Tian Jianxiu, in the Dashun Dynasty, was conferred the title of Marquis of Ci.Like Liu Zongmin, he is the official position of Admiral Zhu Yingquan.It's just that his personality is not as hot as Liu Zongmin, on the contrary, he is quite gentle, and even has some benevolence of a woman.This also led to his authority not as high as Liu Zongmin, and his popularity is not as good as Liu Zongmin.However, from another point of view, his popularity is much better than that of Liu Zongmin.

After Liu Zongmin's death in battle, Tian Jianxiu became the mainstay among the veterans of the Dashun Army, the same figure as the backbone.

"Where there are crowds, there are left, middle and right." Regarding the attitude towards the Southern Guangdong Army, the rest of the Dashun Army also had different attitudes.If you are conservative, I suggest that you still follow the old path of the year, and the two sides will carry out happy and frequent trade activities. I will pay with various hard currencies you like, and you will sell me all kinds of goods I need.This is the attitude of a group of people.The more radical ones advocated joining forces with the Southern Guangdong Army and fighting in joint operations in accordance with the methods of various peasant armies back then.In this way, "We have enough food, grass and gunpowder, and we don't need to worry about military pay, wounded, medical treatment and placement. Everyone just needs to fight the enemy in front of us!"

Luo Hu, Wu Ruyi and others who were relatively close to the Nanyue Army in the camp, quietly expressed their views to Gao Guiying.Their opinions are more radical than fighting against the coalition.

As the current flag of the Dashun Army and the queen of the Dashun court, Gao Guiying also knows the current situation that the Dashun Army is facing. Find a place that can shelter the Dashun Army who is currently in a precarious situation.

Therefore, Tian Jianxiu led the team, Luo Hu and Wu Ruyi participated, and Li Laiheng, the son of Li Guo, came to experience the formation of this delegation.From this composition, we can see Gao Guiying's painstaking efforts.

Tian Jianxiu is the representative of the old people, Luo Hu is the commander of the new army and the leader of the second generation of Chuangying, Wu Ruyi is Li Zicheng's chief of the Chinese army, an absolute confidant.Li Laiheng is the third generation of the Li family.The opinions and decisions made by this delegation are absolutely persuasive and authoritative among the Dashun Army.

Tian Jianxiu and his group rode their horses towards Xiushui County along the very flat and wide official road, led by the guide sent by the Nanyue Army.

As soon as he arrived in Xiushui City, Tian Jianxiu felt that the atmosphere was not right, it was very solemn.

In front of the originally tall city tower and in the open space behind the suspension bridge, a huge archway was built with thick moso bamboo.On the archway, pine branches, black gauze and white silk are used to tie up the shape.The four big characters in the middle were a little unclear for a while.

Not only was a huge archway erected in front of the city gate, but the entire city gate became a huge spiritual shed.The officers and soldiers of the Southern Guangdong Army walking in and out of the city wall, inside and outside the city gate, all had black gauze wrapped around their right arms, the red tassels on their helmets were wrapped with white silk, and the handles of their knives were also wrapped with black or white cloth. It's Dai Xiao's etiquette!

"Excuse me, what happened in your army?" Wu Ruyi had much more experience in this kind of thing than Tian Jianxiu, so he immediately asked the guide.

"My lord doesn't know. The leader of my family heard that Emperor Dashun Yongchang was unfortunately murdered by Xiaoxiao disciples in Jiugong Mountain. He cried bitterly and fasted for three consecutive days to mourn. Not only himself, but Master Shi Lang ordered that the Southern Guangdong Army go south and west. All the ministries along the road, the whole army wears filial piety. All the camps set up coffin sheds to hold sacrifices, and pay homage with flowers, vegetables and fruits."

Tian Jianxiu and the others were a little skeptical of the guide's words, rode their horses across the suspension bridge, and saw four large characters made of flowers on the archway facing the outside of the city, "Heroic spirits are not far away".Walking through the archway, on the side facing the city gate, there are four big characters of "Long Qi".

In the spiritual shed built with the Xiushui City Gate, a huge spiritual tablet is enshrined at the position facing the city gate, with the words "Dashun Yongchang Emperor" and other words, and the bright yellow gold characters on the flame of the incense stick are enshrined. Jumping down, shining light.

