Chapter 3 Wang Jian

Now, there are 10,000 troops stationed by the general Fang Guoan outside Hangzhou. Only after he formally supervises the country can he be mobilized legitimately.

At that time, while transferring troops into the city to prepare to defend the city, the army will be sent to the whole Zhejiang to summon the rebel army to serve the king. As long as they can hold on for ten days, Hangzhou will become the anti-Qing banner of half of the country, and knowledgeable people and patriotic heroes will gather from all directions in Hangzhou.

Soon, when he arrived at the royal palace, Ma Shiying and others had been waiting at the mansion for a long time. Seeing that King Lu had returned, he hurriedly met him.

"Your Highness, please enter the mansion quickly, take a shower and change your clothes, be ordered by the Queen Mother, and be the throne of the state!" Ma Shiying bowed and said anxiously. The Qing army drove straight in, and the country could not be masterless for a day. Time was tight, and King Lu repeatedly refused to accept it, so he had to drive the duck and put it on the shelves.

Zhu Changqing nodded and walked into the mansion quickly without changing his face.

Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and others looked at each other, and they tacitly confirmed that Lu Wang had changed. Although they didn't know why, they clearly felt that the Lu Wang, who was full of books, had disappeared. Now this person actually had a faint sense of an emperor. When they stood in front of them, they truly felt their heartbeats.

Then, the sound of Empress Dowager Zou's servant reading the edict was heard in the mansion.

"You are my uncle and are the most virtuous of the vassals. In the past, Xuanmiao expeditions eastward, Xiang, Zheng Jianguo, and Zuxian are all here, so you can follow it now!"

"Abide by the Queen Mother's decree!"

......

Half an hour later, the news that Lu Wang Zhu Changqing was officially ordered to supervise the country in Hangzhou began to spread to all directions.

Some of the fugitives who heard about this news in Hangzhou began to turn to Hangzhou.

The famous families in the city wrote letters to congratulate them.

At the same time, the Lu Wang Mansion flew out and issued an edict to the whole city: "Now we follow the will of the late emperor, we are ordered to supervise the country, and we swear to live and die together with Hangzhou!"

At the same time, Hangzhou Prime Minister Zhang Yinli issued a notice stating that from the hour of You today, except for Yongjinmen, the entire city of Hangzhou will be locked down.

As soon as the notice came out, many wealthy merchants and wealthy merchants packed their money, rushed out of the Kinmen gate in groups and scattered.

The Kinmen is rushing, and there are crowds of people.

The sun shines everywhere and the summer breeze is pleasant.

On the corner of the street not far away, a beggar in tattered clothes and dirty body squatted. His eyes were staring at the long dragon leaving the city on the street, muttering something lightly.

Not far from him, there was a young man who had just entered the city, with his sword-eyed eyebrows, staring eyes, brown shirt and short clothes, standing there, also watching the crowd leaving the city, feeling uneasy.

At this time, he heard something seemed to be heard nearby. He looked in the sound and saw a beggar, his lips and teeth were slightly moved. The young man was a little curious and approached quietly, wanting to hear what the beggar was talking to himself.

"For three hundred years, how can all the civil and military officials escape? Gang Chang stayed in the Hachitian Courtyard, and the beggar was ashamed to live."

The young man heard it clearly and immediately looked surprised and disbelief.

But the beggar suddenly turned his head and smiled at him, got up and ran away with dancing, and kept shouting, "It's all cowards! It's all cowards!"

The young man suddenly felt depressed in his heart and walked lonely towards the city with a little depressed mood. Among the crowds leaving the city, he was the only one who went against the road, which attracted everyone to look at each other and whisper.

But the young man turned a deaf ear and moved forward resolutely, thinking in his heart: What is the desire to lose the country and the family? There is my teacher at the head of Xizi Lake.

The country has raised me, Zhang Huangyan, how can I bear to let go of me?

......

After King Lu took office as the governor, he changed his Sufu and accompanied by Ma Shiying and other ministers, he went to Cining Palace to thank Empress Dowager Zou.

Then he hurried back to the royal palace. On the way, Zhu Changqing changed the former governor of Zhejiang Zhang Bingzhen to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War and temporarily held affairs of the Ministry of War. He also ordered the personal eunuch Li Bao to go to the general Fangguo camp to supervise the army!

Seeing that King Lu calmly issued orders, Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng were a little confused. King Lu seemed to have planned everything long ago. Just now, he just suppressed the country and caught the two of them off guard. According to their plan, Zhang Bingzhen should have been the Minister of War, and Ruan Dacheng was the Right Minister of War, but now King Lu didn't give them a chance to speak, so he made an appointment!

