Chen Yidao longed to repay the king with death, but he preferred to become a prince who defended the town, and Ling Jingyang promoted him to the chief soldier of Muling Pass to restore his confidence.

But in his opinion, this is Ling Jingyang's trust in him, and his ambition was ignited again, he saw that Li Guo and Ling Jingyang were friends of life and death, and decided to start stammering Li Guo.

Let Li Guo say good things to him, maybe the Governor will trust him more and let him have more soldiers and more power.

But before he could talk to Li Guo, Li Guo was accompanied by Ling Jingyang to rest in Muling Pass, and after the battle, Ling Jingyang specially ordered the Qing army weapons and prisoners to be brought back to the pass.

He wanted to arm the copycat soldiers and the defected rebels with weapons, and the strength of Jingyang in the fortress group increased rapidly, but the quality of the soldiers and weapons and equipment did not keep up.

Many of the rebels came to defect, and some of them picked up weapons left behind from the battlefield, most of them carrying hoes and kitchen knives, and some came with their bare hands.

There are also a small number of blacksmith shops that produce weapons, but most of the weapons produced are shoddy, and this time the Qing army was defeated, and the captured weapons were enough to equip the whole army of recruits.

This battle was loud, and the Qing army captured by the Ming army had more than 2,000 people, but Ling Jingyang was not satisfied, just like Geng Zhongming laughing at the Ming army, it was just a rout, and most of the Qing army was defeated and could return to the team in less than three days.

Most of these captives are the former Ming army, they have surrendered several times, and there is no loyalty at all, but when the wind is downwind, the combat effectiveness of this group of people will soar, and when the wind is against the wind, it is a burden, in order to enhance the strength, Ling Jingyang scattered these prisoners, and then incorporated them into various departments.

Li Guoyan was a prisoner, most of his subordinates were killed in battle, and he urgently needed to replenish the team, so he asked Ling Jingyang for some prisoners.

Ling Jingyang did not agree for the first time, on the grounds that Li Guo's headquarters had too few soldiers and horses, and he rashly accepted a large number of captive soldiers, and it was easy to be counterattacked by the captive soldiers.

Rejected by Ling Jingyang, Li Guo was a little unhappy, but his heart was quickly relieved, and that night, he came to the military camp directly under him to meet Ling Jingyang.

After meeting, he Ling Jingyang said: "Jiannu has occupied the whole of Henan, and will soon go south to Huguang. ”

The implication is that Ling Jingyang can block the attack of hundreds of thousands of Jiannu troops with such a small number of soldiers and horses

Is it?

Ling Jingyang has been operating in the fortress group for more than a month, and the defense of each fortress group has been strengthened under the golden finger, and each fortress has garrisons and sufficient grain, grass, and water sources.

It looks like it's ready, but that's not enough.

He looked at Huguang, in the south of Huguang He Tengjiao, plugging Yinxi soldiers and horses, in Jiangxi there are Hongguang soldiers and horses, in the east there are Lu Wang soldiers and horses, and in the southwest region hundreds of thousands of Ming troops.

If he can support 100,000 soldiers and horses in Deao's book, Ling Jingyang is confident that he will block the Qing army's southward strategy.

In order to resist the Qing army, Ling Jingyang asked Zhou Yuan to set off for Sichuan again, asking Wang Yingxiong to send reinforcements, and at the same time letting Li Rufeng gallop to help Hanyang, which was to set an example for the Hongguang Department and let them understand that he Ling Jingyang went south to Huguang not to compete for power and profit with the Hongguang court.

Instead, he came to repair the relationship, let the Hongguang court understand the truth of the cold of the lips and teeth, and Ling Jingyang did everything within his ability, and wanted Li Guo to resist the Qing army with him in the fortress group, but Li Guo still wanted to return to Shaanxi, after all, his old troops were in Shaanxi.

Li Guo rested in the fortress group for a day, so he took the fast horse and grain and grass given to him by Ling Jingyang, and ran to Henan Mansion.

After Ling Jingyang left, he suddenly remembered a fatal question, is Zhu Youzhen dead or alive?

Recently, the Special Bureau did not bring him information about the Chongzhen Imperial Court, and Ling Jingyang attracted Fang Xiaoyan and asked him why he didn't have Chongzhen Imperial Court information?

Fang Xiaoyan couldn't say that the Special Bureau was not a department with hands and eyes, it was not as strong as the Qing army, and it was not as strong as the Ming Jinyi Guard, and most people had more skills than ordinary people.

He said to Ling Jingyang with a bitter face: "Governor, the Chongzhen Imperial Court is at the junction of Shanxi and Henan, which is too far away for the whip commander of the Special Bureau. ”

Since the establishment of the Special Bureau, the radius of activity is a radius of 100 kilometers, and Ling Jingyang did not scold Fang Xiaoyan too much, but asked him to inquire about the Chongzhen Imperial Court as much as possible.

Fang Xiaoyan decided to go to Shanxi in person, and Ling Jingyang asked him to select his right-hand men to go down and focus on Huguang, Jiangxi and Nanzhili, not wanting them to stand up to the Qing army in front and be raided by other forces in the rear.

Fang Xiaoyan has an order,

When he returned to the Special Bureau to consider who would be suitable for him to go to Shanxi, he thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he asked Jin Tianer to go, this person is also a Fusang worker, and Mei Shaozuo is a good person.

He told Jin Tianer about the task, and Jin Tianer immediately rode a fast horse to Shanxi, which took at least half a month.

Fang Xiaoyan didn't expect Jin Tianer to bring back much information, he really couldn't bear it when he did this, Jin Tianer was courteous in front of Xu Yun, this Fusang man, when he saw the Ming woman, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to pounce.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had some ability, Fang Xiaoyan would have broken his dog's leg a long time ago and asked him to climb back to Fusang Kingdom.

Ling Jingyang sent Li Guo away, and led the army to garrison at Muling Pass, where there were several small fortresses near Muling Pass, which were used to resist the attack of the Qing army layer by layer, but the Qing army did not attack for several days.

......

In the Qing army barracks, a large group of Qing army generals gathered in front of the bed of a man with his eyes closed, this person was Geng Zhongming, who was sniped by the Ming army with a rifle, and a bullet rubbed through the scalp, taking away a small piece of skulls.

This injury was not fatal, but it made Geng Zhongming frightened, and when a small bone on the top of his head was knocked away, he thought that his Heavenly Spirit Cover had been lifted, and he lost his instincts in extreme panic.

was sent back to the barracks by his subordinates, and fell into a coma until he fell into a coma, no matter how the generals shouted, they just refused to wake up.

When Duoduo and Haoge arrived with their troops, Geng Zhongming's military camp was silent, and he thought that Geng Zhongming was counterattacked by the Dashun army, until the two entered the barracks, and the soldiers of the forward army told the two that Geng Zhongming was attacked by the Ming army and was still unconscious.

Duoduo and Hauge thought that Geng Zhongming had been seriously traumatized, so they hurriedly came to Geng Zhongming's bed, and what caught their eyes was Geng Zhongming's motionless body, and it was seen that the body was not very seriously injured.

Duoduo asked Geng Zhongming's generals, where is the wound?

"Back to the prince, overhead."

Hearing that it was an injury to the top of his head, Duoduo believed that Geng Zhongming was still in a coma, after all, the head injury was a very serious injury.

Bolo, as the prince of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, of course had to make a gesture of concern, he stepped forward to see that Geng Zhongming was a small wound on the top of his head, how could he make Geng Zhongming, who had killed countless people, bedridden?
