Turning his head, Wu Zheng said to the three hundred strong men he brought: "You are the same, in the hearts of this official, there is no distinction between intimacy and intimacy, everything is determined by the number of enemies killed." Not only eating meat, but also positions below the general flag, the same is true, those who have accumulated excellent military merits are promoted, and those who are inferior are dismissed. This official will never show favoritism. ”

Some bold and unscrupulous people asked loudly, "Is this true, my lord?" ”

Wu Zheng said: "This official has always been true to his word, and the more than 300 brothers under his command can testify for this official. As long as you can follow the official to kill the Tartars, the two taels per month will be paid, and the food will be treated equally. ”

There must be brave men under the so-called heavy reward, although this is not a heavy reward.

But for those who thought they were going to die, Wu Zheng's words gave them hope.

After surviving, there is hope for a better life.

People always live for hope, don't they?

Wu Zheng shouted: "Give you a pillar of incense time, eat this meat, and go to Shining Town with this official." ”

The crowd poured into the meat pot.

But Wu Zheng's eyes were a little moist, and he secretly said in his heart, brothers, do you know how many of you will die in this war?

……。

It is said that Ci is not in charge of the army.

A general who cannot incite soldiers to die cannot be called a good general.

It is the duty of the generals to let people die.

The difference between the incompetence of generals is whether it is worth it for soldiers to die.

Wu Zheng didn't think he was a good general.

Because he always can't bear to let these living people die one by one because of his own incitement.

Wu Zheng is like this, and so is Wu Zheng.

Bring the army to the town of Shining so that there will be fewer deaths.

But it comes at a cost.

The price is the town of Shining, which will become a battlefield.

For this reason, Wu Zheng would rather destroy Shining Town, and he would not even mind destroying Wuzhuang.

In Wu Zheng's view, people and places exist, and people and places die.

The town of Shining is the only way to Shaoxing.

In other words, if the Tartars want to enter Huiji, Shining Town is the only way to go.

Wu Zheng is too familiar with Shining Town, so familiar that he can close his eyes and search and walk the entire Shining Street.

Shining Street is an ancient street.

The floor of the street is made of stone slabs, which are deeply concave and convex due to the age of the broken stone slabs.

In the deepest depths, you can bury a foot.

Although I don't know if I can bury the horse's hooves, Wu Zheng is willing to try and dig deeper.

The width of the street is less than a zhang, and from the second floor of the shops on both sides of the street, open the windows, and the people on both sides reach out at the same time, so that they can hold each other's hands.

This is the terrain that Wu Zheng considers.

The terrain of mountains and rivers is not at all useful for the Tartar cavalry.

The Tartars attacked Shaoxing with 2,000 men, and they would never be fools who came.

Definitely avoid the water and walk around the mountains.

Then, in Wu Zheng's view, the real topographical advantage is the town.

Especially Shining Street.

If you can bury the Tartar on Shining Street, even if you lose the entire street, it will be worth it.

But Wu Zheng obviously didn't expect that this resistance would be so great.

Wu Zheng grew up in the town of Shining.

They all say that they are close or not, and they are from their hometown.

For the Chinese people, the most difficult thing to give up is their homeland.

When he heard that Wu Zheng was going to move and expel the people, the entire town of Shining boiled.

Countless elders pointed at Wu Zheng and scolded.

These people, in Wu Zheng's mind, all have deep or shallow memories.

Countless residents threw rotten vegetables and rotten eggs at Wu Zheng.

The disgusting smell like ammonia on my body and face, the taste is indescribable.

Wu Zheng stood calmly, letting the people vent.

All the soldiers were ordered to stand back.

Wu Zheng knew that this was what he owed to his hometown fathers.

The dirt around me has accumulated over my knees.

The ruthless person even picked up a stone and threw it.

Wu Zheng's forehead was already bleeding.

With a cry of grief, a figure pounced on Wu Zheng like a bird throwing into the forest.

used her delicate body to cover Wu Zheng.

Wu Xiaomei got up, she saw this scene, her eyes widened in anger and scolded: "Are you blind? See who my brother is? The imperial court is six products and one hundred households. He destroyed Shining Street in order to kill the Tartars, not to occupy your shops. ”

Pointing to those gray-haired old men, Wu Xiaomei was also merciless, "They are all a lot older, have they lived to dogs for decades?" Haven't you heard of what the Tartars did in Yangzhou and Jiading? My brother escaped death from Jiading Mansion, is it just to stand here and let you beat and humiliate? You guys...... You don't have a conscience...... Woo! ”

Wu Xiaomei burst into tears.

Gradually, the scene stabilized.

"Folks, listen to Wu's words." A thick, old voice rang out.

Master Wu is here.

"Although the ancestral home of the Wu family is not in Shangyu, it has been in Shining Town for a hundred years. I, Wu, am a person, and you fellow villagers must have heard of it. The so-called knowing son is not as good as the father, the dog has no form, Wu knows it, destroying Shining Street and driving away the villagers, this thing is really inappropriate. But Wu thinks that there are no eggs under the nest? The Tartars are coming, your life and death are difficult to know, do you want to be an enemy if you leave this family business? ”

Master Wu trembled his beard and shouted, "There is nothing wrong with the dog!" Better die standing than live kneeling! Please witness that if Shining Street is destroyed and Wu Zhuang is saved, Wu will raise a fire in public and burn Wu Zhuang. ”

The voice is hoarse, but the force is sonorous.

Master Wu's prestige in Shining Town for decades was undoubtedly revealed at this time.

The shouts of the people died down, and they turned silently.

As a result, the crowd gradually receded.

Countless people went home wordlessly to pack up their already shabby packs.

Countless women wept secretly.

Countless children screamed and cried.

Wu Zheng was full of tears and bowed to Master Wu and fell to the ground, "Dad, it's the child who is not filial, and you are embarrassed in front of the villagers." ”

Master Wu shouted with teary eyes: "Get up! Stand up straight! Remember the promise that Dad made to the villagers just now, if you are defeated, Dad is dead, Wu Zhuang ...... It's up to you to burn it! ”

Then he slowed down and said, "Zheng'er, don't worry too much, Dad is with you." ”

Wu Zheng hurriedly said: "No, my father can't stay in Wuzhuang, you and your sister will evacuate to Shaoxing Mansion together." ”

Master Wu shook his head and said, "Let your little sister go." Dad has lived so old, seeing his only son fighting for the country, and running for his life, how can Dad be at ease? ”

Wu Xiaomei cried: "If my father and brother don't leave, I will never leave, so we are a family, life and death are together." ”

Daddy Wu said sharply: "Do you want to disobey your father?" You have to go! Now go back to Wuzhuang to pack up your things and go to Shaoxing overnight. ”

Wu Zheng dragged Wu Xiaomei, who was about to speak, "Sister, listen to my father's words, the sword has no eyes, you are a girl's house, you must not stay here, once the war starts, my brother will not be able to protect you." Also, take Xiaoman and go to Shaoxing Mansion to cast ...... Princess Changping, with the previous incense love, she ...... I think she'll take care of you. ”

But Wu Xiaomei should not live or die.
