Wu Zheng was worried that Jiang Quanyi would be depressed by this, this battle was too cruel, Jiang Quanyi's army had 6 or 7,000 people (including 4 or 5,000 Taizhou recruits), and only a dozen or so people were exchanged at this time.

was surrounded and annihilated by ten times the enemy, and in the entire Northern Expeditionary Army's participation in the battle, only its troops suffered the heaviest casualties.

In addition, Jiang Quanyi fought until he was captured in the end, and it is reasonable to see through life and death and be depressed.

However, at this time, Jiang Quanyi's angry voice dispelled the worry in Wu Zheng's heart, the veteran will not die!

Wu Zhengqiang held back the tears that were about to fall, and scolded with a smile: "I'm really worried that you will be wasted!" ”

Jiang Quanyi held back his tears, but when he finally fell, he still smiled: "Isn't the general worried about the end of the general's surrender to the enemy?" ”

Wu Zheng stepped forward and hugged Jiang Quanyi, choked up: "If you fall, then the world will really be hopeless." ”

Jiang Quanyi broke free from Wu Zheng's embrace, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Report to the general, the last general's headquarters is 6,783 people, in this battle, no one retreated, and no one surrendered to the enemy...... Please allow my department to be rebuilt! ”

Wu Zheng solemnly said, "Agree with your ministry to be rebuilt." ”

When Wu Zheng stretched out his hands to support him, Jiang Quanyi finally howled, "Lord Wang...... Rajah...... All dead...... I'm ashamed of the king...... Shameless to face the elders of Taizhou...... Just an hour...... An hour...... Whining. ”

"Crying for what?!" Wu Zheng shouted, "Give you two choices, either accept the title of Jingjiang Bo, and then go home to buy a hundred acres of land, and beg a mother-in-law to live in peace from now on, or fight back!" ”

Jiang Quanyi wiped away his tears, got up and stood straight with his head held high, "The last general implores the general to reorganize Jingjiangwei!" ”

"Yes!"

……。

Huang Daozhou resigned as the first assistant, but still served as a scholar of Wenhua University.

Qian Sule entered the cabinet and took over as the first assistant.

Don't be obsessed with taking over as the head of the household.

Ma Shiying went to Ying Tianfu to take office.

At the age of nineteen, Xia Wanchun was officially promoted by the Taiping Marquis Jin Wei Guogong.

Liao Zhongping, Marquis of Jinning.

The war, which lasted more than 20 days, was short but extremely intense.

The Yixing Dynasty, along with Wu Zheng's Northern Expeditionary Army, suffered heavy casualties.

To say that all exhaustion is light, to be precise, paralysis!

But the Qing army did not take advantage of anything, and the losses of the two sides were not related, but the two guards of Jinshan and Hangzhou respectively controlled Taizhou, Tongzhou and other state capitals, and the miscellaneous army led by Wu Zheng even occupied Yangzhou Mansion - Jiangdu.

This is equivalent to half of Yangzhou Mansion, which has been recovered.

However, the Nikan tribe could only obediently retreat from the southwest of Dasheng Pass and cross the river to return to Jiangpu.

Therefore, in the propaganda of the Yixing Dynasty, the Ming army won a big victory!

Recovering the lost territory of the homeland is naturally a big victory!

Even if it is difficult for the imperial court to send troops to set foot in the land of Jiangbei, after all, half of Yangzhou Mansion is already the land of the Han people, and the sun and moon flag of the Northern Expeditionary Army is fluttering on it.

Half of Yangzhou is not large, but it is of great strategic significance.

The natural danger of the Yangtze River has been avoided, and the Northern Expedition no longer needs to use Jingjiang as a springboard.

At the same time, the entire surface of the Yangtze River near the mouth of the sea was completely under the control of the Northern Expeditionary Army, that is, the north-south trade through the Grand Canal was henceforth under the control of Wu Zheng, and was no longer constrained by the Qing court.

The signing of the treaty between the two sides gave both sides, including the General's Mansion, a chance to recuperate.

Everyone understands that this is just a compromise, but everyone cherishes this rare and short time of "peace".

