Chapter Forty-Nine: It's Him
When I opened it, I saw that Rao was mentally prepared for Wu Zheng.
But when I saw the name of the letter, I couldn't help but gasp.
Sure enough, it was him.
Wu Zheng suddenly understood why the Southern Ming Dynasty was so vulnerable, whether it was the Hongguang Dynasty or the Lu Dynasty.
The Hongguang Dynasty was known as a million-strong army, and it took only 14 months from Zhu Yousong's accession to the throne to the surrender of the Manchus.
For Zhu Yousong, there are nursery rhymes among the people, "There are Chinese books everywhere, all the governors walk all over the streets, the supervisors are as many as sheep, and the staff is as cheap as a dog." Shade the dust of a thousand years, and pull the tribute to the head. Sweep away the money in the south of the Yangtze River and fill in Majiakou. ”
And King Lu supervised the country, but it only lasted sixteen or seventeen months in history.
Compared with Zhu Yousong, Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, is much more honest and wise.
But why repeat the same mistakes?
The root of the problem turned out to be here - Fang Guoan.
Fang Guoan, Yue Guogong and Zhennan General, led 30,000 people to garrison the east bank of the Qiantang River.
Once he surrendered to the enemy, the entire river defense collapsed in an instant.
Wu Zheng's heart was suspended in mid-air as if it was being carried by a silk thread.
Needless to say, Shaoxing Mansion, even the counties further south, were overturned overnight.
Standing up with a "pout", Wu Zheng shouted: "Fang Guoan is just a prince, and King Lu is still in charge of the country." endangering the country, the official does not believe that King Lu will ignore it and let it go. Xiao Anzi, prepare a horse for me, I will go to Shaoxing Mansion overnight to report it. You go with me as a witness. ”
Li Ruhai shook his head and said, "My lord, listen to the advice of the humble position, this matter is ...... Let's just do it. Fang Guogong has an army of 30,000 in his hands, and the number of soldiers accounts for half of the army under Lu Jianguo, even if Lu Jianguo dares to punish him, if he forces Fang Guogong to rebel because of this, then ...... Forget it, my lord. ”
Wu Zheng's hands trembled with anger, but he knew that Li Ruhai was reasonable.
In troubled times, there is no reason to talk about, whoever has a hard fist has the final say.
If you go to the first place yourself, I am afraid that you will suffer an unjustified disaster.
But Wu Zheng's heart is aching, Lu Jian is dead, what should the people of the eight counties under the command of Shaoxing Mansion do?
What about my dad and sister?
What should I do with the more than 300 soldiers under my command?
What about the 800 people who have just had a home and hope?
Wu Zheng's hairs stood on end one by one.
"Let's go." Wu Zheng said firmly, "Follow me to Shaoxing Mansion." If the world is really hopeless, you and I will die sooner or later, just a few days early. ”
Li Ruhai looked at Wu Zheng in a daze, and suddenly turned around and said: "Just by the words of the adult, I am willing to go with the adult." Your Excellency is right, it's nothing more than death. ”
"No, I can't. Brother can't go. After Wu Xiaomei sent her father, she just came back to find Wu Zheng to have something to say, and she didn't want to hear these words.
Wu Zheng frowned and said: "You are a girl's house, what kind of fun." As soon as you leave, Dad won't die in a hurry? Besides, this trip is unpredictable, how can I let you go with you? ”
Wu Xiaomei said stubbornly: "Because of this, I want to go with my brother, with me dragging me down, my brother won't want to think about the consequences." ”
As she spoke, Wu Xiaomei's eyes turned red, and two crystal tears dripped down.
Wu Zheng felt a pain in his heart, "Sister, listen to my brother, stay in the village and serve my father, in case ...... I mean, in case, you have to honor your father for your brother, huh? ”
Wu Xiaomei sobbed loudly, "Brother, I haven't been back for three years, and I've only been back for two days, so you can't bear to ignore my father and me?" ”
Wu Zheng's nose rose with a thick sourness, and he secretly said in his heart, sister, do you know that my brother has already died, and he died at the moment of the last battle in Jiading City.
