Chapter 248: Hongguang Soldiers and Horses (1)

The Qing army won a complete victory in Datong Mansion, Jiang Hao was forced to have no choice, personally led the troops to Yanmen Pass, and wanted to have a hard encounter with the Qing army here, but the Qing army always ignored him, tens of thousands of troops rested in Datong City, stunned to go south to Taiyuan Mansion, and did not attack Shaanxi to the west, the behavior of the Qing army made Jiang Hao confused.

Jiang Hao was confused, Ling Jingyang was not confused, he was waiting for Mi Shengguang to come back.

In the foggy weather, Mi Shengguang took grain, grass and silver, escorted by the cavalry corps, and arrived in Lu'an Prefecture in only two days, and when he was about to arrive at Yuxia Pass, Mi Shengguang asked the cavalry corps to withdraw, so as not to be eaten by the Hongguang army.

He continued to move forward with the iron fist soldiers, near the Yuxia Pass, surrounded by Li Chengdong with the troops, Mi Shengguang grovelled the whole way, after seeing Li Chengdong, he respected Li Chengdong very much, not only with Li Chengdong, but also said that he came to His Majesty Chongzhen, His Majesty understood the fatigue of the soldiers, and specially asked him to send some military salaries and grain and grass to the soldiers.

After Li Chengdong listened, his eyes rolled, and he asked the soldier to see if the cart was really silver, grain and grass, and the soldier went to look at the grain cart and the carriage, which were full of brown rice and white flowers.

The soldier came back to report to him, it was indeed grain, grass and silver, Li Chengdong's face looked better, and he also believed that Mi Shengguang was indeed His Majesty Chongzhen's person, he asked Mi Shengguang to wait here, and he went to report to Gao Jie.

Gao Jie was in the barracks, and his nephew Li Benshen was quite capable, so he sneaked back to Yangzhou City and brought his aunt and children back to the army, thanks to Shi Kefa's secret protection, and also gave Gao Jie 500 soldiers from the Yangzhou City garrison to protect Li Benshen and others.

Li Benshen was able to take Gao Jie's relatives, and the group finally went from Nanzhili to Shanxi after thousands of dangers.

After Gao Jie saw his wife and children, he couldn't calm down for a long time, Li Benshen came and went, it took at least twenty days, and after coming to Yuxia Pass, he also brought Gao Jie the latest information about Ying Tianfu.

At this time, he was reporting to Gao Jie what he had learned, not long after the army was dispatched, the jurisdiction was divided by the three towns, Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying completely turned their faces for this matter, His Majesty Hongguang did not care too much about this, and still drank and had fun in Nanjing City, and voted for women.

Hearing this, Gao Jie was furious, he led the troops to the Northern Expedition, and his hometown was stolen

Not only that, Li Benshen also told him that the warlords in other places did not respond to the Ying Tianfu court, and they were all watching the Dashun army attack the Qing army, and their lone army attacked Taiyuan Mansion.

"Hmph, a bunch of things without vision."

Gao Jie couldn't hold back any longer, and at this time, Li Chengdong asked to see him from outside the door, and Gao Jie asked him what important military information he had.

Li Chengdong replied to him with some excitement.

"The chief soldier, a person who claims to be a puppet dynasty has come, bringing more than 100 soldiers, as well as 500 stones, grain, grass and silver, saying that it is for our army as a salary, and the last general does not dare to make his own opinion, so he has come to ask the chief soldier."

"Oh, and here's it, take me to see it."

Under the guidance of Li Chengdong, Gao Jie and others came to the outside of Yuxia Pass, and they saw a middle-aged man looking at him with a smile from afar, looking very kind, Gao Jie and Li Benshen said: "Drag the grain and grass back." ”

He said to Li Chengdong again: "Bring the silver back to the barracks." ”

Erli immediately led the troops to drag the grain, grass and silver back to the barracks, Mi Shengguang let Gao Jie's soldiers drag the silver and grain and grass away, and Gao Jie always looked at him, Mi Shengguang did not show a trace of dissatisfaction, Gao Jie waited for the soldiers to leave, and then came to Mi Shengguang with his own soldiers.

Mi Shengguang was like a subordinate, greeting Gao Jie, which made Gao Jie very depressed, this person doesn't look like Emperor Chongzhen's person, let such a subordinate act as a messenger, could it be that Chongzhen's court is fake?

"Dare to ask this general, but Lord Gao?"

Mi Shengguang opened his mouth to be Master Gao, which made Gao Jie stunned, how did this person know his name?

Mi Shengguang continued to remain mysterious and enthusiastic: "General Gao, Your Majesty is in Yuci City, but every day you are talking about your righteousness and thin clouds, fighting for Your Majesty in the south and the north, and repeatedly creating thieves, these silver, grain and grass are taken out of the population of the palace by Your Majesty, and specially asked the lower officials to give them to General Gao and the soldiers to enjoy." ”

"Wait a minute, you said that Your Majesty is in Yuci City, what about Taiyuan City?"

Gao Jie didn't quite understand, Taiyuan City was not taller than Yuci City, and it was more conducive to defense, how could he choose Yuci City as a palace?

Facing Gao Jie's doubts, Mi Shengguang said to him carefully: "Taiyuan City is garrisoned by Lord Jiang, the governor of Shanxi, and he has strong soldiers and horses, which can resist the Qing army, and the Dashun army attacks Yuci City from the north. ”

"Then who's stationed in Yuci City?"

"Back to the general's words, it is the governor of the five armies, Ling Dudu, who led the troops to garrison Yuci City, and guarded His Majesty and the Minister of Chinese Martial Arts."

Gao Jie asked, "That Lingdu Governor?" ”

"Like General Gao, he used to follow the thief, and then the precipice reined in, escorted His Majesty to Taiyuan Mansion, and won His Majesty's appreciation, and he jumped from the mighty general of the thief to the governor of the five armies."

Gao Jie's heart itched when he said this, after the three towns carved up his jurisdiction, he was completely disappointed in Hongguang Dynasty, but his family was still in Yangzhou, Li Benshen took his family to Shanxi, and he had no worries in Yingtianfu, since the group of people in Yingtianfu couldn't tolerate him, why didn't he return to Chongzhen's court?

He suddenly remembered that after talking for so long, he still didn't know Mi Shengguang's name: "Dare to ask the name of the honorable surname?" ”

"Xiaguan Mi Shengguang, who used to be a businessman in Yongping Mansion, did some small business, and later worked with the governor of Lingdu, and now serves as the magistrate of Yuci County."

In fact, Mi Shengguang is not the magistrate of Yuci County at all, nor does he hold an official position in the Chongzhen Imperial Court, his own job is to assist Wang Mu to do local work, when he said this, Gao Jie touched his chin and thought about it.

"General Gao, the governor of my family has set up a feast in Yuci City, and I also invite General Gao and all the brothers to come and talk about it."

Ling Jingyang told Mi Shengguang before he set off, try Gao Jie's attitude, if Gao Jie refused, then don't go further, if Gao Jie is not too hostile, continue to go deeper, and try to persuade Gao Jie to quit.

But Gao Jie's attitude made Mi Shengguang a little overwhelmed, Gao Jie said directly: "Master Mi, my soldiers and horses are the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, and I came here to meet Your Majesty, I will send these grains and grass and military salaries to the brothers, and ask Master Mi to go back, and talk to the Governor of Lingdu, I will lead the troops to Yuci City in the near future, and please ask the Governor of Lingdu to respond." ”

After speaking, Gao Jie waved his hand, and half of his soldiers drew their swords, so Mi Shengguang was blasted back before he entered Yuxia Pass.
