Yanzhou, the palace of King Lu.

Deng Fanxi, the prefect of Yanzhou, said bitterly: "When the ministers heard that the city was not defended, the nobles in the city cherished their money and loved themselves. Whoever is in the city, my life is also; Those who bribe bribes are also the lives of men. I can't kill him, but hope that he will kill me? The king can scatter the accumulation of reserves to drum up morale, the city can still survive, and the life can still be saved; Otherwise, once the general trend is gone, the jade will be embered, and there will be no regret! ”

"The prefect seems to be very reasonable...... Zhu Yipai thought in his heart, but when he thought that it was Zhu Youzhen who sat on the dragon chair in Beijing, and he was going to be confined in the palace like a wasted person, he couldn't help but feel sorry for those little money: "The prefect doesn't know how bad the deficit of the palace is, those who are slaves are white-eyed wolves, no matter how good I treat them, no one works hard." Oh, it's not that Xiao Wang is unwilling to contribute, he really doesn't have money and food......"

Listening to Zhu Yipai's crying refusal, Deng Fanxi stared at it for a long time and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Before taking office as the prefect of Yanzhou, Deng Fanxi was the head of the Nanjing Military Department. As the only one of the six ministries in Nanjing that still has some authority, Deng Fanxi jumped to the Yanzhou prefect It can be said that he intends to forge ahead and make some achievements.

However, although Deng Fanxi was somewhat mentally prepared for local affairs, he never expected to meet such a creature as the vassal king.

In the face of the Qing army's attack, Deng Fanxi can be said to be exhausted and desperate. He did not panic like an ordinary local official, but immediately calmed down, organizing people to consolidate the city's defenses on the one hand, and stabilizing people's hearts by organizing large households on the other.

Yanzhou is the residence of the vassal king, if you talk about big households, no one in Yanzhou can compare to Zhu Yipai, the king of Lu. This is not only because most of the land in Yanzhou was occupied by King Lu. What's more, as long as the vassal king has no political ambitions, no matter what the court does, he will be tolerant. Even if he abuses the subordinate officials of the royal palace, he will not come forward, let alone encroach on the fields and violate the law and discipline, and no one will even pay attention to it.

And so it goes. If the defense of the city could not be supported by Zhu Yipai, half of the strength of Yanzhou City would be in vain.

But right now, in the face of life-threatening matters, Zhu Yipai looks greedy and unsightly. This immediately made Deng Fanxi's heart cold.

Suddenly, a person rushed out of the side hall of the palace and said with great joy: "Your Highness! Good news, good news! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Linqing sent troops to help the south! ”

"Really?" The first to get excited was Deng Fanxi, only to hear him staring at the visitor with blazing eyes. Asked again and again: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really sent troops?" ”

"Of course it's true!" The person who came was Shi Xufei, the head of the palace: "It's true, this is the news from the hundred households of Yanzhou Jinyiwei!" ”

"That's great, that's great!" After saying that, Deng Fanxi couldn't care about Zhu Yipai, a miser, and strode out and rushed out of the palace.

"It's a loss that I'm still from a second-class background, and I don't know how to be polite!" Seeing that Deng Fanxi ignored himself. Zhu Yipai, the king of Lu, was quite unhappy, but instead thought that Deng Fanxi was so happy because Zhu Cihong sent troops. Zhu Cihong sent troops to the Qing army, and the Qing army would not have stormed Yanzhou, and if he would not storm Yanzhou, Deng Fanxi would not have asked for money from him three or five times......

Just like that, his mind went around and around here, and Zhu Yipai instantly rejoiced again: "So this is also a great thing!" At least, I won't continue to ask Hanako for money! ”

However, when he thought that Zhu Cihong was taken so seriously, Zhu Yipai felt a little surprised in his heart, and a little unhappy smile appeared on his face in an instant.

Side. Xu Fei saw Zhu Yipai's expression, guessed a few points, and said softly: "Maybe the prince can't defeat the Qing army in Linqing." This Qing army crisscrossed Gyeonggi Shandong, which can be described as unbreakable. Zhu Cihong guarded Linqing and was fine, and he went out of the city to fight. This is very dangerous. ”

Zhu Yipai listened and smiled slightly: "Saying this, it's really so." Alas...... But if Zhu Cihong is defeated, won't Deng Fanxi come to me to beg for food again? ”

"Someone! Quickly bury all the gold and silver in the house! Saying that, Zhu Yipai suddenly left Xu Fei energetically, leaving only Xu Fei's thin figure looking at the person in front of him and letting out a long sigh.

……

Linqing City.

Let's get it......

Immediately afterwards, there was another snoring sound of Xili, and when a soft sound sounded on the ground, Liu Sheng slapped his eyes: "What, afraid of death?" ”

A lean man wearing a custom-made close-fitting military shirt stood up suddenly: "Captain......"

"Surprised, it's the warriors of my Tiger Camp?" Liu Sheng sat down with the dinner plate and continued to get up late.

The men in the army eat very fast, and never pay attention to warm and slow swallowing.

Even, almost everyone has a set of ways to finish the meal quickly and well. Because, maybe the official will suddenly organize a training camp.

If you have to leave the half-eaten rice bowl at this time, not only will the firehead army who clean up the canteen have to scold, but even the miserable state of hunger after training is not something that anyone wants to have.

At this moment, the man named Lejin just glanced at the food in Liu Sheng's rice bowl that was exactly the same as his own, and then continued to bury his head and eat quickly.

Originally, the Tiger Camp was enough for food every day, and there was one meat for three meals. This is the treatment only that only the battalion with the banner has, and the ordinary battalion only has one meat in two days.

But now in wartime, not only is every meal white rice and white flour steamed buns, but also every meal has meat, unlimited amounts, and is eaten openly.

The expressions of the more experienced veterans in recent days have been quite subtle, both a little excited and a little confused. The military adviser who originally only buried his head in the room and wrote has also begun to frequently enter the hundreds of households in recent days, and the hundreds of households who saw the military adviser are all bored and explained, and after listening to what the military adviser said, most of them began to suffer from gains and losses.

Because, the military advisor is collecting the letters of the soldiers.

It is likely to be the last letter from home.

Although this move of the Military Affairs Department has won the approval of many veterans, the atmosphere in the army has inevitably fallen. The cafeteria is simple, with benches, tables and chairs laid out, which are extraordinarily standard, scattered horizontally and vertically, and stand up one by one, which is very comfortable to look at. The soldiers sat on it, eating in a hurry, but in less than half an hour, they lined up in turn, handed over the well-eaten rice bowls, and returned to the barracks.

In the past, the cafeteria was the most lively, but it seems that because of the family letter, it is also starting to be a little dull today.

Smack......

"Captain!" Le Jin looked at Liu Sheng and said, "I'...... I'm not afraid of death, and I don't regret being a soldier! It's worth it for what you eat in this bowl! The captain told me to rush in and kill the enemy, to send me to my death! I lead the army and go to war! But...... I don't want to be cannon fodder! (To be continued.) )
