Chapter 655

Seeing that Wu Sangui also came with the other generals, Hong Chengchou, governor of Jiliao, and Qiu Minyang, governor of Liaodong, stopped talking with Zhang Ruoqi, the supervising army. They looked at Wu Sangui with smiles on their faces, but Zhang Ruoqi didn't seem too interested in him. .

Hong Chengchou even stood up and said with a smile: "Uncle, are you here to toast Zongbing Zhang and Zongbing Chen?"

Wu Sangui stood in the same place and saluted, "Returning to the governor, that's exactly what I mean!"

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard immediately and smiled and said: "It should be. General Zhang Cheng has performed outstandingly in suppressing thieves, and he is really a star of my great Ming Dynasty. Uncle, you are also brave and unique, and you are also a young man in Liaodong. Jiejun, the future is also limitless, as long as you get closer to him."

Wu Sangui gave another salute, and said: "The governor taught the right thing, and Sangui thinks the same way."

At this time, Zu Dale laughed and said: "There are Jiejun in Xuanzhen, and I also have Jiejun in Liaodong. From now on, this world will belong to you young people."

Zu Dale is the cousin of Zu Dashou, a famous general in Liaodong. The three brothers Zu Dashou, Zu Dabi and Zu Dale are all great generals in Liaodong. Their ancestral family was originally from Anhui. , the power is great.

Zu Dale can also be regarded as Wu Sangui's uncle, in his words, he tried his best to support Wu Sangui.

The Liaodong generals who came to toast together, when they heard what Zu Dale said, they all echoed. Only Liu Zhaoji, the general soldier of Liaodong, smiled and said nothing, with a slightly serious face.

Zhang Cheng looked at Wu Sangui, and saw two bright eyebrows on his fair face, and a straight nose bridge that aroused a masculine heroism, and his demeanor was undoubtedly that of a child of aristocratic family.

What is more eye-catching is the calm and steady aura between his brows, which is like a deep pool of still water, glistening and glistening. It is indeed very consistent with the legend, and it is actually the appearance of a handsome man in the world.

Looking at the appearance of the surrounding generals, they seemed to be the leader, and many of them were flattering, and even Hong Chengchou, governor of Jiliao, and Qiu Minyang, governor of Liaodong, had eyes full of love for Wu Sangui. There are more words of praise.

"It will win people's hearts!"

…………

Zhang Cheng's understanding of Wu Sangui was limited to knowing that he was as proud of his youth as he was. He was promoted to deputy commander in chief or even commander in chief at a young age, and finally became the unique leader of the army in Liaozhen when the Ming Dynasty fell.

After Li Zicheng attacked the capital and Chongzhen hanged Meishan to death, he became even more "a beauty in anger" and resolutely surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, becoming the number one general in its invasion of the Central Plains.

In the end, because of dissatisfaction with the Qing government's move to cut down the vassals, they raised the flag to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, which triggered the "San Francisco Rebellion" that lasted eight years. The great event of eradicating the Qing Dynasty and promoting the Ming Dynasty, but it backfired.

Precisely because he knew Wu Sangui's life well, but knew nothing about his specific circumstances, he was included in the intelligence department's list of key surveillance figures after serving as king for 11 years in Chongzhen.

According to the information obtained by Zhang Cheng, in the early years of Chongzhen, Wu Sangui's father, Wu Xiang, led his troops to patrol outside Jinzhou City, and was besieged by Jiannu cavalry regiments. Ding Qin followed, left the city without authorization, and broke into the enemy's formation.

Wu Sangui raised his sword and jumped on his horse to charge forward. As the saying goes, "To capture the thief, you must first capture the king." Wu Sangui shot the Jiannu general with an arrow first, and the man immediately fell off his horse.

He also wanted to cut off the slave general's head and go back to repay the meritorious service, so as to relieve the crime of leaving the city without authorization, so he bent down from the horse's back, but the slave general was not dead, he jumped up suddenly, and slashed the dagger The son stabbed Wu Sangui on the bridge of the nose.

It was too late for Wu Sangui to say it, but it was fast at that time, he raised his knife and dropped the slave general's head, then rushed into the slave formation, slashed and slashed, finally broke through the siege, and saved Wu Xiang from the trap .

Rescuing his father alone has been a good story ever since. Wu Sangui was not punished for leading troops out of the city without authorization, but instead made himself a prominent figure in the Liaozhen army. Jane is in the heart of the emperor.

Even the slave chief Huang Taiji knew the whole story later, he was full of praise for Wu Sangui, and couldn't help saying sourly: "If my family gets this person, why worry about the world?"

However, this battle also left a thin scar on the bridge of Wu Sangui's nose. From then on, when he was not congenial in talking with others, he would subconsciously "touch his nose" with his hands, which finally became a habit he could not get rid of. .

Wu Sangui hates and loves the scar on his nose.

What I hate is that this scar ruined his "beautiful and handsome" appearance. What I love is that this scar also completely opened up Wu Sangui's road to wealth, allowing him to rise from an unknown small school in the border town all the way to a high school. The frontier fortress commander in the late Ming Dynasty who entered the annals of history.

Wu Sangui's life since then was like a hang-up. He was a guerrilla general at the age of 20, promoted to the right battalion of the striker at the age of 23, and was the deputy general of the striker's right battalion at the age of 26.

At this time, the 28-year-old Wu Sangui had been promoted to the chief training officer of the Ningyuan regiment. With the full support of Hong Chengchou, governor of Jiliao, he devoted himself to training soldiers. In less than two years, he trained [-] Liao soldiers with great combat effectiveness.

Together with his father, Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui also privately raised a group of elite Wu family members, reaching a strength of [-] elite riders. Each team consisted of [-] riders and was divided into [-] teams. Each team had a leader. official.

He wrote the names of these cavalry officers on bamboo sticks, and put them in his boots on weekdays. In case of emergency, he took out a stick from the boot shaft and shouted the name of a certain cavalry officer , the cavalry leader is in charge of the cavalry team, and following him in conflicts and decisive battles is always invincible.

Moreover, Wu Sangui himself is also extremely brave and good at fighting. Just last year, when the Tartars first besieged Jinzhou, whether it was an encounter at Jiama Mountain, a surprise attack on the Qing soldiers' Xianglan Banner camp, or an ambush at Wudaoling, his performance was outstanding. Very outstanding.

Especially at the beginning of the 14th year of Chongzhen, Jiannu Luqi ravaged Jinzhou and Songshanbao.

Governor Hong Chengchou of Jiliao called Liaodong Governor Qiu Minyang and Ningyuan regiment commander Wu Sangui to discuss countermeasures together. From this, it can be seen that Wu Sangui has become one of Hong Chengchou's trusted core at this time, and Hong Chengchou's regard for him is obviously higher than that of other commanders.

And Wu Sangui himself did not disappoint Hong Chengchou. Not only did he volunteer to transport grain to Jinzhou City, but he was also able to surprise and accomplish this extremely difficult task very beautifully.
