Chapter 654 Long live the Northern Expedition

On the way, Zhou Simin hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but ask, "Little sister, is there still a shortage of gentlemen in the school?"

Wu Xiaomei said casually: "No shortage. The court has not been in charge of the imperial examination for many years. There are countless scholars in Jiangnan. Juren have no way to enter the officialdom and can only stay at home. Now, once his brother recruits a gentleman from both governments, he will be given a generous salary and will also be given the corresponding eighth to ninth ranks. If the applicants are like crucian carp crossing the river, how can they lack a gentleman?"

Zhou Simin sighed for no reason.

Wu Xiaomei was stunned, "Do you want to be a sir?"

Zhou Simin shook her head and said, "I am married as a wife, how can I show up in public... Wouldn't it be a shame for the Wu family and husband?"

Wu Xiaomei laughed out loud, "Are you worried about my father, my brother objecting? Don't worry, my father will definitely not object, brother... This matter is with me, I'll tell him... it's not right, don't you go back to the capital?"

Zhou Simin replied worriedly: "If you don't want to go back, you have to listen to your husband."

Wu Xiaomei thought for a while, her hands tightened and said, "Then I won't go back. I'll take charge of this matter. Why should the family separate? If my brother dares to force you to return to Beijing, I'll talk to him! Let's go and see my father first."

....

At this time, there were already crowds of people on the pier.

The city was almost empty, and the people rushed to the dock to welcome their heroes.

Victory is the most effective way to unite everyone.

Even the person who complains about Wu Zheng behind his back could not care about it at this time.

Victory.

Not only did he win, but he also recovered Ningbo Prefecture. Including Jinhua, there were two more places under the rule of the General's Mansion.

This extra one is a real benefit.

The two governments have a population of nearly 500,000, and the government can receive taxes, merchants can obtain markets and profits, and the people are honored.

Who is not the beneficiary?

The moment Wu Zheng came ashore, the call of "Long live the general" and "Long live the Duke of Zhenguo" erupted again on the dock.

Unlike last time, this time it was more powerful, more uniform and more powerful.

Wu Zheng, who was standing at the bow of the boat, couldn't help feeling relaxed and happy.

He shouted vigorously: "Long live the Northern Expedition Army!"

This voice obviously could not exceed the shouts of tens of thousands of people, but the officials and soldiers around Wu Zheng heard it clearly.

After they were slightly stunned, Zhang Huangyan shouted the first "Long live the Northern Expedition Army" in agreement.

So, countless voices sounded, "Long live the Northern Expedition Army!"

Complementing with the shouts on the shore.

....

After Wu fought ashore, he immediately learned that Qian Sule was on behalf of the court to go on an envoy to Hangzhou Prefecture and was waiting at the General's Mansion.

I also learned that Zhou Simin had come to Hangzhou, and I also learned that Qian Jinxuan came with Qian Sule.

Wu Zheng was both happy and worried.

Happy that Zhou Simin is safe.

What I was worried about was that I could not explain Qian Sule's death to the country.

On the way to the General's Mansion.

Zhang Guowei and others believed that at this time, they would just ask them to tell Qian Sule the truth first, and then wait for Qian Sule to slow down and Wu Zheng went to see him again, so that conflict could be avoided.

When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Wu Zheng declined the suggestions of Zhang Guowei and others and decided to explain to Qian Sule himself.

In the inner courtyard of the General's Mansion, on the way to Wu Zheng's study room.

Qian Sule looked at Wu Zheng in surprise, then looked at Zhang Guowei and others who were accompanying him.

Wu Zheng's attentiveness was a bit too much.

He was helping himself walk.

Although Wu Zheng has always respected himself, this kind of "treatment" has never been seen before.

And everyone is avoiding their own gaze.

The so-called abnormality is a monster.

Qian Sule realized something was wrong. Did Wu Zheng have learned about the changes in the capital and decided to rebel?

Thinking of this, Qian Sule suddenly stood in front of the study, "Duke Zhenguo first explains clearly, is something wrong?"

Wu Zheng was silent for a while, pushed the golden mountain and turned the jade pillar, knelt down to Qian Sule, and then raised his head and said, "Please mourn your father-in-law and mourn your father-in-law. The commander of the Hangzhou Guard, ordered his brother Qian Sudian to sacrifice his country heroically when attacking Ningbo City. The son-in-law was incompetent and did not take good care of his uncle Jiu. Please punish him!"

Qian Sule was stunned, really stunned.

"Isn't it a victory?" Qian Sule asked unconsciously, "Su Dian is the commander, how could he be killed in battle?"

Wu Zheng was speechless and could only bow his head and remain silent.

Everyone bowed their heads and was silent.

After a while, Qian Sule's voice became calm, "I probably understood that Ningbo Prefecture is my hometown and Sudian. Being able to die at the door of my house is worthy of the elders and ancestors of my hometown... You get up. Sudian died for the country and died as much as possible, no wonder you."

Wu Zheng was a little surprised. At this time, Qian Sule's body suddenly shook slightly, and Wu Zheng quickly got up to support him.

Qian Sule panted and asked, "Su Dian is dead, where is my son Qiao Gong?"

Wu Zheng was stunned. How did he answer?

"Where is my son Qiao Gong?" Qian Sule shouted sternly when he saw Wu Zheng not answering.

At this time, Zhang Guowei stepped forward and said, "Taifu, this is really no wonder the general. The imperial court previously designated the Jiangbei Navy as a rebel, so the general naturally could not accommodate the rebels. It made the son worried that Yi Zhen's remnants, so he privately... crossed the sea northward, and accompanied him were Shen Zhiyuan, the deputy deputy of the Pinggang Mountain, and three hundred musketeers."

Qian Sule grabbed Wu Zheng's clothes and shouted, "You go into the house with me."

Then he shouted at Zhang Guowei and others: "No one is allowed to enter!"

Zhang Guowei frowned and said, "Please ask the Grand Tutor to mourn... Please let the Grand Tutor let go of the general."

Song An was anxious and stepped forward and said, "The Grand Tutor is respectful, this is the General's Mansion."

Wu Zheng waved his hand and said, "Let's retreat first, let's talk about anything tomorrow."

Everyone dispersed helplessly.

Qian Sule pulled Wu Zheng into the study and slapped Wu Zheng in the face as soon as he entered.

Wu Zheng stood up, looking at Qian Sule, silent.

Qian Sule gasped for a while and asked in hatred: "Do you know why I hit you?"

Wu Zheng replied: "Brother-in-law blamed me for not taking good care of Uncle Jiu and his wife and brother-in-law."

Qian Sule trembled with his fingers and pointed Wu Zheng, "Four years... You were a teenager at that time, but now you are already a crown prince. You are still so cold. The soldiers and officials who follow you are all living people, and they all have children... Although one general has achieved success, can you think about the orphans and widows behind the soldiers when their blood is pouring out? Lun Gong, I don't blame you outside the study. But when you close the door, you are my son-in-law. Even if you don't want to be my son-in-law, I will still be your father-in-law after all. Sudian and Qiao Gong trust you and join your command, but you don't even understand how they die and why they die... You, you...!"

Qian Sule coughed violently.

Wu Zheng quickly patted his back, "My father-in-law breathed a sigh of relief first, and then teach Wu Zheng a lesson."

Qian Sule pushed Wu Zheng away hard, "Don't help me, let me sit down."

Wu Zheng had no choice but to take a step forward.
