Chapter 35 Wujiang County gathers together
In the dark night, Zhao Ming and his group ran northwest for a while, then turned south, and rushed to dawn.
At this time, everyone was far away from Jiading. Wang Deshun was from Nanzhi. He probably was about to arrive in Suzhou before Zhao Ming found a forest to rest.
At this time, the eighteen heroes lost more than half of them, but everyone was not sad, but they were filled with passion.
Zhao Ming turned over and got off the horse, found a clean place to sit down, recalling what happened just now, and felt a sense of pleasure in his heart, "Li Chengdong, who is in a grassy horse, dare to be yin, I will see how you get a job!"
Zhao Ming touched his chest, took out a wrinkled cigarette, lit it with a fire stick, took a sip, and spit out a cigarette ring.
When Wang Deshun saw his happy and enjoyable expression, he was stunned, "Guardian, what kind of cigarette are you?"
Zhao Ming said: "I used paper to roll the tobacco leaves from Dr. Li to take a sip, refreshing and comfortable."
Wang Deshun admired him in his heart. The garrison was really extraordinary. He even stole the father-in-law's things.
Zhao Ming spitted out a cigarette ring again. Seeing Wang De looking at him happily, he finished smoking a few times, and smiled and said, "The last one. When I take Luzon in the future, I will plant tobacco on the island, hire some people to produce cigarettes and cigars, so that you can taste it."
Wang Deshun nodded ignorantly, but was confused. What are cigarettes, cigars, and Luzon?
As he was talking, a man in Taoist robe rushed in and whispered: "The pursuers are coming."
This man was named Wang Zhengnan, also known as Wang Ruibo. He was a famous Wudang boxer in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and was also a patriot who rebelled against the Qing and restored the Ming Dynasty.
Zhao Ming met him near Kunshan. Seeing that he was very skilled in his kung fu, he invited him to save Jiading.
Zhao Ming jumped up when he heard the utterance, pulled the reins hard, "Go!"
Everyone turned over and rushed out of the woods, avoided the pursuit, and avoided the Qing army for two or three days. After two or three days, they finally rushed to the edge of Taihu Lake, met a large rebel army, and were advancing east and east.
The Qing army's troops seemed to be not near Taihu Lake. They did not see the Qing army near Taihu Lake. Instead, they saw groups of rebels, blatantly moving.
Wang Zhengnan asked how many people came back from fighting, "They said that Mr. Wu was fighting Wujiang County, and they went to help the battle!"
Zhao Ming was puzzled, "Which Mr. Wu?"
Wang Zhengnan and others shook their heads and didn't know. Zhao Ming pondered for a moment and pulled the reins of the horse, "Let's go to Wujiang, maybe Mr. Hou is there too!"
Zhao Ming went from Jiangyin to Jiading, and the rebels were attacked by Qing soldiers along the way. There was actually a soldier who took the initiative to attack the cities and plunder the land. He aroused his interest and felt that this rebel army might become a reinforcement army to rescue Jiangyin.
The group followed the rebel army to Wujiang. When they were about to arrive in Wujiang, a group of soldiers came towards them, escorting large and small chariots towards the southwest Taihu Lake.
Zhao Ming looked at him with a happy face and rushed over. The person who was escorting him was Wu Zhikui, the leader of the Jiading Army. When he saw Zhao Ming, he hurriedly greeted him, "Brother Zhao, I thought you were finished and didn't want to see you again as much as possible!"
Zhao Ming laughed, "The person who can kill me is not born yet!" He looked at the team pushing the big and small carts, "Where is Mr. Hou? You guys are..."
"Mr. Hou is in Wujiang City!" Wu Zhikui explained: "After we left Jiading, we walked for more than a day, and the Qing army suddenly began to chase and kill. Everyone rushed to Taihu Lake. On the way, they met Wu Xianggong's troops and horses to rescue him, ambushed the pursuers, and then followed Wu Xianggong to attack Wujiang."
The two talked for a while, and Zhao Ming gradually figured out who the husband Wu they mentioned was.
The name of Wu Xianggong was Wu Yi, with his courtesy name Risheng and his pseudonym Shuoqing. He was a Jinshi in the 16th year of Chongzhen. He and his fellow villager Sun Zhaokui, the students Chen Zigui, rebelled together and formed the "Bai Yao Party" to fight against the Qing Dynasty in Taihu Lake, and once became the largest anti-Qing armed force in Jiangnan.
Wu Zhikui said for a while, clasped her fists and said, "Mr. Hou will be very happy to see Brother Zhao safe. I have a military order now and it is not convenient to return. So I send a subordinate to take Brother Zhao to see Mr. Hou!"
Zhao Ming bowed his hand and said, "Brother Wu, please give me a try!"
...
Half an hour later, Zhao Ming rushed to Wujiang County. The battle in the city had already ended. Smoke and dust were rolling everywhere, and corpses and rubble were everywhere on the streets. Rebel soldiers were extinguishing the flames and maintaining order.
When Hou Dong saw the Qing army chasing him, he knew that the Qing army was not trustworthy and that Zhao Ming would inevitably be in danger and was mostly killed by the Qing army.
Therefore, after he was rescued by Wu Yi, he asked someone to make a spiritual throne for Zhao Ming, and he also wrote a tribute to him personally. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ming was fine, but instead found Wu Jiang and was overjoyed.
Wu Yi had heard about Zhao Ming and laughed at him, "Mr. Hou, call people quickly, I want to take a good look at this hero."
Hou Dongzeng smiled on his face, "Zhao Bo'an, breaking through from Jiangyin, more than 20 cavalry defeated Li Chengdong, captured Jiannu Beizi alive, and saved the entire city of Jiading. He is a hero of the world. He will never disappoint you, Shuoqing."
Soon, Zhao Ming, Wang Deshun, Wang Zhengnan and others were invited into the lobby of the county government. Wu Yi walked up and raised his hand to let everyone not speak. He looked up and down at several people, his eyes fell on Zhao Ming, and said with a smile: "You are Zhao Ming, Zhao Bo'an."
Zhao Ming nodded slightly, and Wang Deshun’s chest stopped next to him, “Yes, this is our Zhao Shoujie.”
Seeing the extraordinary demeanor in front of him, Zhao Ming clasped his fists seriously, "I guess this is Mr. Wu!"
"Haha~" Wu Yi laughed, "You are just polite brothers."
Although Wu Yi was a scholar, he was not a weak scholar, but a Confucian general like Sun Chuanting, with a very extraordinary demeanor.
"Boan, how did you escape!" Hou Dongzeng asked excitedly at this time.
Zhao Ming smiled but said nothing, Wang Deshun next to him pushed his back and told him all the things that happened after Hou Dongzeng left.
He usually listens to a lot of commentary, and talks one by one, making Zhao Ming's deeds that he was trapped, and he immediately made a decision to pull his horse back and rush back to the rush, and he performed the same thrillingly. He also beautified himself and brags into a hero who is only a little inferior to Zhao Ming.
Wang Deshun used storytelling to interpret it. When he talked, Wu Yi looked at Zhao Ming from time to time, feeling very surprised.
When he heard that Zhao Ming stabbed Tunqi with a spear, he nodded repeatedly, "Okay! Jiannu attacked Jiangnan without any loss of a general, which made us feel ashamed. Today, Bo'an killed Jiannu and a baby son, which was really satisfying!"
As he said that, Wu Yi waved his hand, "Come here, prepare wine, I want to celebrate Bo'an's achievements."
Zhao Ming clasped his fists seriously, "Mr. Wu, I think this is not the time to celebrate the celebration of drinking and celebration, but it is more important to discuss major issues."
