"This..." Zhou Ruzhang frowned, "This method is too expensive... At this time, our court can't afford so much money."

Xia Guoxiang smiled and said, "It's okay... Xia can help."

Zhou Ruzhang was stunned and frowned and said, "Mr. Xia... wants to get from Zhou again, what do you want?"

"Okay! Wonderful!" Xia Guo said with high highs, "The Chief Supervisor is indeed a straightforward person... In this way, Xia will not hide it?"

"Speaking."

"My king is willing to support the new king, but my king is in Jianxing Dynasty and this title in the future..."

"Sir?"

"How about the original title of the emperor, the vassal of Shaanxi and Gansu, whether to listen to the communist or not...?"

Zhou Ruzhang's eyes flashed and he smiled, "This matter is not difficult... I will report to the emperor!"

"Okay... the prime minister is happy!" Xia Guogong laughed, "That's easy to deal with... But, Master Zheng Gong... what is the basis? You can't speak nonsense, which makes Xia unable to explain to my king when he goes back!"

Zhou Ruzhang thought for a while and said, "Zhou Mouli's name is a proof... After the rebellion is quelled, he will exchange the imperial edict for the name. Mr. Xia thinks it is okay?"

"That's of course!"

Prime Minister Xia turned around and said to Fan Yong: "Please transfer five million taels to the prime minister..."

Zhou Ruzhang interrupted: "We need to transfer some people."

Xia Guozhang was stunned, "Does the chief minister want to...?"

"A two-pronged approach for civil and military personnel!"

"The chief assistant is indeed brilliant!"

Everyone laughed at the same time, and the laughter was like howling ghosts and wolves.

....

Nearly noon.

Qian Sule and Zhang Guowei led the civilian army to contact the "rebellion army" surrounding the Wu royal palace, and fierce battle broke out.

The civilian army once attacked the grain management route, only a few miles away from the Wu Palace, but was attacked by the enemy troops who rushed to reinforce from the north to the south flank. The civilian army's right wing was defeated and attacked the main force of the Wu Palace, and then morale was disintegrated.

This is a battle with huge strength.

Ordinary people are still civilians when they are armed.

Simple loading and shooting cannot turn a flock of sheep into a pack of wolves in an instant.

Although Zhang Guowei has been in a military service for many years and has a good arrangement, the people who have organized hastily can only fight with the best.

If there are too many people who die, no matter how strict the order is, you will not be able to retreat.

As a last resort, Zhang Guowei had no choice but to order the remnants to retreat to the southeast and the former Censorate.

If Song An had not heard the news and urgently transferred the three hundred chiefs Lin Wei to reinforce and cut off the rear of Zhang Guowei, Zhang Guowei would have been doomed.

Another civilian army led by Qian Sule was completely wiped out by the enemy. Qian Sule, who was already martyred, did not order a retreat in time and was captured by the enemy until the end of the battle.

The enemy did not stop pursuing the remnants of Zhang Guowei's troops.

In the evening of that day, Zhang Guowei, who was preparing to lead his troops to retreat to Ziyang Mountain, was surrounded by several times of enemy west of Zhenhai Tower.

Seeing that the enemy was about to be defeated and died, the surrounding enemy troops suddenly stopped attacking.

Not only did he not attack, but he was withdrawing troops to the north.

When Zhang Guowei heard about the information, he became surprised. Could it be that... reinforcements have arrived?

....

Reinforcements have indeed arrived.

But this reinforcement was different from what Zhang Guowei imagined.

Because this is not an army, in the words of His Highness the King of Wu, this is the sound of the real people crying out.

Liu Yuan's troops and Xiushui militia joined forces in Jiaxing and marched towards Hangzhou after renovation.

Although this team does not have many heavy firearms in the siege, there are really many light weapons.

Liu Yuan's troops were not well-equipped, but when the coup broke out in Yingtian Prefecture before, Liu Yuan led his troops to serve the king, gathered tens of thousands of people at Taiping Bridge, and blocked the three thousand imperial guards on the north bank.

After Wu Zheng quelled the rebellion, Liu Yuan naturally obtained the weapons to seize three thousand imperial guards. Although the imperial guards did not have all equipped firearms, they were scrapped up in the 3,000 people, which was enough for Liu Yuan's troops to have a gun. Wu Zheng turned a blind eye to the capture of Liu Yuan's escort because of the heavy losses of Liu Yuan and his friends.

And the equipment of Xiushui Militia Group is not to mention.

At that time, Chen Hongfan, the "living Qin Hui" was assigned by the Qing court to connect local wealthy businessmen in Xiushui County and smuggle firearms to the north. Zhang Xinxia and Xu San gathered county yamen runners and dock porters, and used their flesh and blood to fight hundreds of lurking Qing troops, successfully dragging the fleeing cargo ships in the north and bringing Chen Hongfan and his group to justice.

At that time, more than 5,000 muskets and 78 cannons were seized. Wu Zheng left some old-fashioned muskets and cannons to Xiushui militia.

Therefore, this team is not short of weapons.

The Xiushui militia was a local tyrant from top to bottom. Liu Yuan's army and the militia joined forces and repaired Xiushui for two days, so naturally everyone knew each other.

So, the young people who wanted to make achievements shrunk their heads and wanted to follow them.

Yes, the prestige of Xiushui Militia in the local area is almost higher than that of the county government. Just the eight big words "National Heroes, Immortality" written by His Highness the Superintendent of the State of the current governor, the weight is greater than that of Mount Tai.

This is the pride of the people of Jiaxing!

When this "mixed army" arrived in Hangzhou City, the team had expanded rapidly to more than 5,000 people.

Just as the "punishment army" in the city defeated Zhang Guowei, Qian Sule led the civilian army and pursued the remnants of Zhang Guowei's troops.

Without saying a word, Liu Yuan pointed to the city and said, "Attack in... I will blame you for the King of Wu for being blamed. Just chop my head, it has nothing to do with it!"

Look at what this said, if someone else was the one who might be intimidated by Liu Yuan’s momentum, but what are the origins of Zhang Xinxia, ​​Xu San and others?

Zhang Xinxia's name was Wu Zhengci. His original name was Lao Zhangtou (an ordinary man at that time, he was called Lao when he was thirty years old). He was a dock foreman. When the dock was forced by more than a hundred Qing soldiers, he dared to lead hundreds of dock workers to fight against the enemy. His bloodiness was no less than that of Liu Yuan, a scholar who was halfway through the revolution.

Xu San was a little more "rule" and was originally the head of the county yard's servants, but he dared to lead his subordinates to resist bravely when he knew that the county magistrate had an affair with the enemy. Naturally, he was not a person who was afraid of trouble.

So, Liu Yuan said this. The two of them had already ordered the front-loading cannons that were so old that they could be used as their grandfathers. They set up and aimed directly at the city gate.

Liu Yuan was shocked now. When the cannon was fired, the damage in the city would be severe.

Before Liu Yuan could speak out, Zhang Xinxia over there laughed and said, "Brother Liu, don't worry... No matter how much it blows up, it can be rebuilt with silver. But if Hangzhou City falls into the hands of thieves, it will not be exchanged for silver... Besides, our Highness does not lack silver!"

After hearing this, Liu Yuan was right and thought about it. Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Brother Zhang is in line with his younger brother's temper... After serving the king, would he wish to make Jinlan with his younger brother?"
