Chapter 207 Reversal is just one night
Wang Dengku slapped the table and said, "Yes, we just need to control the Chamber of Commerce and then transfer silver, grain, and goods to the north quietly. The Northern Expedition Army will have to settle down. Wu Zheng has to discuss with us and see our faces!"
"Okay! Wonderful!" Xia Guo applauded at high high, "The Chamber of Commerce is not affiliated with the court or the government... Now Brother Fan has been honored as the president of the Chamber of Commerce. As long as we work together, there is nothing we can't do... but, where is Prince Zheng?"
Fan Yongdou Lu Xu smiled and said, "Prince Zheng, it's not worth worrying... His capital contract is in Fan's hands."
"Okay! That's great!" Prime Minister Xia was also excited, but then calmed down. "It's not that Xia poured cold water on everyone... In Xia's opinion, the change in Hangzhou City is not big, everyone... has no consideration!"
"Why do you say that?" Fan Yongdou asked sincerely.
Xia Guo Prime Minister said: "Xia had dealt with the King of Wu. This is a person who is hard on the outside and on the inside... The key is that he is unreasonable... No, to be precise, he does not act according to common sense... You are chasing Jiangnan to delay Wu's Northern Expedition, which seems to be effective, but in fact... You have also seen that Wu Zheng took a different approach and squeezed out food from the left and right camp soldiers of the imperial court to respond to emergency situations. The Northern Expedition Army is still advancing towards Shuntian Prefecture!"
Fan Yongdou nodded, then shook his head, "But it has been delayed for nearly a month in the Northern Expedition Army... Even Uncle Wang and He sent someone to encourage us..."
Xia Guoxiang shook his hand and said, "Brother Fan, don't you forget it. Didn't we agree to take the same boat together?"
Fan Yongdou was stunned and hurriedly said with a smile: "It was Fan who made a mistake... The survival of the Qing court has nothing to do with us!"
Unexpectedly, Xia Guoxiang shook his head and said, "No, there is still a relationship. We have to ask Prince Zheng for help, right?"
"ah?"
"The Emperor of Qing, the Empress Dowager has already left the pass. Prince Zheng will not last long, and he will inevitably withdraw his troops from the pass... The Qing court will not abandon the army left behind in Shuntian Prefecture, otherwise, he may not be able to defend outside the pass!"
Prime Minister Xia looked confident.
"Then... Brother Xia said he wanted to ask the uncle Wang for help...why?"
"Since you will withdraw from the pass sooner or later, why not hand Yingtian Prefecture over to my king?" Xia Guo Prime Minister finally expressed his purpose, "The tens of thousands of cavalry under my king were waiting for the battle. He could rush ahead of the Northern Expedition Army and take Shuntian Prefecture directly, and then defend the city. At that time, Wu Zheng would not have been able to break Shuntian Prefecture for less than a year or two, and he would not be able to do it... Besides, he would have to pay the lives of countless soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army. No matter how he calculated this account, he would lose... So in the end, he would lower his head and negotiate with my king... In this way, can you satisfy your demands?"
"Mr. Xia is such a master!"
But just as everyone was flattering, soldiers came to report that Zhou Ruzhang was arrested by Zhang Huangyan's commander's troops and raided the Zhou Mansion. Thousands of people from Zhang Huangyan's office were coming here.
Everyone was panicked, and even Prime Minister Xia's face changed.
"How is that possible?" Fan Yongdou's face was pale, "The Censorship Department is only three hundred yamen...?"
"But there are hundreds of thousands of people in the city!" Xia Guo Prime Minister said leisurely, "Xia said before that it is not easy to rebel in Wu Zheng's nest! Brother Fan, have you ever thought of a way out before you plan this matter?"
Fan Yongdou thought for a while and said, "Don't be afraid! There are thousands of soldiers in the city, who will win to death? It's still hard to predict at this time..."
But although the other few people didn't say anything, their faces were full of fear. That's right, businessmen, seeking profit and avoiding harm is the only rule of survival.
Xia Guoxiang looked strange. He was here to contact him, not to fight.
What's more, can these people in front of you still expect to make a fortune?
"Brother Fan, it is not easy to stay here for a long time... As the saying goes, if you keep the green mountains, you won't be afraid of burning firewood... The future will be long!" The Prime Minister of Xia was very thoughtful.
Fan Yongdou is not really fearless, he just is unwilling to accept it.
Seeing that the big thing was settled, I didn't expect it to turn a sudden turn, and it was irreversible, because Zhou Ruzhang fell down and, as their identities, could not support this world at all.
Now, even if the people who are interested in Zhu Yihai know that they have been fooled, there are a large number of Qing soldiers in the city and massacre the people, then in an instant, the "punishment army" will collapse. So, even if there are thousands of Qing soldiers, they are all targeted!
Fan Yongdou said with a gloomy face: "The way out...is not that there is no way, but this... the years of hard work... I'm afraid it will be vain!"
Prime Minister Xia was speechless, and he shook his head, "It's already this time... what else can't be given up... Brother Fan, life is important!"
Fan Yongdou's face flashed and he stomped his feet and said, "Look for the eldest son of the Mo family, Mo Chenbo... The Mo family controls the largest freighter fleet in Jiangnan, and the dock is still under our control at this time... As long as you arrive at the dock, you can leave safely!"
"Then it's not too late, hurry up... and wait until we're safe, and then think about repaying the losses."
"Just as Mr. Xia said... go!"
"Go away!"
....
Things are unpredictable.
With such a huge situation, tens of thousands of people participated in this sudden coup.
Seeing victory in sight, I didn't expect that the situation would rotate overnight.
This turned defeat into victory and made everyone involved feel like they had a dream, whether it was a beautiful dream or a nightmare.
Zhou Ruzhang was captured, Qing soldiers were infiltrated in the city, and the right governor Zhang Guowei was killed... The rumors were soon, and when the sky was getting bright, the people in the city knew it.
When the angry people discovered that the spy suddenly disappeared, they poured their anger on the Qing soldiers in the city that had become the target of public criticism.
Liu Yuan, Xu San and others suddenly discovered that the enemy troops who were fighting with him last night had scattered birds and beasts at dawn.
The three rebels met from north to south like mercury, until they met in Ziyang Mountain.
At this point, the overall situation has been decided.
....
At dawn, all darkness was revealed.
For example, the Qing soldiers in the city could no longer hide their traces, which was so easy to identify.
No roots and no foundation, like floating duckweed, being chased by the people like rats crossing the street. Even though they were still holding swords in their hands, they were still panting by the people who were chasing empty-handed or holding sticks.
The final result is self-evident. I am afraid that the Qing soldiers will be defeated by iron and will turn into ashes in the anger of the people.
By afternoon, the remaining enemies in the city had basically been eliminated, but the people still couldn't relieve their grudges.
It is these so-called "disturbance troops" that plundered and massacred how many innocent people have been?
The people began to flock to Beisi and Zhou Mansion, and some of them rushed towards Zhu Yihai's temporary headquarters.
The reason is very simple, what causes and what results are produced.
