Seriously calculated, Yan Ermei was almost the first literati to stand on Zhu Yiyuan's side, and it was he who persuaded Xie Qian to give up the idea of supporting Zhu's father, giving Zhu Yiyuan a rare opportunity for development. And he followed Xie Qian away, helped Xie Qian attract the Qing army, and bought time for Zhu Yiyuan.

All kinds of things add up, Zhu Yiyuan owes a lot to others.

In any case, we must get him out.

But the question also comes, how to save people...... "Zhu Yanshi, why don't we arrange people to rob the prison?" After saying this, Luo Yi himself laughed, and he scratched his head.

After fighting a few battles, Luo Yi also understood that the prison robbery requires manpower, and if one hundred and eighty people can be sent in, it is better to steal the city gate and take Jinan Mansion directly.

Zhao Yingyuan said: "Why don't we spend some money to buy the Qing army?" ”

Zhao Shizhe, Song Jicheng, they all have their own opinions.

Zhu Yiyuan was smiling, "Don't be so troublesome, we have professional talents." As he spoke, he set his eyes on Jiang Qi.

"Mr. Jiang, you have been in prison for so many years, you should know the situation in the cell, right?"

Jiang Qi smiled, "It's really clear." ”

"Then Mr. will work hard and find a way to deploy and rescue Mr. Yan, how about it?"

Jiang Qi thought for a while, "In this way, send me two people, just ask Luo Yi and Wang Huan to follow, and give me another two hundred taels of silver." ”

"Two hundred taels?" Zhu Yiyuan was taken aback, "Is it a little less?" I'll give you a note that you can call on the money of the merchants in the city, and there is no upper limit. ”

Jiang Qi waved his hand and said: "I'm worried about it, I took this money to enter the city, and as for saving people, it doesn't cost anything." ”

This person's confidence is more than Zhu Yiyuan, and Zhu Yiyuan has nothing to say now.

"In short, Mr. Yan is very important, and we must ensure his safety."

Jiang Qi smiled and nodded, and then called Luo Yi and Wang Huan, and they set off quickly.

Although Zhu Yiyuan remembers Yan Ermei, there are still too many things at hand, especially in the countryside below, the common people hope to complete the division of the land before the year and get their own land.

At the same time, it is necessary to train people and horses to eliminate the internal ghosts, and Huang Pei also got the first batch of craftsmen to come over and has begun to trial produce bird guns. All kinds of things, a thousand things, busy non-stop.

Similarly, Qian Qianyi has a lot of things at hand...... Now the Qing army is advancing vigorously, and the general Li Chengdong is leading the army to approach Fujian, and the Longwu court is crumbling.

On the other hand, the Qing army reached Ganzhou, and once Ganzhou fell, the connection between Fujian and Jiangxi and other places would be severed.

"Master, the concubine doesn't understand, why is Ganzhou so important?" Liu Ru lowered his head and asked casually.

Qian Qianyi smiled, "You have a belly of poetry and book knowledge, but you are a little short of the national economy and people's livelihood, and your husband asks you, where did the silk and satin on your body come from?" ”

Liu Ru said with a smile: "This is Suzhou's silk, and raw silk is supplied by Zhejiang." ”

Qian Qianyi nodded, "Yes, over the years, the cotton cloth of Songjiang and the silk of Suzhou have been sold all over the world, and the former land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River can no longer produce food to feed themselves." ”

Liu Ru was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Then Jiangnan is not hungry, and millions of stone grains have to be raised, where does the food come from?" ”

Qian Qianyi laughed, "Naturally, Jiangxi and Huguang are ...... You didn't see that the Qing Dynasty captured Yingtian, and did not rush to destroy the Longwu court in Fuzhou, but sent troops to Jiangxi for grain and grass. The imperial court got the grain from Huguang, Jiangxi, and the world was decided. ”

Qian Qianyi's words are speaking of the fragility of the Ming Dynasty. Since the opening of Longqing, a large area of mulberry cotton has been planted in the south of the Yangtze River, and the goods have been sold in the West and a lot of money has been earned.

It seems that commerce and trade are prosperous, and the people are abundant, and there is a prosperous scene. In fact, there is a huge crisis lurking, Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, where the grain is produced.

As a result, not only is it not self-sufficient, but it has to be transferred from other places.

Although in peaceful years, you can still rely on money to buy food, but once the national needs are tight, or in the face of war, the food supply is broken, and everything is over.

This is the situation now, after the Qing army responded to the sky, they did not rush to chase and kill Longwu, but waved Jiangxi to cut off the food source of Nanming.

In addition, the continuous expulsion of displaced people and the use of massacres forced the common people to flee to the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Trapped at home and abroad, how many days can the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty last?

