"This battle against Jianyu is exactly what you need to serve, no matter what Jimin wants, sending you to Denglai is to serve the country!"

Sun Lin looked at Gu Jiaming with a solemn face, compared to Huo Yan, he didn't like Gu Jiaming, and felt that this young man was far from having Huo Yan's sharpness. Gu Jiaming seems to be Yu Guozhen's echo worm, no matter what thoughts he has, when he arrives at Gu Jiaming, the first sentence must be "That's what the little official confessed".

"That's what the petty officials confessed, the tiger guard is in Denglai, and the first thing to protect is himself." Gu Jiaming said calmly: "These two thousand tiger guards are the soldiers of petty officials, and they are only temporarily in charge of the army. Without the express order of the petty officials, they will never let them take hasty risks. ”

"Rash adventure?"

Sun Lin's forehead jumped suddenly, and his eyes became sharper: "You mean ......?"

"What I'm talking about is the battle of Phi Dao last year, dozens of tiger guards didn't need to sacrifice at all, but they died, and they were all staff officers sent by the teaching regiment, and each of them can be the commander of a battalion and a team."

When it came to the Battle of Phi Dao last year, Sun Lin was even more angry, but he was helpless against Gu Jiaming.

On the surface, these 2,000 people were under the banner of Denglai soldiers, but in fact they were still Xinxiang Huwei, and his grandson Lin did not pay a penny of silver for his soldiers, and did not bear a grain of rice for the soldiers, and usually these 2,000 people were stationed at the mouth of Qingdao to train soldiers for him, and also guaranteed that he had 5,000 equipment in his hands - originally 12,000, but because he lent soldiers and horses to others everywhere, Yu Guozhen refused to replenish them.

It is enough to do this for him, both in terms of family and friendship.

Sun Lin was also a little aggrieved in his heart, he felt that he knew Yu Guozhen very well, and he was loyal to his liver and courage to serve the country with all his heart, even so, destroying his family for the country was something that Yu Jimin could do, but why didn't he give himself full support?

The materials you ask for are all used in the right way!

"Well, it's up to you." Sun Lin snorted: "I will talk about this with Jimin." ”

In this regard, Gu Jiaming laughed at it.

He is not a general, he can't do things with Sun Lin, and he is not Yu Dahai, he can spit on himself, so every time Sun Lin makes some outrageous requests, he touches back with a soft nail. Sun Lin did not get along with him very well, and he also wrote several letters to Yu Guozhen to complain, and even asked for Huo Yan back once, and Yu Guozhen's response was a long letter, attaching a detailed list of his support for Sun Lin.

The implication was obvious, coupled with the letter of reprimand from his father-in-law, Sun Lin relented.

"I'm going to take it with me." Thinking about it, Sun Lin said again.

Gu Jiaming said calmly: "What do you want to do when you go north to King Qin this time?" ”

"Naturally, just like Chongzhen in the ninth year, he was defeated and captured in Gyeonggi." Sun Lin was impassioned: "Jimin spared his life for the country at the beginning, Sun is not talented, and he does not want to let him specialize in beauty!" ”

Yu Guozhengong was knighted, and in Sun Lin's view, the most important thing was to break the siege and capture the people in the battle of Gyeonggi. After he said this, Gu Jiaming said: "At the beginning, there were more than 2,000 tiger guards in the hands of the officials, 5,000 Denglai soldiers, and 3,000 Liu Jingyao's soldiers, and the most important thing is that there is no such incompetent chief officer above the officials. ”

Sun Lin was stunned.

"Besides, after you go north, if you win, it's easy to say, if you lose, then is there still a garrison to defend in the east of the entire mountain?"

"How am I going to lose!" Sun Lin argued forcefully: "As long as you go with me, I will be able to win as much as Jimin." ”

"What kind of character Gao Qiqian is, we all saw it two years ago. What has become of the 3,000 Denglai soldiers he transferred to you? What can you do, or rather, what do you dare to do? Gu Jiaming said lightly: "You dare to point fingers at me like this, dare to complain to my family officials, do you dare to dive high like this?" ”

After saying this, Sun Lin's face turned red.

If it was two years ago, of course he would, but he is no longer a ten-year-old hairy boy, just trying to be happy for a while. He knew that the eunuch's heart was not big, as long as he touched Gao Qiqian with a soft nail, then Gao Qiqian would dare to kill him and his 15,000 Denglai soldiers.

"Even if you want to fight, Gao Qiqian is the same as in the past two years, with all the elite soldiers and strong generals by his side to protect himself, and he will not fight alive or dead, what can you do? Seeing that your allies are in danger, but you are guarding a dead eunuch in the safety of the city, are you willing to do this kind of thing? ”

These words made Sun Lin have to rethink, he was willing to fight, but if he encountered a situation where he was afraid of the enemy and did not fight, what would he do?

"So you have to keep some people, and if you don't want to stay in Tenglai, you can also stay in Ji' Nanfu. Zhang Buzheng's side also needs some troops, and in case Jianjian is captured in Jinan, he also has the power to protect himself. ”

"I know how to act." A wave of resentment came up again, this Gu Jiaming actually pointed fingers at him, Sun Lin snorted, turned around and left: "You just do your own thing!" ”

It was already in October of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, and it had been a month since Jianyu broke through the pass into Gyeonggi, and the imperial court summoned troops to Qin Wang, and the governors of various roads such as Fang Yizao, Zhu Guodong, Chen Zubao, etc., were guarded, and the governor Lu Xiangsheng, the chief soldier Zu Dashou, Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, Zu Kuan, Sun Lin, etc., or aided the Beijing division or blocked the enemy, so as to raise the hidden supervision army. Yang Sichang, the secretary of the military department, sat in the Beijing division, he has always been not on good terms with Donglin, and Gao Qiqian secretly colluded, intending to negotiate peace with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Lu Xiangsheng was very dissatisfied with the resolute main battle, and Gao Qiqian and Lu Xiangsheng were hostile to each other, and later Yang Sichang allocated all the elite soldiers to Gao Qiqian, and Lu Xiangsheng, who nominally supervised the world's soldiers and horses, only less than 20,000 Xuandashan 'West soldiers.

