Zhao Liewen went to Li Yunzhong with the information he had collected and said: "Your Highness, these are the records I have browsed in recent years. They are all information about the Qing army's entry into the customs.

Li Yunzhong took it and looked at it carefully:

"Records of the Ancestors" passed through the prefectures and counties where anyone who was able to surrender, open a city and pay money would be rewarded with a title and salary, and would be rich and noble for the rest of his life. If there was resistance and disobedience, as soon as the soldiers arrived, all jade and stone would be burned and massacred.

"Donghua Lu" states that those who do not follow the system of this dynasty and change their clothes and hair will be killed without mercy.

The people and thieves are mixed together, and it is difficult to distinguish between jade and stone. Some slaughter the whole city, or slaughter the men and leave the women behind.

The prefect of Zhenjiang announced: If one person does not shave his head, the whole family will be beheaded; if a whole family does not shave, the whole village will be beheaded.

Memorial of Datong Commander-in-Chief Tong Yangliang: The three cities of Datong, Shuozhou, and Hunyuan have been slaughtered by the king's army, and the people are no longer alive.

Prince Duduo of Henan personally ordered the massacre of Yangzhou and did not seal the sword for ten days. He plundered 103 Han women and presented them to the court.

"Huifu is so thoughtful and so detailed!" Li Yunzhong sighed and asked: "If you can see it, Huifu, then others can too. Why are those scholars so loyal to the court?"

Zhao Liewen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "On the one hand, it has nothing to do with me, and two hundred years have passed. On the other hand, the imperial court has bought people's hearts and banned the publication of such books in the world. Most of these were discovered accidentally when I was cleaning the ancestral temple.

Yes, most scholars in the world have been deceived."

Li Yunzhong said: "We might as well set up a newspaper to publish these materials and our military policies, so that the people can understand us and expose the atrocities committed by the Qing court when they entered the country. I, the big man, will have the moral upper hand."

Zhao Liewen thought that the newspaper was just like the official newspaper issued by the court, and asked: "It's just that most people in the market are illiterate and won't spend money to buy these official newspapers."

This is a problem. If you want the people to be literate, you must establish education. To establish education, you need a large number of scholars. Li Yunzhong asked: "Huifu, what do you think? How can we make these materials circulate among the people on a large scale."

Zhao Liewen thought about it for a while and said: "What the common people like in the market are nothing more than teahouses and operas. It is better for Your Highness to send people to tell stories in teahouses, and then ask people to make up some operas about the massacre by the Qing army. In this way, the people will be afraid of the Qing army."

"This is a good method. You send the printed newspapers to the teahouse storytellers and let them preach repeatedly. If you need the manpower, you can ask Lin Daji. I want to see the results in the shortest time." Li Yunzhong couldn't wait to order. Suzhou

city

Feng Zicai saw the city wall of Suzhou in the distance and shouted to the convoy behind him: "Everyone, please work harder, we will arrive in Suzhou soon. I am true to my word, and everyone who arrives in Suzhou will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"

The porter pulling the cart cheered loudly and pushed the cart harder towards Suzhou.

They are all porters begging for food at the Shanghai pier. They may not be able to earn more than ten taels of silver even if they are busy all year round. I heard that a high-ranking official from the imperial court offered a reward of ten taels of silver if he wanted to transport a batch of goods to Nanjing. Although he thought it was dangerous,

But there were still many people who gritted their teeth and accepted this job. Unexpectedly, as soon as they left Shanghai, the official transferred to Suzhou, saying that there was no need to go to Nanjing anymore.

After hearing the report from the personal guard that General Feng Zicai had returned from Shanghai, He Chun and Zhang Guoliang hurried out of the city to greet him. Especially Zhang Guoliang's face was glowing. Feng Zicai was originally a general under him. In times of crisis, Feng Zicai did not forget his benefactor and came to help him. Doesn't this show that he knew Zhang Guoliang's people?

Make good use of it!

When Feng Zicai saw Jiangnan Admiral He Chun and Commander-in-Chief Zhang Guoliang standing at the gate of the city, he immediately stepped forward on his horse, jumped down neatly, and knelt down and said: "Feng Zicai, who is of low rank, has seen the Admiral and Commander-in-Chief."

He Chun moved him and helped him up, "Nan Qian, thank you for your hard work. Why didn't the assistant come back with you?"

Feng Zicai said: "Master Changgui said that he will stay in Shanghai, continue to deal with foreigners, and raise wages locally."

Zhang Guoliang pointed to the five large cars parked behind him and asked: "What are they covered with, and why are they covered with tarpaulin?"

