Chen Bancheng trembled with the fat on his face and pointed at Wu Zheng and said, "You think Chen is stupid. If you come here like this, even if I want to save money, I can't save it. If I don't pay this money, will the Shen family still have the face to stay in Shaoxing?"

Wu Zhengsuan understood and looked at Chen Bancheng and smiled: "Uncle Shen, look at what you said, these are two things. If these 800 taels are considered gifts, they will be heavy! How about you take them back?"

Chen Bancheng turned around and said to Dad Wu, "Look, look, I gave the money, but he still has to be unreasonable."

Dad Wu understood, glared at Wu Zheng, and then said to Chen Bancheng: "Brother Shen, the dog son is useless. The 800 taels of gift is indeed heavy. Otherwise, collect 100 taels and take them back in the rest?"

Chen Bancheng said, "I can't take it back. I only recognize him but not my father. If I take it back, I might even bother him."

Wu Zheng burst out laughing, and was greeted by Mr. Wu's father.

Dad Wu took Chen Bancheng's hand and said, "Brother Shen, his descendants must have a blessing in their grandson. I watched the son grow up. He is a good child. Since the money has been sent, let's keep it. I will take Brother Shen to have a heart."

Chen Bancheng calmed down after hearing what Mr. Wu said and said to Wu Zheng: "Don't forget your original promise. If you don't wipe out the bandits, you will have to spit out a lot of money."

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Uncle Shen, don't worry, I have arranged this matter. After today, you can wait for the good news."

....

Zhu Yihai did not come, but he brought blessings to Zhang Guowei and others.

This is not surprising. The identity gap, and Wu Zheng is not married after all, and it is understandable that His Highness, the Superintendent, insists on his identity.

Zhu Mai also asked Uncle Zheng to give the gift himself.

Although it was a bit awkward, Wu Zheng accepted it.

Back in the bridal chamber, Wu Zheng opened it and saw that the box looked very familiar.

After thinking about it, I remember that when the court could not provide pensions due to the battle on Shining Street that day, Zhu Ma asked Uncle Zheng to bring this box, saying that there was a Nanzhu inside, which was worth three to five thousand taels.

Wu Zheng opened it and a pearl as big as a child's fist inside was shining under the candlestick seal, and it seemed like a flowing halo floating above the beads.

Even if he doesn't know the goods, Wu Zheng knew that this bead is of great value.

But Wu Zheng felt a little throbbing.

Zhu Moshi's life is not easy.

As a princess, it is very shameful to take out the same thing twice and give it to the same person.

In other words, there is nothing to show off around Zhu Mai.

At this time, Zhou Simin, who had been removed from Wu Zheng's head, saw this bead and showed a look of surprise on her face.

"This bead was given by the late emperor when His Highness the Princess was ten years old."

"You recognize it?"

"Yes. When the princess left Beijing, she had nothing else on her body, and she only brought this bead. The expenses she spent on her way south were collected from the Zhou family."

Wu Zheng said intimately, it was true.

He carefully put the pearl back into the box and handed it to Zhou Simin, "I'm so happy to keep it, find a chance to return it."

Zhou Simin was stunned and said angrily: "The princess gave it to you. If you return it, will you live up to the princess?"

Wu Zheng sighed and explained his guess to Zhou Simin.

"The princess needs this bead to be with her. Do what I said."

Zhou Simin understood, but she didn't answer, "I've concealed my life experience now. I'm afraid I'm not going to see the princess. If you want to pay it back, you'd better pay it yourself."

Wu Zheng thought about it and put the beads down.

Looking at Zhou Simin's face, Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Are you really ready?"

Zhou Simin was stunned at first, then her face turned red and she quickly turned around and ran away.

Wu Zheng was chasing him in a hurry, and not long after, the beauty was in her arms.

Zhou Simin gently pressed her face against Wu Zheng's chest and said softly: "Actually... I have fallen in love with you since the first time I saw you."

Wu Zheng was a little surprised, and gently lifted Zhou Simin's face with his fingers and asked jokingly: "Then are you still going against me everywhere?"

Zhou Simin broke free from Wu Zheng's fingers, buried her face deeply in Wu Zheng's arms, and said angrily: "How can you understand the worries of your daughter's family?"

....

Hangzhou Prefecture.

It was indeed a little panic at this time.

Of course, the panic was not entirely because the three thousand elite troops of Jianlu went south were completely wiped out.

At least not the main reason.

The main reason is that the Qing army in Hangzhou needed to temporarily urgently transfer to Huguang. The plan to attack Shaoxing early may have a miscarriage.

The Qing army is currently in short supply.

The huge territory of the Ming Dynasty needs to be swallowed, and it is indeed a bit difficult for only hundreds of thousands of Qing troops.

Even if the areas that have been occupied and ruled have people from time to time.

The Ming army surrendered a lot, but the Qing court could not fully believe it, so they had to send troops to monitor it.

This is not the most important thing.

Importantly, the Qing army frequently encountered emergency on the Huguang battlefield in the central part of the city.

He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, appointed by Zhu Youjian, the Longwu regime of the Tang Dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty, recruited Li Guo, Gao Yigong, Hao Yaoqi, Liu Tichun and others, the remaining troops of the former Li Zicheng Dashun Army, and entered the Huguang battlefield.

The attack on Jingzhou and Wuchang, a major military city occupied by the Qing army, put the Qing army on the Huguang battlefield in a situation of complete collapse.

Dorgon, who was appointed as the general of Shunzhi and was Prince Rui at the time, learned about the military situation, urgently transferred Dorgon, Hangzhou Dorobel and Pingnan General Luke Dehun to move his troops west to rescue the Huguang battlefield.

So Dorobellekdehun personally led the elite Manchus and Mongolian forces with the general Aisin Gioro Gong Adei to go up from Jiangning to support Wuchang.

Dorgon also transferred Prince Yu Duoduo, led 3,000 elite Tartars and 60,000 surrendered Ming troops to station in Jiangning. He temporarily put down his plan to attack Shaoxing and prepared to visit Shaoxing, after stabilizing the Huguang battlefield, he would visit Shaoxing, Zhoushan, Ningbo and other places.

But the problem is here.

Luke Dehun originally planned to attack Shaoxing early, but in the past few months, the Qing court has been slowly increasing troops to Hangzhou.

The three thousand Tartar cavalry sent to raid the hinterland of Shaoxing were the real Manchu and Mongolian elites under Luke Dehun.

There were not many elite Manchus and Mongolians under Luke Dehun's command, only 15,000, but the Ming army surrendered in Hangzhou Prefecture had 100,000.

The fact that the Ming army did not send surrendered troops, but sent elite Manchu and Mongolian troops was mainly worried that the surrendered troops would be instigated by the Ming people as soon as they entered the hinterland of Shaoxing.

Luke Dehun could not see the rise and fall of the other. The power of the Ming army in Shaoxing grew, which would increase the difficulty of attacking Shaoxing next year.

In addition, he always thought in his heart that his elite was enough to be ten.

Now, a bolt from the blue, and all three thousand elite Tartars were lost. Then, Luke Dehun was ordered to be transferred to Huguang, and he could not leave more elite Tartars in Hangzhou.

This made Luke Dehun necessary to take away more Ming surrendered troops.

Because I was afraid that as soon as I left, the Ming army surrendered to the army immediately.

Lukedehun left only three thousand elite Tartars and 30,000 surrendered Ming troops.
