Chapter 242: Uncle Wu is really a loyal and righteous person!
When Zhu Yujiao arrived, the Ming army just repelled another attack by the Qing army.
didn't have much trouble with Chen Sheng, Zhu Yujiao immediately devoted herself to the affairs of appeasing and consoling the soldiers, especially for the injured soldiers, Zhu Yujiao was even more respectful and noble, shushing the cold and asking for warmth.
This woman has a natural political acumen and knows how to win people's hearts and strengthen morale.
At this time, Zhu Yujiao saw two familiar figures and froze for a while.
Zhou Simin and Wu Xiaomei were bowing their heads to take care of the wounded soldiers, stained with blood on their hands.
Perhaps under the gaze of the gaze, or perhaps the woman was born with a sixth sense, the two of them looked up and straightened up in unison.
The three of them looked at each other silently, and for a long time, Zhou Simin hesitated for a while, and saluted Zhu Yujiao: "I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Wu Xiaomei followed and bowed.
Zhu Yujiao looked at Zhou Simin, who had already shown a little body, her eyes shrank, and she said angrily: "You are already pregnant, why don't you rest at home?" ”
Then without waiting for Zhou Simin to answer, he turned to Wu Xiaomei and said: "You and the two of you can do your best for the soldiers, and the palace will reward you on behalf of the imperial court." ”
I don't want Wu Xiaomei to be humble or arrogant and say: "The little girl is not talented, and she is not so compassionate and compassionate...... ”
Speaking of this, Wu Xiaomei pointed to the wounded soldiers and said: "They are all children of Shaoxing, and they are also soldiers under my brother's command, I came to help, just for my brother, and I don't need Her Royal Highness the princess to reward them." ”
Zhu Yujiao was hit with a soft nail by Wu Xiaomei, only to find that her tone was too superior, but her heart could not allow her to bow to others in public, so she no longer paid attention to Wu Xiaomei, turned to Zhou Simin and said, "Are there many wounded soldiers in the city?" ”
Chen Sheng, who accompanied him, waved his hand to the surrounding soldiers in an interesting way, and then saluted Zhu Yujiao and retreated.
Zhu Yujiao did not stop Chen Sheng.
Zhou Simin replied: "The battle is fierce, there are no less than 1,000 wounded soldiers in the city, and the women of the people's families have volunteered to take care of the wounded soldiers, but the wounded medicine is still insufficient. ”
Zhu Yujiao nodded and said: "When the palace came, I had already collected all the wound medicines from all the pharmacies in Shaoxing Mansion, half of them were brought to the post pavilion, and half of them were brought here, and you went to let General Chen hand them over." ”
Zhou Simin knew that this was distracting himself, so he answered, gave Wu Xiaomei a look, and turned around.
Zhu Yujiao looked at Wu Xiaomei calmly, she wondered why she had an indescribable feeling for this little girl, she always felt like ...... There is a closeness.
At this time, Wu Xiaomei didn't think so, she stared at Zhu Yujiao with her eyes, as if she was looking at her enemy.
Although Zhu Yujiao is not very old, she has experienced a lot, and she has realized where Wu Xiaomei's hostility towards her comes from.
When she disguised herself as a man and entered Wuzhuang that day, Wu Xiaomei asked for warmth and took good care of her, and found an excuse to see her from time to time.
At that time, Zhu Yujiao had already guessed something.
Therefore, Zhu Yujiao didn't blame Wu Xiaomei for glaring at herself so rudely.
"Miss Wu, I didn't offend you, did I, why do you stare at me like this?"
