Chapter 301 Raising the Flag

In the early morning, when the genius was slightly white, the guards of the Governor's Mansion came to the mansions where the generals of the Green Battalion lived, and invited all the officers of the Green Battalion above 1,000 to discuss matters at the Governor's Palace.

The three Wang brothers, as the generals of the Qing army with 7,000 soldiers and horses, were naturally invited, but when the three of them got the news, their faces were full of entanglement, and they were obviously unwilling to participate in any deliberations.

The three brothers had concerns that stemmed from a brawl yesterday evening.

Originally, the brawl was not a big deal, and there were often fights in the army, which was a normal thing, but this brawl killed three Mongolian Eight Banners, and the matter became serious.

The Ming army besieged Wuchang, Tong Yanghe in order to let the soldiers sell their lives, they paid an extra month's military salary, the soldiers were about to go to battle, naturally there was no money left in their hands, Wang Guangtai's subordinate a thousand generals, then invited a group of officers to the restaurant to eat and drink, who knew that they were halfway through the meal, but more than ten Eight Banner soldiers came in.

Because Wang Yan killed 5,000 Eight Banners in the pit outside the city, so that the Eight Banners in the city were very unhappy, and no one was pleasing to the eye, they saw more than ten Green Battalion officers, and the atmosphere in the lobby was warm, and their hearts immediately became annoyed.

This kind of thing, even if the green camp is beaten and suffers a loss, you have to accompany the Eight Banners, not to mention that three of the Eight Banners will be killed.

When Tong Yanghe was discussing strategies with Turai in the Governor's Palace, the three Wang brothers were also in the residence and discussed for a night.

Wang Guangen's three brothers lived in a large mansion in the south of the city, it is said that it used to be the residence of a Ming Dynasty jinshi, after the shaving order was issued, the old jinshi ran to the mountains and died of hunger strike, and the courtyard was occupied by the Qing army.

This courtyard happened to be relatively close to the southern city wall that the three brothers were responsible for guarding, which was convenient for them to control the army, so Tong Yanghe gave the courtyard to the three of them.

At this time, the guards of the governor's palace did not leave, but waited outside the courtyard, apparently ordered to lead them through.

When the three brothers saw this, their hearts were even more uneasy, and they all sat around with serious faces.

At this time, Wang Guangtai's eyes flashed with a fierce light and said: "Big brother, I don't think Tong Yanghe has any good intentions, presumably it must be Tulai who reported the killing of the Eight Banners by our department to Tong Yanghe, he wants to recruit us, and then punish us~"

Wang Chang also echoed: "Big brother, the Qing court employs people, first of all, Manchu and Mongolian, then Liaodong Han people, and finally those of us who belong after entering the customs. Tong Yanghe didn't trust us originally, but this time he was afraid that he wanted to take the opportunity to deal with us, and then seize the soldiers and horses in our hands, and the younger brother did not approve of going. ”

Listening to the words of the two, Wang Guangen frowned, "If you don't go, wouldn't you tell Tong Yang that he has two hearts with us, then he will have even more excuses to deal with us." ”

"Hmph~" Wang Guangtai couldn't help but be slightly angry when he heard this: "This time it was the Eight Banners to find fault, first provoked our brothers, and only then was killed, "If Tong Yanghe dares to punish us, we can sell Wuchang City in exchange for wealth." ”

"Yes, what the second brother said is reasonable." Wang Chang stood up and agreed: "We used to be at ease, but now we have shaved this rat-tailed pigtail, and we will be looked down upon by the Eight Banners." He's a bull to talk to me, I'm fed up. ”

Wang Guangen listened to the words of the two brothers, his face showed a contemplative look, he was also very dissatisfied with the current situation in his heart, so he did not scold the two younger brothers for complaining, but as the head of the three brothers, he couldn't act as impulsively as them.

"Big brother knows what you think, but I don't know what Tong Yanghe is going to do yet, and there are five hundred and eight banners at the city gate to watch, even if you want to sacrifice the city, you have to make a plan, you can't act recklessly." Wang Guangen comforted the two, and then continued: "Since Tong Yanghe has recruited each other, the eldest brother will go and have a look, and the two of you don't have to go, and immediately go to the city to control our soldiers and horses." Now that the people in the city are in turmoil, Tong Yanghe sees that you are not going, so he doesn't dare to take him as a brother! Do you understand? ”

When Wang Guangtai and Wang Chang heard this, they felt that what Wang Guangen said was indeed reasonable, it was not a simple matter to dedicate the city, the three city gates were guarded by the Eight Banners, and if they wanted to succeed, they had to at least contact Wang Yan outside the city first.

