Daming: I help my wife be the empress

On the city wall of Wushe County, Guo Guangfu looked to the south, and saw the Ming army with clear flags and orderly flowing like a fiery red river, but the tail could not be seen at a glance.

Even though he knew that the terrain blocked his view, Guo Guangfu couldn't help feeling chills in his heart, and almost completely lost his confidence in defending Wushe County.

"Master Chief Soldier, I think the Ming army has at least [-] to [-] soldiers, but we only have more than [-] soldiers and horses, and there are only four Laoshizi Hongyi cannons. How can we justify Wushe County?" He brought Zhao Mingzhe over and said, then looked around and behind him, and said in a low voice, "Why don't we surrender?"

Guo Guangfu frowned, and didn't say whether to fight or surrender, but said in a low voice: "What about adults and villains? Just learn some bad habits!"

Zhao Mingzhe was taken aback for a moment when he heard this, and then he showed joy.

He's not stupid, he knew Guo Guangfu wanted to surrender as soon as he heard it, otherwise why would he dislike the address he learned from the Qing prisoner?

He immediately lowered his voice and persuaded: "General, after you surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, although the Qing Kingdom gave you the position of Chief Military Officer, it only gave you money and food for 3000 people.

Compared with Zhao Shizhong, the commander-in-chief who is in charge of the green battalions in Huaiqing Mansion, you are obviously a small commander-in-chief, why bother to work for it? "

In fact, the military generals at the end of the Ming Dynasty held their own troops and respected themselves, so there was essentially a distinction between big and small soldiers.

The Qing Dynasty went a step further, arbitrarily sealing officials when recruiting all kinds of armed forces, and almost everyone who led two to three thousand troops alone was named the chief soldier.

This type of general is at most similar to the former generals of the Ming Dynasty. Most of them are stationed in a certain prefecture, county, or city. They are obviously different from the generals in charge of the military affairs of a government, so they are privately called small generals by military generals.

Guo Guangfu was quite happy when he first got the position of General Soldier conferred by the Qing court, but when he learned that the situation in the world had changed greatly, Daming seemed to come back to life, and then he realized that he was a small general soldier, so he was not very satisfied with this official position. .

But Jiangming also has concerns.

So he feigned displeasure and shouted: "What nonsense? You and I were bandits first, and then rebelled and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. How can we come to a good end now?"

As soon as Zhao Mingzhe heard it, he knew that Guo Guangfu didn't want to surrender, but was worried that he would be questioned by the Ming court after surrendering.

After confirming Guo Guangfu's intentions, he also took out his hole card, lowered his voice, and said, "General, Jin Yiwei has infiltrated our city."

"What?!" Guo Guangfu subconsciously turned up the volume after hearing it.

"Keep your voice down, General." Zhao Mingzhe quickly reminded, and then explained: "The man talked to me, and said that as long as you are willing to surrender the city, General, the court will not pursue the crimes of the past, and you may even be awarded an official position."

"Is it just possible to grant an official position?" Guo Guangfu finally stopped trying to hide it, but he also seemed dissatisfied with Daming's promise.

Zhao Mingzhe persuaded: "General, you are confused. With the strength of our troops, the situation, and the things we have done in the past, if Daming really promises high officials and generous salaries, can it be true?
Although we may not be able to tell the officials now, at least our wealth and life can definitely be saved.We have already made the wrong choice once, and now it is good enough to save our lives. "

After listening, Guo Guangfu showed a tangled look.

He would definitely not be able to defend this city, and surrendering the city was an inevitable choice, but he didn't sell it for a good price, so he was really not reconciled.

As for being able to save his life, he has no doubts - when he led his brothers to surrender, he just dragged them away. He neither killed the officials and generals of Daming, nor did he turn his back on the battlefield. The army is much "stronger".

Amidst the struggle, Guo Guangfu finally made up his mind when he saw that the Ming army was getting closer and closer to the city.

He pulled Zhao Mingzhe with a stern look on his face, and said in a low voice, "Go and take our most capable brother, and find a way to kill Zhao Shizhong's more than 200 cavalrymen.

These people went to attack the Ming army crossing the river, and they are Zhao Shizhong's people, so they can add credit to us. "

Zhao Mingzhe's eyes lit up when he heard this, he gave a thumbs up and said, "The general is brilliant!"

After finishing speaking, he quickly went down the city wall to do it.

Those Zhao Shizhong's cavalry had fled into the city like bereaved dogs before, but after they came in, they pretended to be uncles with them, asking for food, drink, and women to play with, saying that they wanted to suppress the shock-it was too much for his mother.

But in this way, it is easier to deal with these people.

···
Ren Guangrong, Party Chief Su, and Liu Tichun led their respective troops to surround Wushe County on three sides. Then Tan Ma reported through the walkie-talkie that there were shouts of killing in the city, and that there seemed to be a fire, and civil strife was likely.

The three immediately communicated over the walkie-talkie.

Ren Guangrong smiled and said: "It seems that Wushe County doesn't need to be attacked by force."

The party leader Su said: "Don't be too happy, if the party who wants to surrender to the court loses anyway, we still have to attack the city."

Liu Tichun just wanted to capture Wu She as soon as possible to avenge the soldiers who were killed and injured while crossing the river, so he said, "You can't count on the people in the city, you better attack the city as soon as possible, and take the city directly while they are dealing with the civil strife. !"

Still Guangrong and the party leader Su both agreed.

It's just that it took a while for the soldiers and horses of the three towns to form an array. When they deployed their soldiers and horses two miles away from Wushe County and were about to attack the city, they saw the city gate opened...

In this battle, the three of them took down Wushe County without a single soldier. Even the cavalry who attacked Liu Tichun's troops before were killed by Guo Guangfu and Zhao Mingzhe, and they were regarded as certificates of honor.

This time, even Liu Tichun became happy.

After discussing with each other, the three decided to leave only one general army and one artillery post in Wushe, and cooperate with Guo Guangfu to stay in Wushe County.

Wushe County is located in the lower reaches of Qinshui, only a dozen miles away from the Yellow River. Afterwards, the food and grass for the soldiers and horses of the three towns will allow the navy boats to enter Qinshui from the Yellow River and go upstream to transport food and grass with the army.

Therefore, the location of Wushe County is quite important.

If it weren't for worrying that too many soldiers would be taken advantage of by the Qing captives, and Guo Guangfu's troops would help defend the city, the three of them would have at least one battalion in Wushe.

As for whether Guo Guangfu would rebel against the Qing Dynasty again, the three felt that as long as this guy's brain is not broken and he doesn't want to die, he will not do so.

Therefore, one thousand garrisons, one artillery post, and Guo Guangfu's 3000 men are enough to hold Wushe County for a period of time.

As for the three of them, they headed northwest along Qinshui, planning to take Huaiqing Prefecture and rule Hanoi County...
Also on September 26, the three-town Huguang garrison led by Lu Guangzu, Zhang Yingxiang, and Xu Yuxian also followed Du Yinxi's order to cross the river in Kaocheng to capture Huanglinggang Town north of the Yellow River.

Because the Ming army's naval forces are stronger the further down the Yellow River, and what they are facing is only a town, so it is easy to win.

Afterwards, the three of them dispatched troops to raid Xiaosongji, Tongwaxiang, Zhujiazhai and other towns on the west side of the North Bank to cut off the threat on the west side, and then followed the Heshui River to take Caozhou, Yanzhou Prefecture...
