"Damn it." Luo Yulong said angrily.

After the victory of Qian Sule Shaoxing, he actually did not see a good reception, and the soldiers attacked Hangzhou from the waterway, Luo Yulong had to fight with Qian Sule under the city of Hangzhou, and Qian Sule naturally could not beat Luo Yulong, but Qian Sule occupied the advantage of the waterway, and when he saw that he could not capture Hangzhou, he retreated to the south of the Qiantang River.

Confronted Luo Yulong across the Qiantang River.

And it seems that because of Qian Sule's victory, the Jiangnan gentry were called, and the gentry from all walks of life responded to the south of the Qiantang River, and for a time the troops in Qian Sule's hands increased greatly, and more than a dozen gentry also broke their homes for the country like the Qian family, of which there were as many as 14 of them.

Among them is the Shizong camp of the Huang Zongxi and Huang families.

For a while, Luo Yulong saw that there were more than one banner on the south bank of the Qiantang River, hundreds of miles of river banks, almost nowhere to cross, he had 20,000 cavalry in his hands, if it was the Central Plains, these 20,000 cavalry would be enough to defeat these newly formed armies, but this was Jiangnan. In the face of the Qiantang River, Luo Yulong could only sigh with admiration, not to mention, this victory inspired a lot, Xia Yunyi even raised a banner and raised thousands of troops, seeing that Songjiang Mansion, which had just fallen into the hands of the righteous army, was not guaranteed.

Luo Yulong couldn't care about the things south of the Qiantang River for a while.

He deeply realized what it means to be easy to determine and difficult to level.

Jiangnan is not as good as the north, the north has long been by soldiers and horses, natural disasters and man-made disasters, ravaged not like this, the people are determined, and there is not much loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.

But Gangnam is different.

Although there are some natural disasters in Jiangnan, it does not affect the prosperity of Jiangnan, and it is simply two worlds with the north, and the gentry are quite satisfied with their current life.

In other words, Jiangnan in this era has a sense of superiority, just like the superiority of Shanghainese in later generations.

The Jiangnan gentry may not have much loyalty to the Ming court, but they want to keep their current lives in mind. Not wanting to bow to the soil buns from the north is almost the mind of the entire Jiangnan people.

And the Ming Dynasty still has some loyal ministers and righteous men in Jiangnan, and in such an atmosphere, there is considerable resistance to Luo Yulong's suppression of the rebellion of the gentry in various places.

It made Luo Yulong feel like he was in the mud, although he had all the great power in his hands, he couldn't use the strength.

"Send someone to General Zhang to give an order, let him advance east from Jinhua, and exterminate Qian Sule and others." Luo Yulong said.

Someone immediately went to give the order.

Luo Yulong said to Wang Lung again: "Wang Lung, there is one thing to leave to you. ”

"Big brother, please speak." Wang Lung said.

"You go to Matsue." The corners of Luo Yulong's eyes twitched slightly and said, "You only have one request, which is to kill." ”

"Yes." Wang Lung said.

For the rebellions that have come and gone, Luo Yulong has no other way, the only thing he can think of is to look at your neck

Hard, or hard knives.

Wang Lung brought more than 10,000 cavalry to Songjiang. And Luo Yulong's order also came to Jinhua.

After Zhang Xuan took the order, he pondered slightly for a while, and said secretly in his heart: "This is just right, if I come a few days earlier, I won't be able to spare my hands." ”

During this period of time, Zhang Xuan dealt with the affairs of Jinhua Mansion.

Xu is worthy of being a low-headed snake, and with Xu Du's support, many Jinhua locals have defected to Zhang Xuan through Xu Du's way.

For a time, Zhang Xuan stored more Jinhua people than several prefectures and counties before.

With Jinhua as the center, several counties also surrendered one after another because of Xu Du. Moreover, mountain people from all over the country also joined the army one after another because of Xu Du.

Xu Du's Jinhua Army was also quickly formed.

However, the only thing that can really form combat power is the Yiwu battalion. It is the old soldiers of the Xu family gathered in a battalion, but it can be said that it is the essence of the tens of thousands of white-headed troops.

As for the remaining two battalions, they are now only able to defend the city.

Zhang Xuan's department is almost repaired. It's time to fight.

"Order the generals of all ministries to come to the government to gather." Zhang Xuan said.

"Yes." He Hutou said.

Zhang Xuan gave an order, and dozens of generals came to the mansion.

Zhang Xuan read the letter in his hand to everyone and said, "The military situation is urgent, don't talk about it." Xu Du. ”

"The end will be." Xu Du said loudly.

