Gao Jie left Jinan Fucheng in a hurry. He didn't even have time to order all the troops and horses. He took only less than a hundred servants with him and flew towards Yantou Town on Pegasus.
He is anxious!
His wife, Xing, originally stayed in Tai'an Prefecture at the southern foot of Mount Tai with his rear camp, taking care of the military supplies, supplies and family members accompanying the army. This is a very important matter. If something goes wrong, Gao Jie's 30,000 to 20,000 troops will be disbanded in a blink of an eye.
But for some reason, this girl actually ran away without saying hello!
This Lady Xing has dumped Li Zicheng! Gao Jie dares to say that he is more fierce than Li Zicheng? Moreover, in the past few years, General Gao Da has been leading his troops on expeditions here and there, and he has many concubines accompanying the army. He is somewhat indifferent to the Xing family. Maybe she has another crush, and now she has to deal with the army's belongings. They eloped...
Gao Jie, who feels that the hat on his head is turning green, can't keep his composure. Hurry up and catch the traitor in Yantou Town! I don’t know which pretty boy dared to hook up with the tall soldier’s wife without risking her life!
The anxious Gao Jie rushed to the outside of Yantou Town, and then was blocked by someone. What stopped him was a beautiful woman in red and dozens of strong men holding turtle-dove-footed fire blunderbuss (the mouth of the blunderbuss pointed upward) that were lit with match ropes.
"Is the person coming here Gao Zongrong?" The woman in red smiled and bowed on the horse, and then introduced herself, "The red lady of Jigong Mountain is polite."
"Are you a red lady?" Gao Jie looked at the woman blocking his way and was shocked. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "You, you, didn't you vote for King Chuang? Could it be that today... "
He still had half a sentence left, which was: Did the person who broke into the king set up a trap to kill him today?
What should I do?
Seeing the fire rifle soldiers standing in a row behind the red lady, Gao Jie had the urge to turn around and leave. No way before he could turn his horse around, the red lady would speak first.
"The slave family has abandoned Li Zicheng a long time ago!" Lady Hong sighed with a smile, "Li Zicheng made many mistakes after entering the capital. It is obvious that he is not the common master of the world. Naturally, the slave family and the husband of the slave family cannot continue to follow him."
"Yes, yes, yes..." Gao Jie breathed a sigh of relief, "Li Zicheng is not the right man at all, I have already seen it!"
As he spoke, he pondered: If it wasn't Li Zicheng, then who would deal with him? Also, who is seducing his wife? Couldn't it be that pretty boy named Li Yan?
Thinking of this, Gao Jie hurriedly asked: "I wonder who you are working for now, Madam Hong?"
The red lady said: "The slave family and my husband left the bandits and joined the court. Now they are working for Gao Zongrong's brother-in-law."
Gao Jie was stunned again. Who is his brother-in-law? Xing’s younger brother? I never heard that she has a younger brother!
And even if there were, how could it be possible to control heroes like Li Yan and Hong Niangzi?
At this time, the red lady made a sign of respecting guests and said: "The master of the Nu family has already set up a table in Yantou Town and is waiting for the arrival of Mr. Gao."
Gao Jie waved his hand and said anxiously: "Red Lady, stop hiding it and tell me directly. What kind of hero is your lord? What do you want to do with Gao?"
The red lady smiled and took out a token engraved with the four words "Beizhen Fusi", "The Nu family and Xianggong are now the people of the Fujun Crown Prince, and the Nu family serves as the Jin Yiwei Beizhen Fusi."
"What? It's the prince..." Gao Jie was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse. His wife is currently having a "private meeting" with the Ming prince? What should I do?
Gao Jie thought for a while, but still felt something was wrong, "Wait a minute, Lady Red, you just said you were working for your brother-in-law in this town, and the prince..."
The red lady smiled and said, "I forgot to congratulate the commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief's wife is now the goddaughter of the emperor and the princess of the Ming Dynasty. The commander-in-chief is the prince-consort of the Ming Dynasty! Prince-in-law, please come with the slave family. !”
ah? Am I the consort? Gao Jie opened his mouth so wide that he could stuff his fist into it.
...
