Chapter 103: Labor Army

Zhang Xuan was overjoyed when he learned that Gao Yigong had come to visit him.

Gao Yigong's surrender not only allowed Daxia to have tens of thousands of elite soldiers out of thin air, but also made the strategic form of the Xia army in Hunan greatly changed.

Between Changsha and Wuchang, there is a large area of the field, and Changsha is no longer alone. Even in the face of the Ming army in Guizhou and Sichuan, it can be offensive and defensive.

Therefore, Zhang Xuan gave Gao Yigong a very high courtesy.

First of all, on the Xiangjiang River, Gao Yigong took a big ship, and this big ship was Zhou Fuchen's ship, and Zhou Fuchen also came to greet him in person. Dozens of warships on both sides escorted it, and it seemed that the entire Xiangjiang River would be stuffed. Although the Xiangjiang River is wide, it does not take long to cross the Xiangjiang River.

Waited for the dock outside the head of Changsha City. First I heard the sound of cannonballs.

Zhang Xuan didn't know where this salute began. But Zhang Xuan thought it was useful, so he took it and used it, at least in the military salute formulated by Zhang Xuan, the salute was also one of them, but Gao Yigong didn't know much about it.

Hearing the rumbling of the cannon, his body tightened suddenly, and Zhou Fuchen, who was beside him, explained, and then let go of his thoughts.

When I arrived at the dock, I saw that the armor on both sides was distinct, and the flags were flying. These people were Zhang Xuan's personal soldiers, and thousands of personal soldiers surrounded the dock. The atmosphere was solemn and serious.

And Zhang Xuan also arrived.

Zhang Xuan was surrounded by a large group of cavalry, and had been waiting on the dock for a long time. Seeing Gao Yigong turn over and dismount, he laughed and said, "Why is it too late for Brother Gao?" ”

Gao Yigong was a little flattered, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted and said: "The young general doesn't know the general Tianwei, and it's too late to regret it, so please forgive the general." ”

Zhang Xuan hurriedly helped Gao Yigong up and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, the brothers are here, and they will laugh and enmity when they meet." Chuang Ying and Cao Ying are originally from the same origin, Chuang Wang is also my elder, the grievances and grievances between King Chuang and Jia Yue back then are not something that juniors can discuss. And today, the situation is clear, Brother Gao came to vote for me, I am willing to join hands with Brother Gao to sweep the world and create a peaceful and prosperous era for Great Xia. ”

Although Gao Yigong didn't think that Li Zicheng's death was just a catastrophe, but now, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, and it makes no sense to entangle Li Zicheng's death. said: "The young general dares to disobey his fate." ”

Zhang Xuan waved his hand and asked people to give Gao Yigong a horse. Zhang Xuan asked Gao Yigong to go with him, but Gao Yigong was very knowledgeable and lagged the horse behind by a horse's head. But even so, Cao Zongyu, Xu Du, Yao Qisheng and other staff members all fell behind Gao Yigong.

It can be said that Zhang Xuan gave Gao Yigong the highest courtesy.

Gao Yigong was moved, and seemed to forget Mrs. Gao's plan for a while.

Zhang Xuan arranged Gao Yigong's reception banquet in the Ma Mansion, which was the original Ma Shiying's mansion.

The city of Changsha was broken, and Ma Shiying was missing.

Some people say that Ma Shiying died in the chaos, and some people Ma Shiying fled, anyway, there is no specific statement, and everything is used. However, in the melee, the chaos is extreme, and it is very easy to hide people without being found.

It is not easy to escape from Changsha City.

Therefore, Zhang Xuan felt that Ma Shiying was likely to die in the chaos.

In any case, Ma Shiying's mansion is second only to the imperial palace in Changsha City.

The palace was burned to the ground by Longwu, but even if the Changsha Palace was not burned to the ground, Zhang Xuan would not live in the palace, even though this is just a palace transformed from an ordinary mansion, which is not much different from an ordinary mansion, but after all, it carries the name of the palace.

The official achieves Zhang Xuan's position, and he doesn't need to be reminded by others, and he himself knows that there are some things to avoid.

Therefore, this horse house is Zhang Xuan's temporary foothold, and it is also the political center of the entire Changsha.

Zhang Xuan led Gao Yigong into the house, and immediately held a feast to wash the dust for Gao Yigong. For a while, the staggered staggered.

