Lu Zhenfei couldn't help frowning when he heard the word "Gao Jie".

Zhu Cihong on the side was calm, as if nothing had happened.

"Your Highness, this Gao Jie has been defeated all the way to Huai'an, and the minister will not let him enter the city no matter what. A few days ago, Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, also fled to Huai'an, wanted to enter the city, was reprimanded by the minister, and made a detour to Yangzhou Mansion. ”

Lu Zhenfei thought for a moment, and then arched his hand at Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "The matter of this Huai'an Mansion should naturally be decided by Haoyue Gong. ”

Lu Zhenfei immediately understood that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't want to mix in this pool of muddy water.

"The minister understands, so send them away."

Lu Zhenfei said happily.

"Wait!"

Zhu Cihong waved his hand.

Lu Zhenfei was slightly stunned, and said in amazement: "Your Highness? ”

"Where does Haoyue Gong plan to let General Gao be stationed there?"

"It's... As long as it is not within the jurisdiction of Huai'an Prefecture, he can go anywhere. Fengyang Mansion, Luzhou Mansion, Yangzhou Mansion ......"

Lu Zhenfei's confidence is obviously not very strong, and when he talks about it, his voice is already faint.

Zhu Cihong sighed in his heart and said with emotion: "The troops led by General Gao are all routs, and it is difficult to maintain military discipline no matter where they go. The world says, 'A thief is like a comb, and a soldier is like a grate', but I really don't want to see this kind of thing happen. ”

"Your Highness is benevolent, and the minister is ashamed."

Lu Zhenfei's face immediately turned red. Compared with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he is indeed too petty.

Hearing what Zhu Cihong said, Lu Zhenfei understood that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said before that he should make full decisions was just a scene, but in fact, he already had a plan in his heart.

Lu Zhenfei didn't dare to think about Donggong's mind anymore, so he simply opened the skylight and said something bright.

"I wonder if His Highness has a perfect plan?"

Zhu Cihong smiled slightly: "I don't dare to say that there is a perfect plan, but I can ensure that the people of Huai'an can live in peace." ”

He paused slightly, and his lips moved: "Let the Gao General Army Department be stationed outside Huai'an City, and the military salary will follow the rules of the guest army." ”

"Your Highness!"

Hearing this, Lu Zhenfei said with a worried face: "Gao Jie's army is a defeated army, how can you follow the example of the guest army?" ”

He said in his heart that if he really followed the example of the guest army, Gao Jie's tens of thousands of horses had to be supplied by Huai'an Mansion, and it would cost a lot of money for people to eat horses and chew for a day, and it would be easy to say that if it was a long time, he would not be able to stand it. ”

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and pressed down, signaling Lu Zhenfei not to get excited.

"Gu dared to promise Haoyue Gong that in as little as ten days, at most half a month, the Gao General Military Department could be transferred out of Huai'an Mansion."

Lu Zhenfei's throat shook slightly, and he hesitated for a long time before sighing: "The minister obeys His Highness's order." ”

Zhu Cihong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If Lu Zhenfei refuses to obey, he, the crown prince, will have no way.

In fact, he asked Lu Zhenfei to restrain Gao Jie's troops in Huai'an Mansion, not simply because he was afraid that Gao Jie's troops would loot the people.

In history, among the four towns in the north of the Nanming River, Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing were both defeated generals who fled from the wind, Huang Degong was originally stationed in Luzhou, Liu Liangzuoben was stationed in Zhengyang, Henan, and was invited by Ma Shiying to enter Nanzhili. Among the four towns, Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing belong to the type of lost dogs. If they hadn't seen the wind and made the rudder support Zhu Yousong, the king of Fu, it would have been impossible to be crowned a bo.

Liu Zeqing has already gone to Yangzhou, and Gao Jie has no place to station, at this time, if Zhu Cihong can give him a little favor to stay in Huai'an, Gao Jie will be somewhat grateful.

