At the critical moment, it was Queen Gao who spoke, "Generals, please listen to what Mr.
Gu has to say.
So the generals shut their mouths.
Although Queen Gao was a female and had no soldiers or power, she was the queen of Dashun.
Even though Li Zicheng was dead, his power was still there, and none of the generals dared to be rude to Queen Gao.
"Everyone," Gu Junen saw that everyone had closed their mouths, and then he spoke slowly.
Although he disdained to conspire with these people, Gu Junen himself was trapped in Shunying and couldn't extricate himself.
For the sake of his own wealth and life, and for the revenge in his heart, he also I had to make plans for it.
"Everyone, I just said that the situation is dangerous.
It is impossible to retain the Dashun court in this situation.
You all know this well.
If you want to destroy yourself, just pretend that I didn't say anything."
Gu Junen glanced at everyone coldly.
"Mr.
Gu, my brothers were impatient and were rude to you just now.
Don't be offended.
Please tell me what we should do next."
Yuan Zongdi persuaded nicely.
At this time, this remnant of the shun army urgently needs someone to point it out. direction.
"I just said that we can only choose between the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The Manchu and Qing Dynasties are a foreign race, and their hearts must be different if they are not our race.
They also defeated our Dashun court.
The reason why we fell into this situation is because of our worship.
Given.
So I think everyone is definitely not willing to surrender to the Manchus.
Then, there is only one way to seek refuge in Ming Dynasty.
We are originally from the Ming Dynasty.
We were forced by life to embark on the road of rebellion.
Now that the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are powerful and the Ming Dynasty is weak, our surrender will just help the Ming Dynasty to contain the Manchu Qing Dynasties.
I believe that the Ming Emperor will accept us happily, and you can also use this to keep your glory and wealth. " Gu Junen said slowly.
"But, Mr.
Gu, will the Ming Dynasty accept us?
Will they send us to the battlefield to fight the Qing soldiers?"
Taiping Bo Wu Ruyi asked timidly.
"As a soldier, you will naturally have to fight, and you should follow the instructions of the imperial court when it comes to eating food and paying.
Besides, Dashun was destroyed in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, and His Majesty also died because of it.
Even if the Qing Dynasty does not attack us, we will still fight them desperately. ."
Yuan Zongdi interrupted Wu Ruyi.
"This is exactly the truth, but you don't have to worry too much.
Although we have taken refuge in the Ming court, it does not mean that we cannot negotiate terms with the Ming court.
Try to maintain the independence of our Shun army and protect the queen.
It is best to have a territory that belongs to us. , which is a prerequisite for negotiations.”
Gu Junen's words completely relieved everyone's hearts.
Yes, if we can keep the army, have food and salary provided by the Ming Dynasty, and have our own territory, where can we find such a good thing?
But some people doubt whether the Ming court will agree.

"Mr.
Gu is right, we listen to you."
Yuan Zongdi said decisively, "But please let me know how we should proceed."
If we can maintain the independence of the Shun Army through negotiation and secure the chance to make a comeback, what if we temporarily join the Ming Dynasty?
"This matter is simple.
Changsha is more than two hundred miles to the south.
He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang in the Ming Dynasty, is there.
We only need to send people to Changsha to negotiate with He Tengjiao."
Gu Jun'en said, "But in order to increase our momentum, in order to let He Tengjiao Don’t underestimate us, it’s best to let Hao Yaoqi advance and retreat together with us.”
Excluding Hao Yaoqi's troops, there are currently only 70,000 troops in Pingjiang.
Adding Hao Yaoqi, there are 150,000.
It is obvious which one can get the support of the Ming court.
No one has any objection to Gu Junen's proposal.
"But Hao Yaoqi is very arrogant now and may not be able to listen to us."
Tian Jianxiu said bitterly.
"So I also ask the Queen to issue an order to reward Hao Yaoqi.
I am willing to go to Xianning in person to persuade Hao Yaoqi to obey the Queen's instructions."
Gu Junen bowed to Queen Gao.
"Ehou, General Quan, Wuchang Jiedu Envoy, it is really a great gesture."
Looking at the simple imperial edict in his hand, Hao Yaoqi sighed, "But I would like to ask Mr.
Gu for advice.
His Majesty has passed away.
This Where did the imperial edict come from?”
"Although His Majesty has passed away, the Queen is still there.
When the Queen is here, Dashun is still here.
This imperial edict was given by the Queen.
Why, General Hao, are you unwilling to obey it?"
Gu Junen said calmly.
"Hmph, don't tell lies in front of real people.
With Li Zicheng gone, Dashun will fall apart.
Mr.
Gu, you should just tell your purpose directly."
Before Hao Yaoqi spoke, Liu Neng said disdainfully.
"Oh, I don't know who this is."
Gu Junen looked at Liu Neng in surprise.
Being able to speak before Hao Yaoqi showed that this person was of high status, but Gu Junen had never seen this person before.
"My Excellency, Liu Neng, is the deputy general under Chen Yue, the Marquis of Pingnan and the Governor of Jiangbei.
