The rise of the poor

Chapter 1816

"Well, no matter what, General Wang died for the country. Just remember to make a good coffin later. If you can't find General Wang's body after the war, you can make him a tomb. Remember Remind me that if I write an elegiac couplet and epitaph for General Wang, it is worth working together."

Shang Zhifu sighed, and told the officials behind him to make a tomb for General Wang, and he sent an elegiac couplet and epitaph.

"Of order, my lord." The official behind nodded vigorously, keeping this matter in mind.

"Look, is the one in front of you General Wang?"

When Shang Zhifu was still in mourning for General Wang, a surprised cry suddenly interrupted his mourning.

"Who?! General Wang?"

Shang Zhifu was very surprised when he heard the words, and looked outside the city, he saw the leading general, whose figure was very much like General Wang, and the armor on his body was exactly the same as the ancestral armor of General Wang, his eyes widened in disbelief.

General Wang is still alive?! Am I reading that right?!
Shang Zhifu rubbed his eyes, and looked at it again steadily, it was still the familiar armor of the familiar figure.

So, he turned his head to look at the lieutenant general beside him, and asked uncertainly, "In your opinion, he is General Wang?"

"My lord, you are not mistaken. The leader is undoubtedly General Wang, and the last general can be sure." The deputy general said with certainty. He has followed General Wang for more than ten years. Although he is far away, he recognizes Wang at a glance. General.

General Wang turned into ashes, he couldn't recognize him, but as long as General Wang didn't turn into ashes, he wouldn't admit his mistake.

He has this confidence.

"You have a good eye, then let's see if there are Japanese pirates chasing after General Wang and the others?" Shang Zhifu asked again.

The deputy general looked carefully for a moment, then shook his head vigorously, "My lord, there are no Japanese pirates chasing behind General Wang and the others.".

"Is this General Wang returning to the city after winning the battle? But that's not right. General Wang only brought 700 soldiers out of the city, but now 700 are returning. Why are there [-] more?"

Shang Zhifu looked out of the city with a complicated expression, he felt that the most unacceptable and worst situation had happened.

General Wang fell into the trick of the Japanese pirates to lure the enemy, led his troops out of the city, was ambushed by the Japanese pirates, and was captured by the Japanese pirates.

In order to survive, General Wang rebelled and surrendered to the Japanese pirates, which would lead the Japanese pirates to attack or cheat the city.

Otherwise, how could there be six or seven hundred more people? It must be Japanese pirates.

"My lord, what should we do now?" The deputy general obviously thought of the worst situation and asked Shang Zhifu for instructions.

"Now is an extraordinary period. The enemy and the enemy are unknown. What can we do? Of course, we are ready to defend the city. General Wang and the others are here. Please stop within a stone's throw away, stay safe and don't be impatient, and then make the next step after screening. In an extraordinary period, General Wang can go out of the city to pursue Japanese pirates regardless of his own safety for the sake of Suzhou City, I guess General Wang will understand." Shang Zhifu gave the lieutenant a look and ordered.

"Follow the order. The lord of the government has ordered, prepare to defend the city, everyone is there, the thunder, stone and rolling wood are in place, the bows and crossbows are all stringed, and the firearms are loaded in advance, but don't shoot the arrows without authorization, everything waits for the lord and the general's orders. "

The lieutenant clasped his fists to accept the order, and ran back and forth on the city wall, conveying the orders of Shang Zhifu, so that all the officers and soldiers were ready to defend the city.

Soon, not long after preparing to defend the city on the city wall, General Wang and the others went a mile outside the city gate.

"Don't be nervous later, and don't look at me. Don't look at me at any time, so as not to arouse suspicion. According to what I taught you before, just shout to open the city gate normally. You are the General Wang who has returned from victory. Of course, you also Don't think about going back, you can't turn back, let's not say that you have swallowed the Japanese unique poison, and if there is no antidote in three days, you will die from gut piercing, just say now, as long as I give an order , you will immediately die from hidden arrows, knives and axes."

Xu Hai was also in the ranks, riding beside General Wang, with his helmet lowered, looking at the Suzhou City that was close at hand, twitching the corners of his mouth smugly, and commanding General Wang in a threatening tone.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, those who know the current affairs are heroes. The general understands that the general will never be half-hearted. The general has already memorized the words to deal with the several situations that the king explained." General Wang nodded vigorously.

"There may be unexpected situations, but you just need to remember that you are the General Wang who has returned from victory, and you should deal with it boldly! If you cheat to open the city gate, you will be a great achievement, and you will be rewarded with ten thousand gold. You belong!"

Xu Hai generously promised like a big hand.

Wan Jin...

After listening to Xu Hai's promise, General Wang stared at the boss immediately, and slapped his chest to swindle and open the city gate.

He is not interested in the fourth place in the Juyi Hall of the Japanese pirates, but he is very interested in gold.With so much gold, it is worth betraying the imperial court. In the future, I will hide my name and wait for the limelight to pass. If I change my identity and use the gold to clear the way, I can make a comeback, or even go further.

Looking at General Wang, who was beaten like chicken blood, Xu Hai nodded in satisfaction, then turned his head and said to the more than 100 officers and soldiers who surrendered, "You are all the same, cheating to open the city gate, you are also a great achievement, everyone All will reward you with 300 taels of silver. In the name of the ancestors of the old Xu family, I promise you that after taking Suzhou City, your family members, your relatives, as long as the peach charm I gave you is hung on the door, you will be treated well after entering the city. They have committed no crime, and their personal and property safety is guaranteed."

Before departure, Xu Hai gave General Wang ten peach charms engraved with cherry blossoms, and five peach charms to each surrendered soldier.Each peach talisman can protect a family from being offended by Japanese pirates, which is basically enough to protect themselves, their relatives and friends.

After receiving rewards and safety guarantees, the more than 100 officers and soldiers who surrendered were also very excited, and they expressed their allegiance to Xu Hai one after another, and fully cooperated in fraudulently seizing the city gate.

Xu Hai nodded in satisfaction.

Soon, Suzhou City was within sight.

"General Wang, please forgive me in this critical time. Please also General Wang and a group of brothers stand still within a stone's throw away, and don't come any closer. Otherwise, please forgive me for being rude, the sword has no eyes, and the last general will I don’t want to hurt General Wang and the brothers by mistake.”

The lieutenant general saw General Wang approaching with his horse and shouted loudly, ordering General Wang and the others to stop within a stone's throw away.

"Zhang Heizi, you have turned your back on the sky. Now that you recognize the future, you dare to stop the general outside the city gate and let the general stand still within a stone's throw. Are you tired of living?! Okay Boy, you really are a rebellious boy, you shut me out of the city, don't you want to usurp the throne, don't you?" General Wang immediately waved his horsewhip and pointed at the lieutenant general on the city gate, yelling.

The deputy general's forehead was sweating profusely, "General Wang, you are too serious, and you have wronged the last general. Now is an extraordinary time, please forgive me."

"Forgive your size, open the gate of the city immediately, and let the general take the brothers into the city, eat some hot food, drink some hot soup, you all shrink back and dare not go out of the city, these brothers and I braved the severe cold to fight My life is in danger, follow me out of the city to chase down the Japanese pirates, and I won a big victory, so don't let the hearts of the brothers be chilled."

General Wang waved his horsewhip, jumped up and cursed arrogantly.

This is what Xu Hai told him, the more arrogant and domineering the better, this is the bearing that a great general who has returned from victory should have.