In this case, Lu Xiangsheng is no longer capable, and he has no power to return to heaven. Just when Sun Lin led the Denglai soldiers to arrive in the south of Ji'an, the Qing army broke through the Lugou Bridge and raised Liu Bailu, the submersible general. Chongzhen's old trick was repeated, and he ordered all the ministers to guard the capital gate, and surrounded and suppressed Li Zicheng and other rogues in the Shaanxi and Gansu areas, and Sun Chuanting, who was close to the full merit, came to help. Sun Chuanting could only give up Li Zicheng, and joined forces with Hong Chengchou's general Bai Guangen, the general Zuo Guangxian, He Renlong, and others with 150,000 troops, and rushed out of Tongguan to Gyeonggi at night.

The war situation deteriorated further, on the ninth day of November, the Qing army besieged Gaoyang City, Sun Chengzong, a scholar of the former military department Shangshu Dongge University, defended the city with his whole family at the age of 76. Immediately afterwards, the counties of Kegyeonggi and Beizhili were destroyed, and everywhere they went, the city walls were destroyed and slaughtered!

For these changes, the tiger guards who are stationed in Denglai are not unaware, and an anxious atmosphere has begun to spread among the tiger guards. When they joined the Tiger Guard, they naturally wanted to prove themselves on the battlefield. Most of them did not participate in the Gyeonggi War two years earlier, and in the view that Xinxiang instilled in Huwei was that the northern barbarians who invaded the Central Plains such as Jianlu were more hateful beings than the Liukou.

"Nope."

Fold the third letter of invitation today and put it in the official folder, Gu Jiaming still firmly rejected the tiger guard in front of him.

"Jiaming ......"

"Call me Captain!"

"Okay, Head Gu, why not?"

"How to fight can be decided by us, but what to fight, only petty officials can make a decision!" Gu Jiaming said: "The petty officials did not authorize me to wage war against Jianyu, so I will not agree unless someone authorizes me to make a decision...... But don't worry, stay ready for war, maybe in a few days, the order of the petty official will arrive. ”

"That's what you're like this, everything follows the rules!" The one standing in front of him couldn't help but spit out: "Although Huo Yan's fate is indeed sad, don't be afraid of being like this!" ”

"Old drum, I don't like to hear what you say."

After talking about business, Gu Jiaming was still very easy to contact, while he didn't have a sharp spirit, he didn't have much arrogance to reject people thousands of miles away, he pulled the tiger guard standing in front of him, motioned for him to sit down too, and then continued: "Not to send troops is not because I am afraid of Huo Yan's fate, but because I want to set rules!" ”

"Rules?"

"After Huo Yan's incident, our Huwei carried out an activity of re-learning discipline and stressing the overall situation, don't you understand the intention of the petty officials to do this?" Gu Jiaming said: "Huwei must not be domineering, we must pay attention to the overall situation, have a sense of historical mission and responsibility, and know how to look at current things from a historical perspective...... Have you learned? ”

Gu Yifeng, nicknamed Lao Gu, laughed twice, and Gu Jiaming didn't bother to explain in detail: "In short, the petty officials don't want Huwei to become a waste like the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and they don't want Huwei to become the private soldier of a certain general." Petty officials will not do the kind of thing that a civilian directly commands the troops, but unless the military post is transferred to the civilian post, it is impossible for the military officer to have the power to declare war on his own initiative at will! ”

"It's a bit of a constraint."

"Stupid, if you are determined to restrain your hands, learn more and listen more, and turn to a civil service. But at that time, you can't directly command the battle. ”

"Then I'll not do it, it's my ambition to go into battle and kill the enemy. Listen to what you mean, it seems that the veteran can still decide whether to go to war or not? Gu Yifeng still has a sensitive surname: "He is a military transfer, and we are indeed the governor of him in name." ”

"That's nature...... But ......"

As soon as he said this, a sudden sound came from outside: "Salute!" ”

Gu Jiaming tilted his head and looked out of the door, only to see a person wearing the windbreaker of the tiger guard and striding in, it was the Jiang'an they had just mentioned.

Jiang An, who had a mustache, looked more calm and steady, and behind him was Yu Dahai, the two of them presided over the affairs of Korea and the Japanese State, and they cooperated quite tacitly. Like Yu Guozhen, Jiang An is now a father, and his actions are not as out of the way he was back then.

This is Gu Jiaming's opinion of him, but then the first sentence of Jiang'an's first expression let Gu Jiaming know that he was wrong.

"Hey, there's something wrong with the way you two sit side by side." Shogan frowned and said, "Looks ...... Could it be ...... Tsk, no wonder Jiaming you haven't married yet! ”

When it came to getting married, Gu Jiaming thought of the woman he had seen in Gyeonggi and later glimpsed in Xinxiang, and he also wanted to look for it, but because Yu Guozhen wanted him to replace Huo Yan, he was busy with preparations, so he delayed. Now, I don't know what happened to her.

Maybe married.
