The Dashun army turned over the mountains and seas in the people's and officials' mansions in the capital, looking for Chongzhen's whereabouts, and for the time being, they didn't think that Chongzhen would hide under their noses, or garrison the military camp near Bauhinia City, Chongzhen and Wang Chengen were also getting by, because the whole city was looking for them, and they were full of food and drink in the barracks, regardless of what was going on outside the barracks.

Ling Jingyang and the three of them slept until the next morning, and the general barracks of each department of the Dashun Army had sentries on duty, and Ling Jingyang didn't know this regulation, but after the roll call, he suddenly thought of something, so he hurriedly brought all the silver and the previous things in the room.

Then he came to report to Zhang Shun about the work of burying the body yesterday, and while saying that when burying the body, he picked up some valuable things, and put the silver and gold and silver jewelry on Zhang Shun's table.

Zhang Shun glanced at him with his eyes, and at first he didn't think about it, thinking that Ling Jingyang honored him according to the custom, which was an unwritten rule in the army.

But then he was a little surprised, he should give him all the silver he asked for from Zhang Jinyan's house before for Ling Jingyang, Zhang Shun is the Great Shun Army, or the Boss Shun Army, but he is also a human being, how can anyone not like silver?

He deliberately grimaced on the surface, cleared his throat, and said, "Ling Jingyang, you are so bold, where did all this silver come from?" ”

Ling Jingyang smiled and said nothing, Zhang Shunhu continued with a grimace: "I will give all this silver to Lord Duwei, and what about your subordinates?" Why are there three fewer people in the roll call this morning? ”

"My lord, those three people went out to drink last night, and they never returned, and these silver were found from under the bed of those three people, and there are still some blood stains on this silver, and the general thinks that these three thieves killed people and robbed the goods, so..."

Zhang Shun's face changed in an instant, and then he said: "These three thieves returned to the camp and slaughtered them, so you can go back if you have nothing to do." ”

Ling Jingyang turned his head and left, but Zhang Shun said: "In a few days, I will be promoted to the head of the flag, and you have to fight hard for the position of the head of the department." ”

Ling Jingyang's eyes widened, he came to honor Zhang Shun, just to have a good relationship, but Zhang Shun wanted to seek him a position as the head of the department, there are ten sentry heads under the head of the department, and there are more than 120 people, which means that after he is promoted to the head of the department, at least he has a descendant of his own lineage.

He turned his head and said respectfully: "Ministry Commander, no matter where you are, the last general and the last general's subordinates are all at your disposal." ”

What Zhang Shun wants is the effect of Ling Jingyang's allegiance, because the military system of the Dashun Army is different from that of the Ming Army, and the commanders have two subordinate flags, each of which leads five subordinates.

He was promoted to the head of the flag, and he will also lead five department heads, he recommended Ling Jingyang to take over his position as head of the department, and the other four department heads are his usual colleagues, on the surface convinced, but secretly they are still quite uneven, everyone is the head of the department, why are you promoted to the head of the flag, and you will have to listen to your command in the future.

And Zhang Shun couldn't blatantly recommend his confidant to replace him as the head of the department, and it happened that Ling Jingyang "met unexpectedly" at this time and sent him a lot of silver, Zhang Shun immediately thought of why not recommend Ling Jingyang?

Ling Jingyang is new, compared with other headquarters, one is the seniority, just came to the Dashun Army, but also just a sentry general, although it was promoted to the general of the ministry on the third day, but this is not without precedent, many Ming generals who brought troops to take refuge, what was the level before, and now it is still the same level, no one objects to this.

The second is that Ling Jingyang is very sensible, last night there were five sentinels who came to honor him, but they all sent some cooked food and broken silver, and there was also a miser, who brought him a bowl of beef noodles, saying that it was more replenished in spring.

Zhang Shun was very dissatisfied with these subordinates, one by one, they regarded wealth as their lives, buried the corpses yesterday, and their subordinates ate their mouths full of oil, he thought that his subordinates were sensible and would respect him well.

But these subordinates only gave him such a little silver, and a few sentry generals didn't come to visit him, in comparison, Ling Jingyang was much more sensible, generous, and a material for doing big things.

Of course, the most important point is that Ling Jingyang repeatedly protected him from sneak attacks by the Ming army in yesterday's battle, so that he could kill several Ming soldiers one after another, which is also an important reason why the lieutenant appreciated him and promoted him to be the head of the flag, so he also promoted Ling Jingyang and let Ling Jingyang go to a high place with him.

"You go back and pick a few subordinates, don't be the head of the department, and there are not many trustworthy brothers under your hands."

"Order"

Ling Jingyang returned to the room full of joy, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Wang Chengen kneading Chongzhen's shoulder.

Suddenly, a trace of unhappiness flashed on his face, Chongzhen and Wang Chengen saw that Ling Jingyang's face was not good, Wang Chengen stopped his movements and asked, "Mr. Ling Sentinel, your complexion is not good, is your body unwell?" ”

"I see that you two are impatient, when did you rub his shoulders, do you want others to know that you two are masters and slaves?"

"Your Majesty is a little tired these days, isn't the slave family pinching Your Majesty?"

