Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 51

In Matsuura Town.

Chen Wu's soldiers are still looting all over the city, without military discipline, they are more fierce than the bandits, and they are crying everywhere.When these soldiers faced the Tartars going south to the Three Wus, they ran away one by one, running faster than rabbits, but when facing innocent people, they were more ferocious than tigers.

In the front hall of the largest house in the city, Chen Wu was drinking with some of his subordinates.

"Uncle, Songpu Town is small, but it's really fat." An officer with a scar on his face said with a smile. There were many boxes, large and small, in the hall, filled with gold, silver, copper coins, and a lot of gold. The silver jewellery, many of which were still wet with blood, had just been snatched.

People from all walks of life let go of looting. According to the old rules, half of the looting must be turned over, and half of the turned-in will be sent to Chen Wu.

At that time, Chen Wu will get [-]% and half, then officers at all levels will get another [-]%, and the remaining [-]% will be used as military expenses.

Anyway, these days they couldn't count on the court's salary, they had to rely on themselves, and they had long been accustomed to this method, especially since Hongguang was captured, these military leaders were completely freed, and each relied on his own ability.

The king of Yiyang Chongming supervised the country, and the only thing he could give them was empty titles, and they had to send money, food and other support.

"Minulate 1 taels of silver ingots and send a boat to Chongming to pay tribute to King Yiyang."

"Isn't that too much?" An officer was reluctant.

Chen Wu waved his hand, "Money is nothing, it's everywhere here, just grab it."

"That's right, I heard that King Lu copied Xie Sanbin's house in Ningbo this time, but he copied a lot of gold and silver. It is said that the gold was only copied 3 taels."

"Hahaha, wait for the dynasty to come first, let's kill them, then it will be ours."

"If you want me to say, there is no need to wait for the dynasty to come first. Let's do it ourselves, but it will all be ours."

Chen Wu stroked his beard, "Then Wang Zhiren and Zhang Mingzhen are more capable of fighting, so be careful not to bite back." He is quite clear about his men and horses, the ones who can really fight are the servants raised by officers at all levels, and these servants are easily unwilling. Damage, this is the cost of everyone's bottom of the box.

"Tell all the sentries to be careful, and send more Yebushou to go out and watch, and be careful that Wang Zhiren and Zhang Mingzhen are coming over."

"Uncle, don't worry, haven't you checked everything out? King Nalu has a few battalions of troops, only two or three thousand soldiers. They are probably still waiting for us to pay a visit."

Another person laughed and said, "This king of Lu seems to have a whole body, and everyone else is a soldier. I'm afraid that there will be fewer people, but he is an idiot, and he is trying his best to reduce the number of troops. Wang Zhiren's [-] Zhejiang General Town Well, he was made up for others and there are only two battalions of people left, this kind of people, why do they come out to join in the fun and serve as some kind of supervisors."

"Hahaha!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

These people serve the king of Yiyang to supervise the country, who dare to claim the title of "ten thousand people" without a battalion of soldiers?

Huang Fei has [-] people, and he dares to be called [-] elite.

Didn't Chen Wu also recruit strong men everywhere, and put together more than 1 horses and horses? In troubled times, the more soldiers, the more capital, who would think that capital is too much.

King Nalu acted like a nerd, what can such a person do.

Not to mention that he is not even willing to give an earl, even if he is willing to give, Chen Wu is not willing to take this kind of person as his master.

"Come on, have a drink. As soon as the dynasty arrives first, let's go and take that hairless King Lu."

"Uncle, at that time, with this achievement in destroying the puppet dynasty, Uncle will definitely be promoted to Marquis."

"Hahaha." Chen Wu was proud, "This town has been granted the title of marquis, and I will also find a general for you to join the army."

"Dry!"

·····
Outside Matsuura Town.

Zhu Yihai led more than a thousand people under the banner of Chen Jun, swaggering all the way in their robes.

Zhang Mingzhen hurried up with the battalion general and school to meet him.

"Why did Your Highness come to this battlefield?" He glared at his brother Zhang Mingyang angrily, "Bastard, how did you work as an errand?"

Zhu Yihai patted Zhang Mingzhen, his body armor was covered with blood stains, it can be seen that this journey was not easy.

"Gu wants to come, tell Gu first what's going on now?"

"Chen Wu is in front of Songpu Town, and Dong Pingshi is also inside."

"The minister scratched his tongue a few times, then Chen Wuzheng sent someone to ask the dynasty to lead the troops to meet up, and he was so daring that he wanted to go to Cixi to attack His Highness."

Zhu Yihai smiled disapprovingly, "I'm just asking you, what are you waiting for?"

Zhang Mingzhen came all the way last night, attacked several waves of rebellious soldiers along the way, showing the style of a general, did not let a single rebellious soldier escape, took them down and tied them up, fought all the way here, but did not disturb the proud Chen Wu and others .

"Your Highness, then Chen Wu and Wang Chaoxian..." Zhang Mingzhen didn't know what to say for a while.

"They entrusted King Yiyang to supervise the country in Chongming, right? This guy already knows about it."

"Your Highness, shall we still fight?"

"Gu asked someone to come to see you last night, didn't you see anyone?"

"I see, I just want to ask, do you want to think about it again?"

Zhu Yihai looked at Zhang Mingzhen, "What are you thinking about?"

"Should the Tartars be unanimous with the outside world first?"

Zhu Yihai took Zhang Mingzhen's arm and said very seriously, "Last night in Minghechang Town, I told Chen Quan and Mingyang very clearly that King Yiyang and others raised the banner to resist the captives in Chongming. I am very relieved that my Huangming Zhu family is not all soft-headed at last."

