vs 11 The Dilemma of Loyalty (Chapter 11)

"Wu Qingjia, this ...... That's great! ”

As soon as he heard the news, Wu Shengzhao's mind was also shocked. Regardless of whether this information is reliable or not, if the "Shengwu Army" now goes to the "Suzhou Defense Line" to fight, it has become very inappropriate. If the main force of the Qing army's chariots coming from Kunshan, and the direction of the "Suzhou Defense Line" is a feint, then the direction of the "Shengwu Army" will be very particular.

Now that he heard Lu Jianguo and Zhu Yihai ask, he couldn't immediately recruit his scouts to ask. In desperation, I am afraid that I will answer it according to my guess.

"If you go back to the emperor, according to Weichen's estimate, it is more likely that the main force of the Qing army is still at the 'Suzhou Defense Line', because although the Boluo Department wants to demote the general Zheng Zhilong to conduct a naval army for him, his warships are limited. Therefore, the minister deduced that the enemy troops in the direction of Kunshan were the enemy's suspicious tactics, and wanted to make our army panic and not know how to deal with it, and the enemy's main force took this opportunity to break through the 'Suzhou defense line', and the possibility of directly hitting Suzhou was greater. And the enemy on the flank is running for a long time, and it should be difficult to break the city without cannons and other things, so the minister thinks ......"

Who knew that before his words were finished, the military department Shangshu had already interrupted his words and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that no matter what the situation, it is the best policy to refuse to defend the capital of Suzhou. ”

"Fart, stinky fart!" Wu Shengzhao scolded angrily in his heart. Chariots are used to gallop across the plains, and being locked up in the city is something!

scolded angrily in his heart, but he couldn't say it like this in his mouth, he had to be polite and reasonable.

"Your Majesty, if you ignore the 'Suzhou Defense Line', the enemy army will definitely be able to break it, and then our army will be attacked by the enemy, and the situation is really worrying!"

The military department Shangshu further pressed and said: "Your Majesty, as we all know, Wu Hou's brother General Shengtai is sitting in the 'Suzhou Defense Line' to resist the enemy, Wu Hou wants to save there first, I am afraid that he is taking care of his brother and messing up, and what Yu Chen sees is not as good as the enemy who retreats first is stable!" ”

Wu Shengzhao didn't know that this old man actually talked about this matter, and he only felt that he was going to die of injustice in his heart, and he couldn't help shouting angrily: "Your Majesty ...... the emperor"

Lu Jianguo and Zhu Yihai only felt that what they said made some sense, and their eyes had to glance at Zhang Mingzhen, who was quite a Confucian general.

Zhang Mingzhen knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that there is some truth in what both Lord Shangshu and Wu Houye said. If the enemy from the direction of Kunshan is true, it is too close to the capital, and it is in great danger. Therefore, in front of Wu Hou's commanders, the troops were defeated first, and after the enemy came from the direction of Kunshan, he sent troops to the 'Suzhou Defense Line'. In addition, no matter what the situation is, the 'Shengwu Army' should not be stationed in the city of Suzhou. The 'victorious army' relied on the advantages of chariots and cavalry, and if it entered the city, it would be to promote its shortcomings. Therefore, the old minister is willing to ask the emperor to live in the city freely, and the battle outside the city is all for the 'victorious army', and the emperor is invited to decide. ”

Lu Jianguo and Zhu Yihai understood what Zhang Mingzhen meant. As the big man of the DPRK and China in the "Shengwu Army" department, he definitely disagreed with the words of the military department. However, he was deeply afraid of being hindered by others, and continued to make noise in the court, so he proposed this compromise plan, which was really difficult for him. Moreover, when he heard that the enemy army might come from the sea, he naturally did not have siege equipment such as artillery, so he was not afraid to hide in Suzhou City.