Zhu Cihong is not afraid that Gao Jie will become a separatist warlord by virtue of his support.

After all, he is the crown prince of the main palace and the best candidate to inherit the throne.

The reason why the four towns can take advantage of Lihongguang to fly Huang Tengda is because Zhu Yousong does not have an absolute advantage over the rest of the vassal kings, and King Lu and King Gui have opportunities. As long as Zhu Cihong sits in Nanjing, he will definitely inherit the throne. If anyone dares to raise objections, it is really a rebellion.

Therefore, Gao Jie's support for Zhu Cihong to inherit the imperial throne is just the icing on the cake, and Zhu Cihong has no need to worry that he will become a unique town like in history.

To be honest, Zhu Cihong really fell in love with Gao Jie's army. Although this army is a rout, it still has a certain combat effectiveness because it often fights with thieves.

In addition, Gao Jie himself is a fierce general, and if he can be subdued, it will indeed be a big help.

If you hold Gao Jie in your hands early, it will also cut off the thoughts of other vassal kings. After all, there are several vassal kings who temporarily live in Huai'an Mansion, including Zhu Yousong, the blessed king.

Zhu Cihong not only occupies the Taoist system, but also has strength, and strength is the king in troubled times.

Gao Jie's own experience is legendary. He is a native of Mizhi County, Shaanxi, and Li Zicheng is a fellow countryman. After Li Zicheng followed Gao Yingxiang to rebel, he also responded.

Because of his bravery, Gao Jie won the trust of Li Zicheng and once achieved the position of a pioneer general.

But Gao Jie is not a fuel-efficient lamp. At that time, Li Zicheng's concubine Xing was responsible for the distribution of materials in the old camp, involving all kinds of military rations and weapons. Gao Jie would go to Xing's to receive supplies regularly, and after a long time, Gao Jie and Xing's eyes were right and they fornicated. They were worried that the matter would be exposed and Li Zicheng would be liquidated, so they simply did nothing and joined the official army.

Hong Chengchou waved his hand and assigned Gao Jie's department to He Renlong, and Gao Jie also fully embodied the spirit of being a single, following He Renlong to strangle the thieves, and soon he was promoted.

Because he brought Li Zicheng a green hat, it is impossible for him to return to Li Zicheng no matter what. As for the clearance, there is naturally not much possibility. Although Gao Jie is a bit tyrannical, he still has basic national integrity. Hauge once tempted him to surrender, claiming that 'the great is the king, the little is the waiting, and the king of the world's kings.' Gao Jie simply ignored it. It can be said that Gao Jie is firmly tied to the big ship of Daming.

In the original history, Gao Jie even led troops to the north, if he was not booby-trapped by Xu Dingguo in Suizhou, the Southern Ming and Northern Expedition were destroyed, and the entire Southern Ming situation might be different.

Among the four towns, the strongest troops are Huang Degong and Gao Jiebu, and coincidentally they are also the most loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Gao Jie died in the Suizhou Revolution, and Huang Degong fought until the last moment when the Qing army marched south, and was killed by his generals. As for Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing and others, they were not only tyrannical, but also disloyal and unjust, and the Qing soldiers immediately surrendered after they went south, and they refused to even resist and make a show.

Now that the four towns have not yet been established, Zhu Cihong naturally has to lay out early. In his opinion, loyal and upright ministers like Lu Zhenfei and Qin Gongming naturally have to rely on it, and people like Huang Degong and Gao Jie should also be used skillfully.

If these fierce generals can be used in the right place, Yu Daming will also be a big help.

Zhu Cihong never wanted to see the scene of the Qing army going south and massacring the city in the original history, so he wanted to make good use of every force he could.

......

......

ps: Although Gao Jie is a rogue style, he still has national righteousness, at least he dares to go north to attack the Qing Dynasty, and he and Huang Degong can be classified as the same level in the four towns, which is much better than Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo.
