The Jinyiwei has been closely watching the situation in Huguang. The news of Zuo Liangyu's uprising was quickly passed back to the court. At this time, the training of new soldiers summoned by the Yulin Guard has only been carried out for fifteen days. Zuo Liangyu is known as a million-dollar army, which is spreading over 200 miles on the Yangtze River, and is overwhelmingly rushing around the road. It is completely unstoppable. According to Zuo Liangyu's marching speed, the army can reach Nanjing in more than ten days.

Upon hearing this news, Ma Shiying, Wang Duo and others were all confused. One million troops were. Although this number was a bit exaggerated, there were still 200,000 to 300,000. What should the court use to block it?

Wang Fu sat quietly on the chair, tapping his fingers gently on the table. Feng Kezong stood aside with his hands down, and he didn't dare to show up.

The Jinyiwei brought not only the news that Zuo Liangyu had raised an army, but also the news that Wuchang City had almost become a dead city. Wang Fu couldn't believe that these were the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. They were no worse than the cruelty of the Tartars. No wonder the Qing Dynasty could sweep the south like a dead end. If it weren't for the shaving order, I'm afraid that the south would not have had the resistance that lasted for more than ten years. But it was the shaving order that almost killed all the bloody Han people, which led to the rule of the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years.

"Zuo Liangyu, I swear to kill him." If Wang Fu had the idea of ​​leaving if he could not beat him, he would leave when he heard that Wuchang had become a dead city. He could not imagine that if Nanjing fell into Zuo Liangyu's hands, would there be a Nanjing massacre in the late Ming Dynasty? Although the possibility is very small, who knew whether Zuo Liangyu would be so crazy, and the morale of the people in Jiangnan would disappear and be exhausted.

"Let Gao Jie come to see me."

"Yes, I am following the order." Feng Kezong breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor's majesty was getting heavier day by day. Just standing in the emperor's ears, Feng Kezong felt breathless.

Gao Jie has been living a bad life these days, and the emperor did not lock him up in prison, but let him live in his mansion. However, he was completely separated from his former personal soldiers and had no restrictions on his diet. What Gao Jie wanted to eat was bought by someone as long as he ordered it. It was definitely an imperial chef dish, which was more exquisite than what he had eaten before. It was just a little bit that he could not meet anyone. Of course, the people arranged by the emperor were exceptional and could not leave his mansion.

"I am here to see the emperor, long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

Gao Jie has a strong figure, a clear horn on his face, neither fat nor thin. Even if he kneels on the ground, he still has a charming style. Compared with the big and rough men in the army, he is considered a handsome man. No wonder he could seduce Li Zicheng's concubine to elope.

A smile appeared on Wang Fu's face: "Aiqing Gao, you have been wronged these days."

"Go back to the emperor, I dare not." Gao Jie replied angrily.

He didn't dare, not, but Wang Fu heard Gao Jie's surprise. Gao Jie was really unruly. No wonder he couldn't stay under Li Zicheng's tent. Even if he didn't seduce Li Zicheng's concubine, the two of them would eventually part ways.

Wang Fu put away his smile: "Gao Jie, do you know your guilt?"

Gao Jie was slightly surprised when he heard the emperor's words. He was not a fool. Although the emperor had been imprisoned for nearly a month, he had no difficulty in food and clothing, and had no intention of killing him. He knew his value and thought the emperor would comfort him with tender words, but he didn't expect it to become * at once.

"I came to obey the emperor's edict, I don't know what the crime is?"

"Hmph, indulge military discipline, allow subordinates to loot the people, poison the local area, and unauthorized troops to attack Yangzhou, and do not listen to the court's dispatch... Which one is your death sentence, you, Gao Jie, is a death sentence."

Gao Jie was sweating profusely when he was imprisoned. When he was imprisoned, he was indeed full of resentment. If the emperor was willing to see him at that time, he would probably be able to resist the emperor. After more than twenty days of detention, Gao Jie's mentality also changed slightly. He was no longer so resistant to the arrest of his own. Although he was born into a bandit, the traditional idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor for thousands of years would not have no effect on him at all. The reason why he did not take the emperor seriously before was because he held heavy troops and believed that the emperor did not dare to deal with him. Now that he was imprisoned, Gao Jie rediscovered that if the emperor really wanted to deal with him, sometimes the army might not be completely reliable.

"I am guilty, please forgive me."

"Hmph, if I hadn't watched you bravely in war, Yu Guo would have made great contributions, I had already ordered you to be killed. Can I kill Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing? Could it be that I could not kill you?"

Gao Jie didn't dare to say anything. Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing died in front of him. I'm afraid that the emperor would kill them until his death. He dared to kill them.

"Get up. Since I have summoned you here, I don't plan to pursue your previous crimes. I promise you to make meritorious service and follow you to the army."

"Accompanying the army?" Gao Jie was extremely shocked.

"Yes, I'll go down and prepare for it in person. I'll swear to set off in two days."

"I wonder who the emperor is the one who is conquered by the emperor?"

"Zuo Liangyu, the Marquis of Ningnan, did not know how to repay the emperor's kindness. She had already raised an army a few days ago and led her army south. It was him who I wanted to conquer."

"Zuo Liangyu." Gao Jie really wanted to say that Zuo Liangyu could deal with him himself. In Gao Jie's mind, except for the fact that Daming's current military generals were a little afraid of Huang Degong, the rest of the generals were not taken seriously. Although Zuo Liangyu was powerful, he kept his strength and fled when encountering the enemy. No matter how many such people had, it would be a waste. Once the soldiers formed inertia, even the original elite would become collapsed.

Wang Fu wanted to lead the army in person, but he was not very brave. It was precisely his fear of death. It was very safe to stick to the Nanjing city walls on the surface, but in fact it was not a good idea. If Zuo Liangyu was allowed to push him to the city of Nanjing, the Nanjing city would inevitably be in a state of fluctuation in the hearts of the army and the people. Although there were 60,000 people in the Beijing camp, the combat power was worrying. The training time of the Yulin Guard was too short, and it was inevitable that there would be omissions to defend such a large city of Nanjing. Who knew that under such pressure, the Donglin Party members and the officials in the court would cooperate with Zuo Liangyu in the inside and outside. As long as there was one omission, the city would be destroyed.

The Yulin Guard alone will definitely not be able to defend Nanjing. At the moment, Huang Degong wiped out the two Liu Yu troops at a critical moment and could not be mobilized. Only Gao Jie had tens of thousands of troops doing nothing, but Wang Fu did not dare to take a gamble on his fate, so he let Gao Jie go back to deal with Zuo Liangyu. If Zuo Gao and the others merged, Wang Fu could not even cry.

If the imperial guards personally fight, it seems to be extremely risky, but in fact, there are ten thousand Yulin guards who place Gao Jie in his army. Whether Gao Jie is willing or not, his subordinates must fight to the death. This is similar to the Qing army's threat of Wu Sangui. As long as Gao Jie's troops are willing to fight to the death, the Yulin guards may be able to defeat Zuo Liangyu without having to contribute.
