Zhu Yousong sent the eunuch Zhang Gonggong on the spot to the imperial city official office to convey his will to Ma Shiying.

Ma Shiying, who was working in the Cabinet First Auxiliary Office, immediately went to the Ministry of War to handle matters after receiving the emperor's will conveyed by Gonggong Zhang.

"Humph! Guo Wendong, a courtier, has no merit, how can he be promoted because he is pleasing to the emperor! ”

Shi Kefa, who was the secretary of the Ministry of War, was in the Ministry of War, and after learning about this, he was angry again on the spot.

Despite Shi Kefa's blocking, under the leadership of Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng, Guo Wendong's appointment was approved.

————————

After Guo Wendong left the imperial city, he rode home on a small white dragon, escorted by Chu Yuan and thirty guards.

When passing by an inn on a certain street, he was noticed by the shopkeeper in the inn.

"Attention, this person is Guo Wendong!"

The shopkeeper whispered to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper looked outside and saw Guo Wendong riding a tall horse, and said, "I didn't shoot Guo Wendong last time, it's his fate!" ”

The shopkeeper said: "Since Taizu raised his army, in the past thirty years, my Qing Dynasty has become stronger and stronger, how can Guo Wendong stop it." Lord Suo will be able to get rid of him. ”

This inn is called "Youjian Inn", which was originally opened by private individuals, but was bought by the Qing court last year, and was used as a normal inn to hide people's eyes and ears, its purpose was to facilitate inquiring about news, and it was also one of the places where Qing court spies settled in the city.

The inn is a gathering place for people, whether it is modern or ancient, diners eat at the inn, talk about things by the way, some people have something to discuss, gather at the inn to discuss together.

In this inn, they met all kinds of people, including literati, merchants, officials, etc., and listened to many topics discussed.

The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper used this identity to find out a lot of information from it and sifted out useful information from it.

————————

"I'm promoted again! It is a five-grade general. ”

After returning home, Guo Wendong told his two wives the good news.

Ma Lanxin and Mao Lingzhi were very happy.

Mao Lingzhi said: "Congratulations to the husband, congratulations to the husband!" It seems that the husband entered the palace to meet him, which made His Majesty happy! ”

Guo Wendong said with a smile: "That's nature, let the emperor have a good time, and naturally have a happy face." ”

The two daughters quickly became curious, and Ma Lanxin asked, "Husband, how did you make Your Majesty happy?" ”

Guo Wendong said: "Well...... Anyway, your husband, just make Your Majesty happy! ”

You can't say anything about going in and out of viagra in front of your wife, otherwise you will be obedient.

Ma Lanxin said: "Husband, in the future, you will work with your father and brother to support the court." I heard that Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo's disciples are not reliable at all, and Daming can only rely on our Guo family and Ma family. ”

Hehe, it's strange that Ma Shiying's father and son are reliable, otherwise it wouldn't be like in 1645 in history, when the Qing army was at the forefront of the army, and the Southern Ming court had no way to resist.

On this day, a sumptuous dinner was made at home to celebrate.

The next day, Guo Wendong gathered the main personnel under his command at the Shenji Battalion Office.

Zhang Huangyan, Yan Yingyuan, Yu Yufeng, Liu Jifang, Chen Zilong, Zheng Sen, these are the six major generals when Guo Wendong started.

Gu Yanwu, as the main bookkeeper, sat on the other side.

Everyone still doesn't know about Guo Wendong's promotion.

Zheng Sen said: "My lord, the training of the Shenji Battalion is going well, as long as the supply of food and salary is guaranteed and equipped with new firearms, in time, it will definitely become a strong army." It's just that there are only 6,000 troops in Beijing, and if the Qing soldiers go south, they will have to rely on defending the Beijing division, and I am afraid that they will not be able to catch it. ”

Chen Zilong said: "Even if the Shenji Battalion becomes an elite soldier like the Yue Family's Army, after all, the number is small, and if the Qing army exceeds 100,000 people, it will be really difficult to resist. ”

Guo Wendong did not respond immediately, he looked around at the generals and asked, "If the Manchu Qing raise troops to the south, how should we respond to the enemy?" You have any opinions, but it doesn't hurt to say them. ”

The scene was quiet, and the generals were all thinking about it.

Guo Wendong has a preliminary plan for how to deal with the big battle with the Qing army next year, but this is only a plan that he came up with personally, and he still needs to brainstorm.

Liu Jifang first broke the calm and said: "The four towns in Jiangbei all have heavy troops, which may be able to resist for a while. Of course, even the elite of the Ming Dynasty was defeated by the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, and Liu Zeqing, Gao Jie and others could not resist for long. ”

Yu Yufeng said: "Maybe the situation will be worse, the Qing court is not blindly beating the Ming generals, if they surrender to the four towns in Jiangbei, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not surrender." ”

When he said this, everyone suddenly felt reasonable, and the atmosphere at the scene became heavy.

Guo Wendong had known the results for a long time, and based on this, he made a preliminary anti-Qing plan, and the first step had been successfully implemented.

Yan Yingyuan said: "If Gao Jie and others surrender, and their subordinates are shaved and incorporated into the Qing army, the strength of the Qing army will be stronger, and the strength of our Ming army will be weaker." ”

Zheng Sen said: "To fight against Jiannu and defend the country, the situation is grim. But as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, I should take it as my responsibility to serve the country, even if I die on the battlefield, Sen will not regret it. ”

Chen Zilong said: "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and the husband should be like this." ”

The mood of the subordinates was quickly mobilized, and they spoke to their heart's content, all of them were impassioned, and they swore to resist Jiannu to the death.

In addition to Yu Yufeng and Liu Jifang, the two people who were promoted by Guo Wendong, the other four people are indeed the same on the outside and on the outside, and they insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty all their lives.

Guo Wendong calmly observed the reactions of his subordinates, and after the generals made a generous statement, he finally said: "Everyone, like you, even if I die on the battlefield, I will never shave my hair and become a slave. In order to defend my homeland, even if my Guo Wendong is bankrupt, I will fund the Shenji Camp to the end. ”

Then, with a smile on his face, he said to everyone: "Let me tell you a good news, the military department has just appointed me as a general of the Beijing battalion, and the number of personnel in the Shenji battalion has been doubled. ”

"Okay!"

"Great!"

The subordinates were excited.

Guo Wendong said: "There are more people in our Shenji Battalion, and the certainty of fighting against the Qing has increased a few points. ”

Zhang Huangyan faced Guo Wendong and said, "My lord, I have a suggestion. Since ancient times, the Yangtze River has been a natural hazard in the south, and Zheng Vice Qian's father, who came to Annanbo and Fujian General Army, has a powerful sailor in his hands. He felt that he could suggest to the imperial court that he should send sailors north to Songjiang, and then come to Nanjing along the river to build the Yangtze River. In this way, even if the land north of the river is ready for the Qing court to capture, it can also ensure that the land south of the river is worry-free. ”

The Zheng family sailor was the most powerful sailor in the late Ming Dynasty, and later retreated to the Ming and Zheng regimes in Taiwan, relying on the sailors to be in a safe corner, if it wasn't for Shi Lang's surrender to the Qing court, the Qing court might not be able to destroy the Zheng family.

"Yes, that's how it should be!"

Zheng Sen looked suddenly enlightened, Huo Di stood up, and said to everyone: "My Zheng family has created such a powerful sailor, so I should defend the imperial court, and I will repair a letter to my father later, and ask him to dispatch a sailor to guard the Yangtze River." ”
