Looking down the open city gate, the long street was filled with countless people.

Some of them had blood on their bodies and some had vegetables on their faces, but everyone was ecstatic about the aftermath of the disaster.

Two military generals accompanied a middle-aged civil servant to greet them.

Wang Xuejun didn't know Shi Kefa, so he tilted his head and asked: "Is the one who came here? Supervisor Shi Kefa?"

The civil servant came to the ground with a bow: "The governor of Yangzhou is Ren Minyu, and I pay homage to the Regent."

Oh, the relationship is the prefect of Yangzhou, not Shi Kefa. This made Wang Xuejun a little disappointed and relieved. He was worried about gains and losses.

What was disappointed was that the real Yangzhou chief is now Shi Kefa, and he is not welcome to his arrival.

But it’s gratifying that this is good, otherwise you will seize the military power in Yangzhou and will inevitably have a conflict with Shi Kefa.

Now that he doesn't come, at least now, he won't fight in front of all the military and civilians of Yangzhou, and there will be a buffer here.

After paying homage to Wang Xuejun, Ren Minyu straightened up and answered Wang Xuejun's inquiry: "The Shige Army has been exhausted for many days and has fallen ill. Now he is recuperating at home and has not come to welcome the prince in person. The subordinates here have apologized for the Shige Army."

Shi Kefa did not come, and Wang Xuejun was very disappointed.

But Ren Minyu said that Shi Kefa was sick and could not get up, and Wang Xuejun breathed a sigh of relief.

As Ren Minyu entered the city, the city gate closed again.

Wang Xuejun did not greet Ren Minyu, and directly ordered the army he led to go to the city immediately and join the Yangzhou guards.

Three thousand people, for the ten-mile Yangzhou city wall, it is just sesame noodles.

But these were stimulants, and the army was separated, and there were cheers everywhere. Yangzhou, which was originally desperate, came back to life in such cheers.

When he arrived at the prefect's office, the officials and generals defending everywhere gathered together. Wang Xuejun respectfully took out the will of Emperor Chongzhen from his backpack and showed it to everyone: "This is the edict of enthronement to the king by Emperor Daxinglie. Let's see, what are your objections?"

Wang Xuejun wanted to use this method to take the lead and determine his superior position.

Ren Minyu took it respectfully and carefully watched the content. It was the notes of the late emperor; then looked at the jade seal below, it was true.

He returned with both hands, and then knelt down respectfully with civil and military officials: "I respect the will of the late emperor, I will pay homage to the regent, and pay homage to the son-in-law."

This reverence completely recognized Wang Xuejun's status. In this way, Wang Xuejun was much higher than Shi Kefa, whether in his official position or title.

After helping everyone up and sitting down, Wang Xuejun asked: "Shigemen is sick, who is in charge of the city?"

He put Shi Kefa first and the meaning is obvious. When Shi Kefa is sick, he can no longer take charge of major events. Then there must be someone in charge of the matter now.

Why can't Ren Minyu hear the meaning of Wang Xuejun seizing the dominance of Yangzhou?

But this is exactly what everyone wants.

To be honest, it is also the truth. During this period of time in charge of Yangzhou, Shi Kefa's command and dispatch were simply a mess.

First of all, before the siege, there were Gansu Town General Li Qifeng, and Gao Qifeng, the military supervisor, who led 4,000 troops into the city.

The two of them actually meant not to help defend the city, but to hijack Shi Kefa and surrender to the Qing Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty as their advancement.

Shi Kefa resolutely said: "This is where I die. What is the Duke? If you want to be rich and honor, please give me your own advice." This is a sense of righteousness.

Since Shi Kefa was going to defend Yangzhou and confront the Qing Dynasty, he should have killed these two guys directly to the military and civilians in the city, demonstrated his determination to fight to the end of the war, strengthened the hearts of the military and civilians, and boosted morale.

We shouldn't just let them go so lightly.

Li Qifeng and Gao Qifeng saw that there was no chance to take advantage of it, and on the 22nd, they led their troops and colluded with Hu Shangyou, the general of Sichuan in the city, and Han Shangliang went out to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

It would be fine if you don’t kill them, but just let them go out, even if they are cheap, you have to detain the four thousand men of theirs. At this critical moment, four thousand men are so important to Yangzhou City, which is short of soldiers.

As a result, not only did they let the two men go and their soldiers, but they also watched them kidnap a soldier in Yangzhou City.

This not only cuts off the firewood from the bottom of the pot, but also hits the morale of Yangzhou.

At that time, Ren Minyu spoke out against the suggestion.

But Shi Kefa used the reason to prevent them from surrendering, and would let them go without banning them.

However, when it comes to setting up city defenses, it is even more inexplicable, and it is extremely overwhelming with nerd spirit.

When the Qing army first arrived at the city, it was only three thousand soldiers of Zhang Tianfu and Zhang Tianlu brothers,

At that time, Yangzhou General Liu Zhaoji suggested that he would go out of the city to fight before the enemy arrived and not stand firm.

At that time, there were soldiers in Yangzhou, totaling 10,000. It was certain that they would go out of the city to annihilate the long-deadly exhausted Green Camp soldiers.

This will not only weaken the enemy's strength, but also attack the enemy's spirit and enhance the morale of the military and civilians in Yangzhou. It's really a killing of multiple goals.

But Shi Kefa said: "You should not try your best to try your best, and you should keep your whole sword to die." He simply became a mentality of waiting for the knife.

In terms of city guarding, the terrain of the west gate of Yangzhou’s old city is low-lying, but there is a hill next to it outside the city, overlooking the city. If the enemy occupies this place, you can set up cannons to directly bombard Yangzhou.

Therefore, Ying Tingji suggested that he led his troops to occupy the lower heights, log and build camps, and become the corners of Yangzhou Xicheng. In this way, it would be equivalent to controlling the entire Xicheng and creating conditions for withdrawing power and strengthening other directions.

However, this place is the ancestral tomb of Li Huan in Xinghua, with dense and tall trees.

As a result, when Shi Kefa faced Ying Tingji's suggestion, he actually believed that this place was the ancestral tomb of the Li family Shihuan and could not be disturbed. Cutting those trees was the Li family's cemetery, and he could not be cut down, so he firmly refused.

As a result, on the night of the 24th, at the beginning of the war, the Qing army used the terrain here to smash the city wall with red-clothed cannons.

Judging from these situations, Shi Kefa, as the commander of the heavy army of Jianghuai in the Southern Ming Dynasty, had very ordinary knowledge and talents. Compared with Yan Yingyuan, Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu led the people in the city to fight against the Qing Dynasty for 83 days, which was more than a thousand feet apart.

Now Yangzhou is just a mess, and everyone wants someone who understands it to take over.

This time, Wang Xuejun is here.

Although he had doubts about Wang Xuejun's identity, everyone has long heard of all the deeds since Wang Xuejun's sudden birth.

Especially when he was in Zhulong River, Ziya River led a group of refugees to defeat the Qing Dynasty's pursuers, because compared with the ancient Liu Bei Changbanpo, it was even more familiar to everyone and well-known to everyone.

Later, he defeated Liu Zejue and then broke the siege of Dezhou. It was even more amazing that everyone was rumored to be.

At this time, a soldier-knowing person entered Yangzhou. Who would take over if you don’t take over this mess? Everyone would like to take over you.

So, the civil and military officials of Yangzhou, led by Ren Minyu, stood up and asked: "Since the Regent is here, we are willing to be the foreman."

Wang Xuejun smiled and achieved his goal.
