Although Geng Zhongming already had some doubts about his true identity. Was it known to the Ming army? However, in the current situation, he had no choice. He had no way to escape and could only continue to follow, so that the Ming army would not have any doubts.
After walking for a while, he heard bursts of shouts of killing, which surprised him again. Listening to this movement, it seems like...
Before he could think clearly, he turned around and his eyes suddenly opened up. In the valley, there were soldiers of the Ming Army everywhere, training in square formations. Here at the mouth of the valley, there is a sign that reads: This is an important military camp site and no idlers are allowed to enter.
It was only then that Li Laiheng turned around and said to the two people behind him: "The Governor is at the military camp, follow me in!"
"This... is an important place for military camps. No one can enter..." Geng Zhongming said hesitantly after hearing this, "Isn't it a bit abrupt to enter like this? It's not good, right?"
That being said, he is really scared. Once he enters the military camp, he will not be able to escape even if he is the evil one from the past, right? And under normal circumstances, in my situation, I shouldn't show myself the military camp, right?
While he was thinking about it, Li Laiheng became a little impatient. He waved his hand and said, "What's the matter? The Governor has an order. You should take him to see him as soon as you arrive. I am following the order. Besides, you guys We are all our own people, why should we be outsiders?"
"Yes, sir, we will all be brothers and colleagues from now on. It will be okay." After hearing this, Chen Shaozong quickly nodded in agreement and advised Geng Zhongming.
If you are open-minded, you will naturally not think too much.
Geng Zhongming saw it and did not dare to refuse anymore, so he had to continue walking behind Li Laiheng.
With Li Laiheng leading the way, the guard at the door would naturally not stop him.
After entering, Geng Zhongming was shocked again when he took a closer look. It was a bit hard for him to imagine: Is this really the Dongjiang Army? Or is this really the Ming army?
Every soldier is energetic and training hard, and there is absolutely no slacking off. And it can be seen that they usually eat well. Although they are sweating profusely, every movement is very powerful, as if they are really fighting on the battlefield. Along with the movement, there were loud shouts of "kill" in unison, which was also a loud sound.
To be honest, in the past year, due to food shortages, even the elite of the Qing army no longer trained every day. Even in training, there is no such training enthusiasm among the Ming army.
In a daze, Geng Zhongming suddenly realized that the Ming troops in front of him were the elites of the Qing Dynasty in the past, and the elites of the Qing Dynasty today were the Ming troops in the past. Although it is a bit exaggerated to say so, the meaning is almost the same! Could it be...that the Qing army had really declined and that it was time for the Ming army to rise again?
He clearly remembered that on the Laide ship, the Dongjiang Army's Xiaoqi had said that the Dongjiang Army as it was now was only ranked second among the Ming Army; the three major forces under the Yuma Supervisor The battalion is more elite than this. What's more, the Beijing camp is now being reorganized.
While they were thinking about it, they suddenly heard Li Laiheng say to them: "We're here, just wait, I'll report it to the Governor!"
Hearing the sound, Geng Zhongming came back to his senses and looked up. In front of this bright general, there was an open space where rows of sweaty soldiers stood. In front of them, there was a tall man wearing armor and holding a long spear. He was giving a demonstration. Every time he made a move, he could feel the infinite strength.
"This..." Geng Zhongming was a little dumbfounded and thought to himself, "Could this be Governor Lu of Baoding, Ming Dynasty? Impossible, right?"
To say that he was an ordinary general leading troops, Thaksin believed. If it was the general guarding one side, he wouldn't believe it. Even Marshal Mao did not end up personally. If this was a high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty, a governor with a Jinshi background, would he end up like this to set an example regardless of his status?
Although he had heard before that Lu Xiangsheng loved soldiers as much as his sons, he thought they were more words of praise and flattery. Literati, who is not good at this! However, there is one alive in front of us now.
At this moment, Geng Zhongming's old world view seemed to be a bit broken.
Li Laiheng walked to the sidelines. After Lu Xiangsheng finished his demonstration, he stepped forward and clasped his fists to report: "Sir, we are here!"
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he turned around and saw two people who were not dressed as soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. The one I knew, Chen Shaozong, was still behind the other one. Needless to say, that person should be Geng Zhongming.
Knowing the situation, he nodded, turned around and threw the pistol to Gao Yigong who was standing next to him, and at the same time ordered him: "It's almost time, let's start dinner!"
