Chapter 2 The city of Suzhou was frustrated

Zhao Liewen took the information he had collected and found Li Yunzhong and said: "Your Highness, these are the records I have browsed through the group books in recent years, and they are all some information about the entry of the Qing army.

Li Yunzhong took it and looked at it carefully:

In the prefectures and counties of the "Shizu Record", there are those who can cut their hair and surrender to Shun, open the city and pay money, that is, with Juelu, and the world is rich and noble. If there is any resistance, as soon as the soldiers arrive, the jade will be burned and slaughtered.

"Donghualu" does not follow the system of this dynasty to shave their hair and change their clothes, and there is no forgiveness for killing.

The people and thieves are mixed, and the jade is inseparable. or slaughter the whole city, or slaughter the men and keep the women

Zhenjiang prefect notice: One person does not shave his hair and the whole family is beheaded, and one family does not shave the whole village

Tong Yangliang, the general soldier of Datong: The three cities of Datong, Shuozhou, and Hunyuan have been slaughtered by the king, and the people do not exist

Duoduo, the prince of Yu, personally ordered the slaughter of Yangzhou, and did not seal the knife for ten days. plundered one hundred and three Han women and sacrificed them to the imperial court.

…………

"Huifu has a heart, it is so detailed!" Li Yunzhong sighed, and then asked: "Since you can see Huifu, then other people can too, why are those scholars still so loyal to the imperial court?" ”

Zhao Liewen shook his head and said with a wry smile: "On the one hand, it's none of your business, and two hundred years have passed. On the other hand, the imperial court bought people's hearts and forbidden the publication of such books in the world. Most of these were discovered by accident when I was cleaning the ancestral ancestral hall, and most of the people in the world were blinded. ”

Li Yunzhong said: "We might as well set up a newspaper to publish these materials and our army's policies, so that the people can understand us, and expose the atrocities committed by the Qing court when they entered the customs, and our Han will have the moral upper hand." ”

Zhao Liewen thought that the newspaper was the official newspaper issued by the imperial court, and asked: "It's just that most of the people in the market are illiterate and won't spend money to buy these official newspapers." ”

This is a problem, if you want the people to be literate, you need to set up education, and you need a large number of scholars to run education, Li Yunzhong asked: "Huifu, what do you think?" It can allow these materials to be circulated among the people on a large scale. ”

Zhao Liewen thought about the meeting and said: "What the people in the market like is nothing more than teahouses and operas, it is better for His Royal Highness to send someone to tell stories in the teahouse, and then ask someone to make up some operas about the massacre of the Qing army, so that the people will be afraid of the Qing army." ”

"This method is good, you will print a good newspaper and send it to the storyteller in the teahouse, let them preach repeatedly, you can ask Lin Daji for the manpower you need, I want to see the results in the shortest possible time." Li Yunzhong couldn't wait to command. Suzhou City

Feng Zicai saw that the city wall of Suzhou was in sight, and shouted to the convoy behind: "Everyone work harder, we will arrive in Suzhou soon, the official is talking, and each person who arrives in Suzhou will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!" ”

The porter pulling the cart let out bursts of cheers, pushed the cart harder, and headed towards Suzhou.

They are all porters begging for food at the docks in Shanghai, and they may not be able to earn ten taels of silver at the end of the year, I heard that there is a court official who wants to transport a batch of goods to Nanjing to reward ten taels of silver, although they feel dangerous, but there are still many people who grit their teeth to take this single job, who knows that just out of Shanghai, this official will be transferred to Suzhou, saying that there is no need to go to Nanjing again.

Listening to the report of the guards that the general Feng Zicai had returned from Shanghai, He Chun and Zhang Guoliang hurriedly went out of the city to greet them. Especially Zhang Guoliang's red face, Feng Zicai was originally a general under him, and now he is not grateful to his lord in times of crisis, and he rushed to meet him, which does not show that he Zhang Guoliang knows how to make good use of people!

