Wu Zheng groaned: "Shaoxing Mansion is too small, not enough to order the world's righteous soldiers, now Hangzhou is recovered, Xingguo Gong and hoard troops in Jiaxing to block to aid the Tartars, as long as Yue Guogong ordered, tens of thousands of Ming troops in Hangzhou can join with Xingguo Guild, from Xingguo Gong to Zhenjiang, Yue Guogong stationed in Jiangyin, Wu Zheng is not talented, willing to go to Shanghai, recover Jiading. As long as the Tartars' strongholds in Jiangnan are cleared, our dynasty will be able to have more land and population. Even if you can't fight Jiangbei, at least you have the basis to fight against the Tartars. Now that the Qing army is fighting on three fronts, I am afraid it will be difficult to mobilize enough troops to move south, and our dynasty will have time to breathe and accumulate strength. ”

Fang Guoan gasped when he heard this, and secretly said that this kid is really ambitious.

If it is really like what he said, half of the south of the Yangtze River belongs to the Ming army.

Fang Guoan shook his head and said: "The Bengong you mentioned has also thought about it, but it is not realistic, Duoduo has already raised troops from Jiangning and gone south to come to Hangzhou. According to the time, it should have begun to approach Changzhou, if our troops go north, they will encounter in Suzhou, can you be sure to defeat? ”

Wu Zheng said: "So Yue Guogong and Xia Guan need to join forces with Xingguo Gong, according to Yue Guogong said before, Duoduo brought only 3,000 Tartars and tens of thousands of troops, and now there is a precedent in Hangzhou, when it can be known that the army is still concerned about the homeland, taking advantage of the victory in Hangzhou, Xia Guan thought that he could fight with Duoduo. ”

Fang Guoan still shook his head, "This duke doesn't want to take such a big risk, according to my duke's opinion, it is better to stick to the city of Hangzhou, and after defeating Duoduo in Hangzhou, I will try to recover the north." ”

Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and was about to open his mouth to persuade.

Not wanting Fang Guoan to suddenly turn his face, he said sharply: "Wu Zheng, this duke orders you to cooperate with our department to collect and surrender troops as soon as possible, prepare the defense of Dongcheng, and suppress the riots in the city." How to deploy the matter of going north, this father has his own plans. ”

When Wu Zheng heard this, there was a rush of anger in his heart.

"Yue Guogong, the city of Hangzhou has been restored, south of the Yangtze River, except for Jiangning, there are almost no organized enemy troops in the entire land, such a good opportunity is fleeting."

Fang Guoan was furious, "My father said that he has his own plans." If you don't want to stay in Hangzhou, you can go back to Shaoxing Mansion to report to Your Highness, but if you disobey the military orders of this duke, this duke can kill you on the spot. ”

Wu Zheng knew that Fang Guoan was right, at this time, unlike in Shaoxing Mansion, as the commander-in-chief, Fang Guoan had this power.

The so-called heroes don't suffer immediate losses, Wu Zheng can only give up his hand and say: "The lower officials obey orders." ”

……。

On the way back to Dongcheng, Wu Zheng sat on horseback, looking at the scene of the black miasma on the entire street, and his heart throbbed.

The Ming army under Fang Guoan was actually looting.

Along the street, all the houses with slightly higher lintels were kicked in, and the doors were opened.

The sound of wailing and screaming can be heard all the time.

Groups of chaotic soldiers, rushing through the streets and alleys.

Is this really liberating?

Wu Zheng asked himself, if this is the case, is it meaningful to recover?

Chi Erhan and the others beside him glared angrily and were indignant.

Wu Zheng shook his head slightly, he couldn't control it.

When moving forward on Jinwei Road Street and turning to the intersection of the Weaving Mansion, Wu Zheng suddenly heard a woman's mournful cry for help.

Following the sound, a middle-aged man in the captain's uniform and several soldiers were dragging a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman into the side room, and the woman was desperately clutching the door frame and not letting go, constantly shouting for help.

The helpless and desperate look in his eyes moved Wu Zheng.

Chi Erhan grabbed the reins of the horse and looked at Wu Zheng with an inquiring gaze.

Wu Zheng gritted his teeth and shook his head again.

I really can't control this.

Twisting the horse's head, Wu Zheng was about to ride the horse away.

The woman's desperate cry came from behind her, "My lord, help me!" ”

Wu Zheng's eyes suddenly surged out of a wave of heat, uncle!

"Erhan, drive those soldiers away."

Chi Erhan waited for Wu Zheng's words, slapped the horse's buttocks, and with a "Xi Yuyu" sound, the war horse stood alone, and then rushed towards the soldiers.

In fact, when Wu Zheng and a few people appeared, these soldiers had already paid attention.

This is normal, the official uniforms worn by Wu Zheng and several people show their identity.

But identity is one thing, authority is another.

They do not belong to the jurisdiction of Wu Guan, and the so-called county officials are not as good as the current management.

But when Chi Erhan drove forward, they had to face it head-on.

Chi Erhan shouted: "Seeing that my family is current, I don't bow and don't salute, do you want to rebel?" ”

The leading captain stepped forward in full clothes, "I've seen my lord." ”

But his expression is full of indifference, and he looks like he doesn't like you.

There is no way, Wu Zheng has a face that does not have a beard, and he can't bluff people.

"The Ming army recovered Hangzhou, and the people in the city rejoiced, and they actually plundered civilians here and molested women from good families, do you know that military law is ruthless?" Wu Zheng rebuked coldly.

At this time, Wu Zheng still wanted to calm things down, as long as this group of soldiers was soft, Wu Zheng really didn't want to care.

The city of Hangzhou has just been recovered, as the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions to the siege of the city, it is not too much to indulge, as long as it is not excessive, Wu Zheng himself is also a person who leads the troops, and knows that this group of men who pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers need to vent.

This is understandable, they all say that they do not blame the public, and there are also those who say that they do not know are not to blame.

Although Wu Zheng was very strict, these soldiers were not under Wu Zheng's command, and Wu Zheng really couldn't control them.

Moreover, Wu Zheng did not want to expand the division with Fang Guoan because of this matter, which was not conducive to the next rectification of order in the city and the joint efforts to resist the counterattack of the Tartars.

But Wu Zheng didn't expect that the arrogant soldiers were very arrogant.

"Dare to ask your Excellency's name?"

"My family is a thousand households of the Lianghu Guard." Chi Er said in a dull voice.

The captain arched his hand and said: "I have heard the name of Wu Qianhu for a long time, and I have always admired it. However, under the rule of adults, the soldiers are two taels of silver per month, and they can be paid every month, but what about us? ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand to the left and right, and pointed at the soldiers and ruffians, saying, "I waited for a tael of silver a month, but it hasn't been paid for two months." Dare to ask adults, we also have a small family, should we earn some money and take it back to support our family? ”

Wu Zheng frowned and said: "Then why do you want to bully her a weak woman, the people of the Ming Dynasty have worked hard, looking forward to the recovery of the Ming army, but now you are bullying this woman from a good family, you also have a little wife, don't you want to think that your family will be humiliated one day?" ”

The captain raised his head and smiled, looked at Wu Zheng provocatively, and said, "Lord Wu, don't worry, except for my father, there are no women in our brothers' families, and even my father and mother are no longer complete." Let's desperately attack the city, just to grab gold and silver, and grab women. Yue Guogong didn't stop us, Lord Wu's hand was stretched too long, right? ”

"What if the official has to take care of it?"

The captain was stunned for a moment, then took a step back, pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist and said, "I advise my lord not to meddle in his affairs." ”
