Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

These are real troubled times.

Liu walked into Changsha City with the wind, he saw the barracks of the rebels outside the city, and recalled the unbearable years he had spent in Gao Yingxiang's camp.

Gao Yingxiang died, and Li Zicheng, who had been emperor for a few months, also died. Even Zhang Xianzhong died in Sichuan last year for no apparent reason.

Zuo Liangyu is dead, Lao Hui is dead, Hui Dengxiang is dead, and it is like a nightmare.

These people seem to have been sent down by God to plague the Ming Dynasty, and when the dust settled, they left this world in a hurry.

The atmosphere in Changsha City is very bad.

There are many contradictions between He Tengjiao, the governor of the eight provinces, and Du Yinxi, the governor of Huguang, and the root cause of this is the battle of Huguang a few months ago. The two agreed to attack Huguang with two lines of soldiers and horses, but they didn't expect He Tengjiao to be defeated again and again, and he didn't dare to fail to recover Wuchang, and even Yuezhou was lost, resulting in the defeat of Yinxi under Jingzhou City.

The remnants of the Dashun Army were divided into two in Hunan.

Li Zicheng's lineage, including Mrs. Gao and a tiger Li Guo and others, was reorganized into the city loyalty camp and placed under the control of Yinxi.

The original Hao Shaoqi was renamed Hao Jinzhong, and the troops were brought under the control of He Tengjiao.

The streets were noisy, refugees and miscellaneous soldiers were mixed, and no one came to greet him.

Liu Suifeng found a pedestrian to ask for directions, and went to the governor's yamen. It was not easy for him to come here from Chizhou, and Wuchang and Jiangxi that he passed through on the way were both Qing occupied areas. Although there were rebels who were familiar with the road to lead the way, he did not shave any of them, so the risk was very high.

This is not a year ago, at that time, Jin Shenghuan turned a blind eye to the envoy of the Ming Court, and now Ji'an has started a war, the two sides have torn their faces, and they no longer have scruples about acting.

There were more than 20 guards accompanying them, and they were actually conspicuous in the streets, and everyone walked until they reached the door of the governor's yamen before they were stopped in the road.

The guards shouted: "Who dares to go to the door of the governor's office to make trouble and leave." ”

"I am an envoy from Nanjing, and I want to see the Governor."

The guards looked up and down, looked disbelieving, and asked, "Really!" ”

"Inform Governor Ho that I have a cabinet document here."

The soldiers left in a hurry, and after a while, a goateeed literati came out of it, with a pointed chin, high cheekbones, a slightly crooked head, and a huge black mole on his right cheek.

The man looked Liu Suifeng up and down and asked, "Are you an envoy of the imperial court?" ”

"Not bad!"

"Is there any evidence?"

Liu Suifeng took out the official document of the cabinet from his arms, shook it in front of the man, and said, "Is Governor He in the Yamen?" ”

The man saw that Liu Suifeng was confident, and he expected that there was no falsehood, so he turned around and led the way, saying, "In Xia Zhangkuang, I will supervise the army for the Governor's Palace." ”

Liu Suifeng suddenly remembered this person's background, and said with a smile: "I am in Jiangnan, and Chen Wozi once mentioned Brother Zhang's name to me. "Zhang Kuang is a native of Songjiang, and of course his fame is not as good as Chen Zilong, this sentence is purely close.

Zhang Kuang, who was walking in front, had a cold face and didn't eat his set.

Walking all the way into the inner courtyard of the Governor's Palace, a wide-faced man in a scarlet official uniform walked over, that was He Tengjiao.

Liu Suifeng bowed and saluted, "Meet the Governor, below is Shi Liu, the head of the Datong Palace, the general of Pingyu." ”

"General Pinglu, King Datong! Hum! He Tengjiao's face instantly became very ugly.

"I'm here to deliver the letter on the orders of the Cabinet Cabinet Department!" Liu Suifeng carefully observed He Tengjiao's expression, and took out the cabinet document from his arms and handed it over. Emperor Longwu did not issue a holy decree, he could only use the official documents of the military department to explore the way.

"The king of Yanping and the king of Datong are attacking Jin Shenghuan in Shanxi, hoping that Governor He can raise troops in Changsha and attack in three ways. After defeating Jin Shenghuan, he can take advantage of the situation to restore Huguang. ”

Liu Suifeng deliberately said the last sentence very seriously, and his eyes were dripping and did not miss the slightest change in He Tengjiao's face.

