Lin Mingqiu came last night, as the owner of the shop, he still sells Cantonese goods, and naturally no one doubts Wu Zhigui when he comes to find him.

Wu Zhigui thought at first that Lin Mingqiu still came to find him for convenience, but after seeing Lin enter the house, he smiled and said: "Boss Lin, it's not okay today, the governor has an order, and the puppet Ming army is going to attack the city, and I really can't open the city gate for you!" ”

"Lord Wu, I didn't come here today to transport any in-demand materials, but to send a splash of wealth to Lord Wu!"

Hearing Lin Mingqiu say this, Wu Zhigui was stunned, he knew that Lin Mingqiu was engaged in smuggling business, what Nanyang ivory, Guangdong snow sugar, Luzon fish maw, etc., there was no good thing that Lin Mingqiu couldn't get, and he also got a lot of benefits from him. But today, when I heard that I could give myself a splash of wealth, I couldn't help but be curious.

"Boss Lin, what is the wealth of the sky, let's hear it!"

"Hehe, show something to the adults before you say it!" After Lin Mingqiu finished speaking, he took out an iron plate from his arms and handed it to Wu Zhigui.

Wu Zhigui took it and saw that it was a square iron plate, with several Yangwen engraved on it "Daming Pro-Army Governor's Mansion", and a few small characters engraved below, "Nanzhen Fusi Baihu Lin". Before Wu Zhigui surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was a thousand households of Hangzhou Wei, and he was also a person in the system.

Wu Zhigui was so frightened when he saw this that he immediately stood up and shouted, "Someone! Four guards rushed in from outside the house.

"Take this guy down for me! Leave it to the Governor's Yamen to deal with! ”

Lin Mingqiu didn't wait for the guards to make a move, he stood up and said, "Lord Wu, don't you think about your family if you don't think about yourself?" ”

Lin Mingqiu's words are talking about Wu Zhigui's death, the Wu family has been the hereditary thousand households of Hangzhou Zuowei since the Hongwu period, and it has been passed down to the thirteenth generation of his generation, but it is said that hundreds of members of the Wu family have to rely on Wu Zhigui to live, so when King Lu opened the gate of Hangzhou and surrendered, Wu Zhigui took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty without thinking about it. Lin Mingqiu picked Wu Zhigui because he took a fancy to him, the Wu family has a large population, and Wu Zhigui has five sons, and he really can't afford to die.

Wu Zhigui's face was several times, and he waved his hand to let the four guards out, these guards are all personal soldiers of the Wu family, and some have been following the Wu family for hundreds of years, and they are very reliable.

Wu Zhigui's gloomy face whispered: "I didn't expect that Shopkeeper Lin is still a pseudo-Ming eagle dog, let's say, what's the matter with you?" ”

When Lin Mingqiu saw Wu Zhigui let his soldiers out, he knew that something big was going to happen tonight.

"Lord Wu, I am here to save your Lord Wu family today!"

"Joke, do you think you can capture Hangzhou City with Zhu Hongsan's tens of thousands of people?"

"Hehe, Lord Wu doesn't know yet, the tens of thousands of water divisions led by Tian Xiong were wiped out in the morning, Zhang Cunren didn't tell you the generals of the former Ming Dynasty about this news!"

Wu Zhigui really didn't know this news, Zhang Cunren was afraid that these generals of the former Ming Dynasty were unreliable, so he kept them completely secret, and now Wu Zhigui couldn't help but tremble when he heard the news. I didn't expect the puppet sailor to be so powerful, Tian Xiong is hundreds of ships!

"Lord Wu, how have you been doing in the past two years of taking refuge in the Manchu Tartars? I don't need to talk about it! They Manchurians are first-class people, Han Junqi is second-class people, and you, the former Ming army, are the second-class people. ”

Hearing Lin Mingqiu say this, Wu Zhigui sighed, "Lin Baihu, of course I know that those bastards are not human beings at all, not only occupy my house in Beicheng, but also ask me for bribes many times, and I gave Tian Xiong a full 50,000 taels of silver, which gave me a position of deputy general!" ”

"That's right, Lord Wu, since the Manchu Qing Dynasty is like this to you, why don't you come over anyway and open the city gate to let Emperor Shenwu's army enter the city, it will be a great achievement at that time!"

Wu Zhigui listened to what Lin Mingqiu said well, but who knows how the rogue emperor Zhu Hongsan would treat himself when he opened the city gate, maybe he couldn't say with a knife.

Lin Mingqiu saw Wu Zhigui hesitate, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot on the side, "Lord Wu, you know what Emperor Shenwu did to Li Chengdong, can Lord Wu's sins compare to Li Chengdong?" Back then, Jiading City let Li Chengdong kill him for nothing, how is Li Chengdong now? Lord Wu, aren't you still at ease? ”

Li Chengdong Anyway, Wu Zhigui knew, but he didn't expect that bandit to be the king of the county, I heard that Emperor Shenwu also promised his daughter to Li Chengdong's son as a wife (Zhu Hong's three words: Fart, that bastard spreads nonsense, Lao Tzu wants to destroy his nine clans), I am really envious.

Lin Mingqiu saw that Wu Zhigui was a little moved, and then said: "Lord Wu is only a deputy general now, if he submits to Emperor Shenwu, a general soldier will be guaranteed, and Lord Wu's hereditary position of a thousand households can also be continued!" ”

This sentence completely moved Wu Zhigui, no matter how you say your current position, it is not as good as a long-term food stamp, but his hereditary thousand households are personally sealed by Emperor Hongwu, and Emperor Shenwu, as a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang, will definitely restore his hereditary position of thousands of households. You must know that what Wu Zhigui regrets most about surrendering to the Manchu Qing Dynasty is that the position of this hereditary thousand households is gone, that is to say, as long as his descendants do not make a living, they will become ordinary people.

