Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture.

The place was lost, the magistrate died in battle, and the thousands of troops stationed by the imperial court were all destroyed.

At this time, the Lang Son Army had already taken the banner of rebellion and pointed at Songjiang Prefecture City.

The prefect Gao Ting had already received a letter of persuasion to surrender. This Gao Master is now in trouble. The civil strife in Jinling made him feel in danger. When the Langshan army was at the city, the prefect finally realized that the disaster was coming.

The letter to persuade the surrender was written by Hao Fenglou and Xu Jingming. The conditions inside were very simple. If he was spared from death, otherwise he would not be buried when the city was destroyed.

Such persuading surrender is a bit ridiculous. Logically speaking, in order to induce the other party to surrender, high officials and generous salaries are inevitable. However, Hao Fenglou is not interested in fooling around now, so he directly chose the simplest method.

The Gao Magistrate was already anxious.

While sending people to Zhenjiang and asking for reinforcements, he ordered people to go to Jinling to inquire. Now, the only thing he can do is to sit in this mansion that has been surrounded by iron buckets and wait for death.

He was unwilling to surrender. He had an instinctive disgust of Lang Son. His ancestral home was in Jiangxi and a prominent family in the Jishui area. If the Lang Son army took over Jishui, the Gao family would be gone. Therefore, he would rather be a loyal minister. He hoped that one day, when the court quelled the rebellion and could one day provide pensions. Now, it is nothing more than death.

When he thought of death, Gao Zhifu felt very scary, but he had no choice.

At this time, news came from Zhenjiang.

The garrison of Zhenjiang had an affair with Xu Jingming and surrendered.

That's right, 20,000 elite soldiers, just like that. They were all attached to the thief.

This means that Songjiang Prefecture will no longer be able to receive any rescue, and the fall of the prefecture is only a matter of time.

The Gao Magistrate took a deep breath, and he concealed the news and continued to supervise the battle.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Outside the city, tens of thousands of Lang San troops have already set off.

When the Zhenjiang garrison changed its flag and sent a letter, Hao Fenglou casually kneaded the letter into a ball. In his opinion, this seemed to be natural. Xu Jingming seemed to be in a hurry. He was now eager to use Hao Fenglou to lead his troops into the capital, and the empress dowager did not know life or death. He knew nothing about the Xu family's situation. If he delayed like this, God would know what the situation would be in the end.

When the Xu family's trump card was revealed at one time, when civil strife occurred in Jinling, Xu Jingming had already made a decision to bring the wolf into the house. This was not Xu Jingming's stupidity. He really knew very well that the Xu family would fall into the hands of the royal family. It must be the fate of killing the clan, but the Hao family. If the Hao family still wanted a fig leaf and wanted to enter the capital in the name of saving the queen mother, they had to treat the Xu family well. No matter what, everyone still had some love.

Of course, the real problem is not about the relationship, but about a reason. This reason can be drawn from the truth when Xu Jingming fell at the feet of Hao Fenglou and compiled a book for Hao Fenglou. When he began to persuade his disciples and old officials and some generals to surrender, he could find out the truth by saying what he said to his confidant messenger.

"The reliance of our Xu family is the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager represents the late emperor. Therefore, the heroes of the Jingnan Dynasty followed the Empress Dowager's leader, so many gentry still had delusions about our Xu family. It is precisely because of this that the royal family cannot allow others to snore under the bed. Only by eradicating the Xu family can they become the only life-saving grass for the gentry and officials. Once these royal families are successful and when the situation is stable, they will never be able to show mercy."

"But the Hao family is different. Behind the Hao family, there are not gentry. They don't have to worry about the feelings of these gentry, nor have to seek their support, nor have they seize any reputation from the Xu family. Their purpose is to eliminate gentry. Once the gentry is eliminated, then the Xu family is a rootless tree. It can always be built to show their kindness. Only in this way can we survive and rely on these alms to continue the family. Do you understand? Now, there is no way out. The only way out is to fight to be the qualification of being a lackey under the sect. We can eventually be used."

"So, from now on, I, Xu, will be the biggest loyal minister of the Hao family. Just like Mu Sheng, live and live. When today, changes have arisen, we cannot get into the trend, so we must follow the huge tide."

