Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 254

He Tengjiao slept with Jian Guo for three nights, and then the imperial court issued an edict.

He was granted the crown prince Taibao, a bachelor of Jinwuyingdian, and the earl of Dingxing. He went out of the town of Guangzhou to supervise the military affairs of Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi provinces and to manage food and pay. He was granted 36 Wangming flags and Shangfang sword.

Take a town of [-] soldiers and horses in the capital camp as the pavilion mark and go south with him.

As soon as this decree came out, many people couldn't help talking about it. They often heard that He Gebu said that Jian Guo slept with this one again tonight, and called that servant to sleep again yesterday. It's been three nights.

Someone even dug up He Tengjiao's history, saying that he was a good sleeper.It is said that He Tengjiao was born as a Juren in Guizhou, but in the Chongzhen Dynasty, he was able to serve as the magistrate of a big county like Nanyang magistrate with a Juren. This is even higher than the starting point of ordinary Jinshi. Why?
Because He Tengjiao slept with a Ge Lao at that time.

Of course, it was originally rumored that He Tengjiao was summoned by the elders of the political cabinet, and they had a good chat.

After He Tengjiao took office in Nanyang, he immediately slept with Governor Chen Biqian again.Of course, in fact, he followed the governor Chen Biqian to destroy Angao Mountain, beheaded more than [-] thieves, and suppressed the local bandits, so he gained his name.They are just three fires for new officials to take office, following Governor Chen to defeat the bandits and bandits.

Afterwards, He Tengjiao and Ding You resigned from his post, and after his death, he served as the Huaixu Army's military officer. They all praised it.

So he was summoned to the capital to face the saint, and it was rumored that he fell asleep again.

So at the end of Chongzhen, he was promoted all the way to the governor of Huguang. It can be said that his official career was the same as that of Kaihang. Later, King Fu Nanjing succeeded to the throne and was still the governor of Huguang.In the midst of fierce internal strife among the parties in Nanjing, Zuo Liangyu raised troops to the side of the Qing emperor, and invited Lao He, who had a good relationship, to go to the south of the Yangtze River with him to win wealth and honor together.

As a result, He Tengjiao decided that he would not be able to accomplish anything, and he refused. Then Zuo Liangyu's warlord lost his temper and threatened to kill all the people in Ningzhou where He Tengjiao lived.Lao He is also very stubborn. Although I have slept with you, I can't rebel with you. He notified the people in the city to flee for their lives, then opened the gate of the yamen, put the official seal on the hall, put on the official uniform and waited for Zuo Liang. Yu came to chop him.

If it's a brother, you can cut it with a knife.

After Zuo Liangyu's army invaded the city, He Tengjiao thought he might as well kill himself, but was stopped by his subordinates, and Zuo Liangyu's own soldiers took him to see the commander in chief.

Zuo Liangyu still respected him very much when they met, and even let him take the same boat and wanted to sleep together at night.

He Tengjiao refused, the past was the past, and the present is the present, he found a chance and jumped into the river, Zuo Liangyu thought he threw himself into the river and refused to sleep with her again, but in fact He Tengjiao was very good at water, so he just swam ashore. In one breath, he ran back to Changsha, summoned the old ministry, recruited troops, raised the banner of arguing for the left, and resolutely supported the Nanjing court.

Of course, there is another legend circulating in the rivers and lakes, saying that at that time, Zuo Liangyu sent four general soldiers to guard He Tengjiao. On the boat window, carrying He Tengjiao on his back, got out of Zuo Liangyu's 800,000 army, and finally sent him all the way to a Guandi Temple.

At dawn, the family members that He Tengjiao had sent out of the city happened to be passing by, and they still had his official seal.

So He Tengjiao changed into an official robe and took the seal letter, recruited his followers, and raised the flag to rebel against the left. Soon Zuo Liangyu died suddenly on the river, and many of his followers collapsed, and the rest followed Zuo Menggeng to the Qing Dynasty.

Although this legend is too fantastical, the people in Huguang are very happy to hear it, believe it very much, and respect He Tengjiao even more.

After the news of the city of Nanjing being broken and Hongguang being captured came, He Tengjiao had reorganized his troops and set up the Thirteenth Army Town. The most powerful man in Huguang.

Even Lu Jianguo issued an imperial edict to add titles.

Some people concluded that He Tengjiao liked to say that Lu Guo slept with a certain minister before. It turned out that he himself slept all the way up. The Taibao Fujian-Guangdong Supervisor of the Grand Prix came.

Everyone is happy to talk about this sleeping word, but instead ignores the true intention of He Tengjiao's imperial court who went south to supervise the three provinces.

Under the city of Hangzhou.

Zhu Yihai just laughed when he heard the rumors reported by the attendants.

People like these gossip the most, and the more outrageous and exaggerated they are, the more they believe. They are natural supporters of conspiracy theories.

"Should we take down these guys who maliciously spread rumors?" Yang Boxing asked for instructions with a somewhat expressionless face.

Zhu Yihai waved his hand, "There's no need to be so serious about something harmless. As long as someone is not intentionally fanning the flames, just ignore it. Let's talk about something serious and summarize the military situation."

Yang Boxing then gave a military briefing.

"Zhang Quan, the commander-in-chief of Yongwei Town, and Shen Wenzhong, the capital supervisor, reported from Huzhou that they had recovered six counties and one prefecture in Huzhou, beheaded more than [-] levels, captured more than [-] people, and seized more than two to five million taels of silver. There are many grain and grass equipment,
Jin Gongyu, the commander-in-chief of Huzhou Town, failed to ambush Zhang Cunren and lost more than a thousand troops. He asked the prison to surrender. "

Zhu Yihai took a break from his busy schedule to eat breakfast, dignified and dignified, what he ate was sweet potato porridge with small dried salted fish, and then a bowl of seaweed egg flower soup, which was plain and unpretentious.

