The city of Shaoxing became an undefended city in one day.

It is rare that the upper and lower thoughts are unified and twisted into a rope.

But this is very likely to be the last unification of the small imperial court of Shaoxing Mansion.

They have decided to break the boat and bet all their bets on the towns of Yiting and Fenghui.

But everyone understands that without Wang Zhiren and Wu Zheng coming back for help, it is only a matter of time before Shaoxing Mansion falls.

Their only hope was that, as Wu Zheng said before the war, they would besiege Wei to save Zhao and force peace by war, and the victory of the Northern Expedition would make the Qing court jealous, so as to stop the pace of entering Kou Shaoxingfu.

……。

On the way from Jiangyin to Changzhou.

Qian Sudian quietly pulled his nephew Qian Qiaogong aside.

"Qiao Gong, Lin Anbo is acting like this, I'm afraid it will be contrary to the way of being a minister, right?"

"What does Uncle Nine mean by this?" Qian Qiaogong was young after all, so he didn't react for a while.

Qian Sudian lowered his voice and said: "Lin Anbo didn't send an order to return to Shaoxing Mansion, his intention is not just to conquer Changzhou on the Northern Expedition, right?" ”

"What's so strange about that? The adult wants to recover Yingtianfu, which is also a good thing, and even if Shaoxing Mansion can't hold it, the imperial court can withdraw to Hangzhou Mansion, besides, hasn't the adult already sent Chi Qianhu to lead 10,000 horses back to help? ”

"Silly boy, I didn't say that Lin Anbo wanted to put Shaoxing Mansion to death...... I mean, Lin Amber may have wanted to borrow the Qing army's hand ....... ”

Qian Qiaogong's face turned pale, "Uncle Nine is saying that the Lord wants to borrow the hands of the Qing Army and kill my dynasty?" This...... What's in it with him? ”

"Huh...... As I said, Lin Anbo did not want to kill our court, but to use the hands of the Qing army to force the court to move north. ”

"Uncle Nine's words, I still don't understand."

"Hey...... Do you remember what your dad told you? ”

"Huh?!" Qian Qiaogong was a little stunned, these days, following Wu Zheng's birth and death, in fact, in Qian Qiaogong's heart, he has long regarded Wu Zheng as a mentor and friend, and Wu Zheng agreed to the marriage with his sister, that is a family, so Qian Qiaogong has almost forgotten his father's advice.

In Qian Qiaogong's view, as a loyal minister and a good minister, isn't recovering the rivers and mountains the most important thing at the moment?

And Wu Zheng, isn't that what he is doing?

Qian Sudian said with a straight face: "Although Lin Anbo is only one year older than you, the city is very deep. The decision to continue the Northern Expedition seems to have been forced by the situation, but in my opinion, it has a more far-reaching meaning. You think, Shaoxing Mansion has always been under the rule of King Lu, and he mutinied and supported Princess Changping to supervise the country, but above the court, his power is still difficult to reach the elegant hall. ”

Qian Qiaogong defended: "I'm afraid Uncle Nine is thinking too much, right? Although it is contrary to the way of the ministers, it is nothing more than for the sake of the court and the country. ”

"Silly boy." Qian Sudian had a kind of resentment that iron could not become steel, and scolded lightly: "Your father was originally worried that Lin Amber would take the support of Princess Changping as a step forward, and then steal power. ”

"But haven't you already agreed to marry your sister?"

It was because of this that Lin Amber lost the opportunity of Princess Shang, so he had to find another way. Do you think that if the imperial court moved from Shaoxing Mansion to Hangzhou Mansion, and after Hangzhou Mansion was recovered, it has been under the rule of Lin'an Bo, and it has long been run by him into a monolith. At this time, the imperial court moved north, who else could prevent Lin Anbo from getting involved in the court and making a promise? ”

Qian Qiaogong's face changed again and again, and he really understood at this time.

