Speaking of this, someone added: "And we are now the soldiers and horses of the Longwu Dynasty, He Futai is not thin on us!" ”

Hao Shaoqi said generously: "If it weren't for the first emperor's appreciation, I would still be a standard-bearer now, although the first emperor went, the Fengtian Empress and the loyal camp were in Jingzhou Mansion, not to mention that His Majesty the Emperor drove his own car to conquer Yiling and fight with the western thieves, how could I Hao Shaoqi not go, although He Futai was good to us, but he just wanted to use us, in their eyes, I Hao Shaoqi was always a thief." ”

In fact, it was not only He Tengjiao who used Hao Shaoqi, but the Longwu Small Imperial Court also wanted to use Hao Shaoqi, but he only dispelled this idea after hearing that Hao Shaoqi had been secretly communicating with Empress Gao and the Loyal Battalion in Jingzhou, after all, in their eyes, Hao Shaoqi has always been a thief, and it is precisely because of this that Hao Shaoqi will be more inclined to the Loyal Battalion and the High Empress of Fengtian.

Hao Shaoqi was originally a standard-bearer in the Dashun Army, and the name of "Shaking the Flag" was because of this experience as a standard-bearer, Li Zicheng and Empress Gao had the grace of knowing him, but someone immediately raised an objection: "Wang Zongzhen also said that if we go to Jingzhou, he will be unwelcome!" If we go to Jingzhou Mansion, Mr. Wang will definitely poison us on the way! ”

Although Hao Shaoqi was born as a thief, he has never been confused on the issue of right and wrong, he retorted at the first time: "Wang Zongzhen is Wang Zongzhen, my Hao Shaoqi is Hao Shaoqi, he is unwilling to go to Jingzhou, we can't put a knife on his neck, but we have always changed the Dashun army to the Ming flag, His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress asked me to go to Jingzhou to fight to the death with the Western Thief, how can I not go, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life if I miss this battle!" ”

Although Hao Shaoqi and Wang Jincai also participated in the great division of the Dashun Army on the East Road, he still regarded Li Zicheng as the old master in his heart, and also knew that after the Chengtian Dynasty took Jiangxi and Fujian, it was already soaring, and after joining forces with the remnants of the Dashun Army, the world was almost unable to find an opponent, and if he did not go to Jingzhou in this situation, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life: "I have heard that Emperor Chengtian really wants to integrate the loyalty camp to achieve a career, rather than using us as cannon fodder. What's more, the emperor himself invited us over with an edict! ”

When it comes to the Chengtian Dynasty, everyone thinks that Hao Shaoqi is right, although now He Tengjiao and the Hunan Ming Army are under the banner of the Longwu Dynasty, but everyone understands that the Longwu Dynasty is running out, and the Chengtian Dynasty is the only correct choice.

If the Longwu Dynasty could still maintain an equal situation with the Chengtian Dynasty on the surface before, then now after the Chengtian Dynasty won Fujian and Jiangxi one after another, everyone knows that although the Longwu Dynasty is not a grass platform team, it is already a yellow flower of tomorrow, and He Tengjiao refused to enter the Longwu Dynasty although he still carried the banner of the Longwu Dynasty.

In this situation, these generals, including Hao Shaoqi, have completely despaired of the Longwu Dynasty, but the Chengtian Dynasty is just the opposite, now it is the rising sun in the east, not only to take the entire southeast, but also after this westward expedition, Huguang and even the entire south will be owned by the Chengtian Dynasty.

Moreover, the rise of the Chengtian Dynasty is not the work of greedy for heaven, but the real sword and real gun and the country killed by the captive.

For Hao Shaoqi, the remnants of the Dashun Army who have been repeatedly hit by the Qing army, they are particularly close emotionally to the Chengtian Dynasty, which has repeatedly broken the Qing army, and one of the generals next to Hao Shaoqi said: "This time we will go to Jingzhou not only to fight with Xiying, but also to meet Jianlu with swords and guns, I can't wait to fight with Jianyu for 300 rounds now!" ”

When it came to Jianyu, Hao Shaoqi's subordinates were excited, although they were all defeated by the Qing army and repeatedly defeated, but this Dashun army still had a strong will to fight, and more importantly, they were not the opponents of the Qing army in the past, but now they can fight with the Yue Ming army that has repeatedly broken the elite of the Qing army, not to mention one Azig, even ten Azig can deal with it.

Although the founding battle of the Chengtian Dynasty was missed, it was the most critical battle for the Chengtian Dynasty at the moment, if the Chengtian Dynasty could block Zhang Xianzhong from leaving Sichuan and defeat the Azig Southern Expedition in this battle, then the entire south would belong to Liu Yongxi.

But whether Zhang Xianzhong or Azig is not an easy enemy to deal with, in this situation, Hao Shaoqi's tens of thousands of soldiers are likely to become the key factor in determining the final victory, as long as Hao Shaoqi now leads his troops north to Jingzhou, his status should not be lower than that of the loyal battalion and the loyal brigade.

Moreover, people have noticed that the Dashun Army in Jingzhou was reorganized into a loyal battalion and led by Empress Gao of Fengtian, while the old department of Baiwang in Jiangxi was reorganized into a loyal brigade and commanded by Mrs. Xing, if this is also a convention, then Hao Shaoqi's department can also maintain its independence after going north to Jingzhou, rather than being led by Empress Gao and the old men of the Dashun army, such as Gao Yigong, Li Guo, and Tian Jianxiu.

