Chapter 757: The Empire's Steps Are Getting Bigger
Because as the commander who invaded Hedong County in the past and then plotted against Hancheng, Zhang Gongjin knows very well how strong the Huaxia Revival Army is, in addition, over the years, he has seen the production and life in Guanzhong, and even entered Guanzhong several times as a businessman, and saw a lot of customs and customs in Guanzhong.
The happy life of the common people in Guanzhong can be described as catching up with the United States, and the Chinese Empire not only has extremely strong military combat effectiveness, but more importantly, the military and the people are a family. The common people completely regarded the soldiers as their relatives.
Now the strength of the Chinese Empire has long been above the Central Plains. Whether it is the combat effectiveness of the army or the productivity of the common people. It's not any Central Plains hero, and even everyone can't compete with it.
Although he had never seen artillery, he had seen the power of the firearms of the Chinese Renaissance Army, and he had even taken the train that was never tireless and traveled thousands of miles a day without any problem.
And Ben Gongzi, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, is even more aware of righteousness, and has a vision and level that is difficult for everyone in this era to achieve. Many systems were created and reformed, but there was not a single mistake, but the Chinese Empire not only did not fall into chaos, but took bigger and bigger steps, without pulling the egg at all.
More importantly, those who surrendered to the Chinese Empire, except for a few people who committed great crimes, everyone else can be a rich man, or they can continue to enter the office, such as Nazong Rahu, after surrendering, not only was not idle, but was directly entrusted with important tasks, and now, it is the rank of lieutenant general, second only to Qu Tutong, Wei Yunqi and a few other generals.
There is also Na Du Fuwei, who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River and does not border our Chinese Empire, but is willing to submit. And this son not only did not doubt, but even sent people to help many times, in comparison, Wang Shichong is too narrow-minded, short-sighted, for the surrender of the people, it seems that they are very enthusiastic, show kindness.
But the problem is that after encountering something directly, this guy's first reaction is that it is not those guys who betrayed him, just like the last time after the failure of the Hancheng Raiders, Wang Shicheng immediately asked Liu Hongji and Xu Shiji to be arrested and imprisoned, thinking that it must be the two brothers who gave advice who leaked secrets.
In the end, it was the ministers who admonished Wang Shichong, and Wang Shichong's fourth brother Wang Shiyun tried his best to guarantee it, so Wang Shichong gave up. Then he put on good makeup and soothed with good words. However, after that, even if Xu Shiji was made the commander of the first army, Xu Shiji could not be autonomous, because the subordinates around him were all Wang Shichong's henchmen.
Such a precaution is really chilling, and after Zhang Gongjin Hancheng strategy was defeated, he was also imprisoned for a period of time, and then proved his innocence, and then he was sent out again, Zhang Gongjin originally looked down on Wang Shichong, a traitorous minister who was flattering and bullied, and then, after Wang Shichong forced the Son of Heaven to abdicate, he also killed the abdicated Huangtai Lord, of course, although he said to the outside world that the Huangtai Lord died of a violent illness.
But Wang Shichong's civil and military ministers who have some connections under him know very well that the emperor was killed by this goods. These former Sui ministers have always been very dissatisfied with Wang Shichong's behavior, but the problem is that they are also very clear that no one can clean up and control the army, and Wang Shichong, who has countless henchmen, can only be entrusted to the virtual snake.
The longer I watched Wang Shichong's deeds, the more I understood Wang Shichong's deeds, and the more dissatisfied and even desperate the civil and military ministers like Zhang Gongjin and others who still had a few consciences in their hearts.
Zhang Gongjin, who was already desperate for Wang Shichong, did not say anything clearly after encountering the dark line sent by my Chinese Empire, and even hooked up in private and pretended to be deaf and dumb on the surface, even this guy pretended to be a businessman and sneaked into Guanzhong and even Chang'an, and came to see that today's Chang'an is still related to civil affairs and economic development, and he also knows about these sons.
Because he has the detailed work of the Huaxia Rejuvenation Army by his side, how can I not know? Zhang Gongjin's psychological activities are even more deeply understood by the guys from the Intelligence Bureau. Therefore, at the beginning of the dispatch of troops to the Central Plains, Han Shige was notified that for the time being, he was not in a hurry to send troops to Tongguan, but to start with Yaoguang's sister to send troops to Shanxi.
I believe in the combat effectiveness of the Yaoguang girl, and I believe that the Huaxia Revival Army is invincible, as long as this side can win a big victory, then Zhang Gongjin, who has already supported us in our persuasion, will naturally add an extra bargaining chip.
Sister Yaoguang didn't disappoint me, and I received our side to hope that he would surrender anyway, Zhang Gongjin, who was out of Wang Shichong's command, was still hesitant at first, but after hearing about the battle situation in the Jinyang area, he finally sadly found that Sister Yaoguang could use 8,000 cavalry to drive Li Mi's army of 50,000 or 60,000 like a lost dog.
What about yourself? Or will Zheng Jun be able to compete with the Chinese Revival Army? The conclusion is that it can't, the strength of the Zheng army is at most comparable to Li Mi's army, and the 8,000 cavalry of Yaoguang's sister beat Li Mi's 50,000 army to the point of crawling all over the ground looking for teeth.
