Chapter 477: The Battle of Jiangbei (8)

Zhang Shun and He Zhen glanced at each other and said in unison.

"We would like to honor Lord Shangshu."

Zhang Jinyan finally tore off his disguise, and his eyes lit up.

"Okay, well, since the two of you are so open-minded, how can I, Zhang Jinyan, live up to your wishes, I can do this...

He asked Zhang Shun and He Zhen to lean their heads over and whispered in their ears, and He Zhen and Zhang Shun kept nodding their heads in agreement.

In the end, Zhang Jinyan raised his neck, returned to his previous demeanor, and said, "It's decided." ”

A conspiracy began, Zhang Jinyan thought it was seamless, but he didn't know that Zhang Shun and He Zhen in front of him had already sold him, He Zhen walked out of Zhang Jinyan's mansion, and left Zhang Jinyan with fifty personal soldiers to protect his safety.

"The Great Age of Genes"

He Zhen's personal soldiers gave Zhang Jinyan infinite imagination, and he decided to immediately launch a rebellion, so He Zhen led his troops to kidnap Ling Jingyang and surrender to the Qing army.

This is a great achievement, maybe the Manchurian will let him serve as the secretary of the military department, that night he got up from the bed, specially retired a letter, let the soldiers send a congratulatory Zhen, and told He Zhen to wait for the opportunity to send this handwritten letter to the Qing army outside the city.

The letter had just been delivered to He Zhen, and He Zhen immediately sent it to Ling Jingyang, Ling Jingyang didn't open the letter, he could think of the content of the letter, if Zhang Jinyan played a little clever in the letter, wouldn't it be a waste of his previous efforts.

He and He Zhen said: "Go out of the city tonight, send the letter to the Qing army, tomorrow Er and others pretend to tie me up, respect Zhang Jinyan as the master, lure the Qing army into the city, ambush the city to destroy the Qing army that fell into the city." ”

Zhang Shun said disdainfully on the side: "My lord, this Zhang Jinyan is really a mongrel, if we can still hold on, he will surrender, and I will kill him with a knife." ”

"This dog will be killed in the future, and it is the Qing soldiers who are going to be killed at the moment, you hurry up and act, and the Japanese governor will let all the soldiers and horses cooperate with you tomorrow."

After He Zhen and Zhang Shun left, Ling Jingyang summoned the generals of all departments and told everyone about the plan, everyone heard that Zhang Jinyan surrendered, they all showed great indignation, Wang Guangshu was even more ashamed, they still respected Zhang Jinyan as the leader of the alliance before, now think about it, how can they recognize this person as the leader of the alliance.

Ling Jingyang issued an ambush order, and the soldiers and horses of the various departments arranged an ambush in the city, and the Qing army launched an ambush as soon as possible after entering the city, and ordered the artillery battalion to prepare for war in the south of the city

will throw a rat bogey, and dare not bombard Jiuliguan.

Tonight, Ling Jingyang continued to let the soldiers in the city go out of the city to surrender, and then asked He Zhen to send Zhang Jinyan's handwritten letter.

He Zhen decided to deliver the letter in person, Ling Jingyang wanted him to go to another person, but He Zhen was not worried about others going, he mixed with the deserters, hung himself from the city wall in the middle of the night, and ran towards the Qing army camp.

A group of deserters came to the Qing army barracks, and the Qing army was on the way south, and there were so many such troops that a green battalion soldier always carried a big knife and drove the deserters to an abandoned barracks.

The first time to surrender the Ming army was to shave their hair, He Zhen shaved his hair here, and after shaving his hair, he suddenly stood up, and said to the general: "I am the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and I have something important to report to the commander of your army." ”

The Ming army who surrendered a lot, but there were not many surrendered soldiers, and he saw that He Zhen didn't seem to be telling a lie, so he took He Zhen to see his superiors.

