The 200,000 troops in Zhongzhen Camp, without any moisture, are actually 200,000.

People are like a sea of ​​people, flags cover the sky, swords and guns are like forests, and the army is lined up, covering more than three hundred miles.

Behind them, there were soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, Yuezhou and Wuchang, and they marched quickly to support the Northern Expedition.

Zheng Zunqian rode on the horse, wearing a bright silver helmet and a sky-swallowing beast armor, majestic. Ye Shimao, the general general of Shaoxing, came to Huguang since the Battle of Jingxiang. He looked at Zheng Zunqian with envious face and asked, "Yixing Bo, Duke Yue has summoned you several times to the court to become an official, and he is in charge of the Ministry of War. Why don't Master Bo go?"

Zheng Zunqian owed, clenched the reins of the horse, and smiled and said, "Apart from the Battle of Jingxiang, our Shaoxing troops have not yet made great achievements. The Duke of the Kingdom is thinking that I am the former subordinate of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and I am not recruiting them. A real man immediately strives for fame and fortune, how can he win the title of official title by relying on his relatives and alienation? I have already replied to the Duke of the Kingdom, willing to be a vanguard of the Northern Expedition, not a minister of the court."

Although Ye Shimao disagreed, he still exclaimed: "Yi Xingbo is so noble and noble, and he will admire him."

Zheng Zunqian's family was rich and a real playboy. He didn't like to study, so he liked to dance guns and sticks, hunt birds and beasts, and made a group of grass-roots friends. Later, one of his friends, Xu Du, raised an uprising in Cangshan, and he almost joined the party and was stopped by his father to death. Later, his father surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Zheng Zunqian was furious and cut off his father-son relationship with him, recruited heroes in the village, called friends, and killed Peng Wanli, the magistrate of Kuaiji County who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and rebels from the Qing Dynasty, and raised troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

From this we can see that this man never did his life for fame, but he acted with a chivalrous spirit in his heart. Xu Du's white-headed army rebelled and almost joined. Qian Sule was arrested, and he dared to rob the prison with his servants. It can be seen that he was not so loyal to the Ming Dynasty, or that he could not tolerate the Manchus entering the Central Plains.

The army moved forward, a solemn aura between heaven and earth. Wherever Zhongzhen Camp passed, there were all tragic battlefield relics. Zheng Zunqian looked at the bodies of Qing soldiers who were unrestrained on the ground, the broken flags, and the blood-red mud and sandy road with a fishy smell, with a solemn expression.

Ye Shimao stepped forward and said, "Brother, I see that the strength of the Qing soldiers should not be underestimated. The Zhongzhen Camp has 200,000 people, and they have entered the Central Plains north, and even such small levels have a fierce bloody battle. If it were an ordinary green camp, they would have fallen long ago."

Zheng Zunqian nodded and asked, "Where has Du Yinxi attacked?"

Ye Shimao pondered: "At noon, the spies reported that they had captured Dengzhou, and I'm afraid it would be Nanyang Prefecture if they went forward."

Zheng Zunqian was full of enthusiasm: "Nanyang was the place where the late emperor was a vassal. I heard that the monarchy had just been punished in the court. It would be better to conquer Nanyang and regain the land where the Tang kings buried their bones in the past dynasties. It would be considered a battle between the monarch and his ministers."

----

Nanyang Prefecture, Haoge and Ajige looked at Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming in the hall, with anger faintly slightest between their eyebrows, but they did not dare to make it happen. Especially Ajige, when Kong Youde was defeated in Dengzhou and was defeated, he accepted the defeated army and their family members. Kong Youde's hair was forced to shave.

Haoge said in a deep voice: "Du Yinxi's army is approaching, King Gongshun, and King Huaishun have always been powerful generals of my Qing Dynasty. They are invincible in battle and are invincible. Why can't I resist the remnants of Li Zicheng? I dare to let them fight to Nanyang?"

