After explaining the military deployment and combat plan, wait until the two left.

Song An, who had been standing behind Wu Zheng, stepped forward and whispered: "This matter must be strange. In my opinion, it is better to send Mimi to another place."

Wu Zheng casually said, "Where?"

"…Songjiang Military Academy." Song An thought for a while and replied.

"Circle ban?"

“It’s OK.”

Wu Zheng snorted, "You want Qian Qiao to hate me to death!"

Song An said anxiously: "I don't want to ban Mimi for the rest of my life. As long as the overall situation is determined after this battle, she can be free."

Wu Zheng waved his hand and said, "No need. It's just a woman. Even if she really comes with a task, my father-in-law is not a good-for-nothing... Let's leave the Qian family's affairs to the Qian family!"

Seeing that Wu Zheng had made up his mind, Song An stopped his words and replied "Yes".

Then Song An started a new sentence and said, "There are all secret messages coming from the young master who is in Shuntian Mansion."

"What news?"

Song An hesitated and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that the Qing court is going to attack Ajige... In addition, they want to use the incident in Nantou in Mimi to launch a joint impeachment against Jirgalang in order to disrupt the Qing court and cooperate with our army's attack on the north."

Wu Zheng frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's not a good way... Although Jirgalang is most likely involved in the Mimi incident, he is just a granddaughter after all. Qian Qiaogong's return did not implicate him before, but instead brought him to the next level. Now, he has decided to think of a solution to this matter... Besides, Chen Mingxia and others have no military power and cannot threaten Jirgalang. They have made a big fuss, but Jirgalang takes the opportunity to deal with it... It's not worth it!"

Song Andao: "Then... how to reply to them?"

"Just say you don't move and wait for a good opportunity."

"yes."

"At home...is it okay?"

The family Wu Zheng mentioned is not a small family, but a everyone.

Song An naturally agreed and replied: "Mr. Mo has already started issuing new silver coins... It should be three days later. I heard that there was no big response from the public. But Mr. Mo persuaded the shareholders of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce... and the progress was not going well, and some major shareholders threatened to ask the young master..."

Song An suddenly stopped talking.

Wu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you want me to... say!"

Song An had no choice but to say explicitly, "They asked the young master to fulfill his promise... It said that the chamber of commerce invested nearly 20 million taels of silver. The new city had been built for a year, but the young master was still not moving... It should have moved the city."

Wu Zheng's eyes shrank, but his face calmed down.

The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is undoubtedly the largest investor in building a new city.

Wu Zheng’s start-up capital for the reorganization of the Northern Expedition Army was the first fund for the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce to invest in the new city.

It was said that it was a land purchase, but everyone understood that most of the huge silver money flowed into the adapted Northern Expedition Army's uniform replacement.

No one is a fool. New cities only build houses but not city walls. Is there a "capital" in this world that does not build city walls?

So from the beginning, the intent of the elites of the Chamber of Commerce was to make money, but they pretended to be stupid and pretended not to know. The reason was very simple. As long as they continued to expand their power, they would make every profit and lose money.

This is true. The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce has been expanding northward due to Wu Zheng, and its strength is changing with each passing day. Especially after taking over and reorganizing Hanming Bank, it has almost won the world in trade and economy. Even the Qing court was quite afraid of it.

Because of the money, there is no position.

No matter who you reach your pocket, you will be ordered by anyone.

In the Qing Dynasty officialdom, anyone with surplus food at home had more or less invested in shares and had a relationship with the Jiangbei Branch of the Chamber of Commerce.

It is precisely because of the expansion of the strength of the Chamber of Commerce that shareholders from Jiangbei who continued to pour in, the Jiangnan Business Gang, which originally had absolutely controlled the shares, were constantly being washed away.

Although the Jiangnan business gang still accounts for the majority in the joint meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, the demands of the Jiangbei business gang cannot be curbed.

In the words of later generations, when doing business, investment will be rewarded.

I really can't find anything about this.

"It's time to fulfill it." Wu Zheng said leisurely, "Gou is not a person who has no faith... You send the message back and let Mr. Mo tell them that after this battle, Gou will move to the city!"

Song An was stunned, "Young Master really wants to move the General's Mansion to Songjiang? Then... although the business is prosperous, there is no inch of the city wall after all, what if..."

"What are you afraid of?" Wu Zheng glanced at Song An, "With the navy here, it is difficult for the Qing army to cross the river to climb to the sky. If it were just a villain, wouldn't you Changlin Wei be there?"

Song An had no choice but to respond, "Yes."

....

Two days later, the battle to recover Haizhou began.

The Fenglei Cavalry divided the troops into two groups and rushed towards the east and west city gates of Haizhou to prevent the defenders from repeating the sneak attack on the day.

The artillery regiment of more than 6,000 monks from Wusongwei and 2,000 people approached the southern gate of Haizhou in front.

On the city wall, Yue Le calmly observed the formation of the Northern Expedition Army through the telescope. He felt a little sad. Both of them were the new musket army, why was the Northern Expedition Army's army more pleasing than the new army under his command?

Oranges grow in the north and south, and oranges grow in the south and citrus.

But Yue Le was not frightened. In his opinion, there was a battle that could be fought. His new army had already deployed artillery at three gates, especially the sixteen heavy guns in the south gate.

With sufficient troops, ammunition and food, if you want to break the city, you can't even break the city in January or February. At this time, the court has already sent reinforcements one after another. Moreover, Yanzhou Dorbo has agreed to send troops to Haizhou, which means that this is a stalemate without an end date.

Yue Le's deployment was in a proper manner. He even ordered the defenders and cavalry in the city not to leave the city. Those who dared to say that they would go out of the city to fight would be killed!

It was Yue Le who killed Jixiha in public and Lan Bai's head. This time, the Manchu generals with eyes on their heads dared not say anything.

Of course, it was also because of the collapse of the elite cavalry led by Tong Dai.

This cavalry, from the expedition of Mobei outside the pass to the attack on the north of the country to the attack and destruction of Goryeo (it should be the qin, to avoid shielding) to the entry of the pass to fight against the Ming army, has been invincible, but now, the entire army is gone outside a small town like Xinba.

This made these Manchu generals who were above the top were confused. Could it be that the firearms really wanted to steal the job they depend on for survival?

But one thing is certain, Yue Le, Prince An and the new General Xuanwei, is indeed more prestige than his predecessor. Haizhou City has become a hard fortress blocked by three gates. In other words, the Fenglei Cavalry divided the troops into two groups to encircle the east and west of Haizhou City, which was actually useless.

If it is really a strong attack, the Battle of Haizhou City will become a flesh-and-blood mill.

Will Wu Zheng really fight this battle of killing the death to the death?

Of course not!

Wu Zheng came here in person, not to fight a bloody battle in Haizhou City, nor would he lose the main force of Wusongwei for a mere Haizhou.

So, how can we achieve the goal of breaking the city in three days?
