Chapter 226: Gao Jie is captured
Gao Jie is a good person.
Although he has a past of snatching his wife from the thief Li Zicheng, he is naturally pointed at, but Gao Jie himself is very calm, Mrs. Xing can be called talented, how many power struggles, he is a person from the same background as Li Zicheng, he can be in the era of corruption and openness, warlord factionalization, as a general, mixed into one of the four towns, although being able to fight is the first element, but this ability to come to the source is the first.
It is a pity that he died in history, he should have taken advantage of the moment when the Jurchens had not yet fully controlled the land north of the Yellow River, he was in Henan, and went on the Northern Expedition, when there were potential rebels like Jiang Xiang in Shanxi, and the two joined forces to put the Jurchens in a dilemma, and Wu Sangui was definitely not a person who was willing to lie dormant at the feet of people.
It's a pity that after arriving in Henan, he was betrayed by the Ming army generals who thought he was a companion, and he himself was very careless, and after being framed into the room by several prostitutes, he died so tragically.
Hou Fangyu's reason for "asking" him to go out is very simple, at this time the world is in chaos, several businessmen want to ask for a response, and they are willing to donate a sum of food, enough for the army to march and fight, although Gao Jie is worried about what the imperial capital means to him, but any qualified general likes the days when he has soldiers and food under his hands, and there is free food, Gao Jie is naturally very happy.
At this time, there is no rule for the second generation of later generations to find a few white gloves to eat dry stocks, basically worship a protΓ©gΓ©, and then send some silver, for Gao Jie, silver is still secondary, the key is food.
Eat and eat, the food culture is still very broad and profound, Gao Jie and a few people ate quite happily, and gradually after some people got up, someone asked: "General Gao, I don't know what you think about the future situation in the world." β
Gao Jie glanced at the fat man in front of him, always felt that something was wrong, hugged the prostitute next to him, and said: "What else, always listen to the words of the boss, just do things honestly, as long as you serve the soldiers under Lao Tzu well, you will naturally ensure that you live this life smoothly." β
The fat man seemed to glance at a Sven man next to him who had been silent, and said, "But the new dynasty has changed, isn't the general heartbroken?" β
Gao Jie said: "Then what can I do, you see, the ministers in the court, who doesn't go to the imperial capital to sell well, what they hate, it's just that the court refuses to open the floodgates and release water, and give it to an official. β
The fat man said, "There must always be loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty." β
"Loyal ministers, loyal ministers, Lao Tzu has been fighting with Daming for some years, but I haven't seen it, what is this loyal minister of Daming like, you have seen it, tell me about it."
The fat man was a little embarrassed, and said: "I just heard that Governor Ma also went to the imperial capital in person, I don't know if I can turn back, I heard that over there in the imperial capital, the new lord of the world has a lot of prejudices against us and other Jiangnan people, how is this good." β
In terms of Gao Jie's nature, the character of the people of northern Shaanxi is really incompatible with these profiteers, but he still said: "If you have a hand and don't hit the giver, you send the white flowers and silver, as well as the piles of beauties into the mansion of the big official, he can still eat you again, be clever yourself, don't learn from those nerds, I've been in Jiangnan for a year, and I'm annoyed to look at it crookedly every day." β
Whether it is Gao Jie's background, experience, or the Guizhou identity of Ma Shiying, who is in charge of him, he is incompatible with the Donglin Party in Jiangnan, and naturally he is also estranged.
Seeing that the scholar next to him was already angry, the fat man glanced at it as if flattering, and said, "Not really, they are all scholars who read poetry and books, and I think there are still rules." β
"Bullshit, what's in the book, just understand everything? It's all read into the dog's belly, it's not like I haven't seen it, hum, the mouth is beautiful, you let him not take money, can't be greedy for money, can't hook up with the little lady, a few people who are willing to read the dead book, have already seen through it. β
After Gao Jie said this, he shouted: "What are you doing with these troubles, those sour people ignore him, and they see someone cleaning them up!" β
After three rounds of drinking, Gao Jie hugged the famous prostitutes who were said to have been invited from the Qinhuai River, and went to Shuangshuang, this is Fengyang City, in his eyes is naturally his own territory, and the pro-soldiers naturally have a lot of prostitutes who can hug and have fun, he is considered to be a generous general, after being killed in history, his subordinates do not want any Jurchen gold and silver rewards, desperately attack the city, and desperately kill the Ming army generals who killed him.
