    Anqing.

    Zhang Xianzhong has more than 100,000 soldiers and has been besieging the city for half a month.

    Can't beat it.

    There were only 3,000 Anqing defenders, but they were united as one, and even the common people came to help, fearing that they would be looted after the city was broken.

    Zhang Xianzhong's cavalry were all scattered, and the sentries extended for a radius of twenty li.  If officers and soldiers come to rescue Anqing, if there are few reinforcements, they will take the initiative to annihilate them, and if there are too many reinforcements, they will run away.

    Even today, Zhang Xianzhong does not want to go to Sichuan.

    Zhang Xianzhong had great ambitions and always wanted to cross the Yangtze River.  With Nanjing as its base, sitting in the best place in the south of the Yangtze River, it can rule at least half of the world!

    Historically, Zhang Xianzhong crashed into Sichuan, purely at the instigation of counselor Wang Zhaoling.  Later, Zhang Xianzhong wanted to leave Sichuan with his entire army, occupy the northwest and seek the world. Wang Zhaoling again provoked dissension, saying that once Zhang Xianzhong left, the generals who stayed in Sichuan would definitely rebel and stand on their own.

    Zhang Xianzhong's mass murder in Sichuan was also caused by Wang Zhaoling.

    Of course, there must not be as many killings as the history books say.

    Although the author of "Shu Bi" has all kinds of black Zhang Xianzhong, he also recorded a sentence pertinently: "(Zhang Xianzhong) has kept great ambitions since he broke Wuchang, and he has not killed much."

    The peasant army advanced step by step, and in a blink of an eye they came to the bank of the moat, and the officers and soldiers on the city began to shoot arrows.

    Suddenly, someone in the city shouted: "The thief ship!"

    On Zhang Xianzhong's side, there were also sentry cavalry galloping over: "The officers, soldiers and sailors are here, the officers, soldiers and sailors are here!"

    The peasant army that was attacking the city was immediately recalled by Ming Jin.

    Both the attacker and the defender, inside and outside the city, were all frightened by the fleet on the river.

    The Jiangxi Navy, which has expanded its army to 4,000, already has hundreds of warships of all sizes.  In addition to practicing, he usually assists the transshipment envoys in transporting official money and food in Jiangxi.

    At this moment, ten large ships of 400 yuan and thirty medium-sized ships of 200 yuan came from upstream.

    Zhang Xianzhong himself rode to the riverside, muttering to himself: "The officers, soldiers and sailors are not so majestic. They seem to be the flag of Jiangxi Zhao's bandits."

    "The Lame General" Bai Wenxuan followed, and asked in confusion, "Is Bandit Zhao going to attack Jiangnan?"

    "I'm afraid we will really fight." Zhang Xianzhong was a little frustrated.

    Such a majestic naval fleet is enough to break the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and Zhang Xianzhong never even thinks about crossing the river to occupy Nanjing.

    "Fuck into his mother!"

    Zhang Xianzhong cursed: "Order to all the ministries to stop attacking Anqing, and immediately go north with the whole army to help that bastard Li Zicheng!"

    Since the Jiangxi thief Zhao is ready to attack Jiangnan, and there are strong navy.  In Anqing, where Zhang Xianzhong still beat Mao, this place is easily besieged by officers and soldiers, so it is better to go north to Henan to help Li Zicheng.

    Of course, it is false to help, but it is true to disturb the arrangement of officers and soldiers.

    Pretend to be going to Henan, mobilize officers and soldiers from all walks of life to chase and intercept, then look for a gap and immediately go west, jump out of the encirclement and return to Huguang (Hubei).

    Seeing Zhang Xianzhong's sudden withdrawal of troops, the defenders in the city were in shock and did not dare to lead their troops to fight out.

    Even after Zhang Xianzhong left for several days, the Anqing garrison did not dare to move, for fear of being killed by the thieves - Zhang Xianzhong often did this!

    After marching for thirty miles, they began to set up camp.

    ? Zhang Xianzhong summoned the generals to discuss matters. Except for Bai Wenxuan and these generals, the descendants of Siyi Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ainengqi were all present.

    "The king of Zhao in Jiangxi may be able to take down Jiangnan this year," Zhang Xianzhong said to the generals, "Let's not attack Jiangbei. Even if we take down both Huai and Huaihe Rivers, we will just stand here and serve as a shield for that Zhao."

    "Father," Sun Kewang took out a copy of "The Collected Works of Great Harmony", "I found this from a landlord's house."

    Zhang Xianzhong could know a few words, but as for his educational level, he was probably about the same as a Mongolian boy who had been in school for half a year.  He glanced at the title of the book and asked, "The book in Shanxi?"

    Sun Kewang said: "Father, this is the Datong of Datong in the world, not the Datong of Shanxi."

    "That Zhao Tianwang's book?" Zhang Xianzhong asked.

    "Yes," said Sun Kewang, "I have consulted my master, and I have figured out the meaning of the first article."

    Zhang Xianzhong said with a smile: "Tell me, what kind of articles the surname Zhao wrote."

    Sun Kewang said: "The Great Harmony of the World means that the world belongs to everyone, not from any family or surname. It is necessary to select people with good moral character and ability to be officials, and to be trustworthy"

    "That's a good statement, the surname Zhao has knowledge in his belly." Zhang Xianzhong nodded in approval.

    Sun Kewang continued: "Everyone should get close to each other, and take other relatives,.  They don't sell directly to Jiangnan merchants because they are afraid that these merchants will hoard and live together.  "

    Zhang Guowei was silent for a while, he didn't believe that thief Zhao was so kind, but it seemed that there was no need to cheat.

    By the way, it must be an invitation to buy people's hearts!

    Zhang Guowei sent more than 20 people to inspect the goods in hanging baskets out of the city.  Half a day later, these people came back and reported: "Except for the sailors, there were no soldiers hiding in the ships. Some ships contained food, and some ships contained porcelain."

    Are you really here to sell food?

    For a while, officials from the six ministries in Nanjing stood on the tower and talked about it.

    Most officials suggested buying grain, because the price of rice in Nanzhili this year is too expensive.  Famine has already occurred in many villages. The price of rice in Nanjing City has risen to 1.5 taels a stone, and if it continues, it must break through 2 taels a stone.

    Gu Gao, Chen Zhenhui, Wu Yingji, Huang Zongxi and other scholars who were restored to the society, as many as dozens of people, came to the city wall together and bowed collectively: "If Jiangxi really wants to sell grain at a low price, please Zhang Bingbu will consider it for the people.  "

    Immediately afterwards, the people in Nanjing city heard that Jiangxi was transporting grain, and they also came to inquire about the situation.

    Zhang Guowei was inexplicably horrified. If he stopped him from buying grain, the people in the city might rebel.

    However, among the six departments in Nanjing, the Minister of War is the boss. Once he buys food from the rebels, he will definitely be convicted of collaborating with the enemy and treason!

    This is putting him on the fire to roast him. Whatever he does is wrong, and he is not human inside and out.

    Even if the food is bought, how will it be distributed?

    The nobles are like sharks, they must come smelling blood.  If the food is not sold to the nobles, these nobles will definitely cause trouble; if the grain is sold to the nobles, it will inevitably lead to public resentment.

    Zhang Guowei is going crazy