Let yourself breathe hard, and then, throw a punch that lives up to yourself and the world.

The eighth guard of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Taizhou Wei, was born, with a strength of 10,000 people (this is stipulated in the treaty between the two sides), but the reserve force was as high as 6,000 people, and the soldiers were each selected from Hangzhou, Jinshan, and Jingjiang as the backbone of 300 veterans, and 6,000 people were selected from the prisoners of war to fill the reserve on the basis of the Liangjiazi around the new Jiangdu and Taizhou.

The Taizhou Garrison Zone is from Jiangdu to Taizhou and Rugao, Chen Sheng was transferred to the command envoy, and Huang Dachun was the deputy commander.

The Zhoushan Shui Division of the first dynasty returned to the building, and the entire river area was defended by Zhang Mingzhen and Wu Songshui Division.

Hangzhou, Jinshan, Lihai three guards were built.

Jiang Quanyi officially took up the post of commander of Jingjiangwei.

……。

Zhu Cihong died.

Died the night before Wu Zheng was about to leave Ying Tianfu.

When he heard that Huang Daozhou came to report, Wu Zheng, who was arranging to leave Beijing, was stunned.

Wu Zheng immediately summoned Mo Zhinian and Ma Shiying in the study.

"King Danyang is dead, what did you do?" Wu Zheng's face was gloomy, but his tone was calm.

Mo Obsession, Ma Shiying knelt down when he heard the sound.

Mo Zhi Zhi swore to the sky: "If the old man is even slightly involved in this matter, let the prince deal with it." ”

Wu Zheng slowly turned to Ma Shiying, "That's you?!" ”

Ma Shiying smiled bitterly: "Ma Mou thinks about it, but Mo Laorong came to the restaurant to speak, how could Ma not hear the warning of the prince...... How dare you? ”

Wu Zheng stared at Ma Shiying for a long time, "Really? ”

Ma Shiying still smiled bitterly: "It's all happened...... If Ma did it, why don't you dare to admit it? Besides, without Mo Lao's help, Ma has no soldiers and no pawns in his hands, how can he have the ability to assassinate in the palace? The prince thinks too highly of Ma. ”

Wu Zheng raised his head and exhaled a long breath, "I believe it!" You two will follow me into the palace. ”

……。

Zhu Yujiao knelt in front of Zhu Cihong's body, crying like a cuckoo crying blood.

Dozens of important ministers and clans of the imperial court bowed their heads and stood solemnly on both sides.

After Wu Zheng saluted Zhu Cihong's body, he turned to Zhu Yujiao, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the cause of King Danyang's death?" ”

Zhu Yu cried: "My brother is in the dormitory...... Cantilever. ”

Wu Zheng turned around and slowly walked to Zhu Cihong's body behind the curtain.

Zhu Cihong has been buried, his face is calm, and there seems to be a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Wu Zheng glanced at Ma Shiying, and Ma Shiying stepped forward to check.

After a while, Ma Shiying raised his head and nodded slightly to Wu Zheng.

Looking at Zhu Cihong's remains, Wu Zheng felt a sense of confusion in a dream.

This long-suffering former Ming prince appeared suddenly, and his walk was slightly abrupt.

Committing suicide and martyrdom has become a curse for his family's lineage.

Wu Zheng actually didn't hate Zhu Cihong in his heart, and some sympathy surged at this time, even if Zhu Cihong kept targeting him, and even sent the forbidden army to hunt him down. If it weren't for the sharp opposition of interests between the two, Wu Zheng thought that maybe the two could become friends, friends who could talk to each other.

Zhu Cihong is indeed doing things, and this cannot be erased, just like Emperor Chongzhen.

Character flaws cannot be used as an excuse to discredit merit.

It is a pity that during his three years of reign, Zhu Cihong still continued his father's method, wanting to inspire his subjects to follow, emulate and support him with his own frugality and diligence.

He still used his father's method to awaken the loyalty of the royal family, the nobles, and the officials in a passionate way.

He still uses the way of the emperor that his father taught and understands himself. However, this thousand-year-old imperial way could not give him an effective strategy to deal with the crisis of the country's ruin.
