"Are you Jin Yukui?!"

Yang Zhenkai laughed heartily and asked loudly to Jin Yukui who was trapped in Wengcheng.

But Jin Yukui didn't hear what Li Shouzhong whispered to Yang Zhen just now, and thought that Yang Zhen remembered him clearly. He was suddenly excited and replied loudly:

"This slave is none other than Jin Yukui, who met the Governor once before. Thank you very much, Governor Jin Haibo and Governor Yang, for remembering my slave's name!"

"Yes, I remember you, but remembering you is one thing. How to deal with you and whether to let you go is another matter!"

Faced with Jin Yukui's inexplicable approach, Yang Zhen didn't want him to feel that he could bargain or take advantage of him, so he turned cold and said coldly:

"I still remember Duduo, Turge, and Ilden, and your Tianzhu soldier colleague Xu Erxian, but I killed them all. Xu Erxian chopped off his head on the spot, but Duduo, Turge, and Ilden,

But it was sent to the capital to be cut into pieces. Jin Yukui, you choose one!"

"Ah!? This——"

When the leader of the Han Army with the Blue Banner under the Weng City, Zhang Jing Jin Yukui, heard Yang Zhen's words, he immediately panicked. In desperation, he immediately raised his face and explained to Yang Zhen on the city wall:

"Dudu Yang, Mr. Yang, and Jin Haibo, the slaves are different from them. Uncle, after the incident at the Dragon King Temple at Liaohekou happened, the slaves were whipped by Duoduo and bullied by their colleagues. They have long been able to correct themselves.

thought.

"In March of this year, when the governor made an attack in the east and led his army to attack Xiong Yuecheng at night, it was his slaves who urged King Zhishun, no, that bastard Shang Kexi to dispatch Xiong Yuecheng's soldiers and horses to reinforce Lianyun Island.

"In the end, after the commander-in-chief led his army to destroy Xiongyue City, Shang Kexi, that bastard, put all the blame on the slaves and suppressed and marginalized me in every possible way.

"This time, even if the governor does not come to attack Zhenjiang Fort, even if the slave follows Prince Zheng, no, follows Jierhalang to the governor's rear area, the servant will find ways to surrender to the governor and serve the governor!"

"surrender?"

Yang Zhen was a little surprised by Jin Yukui's idea.

In the original history, Jin Yukui was one of Shang Kexi's capable generals. During the Qing Dynasty's march southward, Jin Yukui followed Shang Kexi and did many things that were outrageous to both humans and gods. Of course, Yang Zhen could not treat him

Have any good feelings.

But in this life, after Yang Zhen crossed the sea and raided southern Liaoning in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the situation changed significantly.

Shang Kexi's military strength was damaged, and he and his subordinates were punished. Although Shang Kexi himself was later restored to the title of King Zhishun, Tianzhu soldiers were removed from their independent title and lost their relatively independent status.

status, was incorporated into the Han army under the banner of Xianglan Banner.

Especially this Jin Yukui, who encountered Yang Zhen and others' disguised fake Boluo and his party in the area of ​​Longwang Temple at the mouth of Liaohe River, but was deceived by Yang Zhen and others.

As a result, he not only missed the opportunity to easily kill Yang Zhen, but also caused the navy at Tianzhuang Terrace and Liaohe Mouth to be wiped out by Yang Zhen.

After such a serious dereliction of duty happened, it is conceivable how much whipping and humiliation Jin Yukui would receive from Duduo, and how he would be ostracized and bullied by his fellow soldiers.

If he thought about the series of things that happened later that Jin Yukui said, Yang Zhen felt that under the current situation, it was not impossible for Jin Yukui to decide to find another way to make a living and take refuge in himself.

But for people like Jin Yukui, Yang Zhen naturally cannot trust him easily.

"Surrender? Haha, Jin Yukui, why are you surrendering? Just because of your old friend? Humph, now you have no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth. You have no choice but to surrender!"

There is a difference between surrender and surrender, which is why Jin Yukui proposed surrender.

Surrender means performing meritorious service or substituting merit for crime, and there is room for bargaining.

Surrendering is similar to being captured. It means you are cornered and have no choice but to accept Yang Zhen's arrangement unconditionally.

Jin Yukui proposed surrender instead of surrender at this time, which obviously had some of his own ideas.

But for Yang Zhen, it was like taking off his pants and farting, which was unnecessary.

So when faced with Jin Yukui's request for surrender, he sneered on the spot and then reminded him to recognize the reality.

However, Yang Zhen still underestimated Jin Yukui's cautiousness.

"Captain, you made a surprise attack at night, blasted your way into the city, and used the imperial soldiers and horses as internal support to capture Zhenjiang Fort in one fell swoop. You have the same style as Marshal Mao of Dongjiang! But Commander, it is easy for you to raid Zhenjiang Fort. If you want to hold on to Zhenjiang for a long time,

The fort is full of difficulties."

After all, Jin Yukui had followed Shang Kexi in Dongjiang Town and the Manchu Tatars. He grasped the key point as soon as he opened his mouth and pointed out the difficult situation that Yang Zhen was about to face.

"Under this urn city, in addition to the more than 800 people under my command, there are also ten heavy cannons to support the general Tianyou and countless gunpowder pellets. These things are crucial to defending Zhenjiang Fort in the future. Don't you want it, Commander?"

"

It turns out that this is where Jin Yukui’s confidence lies.

He actually wanted to use these heavy cannons and gunpowder pellets stored under the Weng City as terms for bargaining with Yang Zhen.

