The appearance of Tian Hongyu did not have any impact on the business of Cuihong Mansion.

Liu Ruyi, Kou Baimen, Gu Hengbo and Bian Yujing appeared collectively in Cuihong Mansion as promised.

There is no legendary "couplet choosing a son-in-law", but it has not disappointed the talented people who bought tickets at a high price.

Kou Baimen's new song "You Look So Good When You Smile", Bian Yujing's new song "Listen to Me Say Thank You", and Liu Ru's new songs in the southern dialect "A Piece of Maple Leaf Love", "Remembering Relatives" and "Love to Fight to Win" made countless romantic talents scream and received rave reviews.

After noon, the painting boat of Tianyin Pavilion set sail south on the Grand Canal, attracting dozens of large ships to follow.

Tian Hongyu was lying on the couch, unable to move, and his teeth itched with hatred, but he didn't dare to send someone to intercept him.

However, the Jinyi guards under his command can also be regarded as talented!

Its efficiency and ability are almost on par with the second factory in the east and west!

In just half a day, a simulated portrait of the "perpetrator" of the Cuihong Mansion was drawn!

It is basically certain that this person is the felony who robbed Yuan Chonghuan!

According to eyewitnesses, the assassin who robbed Zhu Huijiao in the palace should also be this person!

Touching the melon along the vine, there is another major discovery!

The other man who robbed Yuan Chonghuan at the execution ground was Chen Wangting, who committed murder in the martial arts competition and assassinated Zhu Youzhen outside the competition!

Linked to the ambiguous relationship between Wang Li and Yuan Chonghuan, as well as the rumors in various parts of the Yangtze River, Tian Hongyu was overjoyed!

This time, Wang Li's guy is dead!

However, in the face of Tian Hongyu's recital and a lot of evidence, Zhu Youzhen shook his head!

If it is said that Wang Li is guarding himself for theft, harboring assassins, or has bad intentions, Zhu Youzhen would rather die!

Impossible, impossible!

He has a close relationship with Yuan Chonghuan, it is indeed true!

However, compared to Sun Chengzong or Han Jun, this relationship is nothing!

If it is said that he harbored the assassin Chen Wangting, it would be even more!

Outside the school field at that time, when Chen Wangting assassinated, if he hadn't sacrificed himself to block a sword, he would have died a long time ago!

If it is said that he sent the assassin palace to assassinate with bad intentions, Zhu Youzhen does not believe it!

Because, when the assassin succeeded, Empress Zhou and the young prince Zhu Cihong were next to them!

The assassin abandoned the prince and kidnapped the princess, what kind of "bad intentions" is this?

If it was really Wang Li's doing, he would have sent such a stupid assassin?

If it is said that the princess was robbed to extort money, it is even more impossible!

He knows his finances better than anyone else!

Every year, he took the initiative to pay taxes and take the initiative to pay for disaster relief, and did not extort a copper plate from me!

But you told me what was the use of him taking the princess?

Is there something wrong with his brain, or is it something wrong with the Assassin's brain?

Or, is there something wrong with your brain?

That's the end of it!

From now on, no one shall slander the factory in any way!

Otherwise, Hugh blames me for turning my face and not recognizing people!

was scolded bitterly, Tian Hongyu was submissive on the surface, but he didn't give up in his heart!

Because, killing Wang Li and kidnapping Liu Ru are not in conflict in nature!

It can even be said that only by killing Wang Li can Liu Ruis be taken away!

What Zhu Youzhen said is that Wang Li cannot be "slandered", is it not simple?

The so-called "slander" is just that there is no evidence for the time being!

If there is no evidence, then go and look for it!

One day, he will be killed!

……

Tian Hongyu's secret movements, Wang Li and Zhu Kezhen didn't know!

At this time, Zhu Kezhen was so busy that he couldn't take care of those small fish and shrimp at all!

Because, at this time, Wang Li was in Liaodong - the intelligence from all over the country needed to be sent to the Beijing division for classification and summary, and then the most important one was sent to Daling River;

In all states and governments across the country, all the affairs of "silver exchange for paper money" also need Zhu Kezhen to coordinate and direct behind the scenes;

For a martial artist, doing these things is indeed a bit reluctant!