While speaking, he took the towel handed by his guard, wiped his sweat, and walked over to Geng Zhongming.
When Chen Shaozong saw it, he quickly pulled Geng Zhongming's back corner.
Geng Zhongming understood, immediately knelt down on one knee, clasped his hands in fists and saluted: "Sinner Geng Zhongming, pay your respects to the Governor!"
Needless to say, Chen Shaozong also knelt down.
Lu Xiangsheng walked closer, laughed, stretched out his hand to help Geng Zhongming up, patted his shoulder and said: "It's okay to be a sinner but not a sinner. Just come back. This time, it's up to you to deal with the prisoner severely!" "
Hearing this, Geng Zhongming breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Ming army did not know his details. In fact, no matter how powerful the Jin Yiwei spy is, can he still detect such secret information?
As soon as he let go of his heart, Geng Zhongming suddenly felt that the familiar military uniforms and everything familiar in front of him made him feel like he was home. The Governor was as friendly as Marshal Mao before!
Thinking of this, he was stunned again. However, he immediately came back to his senses, and just when he was about to respond to the Governor, Lu Xiangsheng wanted to speak again: "It happens to be meal time in the army, so let's go over and have a meal together. We are all in the army, and from now on we are our own family, so we should Wouldn’t you mind?”
"Ah..." Geng Zhongming was surprised again, "I don't mind, I don't mind, no, no, no, it's a great honor, a great honor!"
When he finished speaking, Lu Xiangsheng had already turned around and took the first step. After all, where is his identity, he has not reached the point where he wants to accompany Geng Zhongming.
Geng Zhongming followed obediently, watching Lu Xiangsheng explain some details about military training to the Ming army generals around him.
He didn't dare to follow too closely, so he didn't hear clearly. But it can be seen that the generals of the Ming army nodded repeatedly. Then, he took a look around and found that even if the Ming army soldiers were disbanded, they were very disciplined and left the field one by one.
When he arrived at the eating place, he saw that there was no difference between officers and soldiers in terms of eating. The food isn't that good either, but it's enough to fill you up. The most eye-opening thing for him was that the Governor was indeed as legendary, and he really ate the same food as ordinary soldiers!
Seeing it with his own eyes, Geng Zhongming was shocked again. At this moment, he finally understood why the Dongjiang Army was so powerful. It could almost defeat the elite Yue Tuo troops, and it also took the initiative to attack in a field state.
As the saying goes, if a soldier is raging, a general will be raging; on the contrary, isn't it the best portrayal of the Ming army today?
With a governor like Lu Xiangsheng in charge of the Dongjiang Army, and their weapons and armor, food and grass supplies, etc., they obviously have strong support from the court. Under such circumstances, although the Dongjiang Army was damaged in the Battle of Pyongyang, it is now I'm afraid it's hard to say, maybe it will be even stronger than before the battle of Pyongyang! Coupled with the Ming Dynasty's most powerful army and the Beijing camp that is about to become a powerful army...
Seeing all this with his own eyes and thinking about these things, Geng Zhongming was a little lost. Therefore, he came to the conclusion that the Qing Dynasty would definitely not be able to defeat the Ming Dynasty if it continued like this!
If the Qing Dynasty is destined to perish, then what is the point of being a king with a different surname? Otherwise, if I take advantage of this opportunity and simply fake it, will I really have to abandon the darkness and turn to the light and return to the Ming Dynasty?
After this idea emerged from Geng Zhongming's heart, it was like a leek that couldn't be cut no matter how hard it was cut!
If he was alone, he wouldn't be so entangled. However, now he is not alone. When he thinks about this thought, his son's figure will appear in front of him, and Geng Jimao's words and deeds also flash in his mind one by one.
A son is better than his father, and Geng Zhongming knew that it would be impossible for his son to agree to his fake act. In his son's heart, Qing Dynasty is invincible, and Huang Taiji is wise and powerful. The Ming Dynasty has decayed, and no matter what happens, it will be short-lived, and it is impossible to have much power to fight back...
Anyway, in the eyes of his son, all shit from the Qing Dynasty is delicious, and everything good from the Ming Dynasty is fake!
Thinking of this, Geng Zhongming had a headache so much that he didn't know when and how he would follow Governor Lu back to the Governor's Mansion.