Seeing Li Zicheng's spiritual tablet, Tian Jianxiu and the others got off their horses in a hurry, knelt down in front of the spiritual tablet and cried loudly.After Li Zicheng died in Jiugong Mountain, because of the tense situation, not only could he not be buried with the emperor's ceremony, but even a decent funeral was never held.This point, no matter what, makes them, who are courtiers and brothers, feel very sorry.

In the blink of an eye, the hundreds of people who followed Tian Jianxiu were crying loudly in the coffin shed.This is not the kind of hypocritical cry, it is really a cry of beating one's chest and feet.

Tian Jianxiu, Luo Hu, Wu Ruyi, and Li Laiheng sat on the futon kneeling mat in front of the altar, their eyes blurred from crying, and they just lit and offered the joss paper money handed to them by the steward of the mourning hall next to them.Then according to the etiquette of the son of heaven, amidst the loud chanting of the praise officer, he got up and knelt down.

After completing all these etiquettes, Tian Jianxiu discovered in astonishment that the young man who was supporting her was Shi Lang, the Xuan Fu envoy of Jiangnan West Road and the commander of the Southern Guangdong Army!

Shi Lang's set of methods can be said to be extremely powerful, and Tian Jianxiu was caught off guard.Using the form of the whole army mourning and wearing mourning for Li Zicheng, won the unanimous favor of the Dashun army, and then appeared in front of Tian Jianxiu and others when they were crying bitterly.When the grateful people appeared at the weakest moment, Shi Lang immediately took advantage of Tian Jianxiu in terms of psychology and momentum.

Knowing that the smiling young man in front of him was his negotiating opponent, Tian Jianxiu, whose eyes were red from crying, couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. How could his face be seen by his negotiating opponent?This will definitely be underestimated.

However, Shi Lang didn't care at all.Even though he bowed to Tian Jianxiu, Wu Ruyi, Luo Hu, and Li Laiheng, even the most ceremonious Taoist master couldn't fault him in terms of etiquette.

"My lord Long Live is unfortunately in the Jiugong Mountain. I can only hate those of us who are courtiers, but we can't mourn for him. It is really a shame to be a courtier."

After being seated, Shi Lang ordered people to serve tea, snacks, and fruit. After a busy meal, Tian Jianxiu had the opportunity to express his gratitude to Shi Lang.At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Dashun Army who came to Xiushui County already regarded Shi Lang as one of their own in their hearts.

"It's not just one day that our two families get along. What's more, Emperor Dashun Yongchang was murdered by a traitor, and our Southern Guangdong Army was also framed by a traitor. First, the eldest brother-in-law of my family's eldest son died unfortunately, and then Dong When our army quelled Zuo Liangyu's rebellion, the Lin traitors colluded with the Manchu Manchus and plotted against our army. That's how our southern Guangdong army was defeated! Now, your two families join forces in Hunan In the land of Jiangxi, it is time to share the same hatred with the enemy!"

Although Shi Lang's mouth is not as good as those famous lobbyists, such as Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Lu Jia, Li Shiqi and other well-known diplomatic liars, but it is also well-founded, and Tian Jianxiu, Luo Hu and others can't help but speak. nodding frequently.

"That's right! If the Manchu Tartars didn't have these traitors to support them, they would definitely not be our opponents!"

"Uncle Yufeng is right! In Shandong, in Shanhaiguan, and in Tongguan, we also fought against those braided soldiers many times. The serious Eight Banners Manchurian soldiers were our opponents. What's more, most of them are those who are attached to the traitors. bandit soldiers!"

Hearing these words, Shi Lang couldn't help raising his head to look carefully at the person speaking in front of him, seeing that his description was basically the same as what Li Huayu, Wang Long and him described back then.

"General Luo Hu is right! Back then, I led troops across the sea to conquer the east, and swept across the Liaodong Peninsula with thousands of troops! Beheaded tens of thousands! If it wasn't for the severe cold and heavy snowfall, we would have captured the old capital of the Tartars that day. Liaoyang!"

After several rounds of greetings, overt and private comparisons of their respective military achievements, and various friendships, the negotiations between the two sides kicked off.

On the side of the Dashun army, Tian Jianxiu sat in the middle, with Luo Hu on the left and Wu Ruyi on the right.Li Laiheng was sitting carelessly behind Tian Jianxiu, fiddling with a short fire blunderbuss that Shi Lang had just given him as a meeting gift in his hand. A firearm used by gunmen.Of course, what Shi Lang took out as a gift would naturally not be something common.In terms of the precision of the manufacturing, the degree of decoration far exceeds those of the firecrackers on the market.

