Chapter 140: An Envoy from the City

"Outside the mountain, Qingshan Building, outside the building, when will the West Lake sing and dance be closed?

The warm wind smokes the tourists drunk, and makes Hangzhou Bianzhou. ”

Looking at the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, Su Yan couldn't help but chant a song by the Southern Song Dynasty poet Lin Sheng's "Title Lin'an Residence".

The beauty of the West Lake, in his previous life, he often knew a little bit from the text, when he could only fantasize about the beautiful scenery of the West Lake from the thin text, he could not personally visit, in this life he was finally able to see the beauty of the West Lake, and did not have to squeeze with the crowds, the West Lake flowed quietly there, sparkling under the sunshine, very beautiful.

The only thing that spoils the scenery is probably only the Hangzhou Mancheng that stands on the edge of the West Lake, Hangzhou Mancheng was officially divided last year, it can only be said that the location chosen by the dog Tartar is very good, and the family members stationed in the Eight Banners live directly in the lake-view room, and they can see the scenery of the West Lake every day.

Turning his eyes back from the body of the city, Su Yan left here with the guards, and went to the Yuewang Temple located on the edge of the West Lake to worship Yue Wumu, the Yuewang Temple was last repaired, or in the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing, it was ordered by Hu Zongxian to repair, nearly a hundred years have passed, and because of the war, the temple is somewhat deserted.

After worshipping the statue of Yue Fei, Su Yan turned around and walked out of the temple, and instructed Chen Ying, who was following him: "Go find a few craftsmen to repair the Yue Wang Temple, you don't need to wait until after the war, go find it now." ”

"Whoa." Chen Ying clenched her fists and took her life.

After Chen Ying left, Su Yan looked at the statue of Yue Fei again, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If there is a Yue Wumu in Nanming, I don't know if history will be rewritten." ”

After speaking, he thought of Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, and was slightly stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that even if it appears, it will be dragged back by the party and government within the court." ”

Sighing, Su Yan shook his head again and walked forward, but he only took a few steps, and the system that had been silent in his mind for a long time finally moved again.

[New Mission (1): Recovering Hangzhou Mansion.]

……

[New Mission (2): Recover the whole province of Zhejiang.]

Description: Most of the province of Zhejiang has been recovered, please increase the progress and move towards the goal of recovering the whole province!

Mission Rewards: 1 System Upgrade, 1 Admiral]

……

For two consecutive tasks, Su Yan's footsteps stopped in mid-air for a second, and then put it down.

Compared with the first task, or the reward of the second task makes him care more about the opportunity to upgrade the system, and he is looking forward to what level it can be upgraded.

But looking forward to it, if you really want Su Yan to take Hangzhou Mansion now, it will be really difficult.

In the past ten days, the Ming army has not taken the initiative to attack the city except for the occasional cannon on the city wall, because Su Yan is not completely sure, the troops in Hangzhou have been as high as more than 16,000 people after Li Shutai's collection, and the Ming army outside the city is only more than 13,000 people, not counting the punishment camp.

Although the Qing army did not take the initiative to go out of the city, after these ten days of observation, they also found that the Ming army outside the city was insufficient, especially after they found that the Ming army's strength was mainly concentrated in Fengshan Gate, Qiantang Gate and Wulin Gate, and only a small number of soldiers and horses were left outside the other seven gates for surveillance, Li Shutai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He is fully confident that he will hold Hangzhou City, and the current situation is that as long as there are no internal ghosts in the city, then Hangzhou City can defend until Boluo's reinforcements go south, as long as the reinforcements arrive, no matter how brave the Ming army is, it is impossible to beat the Qing army that is several times its own.

Su Yan also understood this, but he couldn't think of a way to quickly attack the city, concentrating artillery to collapse a city wall and then launching a fierce attack was a way, but the Qing army in the city had fierce firepower, and the Ming army would suffer heavy losses if it launched a strong attack.

Therefore, Su Yan would not rashly consume precious troops until he found a suitable siege method.

……

Late that night, Su Yan, who was still asleep, was suddenly woken up, he opened his eyes and saw that it was Chen Ying shaking himself, and he couldn't help but ask a little unpleasantly, "What's wrong?" What happened on the big night. ”

Chen Ying didn't retreat because of Su Yan's tone, he said with some joy in his tone: "Supervisor, the sentry outside the Qingbo Gate has caught a person who slipped out of the city, and that person claims to be a close confidant of Chen Xinyou, the garrison of Hangzhou, and wants to see you. ”

"The people guarding Hangzhou?" When Su Yan heard this keyword, his drowsiness was immediately dispelled, and he got up directly from the bed and said, "Can you find it out?" ”

"He was carrying a token on him, and after inspection, it was indeed a Hangzhou garrison order." Chen Ying took a step back and replied.

Su Yan thought for a moment after hearing this, and said, "Okay, you take him to the big tent and wait, and I'll go over in a while." ”

"Whoa." Chen Ying promised to come down.

It didn't take long for Su Yan to hurriedly enter the big tent, as soon as he entered, he saw a man kneeling on the ground with a slender pigtail on the back of his head, as soon as the man saw Su Yan come in, he judged his identity from his clothes, and immediately knelt on the ground, and said: "The villain's name is Chen Yan, and he was ordered by Chen Xinyou, the Hangzhou City Guard Association, to go out of the city to deliver the handwritten letter of my family to the Governor. ”

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Su Yan by Chen Ying, who looked at it for a while, put the letter down, squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Yan, and said, "Do you know the content of the letter that your family ordered you to send?" ”

"If you return to the overseer, the villain will naturally know." Chen Yan replied, his tone gradually became a little gritted teeth: "The supervisor doesn't know, after the Qing court set up a garrison in Hangzhou to defend the Eight Banners, those Eight Banners disciples are all doing evil in the city, bullying men and women, and doing all kinds of evil, the villain's sister was forcibly occupied by a Eight Banners general, and the villain went to seek justice after learning about it, but was beaten by the generals and several people, and the injuries on the villain's body were left at that time. ”

Saying that, he took off his clothes, revealing the shocking scars on it, and he continued: "The villain was lucky to pick up a life from the banner man, my family deeply felt the pain of the Han people being bullied by the Manchurians, the king division soldiers came to the city, and he was willing to open the city to welcome the king into the city, so the villain took the initiative to ask for help, and took advantage of the night to take the bamboo basket out of the city, and was found by the sentry and brought here, what the villain said is true!" ”

When the words fell, Chen Yan bowed his head and knocked his head on the ground three times.

After listening to his words, Su Yan didn't speak, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "The governor knows, but the governor still has some questions, I hope you can tell the governor everything, don't hide it." ”

"Ask the Overseer to ask."

Chen Yan lowered his head to the ground and said.
