XLIII

"Get on your knees!"

The soldiers of Dingyuan, waving the weapons in their hands, the officials of Yangzhou Mansion, knelt in the cold blood water.

Not far away, the screams of wounded soldiers stopped abruptly from time to time. That's Dingyuan's soldiers mending the knife, since you are living in pain, then help you get rid of it.

In fact, this is also a kind of kindness, but it is different in the ears of these officials.

The official master, who is usually high, is trembling and kneeling in the cold blood water at this moment.

When Zhu Wu's figure appeared in front of them, these people hurriedly knocked their heads in the dirty water, and their attitude was more respectful than when they saw the Great Yuan Emperor.

Zhu Wu, surrounded by his personal guards, rode into Yangzhou City.

"Yangzhou's civil and military forces are here."

Feng Sheng said beside Zhu Wu, "It's that the Tartar Wanhu and the one who participated in the governor's affairs called the Buddha family ran away." ”

Zhu Wu nodded, as expected.

There is no siege in Yangzhou, it is attacked directly from the wharf, and the other city gates are open, and people want to run, but it is really difficult to catch.

"Is there still resistance in the city?"

Zhu Wu didn't even look at the kneeling officials, and slowly moved forward.

"It's almost over, some rebels took advantage of the fact that it was getting dark and ran to the people's homes, and some ruffians took advantage of the fire to rob!"

"Kill them all!"

Zhu Wu snorted coldly, turned around and shouted, "Go, tell Hua Yun to take the guards to patrol the city tonight." If there are restless, kill them all! ”

Zhu Wu needs Yangzhou and settles down immediately.

Only after settling down in Yangzhou can we provide support for the Dingyuan army as soon as possible.

"Chief, more than 10,000 troops have been surrendered, isn't it~~~~?" Feng Sheng was beside Zhu Wu, made a gesture to touch his neck, and asked in a low voice.

"Han Jun?"

Feng Sheng nodded, "Basically, there are some lustful people!" ”

"Kill all the people of the Eye!"

Zhu Wu said in disgust, "The Han army divided the officers and non-commissioned officers, and starved for a few days. ”

Say kill and kill, murderous.

Feng Sheng nodded and stopped speaking.

After defeating Yangzhou, the general manager did not seem to be very happy.

Zhu Wu is not unhappy, but now is not the time to be happy.

The letter he was looking forward to had not yet come.

~~~

"Send a letter to Xiao Wu, we're here, when will we call Gaoyou!"

Zhu Chongba stayed by the Ma River, went to the land of the Angaoyou Road, and said in a deep voice.

"Brother, did you bring our Haozhou Army over here to fight Gaoyou with that side?"

Xu Da asked on the side, "Who is it that you knock down?" ”

"Let's contain it, he fights!"

Zhu Chongba still looked ahead, his face unchanged.

Xu Da hesitated, "Brother, let~~~?" ”

"We understand!"

Zhu Chongba patted Xu Da on the shoulder, "It's still the same sentence, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the army of millions is about to go south, and we are now grasshoppers on the same rope with Xiao Wu!"

The others are put in advance, and at this time, the knife edge is consistent with the outside, and the anti-yuan is the right thing! ”

"However, he laid down Gaoyou, what good do we have? He's bigger again! ”

Zhu Chongba pondered for a moment, "There are some things that you can't just look at in the present, but also in the future!" ”

Xu Da argued unconvinced, "The government is a million-strong army, if it can't withstand it, Zhu Wu can forget about Jiangsu and Zhejiang, what about us?" ”

"What if you can carry it?"

Zhu Chongba smiled and asked, "Let's nail it here, if the official army is defeated, our tens of thousands of people can copy the back road of the official army!"

Do you only see Gaoyou with your eyes, do you see Huai'an?

Besides, Xiao Wu and we have words first, and they really repelled the officers and soldiers, and he gave us Gaoyou! ”

"Shhh

Xu Da gasped, these two really dared to think.

However, he immediately couldn't control his thoughts, repelled the official army, and took Huai'an Gaoyouer City.

It seems, it's not bad.

So, he jumped the horse's head and went to give the order.

Zhu Chongba continued to look ahead, silent.

A few days ago, after he sent a letter to Zhu Wu, he quickly replied the next day.

"If you want to fight, you will fight. Dingyuan crossed the river in the next day, took Yangzhou, Gaoyou, and Taizhou, and controlled the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.

Brother, would you like to help?

For example, today, although the war is chaotic, the heroes are rising together. But the Mengyuan court and the base are still there, tearing down the east wall to make up the west, and they can also suppress us.

Now there is a God-given opportunity to get rid of the million-strong army and go south. If he wins, Meng Yuan will hurt his muscles and bones, and the world's heroes will be excited.

Since then, the east wind has overwhelmed the west wind, and Meng Yuan has no time to take care of himself, and there is no soldier to send to the southeast!

This victory will go down in history.

Brother Chong, you and my brother, the gap in my heart is not worth mentioning, the world is good, not to mention Huaixi?

Defeat Tokhtar, you and I can truly divide one side and secure our destiny! ”

Zhu Wuxin's words flashed in his mind, and Zhu Chongba laughed loudly.

Xiao Wu is right.

Don't look at the thieves everywhere making fun now, but whether it's Liu Futong or Xu Shouhui, aren't they still being pressed and beaten by the imperial court?

The army of one million people went south, and he didn't want to recruit An, so he either joined forces with Xiao Wu, or waited to be broken by each one. lost his foundation, became a lost dog, and was chased by the officials and soldiers.

"Little Wu, it's really bad for us!"

Instead of being beaten passively, it is better to jump out and fight you off.

Go down in history!

Thinking of this, Zhu Chongba felt that his blood was hot.

Throughout the ages, which anti-king dared to face the million-strong army of the imperial court?

Let's Zhu Chongba!

Since the day he joined the army, our Zhu Chongba has not lagged behind others by half a step!

We joined the army not only for the sake of the future and wealth, but also the uneven bird spirit in our hearts!

Why do people like us have to starve? Why, our seven-foot man has to be a fourth-class southerner?

Let's not accept it!

"Pass our order!"

Zhu Chongba ordered the people around him, "In the past few days, let the brothers eat openly!" On the other side of the river, there is food! ”