"Hmm" Lu Jianguo Zhu Yihai nodded and said: "This is very good, according to what Zhang Hou sees, others don't need to say more." Shengwu Hou Wu Shengzhao listened to the order, I led the whole army of the 'Shengwu Army' to immediately repel the enemy in the direction of Kunshan, and the camera rescued the defenders at the 'Suzhou Defense Line', as for the 10,000 soldiers, you still bring yourself into battle to kill the enemy, there is enough city defense army of Lord Shangshu here! Chin this. ”

"Yes!" Although Wu Shengzhao was unwilling in his heart, he couldn't disobey the order, but he was afraid of kneeling down and kowtowing to receive the order, so it was not until about four o'clock in the morning that the sky was already shining with morning light, and he made up his mind. Only then did Wu Shengzhao have the right to transfer troops to resist the enemy, which also showed one of the drawbacks of a layman commanding an insider.

"Zhang Hou, don't you want my brother to wait for death on the 'Suzhou Defense Line'?" As soon as Wu Shengzhao went out of the court, he immediately complained about Zhang Mingzhen, who was the same as him.

"Wu Hou, if this matter continues to fight with them above the court, it will only delay time, if we come out and discuss it ourselves, anyway, the right to transfer troops on the battlefield has been obtained at this moment, how to do it but not Wu Hou you!"

The artillery fire at the "defense line" caused the hundreds of officials in the court to quarrel endlessly, and the military intelligence bureau of the Shenzhou Army in Suzhou City had already begun to evacuate the last group of people.

In Suzhou City, in Bian Yujing's annex, Kou Baimen, who had already packed their bags, and the maid Kou'er finally waited for Chen Rong, who had been waiting for them all night and was going to send them to Shenzhou City.

"Miss Kou!" Chen Rong, who entered the door, saluted Kou Baimen and said, "Originally, I planned to invite the young lady to Shenzhou City, but now the situation has changed, I am afraid that this trip will have to be abandoned!" ”

Kou Baimen has asked countless people, and it is rare to find such a stable person. Although the rumbling cannons in the north of Suzhou rang out almost all night, and he was a person from Shenzhou City, he was the mortal enemy of the Qing soldiers, and the expression on his face was no different at all.

"Sir, don't mind, Kou Mei knows." Kou Baimen blessed a blessing and returned the courtesy.

Chen Rong arched his hand again and said: "Miss Kou, I dare to ask Miss to go boating with me on the shore of Taihu Lake, I don't know ...... Miss."

Kou Baimen had some doubts in his heart, and now that he didn't leave, he would leave Bian Yujing here alone to be frightened, and he was a little reluctant to go. Therefore, after listening to Chen Rong's suggestion, he did not answer, but looked at Bian Yujing on the side.

Bian Yujing hurriedly said: "My sister doesn't have to worry about my sister, Bian Sai received the great favor of Mr. Zheng, and now I can't leave at will in an eventful autumn, and I also asked my sister to go boating with this gentleman on Taihu Lake, and when the situation is stable in the future, my sister is still here to wait for my sister." ”

Kou Baimen saw that Bian Yujing was very attentive, and he couldn't say anything more, so he had to salute Bian Yujing and said, "Kou Mei also asks my sister to take care of her health." ”

At this point, Kou Baimen and the maid Dou'er said goodbye to Bian Yujing and went to Taihu Lake, where the Shenzhou Army set up a base on the island to escape the war, thinking that they could meet Bian Yujing again soon, but who knows .......

The main reason why Chen Rong changed the plaintiff's plan to send Kou Baimen to Shenzhou City was that he received information that Zheng Zhilong had already led nearly 100 warships to sail and swooped straight behind Suzhou. Therefore, the big ship that came to pick up the citizens of Shenzhou City in the south of the Yangtze River was not allowed to leave early. The remaining citizens who have not yet been evacuated will be evacuated to the island in the middle of Taihu Lake along with Kou Baimen.

This is also the consistent purpose of Shenzhou City, never let any of his friends suffer any harm. In the south of the Yangtze River, whether it is doing business or going here on business, there is a detailed registration, so all the personnel in Shenzhou City here in Suzhou have been safely evacuated to the island in the center of Taihu Lake.
