The girl briefly told her brother what had happened before, "Brother, don't wronged a good person. ”

Only then did the man solemnly say to Wu Zheng: "The adult forgives the sin, the student is reckless." ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "What you said just now is not right, the Ming army is different from the Tartars after all." Although there are also scum in the Ming people, there are many good people after all, aren't you also a Ming people? ”

"Adults are right, students remember." The man replied with a blushing face.

"Alright, let's take your sister back quickly."

After speaking, Wu Zheng walked towards the war horse.

At this time, the Ming officers and soldiers had withdrawn, and the onlookers had gradually dispersed.

But a middle-aged man and a young man stayed, and they walked straight towards Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng could only put down the feet that had been raised.

"Grass man Chen Shoujie brought his dog Chen Qicai to meet Master Wu."

Wu Zheng said with a false hand: "No need to be polite, what is the matter with your father and son looking for this official?" ”

Chen Shoujie bowed down and said: "The father and son of the grass people want to join the army under the command of the adult, and hope that the adult will be successful." ”

Wu Zheng was not surprised, now that the Ming army has recovered Hangzhou City, it is not surprising that the homeless people who have no place to live naturally want to join the army and eat with their mouths.

After looking at Chen Shoujie's father and son, Wu Zheng was quite satisfied, tall and healthy, and his words seemed to have read a book.

So he nodded and said, "What did your father and son do before?" ”

Chen Shoujie replied: "My father, Chen Yujie, was originally the secretary of the Ming Army, and when Yangzhou City fell, he was martyred with the Shi Ge Department. ”

Wu Zheng was stunned, he hadn't heard of Chen Yujie, but he knew that the official position of the secretary of the military department was mainly responsible for receiving the documents of the yamen in other provinces, submitting the documents to the court, registering the number, handling them by the divisions, and inspecting the diligence and laziness of the officials in the provinces and managing the officials of the headquarters.

To put it simply, it is a note-keeper of the Ministry of War, a nine-rank official.

Hearing Chen Shoujie compare his father with Shi Kefa, Wu Zheng felt a little funny in his heart.

However, Wu Zheng can also understand that since he took the initiative to join the army, he must always leave a deep impression on the commander.

It's a little exaggerated, but it's understandable.

But Wu Zheng didn't see Li Ruhai behind him, and his expression was a little weird.

"Chen Shoujie, since you are also loyal and good, this official will accept you. However, this official has a doubt, just now Yue Guogong was also there, why didn't you go to the army under Yue Guogong, and come to the official to join the army? ”

Chen Shoujie replied: "After the martyrdom of my father, the grass people swore that one day they would bombard Yangzhou City and sacrifice the soul of their father. The prestige of the adults in the three battles and three victories in Shaoxing Mansion is sincerely admired by the grass people, so the grass people are willing to serve under the adults. ”

Wu Zheng was stunned when he heard this, this tone is not small.

Also his X's bombardment of Yangzhou City?

"Chen Shoujie, you have to know that most of the people in Yangzhou City are also Ming people, if you really bombard Yangzhou City, won't the jade be burned?"

Chen Shoujie suddenly became sad and indignant, and said in an impassioned tone: "There may still be Ming people in all the prefectures in the world, but the people in Yangzhou City deserve to die." ”

Wu Zheng was even more surprised, "As far as this official knows, the Qing army in Yangzhou for ten days, killed corpses all over the city, according to what you say, the dead people in the city deserve to die?" Ridiculous. ”

Chen Shoujie's eyes were blood-red, "My lord doesn't know, my father followed the Shi Pavilion Department to defend Yangzhou City that day, although it was hard, but after all, he survived. If it weren't for the cannons in Yangzhou City that blew up the city walls, how could the Tartars attack Yangzhou City so easily? Do you know that when the enemy chieftain Duoduo entered Yangzhou City, he was also afraid of the resistance of the Ming people, and ordered that except for the soldiers, the Ming people were not allowed to wear braided hair in order to appease the people. ”

Wu Zheng frowned and said, "That's also the sin of this ** minister, what does it have to do with the people in the city?" ”

Wu Zheng really didn't think that the Ming people would blow up the city wall artillery to welcome the Tartars into the city.

