Chapter 568: Kong Wenshi
is also a Ming army, Zu Dashou did not openly rebel, and it is not enough to persuade them to surrender.
These dozen or so veterans of the Guanning Army are just telling about how many acres of tuntian they have now married their daughters-in-law, and how promising they will be in the future.
That's all, the effect has exceeded expectations, more Ming troops secretly ran through the defense line to defect to Ningyuan, and even the ancestral army had some hearts fluctuating.
In the long run, there was no need to fight, Zu Dashou would lose men and horses every day, the number of auxiliaries and miscellaneous servants of the "Red Banner Army" would increase tomorrow, and a small number of skilled former Guanning troops would be absorbed as reserve soldiers.
Zu Dashou often got the news that his subordinates had defected to Ningyuan, and he had to send a team to focus on prevention and control.
Aggrieved! Zu Dashou was so angry that he was played by the "Red Flag Army" many times, and Gao Qiqian wrote many complaints like a stone sinking into the sea.
Because the messengers they sent had to pass through the Liaoxi Corridor, where they were normally allowed to enter and exit, the messengers were now detained to work as coolies in the mines.
Entering the seventh year of Chongzhen, Zu Dashou's life has become more and more difficult, because it has been almost half a year, and the Jinzhou side has not seen a tael of silver or a grain of millet in the salary, but fortunately, last year's Tuntian was not intercepted by the Houjin army, and tens of thousands of horses and horses did not starve to death.
After receiving Gao Hongzhong's letter of persuasion again, Zu Dashou sighed for a long time, and now Gao Qiqian also recognized the situation, knowing that he had figured out the wrong holy will, and he should not earn benefits for Zu Dashou everywhere, but should monitor and curb the ancestral army.
It's too late to figure it out now, and it's obvious that the emperor will never trust himself again, and now he can only choose to follow Zu Dashou.
Gao Qiqian had long found out that Zu Dashou had a connection with Jiannu, and he came and went frequently, Zu Dashou did not deliberately hide anything, and he had the spirit of a scoundrel who broke the jar and broke it.
Zu Dashou, who was borrowing wine to drown his sorrows, found that Gao Qiqian, a eunuch, was here again, so he simply threw Gao Hongzhong's letter of persuasion to him, and roared: "Lao Tzu's people have not seen food and salary for half a year, is the court preparing to force Lao Tzu to sacrifice Jinzhou to Dajin Kingdom?"
Don't think that Lao Tzu can't do such a thing, if you don't see food for another month, Lao Tzu will surrender immediately. β
Gao Qiqian didn't care whether Zu Dashou surrendered or not, and he didn't have the ability to interfere with Zu Dashou's choice, he was just angry that he was being played by others as a monkey, and it was obvious that Huang Han, the Marquis of Dongping, was playing with Zu Dashou and himself.
He said sharply: "Zu Taibao, in order to survive, you can't do too much, our family is advancing and retreating with the ancestral family anyway." We won't be bad after we vote, it doesn't matter, it's just that we have come to this point, all thanks to the Marquis of Dongping, and our family wants to retaliate! β
Zu Dashou, who had already entered the rage mode, was simply ignited when he heard the three words of Dongping Hou, he kicked over the table, pulled out his waist knife and slashed wildly, scolding while chopping.
Seeing that Zu Dashou is this virtue, Gao Qi sighed in his heart, no wonder this guy can't play Dongping Hou, and his IQ is worse than the level!
He said: "Even if we are forced to surrender Houjin, we have to play the ins and outs of this period of time to the imperial court and inform the Manchu civil and military, because the Marquis of Dongping has cornered us, which will lead to our surrender." β
Zu Dashou laughed, even laughed with tears, he said: "Father-in-law Gao is too naΓ―ve, the 'Red Flag Army' is still killing enemies for the country, and we have become traitors, is there anyone who believes this?" It's just a shame on yourself! β
"The three of them became tigers, I don't believe it now, when the emperor wants to deal with Dongping Hou, he will take it out to make a fuss, then Dongping Hou is so strong, he will inevitably become a thorn in the eyes of the court in the future, and his ending may not be better than ours."
