Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 164 Zheng Jing: As long as I think about it, I am invincible (two in one)

That night, Chenghai City was full of people, and it was very lively.

More than 6 surrounding people rushed in at one breath, it was impossible not to be lively, and Wang Ping's tired voice was about to smoke, but his spirit was extraordinarily excited.

I have been an official for 20 years, and I have never felt as fulfilled as I am today.

Looking at the grateful eyes of countless people, and hearing the "Master Qingtian" from the heart, Wang Ping felt extremely satisfied.

Why have I been an official for 20 years, and I have not gained such a great sense of satisfaction until today?After much deliberation, Wang Ping concluded that it was all because of the change of God!

I am a small official, and the small official can only be responsible for some execution matters. If the superior is the bastard court, I can only follow the bastard's business. If the superior is a wise king, then I am naturally the Lord Qingtian up.

There is no doubt that today's Da Tianzi and Prime Minister Liu are a pair of wise and wise men!

Chenghai is the capital city. In the past dynasties, which generation of monarchs dared to let the people outside the city enter the city when the capital was under siege?

Not only was it able to put the people into the city, but it was also able to repel the enemy's attack neatly and decisively with a small number of troops. How could such an imperial court not make people fall in love with it?
The victims were also very happy. They thought that they would have escaped death if they were sent to the battlefield, but they never expected that they would all enter the city.

I thought that even if I survived, my life would definitely not be too good, but I never expected that the prime minister directly ordered the door of the treasury to be opened, and gave them porridge to drink, and some thin clothes would be divided. to a worn coat.

Praise Daming, wish its kingdom last forever, praise the Prime Minister, hope he is healthy, live a long life, and be able to rule Daming for a few more years.

Better die behind me.

The local residents of Chenghai City are also very happy. Who doesn't want the official above him to be Lord Qingtian?Everyone was a little nervous about the anti-Qing incident. As soon as Zheng Jing came, the stock fell so much that it was cut in half and then cut in half. Except for Liu Dapao, the major shareholder, who took the lead in smashing the market, the local people did have a little panic, and pass on this panic from person to person.

Well now, the Ming army has proved with solid actions that they have the ability to protect the people of Ming Dynasty, and they are more determined to protect the people of Ming Dynasty.

This is true for the rural Qianshou outside the city, let alone the residents in the city?
Such a wise king and virtuous person can be entrusted with his life.

Jiu Nan is also very happy, she feels that even if the emperor is a puppet, it is worth it. Liu Dapao's intention of wanting the truth of the emperor is already very obvious, and to be honest, even if he makes a belt edict like Liu Xie Yes, and if Liu Dapao is really killed, the power of Daming will never return to her, the emperor's hands.

Because the power belongs to the company, without Liu Dapao, it is nothing more than changing the chairman to be the prime minister. The new prime minister may not be able to maintain superficial harmony with her, the emperor.

Originally, Nine Difficulties had become a little emotional recently, and she was no longer in harmony with Liu Dapao, and sometimes she even wondered what the point of being an emperor was.

Looking at the countless people outside shouting Long Live Daming in unison, for a moment, the eye sockets couldn't help getting a little moist again.

Even if it is a puppet, as long as the signboard of Daming is erected, the signboard itself is meaningful. In the future, it will be enough to have a clear conscience when facing the ancestors under Jiuquan.

The capitalists are also very happy. You must know that Chenghai City itself does not lack orders, nor does it lack markets and raw materials. On the contrary, there is a serious shortage of disciplined workers.

Because of the shortage of land, the dormitories provided by the capitalists for the workers will definitely not be very good, and to be honest, most of the uneducated farmers will find it difficult to adapt when they throw down their hoes to work as workers, but anyone with a few acres of fertile land at home Most people in this area are not very happy to be workers, but after the change of dynasty in the early Qing Dynasty, although there are still land conflicts, they are not too sharp.

According to the statistics of later generations, in the early Qing Dynasty, the national population should be about 6000 million. Although there was no clear statistics in the early years of Kangxi, it should not exceed [-] million. Judging from the farming conditions of the feudal society, some imported After eating corn and sweet potatoes, this value should actually be just right, and there will even be a lot of wasteland, which is why Kangxi ordered many times to encourage land reclamation.