Uncle Jiu is right, if the imperial court moves north, it will inevitably be sent under the fence, and if Wu Zheng really has different intentions, I am afraid that he will become the Cao Apu of this world.

But Qian Qiaogong repeatedly persuaded himself not to believe it, and turned his head to look at Wu Zheng who was riding a horse in front of him, Qian Qiaogong shook his head vigorously.

"Uncle Nine, I don't believe it, Wu Zheng is definitely not that kind of person."

Qian Sudian sighed lightly: "In troubled times, there are heroes, and it is also the time when heroes emerge. I don't want to guess Amber like this, but many things, it's not whether you and I should guess or not, but it's there, even if you want to avoid it, you can't avoid it. ”

Qian Qiaogong kept shaking his head, "Then in the opinion of Uncle Jiu, how should you and I do it?" ”

Qian Sudian sighed: "What else? Lin Anbo has sent 10,000 reinforcements, and the attack on Changzhou is to recover the lost territory, in the reasonable, in the public and private, there is great righteousness, unless you and I launch a mutiny, forcing Lin Anbo to return to Shaoxing Mansion, otherwise, can not be stopped. ”

When Qian Qiaogong heard this, he shook his head firmly and said, "No." Let's not talk about whether Wu Zheng is really as Uncle Nine guessed, even if this is the case, I will never follow Uncle Nine to make trouble. Uncle Nine, now is the opportunity to recover Changzhou, this good time is fleeting, in my opinion, if you can take Changzhou, then the capture of Yingtianfu is just around the corner, Uncle Nine, as long as you can recover Yingtianfu, even if I die in Yingtianfu City, I am willing. ”

Qian Sudian shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Silly boy, is your ninth uncle so unbearable in your eyes?" I am talking to you now, in fact, I just want to find a reliable person to pour out the depression in my heart, how can I not know the meaning of recovering Changzhou...... Hey, man...... There is a good saying, how blessed are stupid people! ”

Qian Qiaogong was a little stammering, "Nine...... Uncle Jiu's meaning is the same as what I thought...... The same? ”

Qian Sudian said solemnly: "Lin Anbo has a sentence that I agree with, this world is the world of the Han people, and the Ming Dynasty is the Ming of the Han people, not the Ming of a family with one surname." If we can expel the Tartars and recover the rivers and mountains, it is what my generation wants all my life, as for who to serve as the lord of the world, it is not something you and I need to consider, there are people who should consider it. ”

Qian Qiaogong listened, became excited, grabbed Qian Sudian's hand and said: "What Uncle Jiu said is very true, you and I have put pen to paper, in order to expel the Tartars and recover the rivers and mountains, whoever can lead you and me to kill the Tartars, we will serve him." Wu Zheng is a good general, this is indisputable, as long as he is dedicated to the Northern Expedition, I don't want to think about other things. ”

Qian Sudian patted Qian Qiaogong's hand and said: "It's rare that you and my uncle and nephew are of the same heart, but I'm afraid that your father will know about this matter, and he will wait for your family law, so it's difficult to explain." ”

Qian Qiaogong bowed his head embarrassedly and said: "Uncle Jiu doesn't have to worry, from childhood to adulthood, I have been used to Dad's family law, and it is not bad this time." In fact, in my opinion, today's court, the atmosphere is filthy, the people's hearts are scattered, although there are loyal people like Lord Zhang and Dad, but it is still difficult to support alone, unable to completely innovate, if Wu Zhengzhen as Uncle Jiu said, do this, it may not be the blessing of the community. ”

Qian Sudian said: "Yes, but Lin Anbo is young and can't convince the public." This matter is too hasty, but it will affect his reputation, and Princess Changping is also his initiative to support it, if there is a stalemate, then Lin Anbo may not escape the notoriety of bullying and repeating. ”

Qian Qiaogong nodded and said: "This matter is not for you and me, besides, Wu Zheng may not have this thought, it is better to fight the battle in front of him first, and then it is not too late to elaborate." ”

Qian Sudian nodded in agreement.
