Chapter 188 What means can the pickled villain have?

The troops were also at the city, this time the Ming army did not give up Yangzhou, and even broke out of the city to annihilate the invading enemies, making the people in the city grateful. When they returned to the city, there were almost no people left, and they came to welcome the army to win and return to the city.

The last time Shi Kefa squatted in the city, and was frightened by the Qing soldiers and forgot how to resist, it directly led to the massacre of 300,000 people in Yangzhou. The surviving people in Yangzhou have long become frightened birds. Less than a year after the massacre, and some survivors' wounds have not yet been healed.

When Li led Tai to lead his troops, the entire Yangzhou was in great panic. Fear filled the sky above Yangzhou like a lingering haze.

Fortunately, in today's battle, the idea that the Qing soldiers' courage and invincible was completely broken.

There are no tricks or strange plans, and they rely on fighting on the battle formation and killing the arrogant Li Rutai in front of the formation.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Hou Xuanyan felt very uncomfortable. It was the duty of soldiers to defend the territory and defend the enemy, but by the end of the Ming Dynasty, it became a rare and valuable thing.

Since Wu Sangui opened the switch, except for the Dashun Army who resisted one after another, they almost surrendered when they heard the news. Just Jiannu outside the pass was even smoother than the Mongolian Yuan invasion in the south, which shows that the country's power in the late Ming Dynasty was really rotten. If it could not be removed and replaced, the outcome would probably not change.

The scenery is the most beautiful city in Huainan, Mingzhu City by the Yangtze River. When you take a quick look at the flowers, you can vaguely see the famous capital in Huainan. The place where the bamboo is beautiful in the past is prosperous and prosperous, and the charming weather. The people on the street cheered all the way to send them to the yamen.

Hou Xuanyan jumped off his horse and walked to the yamen. A personal soldier had already come back early and ordered the fire to cook.

Everything was simple during the war. Hou Xuanyan, Lee Ho-hyun and several ginseng generals surrounded a large pot with boiled cabbage slices, which were fragrant. The generals who fought for a whole day were not polite and swallowed them voraciously.

While scattering the meal, Hou Xuanyan said, "Yangzhou is the first city we crossed the river and made a northern expedition, radiating to several military towns in Jiangbei. I see that the Liehuo Camp will stay in Jiangbei and don't go back."

Lee Haoxian untied the wine bag from his waist, took a sip, and handed it to Hou Xuanyan and asked, "Then where are we stationed?"

Hou Xuanyan smelled the aroma of wine, and thought that there was still a lot of things today. He forced himself to put down his wine bag and said, "You go to Taizhou and I will go to Songjiang in a few days. I will send a batch of new muskets imitated by our arsenal to your camp and try the firepower. If the effect is OK, it will be produced in large quantities and promoted. Firearms are still useful. When fighting, you can shoot enemies from a distance, which can reduce our casualties."

Li Haoxian had long printed the Yangzhou map in his mind. After hearing this, he put down his bowls and chopsticks and thought for a while and said, "Hou Tu Camp is far away in Luzhou, and Fengzi Camp is still in Huguang. If we were both in Jiangbei, would the commander-in-chief want it..."

Hou Xuanyan glanced at him, tilted his head and cursed, "I was such a hero who was carrying two people and a dog. Now that Jiangsu and Zhejiang are all in control, can we keep 100,000 people by our side to protect it? I am a delicate daughter, and I don't have the truth to raise 100,000 bodyguards. Don't talk nonsense, guard Yangzhou for me, and support each other with Zhu Dadian. Yangzhou is very deep in the east and west, facing the six important places of Yingtian Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, Zhenjiang Prefecture, Changzhou Prefecture, and Songjiang Prefecture across the river. If you guard Yangzhou, we will be safe and worry-free."

Li Haoxian is invincible, but his mind is not meticulous enough, and sometimes he is inevitably a little omission. Fortunately, he is never taboo. Knowing his shortcomings, he likes to find some smart people around him and give advice. In the past, Zhang Huangyan was his deputy general, so he complemented each other. Now Zhang Huangyan has been in the court as the Minister of War, and he has searched for a few more and stayed by his side.

Zheng Hanqing, who was eating delicious food on the side, was one of them. After hearing Hou Xuan's words, his face looked a little worried.

"The General of the Supervisor, as the saying goes, "The General of the Supervisor must not have the intention to harm others, and the person must be guarded against others. Although the General of the Supervisor must be vigilant, you must not be careless." These things are very sensitive. After all, Nan'an Prefecture is now the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and Zheng Hanqing has many concerns. He can only click and know that Hou Xuanyan will definitely understand it.

Hou Xuanyan looked up at him unexpectedly. Li Haoxian was born with a short-term protection. Although he was of high status and powerful, he was still a big brother in the world. He hurriedly said, "The Supervisor is my favorite general. He has no restraint when he speaks at a young age. Don't be as knowledgeable as him."

Hou Xuanyan laughed and said, "Why do you think I am? You can't even listen to some opinions?" He pointed and asked, "What's your name?"

"The last general Zheng Hanqing."

Hou Xuanyan nodded and said, "There are all people in the hall. If you have anything to say, just let it go."

When Lee Haoxian heard this, he quickly patted his shoulder and said, "That's right, just say it."

Zheng Hanqing also put down his bowls and chopsticks, pondered for a moment and said, "Since your Majesty arrived in Jinling, he has recruited a group of civil officials in Jiangnan and gathered with him. Although this is a normal thing, these people are all Chongzhen and Hongguang old ministers. Looking at their previous actions, they can be said to be experts in internal fighting. For the sake of power, these people do everything and make all kinds of tricks. The general must not have hope for their bottom line. These people have no bottom line."

Hou Xuanyan praised silently in his heart. The man saw it very clearly. He clicked a few chopsticks to signal him to continue.

Seeing that he did not blame him, Zheng Hanqing gradually became bolder and continued, "No matter what the reason is, it is a fait accompli for us now in Jiangnan. More than half of the power in Jiangnan is in the hands of the commander. This is enough to make those people hate the commander to the core. Jinling and Suzhou are not far away. If someone hastily wanted to harm the commander, the consequences will be unimaginable. I don't know how many good generals are left in the hands of these pickled little people."

Hou Xuanyan thought to himself, I have a Qianxiang Camp and knows them well. It is really not easy for this general to see it by himself. He deliberately asked, "In your opinion, what should I do?"

Zheng Hanqing's face turned red and he wanted to speak but stopped. He turned to look at Li Haoxian, who gave him an encouraging look. Zheng Hanqing was in agitation and was about to blurt out the shocking thoughts he had in his daily life.

Hou Xuanyan quickly stopped him and said, "Okay, I know what you mean. One thing you need to know is that I am not Xiong Tingbi, nor Lu Xiangsheng. Speaking of harming people, even if the mice in the gutter use all their means, they will regret not moving the towering mountains and rivers. Suzhou and Hangzhou are in my control, and no one can harm me in Jiangnan. You can just guard Yangzhou."
