Lin Yu lowered his head and quietly looked at the screen in his palm. He saw that the number of gold coins in his warehouse increased rapidly, instantly increasing by more than a thousand, and the numbers continued to grow.

Lin Yu was overjoyed. It seemed that the Ming army and the people who helped defend the city on the city wall were grateful or admired him. In short, as long as he became emotional about him, gold coins would be included in the account.

"War can indeed make some people rich. No wonder the United States makes a fortune through World War I and World War II and becomes the world overlord. Now is a good time to make a fortune, and you must make a fortune!"

Lin Yu ordered to the Ming army on the city wall: "You shouted to the Qing army in unison, and said that the one who bombarded Jiannu was Lin Zhenjiang, Jinan Prefecture!"

The Ming army did not know what Lin Yu intended to do this, but at this moment he had almost regarded him as a god. They shouted in unison as ordered: "Listen Jiannu, listen, the one who bombarded the army is the deputy garrison of Yangzhou, the Ming Dynasty, and Lin Yulin Town, Jinan Prefecture!"

Lin Yu looked down at the data in his palm again, and saw that the number of gold coins in the warehouse increased in an explosion:

1478—2597—3862—5149—7266…

However, in just a few minutes, the number of gold coins in Lin Yu's warehouse had exceeded 10,000, and it was still growing continuously, and it seemed that there was no trend of slowing down.

Lin Yu almost burst into laughter in his heart. It seemed that as long as he found the right method, it was not as difficult as he thought to obtain gold coins.

There were more than 100,000 Qing troops besieged outside the city. Even if Mekava tanks assisted in the battle, it was not time to stop. When we celebrated the wine, Lin Yu decided to take advantage of the victory and drove out of the city to directly enter the Qing army formation.

"Open the city gate for me, I want to go out of the city to annihilate the enemy!"

Lin Yu waved his hand and then got into the cockpit, driving the iron-armored lion to roll forward.

Although the iron-armored beast controlled by Lin Yu showed its might, the Qing army outside the city was surrounded by many people, and Lin Yu left the city alone like a tiger entering a wolf pack.

Even if the tiger is fierce, it is afraid that it will be hard to roar when facing thousands or even hundreds of thousands of wild wolves, which makes Shi Dewei, the general who guards the East City Gate, hesitate.

"My cousin, there are too many Qing troops outside the city, and it is too dangerous to leave the city. You might as well drive the iron-armored car to the city wall to defend the city?" Shi Dewei stood on the wall and shouted with his throat.

Shi Kefa had no son. Seeing that the Qing army was approaching, he accepted Shi Dewei, who was of the same surname, as his adopted son and asked him to pass on his family line for him. Therefore, Shi Dewei called Lin Yu "brother-in-law".

Lin Yu couldn't help but feel speechless when he heard this. Do you think I was driving the Transformers? He actually asked me to drive onto the city wall? If you accidentally overturn the car, you will become a "turtle" who is left on the shore and can't be overturned!

Lin Yu was too lazy to explain to Shi Dewei, so he drove the tank straight to the East City Gate. If the Ming army did not open the city gate, they would directly break it.

Liu Zhaoji, Zhuang Zigu, Chen Yujie and others who were watching the battle on the northern city wall were all surprised to learn that the person driving the iron armored beast was Lin Yu. Although they were full of doubts, they had no time to think about it.

When he observed Lin Yu with a telescope, Liu Zhaoji asked Chen Yujie with a worried look: "It seems that Mr. Lin wants to rush out of the city to fight the Qing army. What does Mr. Chen think?"

Chen Yujie held his beard and said, "I think this iron armored car was cast from iron bars and steel plates. The weight is probably less than tens of thousands of kilograms. It is estimated that the Qing army cannons will not hurt it. Just let Mr. Lin go out of the city and try it, and maybe he can win by surprise."

After hearing Chen Yujie's suggestion, Liu Zhaoji no longer hesitated and immediately waved his hand to order: "Open the city gate and let Mr. Lin drive an armored car to fight the Qing army in a field, and all artillery cannons will support at any time!"

Just as the sound of cannons rumbling on the city walls, the Ming Dynasty officials in the Supervisor's Office were anxious like ants on a hot pan, and they were all sitting and standing still.

Only the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, the Grand Secretary of Jianji Hall, and the Yangzhou governor Shi Kefa sat upright on the chair of the Grand Master like a sculpture, as if the war outside the city had nothing to do with him.

Shi Kefa is 44 years old this year. He is born with a dignified appearance and extraordinary demeanor. After years of immersed in the officialdom, he has been training for good and disgrace. What's more, he has the determination to live and die with Yangzhou, and his face will naturally not show any fear.

"Report... to the supervisor, the Qing army has fired fire at the Yangzhou city wall, and General Liu Zhaoji is leading his troops to defend the death!"

