The pursuing troops have been chasing through the first city wall, from the gap opened by the enemy to the Wujiang bridge, as well as on the Wujiang River, because at this time the Jurchen Eight Banners behind and the Mongolian Eight Banners troops rushed over, the rebels could only withdraw their troops and retreat to the first city wall to defend, and at the same time clear the enemy stragglers in the city.

It was also very hard work, and at noon the next day, all the people had time to rest.

Zhang Qiang was sore and hurt all over his body, lying down in Zhu Dadian's bedroom in Zhu Mansion, and Zhu Dadian took care of the rest.

Zhang Qiang slept until the early morning of the third day, and did not wake up.

took the towel handed by a maid from his side, wiped his face, took a sip of mouthwash, Zhang Qiang sat up, spit out the mouthwash, and took a few sips of the teacup handed over.

Several maids came over to help him change the armor on his body and put on a young man's luxurious clothes, and Zhang Qiang, under the guidance of the Zhu Mansion's family members, walked towards the front hall of the Zhu Mansion.

In the front hall, more than a dozen people sat there, Zhu Dadian sat in the main seat, and on both sides were the generals of the Ming army and those squires who held on and did not surrender to the enemy.

In the courtyard outside, You Haibo and some generals canonized by Zhang Qiang lined up on both sides, followed by the family members of the Zhu Mansion guarding the surroundings.

Zhang Qiang frowned.

didn't say anything, and followed Jia Ding into the front hall, "Haha, Zhang Qiangyishi, thank you for your wonderful command and help Jinhua achieve such a big victory." Jinhua can avoid the poisonous hands of the Qing army, and the righteous should take the lead. ”

He stood up and faced the direction of Fuzhou, "I have already sent a post soldier out of the city to report to the emperor, and when the time comes, a Jinhua garrison will be inevitable." ”

Zhang Qiang couldn't figure out the situation at present, so he could only give his hand and say: "This is all thanks to the good scheduling of the adults, and the grass people are only doing their meager efforts, so they can't talk about the credit." ”

"Come, give me a seat, and let the righteous man sit on my left hand." Zhu Dadian smiled all over his face and stretched out his hand to the open space on his left.

The family hurriedly took out a brocade stool from the back of the main hall and placed it there.

Zhang Qiang couldn't figure out the situation at all, so he was pressed to the stool, he was still confused at this time, what happened to NPC Zhu Dadian?

How dare he do this to me?

A squire, stroking the goatee on his chin with one hand, his eyes radiated brilliance, and he said in a loud voice: "Zhang Yishi is bare and brave, loyal to the country, and ordered in danger, under the dispatch of Lord Zhu, stubbornly resist, so that the old man is embarrassed, at the most critical moment, the old man is a little flustered, panicked all day, if it weren't for Lord Zhu still fighting outside, the old man wants to escape from Jinhua." ”

"Hehe, yes, Zhang Qiang is like the brave flying general given to us by God, both wise and brave, such a person should indeed be worshiped by the people of Jinhua." The NPC Zhu Dadian in Zhang Qiang's eyes had disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared.

Countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Qiang's mind, and finally, he understood that this Zhu Dadian was no longer his subordinate NPC Zhu Dadian.

Zhang Qiang stroked his forehead a little depressedly and rolled his eyes to watch their performance.

"Alas," Zhang Qiang sighed in his heart, he had been busy for so long, he thought that he could officially start his own road to hegemony, with the help of a famous celebrity in history, or he would get twice the result with half the effort, and now it seems that he has made a wedding dress for others.

When did this Zhu Dadian wake up, when did Zhu Dadian in history grasp the initiative of the body, he didn't realize it, and the Zhu Dadian he brought with him may have been beaten back to the original time and space.

Zhang Qiang doesn't know why this is the case, but he is sure that the riding and chopping system is not as stable as he expected, or that it will bring unlimited benefits to himself, and he will have to rely on himself in the future, and he can't fully trust the system.

Those squires and Ming Dynasty officials in Jinhua, you talk word by word, and you completely regard Zhang Qiang as a dispensable person.

When they said that their mouths were dry and stopped, Zhang Qiang asked, "Lord Zhu, I want to ask, how is the Qing army Tartar?" ”

Zhu Dadian laughed, "Zhang Qiangyishi, the Tartars have retreated, retreated to Nanchang and Huizhou Mansion, and Jinhua has defended it." ”

Zhang Qiang asked, "How are we lost?" ”

Zhu Dadian restrained his smile, with a face that had eaten stool, and after a while, he raised his head and sighed, "There are not four out of ten people in the city, and the young and strong are only in their early eighties.

This also includes the young and strong people and ordinary people who poured into the counties around Jinhua Mansion at the beginning of the war, a total of 50,000 to 60,000 people, and only more than 20,000 at present.

It can be said that Jinhua Mansion, after the war, more than half of the people died, and now there are still more than 10,000 displaced people in the city, these are old and weak, young and strong are killed and injured, I am afraid that within a few years, the livelihood of Jinhua Mansion will wither, and it is difficult to be as prosperous as before. ”

Zhang Qiang shook his head helplessly, there is no way, the wheel of history is too strong, and he has not completely reversed the situation by his own efforts, this is the fate of the Han people.

"Why did the adults arrange for me to wait?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Zhu Dadian touched his beard, well, well, for a long time, and he didn't figure out how to arrange Zhang Qiang.

