Chapter 36 - Yangzhou
Next, Zhang Yun asked about Yan Yingyuan's army establishment, as well as the current materials, as well as the army's combat effectiveness and morale.
Immediately let Yan Yingyuan send out all the last bit of food, and after dawn, let tens of thousands of troops have a full meal and drive out of the city to fight a field battle!
Hearing Zhang Yun's almost commanding tone, Yan Yingyuan could not react before Shi Kefa burst into flames......
Zhang Yun looked back, the so-called loyal minister in front of him, sneered in his heart, usually talking about his heart, and reporting to the king when he died in a hurry, this sentence is to describe the Donglin party.
Donglin Party members like Shi Kefa, if they are asked to do practical things, they will definitely not be able to do it, give them a county order, they will be hollowed out by the people below, and even when they deal with government affairs, they have to ask the master to help them, which is simply useless.
It's just that he screams loudly, and whoever goes against them must be a traitor, such as Shi Kefa, who is scolding himself in front of him.
Zhang Yun, who knew their true faces, only felt that Shi Kefa was so disgusting at this moment!
is like Cao Huachun, a eunuch, because he was against the Donglin Party, he had already gone home to retire in Chongzhen for 12 years, but he was made up by the Donglin Party, and he was forced to say that he had already gone home to retire as a traitor who opened Beijing City and let Li Zicheng enter the city......
……
All kinds of despicable things happened to the Donglin party members, and more than half of the responsibility for the fall of the Ming Dynasty must have been caused by the Donglin party members.
Otherwise, when Yongle Emperor Zhu Di was still in power, the tax of the Ming Dynasty was twenty or thirty million taels of silver a year, but more than 200 years later, when it came to Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty's annual tax was only 4 million taels.
This kind of incredible thing only happened in the Ming Dynasty, but the Donglin party members are not ashamed!
For their various behaviors, Zhang Yun is very disgusted both in the future and now, especially at the moment when he is spraying his own Shi Kefa, Zhang Yun is even more disgusted!
I wanted to argue with him, but then I thought of the shamelessness of the Donglin Party members, especially the fact that Shi Kefa was still one of the leaders of the Donglin Party!
……
So after pondering for a while, Zhang Yun immediately stepped forward two steps and struck a knife, which made him lie down completely, and then immediately turned his head to look at Yan Yingyuan, who had an ugly face, Zhang Yun explained.
"The military situation is urgent, and the poor road has to make this decision, not to mention that the person in front of him can't do anything else except spray feces all over his mouth!"
"So the best option at the moment is to knock him unconscious, so we can start another plan......"
Although Zhang Yun explained it very clearly, Yan Yingyuan still stepped forward very worriedly, tested his breath with his fingers, and understood that what Zhang Yun said was true, so he finally acquiesced to Zhang Yun's behavior.
Zhang Yun smiled when he saw this, it seems that during the two-month cooperation period, Yan Yingyuan was not less angry with him, and at this moment, seeing that his life was not in danger, he didn't care so much......
After confirming that there was nothing major about him, Yan Yingyuan, who was relieved, hurriedly said: "The Manchu Tartars outside the city, together with the traitor troops, are three times more than the number of troops under Yan. ”
"With such a huge disparity in military strength, what method is the Dao Master going to use to eliminate this huge disparity?"
"If the Dao Leader is not sure, then it is impossible for Yan to cooperate with the Dao Chief, let alone obey the Dao Chief's indiscriminate orders, even if you don't mention the glory and wealth on your body."
"The hundreds of thousands of people in Yangzhou City, Yan will not sit idly by!"
Zhang Yun shook his head and said: "In the case that Huang Degong does not come to support you, Yangzhou City has been besieged for two months, and you who have no supplies at all, the day of breaking the city is not far away!" ”
"In this case, General Yan, you are still hesitating, do you still expect any miracle to happen?"
"You think Huang Degong will come to help you, but Poor Dao tells you that this is impossible at all, and those wastes in Nanjing City will definitely not let go of Huang Degong, this last straw ......"
"So we can only save ourselves at the moment, as for you to ask Poor Dao what is your certainty, you will come with your ears."
Zhang Yun told Yan Yingyuan about the farce that appeared in Nanjing City and all his actions in the two or three months when Chongzhen was stationed in Jiangyin City......
Yan Yingyuan was shocked after listening to it!
Although there have been some speculations in his heart for a long time, they have never been confirmed, and this kind of thing is very taboo, Wang Chengen naturally never told him, and as for Chongzhen, he would not tell him about it.
After listening to these secrets, Yan Yingyuan was still in a state of vertigo at this moment!
But Zhang Yun couldn't care so much, and hurriedly shook him awake and asked him to send all the little military rations left......
After distributing the rations and finishing all the expeditions, the sun was already on the sun.
Zhang Yun looked at Yan Yingyuan, who was unstoppable, knowing that he was still hesitating, plus he was very afraid of the consequences of failure!
In order to restore his fighting spirit, Zhang Yun had to speak again: "Since Poor Dao can kill Emperor Ge several times in the well-defended palace!" ”
"So today among the hosts, is it impossible to kill Duoduo, a brute with little tutoring?"
Yan Yingyuan smiled bitterly: "Don't tell the Taoist, Yan is really scared, especially if this battle is lost, the chain reaction will occur, Yan will definitely become a sinner in the Ming Dynasty......"
"If it weren't for the Dao Chief's telling Yan about those secrets, and understanding that the Dao Leader could easily take the rank of general among the ten thousand armies, Yan would not have risked his life!"
Seeing that Yan Yingyuan was still a little hesitant, Zhang Yun hurriedly said, "General Yan ......"
Who knew that Yan Yingyuan waved his hand to interrupt Zhang Yun's words, and after coughing twice, he said again: "The Taoist is an outsider, he doesn't care about glory and wealth, and he doesn't know how dangerous the swords, arrows, and gossip in this court are!" ”
"Let's put it this way. This time, Yan opened the city to fight against the Manchu Tartars, and if he lost, it was easy to say, he died a hundred times, and it was no big deal. ”
"But if he wins, then Yan will be in big trouble!"
After Yan Yingyuan finished saying this, he looked at Zhang Yun's somewhat worried eyes and said with a smile: "The reason why Yan agreed to the request of the Taoist is because there is no food in Yangzhou City, and there will be no reinforcements, so there is no point in holding on any longer, after all, it will fail, and everyone will die meaninglessly......"
"Second, if Duoduo is still alive, it will not be a good thing for my Ming Dynasty, so even if Yan is defeated in this battle, as long as the Dao Chief can take the opportunity to kill Duoduo in front of the battle, then the lives of Yan and hundreds of thousands of people will be sacrificed worthwhile!"
"Of course it's the worst possible outcome, but what if we win!"
"Yan has been in awe of the Daoist's supernatural powers for a long time, and he is very confident......"