The eunuch was really vicious, it turned out that he was leaving a foreshadowing and preparing to harm people.
Gao Qiqian is a eunuch in the palace after all, how can he not understand the truth that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, if Zu Dashou surrenders to Jiannu, it must be directly related to Huang Han, and the ministers who use their brains a little can figure it out.
When the court unloads the mill and kills the donkey, I am afraid that the time for Huang Han's death has arrived, and this criminal evidence is enough to rob the family and kill the head.
It is impossible for any monarch to tolerate the strong and the weak to the master, and he will do it if he wants to kill the hero, and he will not be merciful if he holds the handle of conclusive evidence.
The ancestor of the history of the Ming Dynasty played to death, and now he has been retributed, and he has been played by Huang Han with nothing to do, so he can only drink and smash things at home to vent his anger, and if this continues, this old traitor will become a psychopath.
Huang Han doesn't mind Zu Dashou's surrender, he always has to come, forcing Zu Dashou to rebel seven or eight years early is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, at least these years will save no less than millions of Liao.
The highest civil official stationed in Ningyuan is Zheng Wupin Ningqian Bingdao Kong Wenshi, this scholar is not bad in nature, but he is a bit rigid in doing things, and it is a perfect match to meet Huang Yizhou, who also behaves in a proper manner.
When Kong Wenshi came to Ningyuan, he insisted on checking the salaries of the soldiers according to the actual number of soldiers, and Huang Yizhou took the initiative to accompany the soldiers to check without saying a word.
The efficiency of the Ningyuan garrison was very high, and it only took one day to complete the inspection, and there were more than 22,000 Ma Bujun, and all of them were young men or young men, which was completely consistent with the records in the military records.
Kong Wenshi has also been an official for many years, and he has never found an army full of men and horses, he doesn't believe that what he sees are serious 800 soldiers, and he questioned Huangyizhou.
Huang Yizhou didn't argue with his mouth, and directly asked Kong Wenshi to arbitrarily dispatch which general he thought was not a soldier to investigate, and proudly stated that if the regular soldiers on the register could not complete the subjects that they should master, they would be killed directly.
Although Kong Wenshi does not understand military affairs, he is not stupid, and there are dogmas such as how many arrows should be hit by an archer at a distance of fifty paces, what speed a bird shooter should shoot at a distance of eighty paces, and what physique a cavalry horse should reach.
He was thrilled after he randomly selected two general inspectors to watch the drill, and he finally knew that the "Red Flag Army" was not a waste of fame, and those young soldiers who looked immature should be second to none in the Ming Dynasty.
In the end, the fierce "Red Banner Army" infected Kong Wenshi, and Huang Yizhou and dozens of generals from the third rank and above ate and lived together with the grassroots soldiers to train together, so that he saw the hope of the Ming Dynasty.
As a result, Kong Wenshi continued to write official documents to urge Huang Yizhou to pay for him, and he played the imperial court many times, saying that Ning Yuan should be impregnable with this chief military officer stationed.
Huang Yizhou is not a conspirator, he got along with Kong Wenshi frankly, and it didn't take long to win the respect of this scholar.
Everyone knows that the Huang family is very rich, and after getting along, Kong Wenshi found that Huang Yizhou, who was in his forties, had no different food and clothing from ordinary generals, and practiced with grassroots soldiers in the barracks all day long.
Now Kong Wenshi has fallen in love with the neat and tidy Ning Yuancheng and wrote a lot of Rongbian poems, but he imitated Fan Zhongyan and painted some tigers and couldn't become anti-dogs.
He was also a little shameless in the face of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, because the imperial court repeatedly defaulted on food and salaries, and corruption drifted, making his military equipment a shame.
