Chapter 56: Shut Out
Although Liu Yongxi praised Liu Ru as a flower, Mrs. Xing and Li Xiangjun felt that Liu Yongxi was just humbling himself, and the real key to victory or defeat was him, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, but it also made Mrs. Xing and Li Xiangjun more and more interested in Liu Ruyi, Mrs. Xing asked: "If Liu Ru can really make my army invincible, it is not just as simple as sending the letter to her husband in the first place, we should fully support Liu Ru yes!" ”
Li Xiangjun already had a good impression of Liu Ru, and now he said with great interest: "Sister Xing is right, if Hedongjun is the key to the victory or defeat of the Ming and Qing dynasties, then we must put more thought into it, we have to let our people fully cooperate with Hedongjun, the rise and fall of the world is not a trivial matter, even if it is a pair of chopsticks at home, I admit it!" ”
Hearing Li Xiangjun say this, Liu Yongxi looked helpless: "Sister Xiangjun, what do you think of me, I really think that Hedongjun's good use is comparable to three thousand Yuejia, not to mention anything else, just this information she sent has reduced our sacrifices!" ”
This is the most detailed piece of information that Liu Yongxi has received so far about Haoge's reinforcements, and the value of such a piece of information can be described as priceless for the ancient battlefield where intelligence collection is extremely slow.
But Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "The reason why I say this is naturally because I hope that my husband can come back safely, husband, you must take care of yourself, your safety is more important than anything else in our hearts, I don't want to experience the feeling of the sky falling again!" ”
She was moved by feelings, she became teary-eyed when she thought of the change in Suizhou and the death of Gao Jie, she really didn't want to experience the feeling of the sky falling, and Li Xiangjun next to her also held Liu Yongxi's hand tightly, Liu Yongxi understood their feelings: "You can rest assured, I will definitely bring more guards to Jinling this time, and I hope Hedongjun can really help us!" ”
Now in the south and north of the Yangtze River under the rule of the Qing army, it is not only a Hedong Junliu who is engaged in the anti-Qing movement, especially after the Battle of Hangjiahu, the momentum of the anti-Qing movement has exploded, and it is no longer limited to the official gentry class, and now merchants, military attaches in the township, rural tyrants, and even Qinglou women are all involved in this huge restoration movement.
Although Jiangyin City and Nanjing City are close to each other, they are still controlled by anti-Qing forces, and there are many similar examples in Nanzhili.
However, the main opponents of the Qing army were the Yue Ming army and the various righteous armies and righteous divisions supported by the Yue Ming army, and they could only turn a blind eye to these anti-Qing forces for the time being, and even the strictest shaving order was now difficult to implement, as long as they did not merge with the Jinhua thieves, the Qing army could talk about any problem now, and it could also turn a blind eye to the "Shunmin" who refused to shave their hair.
But the most fatal problem for the Qing army was that a group of officials and gentry who extremely supported and supported the Qing Dynasty to enter the Central Plains and drive out the thieves were planning to start an incident, and the Battle of Hangjiahu accelerated this process, and even Liu Zeqing, Liu Yongxi's former rival, had similar ideas.
"After such a big defeat, I think the country of the Great Qing Kingdom is unstable, but it's a pity that we are mortal enemies with Yue Guogong and Zhang Niangniang!"
Although Liu Zeqing's words seemed to be motivated by feelings, he naturally had ulterior motives when he said this kind of thing, and Li Huajing, who was sitting opposite, naturally made sense at one point: "Although Dongping Hou has old grudges with Yue Guogong and Zhang Niangniang, but now the Zhongxing cause is more important than everything, and Dongping Hou has 30,000 soldiers in his hands, and it is estimated that Yue Guogong is also trying his best to win Dongping Hou!" ”
Li Huajing is very trusted by Liu Zeqing, so Liu Zeqing is not ambiguous with Li Huajing: "I think so too, so I have already sent someone to Zhejiang to contact, but the key to the success or failure of this matter is still on our brothers!" ”
Li Huajing felt flattered: "Dashuai, since you can trust the villain, the villain will definitely help you get things done!" It's just that the big man ascended to the top and called out, and the four sides responded, and the villain didn't know where the villain had to contribute? ”
Speaking of this, Liu Zeqing couldn't help but scratch his hair and had nothing to say: "The Great Qing Kingdom doesn't know how to use people, and sooner or later it will lose the world!" ”
The generals of the four towns in Jiangbei, including Liu Zeqing, can be said to have high hopes for the opportunities after the Qing Dynasty, after all, they are lawless feudal towns in Hongming Town, and they should be happier in the Qing Dynasty.
But no one thought that their life in the Great Qing Kingdom would not be easy, especially the big warlords like Liu Zeqing and Li Benshen were the days when the Qing Dynasty and the regent focused on suppression, if it wasn't for Liu Yongxi's rise to the river, their life would probably be even more bitter.
However, Liu Zeqing was the last of the four towns in Jiangbei to surrender, although he helped Hong Chengchou to give advice all day long and even said that only he could deal with Liu Yongxi, but as soon as Haoge's reinforcements arrived, he became the target of Duoduo and Haoge's key guard, and all his old troops were transferred and dismantled.
Although he now has the name of "Dongping Marquis", this name is still given by the Hongguang Dynasty, Duoduo is only temporarily not dealt with, and there are only 2,000 remnants under his command, and the strength is far inferior to Liu Liangzuo in the four towns of Jiangbei, plus Duoduo was defeated too badly in Zhejiang, so Liu Zeqing felt that sooner or later the world would still be the world of the Ming Dynasty.
