Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 301 Raising the Flag
In the early morning, when the genius was slightly pale, the guards of the Governor's Mansion came to the residences where the generals of the Green Battalion lived.

As the generals of the Qing army with [-] soldiers in command, the three Wang brothers were naturally also invited, but when they got the news, their faces were full of entanglements, and they were obviously unwilling to participate in any discussions.

The three brothers had worries in their hearts, which stemmed from a brawl yesterday evening.

Originally fighting was not a big deal, it is normal to fight frequently in the army, but this time the fighting killed three Mongolian Eight Banners, and the matter became serious.

The Ming army besieged Wuchang. In order to make the soldiers work hard, Tong Yanghe paid one month more military pay. The soldiers were going to fight soon, so naturally they would not keep money in their hands. One of Wang Guangtai's chief executives invited a group of officers to come They ate and drank in the restaurant, but they didn't know that they were halfway through eating, but more than a dozen Eight Banners soldiers came in.

Because Wang Yan killed five thousand and eight banners outside the city, the eight banners in the city were very unhappy, and no one was pleasing to the eye. When they saw more than a dozen green battalion officers in the lobby, the atmosphere was enthusiastic, and they immediately became annoyed. A Niu Lu of his family wanted to drive a group of green camps out of the restaurant, but a conflict arose and three of them were killed instead.

In this kind of thing, even if the green battalion was beaten and suffered a loss, it would have to accompany the Eight Banners masters, not to mention killing three of the Eight Banners masters.

When Tong Yanghe was discussing with Tulai at the governor's mansion, the three Wang brothers were also in the residence and discussed for a whole night. Now that Tong Yanghe sent someone to invite them, they naturally felt guilty.

The three brothers Wang Guangen lived in a big house in the south of the city. It is said that it used to be the residence of a Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty.

This courtyard happened to be relatively close to the south city wall that the three brothers were in charge of guarding, making it easier for them to control the army, so Tong Yanghe gave the courtyard to the three of them.

At this time, the guards of the governor's mansion did not leave after the notification, but waited outside the courtyard, obviously they had been ordered to lead them there.

Seeing this, the three brothers felt even more uneasy, and they all sat around together with serious faces.

At this time, Wang Guangtai's eyes flashed fiercely and he said: "Brother, I don't think Tong Yanghe has any good intentions. It must be Tulai who told Tong Yanghe about the killing of the Eight Banners soldiers by our troops. He wants to recruit us. Then you will be punished~"

Wang Chang also echoed: "Brother, the Qing court employs people, firstly the Manchurians, then the Liaodong Han people, and finally those of us who joined the customs after entering the customs. Tong Yanghe didn't trust us at first, but this time he might want to borrow If they want to deal with us by chance, and then seize the soldiers and horses in our hands, my younger brother does not agree to go."

Hearing what the two said, Wang Guangen frowned, "If we don't go, we're telling Tong Yang that we have a quarrel, and he will have even more excuses to deal with us."

"Huh~" Wang Guangtai couldn't help but get slightly annoyed when he heard the words: "This time, it was the Eight Banners who were looking for faults. They first provoked our brothers and ended up being beaten to death." If Tong Yanghe dared to punish us, we could sell Wuchang City in exchange for rich. "

"That's right, the second brother is right." Wang Chang stood up and agreed, "We used to be free and easy, but now that we have shaved our pigtails, we are still looked down upon by the Eight Banners. He'll be able to match even a cow record." I'm calling the shots, I've had enough."

Listening to the words of the two brothers, Wang Guangen's face showed a pensive look. He was also very dissatisfied with the current situation in his heart, so he didn't complain to the two brothers, but as the head of the three brothers, he couldn't do things like They are so impulsive.

"Brother knows what you think, but now you don't know what Tong Yanghe is going to do, and there are five hundred and eight banners watching at the gate of the city, even if you want to dedicate the city, you have to make a plan, you can't act recklessly. "Wang Guangen comforted the two of them, and then continued: "Since Tong Yanghe is recruiting, the eldest brother will go and see, you two don't have to go, and immediately control our soldiers and horses in the city. Now the people in the city are in turmoil , Tong Yanghe saw that you didn't go, so he didn't dare to take him as a brother! Do you understand?"

