Chapter 430 Li Zicheng asks for help
It was mid-June, and Gao Huan had many things to do in Nanjing, but he couldn't stay.
Not long ago, after the news that the Qing army occupied Huaiqing, Weihui and Zhangde's three prefectures, and the Qing army's military front threatened Luoyang, subsequent news has been heard in Henan.
As the road to transport materials from Henan to Shanxi was cut off, the Shun Army in Shanxi had difficulties in replenishing supplies. In addition, after the Qing army occupied Huizhangde, it attacked the southeastern part of Shanxi from the Luliang Mountains, and Gaoping, Jincheng, Yangcheng and other places in Zezhou Prefecture were successively lost.
Hedong shook! Once Hedong was lost, whether it was Li Zicheng's Guanzhong or Gao Huan's Henan, they would be exposed to the Qing army's military front.
June 15th, Nanjing City.
A ferry was docked at the Dashengguan Wharf outside the city. Several soldiers urged an official to hurriedly get off the big ship, and then looked at Nanjing.
There were a group of officials in Nanjing who killed and imprisoned one group, and then another group was revived. There were still many officials in the city.
Therefore, this group of people did not attract the attention of the people, and the people near Nanjing City were still running for their own livelihoods.
However, shortly after entering the city, the streets suddenly sounded loudly and dust flew, and a team of red-armored cavalry rushed towards him.
The people on the street knew that the Red Armored Cavalry was the Red Armored Team of Duke Liang, so they quickly dodged in horror.
Although Gao Huan entered the city with strict military discipline and did not disturb the people, he killed the heroes and still left a bad reputation in Jiangnan, which made the people feel afraid.
At this time, the cavalry rushed to the pair and strangled the horses? Hao Yaoqi bowed his fists on the horse. He laughed loudly: "Military advisor! The last general came to welcome the military advisor to the Duke's mansion at the order of the Duke."
Song Xiance was running all the way? His face was very tired. He smiled with a melancholy face: "Annan Bo doesn't have to be too polite, go to the Duke's mansion first."
This time, did he make a contribution to the establishment of King Fu? In addition, the Zhongwu Army had outstanding achievements before, so Gao Huan was named Duke for his achievements? His civil officials and generals also won twenty-four earls in one breath.
Will Hao Yaoqi and others be counts? Song Xiance, Li Yan and others are also awarded the title of counts, which greatly boosts the morale of Zhongwu's army.
The two teams worked together to go to the residence of Duke Liang. Song Xiance kept Yaoqi at Hao Yaoqi along the way.
As they were talking, the group had arrived in front of the Duke of Liang's mansion, and everyone turned over and dismounted and hurried into the mansion.
At this time, Gao Huan was wearing a python robe outside the lobby and was already standing and waiting.
When Song Xiance saw Gao Huan, he quickly stepped forward and bowed and said, "How can the generals wait for the humble position!"
Gao Huan smiled and supported Song Xiance? "Haha~ The military advisor brought a large order of more than 4 million taels from Li Zicheng for the military government? This is a great achievement, and it is appropriate for this governor to welcome him!"
After a few months, Li Zicheng has purchased 4 million taels of grain and military funds from Henan to strengthen and restore the strength of the Shun Army.
In fact, after the defeat in northern Jin Dynasty, Li Zicheng wanted to place more orders, but in Henan, the production capacity was limited, and it was already the limit to eat a large order of 4 million taels.
Song Xiance smiled and said, "The profit is only more than 2 million taels. How can you get 20 million taels than the governor in Jiangnan?!"
Gao Huan smiled slightly, but he didn't expect that he had already learned about Jiangnan. He clapped Song Xiance's hand, "Haha~ Let's go in and talk!"
Now Gao Huan and others entered the flower hall, Huanghuali's tables and chairs, Wu Daozi's calligraphy and paintings of the Tang Dynasty, and porcelain ornaments from the Jingtai period, all of which were priceless.
Everyone sat in the flower hall. Song Xiance looked around and couldn't help but feel a little dazzled.
At this time, Gao Huan asked the soldiers to drink tea, then went straight to the point and asked: "Did the situation in the north worsen?"
