Hot.

The scorching sun is like fire.

The willows cross the river with the wind.

The first thing I said to Zhai Zhe was, "Lu Wang is not a suitable candidate for the country."

The day before yesterday, Zhu Dadian and Ruan Dacheng escaped from Wuhu and informed him of the nightmare news that Emperor Hongguang was captured in Wuhu, and Huang Degong was attacked by the generals who secretly surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. After being injured, he committed suicide. Ma Shiying discussed with the bureaucrats in Hangzhou, and Empress Dowager Zou issued an imperial edict to recommend Lu Wang Zhu Youfang as the governor, Zhang Bingzhen as the Minister of War, and Huang Daozhou as the Grand Secretary of the Dongge.

"I hope to hear it carefully!"

"The King of Lu was afraid that he would become the target of the Qing army after ascending the throne, so he was unwilling to serve as the governor. Later, Ma Fu discussed with him and lured him to take office after he took office with the Qing army and ceded the four counties in Jiangnan. The King of Lu reluctantly took office."

"Is this the wise king mentioned by the Donglin Party?" Zhai Zhe smiled.

Why can he laugh when Liu Suifeng is depressed?

"Do you think the Qing barbarians are very powerful?" Zhai Zhe saw his bad face, and smiled and pinched his fingers and calculated: "There are 60,000 people in the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia that crossed the river Duoduo, and there were 150,000 and 60,000 people in the three towns of Jiangbei. There were less than 250,000 people in the entire battle, most of whom were surrendered. The 250,000 people conquered Jiangnan. Do you know why?"

He smiled confidently, as if he was looking at millions of soldiers without anything.

Seeing his expression, Liu Suifeng felt at ease and replied: "The court has lost the hearts of military and civilians, and the people have ignored the change of masters in the world."

"Yes! So it's not a battlefield at all. When Mr. Lu died, I said, "People are despised first, and others are despised." The Ming Dynasty has a territory of thousands of miles and a population of thousands of people. It was defeated by the 100,000 Qing captives in Liaodong. Is it because the soldiers are not good at fighting?"

Over the past 19 years, Zhai Zhe has traveled all over the country, worked as a businessman, accepted refugees, and called brothers with military generals such as Jiang Xiang, and appreciated each other with scholars such as Chen Zilong, repaid Lu Xiangsheng's loyalty and borrowed Xu Du's head. He gradually understood the Ming Dynasty.

I come from the future, what are my strengths? No, first of all, you need to know your own weaknesses. If you don’t integrate into this era, how can you turn your hands into clouds and rain?

What I asked about is advantages? Well..., then after eliminating those disadvantages, the things you still remember are your advantages.

"Since King Lu wants to surrender, then surrender!" Zhai Zhe smiled, "What I lack most in Zhejiang East is the prince."

In mid-June, Duoduo ordered Belleboro to lead 30,000 Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners and surrendered 30,000 troops to attack Hangzhou. Fang Guoan led 20,000 Zhejiang troops to fight bloody battles at Yongkinmen. Lu Wang supervised the country and asked for surrender, for fear of offending the Qing army, so he threw down wine and food from the top of the city to reward the Qing army. Fang Guoan was angry and led his army to retreat to the Yanzhou Mountains in the upper reaches of Qiantang River. Ma Shiying walked with him, and Hangzhou returned to the Qing Qing without any effort. The Zheng navy retreated from Zhejiang to Fujian, and the elders of the Fujian region such as Huang Daozhou and Zhu Youjian were also the Tang king.

General of Ning Shao, Zhai Zhe, led a large army across the sea to flee to Zhoushan Island. Deputy General Xiao Zhiyan led a group of troops to guard the Dinghai Guard and surrendered.

The officials and gentry from Ningbo Prefecture and Shaoxing Prefecture, and the officials and gentry from various counties in eastern Zhejiang went to Hangzhou to submit a report to surrender.

"I'm waiting for that moment, but can't I really be wrong?" Zhai Zhe stood at the bow of the ship.

His vision was blurred, why did he shed tears?

He knew that Xiao Zhiyan, Zuo Ruo and others no longer trusted him as much as before. He knew that even Meng Kang had complaints, but his heart was as solid as a rock. Everyone who accomplished great things should do this!

The weather is really hot.

But it's not yet the hottest time.

In a black-sailed boat from Suzhou to Hangzhou, a middle-aged man's face was covered with dirt, hiding in the cabin, staring at the slightly yellow river water in a daze, his face was sometimes sad and sometimes angry.

Although Jiangnan was ruled by the Qing Dynasty, almost all the people in charge of the past were the people in charge. Except for the horrific news from Yangzhou City, there were no fierce battles in other places, and the people were still living the same life as before.

Some county magistrates still held their original positions after being demoted, and some were also insincerely left. Those who were demoted quickly quickly got their official positions, which made some people envious and some people despise them.

Chen Zilong was very angry. He knew that there were 40,000 to 50,000 troops in Ningshao Town, but they all fled across the sea. Fang Guoan had even fought bloody battles in front of the Hangzhou city gate.

"This is not the Zhai Zhe I know." Chen Zilong reached out and stroked across the water. The scorching sun was exposed to the sun, and the river water was not as cool as I imagined.

"Unless he is a complete hypocrite! If he is a hypocrite, why don't he surrender directly to the Qing Dynasty, but run across the sea to escape!" Chen Zilong was a little crazy and was talking to himself.

The boatman who drove the boat looked at him and muttered in his heart, "Isn't this person wrong?" If it weren't for twenty taels of silver, he wouldn't have taken risks at this time. However, I heard that all counties in eastern Zhejiang also surrendered, so there shouldn't be any danger there.