And directly sending an eunuch to Fang Guoan to supervise the army, which is equivalent to directly cutting off Ma Shiying's reliance on autocracy.

After a while, the carriage arrived at the palace. After getting off the car, Zhu Changqing looked at Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng with a look of dismay, and he was secretly happy. You can't see through these little thoughts, even if I did it in vain. I want to hold me in the applause, you are still missing my Taoist practice for thousands of years.

Just as I was about to enter the mansion, I suddenly saw a young scholar standing in front of the mansion.

Zhu Changqing looked up and down, and saw that he looked handsome and sturdy, so he waved to him.

Zhang Huangyan, who had been waiting for King Lu for a long time, hurried forward and kneeled down to pay a big greeting.

"Zhang Huangyan, a juren from Yin County, Zhejiang Province, pay homage to King Lu!"

"Get up! Why are you guarding in front of the palace?"

"The student just entered the city. I heard that Your Highness was in charge of the country. The wise men said that they were low and did not dare to forget their worries about the country. Therefore, they came to join us to help Your Highness defend the city and fight against the Qing Dynasty!"

Zhang Huangyan lay on the ground and spoke sincerely. He came here to seek opportunities to serve the country, but happened to meet the Lu Wang's reign. In fact, he had heard about Lu Wang's situation before when he was "Lu Gong" and had no good feelings for him. He felt that Lu Wang was definitely not a wise ruler. But today he heard that Lu Wang told the whole city to live and die with Hangzhou, which made Zhang Huangyan want to know about Lu Wang personally.

Zhu Changqing looked at Zhang Huangyan on the ground and was in a daze. He seemed to see Li Si, who had once been lying on the Xianyang Palace Hall, and the energetic Li Si, who had recommended the guests to expel guests, seemed to see Yue Fei who was whistling to the sky in Zhuxian Town.

"Get up, the royal family still lacks a groom, are you willing?" Zhu Changqing said.

"If you can save the country, you will be willing to lead a horse and carry manure!" Zhang Huangyan kowtowed and said in a deep voice.

Ma Ruan and the others beside them stared at each other indifferently, sneering at Zhang Huangyan in their hearts, thinking that he was a lucky person.

After accepting Zhang Huangyan, Zhu Changqing hurriedly brought everyone into the mansion to discuss the matter of defending the city.

At the same time, outside Hangzhou City, Li Bao came to Fang Guoan's military camp under the order of the king.

What he saw along the way to the camp made Li Bao worried. The soldiers in the camp either gathered to drink or gamble around. Some of them actually traveled to visit prostitutes in the camp, and their moans made the soldiers restless.

In the central army's tent, Li Bao met Fang Guoan.

"General Fang, our Lu Wang eunuch Li Bao, is ordered by the state to come to patrol the camp." After that, Li Baoliang released the Lu Wang token.

Fang Guoan leaned forward and took a look, then smiled with his hands behind his back, "Empress Li, even if you look at it, especially if you owed wages and food, you must report to His Highness Lu's true quota and food."

Li Bao's heart sank. Can such soldiers really stop Qing soldiers if they give money and food?

"Don't worry, General Fang, our family will report to Your Highness truthfully. Your Highness has decided to defend Hangzhou to the death. Please also ask the General to prepare for the battle."

"What my father-in-law said is, please rest assured, and you must prepare for your troops! Hahaha!"

Li Bao felt that Fang Guoan was a little perfunctory, so he stopped talking, turned around and left the camp, following the people arranged by Fang Guoan to inspect the camps.

......

Just as Hangzhou was in turmoil, outside the county town of Lintong County, Xi'an Prefecture, a burly middle-aged man was hiding in the woods, quietly observing the pedestrians passing through the county town on the dirt road for three days.

He was wearing a double long robes, black armor, trousers, his feet were square and pointed shoes, his head was wearing a dark purple black squid crown, his ink crown was tied with a horoscope knot under his jaw, and a short sword was hung on the ribs under his armpits.

After pondering for a long time, he silently pulled off his crown belt, took off his armor, found a bush to hide it, and cleaned up himself according to the pedestrian outfits he saw. Then he walked out of the woods and headed towards the county town.

At the gate of the county town, two county soldiers with rat-tailed braids stopped the man.

"Where did it come from? What's it called? Where to go?"

"Come from Dongxiang, call Wang Jian, come to the county to find a job."

"Oh, poor kid, go over and find a good job. Don't run south with those chaotic people. If you catch someone who wants to behead you!"

"I understand, thank you, thank you!"

Hearing the two words on the south side, a trace of light flashed in Wang Jian's eyes and slowly looked towards the southeast.
