Li Huajing was bolder, looking at Liu Zeqing, who was sitting with a book and a gloomy face, he unconsciously raised his arms and said angrily: "More than 3,000 guards have made us so embarrassed, this matter can't just stop." Please send another 30,000 troops to send all the Neiding cavalry to fight, the last general is willing to lead the troops to the battle, if you don't take Min Yuanqi's head back, the last general is willing to offset with his own head. ”

Li Huajing really didn't pay attention to the matter of Yunti Pass.

It is indeed those dirt buns who won, but it is only because of the geographical advantage, and after the first battle, it must be extremely tired, since the cloud ladder pass has shown good strength, and the two sides have torn their faces, of course, they want to raise a large army again, and directly put it down.

In the final analysis, there are only about 3,000 people in Yunti Pass, and the strength is still quite weak.

Such an enemy, let it grow, is the greatest danger.

Seeing that Liu Zeqing didn't speak, Li Huajing continued: "Those Ziwei troops are poor and hard, and they don't have many iron armor and firearms when they look at the military report, it is estimated that they are pieced together, such an enemy should not be the opponent of my army." ”

Liu Zeqing was still hesitating, but after listening to Li Huajing's words, he unconsciously scolded: "Idiot, let's all leave, which one will come to see home?" ”

"Is the marshal worried about the north?"

"It's not just the north." Liu Zeqing snorted coldly and said, "What kind of good person do you think Huama Liu is?" Our army is all elite, if these two don't come out to fight Lao Tzu's autumn wind, and don't take the opportunity to copy Lao Tzu's back road, Lao Tzu will believe in his evil! ”

Among the generals present, there were also people of insight, who nodded frequently at the moment and greatly agreed.

They are also afraid that Liu Zeqing will run to fight with a group of poor ghosts in anger, Yuntiguan heard that the profit of drying salt is not small, but how can it be compared with Huai'an Mansion and many states and counties?

If someone takes Huai'an, even if they take the Cloud Ladder Pass, they will not be able to make up for this loss.

Don't let Huai'an Dafu go, run to the beach and fight to death with a group of mud-legged guards, it's not cost-effective to think about it.

It's just that Li Huajing had something to say but didn't dare to say it, he knew it was like this, why bother in the first place?

Liu Zeqing is also a little embarrassed, but he can get to this point, his face is thick and black and he has to make trade-offs to achieve the feat in front of him, although he is extremely hateful at the moment, he can't wait to get Min Yuanqi over and skin him alive, but he can only say: "Put the cloud ladder off for the time being, the overall situation here is important." Next year, Benjue will rely on the imperial court grain and Huai'an taxes to achieve an army of 100,000, and then I want to see what kind of scene Yunti Pass can be? ”

Li Huajing said: "It's still the handsome man who thinks thoughtfully, and it's the last general Meng Lang." ”

"You lead your troops to garrison the Guanyun area." Liu Zeqing's heart was boiling with anger, and he couldn't wait to arrest Min Yuanqi and those banner soldiers to skin and cramp, but at this time, he had to put the overall situation first, so he could only hold back his emotions and instructed Li Huajing: "Be cautious, read the military newspaper Yao Qian and Liu Kecheng said that the cavalry of these banner armies is fierce, like a wolf, accidentally ask it to bite off a bite of meat, you must not be careless." ”

Li Huajing said with a smile: "The last general brought the Neiding cavalry, the elite is extraordinary, and he will never ask a group of mud-legged people who can just ride a horse to ask for benefits." ”

Liu Zeqing thought the same thing in his heart, but he couldn't help glaring at Li Huajing.

