Qian Sudian and Xia Wanchun were effectively executing Wu Zheng's orders.

Only siege but not attack, to be precise, only feint attack but not force attack.

This made the defenders in Suzhou City not know the background of the Ming army outside the city, so they dared not go out of the city to fight easily.

The defenders in Suzhou City were not many, only 28,000.

This is not much relative, for example, in this battle with Wu Zheng, the total force mobilized.

But for a big city and a strong city, 28,000 people are enough to resist the siege of 100,000 troops.

On the evening of March 13th.

Wu Zheng led his troops to meet with Qian Sudian and Xia Wanchun.

This is the first time Wu Zheng has seen Xia Wanchun.

Looking at this boy who was two years younger than him, Wu Zheng felt excited to cry.

He had heard of the deeds of this hero in his past life.

This is a person with a better literary talent than himself. He knew the Five Classics at the age of five, was able to write poetry at the age of seven, wrote "Daimu Collection" at the age of nine, joined the army to fight against the Qing Dynasty at the age of fourteen, got married at the age of fifteen, and was forced by his father Xia Yunyi, and died bravely at the age of seventeen.

He was famous for his angrily rebuked Hong Chengchou before his death.

At that time, Xia Wanchun was defeated and captured and taken to Nanjing. Hong Chengchou personally interrogated and persuaded the surrender, saying, "How can a boy know? How can he be called a rebellious soldier? He accidentally fell into the middle of a thief! He should surrender without losing his official position."

Xia Wanchun stood upright and did not kneel down, pretending not to know that the interrogation official was a traitor Hong Chengchou, and replied loudly: "I heard that Mr. Hengjiu (Hong Chengchou's name is a hero in this dynasty, the battle of Songshan and Xingshan, blood splattered in Zhangqu. The previous emperor was shocked and praised and moved the Chinese and foreigners. I always admire his loyalty and wiseness. Even though I was young, I would kill myself to serve the country, so how could I let it go!"

When the left and right officers told him that the "master" in the hall was Hong Chengchou, Xia Wanchun said even more sternly: "Mr. Hengjiu has been dead for a long time, and everyone in the world has heard of it. He once sacrificed to seven altars. The emperor came in person, and his tears filled the dragon's face and the ministers were sobbing. How dare you, a traitor, believing that you dare to entrust his name to defile your loyalty and soul!"

Hong Chengchou was frustrated and had no words to respond.

Later, Xia Wanchun was executed in the west city of Nanjing. The so-called crime was summarized as "Tonghai Pirates as foreign aid, Zhenhujie as internal response, secretly documented memorials and listed the ranks of civil and military officers."

Before his death, Xia Wanchun left a book written by his mother in prison. Whenever he read it, tears would come out.

Xia Wanchun only left his wife Qian Qinzhuan, daughter and child, but unfortunately he died after his birth, and the Xia family has lost his inheritance since then.

Wu Zheng lost control for a moment when such a hero stood in front of him.

He stepped forward and hugged Xia Wanchun, but refused to let go for a long time.

So Qian Sudian had to force Wu Zheng's hand away with Xia Wanchun's begging and signaling.

Because of this, Xia Wanchun has since become a habit of not being within three feet of Wu Zheng.

Of course, this is a later story.

In fact, Wu Zheng also realized that he had lost control at that time, but he suddenly let go, but he could not hide his ruthlessness.

Later, Qian Sudian came to pull himself away, but gave Wu Zheng a step forward.

"I am excited. The restoration of Jiaxing City depends entirely on Mr. Xia's contribution. This is equivalent to adding a barrier to Hangzhou Prefecture. Mr. Xia's contribution is in the country."

Wu Zheng praised him with great slander, in fact, in order to cover up his loss of composure and explain why he lost his composure.

Everyone present knew this, but they didn't know it.

Xia Wanchun formally bowed to the courtesy and said, "The student was formerly the magistrate of Changle County, Fujian, Fujian, and the head of the Ministry of Personnel Examination and Merits Office. Xia Wanchun, the Yizi, met Lin'an Bo, the commander and General Zhaoyong."

