Chapter 129 Huang Degong Goes North

After receiving this order, Huang Degong was naturally overjoyed.

But Gao Jie felt uncomfortable.

From which aspect, I should be ahead of Huang Degong.

But now we don’t have the chance to go to the battlefield yet, and Huang Degong has already gone to the battlefield first. What’s going on?

In fact, if Gao Jie had a brain, he would understand Zhu Cixuan’s arrangement after thinking for a little while.

No matter when it comes, Nanjing City and the surrounding areas are crucial.

Because this is Zhu Cixuan's base camp, when Zhu Cixuan led his troops to the front line, he did not lead the strongest army, but a little slower one.

Take the three main forces under Zhu Cixuan as an example. Hu Qiang's army should have the strongest combat effectiveness, but Zhu Cixuan left this army behind and instead brought Li Guodong's army up.

Let’s talk about the army adapted by Gao Jie and others.

Zhu Ciyang also found someone to see that Gao Jie's army had the strongest combat effectiveness. Huang Degong's army resigned, so Zhu Ciyang asked Huang Degong to take the army to the front line, but he was still worried about his old nest.

On the surface, Nanjing City has been liberated for so long, so nothing should be done.

But if you think about it carefully, Nanjing City is not out of danger yet.

To the west of Nanjing is Zuo Liangyu's territory. The old boy's mercenaries were 200,000, and his attitude towards the court was a bit obscure.

So if we are not prepared for him, we may suffer a loss, which is also the biggest threat to the court.

Although Zheng Zhilong has submitted his report, various acceptance work is underway, so Nanjing City must not have any gaps.

If there is a little difference, the entire southern half of the day may change color, so even if Zhu Cilang wants to launch an army to fight the north, he must first consolidate his nest so that he can stand invincible.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Cilang mobilized Huang Degong's 40,000 troops.

Among the 40,000 troops, 30,000 were the new army trained by Huang Degong, and the remaining ten thousand were the ten thousand troops led by Liu Liangzuo.

Among Liu Liangzuo's army, only one thousand people changed into new equipment, and the rest were the original equipment used.

This is because I have to go to the battlefield, otherwise only 500 people could change their clothes. What is the reason? Liu Liangzuo himself also understands it very well.

In the past, I was swaying from side to side. If it weren't for the general trend, I'm afraid this guy wouldn't surrender to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so it's natural to give you this treatment now.

Don’t blame others for not being nice enough to you. First think about how you did things before, and you will know what the situation is now.

Although Huang Degong was also careless and offended many people in the court, his loyalty to His Royal Highness was even if Liu Liangzuo beat him.

So his 30,000 soldiers were armed with revolvers in their waists and muskets on their shoulders.

After saying goodbye to Nanjing City Gate, Huang Degong led the army to the north in a mighty manner.

"General Gao must not be anxious. His Highness the Crown Prince is very talented and has the chance to show his skills in the future."

Ye Yun saw the sorrow on Gao Jie's face, and hurriedly spoke to comfort him.

Although Ye Yun became a monk and followed Zhu Cilang halfway, he also knew Zhu Cilang more than these people, so he naturally knew that he would not have the chance to go to the battlefield in the future.

"General Ye, I, Lao Gao, is a rough man. Among the four towns in Jiangbei, I am the first to surrender to His Royal Highness. I can express my loyalty to His Royal Highness. I am the most hardworking in training the army. Why can I get this guy's turn?"

On the walls of Nanjing, Gao Jie couldn't figure it out...

Although he is a rough man, among these generals, he is much better at asking about strategies and cultural knowledge than those of Huang Degong.

But why did His Royal Highness ask this person to lead his troops there? Could it be that he can't do it?

"General Gao, please be careful..."

As a senior general of the court, it is okay to complain casually at home.

The city walls of Nanjing City are so important. There are dozens of soldiers stationed around them. If this is spread, just a charge of being dissatisfied with the Lord can send Gao Jie to the Heavenly Prison.

After hearing Ye Yun's words, Gao Jie was also sweating. He couldn't help it just now. He looked at the soldiers around him and didn't look here. Only then did he feel relieved.

"Baying north and stationed in Nanjing are both the kindness of the king."

Ye Yun patted Gao Jie on the shoulder, and then took his people down the city wall.

As for the rest, let Gao Jie think about it yourself. Is it better for Huang Degong or Gao Jie better for him? As long as his brain is not mentally retarded, he can think clearly in a short while.

As colleagues, we can only talk about this to this point, and we can’t go deeper into the rest.

Besides, when Huang Degong's side, Li Guodong's army set out, he also saw him off by the river. Only after walking twenty miles out of Nanjing City could the obvious gap between the two armies.

That is, compared with Li Guodong's army, our army is not a little bit worse.

Huang Degong actually knew this, but he just didn't know where to change it.

Actually, this has something to do with the foundation.

Most of Li Guodong's army was from the Shenji Camp in the capital, and some were recruited locally.

This part of the army was originally elite, but later followed His Royal Highness to the south, which was also a training for them along the way.

Looking at Huang Degong's army, some of them started with him, and there were even some bandits in it. How could these people be compared with Li Guodong's subordinates?

Many people can't stand the hard work during training.

Huang Degong sighed, and he always blamed himself for his lack of strict requirements.

However, he also asked both sides to practice. No matter how slow our army is, facing these troops holding swords, guns and sticks, they can still achieve absolute victory. This time they can show their faces when they go to the battlefield.

After a few days of rapid march, the army quickly arrived in Yangzhou, then changed the ship and continued northward, without stopping here for a long time.

His Royal Highness's imperial edict has been delivered, and they are asked to speed up their journey, and reinforcements from the north are also coming.

The Qing cavalry was indeed very fast, but this time they still had infantry, so they dragged their marching speed.
