Chapter 735: Take a gamble
The Han army and the Goryeo soldiers in Seoul rebelled against the slave rebellion, which made the "Red Banner Army" take the city bloodlessly and inspired the Huang Han.
It is known that under the high-pressure policy of Jiannu and the deterrence of the "Red Banner Army", the Han army and the Goryeo soldiers are disheartened, and of course they must be used to the extreme.
Since they did not think of encircling and annihilating all the Qing troops from the beginning, when the Qing defense line in Seoul was crushed, many of the Qing troops on the periphery must have fled in the direction of Kaesong and Pyongyang, and these people would definitely spread the prestige of the "Red Banner Army" to the ears of the Pyongyang defenders.
It's not enough for these people to go back and spread the gossip, they have to step up their propaganda.
Huang Han heard that Liu Zai'er had an order to find hundreds of defective Han and Goryeo soldiers, and let these people flee back to Pyongyang in the name of being defeated by the "Red Banner Army".
As for whether these Qing troops, who may not be able to be trusted, chose to die for Jiannu after returning to Pyongyang, Huang Han didn't care at all.
Huang Han believed that there were hundreds of more mouths to publicize everything that happened in Seoul, and just Geng Zhongming's defection and killing of 4,000 Manchu and Mongolian cavalry would make all the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry in the Pyongyang defense line suspicious of the 30,000 or 40,000 Han troops and Goryeo servant troops commanded by Kong Youde.
Jiang Xin, who is good at saving his life and choosing the time to surrender, is unfortunate, and he was once again named and released by the general of the conquest.
When Liu Zaiqi sent someone to find Jiang Xin, who had drunk a little wine and slept well, and told him that he needed to continue to return to Jiannu's side to make everything that happened in Seoul public, and strive for more Han troops and Goryeo soldiers to surrender, Jiang Xin suddenly cried and grabbed the ground.
It was obvious that this kid didn't dare to go back and take risks, and Liu Zaiqi earnestly induced:
"Lord Jiang, aren't you thinking about your future? You just surrendered, not defected, and you have not achieved an inch, and it may not be easy to keep your official position.
It is also limited to get real money as a reward, and in the end you can only participate in the reclamation as a common person, will you farm? ”
This question is very realistic, and it is related to how to live the rest of your life?
Jiang Xin held back his tears and asked, "Lord Liu, is it true that the general of the conquest has named and wants to lead hundreds of people to flee to Pyongyang to see the opportunity?" ”
Liu Zaiqi said happily: "Yes, before you leave, the official can take you to ask to see the general of the conquest, whether the official is telling you will naturally understand." ”
Jiang Xin was puzzled: "If the lower official does not disgrace his mission and comes back alive, can he really get an official position?" ”
"Haha, you can ask in person when you see the general of the conquest."
Jiang Xin thought about it, Kong Youde is an old general of Dongjiang Town, and he has a general relationship with himself, but now he still has a huge disparity in status, and he can't climb even higher.
However, there were many generals on the Pyongyang defense line who were captured at that time and chose to surrender to Jiannu, such as the first lieutenant general Zhang Hongmo, the third lieutenant general Yang Huazheng, and the general Duan Xueli.
These people usually have a close relationship with themselves, and they have formed a small group, which is part of more than 100 generals who surrendered to Jiannu in the four years of Chongzhen's Zhang Chun's aid to Liao.
Jiang Xin has already seen how powerful the "Red Flag Army" is, even a young soldier with a young face can write and understand the art of war, how easy is it to get an official and a half-job in this group?
If you don't get an official position without the credit you can get, will you spend the rest of your life digging in the soil of North Korea?
After thinking about it, Jiang Xin gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble.
He said: "Lord Liu, Xia Guan is willing to lead people to return to Jiannu's side to fight against more Han and Goryeo soldiers, and I ask you to take Xia Guan to listen to the general of the conquest to teach him face-to-face." ”
That night, Jiang Xin saw the kind and pleasant Huang Han, this soft bone knelt down and kowtowed, and then crawled all the way to Huang Han's feet.
He was very brazen and shouted: "Weichen knocks on Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!" ”
Fortunately, in the meeting hall of the temporary residence of the former Huaishun Wang Xingyuan, there are only Song Pengfei, Gao Youmou, Zheng Xiaowen, Huang Ang, Liu Zaiqi and other absolute henchmen in the meeting hall of the temporary residence of the general who was captured.
Sun Chuanting, who couldn't be idle, went out of the city with a general flag guard battalion and didn't know where to look at the terrain.
Huang Han saw that Jiang Xin was so faceless, and instead used his heart to take him in to do things.
The governance of a big country cannot be dedicated to righteous people and gentlemen, and some shameless villains must be used, often villains do not care about the attitude of the people in the world, and are only willing to flatter their masters.
Officials who engage in propaganda can't choose a moral gentleman, otherwise they are willing to talk nonsense with their eyes open?
I think that Liu Zaiqi, a villain who was extremely afraid of death, lived up to his mission and always achieved the same level as the commander of the propaganda team of the first battalion commander.
Now Liu Zaiqi has never been uncompromising in carrying out Huang Han's orders, and today Liu Zaiqi heard Jiang Xin shout Long live Your Majesty when he saw the head of the family, and his face showed an extremely happy look.
However, Gao Youmou, Zheng Xiaowen and even Song Pengfei didn't react when they heard Jiang Xin's title, and they grew their mouths in shock, which shows that they have not yet realized that they are about to become Jackie Chan's ministers at this time.
Huang Han pretended to be angry and said: "Jiang Xinxiu is talking nonsense, Jiannu's carving insect skills are well known, isn't it in the hands of the chief of the slave that you are doing like this." ”
Jiang Xin flattered: "Your Majesty, Weichen knows the content of the slave chief's holy decree, and knows that if Your Majesty is willing to accept the conditions of the slave chief, the slave chief will immediately go to the emperor to proclaim himself to Your Majesty, and help Your Majesty take the Ming Dynasty and ascend the throne as the emperor......"
Huang Han interrupted Jiang Xin's flattery and said: "Okay, okay, don't talk about these meaningless topics, remember, don't trespass in the future, let's talk about it, what is the purpose of your request to see Benjue?" ”
Jiang Xin kowtowed again, and said: "General, I am willing to go to Pyongyang again to contact the Han army and the Goryeo soldiers. ”
Huang Han looked at Jiang Xin, then at Liu Zaiqi, and promised: "If you return from meritorious service, this lord will give you the actual treatment of being the deputy of Lord Liu, and from now on participate in propaganda and rebellion work." ”
In the past few days, Jiang Xin has inquired about the treatment of the "Red Flag Army", and knows that there are many former Ming staff generals and deputy generals who have served as a thousand generals in the "Red Flag Army".
The next day, Jiang Xin and Liu Zaiqi selected five or six hundred people and unified the caliber, including Lu Yuanhua, who was injured, and Xie Hu, Jiang Xin's old subordinate, and Dou Kuai, who played well with Bird Gong......
Ordinary soldiers who choose to go back to participate in the rebellion can be treated as trainees of the "Red Banner Army" after they return, and as long as they pass the examination, they will immediately become regulars.
The same is true for officers, but the selection of officers in the "Red Banner Army" is becoming more and more strict, and without a strong cultural foundation, it may be difficult to pass the test.
