Chapter 831 Loyalty Camp
On the other side of Wuchang, Yuan Zongdi heard that He Tengjiao on the other side of the shore rejected the news that the storm had surrendered to the court, and was furious and prepared to order cross the river to attack Wuchang. In the original time and space, because there were no butterfly wings flapped by Li Guodong, Chongzhen was no longer there at this time, and the Hongguang regime of the Ming Dynasty had also been destroyed. He Tengjiao surrendered the storm willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty under Du Yinxi's persuasion. However, although He Tengjiao accepted the surrender of the storm, he still regarded the storm as a bandit in his heart, and implemented the method of differentiating the storm army adapted into the loyal camp, deliberately regarded the rising talents Hao Yaoqi and Wang Jincai as close friends, and deliberately made things difficult for the other storm generals.
Later, when the anti-Qing situation turned around, He Tengjiao did not take the opportunity to counterattack and recover the lost territory, but ordered Hao Yaoqi to attack the remaining rebels, causing division within the Anti-Qing coalition. In the end, He Tengjiao was captured and died.
Although He Tengjiao would rather die than surrender, and was as loyal and righteous as Shi Kefa, his political vision was as incompetent as Shi Kefa.
In this time and space, because Li Guodong inserted a pole, He Tengjiao refused to obey the order in anger and simply refused the request of the rebel army to surrender, which made Yuan Zongdi furious.
"He Tengjiao is also bullying too much! They don't take us seriously at all! Brothers, fight across the river and let He Tengjiao know the power of our Dashun Army!" Yuan Zongdi stood on the spot and shouted loudly.
On both sides were Liu Tichun, Liu Fangliang, Tian Jianxiu, Wang Jincai, Dang Shousu, Tian Hualong, Liu Xiyao, Xin Sizhong, Liu Rukui and other generals stood. However, Gao Guiying, Gao Yigong, Li Guo, Li Laiheng and other generals did not come out of Gao Guiying's central army tent, because Gao Guiying firmly opposed crossing the river to attack Wuchang, but hoped to send people to negotiate with the court again. However, now the main force of the rebellion army is in the hands of Yuan Zongdi, and Gao Guiying cannot stop Yuan Zongdi. The remaining 150,000 rebellion army, Yuan Zongdi has 80,000 troops.
There were thousands of ships of all sizes moored on the river, all of which were collected by Yuan Zongdi from all over the place. The flags were waving on the shore, and the gongs and drums were clamoring. The soldiers of the rebels were neatly arranged on the shore, waiting for Yuan Zong's first order, and 80,000 rebels crossed the river to attack Wuchang.
The main force of the Ming army naval division was from Anqing to Nanjing, the Qing army naval division was in Jiujiang, and the Huguang river surface was almost blank. As long as the rebel army wanted to cross the river, they could pass at any time and would not be intercepted by any navy.
Just when Yuan Zongdi was about to order crossing the river, he heard a loud roar from outside the camp: "General Yuan, cross the river slowly!"
"Who is shouting?" Yuan Zongdi asked him to check it out.
After a while, the sent people came back: "General, more than a hundred imperial guards came from outside the camp, saying that they would meet you, and that they would give them a gift to the general."
"Embroidered Uniform Guard? What are these eagle-clawed grandsons here for?" Yuan Zongdi frowned.
Due to the propaganda of civil servants and gentry, the people have a bad impression of the Jinyiwei, and they all regard the Jinyiwei as a court hawk who harms loyal and kindness and harms the people. In fact, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Jinyiwei has never harmed the people. They harmed the gentry and civil servants. But the people don’t know that the public opinion was in the hands of the civil servants and gentry groups, and it was impossible for the people to understand the truth.
Tian Jianxiu, who had long wanted to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, shouted: "Why are you still polite to these Eagle Clawed Suns? Just a few people killed them all!"
"Don't do it!" Liu Tichun dissuaded, "The Jinyiwei is the personal army of the emperor. If the Jinyiwei is killed, we will completely break with the Ming Dynasty! Then there is only one way to surrender to the Qing Dynasty! Anyway, I will not shave my head!"
"Yes! I would rather die than shave my head!" Liu Fangliang also shouted.
"Don't shave your head! I'd rather die than shave your head!" The dozens of generals and officers in front yelled.
"I would rather die than shave my head!" Tens of thousands of soldiers of the rebel army roared in unison, rushing into the sky, and they let out a roar in the hearts of every Han.
"Isn't it just shaving your head?" Tian Jianxiu said quickly, "But I heard from Tong Yanghe that this matter can still be discussed. As long as we have troops in our hands and make more contributions to the Qing Dynasty, this matter can still be slow."
Just as the generals of the rebel army were arguing endlessly, Gao Guiying came out with Gao Yigong, Li Guo, Li Laiheng and others.
