Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 234 Yang Chao's Voting Certificate
Yang Chao was really convinced by the courage of these civil servants.

After Emperor Chongzhen came to power, he was never polite to the civil servants who abandoned the city and fled. They beheaded and punished the nine clans, but they still couldn't stop the civil servants from fleeing. Some abandoned the city and fled.

"Who has the final say in the city now?"

Yang Chao asked immediately.

Jiang Yang replied: "Dian Shi Song Lian!"

Yang Chao continued: "Go to Song Lian and ask him to allow our army to enter the city immediately. If it is too late, it will be too late."

Jiang Yang knew that there was no time to wait, so he went into the city immediately regardless of his arm injury.

Huang Qi came again the next day.

They are here to discuss with Yang Chao how to seize Haizhou City by cooperating with the outside world.

Yang Chao took the opportunity to propose that he should find a way to enter Haizhou City, and then he should cooperate with the inside and outside to open the city gate and let the Manchurian army enter the city.

Huang Qi was very interested in Yang Chao's proposal, and felt that it was very likely to succeed, so he couldn't wait to go back and report to his master.

But Huang Qi's return made several senior officers of the captive soldiers quite suspicious. They had to worry, what if Yang Chao didn't surrender after letting Yang Chao into the city?
This has a criminal record. Zu Dashou's case has only passed for more than a year. Back then, Zu Dashou was besieged by Huang Taiji himself in Jinzhou City.

In the end, He Kegang, the lieutenant general who insisted on not surrendering, was killed and surrendered. Huang Taiji naturally believed in Zu Dashou's surrender, and believed in Zu Dashou's suggestion. gone forever.

What if Yang Chao learns from Zu Dashou?Under the guise of helping the captive soldiers to break through the city, they did not surrender after entering the city.

Huang Qi came to Yang Chao's army again, and told Yang Chao directly using Zu Dashou's example, saying that Yang Chao had to show his nomination certificate, otherwise they would not allow Yang Chao to enter the city safely.

As long as the captive soldiers refused to agree, Yang Chao would be attacked if he wanted to enter the city. Instead, it would be better to fight the captive soldiers directly outside the city.

After thinking about it for a while, Yang Chao immediately took out a satisfactory certificate. He told Huang Qi that he had just found out that the governor of Haizhou had escaped from the east.

The highest official in Haizhou, Lord Zhizhou of Haizhou, Huang Qi was very satisfied with this nomination, but he didn't know whether the senior officers of the captive soldiers were satisfied.

Zu Dashou betrayed He Kegang back then, but He Kegang was only Zu Dashou's deputy. Although he also held a heavy army, his status was not as good as Zu Dashou's.

Zu Dashou killed He Kegang and finally regretted his surrender. The leader of the captive army thought it was understandable, but the Zhizhou of Haizhou was Yang Chao's boss.

The captive chieftains outside Haizhou City have a lot of background. This time Abate led troops into the pass and was ordered to conquer the general, and the captive chieftains who came to Haizhou this time were Abate's deputy.
In the south of Haizhou City, at the foot of Qushan Mountain, this is the main camp of the captive soldiers.

Qu Mountain is the Jinping Mountain of the later generations. In the Ming Dynasty, Qu Mountain was established. Qu Mountain is not considered high, and the highest peak is only more than 100 Zhang.

Qushan is facing the south gate of Haicheng, so the south gate of Haicheng is also called Quyangmen.

The barracks set up the camp at the foot of the mountain, and they can block the south of Haizhou, making it impossible for the people in the city to escape. Besides surrounding Yang Chao, they are also blocking the south of the city. Obviously, they don't intend to let anyone in the city go. up.

And with the main camp in the south of the city, it is obvious that the main target may be Haizhou.

At this time, there was a golden dragon banner standing in front of the camp, and a group of gorgeously armored officers under the flag, guarded by a group of elite soldiers with iron helmets and armor, were observing Haizhou City at the gate of the camp.

One of the generals in gilt armor was speaking.

"This Haizhou city is very tall. If we attack the city, I'm afraid it will lose a lot of people!"

This person is Turge, the deputy general of the Eastern Captives.

The eastern captives invaded the bandits, Abatai was ordered to be the general, and Turge was the deputy.

Speaking of Turge, his status is extremely high among the Eight Banners. He is the minister of the interior and belongs to one of the eight ministers.

In order to limit the power of the banner masters of each banner, Huang Taiji appointed a minister in charge under each of the eight banners.

Turge is one of the eight ministers. He belongs to Xiangbai Banner and lives in Gushan Ezhen.

Gushan means "flag" in Manchu, and Ezhen means chief officer. When translated, Gushan Ezhen is actually the banner owner.

However, Huang Taiji weakened the banners, and the Gushan Ezhen became a military and political official position, and there were several Gushan Ezhens under one banner, which no longer had the meaning of the banner owner.

Among the Eight Banners, except the upper three banners belonged to the emperor, the lower five banners belonged to nobles such as the kings, Bei Le, Bei Zi, etc. Gu Shan Ezhen even belonged to the banner owners in terms of identity.

