"Please tell them that the official can't allow it. First, although the official is said to be a four-rank general, his actual position is still only a thousand households, and the temporary command of more than 10,000 troops in the city is already arrogant, and I am afraid that they cannot be given their original positions. Second, if the various ministries do not obey the orders of their own officials, they will have to stay in Hangzhou in a cooperative manner, which will definitely cause disputes, and I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future. Of course, the official still welcomes them anyway, after all, they are all Han compatriots, as long as they kill the Tartars together, they are all friendly troops. In my opinion, it is too early to discuss this. ”

Lu Nancheng was slightly disappointed, and he glanced at Mo Obsession.

Mo Zhinian stepped forward again and said: "Lord Wu, although the Lord is only a thousand households, his strength is no less than that of the general army of one side, and even after repelling Duoduo, according to the Hangzhou Mansion, it is not an exaggeration to say that the governor is the governor. Under the governor, it is common sense to set up a general army and garrison. ”

Wu Zheng's eyes shrank, "Mo Lao is instigating his own official to stand on his own?" ”

Mo Zhinian's eyes flashed in the same way, but his words were very soft, "My lord misunderstood, the old man came with all the squires today, just to advise the adults, in the troubled times, if you want to succeed, although righteousness is indispensable, but strength is the most important." Now is a good opportunity for adults to show their ambitions, as long as adults occupy a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, then they will rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore their sight...... It's all a matter of one sentence from an adult, and I hope adults will think twice. ”

The words are not clear, but the meaning is clear.

Wu Zheng slowly turned his head and looked at Li Ruhai and the others.

Li Ruhai had a smile on his face.

Zhou Dahu was indifferent, his eyes didn't know where to gather.

Chen Shoujie's face was gloomy.

His son Chen Qicai seemed to be careless about him.

Ji Erhan, who had slipped back, was also laughing, and Song An nodded vigorously at Wu Zheng.

The attitudes of the descendants around him are already very clear.

Wu Zheng turned his head, looked at Mo Zhinian and asked, "Then what do you want?" ”

Yes, these twenty or thirty squires will come for nothing? They will have a plan.

Mo Zhi smiled, he knew that Wu Zheng was tempted.

Who can't be tempted?

There are tens of thousands of people outside the city, and there is strong financial support inside the city.

Just wait for Wu Zheng to nod his head, and Hangzhou Mansion will become a new force in this troubled world.

No one can not be tempted by this temptation.

Mo obsessed and said: "The food and salary supply of tens of thousands of troops consumes no less than 100,000 taels per month, Lord Wu is busy with military affairs, so he naturally takes care of the cumbersome things of business without flawlessness. I don't know what adults think? ”

Can Wu Zhengyan hear it?

This is a nice thing to say, but the meaning is very clear, that is, the wealth must be controlled by these dozens of squires.

By this time, Wu Zheng finally understood everyone's demands.

It's a deal.

These people in front of them, and the army outside the city, they have to start anew.

But the problem is that they have no righteousness, the old men in front of them, they are second ministers, and they have no military strength in their hands, so they naturally can't support this stall, they need to rely on a force to achieve what they want.

And the surrendered army outside the city, after three days of fierce fighting, already knew its fate.

That is, it was used by Duoduo as a tool to consume the defenders, and their life and death were not in the scope of Duoduo's consideration.

So, they need to find a way to survive for themselves, it's easy to fight back, but what to do in the future?

If there is no food and salary, the base area will be finished, so it is necessary to surrender to one of the forces in the Southern Ming Dynasty.

If it is a fully formed army, it may be able to exchange for a position in Zhu Yihai or Longwu Dynasty.

But they are too scattered, and they are composed of troops from all walks of life, and I am afraid that no one will obey anyone.

In this way, even if he takes refuge under Zhu Yihai or the Longwu Dynasty, he will sooner or later face the dilemma of being annexed by the existing forces.

Thinking about it anyway, but unwilling to be annexed, and at the same time wanting to get rid of being used as cannon fodder by Duoduo, they thought of surrendering to Wu.

This is the prestige that is played out, and they serve.

But the question is, Wu Zheng himself is only a thousand households, how can he accommodate such a huge army?

So, the brain moved to form a new force.

These old men and the troops outside the city almost hit it off.

And if according to their demands, Wu Zheng has almost become a puppet character in the name of the master.

In other words, except for his own troops, Wu Zheng could not control any part of the surrendered army.

And the financial power will also be sidelined.

The only gain is to have a good reputation, that is, to become a prince of the public recommendation.

In addition, there is no need to worry about the food and salary of more than 10,000 people under his command from now on.

Of course, Wu Zheng couldn't agree.

The financial power is aside, Wu Zheng does not object, as long as he has the money to give it to himself to raise soldiers, as for other ideas, he really can't take care of it now.

But the military power is scattered, what is the use of breaking the name?

Therefore, Wu Zheng rejected Lu Nancheng, and did not object to Mo Zhinian's proposal.

"This request, this official may agree."

Wu Zheng's statement made all the squires present happy.

Their demands have been satisfied, and then the next thing is only the question of the placement of that army.

Lu Nancheng pondered for a while and said, "Lord Wu, can you be accommodating?" ”

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said: "This official can retain the actual positions of all generals, and each ministry can still be established independently, but the military positions below 100 households and 1,000 generals must be appointed by this official, and there is no need to discuss this point." ”

Lu Nancheng nodded and said: "What the lord means, the old man is clear, and the old man will definitely tell him the truth." ”

Wu Zheng shook his hand and said: "If they are really right, they must accept the reorganization after the war, otherwise, they will see it on the city wall, this is the bottom line of this official." ”

Mo Zhinian suddenly said: "Don't worry, adults, they have to agree to your conditions." ”

Wu Zheng was stunned.

Mo obsessedly said: "The military strength of the adults plus the financial resources of us, if the army outside the city is interested, they will definitely accept the conditions of the adults, compared with the humiliation under the command of the Qing army, the conditions we gave are already very favorable." ”

Wu Zheng suddenly nodded and said, "Since this is the case, this official is waiting for your good news." ”

On this night, history took a huge turn in Hangzhou, south of the Yangtze River.

A new force was quietly born.

It was born very absurdly, but it was actually logical.

The three parties have their own demands, but they do not conflict with each other, and they almost hit it off.

But at Wu Zheng's insistence, he had no intention of standing on his own, and was still dormant under the banner of Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu.

In Wu Zheng's view, from Hangzhou to Shaoxing Mansion, in a small place, the emergence of two forces will not only make the people at a loss, but also make others laugh, this side is the Qing court, and the Longwu Dynasty in the south.

Wu Zheng's decision was recognized by the squires led by Mo Zhinian, in fact, at the moment, they need Wu Zheng's signboard, and they need to rely on Wu Zheng's strong military strength.

Compared with the actual benefits, the false name is not so important.
