Xie Ming

Chapter 257: Dispute between Huang and Liu

After being teased and exposed by Huang Degong, Liu Zeqing had no choice but to present treasures in court and flatter, hoping to win Qiu Weizhen's favor with the Ganoderma lucidum in his hand.

Mr. Qiu was obviously pleased to hear the flattery. Although he laughed and scolded, he was actually very happy in his heart.

"You, you!"

"You kid, don't I know that?!"

"Don't be so quick to flatter me as soon as you come!"

"What the hell is that!"

"Scare my heart and shut my mouth!"

"So that when you come back to ask for money, you can find ways to scheme against me?!"

"Humph!"

"I won't fall for your trick!" Qiu Weizheng scolded.

"Ouch!"

"Oh, Mr. Qiu, let me tell you what you say!"

"Who are you?!"

"He is a person who has his eyes and ears open in all directions!"

"How dare I, Liu Zeqing, play these tricks in front of you?!"

When Liu Zeqing heard Qiu Weizheng talking about asking for money, he tried in vain to explain and just responded with a smile.

"Humph!"

"Okay, okay, you'll be done soon!" Unexpectedly, Huang Degong, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand what he heard and interrupted him.

"Among the four generals of Jiangbei, you are the only one with the most evil intentions!"

"You're almost there!"

"It makes me sick to my stomach to hear that!"

"Old man, please don't listen to his nonsense. We have serious matters to discuss here!" Huang Degong interrupted.

"Eh!"

"Huang Chuangzi, you fucking bastard." Liu Zeqing was repeatedly mocked and sabotaged by Huang, and he was a little annoyed for a moment!

"Go!"

"Don't act cute in front of me!"

"Today at noon, outside the north gate of Yingtianfu, tell me where you are hiding and what you are hiding?"

"I saw you hiding in the dense forest early in the morning!"

"But you arrived here early, but you haven't entered the city yet. What do you want to do?!"

"How?"

"You're getting your ears pierced right before getting into the sedan?!"

"We sent someone into the city to inquire, and we learned that Minister Qiu was also at the meeting today. So we bought the fake mountain products from some shop outside the city gate. I wonder?! Ah?"

"I bother!"

"I don't even know what the hell this is!"

"Your ability is limited to your mouth!" Huang Degong's words were quite serious and his scolding was indeed quite harsh.

"you"

"Huang Chuangzi, I fuck your mother!"

"You'd better not go too far!" Liu Zeqing took a stance, unable to bear this humiliation any longer. In a fit of rage, he reached for the hilt of the knife at his waist, ready to resort to violence.

"Okay!"

"stop!"

"Both of you, stop it!"

Inside the meeting hall of the Ministry of War, at the gate of the government office, the two generals threw away all respect and started fighting just because of a disagreement!

Qiu Weizhen's joy turned to anger in an instant. After all, Ni Yuanlu and others were still in the queue, and he felt embarrassed, so he slammed the table and shouted at the two of them. "Look carefully, what kind of place is this!"

"A scoundrel?"

"Or a foolish and reckless man?!"

"This is the Yingtianfu Military Department Office!"

"What are you two going to do?!"

"You guys don't have any shame, but do I still have some shame?!"

"Go!"

"Get out of the way and sit down quietly!" Qiu Weizheng said angrily.

Upon hearing this, Huang Degong immediately nodded without saying anything, looking unhappy, but he had no choice but to do as ordered.

Liu Zeqing stepped back and hesitated, holding the brocade box tightly in his hand, and looked up at Qiu Weizheng, as if he wanted to explain something.

But Mr. Qiu was already impatient and would not listen to any more words, so he waved his hand and dismissed them all.

After the two men sat down, they were still at odds with each other, glaring at each other and fighting.

Right now, in the meeting hall of the Ministry of War, Qiu Weizheng is the chief figure, sitting behind the table in the middle, facing the hall door, which is the main seat!

On the left and right, there are two beech armchairs with a coffee table in between.

