Weiyuanmen.
The first moment of Yin hour.
While everything was still sleeping in the darkness, groups of soldiers filed out of the north gate of Shanhaiguan Pass.
There were no torches and no noise, just the sound of neat and heavy footsteps.
Gaudi, who was sitting on his horse, looked at this army that was moving quickly and uniformly. Thinking of their previous lack of discipline, he felt a little dazed for a moment.
Then he subconsciously glanced at the cavalry standing quietly on both sides of the city gate. Although the armor of those cavalry was damaged, the dazzling blood red on the armor made him dare not look directly.
Vaguely, the bloody scene appeared in front of him again.
It turned out that when Gao Di was ordered to order troops, he passed the general order three times, but only 3,000 of the 20,000 people who were supposed to arrive actually arrived.
Later, despite repeated urging, only more than a thousand people came.
Just when he was distressed, he suddenly saw hundreds of soldiers running towards him in a hurry, and then he saw the burly figure of Wang Shoulin.
Also coming with Wang Shoulin were three hundred cavalry.
After seeing Wang Shoulin and others, the running soldiers moved faster.
After a while, 15,000 people appeared on the campus in strict discipline.
After Wang Shoulin met Gao Di, he passed the twenty bloody heads to the three armies.
When all the soldiers saw those heads, most of them looked panicked, but no one spoke a word, but they were more respectful.
Because among the twenty heads, there were seventeen hundred families and three thousand families, all of whom were usually respectable people, but now they were killed for ignoring Gaudi's military orders.
Of course, some of them wanted to resist.
But before they could pull out their knives, their heads flew up.
In fact, this is not too miserable. The worst thing is a thousand households that resist the law.
Relying on some connections, those thousand households gathered a crowd to resist and killed two law enforcement officers.
When Wang Shoulin learned about this, he was furious. He not only beheaded all the people involved in the incident, but also skinned and stuffed the heads of the thousands of households, which made everyone's faces turn pale with fear.
After this incident, all the soldiers realized that this law enforcement team was different from before, so they hurried over.
Gao Di heard Wang Shoulin's story. Although he was a little panicked, he felt a sense of pride out of thin air.
So when Wang Shoulin invited him to the stage to order troops, he walked up with high spirits.
But after he finished ordering his troops, he felt a little regretful when he faced the six or seven generals who were eating empty pay.
Because the power behind these people is quite large, if he disposes of them today, he may be dead and missing tomorrow.
Just when he was hesitating, he suddenly saw Wang Shoulin carrying several boxes of silver.
Gaudi's heart skipped a beat when he saw those familiar boxes.
Wang Shoulin glanced at him, then walked up to the high platform, distributed money, and encouraged the soldiers.
After the soldiers received the money, their previous panic immediately subsided, and they shouted thanks with joy on their faces.
At this time, Wang Shoulin brought up the old matter again, announced in public that those people were guilty of corruption, and sent people to arrest them.
Those people were always arrogant. They not only knocked down the soldiers, but also moved out of the backstage to threaten Wang Shoulin.
And their dog legs also tried their best to incite everyone to resist the law.
However, because they were usually domineering and unpopular, and the soldiers had just received money, not many people supported them.
However, although the soldiers did not agree or help Wang Shoulin, the seven or eight hundred people gathered around those few people became extremely arrogant.
When many soldiers saw this, although they showed dissatisfaction, they did not speak out and just stayed away from them silently.
Some soldiers even moved closer to them when they saw Wang Shoulin was silent.
When those few people saw this, they became even more arrogant, as if they were the military commanders.
Just when the situation was getting a little out of control, a commotion suddenly broke out among the more than a thousand people, and then Zhang Dabiao and others were seen carrying the heads of those people and killing them.
At the same time, Jiang Yingkui also appeared on the school grounds with two thousand cavalry, suppressing those who tried to resist...
Gao Di shook his head vigorously, as if trying to shake off those bad feelings, but suddenly he heard Wang Shoulin's voice: "General Gao, let's go?"
Hearing this, Gao Di looked at Wang Shoulin in surprise and said, "Sir Wang, are you coming out of seclusion too?"
Wang Shoulin said in a deep voice: "In the past few decades, the Jurchens have harmed countless people in our Ming Dynasty. The general has always wanted to eat their flesh and sleep on their skin. If you have this opportunity today, how can you miss it!"
"But the general is about to enter the battlefield for the first time, so I would like to ask Commander-in-Chief Gao to give you some guidance..."
After being polite to him, Gaudi respectfully asked him to go ahead.
Wang Shoulin wanted to refuse, but after thinking of Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, he no longer gave in and immediately rode out of the city.
After he left the city, he looked back at the city and then galloped forward.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was on the city wall, looked at Wang Shoulin's retreating back and felt a little sad for a moment.
Wang Fuzhi on the side saw that Wang Shoulin, who was supposed to be lurking outside the customs, went out with Gao Di on the expedition. He was a little surprised and said: "Your Majesty, why did Mr. Wang get out of the customs?"
Zhu Yuanzhang heard this and said in a deep voice: "Wang Shoulin felt that Gao Di's soldiers and horses were too cowardly, and he was afraid that he would not be able to block Duduo's attack, so he took the initiative to invite Ying to fight..."
After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's narration, Wang Fuzhi suddenly felt a sense of solemnity and solemnity in his heart, and looked at Wang Shoulin's back with full respect.
He forcibly suppressed the passion in his heart, remained silent for a while, and then bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to come out of seclusion and capture Duduo for Mr. Wang!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Wang Huzhi, shook his head and said: "We just got the news that Gong Yonggu failed to pretend to surrender and was beheaded by Liu Zongmin."
"After An Guogong learned about this, he vomited blood and fainted several times. He was no longer able to command the troops..."
Wang Euzhi heard this and exclaimed: "Ping..."
As soon as he spoke, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang frowning slightly. He immediately remembered that Gong Yonggu was deprived of his title, and hurriedly changed his words: "Gong Yonggu is dead, and the rebels will definitely take advantage of the situation to counterattack."
"Zuo Liangyu has always been afraid of the rebels and will not fight to the death with them. And Huang Degong has divided his troops to Baoding, so he may not be able to hold the fortress."
"If the rebels abandon Datong and ignore it, they can reach the capital in a month at most. Once word of this spreads, the capital will be panicked, and the Jurchens will take advantage of the situation to attack fiercely."
"Although Duduo has arrived, fortunately Dorgon's army has not yet arrived. We might as well let Mr. Wang select elite men and rush to the capital at starry night to attack the Jurchens from behind. This may stabilize the situation."
"Otherwise, if Lords Shen and Li cannot repel the Jurchens in time, they will be attacked from both sides, and the consequences will be disastrous."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "Although Gong Yonggu has a good reputation, he is not an incompetent person. He may not really be killed by Liu Zongmin."
"Furthermore, Dorgon has always acted cautiously. It is impossible for Duduo to have arrived but not him. We suspect that his army has already arrived, and he did not launch an offensive just because he wanted to catch Wu Sangui, Gao Di and others."
"If we ask Wang Shoulin to come back for reinforcements now, he will definitely launch a thunderous strike, and we will probably collapse by then."
Wang Euzhi heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said and felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was reasonable. However, thinking that Liu Wenbing was ill, he was a little worried and said: "But without Anguo Gong commanding the troops, even if Duoduo fell into the trap, it would be difficult to annihilate him. What's the point of doing so?" …”
As he said this, he suddenly realized something in his heart, and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise.
Some people died, but not completely...
