After Wu Zheng recovered Yingtian Prefecture, he threatened Jiangbei. The Qing court originally wanted to purify the two guards, but when he saw the current situation of the two guards, he felt cold. At this time, people's life expectancy was generally short. In fact, it was time to go home to retire. In other words, the two guards needed a major blood replacement. At the same time, the military equipment that had been rusted long ago also needed to be replaced again. For the Qing court, the financial resources required was better than reorganizing a new army.

This is also the reason why the Qing court abandoned the two guards and transferred Zu Dabi and his Han army to station Huai'an City, which was to use Zu Dabi to assist in the defense of Fengyang.

Li Yong and Ma Shiying contacted Luo Zhonglin, and then talked about Mao Xiang and took the water route to Yongcheng.

But unlike the previous plan, Mao Xiang actually proposed to surrender Wu Pingwei first, rather than Yingchuanwei, whom he was familiar with.

Mao Xiang asserted that as long as people arrive in Bozhou, they will be able to make Wu Pingwei surrender without any effort.

The final result was the same, and Wupingwei almost made a decision.

On the contrary, Li Yong thought that Yingchuanwei, the most relaxed one, took a lot of money.

It’s not that Mao Xiang could not touch his distant relative Xiong Anyuan (the deputy general of Yingchuanwei, who was actually in power), but that Prince Ying of the Qing Dynasty had made an move westward before, and the army reached more than a hundred miles west of Mengcheng, which also caused a partial army of about a thousand people to stay in Mengcheng, which made it difficult for Yingchuanwei to change his flag like Wupingwei.

Yingchuan Guard has nominal force of 6,000, but in fact, no more than 2,000 people can fight, which sounds like twice that of the Mengcheng defenders, but if they really want to fight, I'm afraid... the result is really hard to say.

Let’s put it this way, just take the sword of Yingchuan Guard soldier and chop it on a pork rib. It will definitely be one or two pieces, but it is obvious that it is not a bone, but a knife that becomes two pieces.

In a dilemma, Mao Xiang came up with an idea.

He asked the tailor in Yingzhou City to make thousands of military uniforms with black cloth. It was obvious that this was infringement, but the effect was really good.

When these thousands of "Northern Expedition Army" shouted and suddenly appeared thirty miles north of Mengcheng, more than a thousand Qing troops in Mengcheng immediately abandoned the city and fled, scattering like birds and beasts.

There was no even an encounter between the two, so the Yingchuan guards "recovered" Mengcheng without bloodshed.

So, if we say that the two guards have been surrendered so easily, the news should have been sent to Xuzhou long ago.

The problem is that Mao Xiang's distant relative Xiong Anyuan changed his words at this time and he had to make the conditions.

What does it mean to hold troops to be respectful? This guy is.

The distant relatives return to distant relatives, and the accounts must be distinguished. After Xiong Anyuan easily obtained Mengcheng, the lion spoke loudly and demanded that the Northern Expedition Army be organized.

Isn't this a joke?

Even with the 2,000 people in Yingchuan Guard, who could be reorganized into a Northern Expedition Army?

Even if Ma Shiying received the authorization of Wu Zheng, he would not dare to respond. You know, Wu Pingwei was watching in the north. If two Northern Expedition Army suddenly appeared in the Fengyang Mansion half of the mansion, wouldn’t it be funny?

Ma Shiying naturally refused to agree, and the two sides stalemate came to a standoff.

But soon Xiong Anyuan changed his words, why?

When Ajige heard that Mengcheng was "scamd" and naturally refused to give up, so he transferred a team of 3,000 people to counterattack Mengcheng.

OK, the 80,000 Han troops in Xuzhou are actually not very powerful, but Yingchuanwei doesn’t take it in their eyes.

Xiong Anyuan was "hard" and in order not to be underestimated by Ma Shiying, Li Yong mustered up the courage to lead the entire army out of the city to fight.

I don’t want to... In just one incense stick, Yingchuanwei was beaten so hard that he didn’t know the north.

After 40% of the casualties, Xiong Anyuan fled back to Mengcheng with more than a thousand Yingchuan Guards. At this time, he changed his words and was willing to surrender to the King of Wu as agreed.

But the Qing army has captured the city.

As a last resort, Mao Xiang discussed with Ma Shiying and others and abandoned Mengcheng and returned to Yingzhou.

Originally, Yingchuanwei might not be able to escape the ending of being pursued and destroyed. Fortunately, at this time, the negotiations between Yixing Dynasty and the Qing court began.

Ajige had no intention of fighting with the Northern Expedition Army in his heart. Once Dorgon died, his strength increased. If he wanted to occupy a higher position in the court, he naturally had to have capital. Conserving his strength became his most urgent need, which allowed Yingchuan Guard to return to Yingzhou smoothly and survive.

After that, the news of the two guards' changing flags was sent to Xuzhou, becoming one of the tools for Wu Zheng to "ranspeckle" from Suksaha and Sony.

"Please forgive me for your crime." Ma Shiying knelt down.

Wu Zheng looked at Ma Shiying quietly, not saying anything.

Li Yong did not say a word.

Ma Shiying bowed his head and said, "I promised the title of Wupingwei Commander Chen Mingzhen, a guard... for the crime of being good at it, please punish the prince."

Li Yong then bent down and said, "This is the student's idea. If the prince punishes Lord Ma... please punish him together with the student."

Everyone around Wu Zheng knew that Wu Zheng had no interest in government affairs, but military power was Wu Zheng's rebellion.

The commander of the Northern Expedition Army's guard, this position is too heavy.

Wu Zheng laughed, and suddenly laughed.

"Since I have given you a golden seal, this promise is my fault... Why are you guilty?" Wu Zheng shook his sleeves casually and said, "Get up... Tell me about Chen Mingzhen, at least I must know that he can't stand the position of commander of the Northern Expedition Army."

Ma Shiying looked up at Wu Zheng with a hint of surprise. Li Yong suddenly smiled and said, "Even if there are all Bole in this world, I'm afraid I can't recognize Chen Mingzhen's horse."

Wu Zheng heard this and smiled slightly, "What does this mean?"

Li Yong said: "I'm afraid that this is the case if you can command Wu Pingwei to this level."

Wu Zheng frowned and said, "But he chose the right path after all... With this alone, he can get what he wants."

Li Yong was slightly stunned, "What the prince means...it's only use?"

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "It's not all... it should be said that only virtue is used."

"But students think that only by virtue can one help the prince achieve great achievements."

"A wise man has no virtue, and he will be even more misfortune."

Li Yong thought a little deeply and bowed, "The students have been taught."

Wu Zheng smiled, "Li Yong, although I am flattering, you are too heavy ink and you are obsessed with it."

Li Yong's face turned slightly red, and he lowered his head and said, "The prince is blamed."

"Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"The student said before that he would follow the prince as his aide."

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "You have made great contributions to this trip...you are accurate."

"Thank you, Prince." Li Yong knelt down and said, "I have another request."

"speak."

"Please enable Mao Pijiang."

"Mao Xiang?"

“That’s right.”

Wu Zheng fell silent. He had no dislike for Mao Xiang, but on the contrary, he had a good impression of him.

In fact, Wu Zheng had a good impression of every anti-Qing person, such as Zheng Sen.

But Wu Zheng also had a sense of caution towards these great scholars in history.

The icing on the cake and praise of merits is far from that time.

But the energy of these great scholars is huge and often affects the preferences and hatreds of the people in the area.

If you use such a person, the consequences will be like a double-edged sword, and hurting others and yourself.
