In the Xuzhou Prefecture, civil and military gathered. In the middle was the new governor Tengjiao. On his left was Huang Degong, the most powerful of the four towns in Jiangbei. On his right were the generals who had just retreated south, led by Wu Kaijie, Li Guodong and others.

Compared with the chaos in history, the Nanming was better. After all, with the Anguo Army's record, civil servants and generals could still command. Therefore, after realizing that the Tartars were heading south, the Nanming immediately adjusted the defense line. Huang Degong's troops entered Xuzhou, while Liu Liangzuo entered Huai'an.

In addition, Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing from Yanzhou were originally going to form a long dragon, relying on the canal as a hub to conserve the land in Jiangbei. However, Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing were done too quickly, and Xuzhou became the front line of the anti-Qing Dynasty.

He Tengjiao was also an important official in the Southern Ming Dynasty. He was in his early fifties, with thin body, prominent cheekbones, sharp eyes, and not as implicit as ordinary literati. In fact, this was the case in the original history. This is famous for being a silly and bold, and often takes risks alone.

He held Huguang for three years and recruited the former subordinates of the Dashun Army. He made great contributions to resist the Qing Dynasty. At the end of the critical moment, he only brought thirty subordinates to chase Li Guo, but he chased him to Xiangtan. Unfortunately, he was traitor Kong Youde and found out the news, and was captured by the Qing army, and finally died tragic.

Of course, this history has not yet been staged, but He Tengjiao has already had many glorious deeds. This man once held a sword and urged Zuo Liangyu not to harm the people. If he didn't listen, he would commit suicide on the spot!

Logically speaking, people like He Tengjiao who don’t like Zuo Liangyu should cooperate with Gu Zhenhua. In fact, Gu Zhenhua also intends to recruit this person to his subordinates.

But firstly because of the Donglin Party, and secondly, the new policy implemented by Gu Zhenhua in Huguang was strongly supported by businessmen, which angered the old man. He Tengjiao actually wanted to find Gu Zhenhua to have a dead Cambodia, but Gu Zhenhua had already returned to Henan.

The governor of Huguang fell on Zhang Jinyan again, He Tengjiao was transferred to Nanzhili, sent to the front line of the anti-Qing Dynasty, and added the title of supervisor.

The lone hero's eyes were bright, he swept over the generals present, coughed lightly and said, "Donalds, the Tartars are heading south, can everyone have a strategy to fight the enemy!"

Huang Degong spoke first: "The general, as the saying goes, soldiers come to block the water and soil, and the Tatars attack in the south, and send troops to resist. The last general is willing to resist the Tatars."

"Okay! He Tengjiao laughed and said, "General Huang is dedicated to serving the country. I am very happy. With a powerful general like General Huang, Xuzhou will definitely be as solid as a god!"

Huang Degong had a chuckled on his face: "Huang didn't dare to say how capable he was, but he was better than someone who could only retreat. After all, no matter how fast he ran, he could not win the battle!"

In Huang Degong's tone, the sarcastic meaning was unconcealed, and the generals suddenly felt particularly unhappy. Especially Zhou Yingjie, he even clenched his fists.

However, Wu Kaijie held it down, and the meaning was very clear, so he could not rest assured.

"Mr. He, what Mr. Huang said is reasonable. As the saying goes, the defeated generals are not worthy of courage. We came to Xuzhou with a shameless face. We thought about whether we could do our best. However, since we had such a brave general as Mr. Huang and the Supervisor personally took charge. It is not worth worrying about coming to the Tartars. We dared to resign and we went back to Henan together!"

Wu Kaijie said as he got up and was about to leave. Zhou Yingjie, Li Guodong and others all followed. He Tengjiao waved his hand and said, "Staff General Wu, please stay!"

To be honest, He Tengjiao did not like the domineering of An Guojun, but he had to admit that among the Ming army, only An Guojun could not be afraid of the Tartars!

He Tengjiao smiled and said, "Staff General Wu, General Huang is joking for a while, don't care. Now the state affairs are the most important. You both are my right and left and right hands, and neither of them is missing."

After Wu Kaijie and the others forced to sit down, He Tengjiao laughed dryly and said, "Don't you all want to do your best to serve the country in the Ming Dynasty? I just submitted a copy to the court, and the court has agreed and is preparing to allocate 500,000 taels of military pay, 300,000 chariots of food and grass, and a number of other military equipment. Everyone thinks there is something missing, so you can tell me that I will do my best!"

When he heard that something was good, Huang Degong and others' eyes lit up.

"General, our troops have recently expanded 20,000 troops and urgently need weapons, food and grass. Moreover, the court has owed us 870,000 taels of military pay and 280,000 harbors of food. Please transfer the things first!"

When He Tengjiao heard this, his face suddenly felt embarrassed. He had to work hard to get some food and salary from the court, but Huang Degong was not enough to give him all.

"This, this, this..." He Tengjiao held it in a while before saying, "General Huang, this food and salary are given to all the soldiers guarding the city. In my opinion, you have more people, so you might as well take 70% of them, and give the remaining 30% to Staff Wu and others?"

When Huang Degong heard this, he immediately curled his lips and said contemptuously: "Sir, as the saying goes, good steel is used on the blade. The elite soldiers and generals of my subordinates are the real main force in the anti-Qing Dynasty. If these people are not full and unable to drink well and cannot defend the city, it may affect the overall situation!"

Huang Degong was threatened by Hong Guoguo. He Tenglong looked very bad, but he had no choice but to face the arrogant general.