Wang Chengen is Chongzhen's most loyal minion, Ling Jingyang snorted coldly: "There is no Long Live Lord here, and there is no Grand Duke, only Leng Pang and Wang En, you are just two small soldiers, let me see this again, break your hand, and see how you knead him." ”

Chongzhen's mouth was crooked, and he scolded: "The surname is Ling, you are just a small captain, and you are also the lowest-level general among the thieves, you actually talk to me like this, I think you are a big rebel, and you should be punished by the Nine Clans." ”

After finishing speaking, Chongzhen himself was a little stunned, and he couldn't wait to give himself two slaps, he is now a real loner, how can he have the ability to kill the nine clans of Ling Jingyang.

As long as Ling Jingyang is willing, he can now give him to Li Zicheng and make him the king of the captured country.

Wang Chengen was so frightened that he knelt down for Ling Jingyang, and said that he was not good, which made the two of them angry, and the two of them looked frightened, and Ling Jingyang accepted it when he saw it.

He closed the door and said to the two: "If you want to live, you must keep a low profile, but you can't stuff the gourd, but you must develop in a low profile." ”

Chongzhen was a little puzzled, and asked Ling Jingyang what he meant, Ling Jingyang glanced at him, didn't bother to deal with him, and continued: "I just gave the silver to Zhang Shun, and I wanted to be familiar with him. ”

Chongzhen sighed and said, "Oh, aren't you just familiar with your face?" ”

"Hmph, the face is familiar, but Zhang Shun is about to be promoted to the head of the flag, and his position as the head of the department will be vacant, he intends to recommend me to take over as the head of the department, the Dashun army is now strong and strong, and there are many vacancies in the army, Zhang Shun will take office in a few days, at that time I am the head of the battalion headquarters, and you two will choose one person to take over my post general position."

"Hmph, a rebel sentry is always a thief, let me be, I am not rare."

When Ling Jingyang heard Chongzhen mention the word "I", he became angry and said viciously: "I repeat, if you want to open and close your mouth again, I will cut your tongue now, do you believe it or not?" ”

Chongzhen closed his mouth, He also knew that this was Ling Jingyang protecting him, Ling Jingyang saw that he didn't speak, and said: "This post must be our people, and it is convenient to break away from the Dashun army in the future, so one of you must have one person to stand up and serve as this post commander." ”

Wang Chengen saw that Chongzhen was silent, and said, "I'll come." ”

"You can't do it, you have more than Your Majesty to show up, and there are countless soldiers who know you, so you really can't be the head of this sentry."

Ling Jingyang did not mean to mock Wang Chengen, Wang Chengen was a eunuch, with a white face and no beard, and often rewarded the army for Chongzhen, whether it was the minister of civil and military affairs of the imperial court, or local officials and ordinary soldiers, many people knew him.

"That's me. I'll do it anyway. ”

Chongzhen really didn't have the courage to agree to take over as the head of the whistle, Ling Jingyang had this intention, he just wanted to kill Chongzhen's prestige, let him realize how dangerous it is now, be cautious, but is Chongzhen really suitable?

"It's decided first, after Zhang Shun is promoted to the head of the flag in a few days, I'll see if I can let you take over, if you can, it's up to you, if not, then change someone, in short, this post must always be our own people."

After Ling Jingyang and the two of them were ventilated, he began to be familiar with the inside of the Dashun Army, whether it was the establishment of the battalion army or the internal discipline of the Dashun Army, he had to understand a thing or two, so as not to be like a fool and still know nothing about it.

The method he is familiar with is also very simple, that is, to go to other sentinels, because yesterday let the other sentinels make a fortune together, so the sentinels are quite polite to him, and several Daming sentinels are even more brothers and sisters with him.

Ling Jingyang also knew that these were all fake, if they hadn't made a fortune together yesterday, these people would ignore him, but the fake would have to come true, Ling Jingyang and the whistle always chatted, and finally learned a lot of information about the Dashun Army, such as the regulations of the barracks, the number of soldiers in the battalion, and the future battle plan.

Because everyone is the general sentinel, I learned that the intelligence is not very advanced, but Ling Jingyang still got an important information from it, that is, the Dashun army is about to send troops in two ways, all the way to attack Baoding Mansion, and all the way north to Shanhaiguan.

It is very dangerous to go to Baoding Mansion, the remnants of Baoding Mansion are defeated, not to mention whether they can block the attack of the Dashun army, the entire Beizhili, and even most of the area north of the Yangtze River are in the sphere of influence of the Dashun army, and going to Baoding Mansion to besiege the Ming army is tantamount to bringing Chongzhen to the Huokengli area, and there is only one way left, it seems that the only way is to go to Shanhaiguan.

However, Wu Sangui had not completely fallen to the Manchu Qing at this time, and the Qing army had not yet moved, Ling Jingyang had an impulse at an instant, that is, to tell Li Zicheng about Wu Sangui's surrender to the Manchus, so that Li Zicheng could be prepared, so as not to be defeated by Wu Sangui and the Qing army in the battle of a stone, and then retreated to the capital in a hurry, and left in a hurry, and was beaten by the Manchu army from the capital to the northwest.

In the end, Ling Jingyang still gave up the plan to meet Li Zicheng, not to mention that he was a small sentinel, even if he was Li Zicheng's confidant, at this time, when he told Li Zicheng that Wu Sangui surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, no one would believe it, and he would be ridiculed and suppressed by other civil and military generals.

After thinking about this, Ling Jingyang actually had a strong urge to climb up, because he was now a sentry commander, the lowest-level general in the Dashun Army, and in front of the high-level leaders of the Dashun Army, his words had no weight.