I have met Mr.
Gu."
Liu Neng looked at Gu Junen with a sneer.
"Here" Gu Junen took a breath of air.
The reason why he came to Hao Yaoqi's army was to try his best to persuade Hao Yaoqi to remain united with Pingjiang's Shunjun so that the Shunjun would not have to split.
Because Gu Junen knew that others could surrender to the Ming Dynasty, such as Tian Jianxiu and Yuan Zongdi.
They had soldiers and generals.
In order to fight against the Manchu Qing Dynasty and prevent the internal chaos from continuing as before, the Ming Dynasty would be happy to appease them and then drive They fought against the Qing army.

But he couldn't do it, because the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty would not tolerate a rebellious scholar alongside them, so even if he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, Gu Junen himself would have no future.
However, Gu Junen was unwilling to surrender to the Manchus like Niu Jinxing.
He did not want to sacrifice his life for the Tartars who invaded the Central Plains and suffer an eternal infamy.
He was already a rebel and could never be a traitor again.
Gu Junen, who was born as a scholar, still had this integrity. some.
The Shun Army had no choice but to seek refuge with the Ming Dynasty, but it had to maintain its independence so that it could develop and grow in the future and have a chance to turn the situation around.
Gu Junen was always unwilling to give in, always thinking of overthrowing Ming Dynasty and showing off his ambitions.
But now, Hao Yaoqi has become a big variable in his plan.
Hao Yaoqi frantically gathered the Shun Army and defeated it.
His troops already accounted for half of the Shun Army, and he was on the verge of breaking with the main force of the Shun Army.
Therefore, Gu Junen took the trouble to come and persuade Hao Yaoqi to obey the orders of the main force of Pingjiang Shunjun.
Who knew that Liu Nenglai would appear halfway, disrupting his plan.
Hao Yaoqi clearly listened to Liu Neng's instigation and made the decision to forcibly gather the defeated Shun army to strengthen its power.
How should I persuade myself now?
"General Hao decided to send troops to avenge Shun Emperor Li Zicheng.
I wonder if Mr.
Gu came here for this reason."
Liu Neng preemptively asked on behalf of Hao Yaoqi.
Seeing Liu Neng and Gu Junen facing each other directly, Hao Yaoqi smiled and stood aside to watch the excitement.
Both of them had plans for him now, and Hao Yaoqi wanted to see whose chips were more attractive.
"Revenge, what crazy words are you talking about?
Our army has recently been defeated.
We have insufficient armor, low morale, and lack of food and pay.
How can we fight against the Manchus?
General Hao, you must not listen to this person's deception.
He clearly wants you to take advantage of the soldiers of the army."
His life gave Wuhu Ming Army hope."
Gu Junen anxiously said to Hao Yaoqi.
"Oh, I wonder where Mr.
Gu wants General Hao's troops to go when he comes here?"
Liu Neng asked with a smile.
The current situation is very clear.
The Shun army is confined to Pingjiang in Xianning.
It has lost its base and has no food supplies.
The people in the south of the Yangtze River are relatively wealthy and have no problem eating.
Naturally, they will not expect the Shun army to lead them in rebellion.
They regard these people as thieves and robbers, so the Shun Army has no mass base here.
In this situation, there was no other way out except to seek refuge with the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Neng wanted to see what different options Gu Junen, a strategist in the army, could give.
"This" Gu Junen was speechless in response to Liu Neng's question, because he clearly wanted to lead his army to join the Ming Dynasty.
The difference is that he wants Hao Yaoqi to obey the instructions of Pingjiang's main force, and everyone can form a rope.
But now that Liu Neng is here, Hao Yaoqi has clearly been deceived into using Shunjun as a bargaining chip to surrender.
How can he listen to his words again?
Just as Gu Junen was thinking nervously about his words, a Shun sergeant ran in.
After saluting Hao Yaoqi, he said that several people had come outside the camp and claimed to be Liu Neng's subordinates.

"Let them in."
Hao Yaoqi said with a smile.
The Ming army sent people to find Liu Neng.
Something must have happened.
Hao Yaoqi was very interested in knowing.
Soon the newcomers were introduced to the camp.
They were the subordinates Liu Neng had sent to take the heads of Cheng Jiu and Li Zicheng to Nanchang.
After Liu Neng confessed to Hao Yaoqi, he went over to them and chatted with them in a low voice, and soon a smile appeared on his face.
"Hahaha" Liu Neng suddenly laughed heartily, causing Hao Yaoqi and Gu Junen to turn their heads in surprise.
"Brother Hao knows that just over ten days ago, my Marquis flooded seven armies in Yangzhou and wiped out Duduo's 100,000 Qing troops.
Now, the Marquis has led his troops to Wuhu and is fighting against the Qing troops of the Azige tribe. , wiped out in the first battle We have destroyed the Manchu navy, killed tens of thousands of enemies, and sunk 300 enemy ships.
Seeing that our army is about to annihilate the Qing army, the Ming Dynasty is in sight.
General Hao, the situation is so clear, you must not miss this opportunity again."
