Chapter 832: Be Respected by the World
By the time Wu Zheng disembarked, the battle on the dock had basically ended.
To Wu Zheng's surprise, only seventeen Qing soldiers were captured, and the rest were killed.
Looking at the corpses of the Qing soldiers in one place and the government soldiers who were spitting and complaining, Wu Zheng knew very well in his heart that it must be the people who did it, and the government soldiers cooperated.
However, Wu Zheng had no intention of pursuing it, and these righteous men were able to intercept this batch of firearms so smoothly.
At this time, Wu Zheng saw a group of people rushing towards him.
The first half-blood-stained man glared at Wu Zheng and said, "Are you ...... Rajah? ”
Wu Zheng nodded and said, "That's right, it's this king, who is this righteous ......?" ”
"The little one's surname is Zhang, and he is called Lao Zhangtou."
Wu Zheng said suddenly: "Okay, this king will call you Lao Zhangtou." ”
Lao Zhangtou said: "Lord, today my five brothers and others gathered hundreds of brothers at the dock to intercept firearms for the government and stop the Qing soldiers, and now my five brothers are killed, two injured and three, and the brothers at the dock have suffered hundreds of casualties, and I also ask the prince to give us an explanation." ”
Speaking of this, Lao Zhangtou's eyes turned bloody.
Wu Zheng looked around, looked at those expectant eyes, nodded and said: "The merits of all the righteous people, this king has seen it with his own eyes, that ...... Old Zhangtou, tell me, how should this king give you an explanation? ”
Lao Zhangtou pointed to the Qing soldiers and said, "I want those Qing soldiers to kill and pay tribute to the souls of my brothers in the sky!" ”
Wu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, but not now, and it's not for you to do it." ”
Lao Zhangtou thought that Wu Zheng was shirking, and asked, "When was that?" Who's going to do it? ”
Wu Zheng pointed to Chen Hongfan, who was guarded by the government soldiers in the distance, and said to Lao Zhangtou: "That is the evil of the enemy chieftain, besides, the battle at the east and west city gates has not subsided, and the deserters are still being pursued...... In this way, when the war subsides, after the king asks for a confession, the king will publicly execute these prisoners in front of the county office, and give you and the people of Xiushui an explanation, how about it? ”
Old Zhang Tou thought for a while and asked, "Is what the prince said true?" ”
Wu Zheng said solemnly: "This king will do what he says!" ”
Old Zhang Tou wanted to give it up, but he found that he couldn't give it up again, and laughed miserably: "Then Zhang and the brothers, just wait for the news of the prince." ”
After speaking, he turned around and beckoned to his subordinates with his right hand, "Follow me." ”
Wu Zheng was a little stunned, so it's over?
So he beckoned: "Old Zhangtou, and slow." ”
Lao Zhangtou turned around and asked, "What is the matter?" ”
"With so many casualties, don't you ask this king for some reward and mercy?"
Lao Zhangtou was also stunned, "We are entrusted by others and loyal to others...... Well, if the prince has plenty of money and wants to reward me, then dare to give me an account, and let me have an explanation for the brothers and families who were killed or injured. ”
Wu Zheng couldn't cry or laugh, and asked, "Who are you entrusted with?" ”
"It's the old man Li Zhengxu on the street in front of the county ya."
Wu Zheng nodded and said, "Okay." Such...... You will make a list of the casualties and the number of people present today, and after today, bring them to the county government, and the king will be rewarded...... Not only will there be a reward, but this king must also give you glory, and you can't let these righteous people die without a name, right? ”
Lao Zhangtou looked at Wu Zheng in surprise, and after a while, he finally bowed down and said, "Old Zhangtou is a brother, thank you." ”
Wu Zheng stepped forward and said: "This is not appropriate, it should be this king for the people of Jiangnan, thank you brothers, you are fighting for the country and the people, and you should be respected by the world." ”
From the initial surprise, people's eyes gradually became hot.
In just a few words, it is a spiritual baptism.
The people who were there to see and hear, from this moment on, they were proud of themselves.
The dignified King of the County is thanking them.
They used to be the lowest level of fart people today, but now, they are worthy heroes.
Be respected by the world!
Wu Zheng didn't think of "incitement" at this time, in his heart, the Jianghu people are a special group, it is a double-edged sword, he has always been respectful, he just said what he wanted to say in his heart, the truth, the truth.
But he didn't know that his words were a seed that grew with the wind.
Dignity and glory are indispensable spiritual pillars after people have enough food and clothing.
Wu Zheng may not know that after today, this group of people is his potential diehards, who can live for him and die for him.
……。
Jiang Quanyi led his troops to pursue and defeat the enemy.
These Qing soldiers have been in Xiushui for a long time, and they are still relatively familiar with the terrain.
The direction of their retreat was Dongcheng, because the west city was already in full swing, and the east gate was guarded by Chen Hongfan and Sun Zhengqiang, and they thought that even if Chen Hongfan and Sun Zhengqiang wanted to escape, they would definitely flee to the west city and join the defenders of the city gate.
This is the most normal thought, but they don't know that Chen Hongfan and Sun Zhengqiang will flee to the docks, and they have already treated them as outcasts.
As the sky brightened, this group of Qing soldiers, who still had nearly 100 people, joined the Qing soldiers in Xicheng under the drive of Jiang Quanyi.
Jiang Quanyi was caught off guard, and when he approached the city gate, he was hit by the Qing soldiers on the city wall and full of arrows.
Fortunately, Jiang Quanyi was an infantry on foot, and they saw the opportunity quickly, and after being shot seven or eight people over, they immediately looked for cover in the houses on both sides.
But in this way, there are already 200 Qing soldiers on the city wall, but there are only 50 or 60 of them, and Jiang Quanyi can only watch the city wall, and there is no way to take the Qing soldiers.
But Jiang Quanyi is still lucky, the Qing soldiers who were pursued by him have lost their fighting spirit, otherwise, if he takes advantage of the situation to fight back, I am afraid that Jiang Quanyi will have to switch roles and escape to this Qing army.
But the problem is that the Qing soldiers on the city wall are not happy, they look at the Ming army a hundred steps away, and want to get rid of it as soon as possible.
Of course, they also did not dare to go down the city tower, not that they did not dare to fight Jiang Quanyi, but their duty was to guard the city gate in case of the arrival of Jin Shanwei.
It's easy to go down, but once the Ming army escapes, will it be chased?
One chase, in case Jin Shanwei arrives, how can he go back to arm?
Therefore, the Qing soldiers in the city did not mean to go down to the city to fight Jiang Quanyi, they just turned off the twelve six-pounder cannons on the city wall.
But Jiang Quanyi couldn't see this scene under the city.
After a stalemate of about a pillar of incense, when the first sound of the artillery on the city wall sounded, Jiang Quanyi was so frightened that his hairs stood on end.
Just kidding, at this distance, twelve six-pounder rapid-fire cannons, one round of coverage is enough to cripple a formed army.
But the question is, can you run?
This distance, back out of the range of the artillery, was too slow, slow enough to allow the artillery on the walls to fire a second round.
So, Jiang Quanyi's heart was crossed, and he brazenly ordered to charge.
Since you want to die, you should die on the way to charge, and at the same time, this is the only way Jiang Quanyi can think of to regulate artillery, that is, to approach, to get close to the dead end of the artillery.
So, under the leadership of Jiang Quanyi, the 50 or 60 soldiers brazenly launched an assault towards the city gate.
