Zhang Guowei said depressedly: "Lord Qian, if it is to rule the world, the old man will definitely be on your side, but now it is a troubled time, and the legitimacy of the court is disputed, why should you be obsessed with this?" In the old man's opinion, at least Wu Zheng did it, and it was done. In the past year, His Royal Highness has supervised the country, sitting on dozens of counties in eastern Zhejiang, millions of people, 60,000 or 70,000 troops, but the words of recovery still stay in the mouth, and now a small thousand households, leading 3,000 soldiers to defend Hangzhou City, the recovery of Jiaxing Mansion, such military feats, even in the first emperor Chongzhen Dynasty, is also the first song. The old man didn't understand why Master Qian couldn't tolerate him one or two. ”

Qian Sule cross-examined: "Isn't Qian intolerant of him?" Qian put the ninth brother and the only son under his command, what else do you want me to do? ”

Zhang Huangyan suddenly interjected: "In all fairness, Lord Qian put the ninth brother and the only son under Wu Zheng, is it just for effect?" ”

Qian Sule's face turned red from being stunned, "You ......." ”

Zhang Guowei saw that the two were about to quarrel again, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, please rest first, now His Royal Highness has the intention to send officials to Hangzhou, and this matter can't be stopped." Let's discuss how to complete this matter smoothly, so as not to form a confrontation between the imperial court and the Hangzhou government. ”

Qian Sule said angrily: "What else, go directly to proclaim, I'm afraid that this kid won't be able to resist the order?" ”

Zhang Huangyan said leisurely: "With Wu Zheng's personality, eating soft or not eating hard, this is really uncertain." ”

"How dare he?" Qian Sule glared.

"Why don't you dare?" Although Zhang Huangyan respects Qian Sule, he is not afraid, "Wu Zheng has an army of 60,000 or 70,000 troops, even if Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren join forces, I am afraid they will not be able to win favor from him." ”

Qian Sule said angrily: "If he really dares to rebel, Qian will order Sudian and the dog to admonish." Now Sudian has more than 20,000 troops in Jiaxing Mansion, which is enough to compete with Wu Zheng. ”

Zhang Guowei was anxious when he heard it, "Don't do it, Lord Qian, you are going to put the safety of the imperial court in danger, let's not say that Ling Lang is not in Jiangbei, just say Sudian, if you really want to confront and fight, I'm afraid the situation will be eroded, and if the Qing army counterattacks, Jiaxing and Hangzhou, which have just been recovered, will be in danger, and you Qian Sule will be the sinner of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhang Huangyan also accused: "Lord Qian, you can't talk nonsense, if you really do this, not only will it not help, but it will force Wu Zheng to a dead end." ”

These words made Qian Sule's heart froze, and he instantly understood what Zhang Huangyan meant, this is really urgent, in case Wu fights to join the enemy, then needless to say, Hangzhou and Jiaxing, Shaoxing Mansion may also be in a battle.

Qian Sule originally just said something casually, but now he was even more jealous of Wu Zheng in his heart.

"Then what do you say, how should we deal with this?"

Zhang Huangyan pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Qian, when Wu Zheng talked twice about supporting Princess Changping as the prisoner of the country, is it time to put it on the agenda now?" ”

Qian Sule frowned and said: "Since crossing the river, His Royal Highness has been at fault in everything he has said and done, I'm afraid ...... It's not right! ”

Zhang Guowei listened to it and sighed, he actually understood very well that from beginning to end, Qian Sule never really took this matter to heart.

In other words, Qian Sule has been perfunctory.

But Zhang Guowei can understand Qian Sule, which has nothing to do with interests, and only cares about four words - the name is right.

In fact, Zhang Guowei was also interested in Wu Zheng's proposal, in his opinion, even if Zhu Yihai was incompetent, he always felt that he would be ...... Hiccup.

Zhang Huang said: "In this case, in my opinion, it is better to send a few fewer people to Hangzhou Mansion first, so that the two sides can have room for maneuver." ”

Zhang Guowei nodded and said, "Huangyan is reasonable, and the old man agrees." ”

Qian Sule looked left and right, and had no choice but to nod.

The next day, a total of 30 to 40 people were selected from the ministry.

In order to prevent Wu Zheng's non-cooperation, Zhu Yihai ordered Qian Sule and Zhang Huangyan to take Dong Zhining and other six mad students to Hangzhou Mansion.

……。

Hangzhou Mansion, the government office and the government secretary yamen side by side on Yongjin Street were occupied by Wu Zheng honestly and unceremoniously.

Everyone knew it, so they naturally wouldn't accuse Wu Zheng of trespassing, but secretly rejoiced in their hearts.

In the eyes of the squires, it was a symbol of the rise of a new power.

And the soldiers are even more happy to see it, under a thousand households, you are at most a deputy thousand households, a hundred households.

Under the commanding envoy, you are at most a fellow intellectual.

But if you are under a commander, you can be a commander.

If you go further...... Well, the soldiers are happy anyway.

This is the biggest reason why generals are particularly fond of having a manager.

But now, the main hall of the chief secretary of the government is silent.

Such solemnity was not to deal with the Shaoxing Mansion, nor to deal with the reaction of the Qing court in the north.

It's because of the information that a scout has just sent.

Instead of retreating north, Duoduo went to Lin'an.

Walking to Lin'an, Wu Zheng can still understand, after all, Jiaxing Mansion has been recovered, and there are more than 20,000 troops in the city.

Duoduo considered that he might be blocked by the Ming army, so it made sense to detour to the west and turn north.

But the problem is that after arriving in Lin'an, Duoduo did not turn north, but turned south.

This is a problem, Lin'an is in the Fuyang and Tonglu areas to the south, what does Duoduo want to do?

Wu Zheng suddenly thought of a question, that is, Fang Guoan.

The Jiangnan area of Fuyang and Tonglu was under the jurisdiction of the Yue Principality, and more than 30,000 Ming troops were stationed along the line.

Duoduo led the Eight Banners Army at this time, wasn't he afraid of being bitten by the Ming army?

Or is there a real connection between the two?

If there is a collusion, the consequences will be too serious.

If Fang Guoan surrenders to the enemy, he will join forces with Duoduo.

Then, after crossing the river, from Puyang to the east directly into Shaoxing Mansion, even if he immediately sent reinforcements from Hangzhou or Wang Zhiren from Dinghai, I am afraid that it will not be too fast.

Because the scout came to report, it was almost a day late on the road.

Thinking of this, Wu Zheng's back was drenched in cold sweat, so he urgently convened this military meeting.

The news that the Tartars might penetrate deep into the hinterland of Shaoxing Mansion from the south really shocked all the generals of Hangzhou Prefecture.

They didn't all take care of Zhu Yihai's small court, especially the generals who surrendered to the army, they had almost no feelings for Zhu Yihai.

But there is one thing they all understand, and that is that their lips are cold and their teeth are cold.

Hangzhou and Jiaxing have just been recovered, and it sounds like there are 60,000 or 70,000 troops, but the foundation is not stable, if the Tartars really occupy Shaoxing Mansion, then Hangzhou and Jiaxing will bear the attack from the north and south of the Qing army.

But Wu Zheng is more worried about what to do with Wu Zhuang's father, sister, and Zhou Simin, and what to do with the base in Pinggang Mountain?

Fortunately, from Fuyang to Shangyu, it must pass through Shaoxing Mansion, that is to say, Shaoxing is not guaranteed, and it will be Shangyu's turn.

This also left time for Wu Zheng to adapt.
