47. Suzhou Rebellion (1)
The boy was startled, took out a document in his arms, and shouted: "I'm not a fine worker!" I'm not! I'm Xiucai! Suzhou's talents! My name is Xiang Qing! I'm such a showman! This is my sister Xiang Feng! If you don't believe it, just ask people, ask, ask Zheng Guang, Zheng Guang and Zheng Xianggong! He's my brother! He knows me! This horse, this horse is Zheng Fu's horse! Look at the horses, look at the horses! ”
Wang Wei took the paperwork, he also knew a few words, saw the four big characters of Suzhou and Xiucai, and looked at a big Zheng character on the horse card, and immediately believed a little, seeing that the girl was also crying miserably, and his heart softened, he moved the steel knife away, and instructed the people around him: "Bring this male and female baby in, go to the county to report the matter, close the city gate immediately, don't go back tonight, keep an eye on me, it is inevitable that the Japanese will not take the opportunity to come to Suzhou to make trouble."

The soldiers shouted in unison: "No! ”
Subsequently, Wang Wei took a few soldiers to escort Xiang Qing and Xiang Feng to the county government, and instructed the deputy captain Zhao Song to take seventy or eighty brothers to keep an eye on the city, but don't really let the Japanese invaders take advantage of the loopholes to enter the city, and everyone will be finished together at that time.
The matter was urgent, Wang Wei didn't care about anything else, and rushed directly to the county government, along the way many people saw the injured Xiang Qing, which caused people to talk about it, and rushed in at the gate of the county government regardless of the obstruction, and happened to bump into Zhang Sicheng who came out to eat after dinner, Zhang Sicheng immediately said angrily when he saw this: "Presumptuous! Wang Wei! The county government is heavy, how can you be allowed to trespass?! ”
Wang Wei immediately knelt down on one knee, let the brothers behind him follow, pulled Xiang Qing and Xiang Feng over, and said: "County Zun, it's not that you are humble and rude, but there is a reason for it, these two people, they say ......"
"Xiang Qing?" Zhang Sicheng's surprised voice sounded: "Why are you here?" Also, you're hurt? What's going on?! ”
As soon as Wang Wei saw that Zhang Sicheng recognized Xiang Qing, he was immediately convinced of what Xiang Qing said, and immediately said: "County Zun, in the west, there are Japanese invaders, this Xiang Xiucai's village is afraid that it has been poisoned by Japanese invaders, we must immediately inform the whole city and get ready!" ”
Zhang Sicheng was stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked: "The Japanese are here?!" This, this is not right, to the west, close to Taihu Lake, how did the Japanese come here, swim to the lake? If you want to come, you will come from the east! What the hell is going on?! No, no, you have to inform the Fuzun immediately! Wang Wei, you go to the government office immediately and inform the government of this matter! Please make a quick decision! ”
Wang Wei left immediately after receiving the order, and Zhang Sicheng also planned to do something, at least to gather soldiers and horses to protect the western city wall he was responsible for, these damn widows! How to pick the most dilapidated city walls! Fuzun is also yes, every time the city wall is repaired, it is dedicated to the east and north, and now it is good, the Japanese are coming to the west!
At this time, Xiang Qing also reacted, and suddenly knelt down in front of Zhang Sicheng and cried: "County Zun! Prefectural Honor! Please send someone to save my parents and save my villagers! Prefectural Honor! There are a lot of people coming, and they are very cruel! Kill people when you see them, and rob them when you see them! ”
Zhang Sicheng was in a state of confusion, where is the kung fu to take care of this matter, now guarding Suzhou City from being attacked by the Japanese is the top priority, who will take care of a small village? was annoying, but just remembered Zheng Guang, so he said to the people around him: "You immediately send the two of them to Zheng's mansion, let Zheng Guang settle properly, and the rest of the people will prepare immediately, gather people and horses, and follow me to the city wall." ”
After speaking, Zhang Sicheng ignored Xiang Qing and strode out, Xiang Qing and Xiang Feng were sent to Zheng Guang's mansion in a daze, and were seen by many people along the way, Xiang Qing's blood was still dripping on the road, causing people to be shocked for a while, suspecting that something was wrong, when they arrived at Zheng Mansion, the old housekeeper of Zheng Mansion recognized Xiang Qing, after all, he had been here a few times, but when he saw the wound on Xiang Qing's arm and half of his body blood, he was shocked: "Xiang Xiao Xianggong?" You guys, what's going on? ”
The county government official who sent him hurriedly said in a low voice: "It seems that the widows are making trouble, don't make a fuss, the county zun has gone to check the situation, and ordered me to send them to the Zheng mansion, so that you can be properly settled, pay attention to this, we will go first." After speaking, the two officials left in a hurry, and the old housekeeper panicked for a while, and hurriedly said to the people around him: "Go and tell Da Lang that something is wrong!" ”
When Zheng Guang came in a hurry, the old housekeeper was bandaging Xiang Qing's wounds, Zheng Guang saw Xiang Qing sitting stupidly with his eyes blank, Xiang Qing's sister Xiang Feng sitting on the ground, her head buried between her legs and crying, her brows furrowed, and she hurriedly asked, "Ziyuan, you guys are, what's wrong?" ”
When Xiang Qing heard Zheng Guang's voice, his eyes regained his brilliance, and then, he couldn't stop crying: "Senior brother! Wakako! It's a wolf! The Japanese invaded our village, killing people and robbing things when they saw them, but thanks to the horse you left me, I escaped, otherwise I would have died in the village! Senior brother, think of a way to save my father, you must have a way, right? ”
Zheng Guang was also stunned at first, and hurriedly said: "Ziyuan, don't worry, don't worry, say slowly, what's going on, how can there be a wolf?" How did the Wokos end up in your village? How could it be in the west? If the Japanese are coming, they are coming from the east, right? What's going on? ”
Xiang Qing kept shaking his head: "I don't know, I don't know, suddenly the Japanese invaders appeared, killed people when they saw them, and set fires, there were a lot of Japanese robbers, I don't know how many they were, they all rushed over, there were bows and arrows, and crossbows, many people were shot to death, I really escaped from death, my father and mother asked me to come to Suzhou City to move the rescuers, and the county went to the city wall, senior brother, what should I do, what should I do?" Daddy doesn't know what is going on now, everyone doesn't know if it's alive or not, what can I do, what to do! ”
Zheng Guang probably understood what was going on, the sudden Japanese invaded Xiang Qing's village, so far only Xiang Qing and his sister Xiang Hao escaped with the help of horses, according to the past practice of the Japanese Kou, it is estimated that the number of survivors will not be too much, if it happens somewhere in the east, it can be understood as a normal autumn wind, just like the north of the Alta often do, but in the west of Suzhou there is something not quite right, the base camp of the Japanese is in the east of the sea, if you want to come, you will also come from the east to the west to fight, How can you fight from the west to the east?