Hearing Lin Mingqiu say this, Wu Zhigui gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Lin Baihu, Wu will listen to you, what do you say?" ”

"It's simple, Lord Wu just needs to open the city gate and let the Ming army outside the city come in!"

"Okay, Lin Baihu and I will go to the city together!"

Wu Zhigui led Lin Mingqiu out of the house under the city wall, followed the newly opened fire path to the city gate, and was just about to order the door to be opened. At this moment, a personal soldier came over and shouted: "My lord, the governor sent a Manchurian cow to help the lord defend the city, and he also brought fifty Manchurian soldiers!" ”

It turned out that Zhang Cunren was afraid that these Han people would rebel again, so he sent 50 people from each city gate to serve as surveillance.

Wu Zhigui shouted in his heart that he was unlucky, he also knew that these Manchurian Tartars were here to spy on him, so he hurriedly asked Lin Mingqiu in a low voice What should he do?

Lin Mingqiu's eyes rolled and said, "Lord Wu will entertain them first, let them into the house to drink, and then get them drunk!" ”

Wu Zhigui thought about it, and there was only this way, he left Lin Mingqiu and hurried out of the city gate to see Man Dahai.

When Wu Zhigui left the urn city, he saw a middle-aged man with a tall horse riding on a horse, standing on the street waiting for him, and dozens of Manchurian soldiers standing behind him.

Wu Zhigui hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying, "But Lord Man? The last general, Wu Zhigui, is late! ”

Man Dahai is a serious banner man, he can't speak a word of Chinese at all, and he blurted out a series of Manchu words after glancing at Wu Zhigui. An interpreter of the Han military banner on the side hurriedly said: "Lord Hai asked you what you were doing?" Why did you arrive so late? ”

"Lord Hai, the lower official just went to inspect the city defense, and just received a report from his subordinates!"

"Lord Hai asked you if there was anything going on here?"

"No, it's quiet outside the city, nothing out of the ordinary!"

The translator muttered to Mandahai for a while, then came over and continued, "Lord Hai wants to go to the city wall to have a look!" ”

Wu Zhigui dared to stop it, and hurriedly led the way to Manda Sea City.

Wu Zhigui still has two brushes, and the arrangements on and under the city are well organized, in addition to a thousand soldiers, Wu Zhigui also mobilized two thousand young people in the city to help defend the city. Man Dahai was very satisfied and praised Wu Zhigui repeatedly.

Seeing that the time had come, Wu Zhigui hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Lord Man, it's already October, and the weather in Hangzhou is cold, why don't we go into the city tower to roast the fire and drink some wine?" ”

Man Dahai smiled contemptuously after hearing this, and said: "You Han barbarians are just weak, and Lao Tzu still bathes in ice water in the cold of Liaodong!" ”

"That's it! Is that! Naturally, we can't compare with the Manchurians, but a little wine can also pass the long night, right? ”

Mandahai comes from the bitter cold land of Liaodong, naturally good wine, and now when I hear Wu Zhigui say this, I can't help but drink worms, but the governor has an order to let himself monitor this guy, if he drinks too much, it is really not good.

Wu Zhigui saw that Man Dahai had scruples, and hurriedly said: "Lord Hai, in this way, let the soldiers you bring not drink, just the two of us can drink some!" ”

As soon as Man Dahai heard this, as long as someone was sober, it would be fine, and there would be no tricks to forgive these Han barbarians.

Man Dahai made up his mind, followed Wu Zhigui into the city tower, and the two began to push the cup and change the lamp and began to drink.

Wu Zhigui took out all the potato wine that Lin Mingqiu sold from Guangdong, this kind of wine has been drunk, the entrance is clear, the taste is very good, but the stamina is very strong, plus after the blessing of Zhu Hongsan's technology, this kind of wine has more than 50 degrees.

Man Dahai drank the first sip and applauded, this wine is still delicious. Wu Zhigui saw that he had drunk a cup and quickly got up and gave it to him. Wu Zhigui kept an eye on it, and let his soldiers take two wine jugs, and gave Man Dahai a high-degree wine, and he himself drank only low-alcohol wine mixed with water.

It's good to drink like this, no matter how good Man Dahai is, he can't drink Wu Zhigui, after drinking the fourth pot, Man Dahai fell asleep on the table, and Wu Zhigui couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed.

Seeing that Man Dahai had drunk too much, Wu Zhigui called the soldiers at the door and asked him to bring five jars of wine to those Manchurian soldiers and let them taste it too.

At first, those Manchurian soldiers didn't dare to drink, but when they heard that their own adults let them drink, they let go, this kind of wine is not something that they can drink, plus the Manchurians are good at wine, and they drank it one by one in less than half an hour.

Seeing that these Manchurian soldiers were unconscious, Wu Zhigui called his own 100 personal soldiers, took ropes and tied up 50 people and Mandahai, and then went down to the city to find Lin Mingqiu.

After such a toss, the sky has turned slightly white, and the Ming army and naval division in Nancheng are still firing artillery, but the frequency has slowed down a lot.

Wu Zhigui said to Lin Mingqiu: "Lin Baihu, Wu's whole family of more than 100 people is going to ask you!" ”

"Don't worry! Lord Wu, your whole family's safety is on you! ”

Wu Zhigui nodded, and let his henchmen open the gate of the three-story urn city of Wulin Gate to welcome the new army of Guangdong into the city.
