The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 739

The Han army in Seoul and the Goryeo soldiers turned against the slaves and rioted, which made the "Red Banner Army" take the city without bloodshed, which inspired Huang Han.

Subduing the enemy without fighting is the highest level of military use. It is known that under the high-pressure policy of Jiannu and the deterrence of the "Red Banner Army" force, the hearts of the Han and Korean soldiers were distracted. Of course, they must be used to the extreme.

Since they did not intend to encircle and wipe out all the Qing troops at the beginning, when they defeated the Qing army's defense line in Seoul, many of the Qing troops on the periphery must have fled towards Kaesong and Pyongyang. These people will definitely spread the reputation of the "Red Banner Army" to Pyongyang In the ears of the defenders.

It is not enough to rely on these people to go back and spread the gossip, and we must increase the propaganda.

Huang Han heard that Liu Zaiqier had ordered him to find hundreds of defected Han soldiers and Korean soldiers, and let these people flee back to Pyongyang under the pretext of being defeated by the "Red Banner Army".

As for whether these untrustworthy Qing troops chose to work for Jiannu after returning to Pyongyang, Huang Han didn't care at all.

Huang Han believes that there are a few hundred more mouths to spread the word of what happened in Seoul. It is only Geng Zhongming who turned against him and killed four thousand Mongolian cavalry. Goryeo servant army.

Unfortunately, Jiang Xin, who is good at saving his life and choosing the right time to surrender, was named and released by the general who conquered him again.

Liu Zaiqi sent someone to find Jiang Xin, who drank a little wine and fell asleep, and told him that he needed to continue to return to the side of Jiannu to make known what happened in Seoul to the public, and when more Han soldiers and Korean soldiers surrendered, Jiang Xin burst into tears. You have to scream.

It was obvious that this kid didn't dare to go back and take risks, Liu Zaiqi earnestly said:

"Master Jiang, don't you think about your own future? You just surrendered, not defected. You haven't made any achievements. It may not be easy to keep your official position.

There is a limit to getting real gold and silver as rewards. In the end, you can only participate in reclamation as ordinary people. Do you know how to farm? "

This question is very realistic, and it is related to how to live in the second half of life?

Jiang Xin held back his tears and asked, "Master Liu, is it true that the general who conquered the prisoners called his name and ordered his subordinates to lead hundreds of people to flee to Pyongyang to see what happens?"

Liu Zaiqi said cheerfully: "Of course, before you leave, I can take you to see General Zhenglu. You will naturally understand if I am lying to you."

Jiang Xin wondered: "If the lower official lives up to his mission and comes back alive, can he really get an official position?"

"Haha, when you see General Zhenglu, you can ask him face to face."

Jiang Xin thought for a while, Kong Youde was an old general of Dongjiang Town and had a normal relationship with him, but now his status is still very different, and he can't even afford to climb high.

However, many generals on the Pyongyang defense line were captured together and chose to surrender and become slaves, such as first-class lieutenant Zhang Hongmo, third-rank lieutenant Yang Huazheng, general Duan Xueli and so on.

These people usually have a close relationship with themselves, and they have formed a small group, which is composed of more than a hundred generals who surrendered and became slaves among the Liao people who were aided by Zhang Chun in the fourth year of Chongzhen.

Jiang Xin has already seen how powerful the "Red Banner Army" is. Even a young soldier with an immature face can write and understand the art of war. How easy is it to get an official position in this group?
If you don't get the official position with any credit, can you spend the rest of your life digging in the soil of North Korea?

After thinking about it, Jiang Xin gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble.

He said: "Master Liu, I am willing to bring people back to the side where the slaves were established to try to instigate more Han troops and Goryeo soldiers to defect. I request you to take this official to listen to the advice of General Zhenglu."

That night, Jiang Xin saw the amiable Huang Han, who knelt down and kowtowed from afar, and then crawled all the way to Huang Han's feet.

He was very shameless, and shouted: "My minister kowtows to His Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"

Fortunately, the original Huaishun Wang Xingyuan now only has Song Pengfei, Gao Youmou, Zheng Xiaowen, Huang Ang, Liu Zaiqi and other absolute confidants in the conference hall of the temporary official residence of the General Zhenglu.

The restless Sun Chuanting went out of the city with a guard of the General Banner Guards Battalion to see the terrain.

Seeing that Jiang Xin was so shameless, Huang Han was moved to take him in to do things.

Governing a great country cannot be dedicated to honest and gentlemen, but some shameless villains must be used. Often villains don't care about the attitude of the world and only want to flatter their masters.

Officials engaged in propaganda cannot choose moral gentlemen, otherwise, how can they open their eyes and talk nonsense?
I think Liu Zaiqi, a villain who is extremely afraid of death, was used back then. He fulfilled his mission and has been the leader of the propaganda team at the same level as the leader of the first battalion.

Now Liu Zaiqi has never been serious about carrying out Huang Han's orders. Today, when Liu Zaiqi heard Jiang Xin meeting the Patriarch, he shouted Long Live Your Majesty, and his face was extremely happy, which was evident.

However, Gao Youmou, Zheng Xiaowen, and even Song Pengfei didn't react when they heard Jiang Xin's name, and they all opened their mouths in shock. It can be seen that they have not yet realized that they are about to become Jackie Chan's ministers.

Huang Han pretended to be angry and said: "Jiang Xinxiu is talking nonsense, Jiannu's tricks are well known, you are doing this in the hands of the slave chief."

Jiang Xin flattered: "Your Majesty, I know the content of the slave chief's edict, and know that if your majesty is willing to accept the slave chief's conditions, the slave chief will immediately go to the emperor's title to profess his ministers to your majesty, and help your majesty take all the Daming Jiangshan to become the emperor... ..."

Huang Han interrupted Jiang Xin's flattery and said: "Okay, okay, don't talk about these meaningless topics, remember, you are not allowed to overstep in the future, tell me, what is your purpose for asking to see me?"

Jiang Xin kowtowed again, saying: "General, I am willing to go to Pyongyang again to contact the Han army and the Koryo soldiers to defect. If I succeed in my humble position, I don't want high-ranking officials and rich salary, but I just want to be able to lead a horse in front of the general's tent."

Huang Han looked at Jiang Xin, then looked at Liu Zaiqi, and promised: "If you return from meritorious service, I will give you the honor of serving as Mr. Liu's deputy. From now on, you will participate in propaganda and instigating rebellion."

In the past few days, Jiang Xin has already inquired about the treatment of the "Red Banner Army". He knows that there are many ex-Ming generals and deputy generals who have been appointed as a thousand generals in the "Red Banner Army". Kowtow shows loyalty.

The next day, Jiang Xin and Liu Zaiqi selected 600 people and unified the caliber. Among them were the injured Baizong Lu Yuanhua, and Jiang Xin's old subordinate Xie Hu, and Dou Kuai, who is a good bird gun player...

Of course, important people should be paid for their lives. Ordinary soldiers who choose to go back and participate in the instigation of rebellion can get the treatment of trainee soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" after returning. As long as they pass the exam, they will immediately become regular soldiers.

The same is true for officers, but the selection of officers in the "Red Banner Army" is becoming more and more strict. Without a strong cultural foundation, it may be difficult to pass the test. teach.
