For Wu Zheng, if he loses the battle, he goes back to Pinggang Mountain to fight guerrillas, and if he wins, it will be a million profits.

Wu Zheng didn't think about it at all, if he lost, would he die.

Because it's useless to think about it, death is a matter of moments, so fast that you don't even have time to react.

Fear is just a process of waiting for death, so since it is unpredictable, don't think about it, think about it in vain.

"Chen Shoujie, this official asks you, do you plan to hold this pile of copper and iron and keep fantasizing about bombarding Yangzhou Mansion, or use this pile of copper and iron to spell out an immortal name and embroider the future?"

Chen Shoujie was stunned for a moment, and then arched his hand and said: "My subordinates are ignorant, Master Xie mentions." ”

"You don't have to be so serious, this official knows that this pile of copper and iron embodies a lot of lives and your hard work for more than a year, but as long as it is used on the battlefield to kill Tartars, the meaning of its existence has been realized. You can rest assured, if you lose this time, this official will blow them all up, and never leave a single one for the Tartars. ”

Sixty-three pieces of artillery were transported back to Hangzhou by the sixty-seven gunners and the cavalry battalion transferred by Wu Zheng.

Because of the slow transportation, there was a lot of delay on the road, and when I returned to Yongchang Gate, it was already afternoon.

What made Wu Zheng's heart cold was that Fang Guoan had indeed retreated.

Chi Erhan angrily said: "This guy is really shameless. Do you know how many boats of looted property were loaded into Hangzhou Xicheng? ”

“……。”

"Twenty ships!"

Wu Zheng kicked Chi Erhan hard.

Chi Erhan jumped up and exclaimed in pain: "What are you doing when the adults kick me?" ”

"Are you greedy? Okay, you can go and loot too. ”

"How can I do that shameless thing!"

"It's good to know, so what's the noise?" Wu Zheng glared angrily.

Chi Erhan said secretly, the young master is really a righteous man and a gentleman, and he is jealous and hateful.

I didn't want Wu Zheng to scold in annoyance: "It's itchy in my heart, he's X!" ”

"Uh...... Young master, but he still wanted to take away the 10,000 troops in Dongcheng, but he was blocked by me and Xiao Anzi. ”

"Well, well done." Wu Zheng nodded with satisfaction, if these 10,000 people were taken away by Fang Guoan, then defending Hangzhou City would be empty talk.

6,000 people, want to defend the city of Hangzhou under the noses of 60,000 Tartars?

Wu Zheng admits that he doesn't have that ability.

"How's the heart of the soldiers who surrendered?" Wu Zheng is still concerned about this.

Chi Erhan said: "According to the young master's meaning, all the surrendered soldiers will retain their original positions, and the surrendered soldiers will have no objections." However, in my opinion, the young master should not promise them two taels of silver a month, right? ”

"Why?"

"First, there are 10,000 troops to surrender, two taels per person, and 20,000 taels in a month, and we can't afford it. Second, if even they were two taels a month, wouldn't the soldiers who followed the young master before be unhappy? ”

This is really reasonable, Wu Zheng nodded and said: "Go, tell them that each person has one tael a month, and if they want to be the same as the soldiers of the guard, they can fight with the Tartars in Hangzhou, and those who have made meritorious contributions in this battle can be officially incorporated into the guard." ”

Chi Erhan opened his mouth and said for a long time: "Young master, one tael per person, and ten thousand taels per month?" ”

Wu Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "Erhan, what do you say about the young master?" Drop the money eye to go, money this thing is not brought to life and death is not brought away, now in this world, it is better to hold it in your hand than to scatter it, if one day the Tartars go south, then I don't know who is cheaper? ”

Chi Erhan muttered: "But I've never seen such a loser." ”

Wu Zheng had good ears, and when he heard it, he said angrily: "You have a long ability, right?" Orchestrated the young master? ”

"Erhan doesn't dare." Chi Erhan was taken aback.

Wu Zheng softened his face and said: "Go, the whole city will recruit people to strengthen the city defense, especially the five gates of the east city and the north city, which must be heightened and reinforced." ”

Chi Erhan muttered, "What about the money? ”

Wu Zheng was furious: "In the huge city of Hangzhou, you can't find a few rich families who have taken refuge in the Tartars? ”

Chi Erhan was stunned for a moment, looked at Wu Zheng strangely, and said, "Young Master is saying...... Rob? ”

"Smack" a strong neck crutch.

"What nonsense, this is ...... Robbing? This is called putting things right, this is punishing rebellion, and this is rewarding good and evil...... Belch. Wu Zheng couldn't make it anymore, so he lowered his voice and said, "Don't tell the soldiers, it's what I mean." ”

Chi Erhan smiled excitedly: "I've been waiting for the young master to speak, okay, I'll arrange it." ”

Wu Zheng kicked him angrily and said, "Don't look too much at it, and don't hurt the innocent." If you really cause trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

"Gotcha!" Chi Erhan jumped and walked away.

Wu Zheng sighed softly and asked Li Ruhai, "Did the official say one thing and do another?" ”

Li Ruhai held back a smile, shook his head again and again, and said, "No, no." ”

Wu Zheng's face suddenly changed and said: "Since you know it, why don't you hurry up and arrange to strengthen the city defense?" ”

Li Ruhai was frightened by Wu Zheng's appearance of turning his face when he said it, and hurriedly rushed out of the door.

Wu Zheng twisted his face and walked in front of Qian Sudian, who was just twenty years old, this kid was only three years older than Qian Qiaogong, but his generation was a little longer, and he was actually Qian Qiaogong's uncle.

Looking at this face that was similar to Qian Sule, Wu Zheng felt a wave of respect in his heart.

This is the youngest of the "Four Loyalties of Qianmen".

"Money to try 100 households."

"The lower official is here."

"Quickly go to clean up the cavalry battalion, prepare enough ordnance, and travel only a hundred and ten miles, so you don't need to bring grain and grass. Tell the soldiers of the cavalry battalion that the officer will be able to take them back to the other side of the river. Even if they can't bring them back alive, they will definitely be able to bring their bodies back, so that they won't be brutalized in the wild. ”

Qian Sudian said excitedly: "My subordinates will never live up to the expectations of adults. ”

Wu Zheng scolded with annoyance in his heart, how can he have a tone with Qian Qiaogong, the Qian family is really this virtue.

Looking back, Wu Zheng said to Song An: "You stay in the city, and you will command the 10,000 troops in the city." ”

Song An pleaded: "Young Master, let Er Han stay this time, let me follow the Young Master." ”

Wu Zheng glared and said, "Are you better than Erhan's knife?" ”

"But Erhan can't shoot me with an arrow."

"Phew, is it useful to shoot arrows on your own? Can you charge like Erhan? ”

"If the young master wants me to rush, I'll rush."

"Alright, this ambush is different from the usual, the soldier needs a brave example, a leader, you are not suitable. Moreover, the situation in Hangzhou is complicated, and there must be many Tartar spies in the city, so you need to be more careful. There are also people in the city who are difficult to argue, especially Xicheng, which was made a mess by Fang Guoan, and the people there need to be appeased and guided even more. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Zhengzheng said: "I will hand over such a big burden to you, that is a trust in you, don't be so discouraged." You know, when I retreat, if Hangzhou City is no longer under your control, then your young master is really a dead end. ”