On the Southern Guangdong Army's side, Shi Lang sat in the middle, Li Derun wore a long gown, and Shi Shiran sat casually with Shi Lang's drooping hands.

"Our army has come thousands of miles away. We are not afraid of General Shi's jokes, and we have suffered repeated defeats. Right now, the army is in urgent need of food, medicine, and gunpowder. If you have oil, salt, meat, cloth, etc., please also transfer some to us."

As the general manager of the Chinese army, Wu Ruyi has been in charge of the trade affairs with South China for many years, so he naturally wants to talk about trade when he comes up.

"This matter is very simple. There is nothing else here in a certain family. There is a lot of food and supplies. I am not afraid that you will be surprised by Mr. Wu. On that day, a disaster broke out and chaos broke out in Nanjing. My father led the boat division to the east overnight, and all the troops in the army. All the luggage, all lightly loaded, are all in my hands. A certain family was born as a poor boy, and he knew that a grain of rice and an inch of cloth were not easy to come by, so naturally he was reluctant to burn him. And he refused to keep it as a gift to the Tartars. Let them eat and drink enough to hunt down our army, so they took a lot of luggage and slowly went south. But fortunately, the Qing army in northern Jiangxi and Jiangxi, whether it is Wang Yuncheng in front of us, or Jin Shengheng behind him is a person who was beaten by us so much that he was afraid in his dreams. He only dared to harass us from a distance, but he didn't dare to attack us. I don't know how much your army wants?"

Shi Lang's long speech with a gun and a stick made Tian Jianxiu's face involuntarily hot, as if Shi Lang had slapped dozens of times in the face.On that day, Li Zicheng gave up Shaanxi and went south. Before leaving, he ordered him to burn all the large quantities of grain and grass stored in Xi'an.As a result, General Quan, who has the benevolence of a woman, did not carry out Li Zicheng's instructions on the grounds that the Qin people were hungry and left this rice to live the common people. It has been handled as ordered. Li Zicheng believed in the truth when he watched the smoke and flames soaring into the sky. The benevolence of Tian Jianxiu made the Qing army get a lot of supplies in Xi'an, and the soldiers and Ma Teng soon caught up. Shunjun did not get sufficient rest time during the transfer process, which has something to do with Tian Jianxiu's mistakes.

Your own food was cheap for the Qing soldiers, but now you are being chased by people thousands of miles away.Shi Lang's words were like cannonballs, making Tian Jianxiu dizzy.

"This, at least one month's grain and grass is needed. As for oil, salt, medicine and other things, the more the better, as long as you are willing to start helping, then you can bid." Wu Ruyi also felt Tian Jianxiu's embarrassing situation , hastily opened his mouth to change the subject.

"So, what about one month later? What is your army planning to do? Where are you planning to go? Or do you have a good fight with the Qing army?!" Li Derun, who was sitting under Shi Lang, didn't talk much, but he was sharp very.

yes!We have food supplies and medicines, but what should you do after you finish eating this month's food?Should he continue to be chased by the Qing army, or should he have a good fight with the Qing army after recuperating?

"General Shi!" Luo Hu, who was sitting on Tian Jianxiu's left hand, gritted his teeth and suddenly stood up.

"Our army has been chased by the Tartars and rebellious soldiers for thousands of miles. The soldiers and horses are extremely exhausted. It will take at least half a month to a month to rest. Let the brothers take a breath and the wounded can be healed. After half a month, you can be back." Gallop on the battlefield!"

"After half a month, our army will be able to recover initially. At that time, we will be able to see the true story of the general with the Tartars and the traitors!"

Li Laiheng, who was behind Tian Jianxiu, Luo Hu, and Wu Ruyi, also put down the firecracker in his hand, and echoed Luo Hu with his boyish voice that was undergoing a change of voice.

"Oh! How can you be under Shi's command? I'm so upset about Shi! It should be under the command of my father, Liang Guogong!" Shi Lang said a few polite words, but his heart felt as comfortable as eating a bowl of iced snowflake cheese in summer.

Luo Hu is the representative of young generals in the Dashun Army, Li Laiheng is the third generation of the Li family, and Wu Ruyi also agrees.Naturally, Tian Jianxiu couldn't say anything more.He stood up and gave Shi Lang a military salute of the Dashun Army, "General, since the alliance is now facing the enemy, I don't know how the general should deploy next?"