However, fortunately, with the assistance of a group of Jinyiwei from Chengdu who know how to calculate mathematics, the overall progress is quite smooth!

The front line in Quang Ninh is too cold, and Wang Li would rather die!

If you accidentally get hit by a stray arrow, it's not worth it!

It's better to stay on the kang in Dalinghe City, drink some wine, and peel some peanuts, which is warm and safe!

"Didn't you say that there would be a steady stream of shells? Why is there no news? ”

"Ouch, my Governor Chen, there are more than 10,000 shells made in the past two years, all of which have been allocated to you!

Even the hundreds left by Sun Chuanting are being sent non-stop!

If you want another 10,000, I'm afraid you'll have to wait another year! ”

Wang Li's words made Chen Qiyu cold from head to toe!

The existing more than 5,000 shells have all been sent outside Quang Ninh!

You're just telling me now that all the shells are here?

This is an attack on Quang Ninh City!

This cannonball is far from enough!

"Factory Gong, didn't you say, "Caliber is justice, range is truth"?

Didn't you also say, "Nothing can't be solved by one round of artillery fire, and if it is not solved, then another round"?

It's only more than 5,000 pieces, and one round is not enough! ”

I'll go!

Wang Li looked at Chen Qiyu from head to toe, both shocked and disappointed!

Do you dare to say it again?

Didn't you say that you are good at planning?

Didn't you say before the war that you were 90% sure that Quang Ninh City would be captured?

How did you become unable to fight now?

Gave you more than 5,000 shells, but told me there were not enough of them?

Did I hear you right?

More than 5,000 pieces, not enough for you to play one round?

Cannonballs don't need money, do they?

Didn't make you pay for it, did it?

Do you think that the production of gunpowder is easy?

You think that the production of shells is easy?

Did you know that the shells were transported here from Fujian and Chengdu and had already crossed the entire Ming Dynasty?

Thousands of miles of transportation lines, you think it's easy?

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Wang Li really couldn't help it, and said angrily: "There are no shells!" There is a fateful one!

The troops have arrived at the city of Quang Ninh, and more than 30,000 ears are in front of you!

Fight or retreat, you decide!

However, I have a bad word in front of me: two hundred taels for one ear, I say one or two! However, if one of my own casualties is lost, I will deduct five hundred taels from me! ”

"That'...... I'll think about it again......"

Chen Qiyu was also extremely depressed, but he had no choice but to leave.

According to the reward standard set before the war, the ears of an eight-banner soldier are two hundred taels!

However, in the case of insufficient shells, it is really not easy to harvest a sufficient number of ears!

If you fight with the Eight Banners on a large scale, you can harvest more ears, but it is difficult to avoid your own casualties!

If you're not careful, you'll lose money!

If you have one casualty, you will have to deduct 500, which is too dark!

However, he is the governor and the owner of the money, and he can only do things according to his rules!

All in all, you can't fight hard with the Eight Banners!

However, according to the rules established before the war, if you capture a city, there will be another reward!

Just like the Guangning City in front of you, if you can capture it, in addition to the reward of cutting off your ears, there is also a reward of 300,000 taels for breaking the city!

In the southeast of Quang Ninh, at Xiping Fort, the city is bigger and stronger, and the reward for breaking the city is 500,000 yuan!

The most valuable city is probably Shenyang - if you conquer this city, the reward will be as high as five million!

The most valuable head is not Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's five million, but Huang Taiji's eight million!

This sky-high price, just think about it!

Although it is sky-high, no one has ever doubted it, from the general army to the soldiers!

Just like Sun Chuanting captured Gao Yingxiang alive, Wang Li didn't blink his eyes for the three million reward, and he cashed it out immediately after verification!

Sun Chuanting's nerd, his luck is too good!

Unexpectedly, he became famous in the Meridian Valley!

Quietly, he became a rich man!

That's it!

Three million, five million, eight million, that's too far away!

To capture Quang Ninh City, it shouldn't be difficult to get 300,000!

