Chapter 156: Metropolitan Unity
There is a mistake in the previous text, Shang Kexi is inlaid with the blue flag of the Han Army, and Geng Jimao is under the yellow flag of the Han Army (the previous error will not be changed, the reader can know it)
Geng Jimao, what does that kid have to think! Why did he ride on my head! Why does he command my Pingnan Palace!
Is my father old and confused, why did he agree to Geng Jimao's kid! This is going to be spread out, saying that he Geng Jimao mentioned it casually, and the king of Pingnan asked the prince to lead the army to the expedition, what do outsiders think, the Pingnan palace still has no face, and my son has no face!
On the way out of Guangzhou, Shang Zhixin had a blue face, an evil fire in his chest, and his mind was full of thoughts about Geng Jimao's villain's detached face, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he threw a whip on the mount Bai Yunchai who stepped down.
Baiyun chasing is the Mongolian Korqin Department tribute to Dolgon's horse, because the whole body is snow-white, the speed is fast, so Dolgon gave the name Baiyun Chasing. In the fifth year of Shunzhi, when Shang Kexi and Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming went south, Dolgon gave the three kings a number of high-class Mongolian horses, including this Baiyun Chai.
Together with Bai Yunchai, there was also a big green horse given to Shang Kexi, who was later given by Shang Kexi to his subordinate General Yunlong, and then fell into the hands of Zhou Shixiang. Shang Kexi because of his age, and you are the vassal king, weekdays travel mostly by sedan chair, has not ridden a horse, so the white cloud chased to his son Shang Zhixin, Shang Zhixin got this horse is very fond, specially let the four people take care of this horse, every day chewing is the best food, whether it is going out or marching on weekdays is to ride the white cloud chase, rarely so hard to beat the horse.
Bai Yunchai suddenly felt pain, and suddenly let out a wail, not understanding why the master wanted to hit it. Everyone in the Pingnan Royal Mansion who was accompanying them knew the temper of His Royal Highness the Prince, and seeing that His Royal Highness was angry, no one dared to come forward to persuade him, for fear of setting himself on fire.
Shang Zhi's faith is nowhere to be found. Seeing that his whip was really too hard, a clear red mark appeared on the horse's body, and he was suddenly a little distressed. He casually threw the horsewhip to Goshha on the side, and kept his head shut and said nothing.
His Royal Highness did not speak. Which one of the others dared to speak, so he walked forward speechlessly. A total of 3,000 soldiers and horses were sent to Xinhui City this time, 800 elite soldiers of the Han army under the command of Pingnan Wangfu were inlaid with blue flags, and 2,200 soldiers of the Guangzhou Green Battalion were accompanied.
The commander of the 800 Han army inlaid with the blue flag elite soldiers is the commander of the Han army under the command of Pingnan Wangfu Ban Zhifu, this person is over fifty years old, in the early years in the Dongjiang River is Shang Kexi's personal soldiers, when Kong Youde rebelled in Denglai, Ban Zhifu persuaded Shang Kexi to lead troops to echo Kong Youde. However, Shang Kexi is not optimistic that Kong Youde will succeed. Therefore, he has been hesitant and refused to agree, but behind his back, he let many of his subordinates cross the sea to join Kong Youde, and this matter was detected by Shen Shikui, the new chief soldier of Phi Dao, so he wanted to get rid of Shang Kexi, but he didn't want to be found out by Shang Kexi's subordinate Xu Erxian, and Shang Kexi knew that there was no way out after hearing about it, so he led his troops to reduce the gold. At that time, it was Xu Erxian and Ban Zhifu who were sent to Shenyang to contact the Houjin regime about the surrender.
After Shang Kexi lowered the gold, Hou Jin Hong was extremely excited when he heard it, shouting "God helps me", and gave Shang Kexi the name "Heaven Helps Soldiers". Feng Shang Kexi was the chief military officer, and his subordinates were under the blue flag of the Han Army, and Xu Erxian, Ban Zhifu and others were also successively awarded the title of general and guerrilla.
Now. More than ten years have passed, the Houjin Dynasty, which was confined to a corner of Liaodong, has entered the customs and occupied the Han family, and changed the Yuan to the Qing Dynasty, and the chief soldier of the Tianzhu Army of that year Shang Kexi has been the king of the domain, Xu Erxian has also been the chief soldier of Zhaoqing, although Ban Zhifu has no town, but he has also been promoted to the Han army inlaid with blue flags. They are also all generals under the Pingnan Domain.
However, in terms of the degree of cronies in front of Shang Kexi, Ban Zhifu is still above Xu Erxian, the chief military officer. Although the chief military officer is in the official power town, he is the only town. But he is a foreign official, although Dutong does not have a real town, nor does he have the right to lead the army alone, but he is an internal official, compared with Xu Erxian, who has not seen each other for a year, Ban Zhifu can see Dutong every day is obviously more gratifying. The most important thing is that Xu Erxian, the chief military officer of Zhaoqing, was not Shang Kexi asked the Qing court for him, but was directly appointed by the Qing court over the Pingnan Palace.
There is a difference between inside and outside, Ban Zhifu is very satisfied with his current status, although in terms of power and prestige, he is not as good as Xu Erxian in other towns, but when it comes to the weight of his speech in front of King Pingnan, he feels much higher than Xu Erxian. Not to mention anything else, every time Yunlong and Wu Jinzhong come to Guangzhou, in addition to giving a generous gift to the prince of Pingnan, they have to prepare a copy of his class.
