Turning his head, Wu Zheng said to the three hundred strong men he brought, "The same is true for you. In my heart, there is no distinction between closeness and alienation. Everything is determined by the number of killing enemies. Not only do you eat meat, but also for positions below the general flag. Those who accumulate military merits are promoted, and those who are inferior will be dismissed. The official will never be in vain for his own sake."

The brave and unstingy person asked loudly: "Sir, do you think this is serious?"

Wu Zheng said: "I have always been trustworthy. More than 300 brothers under my command can prove it. As long as you can follow me and kill the Tartars, the salary of two taels per month will be paid, and the food will be treated equally."

The so-called reward must be followed by a brave man, although this is not a heavy reward.

But for those who believe that they will die, Wu Zheng's words gave them hope.

After surviving, there is hope for a good life.

People always live for hope, right?

Wu Zheng shouted: "Give you a stick of incense. After eating this meal, go to Shining Town with me."

The crowd rushed to the meat pot in a swarm.

But Wu Zheng's eyes were a little wet. He thought to himself, brothers, do you know how many of you will die in this war?

....

It is said that kindness is not in charge of soldiers.

A general who cannot incite soldiers to die will not be called a good general.

The duty of being a general is to let people die.

The difference between the incompetent generals is whether the soldiers are worth the death.

Wu Zheng didn't think he was a good general.

Because he always couldn't bear to die one by one because of his incitement.

This is true for Wu Zheng, and so is Wu Zheng.

Take the army to Shining Town so that there will be fewer deaths.

But this has to be paid.

The price is Shining Town, which will become a battlefield.

For this reason, Wu Zheng would rather destroy Shining Town, or even mind destroying Wuzhuang.

In Wu Zheng's view, people die, and people die.

Shining Town is the only channel to Shaoxing Prefecture.

In other words, if the Tartars want to march into Kuaiji, Shining Town is the only way to go.

Wu Zheng was too familiar with Shining Town, so familiar that he could close his eyes and search for the complete Shining Street.

Shining Street is an ancient street.

The ground of the street is stone slabs. Due to the age of time, the concave and convexity formed after the stone slabs are damaged.

The deepest part can be buried.

Although I don’t know if I can bury the horse’s hooves, Wu Zheng is willing to give it a try and dig it deeper.

The street is less than one meter wide. From the second floor of the shops on both sides of the street, open the windows and the people on both sides reach out to hold each other's hands.

This is the terrain that Wu Zheng considered.

The terrain of mountains, rivers and rivers is useless to the Tatar cavalry.

The Tartars attacked Shaoxing with 2,000 people, and they would never be fools.

You must avoid water and walk around the mountains.

So, in Wu Zheng's view, the real terrain advantage is the town.

Especially Shining Street.

If the Tartars could be buried in Shining Street, it would be worth it even if they lost the entire street.

But Wu Zheng obviously did not expect that this resistance would be so great.

Wu Zheng grew up in Shining Town.

It is said that people from my hometown are not close.

The most difficult thing for the Chinese people to abandon is their homeland.

When I heard that Wu Zheng was going to move and expel the people, the whole Shining Town became excited.

Countless elders pointed at Wu Zheng and cursed.

These people all have deep or shallow memories in Wu Zheng's mind.

Countless residents threw rotten vegetables and rotten eggs at Wu Zheng.

The disgusting smell like ammonia was touching the body and face, and the taste was hard to express.

Wu Zheng stood up idly, allowing the people to vent.

All the soldiers were ordered to retreat.

Wu Zheng knew that this was what he owed to his hometown.

The dirty things around you have accumulated over your knees.

The cruel man even picked up a stone and smashed it.

Wu Zheng's forehead was bleeding.

With a sad cry, a figure rushed towards Wu Zheng like a bird pounced on the forest.

She used her delicate body to cover Wu Zheng.

Wu Xiaomei got up. When she saw this scene, she widened her eyes and cursed: "You are blind? Look at who my brother is? The sixth-rank 100 households in the court. He destroyed Shining Street to kill the Tartars, not to occupy your shop."

Pointing at the old man with gray hair, Wu Xiaomei was not merciless, "Are you all old and have you lived to a dog for decades? What did the Tartars do in Yangzhou? Have you never heard of what Jiading did? My brother escaped from Jiading's death. Is it just to stand here and let you beat and humiliate? You... you have no conscience... Woo!"

Wu Xiaomei burst into tears.

The scene gradually stabilized.

"My fellow villagers, listen to what Wu said." A heavy and old voice sounded.

Mr. Wu is here.

"Although the Wu family's ancestral home is not in Shangyu, it has been in Shining Town for a hundred years. I, Wu, are a human being, and I, must have heard of it. The so-called "no son is better than a father, and the dog son is unruly. Wu knew about it. It is indeed inappropriate to destroy Shining Street and drive away the villagers. But Wu thought that there would be no end to the nest? The Tartars are here, and you will be able to know your life and death. Do you want to keep this family business? "

Mr. Wu trembled with his beard and shouted: "There is nothing wrong with the dog! I would rather break my jade than to make it a complete tiles! Please witness the villagers. If Shining Street is destroyed and Wuzhuang is in danger, Wu raised a fire in public and burned Wuzhuang."

The voice is dull, but the power is sonorous.

Mr. Wu's prestige in Shining Town for decades was undoubtedly revealed at this time.

The people's shouts gradually faded, and they turned around silently.

The crowd gradually faded away.

Countless people went home speechlessly to pack up their already shabby clothes.

Countless women burst into tears secretly.

Countless children were hissing and crying.

Wu Zheng was filled with tears and bowed to Mr. Wu to the ground, "Dad, it's the child who is unfilial, which makes you embarrassed in front of the villagers."

Mr. Wu shouted with tears in his eyes, "Get up! Stand up! Remember my father's promise to the villagers just now. If you lose and your father dies, Wuzhuang...you will burn it!"

Then he slowed down and said, "Jiang'er, don't worry too much, Dad will be with you."

Wu Zheng said anxiously: "No, my father cannot stay in Wuzhuang. You and your younger sister will retreat to Shaoxing Prefecture."

Mr. Wu shook his head and said, "Let your little sister go. Dad is so old. Seeing that his only son is fighting for the country and running for his own life, how can he feel at ease?"

Wu Xiaomei cried and said, "If my father and brother don't leave, I will never leave. At least we are all together in life and death."

Dad Wu sternly said: "Are you going to disobey your father? You must leave! Go back to Wuzhuang now to pack up your things and go to Shaoxing overnight."

Wu Zheng pulled Wu Xiaomei, who was still about to speak, "Young sister, listen to my father's words, you have no eyes. You are a girl's house. You must not stay here. Once the war starts, you can't protect you. Also, take Xiaoman and go to Shaoxing Mansion to join us... Princess Changping, with the previous incense, she... I think she will take good care of you."