Gritting his teeth hard, Wu Zheng said sharply: "Erhan, look at Miss, before I come back, I must not let her leave Wuzhuang for half a step." ”
Erhan grabbed Wu Xiaomei's arm, but said in his mouth: "Young master, it's okay to leave this matter to Xiao An, I'd better go to Shaoxing Mansion with me, right?" ”
Xiao An prepared the carriage and came in, just when he heard Er Han talking about him behind his back, he said angrily: "Er Han, what are you talking about, we are born to be the Wu family, and we are dead to be the ghosts of the Wu family, where the young master is, I will be there." You listen to the young master, and the young lady is optimistic. ”
Erhan looked at Wu Zheng with a blank look, his eyes full of expectation.
But Wu Zheng didn't even look at him, and went out with Li Ruhai.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the gate of the village, they were stopped by Chen Sheng.
Chen Sheng asked strangely, "It's so late, where are you going?" ”
Wu Zheng said: "There are spies in the court, and this official wants to go to Shaoxing Mansion to report to Lu Jianguo." ”
Chen Sheng exclaimed: "Who? ”
Wu Zheng hesitated, "Come close." ”
When Chen Sheng got closer, Wu Zheng said: "Fang Guo'an Fang Guogong." ”
Chen Sheng was stunned, "My lord, this is absolutely impossible, this is a fire to burn yourself!" ”
Wu Zheng said: "The official knows, but someone really has to go." ”
Chen Sheng hurriedly said: "Even if the adults go, what can they do?" Fang Guogong has an army of 30,000, even Lu Jianguo can't help him for half a point. My lord, this is in ...... Bring about one's own destruction. ”
Wu Zheng shouted angrily: "Fart." If I turn a blind eye and let this fang sell my land for glory, then I will be asking for my own death. You are also the death of leading soldiers, don't you understand the truth that under the nest, there is no end to the eggs? Hugh is going to be verbose, get out of the way! ”
Chen Sheng saw that Wu Zheng had made up his mind, so he no longer persuaded him, but begged: "In this case, my subordinates implore my lord to take me with me, and bring the soldiers with me." ”
Wu Zheng frowned and said, "I'm not going to rebel, what are I going to do with so many people?" If you are falsely accused for this, will you not be wronged? ”
Chen Sheng still had to be persuaded again, and Wu Zheng said stubbornly: "Hello, you are here to appease the soldiers, with Lu Jianguo here, I will be fine." Remember, if something really happens to me, I must keep my father and my sister safe, as well as Zhou ...... Son. ”
Chen Sheng said with tears in his eyes: "My subordinates have written it down, take care." ”
……。
Huang Degong watched Wu Zheng accept the Jade Buddha without the slightest objection, and he was relieved.
After leaving the restaurant, Huang Degong thought about it and felt that it was better to do it.
Immediately returned to the county government and got into a carriage and rushed to Shaoxing Mansion with a few guards.
The loss of faith must not be hidden.
If Wu Zheng's requirements cannot be met, he will definitely make a statement.
At that time, I am afraid that I will be a dead end.
On the contrary, in response to Wu Zheng's request, it can not only resolve the leakage of secret letters, but also add a right-hand man.
But Wu Zheng's request is not something he can do with a county order, and it must be done through Fang Guoan.
Originally, Huang Degong was afraid, but now, having found a solution, Huang Degong thought that even if Fang Guogong scolded a few words, he could deal with it.
Along the way, Huang Degong hurried and hurried.
He believes that if this matter can be solved sooner, he will be able to sleep soundly a day earlier.
Wu Zheng decided to denounce it, and when Li Ruhai and Xiao An left Wuzhuang and set off, Huang Degong had just arrived at Fang Guoan's Guogong Mansion in Shaoxing Prefecture.
