Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 650 Yangzhou Bitter Fruit
It is said that a dog that is fed too much will not bite, and Gao Jie is like this.

He has a town of 5 people, and his salary is as high as 300 million taels. In terms of quantity, he has even surpassed the beggar army. However, the silver issued by the court is only less than 10 taels. All of them were squandered by Gao Jie and other high-level generals. In the Xuzhou area, Gao Jie and his Shan Town needed to be stationed, and construction was carried out, and the land was like a palace.

Even in the literati's biography, there is even an anecdote recorded. Shi Kefa inspected the sufferings of the people in disguise, but was arrested by Gao Jie's soldiers as civilian husbands. It was not easy to meet Gao Jie to inspect the construction site and recognized Shi Kefa. Shi Kefa said sadly: "The students have worked hard. More than ten days!"

It is estimated that the matter is [-]% fake. The person who loves the micro-service private visit is Emperor Zhengde. For example, Shi Kefa is the governor of Yangzhou and is a scholar of Dongge University. Even if he is in Yangzhou City, he has to be heavily guarded. No one will let me.

But this also reflects Gao Jie's extravagance from one aspect.

Suizhou City.

Fucheng yamen is brightly lit, singing and dancing are incessant, and to the sound of music, dancing girls in colorful dresses sway like willows in the wind. The people outside are starving to death, but here is chicken, duck and fish constantly coming and going. Mi Duochang's freshly cooked soft-shelled turtle was emitting a strong aroma, and the soft-shelled turtle's head was facing Gao Jie's flushed old face.

"Come on, come on, this dish is called the number one! So is our commander-in-chief, so we will send troops to the Central Plains to help the country! We are the number one in Ming Dynasty! The last general proposes a toast to you! Please also promote the young general!"

It's ironic enough, this Xu Dingguo was born in Genzheng Miao Hongwuju, who was demoted because he was not good at fighting bandits, but Gao Jie, who was born as a bandit, has now become the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty, and was recently named a Marquis.Leaving the comfort zone that he worked so hard for, and marching hard for more than ten days, Gao Jie was at the time when a bird faded out of his mouth, and he was even more delighted to receive such flattery.

"Speak well, do it!"

Without further ado, he raised the wine glass in his hand, Gao Jie drank it down in one gulp, and immediately hiccupped, the smell made Xu Dingguo shrank back in disgust, and immediately gave him a wink, before Gao Jie woke up from his bewilderment Coming over, the beautiful woman next to him suppressed her nausea again and wrapped her pink and jade arms around his neck.

"Master Gao is a great hero. This little girl admires heroes like Mr. Gao the most. Come on, little girl toasts you!"

"My lord, do you want to drink?"

"Okay, drink!"

His speech was a little unclear, Gao Jie's obscene laughter echoed in the coquettish voices, and the local old wine gradually came to an end.

This is Gao Jie's third day in Henan. During the daytime, Xu Dingguo gathered his troops and handed them over to Gao Jie for inspection, and then handed over the roster. It drove late into the night.

The sound of music and dancing finally stopped, and the dancing girls and local celebrities quietly retreated without knowing when. The whole mansion was as silent as ghost shadows, except for the occasional mouse that sneaked in from outside to eat the leftovers and spill the cups. Disk, the rest is the dull grunting sound.

"Great handsome, Lord Hou!"

Clenching his fists, he called out a few times tentatively, and Xuanji bravely pushed twice. Gao Jie, who was as drunk as mud, was like a dead pig. Xu Dingguo's face suddenly changed, and he kicked Gao Jie fiercely, knocking Gao Jie to the ground, and then gasped violently again.

"Damn it, the old man is besieged by an army of thieves. If you don't come when you are beaten to death, the old man is guarding the lonely city. The wind and rain are turbulent, and the sun and the sun will see you. If you don't come, the old man waited in despair before sending the eldest son and the second son away. Send it to the other side of the river, to General Hauge, you are fucking here! It’s about this time, you still have a fucking use for it!”

"Go to the fucking Ming Dynasty, the world will die in the hands of you bastards!"

The long knife in his waist was pulled out like a horse, cursed, and then chopped down like lightning, with a click, but even Gao Jie was considered a hero in his life, and he became a fool without opening his eyes, and blood sprayed Xu Dingguo all over his face. , aroused his ferocious killing intent even more, bent down and picked up the head, and immediately he went out the door with a humming like a monster. At the door, Shanxi's personal soldiers were waiting with open fire.

Seeing Xu Dingguo's gloomy nod, a group of soldiers dragged their knives and kicked open the door of a nearby room murderously. Gao Jie's soldiers also drank at this time, throwing things down and roaring and cursing. In the middle, blood spattered on the window paper in a puff.

The next day, Gao Jie, who learned that the commander had been killed, attacked the city angrily, and Xu Dingguo was defeated. But soon after, Hauge's army joined Xu Dingguo's army to cross the river and lost the commander. Lianghuai.

Nanming's only active military operation failed in this way.

At this juncture, Jianghuai still hadn't prepared for war. Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, a tiger and a wolf, all wanted to annex Gaojie's troops and territory. People even made up rhetoric for this.

