Chapter 56: Clothes can't take off their armor, horses can't take off their saddles

Jishiha wanted to resist, but in order to show off, he even took off his armor.

The few generals behind him were all armed with weapons and glared at him. The few Tartars were the ones who relied on the Central Plains to take over the slaves and traitors. In this way, the people became more united.

The wound on Wu Shengzhao's back has not healed yet, and the hatred in his heart penetrates his forehead.

"Don't do anything, I'm going to cut him into pieces myself."

Wu Shengzhao's subordinate handed him a spear, and he carried it forward and headed straight for Jixiha. The others watched the remaining Manren. When Jixiha saw that he dared to fight him one-on-one, he sneered and took a waist knife from behind and from the sir.

Wu Shengzhao turned around and moved with excellent marksmanship. He grabbed a spear and stabbed him suddenly. Ji Xiha stood still and raised his waist to stop him, which made Wu Shengzhao's mouth numb. Seeing this, Ji Xiha felt contemptuous, raised his sword and raised his sword and slashed Wu Shengzhao's spear to the ground. This is a one-force subsidence. Although Wu Shengzhao's spear is good, he was helpless that this general was too strong.

At this time, a burst of arrows, and the rain of arrows was even denser than today's raindrops, shooting these groups like hedgehogs. Ji Xiha was caught in an arrow in the back of his head and fell to the ground with a bang.

Wu Shengzhao looked forward and found that it was Hou Xuanyan who brought him.

"At this time, there is still time to fight!"

Wu Shengzhao looked ashamed, Hou Xuanyan had no time to take care of it, and said, "Follow me to clear the Eight Banners soldiers in the Wengcheng."

When the Eight Banners soldiers in the urn city saw how bad the commander was, they knew that they would not survive even if they escaped. Because the Qing army was so strict that it was unimaginable that the commander could not survive even if they escaped.

These Eight Banners soldiers with red eyes first drew their swords to kill all the prisoners, and then rushed towards the city gate with a scream.

When Hou Xuanyan saw that many generals and talents were hacked to death, they also had other thoughts.

"Cum!"

Arrows are like rain, stones are beating together, and blood is spreading throughout Hangzhou City. Sometimes human life is as expensive as a thousand gold, sometimes as cheap as grass...

The people outside the city were confused, their generals were dead and fleeing. Only a group of lower-level generals, with big-headed soldiers, across the moat, saw their commanders being smashed into meat pie. The army that had lost its commander was at a loss. At this time, the Suzhou soldiers, Jiangyin soldiers, and surrendered Tu Guobao who had long been ambushed outside the city surrounded them from behind.

As the first soldier dropped his weapons, everyone chose to surrender like an avalanche. Anyway, they were all Han people, and the one who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty was their superiors, and they were just ordered to act. Now that they surrendered to their own compatriots, they felt more acceptable than before.

On the city tower, Wu Shengzhao was convinced and knelt down and said, "Congratulations to the commander-in-chief, for making such a great contribution!"

He was really convinced of the young governor in front of him. In just half a month, the situation in the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province had undergone tremendous changes. After all, most of it was the credit of this son of Jiading.

Hou Xuanyan helped Wu Shengzhao up, his eyes turned south, thinking.

There was no Qing army south of Suzhou that could be fought. Soon gentry from all over the country would lead people to drive away the officials appointed by the Qing Dynasty. What we needed most at this time was the title of great power.

King Lu made trouble in Shaoxing and openly opposed the Longwu court, especially the pseudo-Grandmaster Zhang Guowei, Xiong Rulin, Zhang Guojun and others. These short-sighted officials brazenly relied on the recognition of the orthodox status of the Longwu court for the so-called official position in front of them.

Half of the anti-Qing forces in the Southern Ming Dynasty were used by them in internal struggles. It was time to solve this disaster. Although they were small courts, they were the governors supported by Zhejiang people and were very appealing to people in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas.

If he worked hard to dismantle the Qing army, he would be cheaper in the end, and these unintentional lands fell into the hands of the King of Lu, Hou Xuanyan would never refuse.

The anti-Qing cause in eastern Zhejiang was originally a gentry, gentry, and other officials, such as Qian Sule, Sun Jiaji, and others, who were unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty with their blood and were supported by the local people. However, they have been stolen by so-called regular soldiers such as Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren. These old warlords were brave enough to abuse the people and were afraid of foreign wars. Today's battle fully demonstrated the incompetence of Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren.

At the entrance of the Hangzhou Yamen, the rain was still falling, and everyone in the hall was wet.

"I submitted a memorial to the court, and I said that my governor pacified Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and was devoted to Jinling. I was willing to raise troops to fight with Hong Chengchou, but I asked Your Majesty to clear the future troubles for me and persuade King Lu to abdicate and return to the vassal as soon as possible. If someone does not understand the current affairs and insists on acting against the will of heaven, I am willing to be my emperor, fight against foreign countries and stabilize the country, and I will not refuse." The newly surrendered swordsman in Hangzhou, who wrote a memorial quickly.

In Hou Xuanyan's opinion, this memorial must be submitted. Now the gentry in Jiangnan is looking forward to the Ming Dynasty and still misses the prosperity and well-being of Jiangnan. Respecting the king and expelling the barbarians is very marketable. If you are arrogant, you will definitely be attacked by thousands of people and be attacked from both sides. Since this is the case, you must make the Southern Ming court the most solid backing for you.

When the memorial was delivered to Fuzhou, Hou Xuanyan had already returned to Suzhou. This time, Suzhou gentry and gentry welcomed each other. All the scholars, peasants, soldiers and merchants were excited. Hangzhou was recovered, and Suzhou was no longer an isolated city. No one dared to doubt this son of Jiading, the governor of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Suppression Hui, and the young commander-in-chief.

"What's the situation in Jiangbei?" Before he could make a polite decision, Hou Xuanyan asked.

The civil and military officials in Suzhou gathered together, and they began to discuss the enemy situation with each other. The long-prepared welcome ceremony ended before it even started.

Fuzhou, in the palace.

Emperor Longwu held the memorial and cried loudly, setting up an altar in the palace to worship the previous emperors of all dynasties.

"Hou Xuanyan is my Yue Wumu, my Ming Dynasty Xie Anshi, and my loyal minister and general given to me by God!"

What moved Emperor Longwu most was not Hou Xuanyan's achievements, but his protection of his dignity everywhere. Although he had never been masked, he gave him enough respect to himself, a nearly puppet emperor. Although he was the emperor, he relied on the Zheng brothers to ascend the throne.

The Zheng brothers, who were pirates, were led by Zheng Zhilong. The main purpose of their establishment of the Tang King was to be the first minister to consolidate their position as the only one in Fujian.

Emperor Longwu was determined to restore Nanjing and attack the Central Plains in the northern part, but was controlled by the Zheng brothers.

Not long ago, the Minister of Revenue He Kai wrote a letter to impeach Zheng Zhilong's two brothers "no courtesy" and Emperor Longwu praised it. Unfortunately, the emperor's praise was useless, so he was still deliberately persecuted by Zheng Zhilong and forced to retire and return home.

But Zheng Zhilong is a pirate. It is absolutely impossible for him to pat his butt and go home to retire after scolding him.

Zheng Zhilong sent his subordinates to intercept the former Minister of Revenue and cut off his ears. When the bloody ears appeared on the report of Emperor Longwu, the Southern Ming court knew who had the final say.