This is not a show, but that he has never liked extravagance, and he prefers simplicity and simplicity in the army.

Tens of thousands of soldiers gathered in the city of Hangzhou. Although the food supply was sufficient and timely, after all, Qiantang Bay was behind him, but it was impossible for everyone to see a little meat in three days, but he was eating fish and meat every day.

"The incident of gold attacking jade is also a crime of non-war. The Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia are strong. They are determined to escape, and it is not easy to intercept them. There is a saying in the art of war. Don't stop them when they return to the teacher. Of course, Zhang Quan's original plan is also right. It can only be said that there is still a big gap in strength between us and the Tartars, and we will face up to this gap in the future and be more cautious when formulating battle plans."

"The recovery of the cities of Huzhou is a good thing, but they should not underestimate the enemy. They have to be mentally prepared and ready to evacuate at any time. So what they have to do now is not to strengthen the city's defenses and prepare to hold on, but to transfer supplies, money, food, etc. to Tianmu Mountain or Taihu Lake as much as possible. base."

"Of course, since we have won, we are not in a hurry to withdraw. If the tartars have not come, we will take a little longer to take advantage of this time to eliminate traitors, clean up the fields, and straighten out taxes. What should be done, as long as Be on guard and keep an eye on it all the time, if the Tartars come, just retreat early."

Although Yang Boxing was surprised that he still hadn't planned to guard at this time, he was only a little taken aback.

"Where's Zheng Jiwu and Zhu Dagang from Jiaxing, is there any news?"

Those two military officers who were originally the military officers of Daming Haining Institute, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty anyway, and then surrendered to the Qing Dynasty by order. The last time I went to Susong with Yan Wogong and Li Yuchun, they were actually plated with a thick layer of gold. Due to his achievements in "suppressing chaos and suppressing rebellion", Zheng Jiwu became the commander-in-chief of Jiaxing, and Zhu Dagang took over as deputy general of Haining.

The titles of Earl Marquis were still hung on the two of them. It can be said that they sneaked into the enemy's camp and recruited soldiers, and then asked the Tartars for weapons. In Jiaxing, there is still no shortage of money and food to collect donations from the gentry, merchants, landlords and landlords who surrendered.

Because of the banner of the Green Camp, the situation in Jiaxing is better than that in Huzhou.

Huzhou still only occupies rural villages, and Jiaxing is from top to bottom. In fact, it has already been actually controlled by Daming.

"Jiaxing is very calm now, just like a flat lake without waves."

However, the pond newspaper they sent to Jiangning was very lively. The two fought against the attacking Ming army almost every day, and defeated the invading Ming army time and time again.

Hearing this reply, Zhu Yihai thought for a while, "It's good, but you can't just do nothing. Take advantage of this turmoil and step up contact with the officials in Jiaxing's prefectures and counties. If they are loyal to the Tartars, let Zheng Jiwu and the others Send someone to do it, and then just push it on the thieves and even us, and he can take the opportunity to clean up and rectify it again, and those die-hard surrender gentry landlords, take the opportunity to take some."

"Is there any movement in Nanjing?"

"Not yet. Li Yuchun from Songjiang is still arguing with Li Chengdong from Jiading, Suzhou, and Tu Guobao in Suzhou is because Wu Yi, the Governor of Water Transport, sent troops to seize Wujiang and cut off the canal, so he had to send his troops back halfway."

"By the way, Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Cheng Bi took the opportunity to recover Jiangyin City, and Huang Binqing also sent troops from Jingjiang to recover Taixing City."

Good news one after another.

Ruan Jin, Liu Kongzhao, Zhou Hezhi, etc. also led the navy to carry out successive operations. Relying on the advantages of the navy, they harassed and harassed the coasts of the Yangtze River, Susong, Huaiyang, and Susong. They came and went like the wind, a pirate tactic.

According to the information we have, we take advantage of the situation and avoid the situation. Every time we stare at those unsuspecting empty cities. Kill a group, hang them on the city wall, and then confiscate their homes, then give relief to the poor, and even mobilize the people to demolish the city wall.

If there is time, the books of the place will be removed.

When the Qing army came exhausted, they would have set sail and left. I have to say that at this stage, when Zhu Yihai planned to play this rogue tactic with the Qing army, the Qing army was exhausted because Zhu Yihai did not defend the city at all. .

To only fight but not to defend, to put it bluntly, it is to mop up the Qing army, seize money and food, and attack the local officials and green camps of the Tartars.

Anyway, the Navy used Zhoushan, Chongming, and Yangshan as bases. The Qing army now has no strength to attack, and can only be passively beaten.

As the saying goes, there are only those who can be thieves for a thousand days, how can there be those who can guard against thieves for a thousand days? Even if Bo Luo left and arranged for Yang Chengzu, Li Chengdong, Wu Shengzhao, Ma Degong, Li Yuchun, etc. to guard the coastal ports, the defense is only It can defend against several important port targets, and there are many places along the coast where it can land.

Back then, the Japanese pirates roamed the southeast, and the entire power of the Ming Dynasty was exhausted. Now that Zhu Yihai has a good force, it will be even more difficult for the newly reorganized green battalion of the Tartars.

What's more, there were people like Li Yuchun and Zheng Jiwu in the green camp.

After breakfast, Zhu Yihai was in a good mood.

"Hangzhou City has been besieged for so many days. It is estimated that the food shortage is quite serious. Go and persuade them to surrender."