Seeing that Li Huajing only agreed to go down, Liu Zeqing sighed, sneered and said in a low voice: "It's okay now, I'm going to tell Donglin's group of people to watch the joke!" ”

"It's still about mediation." Shi Kefa said in a deep voice to Zhou Lianggong, who rushed over from Taizhou: "At the moment of the great enemy, if you start fighting, the students will never tolerate this happening." ”

Shi Kefa pleaded with Gao Jie's troops to go north from Yangzhou in April, and with great righteousness to Gao Jiexiao, he finally persuaded Gao Jie, who was born unruly and unruly, and Gao Jie was moved by Shi Kefa's loyalty and righteousness, and was also ordered to go north, no longer fight with Huang Degong, and fight for Yangzhou.

Yangzhou went north, Xu Dingguo, the general soldier of Gao Jie's department, was stationed in Suining, Li Chaoyun, the general soldier, was stationed in Sizhou, and the generals Jiang Yingxiong, Xu Zhankui, Guo Maorong, Li Yu, etc., and Gao Jie himself went to Xuzhou and Suiyang to garrison.

Among the four towns, Gao Jie's war experience is the most sufficient, and he has the most arrogant soldiers and fierce generals, at that time, Xu Huai was empty, Liu Zeqing could not have the courage to go north, Gao Jie's department went all the way south to Yangzhou, if it was not for Shi Kefa to personally reconcile with the respect of the cabinet, Gao Jie and Huang Degong would definitely fight in Yangzhou, it is estimated that the Qing army would not wait for the Qing army to go south, and Huaiyang to Nanjing directly became a battlefield.

Gao Jie Beizhen, and plans to go north to Henan and Shandong, for the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the stronger the Gao Jie Department, the stronger the strength, the safer the north.

In addition, the general soldier Huang Fei was ordered to go south to guard the Jingkou, and Liu Zhaoji, Li Qifeng and other small military town commanders were transferred to Yangzhou to garrison.

Although it has not become the trend of the eight towns inside and outside, in the summer of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, after Shi Kefa left the town, he basically combed the outer garrisons.

Compared with the various discomforts and political disputes in Nanjing, although Shi Kefa did not have the same high position and power as the head and auxiliary of the cabinet in the local government, he also saved a lot of troubles.

Just not being annoyed by Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang and others every day, Shi Kefa felt that it was a good thing for him to go out of town.

Of course, at this moment, Shi Kefa didn't know that Gao Jie was stabbed to death soon after, the Northern Expedition was interrupted, and then the proud soldiers of the Gao Department went to their own towns, Shi Kefa went north to mediate to no avail, and when the Qing army arrived, most of the Gao Department surrendered, which is a pity.

The other thing was what Shi Kefa's pig teammates did

Although Shi Kefa's ability is limited, at least before leaving the town of Yangzhou and the Qing army going south, he can be regarded as exhausting himself in the local area and doing a lot of practical things.

If there is no accident, the trend of history may change, but sometimes no matter how much deployment and no amount of thought can withstand the accident, just like the matter in front of him, Liu Ze Qingming was ordered to garrison Huai'an Mansion, but he coveted the benefits of the salt field to attack Yunti Pass without authorization, this one thing alone is enough to make Shi Kefa scratch his head.

Looking at Zhou Lianggong with an unwilling face in front of him, Shi Kefa said helplessly: "The town general is unruly, and the students can only be righteous and write a private letter to persuade Dongningbo to withdraw his troops." ”

What if the epistle is ignored?

You must know that when Huang Degong and Gao Jie first fought, Shi Kefa himself was almost detained by these two fierce generals.

Later, he had a lot of dealings, Shi Kefa was famous and respected in the end, and the two fierce generals had to give face, and Gao Jie also went north to prepare for the Northern Expedition, which is also an outlier.

But it is more likely that Liu Zeqing simply ignored it.

Zhou Lianggong was not easy to exit, afraid that the scene would be too embarrassing, so he just arched his hand and asked, "What about Min Yuanqi over there?" He had just taken office, but he didn't miss anything. ”

"I can only let him stay away for a while." Shi Kefa pinched his eyebrows and said quite distressedly: "Dongningbo guards Huai'an, and it is reasonable that the salt profits are in his hands. Min guerrilla refused to give up profits, and the army and the town generals competed, which in the eyes of students can be regarded as a violation of the national law system."

