Looking at the stack of memorials that had just been delivered, Zhu Changzi went to his desk to review them. At present, the imperial court has just established a ceremony, and there is currently no ceremonial supervisor. Zhu Changzi has no plans to open one, because he has long been used to doing it himself.

Suddenly, a memorial caught his attention.

This is a memorial sent by Jiangyin County, but it was not submitted by the magistrate of Jiangyin County. It was jointly submitted by the county's official historian and lecturer.

What the memorial says is that the county magistrate Lin Zhiji left with his seal, the general Zhang Su, the coastal defense Cheng Mou, the county magistrate Hu Tingdong, the academic envoy Zhu Guofu, and the military officer Ma Mingting all left their posts. There was no one in the county to take charge, and the Qing government

Fang Heng, the pseudo-magistrate of the county, wore Ming official robes, but he knelt down and served the Qing people. He wanted to shave his head and was imprisoned by the county volunteers. The Qing army had sent troops to attack Jiangyin, but they were all repelled by the Jiangyin rebels. However, after all, their combat power was weak.

If the Qing army sends a large army, it may be difficult to support it, so I want to ask the imperial court to send troops to rescue.

After Zhu Changzi read it, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The people in this county are loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Even if their parents ran away, they still insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty. This is really the heart of a child.

"Li Bao, please quickly forward this memorial to the cabinet and send troops to rescue!" Zhu Changzi said. After the Qing army defeated Zhenjiang, Bellebolo commanded an army to move eastward, preparing to capture Suzhou Prefecture. At this time, Changzhou Prefecture had already fallen.

Jiangyin stood in front of the Qing army marching eastward. If it was not rescued in time, it would be difficult for it to be the leader of the Qing army.

The Qing army took control of Suzhou Prefecture, and they had no worries when heading south.

Li Bao quickly went out and ordered the memorial to be sent to the cabinet. Just as he was about to turn back, he saw a soldier holding the governor's order arrow and running towards King Lu's study.

"Report! Report to the Supervisor that two groups of Zhejiang volunteers have arrived in the east of the city. Governor Zhang asked the Supervisor to move to Qingtai Gate to review the troops!"

When Zhu Changzi heard that King Youqin's rebel army had arrived, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He hurriedly got up and ordered Li Bao to prepare to move to the east of the city.

"Your Highness, this servant is going to prepare the elephant and chariot guard of honor." Li Bao said standing at the door.

"No need, ride your horse and go quickly." Zhu Changzi didn't care about these red tapes at all. He only wanted to go to the country on horseback. What time of year should he pay attention to these things. The power is from the inside and not from the outside.

Later, Zhu Changzi came to Qingtai Gate accompanied by the palace guards.

Before the city was closed, the Qingtai Gate was a place where salt merchants and salt sellers passed. Outside the Qingtai Gate, there was a scene of "frying sand into salt". The salt farmers walked along the city wall from Qingtai Gate carrying white salt.

Arrive at Qingchun Gate, then enter Qingchun Gate and go to the Salt Industry Approval Office for government inspection. Only after passing the inspection can the salt be sold separately.

Zhang Guowei and the staff of the Governor's Mansion were already waiting at the city gate. These two volunteer armies were less than five miles away from the Qingtai Gate. Because these two volunteer armies were the first to arrive in Hangzhou, they were of great significance. Zhang Guowei thought that they should be greeted with a grand ceremony.

It showed that the imperial court valued him, so he sent someone to invite King Lu.

"Brother Yuqi, people have a clear mind." Qi Biaojia sighed in her heart.

"Dorgon's hair-cutting order is cutting off my roots in the Ming Dynasty." Zhang Guowei sighed. I heard that Dodo was faithfully carrying out Dorgon's hair-cutting order, and his methods were brutal.

.

"The tragedy in Yangzhou is vivid in our minds. I think the people who came to eastern Zhejiang were also filled with indignation and shared the same hatred of the enemy." Xu Fuyuan echoed.

The three of them were chatting when they suddenly saw a large group of scholars not far away, surrounded by an old man slowly approaching.

Behind them, followed many Hangzhou citizens.

"Mr. Jishan is here!" Qi Biaojia had good eyesight and recognized Liu Zongzhou at a glance.

Zhang Guowei did not dare to neglect and hurried forward to greet him.

