Chapter 1947 Jier Harang is here
In this battle, Chen Zhiyuan led the spearhead to defeat the more with fewer spearheads and the weak defeat the strong.
Prince Yue Le of Qing'an fought to the end, and only dozens of cavalry remained beside him. Facing Chen Zhiyuan, he led his people and finally committed suicide on the shore of Mushui.
The Mushui flows from north to south, flowing through the battlefield waters. The river water is red and will not dissipate for more than a month.
According to historical records, this battle was the "Tancheng Battle", but the number of casualties in our army and the number of casualties in the Qing army was recorded, but it was recorded generally as a great victory.
But the people around Mushui called this battle the "Four Days of Demon-killing Demons", which shows how fierce the battle is and how cruel the means are.
Whenever a child cries, he will use a cry of "Be careful to attract evil ghosts from Muhe" to intimidate him, and the child cries will stop.
Our leader Shen Zhiyuan became famous in one battle, and finally fulfilled his dream of becoming a Confucian general when he was young, but he was also described by the people as "Zhong Kui at that time".
What a pity for our handsome handsome face of Mr. Chen.
....
The east and west routes were victories one after another, and the gates of the Qing court's capital had already opened to the northern expedition army.
The people from all over the Yangtze River cheered.
No matter what kind of dreams and expectations you have, sending your nephew to the battlefield has become something that everyone wants to do or is doing for a while.
In Wu Zheng's words, the only thing we don't lack now is people.
Just as Wu Zheng said to Ajige two years ago that we only have no shortage of money, at this moment, this is true.
The people even don’t want the settlement fee they paid before joining the army.
Although Wu Zheng didn't want to save himself, he was forced to do so under the persuasion of all the generals and nodded due to the situation.
Anyone, you can’t be too proud after all!
A penny can't kill a hero!
This is not a false statement.
After more than a year of war, the Northern Expedition Army has fought for more than 200,000, and the casualties have not been less than 40,000, but after summarizing it, there are 280,000.
This made Wu Zheng secretly happy while shook his head and sighed.
With too many troops, it is naturally a good thing for the Northern Expedition.
But 280,000 mouths are not that easy to fool.
The large inclusion of new recruits forced all units and guards to temporarily enter rest.
This directly causes the speed of northward advance to be hysteresis.
Because one thing must be faced directly, that is, the supply of firearms and ammunition cannot be achieved.
Wu Zheng has issued orders several times to order the General's Mansion to expand the Songjiang Military Workshop.
He even ordered Song An to take over the security of the military workshop with Changlin Wei.
However, the messages sent back are the same... take time.
Not only Wu Zheng felt depressed, but also the soldiers of the army north of Yangzhou and Huai'an felt incredible.
Could it be that the family's fortune is really empty?
I was so humble that I couldn’t even lift the last kick?
Wu Zheng decided to return to Hangzhou Prefecture and go to supervise the construction himself.
But things in the world are always unsatisfactory. Wu Zheng is trying to leave, but he can't.
....
Jirgalang led the Qing mission to come.
Nearly sixty years old, the only remaining "Uncle King" in the Qing Dynasty came. Wu Zheng was given this "face".
No matter whether the enemy and our camps are in opposition, just talk about the activities of Jiergalang in private with the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, Wu Zheng also needs to give him this thin face.
Furthermore, the other person at least married his granddaughter to Qian Qiaogong. Speaking of which, it was somewhat related to Wu Zheng.
Wu Zheng originally wanted to postpone his return to Hangzhou Prefecture by one day.
But after talking to Jirgalang, the idea of returning to Hangzhou Prefecture was no longer found.
Jirgalang came to the peace talks on behalf of the Qing court.
Peace talks?
At this time, it would be too late to negotiate.
Wu Zheng was not interested in this.
Kejirgalang's next words made Wu Zheng slowly change his mind.
"Retreat outside the pass?" Wu Zheng was shocked. Why did he sound like he smelled the breath of conspiracy?
The old god Jiergalang was rubbing his head on the ground and said, "My Qing Dynasty entered the pass, and was invited by Wu Sangui, the former general of Shanhaiguan of the Ming Dynasty, to help the Ming Dynasty quell the rebellion. Now that Li thieves have been destroyed, the world is peaceful... Since the people of the Central Plains do not want to be my Qing people, our dynasty has planned for the world's creatures and want to retreat outside the pass..."
Wu Zheng was a little nauseous, can you tell me the reason?
"Who is Wu Sangui?"
Jirgalang was stunned, stopped talking nonstop, and looked at Wu Zheng in surprise.
Wu Zheng slowly sipped the tea in his hand, spit out a tender leaf in a sip.
Tsk tsk, how does this look look like the demeanor of His Highness, the King of Wu, the governor?
This is a gangster at a tea stall on the street.
However, Jirgalang's face couldn't help but become solemn.
No one can understand, but Jirgalang understands.
He had face-to-face with Wu Zheng and had three dealings. Jirgalang knew that what Wu Zheng was best at was not to reason, but to be unreasonable... No, no, to be precise, he only talked about his own truth!
In layman's terms, it's... a rogue!
Wu Zheng is denying it!
I don’t know who Wu Sangui is, so I naturally don’t agree with the use of troops to quell the rebellion. Then, the Manchus are invading!
If it is an invasion, it must be counter-aggression. If it is a victory, it must be recovered with principal and interest.
The reason is right?
This is what Wu Zheng said.
Jirgalang was right and he started to reason.
"The King of Wu can tell that there are nearly ten million people in our capital...that is a million army!"
"Whose capital and whose people?" Wu Zheng sneered, "I think I know the wars in Yanzhou and Qingzhou, and I must have heard of countless troops around Daming Prefecture changing flags and flags... Even if I can really organize a million troops, in my eyes, it is no different from a native chicken and a tile dog!"
This is unreasonable, but Jiergalang was mentally prepared. He said casually: "Every family has a difficult sutra... As far as I know, the rear of the King of Wu... is afraid it will be difficult to continue at this time?"
Wu Zheng's face changed, but he quickly replied, smiling self-deprecatingly, "The old uncle is laughing at me... The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds... Who can't have a few bad sheep? But there is no need for the old uncle to worry about me, everything is over!"
"I'm afraid it's not that easy, right?" Jiergalang looked at Wu Zheng with a smile, "The King of Wu's method of making money with nothing is indeed mysterious... I, countless officials of the Qing Dynasty, sent white money to the King of Wu's arms, and even I cannot escape the vulgarity."
Wu Zheng's face changed again. He put down the teacup and replied, looking up and smiling: "The tricks of devils are hard to reach the elegance... It makes the old uncle and king laugh!"
"The King of Wu's methods are indeed mysterious. He plays the world's people in his palms without any effort... However, the world's people are not so easy to deceive. There are always people with discerning eyes, and there are always people with smart people... to break it!"
Wu Zheng could no longer laugh. He knew that this old guy was prepared.
Jiergalang said: "The capital of Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce has exceeded 360 million taels of silver... The King of Wu knows how many of the subjects in our dynasty have taken up?"
Wu Zheng did not answer that the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce had just recovered Hangzhou Prefecture and obtained the support of the Mo family before it became a prototype.