Zhou Lianggong said lightly: "Even the students don't know, Yizhen will be good at attacking guerrillas, this is the national law system that the Ming Dynasty has since had." ”

Shi Kefa's face was feverish, he felt a little embarrassed, and only after half a sound did he say in a deep voice: "Master Zhou, students know that words cannot be convincing, but this is the time when this dynasty is eventful, and in the autumn of wind and rain, everyone should work together and focus on the overall situation. In the final analysis, Min Guerrilla is no more than a battalion of soldiers, although the students are also optimistic about him and want to support him as the general of a town, but at this time, since he is facing each other with Dongning Bo's sword soldiers, the students are afraid that he is not an opponent and will be seriously injured. Second, I also want to eliminate the internal strife in Huai'an Mansion for the sake of the overall situation, so I have this discussion, and I hope that Lord Zhou will understand one or two."

With Shi Kefa's status and real power, saying such things to Zhou Lianggong can be regarded as an extremely sincere move.

In any case, the cabinet lord in front of him can be regarded as a very charismatic personality, and he is indeed thinking about the court.

Zhou Lianggong pondered for a moment and said, "How about transferring Min Yuanqi's department to Taizhou to garrison?" ”

"Let's put it in Yancheng." Shi Kefa said with a smile: "Yangtai is one, there are already several chief military officers stationed here, and it is already extremely difficult to receive food and salary, and the towns are asking the court for food and salary every day, and I have to ask Lord Zhou to be considerate of one or two more." ”

Yancheng was only a county at this time, but there were many stove households, but most of the salt profits were attributed to the salt merchants in Huai'an and Yangzhou Taizhou, and there were not many rich households in the local area, and the local oil and water were relatively limited.

However, in Shi Kefa's opinion, Min Yuanqi and his thousands of people were attacked by Liu Zeqing's army, and I am afraid that there will not be many people left when he succeeds in mediation.

Stationed in Yancheng County, it is considered Zhou Lianggong's direct standard camp, and the imperial court will not subsidize too much food, mainly from Yancheng County.

Although it is far from being stationed in Taizhou, compared to Min Yuanqi, who was stationed in a despicable place like Yuntiguan before, it is quite a good result to be able to garrison a county.

Based on Shi Kefa's understanding of these fierce generals, Min Yuanqi must wantonly loot and recover his vitality when he arrives in Yancheng, at least he has to re-establish a battalion of soldiers, and it doesn't matter if Yancheng is tossed, it is not good to be too partial to Liu Zeqing, and Taizhou and Yangzhou are all prosperous and important places, but you can't let Min Yuanqi go to Taizhou to toss.

Zhou Lianggong was reluctantly acceptable to such a result, but Zhu Wanchun, who was beside him, arched his hand and said: "Lord Cabinet, when I came here in my later life, Min Yuanqi had an explanation, and I had something to ask Lord Cabinet for advice. ”

When Zhu Wanchun came in, Zhou Lianggong gave a brief introduction, but with Shi Kefa's status, he would not take the son of a businessman in his eyes, let alone take Zhu Wanchun's so-called official position of guerrilla praise painting to heart.

However, since this person has something to say, of course Shi Kefa will not stop it, just frowning slightly, and said: "If Min Yuanqi has anything to say, you can be blunt." ”

"Lord Xie Gebu." Zhu Wanchun bowed, looked up at Shi Kefa and said, "What Min Yuanqi wants to ask is, if he can defeat the soldiers and horses sent by Liu Zeqing to Yunti Pass, can the cabinet master open a town between Yunti Pass and Yancheng for him?" After opening the town, he will definitely organize a large army, go to Haizhou to garrison, cooperate with the garrison in Xuzhou, and even go north to the northeast of the mountains to resist the strong enemy. ”