Therefore, it is really difficult for capital to find cheap workers to serve as cows and horses for themselves. The victims are good. Not only their homes have been destroyed, but also their relatives and friends have been killed by the rebels in all likelihood. A white man who has no land and is even grateful to Chenghai City. Is there a better trained worker reserve than this?

As long as you can give them a bite to eat, they can be like cows or horses.

perfect.

A world where everyone is satisfied is hereby achieved.

On the other hand, Zheng Jing and Liu Guoxuan felt very gloomy.

The original siege army of more than 2 people now has more than 1 people left, and their morale is extremely low.

It’s not that the guns in Chenghai City really killed 1 people. Most of them escaped as deserters. The newly recruited soldiers have no sense of faith. The siege battle can be broken so quickly. Losing half, this battle was really bad.

That’s not enough, the most important thing is that Huang Fangdu is dead. Originally, this guy brought his own bodyguards to serve as the supervising team to kill deserters, but he never expected that there were too many deserters. Yes, they made a group with the deserter, and when Zheng Jing found Huang Fangdu's body, it had already been chopped into pieces.

If it is processed again, it may be used to make dumplings.

Although Zheng and Liu were reluctant to restrain some of Huang Fangdu's generals, they were still too reluctant. Most of the officers below were emotional. Coupled with the low morale, the two of them, let alone attacking the city, would not be able to attack the city at night. Sleeping is afraid that the soldiers will mutiny and cut off their heads.

"How about... shall we withdraw our troops?" Zheng Jing hesitated for a while, and asked Liu Guoxuan tentatively.

Liu Guoxuan glanced at Zheng Jing disdainfully: "You are the one who is obsessed with beating you, and I can be regarded as going on the thief ship with you again, but now you want to withdraw?"

Zheng Jing was quite aggrieved when he heard the words, but he also knew that what he said was true, so he said helplessly: "But what can we do then, it seems that this city will definitely not be able to be defeated now, hey, the firepower of this Chenghai city is too great. It's fierce, and the closer you get, the denser the firepower is, the shells and bullets are like raining, and our artillery can't blast their city walls."

"Yes, but what can we do? Can we really withdraw our troops and go back at this time? You go back to Quanzhou, and I go back to Tingzhou? When Liu Dapao recovers a bit, his Haifeng main force Or will the traitors from Penghu come back and let us go? Can your Quanzhou City stop Liu Dapao's volley of artillery?"

"I'm afraid there is no need for Liu Dapao to do it himself. With such a great opportunity, will Geng Jingzhong let us go? The three prefectures of Zhang, Quan, and Ting are originally his territory. With our current morale strength, Geng Jingzhong will let us go." If we randomly send a partial division to attack, will we have a way out?"

When Zheng Jing heard this, he couldn't help but feel lost for a while.

"So, isn't it in a desperate situation? Isn't it... doomed? Well, what if we surrender? At any rate, Liu Dapao was born in the Tiandihui, and he is still Chen Yonghua's apprentice. It seems...even if it is my father's. For his sake, he, he probably wouldn't kill me, right? Even if he puts me under house arrest, I can only be a wealthy idler from now on..."

"Don't be stupid." Liu Guoxuan interrupted him mercilessly.

"What you are attacking now is the capital of the Ming Dynasty. The reputation of Lord Guoxing has already ruined you. Besides, do you think Liu Dapao really cares about the Ming Dynasty? There are thousands of Ming Dynasty clansmen in Chengtian Mansion. Room, did Shang Kexi really kill him? Without Liu Dapao's tacit cooperation, would he be able to kill him?"

I thought to myself, even if Liu Dapao can spare your life, I must die, so why should I not drag you idiot into the water together?

Zheng Jing was even more desperate when he heard the words: "Could it be true that we can only wait for death?"

"On the contrary... there is still one person who can save us."

"Who?"

"Prince Heshuojian, Labu."

Zheng Jing was taken aback when he heard the words: "The Qing court? You, do you want me to join the Qing court? I am the king of Yanping County of the Ming Dynasty, a descendant of the Zheng family, and you want me to join the Qing court as a traitor? Dreaming!"

"Then there is no other way, but to die under Chenghai City."

"........."

Zheng Jing fell into endless silence when he heard the words.

It took a while before he said: "So you actually... have already taken refuge in the Qing court? Huang Fangdu, too, you two are taking me for a fool."

