Among the five members of the cabinet, only Chen Zilong was very angry, he insisted, "This matter is abrupt and bad, insulting Sven, insulting the face of the court, and hurting the hearts of the gentry and people in the world. ”

But he was the only one, and even His Royal Highness Zhu Yujiao was silent at this time.

For the property of a wealthy man in a city of "enemy country", to severely punish a prince of the dynasty who has made great achievements?

It's ridiculous to think about.

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, Qingtai Chaozhong, if you dare to trouble Zhenguo Gong if you have nothing or trivial matters, I am afraid that you will not be able to find one.

The officials in the court slandered in their hearts, how to punish them severely? People are the Zhenguo Gong with heavy troops, and he was almost proclaimed emperor by you, and now he has made monstrous achievements, and he will not be rewarded, and he will be severely punished? You can touch it with your mouth, but what about us, with an egg and a stone?

That's it.

But the impact of this incident on the future is very serious, Wu Zheng already has the reputation of "General Hating the Sky", and after this incident, it is even more "famous".

What's more serious is that because of this incident, it triggered the unanimous resistance of Jiangnan Gaomen to Wu Zheng, which gave people with good intentions a good opportunity and created a series of incidents, which almost caused chaos.

……。

Wu Zheng really didn't know what was happening on the other side of the river.

He didn't expect that Qian Sudian would lead the remnants to go crazy with Wang Yilin, and actually attack Jiangdu.

It was really captured by them, although it only lasted for more than ten days, but after all, it was captured.

Wu Zheng didn't know that he had suddenly become a person who "collected dirt".

I don't know, along the Yangtze River, the high-ranking giants regard him as a thorn in their side.

Wu Zheng was busy arming at this time.

Zhenjiang City could no longer change hands, and the nine artillery pieces brought by the Ming army were placed at the head of the north city, and the muzzles of the guns were pointed directly at the river.

The army needs to be repaired, the people in the city need to be pacified, it is spring, but Wu Zheng is so busy that his head is full of water.

Song An, who was scolded by Wu Zheng for thinking about donkey hair, successfully entered Danyang City.

When Xia Wanchun learned that Wu Zheng had led his army to attack Dantu and planned to attack Zhenjiang after the fact, Song An suddenly understood that he was likely to pass by Wu Zheng.

He secretly said that it was not good, if Wu Zhengzhen thought that he was attacking the west gate of Zhenjiang, so he went all out to attack Dongcheng, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So he didn't have time to say more, left Wu Xiaomei in the city, and asked Xia Wanchun to take care of him, and he quickly led the cavalry back north.

Wu Xiaomei pointed at Song An's back and scolded, "Who do you let take care of whom?" ”

Xia Wanchun smiled bitterly and shook his head.

If you want to talk about things in this world, sometimes it is really predestined.

The Qing army's retreat to the south was a last resort.

Song An went to Danyang to meet Wu Zheng.

But as a result, Wu Zheng took Zhenjiang City with the cooperation of Liao Zhongping, and Song An saw that he was about to make a big mistake, but he was lucky and ran into the Qing army retreating south.

So, Bai picked up a big achievement.

More than 1,000 cavalry, facing thousands of fleeing Qing troops head-on, formed a north-south attack with Liao Zhongping's troops chasing behind the Qing soldiers.

The cavalry plowed back and forth against the Qing army several times, and it stopped directly, and the world was quiet.

……。

A day later, the Third Route Army finally met in Zhenjiang City.

The moment she saw Wu Zheng, Wu Xiaomei cried and pounced, shouting, "Brother." ”

The love between brothers and sisters is clear at a glance.

Wu Zheng, who was originally angry in his heart and planned to blame Wu Xiaomei, turned into a finger twist at this moment, and sighed at Wu Xiaomei.

