"What's wrong?"

Hangzhou General Fu Bao sat in Huang Bingzhong's head, and when he saw him look at his face, he asked anxiously after reading the letter.

Huang Bingzhong silently handed over the letter to his hand. Fu Bao glanced at him and stood up.

"A bunch of trash! Incompetent! Damn!"

Fu Bao didn't expect the situation to become so fast. A moment ago, he was discussing with Huang Bingzhong how to rescue Shaoxing, so Yuan Qi led his troops across Qiantang and came over.

Fu Bao's scalp was numb even if Yuan Qi had blown up the 300,000 troops, at least 70,000 to 80,000. What is even more worrying is that the rebel army successively captured Yuyao and Shangyu counties, and then captured Shaoxing, which was close to him. The local area not only failed to destroy the rebel army, but in less than a month, Yuan Qi was allowed to conquer the city and plunder the land, and even defeated Hazan.

Now, Yuan Qi's army will arrive in Hangzhou in at most two days, and the situation in Jiangnan is in chaos. As the general of Hangzhou, Fu Bao was anxious.

Fu Bao, who gritted his teeth, wished he could draw his sword to kill Hazhan. If Hazhan had underestimated the enemy and was defeated, how could the situation be so far? Although Hangzhou is the capital of a province, there are actually not many soldiers stationed in Hangzhou. Fu Bao is the general of Hangzhou and has the right to command the Eight Banners of Zhejiang Province. But don’t forget that each prefecture in Zhejiang has Eight Banners stationed, and Hangzhou is only one city.

At present, Fu Bao can only produce more than 2,000 Eight Banners, plus more than 4,000 Green Camps in Hangzhou, the total number is less than 7,000. If he can give him more time, when various reinforcements arrive in Hangzhou, Fu Bao will no longer worry.

Time, but unfortunately, it is time. Before the soldiers arrived, the thief arrived first, and Fu Bao was not sure at all when facing the army of 300,000 Yuan Qi.

"How many days will it take for Zhang Yunyi's soldiers to arrive?" Huang Bingzhong asked when Fu Bao was angry at first and then worried.

"It takes at least ten days and half a month." Zhang Yunyi is the admiral of Jiangnan, holding the elite troops of Jiangnan Green Camp, and is the largest military force in Jiangnan. Unfortunately, Zhang Yunyi's headquarters is not in Hangzhou, but in Jiangning. Although people have been sent to ask for help, it is impossible to reach the distance and the time for the gathering of troops to move south for less than ten days and half a month.

"Mr. Fu, please prepare to defend the city." Huang Bingzhong stood up, and at this time he had recovered from peace. Such a big incident happened in Zhejiang, and he, the governor of Zhejiang, could not refuse the blame. Even if he finally defeated the rebel army and captured and killed Zhu and Yuan, his official position would be over.

The best outcome is to seize the official position and dismissal. Once the city of Hangzhou is broken, even if Huang Bingzhong dies in Hangzhou, his family and his tribesmen will definitely not be able to escape. Now he can only fight back and defend Hangzhou, and wait for reinforcements.

Fu Bao nodded silently, and he knew Huang Bingzhong's plan, and this was also his only choice. After gritting his teeth, Fu Bao and Huang Bingzhong urgently discussed the strategy of defending the city. At the same time, various orders were sent from the General's Mansion and the Governor's Yamen to various places in Hangzhou. The city gates of Hangzhou began to be closed, and no personnel in the city were allowed to go out. All departments stepped up their combat preparations. At the same time, the government offices came forward to draw elite troops in Hangzhou to assist in defending the city.

Fighting Hangzhou is not as good as fighting Shaoxing. Hangzhou is located in the provincial capital, with a strong wall and a large number of people. More importantly, the Qiantang River surrounds the eastern part of Hangzhou, separating Hangzhou from Shaoxing. Originally, Hangzhou City had a chance to prepare, but I never expected that Shaoxing's fall would be so fast. Before Hangzhou could receive news, Shaoxing fell into Yuan Qi.

After taking Shaoxing, Yuan Qi raided and occupied Qiantang Wharf with the assistance of the surrendered garrison Bao Jian. In this way, Qiantang natural danger no longer exists, which is why Huang Bingzhong and Fu Bao finally chose to defend the city. Looking at the rolling river water behind him, he had already stepped on the land of Jiangbei, Yuan Qi looked at the Hangzhou City in front of him, and couldn't help but feel very proud.