Liu Guoxuan was speechless for a moment, but he could only bite the bullet and explain: "Ming's fall and Qing's prosperity, this is God's will. Heaven's deeds are permanent. They don't exist for Yao, and don't die for Jie. Liu Dapao went against the sky. Sooner or later, we will inevitably end up in ruins, as the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes, if the lord is willing to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, Huang Fangdu and I will naturally respect the lord Wei Zun."

Seeing that Zheng Jing didn't speak, Liu Guoxuan continued to bewitch: "The Qing government has always been extremely generous to generals who voluntarily surrendered, especially now that most of the areas south of the Yangtze River have surrendered, the Qing government urgently needs to invite people to buy people's hearts and boost them. Morale."

"In terms of fame, apart from the five thieves Wu Sangui, Geng Jingzhong, Shang Kexi, Liu Dapao, and Sun Yanling, who else in this world can compare with you? At this time, surrendering is like sending charcoal in the snow. The Qing court must at least recognize your different surname king. position?"

"Or, is the county king really going to lose his life under Chenghai City?"

With trembling hands, Zheng Jing took out a cigar from his pocket, put it in his mouth and lit it. He still learned the habit of smoking cigars from Liu Dapao.

Until the whole cigar was smoked, the eyeballs were red and red, and he didn't know whether it was smoked by the cigar smoke or what, but he finally said: "How to contact Prince Jane, where is the way to survive?"

Liu Guoxuan was overjoyed when he heard the words. You must know that although Zheng Jing is no longer a bullshit in terms of strength, the value of fame is really great. Surrendering with Zheng Jing is far more important than a small general like himself. It is easier to be reused by the Qing court.

Hastily said: "Huang Fangdu has been in contact with Prince Jane for a long time. Although Huang Fangdu is dead now, I believe that Prince Jian has already received the news at this time. In a few days, he will definitely lead the reinforcements to the city."

Zheng Jing frowned and said: "Prince Jian's reinforcements have arrived, I'm afraid Liu Dapao's reinforcements will also arrive? Even if Prince Jian is here, can Chenghai City really be able to be attacked in a hurry?"

But Liu Guoxuan said: "Since Prince Jane has arrived, what does it matter to us whether we can defeat Chenghai City? Since he has expressed his loyalty to the Qing court, even if he fails in the end, the responsibility is also Prince Jane's. Can we still use our knife? Does Kangxi still want to invite and buy the hearts of heroes in the world?"

"In fact, it doesn't matter even if he doesn't come, as long as we spread the news that Prince Jane is coming to help the whole army, the news that this is on the verge of collapse will be stabilized again. Although Chenghai is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are only a few major generals in Chenghai City. But it is certain, our army still has an advantage over Liu Dapao in terms of numbers."

"As long as we can stand firm here, as long as Liu Dapao is not allowed to counterattack, and he does not come, no matter what the reason is, the responsibility for this defeat can be pushed to his head, even if you and I The army is annihilated, as long as you and I don't die and are not captured alive, can the Qing court lose our glory and wealth for the rest of our lives, and the fame and fortune of our descendants?"

Zheng Jing thought about it, but felt that what this guy said seemed to make sense.

After all, Chenghai City is the capital of Ming Dynasty, and attacking Chenghai City itself has huge political significance, even if it cannot be defeated.

Isn't war itself a continuation of politics?

In other words, the two of them can simply play meditation with Liu Dapao. As long as Liu Dapao does not fight, they are already invincible, and as long as Liu Dapao is fired, can't they just run away? Liu Dapao himself has no cavalry .

What's more, Zheng Jing himself is also a political person, and he has vaguely noticed what Liu Dapao means: this guy may not want to let himself surround him for a while.

Even from a purely military point of view, with regard to the defense system of Chenghai, if Labu is really stupid and bumps into him head-on, the lone army goes deep, and the supplies of food and grass are not enough, even if there is an army of [-], I am afraid that it will still be smashed under this city. It's full of bags.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jing's mood suddenly improved.

Can't help but lit another cigar, looked in the direction of Chenghai City and sighed: "This bastion is much more powerful than our previous Anping City, you think, can such a city really be defeated? Does it really have a weakness?"

"As long as it is a city, there must be weaknesses. No matter how exquisite the defense is, there must be omissions. It's just that this thing is a new thing after all. If we really want to find this weakness, we don't know how many lives will be spent to fill it."