Liu Ruye's face turned pale, such a situation, it is really useless.

Qian Qianyi didn't feel anything unusual, mainly because Liu Ru was famous in Jiangnan, and almost all of those literati and Jiangnan Shilin characters had dealings.

At this moment, they are their own masters, and the rabbit is sad and sad, and it is understandable that they are sad.

"I received news that Huang Daozhou saw that Jiangxi was lost and Fujian was isolated, so he asked to send troops to the Northern Expedition."

"Northern Expedition?" Liu Ru was taken aback, "Did you send troops?" ”

Qian Qianyi laughed and said, "What kind of soldiers?" The Zheng family will not be truly loyal to the Ming Dynasty, they are just waiting for the price to sell. Otherwise, how could Scholar Hong's parents still be safe and sound at home? ”

When Liu Ru heard this, he already had mixed feelings and his heart ached, "In this way, is the Ming Dynasty really hopeless to restore the country?" ”

Qian Qianyi laughed, "It's a good thing that the husband is a person from the Qing Dynasty." It's just that I'm making great progress everywhere, and the good news is frequent, but Shandong, which was turned upside down by a little Zhu thief, made me shameless. Look, when the soldiers and horses are gathered and the food and grass are sufficient, I will personally lead the troops, destroy the Zhu thief, and dedicate his head to Your Majesty. ”

Liu Ru shook violently, lowered his head silently, and said nothing.

And at this moment, Jiang Qi was also drinking alone.

The other party was a thin middle-aged man, drinking and scolding, "Tell me, the Qing Dynasty didn't come, the court didn't give Yulu, the Qing Dynasty came, and it didn't give Yulu, this fucking Qing Dynasty didn't come in vain!" ”

Jiang Qi said with a smile: "Brother Hu, you can't say that, even if the court doesn't give money, you can still shorten the benefits of the prison?" ”

This Hu brother shook his head again and again, "You don't know, it's all from the Qing court now...... The Tartars have the final say. This guy lowered his voice and gritted his teeth: "They can arrest people if they want to, and kill people if they want to, in the past, we could collect some money and make it convenient, but now we don't dare to do anything, and if we don't do it, they will be beheaded." To tell you the truth, the prison guards have been cut down several times, all of them are my brothers! ”

Jiang Qi smiled and said, "Tartar, barbarian!" It's not surprising that they do. Brother Hu has to endure for a few more days, that is. ”

Brother Hu sneered: "Forbearance? I really don't know how long I can endure? Lao Jiang, you said that I want to have Xue Pinggui's ability, kill out of the city, and also be recruited as a Xiliang concubine, and lead the troops to kill back, how good it would be! ”

Jiang Qi laughed and said: "Just with Brother Hu's respect, let alone a horse, even if he is an emperor, he can do it." ”

Brother Hu touched the sparse beard on his mouth, and suddenly smiled again, "Dream!" Drink and drink! ”

The two of them drank a few more glasses, and Jiang Qi suddenly smiled: "Actually, Brother Hu doesn't have to sigh, although I don't have the ability to let you be a colt, but it is still easy to help my brother find a good way out." It's better than being the boss of this scared cell. ”

Brother Hu was shocked, and suddenly showed a sly smile, "Old Jiang, you are an old man from Zichuan, and you suddenly came to Jinan Mansion, the first day you came, I knew that you came prepared!" ”

Jiang Qi said with a smile: "I came to find Brother Hu directly, not anyone else, until your brother is extraordinary!" ”

In the face of Jiang Qi's praise, Brother Hu came to his senses, he shook his head, "I'm single now, last year, the old woman let the Qing soldiers' carriage knock down and die...... You asked me to assassinate Qian Qianyi, and I fought hard with the dog Tartar, I didn't have the guts, you asked me to do something else, and I would do it if it didn't work. ”

Jiang Qi nodded, then leaned over and whispered in his ear.

Brother Hu nodded again and again, "It's done, tomorrow at noon, you will wait on the east outer wall." ”

"Noon? Isn't it convenient in the dead of night? ”

Brother Hu laughed, "How do you run in the dead of night?" At noon, Dafang went out of the city, with me to protect it, and there was no. ”

Seeing that he swore an oath, Jiang Qi could only agree, and the next day, near noon, someone really jumped down and entered Jiang Qi's carriage, and then the carriage galloped, and sure enough, it went out of Dongcheng smoothly...... It's incredibly smooth.

After leaving the city, Yan Ermei looked back stupidly, "Jinan Mansion, it's just like that!" ”

Obviously, Yan Erme didn't know that after more than 300 years, he would not be much more troublesome than him when he came out of the most restrictive prison......
