Chapter 364: Military Advice! Military Advice!

Suzhou.

Council.

This synagogue is a standard Mingtang style, standing high above the base, surrounded by elegant gardens, and a large number of outbuildings on the outside...

After years of construction, it has become very standardized here.

After all, this is also the center that actually dominates the two provinces and the combined population of more than five million.

So there are not only councils, but also employees serving the councils, especially notes, praises, delivery of orders, guards, and so on, and even those who serve tea and water to the elders. Although the elders actually don’t live here, there are manors around them, even from Songjiang to get here, it’s only 200 miles, and the waterway is smooth, and even these elders keep dragon boats that specialize in carrying them.

Well, it's just a simple dragon boat.

After all, in inland shipping, speed is still something that needs to be said.

But today the elders gathered together, but what they discussed was the end of the council...

"A group of old people, who have not seen anyone with 100,000 elite soldiers, seeking to surrender the enemy!"

Qian Longxi, wearing a black uniform of the ever-winning army, walked out of the Susong Council angrily.

Shen Shixing and the other two are back.

They brought back Yang Feng's promise, so the elders of Susong Council were discussing whether to accept the reality, end their nearly five years of resistance, and surrender to the evil they called.

However, it is still under discussion, and it should be discussed for a while, and it may not even end today.

After all, the interests of the elders are different.

Besides, they are just talking about major events, so it’s not considered a discussion for three or five days.

But in general, surrender should be stable, otherwise there is no need to discuss it. Su Song, the group that had previously resisted the most resolutely, is now ready to surrender to Yang Feng.

And their choice will also determine Zhejiang's choice.

On this issue, the two families are advancing and retreating together. After all, it is impossible for Susong to resist alone if he surrendered to Zhejiang. Similarly, if Zhejiang surrendered to Susong, there is no point in resisting. This group can only advance and retreat together, so Song Yingchang also attended the meeting. There is still a quarrel in it, but there will be no suspense in the result.

Qian Longxi, who walked out of the hall, really wanted to whistle to the sky...

Why?

Could it be that the last five years of resistance will eventually lead to the end of surrender?

They had a powerful army, 50,000 ever-winning troops, all new armor, one or two bombs of turtle dove guns, new tactical training, plus those fortresses, more than 500 cannons, and even five thousand elite new cavalry, including five thousand Taixi mercenaries. Although most of them were A San, this mercenary was very loyal and there were no need to worry about turning against each other. Moreover, they also had a fleet of twenty-two warships.

They also have Jiangyin Fortress, Wuxi Fortress Group, Pingwang Fortress, and Suzhou City, where eight bastions have been built.

All other prefectures and counties have also completed new transformations.

Although the attack is still a bit insufficient, it is more than enough to protect yourself.

He even surrendered like this?

Fourteen thousand people were disarmed together, but not one of them was a man?

He really doesn't understand why this is?

Isolated and helpless?

Yang Feng controlled the area in the south, and there was less Su Song, who could be said to be the most important one. In the north, he only controlled the two prefectures of Shuntian and Yongping, and in fact, he was isolated from the north and the south.

How many people in the world are still fighting him?

All the five northern provinces did not surrender. The gentry in the north had even shouted the slogan of blood protecting the religion. Under the command of Fang Congzhe, even the gentry in the north could shout such a slogan. Su Song, who was proud of poetry, books, etiquette and music, was going to surrender? Hundreds of thousands of troops of the Hongguang court in the south were in the upper reaches and could attack Nanjing again at any time. Su Song was going to surrender? Even Guangxi chose to fight Yang Feng!

Su Song actually wants to surrender?

Then why did you resist?

Why is the army built with huge amounts of money?

Five years of hard work and the efforts of all the people of kindness and ambition ultimately ended up not shooting a single shot and surrendering?

shame!

It's simply a shame!

He rode on the war horse with anger.

He is actually a praising painting of the Pingwang Fort Guard Division, which is the staff. Currently, the Changsheng Army is divided into four garrison divisions. The garrison is the highest commander. Each garrison division has a series of fortresses, which are stationed by the Changsheng Army, and then stationed mobile troops in Jiangyin, Wuxi, Pingwang and Suzhou. In their plan, they did not plan to fight against the Red Turban Army, at most they would attack small-scale cavalry, and then use these fortresses to consume the Red Turban Army.

As long as the Red Turban Army had no choice but to even suffer heavy losses in the face of their fortress system, the Hongguang Dynasty's army and other anti-Yang forces would inevitably attack.

At that time, Yang Feng had to withdraw his troops.

