Chapter 975 The Tranquility Before the Storm(1/2)
"Brother Xu, Shigemen, can he invite reinforcements from Nanjing?"
Seeing Shi Kefa take people away soon, Chunni frowned and obviously had a strong sense of distrust of Shi Kefa.
Xu Changqing looked at Chunni's pretty face, how could he not understand her thoughts?
The Chen family did make a lot of money a few years ago, but they were unable to truly whitewash them. In addition, her father was not a "focus on the affairs" and his relationship with the official side was not well maintained, so when the collapse, there was almost no room for resistance.
This leads to Chunni not having much trust in the official position, and it is difficult for her to build trust.
This is probably also the embarrassment of many of the backbone of the Ming Dynasty except for the small group of people at the top.
It’s not that everyone is not patriotic, does not hate the Tartars, and does not want to work hard, but... you can’t make people love, let alone trust...
"Chunni, relax. The Shige Department is different from ordinary officials. He is a person who can do things really, so let's wait patiently for his good news."
Xu Changqing patted Chunni's shoulders and stopped explaining anything, but went toward the camp.
If you want to resolve and rebuild this kind of thing, how can it be achieved through time and place?
Chunni looked at Xu Changqing's back as she gradually walked away, bit her red lips hard, thinking about something.
...
In the next few days, just like the track expected by the Qing army, the model army did not launch any offensive again, but steadily formed a confrontation with them.
This made Shi Tingzhu, who had been tense in his throat, relaxed a little.
However, Shi Tingzhu was so comfortable. Before Dorgon, Duoduo and others could put their hearts back into their stomachs, they suddenly became so angry that their hair was suddenly caused by a piece of news!
"Dog Bastard, I said, Xu Changqing actually came here for no reason! It turns out that the root of this dog Nikan is actually here! Brother, according to the news he has received, Nanjing has smuggled supplies to the Model Junjiangan Camp for at least two nights. In addition, it is said that Shi Kefa has contacted tens of thousands of "righteous people" in Nanjing, and their ambitions are already obvious! We must not let them succeed!"
In Dorgon's central army, Duoduo was furious and said the news they had just received.
To be honest, it cannot be blamed for their intelligence system being too slow, but Shi Kefa has learned a lot of experience. The first thing he did when he went back to Jiangnan was to block the river, which caused the news from Nanjing to come like a muddy bull, and it did not come at the first time.
More than two days have passed since the intelligence system discovered the problem and then recovered after self-inspection.
"This matter is not a bad thing, after all, it does not affect our overall strategy. However, if you really don't care, you always feel something is wrong..."
Jirgalang frowned and seemed to have touched something, but there was still a most important thread missing.
Sony said: "No matter what, it is better to let Xu Changqing succeed. The waterways in Yangzhou are crisscrossing, and Xu Changqing is sinister and cunning. I am afraid that I have to estimate it in the most difficult direction."
Everyone nodded, but there was no big difference. But there was no conclusion on how to stop this move.
Dorgon didn't say a word, thought for a while, and his eyes finally gathered on Hong Chengchou.
At this time, he still trusted Hong Chengchou's judgment more.
Hong Chengchou couldn't help but admire Xu Changqing at this time. This trick of "Farewell to the East" was so easy to play.
It not only brought a lot of hope to Yangzhou, but also brought the dull Nanjing to life.
It was originally a pool of stagnant water, but as it happened, there were signs of survival.
After thinking for a while, Hong Chengchou bowed and said, "Register, I think that Prince Yu and Prince Zheng are all right just now. But if you really want to fight with the Model Army, you may not be wise. My Qing Dynasty has experienced such a long war and needs adjustments and rest.
In my opinion, maybe, I, the Qing Dynasty, could learn from Xu Changqing's appearance at this time. I don't have to send many people there, nor do I have to break through the model army's camp on the river bank, but just stuck them near the river bank and let him
We can't get to Yangzhou.
By then, our Qing Dynasty will only need to spend a little manpower and just withdraw it immediately after the time!
And you can also do some tricks to scare the people in Nanjing, and maybe there will be other miraculous effects."
"this……"
The Manchu and Mongolian royals were a little confused. They came back to their senses for a moment and couldn't help but feel awesome.
Duoduo laughed loudly, feeling that the depression just now disappeared in an instant, and praised: "Mr. Hong's words are extremely true! Xu Changqing is the best at playing tricks and making things mysterious! If we follow Master Hong's method, our Qing Dynasty will use his own way to treat him! At that time, once the model army is destroyed, our Qing Dynasty will be able to directly approach the south of the Yangtze River and make up for all the losses over the years!"
“This plan is feasible!”
Jirgalang also nodded.
