Zhou Shixiang was right, the Tang Sanshui in Yifeng has now become a life-saving straw for Kaifeng, because within a radius of 100 miles, there were no other troops except the Jiangnan Right Army brought by Tang Sanshui. Most of the elite soldiers in Henan were brought to the west by Oboi. Facing the failure to cross the river, the entire army came to Kaifeng's desperate Zhongzhen Camp. Henan Governor Jia Hanfu decisively sent people to Yifeng, hoping that the Jiangnan Right Army could retreat into Kaifeng and participate in the defense battle of Kaifeng.

Tang Sanshui, who by chance, became the "subordinate" of the Zhongzhen Camp, certainly wanted to retreat to Kaifeng quickly. No matter how strong Yifeng City was built, it was impossible to compare with Kaifeng, the provincial capital. Only with the tall city walls could he be determined. He was not arrogant enough to think that his less than 10,000 troops could make Zhongzhen Camp unable to move forward, and sighed at the city.

However, Tang Sanshui had other plans and did not want to agree to Jia Hanfu so plainly. He could ask him to go to Kaifeng, but Jia Hanfu had to make some statements. He was also fighting wolves at both ends. He not only gained the benefits of the Taiping Army, but also wanted to quarrel from the Qing Dynasty.

??? "The Admiral came thousands of miles to help. This kind of enthusiasm made Kaifeng cry. However, the land of Henan has been decaying for a long time. Most of the military reserves in the city asked Lord Obai to search. In a hurry, Lord Futai would not be able to raise the amount."

The envoy who came to Yifeng on behalf of Henan Governor Jia Hanfu was the prefect of Kaifeng Zhu Dahong. He was a Jinshi in the sixth year of Chongzhen. He was a brother of the same clan as Zhu Dadian, who was then the governor of Shandong and later died in Jinhua, Zhejiang.

The amount of Tang Sanshui was so large that it would cost 300,000 taels of silver. In the past, not to mention the power of Henan Province, even Kaifeng could be collected. However, now, the savings have been dispersed over the years. The treasury in Kaifeng City and the vassal treasury of Henan Governor were empty, so there was no more money.

Zhu Dahong thought in his heart that he said that Kuenbu was a famous general on the battlefield and a famous general in Manchuria who promoted the banner by the late emperor. However, he did not expect that this person was so greedy for money, nor did he think about the critical moment now. If Kaifeng is about to be lost, it is better to have you Kuenbu, where will you Kuenbu make money?

He cursed Kuenbu's mother in his heart, but she was still pitiful and looked embarrassed. There was no way, so who could only rely on the Jiangnan Youjun now?

When he heard that he had no money, Tang Sanshui was dissatisfied and immediately broke out in front of Zhu Dahong. He said dissatisfiedly: "Why, Obai wants money, but I, Kuenbu, don't have money? Are you just looking at people in Henan like this?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Dahong couldn't help but re-examine the admiral of the Jiangnan Right Army in front of him. The other party's tone obviously compared himself with Lord Obai.

"Prince Zhu's best knows that my admiral was born in the Manzhou Zhenghuang Banner, not the ordinary Han army and green camp." Jia Da also looked angry, as if he had suffered some great humiliation.

Song Qian started to curse directly: "Damn it, we will fight to death with the bandits. What's wrong with you?... It's okay not to give money, you will fight with the bandits by yourself! Sir, we can't defend the rituals, so why not go back to Fengyang and protect whoever we love in Kaifeng? Anyway, our Jiangnan Right Army won't go to this mess!"

"Yes, go back to Fengyang!" Jia Dabu joined in, "Since we brothers don't take our lives seriously, why bother to stick them on their butts... 300,000, not even a single child is needed!"

"No, no!"

Zhu Dahong was so anxious that if the Jiangnan Youjun ran away, Lord Futai would not have stripped him alive. However, the amount of the money was too large and he could not make the decision, so he said to Tang Sanshui: "Admiral is at ease, so he should not be irritated. Otherwise, the official will go back and discuss with Lord Futai again?"

"It's not that my official is greedy for money, but it's not easy for the soldiers. Do you think the 300,000 taels of silver are what I want? No, no, I am going to give it to the soldiers!... Master Zhu doesn't know what I know. The men under my command are very hard, how much... "

Tang Sanshui was very considerate of Zhu Dahong and asked him to go back and discuss with Jia Hanfu now. He didn't believe that Jia Hanfu could not afford the 300,000 taels of silver. He didn't have it. There were always gentry in Kaifeng City? If these rich guys don't take out the money, would they even bring the money into the coffin? Kaifeng was really going to be destroyed by the Zhongzhen Camp, and they might not even be able to keep the coffin.

