Chapter 535 The seeds finally germinate
Coincidentally.
There is also a military camp in the city, and such events are also being staged.
That is the remnant of Qian Sudian.
However, Qian Sudian's troops were imperial guards after all, and their "components" were much better than Wang Zhiren's navy.
Therefore, the soldiers are still relatively "polite" and their words and deeds are also much more "elegant".
It was dark and hundreds of people sat at the door of Qian Sudian's "official residence" without saying a word (a small courtyard temporarily requisitioned).
Qian Sudian stood at the door with a gloomy face, and he was in a dilemma.
The soldiers refused to eat and went on a hunger strike.
After hearing that the imperial court ordered the Ming army in Jiangbei to withdraw to the south bank within a specified period, hundreds of people began to sit here.
"Do you want to rebel?" Qian Sudian shouted, "You are soldiers or not thieves, you have to obey orders if you are soldiers!"
One of the soldiers stood up and said, "You are right. If you are a soldier, you have to obey the orders. But there is still a difference between this order and the order. I can't wait to get rid of my life!"
"Rareless! This is an imperial edict of the court, how can one get life out of trouble!"
"Your Madam doesn't have to be angry. Is your life a mess? You know in your heart, and we... I know. My subordinates just want to ask you for an explanation for your brothers, and I hope you can solve the doubts in our hearts!"
"explain."
"The Qing army in Yangzhou is empty. After we take Jiangdu, even if we don't attack north, it will be easy to defend. Is this the truth?"
"That's right. But the 80,000 Qing troops in Xuzhou went south and approached Jiangdu."
"Okay, sir, right. It's true that 80,000 Qing troops approach the river, but behind us are the Duke Xingguo 20,000 naval forces and the Duke Zhenguo tens of thousands of troops. Let's not talk about whether the Qing court dared to fight our army in Yangzhou. Even if it was, our army would not have the power to fight. Do you agree with this?"
Qian Sudian said angrily: "This is not something you should consider. Your duty is to obey orders! Do you understand what you obey orders?"
The army suddenly knelt down on one knee and cried, "We also want to obey orders. Beizhi still has a small family in Yingtian Mansion. How can we not know the consequences of disobeying? But Beizhi dare not obey orders... Beizhi is afraid of retreating by obeying orders. I am sorry for the heroic spirits who have not yet left the 20,000 brothers."
These words of joining the army caused countless sobs in the venue.
A general flag in his thirties stood up and bowed, "Sir, the three brothers in the family are two. In this battle, my brothers and the third brothers all died in Yizhen City. I pity my third brother, who was three arrows in the chest and abdomen, but he was not dead... He was so painful that he died, oh... Can you tell me, what did the third brother of the third brother shout before he died?"
Qian Sudian's face turned pale. He couldn't speak because as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes.
"My third brother shouted, Second brother, Brother, you have to go back alive, your parents rely on second brother... Bei Zhi can go back alive now, but when you go back like this, how can you face your parents? Let Bei Zhi tell them, are the eldest brother and third brother dead in vain... Woo."
Retreat is different from retreat.
Although there is a kind of victory called retreat, it is obviously not in line with the current situation.
Yizhen and Jiangdu have killed more than 20,000 people.
The retreat at this time is equivalent to handing over the second city to Qing. How can this group of men who escaped from death convince?
They would rather die in that final charge without this rescue and without reinforcements, so that they could see their comrades who had already left one step ahead of them with peace of mind.
The most miserable thing in the world is not always failure, but giving people hope and then resolutely taking away their hope.
They want to win, they want to win, and keep winning!
Only victory can allow them to face the 20,000 departed comrades in the dead of night.
A man doesn’t cry easily, but he hasn’t reached the sad place.
The big and thick men, the man who fought bloody battles with the enemy, cried in front of everyone, making the listeners cry.
The army joined the army shouted: "Twenty thousand heroes are watching in heaven. Brothers, can we go back like this?"
"No!" The sound shook the sky and it never dissipated for a long time.
Qian Sudian gritted his teeth and said, "Tomorrow morning, the entire army will retreat. Those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law!"
After saying that, turn around and get started.
Qian Sudian wants to go back, he must go back.
It’s not that he is cruel, nor that he doesn’t consider the demands of the soldiers and cannot understand the voices of the soldiers.
In fact, he didn't want to retreat than the soldiers.
Qian Sudian was admitted to the hospital and walked into the right wing room.
After closing the door of the right wing, he cried silently.
I have to go back.
My nephew Qian Qiaogong specially sent someone to deliver a letter to tell him that the capital city would change drastically, and the court would support the former crown prince and ascend the throne to the emperor.
Qian Sudian understood that this retreat was an exchange of interests between the court and the Qing court.
Until now, is there any possibility of peace between the Ming and Qing people?
I'm afraid that every Mingren in Jiangnan understands this in his heart, and he will live to the death.
But Qian Sudian didn't understand why this was the case?
Why must it be now?
Princess Changping is also the flesh and blood of the late emperor. She reigned the country and recaptured Yingtian Prefecture like the Qingtai Dynasty. It can be said that Princess Changping has done her duty.
Yes, a country cannot have a king for a day, but do you have to hurry at this time?
When the situation stabilizes, can't we slowly take action?
Giving hand over the results of more than 20,000 lives?
Qian Sudian felt an inexplicable indignation in his heart, and he had to stop it!
But he knew that this was to fight with the court and the world. What made him most worried was to fight with his brother.
"The road is long and arduous, and I will search up and down..." Qian Sudian recited softly, and a tragic sense of mission arose in his heart.
During the days when the Qian family's uncle and nephew followed Wu Zheng, they were greatly influenced by Wu Zheng.
Although Wu Zheng’s philosophy is inaccurate, it is also called a philosophy.
Many times, what Wu Zheng said was always out of his mouth, without the primary and secondary, without the system, or even confusing.
But this is enough. For young talents like Qian Sudian, Qian Qiaogong, Xia Wanchun, etc., Wu Zheng's words are equivalent to opening a window for them.
Faced with the difficult situation, the elderly advocate repairs, while the young people look forward to changes.
Change is the beginning of a revolution.
Do what you think is right, even if you give everything for it, including life.
These young people have enough knowledge and are full of energy, can accept new things, and can think independently of themselves. They can debate the right or wrong of the ideas Wu Zheng said, and can constantly repair, improve, gradually mature and form their own systems.
Xia Wanchun even proposed to form an alliance like "several societies" to attract more like-minded people to come in and grow stronger.
And this gradually matured and self-organized concept was the four most common words in the court at this time, which were the anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty.
However, influenced by Wu Zheng, they added eight-character comments after these four words - expelling the Tartars and reviving the Han Ming!
Qian Sudian and others agreed with Wu Zheng’s view that the Ming Dynasty should not be the Ming Dynasty with one surname, but the Ming Dynasty of the Han people all over the world, for the Han Ming Dynasty!
