Chapter 49 It's him

When I opened it, I saw that Wu Zheng was mentally prepared.

But when I saw the name of Xinshou, I didn't feel like I took a breath.

It was indeed him.

Wu Zheng suddenly understood why the Southern Ming dynasty was so vulnerable, whether it was the Hongguang Dynasty or the King of Lu's regent.

The Hongguang Dynasty was known as a million-dollar army, which only lasted fourteen months from Zhu Yousong's ascension to the throne to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

Regarding Zhu Yousong, there are nursery rhymes among the people, "The Secretary of the Central Committee has it everywhere, the governor walks all over the streets, the supervision disciplines are as numerous as sheep, and the position is as low as a dog. The dust has been raised for thousands of years, and the tribute is drawn to present it. Sweep all the money in the south of the Yangtze River and fill the Majiakou."

The king of Lu only lasted for sixteen or seventeen months in history.

Compared with Zhu Yousong, King Zhu Yihai of Lu was much more honest and wise.

But why will it repeat the same mistake?

The root of the problem is originally here - Fang Guoan.

Fang Guoan, Duke of Yue, and General Zhennan led 30,000 people to guard the east bank of Qiantang River.

Once he surrendered to the enemy, the entire river defense would collapse instantly.

Wu Zheng's heart was hanging in the air as if it was being carried by a silk thread.

Needless to mention Shaoxing Prefecture, even the counties further south will be overturned in a daze.

"Surprise" and Wu Zheng shouted loudly: "Fang Guoan is just a Duke, but the King of Lu is still a governor. It endangers the country and the country. I do not believe that the King of Lu will regard it as if he had not seen it and let it go. Xiao Anzi, prepare horses for me, and I will go to Shaoxing Prefecture to report it overnight. Captain Li, please follow me to be a witness."

Li Ruhai shook his head and said, "Sir, listen to the advice of humble officials, let's give up this matter. Duke Fang Guo's hand holds a 30,000 army, and the number of troops accounts for half of the troops under the command of the Lu Jianguo. Even if the Lu Jianguo dares to punish him, if he forces Duke Fang to rebel, then... sir, let's forget it."

Wu Zheng was so angry that his hands were trembling, but he knew that Li Ruhai was right.

In the chaotic times, there is no reason to say. Whoever has the final say is the one who has the hard fist.

If you go out by yourself, you may suffer unintentional disaster.

But Wu Zheng's heart was aching. The Lu Jianguo was destroyed. What should the people of the eight counties under Shaoxing Prefecture do?

What should I do with my dad and my sister?

What should I do if I have more than 300 soldiers under my command?

What should eight hundred people who have just had a home and hope to do?

Wu Zheng's hair stood up one by one.

"Let's go." Wu Zheng said firmly, "Follow me to Shaoxing Mansion. It depends on others and the success of things is in heaven. If the world is really beyond help, you and I will die sooner or later, just a few days earlier."

Li Ruhai looked at Wu Zheng in a daze, and suddenly bowed and said, "Just relying on this sentence of the adult, I am willing to go with you this time. The adult is right, it's just a death."

"No. Brother can't go." After sending her father, Wu Xiaomei happened to come back to find Wu Zheng to say something, but she didn't expect to hear these words.

Wu Zhengde said, "You are a girl's house, why are you joining in the fun? Once you leave, your father will be anxious? Besides, this trip is unpredictable, how can I let you go with you?"

Wu Xiaomei said stubbornly: "It is precisely because of this that I want to go with me. With my burden, I will not not think about the consequences."

As he said that, Wu Xiaomei's eyes turned red and two crystal tears dripped.

Wu Zheng felt ache, "Young sister, listen to me, stay in the village to serve my father. What if... I mean, you want to respect your father well for your brother, ah?"

Wu Xiaomei's sob gradually sounded, "Brother, I haven't returned for three years, I've only been back for two days. Do you have the heart to ignore my father and me?"

Wu Zheng's nose felt a strong sourness, and he thought to himself, "Sister, do you know that my brother has long been dead, and died at the moment of the last battle in Jiading City."

After biting her teeth hard, Wu Zheng said sternly: "Erhan, look at the lady. You must not let her leave Wuzhuang half a step before I come back."

Erhan grabbed Wu Xiaomei's arm and said, "Young Master, just leave this to Xiao An. I'd better go to Shaoxing Mansion with you?"

Xiao An prepared the carriage and came in. When he heard Erhan talking about him behind his back, he said furiously: "Erhan, what are you saying? We are born as a member of the Wu family and die as a ghost of the Wu family. Wherever the young master is, I will be there. Listen to the young master, I will be optimistic about the young lady."

Erhan looked at Wu Zheng with eager eyes, his eyes full of expectations.

But Wu Zheng didn't even look at him and left with Li Ruhai.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the gate of the village, they were stopped by Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng asked strangely: "It's so late, where are you going?"

Wu Zheng said: "There are spies in the court, and I will go to Shaoxing Prefecture to report to the Lu Jianguo."

Chen Sheng said in surprise: "Who is?"

Wu Zheng hesitated for a moment, "Come near."

When Chen Sheng approached, Wu Zheng said: "Fang Guoan and Duke Fang Guoan."

Chen Sheng was shocked, "Sir, you can't go, this is a burning fire!"

Wu Zheng said: "I know, but someone really has to go."

Chen Sheng said anxiously: "Even if the lord goes, what can I do? The lord of Duke Fang Guo’s army is 30,000, and even the lord of Lu can’t do anything to him. This is... seeking death."

Wu Zheng shouted angrily: "Fart. If I ignore it and let this guy sell land and seek honor, that is to seek death. You are also leading the army to die. Don't you understand the truth that you can't have the eggs in the end? Don't be too long-winded and get out of here!"

Seeing that Wu Zheng had decided, Chen Sheng stopped persuading him, but asked, "Since that's the case, I beg you to take me with you and take your soldiers with you."

Wu Zheng frowned and said, "I'm not going to rebel, why do I bring so many people to do? If I'm falsely accused of this, wouldn't it be unfair?"

Chen Sheng was still waiting for further advice, and Wu Zheng said stubbornly: "Hello, please pacify the soldiers here. With the Lu Jianguo, I will not have any trouble. Remember, if something really happens to me, I must protect my father and my sister's safety, and Zhou... Master."

Chen Sheng said with tears in his eyes: "I have written it down, please take care of me."

....

Huang Degong saw Wu Zheng accepting the Jade Buddha without any objection, and he felt very at ease.

After leaving the restaurant, Huang Degong thought about it without delay.

Then he returned to the county government office to get on a carriage and rushed to Shaoxing Prefecture with several guards.

The loss of letters must be impossible to hide.

If Wu Zheng’s request cannot be met, he will definitely make a statement.

I'm afraid I'll be dead by then.

Instead, in accordance with Wu Zheng's request, he can not only resolve the leak of decryption letters, but also add a right-hand assistant.

But Wu Zheng’s request was not something that he, a county magistrate, had to pass through Fang Guoan.

Originally, Huang Degong was afraid, but now, after finding a solution, Huang Degong thought that even if Duke Fang scolded him, he could handle it.

Along the way, Huang Degong rushed forward quickly.

He believes that if this matter can be resolved earlier, he can sleep well one day earlier.
