Chapter Seventy-Nine: What You Did ...... Very good!
The soldier's heart is relatively simple.
As soldiers, the easiest way to make them admire is strength.
There were 3,000 people who came to aid the Ming army, all of whom were neat and tidy in military uniforms and neatly formed.
There are very few people in Wu Zheng's department, counting Wu Zheng, five hundred and eighty-seven people, after a vicious battle, all of them have tattered military uniforms and are stained with blood.
It was the same Ming army, but none of the people ran over there.
It is very important to be loved by the people.
Everyone understands the truth, but they can't do it themselves.
The country is dead, and there is no way to start with military salaries and supplies.
It can only levy all kinds of taxes and grab money from the people.
In the hearts of the local people, the Ming army was in great trouble, even no less than the Tartars.
Of course, that's not the point.
The people are also sensible, and if you take the money, the battle must be fought well.
But the Ming army was defeated again and again, a year ago, the south of the Yangtze River was still the land of the Ming Dynasty, and now, it can only be said that it is south of the Qiantang River, and even the Qing army has advanced eastward from Jiangxi and copied the back road of Zhejiang.
Heroes are needed in troubled times, and people's hearts need pillars.
Now the battle fought by Wu Zheng's department has given hope to the people of Shaoxing Mansion.
Not only did the people see hope, but the Ming army also saw hope.
So, they admired, and they even wondered if they could go over and join.
An official in his forties, who looked like a general, strode forward, "This official Xingguo Gong is under the command of Wei Zhen and Wei Wenyuan, but you are Wu Zheng of the hundred households of Lianghu Wei?" ”
"It's Xia Guan, who has seen Lord Wei." Wu Zheng saluted.
"Yes, as soon as this official arrived at Shaoxing Mansion, I heard that you led a thousand people to annihilate the invading enemy, which greatly boosted the morale of the army and the people. Good! Xingguo Gong has a discerning eye! Wei Wenyuan raised his hand and patted Wu Zheng's shoulder and said.
Wu Zheng said: "Thanks to the concerted efforts of the soldiers and the people under his command, the subordinate officials dare not take credit." ”
"Well, victory is not arrogant, it can be made." Wei Wenyuan said with an old-fashioned sigh of encouragement.
At this time, Zhang Huangyan rushed forward.
Wu Zheng was hugged by Zhang Huangyan, no, Xiong Hug.
"Okay, you're Wu Zheng, it's always unexpected. I thought you were martyred. Zhang Huangyan was so excited that he cried and laughed.
Qian Sule looked at this scene with a smile, his eyes flickering.
Zhang Guowei was a little embarrassed, this kid really did it.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived." Uncle Zheng, dressed in eunuch uniform, appeared silently at the gate of the palace and shouted at the top of his voice.
Uncle Zheng's voice trembled a little, and Uncle Zheng, who had always had a dead face, also had tears in his eyes at this time.
Wu Zheng broke free from Zhang Huangyan's bear hug.
His eyes turned to the door of the house.
Zhu Yujiao, who was dressed in palace clothes, appeared in front of Wu Zheng, I don't know if Wu Zheng was too careful, I always felt that she had lost a lot of weight, could it be that the food in the palace was worse than that of Wu Zhuang?
Hey, why didn't His Royal Highness King Lu come out first, but the princess came out first?
Could it be that King Lu is not in the palace?
That's really unfortunate, I originally wanted to rely on this merit to exchange some rewards back, which is good, the main owner is not here, I don't know if the reward will be lowered by one level?
Wu Zheng shook his head slightly, shaking off these inexplicable thoughts.
Kneeling down on one knee, he bowed his head and said, "Minister Wu Zheng sees Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
The soldiers also knelt down in unison, "See Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Zhu Yu came and stopped in front of Wu Zheng, "You...... Well done! ”
Wu Zheng heard the joy and trembling in his voice.
Wu Zheng replied loudly: "The minister is not good enough, it is the soldiers under the command of the minister who are doing well!" ”
Rao is Zhu Yujiao's face was tight, and she also laughed out loud.
