Chongzhen Chat Group

This was a good thing. Cao Huachun quickly thanked him, thinking that he should focus on training this boy.

After Hu Guang watched Cao Huachun retreat, he began to worry about money again. The soldiers on top of the city are working hard. Although they have improved their morale through promises, they can't do it without money. They must have enough pensions. Otherwise, they will risk their lives. If they don't have pensions, it will be too much. Sorry for them.

However, rats have been starving to death in the warehouse at the Ministry of Revenue for many years, and even the inner treasury does not have much silver. After the Jianqi invaded the capital, the former Emperor Chongzhen had already taken out the inner money, and now there is not much left. Let the uterus starve?

By the way, I had previously issued an order to burn the grain crops in Tongzhou. After Jianlu retreats, he still has to think of another way.

The money and food collected from various governments in the city can only cover the basic expenses of the refugees and the people who defend the city. Although there may be more after all the money is collected, it will not be that much.

At this time, Hu Guang, just as Han Xu thought, was crazy about poverty, and he was thinking about how to get money?

As people who have traveled through time in later generations, we all know that there is a piece of fat meat that can be eaten, and that is Shanxi merchants, and they feel at ease eating it. But this piece of fat doesn’t just mean you can eat it, you also have to pay attention to reasonableness and compliance.

Liu Xingzuo was writing materials about Shanxi merchants collaborating with the enemy, but if he wanted to silence others, feel at ease with confiscating homes and speak righteously, he still needed more evidence of Shanxi merchants collaborating with the enemy.

When Hu Guang thought of this, he simply stood up and walked back and forth in the hall while continuing to think.

It was true that the Yongchang bank account colluded with Jianlu, but the shopkeeper refused to admit it. The evidence of the change of clothes alone was not enough. It was best to have someone to prove it. If I had known this, I would have just found a reason to keep one person here to testify. Now that they are in the Jianlu Army, the possibility of coming back to testify is actually very low.

If the Yongchang bank account was only opened by Fan Yongdou and his family from Shanxi, then based on the evidence provided by Liu Xingzuo and the fact that the shopkeeper let Ao Bai run away, it wouldn't be a big deal if he copied it. But judging from the currently known information, there is Han Xu, the former chief assistant, standing behind the Yongchang ticket number. Whether there are others, Dongchang is still checking, and it is estimated that there are others.

It would be great if the shopkeeper could plead guilty. Even if there were other officials behind the ticket office, the house could still be ransacked, and the other officials could even be held accountable to make more money. In this way, I guess I can take a breather on money matters.

Hu Guang thought of this and entered the chat group consciously, wanting to know what was going on outside.

Unexpectedly, when he first entered the working group, he heard Gao Yingyuan's anxious voice: "Your Majesty did not respond. Mr. Wen, are you there?"

"I'm here, what's the matter?" Hu Guang asked quickly after hearing this.

When Gao Yingyuan heard Hu Guang's response, he was overjoyed and said quickly: "Your Majesty, my fifth brother and I are going to leave the camp with Obai and go to the rear. But my second brother is left behind and is digging the soil. Maybe we will be killed." Sent to attack the city."

"Digging?" Hu Guang asked with some confusion upon hearing this.

At this time, Liu Xingzuo's icon shook, and he was heard to say: "Your Majesty, Jianlu is going to fill in the moat. This will usually be done at night. Once the moat is filled, the attack on the city will begin."

He had been the commander-in-chief of Jianlu and had a fighting background, so he naturally knew what Jianlu was going to do.

When Hu Guang heard this, he suddenly realized that this was what he was talking about. Just when he was about to speak, Gao Yingyuan said anxiously: "Your Majesty, what will happen if my second brother is sent to attack the city? I am about to leave at any time. Is there anything your Majesty can do to save my second brother?"

In fact, this matter has always been a hidden worry. Gao Yingyuan and the other three were just pawns in the Jianlu army. They were sent to fight the Ming army and had no choice at all.

If it's a field battle, you can still act according to circumstances. But if this group goes to attack the city, they will have no choice. They will fight with open swords and guns. Everyone is fighting to the death at the top of the city. Rolling wood, rocks, arrows and rain will not be able to automatically identify ourselves and the enemy. Maybe they will die under the city. .

Hu Guang frowned when he heard this. Chen Er was in the Jianlu Army, and it was impossible for him to escape even if he wanted to. What should he do?

At this moment, Liu Xingzuo's icon shook again, and he could only be heard saying: "Your Majesty can order Chen Baihu to feign death in a blind corner of the city when he attacks the city, and then hang him on top of the city when the war is over."

As expected of his rich experience behind enemy lines, Liu Xingzuo immediately thought of a way, not bad! Hu Guang was very happy when he heard it, and immediately praised with a hint of excitement: "Yes, as Liu Qing said, Gao Baihu will inform Chen Baihu as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay, I'll do it right away!" Gao Yingyuan's voice also had a hint of excitement, and he responded repeatedly.

Although this strategy is very risky, it at least has hope of survival, and for this environment, this is already the best solution. Gao Yingyuan has no reason to be unhappy.

Hu Guang is not the kind of person who uses it when it can be used by his workers and ignores it if it can't be used. He is naturally happy to be able to solve Chen Er's problem.

Suddenly, something moved in his heart, and he immediately remembered that just now he was regretting that Gao Yingyuan and the others would not be able to come back in a short time. No, if Chen Er hadn't died, wouldn't he have come back and confront the shopkeeper? With the evidence of the criminals in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and the criminals who guarded the city gate, he was not afraid of the shopkeeper denying it!

Hu Guang suddenly became even more excited when he connected this matter. It would be best if it goes so smoothly. Now it depends on whether Chen Er is lucky!

Just as he was thinking, he heard Gao Yingyuan's voice again: "Your Majesty, I'm setting off. When I saw my second brother just now, he said that he saw about ten ladder trucks brought in by infantry, and several boxes flying. Hook, you want me to remind your majesty to guard the city with caution."

When the Mang Gurtai tribe attacked the city before, they used simple ladders, which were easy to carry. And this ladder truck is a behemoth. As the name suggests, the ladder is mounted on the vehicle.

This kind of ladder is usually folded in two sections and fixed with a rope. As long as the rope is untied, the upper part of the ladder will automatically lean towards the city head, and there is an underhook at the top of the ladder, which can be hooked on the city wall to form a tower of about 45 meters. Because the chassis of the ladder is about a large vehicle, it is not easy to tip over and is very convenient for siege.

Hu Guang knew about the ladder truck based on the memory of the former Emperor Chongzhen, so he immediately nodded and said: "Okay, I understand."

It is estimated that there were not many craftsmen in the Jianlu army, otherwise they would have built more ladder trucks to attack the city. Hu Guang thought about it and sent someone to deliver the message to Mangui, reminding Mangui to pay attention to Jianlu's use of the ladder truck and the flying hook.

After finishing, Hu Guang switched to the elementary group and clicked on Liu Wang's message to listen.

"To save all sentient beings, Jianlu sent a judge named Li Yingfang to persuade him to surrender. The county official pretended to agree, and he was hanged into the city and killed. According to the child's father, the county official speculated that Jianlu's next attack on the city would be very powerful. !”
