This meeting, for Gao Jie, in addition to the feeling of being caught off guard, was more frightened and uneasy, and he couldn't believe that all this was true.

In the past, although I always heard about how the Shandong Army had achieved great victories, and heard that they had some invisible behind-the-scenes transactions with the Zuo Army and the Zheng family, although these things were like thunder, they couldn't match their half-dime relationship after all, so they didn't care so much about and valued it.

Up to now, Gao Jie's life in the world is completely dependent on the Shandong army, and his subordinates have to go through the reduction and reorganization of the Shandong side, and then install some of their grassroots generals in order to get supplies and weapons.

Gao Jie knew that in this way, his original high army no longer existed at all, and the entire battalion was full of henchmen loyal to Wang Zheng, that is, tied to the boat and unable to move.

When he came out of the Wuying Palace, Gao Jie turned around and looked at this majestic palace, but he was a little stunned, he had never been in such a mood today.

An imperial palace that has been abandoned by Nanjing for many years, and there is a chief soldier of the imperial court standing on it, but he is in awe, and naturally assumes a subordinate posture, and only nods in agreement with all the conditions mentioned by this person.

In the past, Gao Jie also had the same thoughts as others, and felt that Wang Zheng's military exploits could not be true at all, how could there be such a person in the world.

But when he saw it today, he felt that everything was so real.

Gao Jie has a straightforward temperament, like a fierce Zhang Fei, but he does not have Zhang Fei's thick and thin, nor does he have Zhang Fei's courage to move forward, which can be regarded as half of Zhang Fei's temperament.

In fact, it is this kind of temperament that has allowed Gao Jie to live until now.

Within the distance of Wuying Hall directly out of the imperial city, Gao Jie did not see even a single maid and servant who served, and none of them had nothing to do, all of them had their own things to do.

In addition to the soldiers standing solemnly on both sides, there are the civilian officials of the staff office who come and go, as well as the generals of the internal and external departments.

The civil officials either held a lot of books in their hands, or hurried back and forth with their sleeves, and the generals were trotting, driving the newly released military orders and government orders in their hands back to their stations to convey them.

and Nanjing City, which was occupied by the Shandong Army for more than five months, Gao Jie did not see the slightest chaos after the city was broken by the rebels, and people inside and outside were busy, looking thriving and orderly.

Gao Jie and Li Zicheng have a mortal enemy, and they used to be Li Zicheng's generals, because they would defect to the official army because of their fornication with Li Zicheng's wife, so they also know the Dashun Army very well.

After so many years, there should be at least dozens of battles large and small, but Gao Jie can tell the difference between Dashun and the Shandong army at a glance, it is simply one in the sky and one underground.

In Gao Jie's opinion, the elites of the old battalion that Li Zicheng is proud of in the Dashun Army are actually a little stronger than many foreign troops in the Shandong Army, and they are not even as good as the regular soldiers of the descendants, not to mention the wolf-like soldiers.

Of course, no matter what you think about it, Gao Jie is the first time in his life to come to this extremely prosperous Nanjing City, how can he go back without having a good time?

You know, going back this time will be a battle against the water.

If you lose, don't say that Wang Zheng can't spare himself, and even if he has the life to survive from the battlefield at that time, he can't say anything else.

Gao Jie found his own soldiers in the Qinglou and prepared to stay in Nanjing for a few days before returning to Luzhou Mansion.

In the past few days, Gao Jie has found a lot of interesting and incomprehensible things, the famous prostitutes in Qinhuai in Jiangnan are famous all over the world, but he didn't find a few people from the Shandong Army drinking and recruiting prostitutes, either local big households, or some foreign soldiers who went out to take on tasks and go out desperately.

According to local people, there used to be frequent disturbances in Nanjing, but since last July, that is, since the Shandong army entered the city, there have not been many encounters, and there is a lot of laughter everywhere.

Even if there is occasional chaos, soon there will be personnel from the security department and yamen in charge of this area to disperse, and if the other party does not give an inch and has to provoke trouble, these people will also say that they will draw their knives, and they will not be soft at all.

It doesn't matter what kind of big family you are, or the slave of the Xun Qi family, the person who is most afraid now is nothing more than Wang Zheng, this Marquis Anton is said to be very protective, if it is really a big trouble, in the end, it has to be the final say in the power of others.

The talents of the Shandong Army don't care whether you are justified or not, they directly made up a reason, took the military order of the Hou Ye to transfer the troops, and arrested the whole family A lot of things.

Even during the investigation of the Shandong Sweep last year, many Xun Qi families wanted to rely on the high wall to stubbornly resist the conditions, but how did Anton Hou do it, he didn't say a word of nonsense, and directly transferred a few cannons, and even razed the wall and people to the ground.

Hearing this, Gao Jie felt very relieved, not to mention that this Hou Ye was very afraid when he saw it that day, but he still liked the inner nature that was inadvertently revealed, but he felt that he was in the right temper.

To put it bluntly, with the imperial court, there is no need to think about the salary at all, even the clothes and weapons are incomplete, but it is completely different with Anton Hou.

Some time ago, the Dashun army was in Huguang and Shaanxi, and Zhang Xianzhong's troops were in Huguang and Sichuan.

In addition to them, there are also Zuo Liangyu, the warlords of the imperial court, no matter which of these people, they all adopt an attitude of killing the big families, and only the Shandong army is in the guise of solicitation.

The wealthy kept fleeing from other places to the places where the Shandong army was stationed, and although there were farms built in these places, the policy towards them was not very friendly.

But while he can survive and save his family business, he will be killed by those who are skinned and sucked out, even if he is a fool, he knows how to choose when he is in a desperate situation.

In the past, these people had two places, one was the Shandong area that has gradually risen in recent years, such as Jining in Wengzhou Prefecture, Jiaozhou in Laizhou Prefecture, and Penglai in Dengzhou Prefecture.

These place names gradually appeared in the sight of the big families in various places, and became a choice for home relocation and escape, and it is rumored that these places are becoming more and more prosperous, no longer a remote and poor place, and all kinds of performance are becoming more and more prosperous, not inferior to Jiangnan.

The most rare thing is that these places have been extremely stable for several years, and there has never been any chaos, and the local Shandong army garrison has been idle and bored, and even all the bandits and bandits that can be found have been wiped out.

So gradually, there is an unwritten rule in the green forest, saying that you must not go to the area occupied by the Shandong army to set up a pole, because you can gather at least a few hundred or thousands of people in other places, and you will already be the emperor of the soil.

But in the place where the Shandong army is stationed, no matter how many of your troops there are, no matter how private you appear, people will always be able to wipe you out as quickly as possible, and there are far more people from all walks of life than local bandits.

You must know that even in the south of the Yangtze River before, if there was any wind and grass, there were often howling mountains and forests in the locality, and the people besieged the county government in groups, which was not very stable.

In the hearts of many people, stability is the most important thing in this troubled world.
