Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Duke Xingguo doesn't have to worry too much about the intensity of this battle. In my judgment, the Qing court was more harsh and weak on the outside. Just after I got the news, the Qing court had already recruited soldiers in more than 20 prefectures in the north. It can be imagined how tight the Qing court's troops have reached."

"You mean... in this battle, the Qing court was just scaring my court?"

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "No. The Qing court wants to take revenge, so there is no doubt about this. After all, a prince was killed. If he doesn't say a word, the people's hearts will disperse and it will be difficult to lead the team."

"What do you mean?"

"The Duke of the State should have heard that the process of chewing gold three axes, right?" Wu Zheng laughed, "The Qing army probably only blocked it, and it would be easy to fight later. The newly recruited troops of the Qing court were all Han people. These soldiers were untrained and unstable. You can imagine how much combat power they could have was just to make up for the numbers and meet the situation. Therefore, the Duke of the State should pay attention to Jiergalang's three axes."

Wang Zhiren nodded in agreement and said, "Since Zhoushan navy helps, you will be more than 60% sure to defend the river... Besides, don't you also say that you can place some Qing army landing if necessary?"

Wu Zhengzhengrong said: "You can only let the Qing army land on Yingtian Prefecture, because Yingtian Prefecture has enough defensive forces, and the waters of Zhenjiang Prefecture must not be relaxed. Once the Qing army lands there, it will be like entering a no-man's land, and the situation will be decayed."

"I see."

Wu Zheng said: "I have studied Jirgalang in the past few days. When I was young, I was brave and good at fighting. But now I am old and almost fifty. As the prince of the regent, I was suppressed by Dorgon. Under this situation, once Jirgalang's attack was set, I would hesitate. After all, for him, nothing is a merit. Therefore, at the beginning of the war, the main force of the Qing army would attack very fiercely, but as long as we can withstand and annihilate part of it, Jirgalang would become very careful... Haha. I thought of Jirgalang becoming a careful look."

Wang Zhiren was infected by Wu Zheng's laughter, and his face became lighter, "You make sense. This battle may not be as unbearable as I thought."

The two immediately discussed the contact information of the two armies and other matters.

At this time, Song An came in quietly and presented a letter to Wu Zheng, "Young Master, the urgent report I just sent."

Wu Zheng took it and opened it and looked at it. His face suddenly changed. When he saw it, Wu Zheng cursed with hatred: "What do these two ignorant bastards want to do?"

Wang Zhiren was shocked and asked anxiously: "Wu Zheng, did something big happen?"

Wu Zheng was so angry that he couldn't speak, so he handed the letter to Wang Zhiren stiffly, and then gasped on the side.

Wang Zhiren took the letter in surprise and saw that his face changed drastically, just like Wu Zheng. He said, "This... how could this be possible? How could Yilin surrender to the Qing Dynasty? How could the navy surrender to the Qing Dynasty?"

Wang Zhiren's hand was trembling, and he suddenly said, "No... Qian Qiaogong, isn't Shen Zhiyuan yours? Why would they surrender to the Qing Dynasty... How could they be in the Navy?"

When Wu Zheng saw the letter, he knew that this was impossible.

Shen Zhiyuan went to Qing?

He doesn't believe it if he beat him to death.

What's more, if Qian Qiaogong is there, Qian Qiaogong is afraid that he will die for two or three times, and it will be impossible for him to invest in it.

So, Wu Zheng immediately understood the mystery.

He also immediately realized the intention of Chen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong's move.

Wang Zhiren suddenly jumped up, pointing at Wu Zheng and said in a daze, "I understand, is this matter your instructed? You have already sent Qian Qiaogong privately and Chen Zhiyuan went to reinforce, right? But why don't you understand, even if this matter was hidden from the Qing court, what will happen next? These soldiers were designated as rebels before, but the court did not implicate their families. Now the evidence of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty is conclusive. Next, the families of these soldiers will definitely be investigated by the court... You... you are too cruel!"

Wu Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "What did I instruct? If it was really my instruction, why should I show you this letter? Duke Xingguo guessed it at a glance, who can I hide this matter?"

Wang Zhiren thought about it and sat down dejectedly, "It's over, now it's all over, and tens of thousands of people will be implicated by it."

Wu Zheng told Wang Zhiren about Qian Qiaogong and Chen Zhiyuan privately led people to reinforce the Jiangbei Navy.

Wang Zhiren also smiled bitterly and said, "Don't these two people think of the consequences of this matter?"

Wu Zheng snorted: "Wang Yilin may not have thought of it, but Qian Qiaogong, how could Chen Zhiyuan not have thought of it? But Qian Qiaogong thought that he would not have done it. This matter was probably initiated by Chen Zhiyuan."

Wang Zhiren said in surprise: "Since they can think of the consequences, then do it? Isn't this pushing the soldiers' families into the fire pit?"

Wu Zheng Youyou said: "Maybe it was because they knew that they made up their minds."

Wang Zhiren can understand the meaning of this sentence.

Wang Zhiren was shocked. He pointed at Wu Zheng with a trembling finger and said, "It's crazy, it's crazy... It's just you, you, have so many madmen."

Wu Zheng sneered: "Wang Yilin is the nephew of the Duke, and he still can't get my name."

"That was also ruined by your subordinates!" Wang Zhiren angrily retorted.

With his eyes wide open, Wang Naren frowned and said, "It is difficult for them to win the trust of the Qing court. Once the Qing court sees it through, not only will the past efforts be wasted, but so many innocent families will be sacrificed in vain."

But Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "The Qing court must believe it."

"How do you say this?"

"The key to this is not whether the Qing court believes it, but whether the Qing court is willing to believe it." Wu Zheng said while thinking, "Imagine that a group of people who fought with the Qing army in blood and surrendered suddenly. What kind of momentum and majesty is this? In addition, this is the nephew of Duke Xingguo, the only son of the Taifu of the dynasty, and the direct descendant of Duke Zhenguo. How could the Qing court let go of such good things that boosted the morale and shocked the hearts of the people of the world? Now the Qing army is about to launch an attack. It takes a lot of troops and time to wipe out this army. Compared with the loss of thousands of troops and countless supplies... Haha, I will definitely choose to believe it when I change my position!"

Wang Zhiren understood and said, "This is reasonable, but the problem is that if the Qing court only believed it on the surface as you said, then this army would be strictly under the supervision, and even if the military power changes hands, the effect of this in the future will be greatly reduced, and even become a one-step abandonment."

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, I can't figure out what the two of them are fighting. It's too difficult to achieve this step... But now, we can only choose to trust. Trust them will definitely do it. There is no other way."