"Take a battalion from your department, and you will lead the crusade with me." Zhang Xuan said.

"Yes." Xu Du said.

This is the proper meaning of the question, Zhang Xuan can allow Xu Du to enjoy special rights in Jinhua Mansion.

But the premise is that Xu Dusuo's department is the Jinhua army of the righteous army, not an independent warlord.

Bring Xu Du with you, that's what it looks like. It can be understood that Xu Du is integrated into the rebel army, and it can also be understood that Xu Du is a hostage of Jinhua soldiers.

It depends on how others interpret it.

"Xu Du, you have been in Jiangnan for a long time, tell me, how are the so-called fourteen armies?" Zhang Xuan asked.

Xu Du sneered and said: "The rabble, these dozen or so families are all article heirlooms, scholars. But when it comes to big battles, they are all laymen, and the last general is invited to be the vanguard and break the fourteen armies. ”

Among all the people, the one who knows the most about the Jiangnan army is Xu Du. He didn't think that the hastily pulled up army could have any combat effectiveness. And Xu Du also understands that he is a new investor, ranking above many old people, and he is about to make several great contributions to prove his ability. At this moment, he naturally will not let go of this opportunity.

Zhang Xuan also intended to give Xu Du this opportunity.

Zhang Xuan also wanted to see how much ability Xu Du, a Jiangnan general, had.

"Good. only

With General Xu as the vanguard. Zhang Xuan said.

After finalizing this matter, he immediately returned to the defense of Jinhua Mansion.

Jinhua Mansion is surrounded by enemies on three sides, so to speak, it can be said to be a salient as long as the north is connected to the land under the jurisdiction of Cao Ying, and the east, south, and west are all oppressed by the enemy.

It's just that the officers and soldiers reacted too slowly, and for a while they still had the courage to take the initiative to attack. There is no need to worry much about the south, surrounded by mountains, the state capital has no offensive strength, and Zhang Xuan is about to send troops to attack in the east, but in the west, with his back to Jiangxi, Zhang Xuan is worried about what will happen.

Therefore, the Jinhua army stayed in two battalions, which was mainly to defend the west.

After all this was arranged, Zhang Xuan decided to break the meeting.

After Xu Du left, he did not go back to the barracks directly, but returned to his house, but saw a large coffin in the hall.

It's no one else's, it's Chen Zilong's.

Xu Du stroked Chen Zilong's coffin, and said secretly in his heart: "Brother Zilong, don't worry, time will prove that I am right." ”

How is it right, only by establishing a new dynasty, and the new dynasty is much better than the Ming Dynasty, Xu Du feels that he can face Chen Zilong.

"Big brother, it's all arranged." Xu Yingjia said: "Someone will transport it away tomorrow, and go directly by waterway, from the Qiantang River to the canal, and from the waterway to Songjiang Mansion." Pai De is an old man in the family, and he has walked many times along the way, so there will be no problems. ”

Xu Du said: "I will leave this matter to you, I can rest assured." But Ying Jia, tomorrow I will follow General Zhang on the eastward expedition, and you will take good care of your family in Jinhua. Pay attention to the movement on the Jiangxi side. ”

Xu Yingjia said: "Big brother, don't worry, I will keep the foundation of my Xu family." ”

"No, Jinhua is not the foundation of the Xu family." Xu Du said: "You have to remember clearly, it is the foundation of King Wu, and you will serve under King Wu in the future, so you must not say it, you know?" ”

Xu Jiaying said: "Yes." ”

Xu Du secretly said in his heart: "Jiaying is not a person who is in charge alone, and I am afraid that he will suffer in the future." ”

Xu Jiaying is a good hand at fighting, but he suffers from too little study and lack of knowledge, after all, before, he was just trained as a family member, and he didn't know many things.

Xu Du decided to marry Xu Jiaying to a woman from a scholarly family, Xu didn't dare to think like this before, how could Xu Jiaying be classified as a descendant of the Xu family, he was also born as a slave, and other idlers looked down on him.

But in today's Jiangnan, I am afraid that there are the most down-and-out scholars.

Xu Du had foreseen this.

Just when Zhang Xuan sent troops eastward in Jinhua, countless ships converged on the mouth of the Yangtze River. It's like a moving continent.

I saw that on the largest ship, there was a big flag with the word "Shen" hanging on it, and it was Shen Tingyang who arrived. Shen Tingyang was originally a native of Chongming, a maritime merchant in his family for generations, and as soon as he arrived here, he became the focus of all the gentry in Chongming.
