Chapter VII Siege of Nanjing (3)
Chapter 7: Siege of Nanjing (III)
Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance. This is a turbulent truth. Wei Zhongxian's sword seems to have cut off internal hidden dangers. In fact, it was dug up the grave for his demise. While he was proud of himself, he did not expect that his sword was too fierce, which was enough to make his people feel heartbroken and tremble all over. They sold themselves to Wei Zhongxian for glory and wealth. Now their lives are threatened. What's the use of glory and wealth? Many officials have aspirations to retreat, and some officials just complained that the sun will not be seen tomorrow. It's really terrible!
The current Nanjing city is a bit like Shanghai after the "Fourth. One Two" counter-revolution. White terror enveloped the founding capital of the Ming Dynasty. The bloody smell in the air has not dissipated for a long time. There are basically no pedestrians on the streets. All industries are withered, and the entire city is filled with this dead air. Even the weeds on the roadside are infected by this dead air. The newly extended buds are curled up, looking listless!
The sky was misty, covering the sun and the moon. When the war broke out, ordinary people were still suffering. Zheng Baoyu, a genius doctor in the south of the city, looked up at Tian and sighed. He had not been treating anyone for three days. After he was idle, he not only felt panic, but also felt panic.
"Our boss, no one will see a doctor today. You see, other shops are closed on the day outside, so let's close the door too." The old shopkeeper persuaded the trembling goatee with his shaking goatee.
"Have the medicine been all in?" Zheng Baoyu is much older than a few years ago, but he is still in good spirits and speaks loudly, but it sounds like he has troubles that he cannot solve.
"The boss, all, but the boss, what are you going to do after getting so many injuries this time?" the old shopkeeper asked in confusion.
Zheng Baoyu smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Others think that this battle will inevitably lead to many injuries. I have bought so many injured medicines, so I will naturally stock up on stocks. At that time, I will sell it at a good price and make a fortune. In fact, I won't say it anymore, and no one will believe it if I say it!"
"The boss is kind-hearted, he must..."
Before the old shopkeeper finished speaking, he heard a rush knock on the door.
"Open the door quickly, open the door quickly..." The person outside the door was very anxious.
Zheng Baoyu felt nervous and ordered the old shopkeeper to go over and open the door that had just been closed. Before the old shopkeeper could open the door, the person outside the door slammed the door and rushed in. The old shopkeeper staggered, with his old arms and legs, and almost let the person hit the ground.
The person who came was covered in blood, panting, distracted hair, sweating, covered in sweat. He covered his left arm with his right hand, and blood kept oozing out of his fingers, and half of his sleeves were dyed red.
"Quick, close the door!" The person who came was very anxious.
The old shopkeeper was frightened very much. It was a turbulent time. Such a man with unknown identity and seriously injured identity entered Jishitang. If he didn't do it well, he would cause trouble. Such a person would not be able to stay for a moment. The old shopkeeper was thinking about gratitude to drive people out so as not to implicate himself and Jishitang.
"Uncle Zheng saved me!" The visitor suddenly rushed to Zheng Baoyu, pounced, knelt down on both knees, and said in tears.
"Are you?" Zheng Baoyu was startled and stood up and said.
"Uncle Zheng, I am Yanghao!" The visitor said excitedly.
Zheng Baoyu was even more surprised. The lights were dim just now, and Zhou Yanghao looked like a beggar. The two had not seen each other for three years, so Zheng Baoyu did not recognize him for a while. Since he was Zhou Yanghao, the son of the old friend, and Zhou Yanghao, the third son of Zhou Shipu, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, quickly stepped forward and helped the people up, and ordered the old shopkeeper to hide his traces and close the store door.
Zheng Baoyu welcomed Zhou Yanghao into the inner hall, took medicine for healing, bandaged the wound, and then Zhou Yanghao revealed his experience of escaping from the tiger's mouth.