"Since the Qing Dynasty is going to lose the world, we are prepared, although our brothers' soldiers and horses are all in the south of the Yangtze River, but the hometown of Shandong must not give up, I heard that the Yuyuan Army has made a lot of trouble recently!"
Li Huajing understood when he heard the words "Yuyuan Army" that Liu Zeqing was preparing to let him go back to Shandong, after all, Liu Zeqing had been standing on the side of the government and calling him "Yuyuan thief" before, and now he changed his name to "Yuyuan Army" Naturally, he was preparing to make a big fight in Shandong.
Li Huajing felt that Liu Zeqing was definitely looking for the right person, there was nothing he couldn't do in Caozhou, not to mention that he could still do things in the name of Liu Zeqing, so he could do whatever he wanted: "Dashuai, don't worry, I will take a group of brothers back to Caozhou tomorrow, but if you want to have a good relationship with Yue Guogong, the villain has an idea!" ”
Liu Zeqing is most worried about his historical grievances with Liu Yongxi, Zhang Niangniang and Mrs. Xing, although he knows that these grievances are nothing compared to the great cause of recovering the country, and Liu Yongxi and Empress Zhang must have a big belly if they want to achieve a great career, but as long as the grievances are not resolved, Liu Zeqing feels that his life will not be easy, so he is so excited that he almost jumps: "Brother Whale, how do you say this?" ”
Li Huajing was not vague with Liu Zeqing: "Dashuai, you also know that Yue Guogong is a romantic figure, and he likes to pity incense and cherish jade the most, and now there is a confidant of him in Nanjing!"
Liu Zeqing is a smart person: "You mean Ruan Dacheng's daughter Ruan Lizhen, it seems that there is such a thing, but Duoduo takes strict care of her, and she is also a sensitive person!"
Li Huajing laughed: "It's true that Ruan Lizhen is a sensitive person, but the situation is different, and now Haoge and Duoduo hope to connect with Yue Guogong through her!"
Although the Manchurian nobles hated Liu Yongxi to the bone and knew that Liu Yongxi could not surrender to the Qing court, they had to win over Liu Yongxi by all means under the current situation, and in this situation, Ruan Lizhen, Liu Yongxi's confidant, was already the most important hostage in the hands of the Qing army.
And Liu Zeqing has already understood: "Yes, yes, yes, it seems that there is such a thing, and I heard that Haoge is willing to use Ruan Liqin to redeem the Eight Banners captured in this Battle of Hangzhou, this is definitely an opportunity!"
Now Ruan Lizhen is still under house arrest, but as long as Liu Zeqing, the Marquis of Dongping, pushes a little, not only Ruan Lizhen's treatment will be greatly improved, but she may even become the leading celebrity in Nanjing, in that case, Ruan Lizhen and Liu Yongxi will remember Liu Zeqing's favor: "Huajing, you have a good idea, now that the situation has changed, we have to have a good relationship with Yue Guogong!"
Although Liu Yongxi, the Duke of Yueguo, is only the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses in the small court of the country, more and more people have clearly realized that he is the soul of the real meaning of the small court of Yueming, and Huang Shu, who is ready to take Huizhou City with the outside world, suffered a big loss in this matter.
He and nearly a thousand well-equipped elite soldiers and strong generals have arrived at the city of Huizhou, but he never thought that Jin Sheng would treat him like this, he was so angry that he trembled: "Brother Jin Sheng, you and I want to die for the great cause of Zhongxing, but is this how you treat your own people?" I'm also from Xiuning!"
Huang Shu said that he was from Xiuning, Huizhou, and Jin Sheng was also from Xiuning, Huizhou, and both of them were born in Jinshi.
It's just that Jin Sheng also has his own reasons, he said loudly at the head of the city: "Huang Zhonglin, you can enter the city, but your subordinates, please stay outside the city for the time being, after all, I haven't received a reply from Governor Xing Shengping yet, and I can't ask Huang Xun to enter the city!"
Huang Shu felt that Jin Sheng was fooling himself at all, so he asked loudly, "Brother Jin Sheng, what do you mean by this?" The generals will not be affected by the orders of the foreign army, and I will sincerely join forces with you, but it is really chilling that you treat the township party like this!"
Jin Sheng said with a serious expression: "Others led the army to join forces, I am naturally invincible, but Brother Zhonglin is different, I Huiningchi Taisi Mansion has dedicated soil to Zhezhong Nabiao, Zhang Niangniang named me as the governor of Huiningchi Taisi Mansion Military Affairs Department, I must be consistent with Niangniang on the issue of right and wrong, just now I also asked Zhiping to ask Brother Zhonglin, Brother Zhonglin also said that Zhongxing cause is not in Fujian, you support Empress Zhang's supervision of the country!"
As soon as Jin Sheng said this, there were voices of praise inside and outside the city, and everyone felt that he was reasonable.
And Huang Shu didn't expect to make a big mistake on this issue, who told him to open the Yellow River and flood Zhongzhou when he was appointed as the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, and Empress Zhang of the prison country and Zhang Guoji, the Marquis of Taikang, were all Kaifeng people who hated him to death, and Liu Yongxi, the Duke of Yueguo, also personally beat Huang Shu in the southern capital.
But he immediately asked: "Brother Jin Sheng, the great cause of Zhongxing is more important than everything, do you want to turn me and thousands of loyal soldiers away because of some past grievances!"
