"Saved!" Wu Zhenghuo got up and said, "You must be saved!" The families of the soldiers are innocent, they should not die, let alone die under the sword of their own people. ”

Wang Zhiren shook his head and sighed: "You can't save it, and you can't save it." That's not tens or hundreds, but tens of thousands. Once these people are not pursued by the imperial court, the Qing court will get the news in three or five days at most. ”

Wu Zheng was stunned, but he still insisted, "Then you have to find a way to save it!" The roster of sailors should be in your hands, you go back and destroy it. I'll figure out the rest. ”

Wang Zhiren said: "It's easy to destroy the roster, I will naturally do it, but it doesn't play a role, there is still a copy of the roster in the military department." Wu Zheng - listen to the old man, the matter has come to this, I really can't save it, your salvation is equivalent to selling more than 2,000 soldiers. Moreover, according to the law, the families of these soldiers are not all dead, and those outside the direct family are only imprisoned or exiled at most. Unless....... ”

Speaking of this, Wang Zhiren's heart moved, and said: "If you want to say help, it's not that there is no way, it's just ...... Unless....... ”

Wu Zheng hurriedly asked, "Unless what?" ”

Wang Zhiren looked at Wu Zheng and hesitated for a while before replying: "To save them, only His Majesty will grant amnesty." But if you don't tell the truth, how can Your Majesty pardon these rebel families? Tell the truth, how can Your Majesty go and forgive the person you want to save? ”

Wu Zheng pondered for a moment, and then said, "I'm going to the capital." ”

Wang Zhiren was stunned: "Are you crazy? When you go to the capital at this time, let's not talk about how Your Majesty will react, just talk about this matter, are you ready to quarrel with Your Majesty because of this matter and break up? Wu Zheng, the big war will break out at any time! Once you are detained or even an accident happens, it will make everything you and I have discussed before come to naught! ”

Wu Zheng said calmly but firmly: "What should be said between you and me has just been negotiated, even if I am not there, Zhang Guowei and Xiong Rulin will act according to the plan." I have to go to the capital, the soldiers can sacrifice their families for the country, I can't let them shed blood on the battlefield...... And tears. ”

Wang Zhiren was stunned for a long time, and sighed: "The old man understands, the madness of those two boys was learned from you, close to Zhu is red, close to ink is black, and even my nephew Yilin and more than 2,000 sailors...... Hey, you're a demon! A litter of demons...... Anyway, the old man can't convince you, you can go. ”

Wu Zheng arched his hand and said: "Guogong take care!" ”

Wang Zhiren bowed his hand and said: "The old man can't help you with anything else, but in this battle, the old man will definitely live up to your trust!" In addition, you can lead troops to Suzhou, Changzhou, and Zhenjiang, and let you pass! ”

Wu Zheng responded: "The good intentions of the Guogong have been understood. But after all, I didn't go to rebel, but to lead the troops to the ground...... I will take a hundred guards with me. ”

Wang Zhiren thought about it and nodded silently.

……。

The news of the rebels' surrender reached Yingtianfu, causing chaos.

The predecessors of these more than 2,000 people were the remnants of the Jingwei and the sailors under the command of Xingguo Gong, who fought to the death of Yizhen and the enemy.

Especially the remnants of the Jingwei, in the hearts of the people of the capital, they are like the gods of war.

You must know that after the Qing army entered the customs, the Ming army really did not fight such a hearty battle, even if it was Wu Zheng, the prince of Zhenguo, his series of victories were almost all defeated by the crowd, prepared against unprepared, and at the same time, there was no offensive and defensive battle on such a scale, but 20,000 Jingwei faced the Qing army twice as large as themselves in Yizhen, and they resisted for more than a month.

This really uplifted Akito.

It was also the reason why the families of the fallen soldiers were contacted to protest when they did not receive the full pension from the imperial court, and the people of the capital spoke together and responded positively.

Even when the imperial court designated the Jiangbei Navy Division and the remnants of Yizhen as "rebels", the people looked at this army with the same admiration in their hearts, and hundreds of people spontaneously burned incense and prayed for the surviving soldiers in the temple.

The people have a scale in their hearts, and as long as the soldiers are still killing Tartars, they are heroes.

But now, the statue of the god of war in my heart suddenly collapsed.

Angry civilians pleaded their grievances to the government and harshly pursued the families of the rebel soldiers.

Especially the families of the 20,000 soldiers who had died in battle before, they were even more angry, they thought that this army had humiliated the heroic spirit of Yizhen who sacrificed his life for the country. They gathered in front of the Hongwu Gate to clear the rebels' families with the harshest punishment.

The angry crowd gradually spiraled out of control, smashing the houses, furniture, and even setting fire to the families of the "rebels".

Viciously cursing the families of the "Surrender Rebels" who don't even know what happened.

Within half a day, more than a dozen people died in this wave of riots, most of whom were so humiliated that they chose to commit suicide, or hang themselves or throw themselves into wells.

It was not until the government took action to arrest all the families of these "rebels" and imposed an all-night curfew that the second riot in the capital after Baitiao gradually subsided.

God couldn't bear it, and it rained heavily that night, which lasted all night, as if crying for injustice.

The reaction of the Yixing court was almost no different from what Wang Zhiren and Wu Zheng had guessed.

When the news of the surrender of the Jiangbei Navy Division came, the imperial court reacted quickly and ordered the Jingzhao Mansion to cooperate with the forbidden army and arrest the relevant family members of the Navy Division.

The will strictly decrees that no one from the eighty old woman to the baby waiting to be fed, or a thief's family, shall not be let go.

The people of the capital heard that the government was moving quickly early the next morning, and all the families of the anti-thieves were arrested, and they all applauded.

In the restaurants and tea shops, the conversation is all about this topic.

The people even reported the family members of the "traitors" who slipped through the net to the government in exchange for the government's reward.

It's really embarrassing, sad, lamentable!

By the end of the night, the number of people arrested had exceeded 3,000.

This is not because the forbidden army and Jingzhao Mansion are ineffective, but because the families of other soldiers are not all in the capital, but in other state capitals.

Qian Sule was more direct, first declaring that he had severed the father-son relationship with Qian Qiaogong, and then sent someone back to the Qian family ancestral hall in Yin County, Ningbo Prefecture, to remove Qian Qiaogong from the family tree.

Then he wrote a petition and resigned.

Wang Zhiren already knew the situation, and after hearing the news, he followed Qian Sule and drew a gourd, declaring that he would sever his relationship with Wang Yilin, and wrote a letter to ask for guilt and resignation.

The two of them moved too fast, so that the imperial historians of the Imperial Court had no choice but to throw the impeachment note written overnight into the stove.

The strange thing is that Zhu Cihong did not take away the official titles of Qian Sule and Wang Zhiren because of this, but summoned the two into the palace, and Haosheng appeased them.

This made the ministers of the DPRK and China puzzled and amazed.

Of course, there are a few people who have tasted some differences.

But people who can taste different tastes naturally understand the power, and they have chosen to keep their mouths shut, so as not to get into trouble.