"Let the envoys of the Ming Dynasty come in and see what they have to do!" Gao Guiying shouted, "My Gao family is irreconcilable with the Tartars, and will never surrender to the Tartars!"
"Transfer to the envoy of the Ming Dynasty!" a soldier shouted.
"Travel the envoy of the Ming Dynasty!"
Chen Jinliang held his head upright and took more than a hundred Jinyiweis, escorting Cheng Jiubo, who was tied up in many flowers, into the camp of the treasury army. In fact, there were only more than twenty of the more than twenty of the Jinyiweis under his command, the official Jinyiweiser with the status of Lishi, and the remaining more than eighty are currently under the rank of the special agents of the personal guards.
When Uncle Cheng Jiu saw the banner of "Dashun" floating in front of him, he was already scared to his legs and his whole body was shaking like a sieve.
Chen Jinliang strode into the camp of the crusade army. Seeing a Qing official escorted by the Jinyiwei, all the soldiers of the Shun Army were stunned: "Why did the Jinyiwei come to give gifts? Look at the quail torch, it is obviously an eighth-rank official. What kind of gift is such a small Tartar official?"
Tian Jianxiu smiled and leaned back and forth: "Hahaha! I thought the Jinyiwei gave me some generous gifts! Those who don't know, after hearing your tone, thought they had sent high-ranking Tartar officials like Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng. Who knew that a small eighth-rank official was sent! Such a small-ranking Tartar official can kill dozens of him at will!"
Chen Jinliang sneered: "Although this thief is a small Tartar official, this thief is Cheng Jiubo from Jiugong Mountain, the murderer who killed Emperor Yongchang of Dashun!"
These words were like a thunderbolt sound on the sunny day. All the generals of the three armies were stunned on the spot. After a long time of vocalization, Emperor Yongchang of Dashun was the honorific title of Li Zicheng! After Li Zicheng was killed, the army broke into a massacre in Huguang Jiangbei to vent their anger and revenge, and killed all the village heroes of the Tuanjiao from several counties, but they did not find this person. More than 100,000 soldiers mentioned this person and hated him.
Gao Guiying shed tears and turned her head and shouted, "Hurry, call Nai'er over and let him identify this thief!"
The personal soldiers passed the order, and soon, Li Zicheng's adopted son Zhang Nai and Luo Hu ran over with a group of personal soldiers. Zhang Nai was Li Zicheng's adopted son. When Li Zicheng was killed in Jiugong Mountain, Zhang Nai and twenty-eight personal soldiers were beside him. After Li Zicheng was killed, more than twenty personal soldiers were also killed. Zhang Nai and five personal soldiers escaped by chance. Because Zhang Nai met Jiu Bo, he was able to recognize this person.
Zhang Nai came to the front and flew off the horse. Teng Tengteng rushed to Cheng Jiu Bo. He only took a brief look and then turned red. He pulled out his waist knife and shouted at the top of his lungs: "I want to kill you, the evil thief!"
Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, but Zhang Nai kept shouting: "It's him, he's even him, he turns into ashes, he's the evil thief Cheng Jiu!"
Chen Jinliang turned his head again, and asked someone to hold a wooden box and handed it to Zhang Nai: "General Zhang, there is still a small gift, please accept it with a smile."
Opening the wooden box, there was a human head inside. Zhang Nai looked closely and saw that it was the head of Uncle Cheng Jiu's nephew Jin Ergou!
At that time, Li Zicheng fought with Cheng Jiubo, who was holding a hoe. Because the knife was not pulled out, Li Zicheng knocked Cheng Jiubo over to the ground and rode on him and beat him with a fist. As a result, Jin Ergou arrived with a group of people and killed Li Zicheng with a shovel.
"It's Jin Ergou's head! It was this thief who killed his father with his own hands!" Zhang Nai shouted.
Gao Guiying shed tears: "You Jinyiwei sent the murderer who killed the late emperor. Such a great kindness is so grateful that she shed tears. Nai'er, kowtow to her benefactor!"
The soldiers from all over the rebel army were mourning together. Gao Guiying invited Li Zicheng's spiritual position. She led the generals to worship and sacrificed her solemnly. Another knife stabbed into Cheng Jiubo's heart. The blood spurted out into blood wine. She sprinkled a bowl in front of the spiritual position and then shared it with everyone to drink.
Chen Jinliang took out the imperial edict and handed it to Gao Guiying: "Your Majesty intends to ask He Tengjiao to recruit the rebel army and adapt it into a loyal camp, but He Tengjiao actually resisted the imperial edict! Mrs. Gao, although He Tengjiao refused to accept you for surrender, our Duke of Chu is willing to accept you. You were originally a descendant of the Ming Dynasty, but because of corrupt officials, you can't survive and have to rebel. Now Jiannu has invaded the Central Plains with an intention to annex China. I hope you can ignore past grudges and follow Duke of Chu to fight against Jiannu together!"
