That night, Wu Songwei barracks.

The temporary residence of the eldest princess Zhu Yujiao is lit by candles.

“…… Since you want the people of Jiangnan to recuperate, you shouldn't have another dispute with the Fanren, and you should be a snake...... And let's do it. ”

"You've heard?"

"Distant and close attacks, the Qing court in the north is the biggest enemy of our dynasty."

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "No...... Three years ago, it may have been, but now it is not, at least, after the Battle of Xuzhou, it is no longer so. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"A strong fortress is often breached from within, and no matter how powerful an enemy is, once it falls into civil strife or division, it is no longer to be feared...... I suddenly realized now that Shen Zhiyuan had made a good move! ”

Zhu Yujiao frowned and said, "Just the young man who used to be in charge of the Pinggang cottage?" ”

"Yes, it's him, I didn't expect you to remember him."

"This person is slippery, unlearned, and unskilled." Zhu Yujiao said lightly, it was difficult to hide a trace of disdain in the corners of her eyes, in her opinion, Shen Zhiyuan's disobedience was still above Wu Zheng, "I have heard of what he has done in the past two years...... Things gather like like and people come together in groups, and you shouldn't be close to him. ”

Wu Zheng laughed when he heard this, and bowed, "Thank you, eldest princess...... Unexpectedly, in the heart of the eldest princess, I am still a gentleman-like character. ”

Zhu Yujiao's face flushed slightly, and she chirped: "The horse doesn't know how long the face is!" ”

This time it was right, and the atmosphere between the two gradually became more harmonious.

"Your approach is so absurd that I can't figure out many things."

"Oh, you might as well ask me."

"If you Lifu King Zhu Lianbi is to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, you should not leave Beijing. But if you really want to be the emperor of the Ming family, you shouldn't make the underage Fu Wang the emperor. ”

Wu Zheng raised his eyebrows, "I actually thought about welcoming back King Zhu Yihai to the throne, but after thinking about it, no, Zhu Yihai has been in charge of the country for several years, and there are many old ministers who are loyal to him, even today, many of my subordinates are his old subordinates, I can't drag you down, and find someone more troublesome than you...... Instead of a constant fire in the backyard, it is better to find someone who will not get in the way to sit there and worry! ”

Zhu Yujiao became angry, "I have never interfered with you...... It is you who do not know how to restrain yourself, which makes the government and the opposition indignant ....... ”

Wu Zheng had no choice but to arch his hand and say: "It's my fault, it's all my fault...... His Highness was furious. ”

Zhu Yujiao was a little embarrassed, yes, Wu Zheng was not self-reliant, and the Son of Heaven was still surnamed Zhu, so Wu Zheng's respect for the title of King Wu was obviously slightly higher than that of the princess, even if it was the eldest princess.

"That's it...... I'm just ...... It's just casual talk. Zhu Yujiao cleverly changed the topic and said, "But after all, you can't defeat the combined fleet of the Fanren, even if you can really win, you will lose both, and it will be harmful to things." Besides, Dongfan Island is far from the coast, and there is no hurry to recover it, so the most important thing at the moment should not be the Northern Expedition? ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yujiao's eyes turned red, "The enemy of the country hates the snow, as a son of man, I can only look at the north and cry every night...... When will you be able to keep your promise to the Northern Expedition? The reason why I promised you to go back to Hangzhou with you is just that one day I want to personally collect the remains of my father and bury them in the ancestral temple, so that he can enjoy the ...... of blood and food. ”

Wu Zhengzheng said: "There will be that day, and it should be soon." On the other hand, on our side, the Northern Expeditionary Army has reached the Yellow River, and Li Dingguo, the king of Yongli Jin, has invaded Huguang, and the Qing court has already arrived in Shaanxi and Gansu, and now the remnants of the Dashun army are also counterattacking...... The beacon fire of the Northern Expedition is no longer a sporadic fire, but a raging fire. ”

"You...... Do you really want to restart the war with Fanren? ”

"I don't want to."

“……。”

"However, you have to be prepared to fight in the end."

"Why bother?!"

"Don't worry, even if I don't win, I won't lose...... No matter how sharp the guns of the Fanren warship were, they couldn't climb ashore with long legs. ”

"Who is not at ease?" Zhu Yujiao said lightly, "The palace is going to rest, King Wu, please go back." ”

……。

The next day, Wu Zheng returned to Hangzhou.

Entering the city from the Qingtai Gate, it was welcomed by the people of the city.

It is nothing new for the Northern Expeditionary Army to win a battle, but it was the first time to drink the Yellow River.

Even an illiterate person has realized that the Northern Expedition, which has been shouting for several years, is really hopeful.

At this time, I am afraid that everyone has a subtle expectation of King Wu in their hearts, even if he is just a melon-eating crowd, even if his relatives are killed or injured in this war.

With a strong pride and self-confidence, they shouted "Long live King Wu" to the "god" they admired in their hearts.

Long live King Wu is obviously a slogan that violates the system, but no one thinks it is against it, and no one dares to feel that it is against it, in the face of hundreds of thousands of people, it is uninteresting, and it is self-seeking and self-sufficiency.

To Wu Zheng's surprise, behind the subordinate officials of the General's Mansion, the three thousand students of Jiangnan College unfurled a huge banner with four big characters on it - Hello Wu Zheng!

At this moment, Wu Zheng's eyes suddenly moistened, and he had an illusion in his heart, could he have crossed over again?

Wu Bochang is an old literati, no, that's not quite accurate.

Wu Bochang is an old literati who has been suppressed for many years, has never met talents, and has self-pity.

This description, although not true, is not far away.

There was a fire in his heart that he thought had been extinguished, and the Wu family's fate and mission of continuing for nine generations made him have to curl up and be a native in Shining Town.

However, Wu Zheng touched his heartstrings, opened his long-closed heart, and made him suddenly discover that in fact, everything could be started again, so he was out of control.

To put it simply, Wu Zheng's best student for the edification of later generations was his father Wu Bochang.

This is the banner that is not tolerated by the world today - Wu Zheng, hello!

Even if it is the prince, we are equal, I can respect you, but I will not bend my knees.

Wu Zheng shouted on horseback, "The sound of books is strong, and the country is the soul...... Long live the Northern Expeditionary Army, long live the Han people......! ”

Behind Wu Zheng, three thousand students recited in Langlang.

"Suppose we don't go to war,

Enemies with butcher knives

killed us,

Then he pointed to our bones and said

see

This is the slave ......! ”

In the carriage behind her, Zhu Yujiao lifted the corner of the curtain of the car window in surprise, she had seen Wu Zheng's ability to fool, but now, she was surprised by the reaction of the people, and even more surprised by the banner that these young students pulled up, she was really surprised, she pushed herself off the altar, Wu Zheng, what do you want to do?

The hearts of countless people, shaken by this low passion, combined with the previous excitement and enthusiasm, this extremely contagious and contagious emotion, violently shook and washed people's hearts, and more joined this recitation.

This is a baptism of the soul, because of victory!
