Borrow the day to change the day

Zhong Jinwei closed his eyes, leaned on the back of the chair, and thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a particularly good solution.So he sat up straight, opened his eyes and said to Cao Wenzhao: "The food rationing system is implemented, and the daily rations of all people in Shenyang City are distributed uniformly. As for the Jianlu, it's enough if they don't starve to death."

"Yes, Lord Hou." Cao Wenzhao agreed, but still looked at Zhongxing Hou.This is a solution to the symptoms rather than the root cause, and it can only alleviate the crisis temporarily.

Seeing Cao Wenzhao's appearance, Zhong Jinwei knew that he was still looking forward to a better solution, so he said to him: "It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the only way to solve this problem is to wait for the troops from all walks of life to return, the war in Liaodong is really over, and return to Beijing in triumph." .”

Seeing that Cao Wenzhao wanted to speak, he took a step forward and said: "I have already mentioned in the victory report that a batch of food and supplies need to be brought over, and there should be some. In this way, I will also write to Mr. Sun of Shanhaiguan A letter, let him also send some food over there."

The use of these methods is also the ultimate in the current situation.Cao Wenzhao nodded in admiration, and went out to do errands.

Let’s talk about Phi Island, since the army set off, Chen Jisheng, the general soldier of Dongjiang Town, would go to the pier every day to stroll around.Sometimes, although he knew that even if everything went well, it was impossible for him to return so early.But he would still go to the pier, and he wouldn't sleep well if he didn't go to the pier anyway.

Although most of the troops on Phi Island had been taken away by Zhongcheng, it would be relatively deserted in theory, but in fact it was not.

There are often North Korean ships approaching the pier, and then sell their specialties to the Ming Army Disabled Chamber of Commerce on the island.

This chamber of commerce was organized by Zhang Xianzhong, because he is a fighting hero himself, and he is also the confidant of Governor Denglai. In addition, his four godsons are involved in the relationship with Zhongxing Hou. Therefore, no one will find him. Trouble with this chamber of commerce.

Driven by this chamber of commerce, the trade between Phi Island and the North Koreans is quite prosperous.North Korea's domestic economy is in disarray, leading to inflation in its own country.Therefore, no matter the North Korean people or its officials, they all fell in love with the hard currency of Daming Jiusibao banknotes.

Through trade with the chamber of commerce, the Daming Jiusibao banknotes are obtained, and then circulated to North Korea. The circulation trend of this currency is slowly spreading.

North Korea's special products, especially high-grade tonics such as Korean ginseng, are quite popular in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.Zhang Xianzhong's prices are affordable, and they are often sold out as soon as he enters.Therefore, he came back to Phi Island during this period of time, planning to buy more and go to the capital.

One day, he was doing business with some North Korean businessmen at the pier when he suddenly saw Chen Jisheng strolling to the pier again.Just when the deal was completed, Zhang Xianzhong greeted Chen Jisheng with a smile, "Marshal Chen, let's go for a walk again!"

For Zhang Xianzhong, Chen Jisheng didn't dare to put on airs, he smiled and replied: "Yes, Xiaoxiaoshi! How is the business going?"

"It's okay. A group of comrades who have retired from the army have joined in, and everyone's life has improved a lot." Zhang Xianzhong said, with a rather proud expression on his face.

Speaking of which, Chen Jisheng admired Zhang Xianzhong a lot.Logically speaking, Zhang Xianzhong's rewards for his previous meritorious service are enough for his retirement.What's more, the four adoptive sons he adopted were not ordinary people, they were the god-nephews of Marquis Zhongxing.With this relationship, Zhang Xianzhong's life will be better.

But Zhang Xianzhong did not stay idle at home, and set up this chamber of commerce with his disabled colleagues in the army.In the end, it did so well that many disabled soldiers in the army became the pillars of their families.This situation has never happened before.

After chatting with Chen Jisheng for a while, Zhang Xianzhong said to him, "Commander, how far do you think the Liaodong war will go?"

Although he is crippled, his heart is still concerned about the situation on the Liaodong battlefield.It can even be said that he cares more than Chen Jisheng.

Because one is that he fought for it and changed the war against captives for the rest of his life, and he was very concerned about the outcome;

The second is that his four godsons all participated in this war, as well as his fellow villagers, his benefactors Denglai governor Lu Xiangsheng and Zhongxing Hou, these factors made him very concerned.

But because he retired from the army, he didn't know much about the details of the battle, so he asked Chen Jisheng.

After hearing this, Chen Jisheng was still a little worried, otherwise he wouldn't come to the pier every day for a stroll.But on the surface, he still smiled and said to Zhang Xianzhong: "This battle is certain to win. But as for how much we will win, it's really hard to say. After all, Jianlu has legs, and if he can't win, he can't escape." It's easy too."

On this point, Zhang Xianzhong also agrees.Both he and Chen Jisheng have fought against Jianlu many times, and they know that Jianlu cannot be underestimated.Although Jianlu is now defeated nine times out of ten against the Ming army, he still has the background of a strong army.Nothing on the battlefield is [-]% until the last moment.

Zhang Xianzhong thought for a moment, then asked Chen Jisheng: "Do you think the commander-in-chief thinks Denglai's army has captured Phoenix City now?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jisheng made an estimate based on the normal progress of the battle, and then said to Zhang Xianzhong: "I guess we have just captured Phoenix City and are heading towards Shenyang."

Zhang Xianzhong thought about it, and when he was about to agree, he found a boat on the sea speeding towards the pier.

He has good eyesight and was born in the army, so he immediately saw that it was a fast boat for order.

"Marshal, look quickly, there seems to be news that he has returned." Zhang Xianzhong quickly pointed to Chen Jisheng's back, a little surprised and authentic.

When Chen Jisheng heard this, he turned around "Huo" and looked towards the pier.

Sure enough, it was a messenger ship, he saw it clearly, so he immediately left Zhang Xianzhong and walked quickly to the pier.

Zhang Xianzhong also had the Liaodong War in his heart, and immediately followed Chen Jisheng.

The passers-by who heard the conversation between the two of them just now couldn't help but gossip about the news.This news is actually what everyone on the island is concerned about, so the news spread very quickly.Before the messenger ship landed, a crowd of people had gathered around the pier, watching the arrival of the messenger ship with apprehension.

When Chen Jisheng saw the smile on the messenger's face, his heart was completely relieved.There should be no accidents in the war, and they must have won, but I don't know if Phoenix City has been captured as I expected.

"Zhongcheng has an order. There is no need for too many troops to stay on the island. The commander-in-chief, please organize another army to join Zhongcheng in Liaodong." Seeing that Chen Jisheng was waiting for him at the pier, the messenger hurriedly passed the order while handing over the military order. To Chen Jisheng.

Chen Jisheng and Zhang Xianzhong behind him were taken aback when they heard this. Could it be that they lost the battle and lost their troops, so they needed reinforcements?

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, the messenger knew that they had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "The three-way army has captured Shenyang, the main force of Jianlu has been surrounded and wiped out, and all the slave chieftains except Dorgon are the leaders."