Zhu Dahong naturally followed Tang Sanshui's words, and Tang Sanshui asked Yu Chenglong and Zhu Dahong to go to Kaifeng together.

Although Yu Chenglong is "righteous" and extremely loyal to the Qing Dynasty, he is not a person who is ungrateful and ignorant. He sees the situation of the Jiangnan Right Army, and the Jiangnan Right Army is a guest army, and he is coming from thousands of miles to defend the city in Henan. Is Henan notorious?

There must be a brave man under heavy rewards. Yu Chenglong has read the books of sages for so many years and can be said to have a thorough understanding. When he was the magistrate of Hefei, he used this method to gather the Hefei Green Camp, which was scattered in the hearts, to regain the anti-Qing and rioters in the territory.

On the way, Yu Chenglong thought about how to advise Henan Governor Jia Hanfu to put Kaifeng safety first and not to cherish gold and silver, so as not to cold the hearts of all the soldiers of the Right Army in Jiangnan. However, after hearing Zhu Dahong's return, Jia Hanfu readily agreed to the matter and asked Zhu Dahong to immediately summon the gentry in the city to discuss the "raising funds".

Yu Chenglong was very happy when things went so smoothly, and felt that Governor Jia was worthy of being a minister of the court and knew the priorities of the matter.

In fact, Jia Hanfu was also worried at first. After all, the Jiangnan Right Army was a guest army. Since the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, the military discipline of the world was corrupt, and the worst was the guest army, and the Qing Dynasty was the same. Over the past ten years, many of the massacres in various places were caused by the guest army. The reason was that these guest soldiers were not native people and naturally had no concerns about harming the local area. Therefore, if the Jiangnan Right Army didn't want a penny, they would agree to enter Kaifeng. Jia Hanfu probably wouldn't dare to let go. If the Jiangnan Right Army robbed the city and harmed the gentry and the people, how could he explain to the court, and how did he explain to Oboi, who was leading the army to fight with the rebels of Wu Sangui.

Now the other party spoke, although the number was relatively large, exceeding Jia Hanfu's ability to bear it. But he gritted his teeth and found ways to make the gentry donate their wages. If he gave up the money and saved the people in the city, it would undoubtedly be a good policy and could also get a team of elite soldiers to defend the city. This transaction would be cost-effective no matter how much it was calculated.

As for the Kuenbu who Zhu Dahong claimed to regard himself as a great figure who was equal to Oboi, Jia Hanfu just smiled and didn't take it seriously.

Kuenbu was just a Han Chinese who carried the flag, and now he is just an admiral of Jiangnan. How could he compare with Oboi, who was an authentic Manchu and one of the four major ministers of the court? Even if he made great contributions this time and the court promoted him to the governor of Zhili, in Jia Hanfu's opinion, it was far from comparable to Oboi.

Correspondingly, Jia Hanfu's perception of Kuenbu has decreased a lot. He always feels that this person is a villain who is successful and does not know that the world is strong. This kind of person is worth it now, but in the future, he will definitely be in great trouble. The higher he climbs, the heavier he falls.

One thing Jia Hanfu admired was that Kuhnbu still believed in his words and did what he did.

After obtaining the 300,000 taels of silver collected by Kaifeng, Tang Sanshui immediately led his troops to abandon Yifeng and retreated into Kaifeng. Before leaving, Yu Chenglong suggested burning Yifeng County to rob all the surplus grains of the people in the city, and driving them to the countryside, so that Zhongzhen Camp could not even get an empty city. In this way, they could not use Yifeng as a foothold to attack Kaifeng in the west, and to a certain extent, the pressure on Kaifeng could also be alleviated.

Tang Sanshui did not adopt Yu Chenglong's suggestion on the grounds that the residents in the city were so innocent that they would suffer such a disaster. Yu Chenglong felt ashamed afterwards. If the Admiral really adopted his method, the more than 20,000 people in the Yipeng would really be destroyed.

In April, the weather is not too hot.

On the top of Kaifeng City, Governor Jia Hanfu led a group of officials to wait for half an hour and finally saw the arrival of the right army troops in the Jiangnan in the distance.

"Master Futai, Jiangnan Right Army is here!"

