Early in the morning, near the north city wall of the river, a small flag held a fire gun curled up under the battlement, he just took a nap, got up and stretched, suddenly stunned, looking at the wilderness of the city gate, the morning fog seems to hide a huge crisis, it is the army, countless troops lined up in the fog, the Qing army is killed again.

The small flag raised the fire and put it into the sky, the defenders on the entire north gate were all awakened, while entering the battle position in a mess, while Pegasus told General Fang Chenglong, who was responsible for the defense of the north gate, not much effort, Fang Chenglong arrived with a team of men and horses, hurriedly went up to the enemy building, picked up the clairroom and looked over, at this time the morning fog just dissipated, and the clairnel mirror saw the Ming army's clothes and armor, and a big "high" word on the Yamen flag.
Speaking of Gao Jie, he was born as a thief, and later returned to the imperial court, all the way to the general army, supporting Zhu Youxiang has his merits, on character is slightly stronger than Liu Liangzuo, at least it will not be lowered, but the bandit temper in the bones can not be changed, the corporal is better than the bandits, last year the imperial court let Gao Jie garrison Yangzhou, but the people and gentry of Yangzhou refused to enter the city, Gao Jie actually led the army to attack Yangzhou, and did not fight down for three days, It was only under the mediation of Shi Kefa that he retreated, and the notoriety of the Gao army could be seen, and if they were allowed to enter Omi, wouldn't it be worse than Duoduo.
A horse galloped to the city, holding Gao Jie's general order, and ordered the defenders at the head of the city to lower the drawbridge, open the city gate, and welcome Lord Xing Pingbo into the city.
Fang Chenglong leaned on the battlement and replied loudly: "Please ask General Gao to camp outside the city, the place in the city is small, and there are not many horses and horses. ”
The cavalryman was furious: "Ah! We galloped to the aid of the starry night, and you didn't let us into the city, you try to live in the wilderness in this winter! ”
"Without an order, I don't dare to open the door without permission." Fang Chenglong just didn't spit out, Gao's army entering the city was a catastrophe, which was proved by Liu Liangzuo's army stationed in Omi a month ago, and no one would repeat the mistakes of the past and let the people suffer.
A quarter of an hour later, Gao Jie personally came to the city, wearing a mane hat, covered with a python robe, surrounded by a group of arrogant soldiers, shouting and scolding at the city, Fang Chenglong turned a deaf ear, as long as the Gao army attacked the city, rolling wood and stones were waiting for them.
Gao Jie waved his hand, and the city was suddenly quiet, and he raised his head and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Fang Chenglong reported his name, and Gao Jie said, "But you killed Liu Liangzuo?" ”
Fang Chenglong said: "Liu Liangzuo rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and he died innocently. ”
Gao Jie nodded: "The future is terrifying." "Pull the horse and go.
Fang Chenglong thought that Gao Jie was going to attack the city, so he ordered the soldiers to light the velvet on the fire gun, ready to fight back at any time, but after waiting for a long time, Gao Jun actually set up camp.
The general army in the city, Fang Chengbin heard that Gao Jie's army arrived, and he was also in a dilemma, and let Gao Jun enter the city, it was a poison, don't let it go, how is it good for the Qing army to come again, suddenly the defenders of the east gate of the water came to report, saying that they had found the official ship from the east.
Fang Chengbin was overjoyed, led people to the east gate, stood on the enemy tower and looked into the distance, there were three official ships on the Huai River going upstream, waving flags, and the bow of the ship was impressively inserted with the Son of Heaven Fu Festival.
"It's the Qincha, the Qincha from Nanjing has arrived." Fang Chengbin finally breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to let Gao Jie enter the city, but he didn't want to tear his face, there was a lack of an intermediary in the two, and the Qincha representing the imperial court was the best middleman.
