After Pang Yue and the others returned to the camp from Hangzhou City, the first batch of grain and grass allocated by Zhang Bingzhen, the new secretary of the military department, arrived, but the amount was a bit small, only enough for them for four or five days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Pang Yue didn't complain about this. Because he knows that according to the current situation, he will not stay in Hangzhou for long, if he ignores the butterfly effect brought about by his crossing, probably the day after tomorrow, Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang, will leave Hangzhou with the support of some officials. Therefore, on the ninth and tenth days of the first lunar month, Pang Yue asked his officers and soldiers to seize the time to rest and recuperate, while thinking about the plan for a few days later. He did not dare to be vague about this plan, because it was a matter of fate for him and his men.

The other officers and soldiers did not think about it as much as Pang Yue, and after a long march of more than ten days, it was rare to have such a two-day opportunity to relax, so everyone had a fairly comfortable life. During this period, the Wang Zhangtang that Pang Yue brought back from Hangzhou City attracted almost everyone's attention. When carrying grain and grass, he carried a large bag of 200 catties by himself, and in addition, his eyes also lit up when he saw those weapons in the barracks, and he casually pulled out a spear and danced vigorously, and then he couldn't even enjoy it. Seeing this, Pang Yue gave him his spear, which was made entirely of fine iron, to try. Wang Zhangtang took Pang Yue's spear and practiced it in the open space after a few strokes, picking or stabbing, spinning or blocking, every move and style was extremely powerful, and a silver spear flew up and down like a dragon in the water in his hand, which was dazzling, and provoked the onlookers next to him to cheer. After Wang Zhangtang put away his moves, he was addicted to it, and even called out the gun, but his hands were tightly grasping the spear and not letting go, without the slightest intention of returning it. Pang Yue had no choice but to promise him that he would have the opportunity to ask the best craftsman to make him a better one in the future, so that he would get his spear back.

Although Wang Zhangtang is a little tough, he is not a withdrawn person, and after getting along with everyone for a long time, the words gradually increased. At this time, Pang Yue learned that Wang Zhangtang was twenty-one years old this year, an obligor, who had a grievance in his hometown not long ago, and broke the leg of a bully who was bullying, and ran out to avoid the pursuit of the government. Wang Zhangtang was born in a military family, in the 38th year of Jiajing, when the famous general Qi Jiguang recruited more than 4,000 recruits in Yiwu, Zhejiang Province to start the formation of the famous Qi family army in later generations, Wang Zhangtang's great-grandfather was among the first batch of soldiers. After that, his great-grandfather participated in almost all the bloody battles against the Japanese with the army, the Battle of Taizhou, the Battle of Hengyu, etc., and then followed Qi Jiguang to the north to garrison Jiliao, and repeatedly made military exploits in the battle with the Mongols, and moved to Qianzong with military merits in just a few years. Later, Wang Zhangtang's great-grandfather returned to the field due to injury and illness, and sent his grown sons to the army to continue to complete his unfinished business. Since then, the male members of the Wang family have begun to devote themselves to the glorious army of the Qi family, and many family members have sacrificed their lives for the country, which is a good story in the local area. However, in the fourth year of Chongzhen's reign (1631), the battle of the Daling River, the Qi family's army, which had decades of glorious tradition, finally came to an end. In that battle, although the Qi family army fought bravely and killed countless enemies, it was still besieged by superior Jiannu and traitors, and finally the whole army was wiped out. In this battle, several of Wang Zhangtang's uncles also died heroically, and his father escaped the catastrophe because he was the eldest son in the family and wanted to take care of the family property and did not join the army. Since then, because the spiritual sustenance of the Wang family has become history, and most of the other Ming armies have bad military discipline and bad reputation, the descendants of the Wang family have given up joining the army, but the tradition of practicing martial arts has been passed down.

Hearing this, Pang Yue couldn't help but sigh in his heart, a family that is not a military family, but can serve the country for generations, how much consciousness and how strong loyalty does this require? Growing up in such a family, it is not surprising that Wang Zhangtang's courage to stand up and extraordinary skills came out. As soon as he thought of this, Pang Yue was even more glad that he didn't let such a talent run away, and soon arranged for Wang Zhangtang to be a flag chief under Lu Qiwu, in charge of three chiefs. Since Wang Zhangtang's martial arts are obvious to all, no one raised any objections. In addition, Pang Yue also made a series of promises to Wang Zhangtang: as long as he works hard, promotion is not a problem. This made Wang Zhangtang's willingness to stay in the army a little stronger. …,

*********

On 11 June, the situation really changed abruptly as Pang Yue remembered.

In the morning, Zhu Meng, the captain of Zhu Dadian's family, hurriedly came to the camp in the north of the city and found Pang Yue and Wang Dongri, saying that Zhu Dadian had something important to discuss. Seeing Zhu Meng's eagerness, Pang Yue and Wang Dongri didn't ask much, and after briefly explaining the affairs of the camp, they rushed to Hangzhou City with a few personal soldiers.

As soon as he entered the city, Zhu Meng did not lead Pang Yue and the others to Zhu Dadian's residence, but led them in another direction. After Pang Yue carefully identified the surrounding landforms, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and immediately reined in the horse's head. Seeing this, Wang Dongri and the others also stopped.

"General Pang, General Wang, why don't you leave?" Zhu Meng asked strangely.