"It's very simple. Your ministry needs to rest for a while when you come here. The soldiers and horses under my command, because they escorted a large amount of supplies, food and grass, and these [-] to [-] captives escorted tens of thousands of refugees who retreated south with the army. I want to fight, but I don't have the strength to fight. It's like a man wearing several heavy armors. How can he move around? Your department can just rest in Xiushui, Tonggu, Pingjiang and other places, protect the flanks for me, and take care of the food, grass and supplies , guard the passage to southern Jiangxi, and prevent this passage from falling into the hands of the Qing army!"

Shi Lang looked relieved, confident and eager to try, but it aroused Luo Hu's curiosity and competitive spirit. "General Shi, I don't know which one you want to fight? I still have the power to fight, and I am willing to help the general!"

"Hey! That's not necessary! These days, I led my troops to the south. Along the way, Wang Yuncheng and Jin Shengheng flew around my father like flies. The noise was so loud that it was very annoying. ! You give us half a month, let's clean them up! Clean up this land in northern Jiangxi and central Jiangxi!"

Wang Yuncheng, Jin Shengheng, Wang Deren and others are all Zuo Liangyu's former ministries.The difference is that in the Battle of Jiujiang that day, Wang Yuncheng was defeated by the Southern Guangdong Army's Navy and the [-]th Guard Brigade, and led his troops to flee south to the ground in northern Jiangxi.Because Li Shouhan encountered the Nanjing Change, he couldn't take care of him for a while, but in the end, he caught the opportunity.In just over ten days, the Left Army recruited stragglers, broke up soldiers, took in bandit poles from all over the place, and organized regiment training in various places, and there were nearly [-] soldiers again.For a time, there was also a small earth emperor on the ground in northern Jiangxi.However, Li Gui was naturally guilty when he met Li Kui.Facing Shi Lang's mighty marching team that stretched for nearly a hundred miles, he only dared to spy from a distance, but didn't dare to go up and make any plans.

But Jin Shengheng, Wang Deren and others are another scene.They all followed Zuo Menggeng, secretly surrendered Duoduo, and killed Huang Chuangzi Huang Degong in Anqing, and captured Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong.This generation's accumulated meritorious service was sent by Duoduo to northern Jiangxi, where he served as the general soldier of Jiangxi, and was promoted to be the commander-in-chief of Jiangxi military affairs, and controlled Wang Deren, Wang Tizhong, Ke Yongsheng and other general soldiers.He is in charge of three general soldiers, which can be regarded as having many soldiers and generals.However, there were too many soldiers, but Duoduo didn't get so much military pay, so he had to figure out a way by himself in Jiujiang and other places.However, Jiujiang fought again and again, where did he go to raise so much military salary to support his 10,000+ troops?

Therefore, he also set his sights on Shi Lang who led his troops to move southward with a large amount of luggage and belongings.However, like Wang Yuncheng, he was also terrified of being beaten by the Southern Guangdong Army, and he knew that the man in front of him was not easy to mess with.Although this piece of meat is fat and delicious, it is hot to the mouth. Moreover, once he eats it, he may be choked to death first.

Shi Lang was also angry and hated these few troops who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.However, it is impossible to walk with a large amount of luggage, and it is impossible to fight.Now that the soldiers of the Shun Army have arrived, they can just spare their hands to deal with these people.

Two days later, Luo Hu led his troops to Xiushui City to take over the defense.Wu Ruyi led people to inspect the grain and grass supplies carried by Shi Lang's troops.Shi Lang led his men out of the city to the north.

Ten days later, Shi Lang returned with his troops.Three battles and three victories, successively annihilated the troops of Wang Yuncheng and Jin Shengheng.The captive team stretched for dozens of miles, and the captured mules, horses and equipment were piled up like a mountain.

In Xiushui City, Tian Jianxiu rode here alone.

"General Shi, according to the order of Empress Gao of my family, Tian was entrusted by all the brothers to come to Xiushui City to make a promise with you!"

Dashun Army's conditions are straightforward and simple.They are willing to join the Southern Guangdong Army system with the whole army.However, they also have their own conditions.

"First, our commander-in-chief's surname is Li, not Zhu."

"Second, don't discriminate against us, and give official salaries as usual."

"Third, the food and pay are the same as those of the Southern Guangdong Army."
