Wu Zheng was angry and funny by this kid, "Qian Qiaogong, I want you to stay, train a team of people who can make artillery, the first battle of Hangzhou Mansion, no more than you, no less than you, no less, can train a team of people who can make artillery, it will be a great achievement for the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty in the future, what do you think?" ”

Qian Qiaogong hesitated, and he shouted: "Why don't you let your subordinates participate in the battle first, after this battle, it's not too late to train?" ”

Wu Zheng said sharply: "With such a heavy weapon, how can it be a few days late?" This official seizes the day. Besides, it takes time for artillery training to be completed, and it is impossible to do it for a year and a half, if this battle is unfavorable, the Qing army will move south in the spring next year, and it will not be able to catch up. ”

Qian Qiaogong was stunned by Wu Zheng, and he didn't think about it so much for a while, and responded in frustration: "Then the subordinates act according to the will of the adults." Just a cavalry battalion ......? ”

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "The cavalry battalion has also been training for several months, and now there are people who can be used?" ”

Qian Qiaogong said: "The lowly deputy, that is, the lowly ninth uncle Qian Sudian, can share the worries of adults." ”

Wu Zheng was stunned, Qian Qiaogong's ninth uncle?

Uncle, this cavalry battalion has really been made into a hall for his Qian family.

But now is not the time to worry about this, Wu Zheng said: "Then let Qian Sudian temporarily command the cavalry battalion on your behalf, you quickly go to Pinggang Mountain, and select a team of people to train quickly." ”

"Subordinates obey."

"Wait, pass the money to the official."

"Yes."

……。

Regardless of whether he was worried that Fang Guoan would be cleared or not, combat preparations quickly began.

Time is pressing, and we have to start early the day after tomorrow.

Wu Zheng didn't have time to go back to Wuzhuang at all.

After sending a soldier to inform him, Wu Zheng began to select his subordinates.

Chen Sheng couldn't go this time, and Wu Zheng was a little regretful.

Compared with these recruits who had only suppressed bandits once, Chen Sheng's battalion was more reassuring to Wu Zheng.

But Chen Sheng's stay in the village to train the more than 600 bandits is more important and meaningful.

The Qing army was strong, and Wu Zheng had to prepare for the next Qing army to move south.

also left a way back for the 3,000 soldiers under his command.

This attack on Hangzhou Mansion, Wu Zheng still felt that there was hope for success, but this did not mean that this battle could completely reverse the balance of power between the Ming and Qing dynasties.

At most, it was only to delay the southward movement of the Qing army.

Without the Yangtze River defense line, Jiangnan was almost in danger of defending.

What is infuriating is that Zhu Yihai also killed the envoy sent by the Longwu Dynasty.

If you say you don't accept it, it's okay, and everyone is in their own way.

Killing the messenger is equivalent to a complete face, and from then on, Shaoxing Mansion is not only facing an enemy of the Qing court, but even the Longwu Dynasty in the south is an enemy.

Therefore, Wu Zheng must make some preparations for this battle.

The tens of thousands of gold and silver obtained by the bandits, excluding the rewards of the soldiers and the 15,000 taels given to Zhang Guowei and others, all the rest were exchanged for food and materials and secretly transported to the mountain pass.

The people who knew how to build by the sea and Wuzhuang were gathered and sent to the village to build facilities.

At this time, Daddy Wu came with Wu Xiaomei and Zhou Simin.

"You, turn around." As soon as Father Wu entered the door, he pointed at Wu Zheng and ordered loudly, "Lie on the case." ”

Wu Zheng turned around strangely, supporting the side of the desk with both hands.

At this time, Father Wu shook his head at Zhou Simin, and Zhou Simin stepped forward and lifted Wu Zheng's back shirt, revealing his back.

There was a chill behind him, Wu Zheng was depressed, what is this for?

In my heart, I'll go, is my dad going to stage a mother-in-law's tattoo.

Wu Zheng turned around, and just wanted to say, Dad, don't make trouble.

But at a glance, wow, Daddy Wu took over the family law from Wu Xiaomei's hand, and pulled it over without saying a word.

"pia" sounded, so painful that Wu Zheng screamed.

"Dad, what are you doing, what's wrong with the child, you just say it."

No, after Daddy Wu pumped this time, he stopped.

Zhou Simin bit his lip and stepped forward to gently help Wu Zheng pick up his clothes.

I only heard Father Wu sigh: "You are the only one in the Wu family, I originally thought that I could let you marry a wife and have children and continue the incense, but I didn't want this battle to come so quickly." It's too late to say anything now, Dad thought, if you can't come back, I can beat you this time, Dad hasn't fed you for so many years in vain. ”

Old tears burst into tears as he spoke.

Wu Zheng almost jumped up when he heard this, and the old man came to the barracks for this reason and smoked himself for no reason.

But when he thought about it, Wu Zheng was also a little sad.

It's been eighteen years, and I really haven't done anything for my father.

I ran away from home three years ago, and now I have come back, and it is another battle after battle.

The time spent with my dad is countable.

Thinking of this, Wu Zheng's eyes also flashed with tears, stepped forward to take the family law from Wu Xiaomei's hand, and then knelt down in front of Wu's father, holding the family law with both hands and said: "Dad, then you can beat the child a few more times, no matter whether you win or lose this battle, you can't stop the Qing army from going south, and the child may not have time to accompany his father in the future." ”

Daddy Wu took over the family law, his hands trembled, he really couldn't fight, "That's it...... Well, if you really die outside, no matter how far away, Dad will go and collect your body. ”

With that, he staggered away.

Wu Xiaomei snatched the family law from Wu Zheng's hand, glared at Wu Zheng and said, "Cross the river, think more about my father and me...... And her. ”

After speaking, he chased after Daddy Wu.

Zhou Simin stepped forward to help Wu Zheng up, stretched out his arm and gently hugged Wu Zheng and said, "Don't worry too much about the family, I will take good care of my father and sister." ”

Wu Zheng was a little apologetic, held up Zhou Simin's chin, looked at her with tears on her face and said, "Don't worry, I'm not so easy to die." The danger of this battle is not great, and it is a big deal that I will flee back with my army. ”

Zhou Simin knew that Wu Zheng was comforting himself, but he pretended to believe and nodded, "Then I'll wait for you to come back in the village." ”

……。

Puyang, named after the Pujiang River.

Fang Guoan's front-line command post is located here.

"The shaft is too deceitful!" Fang Guoan was still annoyed by Wu Zheng's domineering.

In fact, this time, Wu Zheng really blamed Fang Guoan.

It's not that Fang Guoan didn't have the intention of defecting to the enemy, but the Qing court's bid was too low.

Fang Guoan is also a dignified Yue Guogong, but Boluo's bid is only a three-rank envoy (Wen) and a commander (Wu).

This is too far from the governor of a province that Fang Guoan wants.

So, Fang Guoan was planning to teach the Qing court a lesson to prove his worth.

The so-called selling at the price, Fang Guoan's purpose is not to really capture the city of Hangzhou, but to hurt the Qing army, but it can't be too painful, and if it hurts too much, then the opportunity to sell at the price will be lost.

I don't want to, being beaten like this by Wu Zheng, Fang Guoan has a feeling of annoyance and anger.

At that time, he really had the intention to end up with Wu Zheng, but after thinking about it carefully, Fang Guoan felt that forbearance was still necessary.

After all, the combat strength of Wu Zheng's department is still recognized, and the cooperation of Wu Zheng's department is indispensable in this battle.

Fang Guoan's army has already begun to cross the river.
