Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 99 Opponents
At this time, fighting side by side with Gao Jie is of course his wife Xing Shi.

Although this woman is charming and charming, she is as gentle as water, but she is like a dominatrix when she is powerful, with two swords flying up and down in her hands, and soldiers will meet death and death.

Gao Jie and Xing Shi worked so hard, and quickly gained momentum. His chief soldiers, generals, partial generals, guerrillas, junior generals, and guards were all desperate, and they were like snowballs rolling around Gao Jie and Xing Shi. More and more people gathered, and soon the situation was reversed, and the soldiers who besieged them would be killed and flee in all directions.

"Come on!" Gao Jie was ready to kill, and organized his troops to counterattack. The soldiers who ambushed him will turn from victory to defeat, and they will be defeated.

Just when Gao Jie and Xing led the troops to chase and annihilate their soldiers and horses and were about to rush out of the valley, a general rushed over with a team of troops, and the immediate general shouted loudly: "Gao Jie, it is my advantage to dismount and surrender!" Otherwise, I will let you be a ghost with the knife head!"

Gao Jie seemed to be in his prime, with a melon-seeded face that was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, two black eyebrows, two piercing eyes, revealing perseverance and righteousness, a straight nose and wide mouth, a black beard, and broad shoulders. With a thick back, a bronze helmet and a bronze armor, the machete in the palm of the oolong horse under the crotch is as majestic as a golden armored god.

"Bah! Who are you, dare to utter wild words in front of my lord?" Gao Jie thought this general looked familiar but didn't recognize him.

The general raised his chest: "I am the commander of the Jinyi Guards and the admiral of the Beijing Camp, Zheng Hongkui. It is true that you are an important minister of the imperial court. You do not repay the king's favor if you eat the king's salary. When you are in charge of the military, you don't want to guard the border and you are not diligent in training soldiers. Abiding by the law, causing chaos in Yangzhou, and committing crimes, if you don't get off your horse, how long will you wait?"

"Zheng Hongkui?" Gao Jie recognized it in a daze. Of course he was no stranger to this name. He had seen this person more than two months ago, but he hadn't been to Beijing for more than two months. Of course he didn't know much about the capital. He only knew that Zheng Hongkui was sent to defend the city in Zhenjiang, why now he became a Beijing official, the commander of Jinyiwei and the admiral of the Beijing camp. So fast, it turns out that the emperor is relying on this person!

Gao Jie is Uncle Xingping, and he can be regarded as a high-ranking local military officer. Of course, he also knows that Zheng Hongkui's original name is Zheng Zhifeng, and he is Zheng Zhilong's fourth brother. Gao Jie also knows who Zheng Zhilong is. boss.

When it comes to the Ming Dynasty, the Zheng Family Army along the coast of Fuzhou, Fujian, everyone knows that they are even well-known at home and abroad. In fact, the Zheng Family Army was originally a group of pirates. It was a large merchant group headed by Zheng Zhilong. It was entrenched in Taiwan, based in Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Fujian Sea. Dealing with businessmen in Manila, Portugal, etc., to expand and strengthen overseas business, its fleet has traveled far to the East and Southeast Asia, and has its own army, as many as 3 people, and more than a thousand warships.

In particular, Zheng Zhilong's navy terrified Japanese pirates and Western powerhouses such as Spain and the Netherlands. In 1633, in the Kinmen naval battle off the coast of Fujian, Zheng Zhilong's navy defeated the fleet of the Dutch East India Company in one fell swoop.Control the sea routes, collect shipping fees, and become the sea overlord of a wealthy country.Without the command flag of the Zheng family, no matter whether it is a merchant ship or an official ship, they will be doomed.

Emperor Chongzhen once sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress them, but all ended in failure. In the end, Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but to appease them.Zheng Zhilong agreed to the court's terms of appeasement, and was later canonized by Emperor Hongguang as the general town of Nan'anbo Fujian and a great official in Xinjiang.

Don't look at Zheng Zhilong's acceptance of the imperial court's recruitment, but he listened to the instructions and did not listen to the announcement. He can be transferred, but it is impossible for him to be promoted to an overhead official position in the capital to deal with him.

The Zheng family is very popular. Not only is Zheng Zhilong a great official in the frontier, but his fourth brother Zheng Hongkui is even more remarkable. He was a Wu Jinshi in the 13th year of Chongzhen. There is Zheng Cai, who is Zheng Hongkui's brother who didn't make five uniforms. He is now the imperial envoy of the capital of Caojiang Navy, and he also holds great power. In a word, the old Zheng's family is now powerful.

Gao Jie thinks that Zhu Yousong's wrist is suddenly so tough, and there is a reason for relying on Lao Zheng's family.

Gao Jie also understands now that since Zheng Hongkui is in control of Jinyiwei and the admiral of the Beijing Camp, he must have been ordered by the Hunjun to lurk here and wait for him this time. Yes, but so what?
Gao Jie, who thought he had successfully counterattacked, became arrogant again, and turned his mouth like a spoon, because he looked down on this Zheng Hongkui from the bottom of his heart. More than two months ago, he was at best the general soldier of Zhenjiang. The ranks are very different. As for the fact that he is now in power and has climbed to a high position, he is only relying on the power of their family, unlike Gao Jie, who was born out of real skills and sacrificed on the battlefield.

So he laughed loudly when he heard Zheng Hongkui's words, "Hahaha... What an official word! I haven't seen Zheng Zongbing promoted to Admiral Zheng in two months, and he is in charge of Jinyiwei and admiral of Jingying. Brother Zheng is really gratifying Congratulations, but please, brother Zheng, please recite the emperor's name. There must be a misunderstanding. I am loyal to the imperial court and Daming. I have made great military exploits. The emperor can't listen to slanderous rumors and add insult to injury. Even the achievements of support in the past have been obliterated, and it doesn't matter to me, I have always regarded fame and wealth as dung, but how can the soldiers of the three armies not be disappointed?"

Zheng Hongkui knew that he was being unreasonable, and he spoke with contempt for himself and disrespect to the emperor, so he couldn't help being furious, "It's true that you are a thief, and you really want the governor to do it yourself?"

Gao Jie said coldly: "Brother Zheng insists on staying in virtue, don't be a thief, brother, have you forgotten your origin?"

Gao Jie's words were clearly ridiculing Zheng Hongkui for laughing at a hundred steps with fifty steps, which means that I am a thief, you are a pirate, and they are all the same thing, so I almost scolded him explicitly, but the more subtle it looks, the more annoying , Zheng Hongkui couldn't hold back anymore, "Everyone, look at the knife!" The words came right to the knife, and it was a knife to slash Huashan.

Gao Jie really didn't put him in his eyes. Seeing him galloping his horse to kill aggressively, he didn't dodge or dodge. He felt that Zheng Hongkui's knife had come down from the top of his head. The two weapons collided in the air.

When there was a clatter, sparks flew in all directions, and Zheng Hongkui's machete was lifted by more than three feet. Zheng Hongkui felt his palms warm and his mouth felt numb. Gao Jie also felt that his arms were weak, and the two horses backed up a few steps.

Once combined, both members will know that they have met an opponent, at least equal in strength, then the next step is to rely on tricks to win.

Zheng Hongkui raised his horse and rushed over again, swung his sword away like a cloud, and slashed towards Gao Jie. The chiefs and generals are all desperate, of course the generals behind them can't just stand by and rush forward to fight together...

　The second update was delivered, and today I made another update for everyone, asking for all kinds of support, thank you for your recommendation tickets.
