Wu Zheng was made angry and funny by this kid, "Qian Qiaogong, I want you to stay and train a team of people who can use artillery. In the battle of Hangzhou Prefecture, there is not more than you, and there is not less than you. But training a team of people who can use artillery will be a great achievement for the future anti-Qing cause. What do you think?"

Qian Qiaogong hesitated and said, "Why don't you let your subordinates join the war first? It's not too late to train after this battle?"

Wu Zheng said sternly: "How many days later is such a heavy weapon? I have to seize the day. Besides, it is impossible to train artillery soldiers in less than a year or two. If this battle is unfavorable, the Qing army will go south in the spring of next year and cannot catch up. Will you resist these four artillery pieces, or will it be cheaper for the Tartars?"

Qian Qiaogong was stunned by Wu Zheng. He didn't think so much for a moment and replied in frustration: "Then the subordinate acts according to the will of the master. It's just a cavalry battalion..."

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "The cavalry battalion has been training for several months. Is there anyone who can use it now?"

Qian Qiaogong said: "The deputy of the humble master, that is, the humble uncle Qian Sudian, can share the worries of the adults."

Wu Zheng was stunned, Qian Qiaogong's Ninth Uncle?

Uncle, this cavalry battalion has really been turned into a one-man role for his Qian family.

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

"Subordinates obey the order."

"Wait a minute, I'll tell you that Qian Sudian will come to see me."

"yes."

....

Regardless of whether he was worried that Fang Guoan would surrender to the Qing Dynasty or not, the combat preparations began quickly.

Time is tight, and the day after tomorrow will start.

Wu Zheng had no time to go back to Wuzhuang.

After sending a soldier to inform the meeting, Wu Zheng began to select subordinates.

Chen Sheng can't go this time, and Wu Zheng feels a little regretful.

Compared with these recruits who only suppressed the bandits once, Chen Sheng's battalion could make Wu Zheng feel more at ease.

But Chen Sheng stayed in the village to train the more than 600 bandits and was more important and more meaningful.

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

He also left a way out for the three thousand soldiers under his command.

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

At most, it only delayed the Qing army's journey south.

Without the Yangtze River defense line, there is almost no danger to defend in the south of the Yangtze River.

What's so annoying is that Zhu Yihai also killed the envoy sent by the Longwu Dynasty.

It would be fine if you said you didn’t accept it, but you just passed by your own.

Killing the envoy would be like a complete flirting. From then on, Shaoxing Prefecture faced not only an enemy of the Qing court, but also the Longwu Dynasty in the south. How can a small area in eastern Zhejiang face the dilemma of being attacked from both sides?

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

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

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

At this time, Mr. Wu came with her sister Wu and Zhou Simin.

"You, turn around." As soon as Dad Wu entered the door, he pointed at Wu Zheng and ordered loudly, "Lying on the table."

Wu Zheng turned around strangely, holding his hands on the edge of the desk.

At this time, Dad Wu shook his head at Zhou Simin. Zhou Simin stepped forward and lifted Wu Zheng's clothes behind him, revealing his back.

There was a cold behind his back, and Wu Zheng was depressed. What was he going to do?

I'm sorry in my heart, let me go, can't my dad perform a mom-in-law tattoo?

Wu Zheng turned around and was about to say, Dad, don’t make trouble.

But when he saw that, wow, Dad Wu took the family law from Wu Xiaomei and thrust over without saying a word.

"Pia" sounded, and Wu Zheng made a furious blow and screamed.

"Dad, what are you doing? What's wrong with the child? You said that."

Unexpectedly, after Dad Wu sucked this time, he stopped.

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

I heard Dad Wu sigh, "You are the only one in the Wu family. I originally thought that I could get you married and have children and continue the incense, but I didn't want to. This battle came so quickly. Now it's too late to say anything. Dad thought, if you can't come back, you can beat you up, and Dad will not support you for so many years in vain."

As he said that, tears rose up.

Wu Zheng almost started to flee after hearing this. The old man came to the military camp for this matter and drew himself for no reason.

But when I think about it, Wu Zheng was also a little sad.

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

I ran away from home three years ago, and now I am back, and there are another battle after another.

The time spent with my father is counting.

Thinking of this, tears flashed through Wu Zheng's eyes. He stepped forward and took the family law from Wu Xiaomei. Then he knelt down in front of Wu Dad, holding the family law in his hands and said, "Dad, then you can beat the child a few more times. No matter whether you win or lose in this battle, it will not stop the Qing army from going south. The child may not have time to accompany his father in the future."

Dad Wu took over the family law and trembled his hands. He couldn't continue to fight, "Forget it... Forget it, if you really die outside, no matter how far away, Dad will collect your body."

After saying that, he staggered away.

Wu Xiaomei snatched the family law from Wu Zheng, glared at Wu Zheng and said, "After crossing the river, think more about dad and me...and her."

After saying that, he went to chase Dad Wu.

Zhou Simin stepped forward and helped Wu Zheng up, stretched out his arms 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 apologized, held up Zhou Simin's chin, looked at her tears and said, "Don't worry, I won't die so easily. This battle is not very dangerous, at worst I will lead my army to escape back."

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

....

Puyang is named after Pujiang.

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

"The lord is too bullying!" Fang Guoan was still angry at Wu Zheng's domineering arrogance.

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

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

Fang Guoan was also a dignified Duke of Yue, but Boluo's bid was only a third-rank inspector (literary) and commander (martial).

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

So, Fang Guoan planned to teach the Qing court a lesson to prove his value.

The so-called "Should be sold at a price", Fang Guoan's purpose is not to really capture Hangzhou City, but to hurt the Qing army, but not too much pain. If it hurts too much, it will lose the opportunity to wait for a price.

Unexpectedly, Fang Guoan felt angry and embarrassed by Wu Zheng's attack.

At that time, Wu Zheng was really determined to kill him, but when I think about it carefully, Fang Guoan felt that it was necessary to tolerate it.

After all, the combat power of Wu Zheng's troops is still recognized, and this battle is indispensable for the cooperation of Wu Zheng's troops.
