Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 418
Liu Jinzhong got up and saluted Zhang Dapeng.

"What's the governor's intention? Don't think so," Zhang Dapeng still doubts Liu Jinzhong's words now, but he has spent a lot of time in the mountains in northern Sichuan and knows nothing about the situation in Hanzhong. "Since the governor has returned to the court anyway, Then we are a family, you are the admiral, I am only a battalion officer, and I am the commander."

Zhang Dapeng also said obeisance.

Liu Jinzhong hurriedly supported him, "It's not the same, not the same. Although I have the admiral who was appointed by the imperial court, I can't compare with General Zhang. You are a special agent of the emperor, and you are a pro-army in the imperial camp."

The two pushed back for a long time.

Liu Jinzhong finally took Zhang Dapeng to invite him to a seat, and ordered someone to bring food and wine.

Zhang Dapeng was also dubious.

"Go and get the banners of the Tartars that we captured during the battle in Hanzhong and show it to General Zhang, and bring the prisoners, especially the two Jianzhou real Tartars, and let them tell the emperor personally. Emacco has done the opposite."

Although Liu Jinzhong suffered a great loss in Hanzhong, his Xiaoqi Battalion was very brave. After losing some soldiers, horses and food, he still returned. Not only that, but also a lot of gains. Even when they were attacked and hunted down by the Two Thousand Eight Banners, they killed some and even captured more than a dozen captives, but some of them died of serious injuries. Now there are still two alive, and they should be carefully guarded and raised.

Zhang Dapeng had been on the Northern Expedition, so he naturally recognized the Yijia Banner of the Eight Banners, etc., and personally questioned the Manchu and Han captives, and finally confirmed that Hanzhong Ma Ke had really surrendered.

"Where is Admiral He?"

"The generals He Zhen, Liu Tichun, and Wang Guangtai have not returned to Hanzhong. I heard that they are still in the area of ​​Zhongnan Mountain in the Qinling Mountains. Now all kinds of news are mixed, and it is difficult to tell the truth from the fake." Liu Jinzhong pulled Zhang Dapeng very affectionately. It is quite speculative, so I have to ask for help.

Seeing his enthusiasm, Zhang Dapeng's kindness was hard to resist. In fact, the current situation was completely unexpected. He thought that he had escaped death and entered the tiger's den this time, but who knew it would be the result.

Knowing that this Liu Jinzhong may not be sincere, but it is always good to have a good relationship with this person now.

So the two reported their birthdays and told their elders and children.

Liu Jinzhong is the elder brother, and Zhang Dapeng is the second younger brother, as evidenced by officers from the Xiaoqi Battalion and Zhang Dapeng's black flag soldiers.

After burning the yellow paper, lighting incense, and drinking blood wine at the end, the righteousness is completed.

"Second brother, it is impossible to go to Hanzhong now, so why don't you stay here at Chaotianguan. To tell you the truth, I went to Hanzhong this time, and I also lost a lot of people. Now my vitality is seriously injured, and Zhang Xianzhong is full of rebellion. Surrendering Zhao'an was actually a massacre of central Sichuan, plundering the young and strong population, money, food and materials, and going northward, intending to go out of Sichuan to rob Hanzhong and go to Shaanxi and Gansu. I sincerely surrendered to the imperial court. Forced to vote for a thief, who knows that this person is so cruel and heartless, "

"From now on, the Chaotian Pass will be decided by the second brother. My Xiaoqi Battalion is also directly under the Black Banner Army of the second brother. Let's guard the Chaotian Pass together for the imperial court."

Zhang Dapeng was a little dizzy.

This Liu Jinzhong was a tall man, but he ended up talking in a different way, which was very nice.

Although Zhang Dapeng is now an officer of the imperial camp, after all, he was just a part-time worker for a landlord's family a year ago, and he was relatively simple.

Although I felt that Liu Jinzhong had to be on guard, but in the end he was a little moved by what he said.