Xu Jingming suddenly stopped playing tricks. This guy, now he is following Hao Fenglou's heels every day, whether it is military meetings or some logistics arrangements, and he squeezes in with shameless face. When Hao Fenglou pulled his horse under Songjiang City, he also rudely strangled his horse like a personal guard, following him step by step.

"Your Highness, after the Zhenjiang garrison surrenders, should we send people into the city? Let's persuade the prefect of Songjiang again. If he is willing to surrender..."

Hao Fenglou shook his head: "I don't think it's necessary. I'm wasting time. We must enter Jinling as soon as possible. Instead of delaying here, it's better to cut the mess quickly."

These words really have no military knowledge. At least he lacks ancient military knowledge. Persuading surrender is the most time-saving way, so why does it become a waste of time?

However, Hao Fenglou obviously has his own confidence, because he knew that his Lang San army would take longer to attack the city than to persuade him to surrender.

So an order was followed by a roar of artillery fire. The entire Songjiang Prefecture, fire bombs were like rain, and artillery shells that covered the clouds and sun were pouring into the ancient city. The city wall suddenly collapsed. Then, a large number of Lang San troops began to enter the city on foot and clear the battlefield...

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Half an hour.

In half an hour, good news came. When the Lang San army scout in the city rode a fast horse to the formation of Hao Fenglou, he fell to the ground and announced that the city had been taken down.

Hao Fenglou looked at Xu Jingming beside him and smiled: "Look, these people are not enough to be stuck in the gaps. For me, the only real battlefield is Jinling."

Xu Jingming smiled embarrassedly, but flattered him against his will: "Your Highness is wise and powerful."

Hao Fenglou no longer calls him brothers, and Xu Jingming obviously seemed to have forgotten that everyone had burned yellow paper and whispered his highness at once. It was very realistic. Xu Jingming no longer had the qualifications to call him brothers. He adapted quickly about this, and Hao Fenglou obviously had a strong adaptability.

At this time, another Pegasus came over and said, "The prefect Gaoting and the local garrison were captured. Please ask Your Highness to deal with it."

Xu Jingming couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, I have heard of this Gao Gong Mansion. It is said that he is a gentleman, and he is known as the Qing Dynasty. When Zhu Gaosui was in court, he wrote a letter to impeach the emperor for military service and was finally demoted to the local area. If this person was killed, he would be afraid of people's hearts..."

Hao Fenglou said seriously: "Send an order and behead his head."

Xu Jingming's face changed and he wanted to persuade him again.

At this time, Hao Fenglou turned sideways, looked at Xu Jingming coldly, and said, "It doesn't matter who he is, but without rules, there is no square or square. I have already sent a letter to all places, rebels and stubborn people die. No matter how valuable a person is, it is his business. If he passes this line, he will be dead."

Xu Jingming was silent.

Hao Fenglou sighed and said, "I know you don't think so. I feel that I am cold. However, I also know that what I do now is to kill people. The only difference between this king and the murderer is that I am not a butcher, but I kill people, but I only achieve my goal. Now I kill a Gaogong in order to let more Gaogong know the power. When the army arrives, for the sake of the people in the city, I can open the city gate and turn the dark to the light. Only by not giving them hope can we survive more people. Do you understand this? Okay, let's go to the city now, and then think about it carefully, and see who else is missing, and see who else is a corrupt."

Xu Jingming smiled bitterly, nodded, and said, "Just rely on your highness's instructions."

In just a few hours, the entire Songjiang changed hands and became calm. The only thing that confirmed that there were still battles here was the craters falling from the cannon and the shocking bullet holes on the walls.

There was no one on the street, and there were several heads hanging at the city gate. It was already hard to identify whose heads it was.

Hao Fenglou directly rushed to the prefect's office. Guards had already begun to clean up and guard. After entering the main hall, Xu Jingming went up and took the pen, ink, paper and ink, and he lay on the table and began to recall it again.

This is a chore. Because you always have to be hard-working to persuade you to surrender. You have to make it clear first. This is for your sake, and you can't be straightforward. You have to cultivate feelings first. For example, when we started to meet, when we were naked, what did we do, and later, how did we know each other's "blind date"? Of course, if you beat this kid when you were a child, it would never be mentioned. When it's almost done, you have to explain it with great righteousness and tell him what the truth of the universe is. Therefore, recently, Xu Jingming has been recalling every little thing in his past every day, recalling his life and his life.