Feng Zicai saw that there was Jiangnan Admiral Hechun standing at the gate of the city, and Zhang Guoliang, the chief soldier, immediately stepped forward, jumped down with a sharp jump, and knelt down and said: "The lowly Feng Zicai has seen the Admiral and the Chief Soldier. ”

He Chun was moved to help him up, "Nangan, it's hard work, why didn't the assistant come back with you?" ”

Feng Zicai said: "Lord Changgui said that he will be based in Shanghai, continue to deal with foreigners, and raise money locally. ”

Zhang Guoliang pointed to the five big cars parked behind him and asked, "What are all the things on it, why are they still covered with tarpaulins?" ”

Feng Zicai became excited: "My lord, I bought 500 foreign guns, 2 cannons, and ten barrels of gunpowder from a foreigner in Shanghai, and the foreigner said that this batch of arms was going to be sent to Nanjing to be sold to the thieves. ”

He Chun nodded approvingly, "You did a good job, hurry up and send them to the soldiers defending the city, the thieves can come to attack the city at any time, with this batch of foreign guns, the defense of Suzhou is a little more certain." ”

Feng Zicai had already heard in Jiaxing County that the Jiangnan camp under the city of Nanjing was broken, and Xiang Rong led the remnants of the army to retreat to Suzhou, so he turned around halfway.

Zhang Suimou was in high spirits these days, leading three armies of nearly 40,000 people from Nanjing to Suzhou, along the way Danyang, Jiangyin, Jingjiang, Changzhou, Wuxi looked at the wind and descended, quite the Han King went down to the south of the Yangtze River, and gradually became complacent.

Li Xiucheng saw that the army was walking chaotically and was about to arrive in Suzhou, so he hesitated, but still found Zhang Suimou and said: "Dudu, do you want to camp and repair, and attack Suzhou again tomorrow?" ”

Zhang Suimou reprimanded impatiently: "The soldiers are very fast, and order the army to speed up and rest when they arrive in Suzhou." ”

Li Xiucheng worried: "However, the city wall of Suzhou is strong, and it can not be broken for a while, in case the enemy army in the city sneaks up......"

"Bastard! I'm the Governor, you're not! Since you are afraid, let the Fifth Army attack the city, and you can lead the army to the rear and watch. Zhang Suimou didn't pay attention to generals like Li Xiucheng and Li Shixian, who were promoted too quickly.

He Chun heard that the short hair was less than twenty miles away from Suzhou, so he hurriedly beckoned Zhang Guoliang to the city wall of the north city to watch.

Seeing the chaotic formation of the short-haired army from a distance, Zhang Guoliang was overjoyed and asked: "Lord Admiral, please allow the last general to lead his men and horses out of the city to defeat the enemy's spirit!" ”

He Chun is reluctant to make extraneous branches, "The short-haired soldiers are in full bloom, and it may not be easy to win!" ”

Zhang Guoliang looked excited, "Don't worry, my lord, the short-haired army is carried away, the formation is scattered, and the end will be guaranteed by the head, and they will return to Suzhou after a small victory, and they will never love to fight." ”

"Exactly! It's good to boost the morale of the army, remember not to be too far from the city gate, I can send troops to meet it. Kazuharu also felt that there was a cheap place to stand, and it didn't look like Shorthair's trick to lure the enemy.

Chaoyong was recruited by Zhang Guoliang, in March, Ling 18 captured Changzhou, that is, Chaoyong recovered Changzhou after a bloody battle, Zhang Guoliang returned to the Jiangnan camp but did not take them, so the establishment is quite complete, with a total of six battalions and 3,000 people. Zhang Guoliang carefully selected 800 people in Chao Yong, and ambushed at the north gate, waiting for the enemy to approach.

The vanguard of the attack on Suzhou was Lin Shaozhang of the Fifth Army, who was also carried away by the series of victories, feeling that the defenders of Suzhou had long since fled, and his task was only to open the city gates and enlarge the army into the city.

Looking at the slowly opening city gate, Huang Bo, the head of the regiment who rushed ahead, signaled to stop left and right, looking at the gap getting bigger and bigger, and the flag "Chaoyong" that was gradually revealed, Huang Bo said secretly: Not good. Suddenly the six gods had no owner, and he was shocked and frightened, when he was in Changzhou, half of his regiment was annihilated by thousands of tides, and he was driven out of Changzhou, which was too impressive. Zhang Guoliang ignored the short hair that was stunned in place, raised his big sword, charged ahead, and eight hundred strong people followed closely behind, and the two armies met in a short time.

Huang Bo hurriedly commanded everyone to form a circle and cover each other, and the casualties gradually decreased, but he was still pressed and beaten by Chao Yong, and prayed in his heart that the army behind would come to support as soon as possible.

Zhang Guoliang looked at it for a while, and saw a man in yellow calling back and forth in the short-haired army, looking like a big official, and he went to him to kill him left and right.

Huang Bo felt a murderous aura coming, lowered his head to avoid it, a knife followed the top of his head, he didn't have time to think about it, he swung the knife and slashed at the thigh of the comer, Zhang Guoliang blocked with a knife, and the two knives collided with a string of cremation, and the two had time to look at each other.
