Chapter 188: Overwhelming (First Update, Ask for Subscription, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )

After taking Wei Hui, Gao Jie did not stay long, but led the army to cross Qishui and enter the territory of Huaxian County.

Huaxian County is subordinate to the Daimyo Mansion, and the county commander Sun Yingjie learned that Gao Jie led the army to force Huaxian County and hanged himself directly and neatly in the yamen lobby.

There is no way to do this, there are only 200 treasury soldiers in Huaxian County, which is not enough to fill the gap between the teeth of the Ming army. Once the city is broken, Sun Yingjie will inevitably have the crime of losing his land, not only will he be beheaded for his crimes, but his family members will also be implicated and become the clothed servants of the banner people.

And if he is determined to die, the Qing court will not only not demote his family to slaves, but will reward him for his loyalty, and more or less give his family some silver.

In exchange for the happiness of the whole family with his own death, Sun Yingjie's choice is not too much of a loss.

After easily conquering Huaxian County, Gao Jie led his army to the north along the Wei River, Liankejun County, Huilong Town, and the soldiers came to the city of Daming.

Yao Yuanshan, the prefect of the daimyo, urgently asked the Qing court for assistance, and on the other hand, organized manpower to defend it.

The situation in Daimyofu City is much better than that of Huaxian, with more than 2,000 green battalion soldiers stationed.

Coupled with the temporarily recruited Xiangyong, Yao Yuanshan gathered 5,000 people, ready to resist stubbornly, and dragged to the imperial court to send troops to help.

Gao Jie once again sacrificed the tactic of gunpowder to blow up the city, and easily blew up the walls of the Daimyo's Mansion City.

It's just that this time it was not the vanguard army led by Li Chengdong who attacked and seized the gap, but was replaced by the green battalion army of Weihui Mansion that had just surrendered.

Commanding them was Daniel Zhang, the former deputy general of Weihui.

Daniel Zhang thought that after surrendering, Gao Jie would order them to continue to stay and guard Hui, who would have thought that Gao Jie would take him with him and kill all the way to Beizhili!

Hua County and Jun County fought all the way, and Daniel Zhang also understood that Gao Jie let them have no way to retreat, and followed the Ming army steadily.

After all, the capture of these cities had a share of Wei Hui's green battalion, even if they looked for an opportunity to escape and surrender to the Qing court, the Qing court would not let them go.

Since there was no way out, Daniel Zhang also simply put his mind down and fully cooperated with Gao Jie's actions.

He will hit whoever Gao Jie asks him to hit, and he will bite whoever Gao Jie asks him to bite.

And the Daimyo Mansion is a small test for Daniel Zhang.

The commander of the army of the Green Battalion of the Daimyo Mansion was a lieutenant general named Zheng Hu.

Although he is also a deputy general, he is too far behind Daniel Zhang, and there are only 2,000 people under his command, but Daniel Zhang is in command of a full 5,000 people.

When the city wall was blown open, Daniel Zhang did not hesitate to lead the Yuan Wei Hui Green Battalion to seize the gap.

Seeing this, Zheng Hu hurriedly raised troops to fight.

Both sides are third-rate green battalion troops, and their combat effectiveness is half a pound and eight taels. However, Daniel Zhang had a numerical advantage and gradually took the initiative, taking advantage of the laxity of the green camp army of the Daimyo Mansion to control the gap in one fell swoop.

Seeing this, Zheng Hu had no choice but to lead his army to retreat to the inner city and attempt to fight street battles.

At this time, Daniel Zhang opened his throat and began to persuade him to surrender, and even did not hesitate to use himself as an example to show that he also wanted to fight to the death at the beginning, but after surrendering, he found that it was much cooler to follow the Ming army than to follow the Qing army, and he did not need to be poked in the backbone and scolded the two tartars.

Everyone is raised by their fathers and mothers, why should they be willing to be slaves to the Tartars.

Then Zheng Hu was originally not firm-willed, and he was even more hesitant after listening to Daniel Zhang's words.

Daniel Zhang saw that his attitude had softened, so he continued to persuade him to surrender and drew a large cake for Zheng Hu to see.

In the end, Zheng Hu couldn't resist the temptation to lead his troops to surrender, and the Ming army captured the Daimyo's Mansion without much effort.

Yao Yuanshan, the prefect of the Daimyo Prefecture, was captured by the Green Battalion soldiers before he had time to hang himself, and he was twisted in front of Gao Jie.

An official of this level has no value in offering a prisoner, and Gao Jie ordered someone to behead him directly with a wave of his hand.

For the green battalion soldiers who surrendered to the Daimyo's Mansion, Gao Jie adopted the same strategy as Wei Hui's green battalion soldiers, that is, to drive the vanguard to continue to capture the city.

In this way, the general city Gaojie can rely on the green battalion soldiers to attack, and his descendant army will not be greatly damaged.

For the people of the Daimyo's Mansion, Gao Jie did not exploit it. After all, these people were forced to shave their hair, and to some extent they were also victims of the Qing court's harsh government.

Gao Jie just took the rice and grain from the treasury as military rations, and did not commit any offence to the people.

Leaving the Daimyo Mansion and continuing north is the Guangping Mansion, and the Ming army of the Gaojie Department in this generation has not been blocked too much.

After easily connecting Cheng'an and Feixiang, Gao Jie's soldiers pointed directly at Yongnian.

Dolgon, who was far away in Beijing, was shocked to learn the news.

The Ming army easily broke through the Weihui defense line and entered Beizhili, and no one could stop it all the way.

If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it won't be long before Gao Jie can hit Jingshi.

Although Duoduo's army is already on its way back to Beijing, it will take more than ten days, and if Gao Jie goes crazy during this period, it will be a serious blow to the prestige of the Qing court.

Dolgon could not sit idly by, and must send a strong army to stop Gaojie's advance.

It's just that most of the main forces of the Qing army are not in Beizhili, and the only elite is the emperor's Zhenghuang Banner and Yellow Banner.

They shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the Jingshi, and they cannot be easily mobilized unless they have to.

And even if they are mobilized to stop Gao Jie, who will be the commander?

Dolgon himself must not be able to do so, he must be in charge of the capital. The two brothers of the same mother, Azig and Dodor, both led the army. Zilharang and Daishan are both old, and the only choice seems to be Hauge.

And for Hauge to regain military power is something that Dolgon is extremely unwilling to see.

The more Dolgon thought about it, the more he felt a headache, and in desperation, he had to find Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou to ask for advice.

The two of them are now Dolgon's right-hand men, and Dolgon's first thought of them is when he has any problems.

Now that Dolgon has moved out of the Forbidden City, it is Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng who are summoned in Prince Rui's mansion.

The two hurried to the palace, saluted Dolgon, and stood respectfully beside him.

Dolgon didn't have the heart to greet them, and said directly: "This king came to the two gentlemen to ask who should lead the troops to stop the Ming army. ”

Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou looked at each other and were silent.

They all knew very well that the most suitable candidate to lead the troops now was Hauge. Haoge is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, and he has great prestige in the two yellow flags, plus he is brave in battle, and his military exploits can be described as a famous general in the world.

But Hauge is Dolgon's political enemy, and the two almost set fire for the throne, although they finally reconciled, but the knots in their hearts could not be solved.

At such times, Dorgon would never give up his military power to Haug.

Since Hauge can't do it, then he can only settle for the next best thing.

"The minions recommended Dorobelle Lekhundhun to lead the troops against the enemy."

Fan Wencheng cleared his throat and said loudly.
