Huang Zongxi still didn't dare to break up with Xu Changqing.

In fact, he... wanted to give up some ordinary things outside his body, prove his truth with his own body, and interpret his thoughts and glory in this most heroic way to maximize it and leave his name in history.

However.

After thinking about it, racking his brains, thinking about it all the time... he still couldn't make up this decision...

He couldn't bear to leave this sacred face, his beautiful wife and concubine in his hometown of Yuyao, his smart and sensible three sons, and his most respected old mother...

In particular, Xu Changqing in front of him was like a tiger, staring at him playfully and timidly...

"Mr. Zhang, please, my father is here..."

At this time, the sound of Huang Baiyao came from outside, and nearly ten minutes had passed since Xu Changqing and Huang Zongxi finally spoke.

At this point, only looking at Huang Zongxi's painful expression, Xu Changqing understood his decision and no longer oppressed him. He smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, please take a look here first. After that, go and have a good rest. If you want to visit Wuchang City, I will have a holiday for hundreds of medicines these days. I still have some military affairs, so I will welcome Mr. Huang to the evening."

After saying that, Xu Changqing bowed to Huang Zongxi and walked out with a smile.

"I……"

Huang Zongxi wanted to say something, but heard Xu Changqing outside asking Huang Baiyao to take good care of him.

Soon, when Huang Baiyao and an old medical official with Taoist bone fairy style came over, Huang Zongxi still remained calm on his face, but he couldn't stop smiling bitterly in his heart.

Huang Zongxi is also a dignified man, how could he be so backboneless?

...

After going to Zhulin to accompany Zhang Baozhu and Chunni for a while, Xu Changqing quickly received the latest information from Xiangyang.

The Dashun Army had entered a high state of mobilization at this time. According to the estimates of the Model Army's intelligence system, their number of troops had reached more than 300,000, and nearly 400,000.

The numbers look a bit frightening, but there are not many elite soldiers inside. If you have to die, you will only have more than 100,000 soldiers. There are still many miscellaneous soldiers.

At this time, their main forces were basically arranged in three directions, the Qinchuan line on the western line, the Central Plains line on the northern line, and Suizhou and Anlu outskirts on the eastern line.

Among them, the Western Front is its core main force, with a force of about 130,000 to 140,000, and the main general is Ru Hou Liu Zongmin.

There are fewer people in the northern line, only 70,000 to 80,000. The main general is Li Zicheng's confidant Liu Fangliang.

The Eastern Front is also the line where the fewest people at this time and there are changes again.

The original main general was Liu Xiyao, but just last night the news received by the Model Military Intelligence System was that the main general of the Eastern Front had been replaced by Yuan Zongdi.

Although the model military intelligence system was not found at this time, why Dashun changed generals at the last minute, with Xu Changqing's eyesight, he could already touch a lot of things just by looking at this kind of personnel transfer.

Liu Xiyao must be holding his anger in his heart.

Several core generals of the Dashun Army, Liu Zongmin, Gao Yigong, Liu Fangliang, Tian Jianxiu, Li Guo and others, and Liu Xiyao have always been the most unfamous, but his foundation is not weak.

Not only is he brave in fighting, but he is also brave and resourceful. His performance is remarkable in many large-scale battles of the refugee army.

But this guy has one of the biggest drawbacks!

He was not from Li Zicheng's direct lineage, but from the Fifth Camp of the Gate, and in theory he was closer to Luo Rucai, He Yilong, and the old Hui Hui Ma Shouying and others.

This made Liu Xiyao look at his position as a great minister, but in fact, he has always been excluded from the real power center of the Dashun Army.

According to the smoke bombs released by Xu Changqing to the Dashun Army, there is no doubt that the biggest one is naturally the Western Front, but not only was he sent to the Eastern Front where he could not make any achievements, but now he can't even sit firmly on the throne of the main general of the Eastern Front...

Not long after Xu Changqing thought about it, he wrote a letter to Liu Xiyao himself.

When the letter was quickly sent out by Wang Xi, Xu Changqing stretched his waist, breathed a sigh of relief, and said intimately, "Old guy, don't blame me. I just want my Chinese to reduce the inclination and casualties. Otherwise, once you seal your food and grass, you may not be able to hold on for ten days and half a month."

...

At this time, after taking over Wuchang, the encirclement of the Dashun Army was almost done, but the Dashun Army was not the Left Army after all.

They have long since been no longer concerned about the Ming Dynasty court

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

If you are afraid, you will no longer have any worries.

Moreover, the Dashun Army has received a lot of funding from the Model Army, and their combat power is slightly stronger than that of the Zuo Army.

To put it bluntly, combat power sometimes does not equal real efficacy.

For example, when the model army fought the Left Army, the majesty of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years was placed here. Except for the vested interest class of the Left Army, they were determined to follow the Zuo family to the end. Most other people could not have such a strong intention. At most, they were fencemen.

Therefore, it is enough for the model army to attack the Left Army and only attack its core.

But the Dashun Army is completely different!

