Chapter Forty-Three: Tang Seng? He Tengjiao!
On that day, Zheng Jue led the troops to find a mountain col to rest during the day, and scattered three times the usual scouts to guard around, Zheng Jue could clearly feel that after experiencing the incident in Cai'er Village, these soldiers who once imagined Tartar as devils were undergoing a crucial change in their hearts
When the mystery of the enemy's invincibility fades, and the flame of hatred trivializes the fear of death, coupled with the guilt of the villagers who were killed, this army will inevitably increase its combat effectiveness in the face of the Tartars, especially the traitor troops
What's even more terrifying is that the equipment on their bodies, the training they receive, and the nutrition provided by their usual training are more than a star and a half stronger than those of the Tartars, and the advantage of the Tartars against them may only be one number
Zheng Jue's army is transforming, evolving towards a Zheng Zheng iron cavalry that expelled the 300,000 founding fathers of the "Great Qing" from the Central Plains in this pass, and now they need a time to digest
Zheng Jue looked at the quiet camp, Zheng Jue himself came to Daming and fought a few battles, after the battle, the camp was so quiet, but it was the first time, the whole camp was full of murderous atmosphere, it was the hatred of the invaders, the indignation of the innocent compatriots, and the deep self-blame and guilt that he was a soldier but could not do anything
Zheng Jue looked at the sky in the northeast, hoping that Li Yue would be okay in the enemy camp, and that Cai'er would be okay over there
After resting for a few hours, Zheng Jue saw that the sky was completely dark, and the gates of the surrounding cities were closed, so he led his troops to bypass Jianning and drive directly to Changsha
When Zheng Jue bypassed Jianning, the sky had already been polished, following the map, Zheng Jue led the team into Zhaoshan, and it happened that one of Zheng Jue's subordinates was Zhaoshan who fled to Guangxi, otherwise Zheng Jue's group of people wandered blindly in the mountains, and it would be good if the Qing army could get out before the Qing army reached Guangxi
Zheng Jue thought as he walked, and at this time, he suddenly saw a large group of birds flying up in the mountains and forests in front of him, and Zheng Jue frowned
"Big brother, are there still officials and soldiers near Changsha?"
"This should be the jurisdiction of He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, I don't know how many people there are under He Tengjiao" Zhu Youlang changed his previous decadence, after experiencing the incident in Cai'er Village, Zhu Youlang changed a lot, the deepest impression is that the Tartar is not so terrible, Zhu Youlang also cooperated with a personal soldier and killed a Tartar with his own hands, and the fear of the Tartar in his heart has long been swept away
Zheng Jue looked at the forest in front of him, he was afraid that someone had entered the woods just now, but the Qing soldiers should not come to this forest to feed the mosquitoes, it may be the guerrillas under He Tengjiao
Zheng Jue sent a few scouts to take a look, if it was a hair grown, he would come forward to contact, if it was a money rat tail, he would come back immediately to report, at this time the Qing court had ordered the hair to be shaved, and the enemy and me were instantly clear
Zheng Jue took his subordinates to rest in place, waiting for the scout to come back, if it was He Tengjiao's department, the matter of finding a ship could be left to them to do, and after a while, the scout came back, and he also brought a person dressed as a scout of the Ming army
"My lord, it's He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, just now the prefect of Changsha withdrew to Zhaoshan in the south on Tuesday" Zheng Jue ordered the whole army to follow this scout to the Ming army camp
Zheng Jue followed this scout around the Zhaoshan Mountain, thinking several times that this goods were pretended by the Qing army to fool him, until a camp appeared in front of Zheng Jue's eyes, Zheng Jue did not believe it
Zheng Jue asked Zhu Youlang to wait outside with the troops, and Zheng Jue took a few personal soldiers into the camp and came to He Tengjiao's big tent
"My lord, this is Lord Zheng from Guangxi" The scout brought Zheng Jue over, reported and left
The middle of the Chinese military tent bowed his hand to Zheng Jue, "He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, what is the matter with this general from Guangxi?"
"Zheng Jue, the commander of the last general of Guangxi Jing Yuanwei, this time there is an important matter in the north and twenty ships are needed to march eastward" The people in the battalion heard that it was Jing Yuanwei's people, and all of them had a very surprised expression on their faces, only He Tengjiao's face did not change
"The old man heard that there is a Jing Yuanwei in Guangxi, and he is invincible, but he is under the command of the general?"
"Ha, my lord, this is just a folk rumor, the lowly position is just to build a strong city in Guangxi, only in this city, the lowly position dares to say that the Tartars are blocked outside Guangxi."
Zheng Jue didn't pretend to be x in front of He Tengjiao, after all, everyone is a smart person and has the ability to destroy the Tartar, why are they still fighting guerrillas in this ravine
"The last general dares to ask when this Changsha fell?" This is Zheng Jue's most puzzled point, according to the original history, He Tengjiao should have waited in Changsha City at this time for Hao Shaoqi to come over to surrender, how could he run to the mountains to fight guerrillas
"Xiaguan Changsha Governor's Mansion is in the south of Tuesday, this Changsha City was originally in the hands of the imperial court, but a few months ago, the Tartars suddenly crossed the river, and tens of thousands of people went south to Changsha after seizing Xiangyin" Zheng Jue frowned after hearing this, what made such a big change make the Qing army change its battle plan
"Since that's the case, let my subordinates come in and rest first" After He Tengjiao agreed, he ordered someone to bring a chair for Zheng Jue, and Zheng Jue asked a personal soldier to go out and call Zhu Youlang in
Zheng Jue sat in the camp tent and looked at the map of Changsha and was distracted, He Tengjiao was spitting on it, Zheng Jue couldn't understand that these people still listened to it, and they looked very serious
Suddenly, a person walked in, He Tengjiao finally stopped speaking, and everyone's eyes were focused on the person who came
"Lone is Zhu Youlang, the king of Yongming, I have seen all the adults" Zhu Youlang arched his hand towards He Tengjiao, and everyone hurriedly saluted Zhu Youlang
"Xiaguan knocks to see His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness is a thousand years old" He Tengjiao looked at Zhu Youlang, his eyes were filled with tears, Zheng Jue looked at He Tengjiao in surprise, and then looked at Zhu Youlang, Zhu Youlang's expression was the same as Zheng Jue's, otherwise Zheng Jue thought that these two were old friends, so he would have to stay away from Zhu Youlang
"Your Royal Highness, the old minister is guilty, Changsha is lost, the old minister has no face to go to see the first emperor" He Tengjiao suddenly came to such a voice, Zheng Jue almost didn't slide under the table, this old man is too capable, the boss is not small, and he still plays this
Zhu Youlang's expression was fixed to comfort He Tengjiao, but because of He Tengjiao's voice, the impassioned speech ended early, and Zheng Jue was still in a good mood
After Zheng Jue returned to the tent arranged for them, he found that Zhu Youlang had not come back yet, and was dragged by He Tengjiao to go home
When Zhu Youlang came back, Zheng Jue couldn't help but look at Zhu Youlang
"I didn't do anything to be sorry for Li Lin, hahaha," Zheng Jue looked at Zhu Youlang with a look of embarrassment with a cup of tea that had just been rubbed from Tuesday Nan
"This literati is too pedantic, he is so sour that he almost vomited without nausea" Zhu Youlang sat on the bed and was about to start resting, Zheng Jue, holding tea, continued to look at the map in a daze