As the old man of Dongjiang back then, and the old man who followed the king of Pingnan for nearly 30 years, looking at the city of Guangzhou, in addition to the king of Pingnan himself, how can he also be the master of Ban Dutong in terms of seniority, that is, the imperial prince and governor are not as old as him, as for the prince of Jingnan who has not dried up, he doesn't listen to it, Ban Dutong doesn't take him seriously at all, which can be said to coincide with the letter of the prince of the world, so Shang Zhixin is inconvenient to say in front of outsiders will be bluntly said to Ban Zhifu, First, Ban Zhifu is an old man who followed his father, and he is also the general of the guard of the successor domain selected by his father Shang Kexi for himself; Second, although Ban Zhifu is old, among the generals of the Pingnan Domain, except for Xu Erxian, he is the oldest, and he can calm the scene, before he becomes the prince of Pingnan, Shang Zhixin must use these veteran ministers to suppress those fierce generals, lest these people spy on themselves.
When Zheng Guodong of Xinhui sent an urgent official document, Shang Kexi didn't care about it at first, and when he heard that Wu Jinzhong had died in Guifeng Mountain, King Pingnan panicked. Xinhui is the southern gate of Guangzhou, once Xinhui is lost, there will be no danger to resist in the south of Guangzhou, if the Ming army is like Li Dingguo's army last year, this Guangzhou city will definitely not be able to hold. Fortunately, then news came that although Wu Jinzhong died in Guifeng Mountain, the news that the Xinhui defenders had found to attack the Ming army was not Li Dingguo's army, but a Ming army called the Taiping Army. This Taiping army is the Ming army miscellaneous cards, for some reason to run to the vicinity of Xinhui, because it is coerced all the way, there are many young and strong people in the department, and there are bandits with it, as a result, Wu Jinzhong did not check the ambush, although desperately resisted, but finally the enemy I was outnumbered and died in Guifeng Mountain.
How Wu Jinzhong was ambushed and how he died was not mentioned in Zheng Guodong's official document, but the urgent delivery sent by Su Xianting as soon as possible. Although I don't know why Zheng Guodong and Su Xianting sent an urgent letter by themselves, the content of what they said is roughly the same, and it is clear that it is not Li Dingguo's army who came to attack Xinhui, which makes Shang Kexi feel at ease, in the eyes of King Pingnan, as long as it is not Li Dingguo's tiger, no Ming army can take Xinhui City, let alone threaten Guangzhou City. However, the reinforcements must be sent, no way, after Li Dingguo retreated at the beginning of the year, the two feudal clans of Pingnan and Jingnan successively withdrew the elite soldiers from the city, and now there are only two or three thousand defenders in Xinhui City, and now more than 1,000 people have been buried by Wu Jinzhong, and it is dangerous to hold Xinhui with only more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in the city.
At the same time, Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan, who got the news, hurriedly came to the Pingnan palace in the afternoon, but he did not take the initiative to send troops and horses from the Jingnan domain to help like Li Dingguo's army last time, but told Shang Kexi that his subordinates of the king of Jingnan could not draw reinforcements for the time being, and the new aid meeting would be undertaken by the Pingnan palace.
Why Geng Jimao refused to send troops, it was still clear, and it was not because of the last time he fought for merit, Xinhui defended the city in a battle, and most of the credit fell on the Pingnan Palace, he Geng Jimao can feel comfortable? In addition, the Pingnan Palace's staring at the post of Guangdong Governor made his Jingnan Palace's powerlessness, and most of Guangdong's financial power fell into the hands of the Pingnan Palace.
If it is really Li Dingguo's army, Geng Jimao will not dare to do this, Guangzhou's gains and losses are related to the overall situation of Guangdong, and Guangdong's gains and losses are related to the overall situation of the south. Xinhui City is not lost, Guangzhou is naturally not in danger, in this case, why did he Jingnan King send troops and money and food. Didn't you say that Shouxin would be your Pingnan Palace's strength, that's okay, this time you will do it again!
Geng Jimao's small abacus, Shang Ke is gratifying to become old and refined, where he doesn't know, but he is not annoyed, for this younger prince who is like a son and nephew, he doesn't look at the face of the monk and looks at the face of the Buddha, and rushes at his son Geng Zhongming, he is still happy and will not care about the real general, as for what his son Shang Zhixin does, he can't care. The younger generation's own affairs are done by the younger generation, what is he mixing blindly with this old man, in short, Guangdong must be his Shang family, beyond this bottom, his old man is not the ears of a deaf man - ornament!
Geng Jimao will not send troops if he does not send troops, and the Taiping army on the left and right has no strength to attack the fortification, Wu Jinzhong suffered from the unknown intelligence, and he brought fewer soldiers.
Points!
Shang Kexi did not hesitate to agree to send troops from the Pingnan Palace, and the candidate to lead the army has already been available, and this person is Dutong Ban Zhifu. Who would have thought, but Geng Jimao found a lot of reasons to oppose Ban Zhifu to lead the army to help, and proposed another candidate - Shang Zhixin, the prince of Pingnan.
I don't know if Shang Kexi really listened to Geng Jimao's advice, or if he wanted his son to lead the army alone to make a good contribution and show a big face in front of the court, or he was worried that Ban Zhifu would make any mistakes when he was old, and finally really agreed to let his son Shang Zhixin lead the troops, but in case of foolproof, Ban Zhifu still came to the rescue, but not as the commander, but led 800 elite soldiers with blue flags as the forward, and 2200 soldiers led by Lin Shanzhi, the general soldier of Guangzhou.
Soldiers, Pingnan Wangfu is out, money and grain, but Jingnan Wangfu is half of it, Geng Jimao is not stingy, and Guangzhou Mansion also requisitioned 2,000 young men to transport baggage with the army. (To be continued)
