Chapter 268: Conquering the City (2)

Gao Jie's eyes rose upward, he was indeed a little interested, but his face was still lukewarm: "Ling Dudu, you and I met in Pingshui, and you want to use 5,000 grain and grass to buy me tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to betray the Ming Dynasty, and also tempt our army to go to war with the Qing army, do you think I am a naughty boy?" ”

"General Gao is not betraying the Ming Dynasty, but returning to orthodoxy, everyone knows that the true son of heaven is still alive, and His Majesty in Tianfu will abdicate and let the true son of heaven inherit the canon."

"Hmph, you said your majesty is real, he is real? Hell, do you know where you got someone to impersonate? ”

Ling Jingyang was waiting for Gao Jie's words, he and Yue Ling made a look, and Yue Ling went out.

Yue Ling's abnormal behavior made Gao Jie think that Ling Jingyang was going to kill the killer, so he stood up and wanted to fight with Ling Jingyang, but Ling Jingyang smiled and said: "Mr. Gao, do you think that Ling is going to harm you?" ”

"Surnamed Ling, don't deceive people too much, if you kill me, even if my tens of thousands of soldiers and horses die, I will skin you alive."

In history, after his death, Gao Jie's troops were divided, and most of them surrendered to the Qing army, everyone could see that Gao Jie trusted his subordinates very much, and Ling Jingyang did not mean to kill him, but admired the courage of this person's Northern Expedition, but was just interested in why Gao Jie sent troops to Jiangbei?

"Mr. Gao, Ling thought you were a man, why did you hurt the killer? It's just that Ling doesn't understand, why did Mr. Gao lead the troops to the Northern Expedition, this is a job that thousands of people spurned, can Mr. Gao give us guidance? ”

poked Gao Jie's pain point again, Gao Jie had such an illusion that these Chongzhen court generals were all sour Xiucai, and he was so angry that his chest hurt.

"Gao is obsessed with ghosts and has been sold by some people."

Ling Jingyang knew very well the virtue of the group of human infighting essences in the Hongguang Imperial Court, and deliberately said: "Who sold it?" ”

"Sold by some villains, Ling Dudu, you and I are both men of bloody wars, so sarcastic about me, are you still a gentleman?"

Seeing that Gao Jie was a little angry, Ling Jingyang did not continue to ridicule him.

"If you are not happy in Yingtianfu, don't force it, you are an outlier in Yingtianfu, in order not to be excluded, you serve Inspector Shi as the commander, but Inspector Shi was not also squeezed out of the court by Ma Shiying, but I heard that Inspector Shi adopted the strategy of uniting and leveling the Kou, isn't it?"

The generals present have been in Shanxi for most of the year, and Beizhili has fought with the Qing army, and they do not understand the strategy of the Hongguang court, and it is the first time to hear Ling Jingyang's remarks.

Looking at it now, the group of people in the Hongguang Imperial Court, who have no discipline, and the Qing army joined forces to attack the Dashun Army, which is already short-sighted, and now they are attacking the Chongzhen Imperial Court, which is not short-sighted, but a group of straw bales.

Unlike the generals of the Chongzhen system, Gao Jie set off a shocking wave in his heart, how did Ling Jingyang know the strategy of Shi Inspector Pingkou, but he was not a child, he was coaxed by Ling Jingyang in a few words, and Ling Jingyang said: "Ling Dudu, isn't Lianyu Pingkou the best choice?" ”

"General Gao, if the Qing army unifies Jiangbei and crosses the Yangtze River to attack Yingtianfu, will you, as well as Zuo Liangyu, Liu Zeqing and other military leaders resist?"

Ling Jingyang deliberately said this, just to provoke Gao Jie and other military towns to contradict each other, Gao Jie and

Huang Degong is a sworn enemy, and the other two Liu have no discipline, when the Qing army went south, the second Liu was like a mouse seeing a cat, but he could fight his own people, but he was alive and well, Gao Jie was different from them, and he was still a little bloody.

Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo were spineless, and Gao Jie also looked down on them: "Listen to the governor, say a thousand ways and ten thousand, don't you want me and the Qing army to die, do you sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman?" ”

"No, no, as long as General Gao is willing to come over, I will meet the saint and promote you as the secretary of the military department, the fiefdom of Zezhou, Huaiqing Mansion, is this good?"

Gao Jie thought about it for a while, Zezhou and Huaiqing Mansion are adjacent to each other, but one is in Shanxi and the other is in Henan, but these two places are far away from the territory of the Dashun Army, but they are too close to the Qing army, Ao Bai is stationed in Pingyang Mansion next door to Zezhou, and uses Pingyang Mansion as the basic plate to attack Tongguan in Shaanxi.

He hesitated a little, Ling Jingyang figured out his thoughts, and once again told him about the Qing army, the Dashun army, and the Ming army in Jiangbei, and they couldn't let one family dominate, otherwise the other two would be annihilated sooner or later.

"Ling also knows that Mr. Gao and Li Zicheng have a holiday, but this is a personal grudge, to let the Qing army break through Tongguan, the Dashun army will once again become a rogue Kou, the Qing army will unify Jiangbei, absorb the surrender army, will become an invincible force all over the world, Ying Tianfu small court is in the eyes of the people, the side of the couch allows others to sleep peacefully in the Southern Dynasty."

All the generals nodded one after another, clapping their hands and applauding to echo Ling Jingyang, Gao Jie looked at this group of generals who didn't know where they came from, he had never heard of Ling Jingyang before, as if this group of people rose in the wilderness and broke the ground in an instant after a spring rain.

But he still couldn't easily switch sides, at this time, Yue Ling came in from outside the door with a person, and everyone looked at it, it turned out to be His Majesty Chongzhen.

