Gao Yigong and Li Guo heard about Liu Zongmin, and hurriedly came to the Huawen Hall to meet Gao Junshan.

Gao Yigong said: "King Qin, I didn't expect Liu Zongmin to be so rebellious, please order King Qin, I will lead someone to catch him back!" ”

Li Guo also said: "King Qin, you give an order, I will go to Xi'an with Yigong, and I will definitely bring Liu Zongmin back." ”

Gao Junshan thought to himself, these two were originally Li Zicheng's people, and now they want to go to Xi'an, in case they are in the same stream as Liu Zongmin, the consequences will be ......, he didn't think about it anymore, and stared at the two of them with dead eyes.

"King Qin, give an order!" Gao Yigong didn't know what Gao Junshan was thinking.

Gao Junshan rolled his eyes and said, "Pursuing Liu Zongmin won't bother the two, I have already transferred Cao Wenzhao to pursue Liu Zongmin." If the two of you really want to fight, Lone needs the help of the two of you. ”

Gao Yigong said: "Please give an order from the King of Qin, I am willing to go to the soup for the King of Qin." ”

Gao Junshan asked, "How many men do you still have?" ”

Gao Yigong said: "I still have more than 7,000 people. ”

Li said: "I still have more than 20,000 people. ”

Gao Junshan said: "The Tartars have already surrendered, as long as we have fought through the Shanhai Pass and eliminated Wu Sangui, Dolgon will withdraw from Shenyang and return to the north bank of the Hunhe River." The march of the lone army will not stop, we want to cross the Yalu River and recover Korea, a success, are you willing to lead the troops there? ”

Gao Yigong arched his hand and said: "Obey the generals of King Qin!" ”

Gao Junshan said to Li again: "Brother Bu, after Zhu Youzhen's death, Zhu Youxiang of Jinling is still lingering, and after Gu settles the north, he will go south in a big way and destroy this small court." Now that you have no time to take care of the south, you can go to Wuchang and strengthen the defense of that area. ”

"Obey!"

Gao Junshan continued: "Lone appointed you as the chief soldier of the Wuchang Xingwu Battalion, you have to ensure the safety of Lone's rear!" ”

The Xingwu Battalion, like the Lianwu Battalion and the Zhenwu Battalion, is a second-level military organization, and the title of the general soldier of the Xingwu Battalion is equivalent to the local security commander.

Ma Jinzhong concurrently served as the chief soldier of the Lianwu Battalion, and Hui Dengxiang concurrently served as the chief soldier of the Zhenwu Battalion, which shows that this general soldier of the Xingwu Battalion is not a vain position.

Li Guo and Gao Yigong happily accepted the order and withdrew from the Wenhua Palace.

……

On May 15, under the support of Zhang Shenyan, Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang, Li Zhan, Guo Weijing, Liu Kongzhao, and Han Zanzhou, the remnants of the Ming court, the Fu King Zhu Yousong proclaimed himself emperor in Jinling, with the year name Hongguang. Zhu Youxiang took "revenge for thieves" as his purpose, and ordered Shi Kefa to be stationed in Yangzhou as a supervisor, confront Gao Junshan, and use Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, Zuo Liangyu, Huang Degong, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing and other civil and military forces.

Gao Junshan received information from the Gong Wei Division on the 16th. Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang are Liu Lishun's undercover agents in Jinling, and Gao Junshan is in control of all Zhu Youxiang's activities at any time.

……

Good news came from Shanhaiguan, the Second Army annihilated Wu Sangui and Gao's 50,000 allied troops, captured more than 20,000 Wu Sangui and Guanning troops, and Gao Di was killed by artillery fire.

Gao Junshan ordered Wu Sangui to be detained with the traitors Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou, Zu Dashou, Sun Degong, and Kong Youde, and to be dealt with together after Dolgon sent the traitors from Shenyang.

On the 18th, Gao Junshan was having dinner in the study of the Chuanxin Palace, and Sun Kewang reported that a foreigner asked to see him.

"Foreigners?" Gao Junshan asked curiously, "Did he say what it was called?" ”

"No, I just said I wanted to see King Qin."

"Is he alone?"

"Just one person."

"Please let him in, I'm lonely enough to see who this thing is."

Sun Kewang didn't go out for a long time, so he brought a foreigner. Gao Junshan looked up and saw that it was a little old man with blond hair and blue eyes, he had a hooked nose, a slightly chubby body, a square face and big ears, and a thick golden beard on the cheeks.

Gao Junshan got up and politely got up to give up his seat, this little foreign old man knew Chinese etiquette very well, he bowed his hand to the king of Qin and said, "Tang Ruowang greets the king!" ”

"John Tang?" Gao Junshan is familiar with John Tang, and now that someone reports his home, he still has to ask clearly, "Where does Mr. come from?" ”

Gao Junshan's last sentence was asked in English.

John Tong was surprised that a Chinese emperor could speak English, and although he was a German, he was fluent in nine languages in Germany, Belgium, Italy, Portugal, England and Slovenia.

He replied in English: "I am from the Academy of Rome in Italy. ”

Gao Junshan happily stepped forward and shook Tang Ruowang's hand and said, "Fortunately! Fortunately! Are you John Tong from Italy? ”

"Your Majesty recognizes me?" John Tang was puzzled.

Sun Kewang saw Gao Junshan and Tang Ruowang chattering, but he didn't understand a word.

Gao Junshan said with a smile: "Your big name is known to Chinese. ”

Tang Ruowang shook his head again and again: "No, no, no." If everybody knew, why was I kicked out of my house by your guys? ”

"Is there such a thing?"

"It's true!"

Gao Junshan said to Sun Kewang: "Kewang, you send someone to investigate, who is so bold that he actually drove Tang Ruowang out of the house." ”

Sun Kewang paused for a moment before he reacted, these two people didn't know what they were talking about, and Gao Junshan suddenly said Chinese to him, and he had this kind of discomfort.

After a while, Sun Kewang asked, "He, John Tang, was kicked out of the house?" ”

Tang Ruowang said to Sun Kewang, he spoke in Chinese this time: "I, I was kicked out of the house by your people, do you still care?" ”

Sun Kewang hurriedly replied: "Manage, manage, must manage!" ”

Gao Junshan said to Sun Kewang: "You go to investigate first, see what the situation is, Tang Ruowang will temporarily live in the palace." ”

John Tang said in Chinese: "How is this good, I still have to go back to live in the church." ”

Only then did Gao Junshan realize that John Tang had been kicked out of the church, and he blamed himself for not making it clear to the troops and protecting these foreign priests.

Therefore, he added an order to the troops stationed in Beijing: not to infringe on the interests of foreigners in the capital, and to protect the churches of foreigners.

Gao Junshan still left John Tang in the imperial city, because he discussed astronomy with John Tang, which made John Tang amazed, how could the emperor of China know everything? Didn't you say that these people were all bandits?

Gao Junshan did not explain much to John Tong, but asked him in English about Galileo's academic theory, the production process of the Galilean telescope, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa......

He greatly praised John Tong's scholarship and hoped that he would write back to the Academy of Rome and send more scholars who were willing to come to China for academic exchanges, and he would warmly receive him as emperor.

The two talked about academic topics like a surging river, from evening to dawn.

The next day, Gao Junshan hired John Tang as a senior professor of Chongwen Institute of Technology and a doctor of Guanglu. 21010