At this time, a squire said: "Zhang Qiangyi has merit with me Jinhua, why don't you let him serve as the garrison of Wuyi County?" ”

Seeing the puzzled look of the squires around him, the squire adjusted his posture, coughed, and said leisurely: "I can't chill the hearts of the soldiers." ”

A group of officials, squires, with different expressions, each with their own ideas, each with their own expressions, did not speak.

The squire stood up, bowed his hand to Zhu Dadian and said, "A county town garrison does not need the permission of the imperial court at this moment. Lord Zhu can decide, the prefect and the county died, and most of the other counties under the jurisdiction of the county also hung up the seal, Wuyi County is empty, and other places Lord Zhu has arrangements for these two days, and there is no one to take on the garrison of Wuyi County, originally the grass people wanted to get a position for Xiao'er, but since Zhang Qiangyi has worked hard and has no good work, it is better to let Zhang Qiangyi go. ”

Can get a position in Wuyi County garrison, which is also very convenient for Zhang Qiang, Zhang Qiang previously checked the map of Jinhua Mansion, but also paid attention to Wuyi County, where there are many mountains, surrounded by mountains on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and located in the corner of Jinhua Mansion, not many people pay attention, it is really a good place for the development of the traverser's entrepreneurship, the only bad thing is that there are too few acres, which means that there is too little food, too many soldiers can not be raised, and it can only be used as an initial choice.

He glanced gratefully at the squire, who smiled at him.

Just listen, "Okay, just according to Xu Zhizhou, Zhang Qiangyishi, are you willing?" Zhu Dadian asked hypocritically.

What else can Zhang Qiang do, Pi Xiaorou smiled and said, "Okay, I will follow the arrangement of Scholar Zhu." ”

That Xu Zhizhou said again: "Now that the prefect has died, Scholar Zhu was once in the center, and at this moment he is the highest official here such as me, it is better for Scholar Zhu to take up the prefect of Jinhua Mansion, and wait for the imperial court to make an order, and then we will meet the new prefect." ”

"Okay, okay."

The crowd applauded.

Zhang Qiang waited for them to finish celebrating, and then asked, "Lord Prefect, I don't know how many soldiers I can bring to the post." How much food can the government allocate to me? ”

This kind of thing must be mentioned first, Zhang Qiang doesn't want to take office alone, he also wants to take a few people he is familiar with, but these people are either Zhu Mansion soldiers or righteous soldiers, all of whom are under the jurisdiction of Zhu Dadian.

Zhu Dadian said embarrassed at this time: "Zhang Qiangyishi, you also know that the government is empty, whether it is soldiers or money and food, there are not much, so let's do it, I promise you to lead a hundred generals and a hundred volunteers to Wuyi County to take up their posts, well, as for money and food, I will give you one hundred taels of silver, forty stone of grain, one hundred loads of grain and grass, and you can also choose what you like from the captured enemy armor, arm your soldiers, and give you five war horses, okay?" ”

Zhang Qiang stood up, thought for a while and said, "My lord, I want to bring all the family members who followed me to fight before, I don't know if you can agree?" ”

Zhu Dadian waved his hand, "Take it with you, I have a lot of people, not a few of them." ”

Zhang Qiang arched his hand, turned around and walked out, since Zhu Dadian was no longer the Zhu Dadian he brought, then there was no need to entangle more.

At this time, Zhang Qiang saw a family member, who seemed to be Zhu Dayou who was guarding the treasury, ran in in a panic and shouted: "Master, master, Miss is missing." ”

"What?" Zhu Dadian stood up and exclaimed.

Zhang Qiang heard Zhu Dadian shouting madly: "What did you do, why did you let Miss disappear,"

"Someone, someone, drag this person out and call me ——。"

"My lord, my lord, Miss is not my responsibility to protect, the villain is just guarding the treasury, my lord, the day before yesterday, the villain was ordered to inspect the front yard of the Zhu Mansion, regardless of the villain's affairs."

A family member said: "My lord, you ordered the detention of Miss, who was imprisoned in the firewood room in the backyard, and was guarded by Huzi. ”

I only heard the faint Zhu Dadian roar and said: "Call Huzi to me, no, bring someone to bring that beast to the lock,—— when did I order Pan'er to be imprisoned, you untouchables who deceive and conceal your superiors, all deserve to die, Pan'er has three longs and two shortcomings, I will cramp and peel your skin." ”

Taking advantage of Zhu Dadian's inability to take care of himself, Zhang Qiang hurriedly withdrew from the lobby and urged the housekeeper of Zhu Mansion to go through the formalities, so that he could go out to find someone and run out of Jinhua County as soon as possible.

If there was nothing to do with Zhu Panpan, he would have wanted to stay in Jinhuafu City for a few days, fooling more people to follow him, and he also stared at a few cannons at the head of the city.

Now he can only speed up his pace, how fast he can run.

Zhu Panpan was imprisoned by NPC Zhu Dadian, this is a matter for him, if Zhu Dadian wakes up later, as soon as the people below report, Zhu Dadian's aunts and wives instigated, he can't eat and walk around, maybe he will be treated as a demon, and he will be caught like a god who pretends to be a god and a ghost, dip in a pig cage, or sink into the Wujiang River, or cut by a thousand knives, I shudder to think about it.

Let's hurry up, I hope that when he runs to Wuyi County, he hasn't found out the reason yet, and when the time comes, even if it is a break, what can he do with himself?

He still had a lot of trouble, the Qing army retreated temporarily, but it wasn't that he defeated others.
