Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 307 The surrendered general kneeled and licked Prince Yu, the traitor robbed the governor at night

After listening to Huang Degong's report, Aunt Zhu said, "The most important thing right now is to try to contact the civil and military officials in Yangzhou City to learn about the specific situation there. Do you have any suggestions for General Huang?"

Huang Degong said: "I think there is no other way, but to deal with the enemy in front of me, and lead the army to the vicinity of Yangzhou City as soon as possible."

Aunt Zhu said: "Okay, after Zeng Ying and Yang Zhan finish their work, we will hold a military meeting to discuss the strategy for marching into Yangzhou tomorrow."

"Yes."

···
at the same time.

Outside Yangzhou, the Manchurian Eight Banners camp.

In the largest camp, Duoduo, who just arrived today, is listening to the military reports of the Ming Dynasty generals who arrived in Yangzhou earlier, including Li Chengdong, Yang Chengzu, Zhang Tianlu, Zhang Tianfu, and Li Yuchun.

These generals were all Duoduo who went south this time, and because of his military power, they either voluntarily or half-forced to surrender.

Among them, Li Chengdong, Yang Chengzu, and Li Jiyu were originally Gao Jie's subordinates.

At the beginning of spring, Gao Jie was killed by Xu Dingguo in Suizhou. Due to Shi Kefa's mishandling, Gao Jie's subordinates scattered and almost lost control.

In the past few months, they have attacked and annexed each other. When the Qing army went south, Li Chengdong's troops had the largest number of troops, with about [-] people.

Li Benshen, the admiral appointed by Shi Kefa and former Gao Jie's nephew Li Benshen, has only a few generals such as General Soldier Yang Chengzu and Li Jiyu, and the strength of the army is not as good as that of Li Chengdong.

Not long ago, after Li Benshen surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing army followed the usual practice, taking him as the successor of Gao Jie with the highest military system, and sent him to Beijing to treat him as a vassal.

So far, the second strongest army in the four towns of Jiangbei, now the main generals have surrendered to the Qing army.

As for Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu, they were former generals and guerrillas of the Shaanxi army, and were defeated in Jianghuai. When Shi Kefa rectified the troops in Jiangbei, they were promoted to generals and deputy generals, with more than 3000 troops.

The two brothers were originally stationed in Guazhou Town. A few days ago, they were ordered by Shi Kefa to go to the north of Yangzhou to occupy the enemy.

After the Qing army surrendered the Ming army, they did not reorganize it. They just took the family members of the main general as hostages, and then drove them as forwards to attack the city...
"Li Chengdong, you came to the city of Yangzhou three days ago, tell me, what achievements do you have?"

Although he was in the military camp, Duoduo was only wearing casual clothes, and sat casually on a grand master's chair.

He was only 32 years old this year, with a short but thick beard around his mouth, profound facial features, and narrow eyebrows and eyes. Even at this time, his expression was calm, but he gave off a stern feeling.

Li Chengdong is also 34, but he looks like he is in his early forties, tall and thin, with a not exaggerated beard.

Hearing this, he followed the rules of the Qing army, knelt down on one knee to Duoduo, cupped his fists and said, "I would like to report to King Yu, after all, Yangzhou is a tall and strong city, guarded by [-] to [-] soldiers and horses, and our troops came here in a hurry." , it is really difficult to overcome.

However, in the past few days, the last general ordered the army to urge the craftsmen and peasants to make siege equipment, and at the same time sent people to persuade the city to surrender.

He also took the opportunity of persuading him to surrender and shot letters into the city to seek internal response.

Today, I may have borrowed your luck, King Yu, to contact Li Qifeng, the commander-in-chief of the upper city, and Gao Fengqi, the deputy envoy of the supervising army.

They said that tonight they would kidnap Shi Kefa and open the city gates to return to the Qing Dynasty. "

"Yeah." Dodo nodded, "You still have some uses."

Although it was a compliment, Doduo still had a calm expression, apparently not paying much attention to this matter.

Li Chengdong hesitated, and then said: "At the end of today, the general sent a thousand light cavalry to the south, intending to capture Guazhoudu, but was blocked by Huang Degong's forward.

The general thought that Huang Degong would lead his army to support the Ming army in Yangzhou in the day after tomorrow. "

"Huang Degong..." Duoduo narrowed his long and narrow eyes, and then chuckled, "It would be better if he came—this king heard that Huang Degong's troops led the Ming Army's four towns in Jiangbei.

Since he dared to lead his troops to support Yangzhou, the king defeated him.

