Now that the prefect has been hijacked, there is naturally no turning back.

Xue Lu and the others could only be ruthless and go one way to the dark.

However, with Pei Yuanshan's handwriting, the matter is half done, at least Pei Yuanshan's subordinates will not obstruct him.

Now it's a matter of how to get in touch with the Ming army.

Although it was a surrender, they were active, which was naturally different from the kind of passive surrender after the city was broken.

Although facing Zheng Chenggong, Xue Lu and the others still want to fight for some benefits.

Besides, if they hadn't coerced Pei Yuanshan, no matter how smoothly the Ming army attacked the city, there would have been casualties, right?

They deserve the benefits of that alone. They don't want to get any reward, but they want to keep their existing wealth, and that's enough.

However, it was said that Zheng Chenggong surrounded the city of Suzhou, and was about to order the siege of the city, but saw the city gate wide open.

For a moment he was confused.

Thinking that this might be a trick of the enemy, Zheng Chenggong did not order the attack at the first time, but prepared to observe it first.

Then the Qing soldiers walked out of the city one after another.

They had no blades in their hands, and they looked like they were begging to surrender.

That's it?

This is a surrender?

Zheng Chenggong was puzzled.

No wonder he was so surprised. After all, the experience of resisting the Qing Dynasty for so many years told him that although the Qing soldiers were average in combat, they were stinking and hard stones in the pits.

Normally, the battle with the Qing army is a tug-of-war, and it is difficult to win quickly in this situation.

This time, however, the situation is quite the opposite.

The Qing soldiers surrendered without even putting up a fight.

There must be a demon when something happens, and Zheng Chenggong still has enough vigilance.

What are you doing here, Tartar?

Let's wait and see what happens.

Soon representatives of the Qing soldiers came to Zheng Chenggong's army.

To Zheng Chenggong's surprise, the representative of the Qing soldiers was not a general soldier, but a businessman.

This person was wearing a navy blue robe, and his body looked like he was rich, obviously not a martial arts practitioner.

The situation is getting more and more confusing.

"Grass people Xue Lu pays a visit to His Royal Highness King Zhong."

Zheng Chenggong was a little surprised and said, "Do you know the title of this king?" ”

Xue Lu said with a flattering smile: "His Royal Highness King Zhong's reputation is far away, who in the world doesn't know who doesn't?" The grass people have admired His Royal Highness for a long time, and today they really have the appearance of a dragon wind. ”

Zheng Chenggong, who heard this, was shocked, this can't be nonsense.

The posture of the dragon and phoenix is used to describe the Son of Heaven, and the most unfortunate is also used to describe the prince.

Isn't it used to describe a courtier to kill him?

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Zheng Chenggong immediately scolded.

Xue Lu hurriedly said yes.

In fact, he knew very well that Zheng Chenggong was scolding him, but he must be very happy in his heart.

This kind of person is the most duplicitous.

The emperor took turns to do it, and this year came to my house.

If a warlord like Zheng Chenggong said that he did not covet the throne and did not have the slightest idea of the chair of the Son of Heaven, he would not believe it.

With Zheng Chenggong's strength, not to mention the implementation of great unification, at least there is no problem with separation.

If the emperor doesn't do it to be a prince, what kind of operation is this?

Of course, Zheng Chenggong must be a show in front of people. Otherwise, it is indeed a little difficult to reach the ears of the imperial historian and refer to him.

"This is a letter of surrender written by the prefect Pei Yuanshan, please take a look at it."

Xue Lu respectfully held the handwritten note that Pei Yuanshan had just written in front of Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong took it and unfolded it, the ink on it hadn't dried completely, it should have just been written.

He read it very carefully, and the content of the surrender document was also very detailed, which can be described as full of sincerity.

Zheng Chenggong coughed and said: "The soldiers and horses in the city have all left the city, and they are all ordered to go out of the city and surrender." ”

Xue Lu said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, please rest assured, I still understand this truth, and it is not too late to make a decision after all the soldiers and horses in the city have left the city to be surrendered, and His Highness has ordered someone to inspect it."

Xue Lu's meaning is obvious, anyway, I am putting my life in your hands, you can see what to do.

When he said this, Zheng Chenggong felt a lot more at ease.

Even if the Tartars want to surrender, it's not such a deception, right?

It can only be said that he was lucky and met a soft egg who had no eggs.

This thing didn't even have the courage to resist, so he surrendered directly.

Of course, this couldn't be better for the Ming army.

Without spending a single soldier to take Suzhou, the Ming army would have more physical strength to fight Huai'an and Xuzhou.

For Zheng Chenggong personally, this is also a good result. His Majesty ordered him to participate in the battle to attack Susong and Changzhou, at least he had to show something, and he couldn't be completely left behind, right?

Taking down Zheng Chenggong in Suzhou can be said to be a reassuring pill, even if Changzhou and Songjiang are taken by others, Zheng Chenggong can accept it.

The Holy Son of Heaven ordered the army to attack Yangzhou and Susong first.

Now it seems that this could not be more correct.

Because these places are rich and have few troops, they are cost-effective to capture.

Xuzhou and Huai'an have more Qing soldiers, and they are not as rich as Susong and Yangzhou. The cost performance of the attack is not so high.

I have money in my hands, and I don't panic in my heart.

After conquering these places, the financial resources of the Ming army can be greatly supplemented, so that the next attack on Xuzhou and Huai'an is a matter of course.

After all the preparations were completed, Zheng Chenggong entered the city of Suzhou surrounded by personal guards.

Zheng Chenggong is no stranger to Suzhou, when he was a prisoner in Nanjing, he liked to travel all over the south of the Yangtze River.

His favorite places to visit are Hangzhou and Suzhou.

This is also normal, there is heaven and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou.

In such a fairyland on earth, countless literati linger.

Zheng Chenggong was a teenager at that time, and it was normal for him to love Suzhou.

It's just that time has passed, and Zheng Chenggong's mood has changed greatly when he returns to Suzhou City.

Full of devastation, things are not people.

Although the current city of Suzhou is still quite prosperous, Zheng Chenggong always feels that there is something less than more than ten years ago.

Maybe it's the aura that is missing, right?

Of course, Zheng Chenggong is confident about the future of Suzhou.

As long as it is in the hands of Daming, it won't take long for Suzhou to recover its aura.

"Your Highness, I feel that I can write a good report to Your Majesty."

Zheng Chenggong's confidant said in a deep voice.

The Son of Heaven is now in Yangzhou, which is very close to Suzhou. Ordered someone to hurry up and send the victory report in a few days at most.

The reason why we have to rush so much is because we want to take credit.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if it was too late and the credit was shared by others.

From now on, it seems that Daming Zhongxing is already a sure thing, and it is nothing more than a matter of time.

Zheng Chenggong naturally has to lay a good foundation, so that in the future, when the Ming Dynasty recovers the world, Zheng Chenggong will also be able to get more rewards when His Majesty rewards his deeds.

It's not just for him personally, it's for his son and his family.

Whether he can reach the height of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, and become the first person to become a noble depends on his performance.