Kong Youde used to be quite obedient to the Qing Dynasty, but now the situation is stronger than others. When he heard this, he said coldly: "The Manchu warriors were fighting with one hundred, and they were defeated from Changsha to Nanyang by them, let alone our weak Han soldiers. Prince Su must not underestimate this enemy army, so as not to repeat the mistakes of Jingxiang."

Haoge's face turned pale and his palms were tightly grasping the chair. Although his mortal enemy Ajige was Dorgon's eldest brother, he naturally turned to him in the face of the dispute between Manchu and Han.

Ajige said sternly: "You are restricted from going out of the city to fight, block them outside Nanyang for three days, and wait for Jiergalang to lead his troops. If you get close to Nanyang, there are too many artillery artillery in the Ming army, and the small city of Nanyang cannot stop it."

Although Jirhalang is Nurhaci's nephew, he has lived in Nurhaci's palace since he was a child and raised by Nurhaci, so he has a good relationship with Nurhaci's sons, especially his relationship with Huang Taiji is extraordinary, so that he will still be trusted and valued after his father and brother rebelled.

This Jirgalang was not only one of the eight major Heshuo Beile who was in charge of the state affairs during the Arhaci period, but also one of the four major princes of the Huang Taiji period. He became the only person in the history of the Qing Dynasty except Dorgon to be named "King Shu".

Such people had to lead troops south, which showed that the Qing Dynasty was already in short supply.

Geng Zhongming had been in the Qing court for a long time, so how could he not know the various things? The Qing Dynasty's power was declining, so he had to rely more on his Han generals. Geng Zhongming, Kong Youde was not a good person, so how could he let them control it?

Kong Youde raised his eyebrows and wanted to argue with Ajige, but was quietly pulled by Geng Zhongming. Although he was irritable, he endured Geng Zhongming's words the most and endured them.

Geng Zhongming patted his chest and said aloud: "Prince Su, Prince Ying, don't worry, our brothers must be the Qing Dynasty and block Du Yinxi outside Nanyang."

Azig snorted coldly: "This is almost the same."

"Two princes, if it's okay, we will go back and arrange the fortifications."

Haoge waved his hand and lowered his head to signal that they could step down.

When the two walked out of the tent, Azige's voice came: "These two slaves are becoming more and more presumptuous!"

Although they spoke Manchu language, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming had been outside the pass for a long time and had been familiar with Manchu language.

Geng Zhongming grabbed Kong Youde's hand and walked out of the old Tang Palace in Nanyang, riding on a horse.

Kong Youde leaned over and said anxiously: "Geng Er, what's your idea?"

Geng Zhongming looked at Kong Youde's appearance and smiled and said, "Old Confucius, today is different from the past. In the past, we were defeated and could be beheaded by the Qing court. But now the more we lose, the more we will be rewarded."

Kong Youde opened his mouth and asked, "What's going on? Tell me a good story."

"There are only a few people in Manchuria. If he wants to occupy the land of the Ming Dynasty, it is like a toad that wants to swallow the sky. Especially as the south is becoming more and more stable, the best result is to learn from the Jin Dynasty and divide the river with the Southern Ming Dynasty. If it were Han people like you, me, Wu Sangui, and Shang Kexi, they would not even be able to sit steadily."

Kong Youde said anxiously: "It's right that you can't sit steadily. Why do you want them to sit steadily? Don't talk about this first, let's talk about how to deal with this mad dog Du Yinxi this time."

Geng Zhongming looked around and saw that they were all his confidants, and lowered his voice and said, "We put Du Yinxi in. Haoge and Ajige are short of troops and cannot resist at all. But when they fight back and meet Jiergalang, they can only kill both sides of the defeat. We will seal the back road, and Du Yinxi will be defeated and we will deal with him and occupy the Central Plains. Du Yinxi is defeated, and we will go south to Xiangyang and occupy Jingxiang. At that time, as long as we open our mouths, they will give whatever they want from the Qing court, otherwise they will change their courses and change their banners, and get along well between the Ming and Qing dynasties and ask for a price."
