If it turned out, Wu Zheng would give the royal family some time to leave the country.

Then, the moment he received the urgent report from Jiaxing Prefecture, Wu Zheng was furious.

It is said that when the emperor is angry, blood flows away.

However, the princes were angry and did not give in.

Wu Zheng issued two orders in a row.

The royal family of the 11th government must be deported within three days.

The 20,000 troops of the First Northern Expedition gathered and went straight to Pingwang (the boundary of Suzhou Prefecture) through the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. Within one day, the troops arrived at Wujiang and pointed at Wuxian County (the capital of Suzhou Prefecture).

The imperial army stationed in Changzhou Prefecture rushed south upon hearing the news and the vanguard arrived in Wuxi.

A big battle is about to break out.

The people of the four prefectures, who had not encountered war in nearly three years, couldn't help but feel panic and began to pack up and prepare to flee.

However, one day later, the Wujiang Northern Expedition Army suddenly retreated.

The speed is amazing.

A war with swords on the strings suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see the difference between the two armies.

The Northern Expedition Army's withdrawal speed was too fast.

The advance and retreat of the 20,000 army was like flowing clouds and water, without any chaos.

However, when the Jingwei of Changzhou Prefecture at the same time, after the Northern Expedition Army retreated, the main force had not yet arrived in Wuxi, and only a vanguard of 3,000 people arrived.

People will die if they compare themselves, and goods will be lost if they compare themselves.

A layman watches the excitement, while an expert sees the tricks.

....

Qian Sule was not dead.

Zhang Xinxia and Xu San's Xiushui County garrison militia rescued him.

The Xiushui County Garrison, the garrison of Zhang Xinxia, ​​the deputy garrison of Xu San, and Xu San also served as the county magistrate of Xiushui County.

This militia is a special case under the rule of the General's Mansion.

The previous murder case of Huang Tuozi involved the Qing court's detailed crime in Xiushui. The people of Xiushui suffered huge casualties to fight against the lurking Qing army.

In order to reward those who have made contributions, Wu Zheng also considered the actual needs of freight transportation in the Grand Canal, he specially established the Xiushui militia group.

The function is to monitor canal freight transportation and protect land and people.

He also snatched the old Zhang head, who was originally the leader of the dock porter, as the garrison, and gave the name Zhang Xinxia.

At the same time, the special captain Xu San was appointed as the Xiushui County Magistrate (according to the Ming Dynasty, clerks were not destined to be officials).

Qian Sule was lucky. First, he was riding in a carriage instead of an official sedan chair, and second, the pursuers did not expect a militia to suddenly appear.

Near Wangjiangjing, Zhang Xinxia was patrolling with a hundred people from Xiushui militia, and happened to meet Qian Sule's carriage being chased by more than 20 cavalrymen.

Although I don’t know what happened, I don’t know who the person in the carriage is, nor do I know whether it’s right or wrong.

Zhang Xinxia is a rough man, born as a porter, and has a different idea from ordinary officials.

But Zhang Xinxia knew very well that in his own acre of three-point fields, the dragon was squatting and the tiger was squatting, and he wanted to get the portions and go somewhere else.

So, he led the militia to greet him without even asking questions.

The militia did not use swords, they used muskets, which was also the privilege given to them by Wu Zheng.

At that time, the dock seized a large number of muskets from the Qing army. Wu Zheng missed his contribution and specially allocated 300 muskets to equip the militia.

Therefore, looking at the cavalry who didn't even have military uniforms, Zhang Xinxia was worried that the cavalry would approach and after the warning was invalid, he resolutely ordered the cavalry to shoot.

After a hundred guns fired in a volley, seven or eight cavalry fell down, the rest of the cavalry saw that they were outnumbered, and they turned their horses and fled back.

Zhang Xinxia knew that he could not catch up, so he did not order to chase him.

He just saved Qian Sule and his group of three (with the other six guards of Qian Sule, he was killed for Qian Sule).

The seven horsemen who were knocked down by the militia were killed on the spot, one was slightly injured and two were seriously injured, and they were captured by the militia.

Qian Su escaped from his death because he did not know the details of Zhang Xinxia and did not dare to tell him in real name. This caused Zhang Xinxia to send him to Hangzhou Prefecture to make sure who the survivor was.

Because Qian Sule concealed his identity, Zhang Xinxia's notice brought the carriage to search for it, and sent the miscellaneous items and copywriting that were sorted out.

Wu Zheng received a letter from Qian Sule a few days ago. Wu Zheng was very happy to know that Qian Sule had the intention to resign, but he didn't know when Qian Sule would leave Beijing, otherwise he would have sent someone to pick him up.

Wu Zheng thought Qian Sule would not leave Beijing in the short term, because under normal circumstances, the transfer of a chief officer would take a period of time to transfer.

In Wu Zheng's opinion, Qian Sule would not leave Beijing within a month, so Wu Zheng waited for Qian Sule's next letter to inform him of his specific date of departure.

Unexpectedly, Qian Sule left Beijing suddenly and quietly left Beijing.

Therefore, when Wu Zheng saw Qian Sule's belongings, he thought Qian Sule was killed. He was furious and immediately ordered the Northern Expedition Army to go north to avenge Qian Sule.

But one day later, Wu Zheng sent people to Xiushui County to pick up people. After arriving at Xiushui, he found that among the survivors, Qian Sule, so he urgently reported to Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng rushed to Xiushui County overnight and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qian Sule.

"Father-in-law, I'm scared." Wu Zheng grabbed Qian Sule's sleeves, "If my father-in-law is really unpredictable, I will lead my army to pacify Yingtian Mansion... I don't care about the court or the Ming Dynasty."

Qian Sule was a little moved. He understood that Wu Zheng was different from other princes. From the day he met Wu Zheng, Qian Sule had heard Wu Zheng's statement about rebellion. He was restored to Ming, but he was not Zhu Ming again.

However, over the years, in fact, Wu Zheng is still supporting Mingshi, and there is no doubt about this.

In Qian Sule's heart, Wu Zheng is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, hard on the outside and soft on the inside.

At present, Wu Zheng resolutely ordered the Northern Expedition Army to go north for his sake, which really surprised Qian Sule.

At all costs, these four words are easy to say, but it is difficult to do. It is not that it cannot be done, but that there is too much trouble.

The Northern Expedition Army went north and had already rebelled. If it took action, it would confirm the reputation of usurping the throne. This was a crime that would never be removed for Wu Zheng.

Just as Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty seized the kingdom from his nephew, in fact, Zhu Di's actions after seizing the throne were obvious to all. To be fair, Zhu Di did much better than Zhu Yunwen for the country and the people.

But no matter how great the great civil and military achievements were, they could not conceal Zhu Di's evil deeds of usurping the throne.

The four words of incorrect position are enough to nail Zhu Di to the pillar of shame and be scolded by future generations for generations.

Confucian heritage is reasonable and consistent, and the ethics of heaven and earth can be said to be correct only if the name is correct.

What Confucianism has never focused on talent. To be precise, talent is ranked second.

Pay attention to virtue and character.

What is said is that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

There is a way, and you will start with this and end with this.

Facts have proved that Zhu Di's descendants also staged an almost identical scene. This is not superstition, but the cycle of reincarnation in the way of heaven.

Therefore, ordinary people may not understand, but Qian Sule understands!

So he was moved.

But no matter how moved it is, Qian Sule's first sentence was, "The King of Wu's actions are inappropriate. In any case, the King of Wu is a minister, not a king! It is a great disrespect to use personal grudges and raise troops to attack the king... I beg the King of Wu to order the withdrawal of troops and not to cause trouble to the lives of the world!"
