Chapter 172 Can't collapse

Jinan.

Jinan Prefecture was established in the early Ming Dynasty, and it belonged to the Shandong Provincial Administration and the Provincial Administration Office. In the ninth year of Hongwu, the provincial capital was moved from Qingzhou Prefecture to Jinan Prefecture. Jinan became the capital of Shandong. It was the seat of Shandong Provincial Administration Office, the commander and the Censorate Office.

Now it is also an important juncture for the Southern Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition.

It takes only about 500 miles from Jinan to reach Beijing.

But now, let alone these five hundred miles.

After the Qing army arrived in the northeast of Shandong from Pingyang Prefecture in Taiyuan, it quickly repelled the Ming army heading north, and then oppressed step by step, repelling the Ming army all the way to Jinan Prefecture City.

Nearly 60,000 Ming troops faced the 20,000 Qing troops who were divided into divisions, and turned a Northern Expedition into a battle to defend the city.

"My mother, those are the problems."

At the tea shop in Jinan City, You Shoulong looked at the Ming soldiers wearing old clothes and few armored soldiers who had strolled on the streets, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

When he first entered Sichuan, he took Chongqing in a battle and then began to gradually invade Chengdu. However, due to the difficulty of the Daxi Army resisting the Shu Road, he only attacked Neijiang in March.

“It’s started again.”

The existence of trenches greatly extended the war.

"Well, I think privately, we can rotate."

"I'm out of money. I originally said I wouldn't charge three guarantors anymore, but now I'm also open? When the ditch on the opposite side is dug, it would take a month to fight the place where I went down."

What is the reason.

The Jinyiwei gave thumbs up to the speaker.

Wang Chengen waved his hand, and several servants next to him began to cover the fire with moist soil prepared in advance.

"That's right. At least that Gao Jie and Lin Qingye are really determined to fight against Jiannu. They are soldiers and generals under their command. No wonder they can use as much money as they do as much work as they do."

"Eunuch Wang helps me!"

"It's very hot. It's not a loss. The essence of several tanks of wine. With tinea oil and sugar, this bottle is worth a lot of money."

"The salary is paid! The salary is paid!"

Wang Chengen looked at the surging pool of flames burning in the open space, as if he had thought of something, and retreated again.

A strong young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a pair of loose leather armor rushed in in a hurry.

"Master, Xia Wanchun suddenly appeared in the outer courtyard and said he wanted to see you."

Of course, the reason why the trenches can play their due role in the hands of the Ming army.

And in a short period of time, they could not find an effective way to crack it.

"hiss"

"It's not just that there is no salary, but there is not enough military equipment. The longer you fight, the more you suffer, the more you suffer. The key is that we can't beat it."

It is because Zheng Chenggong's previous attack was successful because many landlords in Shu heard that the army was coming, so they rushed to revolt to assist the Ming army in recapturing Shu.

Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the workshop, a servant came in from the outer courtyard.

"I owe salary, I can't help it."

"well!"

"This is a fucking good idea."

The soldier who took the money into his arms, and immediately gathered together with the familiar soldiers to discuss it.

"Shouldn't it be five liang?"

Because I was far away in Nanjing, a group of people were figuring out something that made the trench soldiers frightened.

As a result, the trench was up at this time.

"Your Majesty's capital camp was owed at the time, both of you are the same, and you don't want to send it."

Just like Zheng Chenggong's army in Sichuan.

As the cheers were heard, a gray soldier suddenly woke up from the trench and looked back. Sure enough, a lot of money was wandering in the trench and gathering together.

Although the solid and towering city walls were completely destroyed by the power of cannons, they have not gradually withdrawn from the stage of history as the times change.

After a moment.

After saying that, the soldier touched the rat tail of the money above his head with some emotion.

His Majesty's letter said that this thing may explode when it is burned. Although it will not be destroyed after being touched, Wang Chengen did not want to be burned.

"The Qing Dynasty owes money no matter how much money it is."

"Sha Huaizhong! Two halves!"

"Hehe, I'm going to say this is a good thing. It's safe to hide in this ditch at other times except when charging."

Then the Daxi Army did not divide its troops and did not suppress the rebellion.

The city walls became decorations directly.

"There are few Jiannu people, and we have many soldiers. Jiannu is at a disadvantage when fighting. Just hit two cannons to give yourself courage."

Unfortunately, this feeling is not the time.

"I don't know what to do, but I can't hit it."

Wang Chengen's old face was a little surprised and playful when he heard this. He chuckled twice and waved his hand: "Bring it in."

"It looks like it can burn for a long time. At present, the only disadvantage of this thing is that it is expensive, which is completely cut off your thoughts! Our soldiers from the Ming Dynasty cannot afford it! It's extinguished!"

Faced with this trench, almost all the tactics and battle formations of the Ming and Qing dynasties instantly turned into jokes, and even strategic ideas had to change the trench.

“.It’s done too.”

“How long has it been burned?”

The other four Jinyiwei guards on the side couldn't help but frown.

"It's almost an incense stick."

"Zo Ling said it! I'll send half of it this month, and I'll send it together for the rest next month!"

Sighing, You Shoulong shook his head: "I won't talk about this anymore! We have read the letter from Eunuch Wang this morning. Who would like to go? Deyan has said it before. The reception of Eunuch Wang is simply nothing except that you can't run around.

There is nothing else to do with it."

Wang Chengen laughed even happier when he heard this: "Why, I won't call me an old eunuch."

"Next!"

In just now, a rumbling sound came from a distance.

"Anyway, the elm-wood** paper given by Your Majesty has been stuffed to the court, which may be of some use. Although Gao Jie is really not good at character, he is still quite smart when fighting. The more trenches outside the city are digging,

Jinan City should still be able to defend it.”

If Longwu had not given Zheng Chenggong the information related to the trench and had him learn to dig trenches, it would be hard to say whether Neijiang could be kept in the present.

The fundamental reason is that Longwu paid some salary.

But it was from this point on that Zheng Chenggong could no longer push forward, but could only turn from attack to defense, and it was quite difficult to defend.

After the rebellion was almost over, the main force gathered and began to confront Zheng Chenggong.

Xia Wanchun turned red, then bowed and bowed solemnly, and stood up and said, "My father and my master asked Zheng Shuai to force me to send me back."

"You are only fourteen and have not achieved your studies. Our family sent you there just to let you follow and see the battlefield and take on great responsibilities in the future. Who has let you stay there? If you don't come back, your father and Mr. Maozhong will be afraid.

I am not following me up, but I am going to break into my manor with my sword."

"Can"

"Since you're here, sit down and have a cup of tea. Let's go with our house later. Don't worry about the battle formation. The Ming Dynasty will not collapse in a while."
