Chen Qianfu came to Zhu Yihai with a piece of urgent information that had just arrived.
"Jiangyin revolted!"
Zhu Yihai took it and fell into deep thought after reading it.
"Your Highness is not satisfied with the result?" Chen Qianfu misunderstood.
"No, I didn't expect that Wang Zhengzhong performed so well and opened up the situation in Jiangyin so quickly. Things were done very well. In this way, a decree was drawn up and Wang Zhengzhong and Su Song were assigned as deputy envoys to patrol Changzhen Road and Changzhen Army Preparation Road."
"Awarded to Yan Yingyuan and Su Songzuo to participate in politics and guard Changzhen Road."
"Chen Mingyu granted Su Song the right to participate in politics and serve as the prefect of Changzhou."
"Cheng Bi and Su Song were appointed as counselors and supervisors of the Changzhen Grain Reserve Road."
"Xu Guanhai was awarded the title of Chief Soldier of Changzhen, and Shao Kang was awarded the title of Deputy Chief Soldier."
"Xu Xiang was granted the magistrate of Jiangyin County."
······
Zhu Yihai appointed many officials at once. The original Nanzhili in the Ming Dynasty was split into four provinces by Zhu Yihai: Jiangning, Susong, Anhui, and Huaiyang, each with a governor and governor. However, at this stage, only Susong and Changzhen are the four prefectures, which are in a tug of war.
among.
After hearing this, Chen Qianfu took a note and wrote it down. He didn't think it was too surprising.
Although Chen Mingyu and Yan Yingyuan were originally low-ranking classics and historians, they now directly hold the title of political councilor and serve as Daotai or magistrates, which are both fourth-grade.
Cheng Bi was just a businessman, and he was also awarded the title of Consultant on Grain Storage.
Prime Minister Xu was not only a scholar, but also a county magistrate.
But he himself was only a civil servant, and he was treated like a minister of the imperial state. He had just been transferred to the minister of Dali Temple. During his career, he also assisted in military affairs and participated in secret affairs.
Nowadays, employing people in an eclectic way has long been the style of supervising the country.
Although Shaoxing is already preparing to hold a provincial examination and plans to hold a joint examination next year, this does not hinder the employment style of the country.
Just like Yang Boxing, the former woodcutter, is now the chief soldier of Yulin Town, Zhang Quan, the chief soldier of Yongwei Town, was originally just a veteran of Yongwei.
Ma Jixiang has become the commander of Jinyiwei and the supervisor of Majun, the bodyguard of the bodyguard.
"In the Changzhen area, regardless of the rivers and lakes in Caoze, as long as you raise the flag of righteousness to respond to the resistance against the captives, Gudu will accept it, and let the brave and righteous people from the nearby villages in Jiangyin gather in Jiangyin to help defend the city wall. When the Gubei Expeditionary Army regains Jiangnan, they will be rewarded one by one for their merits."
After saying this, Zhu Yihai fell into silence again.
Historically, Jiangyin resisted the Tatars and refused to shave their heads. They resisted for eighty-one days. In the end, the people of the city perished together with the city, composing a tragic and tragic history.
Today, the Jiangyin Uprising is earlier than in history.
The most important thing is that the situation in Jiangnan is now better. Su Song and Taicang Prefecture have almost recovered, and his Northern Expedition army has arrived. The only uncertainty now is that the Boluo army and monks who went north from Hangzhou are in Nanjing.
The Dodo army.
Chen Qianfu and the others would never have imagined that Jiangyin, a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, could have such a tragic event in its history. Zhu Yihai hoped to save Jiangyin and avoid such a tragedy from happening again.
"Have Huang Fei and Wu Zhikui responded?" Zhu Yihai put away his mind and asked. Yuan Zongdi led the Jinwu Cavalry and was rushing to Suzhou. Zhu Yihai led the brigade to follow up. He sent an envoy to see Huang Fei and Wu Zhikui, hoping that they would
We can postpone the attack on the city and wait for him to join forces before attacking Suzhou together.
"There is no news. I think that Generals Huang and Wu are now besieging Suzhou with 50,000 to 60,000 troops, and Suzhou is empty. They must not be willing to wait for us."
