Of course He Renlong had thought about what he should do.
As Gao Jie said, if he did not go to see the governor, he would be disobeying the new governor's military order. If the court was not strong and there was no great victory in Jizhou, he would actually be indifferent.
Are you afraid that the imperial court will bite him? In these troubled times, we still don’t know if the imperial court will still exist, and what will happen to this world!
However, in this great victory in Jizhou, the imperial court was able to defeat hundreds of thousands of captives and annihilate them all. This left He Renlong with no idea. If he wanted to be the same as before and didn't listen to the new governor, he would really have to do it.
As Gao Jie said, unless you are determined to rebel.
However, if there is a rebellion, can he defeat the imperial army? Is he more powerful than the army of hundreds of thousands of captives? He has a negative attitude towards this.
Now, seeing that Gao Jie's analysis was similar to what he thought, He Renlong felt a little more confident.
Of course, it would be false to say that he was not afraid of the court's investigation at all. Otherwise, he would not have approached his generals to discuss this matter.
Therefore, after He Renlong finished laughing, he did not make up his mind immediately, but was still a little hesitant.
When Gao Jie saw this, he rolled his eyes and said to He Renlong: "I have followed the commander for many years. If we only talk about battlefield methods, I believe that the commander is definitely no worse than the few newly conferred counts by the imperial court. They can all do it."
The commander-in-chief can definitely be knighted in the future. Now, all that is left is a confidant of the emperor who can appreciate the commander-in-chief!"
The reason why he tried so hard to persuade He Renlong to meet the new governor of the three sides is not that he knew that according to historical development, He Renlong would be killed, and he would accept He Renlong's army and eventually become one of the four towns in the late Ming Dynasty.
.But Gao Jie has no escape route and can no longer become a thief.
Li Zicheng is currently the biggest bandit leader. He abducted someone else's wife. No matter in the officialdom or in the world, he is considered shameless. Once he becomes a thief again, who knows if he will meet him again in the future.
Li Zicheng was retaliated for this!
At this time, He Renlong couldn't help but his eyes gleamed when he heard Gao Jie's words. To be honest, Gao Jie's words once again reached his heart!
Based on his battlefield skills and his "people come crazy" fighting spirit, he really didn't think that he would be worse than Zhou Yuji, Sun Yingyuan and others. Not to mention, he had been awarded many titles today. He Renlong
With this self-confidence, if someone truly reports his or her merits, he will definitely be able to make a fortune as an earl!
Thinking of this, He Renlong suddenly pointed his finger at Gao Jie and said with a smile: "You are so actively encouraging me to go to the new governor. Are you jealous that Yuan Shizhong has also been knighted?"
Gao Jie was stunned for a moment, then he came back to his senses and said with a charming smile: "The commander is really wise, I can't hide this idea from the commander!"
At this point, he also patted his chest and said: "Then Yuan Shizhong is a green onion. When I was fighting on the battlefield, he didn't even know he was in that corner! He can be crowned, so the general will naturally be unconvinced. Really
In terms of military merit, the last general will definitely have such a day!"
Seeing that he admitted it, He Renlong laughed again, and then said to Gao Jie: "Yes, we are all the same. Who will we lose on the battlefield?"
Gao Jie saw this and took the opportunity to say to He Renlong again: "Commander, now the person whom the emperor trusts most will serve as the governor of the three sides. Once he is recognized by the governor and becomes his most capable subordinate, the commander's achievements will definitely be credited to him."
Listen to Datian, maybe you can say a few more nice words, this title is naturally in the hands of the commander-in-chief!"
When He Renlong heard this, he pointed at Gao Jie with a smile and said, "You too, haha, you can do it too!"
The other generals who had been silent and just listened stupidly, such as Wei Daheng, He Guoxian, Gao Jinku, Gao Ruli, He Yong, Dong Xueli and others, when they heard this, they didn't know if they felt that they had this too.
Maybe, they all laughed together.
Most of them were originally bandits who were placed under the command of He Renlong by Hong Chengchou and other commanders after they were recruited. To be honest, Yuan Shizhong was able to be knighted, which gave them a bright future.
At the end of the discussion, He Renlong finally decided to set off immediately to meet the new governor.
The reason why he finally decided to take action was that firstly, Gao Jie had the same views as his hero; secondly, he believed that his previous behavior was very common at this time. Wasn't it just disobeying orders and escaping from the battle? How many others
I have never done anything like this!
He Renlong himself felt that the emperor would not fail to deal with others, but would deal with him alone. No, I have never heard of the emperor punishing any general.
It can be seen that the impact of Jizhou's great victory, as well as the fact that the knight was awarded a horse's bones, had a great impact on the military and morale of the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Chongzhen had been holding back for several months before releasing this big move, which became a turning point in the situation of the Ming Dynasty.