If this is the case, wouldn't the ten days in Yangzhou be a joke?

But Chen Shoujie said angrily: "My lord, the grass people have seen with their own eyes that when the enemy chief Duoduo entered the city, tens of thousands of people in the city lined up on both sides, causing a strange scene of thousands of empty alleys, and even more than a dozen people were squeezed to death because of watching Duoduo. My lord, it is a strange story through the ages. ”

Wu Zheng was really stunned, he couldn't believe that the hearts of the people in the world would be like this.

But what he saw in Hangzhou today, he told himself that this might be true.

The Ming army plundered and bullied the people, and the people were more afraid of the Ming army than the Tartars.

Coupled with the consciousness of surrender from top to bottom, Da Ming Yan can not die.

At this time, Li Ruhai behind him suddenly put his hand on Wu Zheng's waist, and Li Ruhai finally remembered who Chen Yujie was.

He was excited for a while, so he took care of the etiquette and directly stabbed Wu Zheng in the back.

Wu Zheng was stunned and looked back at Li Ruhai.

Li Ruhai stepped forward and leaned into Wu Zheng's ear and said: "My lord, this Chen Shoujie's father, Chen Yujie, is the secretary of the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples, but he still has several identities, one is Dr. Qin Tianjian, and the other is to say it, the adults will definitely like it." ”

Wu Zheng saw him selling Guanzi, hated him for stabbing his waist with his hand, kicked him with his leg and said, "Say it quickly." ”

Li Ruhai said hehehe: "All the artillery under the command of the Shi Pavilion Department were trained by Chen Yujie. ”

When Wu Zheng heard this, his eyes were about to fall, isn't this a hungry cake and a thirsty water?

When did your luck get so good?

"Really?"

"Seriously!"

Chen Shoujie didn't know what Wu Zheng and the others were muttering, "If Lord Wu doesn't give up, he is willing to take in the grass people's father and son, and the grass people will have a heavy gift to give each other." ”

Wu Zheng hurriedly shook his hand and said: "No, no, the official is thirsty for talent, so naturally he has to use the two, and the official doesn't care about a little money." Keep it for yourself. ”

Chen Shoujie's father and son looked at each other.

"My lord misunderstood, the grass people are not talking about gold and silver."

"Uh...... What is that? ”

"Please take a step to speak."

Wu Zheng followed Chen Shoujie to the side in confusion.

"My lord, my father once followed the Shi Pavilion Department to defend the city, and the grass people also followed my father to serve under the Shi Pavilion Department, after the fall of Yangzhou City, most of the artillery of the Ming army fell into the hands of the Tartars."

As soon as Wu Zheng's heart moved, he was poured cold water by Chen Shoujie, if it weren't for his father Chen Yujie's sake, he would have kicked it directly, which was breathless.

"Chen Shoujie, since the artillery has fallen into the hands of the Tartars, what do you still say it does?"

Chen Shoujie lowered his voice and said: "My lord doesn't know, at that time, the artillery that was transported to the city wall was more than 1,000 catties, and the artillery below 1,000 catties was basically useless. ”

Wu Zheng's eyes lit up and asked, "What about these artillery?" ”

Chen Shoujie said: "Yangzhou City is not needed, so the Shi Ge Department ordered these cannons to be transported to Hangzhou Mansion, but who would have thought that the artillery on the city wall was blown up by traitors, and Yangzhou City unexpectedly fell ahead of schedule." At that time, these cannons had already been loaded onto eight large ships, and they were supposed to be escorted to Hangzhou by my father for deployment, but my father insisted on following the Shi Ge Department, so he asked me to take the place of the escort. ”
