By the time Zhu Ma arrived, the Ming army just repelled another attack from the Qing army.

Without much talk with Chen Sheng, Zhu Mai immediately devoted himself to comforting and condolences to the soldiers. Especially for the injured soldiers, Zhu Mai even surrendered his nobleness and asked about his well-being.

This woman has a natural political mind and knows how to win people's hearts and strong morale.

At this time, Zhu Mai saw two familiar figures and froze for a moment.

Zhou Simin and Wu Xiaomei were lowering their heads to take care of the injured soldiers, stained with blood on their hands.

Maybe they are gazed, or maybe women are born with a sixth sense, and the two of them look up and stand up straight.

The three of them looked at each other silently. After a long time, Zhou Simin hesitated for a while and stepped forward to salute Zhu Mei and said, "I have seen Your Highness the Princess."

Wu Xiaomei bowed and bowed.

Zhu Mo looked at Zhou Simin who was already slightly showing, his eyes shrank, and he angrily said, "We are already pregnant, why don't we rest at home?"

Then, without waiting for Zhou Simin to answer, he turned to Wu Xiaomei and said, "You wait for the two of you to do your best for the soldiers. This palace will reward you with good health on behalf of the court."

Unexpectedly, Wu Xiaomei said in a humble and arrogant manner, "The little girl is not talented, she doesn't have such a compassionate heart..."

Speaking of this, Wu Xiaomei pointed to the wounded soldiers and said, "They are all children of Shaoxing and are also soldiers under my brother's command. I will help you just for my brother, and you don't need to reward His Royal Highness."

Zhu Mei was pushed by Wu Xiaomei, and she realized that her tone was too superior, but her character could not tolerate bowing to others in public, so she ignored Wu Xiaomei and turned to Zhou Simin and said, "Are there many wounded soldiers in the city?"

Chen Sheng, who was accompanying him, waved his hands to the soldiers around him tactfully, and then bowed to Zhu Mai.

Zhu Mai did not stop Chen Sheng.

Zhou Simin replied, "The battle is fierce, and there are no less than a thousand soldiers in the city. The women in the people volunteered to take care of the injured soldiers, but the medicine is still insufficient."

Zhu Meiyu nodded and said, "When I came here, I had already collected all the wounded medicines from all the pharmacies in Shaoxing Prefecture, and took half to the post pavilion, and half to this place. You go and let General Chen hand over it."

Zhou Simin knew that this was helping him, so she responded, shook Wu Xiaomei, and turned around.

Zhu Mo looked at Wu Xiaomei calmly, wondering why she felt indescribable to this little girl, and always felt like... she was close to her.

At this time, Wu Xiaomei didn't think so. She stared at Zhu Fei with her eyes, as if she was looking at her own enemy.

Although Zhu Mai was not old, she had experienced a lot. She had already realized where Wu Xiaomei's hostility towards her came from.

When she disguised herself as a man in Wuzhuang that day, Wu Xiaomei asked about her well-being and caring for her, and she found an excuse to see her from time to time.

At that time, Zhu Mai had already guessed something.

Therefore, Zhu Mai Shi didn't blame Wu Xiaomei for staring at her so rudely.

"Miss Wu, I didn't offend you, why did you stare at me like this?"

After being asked by Zhu Mai, Wu Xiaomei also felt her ruthlessness and blushed and replied, "The princess is misunderstood. How dare the little girl disrespect your highness."

Zhu Mai smiled and said, "You and I have a strong relationship. When I was in Wuzhuang, didn't you call me Mr. Zhou? Why are you so unfamiliar now?"

Wu Xiaomei replied, "But you are not Mr. Zhou, you are Princess Changping."

Zhu Mai sighed when she heard this, "It's a pity that why were you born in the imperial family? Miss Wu, ordered your brother to lead the army to the northern expedition. Didn't you send someone to take you and Mr. Wu to Hangzhou Prefecture and stay away from this dangerous place?"

Wu Xiaomei replied, "Brother sent two groups of people, but my father refused to leave Wuzhuang. He said that the Wu family ancestral hall was here. He wanted to be a Ming person in his life, and he was also a Ming ghost when he died."

Zhu Xixiu praised, "Old Wu is indeed a loyal and righteous person!"

Wu Xiaomei suddenly turned cold and said, "Is this what you said to everyone who is fighting for the Zhu family, and then they will shed the last drop of blood for the Zhu family?"

After saying that, Wu Xiaomei couldn't even give in and turned around and left.

Zhu Mei opened her mouth lightly, looked at Wu Xiaomei's back with a confused look, and was stunned.

Uncle Zheng beside him said, "This little woman really doesn't understand etiquette. The old slave scolded her and asked her to apologize to Your Highness."

Zhu Mai shook her head and said, "No need. When you think about it, her words are not unreasonable. But it is not completely reasonable. The Zhu family is not a family of one family, but the world, and the world is the world! At least this is true in Jianlu's eyes."

Uncle Zheng nodded repeatedly and said, "Your Highness is right, this world belongs to the Zhu family."

"You misunderstood. What I said is that the Zhu family is now a flag for the Ming people in the world, a flag for the Qing Dynasty."

Uncle Zheng was stunned.

Zhu Mai smiled self-deprecatingly, "Do you think this is not suitable for me to say this? Do you think this is familiar?"

Uncle Zheng was even more shocked.

"I originally thought he was a fallacy, but I kept going, especially after taking office as the governor, I realized that the Zhu family was ashamed of owing much to the people of the Ming Dynasty. If one day... the Zhu family lost all the hearts of the people of the world, they could... take it calmly."

From this day on, there were three women with special identities in Fenghui City who were very concerned about the soldiers and caring for them.

They were competing against each other.

The soldiers who did not understand the inside story were indescribable to express their feelings. This emotion turned into a fighting spirit, which was invincible.

For three days, the Qing army outside the city did not gain a single advantage.

Fenghui City has always been firmly in the hands of the Ming army, and no matter how much land it is lost.

....

The news that his father, sister and Zhou Simin refused to leave Wuzhuang made Wu Zheng, who had just arrived outside Changzhou City very worried.

He sent a messenger again and ordered Chen Sheng to force his father and others to avoid Pinggang Mountain Village when he had no choice.

Wu Zheng knew that he had no time left. If he did not capture Changzhou immediately, he would be meaningless to threaten Yingtian Prefecture, and it would be impossible to force the Tatars in the south to stop attacking Shaoxing Prefecture.

Once the plan to surround Wei and save Zhao fails, Shaoxing Prefecture will be lost and relatives will fall into the enemy area, which will be too great.

After a night of repair, Wu Zheng brazenly ordered to attack Changzhou City.

At this time, Wu Zheng had only more than 6,000 troops, which included the Song An army who came to meet.

It is difficult to attack a tightly defended Changzhou City with more than 6,000 people.

Especially after two failures, Hong Chengchou was more cautious in addition to cars.

Hong Chengchou knew that it was impossible to hide the news of the two defeats, so he dispatched 8,000 defenders from Zhenjiang to help Changzhou, and asked for reinforcements to the capital.

But one thing is clear: at this time, there were indeed no established Qing troops east of Yingtian Prefecture, north of Changzhou, and south of the Yangtze River.
