Speaking of this, Zhang Huangyan turned his head to Liao Zhaoping and Zhao Shi and said: "Please ask Lord Liao and Lord Zhao to stay away for the time being, the lower officials still have something to talk to Wu Sentinel in private." ”

Liao Zhaoping and Zhao Shi arched their hands and said, "Lord Zhang, please do it." ”

After speaking, he retreated a few feet away.

Zhang Huang said solemnly: "Do you know what this official wants to tell you in private?" ”

"Please give me advice."

Glancing at the soldiers behind Wu Zheng, Zhang Huang said: "The situation is erosive, there are always righteous men who sacrifice their lives to serve the country, and there are always Xiaoxiao who take the opportunity to seize power, self-effacing military strength, and supporting troops with self-respect. Does Officer Wu think so? ”

Wu Zheng choked for a moment, what does this mean?

Indeed, in the autumn of troubled times, the promotion of martial artists is like riding a rocket, and after a year of fighting, as long as you don't die, it is common to be promoted to two or three levels.

But after all, martial artists have to work hard, and the so-called wealth is in danger.

In Wu Zheng's opinion, there is nothing wrong with it.

It is a bit too much to say that it is self-asserting military strength and supporting troops to be self-respecting.

Wu Zheng almost blurted out his thoughts, but the so-called blessing to the soul, at a critical time, Wu Zheng remembered what Zhao Shi said to him, and now the three forces in the court are facing each other.

After a stir, Wu Zhengsheng swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

"What Master Zhang said is that although the warriors fought bloody battles on the battlefield, they always did not read, read less, and lacked etiquette. I don't know how to restrain myself, and every time I commit a crime. ”

Zhang Huangyan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Officer Wu is a scholar, so he naturally understands the drawbacks. His Royal Highness the Supervisor asked the official to ask, you can choose to serve under the command of the Duke of Yue on the east bank of the Qiantang River, you can also serve under the command of the Dinghai Daming Naval Division Xingguo, and naturally you can also serve under the command of the Shaoxing Mansion. I don't know how Officer Wu chooses? ”

Wu Zheng's heart was in a mess, to be honest, Wu Zheng preferred to go to the east bank of the Qiantang River, although Dinghai is a sailor, in fact, there are only a few hundred broken ships, there are no decent warships at this time, if you don't counterattack, it is useless for heroes.

It's not bad to stay in Shaoxing Mansion, but it's just a watchdog.

Therefore, Wu Zheng hoped that after settling the 800 refugees behind him, he would go to the east bank of the Qiantang River to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

But if you think so, you can't answer like that.

Especially after Zhang Huangyan said that, Wu Zheng had already realized the complexity of the infighting in the imperial court.

Wu Zheng understands that this is not a simple choice question of where to go, but a choice to take sides.

Zhang Huangyan came on behalf of Lu Jianguo, so he naturally belonged to Lu Jianguo's faction.

If you respect Zhang Huangyan, you have to stand on the same side as Zhang Huangyan.

Wu Zheng knew the outcome of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's unification of the whole country, that is to say, whether it was the Duke of Yue or the Duke of Xingguo in Zhang Huangyan's mouth, they were all defeated.

Although he didn't know the final fate of these two princes, Wu Zheng knew that Lu Jianguo did not vote clear, Zhang Huangyan did not vote, and Qian Sule did not vote clearly, which was enough.

Wu Zheng's choice is not difficult.

"Before the last battle, the lowly uncle once said that he promised the country with his body, and this is the choice of the lowly position. Listen to Lu Jianguo and listen to Lord Zhang. ”

Zhang Huangyan glanced at Wu Zheng deeply, high-fived and said: "What a good one to promise the country, the great Ming Jiading General Army!" Sentinel Wu, you will go with this official to meet His Royal Highness the Prison State. ”

Wu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, this level was finally passed.

Turning around and telling Song An and Erhan, Wu Zheng and Zhang Huangyan left.