"Gu is willing to join forces with King Yiyang to fight against the captives and restore Daming together. Even when the Tartars are present, don't ask who is the first and who is orthodox. The king of the middle, whoever regains the two capitals first, will be the king."

Zhang Mingzhen was stunned by these words.

Originally, he had already arrived here before dawn, so he could launch a surprise attack and take action against this unsuspecting army.But he stopped because he knew that they were not deserters, but soldiers of Chen Wu, Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian appointed by King Yiyang.

He hesitated.

At this time, it seems bad for one's own people to beat one's own people.

"Hou Fu, Gu and King Yiyang are descendants of the great ancestors, and they fight against the Tartars in no particular order. However, Chen Wu, a thief, cannot be tolerated by Gu. He led a group of deserters, Lu General, and robbed families all the way. This is not at all Resisting captivity volunteers, this is a group of bandits. Gu is now a supervisor of Yuedi, how can he sit back and watch the people being robbed and remain indifferent? Don't say that Gu is now a supervisor, even if he is only the supervisor and governor of Zhejiang, even if he is only a Ningbo Prefect, Gu will cut Chen Wu under the sword today!"

"Your Highness, why don't you go to Songpu Town to meet Chen Wu, explain to him, and warn him?"

"No need, there are too many people like Chen Wu in troubled times, but Gu is absolutely unwilling to tolerate. Gu is the same sentence, resisting captives and driving Tartars, one counts as one, and Gu is willing to join forces, but for Chen Wu Those who beat the Tartars with oil on their feet, who harm their own people but are as fierce as tigers and wolves, will never let go."

"Hou Fu, if you hesitate, you can stay here to rest and go and take his dog's head alone!"

With Zhu Yihai's attitude so clear, Zhang Mingzhen also knew that his hesitation made Jianguo unhappy.

He gritted his teeth immediately, "I deserve to die, please let me atone for my crime and lead my troops to take down the thief."

"Since Gu has come, there is no reason to just sit around and watch the show, let's go together."

The three camps gathered more than a thousand people, and there was no reduction in staff. Although Chen Wu had seen the envoy of Lu Jianguo, he still didn't pay attention to Lu Jianguo, thinking that he was the same as Yiyang King.I always thought it was him who took the initiative.

He also fantasized about playing with Zhu Yihai to slow down the army, waiting for the dynasty to come first and catch Zhu Yihai all at once.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Mingzhen, Zhu Yihai and the others attacked so quickly that they even reached his door, but he sent out all kinds of people to plunder without even a normal precaution, and he was pierced like a rotten net without knowing it. .

I always thought that when I came to Yuedi and stayed away from the Qing army, I was already safe, I could do whatever I wanted, and I could sit back and relax.

Zhang Mingzhen somewhat regretted yesterday's hesitation, and was eager to make contributions, so he personally took his servants and ran towards Songpu Town under the banner of Chen Wu's subordinates captured last night.

Holding a binoculars in his hand, Zhu Yihai watched Zhang Mingzhen and his party from afar.

It was easier than expected. Chen Wu's subordinates in Songpu, after seeing the banner of their own family, didn't even come over to check, so they just let them pass by swaggeringly.

Even early in the morning, the gates of Songpu Town were just open.

Zhu Yihai's heart was calm.

At this time, what he was thinking about was still the King Yiyang who appeared suddenly. There are not many records in the historical materials. It seems that in the difficult battle in Jiangyin, King Yiyang once sent people to save Jiangyin, but there was no effort. Not long after Jiangyin's death, the tide of anti-Qing in Wu was wiped out by the Qing army little by little.

It seems that King Yiyang later went south to defect to King Lu, and it seemed that he later went to the Zheng family of Fujian.

Those people under him, Huang Fei, Wu Zhikui, Huang Binqing, Shen Tingyang, Jing Benche, etc., died anyway or went south anyway.

Compared with King Lu who fought against the Qing Dynasty for 18 years, this group of people is like a bubble, which shatters when the sun shines on it.

Historically, in the early days of the Southern Ming Dynasty, it was Lu Jianguo in eastern Zhejiang and Emperor Longwu in Fujian that really made a difference. The two joined hands and had a great potential, but they turned swords and soldiers at each other. It's heartbreaking for the son to be self-absorbed.

Before he played the flag of the prison for the first time, it was also to seize the preemption and avoid another internal fight between Tang and Lu.Unexpectedly, now there is another King Yiyang.

Judging from the attitudes of Zhang Mingzhen, Shen Chenquan and others, in fact, the courtiers of Daming still do not want to fight among themselves.

This should be a good thing.

But Zhu Yihai can't tolerate people like Chen Wu either.

Of course, this is not only a blow to the rebellious soldiers and deserters, but also a clear statement of the three Wu Yiyang Wang Jianguo.

He didn't say he wouldn't recognize King Yiyang's supervision of the country, but he couldn't give up the supervision of the country himself.

So now he can only say that Wu and Yue joined forces and fought against the captives side by side. As for the future, the first to enter Guanzhong will be the king.

This is a concession, and I don't want to fight for an orthodoxy first.

But he also knew that this matter would not be easy to solve.

He attacked Chen Wu, even if he used Chen Wu's plundering as an excuse, it would be very difficult to get over it, and the King of Yiyang would probably regard him as the first to start the war.

It's a dilemma.

Zhu Yihai could only take one step at a time.

"Your Highness, Mr. Zhang has entered the city."

Zhu Yihai returned to his guard and raised his binoculars. Sure enough, Zhang Mingzhen had already entered the city and was controlling the city gate. His personal soldiers were waving flags to signal this direction.

Zhu Yihai put away his thoughts, "Follow me!"