It turned out that Zhou Yanghao was not at home last night, but drank with a few scholarly friends at Wangyue Tower, talking a lot, criticizing the government, and scolding the eunuchs to ruin the country. Zhou Yanghao was not good at drinking and was drunk. When he was drunk, he was still talking nonsense. Zhou Shipu was very strict in tutoring. If he sent the drunk Zhou Yanghao back, he would definitely be punished. Therefore, he made a fancy to open a room in Wangyue Tower. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yanghao saved his life and left a bloodline for the Zhou family. After Zhou Yanghao woke up, it was already noon. At this moment, his family had been tied to the execution ground. He was shocked and rushed to the execution ground and happened to see the scene of the family being cut off his head. His head was blank at that time. Fortunately, no one recognized him at that time, otherwise there would be another unjust soul on the execution ground.
With Wei Zhongxian's character, he will definitely be able to eliminate the roots. The entire Nanjing city is searching for the remnants of the Northern enemy. He is a weak scholar whose family has been destroyed, his parents and brothers have been killed, and he is wanted again, and he has nowhere to hide. The Jinyiwei has taken his portrait to search everywhere. After being discovered, he let a Jinyiwei cut his right arm. Then he endured the severe pain and ran wildly. After getting rid of the tracking, he thought of his father's close friend, the genius doctor Zheng Baoyu. He gritted his teeth and then secretly ran over.
After hearing what Zhou Yanghao had happened, Zheng Baoyu sighed. He was a doctor and his duty was to save lives and heal the wounded. Zhou Shipu Zhou was considered a very good official, honest and honest official, and he was one of the few people he could talk to in the officialdom. It was a pity that he had suffered such a sudden disaster.
"Yang Hao, don't worry about recuperating from uncle. Don't worry about the outside matters for the time being." Although Zheng Baoyu is just an ordinary doctor, his medical skills are very good, famous in Jiangnan and the leader of Xinglin. Wei Zhongxian wanted to summon him to the palace as an imperial physician several times, but he refused. Wei Zhongxian could not do anything to him. You must know that people cannot get sick for the rest of their lives, and Wei Zhongxian is not a god.
Although Wei Zhongxian was quite unhappy after leaving Zhou Yanghao, the fall of Zhenjiang Prefecture made this Jiu Qiansui even more annoyed.
"What is Dong Fangming doing? More than 30,000 people guarded Zhenjiang but couldn't hold it for a day!" Wei Zhongxian got angry at his godson and grandson.
"Godfather, Godfather is not the time to pursue Governor Dong. The most important thing now is how to defend the enemy. The soldiers we lack now are, but generals who can conquer warlike." Cui Chengxiu said in a statement.
Tian Ergeng, Wu Chunfu and other godsons and grandchildren all agreed.
"Who can lead troops to meet the enemy according to your wishes?" Wei Zhongxian's anger gradually faded and he returned to his calmness.
Cui Chengxiu was confident and had already thought of a solution to the problem. He replied: "Former Zhenjiang General Yu Guangjie is proficient in military tactics and can be a general!"
"He?" Wei Zhongxian hesitated. He was not unfamiliar with Yu Guangjie. His ancestor was once a famous general against Japanese devils, Yu Daqiu, who inherited the imperial guards and received the thousand households of Jinyiwei. Later, he was promoted to the general officer. However, he was unruly and uncontrollable. After he came to Nanjing, he suffered from no general who could fight and was able to win over him in every way. However, he did not accept his trick. Yu Daqiu's disciples were very powerful in the Jiangnan army. Therefore, Wei Zhongxian did not dare to do anything to him. He just found an excuse to pull him off from the position of General Zhenjiang, and is now forced to be idle at home.
"Godfather, don't hesitate. Yu Guangjie's family is in Nanjing, so you are not afraid that he will surrender to the enemy in the face of the battle." Cui Chengxiu said with a smile.
"But will he listen to my order?" Wei Zhongxian was still a little doubtful.
"He may not listen to the godfather's orders, but he will never refuse to listen to the empress dowager's orders!" Cui Chengxiu said.
"Well, it's not bad, gaga, Chengxiu, you're smart, it's not in vain that I love you so much!" Wei Zhongxian laughed.
"Godfather is wise!" The godsons and grandchildren praised each other, and Wei Zhongxian was so happy that he felt like sitting in the clouds, and he became a little fluttering.
Cui Chengxiu felt sour in her heart. She chose this path to melt wealth. She didn't expect that she would fall deeper and deeper, so she couldn't extricate herself. Her destiny was already linked with Wei Zhongxian. The situation of both loss and prosperity, and she had to do her best to plan for him!