Pang Yue frowned: "Brother Zhu, if I'm not mistaken, Master Zhu doesn't seem to live in this area." But the last time I went to meet His Royal Highness King Tang, I took this road. ”

Hearing Pang Yue say this, Wang Dongri was also surprised.

Zhu Meng hurriedly said: "Alas, it's all because I didn't make it clear." My husband said that he was waiting for the two of them at a nearby teahouse. Let me just lead you there. ”

Pang Yue and Wang Dongri glanced at each other, and a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes. But Pang Yue still gritted his teeth: "Since that's the case, then let's go on!" ”

After a while, the group came to the teahouse that Zhu Meng said. To Pang Yue's surprise, Zhu Dadian was already waiting at the door.

"Lord Zhu!" "Lord Zhu!" Pang Yue and Wang Dongri saluted one after another.

"You don't have to be polite, let's go in with the old man." Zhu Dadian's face was full of solemnity.

The group quickly went up to the second floor, and followed Zhu Dadian to the door of a private room in the deepest part, only to see that the second floor had been completely covered by Zhu Dadian, and each room was guarded by a family.

"You two just go in with the old man." Zhu Dadian said.

Pang Yue and Wang Dongri left their soldiers outside the door and followed Zhu Dadian into the private room. After sitting down, Zhu Dadian did not have the slightest nonsense, and directly told Pang Yue and Wang Dongri a major event. In the early hours of this morning, Chen Hongfan, an envoy sent by Zhu Changshu, the superintendent of the state, to "negotiate peace" with the Qing side a few days ago, rushed back overnight, but he did not bring back the so-called "peace." As early as the Hongguang Dynasty, he secretly surrendered to the Qing, and as soon as he returned to Hangzhou, he went with Zhang Bingzhen, the secretary of the military department, to persuade Zhu Changshu to surrender to the Qing. Zhu Changshu was also greedy for life and afraid of death, and after some persuasion by Chen and Zhang, he decided to hand over the surrender table to the Qing army. Although Zhu Changshu wanted to hide the news, he couldn't keep the fire in the paper, and soon, most of the officials in the city knew the news.

After listening to Zhu Dadian, Pang Yue, who was familiar with the direction of history, did not show much consternation, but just sighed that this moment had finally arrived. But Wang Dongri is different, not long ago the emperor was captured, and now the king of Lu, who is in charge of the country, is also preparing to surrender, facing such a situation where the building is about to collapse, he was dumbfounded.

Seeing Pang Yue's indifferent face, Zhu Dadian couldn't help but look at him even more, and at the same time, the uneasiness in his heart subsided a little.

"Mu Yuan, do you remember what you said to the old man in the alley in front of King Tang's mansion last time?" Zhu Dadian asked Pang Yue expressionlessly.

Pang Yue nodded: "What the humble post said that day, the humble position now remembers it, but I don't know which one Lord Zhu asked?" ”

Zhu Dadian said with a straight face: "After you finished speaking, the old man shouted the sentence that he didn't hear anything!" ”

Hearing Zhu Dadian say this, Pang Yue's heart suddenly chuckled, but after he had expected it, he continued to say: "Of course I remember that humble sentence. And, lowly office has always thought so! What's the matter, Master Zhu, what's wrong with this sentence? ”…,

Zhu Dadian didn't speak immediately, just stared at Pang Yue silently. Pang Yue thought that he had a clear feeling in his heart, and he was also boldly looking at Zhu Dadian.

After a long time, Zhu Dadian slowly spoke: "Mu Yuan is honest with the old man, and the old man will no longer hide anything." In the past two days, the old man has repeatedly observed, considered, and agreed with your words! Now that King Lu has decided to surrender, we don't expect anything from him! But as a courtier, the old man can't watch Daming end like this. Therefore, the old man has already discussed it with Lord Su Guansheng of the Tobu Langzhong......"

When Zhu Dadian said this, he paused. Although Pang Yue was still calm on the surface, his heart was already pounding. Wang Dongri also waited nervously for Zhu Dadian's next words.

"We decided to support the King of Tang and leave Hangzhou to go to him to handle the affairs of the prison country!" Although Zhu Dadian's voice was not loud, this sentence was loud as soon as he came out!

Hearing Zhu Dadian say this, Pang Yue was stunned for a moment at first, but then there was a burst of joy in his heart! It's finally time to wait for this moment! In the original history, Zhu Dadian and Tang King Zhu Yujian did not have any intersection, so before Zhu Yujian went to Fujian, Zhu Dadian had returned to his hometown. But now, through a series of actions, he first kept Zhu Dadian to walk with him, and then met the king of Tang on the road, which indirectly created an opportunity for Zhu Dadian to contact the king of Tang, thus pulling Zhu Dadian into the team of supporting the king of Tang! As long as Zhu Dadian can occupy an important position in the future Longwu Dynasty, his career will undoubtedly be a little more helpful!

"But the old man and Master Su are both civil ministers, and they don't have a single soldier in their hands, so they ......" Zhu Dadian looked at Pang Yue tentatively.

Before Zhu Dadian finished speaking, Pang Yue, who had already prepared, stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Pang Yue and his soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion are ready to be dispatched by Lord Zhu at any time!" ”

Seeing Pang Yue's actions, Wang Dongri hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and stood up and hugged Zhu Dadian: "The soldiers of the Zhenwei Battalion and his subordinates are willing to obey Lord Zhu's dispatch!" ”

Zhu Dadian breathed a sigh of relief, and finally a smile appeared on his face: "Okay! So much better! ”
