"Commander-in-Chief, the Qing army has entered the pass!"

Erju hurriedly reported it to Li Xin with a letter and was about to submit it to him.

Li Xin stopped him and said, "Read it to me!"

"ah?"

Erju scratched the back of his head in fear and his eyes dodged.

Li Xin's face sank and said, "Why is it so difficult to ask you to read some books? I ask you, if there is an enemy shooting me on the battlefield, you happen to be by my side, and you will block the bullets for me, will you block it?"

Erju said without thinking: "Block, Commander-in-Chief, there is no need to say that. Our personal guard company is just to protect the safety of Commander-in-Chief. If I don't talk about me, Erju, if someone else changes, he will block without hesitation!"

Li Xin asked: "If you block it, you will die?"

Erju said: "I am not afraid of death. I can die for the commander-in-chief, it's worth dying!"

Li Xin said again: "You are not afraid of death. What's wrong with reading some books and reading some words? Is death scary? Fan Erlang, I will warn you one last time that studying is not for me, but for yourself and your descendants. If you are unwilling to be motivated, you want to be a bodyguard by my side for the rest of your life. Then I don't say it, but I remind you not to be jealous of others' promotion and wealth. You know the right and wrong, and you will know that I will not tell you again in the future!"

"Then... Then I will start reading and literacy from today and will never let down the commander-in-chief's kindness!"

Erju looked like he had made a great decision and took a deep breath.

Li Xin nodded: "Don't let me down, don't set too high the target for the time being. It's not difficult to have ten words a day, right?"

"Not difficult!"

Erju smiled optimistically.

"Okay, you go out!"

Li Xin took the letter and waved his hand.

"Get orders!"

Erju gave a gift and turned away.

Gao Guiying, who was standing aside, burst into laughter: "You can only subdue him."

Li Xin shook his head: "Erju is not stupid. He is smarter than ordinary people. He is just a little lazy. Such a person is worthy of being forced!" Then he opened the Xinbao.

In September, the Qing army arrived in Jizhou and bombarded the walls at Huangya Pass with artillery. The wall was destroyed. The general of Ji County Bai Tengjiao and the general of Malanyu Bai Guangen led the army to stop and kill the third-class light chariot commander Jaisamu of the Qing army, and the general of the Qing army. The commander Wudana, Zuoketo, Ebei, the guardian school Hundachan, and the cavalry commander Erjihe. The remaining soldiers were killed and injured, and the Ming army was outnumbered and the entire army retreated. He allowed the Qing army to march straight in.

The Qing army was divided into two groups, one led by the commander Abatai, and was stranded in Hebei to capture cities and territories. The other was led by the deputy general Turge, and went straight south, probably to Linqing soon.

The court used the chief assistant of the cabinet, Zhou Yanru, as the commander, Liu Zeqing, Tang Tong, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong and other eight generals, and six governors, and were known as 390,000 troops to defend the enemy.

Gao Guiying took the news, read it, handed it to Huimei, and sighed: "How much manpower and material resources are spent on building the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty, but what can this cannon work for?"

Li Xin said: "This is a sign of the advancement of history and no one can resist it. The Qing army is good at bows and horses, but bows and horses are also behind the times. This time, let the Donglu see the power of our muskets and cannons."

Huimei said from the side: "Is it true or false that the court said there were 390,000 soldiers?"

Huiying snatched it and said, "It must be hyped. If Chongzhen had so many soldiers, how could he make the situation like this? Last year, Mr. Li said that the Ming Dynasty would be destroyed within three to five years. I don't believe it. However, with Songjin and Zhuxian Town defeated two consecutive battles, Chen Xinjia died unjustly at the critical moment. The people of the Ming Dynasty completely dispersed, and I'm afraid I won't have to wait for so long!"

Zhang Nai looked proud and said dejectedly: "Zhuang Wang Zhu Xianzhen fought beautifully in the battle, skillfully used people's hearts and cleverly disagreements. The 200,000 official troops collapsed overnight."

As he was talking, Huimei stabbed Zhang Nai hard!

Zhang Nai came to his senses, looked at Li Xin, and smiled awkwardly.

Li Xin waved his hand and smiled, "I'm not that stingy. In fact, Li Chuang and I can't talk about mortal enemies at all. We just don't like his style very much. This is not a big problem. If Li Chuang is defeated in the future, for Lanzhi's sake, he will give him wealth and spend the rest of his life."

"Mr. Li is benevolent and righteous!"

Zhang Nai sighed.

"Commander-in-Chief, there is news about Kaifeng!"

At this time, Huang Hai rushed in.

"Oh? Kaifeng broke through?"

