Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 220
He didn't ask himself whether he could hold it, nor did he ask how many soldiers there were in Changzhou. The beginning of the article was straightforward and straight to the point. This Yang Tingjian is really different.

Zuo Fu was silent for a moment, and said: "According to the information I have, the Qing army dispatched 2 people here, and they also brought ten red barbarian cannons."

"In this way, the local officials in Suzhou and other places really turned their backs, right?"

Lu Gong sighed, "Otherwise, how could the [-] troops come here?"

Zuo Fu looked at the first number one scholar in the Qing Dynasty, and listening to what he said, for some reason, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Is it true that times make heroes?Daming defended Nanjing, so Lu Gong will not become the first champion of Qing Dynasty?

However, Lu Gong is different from ordinary people.He only took part in the imperial examination after the Qing Dynasty won the world, so you can't think of him as a traitor, otherwise it will be too divisive.

However, even if he will be a traitor in the future, but he doesn't do it now, then he can't be ignored by his future affairs.After all, talents and learning are real, and people are still on their own territory, so they can still be used!
"It should be so."

Leaving aside the weird thoughts, Zuo Fulue thought for a while and said: "The Xizuo caught by us has a guide and a monk's instructions. If there is no one to help, I am afraid it will not be possible."

"hateful!"

Lin Li patted the armrest, "Da Ming was harmed by such a person!"

Yang Tingjian and Lu Gong did not speak, but remained silent.After a long time, Yang Tingjian said: "I don't know if the food in my city is available?"

Zuo Fu pursed his lips, his smile looked a little weird, which made the two elders feel an inexplicable tremor.

"It's enough."

Zuo Fu said: "Only 600 million catties of grain were confiscated from the homes of those gentry. I sent some of them to Nanjing, and kept the rest for use."

After a pause, he continued: "It's also God's blessing. A few days ago, the prefect and I organized people to transport all these grains to the granary in the city. In addition, there are 200 million catties of grain in the granary, which is enough for us to eat. And I also hoarded tens of millions of catties of grain in front of the small camp, and there are millions of catties in the warehouse of Huimin Supermarket.

Originally, this was used to pay civilian husbands and accept refugees.Right now, since the army is besieging the city, it must be used first to maintain the food supply in the city. "

Now, the two calm Daxian were not calm anymore.

The small city of Changzhou actually hoarded so much food?And where did Zoff's food come from?I have never seen her transport grain to the city!

Thinking about the previous strike, they suddenly knew where her confidence was.Feeling that other people have food hidden in their own hands, so they are not afraid of people going on strike at all.

Thinking about Huimin Supermarket again, the extremely cheap polished rice, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile wryly.

Is this person really a god?Many things have broken their conventional cognition. This person is so mysterious that it seems that there is some kind of secret method, which can conjure a lot of food and strange goods.

"The city of Changzhou is high and has been reinforced by the adults. If there is so much food, I won't be afraid of the Qing army's siege."

Yang Tingjian came back to his senses, stroked his beard and analyzed slowly: "Although the Hongyi cannons are terrifying, it is not easy to destroy Changzhou with only ten cannons. In a few days, the reinforcements from the imperial court will arrive, and Changzhou will be in trouble by then." Solvable."

"good."

Lu Gong nodded, "Actually, how to drive them out of Jiangnan is more urgent right now."

"Then we can only keep Changzhou and think about it."

Zuo Fu sighed, "I'm afraid they won't be able to defeat Changzhou, and they will go to Zhejiang to attack Huzhou and Jiading. If they succeed, we will be alone."

"So we can't let these Tartars escape."

Yang Tingjian said: "I heard that my lord is good at making firearms, can my lord make a usable cannon?"

Zuofu shook his head, "It's not easy to make heavy artillery for siege. Although I have learned some methods, there are still many problems that have not been solved. However, a few years ago, I received a letter from my father, and I heard that the craftsmen in Nanjing had already There are some clues, and it should be put into use in summer. It is said that the range of the new heavy artillery can reach five or six miles. If there is this, the Northern Expedition can be expected."

"I don't care about the future things for the time being."

Lin Lidao: "There are still some old cannons in Changzhou's arsenal. Although they are not as good as the Hongyi cannons, they can still be used after renovation. At this time, it is good to have more knives, let alone cannons."

"Shi Ming is right."

Zuofu nodded, "It was repaired by a craftsman before, and it can be used at that time."

"Before, my lord fought against the Qing army and dispatched the flying thunder cannon. This cannon is so powerful, why is the range so short?"

Lu Gong asked a question that made the science and engineering students dumbfounded, "I have observed it, and found that the bigger the muzzle, the greater the range of power. Let's make the Feilei cannon bigger and longer, isn't it all right?"

Zuo Fu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Lin Li was already shaking his head, "Brother Lu, you don't know, the advantage of this flying thunder cannon is that it is easy to manufacture, we can build hundreds of them in one night, and like you said, But it’s not easy, it takes a lot of time to cast it, and it uses a lot of materials, and we don’t have so many materials to use…”

Lin Li sighed, "There are not many iron mines in the area we control now."

"It's useless to think about it now."

Yang Tingjian said: "Although the artillery is powerful, it can't be used for conventional combat. I see that the soldiers under your lord have sharp weapons and armor that can resist stabbing. With these two things, plus so much food in the city, you can Even without imperial reinforcements, the Qing army can be gradually wiped out."

"What does Mr. Yang mean?"

Zuo Fu asked, "Should we temporarily recruit troops from among the common people?"

"Not bad!"

Yang Tingjian nodded vigorously, "Nowadays, the adults have a small victory, and the people's will. If recruiting soldiers, there must be many talents. After all, the lessons of Yangzhou's past are vivid. If you surrender, you will die."

Zuo Fu got up, bowed and bowed, and said: "Please help me, sir. I am not good at civil affairs, and the affairs in the rear are trivial. If there is no great talent to help me, it will be really difficult. I hope the two gentlemen can help me, Zuo Fu, and save Changzhou. , save the people of Changzhou."

"My lord is serious."

Yang Tingjian stood up and helped Zuo Fu, "Although what your lord has done in the past is a bit unimaginable, but we can all see clearly that your lord is a real person who loves his name like a son, and he has made Wu Jin like this in less than a year since he came here. Well, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the income of the villagers has increased, all thanks to the adults.”

"good."

Lu Gong nodded with his beard, "If your lord is not good at civil affairs, no one in this world would dare to say that he is good at civil affairs. Bingru, are you right?"

Yang Tingjian laughed, "How many counties in this world can repair the roads and walls of the entire city within a year? Not to mention the outer city that is still under construction. ) is the fourth largest city, only a little smaller than Kaifeng and Suzhou, but it is a pity that the Central Plains were destroyed by the Meng Yuan disaster, and Changzhou was also destroyed in the flames of war, so this city is also smaller..."

He sighed and shook his head, then changed the topic, "The tragedy of the past must never happen again. We must work together to drive away the Qing army and keep Changzhou!"

　I got home at 9:40 today, and I was sweating. The shopkeeper made some ice cream for sale today. I was busy until late, and the update was late, everyone forgive me!