……。

"The lowly Wu Zheng has seen His Royal Highness the Prison State." Wu Zheng bowed and saluted.

Zhu Yihai didn't raise his eyelids, and responded indifferently: "No courtesy." ”

Fang Guoan paced forward, circled around Wu Zheng, looked up and down, and said, "What a young hero, really a talent." ”

Wu Zheng was stunned and asked, "Dare to ask ...... adults?" ”

Fang Guoan raised his head and laughed: "Have you heard of the name of Yue Guogong?" ”

Wu Zheng hurriedly bowed down again and said, "I have seen the Duke of Yue Guo. ”

"Good, good. From today onwards, you will follow my father, and my father will give you a general ...... Ah, no, Mr. Qian. ”

Wu Zheng was stunned, daring to be emotional, this is the total and the thousand always he decides with one word?

He always has more than 400 people under his command from the sixth grade, but the thousand total is the sixth product, as the name suggests, under the command of thousands of people.

Wu Zheng is indeed a little dazed, in the face of such a big leader, this leader still appreciates himself, how can he not be at a loss?

Zhu Yihai was a little unhappy in his heart, what did he do with this Huangyan?

Thinking about it, he looked at Zhang Huangyan, and Zhang Huangyan nodded without a trace.

Only then did Zhu Yihai settle down.

Fang Guoan looked at Wu Zheng's face, felt that this young man was a simple person, and laughed: "Wu Zheng, your soldiers are all under the command of Xingguo Gong." Lord Wang, let's talk about how you settle it, so that Officer Wu can settle down. ”

Wang Zhiren smiled and stepped out: "Wu Zheng, more than 100 soldiers under your command have been incorporated into the command of this duke, and all of them have been promoted to the next level. Even the 200 Ming army prisoners you brought can be reassigned to the military and appointed to their original positions. ”

"Thank you for your appreciation."

Fang Guoan laughed again, in his opinion, Wu Zheng is like a thing in his bag, is there a cat in this world that does not eat fishy?

Laughter, Fang Guoan cast a glance at Zhu Yihai directly above, his eyes were full of provocation and demonstration.

Wang Zhiren was much more modest, he just smiled and nodded to Zhu Yihai.

Wu Zheng is really tempted.

I have to be a six-grade thousand total, this is a three-level promotion? At the same time, his subordinates can be promoted to the next level, so they are worthy of the more than 100 soldiers who follow him.

Wu Zheng looked at Zhang Huangyan, which was unconscious, because Wu Zheng had a natural trust and dependence on Zhang Huangyan.

Anti-Qing heroes, historical celebrities.

But Wu Zheng was touched by Zhang Huangyan's cold eyes, and his heart was shocked.

So Wu Zheng's brain quickly cooled down, and after a little thought, he bowed to Fang Guoan and asked, "Dare to ask Yue Guogong, how will the hundreds of people brought by the humble position be settled?" ”

Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren were stunned when they heard this.

Eight hundred refugees, that's eight hundred mouths.

Let Wu Zheng be promoted to three levels in a row to be a thousand generals, and the salary of a year will only be dozens of taels.

can feed these 800 people, one person a year, four or five taels of expenses are always required, 800 people is 4,000 taels.

Whose money isn't blown by the wind, is it?

Fang Guoan was stunned for a long time, then glanced back at Zhu Yihai, and then said to Wu Zheng: "This ...... The imperial court will naturally settle it properly, so you don't have to worry. ”

Wu Zheng looked at Zhu Yihai.

Everyone looked at Zhu Yihai.

Zhu Yihai couldn't sit still, he scolded his mother in his heart, this year, all the 600,000 yuan of money and grain in Shufu County in eastern Zhejiang were intercepted by Fang and Wang with army salaries, and now the people have found themselves?

He was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, "Wu Zheng, I want to hear what you mean." ”

Deaf, seeing it, the ball was kicked back to Wu Zheng's feet.