"Huh, Jin Yukui, are you blackmailing this governor?"

"I don't dare. I just want to find a way out for these brothers who live with me!"

When Jin Yukui said this, the artillerymen of the Han Army with the Blue Flag who had been hiding in Wengcheng City quickly stood up and gathered behind Jin Yukui.

Obviously, what Jin Yukui said was not only addressed to Yang Zhen and others at the top of the city, but also to the gunners under his command in Wengcheng who were selected from the Han army under Shang Kexi's command.

Although these artillerymen of the Han Army of the Xianglan Banner were selected by the people, although they were mainly Jin Yukui's old cronies, there were still quite a few personnel who were selected from other generals.

As for whether these troops would follow Jin Yukui and surrender, Jin Yukui himself had no confidence.

Even including Jin Yukui's own old troops, he has no confidence whether they will surrender with Jin Yukui at this moment.

After all, when they were selected to go out with the army, it was impossible for them to bring their family members and property with them.

Many people who are currently besieged in Wengcheng, their families, children, and property accumulated over the years are all staying in the Jiulian City area.

Once they follow Jin Yukui and surrender to Yang Zhen, one can imagine what will happen to their family and property.

If Jin Yukui cannot negotiate with Yang Zhen for a condition that they can accept under the current situation, they may really take risks.

After Jin Yukui had the idea of ​​​​surrender, his first thought was not whether Yang Zhen would accept his surrender. He was not worried about this because he had already heard about the situation of Xushun Gong Shen Zhixiang and others after they surrendered.

.

Therefore, the first thought that came to his mind when he decided to surrender to Yang Zhen was whether all those who were still in Wengcheng would follow him.

If these people left with him, then he would surrender with more than 800 people and nearly 900 people at one time, but it would be completely different from surrendering with his own brother.

Therefore, he has to find a way to win something for these people, and then he can gather them behind him in exchange for a better price.

Moreover, even if he can't win any preferential treatment in the end, as long as he takes this stance, under the current circumstances, he can still win these people to his side.

Yang Zhen didn't realize what Jin Yukui was trying to do at first with all these twists and turns.

But when he saw what Jin Yukui had said, the situation in Wengcheng had indeed changed. The artillerymen of the Han army with blue flags who had originally found their own places to defend themselves slowly gathered behind Jin Yukui with torches.

Suddenly I woke up.

"Jin Yukui, Jin Yukui——"

Yang Zhen smiled and shook his head and said Jin Yukui's name twice, then suddenly stopped and didn't say any more.

As the saying goes, see through but don't tell. It's enough for you to know Jin Yukui's thoughts. If you tell him in public, it will definitely be detrimental to Jin Yukui, but doing so will not do you any good.

Of course Yang Zhen wanted the heavy artillery under the urn city and the ammunition piled up like a hill.

Although the heavy artillery brought by Yang Zhen this time is not too small in general, the more heavy artillery is a weapon for defending the city, the more the better.

Including the artillerymen of the Han Army under the Wengcheng who were selected by Shang Kexi to use the heavy artillery of Tianyou to support the general, they were also needed by Yang Zhen.

Compared with the gunners under Yang Shen and Liu Zhongjin, these people may not be considered very skilled gunners, or very proficient in using artillery.

However, under the current situation, Yang Zhen really cannot find more skilled gunners to use for a while.

No matter what, these people are still better than the Korean troops under Liu Lin, An Yingchang and Lin Qingye who have never used heavy artillery.

"Ten Heavenly Blessings support the general, as well as the ammunition, and the gunners of more than 800 to less than 900 people——"

Yang Zhen was counting the things mentioned by Jin Yukui just now, and at the same time, he was thinking about what position he should give Jin Yukui. At this moment, his train of thought was interrupted by Jin Yukui.

"Ten heavy cannons to support the general, eight hundred and sixty gunners, mountains of ammunition, plus an armored man with a blue flag, and fifty-six cannons that were recently delivered to Waihua Island.

General's cannon. This is the surrender of my slave, and is presented to you, the Governor!"

Seeing Yang Zhen behaving like that, Jin Yukui knew that Yang Zhen was already moved, so he immediately showed his trump card and also added some new things.

Especially the so-called Niulu man wearing blue flag and armor mentioned in it aroused Yang Zhen's interest.

"A handsome man wearing blue flags and armor?"

"That's right, although there is less than one comprehensive collection, there are still a few. They are all genuine Jurchens born in New Mite Island!"

When Jin Yukui said this, before Yang Zhen had time to react, the two Tatars of the Han army with blue flags under the Wengcheng suddenly surrounded a group of people under the Wengcheng near the outer city gate.

stand up.

Now, not only did Yang Zhen understand what Jin Yukui was going to do, but even the people who were trapped in the Wengcheng who had watched the "confrontation" between Jin Yukui and Yang Zhen at the top of the city also realized that Jin Yukui was in a stalemate.

This is selling them.

One of the Tatar leaders, who looked like Niulu Zhangjing, suddenly pointed at Jin Yukui with a shield and a sword, shouting loudly, as if he was asking Jin Yukui something.

The situation under the Wengcheng suddenly became tense.

"Jin Yukui, as the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty's Zuo Army, I accept your surrender and order you to be the staff general of the third battalion of the first artillery regiment of the Ming Dynasty's advance army to the east. You will be the internal officer of the third battalion."

, it will be up to you to select and choose after this battle!"
