Even now, knowing that there is no room for change, Man Gui couldn't help but said to Shen Yongmao: "My lord, you know that we are bound to lose when we go out of the city. Can't we really persuade the emperor to change our minds?"
"No!"
Bi Ziyan shattered the glimmer of hope in Man Gui's heart. He stood by Shen Yongmao's table and said in a deep voice, "You have to go out of the city and fight back. There is no other choice!"
Man Gui looked at Bi Ziyan's face, hesitant to speak, an angry look appeared on his face.
Zhou Zheng could understand what Bi Ziyan meant. There is no room for return when he leaves the city. No matter whether he is forced to do so, he must do his best, and he must not be lucky!
Shen Yongmao looked at Man Gui and Zhou Zheng, and said: "Zhao rate teacher enters the city and will leave the city with you tomorrow. Also, I have sent a letter to Yuan Chonghuan, asking him to divide his forces to rescue the capital. So, you guys Must survive today!"
Man Gui could hardly suppress his anger, and said, "If you can survive it, what is the difference if you can't divide your troops?"
The captives’ food and grass will last at most for another day. If they can’t break the capital tomorrow, they will have to withdraw their troops. What is the point of Yuan Chonghuan’s division of troops
Bi Ziyan looked at Man Gui and Zhou Zheng, and said sternly: "I don't care what grievances you have, you should know the importance of this battle. My Ming Dynasty's 200-year old society and thousands of people are in your hands!"
Man Gui was angry, but he had nothing to say.
Shen Yongmao said: "Tomorrow I will let the British public take over the stability and win the two. Even if you lose, you will have to recreate the captives for me, so that they can't attack the city, understand?"
The 20,000 people of the British fathers are basically noble children, and they can handle ordinary things. They are unable to fight out of the city, or even defend the city!
Regardless of how reluctant Zhou Zheng and Man Gui were, they couldn't help but hesitate at this time. They raised their hands together and said, "The officials take orders!"
Bi Ziyan looked at the two men, the corners of his mouth moved, and said, "Get ready."
There are many meanings in Bi Ziyan's remarks. One is that they are required to prepare for their affairs. Most of them will not be able to return after leaving the city. Secondly, maybe they want them to comfort the soldiers, and they are not stupid. If there is a mutiny, then there is no need to build prisoners to siege the city.
Zhou Zheng and Man Gui looked at each other, and the two raised their hands and turned away from the Ministry of War.
Bi Ziyan didn't leave, frowning, his face solemnly like an iceberg.
"You said, can they win?" Shen Yongmao leaned on the chair tiredly, as if talking to himself.
Bi Ziyan raised his head and looked outside, and said, "If you are not victorious, you will also be victorious, otherwise you and I will be sinners through the ages."
Shen Yongmao didn't say a word, but looked outside, it was dark and dim, and it was frightening.
Zhou Zheng returned to Zhou Mansion first, and Zhou Qingli was already waiting.
When Zhou Zheng finished talking about the decision in the palace, Zhou Qingli was not surprised at all, and said: "The emperor didn't order me on this matter. I had a bad hunch. I didn't expect it to be so serious.
Zhou Fang was at Andingmen, otherwise he would definitely pick up the conversation at this time and curse these capable officials with a pen tip that had not succeeded or failed.
Zhou Zhengdao: "If you are desperate to fight, you should be able to kill more than 10,000 people, plus the injured, it is estimated that about 20,000, and the rest, there is no threat."
Zhou Qingli's face twitched unconsciously, Zhou Zheng's meaning was very clear, it was a fight to death, an endless fight!
Zhou Qingli didn't seem to see any expression on her dark face, and she said for a while: "Have you thought about it?"
Zhou Zheng knew that Zhou Qingli was worried, and said: "We still have a chance to win."
Zhou Qingli opened her mouth, trying to say something, but didn't say it.
Zhou Zheng didn't know what to say at this time, and slowly raised his hand and said, "Baby is gone."
Zhou Qingli's eyes flushed, but did not speak, watching Zhou Zheng turn around and leave.
Uncle Fu didn't know when he came in from outside, looked at Zhou Qingli's expression, and whispered: "Master, young master, and second young master are all gone."
Zhou Qingli suddenly woke up, with mixed flavors in her heart, staring blankly at the light outside, and then asked for a long while: "If the country does not exist, what is the use of incense?"
Uncle Fu didn't speak any more, and stayed beside Zhou Qingli, just like the stormy waves in the past.
Only this time, I am afraid it is the biggest in my life.
Almost all of the Zhou family’s family members were taken away by Zhou Fang, and the rest of the house were old, weak, sick and disabled.
Zhou Zheng came to Andingmen, called Cao Bianjiao, Zhou Fang and others, and talked about the imperial decree of the Qing Palace.
Sure enough, Zhou Fang yelled: "Are their brains broken? Don't you know what's going on now? Are they all shit in their minds? Are they crazy..."
Cao Bianjiao looked as ugly as the others. It was already difficult to defend the city. He didn't expect to go out of the city to fight in the field. Isn't this going to die
Zhou Zheng looked at their expressions, and said with a sigh of composure, "It's not a chance! Cao Bianjiao, please prepare, tell my brothers, register their names, each of them will be ten taels of silver, and we will send it tonight! Tomorrow, one. Build a captive head, one or two silver! To the death of the war, fifty taels per person!"
Fifty taels, enough for a small family to live a lifetime.
When Cao Bianjiao and others heard Zhou Zheng's words, they knew that there was no chance for a change, so they could only endure it with anger.
Zhou Shuo said, go to Deshengmen to find Man Gui.
At this time, Zhao Lijiao was also there. Compared to Man Gui, he looked like a scholar. He took a sip and cursed: "Gou Ri, I knew I was in Tongzhou. I could still fight on both sides, and the court wouldn't do anything about it! "
Man Gui was at odds with him, gnawing on the pie, and did not speak.
Zhou Zheng looked outside the city that was already shining, and said, "We have no way to survive except to fight back and put it to death."
It was the first time that Zhao Lijiao and Zhou met. They also knew that he had guarded Andingmen for two days. It was more difficult than Man Gui. He didn't look down on him because of his age and said, "What is the solution?"
Zhou Zhengdao: "First, we must arouse the unprecedented courage and fighting will of all soldiers; second, they cannot be surrounded by captives, they have cavalry and powerful. Third, we must kill them by surprise and turn passiveness into initiative."
Man Gui and Zhao Liao listened, put down the bread and wine in their hands, looked at him, and said, "What are you going to do?"
"We are out of the city now, although we can't attack at night, but it can also make Jianlu unprepared and equalize our disadvantage!" Zhou Zheng said solemnly.
Zhao Lijiao and Man Gui thought carefully for a while, then looked at each other, throwing away the things in their hands, and said angrily, "Just do it! Let's assemble the army now, and rush to the army of prisoners at the fastest speed!"
Zhou Zheng saw that Zhao Lijiao and Man Gui did not hesitate, he was determined, and said: "Okay, in half an hour, we will be out of the city!"
Zhao Lujiao and Man Gui were surprised to see that Zhou Zheng, a young scholar, had such courage.
Man Gui patted Zhou Zheng's shoulder with one hand, and said, "If we can survive, you will be my Man Gui's brother!"
After all, Zhao Shujiao has read books, and he is not as straightforward as Man Gui, but watching Zhou Zheng is determined and appreciative of living and dying together. (End of this chapter)