But according to this, the target of the Japanese Kou is Suzhou City, yes, as soon as he thought of this, Zheng Guang's soul seemed to throb, seven years ago, the deep resentment and blood hatred in the depths of the memory made the souls that had already been fused begin to throb, what kind of position this hatred and memory occupy in Zheng Guang's heart, it is obvious.
Just after the township examination, the Japanese invaders came, and the unexpectedly simple questions and unexpectedly strict guards of the original government examination were also perfectly explained at this time.
Probably because of the problem of intelligence, the government must have received some information and learned of some plans of the Japanese invaders, so they would make corresponding preparations, but the Japanese did not come on time, but waited until the Suzhou government withdrew the defense, and then suddenly appeared.
But Rao is so, Suzhou Mansion also has a lot of troops to guard, after all, it is a heavy tax area, and the imperial court does not dare to ignore Suzhou Mansion too much for its own money bags, so when Zheng Guang analyzed and came to the conclusion at that time, the first thought was to call all the family members to Suzhou City, including those tenants, but after a few days, nothing happened, and the tenants all went back, but the whole Zheng family is now in the city and has not left, which is the only thing to be thankful about.
But the dozen or so tenants ...... They......
Zheng Guang gritted his teeth, frowned, and looked to the west.
At this time, Wang Wei also arrived at the prefect's mansion, after reporting the intention, the guards rushed in with a surprised face, and rushed out after a while, the mansion wanted to meet Wang Wei, Wang Wei immediately straightened out his appearance, quickly entered the mansion, and after seeing Fan Qing, he knelt down on one knee and said: "Humble Wang Wei, I have seen the mansion!" ”
Fan Qing said anxiously: "Don't be polite, let's talk quickly, what's going on?" Are the Wokkers really coming? ”
Wang Wei replied: "According to the humble opinion, this matter is not far from ten, it is alleged that he witnessed a large amount of black smoke not far from the west of the city, according to past experience, unless a large number of houses or trees are burned, it is impossible to have so much black smoke, plus the confessions of a man and a woman who fled from there, it is enough to prove that the Japanese invaders did attack the villages in the west of the city, and it is estimated that at this time, the people in the villages in the west of the city have been killed!" ”
Fan Qing frowned and said, "What did Zhang Sicheng do?" ”
Wang Wei replied: "The county lord went to inspect the city wall, and before he left, he had arranged for the city gate guards to keep an eye on the city wall to ensure that nothing would happen. ”
Fan Qing nodded and said, "You did a good job, now you go back to the city wall immediately, take care of the city wall, and there must be no omission!" ”
Wang Wei commanded: "No! ”
After Wang Wei left, Fan Qing said to the master beside him: "It seems that there is nothing wrong with the attack of the Japanese invaders, but the previous information was obviously that the Japanese will attack during or after the government test, how did it become after the township test now?" Is there an error in the information? ”
The master said with a hesitant expression: "Unless the Japanese already know about the leakage of information, and know that we have not only mobilized a regular escort team on the surface, but also secretly ambushed an elite army, this time we may wait until they are all withdrawn before sending troops to attack!" ”
Fan Qing asked, "So what now?" ”
The master frowned and thought for a while, and said: "The only way now is to send someone to Futai to ask for troops, Futai is not in Suzhou, you can only send people to Nanjing, now the entire Suzhou city has less than 2,000 soldiers, and it is not a strong army, but where the number of Japanese pirates is five hundred, Suzhou is a little dangerous, even if the Japanese can't enter the city, we can't exterminate them, or we still have to ask Futai for rescue, we just need to defend the city wall, don't let the Japanese enter the city." ”
Fan Qing hesitated: "Futai has been very angry about the previous incident, if the Japanese are suspicious again this time, how can it be good?" ”