This smile resolved the tension and crampedness in the hearts of all the soldiers in the field.
Zhu Yujiao turned around with a smile and bowed slightly to the soldiers behind and on Wu Zheng's side.
"This palace is for the people of Shaoxing Mansion, thank the soldiers."
As a result, the scene got out of control, and the wolf ran suddenly.
There's everything.
Some stood stupidly and opened their mouths wide.
Some knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Yujiao.
Some jumped left and right in a panic to dodge, not daring to accept the courtesy of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Some panicked "Ahhh
Then the formation was thrown into a mess.
Wu Zheng frowned, blushed, and his fingers trembled with anger.
He squeaked and explained: "Your Royal Highness the princess, forgive me, there are more than 500 people under the command of the minister, of which 300 are the elite who have just been recruited, and dozens of people are local righteous people recruited by the minister in Shining Town. They don't know how to be polite, I hope Your Highness will forgive me. ”
Wu Zheng is the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.
Zhu Yujiao's face became solemn.
Wei Wenyuan, who was on Wu Zheng's left, also changed his face greatly.
Strong?
Righteous man?
The rabble?
A rabble annihilated the Manchu Tartars with real money?
Is this a joke?
This made Wei Wenyuan, who led the elite of the 3,000 Ming army to come to reinforcements, but Shanshan was late, how could he be embarrassed?
But what Zhu Yujiao thought of was that Wu Zheng could annihilate the same number of Qing troops with a rabble.
But why did the king of Lu sit on an army of 60,000 or 70,000, and when he heard that 2,000 Tartar cavalry were coming, he wanted to turn in.
What's the problem?
If these 60,000 or 70,000 troops were in the hands of Wu Zheng, would they be able to cross the Qiantang River?
Zhang Guowei and Qian Sule looked at each other, they knew the inside story.
This is also the reason why they were also not optimistic about Wu Zheng winning before.
Only Wu Zheng was stunned and asked, "Dare to ask where His Royal Highness is the prison state?" ”
No one spoke up to answer.
Zhu Yujiao lowered her eyebrows, as if she hadn't heard.
Zhang Guowei snorted and said to Qian Sule: "Today's weather is good. ”
Qian Sule replied casually: "Well, it's going to rain." ”
Zhang Huangyan's face turned red, and he wanted to speak again.
Only Wei Wenyuan sneered: "Wu Baihu wants to find His Royal Highness the Prison State, I'm afraid he will go to Zhoushan." ”
Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses.
Chen Sheng and the others on Wu Zheng's side will also come to their senses.
The soldiers behind him also came to their senses, and there was an uproar.
So much so that the sturdy ones whispered.
"His Royal Highness has escaped, what are we fighting for?"
"Pity those brothers who died on Shining Street, who are they who are killing Tartars with their lives?"
Zhou Dahu took two steps, knelt down on one knee at Wu Zheng and said, "Lord Wu, forgive me for breaking my promise and leaving with my brothers." The rewards we received before, except for those that the adults should have given before the war, we will return them all in full. ”
Wu Zheng regretted wanting to slap himself a few times, what is it not good to ask, ask this?
It is not easy for the military spirit to be condensed, but it is a matter of an instant to disperse.
If you knew this, you might as well not come and receive this reward.
Wu Zheng really regretted it, even more than hearing the news of Zhu Yihai's escape.
Seeing that Zhou Dahu was going to take someone away.
Wu Zheng was angry for a while, "Presumptuous." If you are in the army, you are a soldier. Is this the place where you say you can come and go? ”
Zhou Dahu had already walked a few steps, and when he heard Wu Zheng speak, he immediately turned around and said angrily: "What does Lord Wu think?" Let's not say that they are all villagers in the township of Shining Town, let's just say that in the previous battle, there were 37 of our brothers' 100 left, and they were also worthy of adults, the imperial court, and the first emperor we had never seen. Could it be that Lord Wu still wants to kill me? ”
Wu Zheng was so frightened that he didn't know what to do.