Gao Guiying took the lead, got the letter and expanded to read it.

After so long together, Gao Guiying roughly understood Li Xin's nature and did not care about talking about Li Zicheng in person, so she didn't hide anything. In fact, Li Xin really didn't care. As a modern person, Li Zicheng is Gao Guiying's ex-husband. The relationship between the two is not very good, and there is no possibility of rekindling the old love. Being jealous is because he makes it unhappy for himself.

Zhang Nai, Huimei and Huiying also put their heads over.

Gradually, the faces of the four people changed!

“Oh ~~”

Gao Guiying sighed and said, "The Yellow River embankment was dug up, Kaifeng was flooded, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were buried in fish belly. King Zhou, Gao Mingheng and Chen Yongfu only fled with more than 10,000 entourages and soldiers of the royal palace. King Chuang and Luo Rucai also suffered heavy losses. Most of the supplies, food and grass were washed away by the flood, and they were unable to pursue the official army anymore. Now they are leading the army to retreat to Xiangyang."

Zhang Nai said angrily: "It must be a good thing that the court did. Only the court can be so crazy!"

"Um!"

Huimei nodded violently: "Kaifeng was surrounded for so long and was about to be unable to defend it, so she dug the Yellow River embankment and drowned hundreds of thousands of people. What a sin, the court was simply useless measures!"

"No, I have to put this in the newspaper!"

Huiying is about to leave when she runs out.

"etc!"

Li Xin held her.

"What's wrong?"

Huiying didn't understand.

Li Xin said: "Now it is just heard that it is not yet clear who dug the Yellow River embankment. If you really want to send it, just send a water flood to Kaifeng. Who will do the wrong thing?"

Huiying said anxiously: "Isn't this obviously done by the court?"

Li Xin patiently explained: "No matter whether it was dug in court or not, what is Ming Pao's newspaper handling rules? It is objective and true. Do you have any evidence in your hand that was dug in court? If so, you can take it out!"

"I……"

Smart English is stagnant!

Li Xin said earnestly: "In fact, it's not just you, but I think it was done by the court. After all, Li Zicheng has no need to dig the Yellow River embankment at all. However, when handling news, you cannot have subjective goals, and you cannot report news events based on your personal preferences. We only need to list the events, and right or wrong will be judged by readers. What's more, there is a reportage now, and it is coming in full force, so we cannot let people catch the braid. Do you understand?"

The newspaper Liberation was published a month ago, gathering elite figures from Donglin and Fushe, and even invited Qian Qianyi to be the president. From the moment he appeared, he was qualified to compete with Ming Pao.

However, the flaws of the newspaper are also very obvious. In terms of intelligence sources, they are far less extensive than Ming Pao. After all, Ming Pao is a government-run newspaper. It has unique advantages in resources and appears early. It is a predecessor of the newspaper. It has preconceived concepts in the minds of readers. However, no matter what, the newspaper is closely following Ming Pao, and because of its localization, it is more convenient in local news and distribution, and cannot be careless at all.

Huiying frowned and said, "Young Master Li, why don't Huimei and I go back to Yangzhou? If we don't take charge in person, we will always be uneasy."

Li Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Don't leave for now. The Qing army will come in a few days. It's not safe to leave now. After this battle, it's not too late for you and Huimei to leave again. I'll teach you a way to guarantee the factoring report and never get over it."

"Um?"

Huiying looked at Li Xin expectantly.

Li Xin was mysterious and whispered a few words with his ears.

He saw Huiying's face change, her face full of disbelief, and said angrily: "Mr. Li, how can you be so bad?"

"Huiying?"

Huimei looked over curiously.

Huiying glanced at Li Xin and said strangely: "Let's talk about it when you go back to Yangzhou. You have to make arrangements. By the way, Zhang Nai, are you staying in Linqing with Mr. Li, or returning to Yangzhou?"

Zhang Nai looked at Li Xin in embarrassment.

Li Xin said: "I hope you can stay. Men can't always surround women. Otherwise, when Turg is defeated this time, I will first get Jinlan with Huimeiyi, and then you two will choose a good day to get married and get the most important thing. It's not too late for each to do their own things."

"Mr. Li, thank you!"

Zhang Nai suddenly became excited.

Huimei was in a bit complicated. When she was robbed back, she once had the idea of ​​giving up on herself. Especially after the abortion, she felt inexplicably about Li Xin and was a little bored with Zhang Nai. Fortunately, Li Xin was rational enough to keep a proper distance from him. With Huiying's persuasion and Zhang Nai's tireless pursuit, she began to accept Zhang Nai again.

‘Forget it, forgot!’