After a long time, Wu Zheng slowly pushed Wu Xiaomei away, "Don't be so willful anymore, Zhenjiang Mansion is full of battlefields, if there is an accident, how do you let me explain it to my father?" ”

Wu Xiaomei sobbed and said coquettishly: "There are a lot of things to play in the palace, but after staying for a long time, no matter how fun it is, it will be boring." Brother, my father has arrived in Hangzhou, so you will let me go to Hangzhou, right? ”

Wu Zheng, who was grabbed by Wu Xiaomei and swung straight up with his left hand, how could he still refuse?

Besides, Wu Zheng really didn't want Wu Xiaomei and Zhou Simin to stay by Zhu Yujiao's side anymore.

In Wu Zheng's view, Zhu Yujiao is becoming more and more proficient in power and strategy, no longer a simple girl, but more like a politician.

Wu Zheng can't imagine what it will be like if one day, when the two are opposed, but at least, he can let Wu Xiaomei go to Hangzhou Mansion and not get involved in this quagmire.

"Since you have already come out, then as you wish, go to Hangzhou Mansion to accompany your father...... Remember, stop being willful. ”

Wu Xiaomei burst into tears and smiled, "I was relieved to see that my brother was safe and sound, but Simin was still in Yingtianfu...... She also wants to go back to Hangzhou to ....... ”

Wu Zheng frowned slightly and said, "After I return to Beijing, I will send someone to send her back to Hangzhou." ”

Turning his head to look at Song An, who was cowering, Wu Zheng shouted angrily: "I'll settle accounts with you when I go back." ”

Song An was ordered to take a cavalry to escort Wu Xiaomei to Danyang, because the battle around Zhenjiang City had basically ended, and the Qing army on Jiangxin Island had no troops to adjust, so Wu Zheng ordered the reinforcements from Hangzhou to stay in Danyang.

After that, Wu Zheng began to deploy the defense of Zhenjiang City.

Provisionally appointed Sun Jiaji as the chief military officer, led a unit to garrison Dantu, and ordered Liao Zhongping's troops to garrison Zhenjiangcheng to prevent the Qing army from counterattacking on Jiangxin Island.

……。

Xuzhou's 80,000 Qing troops went south.

The Qing court finally formed a unity of opinion.

Tan Tai, who had been delaying Jiangxin Island for several days, received Dolgon's order, so he had no reason to resist the decree again, and returned to Beijing unwillingly to report on his work.

Tan Tai was replaced by a political enemy who was recalled by Dolgon, Prince Zheng Zilharang.

As a result, the command of the Qing army in Jiangbei and the 80,000 Qing army in the south of Xuzhou fell into the hands of Hong Chengchou and Jierharang, forming a joint force.

From a revenge to a battle, at this point, it has evolved into a decisive battle.

It has to be said that war is a Pandora's box, which once opened, it is uncontrolled.

The Qingtai Dynasty was in a desperate situation, and this decisive battle was far from being comparable to the original Duoduo luring Fang Guoan and the occupation of Shaoxing Mansion.

At that time, the Qing army did not use the main force, in the final analysis, it was just Duoduo taking the sheep by hand.

But now, the Qing army has gathered more than 100,000 troops and rushed towards Jiangnan with a crushing momentum.

This kind of invisible and tremendous pressure was not trivial for the officials, military and people of the Qingtai Dynasty.

As a result, chaos reappeared.

When people don't bear the pressure, they will first complain and blame others.

It's human nature.

Within two days, the impeachment letters gathered in the cabinet were almost piled up in a wing room, and the targets were naturally Wu Zheng and Wang Zhiren, and of course Wang Yilin and Qian Sudian also fell.

Many people believe that Wu Zheng's defense and recovery of Zhenjiang are beyond reproach, but he actually formulated and implemented such a huge combat strategy with Xingguo Gong in private, which not only ignored the prison and the imperial court, but also directly led to the decisive battle between the two countries.

This statement is very marketable, and Chen Zilong is the person who led it.

And it is precisely because of the unprecedented pressure, internal and external troubles, that a coup d'état has the soil for brewing.
