Chapter 154: Emperor Yongchang's Edict
"Shi Gong, the wind is strong on the river, so please let Shi Gong go to the boat to avoid it for a while."
It was Ying Tingji's third time asking the Lord Mu to avoid the wind and waves for the time being. However, although the wind on the river was getting stronger and stronger, the Lord Mu Shi Kefa, who was wearing a straw raincoat, had no idea of getting on the boat to hide from the wind and rain.
"Even if the supervisor is determined to die here, please ask the supervisor to plan for thousands of soldiers at this ferry to support their spirits, rather than consciously be ignorant..."
The strategist Zhu Guocai not only felt that Master Mu was sincere in his sacrifice for his country, but also hated that Master Mu did nothing when he was about to come, and he was determined to die. In desperation, he actually said harsh words. Fortunately, Ying Tingji stopped him in time, so he did not say the following words.
"All officials in the capital are at peace with the old customs and do not meet the current affairs. Only the supervisor runs around and prepares the game. Although today's battle is defeated, our army still has strength. How can the supervisor give up easily?"
Ying Tingji sighed in his heart, his master's name is Bingqing-gang, I don't know if it's the blessing of their aides or their sadness.
Ye Mingshui held an umbrella by the side and watched silently.
Shi Kefa still looked into the river with his hands behind his back. Just when Ying Tingji, Zhu Guocai and other staff members thought that the master of the temple was unwilling to say more to them as before, Shi Kefa sighed, looked back at everyone, and said, "It's been five days, can a soldier and a soldier arrive in Nandu? As Xichen said, there is no one in Nandu who has the current affairs."
Everyone was sad. Not only did Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianxi brothers escape back without obeying the order, but five days later, no ship of soldiers came on the other side, which made people desperate.
There are really no officials from the Southern Capital, including those with the country's close relatives and honorary officials!
"I'm happy to be my neighbor, I'm afraid that my great fortune will not last long,"
Shi Kefa slowly turned around, his eyes swept across the faces of the staff and officials one by one, and finally shook his head without any chance and sighed: "Although I am loyal, how can I turn the world back?"
After saying that, resoluteness reappeared.
"I cannot control the king's fortune and the matter of loyalty to the king. Now I cannot determine Huaiyang and quell the traitors and chaos; second, I cannot adjust the generals and understand the laws and regulations; third, I cannot enforce the administration of officials and work in real time. I only want to use my death to awaken the numb people in the southern capital. Once the country is destroyed, how can they live in a drunken and dream and die again, and live the life of chasing joy, looking for flowers and willows, and the swallow's nest curtain!"
Shi Kefa was really determined to die. It was half an hour after the thief sent a letter to intimidate him. He expected that the thief would launch an attack, and he would take advantage of the storm and the officers and soldiers' muskets that could not be used in the storm.
Therefore, he will not be able to live in this world for a long time.
I hope that these words just now can enter Nandu, so that those numb people can be sober!
All the aides, Zheng Hongkui, Ye Mingshui and other generals were silent. Shi Gong had decided that they could not persuade him. He also knew that the thief was about to attack, and his mind had their own tricks. But he could still persist now, but it was just to send Shi Gong's last journey.
However, just as Shi Kefa held his breath and waited for the bandits to attack in a large scale, and he wanted to make a final decision, a riot suddenly broke out in the distance, and then countless officers and soldiers rushed towards the bandits.
"Who is so brave?"
Shi Kefa was stunned: Could it be that the blood-savage brave men of the official army took the initiative to attack?
Zheng Hongkui and others were also surprised. Because there was no military order to attack, why did all the soldiers go east? Many people thought that it was the soldiers who were unwilling to be trapped and fought bravely, and couldn't help but feel energetic.
However, looking at the soldiers who went east, they did not shout for a killing call. Instead, they looked at the joyful and danced with joy. There was a voice calling friends from farther away. After listening carefully, there was a call of "Get silver, take silver" and "seeking wealth, seeking wealth".
this?
