Remember [] in one second, free reading of wonderful novels without pop-ups!
Early in the morning, near the north city wall of the river, a small flag huddled under the crenel with a firecracker. He just took a nap, got up and stretched, and suddenly froze. Looking around, the wilderness of the city gate was filled with morning mist. It seems that there is a huge crisis hidden in the middle, it is the army, countless army lined up in the mist, and the Qing army returned.
The small flag was raised and the fire blast burst into the sky. All the defenders on the north gate were awakened. While entering the battle position in a mess, Pegasus reported to General Fang Chenglong who was in charge of the defense of the north gate. It didn’t take much time, Fang Chenglong led a team. The men and horses arrived and hurried up to the enemy's building. They picked up the telescope and looked at it. At this time, the morning fog had just cleared, and all that was seen in the telescope was Ming army armor, and a big "high" on the Yamen flag.
These troops are the troops of Gao Jie, the general soldier garrisoned in Xu and Si states. It must be the reinforcements sent by the court that came late. Speaking of Gao Jie, he was originally a robber. Later he returned to the court and was promoted to the general army, supporting Zhu Yousong. For his credit, his character is slightly better than Liu Liangzuo, at least he won’t be clear, but the bandit temper in his bones cannot be changed. The subordinates are better or worse than the bandits. Last year, the court sent Gao Jie to garrison in Yangzhou, but Yangzhou gentry refused to enter the city. Gao Jie led his army to attack Yangzhou. He didn't fight for three days, and he retreated under Shi Kefa's mediation. Gao Jun's notoriety is evident. If they were allowed to enter the river, wouldn't it be worse than Duduo.
Yiqi rushed to the city, holding Gao Jie's command, and ordered the defenders above the city to lower the suspension bridge, open the city gate, and welcome Master Ping Bo to enter the city.
Fang Chenglong lay on the crenel and replied loudly: "Please set up a camp outside the city. The city is small and can't accommodate many people. After a while, I will serve the army of cattle and sheep and wine."
The cavalry was furious: "Hey! We are rushing to the starry night to help, and you won't let us go into the city. Try living in the wild in this winter!"
"Without a general order, I dare not open the door without authorization." Fang Chenglong just didn't spit. Gao Jun's entry into the city was a catastrophe. This was proved by Liu Liangzuo's army stationing in Omi a month ago. No one will repeat the same mistakes and make the people suffer.
A quarter of an hour later, Gao Jie came to the city in person, wearing a mane-wrapped hat and a python robe, surrounded by a group of proud soldiers and heroes, yelling at the city head, Fang Chenglong turned a deaf ear, as long as Gao Jun attacked the city and rolled wood and stone. Waiting for them.
When Gao Jie waved his hand, the city was quiet immediately. He raised his head and asked, "Who are you?"
Fang Chenglong notified his name, and Gao Jie said, "But you killed Liu Liangzuo's servant?"
Fang Chenglong said: "Liu Liangzuo rebelled against the Ming and surrendered to the Qing, and he will die."
Gao Jie nodded: "The next generation is terrible." He pulled the horse and left.
Fang Chenglong thought that Gao Jie was going to attack the city, and ordered the soldiers to light the tinder on the flames, ready to fight back at any time, but after waiting for a long time, Gao Jun actually set up camp.
Fang Chengbin heard that Gao Jie’s army had arrived at the city’s general army’s yamen. Fang Chengbin was also in a dilemma. Letting Gao Jie enter the city was a poisonous situation. Don’t let it go. Whatever the Qing army would do, suddenly the Shuidongmen defender came to report and said The official ship from the east was discovered.
Fang Chengbin was overjoyed and led people to the east gate. Standing on the enemy's floor, looking into the distance, there were three official ships on the Huaijiang River upstream with flags and the emperor's talisman.
"It's an imperial envoy. The imperial envoy from Nanjing has arrived." Fang Chengbin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to put Gao Jie into the city, but he didn't want to tear his skin. There was a middleman missing in both cases.