So after taking Yangzhou, what soldiers and horses are there in the Ming Dynasty?Jieshi Benwang can then lead his army to the south, take Nanjing in one fell swoop, and completely destroy the Ming Dynasty! "

Li Chengdong, Yang Chengzu and others below looked at each other, and immediately clasped their fists together and said: "King Yu is brilliant and wise!"

Although Duoduo was indifferent to the flattery of a few people, he was in a good mood when he thought that he would soon win Yangzhou and Nanjing, and defeat the Hongguang court of the Ming Dynasty.

Just at this time a Goshha came in and whispered in Duduo's ear, "Li Chengdong sent you twenty Han beauties, Yang Chengzu sent ten, Li Jiyu and the Zhang brothers sent five each. "

Duoduo was even more happy when he heard the words, and immediately laughed and said: "Okay, you are really good slaves of my Qing Dynasty.

Tonight...Well, since there should be actions in the city tonight, our banquet may delay things.

In this way, when Yangzhou is captured tomorrow, I will entertain you all at the largest restaurant in Yangzhou City! "

Li Chengdong and others saw that Jin Xianmei really won the favor of Duoduo, and they were also very happy, they immediately knelt down on one knee together, clasped their fists and said, "Thank you King Yu!"

Afterwards, Li Chengdong and others left Duduo's camp. Before they could go out, they faintly heard a woman's scream coming from Duduo's big tent.

Several people looked at each other, and then showed smiles that understood each other.

As for the more and more miserable screams of those women, no one paid attention to them...

That night.

In the city of Yangzhou, Li Qifeng, the commander-in-chief, and Gao Fengqi, deputy envoy of the supervising army, colluded with Sichuan generals Hu Shangyou and Han Shangliang, plotting to hijack Shi Kefa and force open the city gate, dedicating the city to the Qing army.

As a result, before any action was taken, He Gang, the leader of the Zhongguanying Minyong, saw through and reported to Liu Zhaoji, the commander in chief.

Immediately, Liu Zhaoji led more than 8000 soldiers from his headquarters to confront the North City of Yangzhou with [-] people including Li Qifeng.

Liu Zhaoji, He Gang and others wanted to wipe out Li Qifeng and other rebels in the city, but the governor Shi Kefa worried that they could not make a quick decision, so the Qing army looked for an opportunity to break through the city, so he ordered the gates of the city to be opened and Li Qifeng and others to leave the city.

Because Li Qifeng and other rebel generals acted more than half an hour earlier than the agreed time, the Qing army failed to send troops in time to respond.

Therefore, Li Qifeng, Gao Fengqi and others had no choice but to lead the rebels out of the city to surrender to the Qing...
After Li Qifeng and other rebels left the city, Shi Kefa took Shi Dewei, Liu Zhaoji, He Gang and others to the city wall. Looking at the continuous Qing army camp outside the city, he couldn't help frowning and sighing.

He Gang is a literati, not only the leader of Zhongguanying, but also one of Shi Kefa's staff.

Seeing this, he couldn't help complaining: "Supervisor, although Li Qifeng, Hu Shangyou, and Han Shangliang have a combined force of 8000 to [-] people, they are rebels with no morale. Our army surrounds and attacks them, and they can be wiped out in a short while. Why bother?" Let them out of town?

Not to mention the increase in the Qing army's siege force this time, what do other weak-willed people in the city think? "

Shi Kefa was not angry when he was complained by a member of staff, he was silent for a while before he said: "There is no reinforcements from outside, now Yangzhou has become an isolated city, if we destroy them, can we hold Yangzhou?"

He Gang, Liu Zhaoji and others were astonished when they heard this.

Why didn't I expect such despondent words to come from the mouth of the supervisor.

What is a supervisor?It is the commander of the first army.

To let the soldiers below know that the coach has no confidence in defending the city, how can he be willing to defend the city with his heart?

Even if Shi Kefa said the truth, he shouldn't say this idea!
Liu Zhaoji immediately said: "Why should the supervisor be so discouraged? Yangzhou City is tall and strong, and I have [-] to [-] defenders, and tens of thousands of strong people to help defend the city, and there is no shortage of food and grass. How can I defend it for ten and a half months?" .”

"Ten and a half months later?" Shi Kefa asked.

Liu Zhaoji said: "I heard from the supervisor earlier that the imperial court dispatched the Marquis of Jingnan to the upper reaches of the river to intercept the army of Princess Jian Guo.

In the end, the general expected that after such a long time, there must be a result, right?After the imperial court receives the letter from the supervisor asking for help, it will urgently order the Marquis of Jingnan to come to help. "

　Second more.

　　Good night~
