Chapter 57: Offensive
Huang Shu's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, and even many people in the city felt that Jin Sheng's matter was not beautiful enough, but Jin Sheng insisted on his own opinion: "Brother Zhonglin, you are very right, but we must be consistent with Zhezhong on the issue of right and wrong, as long as the Marquis of Tianmen nods, you are still my Ming Dynasty's Hubei Patrol, and the imperial court is only applicable to the whole time, maybe you will be the same as me at that time!"
But Jin Sheng's voice became more and more serious: "I can ask Brother Zhonglin to enter the city, and I can also guarantee Brother Zhonglin's absolute safety, and I can also guarantee all the supplies of the soldiers, but the more than 1,000 strong men under your command please stay outside the city for the time being, this is also the only way for me to win the trust of the imperial court!"
Huang Shu really can't take Jin Sheng, after all, when Ma Shiying was in power, he had no way to use Jin Sheng, a place where he killed hundreds of Guizhou soldiers, not to mention that he only had nearly a thousand soldiers now, so he could only fight for a little more benefits for himself: "Can I enter the city alone?" ”
Jin Sheng immediately gave a clear answer: "We are all Xiuning fellow villagers, I will definitely give this face, Brother Zhonglin and his entourage, family members, and personal guards can all enter the city, how can they also be Hubei patrols!"
Huang Shu originally felt that this matter was very risky, and as long as he entered the city alone, it would be a dead end, but as long as he brought dozens of soldiers into the city, he could turn Huizhou City upside down, not to mention that there were nearly a thousand soldiers outside the city to respond, and there was an army of King Azig behind him: "Okay, just do it according to Brother Jin Sheng's wishes, I will bring a hundred people into the city now!"
He estimated that he would have to bargain with Jin Sheng, but he didn't expect Jin Sheng to be honest: "No problem, it's limited to 100 people!"
Huang Shu felt that he should have said two hundred or two hundred and fifty people just now, but since he said it, it was not easy to regret it, he could only carefully select a hundred people from his command to prepare to enter the city with him, just to cover people's eyes, only fifty of these hundred people were fully armed with bows and arrows, knives and swords, while the remaining fifty people were ordered to hide their weapons: "When the time comes, you will act when the opportunity comes!"
A hundred elites of a hundred battles have been able to do a lot of things after entering the city, and Huang Shu even considered the plan of directly attacking after entering the city, but in the end he decided to act on the opportunity.
At this time, the gate of Huizhou was also opened, and Jiang Tianyi, Jin Sheng's proud disciple, personally stood at the gate of the city to welcome Huang Shu: "Zhonglin, now we have paid tribute to Zhezhong, so we can only say sorry for some things, please forgive me!"
Huang Shu's brigade was left outside the city, and he personally brought a hundred elite soldiers into the city, he patted Jiang Tianyi on the shoulder and said: "I can understand what Brother Jin Sheng has done, but now the situation is different from the past, now the great cause of Zhongxing is more important than everything, and the personal grievances of the past should be put aside, I think Empress Zhang and Yue Guogong will think so!"
It's just that when it comes to Empress Zhang and Liu Yongxi, the Duke of Yueguo, Huang Shu has endless hatred in his heart, and the adulterer ** doesn't give him Huang Zhonglin's face, so he will carry the Qing Dynasty to take this Huizhou city.
Thinking of this, Huang Shu secretly observed the situation around him, although the city gate was closed again after they entered the city, but the reason why Jin Sheng refused Huang Shu to enter the city was only because of his personal grudges with Empress Zhang and Liu Yongxi, and there was actually not much defense, the righteous officers and soldiers around Jiang Tianyi were all empty-handed and smiling, if there was a break out now, there was a good chance to take the city gate.
But Huang Shu thought about it carefully, and felt that it was better to wait first, after all, he knew very little about the situation in Huizhou City, and Jin Sheng also said very enthusiastically: "I know that Brother Zhonglin is also wronged in his heart, and my teacher has also specially arranged a reception banquet, I believe that the imperial court has its own royal bearing!"
The court of bullshit! It's a grass platform team composed of two women and a floating boy!
Huang Shu scolded and scolded, but still took Jiang Tianyi's hand and said: "That's good, let's go and drink two cups first, I haven't had a good drink in the past few months!"
Huizhou City not only prepared a sumptuous reception banquet for Huang Shu, but also prepared good wine and good food for this group of elite soldiers and strong generals who followed Huang Shu into the city, Jin Sheng personally came to apologize to Huang Shu: "Brother Zhonglin, let's go upstairs and drink well, I can't help it, who said that I am just an outsider to the imperial court, and I must be consistent with the imperial court in the major issues of right and wrong!"
In Jin Sheng's eyes, drawing a clear line with Huang Shu, the old rival of Empress Zhang and Liu Yongxi, is the so-called "big question of right and wrong", Huang Shu can only say very speechlessly: "It's okay, I can understand Brother Jin Sheng, but Brother Jin Sheng, you have to let these nearly 1,000 loyal and brave soldiers enter the city as soon as possible, the army of King Azig is about to be killed, and they will not enter the city...... Ahh
Huang Shu was walking upstairs, but no one expected that as soon as he went up to the second floor, six or seven sergeants rushed out and directly controlled him: "Be honest! Be honest with me!"
Huang Shu originally thought that Jin Sheng would do it on Jiuzhuo, but he didn't expect that as soon as he went upstairs and even entered the box, he was controlled by Jin Sheng, and his whole person was held down and couldn't move, so he could only turn his head to look for Jin Sheng and Jiang Tianyi: "Brother Jin Sheng, what do you mean by this?" The imperial court has its own heavenly temperament, and it will not take past grievances to the bottom of its heart!"