Feng Zicai became excited: "Sir, I bought 500 foreign guns, 2 artillery pieces, and ten barrels of gunpowder from foreigners in Shanghai. The foreigners said that these arms were going to be sent to Nanjing to be sold to the rebels. I dare not neglect them."

, immediately cut it off at a high price!”

He Chun nodded approvingly, "You did a good job. Send them to the soldiers defending the city quickly. The rebels can come to attack the city at any time. With these foreign guns, we will be more confident in defending Suzhou."

Feng Zicai had already heard in Jiaxing County that the Jiangnan Camp under Nanjing City had been breached and Xiang Rong led the remaining army to retreat to Suzhou, so he diverted halfway.

Zhang Suimou was very high-spirited in the past few days, leading three armies of nearly 40,000 men from Nanjing to Suzhou. Along the way, he defeated Danyang, Jiangyin, Jingjiang, Changzhou, and Wuxi. He had the prestige of the Han king who went to the south of the Yangtze River, and gradually became complacent.

Li Xiucheng saw that the army was walking in confusion and was about to reach Suzhou. He hesitated, but still went to Zhang Suimou and asked: "Captain, do you want to set up camp and repair it, and attack Suzhou again tomorrow?"

Zhang Suimou reprimanded impatiently: "Soldiers need to be quick, so I ordered the army to move forward quickly and rest after reaching Suzhou."

Li Xiucheng worriedly said: "However, the Suzhou city wall is strong and cannot be broken down at once. In case of a sneak attack by the enemy inside the city..."

"Asshole! I am the governor but you are not! Since you are afraid, let the Fifth Army attack the city, and you can lead the army from behind and watch." Zhang Suimou did not look down upon generals like Li Xiucheng and Li Shixian who were promoted too quickly.

He Chun heard that Shorthair was less than twenty miles away from Suzhou, so he quickly called Zhang Guoliang to the North City Wall to have a look.

Seeing the chaotic formation of the short-haired army from a distance, Zhang Guoliang was overjoyed and asked for instructions: "Admiral, please allow me to lead my troops out of the city to weaken the enemy's spirit!"

He Chun did not want to cause trouble, "The short-haired soldiers are in full swing, so it may not be easy to win!"

However, Zhang Guoliang looked excited and said, "Don't worry, sir. The short-haired army is getting carried away and the formation is in disarray. They will eventually be guaranteed by their heads. If they win a small victory, they will return to Suzhou. They will never stop fighting."

"That's right! It's good to boost the morale of the army. Remember not to be too far away from the city gate so that I can send troops to respond." He Chun also felt that there was an advantage to be gained, and it didn't look like a short-haired tactic to lure the enemy.

Chaoyong was recruited by Zhang Guoliang. In March, Ling Shiba captured Changzhou, and it was Chaoyong who regained Changzhou after a bloody battle. Zhang Guoliang returned to the Jiangnan camp without taking them with him, so the organization was still complete, with a total of six battalions of 3,000 people.

Zhang Guoliang carefully selected 800 people from Chao Yong to ambush at the north gate, waiting for the enemy to approach.

The vanguard of the attack on Suzhou was Lin Shaozhang of the Fifth Army. He was also dazzled by a series of victories. He felt that the defenders in Suzhou City had long since fled, and his task was just to open the city gate and let the army enter the city.

Looking at the slowly opening city gate, Huang Bo, the leader of the group who was rushing in front, signaled to the left and right to stop. Looking at the gap getting wider and wider, and the flag "Chao Yong" gradually revealed, Huang Bo secretly said: Not good. Suddenly, the six gods were at a loss.

He was shocked and frightened. When he was in Changzhou, half of his regiment was wiped out by thousands of Chao Yong, and he was also driven out of Changzhou. The impression was really profound. Zhang Guoliang ignored the short hair who was stunned on the spot, and with one move of his sword, he charged forward, eight

Bai Jingzhuang followed closely behind, and soon the two armies were connected.

Huang Bo quickly ordered everyone to form a circle to cover each other, and the casualties gradually decreased. However, Chao Yong was still suppressed and beaten, and he prayed in his heart that the troops behind him would come to support as soon as possible.

Zhang Guoliang looked around for a while and saw a man in yellow shouting back and forth among the short-haired troops. He looked like a high official. He greeted the people around and went to kill him.

Huang Bo felt a murderous aura coming, he lowered his head to avoid it, and a knife passed over his head. Without time to think about it, he swung the knife to slash the incoming man's thigh. Zhang Guoliang blocked it with his knife, and the two knives collided with each other, creating a series of cremations. Only then did the two of them have a chance.

Kong sized up the opponent.