It's not that he wants to covet the troops of the Xiaoqi Battalion, nor does he really want to be the commander-in-chief of the Black Banner Army. He just thinks that since Ma Ke in Hanzhong was surrendered, He Zhen and others will not be able to return, and the soldiers in Chongqing are too far behind. Going to Hanzhong is dangerous. If he can accept this team for the Long Live Lord, and join Liu Jinzhong to guard Chaotianguan, the northern gate of central Shu, that would be good.

As for other things, don't worry about it.

"Brother, you are the admiral, and I am the battalion officer, not to mention you are the eldest brother and I am the second younger brother. The two of us are stationed at Chaotian Pass together. The Black Flag Battalion and I are dispatched by the elder brother,"

"That won't do."

"Brother, let's stop arguing. It's all for the sake of Daming Sheji and Long Live God. This is not the time to fight." Zhang Dapeng said with a blushing face.

Liu Jinzhong laughed, "That's right, I'm the one with the picture, so it's settled."

"I will let people open and close the door, welcome the second younger brother to enter the pass, and immediately pull out the food and grass. We brothers will guard the Chaotian Pass together, and we will share weal and woe in the future."

"Brother, I think the inside of the pass is narrow, so it's better for our Black Flag Battalion to stay outside the pass and choose a dangerous place to build a stronghold. This is also conducive to defense, but we have to borrow some equipment, armor and arrows from my brother."

"Why should we be so polite between us? Those from the Xiaoqi Camp are those from the Black Flag Camp. I'll ask someone to take my second brother to Curry to pick them up, and I'll take whatever I like."

Two people you Lennon me Lennon.

"I also want my second brother and elder brother to jointly report to Fengjie's Wen Jinglue the urgent military situation of Ma Ke's surrender of the bandits in Hanzhong, and we are stationed at Chaotian Pass. With 60 million people heading north, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold Chaotian Pass."

"We still have to report to Fengjie Wenjinglue, Chongqing President Qin, and even Shunqing's Admiral Zeng to ask for reinforcements."

"It's natural."

I was busy and sent out several letters.

Liu Wenzhong also sent people to transport many carts of grain, grass, vegetables, etc. to the Black Flag camp outside the pass, and gave him a lot of knives, guns, bows and arrows, tents, etc., which was very generous.

He also personally accompanied Zhang Dapeng to choose a dangerous and easy-to-defend place to set up camp beside Chaotianling, and even pulled out 500 troops to strengthen Zhang Dapeng's defense.

·······
"Brother, Zhang Dapeng is only a battalion officer in the garrison, and only rank five, why is this so?"

Everything was about the same, Liu Jinzhong returned to Chaotian Pass, and a confidant couldn't help but ask.

"What is a mere battalion officer on guard? Is that an ordinary battalion officer? If it wasn't my second brother who came here today, even if it was Zeng Ying, I would at best be more polite. How could I be so courteous? Not an ordinary fifth-rank official, this is the emperor's close servant, didn't you see what kind of knife he was carrying?
Qian Niu Dao, as I said just now, he is one of the ten camp officers in the Sichuan-Shaanxi camp, but he also has the fifth-rank job of carrying imperial equipment. What kind of job is that?
Imperial bodyguard.

In other words, those are the emperor's close servants, the people around him, the emperor's servants, can they be the same?

Just say there are still few civil servants and military generals in the court of the Central Plains of Shu?Wang Yingxiong, Fan Yiheng, Ma Gan and other supervisors, governors, and governors, Zeng Ying, Wang Xiang, Yang Zhan and other generals, etc., but who is the biggest official now?
Wen Anzhi, who is this person?In the past, it was just a sacrificial wine for the Imperial College, and he returned to his hometown a long time ago, but in just over half a year, he has already accomplished the strategy of the five provinces, and he is still a bachelor. Don’t you understand?

Once the emperor and the courtiers, no matter Wang Yingxiong, the Hongguang governor, Fan Yiheng, the governor, or even Zeng Ying, Yang Zhan, etc., they were all the courtiers of the old court.

Wen Anzhi, Qin Liangyu, etc. are the courtiers who are highly appreciated by the new emperor.

