Wang Yi's joining made Su Yan very happy, but because of the precept that he could not last a long time in the army, he could only replace the wine with tea, and drink a few more cups with Wang Yi.

Wang Yi's ability to command operations in history is not outstanding, but he has a very good ability in governing the army and base areas, and only Li Changxiang, Zhang Huangyan and Wang Yi's soldiers and horses under the command of Siming Mountain are able to strictly abide by military discipline and not disturb the people, and only Wang Yi's soldiers and horses are strong, and the base area is well organized, and for a time it became the largest and most prosperous anti-Qing stronghold in the southeast except Fujian.

However, in Su Yan's view, Wang Yi is not not bad at commanding operations, and the anti-Qing righteous army he pulled up in a short period of time can strictly abide by military discipline under his leadership, and his enemy is still at this time, and the Qing army that has not yet been corrupted can be fought back and forth, which is enough to prove that Wang Yi's military talent and management ability are both.

Now that Wang Yi has taken the initiative to join Su Yan's command, the system will also begin to influence him and improve his loyalty to himself, and when Su Yan wants to be the emperor and the founding of the country in the future, Wang Yi will not object.

Seeing this, some people may ask, since the people under Su Yan's command will be affected by the system's increased loyalty, will Huang An, the commander of the Zheng family's naval division who is now under Su Yan's command, be affected?

The answer is no, Huang An was only loaned to Su Yan by Zhu Chenggong for a period of time, and he was not Su Yan's direct subordinate, so the system would not affect him, and Wang Yi could not be compared.

In any case, Su Yan was very happy to be assisted by such a loyal person who could write and martial arts.

Contrary to Su Yan's happiness, Tian Xiong, the governor of Zhejiang in Ningbo City, was in a very bad mood.

The reason is that new Ming troops have appeared outside the Wangjing Gate and Yongfeng Gate in the west of the city, and a siege camp has been built outside the city gate, cutting off any access to the outside world, so that he doesn't know what happened to the messenger sent out a few days ago to ask for help.

However, when he found out that the Ming army outside the Yongfeng Gate was under the banner of Wang Yi, he knew that something was wrong.

Wang Yi and his people, has always been Tian Xiong as a trouble, he in order to exterminate Wang Yi led by the Siming Mountain rebels mobilized a number of soldiers and horses, but has never been able to completely exterminate Wang Yi, now is still in the Siming Mountains to encircle and suppress Jinhua General Soldier Ma Jinbao did not get his order to withdraw to Ningbo to join him, but let Wang Yi appear outside the city, Tian Xiong is difficult not to have a bad association.

At present, there are only more than 2,000 people under his command and more than 1,600 people under the Ningbo City Guard Association in Ningbo, plus more than 2,000 people under the command of Zhang Jie, the general soldier of Zhenhai who received orders to withdraw into Ningbo before the siege of the Ming army, a total of more than 5,000 people.

The Ming army outside the city alone has tens of thousands of troops under the command of Su Yan, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, plus 6,000 people in the west of the city and thousands of sailors on the Yongjiang River, the Ming army has an absolute superiority in strength.

In the Ningbo Admiral's Mansion, Tian Xiong paced irritably in front of the city defense map of Ningbo, thinking about how to resist the future siege of the Ming army, and at this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, and before he could turn his head to look, a general in armor broke in, hugged his fists and said: "Lord Admiral, the last general has just inspected from the city wall, and found that the Ming army outside the city is arranging artillery positions. ”

"So much?" Tian Xiong was taken aback and said, "What type of artillery are they?" ”

"A small number of Hongyi cannons, mainly Franc machine guns." Zhang Jie, the chief soldier of Zhenhai, replied.

"What about the Ming army of the other gates?"

"The Ming army on the other side of the Lingqiao Gate (East Gate) seems to have more than 20 Fran machine guns, and the Ming army outside the Wangjing Gate is not more than for the time being, but from the city wall to the outside, you can still see a lot of artillery traces, and the Ming army outside the Yongfeng Gate is not equipped with artillery." After speaking, Zhang Jie paused and reminded: "My lord, what can be seen at present is only the Hongyi cannon, the Franco cannon and other larger artillery, the number of tiger squat cannons will definitely be more, and the last general boldly deduces that there are at least hundreds of various artillery pieces in the hands of the Ming army." ”

"Shhhh

When Tian Xiong heard this, he couldn't help but gasp, hundreds of artillery, even if most of them were small artillery tiger squatting artillery, aiming at the city wall and bombarding indiscriminately, it could crush the military heart of the defenders.

"My lord......" Zhang Jie looked at Tian Xiong, his face hesitated, as if there was something difficult to say, Tian Xiong looked at his appearance and asked impatiently, "What's wrong?" ”

"My lord, the last general thinks it's better to surrender to the Ming army, the Manchurians took advantage of the chaos in the world to enter the pass, slaughtered a large number of people, has already provoked the anger of the heavens, and now the Ming army has an absolute advantage, and continuing to resist will only cause unnecessary casualties......"

Before Zhang Jie finished speaking, he was kicked to the ground by Tian Xiong, he screamed and fell to the ground, looking at the angry Tian Xiong in astonishment, the latter almost pointed at his nose, and scolded angrily: "As my courtier of the Qing Dynasty, how can you think of surrendering, the Ming army is besieging the city, at this critical juncture, the governor will not pursue the remarks that disturb the morale of the army for the time being, if there is a next time, behead the public!" ”

"Get out!"

Zhang Jie was terrified, and he didn't care about arguing, so he quickly got up and ran out with a roll, Tian Xiong looked at Zhang Jie's back and fled, his chest was still rising and falling, obviously really angry.

In other words, fear is also a factor that accounts for most of it.

"Whew-"

He took a deep breath and tried to stabilize his emotions, and when he finally calmed down, he shouted outside, "Someone." ”

"Your Excellency." The guards outside the door entered, holding their fists.

"You ......" Tian Xiong hesitated for a moment, but continued: "You take a few clever people to keep an eye on that Zhang Jie, and once he has the intention of surrendering or planning a mutiny, he will be killed on the spot." ”

"Whoa!"

The guards took the order.

After giving this order, Tian Xiong breathed a sigh of relief, as one of the masterminds who had held Zhu Yousong hostage and surrendered to the Qing court, Tian Xiong knew better than anyone the danger of traitors inside, and in order to avoid repeating Zhu Yousong's mistakes, he naturally had to pay more attention.

Attacking Zhang Jie directly will only cause panic to the army's heart, which is not conducive to the next battle, so he can only send someone to keep an eye on him, and after Zhang Jie reveals his handle, it is not too late to attack him.

Zhang Jie didn't know that he had been blacklisted by Tian Xiong, he endured the pain of being kicked to the ground by Tian Xiong just now, and couldn't suppress his resentment towards Tian Xiong in his heart.

He naturally knew the reason why Tian Xiong was unwilling to surrender, but he didn't have this concern, since Tian Xiong was unwilling to surrender on his own initiative, then he could only help Tian Xiong "surrender".
