When new soldiers go into battle, even when facing an enemy with a huge gap in strength, it is inevitable that many problems will be exposed. And this is what Zhou Shixian focused on.

However, what surprised him was that Zheng Chenggong actually discovered many problems by being on the front line of the battlefield. It seems that some things really depend on talent. It is no wonder that Zheng Chenggong was able to achieve such achievements in history, just

Within two or three years, he took over the entire Zheng Group.

It can only be said that if Chongzhen is allowed to come, let alone fight against the Zheng uncles who hold military power, take over the entire military and trade group, and subdue those arrogant generals, I am afraid that Chongzhen will not be able to control the first few hundred troops.

.

Although the evolution of history has its fundamental reasons, the role played by people in it is the most critical. Whether a small amount can add up to a large amount, and whether the weak can become strong, is the most unreasonable. History is precisely because

It is only by chance that we need to study it and find many solutions to the dilemma.

The problem of recruits exposed on the battlefield aroused Zhou Shixian's great attention. Naturally, this included his gestures to attract the attention of all parties, and Zhou Shixian's concerns.

Especially when the soldiers charged, the entire formation was in chaos. If they were facing the Tatars, a strong army that was pretending to be defeated and luring the enemy deeper, they might not even be able to survive.

Not only that, but many soldiers became frightened and began to panic after hearing the screams on the battlefield. Many soldiers did not understand the meaning of war drums and bugles. They could still look at their comrades on the side during training, but now they really

If the sword is real and the gun is about to see blood, who can we turn to?

It is an extremely serious problem for soldiers not to understand war drums and bugles. There is too much noise on the battlefield, and shouting slogans alone is not enough. Without the cooperation of flag orders, war drums, and bugles, the army will most likely lose command.

Falling into chaos. And these problems are even more serious for new recruits.

And just when Zhou Shixian was sorting out the problems exposed in the first battle of the army, he heard that his troops were attacked by Liu Zeqing's servants, and he was furious. He immediately ordered his trusted generals Li Benzhen, Hu Maozhen and others to lead the elite troops.

One thousand, ready to earn back my face.

However, Gao Jie also kept a cautious eye. After he asked clearly that the servant team only had one or two hundred people, he was worried that he had fallen into Liu Zeqing's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, so he left Li Chengdong to lead the remaining half of the elite troops to garrison the base camp.

Gao Jie naturally did not want to go to Tianshui County to fight the hundreds of servants. He felt that after Liu Zeqing succeeded, he would immediately send troops and horses to stop him along the way, so he planned to catch him by surprise and go southeast from Xuzhou to plunder along the canal.

After a while, they then ambush Liu Zeqing's reinforcements.

Gao Jie had no doubts about Liu Zeqing's sneak attack on him. After all, the two had conflicts before and had a small-scale fight. If you really think about it, Gao Jie is much more restrained now because of Zhou Shixian's existence.

In the original history, he fought with Huang Degong, and was good at killing court officials. He also fought with Liu Zeqing for looting Yangzhou, and even massacred the city. To say that he had committed all kinds of evil was an understatement. So it was later learned that he

When he died in Henan, the people of Yangzhou celebrated him one after another.

It can only be said that if it were not forced by the current situation, Zhou Shixian would never tolerate these military leaders continuing to do evil under his nose. But now he can only give them a warning and punishment and use them for his own purposes.

Therefore, under Zhou Shixian's plan, Gao Jie finally secretly went south along the canal from Xuzhouwei, plundered Suqian and Shuyang, and then had a small battle with Liu Zeqing, who came after hearing the news, at Liujiazhuang south of Shuyang.

Gao Jie's troops and horses were still stronger than Liu Zeqing's, especially after Liu Zeqing lost Ma Huabao's troops, but Gao Jie only led a thousand men and horses, so his troops were at a disadvantage. After the two rookies pecked each other,

No one can defeat anyone, so we have to sit down and have a good talk.

Liu Zeqing was also depressed - for that little trouble last time, did you, Gao Jie, have to mobilize so many troops and bring more than a thousand people to Huai'an to start a war?

However, upon contact, the two immediately realized that something was wrong. Liu Zeqing confirmed again and again and told Gao Jie with absolute certainty that it was impossible for his elite servants to go to Tianshui County, let alone attack his soldiers.

After Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing had a serious fight, they had already suspected it. Liu Zeqing's servants didn't seem to have the ability to fight one against two, or even three.

It's just that it's okay not to confirm. Once it's confirmed that it's not the other party, the problem will be big. Now, with this strength, the only one who can enter Tianshui County unnoticed is Xue Changfu, Commander-in-Chief Xue of Yangzhou.

.

If so, it is obvious who is behind this.

Thinking of this, both Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing broke into cold sweats. They were not only frightened by Zhou Shixian's powerful army, but also because they were fighting here today, but it was a crime!

As a result, the two people had an idea, quickly shook hands and made peace, changed their tune, and announced to the outside world that they were working together to suppress bandits. As for the people who died in Suqian and Muyang, they naturally became bandits.

