Chapter 945: Reshaping Jinling
Gu Shizi comforted his sister and said, "Zizhong, I've frightened you. When I sent you home that day, I fought the invading rebels on the wall. There were too many people, too many died, and I was buried. As a result, when our men returned, the rebels also withdrew. That's when I woke up. ”
Immediately, he pointed in the direction of the north gate and said sharply: "I asked Brother Wu for a knife, and chased it out with our cavalry, chasing the rebels twenty miles away. ”
Gu Zizhong turned to look at Wu Yicheng.
Wu Yicheng immediately turned his face to the side.
It turned out that Wu Yicheng had always known his brother's whereabouts, so why didn't he say it?
Gu Zizhong really wanted to ask for an understanding.
Gu Shizi twisted his sister's face and grinned, "I don't let Brother Wu say it, just to surprise you." ”
Amazing fart!
Gu Zizhong died of grief for his brother.
She really wanted to bite her brother's arm again.
Gu Shizi endured it.
Gu Zizhong was also relieved, after all, after great sorrow, it was great joy.
The joy and sorrow really made her overwhelmed.
She laughed with tears in her eyes.
Gu Shizi took her back to her parents' house and met her father and mother.
This trip was besieged by the rebels, and the situation of the Gu family was not good.
Gu Wang Ye prepared a hanging rope, but before the rebels could stabilize their position in the city, they were beaten away by the Ming army.
After Gu Wang Ye and Gu Mu experienced this life and death, they took death more lightly.
The two elders felt indebted to the Zhu family, and when the Zhu family needed help the most, they chose to be indifferent.
So this time it's a lesson.
Gu Zizhong is also relieved, his parents are fine.
Li Nanyu protected Baoyu, and she did not suffer less.
But at that moment, no one was intimidated, and they were all ready to sacrifice their lives for the country.
Death is also the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Well, the people of the Gu family finally proved themselves with practice.
The people are all impressed by the Gu family.
Originally, everyone thought that only the Zhu family in Jinling was a military general's family, and they depended on them to fight.
Now it seems that it is okay to rely on the Gu family.
Gu Zizhong was even more impressed with her brother, she didn't expect that the literati who had always held a pen and a stick would be able to go into battle to kill the enemy.
All rejoice, all rejoice!
The city was saved, and the people were saved.
This can be regarded as the biggest good news for Gu Zizhong.
Because of this, she was happy for two or three days.
But what happened next made her unhappy.
She heard that Brother Zishan was eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling in Yulin, and he did everything.
Didn't this guy say that he was going to guard the nine sides, how did he start doing such a thing?
It's all men, who doesn't make some mistakes?
But this kind of mistake, in this case, is unforgivable.
A military general eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles, in case the Tatars attack, how can he defend himself?
However, after Gu Zizhong heard the news, he felt that it was more like a joke.
Maybe someone is thinking about it.
When Brother Zishan was in Jinling City, he went to the barracks diligently to train his troops, how could he start to be sloppy when he got to the border?
She was curious, but what woman would want to hear her man casually outside?
After all, this news made her depressed for a few days.
It wasn't until later, a month after the rebels stormed the city.
At that time, there was a messenger who said that the imperial court had passed on a holy decree, asking Jinling City to raise its own troops, horses, money and food, and prepare to defend itself against the land south of the Yangtze River.
To put it bluntly, it was against pirates and pirates.
There are other forces, but they are all too small.
Gu Zizhong understood that the imperial court could still use Jinling.
After Yan Pingnan took a large number of Ming troops from Jinling City, there was no news.
Didn't he say that he went to fight pirates?
What about people?
The pirates were nowhere to be seen, and Yan Pingnan was even more gone.
Co-authoring is in the name of fighting pirates, to deceive people and cheat money?
Yan Pingnan, this guy, Gu Zizhong had a little more hatred for him in his heart.
There are only so many people in the whole of Jiangsu, and people still have to farm, who wants to participate in the barracks when they are idle?
The men were gone, and the women were left at home.
So Gu Zizhong couldn't recruit soldiers.
Unless you go to other provinces to recruit troops.
But the other governors are still unwilling.
Gu Zizhong asked Wu Yicheng to see what his opinion was.
Wu Yicheng's opinion is very simple, first find some people from other places to repair the house, and improve Jinling City.
This guy is quite realistic.
Gu Zizhong was cautious and very cautious, so she guessed wrong.
South of the Yangtze River, everyone recognizes the Zhu family in Jinling.
The people all know that among the emperor's relatives and relatives, there is also a person surnamed Zhu who can recruit good fighters and protect their safety.
This person is Zhu Changxi.
Mr. Zhu's fame has spread to other places.
Everyone recognizes Zhu Changxi.
So Wu Yicheng also said shamelessly that Zhu Changxi was in Jinling City, and everyone who chased stars hurriedly came to sign up for the army.
Then Hula came 20,000 people at once.
Gu Zizhong was shocked, how could there be so many people?
When Zhu Changxi established the Jinling Barracks, he basically drew almost all the men in Jiangsu.
Now in the neighboring provinces, the men have also come over one after another.
Everyone wanted to defect to Zhu Changxi's name and follow Zhu Changxi.
Wu Yicheng first brought everyone to Jinling, and then placed them all in the barracks.
And then there's the brutal training.
Whoever disobeys is scourged.
Wu Yicheng fooled those people, and they came to chase Zhu Changxi, but Zhu Changxi didn't have them, not even a shadow.
Gu Zizhong felt that something would go wrong sooner or later if this continued.
She found Wu Yicheng privately and reminded him: "Most people in the barracks are dissatisfied, they are really uncomfortable coming here to be imprisoned by you. If you continue like this, you're afraid of mutiny. ”
Mutiny?
Don't joke about it, big sister, how is it possible.
Wu Yicheng was a little disdainful of Gu Zizhong's attitude, this little girl still didn't understand after all.
He told Gu Zizhong: "The men are willing to come, this is their own idea." Besides, those who are soldiers should endure hardship. Only by enduring hardships can we win the battle. However, young lady, you are right to remind you, Ichijo knows what to do. ”
Did he get it?
Gu Zizhong didn't know.
She was stunned by Wu Yicheng.
Back in the house, Gu Zizhong was still thinking about what was going on.
Aunt Cui persuaded her: "Young lady, you have already experienced life and death, so don't worry too much about people outside." Let them go, and do whatever they want. ”
Isn't their purpose still to defend Jinling City and the land of the Ming Dynasty?
This is also true.
