Chapter 1162: Things on the Ground
Who is this Xu Dingguo?
Resume cattle fork, the real battle-hardened, fought outside the pass, suppressed bandits inside the pass, more than ten years ago on the rank of the general soldier, Chongzhen fifteen years because of the defeat in the Kaifeng operation plus the previous rescue of Henan arson plunder, several crimes and punishment, sentenced to death.
However, before the autumn queen asked for beheading, Li Zicheng defeated Sun Chuanting's soldiers into the customs, and the imperial court had no generals available, and it was not allowed to reinstate Xu Dingguo and several other criminal generals to assist in suppressing the Henan general military officer, but the goods were defeated again, and they knew that the imperial court could not spare them and fled.
In history, when he was inescapable, in the first half month of Emperor Chongzhen's suicide, in order to win the hearts of the people, he asked generals from all over the country to come to King Qin, and many people were added to the rank of knight in one go, among which Xu Dingguo was among them, but Tang Tong went alone at that time.
On March 18, Li Zicheng broke through Beijing, Xu Dingguo had no place to go back to his hometown with more than 100 people, and originally wanted to go to Nanjing, but because he had no soldiers and no generals in his hands, he gathered people in the countryside to slowly try to make it, and then led the people to loot in the wilderness.
And at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, when the Tartars just entered the customs, the whole country was in chaos, and the officials of the state and county either fled south or were captured and killed by the thieves or waited and waited to surrender to Cheng.
Xu Dingguo began to be a demon at this time, although he plundered the wilderness but almost did not disturb the city, which made the squires of Suizhou (now Sui County, Henan) still have a good impression of him, and some of the big squires wanted to join forces with him to govern themselves, which was exactly what he wanted, so he gradually became a real leader in Suizhou from more than 100 people, and even another big man responded with him.
This person is Li Jiyu, the leader of Nanwuzhai who built a village to protect himself nearby.
The historical records of this person are unknown, and there are many brushstrokes, and even various historical materials are contradictory to each other, but there are a few points that are very unified, first rebelled for the thieves and killed officials, and then surrendered to the imperial court and then fell into the grass to oppose the Qing, and then surrendered to the Qing.
Second, martial arts are strong.
First, the power is very large, when it descended to the Qing Dynasty, it had one government and two states, twelve counties, more than 1,000 cottages of all sizes, and more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.
Although Chang Yu crossed over and changed some historical trajectories, some of them are still walking on the original trajectory, such as Xu Dingguo still returned to his hometown after the defeat of the war, and the court has been busy fighting for several months and has no time to hang him, and he is afraid that the court will punish the crime and dare not go back, so that this guy is now in Guide Mansion (Fuzhi is now Shangqiu, leading a state and eight counties) Suizhou is thriving.
But I didn't expect to hear his name outside Xuzhou City.
After listening to Chang Yu's popular science, everyone was surprised, and the situation was even more exclaiming: "I was a criminal general, but I entrenched myself in the township as a thief, and I should know that the imperial court sent troops to suppress him."
Chang Yu smiled bitterly, at present, thieves everywhere are like cow hairs, and the court is powerless, not to mention that the big thieves are so fierce, how can they pay attention to these small fish and shrimp.
"If this thief from Shahu Mountain really has something to do with Xu and Li, you have to deal with it carefully" Li Muxian stroked his beard and frowned, Chang Yu laughed: "Do you think it's possible?" The crowd was confused.
"Three or four hundred miles to Suizhou, can Xu Li's hands be stretched so long? Besides, with Gao Jie's temperament, he allows others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch? And just a few miles out of the city? ”
"Uh...... The adult said, these thieves are just bluffing, but why do they have to do this? ”
But any big warlord who is entrenched in one side of the fish and the common people, the black and white are eager to share the income with him, so the Xuzhou territory must be supplied to Gao Jie regardless of whether it is a backer or a draft, but when necessary, it is necessary to clear up the relationship, first, to pay attention to the impact of reputation, after all, not everyone wants Liu Zeqing to be so shameless, and secondly, they are afraid of being implicated.