So in name, Turge is actually a servant of Duoduo, the owner of the Xiangbai Banner. The confidant of Tai Chi.

Therefore, this time Huang Taiji asked Abatai to enter the bandits as the general who was ordered, and let Turg be his deputy. It may not mean that Turg supervised Abate.

Of course, the reason why Turge was able to become Xiangbaiqi Gushan Ezhen and Abate's deputy was definitely not only because he was Huang Taiji's confidant, but because he was very capable, otherwise Huang Taiji would not have used him as his confidant .

Turg's ability is not only reflected in his ability to conquer wars, because the Manchu Qing Dynasty has just risen, and he still retains the sturdy spirit he had when making a living in the mountains and forests. One by one dared to mount a horse and kill the enemy.

The reason why Turge was valued by Huang Taiji was that he was not only brave, but also courageous, resourceful, and thoughtful.

This time he came to rescue the hostages, in fact, in addition to looting Haizhou, the most important thing is to make Abate fall into his favor.He knew what Huang Taiji was thinking, not only asked him to supervise Abate, but also to win over Abate.

But not everyone agrees that Turg came to attack Haizhou. The generals next to him were eccentric and obviously did not want to attack the city.

One of them said: "Hmph, Abate is not here, what are we doing here?"

Another echoed: "That's right, let that brat suffer more."

Turge said: "It's good to suffer, but we can't let it go. It's inconvenient for the general to come, but we can't ignore it. But we can't let everyone come here for nothing. This time we invade Haizhou, and we will get everything." Evenly divided, not in the public school! I believe the general will not care about it."

For Turge, coming to attack Haizhou to save people is to give Abate a great favor. Naturally, the looted things don’t have to be handed in. Abate has to bear this responsibility for them, and he has to thank him. Huang Taiji would also think that he was able to do things well, and would not care about his embezzlement of some spoils.

After hearing what Turge said, everyone was satisfied. After all, they have heard about the wealth of Haizhou. There is no idiot here. They all know that the more you go south, the more things you can grab. , Many of them want to go to Nanjing.

Of course, Abatai’s worry is that he is mature and prudent, and he doesn’t want to lose too much. Although he didn’t fight the Ming army much this time, he also lost a lot of bannermen. The reason is simple. The climate is not acclimatized, and morale has been low up to now. If they really want to attack the strong city, the losses will inevitably be heavy.

Although he was envious of the wealthy women in Haizhou City, there was still a captive chief who worried: "But we can't attack by force."

Turge nodded, and he didn't want to attack by force: "Then it's up to Mr. Qian, the wise man. If he can really cooperate with the outside world and help my army take Haizhou, I wouldn't mind giving him a share!"

One of the chieftains laughed and said, "I'm afraid he won't dare to take it."

Turge laughed and said, "It's my general's favor to reward him, it's his duty not to take it!"

Everyone laughed.

Turge said: "It depends on whether Xiaoqian is always sensible, and whether he is sincerely attached."

A captive next to him nodded: "Then see if what he said is true."

What they were talking about was the news that Yang Chao betrayed them to the Zhizhou of Haizhou. If the news was false, what Yang Chao said was a lie. If the news was true, they really captured the Zhizhou of Haizhou. I just want to believe that Yang Chao sincerely surrenders. Of course, Yang Chao may also deceive others and refuse to surrender after entering the city.

But for them, it was just a few hundred more Ming soldiers entering the city. Although those who escaped from Zhenghongqi swore that the Ming army was extremely powerful, Turge and the others were actually I don't care.

Although they are in high positions, most of them have worked hard from the bottom, and they are also aware of some tricks.

They suspect that Dunbai said this, just to excuse themselves, and most of Dunbai's men are Yu Ding, and there are not many real fighters, so they can't beat the Ming army, which doesn't mean that Turg can't beat it. With tens of thousands of troops.

At this time, dozens of cavalry suddenly came from the southeast corner of Haizhou City.

A group of captive chieftains kept watching these people run to the front of the camp, and the officer on one of the horses rushed over immediately, kneeling on the ground with a happy expression on his face.

"Master is overjoyed, he really captured the governor of Haizhou!"

This person is Huang Qi.

Turge's face was also filled with joy: "Huang Qi, you have done a good job! I will be the master when I go back, and I will reward you with thirty dings!"

Huang Qi quickly kowtowed: "It's all a slave's job, I dare not ask the master for rewards."

Turge shook his head: "You Hannu don't have the truth in your mouth, you clearly want it but you insist on saying no. If you really don't want it, you won't be rewarded."

Huang Qi hastily smiled coquettishly: "Damn this slave, I said the wrong thing, the master's reward is grace, I dare not refuse it!"

Turge laughed: "Okay, you are going to the Ming army and tell Mr. Qian that he will be allowed to enter the city to cooperate with outsiders. If you play tricks, you will die!"

Huang Qi is Turg's confidant. Although he is timid, he has a good brain, so this time he got the job of persuading Yang Chao to surrender.

Huang Qi thought it was hard work at first, but now that it is about to be done, it is really a great achievement, so he is full of motivation, regardless of his hard work, he immediately ran to find Yang Chao.
