Chapter 97 The army opens
On the first day of May, under heavy rain, Yangzhou, which has been prosperous for centuries, has become a purgatory on earth.The corpses in the city were piled up like a mountain, and almost all the people in the city were slaughtered. The corpses were piled up in the river, dyeing the entire river red. I heard that this kind of massacre has lasted for ten days. It was not until today when the sun came out and the wind stopped and the rain stopped that the Qing army stopped the massacre.

The monks from the temple went out, and with the acquiescence of the Qing army, they collected the corpses one by one. After a few days, the monks alone collected more than 80 corpses. If the frontline scouts did not guarantee their lives, the number would be much more. The ministers in the court couldn't imagine what it would be like if more than 80 corpses piled up together...

Zuo Fu looked at the report sent by Zhu Cihuang, his face was gloomy, and there was a nameless anger flashing in his heart.

At the time when she came, this period of history has long been a distant memory. People remember more the scars left by the Japanese people on China, the crying of 30 heroic spirits in Nanjing, and the accusations of the survivors who are still alive... …

But for this period of history... Time has already healed the scars, and people have subconsciously chosen to forget, including her.

Now, she is placed in this period of history alive, and when a letter of information filled with words such as killing and adultery comes from the front line, Zuo Fu suddenly finds that she can no longer ignore this period of history as she did when she first came here.

so sad...

The elderly, children, women and children...

Almost no one survived in the huge city of Yangzhou, and she found it hard to breathe just looking at these memorials, not to mention what kind of mood it would be to see it with her own eyes...

Hands clenched involuntarily, grief and anger mixed together, this complex and heavy emotion made her unable to utter a word, she could only stare blankly at these reports, letting her thoughts drift away.

After an unknown amount of time, she said in a low voice: "The army will be marching tomorrow, my daughter and master will go to the front with you."

Zuo Dayou was taken aback, "How does this happen? As a father, you are only one daughter. If something happens to you, how can you be at ease as a father?"

After a pause, he continued: "It is destiny for me to die in battle, and you must repay your kindness. Why do you follow Dad to take risks?"

"The Tartars are so cruel, if the father fails, how can our family survive?"

Zuo Fu said in a cold voice: "Daughter has always wanted to run away, but she felt that the Ming Dynasty was so defeated that it would not be able to fight against the Qing army. It is inevitable that the country will be ruined and the family will perish. Therefore, it is necessary to go far away to save life. But my daughter planned For such a long time, people are not as good as God, and they have not been able to leave this city of Nanjing. If the father fails, those who prayed for surrender will fight back, and if they have no intention of resisting, then the lives of hundreds of people in our Zuo family will not be saved..."

She paused and said again: "Zhou Shichang must also know the power of it, so he let go of his personal grievances and confides in his father."

"Fu'er believed what the dog thief said?"

"Believe it or not doesn't matter.

Zuo Fu said: "It doesn't matter whether he is greedy for power or he doesn't want to be a traitor, in short, he is the first person to formally come out and admit to the young master. Only this one will not let him go."

"Why is this?"

Zuo Dayou was very puzzled, "He doesn't have Tartar's blood on his hands..."

"Father, do you know what happened to the young master's heart after he ascended the throne?"

Zuo Fu slowly said: "Zuo Liangyu died of illness a few days ago, if I don't show up again, his son Zuo Menggeng will come down. But now that I am on the throne, the court has recognized him as the blood of the late emperor. So get together, and Zuo Menggeng also wrote to the imperial court, the crisis in the west has been resolved, and we only need to deal with the Tartars with all our strength."

"Fur means that His Majesty's ascension to the throne has stabilized people's hearts?"

Zuo Fu nodded, "So it may not be so easy for the Qing army to conquer us, and the person who facilitated all this is actually not my father, but Zhou Shichang."

Zuo Dayou was confused again, "What's the matter with Zhou Shichang?"

Zuo Fu forgot to take a look at his father, and sighed in his heart: Although his father has some schemes, his vision is a bit weak after all, and his political savvy is too poor...

"Zhou Shichang came in official uniform that day, and he was the Minister of the Ministry of War. In the past, he was a lecturer in the Imperial Academy. He had a good reputation among the scholars. Back then, he recommended Hong Chengchou, and if Hong Chengchou had not surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he would have He will not be implicated and kicked to Nanjing. Therefore, as a member of civil servants, he has a lot of influence in Nanjing, and he was the first to come out and admit the young master, which united the hearts of the people, and the Qing army will not let him go in the future."

Zuo Dayou suddenly realized, "So that's the case. So, can we cooperate with him?"

"It doesn't work if you don't cooperate."

Zuo Fu said: "In this situation, personal honor and disgrace have to be let go. Zhou Shichang has no choice, and neither do we. We can only work together to get through the current crisis first."

"But you go to the front..."

"Father, Qin Liangyu can wear armor to repay the country's favor, why can't my daughter?"

Zuo Fu said: "Besides, there are many elite soldiers to protect, so what danger is there for my daughter? We will set off tomorrow, and when we arrive at Jingkou, we will send a small group of people to cross the Yangtze River, plant landmines in Guazhou and other places in advance, and set up an ambush. To annihilate the vanguard of the Qing army, break the myth of its invincibility, and give the people the confidence to resist the Qing, this is our primary goal."

Zuo Dayou thought for a while, and finally nodded, "Nowadays, the people are afraid, and they really want a victory."

After a pause, he continued: "Your Majesty also needs..."

The conversation between the father and daughter ended here, and Liu Runiang, who learned that her daughter was going to the front line, was extremely calm, and she did not make any noise like ordinary women. Instead, she personally prepared the belongings for Zuo Fu, but entrusted: "Everything should not be forced." , Mother is waiting for you and your father to come back."

Zuo Fu held Liu Runiang's hand, looked at the white hair quietly protruding from this cheap mother's head, felt sour, bit his lips for a while, but finally didn't say a word, only nodded vigorously, and said softly: " Mother take care."

On the second day, the continuous heavy rain lingering in the city of Nanjing finally stopped, and the long-lost Father Sun finally showed a smiling face, as if he was also encouraging the marching army. In just a short while, the early summer sun would wet the muddy The ground was dry, and the army's travel became more convenient.

Zuo Dayou, in armor, rode a tall horse and lined up at the front of the army formation. The flag with Ming characters was erected high and fluttered in the wind. Soldiers lined up solemnly, looking towards the top of the city. At that place, the emperor of Ming Dynasty was Doing the last speech before the expedition.

Looking at the army below the city, Zhu Ci couldn't help clenching his hands that were tucked into the sleeves of his dragon robe.This is his last blow against fate, success means survival, failure means death, at such a moment, he feels that all words are superfluous, and only a glass of blood wine can express his gratitude.

Gao Yong beside him handed over the fine wine, and Zhu Cihong took out a dagger presented by Zuo Fu from his bosom. He looked around at the crowd, then suddenly opened his sleeves, cut the skin of his wrist while the courtiers exclaimed, and wiped the bloody Go into the wine cup, then raise the cup and say loudly: "All officers and men, all common people, the Zhu family has failed you. Today I apologize to you with blood wine!"
