Jiang Quanyi hissed: "But I fought to the death with my brothers, and I didn't want to bear the stigma of surrender." ”

Shen Zhiyuan snorted, "Please." If you don't want to, you can retreat with your hundreds of men, and I will not stop you. But then again, where are you retreating? Ying Tianfu? I'm afraid I can't tolerate you. Hangzhou Mansion? Wu Zheng won't take you in. Also, if we make a monstrous military feat because of this, it has nothing to do with you, and you will regret it then. ”

Don't say it, when Shen Zhiyuan said this, Jiang Quanyi was really silent for a while.

When the battle came to this, 20,000 people died, and hundreds of their survivors retreated like this, and they really couldn't be reconciled.

It's just that there is no hope, but the hateful thing is that Shen Zhiyuan gave them hope to make contributions, even if it may be a fire pit, but I have to say that Shen Zhiyuan's plan is still somewhat feasible.

In the past ten days of occupation, Jiang Quanyi and they also have some understanding of the strength of the Qing army in Huai'an, as Shen Zhiyuan said, there is indeed something to be done to stay. If it comes to the day of Wu's Northern Expedition, the anti-war will respond...... When you think of this, how can you not be moved?

Qian Qiaogong suddenly opened his mouth and sprinkled a scoop of cold water on the heads of the three people.

"I have one last question." Qian Qiaogong said in a deep voice, "Although the imperial court has designated our department as a rebel, everyone in the court knows that we are still killing the enemy. Therefore, the families of our soldiers were not implicated because of this. But this time is different, once you surrender, as you said, the Qing court will definitely publicize it, so that the families of our soldiers will definitely be investigated by the court, and what is even more tragic is that they will be denounced and vented by the neighbors who do not know the truth. Shen Zhiyuan, your family is in Shaoxing, but the families of the soldiers are in Beijing, Zhenjiang, Suzhou and other places...... You will kill them. ”

These words instantly made Jiang Quanyi furious, he widened his eyes, and shouted: "Shen Zhiyuan, you dog thief ......!" ”

While scolding, he pulled out the knife with a "choking" sound.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Wang Yilin hurriedly got up and pounced, blocked between the two, and stopped Jiang Quanyi, "Lord Jiang, isn't this discussing together?" If there is something wrong, you can only find a solution by saying it, right? ”

Shen Zhiyuan glared at Qian Qiaogong angrily.

With Shen Zhiyuan's cleverness, how could he not have thought of this?

It's just that, as Shen Zhiyuan said when he persuaded Wu Zheng at the beginning, "You have to learn from me, just like I want to be a general who commands the army and gallops on the battlefield. ”

These words were as if they were engraved in Shen Zhiyuan's heart, and now, he still thinks so, "Wu Zheng, if I need to die one day, I will not frown."

Shen Zhiyuan thought of it, but he didn't say it.

As long as the end is achieved, the means can be ignored, and victory requires sacrifice, even if the sacrifice is too painful and unbearable.

When Shen Zhiyuan turned his head to face the angry Jiang Quanyi, his face was already calm, "Lord Jiang, I said before, you can choose not to participate, you can retreat." But if you want to stay, you have to endure the pain. There is no victory without a price, and we are also sacrificing, sacrificing our reputation and sacrificing our lives, just like the 20,000 soldiers who died in Yizhen. Compared to the great cause of expelling the Tartars, anyone can be sacrificed...... Including me. You...... Make your own choice! ”

Jiang Quanyi, who was hugged by Wang Yilin, no longer struggled, his hand holding the knife trembled violently, he no longer glared at Shen Zhiyuan angrily, he was crying, crying, crying hysterically.

The howling made Jiang Quanyi exhausted, and he slowly collapsed to the ground by Wang Yilin's body, and the knife in his hand fell off his hand with a crisp sound.

It's a heart-rending pain.

Even if this man dies by himself, he will not cry like this.

But now, he understands that what he needs this time is not his death, nor the death of his brothers who lived and died together, but their families.

How could he not cry?

Sending one's own family to death with his own hands, no one can endure the pain of being cut off.

Qian Qiaogong regretted it, he really regretted it, he slapped himself twice hard, and he was also crying.

He knew that Shen Zhiyuan could think of it, but he didn't approve of Shen Zhiyuan deliberately concealing it.

So, he spoke out.

In Qian Qiaogong's heart, he believes that everything should be put in the light, especially for these brothers who live and die together.

But now, Qian Qiaogong regretted it, and he found that Shen Zhiyuan seemed to be right.

Sometimes, concealment is a form of love, and sometimes it is deceiving...... It is also a kind of goodwill.

When all tragedies are destined to happen, the parties do not know that it is a kind of happiness.

When Jiang Quanyi stopped crying, when Qian Qiaogong stopped crying, when Wang Yilin nodded firmly at Shen Zhiyuan, when Shen Zhiyuan pursed his lips and stretched out his right hand firmly, when the four hands were clasped together.

There was a thunderclap in the distance, and torrential rain poured down.

The raindrops with the size of beans formed a curtain of water under the eaves, and splashed on the outside of the house.

It seems to wash away this filthy world and return the living beings in the world to a peaceful world.

……。

Wang Zhiren received Wu Zheng's invitation, and he really didn't want to go.

People always have to take care of their own face.

Choosing Zhu Cihong and abandoning Wu Zheng is his own choice, although he knows that he was wrong now, but it is too late to regret it at this time.

Therefore, Wang Zhiren did not want to face Wu Zheng.

Wang Zhiren can't go.

Under this sharp confrontation, if you go to meet with Wu Zheng in private, once the emperor knows about it, the consequences will be very serious.

But Wang Zhiren had to go.

The big war is imminent, even if Wang Zhiren is a recruit, he understands that with the current 20,000 sailors, he can't defend such a long riverbank, and there are 10,000 recruits in this set, and the recruits who have only been trained for less than ten days have been trained.

Originally, as long as Wu Zhengneng led the army north, the chances of blocking the Qing army would be greatly increased.

But the problem is that the emperor refuses to issue an edict to ask Wu Zheng for help, which seems to be about the face that ordinary people can't understand.

Therefore, the only hope is the Zhoushan Water Master.

In order to command these 20,000 sailors, Wang Zhiren had to go to see Wu Zheng in order to get the Zhoushan water division to help defend the river.

On the water outside the mouth of Wusong.

Wu Zheng had a secret meeting with Wang Zhiren from afar on the ship.

The two looked at each other silently and did not speak for a long time.

Finally, Wu Zheng spoke, "Xingguo Gong, you really shouldn't be like this. ”

Wang Zhiren suddenly lit the ground like a firecracker, and poured out a series of complaints in his heart, "Why can't I be like this? The crown prince is naturally more justified than you, a descendant of Huizong who doesn't know the truth or falsehood. Is it wrong for me to be loyal to the imperial court and to the Ming Dynasty? Wu Zheng, the old man doesn't owe you, and I'm not wrong, I have a clear conscience......! ”
