Chapter 40 Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven.

Wu Zheng also sighed, "I heard that the Qing army is coming, and those who live in the temple have surrendered naked, but the mountain and wild horsemen can keep the bottom line in their hearts." I knew he was such a person, I ...... Ay. ”

Zhou Simin looked at the water in a daze and said: "According to the words of the eldest brother, there are important ministers in the court who secretly communicate with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who will this person be?" ”

Wu Zheng shook his head and said: "I am not familiar with the people in the imperial court, Fang, Fang, Huang Yi or Sun Mingzhen are not surnames at all, and now the only way is to obtain that secret letter through Li Ruhai." ”

"Then why didn't the big brother go to Li Ruhai?"

"I don't know if Li Ruhai will be as righteous as Sun Mingzhen said. If I tell him the location of the secret letter, and he turns around and tells Huang Degong, then the secret letter will be found by Huang Degong. That's all, the point is that if this letter really involves important officials in the court, then I, Wu Zhuang, my virtuous brother, my father and sister, and those soldiers who follow me will all be implicated. ”

Zhou Simin understood the meaning of Wu Zheng's words, the important minister who secretly communicated with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, knew that the secret letter was leaked, and he would try his best to kill people and destroy his mouth, although Wu Zheng was a hundred households, but more than 300 soldiers, how could he stop that person's deliberate blow?

The point is, that person doesn't know who it is.

It all shows that the gun is easy to dodge, the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, and you don't even know how to die when the time comes.

Zhou Simin said: "Dare to ask the eldest brother, do you really think Jiangnan can hold it?" ”

Wu Zheng was silent for a while and said, "Do your best and obey the destiny of heaven." ”

"I see." Zhou Simin was gloomy, "That...... Big brother go to Fuzhou with me, I heard that King Tang ascended the throne in Fuzhou, and it is safe to come to Fuzhou. ”

Wu Zheng turned around and looked at Zhou Simin and shook his head and said, "Under the nest, how can there be eggs?" If Zhejiang falls, Fuzhou will also be in the bustle. After the fall of Fuzhou, where did you flee? It's nothing more than living for an extra year and a half, and it's better to fight to the death than to steal life. It's just a pity that King Lu can't integrate the Ming army in eastern Zhejiang, otherwise he should have the strength to fight with the Qing army. ”

"Brother Xian, you will be raised in Wuzhuang for a month or two, and when the injury is healed, I will send Erhan to send you to Fuzhou."

"No, big brother can sacrifice his life for righteousness, and so can I."

Wu Zheng was a little moved, "I know the mind of the virtuous brother, but I just ......." ”

"Big brother dislikes me for having a disability?" Zhou Simin suddenly raised his head and stared at Wu Zheng, his eyes were full of excitement.

Wu Zheng hurriedly said, "No, no." Brother Xian misunderstood, I mean, you are not a martial artist, and you are not suitable for fighting. If you want to serve the country, you can use other ways, such as denouncing the cruelty of the Tartars with a pen in Fuzhou, and preaching the righteous ...... to the people of Fuzhou. ”

"Big brother is useless for dislike me after all." Zhou Simin was gloomy.

Wu Zheng was silent, and if he said too much, he would lose, so he wanted to smack himself.

Zhou Simin got up and slowly walked to the edge of the pond, "Even the eldest brother has no confidence anymore, so Daming is really hopeless." ”

Wu Zheng hurriedly said: "That's not necessarily. In fact, whether it is the King of Lu or the Tang King of Fuzhou, as long as they can unite and unanimously resist the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty still has the strength to fight. ”

Zhou Simin turned his head and looked at Wu Zhengdao: "Really? But I heard that there are only 50,000 or 60,000 troops in eastern Zhejiang today. ”

"Of course it's true." Wu Zheng nodded vigorously and said, "Victory or defeat is often not based on the number of soldiers, but on how firm the heart of resistance is. If I had an army of 30,000 soldiers like my current soldiers, I would be able to withstand the southward movement of the Qing army. ”

Zhou Simin seemed to be a little convinced, and he suddenly asked: "If there is really a day when the Manchu Qing Dynasty is defeated and the Ming Dynasty is restored, will you support the King of Lu or the King of Tang?" ”

Wu Zheng was speechless for a while when asked by this.

"Is that hard to answer?"

Wu Zheng took a long breath, did not look at Zhou Simin, but faced the pond and said, "Brother Xian, do you think that the Ming Dynasty died at the hands of the Manchu Qing Dynasty?" ”

Zhou Simin replied: "Naturally. ”

"But I don't see it that way. Long before the Manchu invasion, the Great Tomorrow was already in a state of erosion. Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and others rose up and responded. And the imperial court is overstretched, the civil and military forces above the court, and the party strife continues, which has long been a mess. This made the Manchus take advantage of the situation, otherwise, with 300,000 Tartars, how could they occupy my rivers and mountains? ”

Zhou Simin's eyes gradually turned cold.

But Wu Zheng turned his back to him, but he didn't notice it, Gu Zi said: "I thought that the Qing must resist, and the Ming must be restored, but it is Han Ming, not Zhu Ming." There is no family in the world, as long as it is a Han world. ”

"It's a big rebellion."

"It's not that serious. Emperor Chongzhen may be able to become a generation of heroes in the peaceful era, but at this time, the world has accumulated a lot of difficulties, and no matter how ambitious he is, he is also powerless. You have also seen that if the imperial court can keep the people of the world from starving, how can the people rebel? The people are poor, how can they be innocent? ”

Zhou Simin's face was like frost, and his voice was frighteningly cold, "Are you slandering the first emperor Chongzhen?" ”

Wu Zheng was cold, and hurriedly turned around and argued: "I didn't." ”

"You are obviously slandering the emperor." Zhou Simin's tears fell, and he shouted, "The emperor worked hard about state affairs, and he only slept for three hours a day, and he could save money on food and clothing, and even ...... The prince and princess are reluctant to eat more meat on weekdays. Even if the chaotic army entered the city, the emperor could abide by the ancestral precept of the Son of Heaven to guard the country, and the king would rather die than give in. You...... But you are here full of nonsense, slandering the emperor? ”

Wu Zheng was stunned, and Zhou Simin's reaction was so strong that it was completely unexpected by him.

Even Zhang Guowei, Qian Sule, and Zhang Huangyan didn't have such a strong reaction that day?

Zhou Simin said sharply: "You still open your eyes for chaotic ministers and thieves like Zhang Wei and Li Wei? You...... What a disappointment for me! ”

After speaking, he turned around and left.

Wu Zheng was in a hurry, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull, "Brother Xian is angry, my brother is wrong, whether it is King Lu or King Tang, you will support whoever you say." ”

No, Zhou Simin's right arm was lost, Wu Zheng pulled it, but he didn't pull it, and only pulled a sleeve.

Zhou Simin was resolute, his steps were hurried, and he was pulled by Wu Zheng's sleeve, and his body staggered.

Unfortunately, this stumble is just on the flat ground, but on this narrow nine-curved corridor, Zhou Simin's left hand sleeve is on the head of the railing column of the corridor.

As a result, Zhou Simin lost his balance, and his whole person spun around like a dhara, and he was about to fall on his back.

Wu Zheng rushed forward at the right time and hugged him.

It's a long story, but it's fast.

This scene changed in a snap of a finger.

Even the two sides didn't have time to speak, to make a sound.

Wu Zheng leaned over, and Zhou Simin tilted his face.

The two faces were only a few inches apart from each other, and each other's snorts could be heard.

Strange posture, just kept like this for a long time.

Or Wu Zheng came back to his senses first and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Zhou Simin shook his head unconsciously.