Being a queen or a princess is the dream of many women, and Mrs. Xing is no exception, but her luck in this aspect is really better than that of most women. There was an opportunity to become a queen before her, but she gave it up in order to elope with the handsome boy Gao Jie. Now another opportunity to be a princess has arrived! And she can also get a cute little pretty boy... The princess and the pretty boy are both temptations that Lady Xing can't resist, so she hurriedly followed the red lady north to Yantou Town and plunged into Prince Zhu's house. The camp is not surprising.
When Gao Jie followed the red lady anxiously to the "black shop" in Yantou Town, before he even entered the door, he heard his wife's laughter coming out!
If it weren't for the fact that his wife had become a princess and had a younger brother who was a prince, Gao Jie would almost have called him a "bad man and woman".
"The Commander-in-Chief of the Relief and Suppression Force, Left Commander Gao Jie, respectfully invites His Royal Highness Jin An, the Prince of the Fujun Army!"
You don't dare to scold. Not only can't scold, Gao Jie also has to respectfully greet the pretty prince... If everything between his wife and Zhu Cixiang is innocent, then forget it. If there is something wrong, then... It’s so frustrating!
"Pingshen, Gao Zongrong, come and sit." Zhu Cixiang smiled and waved to Gao Jie, asking him to sit on the table that had been set. There were a few cold dishes and two pots of wine on the table. Zhu Cihong and Gao Jie's wife, Mrs. Xing, sat across from each other.
Seeing Gao Jie in a daze, Zhu Cihong asked Madam Hong again, "Madam Hong, have you told him that Madam Xing has given the country a surname and made her a princess?"
"I have already told Mr. Gao."
Zhu Cixiang smiled and said to Gao Jie: "General Gao, now I want to change my name and call you brother-in-law."
Brother-in-law? Gao Jie was really dumbfounded, but he still went up and sat behind his wife, Mrs. Xing. The red lady was holding a long sword and standing behind Zhu Cihong. Gao Jie dares to be disrespectful, the red lady's sword is very sharp!
"Sister," Zhu Cixiang said to Madam Xing with a smile, "tell your brother-in-law what I just said."
Mrs. Xing responded with a smile: "Okay." Then she smiled and said to Gao Jie, "Consort, Master Qiantose is now the younger brother of the slave family, and he is one of his own. You have to treat Master Qiantose!"
"That's natural..." Gao Jie said this, but he thought in his heart: You slut is too easy to deceive. A short-headed princess and a pretty boy have deceived you! I thought you had a plan, how confused!
Lady Xing went on to say: "Of course Mr. Qiantai will not treat his family badly... Princess Yuntai of the slave is not a virtual one, but a descendant of Tang Muyi, who was given to Yuzhou Fairy Mountain in Haizhou. And Qiantai I also want to make you the uncle of Qushan. You also have a fief, which is in Qushan County opposite Yuzhou Mountain.
In addition, Master Qiantose also wants you to be the commander-in-chief of the Xuzhou garrison, to guard Xuzhou, and to put all the lands of Haizhou, Pizhou, and Ganyu in Huai'an Prefecture into Xuzhou, giving them all under our jurisdiction. We can control it however we want! "
Hearing this, Gao Jie's brows suddenly raised, seeming a little tempted.
The Xuzhou garrison commander actually had territory, and Gao Jie's army was all private soldiers. With soldiers and territory, it was like a vassal town.
This condition is acceptable!
Zhu Cixiang smiled and accepted Madam Xing's words, "Brother-in-law, I know that you have many soldiers and generals, and your expenses are high. The tax revenue from Xuzhou is not enough, so I will give Xuzhou Town 50,000 taels of silver every month." .I don’t care how this money is spent..."
His tone became more and more solemn, and the smile on his face completely disappeared: "I only have three requests: First, those who are optimistic about you, do not let them vote for the Tatars under any circumstances!
The second is to fight with the Tatars in Huaibei to the end. Even if they retreat to the islands, they cannot retreat to the south of the Huaihe River! Because as long as you are in Huaibei, even if you go to Yuzhou Island, Dorgon will have to leave two or three thousand real Manchus in Haizhou!
The third is that we must preserve our strength, and we must not sacrifice our country lightly. We can lose territory, but we cannot annihilate our entire army.
The Tartars are coming soon! The Tatar soldiers are stronger and more numerous than ours, so it is not enough to win by force. So you must remember the truth that if you save people and lose land, everyone and land will be saved; if you save land and lose people, everyone and land will be lost! "
The expression on Gao Jie's face also changed, slowly turning from doubtful to admiration... Prince Fujun indeed had something to do!
