So, the group crossed the city outside the Jubao Gate and turned and headed east.

Fortunately, Qian Sule was still relatively cautious, and before leaving, he sent someone to contact Chen Zilong in the city, explained Zhu Yihai's meaning and movements, and asked Chen Zilong to order Qian Sudian and Qian Qiaogong's uncle and nephew, and ordered them to lead the army from Hongwumen to Zhengyangmen to wait outside Zhengyangmen.

And asked Chen Zilong to lead a group of civil and military officials in the city to go out of Zhengyang Gate to welcome Zhu Yihai's car.

Zhu Yihai and his entourage gave Wu Zheng precious time.

As Wu Zheng said, dead horses are used as live horse doctors, and even if Zhu Yihai bypassed Zhengyang Gate, Wu Zheng might not be able to catch up with Zhu Yihai and his party to enter the city.

But at this time, Zhu Yihai obviously forgot that in the city of Dongfu in the west of Zhengyang Gate, there were more than 10,000 elite divisions stationed in the city, and this elite army had been fighting from Hangzhou to Yingtianfu, which could be said to be Wu Zheng's descendant.

Although it is true that it is the Ming army, these people were fed by Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng has a merit that is most valued by the soldiers, that is, he is not greedy for money, not only is he not greedy for money, but he is also a boy who scatters money.

At this point, as long as the soldiers who have followed Wu Zheng are willing to follow Wu Zheng.

Man dies for money, and birds die for food.

It is natural for a soldier to be paid.

What kind of righteousness and spirit, when it comes to the battlefield, everything is bullshit.

On the battlefield, the only thing that can be motivated is the competition between comrades-in-arms, the competition is blood, and there is money, real money.

There is too much money flowing from Wu Zheng's hands, so much that he can't figure it out himself, but right now, Wu Zheng is still short of money, and there is really no money around him.

Where does all the money go?

Most of them went to the hands of the soldiers, Wu Zheng never spared rewards, and after each war, in terms of rewarding soldiers, they were rewarded and compensated according to the upper limit.

For the Ming army camp after the death of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that there is really no one who can compare to Wu Zheng.

This is also the main reason why Wu Zheng was able to quickly break through Changzhou with a miscellaneous army, and the troops were approaching the city of Tianfu.

This army only obeys Wu Zheng's fate, but Chen Zilong doesn't know, and Qian Sule doesn't know either.

In their opinion, as long as it is the Ming army, seeing the emperor ascending the throne, how can there be any reason not to be loyal to the situation?

Could it be that the Emperor's reward would be lower than that of a marquis?

Therefore, even if they knew that this was a garrison left by Wu Zheng, they were not too worried about this army.

Of course, the premise is that Qian Sule has made the necessary precautions for this army, that is, to order Qian Sudian and Qian Qiaogong's uncle and nephew to lead the army from Hongwumen to Zhengyangmen to wait for the driver.

From Hongwu Gate to Zhengyang Gate, this distance is much closer than Zhu Yihai detouring Zhengyang Gate from Jubao Gate, and it is completely too late to arrange defense.

Popularity.

The core of this change is still the hearts of the people.

If the garrison of Dongcheng Mansion was really as speculative as Chen Zilong and Qian Sule, then Zhu Yihai would definitely enter Zhengyangmen smoothly, and Wu Zheng could only face Zhengyangmen, sigh at the door, and then retreat to Hangzhou City in a gloomy manner, waiting for the imperial court to send someone to spread the edict, and then reluctantly accept the edict.

If Qian Sudian and Qian Qiaogong's uncle and nephew are really as Qian Sule thinks, only his eldest brother and father's orders are obeyed, then even if the garrison outside Zhengyangmen is ordered by Wu Zheng to stop Zhu Yihai and his party, then I am afraid that success or failure is two words.

It's one thing to obey orders, it's another thing to fight for your life.

The garrison outside Zhengyangmen is willing to listen to Wu Zheng's order to stop Zhu Yihai, which does not mean that they are willing to fight with the army led by Qian Sudian and Qian Qiaogong's uncle and nephew, and besides, blocking and killing the monarch are two different natures.

Therefore, as long as Qian Sudian and Qian Qiaogong's uncle and nephew abide by Qian Sule's strict orders, this matter has to be said in two ways, and success or failure depends on who compromises first or who dares to act first.

The first strike is stronger, and the second strike suffers.

Even children understand this.

But in fact, both of these are variables.

The garrison is a variable, and Qian Sudian and Qian Qiaogong's uncles and nephews are also variables.

When he heard that Chen Zilong sent someone to convey his father's order, Qian Qiaogong looked at Qian Sudian with a wry smile, and the two looked at each other and sighed at the same time: "Wu is done." ”

Their thoughts are the same as Ma Shiying's.

As long as Zhu Yihai enters Yingtianfu, then the overall situation will be decided.

Even if Wu Zheng wants to fight back, he can't attack Ying Tianfu, otherwise, he will be a traitor and will be spurned by the world.

But if you return to Hangzhou, it will not be far from the time of extinction.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, even if Zhu Yihai was generous and appeased at the beginning, but under the planning of these literati in the court, Wu Zheng could only sit and wait for death, and then the court only needed to find a stubble, and Wu Zheng could be wantonly slaughtered, and Wu Zheng would either oppose or only accept it.

This is the so-called principle that the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die.

Unbreakable, unsolvable.

Of course, this is based on the Qian family's uncle and nephew, who obey Qian Sule's orders for the benefit of the family.

"Uncle, is it good now?"

At this time, Qian Sudian also took uncertain measures.

This matter has evolved like this, and the Qian family has completely fallen into the whirlpool.

No matter which side wins, it does not coincide with the original intention of himself and Qian Qiaogong.

However, the Qian family is not only Qian Sule, but also an old and young woman and child, and it is really difficult to make the same choice at this time.

Qian Sule said in a deep voice: "At this time, you must make a decision immediately, and you must not hesitate. I decided that I wouldn't do it, you would. Do you want to obey the will of the eldest brother, or stick to your own opinions, stand on the side of Jinghaihou, and support Princess Changping to continue to supervise the country and even ascend the throne as emperor? ”

Qian Qiaogong complained to this uncle, who was only two years older than him, with a worried tone: "Uncle, how can I be in charge of this matter?" You know my father's temper, and if you disobey him, you'll kill me. ”

Qian Sule grinned, and he heard his position from his nephew's words.

Qian Qiaogong continued: "Also, if I really stand on the opposite side of my father, and then my father may be dethroned because of this, so I will face my father in this way...... Is he not worthy of the Son of Man? ”

Qian Sudian frowned slightly, "At this time, if you are undecided, you will definitely delay the big thing, and then I am afraid that both sides will not please you, if you care about the eldest brother, then act according to the orders of the eldest brother, with the current Xia Wanchun and the new army under you and me, it is enough to compete with the garrison outside Jinghai Houcheng." If this is the case, it can also be a protector, which is good for you and me, and the Qian family. ”

Qian Qiaogong said with annoyance: "Isn't that going to be an enemy of Wu? ”

"What about being an enemy?" Qian Sudian was a little anxious, he was a little impatient, at this time, wrong is wrong, right is right, the most taboo is indecision.

Qian Qiaogong sighed lightly: "Uncle may not have been by Wu Zheng's side for a long time and doesn't know this person, but I have been following him since I was in Shaoxing Mansion, when he was only a hundred households. Uncle just imagine, how terrible it would be for a person who had been defeated by more than 100 soldiers around him to become a person waiting for the Jinghai Dynasty in less than two years? I'd rather confront Duoduo face to face than fight Wu as an enemy. ”