His superior was a general manager, and when he saw that he brought a person who claimed to be the chief soldier, he didn't dare to slack off, and took He Zhen to meet the leader of the Eight Banners, and the leader of the Eight Banners looked at He Zhen and asked, "Are you the chief soldier of the Ming Kingdom?" ”

This leader knows Mingling, He Zhen hurriedly replied to him, he is Zhang Shun, the chief soldier under the Governor of the Five Armies of the Ming Dynasty, he did not indicate that he was He Zhen this time, but surrendered in the name of Zhang Shun, after all, he surrendered to the Qing army before, and then anyway, if he showed that this was his identity, he would be cut with a knife.

And looked at his chest, which meant that there was a letter, Mr. Qian took the letter out of his chest and handed it to Zuo Ling, who opened it and saw that it was a letter written by Zhang Jinyan himself.

He didn't dare to slack off, so he tied He Zhen up left and right, and then went to see Aobai.

Ao Bai lived in the camp of the Chinese army, and the accompanying Bao Yi built him a house, Ao Bai went to bed early tonight, and Zuo Ling took He Zhen to the Chinese army, and talked about the generals on duty tonight, tonight there are Ming Army commanders and former military departments Shangshu intends to surrender, he does not dare to make his own opinions, and asks to meet the capital.

The general on duty also knew that this matter was very important, and asked Zuo Ling to take He Zhen to the Chinese army to meet Aobai.

Sagar came to the house and waited outside the door.

The soldiers came to the door and knocked softly outside.

Ao Bai has been in the army for many years, and the light sound woke him up, he jumped up from the bed, looked outside, and asked.

"Who?"

The soldier replied to him: "Both."

Unity, Hehu Zuo Ling to meet you. ”

Hehu is a leader with a white flag, this is a brave and good general, he came tonight, there must be something important, Ao Bai let the soldiers bring Hehu in.

Under the guidance of his own soldiers, Hehu entered the room, respectfully and bowed to Ao, and said that the general soldiers of the Ming army had surrendered tonight.

In the eyes of the leader, the general soldier is indeed a senior general, but in the eyes of Aobai, it is no more than that, especially the general soldier of the Jiangnan Ming Army, which is not as valuable as it was more than ten years ago.

"A mere general soldier, is it worth shouting at you?"

Seeing that Ao Bai was dissatisfied, Hehu said again: "Dutong, this person brought a letter written by Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the Ming Army. ”

"Oh, show me, by the way, bring me the general soldier too."

While reading the letter, Hehu also asked his subordinates to bring He Zhen in, after reading the letter, Ao Bai looked at He Zhen again, and asked, "Are you the chief soldier of the Ming Kingdom?" ”

"Yes, I am the chief soldier under the command of Ling Jingyang, the governor of the five armies of the Ming Kingdom, and I voluntarily surrendered to the Qing Kingdom on the order of Zhang Shangshu."

Ao Bai has long known about Zhang Jinyan, who is respected by local forces as the so-called leader of the anti-Qing alliance, but he does not dare to be the leader of the alliance, and he has long been in contact with Daqing.

The Qing army lost a large number of soldiers and horses in the attack on Jiuli Pass, although most of the dead were green battalion soldiers, Ao Bai was not heartbroken, but the number of troops under his command was not much, as the main general of the first army, Ao Bai still had some mustard in his heart.

He asked the translator to ask He Zhen, how many soldiers and horses are there in Jiuliguan?

He Zhen replied that there were 900 cavalry and more than 6,000 archers and infantry in Jiuliguan.

"Is there artillery?"

"Lord Hui, the artillery of the Ming Kingdom is not strong, and there are only some small cannons such as tiger squat cannons."

Ao Bai nodded, he attacked Jiuliguan for several days, and the Ming army did not return fire with artillery, thinking that the Ming army did not have artillery.

He also saw in Zhang Jinyan's handwritten letter that Zhang Jinyan decided to tie up Ling Jingyang tomorrow and open the city gate to welcome the Qing army into the city.

He didn't choose to trust Zhang Jinyan and He Zhen easily, but he didn't completely deny Zhang Jinyan's surrender heart, he looked at He Zhen's shaved hair, and suddenly said: "Tomorrow Zhang Jinyan opens the city gate, and you lead the surrendered troops into the city." ”

He Zhen was immediately appointed as the chief soldier, and the troops under his command were all surrendered generals of the Jiuliguan surrendered troops.
