Chapter 443: Persuade Jin Shenghuan to surrender

Zhang Guowei took a breath, suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "The Tartars are still restrained in the prefecture and county seats, but in the towns and villages, they do all kinds of evil, and almost all of the fishing villages within a radius of 100 miles have been abused by the Tartars. I out of anger, only to disclose my identity, planning to convene the villagers to save themselves, I brought these rebels, three months ago, are still farmers, fishermen, weavers, really can't go on, have rushed to attach, more and more people gathered, food has become a problem, I really have no choice, can only lead the troops out of Siming Mountain, planning to Pinggang Mountain, I don't want to hear along the road that the Ming army is attacking Shaoxing Mansion, so send scouts to explore the movement of the Qing army in Pinggang Mountain, this just happened to save Chi Erhan, this bastard boy. ”

Wu Zheng echoed: "This bastard almost killed the officers and soldiers of Pinggang Mountain, it's time to clean him up." ”

Zhang Guowei shook his head and said: "The admonition should be, but it is too much." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Guowei sighed: "If the generals of the Ming Dynasty are as brave as Chi Erhan, why is this!" ”

Wu Zheng fell silent.

Zhang Guowei immediately changed the topic and said: "Now that the post pavilion has been recovered, although the Qing army in Shaoxing Mansion is overwhelming, it has lost its way to retreat. What's next for you? ”

Wu Zheng replied: "Surround and annihilate." Once this Qing army is destroyed, at least in eastern Zhejiang, there will be no Qing army, and the Qing court will lose control in the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. ”

Zhang Guowei nodded slightly and said: "The war is naturally a battle, but the Qing army in Shaoxing Mansion has at least more than 30,000 people, and under the stubborn resistance, the losses of our army may be huge." ”

Wu Zheng frowned slightly and said: "Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, the dust will not run away by itself, and some sacrifices must be endured." ”

Zhang Guowei said: "Maybe you can persuade to surrender and divide the Qing army, as far as I know, in the Qing army in Shaoxing, only one is the Qing Eight Banners, which is the Han Eight Banners of Ke Yongsheng, the chief soldier of Jiangxi, and most of the rest are recruited by the Ming army and the rebels and bandits from all over the country." ”

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Zhang Gongxiang has a strategy, so he might as well say it clearly." ”

"Okay, I did think about the strategy, before in Pinggang Mountain, after Wang Deren surrendered, speaking of Jin Shengheng's background and resume, I think it is possible to persuade Jin Shengheng to surrender."

Wu Zheng shook his head and said: "I have also heard of Jin Shengheng's origin, but this fang kills the Ming people like hemp, let's not say whether he will surrender, just say that he is willing to surrender, and I am not willing to accept him, let alone whether the court agrees." Zhang Gong may not know that now the Qingtai Dynasty decides military and political affairs with the will of the five internal ministers, even His Royal Highness can't influence it, let alone me. ”

Zhang Guowei persuaded: "That's the reason, but have you thought about it, if you storm Shaoxing City, the people in the city will inevitably suffer in vain, and in addition, with Jin Shengheng's heart, I am afraid that I will do things to coerce the people." Second, if we attack the city, the casualties of our army will be a bottomless pit, and it will be a lot of losses, and I am afraid that it will be unbearable for our dynasty, so I hope you will think twice. ”

Wu Zheng thought for a while, and felt that what Zhang Guowei said was reasonable, he was really going to be disabled, not to mention reinforcing Ying Tianfu, I am afraid that it would be difficult to even defend Shaoxing and deal with the counterattack of Fujian Duoduo, so he said: "But Jin Shengheng may not be willing to surrender." ”

Zhang Guowei said: "Send Wang Deren to say surrender, Wang Deren has been following Jin Shengheng for a long time, and the relationship between the two is good, so he may be able to persuade Jin Shengheng." ”

Wu Zheng agreed, "In this case, you might as well try it, this matter will be troubled by Gong Zhang." ”

Zhang Guowei nodded in response.

……。

That night, the Ming army sent arrows to the city, and it was Wang Deren's handwritten letter.

There was nothing else in the letter, that is, Wang Deren asked Jin Shengheng to meet.

Wu Zheng didn't pay attention to this matter, since he handed over this matter to Zhang Guowei, he didn't want to ask anymore.

Wu Zheng went to see Fang Guoan, the purpose was to appease.

"Is the general better?" Wu Zheng asked with a smile.

Fang Guoan's mood had improved, and he replied lightly: "Thank you Zhen Guogong for your concern, Fang Mou feels better." ”

Everyone can hear this perfunctory, and whoever has a broken hand feels better in half a day.

Wu Zheng didn't care, people have a temper.

He chose to be straightforward and deal with people like Fang Guoan, but he was timid and straightforward.

"If the general is dissatisfied with Wu Zheng in his heart, you might as well say it directly."

Fang Guoan replied: "Fang Mou is just a general, how dare he be dissatisfied with Zhen Guogong." However, since today Fang Mou led his troops to attack the city according to the intention of Zhen Guogong, although Shaoxing City was not captured, the task of containing the Qing army in the city can be regarded as accomplished, I don't know how Zhen Guogong and his subordinates will be placed? ”

That's the essence of everything.

How should I be placed?

Wu Zheng asked who to go?

Although Wu Zheng is in power, the court is not his alone after all, there are superintendents, cabinets, generals and soldiers, and the placement of Fang Guoan and his subordinates, which may cause unnecessary trouble.

Wu Zheng was indeed a little hesitant, which did not conflict with what he had promised when he ordered Fang Guoan to attack the city.

Previously thought that this battle was a battle to the death, Wu Zheng thought that even if Fang Guoan could survive, there would not be many surviving subordinates, and when Fang Guoan entered the dynasty, his subordinates would be integrated into his own army, which would be easy to place.

But now it's different, Fang Guoan is alive, and his subordinates still have 2,000 people.

2,000 people are integrated into his own army, not to mention that Fang Guoan is not happy, even if he is willing, Wu Zheng is not happy?

A few drops of blue water in a tank of red water, shake it a few times and it will disappear, but if you add a basin of blue water, what color does this tank of red water become?

Therefore, this matter made Wu Zheng embarrassed.

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "I don't know what the general plans to do in the future?" ”

This is a procrastination, and Fang Guoan naturally got it.

But he was already a little disheartened, and said in a deep voice: "If the prince of Zhenguo is embarrassed, Fang Mou just wants to unload his armor and return to the field, these brothers who have followed Fang Mou for many years...... Disband! ”

Wu Zheng was silent, of course he could hear Fang Guoan's resentment.

Thinking that after all, it was he who ordered Fang Guoan to attack Shaoxing City, Wu Zheng was heartbroken and asked: "Hangzhou Mansion recruited 30,000 recruits before the war, and it was the time of training, if the general did not give up, could he train for Wu Zheng?" ”

Fang Guoan was stunned, training?

He looked at his severed hand and said with a wry smile: "Fang is already a crippled person, wouldn't he be smiling and generous in training." ”

But Wu Zhengzheng said: "The general will first say whether he is willing or not, right?" ”

Fang Guoan looked at Wu Zheng and asked for a long time, "What about Fang's subordinates?" ”

Wu Zheng said: "I am going to build a military academy in Songjiang Mansion, and I just need an army to be stationed, and the rest of the general can be fully settled, so I don't need to transfer another army." ”
