Fan Honghuo shook his head, he only knew that this Dashun army besieged Guangling City a few days ago, but then he didn't know what was going on, he actually surrendered to Wang Mu, saying that he wanted to have a good future, and today Wang Mu found him in the city and told him that the Dashun army wanted to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

Yasiha did not doubt it, after all, in Shanxi, people with heads and faces would know that the Fan family and the Qing Dynasty had a close relationship, and Wang Mu was able to go to the Fan family's shop to discuss this matter, and he could be regarded as a shrewd person.

"Fan Honghuo, tonight, you go to probe the wind, and by the way, touch the details of this army, don't be deceived by the Dashun army."

Fan Honghuo learned the etiquette of the Manchurians, half-kneeling - chirp.

That night, Fan Honghuo came to Wang Mu's mansion with some pastries and some silver, Wang Mu had already prepared a banquet and waited for Fan Honghuo to come, and Ling Jingyang came forward directly this time to deal with Fan Honghuo.

Because his forces are very scattered, to temporarily gain Fan Honghuo's trust, and then gradually get closer to the Qing army, become the Qing army garrison in Guangling County, and wait until the Qing army goes south to Taiyuan Mansion, he will raid the logistics of the Qing army in Guangling County, if he can force the rebels to do it anyway, the force is strong enough, he will lead the army to smash Huanglong, and raid the rebel base camp Datong City.

He and Wang Mu personally went to the door to greet Fan Honghuo, Fan Honghuo looked at the young general on Wang Mu's side, thought that this person should be the general of the Dashun Army, stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, who is this general?" ”

"Oh, this is General Ling, General Ling knows the way back, and I also ask the shopkeeper Fan to bring more connections to General Ling, so that the Lingjing Army can make contributions to the Qing Dynasty as soon as possible."

"General Ling is really a talent, I have such a good general in the Qing Dynasty, and the unification of the world is just around the corner."

Fan Honghuo completely regarded himself as a Manchurian, Ling Jingyang and Wang Mu were disgusted, but they were still smiling on the surface.

The three of them staggered at the dinner table, Wang Mu let Fan Honghuo drink to the fullest, asked Jiang Tai to come over to the training bureau, Ling Jingyang also asked Murong Tu to accompany the wine, the five of them drank until midnight, and finally reached an agreement on the wine table.

Ling Jingyang was willing to lead his soldiers and horses as the vanguard of the Qing Dynasty, and Fan Honghuo finally knew the number and number of Ling Jingyang's troops, and he promised Ling Jingyang that he would report to his master when he went back, and bring him a reply three days later.

When he went out, Ling Jingyang suddenly stood up and said to him, "Shopkeeper Fan, please stay." ”

This scared Fan Honghuo a lot, he thought that Ling Jingyang was going to kill him, but Ling Jingyang gave him a box of silver.

"Here are five hundred taels of silver, it's a Fan shopkeeper's hard silver, and everyone will be friends in the future."

Fan Honghuo verbally said no, but he still took the silver, returned to the store with the silver, and came to the basement again to meet Yasiha, Yashiha has not rested so late, who is waiting for his reply.

Fan Honghuo looked proud, and gave a small half of the silver given to him by Ling Jingyang, who was not a saint, and saw a hundred taels of silver on the table, and said with a smile: "You dog slave, do you have more silver in your pocket than mine?" ”

Fan Honghuo hurriedly said that the generals of the Dashun Army only gave one hundred and twenty taels of silver, and he gave the big head to the master, and the rest of the silver was used for business.

Fan Honghuo told him all the information he had learned about the Dashun Army, and the Dashun Army was not small, saying that it was Ling Jingyang, the left mighty general of the rear camp, with more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, and the equipment was also excellent, and it looked like an elite soldier.

"Powerful team, isn't it even more powerful than Guan Ningjun?"

Fan Honghuo is a businessman, where does he understand this, he just saw that Ling Jingyang and the others were in good spirits, and he felt that this Shun army was quite combative.

"What else are you talking to them?"

"The slave told him to write back in three days."

Yasiha thought about it, three days was a little longer, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, he asked Fan Honghuo to bring his appointment tomorrow night.

Appointing Ling Jingyang as the deputy general of Ulzhou, paying three months' military salary, and returning enough grain and grass, speaking of which, he paused for a moment, and finally added a point, and ordered Ling Jingyang to lead his troops to Andong Zhongtunwei to assemble, and put this army into the attacking troops that went south to Taiyuan Province.

"Master, isn't this a bit abrupt?"

Fan Honghuo thought that Yashiha was a little big, but Yashiha said that this is very common, how many Ming troops rebelled along the way, as long as they gave silver and grain and grass, these Ming troops attacked the Dashun army like crazy, which is also the Qing army can defeat the Dashun army after entering the customs, and the Dashun army will give up Beizhili and other places, and over time, there will be more and more Ming soldiers who surrender to the Qing army, and the Qing army will also jump from a local armed force to a million male divisions.

Yasiha actually wanted to grant Ling Jingyang the commander-in-chief of the Ulzhou, but he did not have enough authority, and Dolgon only gave him the right to appoint the deputy commander-in-chief of the subordination area, and the commander-in-chief only had the authority to appoint the commander and above.

He thought that Ling Jingyang would accept the deputy commander-in-chief, that is, the deputy general of Ulzhou, but Ling Jingyang had a great appetite, and the Tian family came back from Datong City to further communicate with Fan Guangjin, the Fan family branch in Datong City, and needed a general military officer, and 50,000 taels of silver and 4,000 stones of grain and grass.

Fan Guangjin's boss in Datong City was a general at the level of Zuo Ling, and the Tian family returned to Datong City and told Fan Guangjin the conditions proposed by Ling Jingyang, and Fan Guangjin told Zuo Ling that Zuo Ling refused the condition of the Ulzhou General Army, because they did not have this authority, but in other aspects, they were all satisfied.

Ling Jingyang held two cards in his hand, and after Fan Honghuo went back, he ordered Fang Xiaoyan to take the clothed soldiers to follow on the roofs on both sides of the road of Fan's shop, Fang Xiaoyan reported every move of Fan's shop to Ling Jingyang, from Fang Xiaoyan's intelligence, Ling Jingyang found that Fan Honghuo had never left the store, but he said that he would give a reply three days later, and Ling Jingyang immediately smiled.

He said to Murong Tu: "Murong Tu, you select elite soldiers and quietly surround Fan's shop, I estimate that there is Fan Honghuo's master inside." ”

Murong Tu hurriedly went to the army to select soldiers, his old subordinates were still quite combative, and selected dozens of soldiers who were absolutely trustworthy, changed into ordinary people's clothes, and quietly lived near the Fan family's shop.

After making all the preparations, the next evening, Fan Honghuo suddenly walked out of the shop and came to the military camp where Ling Jingyang was, this time he bypassed Wang Mu and contacted Ling Jingyang directly.

When he came to the barracks, Ling Jingyang was very enthusiastic and asked Wen Yuanyang to make him tea, Fan Honghuo looked at Wen Yuanyang's fully armed dress, a little strange, in such a hot weather, how could this soldier be so well armed, and he was not afraid of suffocation? ”

"Shopkeeper Fan, isn't it three days later?"

"General Ling, my master attaches great importance to it, and specially asked me to bring you a message, agreeing that you are the deputy chief soldier of Ulzhou, your soldiers and horses are still your soldiers and horses, and you have food, grass and military salaries, but there is one more condition.