The Qincha on the official ship is Lu Jiude, the eunuch of the red man next to Emperor Hongguang, Lu Jiude was originally a eunuch in Beijing, and he has had many experiences in supervising the army, and he can be regarded as a person who has seen battles in the imperial court.
The Qincha boat arrived at Dongshuiguan, the gate was wide open, the ship was released into the city, Fang Chengbin greeted the Qincha at the wharf, three bows and nine knocks, the etiquette was solemn, Lu Jiude wore a gauze hat to warm his ears, wearing a big red python robe, the style was extraordinary, followed by two little eunuchs, accompanied by a hundred brocade guards, all wearing eight-petal hats, blue silk flags on the top of the helmet, wearing round-necked cardigan mask armor, wearing embroidered spring knives, majestic, and arrogant.
Lu Jiude did not have the arrogance of Qincha, but was very polite to Fang Chengbin, and comforted him warmly, and the two sides got on the sedan chair and came to the General Military Office to talk, and after some greetings, Fang Chengbin proposed to ask Lu Jiude to mediate Gao Jie's affairs.
"Lord Fang, General Gao soldiers have traveled thousands of miles to help Omijiang, you don't let him into the city, with his violent temper, maybe some moths will be made to the court, and long live the blockage, but those sons and daughters under him are too naughty, if they really enter Omijiang, the people will suffer, otherwise, you look at the face of our family, let Gao Zongbing enter the city, and bring his own soldiers, okay?" Lu Jiude speaks Beijing official dialect, which sounds very pleasant, smiling, and very amiable.
Fang Chengbin thought about it again and again, and finally agreed, but it was difficult to control the number of personal soldiers, so it was easy to say that Gao Jie was finally allowed to bring a thousand men and horses into the city.
"That's right." Lu Jiude narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth outlined a harmless smile of humans and animals.
……
Gao Zongbing also gave Lu Jiude face, pinched his nose and accepted this harsh condition, only brought a thousand personal soldiers into the city, when entering the north gate, the volunteers were very nervous, the bow was wound out of the sheath, and the Gao army was ready to prevent the Gao army from grabbing the door, but Gao Jie was not so desperate, a thousand personal soldiers did not even wear armor, and entered the city gate with a smile, so that Fang Chenglong pinched a handful of sweat.
Fang Chengbin gave up the Yamen of the General Army to Lu Jiude to stay, and there was no other suitable place in the city for the General Soldier Gao to rest his horse, so he sent his third brother to ask the four strangers to make room, Liu Yanzhi and others also cooperated, moved to the city inn to live, and gave the pavilion to Gao Jie and his personal soldiers.
Dang Aiguo was a little shocked when he learned that Gao Jie's army had arrived: "This guy is here, it's a bit troublesome." ”
Fang Chenglong said: "Gao Jie is domineering, especially Liu Liangzuo, if he is resident in Omijiang, the trouble for the eldest brother is a bit big." ”
Dang Aiguo said: "Gao Jie enters the city, there is no good thing, the third son must be careful." ”
Fang Chenglong bowed to the end: "Keep it in mind." ”
After the third prince left, Dang Aiguo said to his companions: "I have an ominous premonition, history has changed because of our arrival, according to the original historical trajectory, Wu Sangui should fight with Li Zihui at this time, instead of following Duoduo's southern expedition, and Gao Jie, he should die at the hands of Xu Dingguo, the general soldier of Henan, not Fang Chengbin." ”
Ji Yuqian said: "How can you conclude that Gao Jie will die in Omi. ”
The party patriotically said: "One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and it is a matter of obviousness." ”
Liu Yan said straightly: "I know what to do." ”
……
Qin Cha and Gao Zong were tired of traveling and driving, and rested first, Fang Chengbin set up a dinner to entertain them, and the holy decree will also be read out after the dinner, the general content Lu Jiude has revealed a little, Fang Chengbin at least has the title of a soldier squire, and the other generals have their own rewards, and the lowest is also a general.
