The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 81 Warlord
After Gao Yigong and Gao's were suppressed, all the generals in the tent also resigned one after another.

The noise outside the tent also gradually dissipated, the sound of horseshoes went away, and they quickly left the camp.

The tranquility was restored in the tent again, the tent was empty, and there were only four people left in the tent.

Gao Jie, Xing Shi, Zhao Huailiang and Chen Wang sitting at the head.

Hu Zhili had already led people out of the camp to dispatch Tang Guizhong and the auxiliary soldiers in the city.

At this time, Chen Wang turned his attention to Gao Jie and Xing Shi.

Gao Jie was indeed born with a good-looking talent and a tall stature.

Whether you look at it from the current perspective or the perspective of future generations, he is first-class and handsome, no wonder he will attract the admiration of the Xing family.

In the original historical process, Gao Jie's existence was very important. After he left under Li Zicheng's command, he followed He Renlong in the campaign and was promoted all the way to the commander-in-chief.

Then the city of Beijing fell, and the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River supported Zhu Yousong, the king of Fu, to ascend the throne.

Gao Jie was granted the title of Uncle Xingping, and together with Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, and Huang Degong, they were called the Four Towns of Jiangbei, and they were prominent at that time.

However, the military discipline under his command is unbearable, and he often plunders the people, and he supports his troops with self-respect, just like Zuo Liangyu.

At that time Gao Jie was arrogant and domineering, Shi Kefa ordered him to guard Yangzhou and stationed troops outside the city, but Gao Jie wanted to occupy Yangzhou and enter the city.

But the people of Yangzhou were afraid of Gao Jie and refused to agree. Gao Jie even attacked the city with his troops, which shows his arrogance and domineering.

But the current Gao Jie doesn't look arrogant and domineering at all.

Seeing Chen Wang cast his gaze, Gao Jie, who was standing upright, knelt down on the ground without hesitation, kowtowed and said tremblingly.

"Criminal Gao Jie, pay my respects to General Chen."

Xing, who was standing beside Gao Jie, followed Gao Jie and knelt down on the ground.

Chen Wang was not in a hurry to speak, but turned to look at Xing Shi first.

Chen Wang's eyes are very good, and he can see clearly.

Before Gao Jie bowed down, Xing made a slight push on him, which was obviously a reminder.

Xing's birth is indeed beautiful, with a scorpion head and moth brows, flowing in waves, but what is even more rare is his talent.

Being able to coordinate the tens of thousands of troops, the food and grass expenses of hundreds of thousands of refugees, and the deployment of armaments is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Brother Gao is the hero in this battle, and you must not pretend to be a crime against the people."

"Brother Gao contributed a lot to this great victory, and I will definitely not miss it in the documents describing the achievements."

Chen Wang didn't continue to sit on the seat, he got off the seat and walked up to him, and helped Gao Jie who was kneeling on the ground to stand up.

"Brother Gao abandoned the darkness and turned to the light. When he first arrived, he presented a big gift. When the army received the battle report, he must be very relieved."

"In terms of rewards for meritorious deeds, maybe Brother Gao can directly lead a battalion alone."

Chen Wang did not maintain a superior attitude towards Gao Jie, nor did he despise him.

After all, there are still many opportunities to meet in the future, so there is no need to turn against each other.

Moreover, Gao Jie and He Renlong are from the same hometown, and the power of the township party is particularly important in this era.

After Gao Jie joined the Ming army system, he belonged to He Renlong's lineage.

And most importantly, the current Gao Jie did not abscond by himself, but received a letter from Chen Wang first.

In a sense, Chen Wang himself is now Gao Jie's benefactor, and the two have long been inextricably linked.

Regarding what Chen Wang said, Gao Jie seemed a little flattered, he didn't even dare to say it, but his face was full of smiles.

The reason why he took such a big risk was because he wanted to ascend to a high position.

After all, it is not happy to follow other people's subordinates, but it is also comfortable and convenient to lead a battalion alone.

Chen Wang was always paying attention to Gao Jie's expression, and he could see Gao Jie's every move.

Right now, Gao Jie hasn't grown up yet, he is like an ordinary bandit leader, with expressions of joy and anger, not like a fake, it is not difficult to figure out his mind.

But this is also a good thing, if it is really an old fox, it will be difficult to win over.

The most important step in becoming a warlord is to establish a good relationship with the other towns and battalions and generals.

The more friends you have, the fewer enemies you have. Even if you can't be friends, at least you can't become resistance.

If the relationship is close, when encountering the enemy army, the friendly army can at least provide some assistance, so that it will not encounter the situation of moving like a mountain and turning into the wind.

"I have already found a mansion in the county. Brother Gao will settle down in the county for the time being. The credit for this battle still needs to wait for the Ministry of War to be approved. After the audit, there will be an edict."

Chen Wang is really not very good at interpersonal communication, and the greeting and sending in the officialdom is a bit difficult to understand.

"If there is anything, just come and let me know, don't be afraid of trouble."

"After the war, I was busy with affairs. I also have affairs to deal with later, so I won't keep Brother Gao."

Chen Wang tilted his head slightly, looking at Zhao Huailiang who was standing aside.

"Huai Liang."

When it comes to interpersonal communication, Zhao Huailiang is several times better than him, and he is extremely experienced in dealing with people and dealing with things. It is very appropriate to entrust these matters to him.

"You take brother Gao to the mansion to settle down first."

Zhao Huailiang stepped forward as ordered, Gao Jie and Xing Shi thanked him again, and then they left the military tent with Zhao Huailiang.

Chen Wang watched Gao Jie's back until he left the military tent before sitting back in his seat.

The tent was empty except for Chen Wang.

If you want to change from a battalion soldier to a warlord, the most important thing is to have soldiers in your hands.

Zuo Liangyu gathered a lot of rogues who surrendered in Huaiqing and other places, and used them as non-staffed auxiliary soldiers. There were two to 3000 people in that part.

The total number of troops under Zuo Liangyu's command is only 3000, and the headquarters has nearly 6000. Counting those surrendered troops, the total number of troops is already close to [-].

These auxiliary soldiers are now staying with Tang Jiuzhou in Wucun and Wawu in the east of Shangluo County to prevent the rogues from fleeing to Neixiang and Zhechuan in Henan.

It was precisely because of the strong soldiers and horses under his command that Zuo Liangyu's position became more and more stable.

The generals of each battalion have done more or less the act of recruiting rogue soldiers to serve as auxiliary soldiers.

As the commander in chief, Tian Yinglong had more troops under his command than those led by He Renlong and Zhang Quanchang, because he had recruited many rogue soldiers.

Hong Chengchou has always turned a blind eye to such things. As long as he can win the battle, these are irrelevant things.

This battle did capture a lot of soldiers, but many of these soldiers have already tasted the taste of flesh and blood.

Let them eat ordinary rice, how can they get used to it...

"History of Ming Dynasty Biography No. 160":
"Gao Jie and Zu Kuan are tough and hard to tame, relying on merit, but Jie is especially fierce."

"Ranjie was killed when he was determined to forge ahead, and he was punished after he fought hard to help. Death is not a crime, and there is no regret."

"Little Shy Years":
"Gao Jie has thirteen soldiers in command, all of whom are from the Northwest."

"Jie's violent resistance cannot be subordinated to others, and if he suppresses it, chaos will never stop."
