagers to suppress bandits. I never thought that there would be such a squire in the Qing Dynasty, and he would still guard that little bit of food until he died.

Liu Changyou knew the stakes better than Wu Enze, opposed the use of violence, and truthfully told his thoughts: "The laws of the Qing Dynasty, those who disturb the people die, not to mention the robbery of the squire, even if you hold Luzhou City and defeat the rebels, it is not good for Lord Futai." On the contrary, there is a danger of dismissal and death. ”

Seeing that his lord was silent, Wu Enze punched on the battlements of the city wall, and the blood stained the city wall along his fingers, and repeated the facts in his mouth: "The three thousand Chu Yong who came to Jiangxi at the beginning, two thousand died in Nanchang City, and the five hundred people who brought Anhui have also died more than half of them in the past few days. It's to protect these moths! Or for the Qing Dynasty to defend this Luzhou City! Reinforcements wandered in Lu'an and Fengtai, and they couldn't be saved when they saw death! There were more than 2,000 garrisons throughout the city. There are thousands of shorthairs under the city, densely packed ......"

Liu Changyou retorted: "The mob Zhang Lexing in Maozhou is in rebellion, and the monk Greenqin is stationed in Fengtai, which is also to prevent them from joining up with Shorthair. Lord Lu'an Lu has also done his best, as long as we stick to Luzhou, the imperial army will definitely come to us. ”

Jiang Zhongyuan shouted angrily: "Enough! What kind of noise have you become! Wu Zhizhou, you led a battalion of officers and soldiers to invite all the squires in the city to the government office. I'm talking to them. ”

Wu Enze heard that he was inviting the troops, and replied excitedly: "Don't worry, my lord." I promise to bring them all over if they don't have any left! ”

Two hours later

"What do these Qiu Ba want to do? Rush straight into my house and arrest me! ”

"Insulting Sven, what kind of system!"

"Folks. Let's boycott the surname Jiang together! Don't give him a grain of grain! ”

"Yes, yes, the short-haired army is strictly disciplined, and we don't have to worry about breaking the city, this Jiang Futai will not be good at resting!"

"What are you afraid of! The surname Jiang wants to pull us to the end together, and do his big dream of spring and autumn, my family is seventy-five, and he is single, how can he compare with us! ”

……

Jiang Zhongyuan tried his best to laugh out loud, and said to the indignant squire: "You are all the pillars of my Qing Dynasty, and now that the situation is critical, I have no benefit to entertain everyone, so I can only serve a cup of tea, please forgive me for the neglect!" ”

The squire was silent, intending to respond to the changes with the same.

Jiang Zhongyuan was not discouraged, and still planned to persuade him with good words: "The short-haired siege of the city, the officers and soldiers fought for several days, more than half of the casualties were lost, and the grain and grass stored in the city were consumed. ”

The squires were still silent, each looking in different directions, but none of them looked at Jiang Zhongyuan.

Wu Enze saw that they were unstoppable, he couldn't bear it, pulled out his waist knife, and shouted angrily: "Toast and don't eat and drink, don't blame me for not being emotional, whoever dares to sacrifice less than 1,000 quintals of food today, don't want to walk out of this door!" ”

"This is blackmail, how is it good?"

"A thousand loads of grain is small, if the Han army enters the city and settles the accounts after the autumn, won't it be in vain to give up their lives."

"Everyone is united, I don't believe that the surname Jiang really dares to do it!"

As if he had reached an agreement, the squire looked at Jiang Zhongyuan with wide eyes, but no one wanted to be this bird.

"Boom"

"Boom"

Jiang Zhongyuan was startled and shouted: "Where to shoot, where to shoot!" ”

Wu Enze has been in battle for a long time, and when he heard this loud cannon, he was flustered: "What kind of cannon is this?" It's bigger than the movement of a 2,000-pound cannon, is it a 10,000-pound cannon! ”

"Everyone, run, the thieves have entered the city!" The squire rushed up, grabbed the door, and fled.

"My lord, it's not good, the thieves blew up the city wall, and the brothers can't hold on!"

Chu Yong brought by Jiang Zhongyuan was loyal, and he did not forget to protect the Lord when he was alive and dead.

Wu Enze instructed them: "Quickly protect the adults and withdraw, the cannon will hit here soon." ”

"Boom"

A cannonball landed at the entrance of the government office, blowing up the Qing soldiers who had just gone out on their backs, and their flesh and blood were blurred.

Jiang Zhongyuan, who was held up by two personal soldiers, held his sword high in his left hand and shouted, "Kill the enemy!" ”

"Boom Boom"

A cannonball landed right next to Wu Enze, and in an instant, there were no bones left, and he disappeared into this world.

"Lord Wu is dead! Lord Wu was blown up and killed...... "The Qing soldiers fled for their lives in a panic, throwing swords, spears, flags, and clothes all over the way......

Jiang Zhongyuan was caught in the crowd in a daze, and slowly there were fewer and fewer people around him, until he was the only one left, looking at the leisurely river, a dead body floated on the river from time to time, and he was immediately disheartened, and hated these rich and unkind squires to the extreme, and read:

Mourn this poor man's hard work, and the abundance of years is only enough to pay tithes.

This year is no longer looking back, and the ravines are filled with white bones.

But when the rich are worried, who will pity the poor for hunger?

Once the poor are driven by hunger, the rich will not be able to live in peace

Jiang Zhongyuan's long sword was lost, and he jumped into the river in desperation, but did not float up for a long time. (To be continued......)