"What the eldest brother said is reasonable, then the third brother and I will go to Nancheng." Wang Guangtai immediately got up, and then quietly left through the back door with Wang Chang.

After the two of them had walked for a while, Wang Guangen came out of the room, and then followed the guards of the Governor's Mansion to the Governor's Palace.

In the lobby of Wuchang Mansion and the Governor's Palace, there were more than 20 generals with more than 1,000 generals.

Tong Yanghe sat in the lobby and saw Wang Guangen coming alone, and he didn't ask anything, because now Wuchang is like a powder keg, which will explode at one point.

Before holding Wuchang, the officers of the Green Battalion here were all his uncles, and now he can only lower his posture, stabilize the morale of the army, and wait for the Ming army to retreat, and then come to settle accounts with them.

At this time, Tong Yanghe saw that the main generals of the three green battalions had already come to the palace, so they didn't bother with those who didn't come, so they got up and said: "This governor got the news that Prince Ying on the North Road is about to break through Xiangyang, and he will be able to reach Wuchang in ten days at most, so you don't have to worry about the Ming army under the city at all, as long as the soldiers and horses on the North Road arrive, Wang Yan will inevitably retreat to Hunan, and you will all get a great achievement." ”

When Wang Guangen and other green battalion generals heard this, they couldn't help but make a commotion, but they soon quieted down, they all knew that Wuchang was surrounded by water, and the Yangtze River was separated, and reinforcements would arrive within ten days, which was very likely to be a lie compiled by Tong Yanghe in order to stabilize the morale of the army.

The information that Tong Yanghe said was indeed made up by him, and the generals of the Green Battalion were all human spirits, so naturally they would not fully believe his words.

"You also know that in the land of Huguang, there are many battles, and the Han army has two banners, both white and yellow, and has basically lost everything, and even the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners have suffered heavy casualties." Tong Yanghe saw that the reaction of the green camp was not enthusiastic, so he had to take out a piece of the recital and said: "After this Huguang battle, the imperial court will inevitably make great efforts to restore the establishment of the Eight Banners, and the governor has already written the recital, as long as you help the governor to guard Wuchang, the governor will protect the regent, carry the flag for you, and integrate you into the Han army flag." ”

"What? Raise the flag! ”

The power of this sentence is much more shocking than the reinforcements that Fang Cai raised and fabricated, and the green camp in the hall suddenly exclaimed.

The Eight Banners system is a very special system invented by the old slave, and the concept of the Eight Banners is actually above the nation and is a freak, but this system is indeed very powerful, and it can make the flag soldiers a strong centripetal force.

Raising the flag is to give ordinary people a chance to rise, in Chinese history, the imperial examination system is also a ladder that can make the lower class flow to the upper class, the imperial examination has caused everything to be inferior, only the status quo of high reading, and raising the flag enables some people to rise to the privileged class through military exploits.

The Qing court's methods were very clever, and they would often allow some of the green battalion generals to take advantage of raising the flag, and then let these generals compete with each other, so that the combat power of the green battalion would immediately increase.

Jin Shengheng on the left and Li Chengdong on the Gao Jie were all green battalion soldiers, but they were very accustomed to fighting, and they showed their ability far away in the Ming Dynasty, which was the benefit of the Qing court to carry the flag.

At this time, the generals of the green camp in the hall, after listening to Tong Yanghe's words, couldn't help but move in their hearts, if they can really become a member of the Eight Banners, then from now on, they will be superior existences, and their children and grandchildren can become a privileged class, and they can sit back and enjoy their achievements without weaving or farming.

With the advantage of raising the flag, a group of green battalions can't help but start to re-examine the current situation, Azig is indeed storming Xiangyang, although it may not come within ten days, but Wang Yan's main force is in Wuchang, as long as they hold the city and drag Wang Yan, then Xiangyang will be broken by Azig sooner or later, this battle is not without fighting!

A group of green battalion generals, at this time, I can't help but look at me, and I see you make eye contact.

Seeing this, Tong Yanghe's face finally leaked a trace of joy, he knew that these green battalion generals had already been moved, but at this moment, a huge sound of "boom" suddenly sounded, and the Ming army had begun to bombard the city.
