It's useless.

Zhang Jiusi's cries were in vain.

Zhu Wu wouldn't care about a nobody's bluff before he died.

Zhang Jiusi's life was destined to be used to warn those who were secretly spying on the secrets of the Dingyuan Army.

Another burst of blood.

The bloody human head was carried by a spear, standing in the cold winter wind.

"The corpse was exposed for three days, and then the head circulated the garrisons in Dingyuan, Hezhou, Dangtu and other places. I don't want to see this a second time! ”

Zhu Wu's voice was colder than the cold wind of winter, and he had to make his subordinates understand what he could and couldn't do. Their greed for money, lust, and even occasional cruelty can be tolerated. However, they cannot be tolerated, let alone allowed to offend the scales of the heart.

"Report, Chief, Commander Guo's military report!"

As soon as the execution was completed, when the troops returned to the camp, a personal soldier ran to the Dianjiang platform and shouted loudly.

"Bring it!"

Guo Xiaosi Guo Ying's military report, he set off the day before yesterday and went straight to Zhenjiang, the gateway of Jinling, by land and water.

This is the first time in the Dingyuan Army that a general has led the troops alone. After going south to occupy Jinling, Zhu Wu could no longer be like before, and he must go forward in every battle. Instead, they should sit in the rear and take charge of the overall situation.

The soldiers brought the battle report, Zhu Wu just opened it, and a smile involuntarily climbed onto the cold face just now.

"Fifth brother, I took Zhenjiang down!"

Zhu Wuda smiled, "Good little four!" ”

Then look down, "The defenders of Zhenjiang refused to surrender, and the Chinese artillery fired a salvo, and the siege ladder attacked the city." In this battle, the fifth brother's deputy commander of the army, Fu Youde was the first to rush to the head of the city, and after three hours of fierce fighting, Zhenjiang City was broken. The Zhenjiang defenders were killed in the chaos, and the civil officials below the prefect surrendered! ”

It's just a few words, but the hardships and dangers are easy to know.

Even if the siege is blessed with artillery, the close-range battle still has to be advanced with a knife and a shot, step by step. If it weren't for the hard bone of Zhenjiang, Fu Youde would not have been on the front line.

Thinking of this, Zhu Wu chuckled and said to himself, "It's not in vain that I take a fancy to you!" ”

is talking about Fu Youde, after asking him to come over from Mr. Guan, he has repeatedly made miraculous achievements. This time, the first part of the Chinese army that led Zhu Wu cooperated with Guo Ying, but he didn't expect to shine again.

Zhenjiang is followed by Danyang, Jintan, Guangde ~~~~ Yangzhou on the side, and then Changzhou, Changshu, Suzhou.

There is heaven above, there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below, the waist is wrapped around 100,000 guan, and the crane is riding down to Yangzhou.

What is the purpose of fighting a war, fighting a war is actually fighting money and food. The richest place in the world is the mouth, and it can also control the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and further away is the mouth of the sea. The richest place in the world is placed in front of Zhu Wu, waiting for him to slowly eat. Now he is still a little weak, and when he grows stronger, he will swallow it in one gulp.

However, on this road, in this process, there are countless hardships and dangers, life and death choices.

However, now Zhu Wu is fearless.

To rebel is to keep moving forward until all the enemies have fallen.

"We must fight Luzhou!"

Zhu Chongba looked at his brothers, categorical and determined.

Xu Da, Zhou Dexing, Tang He, Geng family father and son and other fellow brothers, Dao Yan, a monk who proclaimed himself as a military advisor, sat around Zhu Chongba.

"Heavy eight, but it's the New Year, let's ~~~~?"

Zhou Dexing looked at Zhu Chongba's face, and said boldly, "Why don't we fight after the New Year?" Anyway, Luzhou is there, and I can't run! ”

"I can fight now, why do you want to push it to the New Year?" Zhu Chongba's expression instantly became fierce, "When we are planting, can the spring ploughing be delayed?" Can the autumn harvest be delayed? ”

"I ~~~ didn't mean that?"

Zhou Dexing smiled and whispered, "The brothers have been fighting for a year, and they are tired~~~~"

Like Zhu Wu, Zhu Chongba has absolute prestige in his own army. The former fellow townsmen have become loyal backbone subordinates, and there is a little more awe and fear in the righteousness of everyone.

"What Brother Zhou means, I understand, the brothers have been licking blood on the tip of the knife all year round, and they want to rest!"

Zhu Chongba's gaze swept over everyone's faces like a knife, and Monk Daoyan took over the conversation, and it was his proposal to fight Luzhou.

"However, Brother Zhou has not thought about it! Can we have a good year? ”

Dao Yan said with a smile, "Haozhou is the place of death, what is this like, everyone counts it in their hearts, is there still a foundation?" Besides, we are right under Zhu Wu's nose, one day he is unhappy, and we will clean it up directly, what should we do brothers? ”

Everyone was silent, since the defeat of Guo Dashuai, Zhu Wu has become a mountain on the head of Haozhou, and it seems that it can be pressed down at any time. When he learned that Zhu Wu had gone south to occupy Jinling, this feeling became more and more heavy.

