Chapter Eighty-Eight: Retreat
Chen Qiyu's official robe was taken off and he was taken to prison.
The jailer opened the door.
Surprisingly, the cell was not as dark and damp as he imagined, and the conditions were still very good.
In the blink of an eye, he had been here for dozens of days.
Every afternoon, there is a fixed hour of relaxation, and other times I have to stay in my cell.
Here, he also met two other generals who had been captured like him.
Lu Xiangsheng, who was seriously injured and rescued, and Cao Wenzhao, who was knocked unconscious and captured after the original battle.
The military government of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is quite good for a few of them.
At least the other prisoners had to do some heavy lifting, and they didn't have to, and even the place where the wind was released was much better than that of the other prisoners, and there were even books and periodicals to read.
There are no other prisoners at all, and it is already a gift to be able to let the wind out.
It is said that they had already been sentenced to execution by the Criminal Department, but this time there were too many captures, and the people of the Ministry of Industry thought that the Criminal Department was wasteful, and finally made trouble to Shousuke, who ordered them to repair the railway.
These people didn't even have a chance to let off steam, and they used them directly to death, and dozens of them have fallen in the past few days.
It is also because of the fact that these people have a good reputation and are capable, and the military government of Jiangsu and Zhejiang has given them some preferential treatment.
The only thing that made a few people a little unbearable was that they had to go to class every night and talk about some kind of ideological transformation.
Lu Xiangsheng and Chen Qiyu are just that, and Cao Wenzhao has to take an additional literacy class.
"I don't know when we can get out, this Jiangsu and Zhejiang military government is locked up like this, and I don't know what it means."
Chen Qiyu sighed lightly:
"The king of the north and the south of the Yan...... Hey, how can these guys be so hard to deal with? I look at the world, but I'm afraid of ......"
Lu Xiangsheng smiled and shook his head, did not answer his words, and turned to something else:
"Brother Yuxuan, here, I have discovered a lot of new things."
"The rule of man and the rule of law, the contradiction between the people and the gentry, the land and the economy, the class, and the supreme way of science...... We have so much to learn. ”
"I've been wondering who I'm fighting for, I clearly want to save the dawn, but in the end, I'm still getting homeless people everywhere, and the rats are getting fatter and fatter, and here, I found the answer."
"I just want to learn a little more now."
Chen Qiyu looked at the boss of the old days and said firmly:
"In three years, you've really changed a lot."
I don't know if I'll be like him if I stay here for three years.
Cao Wenzhao glanced at the two of them, and wordlessly made a few pull-ups with the iron hoops embedded in the wall.
"I should have listened well in class."
He muttered.
has no culture, and can't even mix words.
……
The news that the military junta of Jiangsu and Zhejiang sent troops to capture the two provinces in a very short period of time is not so remarkable in the context of the great war between the two armies of Mingshun in the Gyeonggi region, but it is deafening enough for the southern provinces.
Although the military government of Jiangsu and Zhejiang at this time had obviously withdrawn the troops, they still returned to the army and deployed heavy troops at the junction with it.
In fact, they were unwilling to go north to support, after all, now that the canal has been cut off, they want to go north, the road is too far not to mention, and it is estimated that the battle is over, and they themselves do not want to confront Dashun, and now they just use the threat of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang military government as an excuse to stop the army.
It is now the first year of Hongguang, and the increasing alienation of the central government's control over various places has gradually become apparent.
By contrast, the junta's control over the region has become increasingly solid.
The prepared officials quickly entered the two provinces and began to form a new administrative system.
Many of the local gentry who did evil and had the courage to oppose the government had already fled or resisted and been killed before the arrival of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang army, and now the rest are already well-known and can accept the new policies of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang military government.
After the iron-blooded purge, the implementation of a series of policies became extremely smooth.
With the promulgation of various policies, the people are also sincerely aware of the difference between the military government and the previous regimes.
Even the landlords are no longer as arrogant as they once were. Of course, they also knew that it was not the conscience of the gentry, but the management of the government that made them dare not have bad thoughts.
Although Yan Quan is still young, but this time, his reputation in the province is already extremely high, and Yan Ling, who is the first assistant, and the name of "Lin Yan" is spread all over the country.
After Wang Chongzu resumed the tax, his respect for him in his territory was no longer there, on the contrary, the various measures of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang military governments spread, and it already had a very good reputation among the people, faintly with a layer of aura, and now it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In the south, it is already the hope of all, and the people are looking forward to it.
……
North Naoli.
The sentinels of the Shun army can already see the towering city walls of the Ming Jingshi.
It's really close, it's close.
But this step is already a moat.
Wang Chongzu's Shun army was stubbornly blocked from the Beijing division and could not advance an inch.
He was desperate to find that as time went by, more and more Ming troops had gathered, and by the time, the number had reached 300,000, and because he needed to divide his troops to garrison the various cities that he had breached, he was actually inferior in terms of troops.
However, the Ming army has also reached its limit, and excluding the necessary troops to defend the cities, this is already the largest army that the Northland can gather.
"Uncle, the deployment of the Ming army is like a big pocket, it is already open to us, once the battle continues, our army will not only not be able to win, but will also have the danger of being surrounded and annihilated."
His nephew, Wang Yijing, the right prime minister of the Dashun regime, said anxiously:
"Our army is in Henan, and it is almost impossible to support it, Sun Chuanting has already reached Luoyang, the queen, the prince, and the prime minister Zuo...... But it's all in there! ”
Wang Chongzu's face changed for a while, the ambition in his heart, and his endless unwillingness, after all, turned into a long sigh:
"Withdraw!"
The Shun army retreated.
The news spread like a gust of wind all over the country.
Among the Beijing teachers, everyone is excited.
Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong sat on the chair, his face was full of smiles, and there was a flush on his face that could not be faded.
Your Majesty is good everywhere else, but he is a little drunk. In the previous crisis of the Beijing Division, there was still restraint, but now when I heard that the Shun army had retreated, I was overjoyed, and I was afraid that I drank a lot.
Just thinking about it, Zhu Yousong had already spoken:
"Proposed will, reward Hong Chengchou's daughter, let him return to Beijing to resume his life, I will personally meet him at noon!"
