Chapter 115: Wuchang City is in hand

"Is that really going to be the case?" Zuo Mengeng looked at Wuchang City, and then asked Huang Shu.

In just a few days, Zuo Mengeng seems to have changed as a person.

How much weight has been lost is secondary, but the change in Zuo Menggeng's temperament is the main one.

Zuo Mengeng used to have an arrogant and domineering temperament even if he stood still, but now the whole person has precipitated. It looks a little more stable.

Sure enough, suffering is the best catalyst.

Zuo Mengeng died well in Zuo Liangyu, and immediately tasted what the world is hot and cold, and what is called the warmth and coldness of human feelings.

The Zuo family, which was one of the three giants of Wuchang before, was actually excluded when retreating, so you can know the taste.

Huang Shu sighed and said, "It's not that I want to do this, but we have to take this step, and the imperial court can't tolerate the Zuo family anymore." The Liukou side can't accommodate the young general, and the only one who can tolerate it is the Qing Dynasty. ”

Zuo Liangyu was arrogant and domineering at the beginning, and offended too many people, not to mention anything else, He Tengjiao and Ma Shiying did not have a little complaint about Zuo Liangyu, but they had to deal with it well because of the form. But Zuo Liangyu was defeated, Zuo Liangyu himself died of illness, how could the remaining Zuo family forces make the two of them look at each other.

Even without the two of them commanding, the people below would deal with Zuo Mengeng.

And Cao Ying, breaking into the camp, is the force that Zuo Liangyu has been fighting with for many years, and the hatred between them is as deep as the sea. If Zuo Liangyu is here, he will throw himself over, Zuo Liangyu has a way to protect himself, but Zuo Mengeng is afraid that he will be killed by someone, and he doesn't know how he died.

There was only the Qing court.

It is also ironic to say that Zuo Liangyu's initial development was appreciated by Hou Sui in the war against the Qing court, but now he wants to surrender.

And Huang Shu has also thought carefully about his future.

On the side of the imperial court, he has been tied to Zuo Liangyu, and many people know that he is Zuo Liangyu's mastermind. However, he may not be able to wash this label clean, but he is not optimistic about the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty. There is no other reason, Hongguang succeeded to the throne for less than a year, and he was taken down, which is enough to prove it.

Zuo Liangyu has a grudge against Cao Chuang, does Huang Shu have no enmity with Cao Chuang?

Huang Shu can still remember the tragic battle of Kaifeng now, and the people in Kaifeng City who have been swept away by the flood can still be remembered when he closes his eyes. Among them is Huang Shu's beloved concubine.

In Zhang Xuan's eyes, the flooding of Kaifeng is a manifestation of the inhumanity of the officials and soldiers, but in the eyes of Huang Shu, it is the crime of the rogue, so he is definitely unwilling to join the rogue.

Counting back and forth, only the Qing court could take refuge.

"But can we really be treated favorably in the past?" Zuo Mengeng said.

"Major General rest assured.

Huang Shu said: "The name of General Zuo is still useful, and now the Qing court is recruiting talents, as long as we go over, there is no problem, there is no problem in fighting for a world position for the young general." ”

The strategy of the Qing army, Huang Shu savored it.

The strategy of the Qing army that has just entered the customs can be summed up in eight words: "Storm the camp and recruit Ming ministers." ”

Holding high the banner of avenging Chongzhen, he bit Li Zicheng and attacked fiercely.

A large number of Ming ministers defected to the Qing court. And no matter what the Qing court's character and ability are, all those who come to take refuge will be treated in a high position, at least one level.

However, Huang Shu also understands that this time will not be too long, and the reason is very simple, even if the Qing court wants to continue, he does not have so many vacant seats. At this moment, with Zuo Mengeng in the past, with Zuo Liangyu's reputation, he will definitely be treated favorably.

He also knows that Zuo Menggeng's ability will be just an idle eater in the future.

But Huang Shu still has a meeting gift in his heart. It's a great gift.

Zuo Mengeng listened to Huang Shu's words, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said, "Then it's all counting on Mr. Huang." ”

Immediately, under the escort of Ma Shixiu, thousands of people got on the boat and crossed the river to the north.

These people are Zuo Liangyu's last elite, most of them are cronies of the Zuo family, and they are loyal to Zuo Liangyu, but Zuo Liangyu also knows that Zuo Mengeng can't control them. Bringing these thousands to the Qing court is also a generous gift.