The imperial envoy on the official ship was the celebrity chief Lu Jiude next to Emperor Hongguang. Lu Jiude was originally an in Beijing. He had many experiences in supervising the army, and he can be regarded as a person who has seen battles in the court. 　Paiping District Omi Righteousness is easy.
The imperial boat arrived at Dongshuiguan, the gate was wide open, and the boat was released into the city. Fang Chengbin greeted the imperial mission at the dock, prayed three times and nine bows, the etiquette was solemn, Lu Jiude was wearing a gauze hat and warm ears, wearing a red python robe, extraordinary style, followed The two little eunuchs were accompanied by a hundred brocade guards. They all wore eight-petal helmets, blue silk flags on the tops of the helmets, round-necked cloth face masks, and embroidered spring knives. They were majestic and arrogant.
Lu Jiude did not have the arrogance of imperial commission. Instead, Chengbin, the other party, was very polite and soothed. The two sides got into the sedan chair and came to the General Military Office to speak. After some greetings, Fang Chengbin asked Lu Jiude to mediate Gaojie.
"Master Fang, Commander Gao ran all the way to help Omi. You don’t let him go into the city. With his violent temper, you can tell the court that some moths will be caused to the court, which will block Long live, but the men under his hands are too naughty. If you really entered Omi, the people would have suffered. Otherwise, if you look at the face of our family, if you let the generals go into the city, you will bring your personal soldiers, okay?" Lu Jiude speaks Beijing Mandarin, which sounds very pleasant. , People are smiling, very dear.
Fang Chengbin thought over and over again, and finally agreed, but it was not easy to control the number of soldiers. To put it bluntly, he finally decided to allow Gao Jie to bring a thousand men into the city.
"That's right." Lu Jiude squinted his eyes, and a harmless smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
...
General Gao also gave Lu Jiude face, holding his nose and accepting this harsh condition. He brought only a thousand soldiers into the city. When entering the north gate, the volunteers were very nervous. The army snatched the door, but Gao Jie didn't take the risk like that. A thousand soldiers didn't even wear the armor, and entered the city gate with a joke and made Fang Chenglong sweat.
Fang Chengbin gave the Chief Soldier’s Yamen to Lu Jiude to stay. There was no other suitable place in the city for Chief Gao to stop. He couldn’t give up Fang Mansion, so he sent his third brother to invite four strangers to make a place. , Liu Yanzhi and the others also cooperated and moved to live in the inn in the city, and gave the post to Gao Jie and his soldiers.
When Dang Aiguo learned that Gao Jie's army had arrived, he was a little surprised: "This guy is here, that's a bit troublesome."
Fang Chenglong said: "Gao Jie is domineering and domineering, especially Liu Liangzuo. If he is permanently stationed in Omi, Big Brother's trouble will be a bit big."
Party Patriotic Road: "There is no good thing for Gao Jie to enter the city, the third son must be careful."
Fang Chenglong bowed to the end: "Keep it in mind."
After San Gongzi left, Dang Paiguo said to his companions: "I have an ominous premonition that history has changed because of our arrival. According to the original historical trajectory, Wu Sangui should have a deal with Li Zi at this time instead of following Duoduonan. Zheng, and Gao Jie, he should have died in the hands of Henan General Soldier Xu Dingguo, not Fang Chengbin."
Ji Yu said dryly: "How do you conclude that Gao Jie will die in Omi."
The Party’s Patriotic Road: "A mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, it's an obvious thing."
Liu Yan said straightforwardly: "I know what to do."
...
The imperial servant and General Gao Bingzhou were tired, and they rested first. Fang Chengbin hosted a dinner for them. The imperial decree will also be read out after the dinner. The general content of Lu Jiude has been slightly revealed. Fang Chengbin has at least the title of Minister of War. There are rewards, and the lowest is also the generals.
