Zhou Simin was talking to the maidservant Xiaoman, and he didn't want Uncle Zheng to run in a hurry.

"Uncle Zheng is in such a hurry, what happened?"

"Back to the son, the slave came back to get the silver knife of cutting ginseng."

"Oh, yes, I forgot to remind you, so let's bother Uncle Zheng to run again."

"Uh...... Childe, the sentry officer saw that Childe was also injured, and he didn't want to accept it, but after the slave persuaded him, the sentry officer should share half of the old ginseng with Childe, and the slave came back to get the silver knife. ”

Zhou Simin's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he said, "It's also a caring person." Go ahead. ”

"Ugh." Uncle Zheng replied softly.

……。

Early the next morning.

When Wu Zheng went out to get into the carriage, he saw Zhou Simin.

With the matter of ginseng, Wu Zheng nodded politely to Zhou Simin.

Zhou Simin also returned the salute.

Although there was no dialogue, the atmosphere was much more harmonious.

Zhou Simin's carriage did not follow far away, but followed Wu Zheng's carriage.

The two carriages, one after the other, continued south.

After a short time, it has passed Wujiang County and entered the boundary of Zhenze County.

And on this day, Wu Zheng repeated his old tricks.

Select people who are physically strong and mentally sound from the routs and deserters on both sides of the road.

It is allowed to be subsidized with two taels of silver per month.

At the end of the day, there were already fifty or sixty people behind Wu Zheng.

Although it was only half of the number of people at that time, as long as it did not encounter a large group of enemy troops, there should be no problem in self-preservation.

There is a reason why Wu Zheng does not recruit strong men, but only recruits defeated soldiers and deserters.

First, although Wu Zheng has the experience of leading troops as a physical master, he has no time to train strong men, and compared with strong men, these routs and deserters are regular soldiers after all, and it can be seen from their bright clothes that they simply don't send a shot, and they collapse because they are afraid of running away with the chief officer.

Therefore, in Wu Zheng's view, as long as you train well and give them confidence, you can still make a difference.

As for Wu Zheng's shameless and forcible requisition of rebellious soldiers, this time Zhou Simin did not make any more accusations, but there was contempt in his eyes, and Wu Zheng could still feel it.

However, Wu Zheng didn't care about Zhou Simin's contempt, and it didn't make any sense to deal with a wealthy son who grew up in a greenhouse.

Wu Zheng didn't even bother to explain.

……。

Next.

After walking for a long time, Xiao An stepped forward to report, and sixty miles ahead, he entered the boundary of Jiaxing Mansion in Zhejiang.

Wu Zheng must be sure in his heart that when he enters Zhejiang, it is equivalent to being close to home.

Zhou Simin also seemed very happy, after all, Jiaxing Mansion is closer to Hangzhou.

The group began to speed up, like arrows.

But after turning a corner on the official road.

The unexpected happened.

Wu Zheng immediately found out ahead, and the refugees who were originally heading south began to rush back.

"Xiao Anzi, go and see, what's going on?" Wu Zheng said loudly.

Xiao An grabbed someone from the refugees who ran back, and asked sharply, "What's wrong?" ”

The refugee shook his head at a loss for what to do, and said, "I don't know, I just follow when I see everyone running back." ”

Xiao An couldn't cry or laugh, let go of the man, and just kicked the man's ass to vent his anger.

Then he ran forward dozens of feet away, and then he saw a group of Ming army costumes rushing towards him.

He stepped forward and dragged the soldier to the front, and asked sharply, "What happened?" ”

The soldier took a few breaths and replied, "Brother, run, the Tartars are coming." ”

As he spoke, he broke free from Xiao An's hand and continued to flee backwards.

Wu Zheng saw this group of Ming troops running towards him from a distance, and then his color changed, and he ordered to Erhan: "Erhan, bring people to block them, and no one is allowed to run away." ”

Wu Zheng understood very well that this group of routs was like a wave, like a big wave eroding sand, taking away the dozens of people who had been gathered around him.

Panic and rout are contagious, one to two, two to ten, and ten to hundred.

When Erhan heard the order, he immediately kicked the soldiers around him, and drove them to assemble on the official road like a duck.

Fortunately, they are all Ming troops, and Wu Zheng's dozens of subordinates are not afraid of their compatriots.

After a while, a three-layer human wall was erected, blocking the influx of routs.

It's just that it was suddenly blocked, and the crowd was excited.

All kinds of swear words are full of it, and I can't bear to hear it.

Wu Zheng got out of the carriage, stood in the position of driving the carriage, and shouted: "The personal guard sentry officer under the command of the chief soldier of Jiading, which of you is the person in charge?" Step forward and answer. ”

A man with a full face and a strong physique came out and responded: "I've seen my lord, Chen Sheng, the chief banner under the command of the thousand households of the lowly Jinshan Guard, I don't know why the adult blocked the way for me and others?" ”

Wu Zheng asked, "What about your 100 or 1,000 households?" ”

The general flag replied angrily: "I ran away early, and I didn't see a shadow." ”

Wu Zheng was depressed in his heart, what is this called?

"Chen Sheng, why did you flee?"

"There's a tartar in the back." Chen Sheng replied, "My lord, you should run away quickly, if you don't escape, you won't be able to escape." ”

"How many are there?"

"I don't know, I just see a piece of black pressing."

Wu Zheng said angrily: "Even if your chief officer escapes, as the chief banner, how can you lead your men to escape without even knowing the number of enemies?" ”

Chen Sheng also said angrily: "Hundreds of households and thousands of households have fled, why should the adults criticize us and others?" Hurry up and get out of the way, or don't blame me for being disrespectful. ”

As he spoke, the two defeated soldiers heard that Chen Sheng dared to fight with Wu like this, and they were so bold that they drew their knives and pointed at the soldiers who were blocking the road.

Wu Zheng knew very well that in this situation, once the situation could not be suppressed, the two sides would have a fight.

When you fall, you don't need the enemy to attack, and you will fall.

So, he shouted: "Erhan, kill them." ”

Erhan waved his knife, the knife flashed twice, and the two heads rolled off.

While everyone was stunned, Wu Zheng shouted loudly, "Those who dare to escape, behead!" ”

Chen Sheng was furious and scolded Wu Zheng: "Straight to your ancestor, what do you want to do?" ”

Chen Sheng was really worried, and he also understood that this situation could not be rushed.

Once you fight, there is no reason to survive.

Wu Zheng looked at each other angrily and scolded: "As the general banner, you will be defeated before the battle, and according to the law, you will be killed." ”

Chen Sheng laughed angrily, "I said it all, there is the Tartar army in the back, and we can't beat it with few people." ”

"I didn't fight, how do you know you can't fight? Lao Tzu crawled out of the sea of blood in Jiading's corpse mountain and killed dozens of Tartars, and none of the soldiers under his command were as bad as you. Look at how big you look and how thick you are, you might as well be a woman...... Come, take off your military uniform, get under the crotch of the officer's pants, and the officer will let you escape. ”

Chen Sheng was so angry that he was stunned for a long time, and then he cried, "My lord, Da Ming is dead, what are you still holding onto?" ”

Wu Zheng said: "Even if the Ming Dynasty is dead, the Han people are still there, and the people behind them are still there." As soldiers, do you want Jiaxing Mansion to become another Jiading? Come...... Come, kill the official, and then step over the officer's corpse, or get through the crotch of the officer, and go home and pretend to be a woman's baby. ”