As for those local officials, no one would get involved in this kind of thing at this time. If they wait until the two of them fall, many people will come up and step on them hard. But Lu Zhenfei, who is far away in Huai'an, can

If you don't know this, it's hard to say.

Then, the two men quickly led their troops back to their bases. As soon as Gao Jie left, he immediately sent sentries to Tianshui to inquire about the news. He himself led his troops back to Xuzhou to cope with the changes by remaining unchanged.

The same was true for Liu Zeqing. After he led his troops back to Huai'an, after thinking about it, he felt that he still couldn't sit still and wait for death. What's more, this was Gao Jie's fault. Why didn't he take the opportunity to express himself and try to change his impression in the heart of the consort?

As a result, Liu Zeqing immediately ordered all the troops under his command to be careful in their words and deeds, and all stayed in the military camp, and were not allowed to go out to plunder. And he went to Fengyang Mansion in person to ask for an audience with Zhou Shixian to show his loyalty.

At the same time, Gao Jie learned that Zhou Shixian had led his troops to the north and had nearly 2,000 troops. He did not dare to wait and see anymore. Although he was sure that Zhou Shixian would not kill him, after thinking about it, he knew that this was a plot by the other party.

But the problem is that under the current situation, he is a mute eating Coptis chinensis and cannot express his sufferings.

After all, this not only violated Emperor Chongzhen's imperial edict, but also offended Zhou Shixian.

Of course, the former is not important, the latter is the key. In this world, those who have soldiers and strong armies are what they say. Gao Jie does not think he can defeat this scheming and powerful prince-in-law.

.

In the end, under Zhou Shixian's swaggering and deliberately slow march, it took the army three full days to reach Sizhou from Tianshui. Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing gathered at Sizhou Fucheng on the night of that day and the early morning of the next day respectively.

Although Liu Zeqing arrived a few hours earlier than Gao Jie, Zhou Shixian did not receive him and kept him standing outside waiting. In the middle of the night, Zhou Shixian had naturally gone to bed long ago. Could it be that Liu Zeqing could allow the Prince Consort of the Ming Dynasty to get up in the middle of the night and perform a grand ceremony?

Reception?

Gao Jie was not much better. He also waited outside for three hours of sunshine. Zhou Shixian had breakfast and heard the reports from Xue Laoer and others before he met Gao Jie. Liu Zeqing was still left outside, and he could see that

Zheng Chenggong was worried for him.

To deal with these military leaders who are tough but not soft, Zhou Shixian will naturally not act like a polite corporal. Only talking to him with fists is feasible. Historically, Shi Kefa and Emperor Hongguang were too soft and gave them a chance.

None of them worked, which led to the complete loss of control of the four towns in Jiangbei.

Moreover, what kind of talents are these people? They deserve Zhou Shixian to have a better attitude towards them.

If they are the heroes of Zheng Chenggong, Li Dingguo, Zhang Huangyan, and Zhang Mingzhen, no matter how bad they are, they must have the civil and military skills of people like Liu Wenxiu and Li Laiheng.

Otherwise, Zhou Shixian will have to put on whatever airs he needs, not to mention that he doesn't like these people. If he behaves well, he may not kill him. If he dares to escape from the battle and secretly communicate with the Qing army, Zhou Shixian will never let him go.

Pass.

Under the leadership of Zhou Shixian's personal guards, Gao Jie disarmed himself and passed through five layers of guards before finally entering the inner courtyard of the government office in Sizhou Fucheng, where he finally saw Mr. Sitting on the main seat, looking through the book.

Zhou Shixian.

Originally, Gao Jie was not too nervous. After all, he had been through life and death for so many years, and he had seen the world. He had already seen Prince Consort Zhou Shixian, so he was not unsure.

However, after being guarded by five heavily armed soldiers of the Prince Consort, Gao Jie's mentality could not help but undergo subtle changes. When facing Zhou Shixian, who was surrounded by Xue Laoer and other officers, he immediately lost his strength and was beaten by Zhou Shixian.

At a glance, he quickly knelt down to apologize.

After Zhou Shixian listened to Gao Jie's confession, his expression did not change at first, and then suddenly smiled coldly and said: "Gao Jie, I'm afraid the crimes you have committed are not just these!"

When Gao Jie heard this, he knew that he couldn't fool him, and looking at Zhou Shixian's appearance, he must have been prepared for it. He had no choice but to confess obediently, but for what he did in Fengyang during this period, he avoided the important and took the easy.

Push away those who push, and those who can take the blame don't hesitate at all.

He was actually testing Zhou Shixian's attitude. If the situation went bad, he would have to find a way to escape.

After Zhou Shixian gave the opponent a powerful blow, he did not directly pursue him or push him into a hurry. He just said a few innocuous words.

Just when Gao Jie was secretly proud, thinking that he had finally fooled him, Zhou Shixian suddenly changed the topic and shouted angrily:
Chapter completed!