Being asked by Zhu Yujiao, Wu Xiaomei also felt her gaffe, and replied with a red face: "The princess misunderstood, how dare the little girl be disrespectful to His Royal Highness." ”
Zhu Yujiao smiled and said: "You and I have a good relationship, when I was in Wuzhuang, didn't you also call me Zhou Gongzi?" Why is it so rusty now? ”
Wu Xiaomei replied: "But you are not Zhou Gongzi, you are the princess of Changping." ”
Zhu Yujiao sighed when she heard this: "It's a pity why you were born in the emperor's family!" Miss Wu, Brother Ling led the Northern Expedition, didn't he send someone to take you and Uncle Wu to Hangzhou Mansion and stay away from this dangerous place? ”
Wu Xiaomei replied: "My brother sent two groups of people, but my father refused to leave Wuzhuang, he said that the Wu family ancestral hall is here, he wants to be a Ming man in life, and he is also a Ming ghost in death." ”
Zhu Yujiao praised her head: "Uncle Wu is really a loyal and righteous person!" ”
Wu Xiaomei's tone suddenly turned cold and said, "Is this how you say such things to everyone who bleeds and works hard for the Zhu family, and then they shed the last drop of blood for the Zhu family?" ”
After speaking, Wu Xiaomei didn't even salute, turned around and left.
Zhu Yujiao opened her mouth lightly, looked at Wu Xiaomei's back with a confused expression, and was stunned.
Uncle Zheng beside him said: "This little woman really doesn't know how to be polite, the old slave went to reprimand her and ordered her to apologize to His Royal Highness." ”
Zhu Yujiao shook her head and said, "No need, if you think about it, what she said is not unreasonable." But it's not entirely reasonable, the Zhu family is not a family with one surname, but the world, the big tomorrow! At least in the eyes of Jianlu. ”
Uncle Zheng nodded again and again and said, "Your Highness is right, this world belongs to the Zhu family." ”
"You misunderstood, this palace is right, now the Zhu family is a banner of the Ming people in the world, a banner of rebellion against the Manchu Qing Dynasty."
Uncle Zheng was stunned.
Zhu Yujiao smiled self-deprecatingly, "Don't you think it's inappropriate for this palace to say this?" Does this sound familiar? ”
Uncle Zheng was even more stunned.
"This palace originally thought that he was a fallacy, but he kept doing it, especially after he took office as a prisoner, this palace realized that the Zhu family owed a lot to the people of the Ming Dynasty, if there was really one day...... The Zhu family has lost the hearts of the people in the world, and it can also be ...... Equanimity. ”
From this day on, there were three women with special identities in Fenghui City, who greeted the soldiers and cared for them.
It's like they're not playing harder.
And the soldiers who don't know the inside story, the emotion in their hearts is indescribable, and this move turns into a fighting spirit, which can be described as invincible.
For three days, the Qing army outside the city was stunned that they did not take advantage of it.
Fenghui City has always been firmly in the hands of the Ming army, and not an inch of land has been lost.
……。
The news that his father, sister and Zhou Simin refused to leave Wuzhuang made Wu Zheng, who had just arrived outside Changzhou, very worried.
He sent a messenger again and ordered Chen Sheng to coerce his father and others to avoid Pinggang Cottage as a last resort.
Wu Zheng knew that he didn't have much time left, and if he didn't capture Changzhou immediately, then there would be no need to threaten Ying Tianfu, and it would be impossible to force the southern Tartars to stop attacking Shaoxingfu.
Once the plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao fails, then the loss of Shaoxing Mansion and the fall of relatives into the enemy area will be too great.
After a night of repairs, Wu Zheng brazenly ordered to attack Changzhou City.
At this time, Wu Zheng had no more than 6,000 troops in his hands, which still included Song An's troops who came to rendezvous.
With more than 6,000 people, attacking a well-defended Changzhou city is very difficult to think about.
Especially after Hong Chengchou's two failures, in addition to the car, he was more cautious.
Hong Chengchou knew that it was impossible to conceal the news of the two defeats, so he dispatched 8,000 defenders from Zhenjiang to aid Changzhou on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was in an emergency with the capital and asked for reinforcements.
But one thing is very clear, at this time, east of Yingtianfu, north of Changzhou, and south of the Yangtze River, there was indeed no formed Qing army.
All the troops that can be drawn were concentrated in Changzhou by Hong Chengchou.
