Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture. This place has been lost, the county magistrate died in the battle, and thousands of troops and horses stationed by the imperial court were all wiped out. At this time, the Lang Son Army had already launched a banner of rebellion, and its swords were pointing at Songjiang Fucheng. The prefect Gaoting has received a letter persuading him to surrender. This high-ranking man is now unbearably disturbed. The civil strife in Jinling makes him feel precarious. When the Lang Son army comes to the city, the high prefect finally knows that the general is in danger. Disaster is coming. The letter persuading him to surrender was written personally by Hao Fenglou and Xu Jingming. The conditions in it were very simple: spare his life, otherwise he would die without a burial place when the city was destroyed. Such persuasion to surrender is somewhat absurd. Logically speaking, in order to induce the other party to surrender, it is inevitable to have a high-ranking official with a generous salary, but Hao Fenglou was not in the mood to fool around now, so he directly chose the simplest method. The prefectural government is already anxious. ¡°While he sent people to Zhenjiang to request reinforcements, he also ordered people to go to Jinling to ask for help. Now, the only thing he can do is to sit and wait for death in this city that has been surrounded like an iron barrel. He is unwilling to surrender. He has an instinctive dislike for Langshan. His ancestral home is in Jiangxi and he is a prominent family in Jishui. If the Langshan army takes Jishui, the Gao family will be gone. , so he would rather be a loyal minister, hoping that one day, when the court suppresses the rebellion, he can be compensated. Now, it is nothing more than death. The thought of death made Gao Zhifu feel terrible, but he had no choice. At this time, news came from Zhenjiang. The general of Zhenjiang had an affair with Xu Jingming. Down. That¡¯s right, 20,000 elite soldiers, just like that. Possessed by a thief. This means that Songjiang Prefecture will no longer be able to receive any rescue, and the fall of Fucheng is only a matter of time. Gao Zhifu took a deep breath. He concealed the news and still supervised the battle. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Outside the city, there are tens of thousands of Lang Son troops. Already set up a posture. When the Zhenjiang defender changed his banner and a letter arrived, Hao Fenglou casually crumpled the letter into a ball. To him, this seemed to be a matter of course. Xu Jingming, on the other hand, seemed to be in a hurry. He was now eager to use Hao Fenglou to lead troops into Beijing, and the Queen Mother did not know whether he was alive or dead. He also knew nothing about the Xu family's situation. If we continue to delay like this, God knows what the final situation will be. When the Xu family¡¯s trump card was exposed at once, when civil strife broke out in Jinling, Xu Jingming had already made the decision to lure the wolf into the house. This was not because Xu Jingming was stupid, but because he knew very well that the Xu family fell into the hands of the clan. It must be the fate of the Zhu clan, and it must fall into the hands of the Hao family. If the Hao family still wants a fig leaf and wants to enter the capital in the name of saving the Queen Mother, they must treat the Xu family well. No matter what, everyone still has some affection. Of course, the real problem is not about love, but about a reason. This reason, when Xu Jingming prostrated himself at the foot of Hao Feng Tower, while repairing books for Hao Feng Tower, and began to persuade his disciples, former officials and some subordinates to surrender, he felt that he had no confidence in his confidants. The truth comes from the words spoken by the messenger. "The support of our Xu family is the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother represents the late emperor. Therefore, the heroes of the Jingnan War all regard the Queen Mother as their leader. Therefore, many gentry still have delusions about our Xu family. Because of this, under the bed How can we allow others to sleep? Only by eradicating the Xu family can these clans become the only lifeline for the gentry and officials. Once the situation is stabilized, these clans will never show mercy. " "But the Hao family. The difference is that the Hao family is not behind the gentry. They do not need to worry about the feelings of these gentry, nor do they need to win their support. They do not need to seize any reputation from the Xu family. Their purpose is to eradicate the gentry. Once the gentry is eliminated, then The Xu family is like a tree without roots. If you keep it, you can always build a memorial arch to show their kindness. Only in this way can we survive and rely on these donations to continue the family. Do you understand that it has happened now? There is no way out. The only way out is to fight for the qualifications to be the lackeys of this sect. After all, we can be used. " "Therefore, from now on, I, Mr. Xu, am the Hao family's biggest loyalist, just like that. Just like Mu Sheng, live and continue to live. Today, the world has changed. We can¡¯t ride the tide, so we must follow this mighty tide. "Xu Jingming suddenly stopped playing tricks. This dear friend, now follows him every day. At Hao Fenglou's heels, he shamelessly squeezed in whether it was a military meeting or some logistical arrangements. When Hao Fenglou reined in Songjiang City, he was also unceremonious. He reined in his horse and followed every step like a personal guard.  "Your Highness, since the Zhenjiang garrison has surrendered, should we send more people into the city to persuade the Songjiang magistrate again? If he is willing to surrender" Hao Fenglou shook his head: "I don't think it's necessary. It's a waste of time. We We must rush into Jinling as soon as possible. Instead of delaying here, it is better to cut through the mess quickly." These words really have no military common sense, at least he lacks ancient military common sense. Persuading surrender is the most time-saving and labor-saving way. How can it be the opposite? A waste of time. However, Hao Fenglou obviously had his own confidence, because he knew that the time for his Lang Son Army to attack the city would be shorter than to persuade him to surrender. Then an order was given, and then artillery fire roared. The entire Songjiang Prefecture was rained with fire bombs, and the cloud-blocking artillery shells poured down on the ancient city. The city wall suddenly collapsed. Then, a large number of Lang Son troops started to kill on foot. Enter the city and clean up the battlefield¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Half an hour. Within half an hour, the good news came. When the scouts of the Lang Son Army in the city arrived in front of the Haofeng Tower on fast horses, they prostrated themselves to the ground and announced that the city had been captured. Hao Fenglou glanced at Xu Jingming beside him and smiled: "Look, these people are not enough to fill the gap between teeth. For me, the only real battlefield is Jinling." Xu Jingming smiled sarcastically, but it was against his will. Flattery: "Your Highness is wise and powerful." Hao Fenglou no longer calls him a brother, and Xu Jingming seems to have suddenly forgotten that everyone burned yellow paper, and spoke to His Highness one by one. He is very realistic, and Xu Jingming is no longer there He adapted quickly to the qualifications of being called brothers, and Hao Fenglou was obviously very adaptable. At this time, another Pegasus came over and said: "The prefect Gaoting and the local garrison have been captured. Please deal with it, Your Highness." Name, when Zhu Gaosui was in court, he wrote a letter to impeach the emperor for engaging in military violence, and was eventually demoted to the local government. If this person is killed, he will only be afraid of people's hearts" Hao Fenglou said seriously: "Send the order and show the owl's head to the public." His face changed, and he wanted to persuade him again. At this time, Hao Fenglou turned sideways, glanced at Xu Jingming coldly, and said: "It doesn't matter who he is, but without rules, there is no Fangyuan. I have spread this message to all places, rebels will live, and those who resist will die. No matter how noble his character is, that is his business. If he crosses this line, he will die. " Xu Jingming was silent. Hao Fenglou waited until the messenger went to deliver the order, then sighed and said: "I know you don't think so and think I am cold, but I also know that what I am doing now is murder. , but the only difference between this king and the murderer is that I am not a butcher. I kill people just to achieve my goal. Now I kill a Kozhifu just to let more Kozhifu know how powerful I am. When I see the army coming, , for the sake of the people in the city, we can open the city gate and turn to the light. Only by not giving them hope can more people survive. Do you understand this? Okay, let's enter the city now and think about it carefully. What else is missing? Let¡¯s see who else is weak.¡± Xu Jingming smiled bitterly, nodded, and said, ¡°It¡¯s just based on His Highness¡¯s orders.¡± In just a few hours, the entire Songjiang area has changed hands and returned to peace. This is the only confirmation. There have been battles here, but probably only the craters from the cannons and the shocking bullet holes in the walls. There is no one on the street, but there are several heads hanging at the city gate. It is no longer clear whose head it is. Hao Fenglou rode directly to the magistrate's Yamen. There were already guards cleaning and guarding here. After entering the main hall, Xu Jingming came up and brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone. He lay on the table and began to recall again. This is a hard job, because to persuade you to surrender, you have to be sincere and sincere. You have to state first that this is for your own sake, and you can¡¯t be straightforward. You also have to cultivate feelings first, such as General XX, when did we first know each other? What did we do when we were naked, and how did we get to know each other later? Of course, if you beat this kid when you were a child, you must not mention it. When it is almost done, you must show it with righteousness. , tell him what the truth of the universe is. Therefore, Xu Jingming has been recalling bits and pieces of his past every day recently, recalling his life over and over again. But as a result, Xu Jingming felt inferior. He suddenly discovered thatIn his life, he has really never done anything good or bad, but he has done a lot of bad things. Sometimes Xu Jingming even feels that he is disgusting: "It's not a thing."
