Chapter 245 The phoenix that falls is not a chicken
"General Duan, you have misinterpreted the holy will. The emperor's will is to kill Mandahai alone, not to kill the entire army. Kill this beast, not to kill a group of gold." Zhang Jiayu said with a smile.
"General Duan, if it weren't for Uncle Zhang's stopping you and I would have almost made a big mistake." Li Yuanyin also said.
"Yes, yes, thank you, uncle." Duan Xing then understood what the emperor meant, and he hurriedly bowed to thank him as Zhang Jiayu said.
"No need to do this. You and I are both ministers of the emperor. I am the emperor's minister. I should share the worries of the emperor. Lord Zhang, please sit down. When the surrender is over, I will talk to Lord Zhang." Zhang Jiayu said to Zhang Kedao.
"My uncle please let me take care of myself. The officials will go to Anxibo's army to pass the imperial edict, so I will say goodbye." After Zhang Keda finished speaking, he bowed his hand.
...
The Qing soldiers surrendered in line, and the commander Mandahai came out with his personal soldiers and came to Zhang Jiayu.
"You are Mandahai?" Zhang Jiayu asked coldly.
"Yes, yes, slaves are Mandahai." Mandahai lowered his head and whispered.
Zhang Jiayu looked up and down and saw that he was wearing four balls of five-clawed golden dragons. His hem seemed a little short and his body was a little tight, as if it didn't fit much.
Zhang Jiayu is very cautious about whether he is Mandahai. If he captures a fake one and lets the real escape, he will make a big joke.
Seeing that his clothes didn't fit well, Zhang Jiayu felt a little suspicious, and when he saw him calling himself a "slave", he felt even more strange.
According to the Qing system, the prince was the lord of a banner. Who could he call him a slave? Except for the emperor, the empress dowager, and the queen, others were not qualified to call him a "slave".
In theory, this has become the title habit of Mandahai, how can this be wrong? Unless the "slave" becomes the habit of proclaiming one, they will blurt out.
Is this Mandahai in front of you fake?
I had a question in my mind, and the more I looked at Zhang Jiayu, the more I felt something was wrong.
As a prince, Mandahai must have a little princely demeanor. Why doesn’t it look like it at all? Could it be that he has become a surrendered general and has lost the long-term demeanor he has developed?
Zhang Jiayu was still pondering, but was annoyed Duan Xing.
"Bang!"
Duan Xing took a step forward, grabbed Mandahai's neck collar, slapped it, and cursed angrily: "Mandahai, I'll wipe your grandma! You have today too. Where did you go when you asked Li Dashuai to walk barefoot on the ball? Where did you go?!"
Duan Xing's palm was filled with resentment and his strength was enough, and Mandahai's left cheek suddenly rose.
"Kill him, kill him!"
Li Zifang and other mountain troops surrounded the side and clamored in anger.
"I'll chop you up!"
Duan Xing, who was exclaimed by his brothers, pulled out the short blade on his body and would end Mandahai's life.
But Mandahai's eyes were closed, looking like he was waiting to die.
Seeing this, Zhang Jiayu shook his head and said to himself: "Duan Xing is so reckless that he will not be able to become a great man in the future."
"Slow down, General Duan, and do it slowly." Zhang Jiayu hurriedly stopped.
"Uncle Zhang, the emperor has issued an order, what else are you stopping?" Duan Xing asked.
"General Duan, the emperor's will indeed kill him, but since he has been arrested, he has to ask for an order to kill him again." Zhang Jiayu said.
"General Duan, don't be impulsive. What Master said is very true. If Mandahai is killed in the chaos, he will be killed. But after all, he will surrender. If he wants to kill him, he must ask for an order." Li Yuanyin echoed.
When Duan Xing heard this, he quickly put down the knife.
He didn't understand the twists and turns here, but he was more convinced of Li Yuanyin, so his words should not be wrong.
Besides, if you leave it to the emperor for disposal, what else can he worry about? The emperor is not a sour literati like Zhang Jiayu. He is the most protective of his son and will not spare Mandahai easily.
Zhang Jiayu ordered people to look at Mandahai, and then interrogated his personal soldiers, the main generals, and they all said that this person was indeed Mandahai.
Zhang Jiayu had no choice but to order the army to station on the spot, write a memorial, and send someone to Guangzhou quickly.
...
Zhu Youlang read Zhang Jiayu's memorial and said that Mandahai had surrendered, but he was not sure of the authenticity of Mandahai. He also asked for an order to deal with the surrendered soldiers and generals.
Zhu Youlang thought about it and told Gu Yanwu: "Issued an order, the imperial guards, the mountain troops returned to Guangzhou, the central troops returned to defend Ganzhou, and the surrendered troops were first taken into custody in Ganzhou, and all Mandahai and his personal soldiers were brought back to Guangzhou by Li Yuanyin to wait for trial."
After Zhu Youlang finished speaking, Gu Yanwu stood in front of the next book case and waved it.
Zhu Youlang was nine points satisfied with the Battle of Shangyou.
Before the imperial edict of dispatching troops arrived, Zhang Jiayu immediately judged Mandahai's strategic intention and quickly made tactical arrangements to win time to block Mandahai's escape route.
The decision he made was very timely. If there was a slight delay, the Mandahai would enter the sea. Although Zhu Youlang firmly believed that he would definitely completely annihilate this enemy in the end, it would take a long time and increase the cost of money and food, and the people along the way would suffer.
Zhang Jiayu, who had never shown military talent, let Zhu Youlang see the correctness of letting him be the marshal of the Central Army, and he would also make the name of the Central Army so that others could not talk.
In Zhu Youlang's view, the lost point was the matter of Zhang Jiayu mobilizing the imperial guards.
Although this was a war requirement, Zhu Youlang was not very satisfied.
In his opinion, Zhang Jiayu and Li Yuanyin were not very suitable for both.
The Imperial Guard is his own garrison. Will anyone make use of this matter in the future? Isn’t it easy to find a high-sounding excuse that Li Yuanyin cannot refuse?
If you are afraid of disaster, you will be afraid of Xiao Wall.
This hole must be blocked.
...
On March 20, the Ming army on the south side of Jiangxi reported victory.
The pair of partners Ma Bao and Bai Wenxuan defeated Ji'an in one fell swoop. What was even more surprising was that Ma Bao personally led his troops to the city and slashed He Luohui with a knife, making great contributions to Ji'an's successful conquest.
On the same day, the right army also successfully conquered Fuzhou, and IELTS committed suicide.
The northern line Luke Dehun received the news and immediately crossed the river from Jiujiang and retreated to Jiangbei. Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren took advantage of the opportunity to attack from the city, hurt him severely, and recovered Jiujiang.
At this point, the only Qing soldiers in Jiangnan were left with Nanzhili Boluo. In addition, the entire Jiangnan area was liberated.
...
On March 22, the Imperial Army returned to Guangzhou. Li Yuanyin asked Yang Yuan and Chen Shihao to take over the defense. He and Duan Xing immediately escorted Mandahai to the palace to face the king.
After Li Yuanyin and Duan Xing received a ceremony, Zhu Youlang called out and then ordered Manda kelp to come to the hall.
As soon as Mandahai entered the hall, Zhu Youlang immediately concluded that this person was fake, and Zhang Jiayu's suspicion was not wrong.
It's very simple. The prince in front of him has no aura at all.
Not to mention aura, you can't even have the minimum grace.
When I came to the hall, my eyes were wandering, as if I was observing something at all times.
As a prince with a respected status, Mandahai will not shrink so much.
Isn’t the phoenix that has fallen into the gear still a phoenix?