The left is the most respected, so the three elders, Ni Yuanlu, Lin Zengzhi and Li Shichun, sat in the front row in order.

After that, other important officials with the titles of ministers and vice ministers in the secondary capital Nanjing will be able to attend the meeting.

In the right column, Huang Degong is at the first, followed by Liu Zeqing, temporarily occupying the second seat.

This farce is over!
I waited for about half an hour!

General of Fengyang, Gao Jie!
Together with Xuzhou General Liu Liangzuo, these two Ming generals who surrendered were finally allowed to enter the venue.

[Gao Jie, 38 years old, from Mizhi, Shaanxi.]

[He and Li Zicheng were from the same town, and they both started out as bandits. He was originally a general under Li Zicheng, and his nickname was Defanshan Yao.]

[In the seventh year of Chongzhen (1634), the then Ming court governor Chen Qiyu sent Lieutenant General He Renlong to rescue Longzhou, but they were surrounded by bandits on the way and were in an extremely difficult situation. Li Zicheng then intended to ask Gao Jie and Xin to make an appointment with He Renlong to rebel and surrender.]

[But for a moment, Gao Jie was reluctant and did not respond.]

【Li Zicheng then became suspicious, fearing that Gao Jie might have ulterior motives, so he sent another general from the side branch to replace Gao Jie and ordered Gao Jie to return to guard the camp.】

[At that time, Li Zicheng's wife, Xing, was brave and intelligent. She was in charge of managing military supplies and distributing military rations and weapons every day to support the war at the front.]

[One day, Gao Jie was idle in his tent, and he asked Xing to give him a seal to verify his identity. Xing saw that Gao Jie was handsome, so she had an affair with him! ]

[The two of them were secretly in love, but they were afraid that Li Zicheng would find out and their lives would be in danger, so they conspired together and surrendered to the Ming army before the plan failed! ]

[In August of the eighth year of Chongzhen (1635), Gao Jie and Xing Shi surrendered to Hong Chengchou, who handed them over to He Renlong for leadership.]

[He Renlong ordered his men to attack Sun Shoufa and take Gao Jie to attack Li Zicheng's army to test their sincerity.]

[Afterwards, Gao Jie was retained to serve under He Renlong because of his meritorious service in the war.]

In the 1640th year of Chongzhen (), Zhang Xianzhong was defeated at Manju Mountain and fled to the border of Xing and Gui. Gao Jie followed He Renlong and his deputy general Li Guoqi and defeated Zhang Xianzhong's troops at Yanjing.

[In the 1642th year of Chongzhen (), He Renlong was executed for his crimes, and the court appointed Gao Jie as the actual guerrilla general.]

[In the 1643th year of Chongzhen (), Gao Jie was promoted to deputy general and served as the vanguard together with general Bai Guangen! ]

In the 1644th year of Chongzhen (), Gao Jie was promoted to the commander-in-chief. Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian ordered Governor Li Huaxi to lead Gao Jie's troops to quickly aid Shanxi, but Puzhou and Pingyang had been lost for a long time, so Gao Jie retreated to Zezhou and plundered along the way. 】

[Later, he led his troops to retreat to Fengyang and secured his position until today! ]

【Liu Liangzuo, forty-three years old, courtesy name Mingfu, from Northern Zhili.】

[He also initially served in Li Zicheng's army, but later had disagreements with the commander and was framed. Fearing that his life was in danger, he hastily led his troops in rebellion and surrendered to the Ming army.]

[In the ten years before Chongzhen, Liu Liangzuo led troops in Susong, Luzhou, and Lu'an to fight against Li Zicheng's bandit army! Because of his outstanding military exploits, he was gradually promoted to the rank of general.]

[In the tenth year of Chongzhen (1637), he and General Mou Wenshou defeated Luo Rucai's army of more than men! ]

[In the 1642th year of Chongzhen (), he and Huang Degong defeated Zhang Xianzhong in Qianshan.]