After all the Zuo Jiajun got on the ship and headed north, Tang Wang hurried to the dock, looked at the fleet on the Yangtze River, and immediately scolded: "Shameless." ”

"Your Highness, let's go quickly." Zeng Hou had already brought hundreds of generals in the Tang Wang's Mansion at this moment, and said: "Such a big movement, basically can't hide from the thief, if you don't leave now, you basically can't leave." ”

Although King Tang was extremely angry at the betrayal of the Zuo family, the betrayal of the Zuo family at this moment was not without benefits to King Tang.

The biggest advantage is that you can leave justifiably.

After all, the defense of Wuchang City was reluctant, and once the elite of the Zuo family withdrew, it would be a rabble. Not to mention the blow to the morale of the defenders in the city, Tang Wang estimated that there were a large number of people waiting to sell the city in the city.

The general trend is gone, and there is no return.

King Tang stared at Wuchang City and said in a low voice, "Lone will come back." ”

The generals of the Tang Wangfu immediately looked for ships, the population of the Tang Wangfu was simple, there were basically no warblers and Yanyan, and the Tang King did not have a son now. There are only a few hundred generals, and these generals are still loyal and brave men recently selected from the army by the Tang King.

It only takes a few boats to load them all.

Moreover, the Tang king also understood that the Yangtze River was now the territory of the Zheng family, so the Tang king only wanted to cross the Yangtze River. Disembark immediately. Rush to Yuezhou Mansion by land.

As Zeng Hou said, such a big one

It is impossible to hide from Zhang Xuan.

It was not far from King Tang's withdrawal. Zheng's ships appeared on the Yangtze River and cut off the Yangtze River again.

After all, even if the Yangtze River is blocked, it is impossible to keep the main fleet on the Yangtze River all the time. And now Luo Rucai's main army is coming from the rear to Wuchang, so there are many civilian ships in the Zheng fleet transporting grain and baggage in the rear. For the blockade of the front, there is something missing.

This is where we are today.

Immediately, Zhang Xuan got the current situation.

However, he got not only the news that the officials and soldiers had fled, but also the letter of surrender from the gentry in Wuchang City, not one, but countless letters, almost like snowflakes.

Zhang Xuan could barely see it. But the content is the same, Zhang Xuan didn't read it at all, just looked at the list. The gentry in Wuchang City were almost all there.

"Wuchang City is here like this?" Zhang Xuan couldn't believe it.

Zuo Liangyu, Tang Wang. These two names are very bright for Zhang Xuan, the name of Tang Wang, he only remembered it recently, or the dispute between Tang and Gui in the Lu Ding Ji, which made him have some impressions, and he thought of it together, this Tang King is Emperor Longwu.

Among the emperors of the Southern Ming Dynasty in later generations, Emperor Longwu's evaluation was the first.

The previous time he sent Hongguang to persuade him to surrender, and ushered in a burst of bows and arrows, Zhang Xuan felt that Wuchang City was a hard bone, but he didn't want such a flip. Zuo Liangyu is already dead. It's just a secret that he didn't mourn, and King Tang, the future Emperor Longwu, actually fled.

Wuchang City was almost unstained with sword soldiers and fell into the hands of Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan didn't think about the specific situation, he immediately called Wang Jincai over and said, "You immediately enter Wuchang City and take over the defense of Wuchang City, but you have to pay attention." Don't me. ”

Wang Jincai said: "Yes." ”

Zhang Xuan is also cautious with Wang Jincai, Wang Jincai is a veteran soldier, and he is very careful about his own life, even if Wuchang City is surrendered, Wang Jincai can save his life.

"And." Zhang Xuan said: "In a few days, the king will come over. You have to make the gentry of the city put on a show for me. ”

Wang Jin knew what it was as soon as he heard it. Isn't it the set of eating scoop syrup to welcome the king? Wang Jincai is extremely proficient in this kind of face project, so he naturally knows what to do.

"The subordinates understand, but the adults are not ready to enter the city?" Wang Jincai said.

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and said: "Anyway, this Wuchang City is also one of the capital cities of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a big city. Let the king enter the city first. ”

Zhang Xuan has now also figured out a little bit of the instinct of being a minister, the most important thing is that any problem is my problem, any wisdom is above, while doing more things, I must also pat myself more. Just as many people are not to blame, even if there are too many sycophants, even if the people above know that you are patting sycophants, they will not blame much.