He still doesn't know where he has exposed his flaws, but Jin Sheng on the other side sneered: "What Brother Zhonglin said is very true, the imperial court has its own heavenly temperament, how can I put the personal grievances of the past in my heart, but as the secretary of the military affairs department of Admiral Huining Chitai, I still have not made an inch of merit enough to win the trust of the imperial court, so I have to borrow Brother Zhonglin's head to use it!"
Now that his soul is gone, he realizes that although Jin Sheng Jin Shangshu in front of him has always been a humble gentleman who is harmless to humans and animals, he really regards Jin Sheng as a harmless gentleman.
However, for more than ten years, Jin Sheng has managed Huizhou Mansion into an iron bucket that cannot be inserted into the country, and in the past two years, he has silently killed hundreds of Guizhou soldiers passing through Huizhou.
Although according to Jin Sheng's own statement, it was the corruption of the military discipline of the Qianbing soldiers that caused the villagers to besiege him, but according to Ma Shiying's statement, it was the villagers who fell in love with the Qianbing's goods and war horses, but no matter what the truth was, hundreds of regular soldiers died namelessly and without even a single life, Ma Shiying couldn't help Jin Sheng even when he was in Hongguang, which can only show that Jin Sheng is a first-class ruthless character.
How could he be blind, he felt that Jin Sheng's strength was easy to deal with, so he went directly to the Hongmen banquet: "Brother Jin Sheng, spare my life, I have ......"
It's just that Huang Shu's words were not finished, Jin Sheng had already cut off his head directly with a knife in his hand: "Brother Zhonglin is sorry, I can only borrow your head to win the trust of the court, Niangniang and King Yue must be Longyan Dayue when they see your head!"
Although Jin Sheng spread the news of Huang Shu's alliance to Xing Shengping and the imperial court, the imperial court must be magnanimous and not to blame in the past, but in the end, Zhang Niangniang and King Yue will definitely be unhappy, and Jin Sheng will also not be able to win the trust of the imperial court, and how to deal with Huang Shu is also a big trouble for the imperial court, it is better to let himself share the worries of the imperial court and use his head to win the trust of the imperial court.
After all, there is a good saying, "When a fellow sees a fellow countryman, his eyes are full of tears, and he stabs him in the back", I'm afraid Huang Zhonglin is also planning how to stab himself in the back, and Jiang Tianyi on the side feels that his teacher is too ruthless, but it is not good to raise objections: "Teacher, how to deal with the aftermath next?" ”
Jin Sheng sneered: "How to deal with the aftermath of the Qianbing case, and how to deal with the aftermath now, Huang Zhonglin gave me a big gift!"
It's just that before Jin Sheng finished speaking, he heard someone hurriedly running upstairs: "Jin Shangshu, now they have all been taken, but they all say that Huang Shu has been captured, they are coming to the front for the army of King Azig this time, they are preparing to deceive Huizhou City!"
Jiang Tianyi's whole body weakened when he heard the news, he had never been fearless, but at this moment he realized what the real troubled times were.
But Jin Sheng sneered when he mentioned Huang Shu's head: "Hurry up and ask the Marquis of Tianmen and the imperial court for help, now only the imperial court can save us, fortunately, we can use Huang Zhonglin's head to win the trust of the imperial court!"
Although there are many crises ahead, Jin Sheng's confidence in the cause of Daming Zhongxing has never been so sufficient.
Almost at the same time as the battlefield in southern Anhui, Wang Sunfan, who was passing through Jiangxi, also received the news that the Azig army was marching eastward, but at this moment Wang Sunfan was also full of confidence: "Since Jin Sheng has already presented the land to the imperial court, and Azig has not led his troops to conquer in person, we have joined forces with Jin Sheng, so that when the King of Yue enters Jinling, he naturally does not have to worry about the upstream!"
Now Liu Yongxi and Zhezhong are fighting on two fronts, since they are preparing to march into Jinling and drink the Yangtze River, they have to worry about the army of Azig sweeping from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, but Wang Sunfan feels that the situation is completely different after he and Jin Sheng are united, but someone immediately asked: "Then are we ready to fully support Jin Shangshu?" ”
Wang Sunfan said confidently: "Before I came, I had already discussed with Tong Yili Xiangguo, and he and the Marquis of Tianmen were responsible for fully supporting Jin Shangshu, and Jiang Province should learn from His Majesty the King of Yue and strive to cut off the Yangtze River!"
As soon as Wang Sunfan said this, everyone already understood that Wang Sunfan was the main force taking the opportunity of the Azig headquarters to advance eastward along the Yangtze River to launch a large-scale counterattack, and not only to cut off the Yangtze River, but also to prepare to recover the whole province of Jiangxi.
A big battle is coming!
On the battlefield of Nanzhili, the Yue Ming army, which had completed a large-scale reorganization of the army, finally launched an offensive, but unlike the expectations of the Qing army, the first to launch the offensive was the Jiaxing Ming army led by Chen Yuan and Zhang Huangyan.
Although from the perspective of money and food, Songjiang Mansion and Suzhou Mansion are the two most important and critical places in Nanzhili, but since the main force of the Yue Ming Army in Huzhou Mansion has been holding its troops and not firing, Duoduo, Haoge and Hong Chengchou did not dare to put too many reinforcements in the direction of Songjiang Mansion, so the actions of the Ming army in Songjiang Mansion can be described as overwhelming.