And at the moment, these local snakes in Shahu Mountain have obviously seen the difference between the officers and soldiers of the Black Wolf Battalion, even if Lao Jiu said that he had an old relationship with Gao Jie, they didn't dare to believe it, in case they came to get evidence, so the farther away the better......
You taste, you taste.
Only then did everyone realize that they were just afraid of causing trouble to Gao Jie, so the trouble moved eastward, but this excuse was too far-fetched, and there was simply no three hundred taels of silver here.
"Then Shahu Mountain and the Jiaolong Gang are going to negotiate with us tomorrow, how should they deal with it?" Lao Jiu asked, Chang Yu smiled slightly: "Since he knows that you and Gao Jie have an old relationship, whether you believe it or not, he doesn't dare to act for the time being, at least he doesn't dare to do it until Gao Jie confirms it, but now it's just a bluff, isn't there a saying in the rivers and lakes that people who lose don't lose battles, that's what he said."
"Damn, Lao Tzu still wants Ming'er to serve it directly, and he has been pretending to be a calf there for a long time" Lao Jiu scolded and scolded, everyone laughed for a while, Chang Yu groaned slightly, and suddenly said: "You can also do it."
Everyone was stunned, and Li Muxian hurriedly said: "My lord, since you know that you are Gao Jie's person, why do you still ...... When we first arrived at the ground and killed his people, we are afraid that it will not be good to sweep his face."
Chang Yu smiled playfully: "We can know that it is Gao Jie's person, or we may not know that it is his person, and because I first arrived in the ground, we have to kill a few people."
Everyone was confused when they said this, but Li Muxian understood.
Gao Jie is notoriously arrogant, belonging to the kind of spiritual guy who is the most hanging, coolest and coolest in Lao Tzu, or he would dare to set up an ambush and kill another thorn Huang Degong in history, he is simply the king of heaven Lao Tzu I am the biggest, which is very in line with his identity as a thief.
Historical data say that at that time, the Ming general Bai Guangen was the most rebellious and ferocious, but Gao Jie was even more brutal and could be described as brutal.
But after meeting Chang Yu so far, this goods have converged a lot, but Chang Yu can't handle him much, and now he mainly relies on killing chickens and monkeys to scare him, and the other is kidnapping with interests.
Relying on this alone is not enough, it is necessary to make this goods feel terrifying from the depths of his heart, so that he has a handle to fall into his hands, so the thief of Shahu Mountain must die, so that Gao Jie knows that it is impossible for the little eunuch not to know that the people in Shahu Mountain are covered by him, and he knows that he still kills him, just to tell him: I know that you are a thief!
The reason why I killed you can be understood as destroying the evidence for you, or you can understand it as doing it for yourself.
But no matter how you understand it, you have the handle in my hands.
What's more, Shahu Mountain's people are thieves, so what's wrong with killing them!
"What about the Jiaolong Gang?" As soon as Lao Jiu heard that he could go on a killing spree, he immediately became ready to move like a chicken blood.
"Jiaolong helps the water to beg for a living, and it is considered a black and astringent society to die, and the crime is not to death, and once you see the fate of Shahu Mountain, you will have the bottom in your heart."
Then everyone began to discuss how to kill the thieves in Shahu Mountain, but it was not difficult.
There are only more than 100 thieves in Shahu Mountain, only one-third of the black wolf battalion, as long as they don't go up the mountain to attack the village, whether they fight alone or in groups, whether they fight on foot or in cavalry, the black wolf battalion can go back and forth in seconds.
What's more, tomorrow can be completely under the pretext of negotiation to surprise the killer.
But Chang Yu suddenly had a very insidious idea, he not only wanted to kill these thieves, but also let Gao Jie's people watch from the side.
"Have you ever been in the city?"
Lao Jiu shook his head: "When we first arrived, we fought two fights and did not enter the city, and we have never seen the officers and soldiers in the city come out to interfere, but the steward of Octopus has entered the city several times in the past few days."
"The three parties outside the city have been fighting fiercely for several days, and there has been no movement in the city, and there is a strange taste of this" Li Muxian stroked his beard and smiled, and Lao Jiu snorted: "I just pretended to be confused."
