Dong's eyes widened and he looked at Zhang Huangyan with his mouth wide open.

Zhang Huangyan explained with a smile: "He is now in Shaoxing, Hangzhou, and Jiaxing, and he is a hot Lin'anbo, and you dare to accept his gifts?" ”

Dong hurriedly said to Wu Zhengfu: "Uncle Haihan, forgive the concubine for being rude." ”

Wu Zheng had already recovered his mood at this time, and scolded Zhang Huangyan with a smile: "How can there be a sister-in-law and an uncle to meet each other, could it be that you are not a brother?" ”

Zhang Huangyan smiled at Dong at this time: "I'm joking with my wife, and my wife doesn't need to panic because of this." ”

After such a fuss, the three of them entered the main hall with a smile.

This is said to be the main hall, and it seems too small for the three of them to go in.

Fortunately, Dong's hands were diligent, and three bowls of tea were passed through the threshold of the main hall.

It's not because of the difference between men and women, but that this main hall can no longer squeeze into the fourth person.

After singing the tea, Zhang Huangyan cut to the chase.

"Wu Zheng, this matter is very important, Wu Shengzhao, the governor of Songjiang appointed by the Qing court, intends to do it anyway, and has contacted the Longwu Dynasty and our dynasty in the south. The Longwu Dynasty contacted Su Lubo and Huang Binqing, the general of Zhoushan, and it is said that the Longwu Dynasty promised to give Wu Sheng Zhaoding the titles of Wu Bo and Pingjiang Generals. Zhang Mingzhen, Lord Shen, and I, who I contacted, and Zhang Mingzhen are now serving as a guerrilla in Shipu, Taizhou, so it is inconvenient for me to come. Although Songjiang Mansion is closer to Shaoxing Mansion, and the building near the water is the first to get the moon, but if I don't come up with an official who satisfies Wu Shengzhao, I'm afraid he will take refuge in the south. ”

Wu Zheng probably understood, and Wu Shengzhao, the governor of Songjiang appointed by the Qing court, wanted to surrender.

Now it is waiting to be sold.

"Brother Xuan, how is this Wu Shengzhao's character?"

"This ...... It has to be said by Lord Shen, it was Lord Shen who first contacted Wu Shengzhao. ”

Wu Zheng looked at Shen Tingyang.

Shen Tingyang said: "I am from Chongming, and I am not familiar with Wu Shengzhao, he wants to do it anyway, so he naturally heard from the returnees of the righteous army under his command, and someone told him Chen Zilong's address, so Chen Zilong sent someone to find me." ”

"Chen Zilong?"

Zhang Huangyan explained: "This Chen Zilong is very famous, and he is known as Mr. Wozi. This Chen Zilong is not an ordinary person, the Hongguang Dynasty fell, when the King of Lu first came to Shaoxing Mansion to supervise the country, he wanted to recruit him as the secretary of the military department, but Chen Zilong should not, accepted the canonization of the Longwu Dynasty, and was the left servant of the military department and the imperial history of the left capital. But he did not go to Fujian to take office, but stayed in Songjiang, supervised and staffed the Taihu Volunteer Wu Yi's department, and recruited local righteous people to oppose the Qing Dynasty. ”

"Oh, did Chen Zilong talk about Wu Shengzhao's character deeds?" Wu Zheng had no impression of Chen Zilong, so he selectively ignored it, and asked Wu Shengzhaolai directly, because in Wu Zheng's opinion, character determines what official title to fight for.

