Chapter 316: Dongying
When Lian Jie Shenhe's excerpt went to the imperial court, the news of "civil and military discord" in Nanjing City not only spread far and wide, but flew into the enemy's camp.
They have been attacking Nanjing City for a day and a night, and they are still the same as before, and they have not been able to attack for a long time. The walls of Nanjing are now covered with charred black human hair and grease, and the disgusting smell that emanates lingers for miles.
Gong Lao, the former commander of the Fuzhou guard, sat in the camp tent with a big horse golden knife, he was wounded during the siege of the city a few days ago, because this time he did not go to the city of Nanjing, but only discussed with Lao Jiang in the tent.
"Nanjing has been fighting for almost a month, why hasn't it been beaten yet." Gong Laoba's wound was painful, and he was a little irritable, but he was not very happy.
Lao Jiang snorted and said, "Nanjing is Nanjing after all, and it is different from the city next to it. If it's really that easy to fight, how do you do it to accompany the capital? You just talk about it, it is the outer Guo and the inner city, and there is still an imperial city in the inner city, and the city gates of the outer Guo alone are made up of eighteen, such a city, when have you ever seen it again. ”
"Of course I do." Gong Laoba looked at the charcoal basin burning in the tent anxiously, felt that it was too hot, and wanted to extinguish it. But he did this kind of thing yesterday, and the result was that after a few incense sticks, he called someone to come over and light it again, which annoyed him himself, so he didn't plan to move the charcoal basin this time, and it was hot for a while, maybe it would be good: "Then tell me what to do now." ”
"Besiege the city." Lao Jiang said, "The book of soldiers says 'ten rules of siege', let's transfer the soldiers to Nanjing, surround them without fighting, and one day they will be killed." ”
Gong Laoba frowned and said "tsk", but did not speak.
Lao Jiang continued: "Isn't there a civil and military discord in this Nanjing city, I estimate that after besieging the city for a period of time, there will definitely be people who can't hold it and want to surrender, and then it will be too late for infighting and grain and grass consumption, and the soldiers in the city are all exhausted, and it will not be difficult to take Nanjing City again." ”
Gong Laoba nodded, and finally said, "What you said is reasonable. ”
He twisted his head very irritably, and finally said in a deep voice: "When we enter Nanjing City, we will secretly kill those Dongyingyang devils." ”
Lao Jiang didn't speak, just listened to where Gong Lao Ba was and scolded extremely unhappy: "Lao Tzu shouldn't have gotten on the thief ship of that group of Oriental devils in the first place." Our original good-natured officials forced the people to rebel and do the right thing for heaven, but now what has become of it...... Ah, now they all say that we are traitors. ”
Lao Jiang still didn't speak, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart.
So this Gong Laoba raised his head and asked: "Old Jiang, what's wrong with you, you don't even let out a fart?" ”
"I have a question." Lao Jiang frowned and thought, "Have you ever thought about why this Oriental devil came to us, logically speaking, we should be on the same page, even if we oppose the imperial court, we may not be able to accept them." Didn't they think that one day we would get impatient, just like you and I plan today, to get rid of them completely? ”
"What else could it be, thick-skinned." Gong Laoba unscrewed the kettle and took a sip, scolding and scolding, "Who fetched the water for Lao Tzu today, there is so much salt in the water, this is as salty as drinking seawater." ”
"I don't think so." Lao Jiang half-leaned on the table and stood.
Gong Laoba: "That's definitely not right, how can there be such a salty death of people." ”
Lao Jiang rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily: "Are you injured and threw your brain under Nanjing City?" I know if I can talk well if I get angry. I said it's an Oriental devil, can't you think about it? ”
Lao Jiang is not very angry, but now he suddenly has such a big anger, which makes Gong Laoba a little surprised, so Gong Laoba flattened his mouth and said: "Their group of people, sneaky in the town, has never been right." ”
"Let me ask you, what do we want to do now, or what do you want to do after you take down the city of Nanjing?" Lao Jiang asked Gong Lao Badao.
"Yes, of course...... Of course, I will continue to go all the way north, take the Beijing Division, and change the day. "Gong Lao Badao.
"And what did these Oriental devils tell us?" Lao Jiang knocked on the table, looked at Gong Laoba's eyes and said, "If you think about it, don't you feel that something is wrong?" ”
"They told me that after conquering the city of Nanjing, they would rest and recuperate in the southeast coastal area, and not move north first." Gong Laoba frowned, "Is this what you want us to rule with the imperial court?" Does it benefit them? ”
"I don't think so, and I think it's strange that they gave us such a plan." Lao Jiang pinched his chin, which had a stiff short beard, which was strange and piercing, "Now if we go all the way north, maybe we will have a chance to conquer a few more cities." While I admit that there is nothing wrong with letting us recuperate in Jiangnan, I don't think we should stop at least at this time. If we want to fight, it will be like a bamboo all the way north, but if we want to stop, then we can only be beaten passively, waiting for the court to destroy us. Besides, now the people who are fighting are all the guards of Daheng at the beginning, and when they stop for a year or two, the blood and energy on their bodies are gone, so how can they fight? Isn't it easier to be recruited? ”
"They should also know that no matter how Daheng changes the day and changes the country name, it is also ours. They come to us for help, so we are sure that we will not unload the mill and kill the donkey, and slaughter the man when they run out of their soldiers. When Lao Jiang was thinking, he always didn't know where to put his hand, but now he took it off his chin and stood with his arms crossed, "They don't really think that we believe the nonsense that 'when the day changes, I hope you will return us to our free treaty ports'?" If they really had such a small attempt, they wouldn't be tied to outlaws like us. Now that it looks like their purpose is very strange, I don't even know if we are being led by the nose by the nose. ”
When Gong Laoba heard this, he also lowered his head and thought about it, but after thinking about it for a while, he didn't have a clue, so he rubbed his hair irritably, frowned, and said, "Then what should I do now?" If you don't kill them, can there be a way? I mean, really, when we enter the city of Nanjing, we don't have to cooperate with that group of Oriental devils anymore, what about unloading the mill and killing donkeys, after all, it is a foreign race, and if we kill it, we may be able to strengthen the prestige of our army. ”
Lao Jiang's expression is not much different from Gong Laoba's now, and he also thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "Okay." ”