By the way, if you cut off 10,000 ears, the income is not bad!

Thinking of this, Chen Qiyu drooled!

"Governor Chen, General Qiu's infantry is already in place, and he specially sent someone to ask, when can the city be attacked?"

Song Zhe's words pulled Chen Qiyu back to the cold reality!

There are too few shells available!

If you can have 20,000 pieces, hehe!

Alas, stop dreaming!

There are not enough shells, and if you want to reduce casualties, you can only go to Quang Ninh and command the city in person!

Guan Ningjun knows Yuan Chonghuan, but no one has seen me!

Hold the hat down a little and it shouldn't be a big problem!

As for the factory father, there is no problem!

He nests in the room all day long, if it weren't for the fact that his stomach was so swollen that he couldn't stand it, he would definitely not get off the kang!

If you leave for three or five days, there should be no problem!

Well, that's it!

……

For the sake of silver, Chen Qiyu ignored the wind and snow, risked revealing his identity, concealed Wang Li, and quietly left Daling River!

Outside Quang Ninh City, at a distance of 60 zhang, 200 mortars lined up!

It was expected to be right, from beginning to end, the Eight Banners did not dare to come out to attack!

"Let's play one round first, a thousand!"

"Whoa!"

With the wave of the flag, the gunners who had been prepared for a long time were in place!

In an instant, the front was deafening and smoky!

The howl of the ghost crying wolf sounded, and the fire splashed on the city, and the earth shook!

After a few breaths, the gunfire stopped!

Chen Qiyu looked at the city head depressedly, and then turned to Song Zhe: "What's the matter?" Why did the cannon stop? ”

"Uh...... Brother Chen, didn't you say a thousand, it's already over! ”

"Huh?"

The head of the city is still intact!

Chen Qiyu, I can't believe my ears!

"I'll go! So fast? Is there any mistake? ”

"That's right, it's a thousand!

There are only five guns per cannon, so it must be over with a bang! Not enough time to pee!

By the way, do you want to attack the city right away? ”

"No need!"

Chen Qiyu shook his head depressedly, asked for a pen and paper, and wrote a threatening letter: "Come on, shoot this letter into the city, and see the situation!" ”

"Whoa!"

Soon, under the cover of wooden shields, the archers accurately shot the letter at the head of the city.

And, I saw the Eight Banners pick it up with my own eyes.

Next, it's just a matter of anxious waiting.

However, the city's Daishan and Zilharang disdainfully smiled!

Because, although the city wall of Quang Ninh is rammed with mud, it is as solid as a rock because of the splashing of water into ice!

Mortars are fast and can blow up cavalry or foot soldiers to the point of crying and screaming, but the damage to the city walls is minimal!

And, according to the latest intelligence provided by the insider, the Ming army only had more than 5,000 shells!

The hundreds of shells just now only injured more than 100 soldiers defending the city, but the city wall did not move at all!

Therefore, if the Ming army wants to collapse the city wall, it is basically impossible!

The commander surnamed Chen is obviously speaking wildly!

How dare you say that the first time you hit a thousand, the second time you hit two thousand, and the third time you hit four thousand, and the fifth time you hit eight thousand!

Scold! Who to scare?

If you really have the ability, you will smash them all, and I will take it!

Why don't we make a bet?

I'm betting on you, you'll have to be dumb after this round!

Isn't it just a few shells!

If you dare to fight them all, I'll be out of the city right away!"

Kill your, kill your whole army!

Hum!

You don't want to finish, I'm still forcing you to finish!

Come on, find someone who can write Chinese characters, and tell the commander: his mortar can't even blow up a chicken!

Shao Tee holds chicken feathers as an arrow!

If you have the ability, shoot them all, and if you have the ability, you will kill the city, don't grind and chirp!

Half an hour later, after receiving the reply, Chen Qiyu was silent!

I thought that in the battle ten days ago, Dai Shan was already scared!

I thought that after firing a round of shells, coupled with that threatening letter, Daishan would abandon the city and leave!

Who knows, that guy is so tenacious!

Alas!

The remaining more than 4,000 pieces will no longer dare to shoot out easily!