Fang Chengbin's heart was determined that the Minister of War was the third-ranked high-ranking officer, and he could completely suppress Gao Jie. A grateful mood filled his heart, saying that Emperor Hongguang was mediocre, but it seemed that the emperor was still very fair in doing things.
The imperial envoy arrived, and everyone in Jinjiang City rejoiced. Fang Chengbin arranged ten carts of wine and meat to be sent to Gao Jie’s army to comfort him. The tense atmosphere of the two sides weakened a lot. The tense hearts of the volunteers finally relaxed. Master Fang did not favor the other. I also took out the silver wine and meat to treat everyone. There were stewed meat everywhere in the city, and the fragrance was overflowing.
In the evening, the General Armed Forces Office put up lights and festoons. The defense here was taken over by Jin Yiwei. Nanjing Jinyiwei was re-established by Zhu Yousong and was served by elite soldiers in the army. The small banners put on big red flying fish uniforms and embroidered spring knives. Standing beside Lu Jiude, guards armed with long weapons stood at the two gates. Gao Jie and Fang Chengbin brought only twenty or thirty personal soldiers with them. None of them wore armor, but only a uniform with short soldiers. .
As for Yiyong Omi, most of the few generals attended, except for Fang Chenglong. Fang Chengbin was selfish. He deliberately concealed the credit of his third brother in the battle report. He was afraid that the third child would lose his attitude in front of the imperial envoy and deliberately prevent him from attending the dinner. For a reason, let him lead troops to patrol the city just in case.
"Third brother, you can keep an eye on Gao Jie's 1,000 soldiers." Fang Chengbin explained.
Fang Chenglong was unhappy, but still focused on the overall situation, nodded and got on his horse.
When Fang Chengbin returned to the government office, he met Gao Jie in the hall. The two adults were both dressed in black gauze and round necks. They were embroidered with tonics on their chests. They held hands with each other smilingly and sat in two compartments.
The servants put up the incense case, and Lu Jiude asked for the imperial decree, and said solemnly: "Fang Chengbin accepts the decree."
Omi Yiyong from Fang Chengbin and below, hula la, all knelt down in the court, one by one, waiting for the appointment of officials, the world was in chaos, it was a good time to make contributions, the generals of Omi repelled the Qing army's aggressive attack, and the emperor could not Reward them severely.
Fang Chengbin’s heart is surging, and his heart is fierce. His goal is the first minister, the minister of Ming Zhongxing~EbookFREE.me~The first step has been taken, and then it is not difficult to defend half of the Ming Dynasty. It is not difficult to defend half of the Ming Dynasty. He couldn't do it. As long as Liu Yanzhi was willing to contribute, he thought a lot for a moment. He woke up after being touched lightly by his son. He suddenly said: "Weichen, Fang Chengbin, take Omi Yoshihide to take the order."
Kneeling behind Fang Chengbin is his eldest son, Fang Zihao. He is wearing a blue tufted shirt with a plain face. His face is full of heroism. This award is indispensable for him as a general. He became a general at a young age, and Feihuang Tengda will not be there in the future. Next.
Lu Jiude unrolled the bright yellow scroll, coughing dryly, saying: "There is a decree in the sacred, Fang Chengbin kills the important general of the court without permission. If the crime is not tolerated, he can be escorted to Dali Temple in Nanjing for disposal.
After finishing the scroll of the imperial edict, he suddenly changed his color and said: "Don't do it yet!"
The guards on both sides drew knives. Fang Chengbin couldn’t react for a while, but Fang Zihao reacted very quickly. He jumped up and drew his sword to resist. Gao Jie overturned the table and tore the official robes to reveal the softness that he wore inside. A, drew his sword and said: "Kill, kill all, leave no one!"
There was a sound of drawing swords and scabbards inside the government office. The Fang family soldiers did not want to be caught with their hands. They wanted to do a dying fight. Suddenly they heard a loud voice from the roof: "Foreign captives are now, brothers are smashing the wall, you are really promising."