The officials and gentry on the city were very excited. Although they had spent a lot of money on this Jiangnan Right Army, it was worth it to have such an elite soldier to help defend Kaifeng. Over the past few days, the deeds of the Jiangnan Right Army and its admiral Mr. Kuenbu have been circulating in the city. Many officials and gentry who had not known the deeds of the Jiangnan Right Army are now looking at the Jiangnan Right Army with admiration. Just imagine, how could the troops that even the Taiping bandits could not be defeated by the loyal bandits?

Kaifeng is not dangerous, no danger.

Jia Hanfu personally brought General Su Yangyuan and others to the city. In his sight, the Jiangnan Right Army was neatly handsome and the soldiers were all full of energy. When the Jiangnan Right Army, who was the first to drive to the city, was clearly seen by the officials and gentry in the city, they were sighing in an instant.

It turned out that the first person to drive to the city was two thousand Manchu and Mongolian cavalry, tall and big horse, bright helmet and thick armor, majestic and arrogant.

The Right Army in Jiangnan actually had Manchu and Mongolian cavalry, and the officials and gentry in the city were even more confident in defending Kaifeng.

However, these Manchu and Mongolian soldiers were not polite at all to the officials and gentry in the city, but were very arrogant. The leading general did not take off his horse to salute when he saw the Henan Governor Jia Hanfu, but instead rushed into the city, and never looked at them. The impatient Manchu and Mongolian soldiers were blinded by the gentry who were blocking the way because of the crowd. They also shook their hands and whipped them with whips while whipping, while whipping, and shouting in Manchu and Mongolian words that the gentry could not understand. They were really domineering.

However, the more the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers were like this, the more domineering they became, the brighter the smiles on the faces of Kaifeng officials and gentry. Even the ignored governor Jia Hanfu did not become angry because of his rude treatment. Instead, he put on his beard and couldn't help but praise the officials around him.

If you don’t take Han officials and Han people seriously, this is the true Manchu and Mongolian soldiers!

In comparison, because of Oboi's constraints, the Eight Banners Banners, which were treated well by Henan after entering Henan, did not seem to be very similar to the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers. At least, it is very different from the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers in the minds of Henan officials and gentry.

Nearly 10,000 people from the Jiangnan Right Army were separated by cavalry and the baggage was left for a whole hour, and the entire army entered the city. Many officials and gentry in the city were always standing there to watch. The previous Manchu and Mongolian soldiers made them frightened, making them stand up and full of confidence. The Han army green camp behind did not disappoint them either.

After the last flag of the Jiangnan Right Army entered the city, many gentry couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

General Su Yangyuan kept staring at the Jiangnan Right Army, who came from afar and now became the main force of Kaifeng City defending the city, was very moved. He said to Jia Hanfu: "Sir, when you see this soldier, you know what a strong soldier is. How Kuenbu can train these soldiers? It is no matter how you see them, but you are not as good as Lord Obai's Eight Banners forbidden travel..."

“No, no, no."

Jia Hanfu laughed, and the 300,000 taels of silver was not given in vain. Amid the laughter, Kuenbu, the admiral of the Jiangnan Right Army, led a group of generals to come. Unlike the rudeness of his subordinates, Manchu and Mongolian soldiers, Kuenbu was very polite, with a smile on his face, looking quite friendly.

"I've seen Jia Futai!"

Tang Sanshui was the right admiral of Jiangnan, and his official rank was no lower than that of Jia Hanfu's Henan Governor, so it was impossible for him to hold the etiquette of subordinates.

Jia Hanfu stepped forward enthusiastically and pulled Tang Sanshui over, and under the attention of the officials, gentry and people, he held his head high into the city. In order to stabilize the residents of the city, Jia Hanfu specially ordered Zhu Dahong to organize gentry and people to go to the city gate to watch the Jiangnan Youjun enter the city. Now it seems that the effect is very good.

The Jiangnan Right Army was a bit domineering, but the military discipline was strict, and it did not disturb the people in the city like other foreign troops as some people were worried. This made Jia Han even more proud of the Jiangnan Right Army. In his letter to Oboi, he also specially praised the Jiangnan Right Army and called it an elite soldier of war.

This is also the fourth reader I know who once read my book, and now he becomes the author. It doesn’t matter if I get old, as long as there are more young Chinese-based new authors emerging, I will die on the beach.

I hope everyone supports this new author and give him some collections and encouragement. His writing style is still good.
