Chapter 108 The Princes Pilgrimage(2/2)
Three towns.
When this decree was sent to Changsha, He Tengjiao and Du Yinxi were very surprised. At that time, Li Zicheng had just died, and the Shun army camps were in chaos. Some people planned to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, some planned to take Jiangxi, and some planned to go to Sichuan to join forces with Zhang Xianzhong.
Although He Tengjiao and others also recruited troops and gathered in Changsha, their forces were actually very weak, and there was an Azige army in Jiangxi. Suddenly, a decree came from eastern Zhejiang, and an angel told everyone that King Lu was supervising the country in eastern Zhejiang.
It was indeed a bit surprising to give them officers and promotions, and to ask them to unite with thieves to fight against the captives.
However, He Tengjiao and the others could not defeat Li Zicheng. When Zuo Liangyu was guarding Hubei, he boasted an army of 800,000 people, but they did not dare to fight Li Zicheng. How could they be their opponents?
Before Lu Jianguo's decree came, He Tengjiao originally sent several groups of troops to negotiate with the Shun army. However, they were misunderstood by the Shun army as coming for encirclement and suppression. As a result, several groups of He Tengjiao's officers and troops were killed in succession, leaving He Tengjiao and the others in Changsha City.
Three surprises a day.
Now that there is a decree to supervise the country, one can legitimately openly contact the Shun army, and even recruit surrender in the name of the imperial court.
He Tengjiao was promoted from the governor of Huguang to the governor of the five provinces, and Du Yinxi was also promoted to the governor. After repeated discussions, they decided to formally contact the Shun army and recruit them according to the order of the supervisory state.
The recruitment process was going well. At this time, the Shun army was leaderless and people were in panic. Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin and others died in battle. At this time, the Shun army had completely collapsed.
In the Huguang and Jiangxi areas, the most powerful force was the Qing army. The Qing army drove them all the way from Beijing to Xi'an, then to Wuchang, and then to Changsha. They were at the end of their rope.
Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, the Ming Dynasty is actually willing to recruit them, and they think it is feasible after discussion.
As a result, Du Yinxi, who had initially reached an agreement on the recruitment, rushed to Shaoxing this time to meet with the supervisor in person and report the specific recruitment matters.
When he came this time, he also brought three thousand troops.
It was Fu Biao who he recruited in Changsha, known as the Junziying. After arriving here, he heard that the Jianguo pro-army was going on the Northern Expedition, so he planned to take the Junziying across the sea to join the expedition.
"I will also go with you to see the prison country!" Huang Daozhou thought about it and decided to go north together.
So Zhang Kentang, the governor of Fujian, Qu Shishu, the governor of Guangxi, Du Yinxi, the governor of Hunan, and Huang Daozhou, the governor of Jinquyan. The four governors and Deng Wang Zhu Yujian, the national surname Zhu Chenggong and other hundreds of officials led the gentleman camp, and Prince Deng
The guards, the Zheng family's servants, and others totaled 12,000 people, marching northward with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and a lot of food.
In the gentleman's camp, Li Jin, the nephew of the intruder named Li Chixin, and Hao Yaoqi, the intruder general, and Yuan Zongdi rode on the horse dressed as Hunan Fubiao's servants. "I didn't expect that this Lu Jianguo was so kind that he could actually kiss him."
It's great to take the lead in crossing the Yangtze River and marching north with troops and horses."
"Indeed, and he seems to be very capable of fighting. He actually annihilated 5,500 Tatar soldiers and horses, including 500 real Tatars."
Li Jin said, "I think this supervisor's behavior is very similar to that of several of our kings in the past. He always took the lead in the charge."
Yuan Zongdi said, "It's better to follow such a boss. An emperor like Hongguang, whose soldiers are fighting on the front lines, abandons the capital and flees. How can he fight? Even Chongzhen can't do it. Everyone hasn't given up yet. He himself
She just hanged herself like a girl."
"Indeed, I just don't know how sincere Lu Jianguo, who offered to recruit people, is sincere!" Li Jin was still a little unsure about this move.
But Dashun's army was at the end of its rope. Faced with the rope thrown by Lu Jianguo, they had no reason not to accept it.
"Well, seeing him is better than hearing it. When we see him in person, we will know what is going on." Yuan Zongdi also said, this time, after discussion, the remaining thirteen families of the Dashun Army sent Li Jin and Yuan Zong