What He Renlong didn't expect was that he hurriedly rushed to Guyuan to see Du Yinxi, the governor of the three sides. The result was not early. Not only Zheng Jiadong, the commander-in-chief of Guyuan, but also Niu Chenghu, the commander-in-chief of Lintao, and others.
We almost arrived together with him. Obviously, the thoughts of the generals from all walks of life were similar to his.
As soon as he arrived outside Guyuan City, He Renlong discovered that the garrison of Guyuan City was far from what it used to be. They were heavily guarded and showed no sign of relaxation.
Seeing this scene, he suddenly felt a little guilty and did not dare to go into the city and secretly inquire about the situation in the city.
"What?" He Renlong heard the report from his subordinates who pretended to be ordinary people and came back to the city, and couldn't help but said in surprise, "All of the two thousand troops directly under the governor's command are equipped with fine steel armor and sophisticated ordnance?"
"Yes, Marshal, these are all our Qin people who participated in the Battle of Jizhou and were selected by us!"
For He Renlong, he naturally knows very well how much influence stainless steel armor has on battlefield fighting. He has fought for many years, most of which were captured, and he does not have a thousand pieces of armor, and most of them are scale armor.
It can be said that the Governor-General has such a powerful direct army, so the reliance on the general soldiers will inevitably be reduced to a lower level.
Weighing these things in his mind, He Renlong became even more hesitant! He summoned Gao Jie and others to discuss it, but no one gave him any reason to feel relieved.
After all, he directly or indirectly tricked two former trilateral governors, Fu Zonglong and Wang Qiaonian, to death.
He Renlong was hesitating in the military camp outside the city. Should he go into the city to see the new governor of the three sides, or should he go back first?
Suddenly, a soldier came in hurriedly and reported to him: "The Governor is here!"
"What?" This news shocked He Renlong and other generals who were discussing. He Renlong even asked quickly, "How many troops are you bringing?"
The subordinate who reported the news was a little surprised when he heard it, and quickly replied: "Just a dozen guards, not many people!"
He Renlong thought that if he didn't go in to see the Governor outside the city, it would be time for the Governor to come over to investigate and arrest him. But when he heard this, he suddenly looked incredulous. The Governor came to his camp.
Only with a dozen guards?
When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but be very pleasantly surprised. He turned to look at Gao Jie and quickly confirmed: "The Governor only brought a dozen guards. He shouldn't be here to ask for guilt, right?"
He was worried, not knowing how to meet the new governor, and what would happen after this meeting? Could it be that he followed Hong Chengchou's order, entertained the surrendered bandits, and then chopped them all up by throwing cups
Bar?
Now, the new governor only brought a dozen guards with him. Does that mean that he should be fine? It is impossible that the governor is here to ask for guilt, right?
This is absolutely impossible!
Gao Jie and others were also surprised. Of course, they couldn't welcome this situation the most.
While they were pleasantly surprised, they heard noisy noises coming from outside. Listening carefully, they found that it was the Governor who had barged in directly. The soldiers outside did not dare to stop them, but they did not dare not to stop them either. They were probably just faking the story and causing trouble.
Even if there was a little movement, it would not prevent the Governor from breaking in.
After hearing this, He Renlong glanced at Gao Jie and others, not daring to neglect, and hurriedly went to welcome the Chinese army out of the tent first.
When Gao Jie and other generals saw it, they naturally followed suit. Everyone's expressions were mostly relaxed.
The group of them had just left the central military tent when they saw an official wearing a scarlet robe, surrounded by more than a dozen personal guards, already coming over.
Looking at the official uniform, He Renlong and others immediately recognized that this must be the new Trilateral Governor Du Yinxidu!
However, they were still surprised when they saw it.
The only reason is that the new Trilateral Governor is too young!
They, the military leaders, had always admired Hong Chengchou under his command, not only for his ability, but also for his young age. To be honest, at that time, they felt that they would be most happy to fight under Hong Chengchou.
Not only can he win the battle, but because Hong Chengchou is young, he must have a bright future. Then the generals under Hong Chengchou will naturally have a bright future. Apart from anything else, Hong Chengchou can be regarded as having a big head when he goes to the DPRK.
.
Unexpectedly, Hong Chengchou eventually surrendered to Jianlu.
At this time, they saw that the new governor of the three sides, not to mention very trusted by the current emperor, was so young, even younger than Hong Chengchou, which really surprised them.
In other words, if you can follow the new governor and become his confidant, your future will definitely be very bright, and it may not be a problem to become a prince or a general.
With this in mind, He Renlong and others hurriedly stepped forward to salute, even kneeling down on one knee in the most solemn way, clasping his fists with both hands and saying: "General He Renlong (Gao Jie...), General-General Governor!"
The person who came was Du Yinxi. Seeing the group of soldiers kneeling in front of him, he took a moment to look at them.
