After capturing Wei Hui, Gao Jie did not stay long, but led his army across Qishui and entered Huaxian.
Huaxian County is affiliated to Daming Prefecture.
The county magistrate Sun Yingjie learned that Gao Jie led his army to Huaxian County and hanged himself neatly in the Yamen lobby.
There is nothing that can be done about this.
There are only two hundred Fuku soldiers in Huaxian County, which is not enough to fill the gap between the Ming army.
Once the city is defeated, Sun Yingjie will inevitably be guilty of losing his land.
Not only will he be beheaded, but his family will also be implicated and become the slaves of the bannermen.
And if he died in his name, the Qing court would not only not demote his family members as slaves, but would reward his loyalty and give his family some silver rewards.
Sun Yingjie's choice was not too bad if he sacrificed himself in exchange for the happiness of the whole family.
After easily conquering Huaxian County, Gao Jie led his army northward along the Weihe River, and even defeated Junxian County, Huilong Town, and came to Daming City.
The famous prefect Yao Yuanshan asked the Qing court for help while organizing manpower for defense.
The situation in Damingfu City is much better than that in Huaxian County, with more than 2,000 green battalion troops stationed.
Together with the temporarily recruited local warriors, Yao Yuanshan gathered 5,000 people and prepared to resist stubbornly and drag the imperial court to send troops for reinforcements.
Gao Jie once again used gunpowder to blow up the city, and easily blew open the walls of Damingfu City.
However, this time it was not the vanguard army led by Li Chengdong who attacked and seized the gap, but the Green Camp Army of Wei Hui Mansion that had just surrendered.
They were led by Zhang Yong, the former deputy general of Wei Hui.
Zhang Yong originally thought that Gao Jie would order them to keep Wei Hui after surrender.
Who would have thought that Gao Jie would take him with him and fight all the way to Beizhili Huaxian and Junxian fought all the way, and Zhang Yong finally understood that Gao Jie wanted them to have no retreat and to follow the Ming army in a down-to-earth manner.
After all, Wei Hui's green camp had a share in the capture of these cities.
Even if they looked for opportunities to escape and surrender to the Qing court, the Qing court would not let them go.
Since there was no way out, Zhang Yong simply made up his mind and fully cooperated with Gao Jie's actions.
He would hit whomever Gao Jie asked him to hit, and he would bite whomever Gao Jie asked him to bite.
And Daming Mansion is a small test for Zhang Yong.
The commander of Daming Prefecture's green camp army was a deputy general named Zheng Hu.
Although he was also a deputy general, he was far behind Zhang Yong.
He only had 2,000 men under his command, while Zhang Yong commanded a full 5,000 men.
When the city wall was blown open, Zhang Yong led the original Wei Huilv battalion to seize the gap without hesitation.
Upon seeing this, Zheng Hu quickly raised his troops to fight.
Both sides are third-rate green battalion troops, with only half the fighting power.
However, Zhang Yong had the numerical advantage and gradually took the initiative, taking advantage of the laxity of the Damingfu Green Camp Army to control the gap in one fell swoop.
Upon seeing this, Zheng Hu had no choice but to lead his army back to the inner city in an attempt to engage in street fighting.
At this time, Zhang Yong started to persuade him to surrender, even using himself as an example to show that he also wanted to fight to the end, but after surrendering, he found that following the Ming army was much more enjoyable than following the Qing army, and he didn't have to be poked in the back.
Scold the two Tartars.
We all are descendants of our father and mother, so why should we be willing to be slaves to the Tatars?
Zheng Hu was not firm in his will at first, and he was even more hesitant after hearing Zhang Yong's words.
Seeing that his attitude had softened, Zhang Yong continued to persuade him to surrender and drew a big cake for Zheng Hu to see.
In the end, Zheng Hu could not resist the temptation and led his troops to surrender, and the Ming army captured Daming Mansion effortlessly.
Sudden changes occurred.
The famous prefect Yao Yuanshan was captured by the Green Camp soldiers before he could hang himself, and was turned to Gao Jie.
An official of this level had no value as a prisoner, so Gao Jie ordered him to be beheaded with a wave of his hand.
Regarding the Green Camp soldiers who surrendered in Daming Mansion, Gao Jie adopted the same strategy as the Wei Green Camp soldiers, which was to drive as the vanguard and continue to capture the city.
In this way, ordinary city heroes can completely rely on green battalions to attack, and their own direct troops will not suffer too much loss.
Gao Jie did not exploit the people of Daming Mansion.
After all, these people were forced to shave their heads.
To some extent, they were also victims of the Qing government's harsh rule.

Gao Jie only took rice grains from the treasury to use as military rations, and did not do any harm to the people.
Leaving Daming Mansion and continuing northward is Guangping Mansion.
In this generation, Gaojie's Ming army also did not encounter much resistance.
After easily capturing Cheng'an and Feixiang, Gao Jie's troops pointed directly at Yongnian.
Dorgon, who was far away in the capital, was shocked when he learned the news.
The Ming army easily broke through the Weihui defense line and entered Beizhili, unstoppable along the way.
If this continues, it won't be long before Gao Jie can attack the capital.
Although Duoduo's army is already on its way back to Beijing, it will still take another ten days.
If Gao Jie goes crazy and defeats all the prefectures in northern Zhili during this period, it will be a serious blow to the Qing court's prestige. .
Dorgon must not sit idly by and must send a strong army to block Gao Jie's progress.
It's just that most of the main force of the Qing army is not in Beizhili.
The only elites are the Zhenghuang Banner and Xianghuang Banner who serve the emperor.
They shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the capital and cannot be easily mobilized unless absolutely necessary.
And even if they are mobilized to stop Gao Jie, who will be the commander-in-chief?
Dorgon himself certainly can't do it, he must sit in the capital.
Azig and Duduo, two brothers from the same mother, both led the troops.
Jierhalang and Daishan are both old, and the only choice seems to be Hauge.
Dorgon was extremely unwilling to see Hauge regain military power.
The more Dorgon thought about it, the more headache he felt, so he had no choice but to ask Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou for advice.
The two are now Dorgon's right-hand men, and Dorgon will think of them immediately if he has any questions.
Now Dorgon has moved out of the Forbidden City, so it was Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng who were summoned at Prince Rui's Mansion.
The two hurried to the palace, saluted Dorgon and stood aside respectfully with their hands tied.
Dorgon had no intention of chatting with them and said directly: "I came to these two gentlemen to ask who should lead the troops to stop the Ming army."
Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou looked at each other in silence.
They all know that the most suitable candidate to lead the army now is Hauge.
Hauge is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, and he is very prestigious among the two yellow flags.
In addition to his bravery in battle, he can be said to be a famous general in the world for his military exploits.
But it happened that Hauge was Dorgon's political enemy.
The two almost fought for the throne.
Although they finally reconciled, the knot in their hearts could not be resolved.
Dorgon would never give up military power to Hauge at this time.
Since Hauge can't do it, he can only settle for the next best thing.
"My slave recommends Dorobel Lek Dehun to lead the troops to defend against the enemy."
Fan Wencheng cleared his throat and said loudly