But after someone said such an idea, Hao Shaoqi laughed: "When I see His Majesty the Emperor, I will definitely ask him to form an army of his own, but the team will definitely be under the command of the Empress Niangniang, but whether it will be under the command of Empress Gao or Xing Niangniang, we will talk about it then!" ”

Hao Shaoqi This is an old opinion, after all, it is now the Chengtian Dynasty, and it is impossible for the remnants of the Dashun Army to act in unison like in the past, not only the Chengtian Emperor Liu Yongxi does not want to see such a situation, but even the Fengtian High Empress does not want to see such a situation.

The remnants of the Dashun Army continue to maintain the three independent systems of the Loyal Battalion, the Loyal Brigade and Hao Shaoqi's department, which is believed to be the outcome that most people are willing to see, but since Hao Shaoqi's department has a history of being a thief, it naturally needs someone to help protect from the wind and rain in the court, so Hao Shaoqi proposed to "belong to the queen's mother" to lead.

And after Hao Shaoqi proposed such a plan, the generals of Hao Ying naturally became more and more excited the more they talked, but at the end someone raised the most sensitive question: "Since we are going to Jingzhou, what should the Tang King do?" Do you want to tie it up and send it to Jingzhou? ”

When it comes to the Tang Dynasty, everyone feels a little embarrassed, after all, at the beginning, Hao Shaoqi's subordinates pinned their hopes on Emperor Longwu, so they were particularly respectful to Emperor Longwu, but everyone soon found that although the Longwu Imperial Court was not a grass platform team, it had a lot of rules and tricks, and it was actually not as good as a grass platform team.

The more in-depth the cooperation between the two sides, the more difficult it was to carry out the cooperation in depth, and the Tang King soon discovered that Hao Shaoqi had a secret communication with Empress Gao and the Loyal Battalion, and Hao Shaoqi also found that the Tang King was only trying to achieve his political goals by sacrificing Hao Shaoqi's subordinates.

And although Tang Wang has expectations for Hao Shaoqi, many people around Tang Wang feel that it is Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's fault that the world is getting to this point today, and even hate Hao Shaoqi, Hao Shaoqi doesn't know how many cold words he has suffered, and some people even scolded Hao Shaoqi in person.

In this situation, the cooperation between the two sides naturally could not be carried out, but because the Chengtian Dynasty took the whole province of Jiangxi and He Tengjiao refused to enter the Tang Dynasty, the Tang King is still in Hao Shaoqi's army, and now many soldiers in Hao Shaoqi's army feel that this is a strange commodity to live in.

But Hao Shaoqi thought about it for a while, and felt that it was not suitable to completely tear his face with King Tang: "After all, we have a monarch and ministers, and His Royal Highness King Tang has not treated me badly, we must pay attention to a good beginning and a good end, we don't need His Royal Highness King Tang on this northern expedition, please let His Royal Highness King Tang go south to Liangguang as soon as possible!" ”

Hearing Hao Shaoqi say this, some people were already anxious: "Kidnapping the Tang King is a miracle, His Majesty the Emperor will have a heavy reward!" ”

Hao Shaoqi immediately laughed: "It's not a miracle to tie up the Tang King and send him to Jingzhou, this is embarrassing Your Majesty!" The miracle that His Majesty wants is that we cut down the Tang King directly without doing anything, and then a thief attacked and disturbed the Tang King and was accidentally killed, but we are thieves! ”

Speaking of which, everyone laughed, although the topic of "thieves" has always been very sensitive in Hao Shaoqi's camp, everyone now understands what Hao Shaoqi means.

It is said that Wang Puxiang, a general of the Yue Ming Army, was promoted several levels because he solved the Fu Wang, but Hao Shaoqi's department was born as a thief, and now since he wants to "change his mind" and become a Ming official army, he naturally cannot have anything to do with "killing the king" and "killing the lord", but pays attention to "loyalty" and "loyalty" on all occasions.

After all, the remnants of the two Dashun armies in Jingzhou and Jiangxi have been successively reorganized into "Loyal Battalion" and "Loyal Brigade", which is obviously to entrust His Majesty the Chengtian Emperor and the Chengtian Imperial Court with all the expectations of the two Dashun armies, the key is the word "loyalty", Hao Shaoqi decided to go to Jingzhou as soon as possible to meet with the Chengtian Emperor and the Fengtian Empress, which is also for this most rare "loyalty" word.

And all the generals in Hao Shaoqi's army felt that Hao Shaoqi was reasonable: "That's right, since we are now a Ming official army, we must pay attention to loyalty, loyalty, and loyalty, and we can't be honest, so we must ensure that His Royal Highness the King of Tang is foolproof, and there can be no accidents in our hands!" ”

Hao Shaoqi laughed: "It's enough for everyone to understand this, as long as we pass this mountain, our good days will come back!" ”

For the Ming army of He Tengjiao's division in Hunan, Hao Shaoqi's troops suddenly went north to Jingzhou to join the loyal battalion, which brought them a huge impact.

Although He Tengjiao sent his own cronies to raid Wuchang, but since the two armies of Hao Shaoqi and Wang Jincai did not move, He Tengjiao could only send a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, in fact, these rabble were not even the opponents of Hubei township soldiers and volunteers, not to mention that behind these township soldiers and volunteers, there was also the full support of the forward horse team of the Yue Ming army and the loyal battalion.

Therefore, He Tengjiao's plan to raid Wuchang can be described as a complete failure, but this is also in line with everyone's consistent impression of He Tengjiao's use of troops, after all, this Governor He has always just liked to cause chaos.

But when these remnants of the defeated army had just retreated to Yueyang, Hao Shaoqi's army had already been killed.