And Han Shige is also a general in the army of the Chinese Rejuvenation Army, if he is really in Tongguan, he really wants to resist, it is really only a fart life. In addition, when he was hesitating and entangled, his family members had already been unknowingly taken from Luoyang to a separate courtyard under Zhang Gongjin's own rule outside Hongnong City.
Zhang Gongjin's wife, mother-in-law and son, and more than 20 people appeared in the courtyard intact. And the captain of the Delta Special Brigade of the Chinese Renaissance Army, who took over his family, told Zhang Gongjin who was stunned.
You used to worry about your family, but now, your family has returned to you, and it is up to you whether you return or not, and there are no external factors that interfere with your judgment.
Zhang Gongjin only thought about it for a long time, and felt that he had no other choice, not to mention that his family had come to his side from Chang'an, since he had no worries, who would go to work for a slut like Wang Shichong?
Zhang Gongjin found an envoy quietly sent by the Chinese Revival Army that night, and was willing to pull out the chaos and lead the army to surrender to the Huaxia Revival Army. Then it was simple, Zhang Gongjin first sent personal guards to summon his henchmen to discuss the matter, and when he convened the generals to discuss the matter early the next morning, he buried the sword and axe.
Zhang Gongjin directly reprimanded Wang Shichong for being incompetent and self-reliant, and then jumped up more than a dozen generals loyal to Wang Shichong, and then, when the knife and axe hand appeared, except for the five die-hards who were directly killed on the spot and became completely dead, the remaining ones immediately realized their mistakes and decided to work together with Zhang Gongjin to join the enemy.
In the afternoon, Han Shige led the Fifth Army into Hongnong County, and the land west of Luoyang was all in the hands of the Huaxia Revival Army.
Wang Shichong came back to his senses after Chang Ping also fell into the hands of the Huaxia Renaissance Army, this guy saw Dou Jiande take Liyang before, and Li Mi captured Jinyang, he couldn't help but start to move, and he wanted to stretch out his hand to Shanxi, and was mobilizing troops and horses to prepare for the northern expedition, but after hearing that Zhang Gongjin led 50,000 Zheng troops to offer Hongjia County, Wang Shichong almost collapsed directly.
Wang Shichong, who was about to go crazy, personally led his troops to break into Zhang Gongjin's mansion, but as a result, not to mention people, there was not even a dog, so angry that Wang Shichong wanted to bite the rat in Zhang Gongjin's house to vent his anger. In the end, after nothing was caught, Wang Shichong rushed back to the palace, immediately convened a court meeting, and dispatched troops to recapture Hongnong County and prevent Luoyang from losing the western barrier.
Immediately sent his brother Wang Shiyun to lead 50,000 troops straight to Chang Ping, but what was ushered in was a cannon fire that cut his head and covered his face, and the frightened Zheng army retreated to Shaanxi County, which stopped. The frightened Wang Shiyun immediately repaired the book to Luoyang and informed Wang Shichong that the Huaxia Revival Army had a terrifying long-range weapon in its possession, which could bomb them a few miles away, making the soldiers have no heart to fight. I hope that Wang Shichong can lead the army to help as soon as possible to strengthen morale.
However, Han Shige did not chase and kill, but continued to entrench in the area of Hongnong County, and among the 50,000 troops who surrendered, some of the old and weak were eliminated, and many people who did not want to be soldiers were also let go of their hometowns, and each of them also received ten times.
More than 27,000 soldiers laid down their weapons and took the money, most of these guys were in Luoyang and its surroundings, and instead of forcing them to stay, it was better to release them and give them a settling-in allowance. Show them kindness, so that they may be on guard.
Although these soldiers have been disarmed by us, I believe that Wang Shichong will never allow these guys to happily go home with money to retire, and will definitely gather these guys as soon as possible and continue to gather them into an army.
As for the money and silk on their bodies, if they hide it well, they may be able to hide it, and if they don't hide it well, they may be snatched away, which will only increase the hatred of these soldiers for Zheng Jun, and will reduce a lot of help for the future Huaxia Revival Army's conquest of Luoyang.
And on the fifth day of Zhang Gongjin's surrender, I appeared in Hongnong City outside Tongguan.
Seeing my appearance, Zhang Gongjin, who was discussing with Han Shige how to appease the livelihood of Hongnong County, came back to his senses for a long time and quickly fell to the ground.
"Hurry up and excuse me, I have something to do in Chang'an, and today is here, so I didn't disturb you to do things." I helped Zhang Gongjin up, looked at the tall and elegant middle-aged man in his early forties, nodded and smiled. "The public is known as a gentleman's style, I have heard it for a long time, like thunder, and when I see it today, it is really like his words."
Well, this guy's name is Zhang Gongjin, he was originally a literati, but he was very envious of the image of Zhou Lang in the history books, so he gave up literature and followed martial arts, but he did not lose the style of a scribe, and he was quite praised in the past.
After a cold noise, the guest and host sat down, and Han Shige modestly asked Zhang Gongjin to tell about the situation in Hongnong County during this time.
Since Zhang Gongjin surrendered with an army of 50,000 troops, nothing has happened in Hongnong County, and all the prefectures and counties are very calm. The exchange between the two sides was very smooth, and 50,000 soldiers were killed in the barracks by Zhang Gongjin himself, so there was no bloodshed.