After Liu Neng laughed, he said to Hao Yaoqi in a deep voice.
The situation was so favorable to Ming that he no longer allowed Hao Yaoqi to hesitate and wanted to make the final showdown.
"Ah" Hao Yaoqi and Gu Junen were both shocked after hearing what Liu Neng said.
"Is what Brother Liu said true?"
Hao Yaoqi asked eagerly.
Ever since Liu Neng arrived in Wuchang, Hao Yaoqi had actually made up his mind to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
In the past few days, he had tried his best to gather the defeated troops of the Shun army, and he did not hesitate to quarrel with the generals of the Shun army.
Firstly, it was for ambition and future, and secondly Gu Nian and Chen surpassed the little friendship they had in the past.
At present, Chen Yue has defeated the Qing army from the east and reached Wuhu, which means that the Ming Dynasty has turned a corner.
This makes Hao Yaoqi happy, but also a little disappointed in his heart, because it means that his role is much smaller.
Hao Yaoqi was surprised and happy, but Gu Junen was completely frightened.
If what Liu Neng said was true, it meant that the Shun army had fewer opportunities to benefit from it.
Once the Ming army freed up its hands, they would definitely have to deal with these rebels. thief.
"Of course it's true.
How can I lie about such a thing?
Our Pingnan army is now gathered outside Wuhu City to fight against the Qing army.
My subordinates are here to tell me this."
Liu Neng said with a smile.
"Send troops immediately to attack Jiujiang and cut off the Manchu Tatar retreat," Hao Yaoqi said immediately.
"Jiujiang is guarded by thousands of Qing troops.
It will be difficult to conquer.
Mr.
Gu is very resourceful and decisive.
Brother Hao, why not let Mr.
Gu accompany the army so that he can advise us."
Liu Neng looked at Gu Junen, who was standing aside, and suggested to Hao Yaoqi with ill intentions.
After defeating the Manchus, the Ming Dynasty must wipe out the invaders who fled to Huguang and the traitors in Sichuan, so that they can safely expedition to the north and regain their old lands.
This Gu Junen is the only remaining strategist among the intruders.
He must not be allowed to join the intruders again, just take the opportunity to capture him.
"Of course, taking Jiujiang and defeating the Manchus requires Mr.
Gu's advice."
Hao Yaoqi was stunned for a moment and immediately agreed.

If Gu Junen could help with ideas, he would naturally be very happy.
As a result, while Gu Junen was still in a daze, the two of them had already decided where he was going, which made Gu Junen react with shock and anger but also helpless.
Hao Yaoqi immediately ordered the entire army to break out of camp and head northeast along the Fuchun River.
At present, the army led by Pingnan Marquis Chen Yue is in a stalemate with the Qing army.
It is a good time to send carbon dioxide in the snow.
As long as Jiujiang can be captured and the Qing army's retreat is cut off, the Qing army in Wuhu will be defeated in shock.
Hao Yaoqi could still see this clearly.
And he also knew that once Chen Yue defeated the Qing army, the nature of his defection would be completely different.
To seek refuge with Chen Yue before the Qing army was defeated was because he missed his old friendship, and to seek refuge with Chen Yue after the Qing army was defeated was to try to curry favor with Chen Yue because he was gaining momentum.
Hao Yaoqi could still measure this.
So even though Gu Junen secretly tried to persuade him a lot, Hao Yaoqi completely ignored him.
However, although Hao Yaoqi had many soldiers, most of them were broken troops that had just been gathered together.
It was really difficult to use them to fight against the Manchu elite.
After all, there were nearly ten thousand Qing soldiers stationed in Jiujiang.
So during the march, Hao Yaoqi discussed with Liu Neng and Gu Junen how to attack Jiujiang.
Although he was very disappointed with Hao Yaoqi's behavior, thinking about the safety of the more than 80,000 soldiers in the army, and considering that he was among them, Gu Junen had to pinch his nose and give Hao Yaoqi an idea.
That is to send troops disguised as green camp soldiers to falsely open the gates of Jiujiang City, and the army takes advantage of the situation and rushes into the city.
"Wonderful, so wonderful," Hao Yaoqi praised, clapped his legs.
The soldiers in the Green Camp had recently surrendered to the Manchu Tatars, and they were Ming troops not long ago.
Now their clothes were all the same as before, except that they had changed their flags.
There were already many surrendered troops from the Ming Army in the Shun Army.
They were all dressed up and had similar weapons.
As long as they displayed the flag of the Green Camp, there wouldn't be much difference at all.
As for the flags of the Green Battalion, they did exist in the Shun Army.
A few days ago, Hao Yaoqi heard that a Green Battalion was collecting grain nearby, and immediately led his troops to rush over and surrounded and annihilated the Green Battalion.
Therefore, Hao Yaoqi mobilized his close men to pretend to be green soldiers who were collecting grain, pushing the grain carts and carrying the grain in front.
He personally led 10,000 elites to follow closely, and the other troops were composed of close men such as Lu Dayou and Wang Jincai.
Move forward slowly
