Hu Mengjun escorted twenty cannons and came to Luzhou City smoothly, handed over the cannon to Commander-in-Chief Li Desheng, and asked carefully: "I wonder how long it will take to capture Luzhou City?"

Looking at Hu Mengjun's cautious look, Li Desheng asked, "Why, Master Hu is anxious? Luzhou has become an isolated city and can't hold on for long. When Jiang Zhongyuan is awarded the title of head, you can take office."

Hu Mengjun smiled and said, "If the emperor ascended the throne, the governor will eliminate this great trouble for the emperor. The emperor will be happy. At that time, the governor will be granted the title of marquis and ministers, and the subordinates will benefit from it."

"Haha..." Li Desheng was also very proud. It was better to have a good military achievements than to make a coincidence. Who made him catch up with the great joy of the emperor's ascension to the throne and becoming emperor, and replied excitedly: "Mr. Hu is intent. There are only a few thousand Qing troops in the city. With these twenty Western cannons, even Yanjing was killed. This small Luzhou city will be broken into a matter of time!"

Hu Mengjun agreed: "I'm afraid Jiang Zhongyuan is in a dilemma of life and death now. He has a great hatred with the emperor. Surrender is death. He defends the city. After breaking the city, he will still die. He will die sooner or later."

Jiang Zhongyuan is very confused now. He can't understand why there is not a single reinforcement team that has been agreed upon. Could it be that his dignified Anhui governor will die in this small city of Luzhou?

Wu Enze's lips were chapped and his face was sallow. He said to Jiang Zhongyuan weakly, "Sir, all the animals in the city were eaten up three days ago. Brothers are hungry, how can they guard the city? Please ask the gentry in the city to open the warehouse and release the grain, otherwise the brothers will rob it open."

Jiang Zhongyuan maintained a wooden look, looking at the same wooden soldiers on the city wall, and closed his eyes in pain. He had lived in a wealthy family since he was a child, and was not inferior to the gentry in the city. However, there was a mob. Jiang Zhongyuan raised food and money to recruit villagers to suppress bandits. He never thought that there were such gentry in the Qing Dynasty, who was still guarding the little food until his death.

Liu Changyou knew the interests of this better than Wu Enze, opposed violence, and told his thoughts truthfully: "The Qing Dynasty laws and regulations that disturb the people will die, let alone plunder the gentry. Even if you defend Luzhou City and defeat the rebels, it would be of no benefit to scourge the Tai Lord. Instead, there is a danger of being dismissed from office and beheaded."

Seeing that his elders were silent, Wu Enze punched the battlements of the city wall, and blood stained the city wall with his fingers, retelling the facts: "The three thousand Chu Yongs who arrived in Jiangxi died in Nanchang City, and brought 500 people from Anhui. More than half of them died in battle these days. What are the brothers thinking about? It is to protect these borers! Or to protect the Luzhou City for the Qing Dynasty! Reinforcements wandered in Lu'an, Fengtai, and refused to save them! There are more than 00 guards in the entire city, and there are thousands of short hairs under the city, densely packed..."

Liu Changyou retorted: "The mob of Haozhou, Zhang Lexing, made a rebellion, and Senggelinqin was stationed in Fengtai to prevent them from merging with the short-haired man. Lord Lu'an, has also tried his best. As long as we stick to Luzhou, the imperial army will definitely come and take us."

Jiang Zhongyuan shouted angrily: "Enough! How can you be so noisy! Master Wu, you lead a battalion of officers and soldiers to invite all the gentry in the city to the government office. I'm discussing with them."

When Wu Enze heard that he was leading troops to invite him, he replied excitedly: "Don't worry, sir, I promise to invite all of them to come!"

Two hours later

"What do these Qiu Ba want to do? Just rushed into my mansion and arrested me!"

"It's a shame for a gentlemanship, what kind of morality!"

"Friends, everyone boycotts the Jiang surname! Don't give him a grain of food!"

"Yes, short-term military discipline is strict, we don't have to worry about breaking the city. Jiang Futai will not be good at making peace!"

"What are you afraid of? Jiang's surname wants to bring us to die together and make his dream of spring and autumn. My family is 75, and he is a single man, how can he compete with us!"

...

Jiang Zhongyuan tried his best to make himself laugh and said to the indignant gentry: "Everyone is the pillars of my Qing Dynasty. Now the current situation is critical, and I have no benefit to entertain everyone. I can only serve a cup of Qing Dynasty tea. Please forgive me for any negligence!"

The squire was silent and planned to respond to changes in the same way as they remained unchanged.

Jiang Zhongyuan was not discouraged, and still planned to persuade him: "Short-haired siege, the officers and soldiers fought for several times, and more than half of the casualties were killed and half of the food and grass stored in the city were consumed. Jiang really had no choice but to borrow food from you. As long as Jiang recovered, he would definitely return it as much as possible!"

The squire was still silent, looking in different directions, but no one looked at Jiang Zhongyuan.

Seeing that they were not undone, Wu Enze couldn't bear it anymore, so he pulled out his waist knife and angrily said, "If you don't eat toast, don't blame me for being merciless. Who dares to offer less than 1,000 pounds of food today, don't think about getting out of this door!"

"This is blackmail, what should I do?"

"A thousand dan of grain is small. If the Han army enters the city and settles the score after autumn, wouldn't it be a waste of his life?"

"Everyone is united, I don't believe that Jiang's surname is really brave to take action!"

The squire seemed to reach an agreement and looked at Jiang Zhongyuan with wide eyes, but no one was willing to be this bird.

"Boom"

"Boom"

Jiang Zhongyuan was shocked and shouted: "Where are you shooting, where are you shooting!"

Wu Enze was through the battle formation for a long time, and he was panicked when he heard the loud cannon sound: "What kind of cannon is this? It's even more dynamic than a two thousand kilogram cannon. Could it be a ten thousand kilogram cannon!"

"Everyone, run away, the thief has entered the city!" The gentry rushed up, grabbed the door and fled in a deserted way.

"Sir, no, the thief has blown up the city wall, brothers can't hold on!"

Chu Yong brought by Jiang Zhongyuan is loyal and loyal, and he still does not forget to protect his master during life and death.

Wu Enze ordered them: "Protect the Lord and withdraw, the cannon will hit here immediately."

"boom"

A shell landed at the entrance of the government office, blowing the Qing soldiers who had just left the door upside down and were covered in blood.

Jiang Zhongyuan, who was held by two personal soldiers, held his sword high in his left hand and shouted: "Kill the enemy!"

"Boom boom boom"

A shell landed just next to Wu Enze, and instantly disappeared into the world.

"Mr. Wu is dead! Lord. Wu is killed by bombing..." The Qing soldiers shouted in panic and fled everywhere, throwing big swords, spears, flags, and clothes along the way...

Jiang Zhongyuan was caught in the crowd in a daze, and slowly there were fewer and fewer people around him, until he was the last one left. Looking at the river, a dead body floated from time to time on the surface of the river, he was immediately discouraged and hated these unkind gentry and said:

I am sorry for this poor man to work hard to farm, and I only have enough money to pay for my annual prosperity.

This year is no longer expected to be a year, so I can let the ravines fill the bones.

But when the rich are worried, who can pity the poor for being hungry?

Once a poor person is driven by hunger, how can the rich be at peace with his family?