Whoever calls the kite over the mountain, the flower horse is not in harmony.Sword soldiers are raised on the ground, and the wife comes to suppress the stronghold.I killed the old matchmaker, and walked across the river and the river, and my emperor didn't even pay attention when he was drunk and shochu!
The kite over the mountain is Gao Jie, the flowery horse Liu is Liu Liangzuo, and the unlucky old matchmaker who ran across the river and the Huaihe River is Shi Kefa. Don't fight, Shi Kefa is really in a bad mood, but unfortunately, at this time, Hong Guangchao is completely immersed in drunkenness, and no one can give him strong support.

And Shi Kefa is really a noob in politics!

Yangzhou, Governor's Mansion.

A charming thirty-year-old lady led a tearful little doll less than seven years old standing in the main hall, while Shi Kefa was pacing back and forth awkwardly stroking his beard. The ministerial-level cadres are going to be regularized, but things are really close to this. The mother and son are here to recognize their father!
"That Huama Liu bullied our orphans and widowed mothers, and said that if the concubine does not dedicate Xuzhou to him, he will attack Xuzhou City with troops and destroy our Gao family! Master Supervisor, can you help me now?" The Gao family is in charge, only you!"

Saying that, Mrs. Gao Xing Xin'er kowtowed to the ground, seeing that Shi Kefa hastily stretched out her hand to be subdued: "Madam please get up, don't worry, the governor has written to the imperial court to reprimand Liu Liangzuo! In a short time, the canonization of the young prince The edict will arrive soon!"

If scolding is useful, what do you need weapons for?The weakness of the imperial court has long been ignored by the local generals, scolding?The sound of farting was stronger than it, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, Xing Xin'er slapped the child on the back hard.

"Kill the tiger! Kneel down!"

"Master Supervisor, in the present plan, only the Supervisor can make the decision for the concubine. If the Supervisor does not give up, let Shahu worship you as his father! My Gao Family Army also regards the Supervisor as the commander! I hope the Supervisor will help me!"

In the army, the relationship between foster father and foster son sometimes even surpassed that of biological father and son. It was his foster sons who supported Zhang Xianzhong in the Great Western Dynasty. It's a win-win situation. On the one hand, with Shi Kefa's name, he can subdue all the generals in Gao's army and unite with the outside world. On the other hand, Shi Kefa can really control the three towns and one army in Jiangbei. Disgusted face.

Gao Jie was born a thief!It's a thief, and this high-killing tiger is a thief!What kind of gentleman is Shi Kefa?How can you accept a thief?

"Mrs. Gao, don't mention it anymore! Let it go! The governor will do his best for you, please go back!"

"Master!"

"see a visitor out!"

Seeing Shi Kefa leave in a huff, the disappointment was evident on the face of the tough woman who followed Gao Jie to escape from Li Zicheng, but immediately, that disappointment turned into extremely strong resentment.

Women become ruthless and unfeeling, and they are three points more decisive than men, and women of this generation don't need to think about family, country and world like men do. On the other hand, Shi Kefa is still busy mediating the three towns, so he never The drunken Emperor Hongguang got the canonized imperial edict in his hand, and a shocking news came from the other end.

Gao Jiajun, Shanzhen, surrendered!

Prince Yu Duoduo's army immediately crossed the Huaihe River and incorporated Gao Jie's old troops. Liu Liangzuo, who was aggressively trying to grab Gao Jie's territory just now, quickly disintegrated as if Liu Zeqing's army had encountered the lingering snow of the scorching sun. Surprisingly vulnerable to foreign enemies!
The natural danger of the Huaihe River has been broken!
In mid-April, bad news happened day after day. Xuzhou, Huai'an, Xiaoxian, Lingbi, and other cities fell one after another. Liu Liangzuo, who was guarding Huai'an, did not dare to fight at all. Absolutely, the Qing army didn't go to beat him, he actually threw away the carved beams and painted walls of Shouzhou's lair, and fled south with the army. Shi Kefa almost watched Doduo close his territory like a parade.

On April 21th, Liu Liangzuo surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and the Chu soldiers under his command also surrendered to the Qing army. On April 30st, the main force of the Southern Ming was gathered, and as many as [-] Qing troops surrounded the last important town of the Ming Dynasty in Jiangbei, the Grand Canal. The starting point is Yangzhou, the hometown of salt merchants.

Yangzhou is in a hurry!
Standing on the city wall, looking at the banners flying below the city, the invisible army, and the red cannons pushing forward behind him, Shi Kefa felt his mouth full of bitterness for a while.

He didn't understand it at the time, but now, he finally understands what Song Qingshu said before he left, what is meant by Zhu Gong and Yangzhou's eternity!

But it is obvious that the crowd is full of power now!Why is it still reduced to this point?Could it be that these Donglin gentlemen, Zhu Xi and Zhu Zi taught human desires, and rationalists who preserved the principles of nature, can't compare with him, a vulgar martial artist?
Full of strong reluctance, Shi Kefa suddenly pulled out the knife and cut his hand, dipped in blood and hurriedly wrote a blood book, and immediately handed it over to He Gangwei, the chief soldier.

"Cross the river quickly and ask Yingtian for help!"