Fang Chengbin was determined in his heart, the squire of the military department was a positive third grade, and he could completely suppress Gao Jie, and a feeling of gratitude filled his heart, saying that Emperor Hongguang was mediocre, but it seemed that the emperor was still very fair.
When the Qin mission arrived, the whole city of Jinjiang rejoiced, Fang Chengbin arranged ten carts of wine and meat to be sent to Gao Jie's army to comfort him, the tense atmosphere between the two sides weakened a lot, and the tense hearts of the volunteers finally relaxed.
In the evening, the general military office put up lights, the defense here was taken over by the Jinyi Guard, the Nanjing Jinyi Guard was re-established by Zhu Youxiang, played by the elite soldiers in the army, the small flags put on the big red flying fish suits, holding embroidered spring knives, standing beside Lu Jiude, the two gates of the gate were standing guards with long weapons, Gao Jie and Fang Chengbin only brought twenty or thirty personal soldiers, everyone did not wear armor, only wore battle robes, with short soldiers.
On the Omi Yiyong side, the number of generals basically attended, except for Fang Chenglong, Fang Chengbin was selfish, and deliberately concealed the merits of the third brother in the battle report, fearing that the third brother would lose his temper in front of the Qincha, so he deliberately did not let him attend the dinner, and also found a reason to let him lead the troops to patrol the city in case of emergency.
"Third brother, you can keep an eye on Gao Jie's 1,000 personal soldiers." Fang Chengbin explained.
Fang Chenglong was unhappy in his heart, but he still focused on the overall situation, nodded, and got on the horse.
Fang Chengbin returned to the government office and met Gao Jie in the hall, the two adults were dressed in black gauze round necks, embroidered with patches on their chests, smiling and chanting each other, and sat in two compartments.
The little servants put the incense case on the table, and Lu Jiude asked for the holy decree, and said in a deep voice: "Fang Chengbin takes the decree." ”
Omi Yiyong from Fang Chengbin down, Hulala all knelt down in the court, one by one happily waiting for the addition of officials to the knighthood, the world was in chaos, it was a good time to make meritorious contributions, Omi generals repelled the Qing army's large-scale attack, and the emperor had to reward them severely.
Fang Chengbin's heart is surging, strong and intense, his goal is the first auxiliary minister, the minister of the Ming Dynasty, the first step has been out, as long as the steps are followed, it is not difficult to hold half of the Ming Dynasty, and the Northern Expedition is not impossible to restore the Han family's clothes, as long as Liu Yanzhi is willing to contribute, he thought a lot for a moment, and was gently touched by his son before he woke up, and said suddenly: "Weichen, Fang Chengbin, take Omi Yiyong to receive the order." ”
Kneeling behind Fang Chengbin is his eldest son Fang Zihao, he is wearing a blue Tuanhua plain face robe, his face is full of heroism, this reward, he is indispensable for the title of a general, he became a general at a young age, and it is not a problem to soar in the future.
Lu Jiude unfolded the bright yellow scroll, coughed dryly, and said: "There is a decree in the saint, Fang Chengbin is good at killing the important generals of the imperial court, and the crime is unforgivable, you can take it down and escort it to Nanjing Dali Temple for disposal, Qin this." ”
After finishing speaking, he rolled up the holy decree, and said angrily: "Don't do it yet!" ”
The brocade guards on both sides drew their knives one after another, Fang Chengbin couldn't react for a while, but Fang Zihao reacted very quickly, jumped up and pulled out his sword and wanted to resist, Gao Jie overturned the table, tore open the official robe to reveal the soft armor worn inside, drew his knife and said: "Kill, kill them all, don't leave any behind!" ”
There was a sound of swords drawn out of the sheath in the government office, and the soldiers of the Fang family were unwilling to be captured, and wanted to fight to the death, when they suddenly heard a person on the roof say loudly: "At present, brothers, you are really promising." ”