Susong will also be the turning point of this five-year war.

The Su Song scholars who grew up with the war have actually learned to really use their brains. They are no longer Gu Tianxia from the past...

At least they think so.

With angry Qian Longxi running wildly in Suzhou City.

The city is still prosperous, but it is actually a prosperous life that has never been seen before. The whole city is almost a huge textile factory. The crowded crowds are trading cotton yarn and cotton cloth. Carts and boats are transporting cotton and cloth. There are huge water wheels rotating between the bridges and flowing water. The shops on both sides of the street are crowded with people and merchants are clamoring.

This is the best time.

In the era of gentlemen in their jealousy, although there is more money, who says gentlemen in their jealousy cannot make a fortune?

But it is about to become the worst era.

The era of unruly people.

Suddenly Qian Longxi took the horse...

"Old guy, I want to find a place where no one is going!"

His guards angrily scolded an old beggar who fell on the road because he could not dodge.

"Damn it, don't know how to respect the elderly?"

Qian Longxi shouted.

Then he threw a silver coin at random, because overseas trade was booming, this kind of silver coin was already very common in the Ming Dynasty.

"Zhiwen is still very kind-hearted!"

A voice sounded next to it.

Qian Longxi turned his head and saw Yao Ximeng wearing military uniforms like him. The latter winked at him. Qian Longxi immediately passed by. The two exchanged gazes, then walked to a courtyard behind him, and then went to the garden together. After entering, they saw that there had been a large number of officers gathered in the water pavilion. They said they were officers, but in fact they were young scholars of Su Song. Now these scholars no longer read the Four Books and Five Classics. After all, the imperial examinations have been stopped. Although Chengtian still held the imperial examinations, they were from three families in Huguang, Jiangxi, Guangxi, and the two fence-grabbing families in Fujian and Zhejiang were also marginalized when they went to participate.

These scholars who claim to be literary and elegant are also disdainful of going there.

On the contrary, military power is becoming more and more important.

So the families behind them simply stuffed them into the ever-winning army and seized military power first. But if you want to talk about the current line officers, it would be exaggerated. That would kill people, and this kind of staff position is undoubtedly the most suitable.

Then the praises and paintings from the garrison are all such families.

They are all ambitious and think that they have the talent to overcome the world and restore the bright world as their mission. The surrender route of the Council is undoubtedly a great stimulation to them. The rage suppressed by the old people finally erupted...

"All 140,000 people were disarmed, Ning Wuyi was a man? These old people were confused and believed in the monster. The blood of the gentry who was falsely accused of being searched by the unlucky people after surrendering had not yet dried up. They actually believed in Yang Feng. After handing over the army, how should Yang Feng resist when his knife fell? Following Yingtian's order, the Red Turban Army will not enter the country and the Changsheng Army will not be reorganized. Only in this way can we consider it!"

Suzhou garrison officer praised Hou Zhenyang and shouted.

"Consider? We are all loyal ministers of Your Majesty. How do you consider surrendering the thief?"

My colleague Miao Changqi shouted.

"Yes, we are all loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Only by fighting the demon to the end, the wise men in Shandong can still use blood to protect the teachings. With 100,000 elite soldiers, how can we surrender? How can the disciples of sages surrender! With blood to protect the teachings, we will never surrender!"

The youngest colleague Guo Zhongning shouted with great momentum.

...

The scene can be said to be exciting.

It's obvious that they've been talking about it for a long time.

"Everyone, it's useless to say these things now. The council is a group of old people who will never listen to our loyal opinions. They can only do extraordinary things!"

Yao Ximeng said.

All the people, including Qian Longxi, looked at him.

"Soldiers!"

Yao Ximeng said very simply.

"A military advisory is a good idea, but we cannot mobilize our troops. Zhou Wen'an is cowardly and incompetent, but the order of the Council is obeyed. Although the Suzhou Garrison Department has 20,000 troops, if there is no other order, we cannot mobilize them. What's more, the Suzhou militia will not listen to us. It was Yuan Kunyi's command. If we go to the Council for military advisory, we may be taken down by the guards immediately."

Miao Changqi said.

In fact, the elders in the council also knew that they were all verbal and did not expect them to do anything. The Suzhou garrison was Zhou Daodeng, the idiot Grand Secretary Chongzhen...

Of course, they are not stupid, they are pretending to be stupid.

To serve a master like Chongzhen, you have to pretend to be stupid before you can stay alive for a long time.

Although he had almost no military talent, as the core Suzhou garrison, he was absolutely obedient to the council.

In addition, a main armed force in Suzhou is the militia.
