Zheng Kui was stunned when he heard this.

His brother-in-law's bottom line was that the Ming army could not enter the city, and Emperor Yongli meant that the Ming army must enter the city.

The two can't talk about it at all, how can they talk about it?

If it were an ordinary person, it might be frozen. But Zheng Kui can't do it, he just offended Emperor Yongli, and now he is full of desire to survive.

"Uh, Your Majesty, you don't think this will work, I'll go back and talk to my chief soldier about your conditions. I think it's still possible for him to accept it. ”

Zheng Kui was bitter in his heart. My brother-in-law really hurt him this time, this is not a human job.

Zhu Youlang pondered for a moment, bowed slightly, and said: "I give you half a day, if I don't see you after half a day, I will give an order to attack the city." ”

Zheng Kui said in his heart that this Emperor Yongli is really not a cruel person, and said with a smile on his face: "That villain will go back first." ”

Then he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait."

Zheng Kui froze suddenly.

He said in his heart, damn, this Yongli Emperor shouldn't have repented and wanted to kill him, he didn't want to lose his head in such a daze.

"There is a sentence that you bring to me, and if you commit a crime against me, I will be punished even if I am far away. I not only have to fight Xiangyang, but also Jiangling and Wuchang, all the way back to Beijing. It's still too late to surrender to Cheng, otherwise I will be able to escape for a while, and I will eventually lead a large army to kill the thieves until they crush the bones and scatter ashes. ”

"Uh... The villain must bring the words. ”

Zheng Kui was so frightened that his urine was about to squirt out, and he hurried out of the camp with small steps.

When he left the Ming army camp, he always felt that the Ming soldiers on both sides were staring at him directly, like looking at a piece of fat.

But he couldn't show a panicked appearance, so he could only endure fear and walk this way.

I don't know how long it took, he finally walked out of the Ming army camp and immediately ran towards Xiangyang City without looking back.

Coming to the city wall, Zheng Kui desperately shouted: "Pull me up!" ”

Seeing this, the Qing soldiers at the head of the city hurriedly put down their baskets.

Zheng Kui didn't care much, jumped into the basket and let the soldiers pull him up.

After walking to the Ming army camp, Zheng Kui was soaked. He prides himself on being resourceful, but these little cleverness are useless in front of Emperor Yongli.

He felt his whole mind pierced, as smooth as a hard-boiled egg that had been stripped naked.

After being closed from the ghost gate, Zheng Kui felt the need to quickly tell his brother-in-law Emperor Yongli's request.

After all, Emperor Yongli only gave half a day. If there is no result when the time comes, the Ming army will attack the city, and it will be all over at that time.

said that Zheng Kui rushed to see Han Zhaonian in a hurry, but Han Zhaonian was going to the toilet.

Zheng Kui, who was in a hurry, paced back and forth in the room. It's a fucking waste of time.

It's really time for this brother-in-law to have a stomach upset!

After waiting for a long time, Han Zhaonian was late. Zheng Kui hurriedly greeted him and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm back." ”

"Tell me, how's that? Did the Ming army promise not to enter the city? ”

Han Zhaonian was also very nervous, but there was a hint of expectation in the nervousness.

"Emperor Yongli said that they must be stationed in Xiangyang, and he only gave us half a day to think about it. If there is no reply, they will immediately attack the city. ”

Zheng Kui said with a bitter face: "Brother-in-law, you have to think about it." When I went to the camp of the Ming army this time, I saw that the military discipline was strict, and the soldiers were fully equipped with armor and blades. If we really want to fight, we don't have much chance of winning. ”

Han Zhaonian sighed: "Of course I know this, but if I let the Ming army enter the city, there will be no turning back." ”

Han Zhaonian's wishful thinking was to give the Ming army some silver money and food, so that the Ming army would go to other places instead. In this way, he could also report to the court that he had defeated the Ming army. Not only will you not be punished, but you may also be rewarded.

But Emperor Yongli obviously didn't look down on these coins and grains, and he directly pointed out that he wanted to enter Xiangyang, which was actually to force Han Zhaonian to express his stance and choose a side.

The Ming or Qing dynasties can only choose the same, and there is no possibility of riding the wall.

It's so hard!

"Brother-in-law, what the hell do you think?"

Facing Zheng Kui's questioning, Han Zhaonian said helplessly: "If you really want to talk about it, the Qing Dynasty still has a great advantage now. Although the momentum of the Ming army is good, its absolute strength is still lacking. Even if they sang all the way to the entire Huguang, what could they do? I'm still more optimistic about Daqing. ”

"Then brother-in-law means to fight to the death?"

Zheng Kui was a little desperate, just the 10,000 people in Xiangyang City could hold it for three or five days.

"That's not either."

Han Zhaonian sighed: "A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, so why bother doing things like hitting stones with eggs." I think it's better to surrender Kaesong first. It's a big deal to follow the Ming army first, and if you can live for a day, it's a day. ”

Although Han Zhaonian was more optimistic about the Qing army, the current situation gave him no choice.

"Okay, then I'll go for another trip!"

Zheng Kui was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said.

"Wait!"

Han Zhaonian called out to Zheng Kui and said, "Since you have decided to surrender to sincerity, you naturally have to show sincerity." Don't go down from the walls again this time. I will order someone to open the city gate, and you will go out from the city gate openly, and go to the Ming army to show your intention to surrender. ”

Zheng Kui nodded again and again: "Brother-in-law, you should also prepare, it is best to go out of the city and surrender." ”

"Don't worry, I still know this rule."

After Zheng Kui left, Han Zhaonian said with emotion: "The head of the city is changing the Great King Banner, and this Xiangyang City is about to have a clear surname. ”

...

...

When Zheng Kui re-entered the Ming camp, his mentality was already much better.

After all, he was assured this time, and he had the bottom in his heart.

After being taken to the big tent of the Chinese army by the soldiers, Zheng Kui learned to be obedient this time, and pushed the gold mountain to pour the jade pillar and bow down.

"See Your Majesty, villain."

He knew very well that after the surrender of the city this time, they would all have to follow the Ming army in a short time.

In this way, Emperor Yongli became the son of Zhengshuo, and Shunzhi became a traitor.

Life changes so quickly that you never know what's going to happen in the next moment.

"Have you thought it through?"

Zhu Youlang asked with majesty.

"The villain has informed General Han of His Majesty's request, and General Han immediately expressed his willingness to dedicate the city to His Majesty to show his loyalty."

Zheng Kui said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty is the male master, and General Han is willing to follow Your Majesty and saddle your majesty before and after the horse." ”

Zhu Youlang nodded, and instructed Li Dingguo: "In this case, King Jin should prepare for the surrender." ”

"Obey the order!"

Li Dingguo clenched his fists and said.

In fact, Zhu Youlang didn't expect Xiangyang Shou to agree so simply.

Maybe the Ming army Lian Keyi Ling and Yunyang brought him too much pressure.

Now that the soldiers are approaching the city, Zhu Youlang has said cruel words again, and it is reasonable for the Qing army defenders to choose to surrender if they can't withstand the pressure.

In any case, this is the first time that Zhu Youlang has seen the Qing army surrender voluntarily since coming to this era, which is a good sign.

He hoped that this incident could become a turning point, and that the offensive and defensive momentum between the Ming and Qing dynasties could be reversed after today.