He Tengjiao was very cold and replied: "The Changsha soldiers are newly defeated, I'm afraid that I can't let General Pingyu get his wish!" ”

"Datong General Jiang Jian is anyway, and the Qing court is unable to support Huguang anymore, so the imperial court is ready to move Huguang to fight."

"I have my own ideas about Huguang."

Liu Suifeng was stunned for a moment and didn't speak again.

This is a rejection of people thousands of miles away! Huguang is not He Tengjiao's Huguang, it is Daming's Huguang. Besides, now that Hubei is all occupied by the Qing captives, what qualifications does He Tengjiao have to say that he has his own ideas.

After understanding He Tengjiao's attitude, Liu left with the wind. He Tengjiao regarded Huguang as his own territory, but he was afraid that Zhai Zhe would recover Wuchang, and he would not be happy.

With Liu Suifeng's understanding of the Ming officialdom, he didn't expect it to be smooth sailing. In addition to the governor He Tengjiao of Huguang, there is also the governor of Huguang, who is blocked by Yinxi.

Not long after Du Yinxi returned to Changsha, there were only 20,000 soldiers and horses left in the hundreds of thousands of troops under Jingzhou City. After the defeat at the city of Jingzhou, he was forced to retreat to eastern Sichuan, and the loyal battalion was attacked unguarded, suffering heavy losses. Li Guo was extremely angry and was unwilling to lead his troops back to Changsha, so he could only take Ma Jinzhong to come back first.

I found an inn to live in first, and Liu Suifeng was not in a hurry to see Du Yinxi. He has only seen He Tengjiao, and now he must be targeted, if he is rejected by Gao Yinxi again, things will not be easy to do. None of the governors and governors of the Ming Dynasty can get along well, and when the two sides overlap too much and disagree, there will inevitably be contradictions.

He first had to figure out what he wanted, so that he could come to the door with the right chips. Huguang was nominally under the command of He Tengjiao, and Emperor Longwu trusted this person very much, and he expected that it was unlikely that the Pinglu General's Mansion would have a good relationship with this person.

After three or four days, the secret camp sent him a detailed piece of information. The power of the business alliance has been scattered in the north and south of the river, and the combination of the secret camp and the business alliance has become a pervasive weapon.

There are 200,000 soldiers and horses in Hunan, in addition to the remnants of the Dashun army, such as Ma Jinzhong, who followed closely behind Yinxi, was Zuo Liangyu's subordinate, and He Tengjiao's newly recruited supervision camp has more than 40,000 people.

I couldn't hear such grotesque news in Jiangnan, and only when I came to Huguang in person did I know why He Tengjiao failed.

Liu Suifeng understood why the Loyal Battalion refused to go east.

After the defeat of Du Yinxi under the city of Jingzhou, He Tengjiao was not in a hurry but happy. The governor and his staff Zhang Kuang never gave up their hatred of the Great Shun Rogue, and even called him a thief during the military discussion. However, when the Dashun army first asked for surrender, he personally went to his camp to meet Li Zicheng's former queen Mrs. Gao, and only then did he successfully reorganize the remnants of Li Guo into a loyal battalion.

After the Qing court captured Jiangnan, the Hongguang Dynasty's Lianqing exterminator had been personally ordered by Emperor Longwu to become a joint captive to resist the Qing Dynasty, which led to the adaptation of the loyalty battalion. However, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty could not eliminate the discrimination against the Dashun army for a while and a half, and even wanted to use the hands of the Qing captives to eliminate the remnants of the Dashun.

There are more than 100,000 remnants of the Dashun army, most of whom are veterans who have fought for many years, and as long as they are slightly rectified, they will be a strong army with good combat effectiveness.

Liu Suifeng moved his thoughts, if he could recruit these people to General Pingyu's mansion, Huguang would be at his fingertips.

He first wrote a letter to Zhai Zhe to inform Huguang's form, and decided not to see Plug Yinxi first, but to go west to Kuidong. The war in Huguang could not end in a day or two, Hao Shaoqi followed He Tengjiao with all his heart, and the most appealing person in the Dashun army was Li Zicheng's widow, Mrs. Gao.

After the envoy of General Pingyu left the city, he disappeared.

He Tengjiao received the news from the officials, and there was a sour taste in his heart.

Zhai Zhe was just the chief soldier of Ning Shao a year ago, and today he is crowned king. The comparison between the two battles in Jiangnan and Huguang made him lose face in Daming.

"The Qing court has seventy or eighty thousand horses in Hubei, and there are also Eight Banners Jurchen guards, I want to see how capable General Pingyu is!"