"Report... the Qing army's red-clothed cannons arrived on the battlefield and were slamming our position. The northern city wall was in danger!"

"Report... The Qing army's artillery fire was fierce, Deputy General Ma Yingkui was injured, and Ding Fenwu died of guerrilla warfare!"

The scout's revolving lantern conveyed the battle situation to the governor's office, which made the already depressed atmosphere even more tense. The staff showed severe and even fearful expressions on their faces. Counselor Zhao Aigeng went out half an hour ago on the excuse of going out to the toilet and never came back.

"Zhao Aigeng, who was raised by a bitch, was scared a few days ago. At this moment, he either went out of the city to surrender to the enemy or escaped. I will catch him back now!"

The guard commander He Gang looked resentful and bowed to Shi Kefa, who was sitting in the middle, and was about to lead the guard out to get people.

"Forget it, forgot..."

Shi Kefa reached out to stop He Gang, and said expressionlessly: "The wind knows the strong grass, and the slander knows the loyal ministers! Even ants are greedy for life, let alone people? Duoduo has been waiting for the arrival of the red cannon, so Yangzhou City is afraid that it can't be defended... If anyone wants to leave, he must not stop it!"

"well!"

He Gang stamped his feet and sighed, "Don't worry, Master Shi, I am willing to live and die together with you!"

A man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, handsome appearance, straight face, and black soft feet with a black head, looked contradictory, wanted to speak, "Supervisor..."

Speaking of this person, he has a great background. He is the son of Hou Xun, the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. His name is Hou Fangyu and his name is Chaozong.

During the Chongzhen period, Hou Xun served as the Henan Dao Censor, Right Assistant Minister of War, and Minister of Revenue. He reached the second rank of official position and was considered to be a prominent position. Shi Kefa, Zuo Liangyu and others were all promoted by him.

As a descendant of the Donglin Party, Hou Fangyu was talented and wrote good articles. Therefore, his reputation has risen in recent years. He was known as the "Four Princes of Jiangnan" with Mao Xiang, Chen Zhenhui and Fang Yizhi. The four of them were also the leaders of Fushe.

Fushe, founded in the second year of Chongzhen, was a society. It was originally composed of some literati who loved the country. In addition to studying academic research, it often made various remarks on governing the country and participated widely in politics. It was deeply disliked by those in power.

After more than ten years of development, the Fushe has now spread all over the prefectures of the Ming Dynasty, with branches in Nanjing, Shandong, Zhejiang, Guangdong and other places, with more than 10,000 members, including many people who have served in officials.

After Chongzhen's death, King Fu Zhu Yousong ascended the throne in Nanjing and appointed Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and others. Ruan Dacheng, who was appointed as the Minister of War, had a conflict with Hou Fangyu's concubine, forced Hou Fangyu to come to Yangzhou to seek refuge with Shi Kefa.

Speaking of Hou Fangyu's concubine, she may be more famous in later generations than him, a talented man, that is, Li Xiangjun, one of the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai", and the two are also the protagonists of the opera "Peach Blossom Fan".

Shi Kefa had no expression on his face, but seemed to be able to understand people's hearts. He interrupted Hou Fangyu's words: "Chaozong, you came to me to take refuge, and there is no reason to take risks. Besides, Mr. Hou has kindness to me, so I cannot let him down. You go back and pack your bags immediately and find a way out!"

Hou Fangyu showed an awkward expression and clasped his fists and said, "Supervisor, students are not greedy for life and fear of death..."

"Let's go, Yangzhou City is probably not able to be defended anymore, and it's only a matter of breaking the city!"

Yan Ermei, the aide standing next to him, interrupted Hou Fangyu, "I am in my early forties this year, and now I will not lose money if I die. I will stay and accompany the army to defend Yangzhou."

At this moment, a series of explosions suddenly sounded outside the city. The sound was far beyond the previous cannon sound. The huge sound made everyone present buzz with their eardrums, just like a few thunder sounded among the sound of firecrackers.

Even though Shi Kefa was so cunning, his face changed and he took a breath: "Hiss... the Qing army's artillery fire was so fierce? It seems that the red-clothed cannons taken from our Ming Dynasty have improved. If this situation continues, not only will Yangzhou be protected, but it is only afraid..."

Yan Ermei ordered the guards outside the door with an anxious look on his face: "Go and investigate immediately. Did the fierce cannon sound come from the red cannons of the barbarian army?"

As soon as the guards left the door, scouts who came down from the city wall rushed to report the military situation.

Before the person entered the door, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Report... good news, great good news!"

Everyone in the hall was excited. Shi Kefa even thought reinforcements had come and bowed to Nanjing, saying, "I know that Your Majesty will not abandon Yangzhou, and it must be the reinforcements."