Although Chongzhen is a puppet, he still has to do enough work on the surface, Ling Jingyang took the lead in standing up, and other generals also followed in his footsteps and stood up to meet Zhu Youzhen.

Gao Jie's eyes were straight, and his body was trembling a little, it was really Your Majesty, he stammered and said to Zhu Youzhen: "Minister Gao Jie, please see Your Majesty." ”

"Mr. Gao, get up."

After seeing Zhu Youzhen, Gao Jie no longer hesitated, knelt down for Zhu Youzhen again, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister was defeated by Li Thief and was forced to retreat to Jiangnan, and he didn't save His Majesty in time, so that His Majesty was humiliated, and the minister should die." ”

"Mr. Gao, the capital was broken by Li Thief, it's not that your army can turn the tide, it's that I have failed the world, this time you came to Shanxi, you should have been confused by Zhu Yousong's group, I don't blame you."

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to raise troops to the south, and make another change of Jingjing to regain the throne for Your Majesty."

Zhu Youzhen did not express his opinion, on the way to Lu'anzhou, Ling Jingyang had a long talk with him, Ling Jingyang asked him to come forward to recruit Gao Jie, Zhu Youzhen did not refuse, Ling Jingyang asked Gao Jie to be appointed as the chief soldier, if Gao Jie was not satisfied, he would crown Gao Jie as the king.

I heard that Gao Jie was going to be the king, Zhu Youzhen did not say anything, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there is only a prince surnamed Zhu, but there is no king with a different surname, if this is an opening, it will not take long for the king with a different surname to appear in various places in the world, but Ling Jingyang said a word to him lightly.

"The Manchus have made the Ming rebel the king with a different surname, and his strength has increased greatly, and he is still happy that these kings with different surnames are also bowing to the Manchus and doing their best, how can you be so stingy, you have to wait until the Manchus kill you Zhu

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The king of the family domain, you don't have to itch to make the opposite sex the king, at that time, even if someone is willing to become your king with a different surname, it is just an addiction. ”

Zhu Youzhen let out a long sigh, in the past ten years, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have killed how many Zhu family vassal kings, this full of people entered the customs, and there was another bloody storm, and if they continue to kill, there are not many people left in the Zhu family.

In the end, he agreed to Ling Jingyang, but first gave Gao Jie the book of the military department, Gao Jie disagreed, so he named him the king, and the two of them decided like this, as for other things, Zhu Youzhen ignored them and let Ling Jingyang play freely.

When he saw Gao Jie, he was very pleased that Gao Jie asked to return, and after helping Gao Jie up, Gao Jie asked to return, he took advantage of the situation to give Gao Jie the steps, and appointed Gao Jie as the secretary of the military department, Gao Jie was stunned, and the next moment he kowtowed to Zhu Youzhen, thanking the Lord Longen.

Gao Jie decided to return to the barracks anyway, announcing to the whole world that he once again became the general of Emperor Chongzhen, and also served as the first secretary of the military department after the reorganization of the Chongzhen Dynasty.

Ling Jingyang asked people to send him grain and grass, after Gao Jie's troops saw the grain and grass, they made a very earth-shattering shout, Ling Jingyang was very polite to send Gao Outstanding military camp, on the way he said: "Gao Zongbing, no, Gao Shangshu, can lead the troops to settle in Zezhou, temporarily keep it secret and return to the imperial court, and take the Qing army by surprise." ”

This is protecting Gao Jie, Gao Jie nodded, Ling Jingyang stopped at the gate of the barracks, and asked Yue Ling to escort Gao Jie back to the army.

After Gao Jie came back, all the generals let go of their hearts to fight, he immediately summoned the generals, and told everyone that he re-entered the court of Emperor Chongzhen, and if you want to be with him, follow him to Zezhou, and if you don't want to be with him, you can take your own soldiers and leave, but only today, after today, he will not allow anyone to leave.

Most of his subordinates are willing to follow him, not that they feel that following the Chongzhen court has a future, but that they were abandoned by the Hongguang court, and they went deep alone, and if they don't surrender, the army will be dispersed.

That night, Gao Jie led his soldiers to sit upright in the center of the barracks, no matter who left the barracks, he pretended not to see, and after dawn the next day, more than 5,000 people were left from 30,000 people, and more than 15,000 people were left in the 30,000 troops.

Those who left were where the people went, he didn't care, he took the remaining soldiers, horses and people to Zezhou, the southernmost part of Shanxi.

After Ling Jingyang subdued Gao Jie, he ordered not to make a public announcement, and after sending Gao Jie away, he summoned his generals to prepare for going south to Weihui Mansion, and must seize Weihui Mansion before the main force of the Qing army returned to help, and cut off the contact between the Qing army in Henan and the Qing army in Beizhili.

In the past two months, the soldiers and horses of various units have been practicing day and night, in order to compete with the Qing army on the battlefield.

In the name of the governor of the five armies, Ling Jingyang ordered Niu Guangtian and Murong Tu to go out of Weihui Mansion to disperse the local Qing army, absorb local forces, and resist the Qing army of Zhangde Mansion to support the Qing army of Pingyang Mansion attacking Tongguan.

He also ordered the Central Army to go south to Kaifeng Prefecture to expel the local Qing garrison, and gave the Central Army the right to recruit troops in Henan, and the reserve corps to defend Fenzhou to resist the beheading tactics of the Qing army in Pingyang Province that might attack Yucicheng.

As for the Jiang brothers, Ling Jingyang did not eat alone, he asked Jiang Xuan to lead the troops and the Central Army to attack Kaifeng Mansion in the south, after capturing Kaifeng Mansion, the Central Army attacked Ruzhou to the west, captured Ruzhou, and ceded Kaifeng Mansion to Jiang Xuan.
