Chapter 41 - News of the Battle of Yangzhou
End of May 1645.
The city of Nanjing was finally lifted from martial law, and Zhang Yun also mixed into the city.
There was no choice, immediately returned to Chongzhen's mansion for him, but strolled through the city of Nanjing......
There are many things that Zhang Yun didn't understand, such as what happened to the Battle of Yangzhou in the end? These days, he is either hiding in the mountains to recuperate, or Zhang Yun, who is in a hurry, desperately wants to know!
Originally, Zhang Yun wanted to find a restaurant to sit down and listen to others slowly, but after thinking about it, most of the people who went to the restaurant were ordinary people, and they might not be able to know the specific news......
Walking aimlessly, I came to the Qinhuai River after a while, I thought that Yangzhou was so close to Nanjing, and Nanjing City was also under martial law for so long, this river would be a lot more deserted.
But Zhang Yun, who walked to the river, found that the painting boats on the Qinhuai River at this moment were endless......
Shaking his head, Zhang Yun, who didn't know how to express his feelings, was depressed, so he could only continue to walk until a green building came into view'Meixiang Building'.
Seeing this green building, Zhang Yun's spirits were lifted, there was once a very famous woman who survived in this building.
However, maybe she is still here now, after all, King Fu did not succeed in ascending the throne, so naturally he did not forcibly occupy her!
Of course, Li Xiangjun or something is still forgotten, Zhang Yun naturally will not join in the fun.
Besides, now that his life is still in the hands of the system, he really doesn't have the heart to find any women, let alone find such a woman with a high degree of trouble, such as Li Xiangjun......
But Zhang Yun still walked in, even if he was afraid that he wouldn't stay long in this time and space, and he didn't have the heart to tease Qin Huai Bayan, but it didn't matter if he went up to the Qinglou!
And seeing Zhang Yun walking straight towards Meixianglou, the turtle slaves waiting in front of the gate immediately greeted him with blood, and said a word to uncle......
didn't follow the advice of these turtle slaves to go to a private room, but sat down in the lobby, ordered two singers and a few side dishes casually, and Zhang Yun sat here and waited slowly for dark.
If those so-called scholars who talk loudly come here to discuss national affairs, then they can analyze the information they want......
The melodious sound of the pipa has been ringing in the ears non-stop, and the two singers who are in charge of playing the piano looked at Zhang Yun very strangely, sitting from afternoon to evening, Meixianglou gradually became lively, and the dishes on the table had already had to be changed a few times, but I never saw the son in front of him, he had any other actions, and he ignored the flirting of his sisters......
"Ahh
A singer suddenly let out a cry of pain, Zhang Yun couldn't help but look back, it turned out that the two singers had been playing for an afternoon, and the pipa at this time was finally broken, and even the singer hurt her fingers.
After all, he had served himself for several hours, so Zhang Yun smiled when he saw this scene and said, "Forget it if the pipa is broken, or you will go down ...... too"
Zhang Yun took out the silver as he spoke, ready to reward the two singers, but then he saw the two people with very panicked expressions!
I couldn't help but feel my heart move, and I instantly understood what they were afraid of!
Now let these two singers go down. After that, I was afraid that the old bustard of this Meixianglou would let them go elsewhere and continue to serve other guests......
Thinking of this, Zhang Yun's heart softened!
After a moment of thought, he said: "I can't play the piano anymore, I will always accompany the story, so stay and continue to serve me, okay?" ”
Zhang Yun winked at the two singers as he spoke, and the singer with an injured finger was already in a mess and didn't see it...... On the contrary, it was another singer who was not injured and smiled gratefully at Zhang Yun.
Maybe it was to thank Zhang Yun, or maybe it was something else, after the two singers sat down, they took out eighteen kinds of martial arts and had nothing to say, always trying to make Zhang Yun happy.
"Haha......"
Just as Zhang Yun's table was laughing, several people dressed as scholars stepped on the last sunset, and Shi Shiran walked into Meixiang Building.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yun's spirits perked up, and the people he was waiting for finally came, not only a few of them, but a large group of scholars behind him, calling friends and friends, walked in in groups.
Rich people naturally go to private rooms or even go to the second floor, but there are so many scholars who like to visit the Qinglou, and those who don't have money still account for the vast majority of the proportion!
In addition, Zhang Yun's table, the location is very wonderful, all the discussions on the entire first floor, as long as Zhang Yun wants to listen, can basically be heard, plus these scholars do not mean to be low-key, they are all talking loudly.
As the most recent thing, the biggest thing, the battle of Yangzhou, naturally came out of their mouths slowly, of course, most of them are boasting, what, if you use me, how will it be...... Anyway, from ancient times to the present, they don't have to pay taxes for talking big, so they are here to enjoy themselves.
Zhang Yun took out some of the words they boasted about, as well as their exaggerated other languages, and slowly heard what he wanted from these chats......
An hour later, Zhang Yun finally understood the process behind the Battle of Yangzhou...... After Duoduo ran to Huai'an, he naturally had no way to continue to command the army.
At the same time, Geng Zhongming, who was afraid of death, naturally would not continue to lead the army to Yangzhou, leaving only one Kong Youde, just on the day Zhang Yun went to war, Kong Youde's main force was annihilated by one or two hundred thousand people.
What made Kong Youde even worse was that when Zhang Yun's pursuer Duoduo ran in the direction of Huai'an City, it didn't take long for the Manchu Tartars who were under Yangzhou City to see that their Prince Ying had not returned for a long time!
Worried, they also left Kong Youde behind and ran towards Huai'an City......
So Kong Youde was completely beaten by Yan Yingyuan!
Because he couldn't withstand Yan Yingyuan's offensive, and there were no reinforcements left and right, after two or three hours of fighting, Kong Youde was the first to run away, and his traitor subordinates immediately followed suit!
When Kong Youde regained his foothold and gathered the remnants of the defeated generals 30 miles away from Yangzhou City, he only gathered more than 10,000 small soldiers......
After spraying blood, Kong Youde no longer dared to go to Yangzhou City to spread wilderness, so he took more than 10,000 remnants of his defeated soldiers and ran all the way back to Huai'an City, and went to his master to cry!
In this way, Yangzhou City, which had been besieged for almost two months, was naturally lifted, and at the same time, Nanjing City, which got the news, was naturally lifted from martial law.
At present, all the troops directly under the wild boar skin, as well as Kong Youde and Geng Zhongmin, and all the traitor troops under them are all concentrated in Huai'an City, and they are in a dilemma for a while!
……
The war was won, and these scholars were naturally very happy, as if they had won the war, and as the night became deeper and deeper, there were more and more people in Meixianglou, and naturally, it became more noisy.
Originally, it was nothing, but the more they talked about it, the more outrageous it became. Zhang Yun frowned angrily several times, and even wanted to stand up and teach them a lesson!
