第三八五章 祸不单行

易知足一脸的兴奋和欣喜，魏源却是惊疑不定，英夷会主动攻击江宁，而且是早就计划攻击江宁，这实在是令他难以置信，毕竟一直以来英夷舰队都是沿海攻击，从未进入内河，更何况江宁距离海口三百余里，英夷怎会一早就计划攻打江宁？
略微沉吟，他才开口道：“若是加强吴淞炮台兵力，加强狼山、镇江防御，江宁也积极备战，即便英夷早有计划，也会被逼改变计划。龙腾小说网ltxsba.com”
听的这话，易知足仿佛是一盆冷水当头浇下，从头凉到脚，真要如此，借璞鼎查一个胆子，他也不敢来攻打江宁，他缓缓的坐下，沉声道：“部堂大人是铁了心要放弃江宁会战？”
“既无兵，又无银子，这仗怎么打？”魏源说着端起茶杯浅呷了一口，眼光却瞟向一旁。
“徐州不是只被抽调了一万，还有二万兵马，九江还有湖广的绿营。”
“别看徐州、九江距离江宁都不远，但要调动两地的绿营，必须的银子开路。”魏源慢悠悠的道：“数万大军开拔，至少需要上百万两银子，朝廷拿不出银子，两江藩库也一个劲哭穷。”
听到这里，易知足不由的暗松了一口气，合着魏源前来，要银子才是正经差事，可被他吓的不轻，不过，开口就要一百万，这口张的也太大了，元奇的银子也不是大风刮来的，略微沉吟，他才道：“两江富甲天下，人所周知，要募捐一百万两，想来应该不是难事。”
魏源看了他一眼，含笑道：“两江富裕不假，但要大额募捐，须的师出有名，如今不能以守卫江宁的名义募捐，只能以收复浙东失地的名义募捐，不关切身厉害，谁会大额捐输？”
“两淮盐商呢？”
“两淮盐商已是昨日黄花，知足难道不知？”
两淮盐商已成昨日黄花？易知足大觉意外，接任上海道前来上海，他关注的重点是战事，对于盐商扎堆的扬州还真没上心过，当下连忙道：“在下还真不清楚，怎么回事情？”
略微沉吟，魏源才道：“道光十二年，盐政革新，改‘纲商引岸’制为‘票盐法’打破了食盐运销的垄断，两淮盐商陷入困境，大量盐商一夜之间，由富变贫，一蹶不振，如今哪里还能指望盐商捐输。”
说着，他微微摇了摇头，苦笑着道：“以前‘纲商引岸’富了两淮盐商，但朝廷每遇大事，战争、庆典、赈灾、工程等需要花大钱的时候，盐商们都踊跃捐输，多则数百万，少则数十万，乾嘉年间，盐商报效捐输军需一项，就高达白银三千万两之多。改行‘票盐法’，穷了盐商，朝廷也没见富。”
“朝廷没富，官员们却富了。”易知足笑道：“朝廷这笔帐可没算清楚，盐商口袋里的银子，还能通过捐输，逼迫他们吐出来，官员口袋里的银子却是没法子逼迫他们吐出来。”
魏源可不想将话题扯远，林则徐还等着的，当即拉回话头道：“兵不如人，器不如人，又无银子，纵使英军舰队抵达江宁城外，亦不过是徒增伤亡而已，放弃江宁会战，是最为明智之举。”
易知足缓缓摇了摇头，道：“募捐不急，待的英夷舰队进入长江口，攻打吴淞口炮台，逆江而上的时候，再募集也不迟，兵临城下，不怕他们不积极捐输。再有，烂船还有三千钉，两淮盐商富甲天下，岂能没有一点家底？”
魏源眉头一扬，“兵凶战危，岂能儿戏？”
“军国大事，在下岂敢儿戏？”易知足沉声道：“朝廷没银子，地方官府没银子，元奇有银子，别说一百万，就是三百万，五百万，元奇也出得起！”
魏源心里一喜，连忙追问道：“这话当真？”
易知足正色道：“部堂大人是担心元奇筹措不出足够的银子吧？放心，砸锅卖铁，元奇也会支持部堂打完江南这一战！”
魏源点了点头，道：“看来知足对这一战很有信心？”
“关门打狗若是都没有信心，在下也不会蹚这趟浑水了。”
“知足想过没有，这一战若是大败，会是什么后果？”
“在下执掌元奇以来，不敢说没做过亏本的生意，但亏本的大生意还真是从未做过。”易知足缓声道：“这一次，元奇在江宁投下了五千团练，数百万银子，可说是元奇创建以来最大的一笔生意，岂容亏本？”
听的这话，魏源起身拱手道：“那老夫这就回覆部堂大人。”
待的魏源告辞离开，易知足缓步踱了两圈又坐回躺椅，虽说魏源用的是以退为进的法子来试探元奇的底细，但林则徐怕是也真有放弃江宁会战的想法，先前对于绿营和英军战力对比的话有可能将他吓到了，不过，说实话，那些外省来援的绿营兵马究竟能够发挥多大的作用，还真是难说。
江宁这一战，不能放弃！这是唯一能够打击英军气焰的机会，就此放弃，实在是太可惜，至于银子，他倒不是吹牛，三五百万，元奇还真拿的出，而且这笔银子也不可能是白给的，怎么着也得翻倍赚回来，眼下是要先坚定林则徐的信心，若是林则徐有心放弃，随便放出风声，就能令英夷止步。
不过两刻钟，李旺就快步赶来禀报道：“少爷，林部堂带人来了。”
带人来了？带的僧格林沁？这两人方才一直在一起？难不成僧格林沁也有意放弃江宁会战？易知足心里想着，脚下却不慢，快步迎了出去，传过院子，一拐角，就见僧格林沁、林则徐快步而来，他连忙拱手道：“在下见过王爷、部堂大人。”
“私下相见，知足无须多礼。”僧格林沁满脸笑容的摆了摆手。
“二位请。”易知足客气的伸手礼让，三人进的厅堂，叙礼落座，林则徐便径直道：“方才让魏先生来探探知足的口风，元奇真能筹措到三五百万两银子？”