That's a good guy, isn't it?
In the eyes of others, Gao Jie is very problematic, at least in Hou Fangyu, these few words have almost reached the point of perfect murder, this is not empty words, but the fact that his father himself said, as Gao Jie said, the new court has everything, and there is no need to cooperate with the Donglin Party at all, then it is a matter of time before the Donglin Party is completely ********.
Moreover, there is a deep-seated reason why Gao Jie ridiculed them so much, under the continuous propaganda offensive, the Donglin Party gradually found that its market began to decline all the way, from the original Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty, dominating the dynasty, to now all kinds of whispers are continuous, and the scene is very ugly.
All kinds of small jokes, mixed with all kinds of yellow jokes also appeared suddenly, when the elders found that the literacy rate of the people of the Ming Dynasty and the hobby of all kinds of salty and wet jokes, all kinds of yellow jokes from later generations that have accumulated hundreds of years naturally came into being, although xx is white, xx is not the pool of things These things The background of the times is too strong, but there are always those who stand at the forefront of the times, those yellow jokes that span a hundred years are not so easy to defeat.
Of course, as we said, all the bad guys basically attended as the Donglin Party, and Huang Shiren also changed from the original local bully to the inferior gentleman who had been the Donglin Party before.
Even if the Donglin Party controlled the land, and then controlled the peasants who were attached to the land, and beat the people who spread the pamphlets, then those green-skinned thugs were destroyed by the destruction, after all, how could a stick beat a short gun?
Historically, any loose alliance with interests as the core like the Donglin Party, in the rising period, of course, is a mass response, and 10,000 people obey, but with a slight setback, this party will inevitably fall apart directly, and there is no need to waste even half of time.
Of course, for Hou Fangyu, it is not troublesome to do certain things at all, the big deal is to give an order and let Zuo Liangyu send people to do things.
Gao Jie easily didn't come to the city once, he usually wanted a woman who could be refreshing, but the soldiers had been hungry for a long time, Gao Jie might still reach out in terms of money, but after all, there was a wife Mrs. Xing who could be in charge of the house, Gao Jiejun's military discipline was still very tight in terms of the soldier's trouser belt, although there was always a way to put out the fire every once in a while, but the soldiers had never seen such a high-level beauty, and they were all dumbfounded at that time.
They were on the wine table in a single place, guessing the wine order, and even one had already taken off his clothes, and when he felt that something was wrong, he raised his head and found a bunch of men with knives outside, with fierce eyes, and when he wanted to grab the weapon again, he had already been caught by the knife in his hand.
After a while, when a few long knives were pointed at Gao Jie, he was not in a hurry, although his mouth was full of wine, he still calmly shouted: "Come on, kill these little cubs for me." β
His own soldiers have really seen blood on the battlefield, and if it is really a real fight with a knife and a real gun, he is not afraid of anyone.
However, as if there was no movement at all, he thought he was in the "base camp" for a long time, how could Ma Shiying's subordinates dare to deal with themselves?
"What do you mean by that?"
Realizing that his subordinates may have been dealt with, Gao Jie was not panicked, for him, there was nothing to be surprised about, outside the city was his more than 10,000 elites, and whoever dared to touch him would be retaliated against immediately.
Seeing that Gao Jie had been captured, Hou Fangyu naturally became proud, and said: "Gao Jie, quickly hand over your talismans, and from now on your soldiers and horses will be handed over to me to command, and naturally spare your life!" β
"Talismans? What's that? β
"Hmmm! How do you usually lead soldiers, you don't even have a soldier talisman. β
"Your own brother, a team of 10,000 people, what kind of talisman do you want, you are stupid."
In the classical era, at least in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China realized that the army could not be privately owned, and invented the military charm system, which was also more advanced than the level of bandits and hooligans, but later, the army system slowly collapsed, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, soldiers were generals and had become the mainstream.
As Gao Jie is concerned, he will use what kind of Lao Shizi talisman when he is stupid, and he will not firmly control the palm of his hand, which is the key to maintaining glory and wealth in the future, what is the talisman?