Normal people think that taking Suzhou is a matter of course now, but Zhu Yihai's kind reminder seems to be that he wants to prevent them from winning this victory, wants to get a share of the pie, and even wants to snatch the fruits of victory.
Even Chen Qianfu felt that although Huang Fei and the others had been procrastinating and delayed the attack on Suzhou for too long, they had now reached the city and could attack one or two thousand with fifty or sixty thousand. This was a sure thing. Who could do it at this juncture?
Can you bear it?
Even he was wondering why the Supervisory Council wanted Huang Fei and the others to suspend their attack.
Zhu Yihai didn't know why Generals Huang and Wu were defeated in the Battle of Suzhou despite their superior strength, but he remembered that they were indeed defeated.
"Instruct the whole army to speed up and advance." Zhu Yihai can only hope that this time he can change history.
······
Under Suzhou City.
The night is vast.
Wu Zhikui mobilized his elite servants and recruited hundreds of dead soldiers to form the Eight Hundred Death Squadron.
"Bring the money!"
Boxes of silver were brought in. Wu Zhikui opened the box, and the silver was shining brightly.
"The suicide squad will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver per person. If they can capture the formation and break the city first, they will be rewarded with thirty taels of silver afterwards."
Looking at these coins, all the death squad members' eyes shone.
"Bring me the wine!"
A jar of wine was brought up, and Wu Zhikui asked them to fill it up, "Do it!"
After drinking, the bowl is empty and the bowl is thrown.
The suicide squad members, smelling of alcohol, put twenty taels of silver into their waists. Even if they died, they would still have money to buy their way. If they survived, they would have fifty taels of silver.
"If you kill a thief, you will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver. If you kill a prisoner, you will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver. If you can capture and kill the fake governor Tu Guo Bao, you will be rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver, and your official rank will be increased by three levels!"
Under the heavy reward, all the suicide squad members' faces were glowing with excitement.
One by one, they were neatly dressed and headed towards the west gate of Suzhou under the cover of night.
There, there will be internal response from the gentry in the city.
Wu Zhikui raised his horse with his sword drawn, leading thousands of troops behind him, ready to charge into the city at any time.
He didn't wait for Huang Fei.
This opportunity is rare, let’s capture Suzhou first.
He looked back at the troops behind him. They were eight thousand soldiers. In addition to the eight hundred elite suicide squads who had already set off, there were three hundred servant troops beside him.
The remaining eight thousand troops include many new soldiers.
Although his clothes and armor were incomplete and his training was insufficient, he believed that as long as the elite death squads captured the Xumen, Suzhou City, which had only a thousand people at that time, could be conquered in one fell swoop.
New recruits cannot fight against a headwind, but they can still fight against a tailwind.
He was already imagining his victory when facing the captured Tu national treasure.
Deputy Commander-in-Chief Lu Zhiyu personally led eight hundred death squads to Xu's gate. The lights on the city were dim.
"Send signal!"
Birds chirped rhythmically.
No one responded for a long time, and when everyone was extremely anxious, the promised hoot of an owl finally came from the city.
Immediately afterwards, three lanterns were lit on the city, two red and one green.
The lantern was moving, and Lu Zhiyu quickly led others to follow it. Finally, it stopped with the lantern, and a rope was thrown under the city. Lu Zhiyu excitedly grabbed the rope first and took the lead in climbing the city.
Everything went very smoothly, so smoothly that Lu Zhiyu forgot to be careful.
The moment he stepped onto the top of the city, he pulled out his axe, looked around, and felt the urge to look up to the sky and roar.
Nei Ying came over with a lantern and said, "Follow me!"
Lu Zhiyu led the first-person suicide squad down the city wall along the horse road, and went around to the Xumen. A group of guards were dozing off with guns in their arms. They touched them and easily dealt with them, although a few guards came in the end.
The desperate struggle made some noise, but it no longer affected him.
Lu Zhiyu removed the city gate bolt with one arm, and several suicide squads quickly opened the city gate.
The suicide squads outside swarmed in.
Lu Zhiyu excitedly waved his ax and took the lead in charging in.
The death squads rushed into the city like a tide, flowing unimpeded. The puppet troops in Suzhou City seemed to be still sleeping.
"Set up rockets and invite Mr. Wu to enter the city!"
