The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 747 Blocking News
Jiang Xin still pretended to be an honest person, and said without thinking:
"However, there is a huge disparity in strength. This officer estimates that the 'Red Banner Army' deliberately let some of our brothers go, so that through their mouths, everything that happened in Seoul will be made public.

Doing so is equivalent to telling all Han Chinese and Koreans in the Qing Dynasty that as long as they choose to surrender, they will definitely be pardoned. "

These words were actually testing Kong Youde, Zhang Hongmo, Yang Huazheng, Duan Xueli, etc. Jiang Xin peeked at their reactions.

After hearing this, Zhang Hongmo and Yang Huazheng exchanged glances with each other. They had no loyalty to Man Qing, and they were very happy to learn that surrender could save their lives.

Kong Youde, a traitor, seemed to be a bit stubborn, his face sank when he heard this, and he asked sharply:

"Could Mr. Jiang be a lobbyist sent by the 'Red Banner Army'? Presumably, you escaped for hundreds of miles unscathed. It doesn't make sense if the 'Red Banner Army' deliberately arranged it."

Jiang Xin didn't panic at all, and said sincerely: "Reporting to King Gongshun, there were more than 1000 people when the officials ran out.

But the brothers who were injured by cannons and guns while running and running couldn't hold on to falling behind, so the number of injuries that ran back was not many, not even [-]%.

This officer is surrounded by his servants, although he did not fight the 'Red Banner Army', but many of the brothers who came back fought with the 'Red Banner Army' in the trenches. If you don't believe me, you can tell a few injured low-level officers. . "

Kong Youde was not confused, he would not give up if he didn't understand this matter, and immediately asked his confidant servant to bring two or three people in to inquire.

Lu Yuanhua's arms were hanging, his face was swollen like a pig's head, and he was Bai Zong. He was caught by Kong Youde's servant, Kong Laosan, and he and two other injured chief banner officers were taken to King Xingyuan of Gongshun.

Kong Youde's residence is not a temporary building, but a luxurious manor outside the city of a high-ranking official from the former Korean state.

When he saw Lu Yuanhua, Kong Youde believed that Lu Yuanhua had fought against the "Red Banner Army".

Lu Yuanhua, who had already prepared a routine and negotiated with Jiang Xin, knew it well. He spit and spat, and described the vicious battle against Zhang Cunren as a melee with the "Red Banner Army".

He didn't emphasize killing, but talked about a random word.

This is the highest state of lying again, it's all true, but the protagonist is changed, and he doesn't brag for himself at all, emphasizing that the scuffle that happened is a last resort, and everyone is running away. The scene is a mess.

This kind of narration is very vivid, listening to Kong Youde, Zhang Hongmo, Yang Huazheng, etc. is like being there.

After hearing Lu Yuanhua's story, Kong Youde and others believed that they really came back, and Jiang Xin's reason was very good. The reason why he came back was because he couldn't let go of his three-year-old son who stayed in Shengjing.

Zhang Hongmo and the others were more familiar with Jiang Xin's situation. They were all captured in the Battle of Daling River, and they were all alone. They only married wives and took concubines later.

Jiang Xin has a wife and children in his hometown, but he must be implicated because of Jiang Xin's betrayal of Daming, and no one can say whether he will survive.

Now Jiang Xin has two concubines, both of whom are from Korea, and one of them gave birth to a fat boy for him, and they all live in Shengjing now.

It also makes sense for Jiang Xin to be reluctant to vote for his son because of his reluctance.

After inquiring clearly, Lu Yuanhua was promoted on the spot by Kong Youde to be the commander-in-chief, and he was actually awarded. The soldiers under his command were selected from those who ran back, and Kong Youde arranged for three confidants to supervise the army.

Jiang Xin was the highest official who came back from Seoul. Kong Youde wrote a special book about Jiang Xin’s refusal to betray the Qing Dynasty. He also wrote a memorial and sent it to Shengjing to request that Jiang Xin be exempted from the crime of losing his teacher and land.

After a few days, Jiang Xin found out that he had made the right decision to come back as an undercover agent, because Jiannu ransacked the homes of all the generals who surrendered to the "Red Banner Army", and cut all the males of their families to death at the entrance of the vegetable market.
The son of Geng Zhongming, King Huaishun, was the first to bear the brunt. He spent [-] knives and was hacked for three days before he died.

Although Jiang Xin knew that the two concubines who had been robbed could not have feelings for him, he still had feelings for his babbling son.
He thought in his heart that even if he succeeded in instigating against the Han army this time, after the Koryo soldiers defected to the "Red Banner Army", he had to keep a low profile, and asked the General Zhenglu to block the news, and try not to let his son be cut to pieces.

Jiang Xin, Lu Yuanhua, etc. Infernal Affairs have been active for several months. They are for their own safety and to be able to complete the task.

They will definitely try their best to encourage a large number of Han and Goryeo soldiers to turn against each other. Only with a large number of people and strong strength can they form gang fights to fight against the troops with the white banner.

It's just that the atmosphere in Pyongyang's defense line is weird. Kong Youde's ability is much stronger than Geng Zhongming's. In addition, Duoduo controls the food and military supplies, and the progress of instigating rebellion is not smooth.

At the end of March, Zheng Zhilong, who was far away in Fujian, was shocked when he received the imperial edict to transfer him to Liaohai to participate in the battle to recover Korea. He realized that the general Zhenglu had made a move.

Afterwards, a letter came from the adults who had made good friends in the capital. Zheng Zhilong figured out the situation and knew that now he was faced with a choice, whether to resist the decree and immediately lead the old department to become pirates again, or to obediently send at least fifty warships to Liaodong to let the generals conquer The general swallowed it?
With money and status, Zheng Zhilong is no longer the decisive and decisive bandit he used to be. He began to worry about gains and losses. Historically, he lost his life because he lost his head and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

Wealth does not return to one's homeland like walking through the night. Zheng Zhilong built a luxurious mansion in Shijing Town, Nan'an, Quanzhou, Fujian Province, and purchased a large number of acres of land.

These problems are not the key. The most terrible thing is that Zheng Zhilong, who is familiar with naval battles, has been on the clippers many times and observed the Longwu navy that has risen in the past two years with binoculars. There are as many as dozens of warships.

Zheng Zhilong has fought in naval battles for half his life, and he has also fought a few battles with Xiyi deck warships.

Every time, the lack of quality is made up for by the absolute advantage of quantity. With the heavy reward, there must be a brave man, let his subordinates set fire in a small boat, and jump to the gang to carry out a sea battle.

Although they were able to repel Xiyi in the end, their own side suffered a lot, and it was definitely a miserable victory.

Zheng Zhilong and his subordinates have learned from experience that to deal with Xiyi deck warships, they must have more than ten times the number of ships and choose a sea area that is conducive to siege in order to win.

Fortunately, the Daming sea area is too far away from the Xiyi mainland. There are not many warships of the Dutch, Francois, and Spaniards who traded and robbed in this sea area. Seven or eight warships found at one time are considered large-scale, so Zheng Zhilong There is a chance to hit them.
