Originally, Yingtianfu did have an army of 150,000, but at that time, the war situation in Jiangxi was urgent, and the Qing court urgently transferred 50,000 people to Nanchang Mansion, and then Prince Yu Duoduo led an army of 60,000 to the south. After you rushed to attack Suzhou, the university soldiers led the troops to reinforce, and after you were defeated, they urgently dispatched 10,000 troops from Tianfu to Changzhou, originally wanting to stabilize Changzhou, and did not want your chasing troops to collapse at the touch of a button, so there were more than 10,000 troops to pursue. ”

Wu Zheng understood, but this understanding made his heart twitch violently.

A huge temptation was placed in front of him, more than 10,000 pursuers of the Qing army were reduced to ashes, Hong Chengchou in Changzhou only had three or four thousand remnants at most, and the huge Ying Tianfu was only five thousand old, weak, sick and disabled.

It seems that the Qing court's forces are indeed stretched.

What does this mean?

The recovery of Ying Tianfu is right in front of you!

Wu Zheng's hairs stood on end.

Qian Sudian and Qian Qiaogong were even more short of breath.

This is a wonton falling from the sky!

"My lord, let's go west!" Qian Sudian's eyes shone brightly.

Qian Qiaogong's face was blood-red and said: "If I can die under the wall of Yingtianfu, I also think it's worth it!" ”

Wu Zheng quickly estimated his strength in his mind.

There are still more than 1,000 remnants of Wu Shengzhao, and there are 2,000 cavalry under his command, and if the Song Anbu in Wuxi is urgently transferred, it will be 3,000 people.

Taken together, there were more than 6,000 troops.

Wu Zheng hesitated a little, the troops were still insufficient, even if Ying Tianfu's troops were only 5,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, but Ying Tianfu was Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty, the city defense was strong, and all the artillery was taken away by Chi Erhan, and he had no heavy weapons to attack the city, which was almost no threat to a fortified city, more than 6,000 people.

But if he let the opportunity be missed, Wu Zheng was unwilling.

Wu Zheng thought about it again and again, and forced the uncle and nephew of the Qian family, who were also unwilling, to walk out of the county office.

There was already a tide of people outside the yamen, and countless people from Jiangyin City poured in.

At the moment when Wu Zheng came out, the hustle and bustle of the crowd suddenly fell silent.

An old man stepped forward and said to Wu Zhengchang: "The gentry of Jiangyin thank you for saving your life. ”

After speaking, he took the lead in bowing to Wu, and hundreds of people followed.

Wu Zheng turned sideways slightly, accepted a half-salute, and then stepped forward to support him: "As a minister, it is within his duty to resist foreign enemies, so you don't have to be polite, get up." ”

The old man got up, pointed to the Tuguo Treasure behind Wu Zheng and said: "My lord, this fang is ruthless and full of evil, and if you don't kill it, it will not be enough for the people to be angry, and if you don't kill it, you can't make the thousands of unjust souls who died at his hands in the city blind, I implore you to hand this person over to us for disposal." ”

Wu Zheng silently swept around with his eyes, and then turned his head to look at Tu Guobao.

Tu Guobao saw a trace of indifference in Wu Zheng's eyes, he was shocked, and shouted urgently: "Lord Wu, you swore to spare me not to die!" ”

Wu Zheng said coldly: "This official has indeed sworn that he will not harm you, and this official will do what he says!" ”

The soil national treasure breathed a sigh of relief.

The old man hurriedly said: "My lord, think twice, this fang is by no means a good kind, and his hands are stained with the blood of the people of my Jiangyin City, so I can't let it go!" ”

Countless people in front of the door shouted: "My lord, I can't let this person go." ”

Wu Zheng raised his hand slightly, waited for his voice to be calm, and then said, "This official did swear not to harm him." And this official will never break his word. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng shouted: "Come here, loosen the bonds for the national treasure." ”

The national treasure of the earth was overjoyed.

Qian Sudian's uncle and nephew were shocked, and stepped forward to admonish.

I only heard Wu Zheng continue: "Release on the spot!" ”

The two were stunned and looked at each other.

Tu Guobao's face froze, and the steps he had already taken quickly retracted.

Then he quickly turned around and ran into the yamen.

Wu Zheng said sharply: "Stop him!" ”

Several guards immediately formed a human wall and kept the earth treasure out of the door.

Tu Guobao rushed a few times, but he couldn't do anything, so he could only turn around and roar at Wu Zheng: "Wu Zheng, you are breaking your promise and losing your trust in the world." ”

Wu Zheng said coldly: "This official promises a thousand gold, and if he says that he will not harm you, he will naturally not harm you." ”

Turning his head, he said to the people: "Fellow villagers, let me testify that this official released the national treasure in public, and did not harm him in the slightest. ”

The people were confused at first, but then they came to their senses.

So, with Wu Zheng's words, they all fell back and withdrew ten zhang away.

Wu Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Tu Guobao, you can go." ”

Tu Guobao's face is like white ash, how can he still take a step.

He suddenly opened his mouth and scolded: "Wu Zheng, you can't die well!" Lao Tzu won't let you go if you're a ghost! ”

Wu Zheng was furious, "Someone come, drive him out." ”

Several guards pushed and shoved, pushing Tu Guobao in front of the county yamen.

Wu Zheng immediately turned around and said to the uncles, nephews and guards of the Qian family: "This official is tired, you all follow this official into the palace to rest." ”

With that, walk through the door.

The uncle and nephew of the Qian family smiled knowingly, retreated into the yamen, and then closed the door.

Tu Guobao, who was standing outside the door, looked desperately at the people of Jiangyin who were like a human wall on the opposite side.

And the people of Jiangyin also looked at the Tu National Treasure coldly.

After a confrontation like this for about a pillar of incense, Tu Guobao finally roared and ran to the left.

And the people of Jiangyin, who had not moved, did not know who burst out at this time, "Kill him." ”

So, the crowd went crazy and said, "Shoot him!" ”

"Shoot him!"

"Shoot him!" ……。

Wu Zheng waited until the crowd gradually subsided, and then reappeared outside the yamen.

There is no trace of the national treasure anymore.

However, Wu Zheng has no interest in exploring this.

At this time, the old man from before stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your grace, let me wait for the revenge of the people of Jiangyin who died unjustly." ”

Wu Zheng shook his hand again and again: "This official didn't do anything. ”

The old man took the opportunity to say: "Yes, the old man lost his words." The adults really didn't do anything. ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said: "There is money looted by the national treasure in the yamen, and the villagers elect a few people of high moral integrity to return it to the robbed people." The official still has military affairs, so he will not be accompanied. ”

"Master Xie."

……。

In the early morning of the next day, Wu Zheng led his troops, under the respectful send-off of the people of Jiangyin, out of the west gate of Jiangyin City.

On the tower of the west gate of the city, Wu Zheng saw the handwriting left by Yan Yingyuan.

"Eighty days with allegiance, the seventeenth dynasty of Taizu;

100,000 people died with one heart and left 300 miles of rivers and mountains in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Great, Yan Yingyuan, the history of the Ming Dynasty! Great, the history of the Ming Dynasty Chen Mingyu!! Great, 100,000 gentry in Jiangyin City!!

Wu Zheng silently recited these two lines of poetry, and gradually realized Yan Yingyuan's heart at that time.

Heroes are born in troubled times, and heroes are created by the times!

"The direction is due west, and the target is Changzhou."

Wu Zheng ordered loudly.

Last night, after consulting with the generals, Wu Zheng decided to turn back and continue the Northern Expedition.

Wu Zheng couldn't get rid of this temptation.