Gao Yigong and many people under Zhang Xuan's command are not meeting for the first time, and the two sides are reminiscing, but they are also harmonious, and there is no conflict.

Although Gao Yigong drank a lot of wine, he knew that he had something serious today, and he was just a superficial taste, waiting for the main event to begin.

Sure enough, the banquet had passed, and Zhang Xuan left a few important generals and strategists to discuss with Gao Yigong.

Zhang Xuan said: "I have already asked for the title of General Zhengxi for my senior brother, and ordered the old department to open the town with Changde as the center. As for the specific preparation, the people below will talk about it again, but I don't know what the senior brother thinks? ”

Gao Yigong has no opinion on this, and the conditions given by Zhang Xuan are generous enough.

Almost a high merit is also a feudal town. Like Gao Jie.

However, after all, Gao Yigong is not as good as Gao Jie, not as strong as Gao Jie, and not as good as Gao Jie's financial resources, Huaidong is a famous salt-producing area, and most of the salt in the jurisdiction of Great Xia has to come from Huaidong, even though the Great Xia court also occupies a lot of salt fields, but the salt fields under Gao Jie's command are enough for him to feed tens of thousands of troops.

But Gao Yigong can't do it.

Changde Mansion is close to Dongting Lake, which is a good place, but it has been repeatedly scraped and has bottomed out, at least for a period of time, it cannot support tens of thousands of troops, so for a period of time, Gao Yigong must be paid by the Great Xia court.

Although the Great Xia court is financially difficult, this is only temporary, it can be said that the ability of the Great Xia court to return blood is still above the Qing court, and the current financial capacity of the Qing court is still supported by the 60 million taels of silver taken from Li Zicheng. After all this silver was spent, it was the time when the financial strength of Great Xia surpassed that of the Qing court.

As long as you grasp the logistics of Gao Yigong, it is impossible for Gao Yigong to blow up his hair.

After Gao Yigong listened, he said: "Thank you general, there is just one thing, but the last general doesn't know how to speak?" ”

"Oh?" Zhang Xuan said: "What's the matter? ”

Gao Yigong said: "I came to see the general, the lieutenant generals and colonels are suspicious, they feel that they have been enemies with the general for more than half a year, plus they are all the descendants of the king, and the king of the king is after he went to Wuchang, there is no talent, they are worried about ----."

Zhang Xuan frowned and didn't know what to say for a while.

Gao Yigong hurriedly said: "The last general has no objection to joining the Xia Army, but the people below are much more frightened and have some doubts in their hearts. There is nothing that can be done by subordinates? ”

Xu Du said: "This is not easy to do? The last general asked for orders, took the men and horses of the headquarters, and assaulted the battalion of the loyal battalion, with the response of General Gao, and wanted to capture the loyal battalion is a matter of being captured. ”

Gao Yigong listened to Xu Du's words, and his face suddenly changed.

I don't want to have this result. The 30,000 soldiers under his command are his capital, if he doesn't have it. The treatment that Xia Jun received was completely different from the previous decision.

It was precisely because he understood this that he absolutely could not accept this plan.

Zhang Xuan naturally understood this and said, "What did General Xu say?" How could I do such a cannibalistic thing and make the world laugh? Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment, then turned around and said, "Mr. Yao, how much silver is still in the army." ”

"Fifty thousand taels." Yao Qisheng said: "This is still transported back from all over the country, and the Changsha treasury has long been emptied, and there is not even a single mouse." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "With these 50,000 taels of silver, how about sending another general to the labor army?" ”

Gao Yigong said: "The general's plan is very good, but who is the general going to send to the labor army?" ”

Zhang Xuan's heart moved, the first thing he thought of was Yuan Zongdi, after all, Yuan Zongdi still had some prestige in the camp. But think about it, Yuan Zongdi has actually been there once. Thinking of Cao Zongyu again, after all, Cao Zongyu is Zhang Xuan's right and left hand, and when he broke into Cao's joint venture, he had a little status. Many people in the Gao Yigong army knew him.

However, Gao Yigong had just fought a battle with Cao Zongyu, and the blood had not dried up yet, so it was a little appropriate to send Cao Zongyu there.

Zhang Xuan thought about it and felt that when he was quick to cut through the mess, he couldn't waste time in the high school camp. He has already received the news that Yin Xi has returned to Changde, and if it drags on for a long time, it will not be easy to do.

Zhang Xuan said, "I'll go." ”
