Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 567
He Tengjiao became unhappy after hearing You Youlun's words. The most reliable relationship in ancient times was father and son, teacher and student, are you still my student?Why do you always contradict the teacher?
You Youlun's words made some sense, but He Tengjiao couldn't listen to them. His unhappy side turned to You Youlun and said, "Fang Shan is worrying too much. It's not that the governor doesn't believe in the general. He wants to interfere with the general's defense of the city, but he just wants to control it." situation, to ensure safety, and it is always right to take precautions before they happen.”

To be honest, with the two examples of Fu Shangrui and Liu Chengyin, You Youlun also has doubts about whether the generals in the city can wholeheartedly fight against the Qing Dynasty.

After all, there are more than 4 people in the city, and no one can guarantee everyone's loyalty. If the situation is critical, the Manchu Qing will use Fu Shangrui's relationship to recruit and surrender.

The Qing army not only occupied Wuchang, but also rebuilt the chief envoy less than a year ago, and appointed the procuratorial envoy, who commanded the envoy, the governor-general's yamen, and the administrative, military, judicial, financial yamen and officials in Hubei as a whole. .

But having said that, there is a saying that there is no doubt about employing people, and there is no need for doubting people, but you can't restrain your hands and feet just because of this possibility. Now that the Qing army is in a hurry to attack, the Ming army binds their own hands and feet, and they will only let the Ming army defend the city. Even more at a disadvantage, and the disadvantage will make people's hearts more shaken, and those who are vacillating at that time may really choose to vote.

"Teacher, this matter~" You Youlun hurriedly persuaded again.

He Tengjiao waved his hand and said annoyedly: "Fang Shan, don't say any more. The governor is very clear about what you mean, but at such a critical juncture, the governor must be well aware of the affairs of the city. Fang Shan doesn't need to pay attention to this matter. You just need to help the governor stabilize the people in the city."

The next day, on the somewhat dilapidated East City of Wuchang, which was bombarded by artillery, the archers of Chen Youlong's department had already lined up, holding a hard bow in one hand and pinching the tail of an arrow with the other. The swarm of bees has also put arrows into the slot, just waiting for the Qing soldiers to approach.

The Flang machine, Hu Zun cannon, and the invincible general in the city are all loaded with shells, and the gunners hold torches. All they lack is an order.

In the past few days, the Qing army's attacks have become more violent every time. If you want to attack a big city like Wuchang, you have to work slowly and meticulously. It should be a little thank you, but Duoduo didn't, commanding the green battalion to attack violently for several days, just like the green battalion soldiers can't die.

People say that if you work hard, you will decline again, and then you will be exhausted. The Qing soldiers seem to want to use up their strength from the very beginning.

Chen Youlong originally thought that after three days of onslaught, the grandson below should calm down and send some people to show off, and the harassment would be over, but when he looked down the city, there were more fucking people than in the previous three days .

Before the war, it always seemed surprisingly quiet. The officers who had been running and shouting earlier had already taken their positions, watching the front of the Qing army with fear.

Chen Youlong saw that the black crowd was just beyond the range of the artillery, and thousands of Qing soldiers surrounded the ladders. They were always the first troops to attack the city.

After the ladder, there are hundreds of goose carts, which are more than three feet high and are at the same level as the city head. Before the battle, the front of this kind of car had a door panel more than one foot high, covered with iron sheets, which could defend against bows and arrows, and bird guns.

In the formation of the Qing army, there are long spears like a forest, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Before the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains dynasty was faced with nomadic tribes. Both the Xiongnu and the Turks were large tribes with low productivity. A snow disaster or a wind disaster could seriously damage their vitality. Yuan, Qing, these are all countries, separated from the tribal form, in addition to retaining the advantages of nomadic barbarism and combat, they also enslave the people to farm the land, pay food, collect taxes, draw meat, and make equipment. This way, it is difficult to deal with up.

In front of the Qing army, Duoduo did not ride on a horse, but stood on a tall watch chariot like a Han general, and Fu Shangrui stood beside him.

"This letter was shot into the city, but He Tengjiao didn't reply. The king promised the king, but he was not tempted. It was a bit beyond my expectation." Duoduo has seen many faces of officials in the Ming Dynasty. Hulu, guarantee that a large number of shameless literati will come buzzing like flies seeing shit.He thought that even if He Tengjiao didn't agree, he wouldn't refuse, and talked with him to some extent, but he didn't expect to ignore him at all.

"My lord, He Tengjiao, a servant who understands him very well, has great ambitions, lacks talent, is incapable of making decisions, and has a suspicious temperament. As long as this letter is sent into the city, He Tengjiao will read it. He will definitely suspect his subordinates." Fu Shangrui smiled confidently and said: "In this way, there will be a gap in the city very likely, and the prince will attack and put pressure on him. The servant is contacting the acquaintances in the city. Why? Worried about whether Wuchang will be broken?"

Duoduo was very happy when he heard this, "Very well, if this king captures Wuchang and Huguang this time, I will play the regent at the meeting to show you as the governor of Huguang."

"My lord supports me, and my slaves must be treated as dogs and horses to repay my lord's kindness." Fu Shangrui was ecstatic in his heart, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to show his loyalty.

Doduo looked at him very satisfied, raised his hand and said, "You are fine, get up."

Fu Shangrui stood up, and Duoduo snorted coldly: "This He Tengjiao is ignorant of current affairs. The king gave him such a good condition. He doesn't cherish it. If he wants to find his own death, then the king will have to attack Wuchang and kill his whole family." .”

"My lord, if He Tengjiao really descends, will the Holy Dynasty really make him the king of Pingxiang?" Fu Shangrui was a little surprised when he heard Duoduo's words.

"That's natural. It's not impossible to exchange [-] soldiers with a piece of empty paper." Duoduo said casually: "Besides, I heard that He Tengjiao and Wang Yan are Weng's son-in-law. It may not be possible to make Wang Yan surrender."

Fu Shangrui was surprised and said, "He Tengjiao is crowned as the county king, so why don't the Holy Dynasty use the title of prince to recruit Wang Yan?"

When Duoduo heard this, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. He stopped laughing after a while, gritted his teeth and said, "If Wang Shiheng comes to surrender, this king will personally tear his chariot apart and dismember him immediately!"

Fu Shangrui was stunned for a while, Lord Yu hated Wang Yan so much, but he soon figured out that Wang Yan was the sworn enemy of the Qing Dynasty, how could he surrender?Even if he really surrendered, the Qing Dynasty would not dare to keep him. If someone like him is unparalleled in prestige, who can be used to fighting, staying will be a disaster. The Qing Dynasty will not only kill him, but also destroy the nine clans to eliminate future trouble.

Just as Duoduo was speaking, the Qing army under the city was ready, and the generals of the green battalions leaped in front of the formation, making the final mobilization and boosting morale.

Doduo saw that it was almost time, so he waved his hand and gave the order to attack. The Qing army in front of the formation heard the sound of the drum and immediately shouted in unison.
