As soon as he arrived in Jiaxing Mansion, scouts came to report that Huang Binqing led thousands of warships to gather in the waters of Hangzhou Bay and sent people to ask for Zhang Mingzhen and other rebels and warships.

Wu Zheng immediately ordered a rapid march, and he changed horses and led the cavalry first.

went to Hangzhou Mansion, under the guidance of Mo Nian, I met Zhang Mingzhen, who had been admired for a long time.

Zhang Mingzhen, the word Marquis, Nanjing Jinyi Wei, Chongzhen, as a deputy general in Taizhou Shipu guerrilla, when Zhu Yihai was in charge of the country, led the troops to attach, and was awarded the title of General Fuping.

Looking at this famous anti-Qing general who has not yet become famous, Wu Zheng has a feeling of palpitations, maybe his arrival will make Zhang Mingzhen lose the opportunity to become famous.

"Humble position, see the town of the country."

"General Zhang doesn't have to be polite. Please get up and sit down. Wu Zheng stepped forward to support Zhang Mingzhen with his own hands and led him to the front of the seat, which made Zhang Mingzhen excited.

In front of him, but the most powerful prince of the imperial court, with his own strength, recovered the land of Jiufu, how can he not be excited about Zhang Mingzhen, who is upright and bold and ambitious?

"In front of the Zhenguo Gong of the Liberation of Tianfu, how can there be a seat for a lowly position?"

Wu Zheng laughed, "My father is just a fluke, and the recovery of Nanjing is also the reason why the soldiers work together, and General Zhang has an overreputation." Come, don't be formal, and tell me what happened in Zhoushan, and why did you suddenly lead the army to vote? ”

Zhang Mingzhen sat on the chair for half of his buttocks, "Back to my lord's words, three years ago, King Lu supervised the country, and Huang Binqing, the chief soldier of Zhoushan, was subordinate to Lu Jianguo, and was sent by the imperial court to go to Zhoushan to join the army. After that, Huang Binqing coveted the official title and privately attached himself to Longwu, Fujian, and originally the lowly post should have returned to our dynasty, but at that time, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Lord Zhang, secretly sent someone to pass the order, so that the lowly post continued to stay in Zhoushan, in order to come to Japan. ”

Wu Zheng was a little surprised, "You mean...... You continue to stay in Zhoushan, is it the deployment of Zhang Guowei and Zhang Gong? ”

"Exactly. The defeat of the Fujian Longwu Jiangxi Army, surrounded by the Qing army on both sides, the Longwu Dynasty ordered Huang Binqing to transfer water to the south for reinforcements several times, but Huang Binqing refused to use the excuse of pirate attack, the intention was nothing more than to protect his strength and sell at a price...... But the situation in our dynasty was turbulent, Zhang Gong sacrificed his life for the country, and for more than a year, he did not get any instructions, and he was angry in his heart, and secretly contacted his cronies, and when Huang Binqing led the army to the sea, he gathered more than 1,000 people and crossed the sea to join Lord Wu. ”

Wu Zheng asked: "Now that Huang Binqing has assembled sailors in Hangzhou Bay, what is your best strategy to break the enemy?" ”

Zhang Mingzhen said: "Although Huang Binqing has 10,000 people, most of his subordinates are devoted to the imperial court. In addition, Huang Binqing's command is not a monolith, and his subordinate general Huang Dazhen has been separated from him for a long time, as well as the former Pingxi general Wang Chaoxian, who has already been angry because of Huang Binqing's reckless words. The humble leader is willing to be the pioneer and break Huang Binqing for the adult. ”

Wu Zheng asked in surprise: "Why did the former Pingxi general Wang Chaoxian succumb to Huang Binqing's command?" ”

