The prisoner cart transporting Cao Huachun and Luo Yangxing was in a hurry, because although the imperial court sent a messenger to Ningbo to tell Zhang Chu that the emperor had agreed to his conditions and wanted Zhang Chu to stop attacking the surrounding prefectures, Zhang Chu still insisted on not stopping without seeing anyone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The expansion of the info security forces is still ongoing. The two of them had to hurry day and night, hoping to arrive a day earlier, and Zhang Chu's offensive could stop a day earlier.

The attack of the security army was like a bamboo, and in a few days it occupied a large area along the coast of Zhejiang, and Zhang Chu was not satisfied with this, and the fleet of the security army drove into the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at Shanghai. At this time, Shanghai was not an international metropolis, but Shanghai County had been established, and Shanghai gradually prospered due to the development of shipping and textiles.

The county commander of Shanghai County behaved very bravely in the face of the huge ships that were like mountains on the river, closed the city gates, organized soldiers and soldiers to prepare to defend, and sent people to Songjiang Prefecture for help. Zhang Chu led the fleet not in a hurry, swept all the ships on the river, firmly controlled the water, and sent people to land on Chongming Island at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and stationed troops on it.

When everything was stable, the security army sent men and horses to the city of Shanghai, and the warships on the river lined up, and the muzzles of the cannons were pointed at Shanghai County. The defenders of the city were terrified when they saw this formation, and knew that this last moment had come.

In order to reduce the damage to the city, Zhang Chu ordered to concentrate artillery fire on the city wall and try to avoid shelling the city.

The Ming army guarding the city of Shanghai saw a completely different war, the large-caliber naval guns on the battleships on the river that fired first, the heavy shells flew up to the city under the impetus of gunpowder, and there was an explosion after landing, more than a dozen shells came down the enemy tower on the city gate collapsed, and the city wall was also damaged in many places, and the Ming army guarding the city head and preparing to meet the attack of the security army was killed and wounded dozens of people at once, and this was just a verification shot of the fleet, each ship had collected data, and then made corrections to prepare for large-scale shelling.

At this time, the soldiers defending the city made the right choice, first hung a white flag on the head of the city, and then the soldiers tied up the county order of Shanghai County and escorted them out of the city. This made the efforts of the security forces outside the city, who were holding their breath and preparing to practice the coordination of infantry and artillery with the support of new artillery, in vain.

Although Shanghai County is now only a small county town below Songjiang Prefecture, Zhang Chu knows his development potential. At the same time, Shanghai's location is also strategically important. It guarded the mouth of the Yangtze River and controlled the outlet of the Yangtze River shipping, and if the warships of the security army could threaten many cities along the Yangtze River, the warships could even reach Nanjing directly, which could pose a huge threat to the Ming court.

The occupation of Shanghai County by the security forces made the entire Songjiang Prefecture even more panicked, and the security forces continued to expand their attack range, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and soon the surrounding villages of Shanghai County were included in their sphere of influence. At this time, Cao Huachun and others were handed over to the security army, Zhang Chu really counted his words, and ordered the security army to stop the attack, choose a dangerous place to build a defensive line, and enter a defensive state on the whole line.

As an important part of the defense line, Shanghai is the focus of construction, Zhang Chu sent people to carefully survey the ground type, selected the construction site of the castle and the port, a large amount of cement sand and gravel was transported over, Zhang Chu wanted to build a fortress here that would not be broken for a hundred years. Zhang Chu's wish was that such a fortress would not work in the end, but only become a tourist attraction for future generations, and that keeping the enemy out of the country and not allowing the enemy to set foot on his territory was the highest state of defense.

Cao Huachun and Luo Yangxing were escorted to Zhang Chu, Luo Yangxing kowtowed vigorously on the ground and begged for mercy, but Cao Huachun knelt there with his head bowed and said nothing.

Luo Yangxing was completely frightened this time, he was born in the family of the eunuchs, is the hereditary commander of the Jinyi Guard, he has not suffered since he was a child, if he is pulled out and killed with a knife, maybe he can still hold on, but these days, he was loaded into a prisoner car and pulled all the way to Ningbo, of course, no one is polite to him a mortal person, there is no brocade clothes and jade food in the past, and the food that is difficult to swallow is replaced, Luo Yangxing can't even see what those foods are made of.

What's even worse is that the clothes have not been changed when he wears them, Luo Yangxing feels extremely itchy all over his body, and later he himself actually found lice inside, which makes Luo Yangxing extremely frightened. He didn't expect to be associated with this kind of thing in this life, and now this kind of life is really worse than death.

Luo Yangxing has been in Jinyiwei for many years, has seen a lot of life and death, and is used to seeing the miserable scene of people after being tortured. Unexpectedly, Zhang Chu hadn't been tortured yet, and he was defeated by this little lice.

Cao Huachun knelt there and felt discouraged, his mind was in a mess all the way, and he didn't even feel much physical pain.

He couldn't understand how the emperor, who had always been high, would bow his head to a thief, and would hand over him and Luo Yangxing to Zhang Chu for disposal, so where was the majesty of the emperor and the face of the Ming Dynasty.

He felt even more wronged by himself, following Emperor Chongzhen for so many years, he only had the emperor in his heart, and everything he did was for the emperor, but in this matter, the emperor never said a word for them from beginning to end.

"Stop shouting, look up and see if you still know me." Zhang Chu was very impatient with Luo Yangxing's plea and interrupted him loudly.

Cao Huachun and Luo Yangxing raised their heads in surprise, they already knew that it was Zhang Chu who wanted to see them, but they would never have thought that they and Zhang Chu had also met.

"It's you!" Cao Huachun and Luo Yangxing raised their heads, and finally saw the face of Zhang Chu sitting on it, this young man sitting behind the public desk in the lobby, with a smile on his face, they had indeed seen it, this was the young man who begged them to let the emperor appease the thieves.

"Well, we're meeting again. It seems that we have a good fate. Zhang Chu seems to be in a good mood.

"The world is impermanent." Cao Hua Chunchun couldn't help but sigh.

At the beginning, this young man knelt in front of him and begged in every possible way, so that he persuaded the emperor to agree to appease Zhang Chu, a group of thieves, which led to the later Shandong rebellion, the recovery of Liaodong and the occupation of today's Ningbo. He always thought that the person who came to do the business was just a relatively clever little boss under Zhang Chu, but he didn't expect Zhang Chu, a hero, to be so bold that he actually went to Beijing in person as a thief, and also transferred him and Luo Yang to deceive the group.

Last time, Zhang Chu was well-behaved like a cat. But at this time, Cao Huachun and Luo Yangxing had to kneel in front of Zhang Chu, and Zhang Chu was in control of their life and death.

"Lord Commander, spare your life. For the sake of the past, spare us. Luo Yangxing recognized Zhang Chu, and suddenly felt as if there was a glimmer of life. (To be continued.) )