At this time, Wu Kaijie suddenly smiled freely and freely: "Sir, since the military pay is urgent, we won't fight! Just give it to General Huang!"

"Oh!" He Tengjiao was surprised. There were not many people who were reasonable these days: "Staff Officer Wu, are you really willing to give up?"

"Hahaha, a real man's words are as good as hell as he can, how could I break my promise!" After Wu Kaijie finished speaking, he looked at Huang Degong with a smile.

"General Huang, I have given you all the food and salary. You can't just eat or work, otherwise it's that..." Wu Kaijie gestured like a turtle!

Huang Degong immediately sneered: "Why is Huang a person who breaks his promise? I have long wanted to fight the Tartars to the death!"

"Okay! General Huang, we will be responsible for the guards of Xicheng and Xiguan, and we will leave the rest to you. When the Tartars come, we will see the truth. Are you willing to bet?"

"What's the difficulty?" Huang Degong suddenly stood up. He was half a head taller than Wu Kaijie. He curled his lips and smiled: "If Mr. Huang can't hold on, I'm willing to obey Duke Ji's orders!"

As he said that, Huang Degong grabbed an arrow and regarded it as a break. Wu Kaijie was not willing to be outdone, and followed Huang Degong and broke an arrow with a grin.

After leaving the conference hall, Hu Maozhen couldn't help but say, "Staff General Wu, you have never been a person who suffers losses. Why did you give the food and salary to Huang Degong? We have more than 10,000 people. Do you want to live by drinking the northwest wind?"

Wu Kaijie suddenly laughed: "General Hu. No matter what else you say, as long as you follow An Guojun, you will see the steamed bun!"

"Just give steamed buns!" Li Benshen smiled exaggeratedly: "Staff Secretary Wu, you can't heal your scars and forget your benefactor, but I carried you out of Jining and only ate steamed buns. Are you worthy of your friends?"

Zhou Yingjie also smiled and said, "It's not just steamed buns, don't worry. This year, Henan's harvest is a big harvest. I can guarantee that everyone has steamed buns and noodles! Duke Ji has arranged manpower, and the food may have been shipped!"

After hearing this news, these people finally put their hearts in their stomachs. With Wu Kaijie, everyone arrived in Xicheng together to prepare for defense matters.

Along the way, Wu Kaijie also smiled and said, "This Huang Degong is competitive and not broad-minded. But there is one thing. He is at least loyal to the Ming Dynasty and will not surrender to the Tartars. Let him take advantage of it. He then uses bets to force him, which is nothing more than just let him do more!"

Zhou Yingjie said: "I'm afraid this idea is not what you think? Why do I think it looks like the style of a prince?"

"So what? Is it embarrassing to be the sound tube of the Duke's gutter?" Wu Kaijie looked slanted forty-five degrees, as if I despise you.

As soon as they arrived at the station, before they had time to rest, someone suddenly ran in and said breathlessly: "Mr. Wu, the Duke of the State has sent someone to deliver food!"

When Wu Kaijie heard this, he hurriedly stood up and went out to greet him with everyone. As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he looked up and saw a carriage that could not be seen at first sight, one after another, and the number was amazing. Wherever the carriage passed, there were deep ruts left, and it was obvious that it was not light!

As they were far away, the person in charge of leading the convoy kept waving at Wu Kaijie.

"Brother, it's great that you're still alive. I've prepared a stack of yellow paper and want to burn it for you!"

"Fart!" Wu Kaijie waved the whip in his hand and sneered: "Is itchy? I dare to be happy with my brother? I believe it or not, I will suck you!"

"Don't fight, don't fight!" Wu Huanju smiled and said, "I'm ordered to send you food. Let your brothers help you quickly!"

Hu Maozhen and the others also came over and asked with a smile: "So many cars, how much food has they sent?"

Wu Huanju smiled and said, "I have sent 100,000 dan of white flour for the time being. Mr. Gu said that he would ensure that everyone can eat for half a year. In addition, he also sent everyone 50,000 kilograms of bacon, 100,000 kilograms of salt, 10,000 sets of new military uniforms, 3,000 waist knives, 2,000 muskets, and 100,000 kilograms of gunpowder!"

Listening to Wu Huanju's words, Hu Maozhen and the others' eyes suddenly burst out.

"Hahaha, Duke Ji is really generous and thoughtful!"

Wu Huanju said: "That's natural. The Duke of the State asked us to send us a powerful weapon!"

As he said that, Wu Huanju led Wu Kaijie to the front of the carriage. After lifting it, it was covered with wooden barrels. When Wu Kaijie opened it, he saw that it was covered with gray powder.

Li Benshen didn't know him yet, so he couldn't help but say, "Why is this flour gray? Can it be eaten?"

"If you have a meal, I can guarantee that you will be with the next meal of the King of Hell!" Wu Kaijie taught the buns of local buns and said, "This is called cement, which is used to repair the city wall. After mixing it with the stone sand, it will solidify in a few hours. It is as hard as a stone. We rely on this thing to guard northern Henan!"

Wu Kaijie finally smiled on his face: "The Duke of the State has also brought the cement, so we will be sure to guard Xuzhou!"

Hu Maozhen smiled and said, "That's great. Since Staff Wu's food has arrived, let the brothers eat dumplings and start working tomorrow!"

In an instant, everyone was busy. Those who bought meat, those who bought vegetables, and those who bought vegetables started rolling out the fillings. Just in the evening, the aroma of dumplings drifted far away, and Huang Degong's subordinates couldn't help swallowing their saliva...