The foot soldiers who came to attack the city were only 5,000 people under Qiu Hejia's command!

The cavalry responsible for the cover, only 10,000 horsemen!

And in the city, there are not only 3,000 foot soldiers, but also more than 28,000 ironclad cavalry!

What a disparity in strength!

Even if you climb to the top of the city after the artillery fire, even if you open the city gate, it is impossible to completely annihilate the defenders, let alone occupy the city!

However, if they can't take Quang Ninh quickly, the Eight Banners are likely to attack their own grain transportation team!

If you run out of food, it's dangerous!

And, it's icy here!

The soldiers have been stationed outside the city for a long time, and after a few days, they will complain!

If you withdraw from the army, losing face is secondary, and the Eight Banners are likely to chase and kill!

If this is the case, this Ming army will have to be wiped out!

Alas!

Now that I can't advance, I can't retreat, and I don't dare to retreat!

It's really hard to ride a tiger!

What to do? What to do?

Can anyone tell me what to do now?

was restless, Wu Sangui smiled all over his face and came up.

"Commander Chen, we only have 4,000 shells left, can we still capture Quang Ninh?"

Such a question made Chen Qiyu more and more depressed!

Even a little angry!

This guy, which pot is not opened, which pot is not mentioned!

Just as he was about to speak, Wu Sangui opened his mouth again: "Commander Chen, when we set off, Governor Wang said that he would "fully support";

When will our next batch of shells arrive?

How many, how many? ”

"How many?

I want to know how many there are!

All I can tell you is, there is! That's a lot!

There's a ball!

There's a fart!

There's a hammer!

There's a shovel!

There's a yarn!

There's a ghost! ”

A few words of Sichuanese dialect that are not earthy, speak very quickly!

Coupled with the anger, the voice was a little loud, and Wu Sangui was completely suppressed!

Song Zhe on the side listened to it very sincerely, angry and funny!

I wanted to explain to Wu Sangui, but I couldn't hold back my laughter!

Originally, Chen Qiyu was a native of Baode in Taiyuan, Shanxi;

I stayed in Sichuan for more than a year, and I often gave advice by Wang Li's side, so I learned a lot of Sichuan dialect!

Sometimes, you can also communicate with Wang Li in Sichuan!

In a hurry just now, the Sichuan dialect that inadvertently popped out made Wu Sangui completely stunned!

I wanted to ask again, but Chen Qiyu got into the tent and closed the curtain!

I have to say that if you start a fire, or scold people, compared with languages across the country, Sichuan dialect has an unparalleled advantage!

Looking at Song Zhe with a wicked smile on his face, Wu Sangui was full of depression and left in a huff.

Sensing Chen Qiyu's anger, Song Zhe was afraid that he would be angry, so he hesitated a little and got into the tent.

"Withdraw troops? Really want to withdraw troops? ”

"Not bad! For the sake of safety, we can only withdraw to Da Ling River! Chen Qiyu was both helpless and unwilling, and said as calmly as possible:

"For the sake of the safe retreat of the whole army, from now on, every hour, thirty to one hundred shells will be fired at the city until midnight tomorrow morning!

Tonight's moonlight is looming, the foot soldiers are withdrawn at the unitary hour, and the cavalry is withdrawn at the end of tomorrow morning, and it is difficult for the Eight Banners to find it!

Even if they find out, they won't dare to chase after them easily!

Hurry up, immediately ask for help from Da Linghe, and ask the factory to send cavalry to respond! ”

"Brother Chen, you, you...... Are you sure you want to retreat?

You know, Daling River is too cold, and there are not many carrier pigeons to feed, so we only get two, and we can only deliver 100,000 urgent news! ”

"Guan Ningjun can't afford to lose, and neither can the factory father! That's it, fly the pigeon and pass the book immediately!

Tomorrow at noon, if Song Yi's cavalry has not yet arrived, it will be difficult for our army to retreat! ”

Also, you have to pay attention: it is best to keep it a secret until the withdrawal order is issued!

Otherwise, it is easy to shake the morale of the army! ”

"Brother Chen, don't worry, I understand!"