Zhang Mingzhen said: "When the Jingshi fell, the dynasty first led the troops to retreat south, but the king of Lu surrendered to Hangzhou to the Qing Dynasty, and the king of Lu supervised the country, and the dynasty first hoarded troops in Jiaoguan, and Huang Binqing used the troops in his hands to write several times to force him down. After the fall, the dynasty first led the second ship to cross the sea to Zhoushan, but Huang Binqing repented, he sent the standard generals Zhu Mei and Lu Wei to lead the army, saying that it was to welcome, but in fact it was robbed and killed, after the battle, the dynasty jumped into the sea first and survived. The lowly duty was sent to the ship at that time, and it happened to save him. Huang Binqing saw that the dynasty arrived first, and it was not easy to continue to harm him, so he accepted the official seal of the dynasty and reorganized his subordinates, but the dynasty was vacant and hung up the name of a deputy general. ”

"But according to what you said, the dynasty has been vacant by Huang Binqing for a long time, and there are no soldiers in his hands, how can he defect?"

"Wang Chaoxian did have no soldiers in his hands, but his subordinates who were reorganized by Huang Binqing are still there, and now Huang Binqing led the army to Hangzhou Bay, and there must not be many people left in the military camp, and the subordinates of the original Wang Dynasty have not been trusted by Huang Binqing, and they must have stayed in the station. Therefore, as long as the dynasty ascends to the heights first, it will respond to the multitude. ”

"It's doable. As long as Huang Binqing's lair is lost, even if he can't be forced to surrender, his sailors will definitely lose morale, so they can be easily defeated. Wu Zheng nodded in approval, "It's just that now who can go to Zhoushan and say that the dynasty will descend first?" ”

Zhang Mingzhen arched his hand and said: "I am willing to go to Zhoushan to say that the dynasty will come first." On that day, he saved Wang Chaoxian and gave him a lot of property, and he often said that one day he would repay his humble duty. ”

Wu Zheng was overjoyed and comforted: "General Zhang is really brave and strategic. In this way, it depends on General Zhang. ”

Zhang Mingzhen said: "Being able to serve the court and the adults is a blessing for the last general." ”

"Okay." Wu Zheng looked at Zhang Mingzhen and said, "General Zhang is straightforward, and that prince will not hide it from you." The situation in Fujian is critical, Longwu Dynasty Huang Daozhou sent an envoy to Tianfu, wanting to ask our dynasty to reinforce Fujian, my duke has promised to send troops, but the military situation is urgent, it is obvious that we can't catch up by land, and we can only take the sea route, so this duke has been transferred to the south of Tianfu Naval Division, and we can reach Hangzhou Bay tomorrow. Originally, I was going to fight to exterminate Huang Binqing, but now that you have a better way, then I will order the southbound sailor to stay in Wusongkou for half a day, waiting for your good news to come. But I can't give you much time, that is, tomorrow afternoon, if you can't say that the dynasty is moving first, then this prince will order a battle with Huang Binqing. ”

Zhang Mingzhen lowered his head and calculated, bowed his hand to Wu Zhengyi, and said firmly: "Zhenguo Gong rest assured, the time should be in time, and he will leave for Zhoushan to say that he will descend to the dynasty first." It's just that...... The dynasty first coveted official positions and positions, and did not know ...... adults? ”

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said: "Tell him that as long as he is loyal to our dynasty, after this battle, the general army of Zhoushan will be his." Presumably this should satisfy him, right? ”

Zhang Mingzhen was overjoyed, "As Zhenguo Gong said, the dynasty must descend first." ”

……。

After Zhang Mingzhen left, Wu Zheng went to the yamen of the original political secretary, and now it has become Wu Zheng's line, and the yamen of the financial secretary under the command of Mo Zhinian is located here.

Wu Zheng met with the envoy sent by Huang Binqing here.

This messenger is the one Zhang Mingzhen mentioned before, Huang Binqing's subordinate Zhu Mei.

"The last general will see the town of Guogong."

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, hearing that it was Wu Zheng in person, Zhu Mei did not dare to be arrogant, and bowed down.

Wu Zheng nodded with a cold face and said, "What does General Zhu mean here?" ”

"Lord Hui, the last general was ordered by the general of my family to come to Hangzhou to ask for the rebel general Zhang Mingzhen. I also hope that the town and the country will remember the love of a cloth with water, and be accommodating. ”

Wu Zheng asked: "Why do you say that Zhang Mingzhen is a rebel, and he surrendered?" ”