The first time the guerrilla Ye Mingshui changed color, and he seemed to think of something. Soon after, a middle-aged official came to report in panic, saying that the thieves were lured to surrender, and all the officers and soldiers surrendered to the thief.
"The army of the imperial court is so unbearable!"
In pain, Shi Kefa wanted to draw his sword and cut off the stone to relieve his anger, but his sword had already been opened.
.........
One trip to ten, ten trip to hundreds, and more than four thousand Ming troops rushed to join us. This situation made Lu Si, who was also standing in the wind and rain, and sighed like Shi Gong's law-abiding heart: "Is this army of the court really unbearable?"
The Huai Army kept its promise and rewarded a silver ingot when they came to join the Ming army. Some officers led their troops to come, or those who were recruiting people to come, would give them silver rewards.
It is cost-effective to spend only yellow and white things, but it has more than 4,000 soldiers.
Looking at the ferry again, there were only a few hundred people on the pier under the sea boat.
"Brother Lu, I think the Ming Dynasty is really not good. Let's be honest and upright official army. If you really want to say anything about Shi Gong surrender to you, I might as well take my brother back to my hometown to farm."
Caoyan Sun Si's words moved Lu Si. Looking at the rest of the people, they all felt that Sun Si's words were reasonable.
"Even these wastes deserve our allegiance? That is, there is no ship. If there is a ship, our Huai Army will fight together even his Nandu!"
Sun San from the big group "snatched" a mouthful, "snatched" not only the thousands of officers and soldiers who surrendered for the sake of silver, but also the incompetent Ming army commander on the dock.
If the former Ming Dynasty Jianhe Army, Gaoyouwei, Nayangzhou Shidewei's army, Gansu Li Qifeng's army, Sichuan Hu Shangyou's army only allowed the Huai Army to initially establish confidence in fighting the Ming army, the Battle of Guazhoudu made the Huai Army feel completely contempt for the Ming army.
This contempt is not a contempt that is arrogant and arrogant, but a pride that I am really better than you and is really stronger than you.
The establishment of this mentality played a crucial role in the powerful general of the Huai Army, but it also disrupted Lu Si's plan.
Just as Sun Wujin explained to everyone why he wanted to surrender to Dashun, Lu Si wanted to take advantage of the situation and use Dashun's power to sell the Huai Army at a high price in the Ming Dynasty, so that the pressure from the rear of the Huai Army could be reduced in the upcoming anti-Qing struggle.
But now, the Ming army's unbearable performance has already made this trend reach its highest point - there is nothing to sell.
No one wants to bow his head to someone who is far inferior to himself.
This is not a matter of dignity, but a real issue of survival.
Except for Lu Si himself, there were obviously few people in the Huai Army who were willing to discuss recruitment with Shi Gong, a Shi Gong in Nandu.
At this moment, I am afraid that all the generals are ready to catch Shi Gong.
Lu Si didn't know what kind of psychological struggles Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang, Li Guo, Li Laiheng and others had experienced when facing this problem in their previous lives.
But he knew that the "power" of the Huai Army must not fade.
"Go back to Yangzhou and go with me to receive the order of Emperor Yongchang of Dashun!" Lu Si turned his horse's head and signaled Qi Bao to take the reins.
Sun Wujin was stunned and blurted out: "Master Lu, then Shi Kefa?"
"Let him go."
Lu Si turned his head and looked at the dock for the last time. He would not kill Shi Kefa, even if Shi Kefa sat there waiting for him to kill.
The history is well-written, even if the slaves are not destroyed, it is still possible to do so;
The great kindness was so great that it failed to avenge the country.
Lu Si will kill many people and never think too much about killing people, but some people cannot be killed.
Shi Kefa calculates one.
Lu Si was no longer interested in whether Shi Kefa, who had become the "uncle commander", should continue to be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty in Guazhoudu or make other choices.