Once Hangzhou is taken down, Yuan Qi will become a climate and may have the capital to compete with the Qing Dynasty. If Jiangning is occupied again, half of the country will fall into Yuan Qi's hands and his great cause will be accomplished!

Yuan Qi was still cautious. He did not directly order an attack like he did in the previous few times, but patiently waited for the various rebel troops to set up formations and stationed on the spot after arriving.

The camp ran for dozens of miles outside Hangzhou City, and the lights were connected at night, which made the defenders in Hangzhou City feel frightened. In the middle of the camp, this is Yuan Qi's central army, and it is also where Zhu Yicheng's camp is located.

With the continuous victory and growth of the rebel army, Zhu Yicheng's camp has become different from the past, and is no longer the same as the original grass-roots team.

Sitting in the luxurious camp, Zhu Yicheng was not happy at all. Logically speaking, the victory of the rebel army, as the governor of the country, should be very happy. You should know that this is the largest uprising in recent decades. Now the situation is very good, and the success of the anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty is right in front of you.

Unfortunately, Zhu Yicheng knew about his own affairs, and he was not a real descendant of Zhu Ming. To put it bluntly, he was just a fake. What is anti-Qing and restoring Ming? What is the relationship between this and his bullshit? If Zhu Yicheng could make his own choice, he would rather be the common people of this era, find a place to live a peaceful life, and at most rely on his future vision to be a rich man.

Zhu Yicheng knew very well that the Qing Dynasty was in its prosperity at this time, and it was harder to overthrow the Qing Dynasty in this era than to ascend to heaven. Besides, Zhu Yicheng was just an ordinary person, without any protagonist aura or system, and was not a military genius. Otherwise, when he first arrived, he would not have been arrested as an imperial criminal.

The pain he suffered in prison before and the fear of death on the way to Hangzhou still enveloped him. Later, he turned into a prisoner, and Zhu Yicheng couldn't help but be firmly held by Yuan Qi like a puppet.

"Your Highness, this is the bird's nest that the prince sent to you."

The maid Li Juaner brought in a bowl of bird's nest, and Zhu Yicheng took a look and had no reaction.

"Don't worry, your highness, I've tried it..." Li Juan'er said in a voice that only two of them could hear.

Zhu Yicheng then took it and ate it in a small mouthful of it.

After taking a few bites, Zhu Yicheng put down the bowl, looked at Li Juan'er who was standing in front of him with his eyebrows down: "Juan'er, do you miss home?"

Li Juan shook her head: "Go back to Your Highness, I don't miss home."

"Yes, you were thrown into the fire pit by your family. If you go back, it will be the same fire pit." Zhu Yicheng sighed and replied for her.

"No! Your Highness is not a fire pit. Nubi can follow His Highness and is the blessing that Nubi has cultivated in his previous life." Li Juaner looked up slightly and replied. If Zhu Yicheng had not been specifically protected by these days, Li Juaner would have become someone else's toy like those women who entered the camp. If they were not for the fact that they had done so, they would have lost their lives in vain.

At the beginning, Li Juaner was very cautious about Zhu Yicheng, but since that day she felt that Zhu Yicheng was not what she imagined. As her days with Zhu Yicheng grew longer, the smart Li Juaner also felt Zhu Yicheng's personality and inner changes. Li Juaner already felt the same sympathy for this nobleman of the country.

"But there is nothing good here, it's a pity for you to follow me." Zhu Yicheng smiled bitterly and said, "If you have the chance, I'd better let you go back. Of course, if you don't want to go home, you can give you some money at that time, and go find a place where no one knows, and then find an honest person to make a home..."

"Your Highness! If your Highness insists on driving Nubi away, Nubi will die!" Before he finished speaking, Li Juan'er knelt down, his eyes full of determination, which made Zhu Yicheng feel very moved.

Zhu Yicheng thought that he was just treating her with an ordinary attitude, but he didn't expect that Li Juaner would treat him like this, which also made him feel deeply moved. Unfortunately, he could find an opportunity to let Li Juaner go, but his freedom was unsure. Thinking of this, Zhu Yicheng felt extremely helpless.