People are getting better and better, but the Haozhou army is still half-dead.

"Luzhou is the way out."

Dao Yan continued, "People move alive! After laying Luzhou, our future will suddenly be bright, and we can advance and retreat freely. Otherwise, holding it here is equivalent to being trapped, and we don't need Zhu Wu to fight, we will be in chaos! ”

Everyone was silent, and Dao Yan was telling the truth. The back of Haozhou is Liu Futong, and the front is Zhu Wu, where to go? Where is the future? If you don't fight out, there will never be a future, and there will never be a way out.

"Brother Chong and the little monk are right!" Xu Da opened his mouth and said, "We people, rebellion is just to fight for survival. Since there is a way to live in Luzhou, let's fight. ”

said, looked at Zhu Chongba, "Brother, you are the head, you have the final say, what do you say, what do we do?" ”

Tang He also said, "That's it, what are our brothers worse than others?" Zhu Wu can defeat Jinling, we can also defeat Luzhou, and Huaixi is not the only one who is a hero! ”

"Medium!" Zhu Chongba smiled, "Everyone go back and prepare to prepare, tell the brothers, a lot of goods are waiting for us in Luzhou!" ”

Subsequently, everyone took their leave.

After the others left, Zhu Chongba's face became gloomy again.

War weariness!

In his own army, I don't know when there was such a war-weary mood.

Some of his brothers and soldiers seem to be quite satisfied with the days when they don't have enough to eat and don't die of hunger.

People, they don't want to fight! Which one is long!

Zhu Chongba can understand it, but when it comes to rebellion, there is no turning back from the bow, so he can control himself!

Thinking of this, Zhu Chongba sighed.

I really envy Xiao Wu, step by step, step by step, starting from occupying Dingyuan. Xiaowu saw the future, and his brothers were even more stimulated by one victory after another.

With Jinling in hand, who can restrain him again?

If you don't find another way out on your side, sooner or later it will be his dish.

As for what I said before, if you don't beat me, I won't beat you, whoever believes him is a fool!

At this time, Ma Xiuying's voice came from outside the house.

"Chongba, it's time to eat!"

When the words fell, Ma Xiuying came in with two subordinates with food.

"Eat it, the dishes are cold!"

Looking at his busy wife, Zhu Chongba felt a little sorry in his heart.

There was a discussion in the house just now, and my wife must have waited outside for a long time, and waited for everyone to leave before coming in.

"Girl, sit down and eat together!"

Zhu Chongba helped his wife, put the dishes and chopsticks in place, and helped his wife to sit down.

may be because she is pregnant, Ma Xiuying has been sick and unenergetic recently.

"Eat a piece of meat, look at how thin you are!"

Zhu Chongba took a piece of meat and gave it to his wife and put it in a bowl.

"You eat it yourself, don't worry about me~~~gag~~~!"

As soon as she smelled the smell of meat, Ma Xiuying immediately covered her mouth and retched.

Zhu Chongba hurriedly patted her back gently, and finally smoothed out this breath.

"I can't smell meat~~"

Ma Xiuying said with a pale face, "Some mother-in-law said that I reacted so much, I should be a brat!"

"Son!"

Zhu Chongba smiled, threw the piece of meat into his mouth with his hand, and said with a laugh, "Good son!" Hello son! As he spoke, he gently touched Ma Xiuying's belly, "Boy! Look at you tossing your mother, if you dare to be unfilial to your mother in the future, Lao Tzu will beat you to death! ”

"Let's eat!" Ma Xiuying smiled and slapped Zhu Chongba.

The husband and wife sat down again.

Zhu Chongba said while eating, "In the next few days, I have to find a learned gentleman and set our name, this matter can't be delayed!" Looking back, when we burn paper for our parents, we have to talk about it well, so that they can be happy too! ”

said, I couldn't go on, and Ma Xiuying's face on the opposite side was a little bad again.

"Girl, what's wrong? Got something on your mind?"

Glancing at Zhu Chongba, Ma Xiuying wanted to speak and stopped, "Chongba, the day after tomorrow is Dad's Wuqi~~~"

"Let's remember, don't worry, with us, the number of courtesies will not be less!"

At this time, it was customary for women not to enter the cemetery until daylight.

All things can only be done by Zhu Chongba, the uncle.

"You can buy it well~~~" Ma Xiuying hesitated, "I, I dreamed of my father last night!" ”

"Dreaming of him?" Zhu Chongba smiled and picked up the dishes, "What's the dream?" ”

Ma Xiuying brushed down her hair, "I dreamed that our newborn child was lying on the bed, and my father was covering the child with a quilt by the bed, and the quilt was thick!" Dad was smiling at me! ~~”

"What?"

Zhu Chongba's hand shook, and the dish fell on the table.