Shen Tingyang said: "According to Mr. Wozi, Wu Shengzhao was originally a military general in Liaodong, the Qing army surrendered to the Qing army when it entered the customs, and then followed Duoduo to the south, and when Duoduo led his troops to leave Suzhou last year, Wu Shengzhao was appointed as the governor of Susong Changzhen and stationed in Suzhou. At that time, the Qing army had just occupied Suzhou and other places, as soon as Duoduo led the troops to leave, the rebels in the Taihu Lake area began to attack the neighboring counties, and in the first month of this year, the rebels conquered Wujiang County, killed the county order, and the county officials were so frightened that they fled in a hurry. After Wu Shengzhao learned about it, he led the army to kill Wujiang County, not wanting to hear that he was coming, and the rebels had already fled. Wu Shengzhao ran away, very frustrated, in order to appease his subordinates, he asked the hint that his subordinates might move freely in the city, and the subordinates understood and left after plundering. Zhang Cunren, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang in the Qing Dynasty, learned that he had been impeached in a book. The Qing court replied quickly and fined him for half a year! ”

Wu Zheng wanted to laugh when he heard it, is this kind of treatment still called treatment?

How much is the fine for half a year?

How much does it cost to loot in the city?

What Wu Zheng didn't expect was Shen Tingyang's next words.

After Wu Shengzhao learned that he was punished, he was furious and scolded that the Qing army slaughtered the city and killed people at every turn, and it was normal to burn and loot in the locality, but have you ever heard of anyone who was fined? He robbed once and was fined for half a year, is there any reason in this world? At this point, Wu Shengzhao began to harbor resentment against the Qing court. ”

Later, Wu Shengzhao's colleague and the governor of Jiangning, who was stationed in Suzhou with him, Tu Guobao, fell into the ground, and complained to Hong Chengchou, saying that Wu Shengzhao had recruited many rebel troops and intended to rebel. Hong Chengchou ordered Wu Shengzhao to leave Suzhou and garrison Songjiang Mansion. Wu Shengzhao angrily left Suzhou, a prosperous place known as a paradise on earth, and stationed in Songjiang Mansion. ”

Wu Zhengzhi understood that this was a typical bandit mountain king.

As the saying goes, if you have milk, you are a mother, and this is the kind of person you say.

To put it mildly, Wu Zheng is not interested in this kind of person at all.

But now, after all, it is a great enemy, and one less enemy is equal to one more chance of victory.

"How many men does he have?"

"About eight thousand!"

Wu Zhengyi grinned and said: "Only 8,000 people want to wait for the price and sell? ”

Zhang Huangyan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly persuaded: "Wu Zheng, you can't act rashly, if these 8,000 people are annihilated, you will have to lose everything, but on the contrary, you can get 8,000 people under your command, and this account can be calculated." ”

Wu Zheng comforted: "Don't worry, I'm not a person who doesn't know the severity. So, how did you arrange it, let me hear it. ”

Zhang Huang said: "I have been appointed to the prison country, originally I wanted to use Zhang Mingzhen to lead his naval army to meet from the sea, but now that you propose the Northern Expedition, then there is no need for Zhang Mingzhen to respond, you can join your division and directly participate in the attack on Suzhou City." ”

Wu Zheng frowned and said, "Didn't you say that he was still in contact with the south?" What if he doesn't want to vote for me? ”

"This ...... But no matter what, it can always reduce the strength of the Tatars and strengthen the anti-Qing forces, right? ”

Wu Zheng nodded, this truth is indeed good, but Wu Zheng knows that many times, this so-called growth is actually the source of the scourge, and the so-called rat feces spoils a pot of porridge, which is the truth.

"And what else did you ask me to do? Just send someone to deliver a message to him. ”

Zhang Huangyan explained: "If you send someone to deliver the message, it will delay a lot of time, and after all, Songjiang Mansion is under the control of Suzhou Mansion, so if you leak the news, you will suffer from it." We want to use your troops to attack Suzhou and Songjiang as a way to make sure that Suzhou Mansion is flawless, so that you can secretly discuss with Wu Shengzhao about the matter anyway. ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said: "Okay, I'll take this matter, but I said in advance, if Wu Shengzhao looks at him from day to night, then I'll make it true." ”

Zhang Huang said with a straight face: "Of course, my dynasty can't tolerate such an ugly person. ”

After the matter was finished, Wu Zheng smiled and revealed his original intention.

"Lord Shen, back then, you built and tested sea ships for the first emperor, but did you have ship samples and nautical charts left?"