Wang Guangtai and Wang Chang heard the words and felt that what Wang Guangen said was indeed reasonable. Dedicating the city was not a simple matter. The three city gates were guarded by the Eight Banners. If they wanted to succeed, at least they had to contact Wang Yan outside the city.

"Brother is right, then my third brother and I will go to Nancheng." Wang Guangtai got up immediately, and then quietly left through the back door with Wang Chang.

After the two walked away for a while, Wang Guangen came out of the room and followed the guards of the Governor's Mansion to the Governor's Mansion.

In Wuchang Mansion, in the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, more than 20 generals with more than a thousand generals stood.

Tong Yanghe sat in the lobby and saw Wang Guangen coming alone, but he didn't ask anything, because now Wuchang is like a powder keg, which will explode at the slightest touch.

Before defending Wuchang, all the officers of the green battalion present here were Tong Yanghe's uncle. Now he can only lower his stance, stabilize the morale of the army, and wait for the Ming army to retreat before coming to settle accounts with them.

At this time, Tong Yanghe saw that the chief generals of the three green camps had already arrived at the hall, so he didn't bother those who didn't come, so he got up and said: "The governor got the news that Prince Ying on the North Road is about to break through Xiangyang. In ten days, we will be able to reach Wuchang, so you don’t have to worry about the Ming army in the city, as soon as the soldiers from the North Route arrive, Wang Yan will definitely return to Hunan, and you will all get a great contribution.”

Wang Guangen and other green battalion generals couldn't help a commotion when they heard the news, but they soon quieted down. They all knew that Wuchang was surrounded by water and separated by the Yangtze River. The reinforcements would arrive within ten days. The morale of the army is a fabricated lie.

The information Tong Yanghe said was indeed fabricated by him. The generals of the green battalion are all human beings, so naturally they would not completely believe his words.

"You also know that in the land of Huguang, there have been many battles. The Han army is in the white and yellow banners, and they are basically lost. Even the eight banners of Manchuria and Mongolia have suffered heavy casualties." Tong Yanghe saw that the reaction from the green battalion was not enthusiastic, so he That is to say, he had to take out a memorial and said: "After the great battle in Huzhou, the imperial court will definitely make great efforts to restore the establishment of the Eight Banners. The governor has already written the memorial. As long as you help the governor to guard Wuchang, the governor will protect the regent. King, raise the flag for you and weave you into the Han army flag."

"What? Raise the flag!"

The power of this sentence is much more shocking than Tong Yanghe's fabricated reinforcements just now, and the green camp in the hall suddenly exclaimed.

The Eight Banners system is a very special system invented by the old slave. The concept of the Eight Banners is actually above the nation. It is a freak, but this system is indeed very powerful, and it can make the banner soldiers form a strong centripetal force.

Raising the flag is to give ordinary people a chance to rise. In Chinese history, the imperial examination system is also a ladder that enables the lower class to flow to the upper class. Some people can rise to the privileged class through military exploits.

The Qing court's tactics are very clever, and they often give some green battalion generals the advantage of raising the flag, and then let these generals compete with each other, then the green battalion's combat power will immediately increase.

Jin Shengheng on the left, and Li Chengdong from Gao Jie's department are both Green Battalion soldiers, but they are very used to fighting, and they have shown abilities that are as far back as the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the generals of the green battalion in the hall couldn't help but feel moved after hearing Tong Yanghe's words. If they can really become a member of the Eight Banners, then from now on, they will be superior to others, and their children and grandchildren can become a privileged class. If you don't weave, you can sit back and enjoy the success.

With the benefit of raising the flag, all the green battalions can't help but start to re-examine the current situation. Azig is indeed attacking Xiangyang. Although he may not come within ten days, Wang Yan's main force is in Wuchang. Wang Yan, sooner or later Xiangyang will be defeated by Azig, this battle is not impossible!
All the generals of the green battalion couldn't help but look at me and make eye contact with each other.

Seeing this, Tong Yanghe's face finally showed a gleam of joy. He knew that the generals of the green battalion had already been tempted, but at this moment, a loud "bang" sound suddenly sounded, and the Ming army had already begun to bombard the city.
