Chongzhen knew Wang Chengen's worries, among the four towns in Jiangbei that the Hongguang court relied on, the strongest and most capable were Gao Jie and Huang Degong, and the biggest official was Huang Chuangzi, and the other three were all counts, and Huang Degong was directly made a marquis.

Now that Gao Jie is dead, Liu Liangzuo has been defeated, Liu Zeqing has died in name, and now Nanming is actually only relying on this Huang Chuangzi, the town's soldiers and horses.

Huang Chuangzi himself is extremely brave, and has 100,000 soldiers, and there are many generals who can fight habitually, such as the chief soldier Weng Zhiqi, Tian Xiong, Ma Degong, Huang Ming, Chen Xiance, Zhang Jie, etc., all brave and good at fighting.

But these general soldiers and deputy general soldiers under him are uneven, like Huang Degong, only the chief soldiers Weng Zhiqi and Huang Ming are loyal to the imperial court, Chen Xiance and Zhang Jie are both people who see the wind and rudder to fight for power and profit, Tian Xiong and Ma Degong are even more successful, only Huang Degong can suppress them.

Historically, in 1645, when the Qing army arrived at the Yangtze River and the Hongguang court was cornered and came to their barracks, Huang Degong and others cried and worshiped on the ground, all of them were loyal, but when Huang Degong died in battle, they began to fight for the Hongguang court.

Don't get me wrong, it's definitely not for escort, but for grandstanding, and even to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

But in the end, the essence of the wall grass was exposed, Tian Xiong and Ma Degong competed, and the two directly surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with Zhu Yousong behind their backs, which put an end to the Hongguang Imperial Court and paved a road for them to seek glory in the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, Chongzhen knew the history of Huang Degong and these people, and said disapprerovingly: "Wang Daban doesn't have to worry, I have my own strategy to recruit Huang Chuangzi, it's a big deal to behead him."

When he arrived at the gate of the Guogong Mansion, Chongzhen's master and servant were stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate of the mansion.

Wang Chengen said: "This military master, my son-in-law is going to Nanjing to take the exam, passing by here, I have heard the name of the Hou Ye for a long time, and I have come to pay homage to the Hou Ye by the way, please give me a farewell."

The Wu Commander, who was the leader, was a little sissy when he heard Wang Chengen speak, looked at a few of them, and then glared, "Go and go, what kind of mess is there here, Hou Ye has a lot of opportunities, how can I have time to take care of you scholars, go to the place where you should go."

As he spoke, he ordered people to bang out.

Chongzhen remained silent, and several of the Jinyi Wei masters under him were indignant in their hearts, if it weren't for the fact that the master would slap you away here, the dog would look at the low things of people.

They were born in the martial arts, and they pay attention to happiness and revenge, and they will be beaten when they say they will be beaten, but they follow Chongzhen Weifu for a private visit, of course, they don't dare to act rashly.

At this time, Wang Chengen was not angry at all, the big white face smiled like a flower, and he held 50 taels of snowflake silver in his hand: "This military master is convenient, it is not easy for my son-in-law to come here, and the Hou Ye can't see it, please ask the military master to say it, and the son will have no regrets."

As soon as you see money, your eyes will open.

Under the temptation of the silver, the Wu Commander immediately changed his attitude, and his voice softened, "I really don't see that you old horse boy who leads a horse and pedals can really do things."

Wang Chengen said secretly, which miscellaneous family will do things, but these 50 taels of silver are talking!

Wang Chengen was happy, and nodded again and again.

Wu Chang picked up 50 taels of silver, leaving a few soldiers to watch here, and he personally ran into the gate of the Hou Mansion.

Looking at the back of this Wu Chief, Wang Chengen himself didn't know the bottom of his heart, did he succeed in this move?

The dignified grandfather Huang Degong, can he care about a strange person who is rushing to take the exam?

Nine times out of ten, the 50 taels of silver were lost.

It's better to break in directly, or directly reveal your identity and let Huang Degong come out to take over, otherwise you will kill him.

Wang Chengen waited here, thinking wildly......

Inside the Yasukuni Palace.

Huang Degong was depressed and was drinking.

This Luzhou man who was born in the army has two hobbies in his life, one is brave and aggressive, and a pair of iron whips have no opponents all over the world. The second is drinking. And he's different, and he's even more fierce and invincible after drinking.

What he is not happy about now is that Liu Liangzuo has even suffered defeats, and he has also suffered defeats, and it is not the Manchus who are fighting with him

, which is said to be the army of the Ming Dynasty.

But they now support the Southern Ming court, but the premise must be that Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, and then there was Nanming, but now this is not the case.

It is said that Chongzhen died and came back to life, and became Emperor Wu, drove away the thieves and ***, recovered the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and fought all the way to Jianghuai. Hearing the news, he didn't have time to get excited, but there was news that Emperor Chongzhen of the Great Ming Martial Emperor was impersonated by the Demon Sect.

The Demon Sect pretended to be Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and colluded with the Manchu Dynasty to destroy the Ming Dynasty.

He couldn't tell whether it was true or not.

How so? Huang Degong was puzzled.

On the battlefield, Huang Degong's subordinates could not defeat Ma Bao, the so-called general of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, who, like Liu Liangzuo's people, lost several prefectures and counties and was compressed to the Jianghuai area.

He was just about to go out in person, when Zhu Yousong, the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, sent a decree to let him and Liu Liang join the army, fight jointly, and defend jointly, and must hold the Jianghuai defense line, and must keep the capital (Nanjing) safe, and there must be no mistakes.

Although they are all warlords in a town, Huang Degong looks down on Liu Liangzuo and thinks that his military discipline is too poor, and he robs soldiers everywhere.

Fighting with such an army, Huang Degong felt that he was worthless, but under the will of the Southern Ming Dynasty, he did not dare to disobey, so he drank alone here and was sullen.

At this time, someone came to report that there was a person who passed by Hezhou when he arrived in Nanjing to catch the exam, and came to pay homage to the grandfather of the country.

The person who reported the incident felt that this matter was not worth hugging at all, but with the impetus of 50 taels of silver, he just came to pass on a message, and felt that there was no hope at all.

But unexpectedly, Huang Degong put down the wine glass, "In that case, please raise the living room to see you."

The reporter also felt strange.

Today, Grandpa Guo is really gracious, he even wants to meet a strange person who is rushing to take the exam, and he should be lucky with this lifter, 50 taels of silver is not in vain.

In fact, how did he know that Chongzhen had already identified Huang Degong's vein, no matter his past life or present life, Chongzhen knew him quite well.

Huang Degong is a coarse background, his father died when he was a child, and he depended on his mother for his life, and he never studied. But he has great respect for scholars, he has been filial to his parents since he was a child, he is chivalrous and righteous, and he is loyal to the country when he grows up, which is a hundred times stronger than those hypocrites who are familiar with the way of Confucius and Mencius.

Therefore, Chongzhen has concluded that Huang Degong will never turn away a person who comes to visit him.

This is not like other officials, who forget their roots when they become officials, are tall and have a big temper, and even their six relatives don't recognize them when they become people. He even climbed up by stepping on the heads of those who had cultivated him. Initiating a majestic style, pigs and dogs are not as good.

If Huang Degong turned him away today, it would not be Huang Degong in Chongzhen's imagination.

Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