"The governor is wise!" Song Xiance sighed, "After the Qing army occupied Zezhou Prefecture, they went north from Gaoping to take Lu'an Prefecture, threatening the south of Taiyuan. They advanced west from Yangcheng, passed Wuling Pass, and entered Yangping Prefecture, and wanted to cut off the connection between Taiyuan and Puzhou Prefecture. Now the Shun Army in Hedong is in danger of being surrounded by the Qing army."
Gao Huan's face sank and shed a breath of turbid air.
Song Xiance continued: "Not long ago, Li Zicheng asked the military government for help, hoping that we could go out to help restrain the Qing army. He did not dare to make decisions without authorization, and he felt that the situation was urgent, so he rushed to Nanjing and reported to the supervisor in person!"
Li Zicheng would actually pull down his face and ask for help from him, Gao Huan was shocked.
Now that Gao Huan's silver has just been obtained, many things have not been done in Jiangnan yet, and he has not completely controlled Jiangnan.
However, the strategic location of Hedong is very important. Once the Qing army occupy Hedong and there is no threat in the north, it will definitely go south and plunder resources with all its might.
Moreover, if the Qing army encircled the Hedong Shun Army and completely wiped out or annexed the Shun Army, Li Zicheng would be basically abolished.
In history, the Qing army recruited surrendered the Ming army and collected strategies for massacre by the peasant army. After Tian Jianxiu and other soldiers surrendered to the Qing army, they were all collectively executed by the Qing army.
Now that the Qing army lacks thugs, it may not have adopted the previous strategy.
This made Gao Huan a little restless. If Hedong fell, it would mean that Gao Huan would become the main target of the Qing army again. This was not only Li Zicheng's crisis, but also Gao Huan's crisis.
Thinking of this, Gao Huan nodded and said in a deep voice: "I understand!"
Gao Huan asked about the specific situation in Hedong again, and said to Song Xianke: "The military advisor has worked hard all the way, go and rest first. Within three days, this governor will make a decision."
Song Xiance then stood up and saluted, followed the guards to the guest room to rest. Along the way, he saw the Duke's mansion, rockery ponds, pavilions and corridors, and changed the scenery. The scenery was beyond the comparison of the Central Plains gardens.
The next day, Gao Huan was standing in the study room, looking at the map, and Yang Yan suddenly reported outside the hall: "Governor, the angel has arrived!"
Seeing that Gao Huan did not respond, Yang Yan had to say again: "Governor, Your Majesty's envoy has arrived!"
Gao Huan came back to his senses when he heard the words, but he didn't turn around, just said lightly: "I understand!"
Soon, in the lobby of the Duke's Mansion, Gao Huan led a group of subordinates to gather together.
A moment later, several eunuchs walked into the main hall and saw Gao Huan standing in the central hall. The eunuch Lu Jiude hurriedly stepped forward to take the gift and laughed, "Congratulations to the Duke of the Kingdom, congratulations to the Duke of the Kingdom!"
Lu Jiude had been a little unhappy with Gao Huan before, but he had taken care of Lao Fu and Zhu Yousong. After Zhu Yousong ascended the throne, he summoned him to his side, served him and had fun.
Gao Huan just smiled faintly, "Eunuch Lu, please announce the imperial edict!"
When Lu Jiude heard this, he quickly took the imperial edict from the little eunuch behind him, "Then the old slave will announce the imperial edict!"
Gao Huan nodded slightly, then waved his robe and knelt down. Then he heard Lu Jiude read in a sharp voice: "The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the commander of Henan, the left governor of the Right Army, the Duke of Liang, Gao Huan. He is loyal and patriotic, and has great power. He has the merits of suppressing thieves and defending the enemy, and has made a decision to make a name for the world. Who else can I do this? Now that the country is in the south, and Jiannu is willing to destroy my heart. All the court officials say that the only one who can control the enemy and protect my country is your family. Now I want to set up a major vassal in Henan, Shandong, and Huaibei to lead the military and political affairs. I hope you will resist Jiannu and help me revive great things. Don't let my wishes down! I admire this! June 16, the first year of Hongguang."
After hearing this, Gao Huan showed a cold look on his face and bowed aloud, "My decree Gao Huan, please accept the order! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