If the war really starts, let alone those senior generals, I am afraid that young generals will dare to fight the model army. How can I compare this?

In addition, the Wuchang Army units also need some time to rest, so Xu Changqing still has to be patient and stabilize the situation in Wuchang.

...

Xu Changqing was busy flying, but Huang Zongxi was quite comfortable.

First of all, this bamboo garden is a good place to support people. Although he is not at the core area of ​​the bamboo garden, he is a separate and elegant courtyard in the outer garden, which is much more refined than his hometown in Yuyao.

To put it bluntly, although Huang Zongxi is already very famous now, he is a poor scholar, how could his family be compared with such a real rich businessman?

Moreover, Xu Changqing also equipped him with several delicate maids and servants who were extremely sensible at first sight. He said he was taking care of his daily life, but he seemed to give him someone.

This made Huang Zongxi unable to stop thinking about scolding Xu Changqing, but inadvertently accepted Xu Changqing's love in his heart.

This guy is a bit domineering and a bit too much, but he is really not good at doing things.

However, even if he has won Xu Changqing's love, he will definitely not find a pretty maid to defeat the fire now, and then he will fall into the lower level among the lower level.

After a simple lunch, he pulled Huang Baiyao into the room, closed the door, and carefully asked Huang Baiyao about these days, especially the situation of the Battle of Wuchang.

How dare Huang Baiyao beg him?

Even though he had all the information he knew, he revealed in detail to Huang Zongxi.

"What?"

"One evening, Xu Changqing, he took down Wuchang City in one evening, and captured Zuo Liangyu alive?"

When Huang Baiyao was so passionate that he just talked about the Battle of Wuchang, Huang Zongxi interrupted roughly, his eyes falling to the ground, staring at Huang Baiyao directly.

"Geese, father..."

Huang Baiyao was startled, but he realized in a flash that he had completely adapted to the Model Army and had long been used to the Model Army's way of thinking, but he was obviously still an outsider.

He coughed a few times and said, "Father, to be precise, it should be half an hour. If we follow the Western timing method, it will be about fifty minutes. Father, you see, it is from here all the way to here, one hour, which is half an hour mentioned by our Ming Dynasty, and there is still ten minutes left."

Fearing that Huang Zongxi didn't understand, Huang Baiyao hurriedly took out a pocket watch and explained it to him.

"Not less than half an hour?"

Huang Zongxi took the pocket watch and looked at Huang Baiyao over and over again, then hurriedly looked at Huang Baiyao, "Baiyao, tell him truthfully! What's going on? Don't miss a word!"

Huang Baiyao also understood his father's thoughts, and he explained it in more detail.

However, his face was getting worse and worse. By the end, Huang Zongxi's face was gone, and he was pale.

He murmured unstoppablely, "How is this possible? How is this possible? How can it be just using this Lao Shi's flowering bullet and incendiary bomb to take down the majestic Wuchang City? No. 100 medicines. Let's go, accompany me to the North City to take a look."

Huang Baiyao originally wanted his father to cultivate well here, but after all, the journey was exhausted, but he really couldn't stop Huang Zongxi, so he could only ask his personal soldiers to borrow a few horses and accompany Huang Zongxi to the north city.

At this time, although the North City had already recovered its quietness and many craftsmen were repairing it, the terrible trauma left over from the war was still clearly visible.

Many city walls were blown up and there was no time to clean them up. Many blue bricks that could be used to be removed from the city walls were piled up into small hills.

There are more fragments that cannot be used, piles of them, only within the scope of your eyesight

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

There are more than a dozen.

With Huang Zongxi's experience and imagination, he didn't have to work hard at all, and he could imagine the horror of the war.

Although he thought he had overestimated Xu Changqing enough, he understood that he really saw the fruity and bloody reality in front of him... Xu Changqing was much more terrifying than him, including countless people imagined!

After walking around here for a while, Huang Zongxi pulled Huang Baiyao to a small restaurant, asked for a small room near the window on the second floor, and hurriedly asked about the details of the battle in Yangzhou.

"this……"

Huang Baiyao immediately became embarrassed: "Father, no, it's not that the child doesn't want to tell you, yes, it's my model army with discipline, this is a top secret. If you say more, you will be beaten to the board, and in serious cases, you will even be expelled from the army, or even beheaded..."

"you……"

Huang Zongxi was almost angry to death and wanted to kick this unfilial son to death. He told him, could this be a leak?

But seeing Huang Baiyao's straightening look in embarrassment, Huang Zongxi's anger faded a lot.

Although he wanted to spray Huang Baiyao with blood, deep in his heart, why didn’t he be proud of Huang Baiyao?

Even though Xu Changqing is a traitor and now he has become an existence that poses greater threat to the court than the Tartars, he is also the best in the world, the most powerful and capable existence?

And his legitimate son Huang Baiyao was able to become a close relative to Xu Changqing and join the army. Even if he thought about it, Huang Zongxi could still know his son's bright future.

but.

As I, he certainly cannot praise his son.

This is also a huge gap between Eastern and Western civilizations. The Chinese people have to be much more restrained.