Not to mention the new Sichuan-Shanxi camp, the officers are all transferred from the emperor, which one is easier?
And didn't you listen to what Zhang Dapeng said?He was born as a poor day laborer, why is he now a battalion officer?Because he used to be the servant of Long live Lord.

Don't look at Zhang Dapeng as a low-ranking official, but he is more worthy of our wooing than Zeng Ying and Wang Xiang. What's more, this Zhang Dapeng went north with four people. In such a short time, he forced such a team. Look at his ten disabled people Jia Ding, which one is not risking death, this kind of person is terrible.

I dare say that Zhang Dapeng has a bright future. Although we are an admiral, can we compare?
So I, the admiral, have to curry favor with Zhang Dapeng, but unfortunately he is unwilling to enter Chaotian Pass, otherwise, if our Xiaoqi Battalion can cooperate with his Black Banner Army, then we will be safe. "

Liu Jinzhong took a few swigs from his water glass, feeling a little proud. In troubled times, he must not only be able to fight, but also be able to watch the direction of the wind.

Seeing that the situation was not good at the beginning, he also joined Zhang Xianzhong in time, so that he was able to save this team and strengthen his own power when the Western Army swept Sichuan.Now that offering thieves is no longer possible, it is natural to change the ship in time.

Although some brothers proposed to surrender, but Liu Jinzhong thought it over and over again, and as a last resort, he was still reluctant to shave his hair and surrender.

"We have to find a way. If we can hold Chaotian Pass, and even take advantage of the chaos to seize Baoning Mansion, then we will be safe."

"Brother, the bandits are coming soon. There are 60 people. We have a few thousand people, plus the black flag battalion. They will definitely not be able to stop them."

"What are you afraid of?" Liu Jinzhong said calmly, "We must not be able to keep what we said before, but isn't it now that we are attached to the imperial court? My second brother is still here, Qin Liangyu from Chongqing, Zeng Ying from Shunqing, and Kui Don’t we all have to help with the literature, classics and strategy of Fengjie in the state?”

"Besides, when the time comes, we'll let the thieves go and don't stop them."

Chaotian Pass is guarding the dangerous point, although they have few soldiers, they are enough to guard the pass city, and there will be reinforcements in the future, so naturally they will not be afraid.Perhaps Zhang Xianzhong would be happy to run quickly when he saw that they were willing to give way.

When Zhang Xianzhong runs away, they might be able to kill the carbine immediately, take Baoning Mansion, which was abandoned by the thieves, or even recover Chengdu?
When the time comes to occupy Baoning Chengdu, wouldn't it also become a feudal town?
······
On the Chaotian Ridge side, where the black flag stands, they are still busy setting up camp.

Zhang Xian, Zhou Xiucai, Yang Wei, Ma Liang, Liu Chengzu and a group of people are still dreaming.

Liu Jinzhong from Chaotianguan actually gave them a lot of food and grass, and a lot of weapons, and also gave them five hundred armored soldiers, all of whom were armored soldiers. These soldiers were the most elite even in the Xiaoqi battalion.

Everyone was also a little shocked by Zhang Dapeng's big brother who fell from the sky.

On the contrary, although Zhang Dapeng was once uneasy, he is calm now.

"Admiral Liu was originally a frontier general of the imperial court, and he was forced to surrender to the thieves at the beginning. Now that Admiral Liu has joined the court, the thieves still have to go out of Sichuan. Admiral Liu is unwilling to attach himself to the traitor again. This is also human nature.

Besides, comparing the Seven Kills Monument of the Thieves and the Six Prohibitions of Admiral Liu, it can be seen that they are not from the same line.

Everyone, stop thinking about it. "

He pointed to the money, food, equipment and even the troops in front of him, "Aren't these enough?"

Zhang Xian clicked his lips and scratched his head with his one arm, "I just think, in fact, we should go directly to the pass to station. General, wouldn't it be better for you to directly take over Chaotian Pass?"

The slave laughed.

Zhang Dapeng said, "I think women, children, old and weak should be arranged in Chaotianguan, so that the war will not be involved at all, and we can concentrate on fighting."

"As for the rest, let's talk about it after this battle is over."