"I have met Mr. Jishan." Zhang Guowei saluted respectfully. Liu Zong was an old minister of Zhou Dynasty, and he was well-known throughout the south of the Yangtze River. He was highly respected and respected by people at that time.

"You're welcome to make Taiwan. I heard that the righteous teacher Qin Wang is coming. I personally led the people of Hangzhou to welcome them. I must not chill the hearts of these loyal and brave men." Liu Zongzhou has a fluttering beard. Although he is old, he is still energetic and charming.

Still.

"What Mr. Jishan said is true!" Zhang Guowei nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Liu Zongzhou led his disciples to stand on one side of the road. After that, the citizens of Hangzhou stood in the road, waiting for the righteous master to enter the city.

The clear sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, and everyone turned around to see King Lu galloping on his horse with an elegant posture. They did not expect that the weak-looking King Lu was actually skilled in equestrian skills. This was something they had never heard of before.

"Greetings to King Lu to supervise the country!" Everyone saluted.

Zhu Changzi rode on a tall horse and asked: "Where is the righteous master?"

"It's less than five miles back to the prison country." Zhang Guowei replied.

Seeing that the city gate had not yet been opened, Zhu Changzi frowned, pointed at the door with his riding whip and ordered: "Open the city gate. I will personally go out of the city to greet you!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this!

"You can't supervise the country!" Zhang Guowei hurriedly stopped him. This is really too dangerous. Although he is a righteous teacher of the King of Qin, there must be a mixture of good and bad among them. Who can guarantee that there will not be any bad guys alive or spies from the Qing army mixed in?

Liu Zongzhou on the side squinted his eyes and looked at Zhu Changzi who was riding a horse with a majestic posture. He became more and more confused. After he resigned from office and returned home, he had been giving lectures near Hangzhou. He had met King Lu when he first came to Hangzhou to take refuge.

King Lu at that time was completely different from now, which made him increasingly suspicious.

"No need to say more, open the city quickly!" Zhu Changzi said with a determined look. Now that the rebels are everywhere, they must be unified and integrated, otherwise they will disperse their forces and fight independently, and then be defeated one by one by the Qing army. Zhu Changzi must not let such a thing happen.

happened, so the court’s attitude towards the righteous teacher became particularly important.

If many volunteers see discrimination or neglect from the imperial court, they will no longer come to join the army, but will choose to fight on their own.

Determined to go out of the city to welcome him, this is a signal that Zhu Changzi wants to send to the world, that is, the court will not treat Qin Wang Yishi badly.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Zhang Guowei hurriedly winked at Li Bao who was following Zhu Changzi, but Li Bao shook his head gently.

"Open the city gate!" Zhang Guowei had no choice but to obey.

The heavy city gate slowly opened. The square camp defenders on the city suddenly became alert.

Zhang Guowei hurriedly whispered to Qi Biaojia: "Brother Youwen, climb up to the tower quickly and let Fang Yuanke ambush under the battlements, just in case."

Qi Biaojia understood and hurriedly turned around and left.

Zhu Changzi had already rode out of the city and arrived outside the city gate. Looking around, he saw water and land intertwined, and river networks spread as far as the eye could see.

Not long after, I saw hundreds of small boats coming along the waterway. On land, a long dragon circled over, flying a flag.

The most eye-catching banner reads: Feng Zhao Qin Wang!

Zhang Guowei and others also followed out. It was almost noon, the sun was shining brightly, the water surface in the distance was dimming, hundreds of boats were moving forward, the flags on the land covered the sun, and the people and horses neighed. For a moment, there was a magnificent scene.

At the top of the city, Fang Yuanke's cat was behind the wall, secretly observing the advancing rebels, feeling a little nervous.

"Sir, this rebel army is quite large." Fang Yuanke secretly estimated that there must be about 20,000 to 30,000 people.

"You stay here and watch carefully, I will go down to guard the country." Qi Biaojia warned.

Fang Yuanke nodded solemnly.

Outside the city gate, Zhu Changzi looked at the endless people and horses, and estimated their combat power in his mind. After all, they were just rebels. They were temporary soldiers and untrained people, so the number of people did not represent the combat effectiveness. If it were the Qin army, perhaps only

It can be broken with just one song.

At this time, less than two miles away, the entire rebel army stopped. Boats on the river also dropped anchor one after another.

A group of fast horses galloped out from the rebel army division and ran towards the city gate.