"So the governor let them not pretend to be confused, Ming'er sent people into the city early in the morning to show their identity, and said that they would be a peacemaker and make peace with the people of Shahu Mountain, and they would gladly come with them" Chang Yu snorted coldly, and everyone nodded.
"But I don't know if Gao Jie is not there, who is in charge of affairs in this city, this person can endure for two days without showing his face, but he also has some scheming" Li Muxian asked casually, Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "Maybe this governor knows."
Gao Jie has two henchmen, one is Li Chengdong, who was killed by Chang Yuji a month ago.
The other is his deputy general Hu Maozhen, that is, the one who reported the news in history and plotted against Huang Degong, Gao Jie went north a few months ago and he stayed in Xuzhou, so now he is the one who talks in the city.
In addition to Hu Maozhen, Gao Jie also has two right-hand men, Sun Shoufa and Li Guoqi.
To be exact, the two of them were Gao Jie's top bosses before, Sun Shoufa was first with Cao Wenzhao, and after Cao Zhan's death, he followed He Renlong, and Gao Jie surrendered from Li Zicheng's side, Hong Chengchou arranged him to He Renlong, and He Renlong asked him to follow his guerrilla general Sun Shoufa. Li Guoqi was He Renlong's deputy general at that time.
Later, after He Renlong died in battle, under the recommendation of Sun Chuanting, another general of He Renlong, Wu Dading, took over and led his team, Sun Shoufa and Li Guoqi were not convinced and followed Gao Jie (it is also possible that Wu Dading later surrendered Li Zicheng and the two left) Of course, after the death of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Shoufa and Wu Dading joined forces to resist the Qing Dynasty, which was later.
Although Gao Jie has a brutal temperament, he is not brainless, although he reluctantly led his troops north to King Qinwang under the persecution of the court and the little eunuchs, but he was particularly concerned about his own one-acre and three-point land, and did not dare to be careless, because there were three big thieves on the boundary of Xuzhou, Kou Cheng Jikong, Wang Daoshan, and Zhang Fangzao.
These three people began to rebel from Chongzhen eight years, Xuzhou, Dangshan, Xiao County this area of hundreds of miles of momentum, siege and plundering the village is very noisy, several times to capture the county seat of Xiao County, until last year by Huaixu Dao Senator He Tengjiao and Caoyun Governor Huaiyang Governor Lu Zhenfei jointly deployed the generals to defeat it, the thief first Cheng Jikong escorted the capital.
The hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, He Tengjiao had just settled the three thieves and left, but the remnants of the three thieves were about to resurge, which made Gao Jie dare not be careless, so he sent troops north to Xuzhou to be empty, and told Hu Maozhen and the three of them to be sure not to catch fire in the backyard.
In history, Cheng Jikong was escorted to the capital to show the public, but his life should not be extinguished, just arrived in Beijing Li Zicheng came in, this guy took advantage of the chaos to escape, returned to his hometown to continue to occupy the mountain as the king, and was arrested and killed by Gao Jie, so he was named a prince and a prince by the Southern Ming court, and also gave his minor son Gao Yuanjue a hereditary brocade affair.
The interesting thing is that Gao Jie killed Cheng Jikong not by force, but by flickering, he knew that Cheng Jikong was brave and good at fighting, and his power was also big, so he said to Cheng Jikong, you have no future for the king, and you have no future, mix with buddies, buddies are now one of the four towns in Jiangbei, there are soldiers, food, and territory, and the future is immeasurable, and even in order to let Cheng Jikong let down his guard and worship his son as a brother, over time, Cheng Jikong let down his guard, and one day went to Gao Jie's camp to drink, and then was cut into mud! (From Jiang Shihuan, a native of Tongshan in the Qing Dynasty, "Shu Gaojie Xucheng Jikong"
Of course, the current historical trajectory has changed, Li Zicheng did not take Beijing City, Cheng Jikong did not flee back, and Gao Jie did not have a chance to fool him, but his old department is really resurrected.
So Gao Jie left his three right-hand men in Xuzhou.
