If it turned out, Wu Zheng would also give the clan some grace time to leave the country.
Then, at the moment when he received the urgent report from Jiaxing Mansion, Wu Zheng was angry.
It is said that the Son of Heaven is angry, and the blood is flowing.
However, when the princes were angry, they did not give in.
Wu Zheng issued two orders in a row.
The eleven prefectures must be deported within three days.
The 20,000 troops of the First Army of the Northern Expedition assembled, and entered Pingwang (the boundary of Suzhou Prefecture) through the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.
The imperial army stationed in Changzhou Mansion heard the news and went south, and the vanguard reached Wuxi.
A big war, on the verge of breaking out.
The people of Sifu, who had not been in war for nearly three years, couldn't help but panic and began to pack up and prepare to flee.
However, a day later, the Wujiang Northern Expeditionary Army suddenly retreated.
It's so fast, it's breathtaking.
A war with a sword on the string suddenly disappeared as if it had never existed.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see the difference between the two armies.
The Northern Expeditionary Army's dispatch and withdrawal of troops was too fast.
The advance and retreat of the 20,000-strong army was like flowing water, and there was no chaos at all.
At the same time, Jingwei, the capital of Changzhou, waited for the Northern Expeditionary Army to retreat, the main force had not yet reached Wuxi, and only a vanguard of 3,000 people arrived.
People have to die more than people, and goods have to be lost.
The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.
……。
Qian Sule did not die.
Zhang Xinxia and Xu San's Xiushui County Garrison Corps rescued him.
Xiushui County Garrison People's League, garrison Zhang Xinxia, deputy garrison Xu San, and Xu San also serves as the county lieutenant of Xiushui County.
This militia group is a special case under the rule of the General's Office.
The previous Yellow Camel murder case involved the Qing court's detailed crimes in Xiushui, and the people of Xiushui paid huge casualties to resist the lurking Qing army.
Wu Zheng rewarded the meritorious people, and also took into account the actual needs of the Grand Canal freight, and set up the Xiushui People's League on a special basis.
The function is to supervise the freight of the canal and protect the land and the people.
and simply pulled out the old head of the dock porter as a garrison, and gave the name Zhang Xinxia.
At the same time, Xu San, the head of the special arrest, was the lieutenant of Xiushui County (according to the Ming system, Xu officials had no chance to be officials).
Qian Sule's luck was very good, firstly, he was riding in a carriage instead of an official sedan chair, and secondly, he did not expect that a militia would suddenly appear in the chasing army.
In the vicinity of Wangjiangjing, Zhang Xinxia was patrolling with hundreds of people from the Xiushui People's League, and happened to meet Qian Sule's carriage being chased by more than 20 cavalrymen.
Although I don't know what happened, I don't know who the people in the carriage are, and I don't know whether it's right or wrong.
Zhang Xinxia is a rough man, born as a porter, and his thinking is different from that of ordinary officials.
But Zhang Xinxia knows very well that in his own one-third of an acre, the dragon has to coil, the tiger has to squat, and he wants to pull out his share and go elsewhere.
So, without even asking, he directly led the militia to meet him.
The militia did not use swords, they used muskets, which was also a privilege given to them by Wu Zheng.
At that time, the dock seized a large number of muskets hoarded by the Qing army, and Wu Zheng remembered his merits and specially allocated 300 muskets to equip the militia group.
Therefore, looking at the cavalry who did not even have military uniforms, Zhang Xinxia was worried that the cavalry was approaching, and after the warning was ineffective, he resolutely ordered to shoot at the cavalry.
After firing a volley of 100 guns, and after defeating the seven or eight horsemen, the rest of the cavalry, seeing that they were outnumbered, turned their horses and fled.
Zhang Xinxia knew that he couldn't catch up, so he didn't order to chase.
only rescued Qian Sule and his party of three people (along with the other six guards of Qian Sule, they were killed after Qian Sule was broken).
The seven horsemen who were knocked down by the militia, four people who died on the spot, one slightly injured and two seriously injured, were captured by the militia.
Qian Su escaped from death, but because he didn't know the details of Zhang Xinxia, he didn't dare to tell him by his real name, which made Zhang Xinxia's report sent to Hangzhou Government not clear who the survivor was.
Because Qian Sule concealed his identity, Zhang Xinxia's report included the sundries and copywriting found in the carriage and sent them together.
And Wu Zheng received Qian Sule's letter a few days ago, knowing that Qian Sule had the heart to resign, Wu Zheng was very happy, but he didn't know when Qian Sule would leave Beijing, otherwise he would have sent someone to pick it up.
Wu Zheng also thought that Qian Sule would not leave Beijing in the short term, because under normal circumstances, the transfer and resignation of a chief official would require a period of handover.
In Wu Zheng's opinion, Qian Sule would not leave Beijing in a month and a half, so Wu Zheng waited for Qian Sule's next letter to inform him of the specific date of leaving Beijing.
No, Qian Sule left Beijing suddenly, and quietly left Beijing.
Therefore, when he saw Qian Sule's things, Wu Zheng thought that Qian Sule had been killed, and in a fit of rage, he immediately ordered the Northern Expeditionary Army to go north to avenge Qian Sule.
But a day later, the people sent by Wu Zheng to pick up people in Xiushui County found that there was Qian Sule among the survivors after arriving in Xiushui, so Pegasus urgently reported to Wu Zheng.
Wu Zheng rushed to Xiushui County overnight, and when he saw Qian Sule, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Father-in-law, it scared me to death." Wu Zheng grabbed Qian Sule's sleeve, "If there is really something wrong with my father-in-law, I will lead the army to level Ying Tianfu...... I don't care what the court or the Ming family is. ”
Qian Sule was a little moved, he understood that Wu Zheng was different from other princes, from the day he met Wu Zheng, Qian Sule had heard Wu Zheng's words that were close to rebellion, regaining his sight, but recovering was not Zhu Ming.
However, after all these years, in fact, Wu Zhengdu is still supporting the Ming family, which is beyond doubt.
In Qian Sule's heart, Wu Zheng is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, rigid on the outside and soft on the inside.
And now, Wu Zheng resolutely ordered the Northern Expeditionary Army to go north for him, which really surprised Qian Sule.
At any cost, these four words are easy to say, but difficult to do, not that they can't be done, but there are too many involvements.
If the Northern Expeditionary Army goes north, it has become a conspiracy to rebel, and if it is done, it will confirm the notoriety of plotting to usurp the throne, which is a crime that can never be washed away for Wu Zheng.
Just as Ming Chengzu seized the country from his nephew, in fact, Zhu Di's actions after seizing the throne are obvious to all, in all fairness, in terms of the country and the people, Zhu Di did much better than Zhu Yunwen.
But no matter how good the world's martial arts are, they can't cover up Zhu Di's evil deeds of plotting to usurp the throne.
is not in the right position, these four words are enough to nail Zhu Di to the pillar of shame and be scolded by future generations.
Confucian inheritance is reasonable, smooth, heaven and earth, and the name is right.
Confucianism has never focused on talent, to be precise, talent, is secondary.
Pay attention to morality and conduct.
It is said that the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked.
There is a way that the king begins with this, and it will end from this.
Facts have proved that Zhu Di's descendants also staged almost the same scene, this is not superstition, but the reincarnation of heaven.
Therefore, ordinary people may not understand, but Qian Sule understands!
So, he was moved.
But moved to be moved, Qian Sule's first sentence was, "King Wu's move is inappropriate, no matter what, King Wu is a minister, not a king!" It is a great disrespect to take personal revenge and raise troops to attack the king...... I implore King Wu to order the withdrawal of troops and not to make life miserable! ”