Wu Zheng hurriedly said, "No need to be polite. I heard that the orders of the emperor died for the country. The court, from the Superintendent of the State to the civil and military officials, were heartbroken. This time, the official came, and the Superintendent of the State specially issued an order, posthumously named Xia Gongyunyi as the Bo Chengyi and posthumously named Zhongjie."

Xia Wanchun exchanged tears and fell to the ground, "The student thanked the court for his father, thanked His Highness the Superintendent, and thanked Lin'anbo."

Wu Zheng's eyes were sore, and he said again: "According to the order of His Highness the Superintendent, Xia Wanchun was appointed as the Minister of the Secretariat, and he chose a date to go to Shaoxing Prefecture to take office."

Xia Wanchun was already choked and said nothing.

Qian Sudian and others helped Xia Wanchun up and sat down.

After about a stick of incense, Xia Wanchun gradually calmed down. He stood up and said, "Please report to the governor of Lin'an. I am frightened and want to join the army to avenge my father and revenge the country. The position of the court is pleading for your highness to hang up as appropriate. One day, when the Jiangnan is restored, I will go to Shaoxing to apologize to Your Highness."

Wu Zheng said: "Your Highness also takes into account the loyalty and martyrs of the Xia family. You are the only son and don't want to make this loyal and righteous family lose their successors in this world. What an unfortunate thing is this? I hope you understand your noble's wishes."

Xia Wanchun said firmly: "If you don't take revenge on your father's grudges, you won't be a son, and your country's grudges will not be destroyed. What is your minister? Please report to the governor of Lin'an to your country. Xia Wanchun is not afraid of life and death. Even if he dies, he will be a hero."

Wu Zheng held back the blood in his chest and said, "Well, since that's the case, you can serve as a military officer under my command."

Xia Wanchun pushed, saying, "I hope you can be kind to you. Please allow Wanchun to lead the army alone under the command of yourselves."

Wu Zheng had good intentions and always took Xia Wanchun by his side, so he was safer. To be honest, from the moment he learned that Xia Wanchun and Qian Sudian earned Jiaxing City, Wu Zheng swears not to let this young hero feel hatred again.

Let him live and live well.

But now seeing Xia Wanchun's determination, Wu Zheng not only hesitated.

At this time, Qian Sudian stepped forward and said, "Sir, most of the people in the rebel army that have served are for the names of Xia Wanchun and his father. It is safer to be commanded by Xia Wanchun."

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "That's fine, then I will give you the position of Deputy Commander of Hangzhou Guard and also lead... What's the name of the rebel army?"

Xia Wanchun said: "Our army was the last emperor and mourning for his father, so it was named Baiguojun."

"Okay. Then I will give you the position of deputy commander of Hangzhou Guard and also the position of governor of the White Turban Army."

"Sir Xie."

Wu Zheng swept to everyone.

Xia Wanchun stood up straight and introduced to Wu Zheng: "This is Wu Yi, the former Hongguang dynasty, the loyal and righteous boss of Wu Yi."

Wu Zheng looked at him. A tall, middle-aged man with a tall figure and a scholarly look bowed to him and said, "I have met Lin'an Bo."

Wu Zheng bowed and returned the courtesy, "Zhongyi Bo is polite."

The two said they were both counts, but their identities were very different. One was the count of the previous dynasty and the other was the current count.

There is a world of difference in nature.

So, etiquette is one thing, importance is another.

Fortunately, Wu Yi did not rely on his own identity as an earl and took the initiative to introduce himself to Wu Zheng: "I am a Jinshi in the 16th year of Chongzhen. When King Fu was in power, I went to Yangzhou to join the Shige Department and was appointed as the head of the Shige Department and supervising the army. At the beginning of last year, I was ordered to go to Jiangnan to raise food and grass, but before I could return to Yangzhou, I had to lead a fleet to Wujiang. I didn't expect Wujiang to be lost. I could only go to Taihu to camp, and then formed a White Treasure Party with Sun Zhaokui, a juren of the same town, and Shen Zigu, a student, to rise up against the Qing Dynasty. Later, the King of Lu was supervised and was granted the title of Zhongyi Bo."
