Chapter 89 Arrangement
"Father, you can't blame your husband for this."

Liu Runiang hurriedly said: "Isn't this because you are afraid that your two elders will not be able to bear the stimulation? Besides, Fu'er was rescued by an expert again, so I didn't tell you."

After a pause, he continued: "Fu'er is a blessing in disguise. If you see the true face of the villain, otherwise you will marry him, and you will suffer for a lifetime."

Zuo Kui nodded, "But we are all a family, we can't hide it, the old man can bear it."

He paused, and said again: "Da Lang, what are your plans now?"

Zuo Dayou fell silent.

After a long time, he said slowly: "My son entrusted his relationship and originally wanted to leave the place of right and wrong. But now that the situation is festering, I'm afraid it won't be possible to leave in a short time."

"Brother, do you think the Tartars will attack?"

Zuo Daren said with some apprehension: "If we want to leave, where can we go? If the Tartars break through Nanjing, this Ming Dynasty will be gone!"

"Xuzhou has been a military fortress since ancient times, but Lord Shi abandoned Xuzhou, which made it easy for the Qing army to cross the Huaihe River. Yangzhou has no natural barriers as a barrier, and in addition, there are only more than 4000 defenders in Yangzhou City, and the imperial court has not sent any more troops until now. I mean, this Yangzhou..."

Zuo Dayou sighed deeply, "I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for a few days..."

Zuo Fu lowered his head and whispered, "Father, we still have a chance..."

"what chance?"

"Today, the leader of the non-promising leader will surely escape quietly. When the people panic, we can also take the opportunity to escape."

Zuo Dayou frowned, although he didn't want to believe his daughter's words, but the current emperor is indeed something wrong, it is indeed possible to escape from this situation.But the problem is...

Back then he chanted his slogan so loudly that everyone in Nanjing knew that if he fled without fighting, wouldn't he be scolded to death by the world?
Although it was an expedient measure at the beginning, but people live a lifetime, and they must do what they say, otherwise what is the difference between themselves and villains?
"Fur..."

Thinking of this, Zuo Dayou said: "Later, father will send you three hundred elite soldiers to escort you to Songhu, where you will find a boat to go abroad."

Seeing that Zuo Fu was about to speak, he immediately waved his hand to stop him, "Since the She family moved to this guard, Dad has also won the support of many common people and gentry in Nanjing City. He has money, food, and cloth. Dad can't leave like this, or I'm sorry These people who trust us are also sorry to our ancestors..."

Zuo Fu smiled bitterly.

At the beginning, she only came up with this expedient plan because she wanted to train troops legally, but she didn't expect her father to be trapped by this today.And this era is precisely the age when it is difficult to walk without virtue. If they really run away, they will not be able to survive wherever they go...

And Zuofu's current governance ideas come from later generations, and they pay attention to those who are not valued at the bottom. To put it bluntly, it is the way of Grandpa Taizu: People's War.If these people break their trust, I'm afraid it will not be good!

Time waits for me!God gave her too little time, and these courtiers of Daming were not strong enough, and they didn't have the determination to fight to the death. It would take a lot of effort just to integrate them. Is it really necessary to rebel first?Control these people before talking about others?
She thought about it, and then said: "Father, if Nanjing is captured, the Jiangnan area will be massacred sooner or later. Where can my daughter escape? The sea is not calm. There are many robbers in the ocean. Even if my daughter has three hundred elite soldiers, she can't escape." If you are not familiar with water warfare, how can you defeat those pirates who have been fighting for years? If you stay in Nanjing, you will die, and our family will die together!"

Zuo Dayou twitched his lower lip, and said softly: "If you live one more day, there will always be a solution. You still have your master here."

"Because Master is here, my daughter doesn't need to worry too much. Right now, we need money, but we don't have money. Exquisite porcelain, antiques, and mahogany furniture are also fine."

The others were confused, only Zuo Dayou and Liu Runiang knew what Zuo Fu was talking about.I also wondered in my heart: Why do the gentlemen in the sky accept all kinds of sacrifices?

But it doesn't seem to be difficult.Liu Runiang has a lot of jewelry in her own home. In the current situation, there is no need to open the shop, and bring all the things to her daughter.In fact, my father had already sold a lot of farm shops these days. Her father, who rolled over in the storm, had a good nose, and after the news of Zuo Liangyu abandoning Wuchang, he began to throw away the fields and land.

In troubled times, if there is money, there will be food, and if there is food, there will be people.Mr. Liu's ability to become one of the best jewelers in Nanjing is not in his head.

Apart from these, Liu Runiang felt that she could buy some more.Silver is worthless in the eyes of immortals. Immortals like gold, antiques, and medicinal materials. These things can be exchanged for a lot of food. As long as everyone is united, Nanjing may not be unstoppable.

Zuo Dayou thought for a while, and said: "Then stay here first, and leave when the situation is not right."

While speaking, his expression became serious, and he said: "There are more important people who need your protection, do you understand what father means? If the timing is not right, leave immediately, don't stay here and die with father."

"Father, we will all live well."

Zuo Fu showed determination in his eyes, and said, "We can win."

On the second day, Zuo Fu printed out some contents of the history books, which recorded Shi Kefa's swearing to the death, his generous sacrifice, the Yangzhou massacre and the order to shave his hair in the north.

These are the things she needs to spread out.Under such circumstances, it is useless to count on those officials and lords. The only way to spread fear in the city is to gather the hearts of the people under the panic of the people.

This is the only trick Zuofu can think of, it is not bright but it will be useful.

The time came to April 26th. On the night of this day, a fast horse entered Beijing, the city of Yangzhou was broken, and news of Shi Kefa's capture reached the emperor.

Faced with such a situation, the emperor and the ministers did not respond, but blocked the news. It was not until three days later that Ma Shiying hurriedly summoned the ministers to discuss defense matters.So far, Zuo Dayou has completely despaired of the court. While making people strengthen their defenses, he went to find Qianhu from other guards and his superiors to discuss resistance.

It's just that the ideal is very fulfilling, but the reality is very weird. Except for Liu Xiqian and Liu Qianhu who are willing to fight the Tartars, no one else expressed their position, and even Commander Lu Qian reprimanded Zuo Dayou.For this reason, Zuo Dayou angrily scolded Lu Qian as a coward in person, the two scuffled, and finally a group of soldiers pulled the two of them apart, and the matter was over.

Seeing that there is no hope for the commander here, Zuo Dayou can only go to Wei Guogong.Fortunately, Wei Guogong was loyal to Daming. He not only used his relationship to pave the way for Zuo Dayou, but also sent a lot of food and cloth.

These nobles know better than anyone else that when the Ming Dynasty is over, their glory and wealth are also over.Therefore, when a group of ministers were attacking each other at the court and questioning the fall of Yangzhou, the nobles in the city had already acted, and Sun Xunyu even sent 5000 taels of gold and [-] stone grain to Zuo Fu.

With these nobles taking the lead, some generals who were afraid or wanted to take advantage of the loopholes also approached Zuo Dayou, and soon, they were strengthened by a rumor in the city: the Qing army killed 80 people in the Yangzhou massacre. People, surrender is death!