Hou Fangyu glared and said, "The military talisman is the system of the imperial court, you dare to make it!" β
Everyone else is almost going to fall, this emperor is dead, what are you doing to scare people with the court.
Hou Fangyu also knew that he seemed to be speaking in a bad way, so he said: "Okay, you give the order to let your army obey me, and I will spare you from death." β
Gao Jie sneered and said, "Okay, you let me go back, I will order them to listen to you." β
Hou Fangyu just read the book of the dead, and he was not stupid, and said: "That's not good, you just give your own order, people live in the city, don't you still have a son, let him come into the city, instead of you." β
If there are no hostages in hand, letting you go is not equivalent to turning your head and waiting for you to come back with your troops to wash the city.
Gao Jie looked at it, and the others were all businessmen, and the young man seemed to be in charge, so he said, "Which one are you, I have never seen you." β
Hou Fangyu said proudly: "In Xia Hou Fangyu, it is the son of the former household department, and it is normal that you don't know me." β
Gao Jie said: "Oh, it's Brother Gongzi, Gongzi, you quickly let me go, otherwise, I have three long and two short, my soldiers are angry, rush in to wash the city, when the time comes, no one can stop them." β
Hou Fangyu said: "They dare to do this, this is the capital of the imperial court. β
"The imperial court, the imperial court," Gao Jie said: "Now even a yellow-haired boy dares to detain the general soldiers, and he dares to say anything about the imperial court!" β
Hou Fangyu's face darkened for a while, but when he thought of something, he took out the letter of appointment in his hand and said, "You can take a good look, this is the letter of appointment issued by the prince today, I am the trusted governor of Fengyang, do you dare not obey the order?" β
Gao Jie said: "I only know Governor Ma, I don't know other governors, besides, how could the prince's things fall into your hands." β
Hou Fangyu said: "Naturally, my Hou family has been loyal for generations, so I can trust the orphan, otherwise, how can others be so credible?" β
Gao Jie sneered and didn't answer, at this time, the rich businessmen and prostitutes who were originally accompanying the wine had already avoided from afar, he looked left and right, and suddenly shouted: "Come over and pour wine for me, I see if anyone dares to offend me, if I have anything, the whole city will pay for my life!" β
Gao Jie is a fighting man who has experienced the Northern Shaanxi Rebellion, compared to Hou Fangyu and a few thugs, he was completely suppressed in terms of momentum, and no one dared to answer, but a prostitute walked over tremblingly and poured wine for him.
Gao Jie is still drinking and eating meat, he doesn't care, he has the military power in his hands, although he accidentally fell into the trap and strayed into the enemy's place, but the old camp is full of henchmen for many years, so he is naturally not afraid of anything.
Hou Fangyu had never seen this formation, and shouted: "Gao Jie, you dare, let me tell you, my father is waiting for inquiry, aren't you afraid of death." β
"Monkeys? I'm not afraid of Sun Wukong coming. β
Hou Fangyu shouted: "Come on, tie him up for me, and then let someone send a letter, let Gao Jie's main lieutenants and young generals come to Fengyang City, and the court will have a big event to reward." β
Gao Jie didn't care on the surface, but in fact, his heart was turning the river and the sea.
"It's bad, if this bad breed tricks my people into the city little by little, Governor Ma was not there before, and he didn't take precautions, wouldn't it be a bad thing."
Many people don't understand Mrs. Xing.
As Li Zicheng's ex-wife many years ago, Mrs. Xing's eyes were like torches, and she chose Gao Jie to split her legs in the fire and struggle within the rebel army, which is very surprising, but looking at it now, it is also a very wise move, which makes people not admire.
She was in the barracks, looking at her son, thinking that she had entered Fengyang City last night, saying that she was a husband who had something important, and she didn't have any other thoughts, how many years had passed, the old husband and wife, and she didn't care that Gao Jie occasionally slept on the weeds outside.
"You mean, my old man drank too much wine last night, and he hasn't gotten up yet? Everyone around you is drunk too? β
"Yes, madam, now the envoys from the imperial capital have invited several generals in the camp to go to the city to receive the reward, everyone has a share, and madam, you also have the reward of the lady."
As a second marriage, I could have been content and happy to be able to mix such an identity, but after hearing about these things a long time ago, Mrs. Xing felt very strange.
