Fu Youde is not a arrogant character just because of his strength. He also respects Zhang Lin, a general of the Huai Army.
Especially when the other party gave him the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
If he just defected to the Huai army alone, even if he got the attention of King Huai, he would have to wait for the opportunity to lead troops, but now he has the merit of seizing the city and killing the generals.
As long as he joins the Huai Army, he will be rewarded for his merits and become a lieutenant general in the army.
"Hahaha, Brother Fu will join the king in the future, and we will be a family. Now that Jinhu City has just been captured, I still have to stay in the city and cannot go to the Laozi Mountain Camp with Brother Fu. Brother Fu, don't be offended!"
Both of them wanted to make friends, and they talked happily.
After talking for a while, Zhang Lin called the generals around him and asked him to accompany Fu Youde and others to board the speedboat and follow the river to the Laozi Mountain camp to report the victory.
Two or three hours later.
When the clipper arrived at the Laozi Mountain Camp, it was just noon. The sun shone on the lake, creating ripples of light. A large number of civilians, under the command of the craftsmen, began to build a city nearby.
On a flat wilderness outside the camp, groups of soldiers were arrayed, constantly changing their formations.
The soldiers and horses of the Huai Army, especially the elite ones commanded by Wang Jing himself, had to drill every day when they were not on a war mission.
After all, the Huai Army did not form an army for a long time, and it cannot be compared with those forces with profound foundations.
Only constant training is like iron being tempered in a furnace fire, constantly tempering out impurities and turning it into refined steel.
on board.
Fu Youde and several companions stood on the deck and saw the outline of the Laozi Mountain Camp from a distance. After the two military towns of Huyang and Hengyang were captured, most of the Jinhu waterway was opened.
Many ships sailed on the river, many of which transported grain, grass and equipment to the military towns in the east.
Fugongyou was good at managing internal affairs. When he was occupying Jinhu, he managed the territory fairly well. His shortcoming was that he was too ambitious and could not satisfy his desires.
And he did not have a clear understanding of his own abilities. Even after knowing his own fate in the source world, he did not give up his ambition to compete for hegemony.
He hoarded large amounts of food in several cities to prepare for the expansion of his power.
The people under his rule could only barely survive because all their food and grass had been taken away, and they did not have much favorable impressions of Fu Gongyou.
The Huai army's occupation of Jinhu brought a lot of vitality to these people.
Many of the people who built the city in the Laozi Mountain camp were young men from Hengyang and Huyang.
As long as the Huai army was in charge of the food, they would be willing to work as civilian husbands.
After seeing the situation at Laozi Mountain Camp.
Fu Youde's eyes were slightly dazed, as if he was thinking of his previous memories, but he quickly flashed a sharp look and stopped recalling the memories in his mind.
"King Huai's troops and horses are so powerful!"
Several of Fu Youde's companions sighed after seeing the sight of the army practicing and the cavalry galloping in the distance.
Most of them were from the early Ming Dynasty, and they were very powerful. They usually helped Fu Youde, acted as personal guards, and gathered information, and they were all very familiar with it.
Under the influence of Fu Youde, they are no longer ordinary people and have some views on the art of war and the army.
In their eyes, the eliteness of the Huai army was second to none among the many princes in the Jianghuai area.
Fu Youde did not speak, but kept looking at both sides of the Taiwan Strait with his eyes.
After a while.
Quick Chuan docked at the dock outside Laozishan Camp. Since the flag of the Huai Army was hoisted on the ship, only two soldiers came to inquire.
After knowing that they were envoys coming to win, they were immediately released.
"I wonder what kind of charisma this King Huai has that can make Mr. Wang, Lu Zhongheng, and Fei Ju come to serve him!" Gu Shou
Fu Youde's thoughts floated in his mind.
He was originally active in the Jianghuai generation, and the troops he brought with him when he came were all Ming soldiers... The time when he came was exactly when he followed Zhu Yuanzhang to attack Huaidong.
Although he has not yet fully demonstrated his abilities, he has become one of the few generals in the Ming army with his superb bravery.
However, after arriving, he learned about his future from some scholars.
He simply gave up his troops and disappeared from the military camp alone.
After knowing his miserable fate in the future, Fu Youde would not be able to serve for the Ming Dynasty no matter how optimistic he was about Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming army.
Even if he is willing to compromise, the Ming army no longer dares to believe in his loyalty...
He traveled around Jianghuai for many days. He went to Yangzhou, Taizhou, Gaoyou and other places to personally observe the situation of the Sui army and other forces.
However, after Fu Youde observed people who had failed in history, such as Yang Guang, Yu Wenji, and Zhang Shicheng, he found that they had changed, but they still could not achieve great things.
When he was about to continue heading north, he heard the news that Wang Guangyang had defected to King Huai.
After hearing this news.
Fu Youde became curious about the Huai army. After asking about King Huai's situation, he found that King Huai, whose name he had never heard before, governed the government and brought peace to the people, swept all directions, and was quite a wise king.
So I thought of defecting.
Now it seems that he did not vote for the wrong person.
While chatting with Zhang Lin's generals on the ship, he also discovered the names of Fei Ju and Lu Zhongheng.
In the order of meritorious officials awarded for the founding of the Ming Dynasty in the early Ming Dynasty, Fei Ju and Lu Zhongheng were still ranked above him. Later, the fate of the two of them was similar to his.
Being able to have people like Fei Ju, Lu Zhongheng and Wang Guangyang defect to him shows that King Huai is definitely not the kind of person who can only share adversities but not wealth.
When Fu Youde and others went to the camp.
The good news about Jinhu and the situation of several people have been sent to Wang Jinghe's center.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for your conferment on the head of Duke Fu. The Golden Lake has descended, and there are still fierce generals to surrender. I'm so happy!"
Bu Zhao congratulated him repeatedly.
Han Xizai, Xu Xuan and others also looked happy and echoed.
Wang Jing couldn't help laughing after reading the message sent to him.
"It is indeed a great joy! But this joy is not because of the victory over Jinhu and the killing of Fu Gongyou, but because of the surrender of General Fu Youde!"
He was in a very good mood.
There's even a sense of surprise.
Who is Fu Youde? He is among the heroes who founded the Ming Dynasty, and his ability to command troops and personal force ranks among the top three generals!
It's just that because of his seniority and experience before joining the Ming army, he didn't show much extraordinary ability before the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Even so, when the meritorious officials were rewarded, they were awarded the title of marquis based on their merits.
Shandong, Central Plains, Ganliang, Sichuan, Yungui, Desert...
In the process of pacifying the world, he was either a deputy general or a chief general, with outstanding achievements.
Zhu Yuanzhang even said personally that Fu Youde ranked first in terms of general merit.
History books also clearly record that among the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, Fu Youde was second only to Chang Yuchun in terms of bravery, and second only to Xu Da in commanding the army. It was also said that his merits exceeded Lan Yu, but he was not as trusted as Lan Yu...
"Fu Youde, a famous general, I want to go and greet him personally!"
Wang Jing suppressed his excitement and asked his entourage to find out that he was on his way to the camp. He immediately stood up and prepared to greet him in person!