"Regent, this plan is feasible..."
Everyone followed the trend and expressed their opinions, fearing that they would not even be able to drink the soup if they were slow.
Although Dorgon was smiling on his face and holding on to the scene, he felt an inexplicable desolation in his heart.
When did the Qing Dynasty actually rely on this mysterious way to survive?
But on the contrary, Dorgon still had to hold on, affirm Hong Chengchou and everyone's wisdom.
...
The Qing army was moving very quickly. In the evening of the next day, several elite cavalry rushed straight towards the Jiangnan camp of the Model Army and quickly set off the camp.
Although most of them are elite cavalry of the Han army flag, there are also many of them in Manchu, which must be a scale of four or five thousand.
Xu Changqing received the news more than half an hour later.
"The Tartars are really vicious. They do this, and they think that our food and salary are trapped in the Jiang'an camp. Brother Xu, their camp is obviously imitating us. In this way, the hot air balloon bombing will not be very effective... What should I do..."
In the big tent, after listening to the military discussion, Chunni could no longer bear it and had a deep grudge.
This is also impossible.
Although the efficiency of Shige's troops was very high, the court also agreed to allocate some food and supplies, but the court's efficiency should not be considered.
The first batch of food and supplies sent here were donated by the righteous people in Jiangnan.
Who would have thought that the Qing army had just approached the river bank and was blocked directly by the Qing army. If they wanted to come over, they would have to force themselves to rush over.
But the Qing army had nearly 20,000 elite cavalry. Unless the model army was desperate, how could it rush over?
Even if the model army doesn’t want to live, the Qing army will be afraid of live. Even Chunni can figure it out, which is definitely not a wise choice.
"Haha, why, Ni'er, where is it? You can't hold back?"
Xu Changqing was not in a hurry at this time, but instead was quite freehand. He poured himself a glass of wine in a regular manner and tasted it with great pleasure.
“…”
When Chunni saw Xu Changqing's leisurely appearance, she didn't get angry.
She was impatient and disliked this kind of slow-sleeping order that was the most unstoppable. She couldn't help but spat: "Brother Xu, do you have to swear with me today? Do you know when it's now, it's going to be late May soon. Looking at this weather, it's probably going to rain in two or three days. How could you still be so calm? This not only concerns the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Yangzhou, but also directly concerns the safety of the entire Jiangnan..."
Seeing Chunni's eyes getting anxious and her eyes turned red, Xu Changqing no longer teased her. She smiled and pulled her closer to her arms, and whispered softly.
"Ai?"
After hearing Xu Changqing's words, Chunni was completely confused. She never thought that this thing could be played like this...
...
As night gradually fell, countless bonfires were lit in the battle formation of the model army, and the camp, which was quite calm during the day, gradually became hustle and bustle.
Many children gathered together in groups of three or five, smoking cigarettes, drinking glasses of wine, bragging, and venting their depression.
Opposite, Shi Tingzhumen had already adapted to this rhythm, and even the sentry on duty were too lazy to pay attention to it.
main
The weather is extremely stuffy these days, and it can be so hot during the day that it can make the dog cooler only at night.
Besides, the model army obviously has no intention of attacking them. Why should they always have a tight face and can't get along with themselves?
It would be better to kill a few more unpleasant mosquitoes around you.
The Han army was in the middle of the white flag, and Shi Tingzhu was also quite relaxed tonight.
The deployment of Jiang'an Daying was already stable, and his fortifications and manpower were all right. Xu Changqing would come to him unless he had a head.
Especially at most, there are three or five days left to enter the "Plum Rain Season", after all, it is rainy and rainy every day.
At that time, even if Xu Changqing has three heads and six arms, what's the fear?
Most of their model soldiers are firearms, and the wet weather alone can make them drink a pot.
As long as he can survive until early June, at most, the Qing Dynasty's plan will be formed.
He Shi Tingzhu was waiting to receive the reward.
Maybe he can also get a place in the Central Plains.
With this kind of relaxation and comfort, Shi Tingzhu specially attracted a few pretty Han people to bed tonight. He had to vent his bad luck and get rid of the bad luck.
...
More than an hour later.
Just as Shi Tingzhu was full of wine and food, he began to show his power on several poor Han female slaves, enjoying their screams.
In the model army battle formation, Chunni was wearing combat uniforms, heroic and heroic, looking at the tall man who was also in combat uniforms and resolute, "Brother Xu, can we start preparing, right?"
Xu Changqing took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. When it was not yet late, he was only early ten o'clock. The dream heat at night had receded a little and gradually became cool.
"Don't worry, go and see how our baby is preparing."
Xu Changqing patted Chunni's shoulders and then stepped forward.
"Oh, OK."