"No matter what he thinks, I have to meet him!"

Looking for Zhai Zhe was Chen Zilong's last hope. Only Ning Shao and Fujian Zheng's army that could fight were left in the Ming Dynasty. However, Fujian Zheng's family was known for their navy and had no ability to touch Jiangnan.

From Suzhou to Hangzhou outside the city, Chen Zilong did not dare to enter the city. He paid the remaining half of the money and walked ashore like a beggar, hiding all the way. He hid in the roadside when he saw the wind and movements, and took three or four days to arrive in Fuyang County. After walking around Jiangbei for a day, he finally saw a broken ship that was taking risks. Chen Zilong greeted him loudly and called the ship over.

"You beggar, why are you calling? If you lead your troops here, you and I will die!" The boatman cursed. The 20,000 soldiers of Zhejiang General Fang Guoan retreated to the Yanzhou Prefecture area, where defeated soldiers often appear.

"I want to cross the river, please take me."

"Cross the river?" the fisherman looked up and down.

"I have money!" Chen Zilong took out twenty copper coins from his pocket and collided with each other.

"That's all the money, too little!" The boatman looked up and down Chen Zilong.

"That's all. Please, I'm from Shaoxing. If you go to Suzhou to encounter a military disaster, you can do it." Chen Zilong begged. He still has money to hide in his close place, but he knew that he would never reveal it at this time.

The boatman waited for a long time, and saw that he couldn't squeeze out the oil. He lamented, "Look at you like that, I'll help you with your pity. Encountering such a thing is just a bad luck. There are so many soldiers outside, so why not stay at home?"

Chen Zilong nodded like pounding garlic.

After crossing the Qiantang River with great vigilance, he walked to Shaoxing for two days and became safe here. The market town was deserted than before. He had been a manager here, so he was very familiar with it. He found a store to buy some dry food, and he was anxious to rush to Ningbo Prefecture. He probably couldn't catch up with this trip after all his life. His feet were blisters, but he didn't feel any pain at all.

When he arrived in front of Shaoxing Mansion, he saw a crowded crowd of people reading notices at the city gate, and many people were cursing there.

At first, I was just scolding, but later I became angry. I don’t know who started and threw an egg on the bulletin. After a while, the eggs were like rain. The whole wall was covered with yolks and egg whites, and the bulletin soon disappeared.

"What a courage!"

A series of scolding sounded in the city, and a row of soldiers rushed out, wearing flowery feather hats on their heads, and their front head was bare, with a bunch of short hairs left behind, like a rat's tail.

"Why are there so many people in Shaoxing?" Chen Zilong was shocked. After closer inspection, he didn't look like him.

After the soldier, a man in an official robe walked out and dressed up with the soldiers and cursed viciously: "How dare you troublemakers, how dare you, the new dynasty's edicts? You have seen all the notices clearly? Within a month, you will cut all your hair off for me. A bunch of hair can only be worn through the copper coin eye. It is not enough to shave it. In another month, if you don't shave, then wait for death. The court has orders to keep your hair but not your head, and you will hear it clearly!"

A strong student jumped out and cursed: "The body and hair are treated by their parents, and they dare not hurt them. It is the beginning of filial piety. Zhang Su, you handed over the surrender letter early and changed to this prefect. Now, do you even want me?"

"Zheng Qianyu, don't you want to live?" Zhang Su was furious and fired back: "You go back and see you, don't you shave your hair too?"

Zheng Qianyu blushed and shouted, "He is him, I am me! I can't do it as shameless as you."

"Catch it, catch it!" Zhang Su was furious and pointed at Zheng Qianyu.

The soldiers rushed over to Zheng Qianyu. The people around him screamed in chaos, clamping the two soldiers in the middle, mocking, scolding, and even brave enough to reach out to touch the rat-tail braid behind.

When the soldier leader pulled out the knife, the people scattered, and Zheng Qianyu had long disappeared.

"Rebellion, rebellion!" Zhang Su beats her chest and stamps the ground, "If you don't shave it when you are in the future, let's see how I deal with you troublemakers."

Chen Zilong knew Zheng Qianyu, and he and Xu Du and his group were friends. When Xu Du was in charge, Zheng Qianyu wanted to join in, but was locked up at home for more than half a month, so he failed to make a trip.

"What's going on?" Chen Zilong couldn't digest the news for a moment, and fled among the people with his waist and clamped it. He wanted to ask Zheng Qianyu clearly, but after the crowd dispersed, Zheng Qianyu disappeared. The situation became more and more strange. Chen Zilong dared not enter Shaoxing Mansion. After thinking about it, he was the right way to find Zhai Zhe. Without soldiers in his hands, he could do nothing.

Going eastward, I arrived at Guanhaiwei, and saw cavalry walking from afar, under the banner of "Xiao".

Chen Zilong hid in the bushes by the roadside first. After thinking about the conflict for a while, he decided to meet him.

He heard about Xiao Zhiyan's surrender to the Qing Dynasty. When he was in charge of Ning Shao's army encircling and suppressing the Baitou Army, he had been with Xiao Zhiyan. Zhoushan and Ningbo faced each other across the sea. This was not Qiantang River. Ning Shao's navy blocked the sea surface, so the fisherman was afraid that he would not dare to go there.

"I am Chen Zilong, and I am familiar with Deputy General Xiao and General Zhai, so I specially asked to meet Deputy General Xiao from Songjiang."

Chen Zilong jumped out of the bushes and waved his hands and screamed.

The patrolling cavalry urged him to come over. Seeing him as a scholar, he didn't seem to have any accidents, he pulled him on his horse and retreated towards the Dinghaiwei.