It was Chen Shaozong who pulled his sleeves behind him that brought him back to his senses. Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng seemed to have finished his question and was waiting for his answer, he broke out in sweat and quickly knelt down. He apologized: "The villain thought of the Dongjiang Army in the past, and his mind was in a trance. He was rude in front of the adults. I still ask the Governor to punish me!"
Lu Xiangsheng looked at him and thought: It seems that the military power displayed on the island must have scared him!
That's right, although it happened that Geng Zhongming went to the military camp to see it this time, even if he hadn't, Lu Xiangsheng would have found an excuse to let him see the strength of the Dongjiang Army. Just to let Geng Zhongming know how powerful the Dongjiang Army is now. After this traitor returns, he will definitely report all the circumstances to the slave chief Huang Taiji. In this way, Huang Taiji can pay more attention to it and strengthen Huang Taiji's determination to destroy the Dongjiang Army.
Of course, Lu Xiangsheng would not say anything about this. The trick was to put on a show first, so that the traitorous general would think that they still knew nothing about what he and Huang Taiji were planning.
At this time, hearing Geng Zhongming's seemingly reasonable explanation, Lu Xiangsheng said with emotion: "Yes, the Dongjiang Army in the past was still a pity. There were many traitors in the court at that time, and the emperor was like the ancient King of Chuzhuang, who was still dormant. , there’s nothing we can do about it.”
Speaking of this, he suddenly became a little excited and said: "If you don't make a sound, you will be a blockbuster. Compared with the King of Chuzhuang, the emperor is many times more powerful. Not only has the treachery in the court been wiped out, but he has even been on the road several times. He personally conquered, personally quelled the rebellion of thieves, the Mongolian border disturbances, and annihilated two elite rebel groups with one strike. At least I admire the emperor's courage, at the level of Dorgon and Azig. Those who were rebellious could be put back as soon as they were told, why? Because the emperor was so confident that he could capture them alive when he turned around..."
Listening to Lu Xiangsheng talking there, Geng Zhongming could clearly feel that Lu Xiangsheng admired Emperor Chongzhen very much. This kind of admiration is definitely not admiration for the emperor, but the kind of admiration for capable people!
When Geng Zhongming himself was still with the Ming Dynasty, he did not feel how powerful Emperor Chongzhen was. Therefore, even though there were rumors about how powerful the Ming Emperor was, he just smiled and did not believe it all.
However, now I have heard a lot of shocks from the Ming Dynasty along the way, including some things about the Ming Emperor. At this time, I heard a very authoritative person talking about how powerful Emperor Chongzhen was, and he immediately listened. Into my heart.
Lu Xiangsheng's statement can also explain why Emperor Chongzhen was not powerful before. It was because after he ascended the throne, there were too many treacherous acts in the court, so he lay dormant, accumulated strength and suddenly exploded, and suddenly became a blockbuster.
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was so powerful, so Jianlu would definitely not have a good outcome! Reaching this conclusion again, Geng Zhongming even felt a little short-sighted: even Jianlu like Dorgon could only be at the mercy of the Ming Emperor. This actually shows how powerful the Ming Emperor was!
If the Ming Dynasty was just a powerful governor, it might not be a big deal. However, if the Ming emperors were all very powerful figures, then there is absolutely no doubt about the power of the Ming Dynasty!
At this moment, Geng Zhongming immediately made a decision in his heart: he must fake it and make it real. As for the unfilial son, if he dares to object, he will be tied up. Later, when he sees the destruction of the Qing Dynasty, he will understand that he was wrong!
After making this decision, Geng Zhongming suddenly felt very relaxed. He listened attentively to Lu Xiangsheng's talk about the power of Emperor Chongzhen, and he felt sincerely admired and proud from time to time.
In this way, Lu Xiangsheng, who had been observing him secretly, was confused. Why did he feel that the traitor general acted so well, as if he really had to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side!
Later, Lu Xiangsheng began to ask Geng Zhongming about specific things. In several places, he had set traps to try out the traitorous general. Judging from Geng Zhongming's feedback, it was really done from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty. reply.
At this time, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but pay attention. The depth of this rebel general's city is truly rare. Fortunately, the emperor confessed it secretly, otherwise, he would have been deceived without even knowing it.
Two days later, after discussing the details, Geng Zhongming said goodbye to Lu Xiangsheng and hurriedly left Guanglu Island. After all, no matter which way he looked, he couldn't leave Phoenix Castle for too long.
Some strange things happened without anyone expecting them.
