Wu Zheng glanced at everyone, and everyone lowered their heads.

At this time, Jiang Boli said: "If the adult can trust the student, the student can stay." ”

Wu Zheng looked at Jiang Boli for a long time, shook his head and said: "No, this is not a matter of belief or not, this official also has to consider that if he sends someone to stay, the more than 300 bandits who surrendered will also have to stay, and maybe there will be other bandits on Pinggang Mountain in the future." There is a need for someone who can train the soldiers. ”

Chen Sheng thought for a while and said, "Why don't you ...... The subordinate led a battalion to stay here. ”

Wu Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay, I'm relieved to have you here." In this way, Chen Sheng was responsible for military training, and Jiang Boli was in charge of the internal affairs of the village. (He Shu, an internal affairs officer under the command of a hundred households, from the seventh rank.) It is different from Zhao Shi's ministry).

When Jiang Boli heard this, his face suddenly changed, from a court criminal, a thief, to a seventh-grade official with Wu Zheng's words, which didn't make him excited?

He bent his legs and knees, knelt in front of Wu Zheng, and choked up: "The student is valued by the adult, and he will definitely assist the adult with all his heart in the future." ”

Wu Zheng stretched out his hand and said: "Jiang Boli, this official does not look at people in the past, but in the future. It's not your statement, it's your behavior in the future. Do things well, and the official will not treat you badly. ”

"Master Xie instructs, students remember."

"Jiang Boli, you also have the task of building two granaries in the village, paying attention to fire, moisture, and rats. Erhan transferred the 10,000 stone grain he had hoarded before to the village. ”

"Yes."

……。

If Wu Zheng fought three battles and won three victories against the Tartars before, he was respected by the people at the bottom of the eight counties of Shaoxing Prefecture.

Then the success of this crackdown on bandits made Wu Zheng have direct contact with the gentry and wealthy merchants in the eight counties of Shaoxing Prefecture.

After hearing Wu Zheng's victory, they were overjoyed, and went back and quickly raised 6,000 taels of silver and sent it to the Lianghu Guardhouse to reward the meritorious soldiers in this battle.

This warm atmosphere of the whole people, coupled with Wu Zheng's posting of notices in various counties, greatly shocked the bandits from all walks of life on Pinggang Mountain.

Within five days, seven bandits sent men to the guard to ask for surrender.

The rest of the bandits did not dare to linger any longer and fled westward.

In less than five days, in the area of Pinggang Mountain, Haiyan River is clear, whether it is passers-by or businessmen, they no longer worry about personal and property safety.

Wu Zheng's fame was immeasurable for a while.

And Wu Zheng is secretly having fun at this time.

In addition to Liu Laosan's group of bandits who surrendered, the seven bandits who surrendered brought him more than 200 soldiers, as well as tens of thousands of taels of silver and sundries.

Of course, Wu Zheng also knew that this was not all the property of the Seven Bandits.

But Wu Zheng pretended not to know, and Wu Zheng understood the truth that when the water is clear, there are no fish.

The number of soldiers in the col reached six hundred.

Under Chen Sheng's command, they were deliberately "tortured".

They only have two things to do every day, running wildly in the mountains and fighting each other in the village.

The top 50 were temporarily appointed in order to test 100 households, general flags, small flags, etc., and were rewarded with silver.

Ten days in a rotation, three consecutive times in the top 50, awarded a real position.

As a result, these bandits, who had just become officers and soldiers, howled and revealed their wolf nature.

Wu Zheng's move, firstly, was to dissipate their bandit habits, but to retain their fierce temperament. Second, they wanted to take advantage of the fact that these bandits were familiar with the terrain in the Pinggang Mountains and their vigorous foot strength to train a special unit suitable for fighting in the mountains.

Prepare for future guerrilla warfare.

At this time, the Lianghu Health Center wanted people and money.

Coupled with the unanimous approval of the government and the opposition, it may be said that the scenery is very good.

But this kind of good time really didn't last long.

Five days later, Liao Zhongping came to the Wei Institute to deliver the prison decree.

Wu Zheng was ordered to go to Shaoxing Mansion immediately to discuss important matters.

It must be a big deal to let Liao Zhongping personally deliver the message.

So, Wu Zheng followed Liao Zhongping to Shaoxing Mansion.

……。

To Wu Zheng's surprise, the Duke of Yueguo Guo'an and the Duke of Xingguo were already here.

"Wu Zheng, a thousand households in the Chenliang Lake Guard, has seen His Royal Highness the Prison State, and has seen the two princes."

Zhu Yihai raised his hand and said excitedly: "Wu Zheng, you came just in time, I am about to raise troops to counterattack." ”

Wu Zhengwen was shocked when he heard this, but now Wu Zhengcheng Mansion is already a little bit old, and he didn't ask, but arched his hand and said: "This is a good thing that the subjects of the government and the opposition look forward to day and night." ”

Zhu Yihai smiled and pointed at Fang Guoan: "Thanks to Yue Guogong's early news, otherwise I would have lost a good opportunity to fight back this time." Wu Zheng, and sit down and listen to Yue Guogong tell you the details. ”

Wu Zheng silently sat down with Liao Zhongping, and when he sat down, he glanced at Zhang Guowei and Qian Sule from the corner of his eye.

The two stood expressionlessly, without the same joy as Zhu Yihai, and their eyes did not touch Wu Zheng, Wu Zheng could only hold back the surprise in his heart and listen to Fang Guoan's explanation of the situation.

"It was only yesterday that my father learned the information about the withdrawal of the Qing army from Hangzhou." Fang Guoan said as he glanced at the ministers present, "The Qing court Dorobelle and the Pingnan general Le Ke Dehun have been ordered to be transferred to Huguang, and there are only 3,000 Tartar elites and 30,000 surrendered troops in Hangzhou Prefecture. Based on the current comparison of the forces on both sides of the Qiantang River, our DPRK can launch a war. ”

Wang Zhiren said: "Wang agrees with Yue Guogong's idea, even if the Qing court Jiangning Mansion reinforcements rush to Hangzhou Mansion after hearing the news, it is estimated that it will take at least five days, and Wang Mou's army can cross Hangzhou Bay to block the Qing army, which can be delayed for at least three days." In this way, we have eight days to launch an attack on Hangzhou. ”

After all, Wu Zheng couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "How many days has it been since Luckduhun led the army to retreat?" Will it be withdrawn abruptly? ”

Fang Guoan replied: "I have been leaving Hangzhou Mansion for five days, and even if I want to withdraw, I am afraid it will take at least five days." However, according to Bengong's estimate, the possibility of withdrawal is very small, and He Tengjiao, the governor of Longwu Huguang, recruited the remnants of the original Dashun army, such as Li Guo, Gao Yigong, Hao Shaoqi, and Liu Tichun, and launched an attack on Jingzhou and Wuchang. ”

Wu Zheng nodded, he agreed with Fang Guoan's judgment.

If Jingzhou and Wuchang fell into the hands of the Longwu Dynasty, then they might be connected with Shaoxing, so that the Qing court would completely lose control of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

And if Hangzhou Mansion is lost, there is still a natural danger of the Yangtze River, which is nothing more than a tug-of-war between several cities, and it will not have a critical impact on the war situation.

Wu Zheng asked again: "Dare to ask the Duke of Yue, how many troops does the Qing army in Jiangning Mansion have at this time?" How many cavalry were there? Who will the Qing court send to succeed Luckedhun? ”

Fang Guoan replied: "I heard that it is Prince Yu Duoduo. ”