~~~

"Report, Commander Guo took Taizhou, Taizhou Salt Farm, 10,000 salt Ding took the initiative to join the army!"

"Good!"

Zhu Wuda smiled, took the battle report, and read it.

Guo Xiaosi's words are crooked and ugly.

"Fifth brother, Taizhou I have fought, but there are a lot of dead people, and more than 2,000 brothers have died."

"Such a large casualty?"

Zhu Wu then looked down, "It's not that the brothers don't work hard, the prefect of Taizhou is a Han official, the old guy swears not to surrender, and in the end there is no one around him, and he wipes his neck by himself on the old dog's day."

Many people died, but more than 10,000 salt pieces were collected in the salt factory, and they were all good men from poor families.

I heard that our Dingyuan army is coming, and the one who took the lead slaughtered the salt and defected to us!

Can it be used? ”

In fact, the meaning of this letter lies in the last three words.

Can you use diced salt?

It's true that these people come from poor families, but it's also true that they are brave and ruthless. The court loved and hated them, because they could be recruited into the Han army at any time, and because if something was wrong, these people were easy to rebel.

Zhu Wu smiled, picked up the pen and wrote on a piece of paper.

"Yes! However, you have a good grasp of the scale, tens of thousands of people come to you, you have to be careful of those who lead. They want to be of the same mind as you, and these people will be easy to use. They don't have the same heart as you, they have their own little abacus, then these people~~~"

As he was writing, Zhu Yu quietly handed over a blue-skinned letter on the side.

Zhu Wu stopped writing and looked at it.

"Lord, the four generals suffered heavy casualties in Taizhou, so after the city was broken, the civil and military officials, officials and soldiers in the city surrendered, and all of them were slaughtered!"

"Bastard!"

Zhu Wu scolded, when did Guo Xiaosi also get infected with indiscriminate killing!

"Outside Taizhou, there are more than 10,000 people in the salt field, defecting to the four generals. The four generals held a banquet, punished their leader Li Bosheng, and broke up Yanding into the army. Then the three armies were rewarded with a big position, and Yanding also had it, and 10,000 people surrendered! ”

"Huh!"

Zhu looked at what he had just written, and his heart was not yet dry, and he smiled dumbly.

"Xiao Si has also grown up, and he is determined to kill!"

With a wry smile, he tore the blue letter to shreds, and the letter he had just written.

Outside the door, Teng Teng's footsteps came.

"Chief, letter from Sizhou!"

"Bring it in!"

Zhu Wu walked quickly to the door.

When I opened the letter, a few big words came into view.

"Little Wu, we're here!"

"Beat the drums, gather the generals, raise the tent!"

Zhu Wuda smiled, "Let's fight Gaoyou!" ”
