On August 4, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, when Liang Jinde, who was sent by Zhu Cihong to negotiate with Zuo Liangyu, came to Wuchang at the moment, Balza, who was sent by Dolgon, came one step ahead of schedule and was secretly asking to see Zuo Liangyu.

"Someone sent by Dorgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty?" Zuo Liangyu frowned, not knowing what Manren meant.

"Nope!" Zuo Liangyu said.

Refusing to see this Manchurian, now he is threatening the imperial court to ask for the salary of the 600,000 army, if he has contact with the Manchurian and the matter is spread out, the imperial court is likely to be suspicious, not persecuted, and refuse to give him military salary, then this loss will be great.

This pro-soldier got Zuo Liangyu's statement and retreated.

"We don't want to see you, so let's go." The soldier said to Balza, who was standing at the door waiting for news.

"Tell you that our regent has a deal to do with your commander, and I believe your commander must be interested." Seeing that Zuo Liangyu really didn't see him, Balza's heart sank, and he immediately threw out the planned bait, no matter what, he had to see Zuo Liangyu and complete the task assigned by the regent.

The soldier thought about it and didn't immediately agree.

Seeing this, Balza reached into his waist and found a piece of gold, and threw it to the soldier.

"Okay, you wait, I'll report to our commander again." The soldier quickly caught the ingot of gold, stuffed it into his waist, and said immediately with a smile on his face.

The soldier walked in again to report to Zuo Liangyu and bring Balza's words to Zuo Liangyu.

"Did that man show his braids?" After Zuo Liangyu listened, although his curiosity was aroused, he still asked first.

Braids are a sign of the Manchurians, only the Manchus or hardcore traitors will keep braids, Zuo Liangyu is curious about what Dolgon will have with him, but he still doesn't want to be seen seeing him see the Manchurians, mistakenly thinking that he is colluding with the Manchurians.

"Back to the big handsome, that person wore a hat to cover it, and he didn't see the braids, he must have been hidden in the hat, and he couldn't see that he was full from the outside, if he didn't report his identity, his subordinates wouldn't be able to see it." The pro-soldier said.

"In that case, go and bring him in." Zuo Liangyu nodded, that is, he had no worries.

"Yes, Dashuai!"

The soldier took the order and went out, and in a few moments brought in the Manchurian Balza.

In order to hide his eyes, Balza came here alone.

Zuo Liangyu only glanced at the man who was brought in, and then said straightforwardly: "Say, what is the matter with your regent sending you to see Ben Shuai." ”

Seeing that Zuo Liangyu was so straightforward, Balza was not polite, and said bluntly: "Since Zuo Dashuai is so straightforward, it is not easy to beat around the bush in the future, and it is not a secret, our regent wants to form an alliance with Zuo Dashuai, and is willing to send three million taels of silver military funds to show his sincerity, hoping that Zuo Dashuai can erect a banner of rebellion, immediately wave his troops to the east, attack the little emperor of the remnant Ming, and destroy the remnant of the Ming!" ”

Three million taels of silver? Let this commander immediately rebel?

The corners of Zuo Liangyu's eyes jumped, and he was a little moved, but although he did have the intention of rebellion, he thought that at this moment, he was forcing the imperial court to ask for half a year's military salary for 600,000 troops, and now he has not received a response from the imperial court.

Zuo Liangyu wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but he was a little reluctant to say it, thinking that he should wait first and see if there was a way to get the best of both worlds.

"This is not good, I, Zuo Liangyu, as the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty, eat the king's Lu, how can I rebel." Zuo Liangyu said pretendedly.

"Zuo Dashuai laughed, the Ming court is corrupt and incompetent, resulting in countless refugees in the world, the people's hearts are lost, and in the past ten years, half of the country has been lost in a row, and now it can only live in the south of the Yangtze River, there is no hope, Zuo Dashuai's soldiers and horses must have been more than the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty at this moment, in this case, why not replace it, our regent is willing to rule the river with Zuo Dashuai, so sincere, what does Zuo Dashuai think?" Balza said with a smile.

Zuo Liangyu frowned, but his heart was constantly thinking.

It is impossible for him to rebel now, if he does not rebel, he is still the general army of the Ming Dynasty, and the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command are still the army of the Ming Dynasty, so he has reason to ask the court for military salaries, once the flag is pulled and rebelled, then what excuse is there.

Zuo Liangyu hesitated, he didn't care what Dolgon meant, but in the face of the three million taels of silver that was almost given away for nothing, he just pushed it aside, how could he be willing to give it.

Zuo Liangyu suddenly thought of a way to get the best of both worlds, and asked, "Since your regent is sincere, I don't know where the three million taels of silver are now?" Can I hand it over to him first? ”

Balza said with a sad face: "Don't hide it from Zuo Dashuai, even if three million taels of silver are exchanged for gold, there will be 300,000 taels of gold, Henan is still in the hands of Li Zicheng, and it will not be easy to hand it over to Zuo Dashuai for a while." ”

Zuo Liangyu's face changed, he stood up suddenly, swept away a teacup that was originally placed in his hand with one hand, glared and said angrily: "You can't play this handsome, you can't hand over the silver to this handsome, you say a fart!" Get out of here, go back and tell you the Lord Regent when the money will be sent here, and when you will come to talk to the marshal. ”

Zuo Liangyu was angry, and thought that he could get three million taels of silver for nothing, it turned out that this full dog wanted to empty gloves and white wolves, when he Zuo Liangyu was a fool, if it weren't for the power of some people who took care of the Manchurians, Zuo Liangyu really wanted to drag this Manchu out and cut it.

Balza was furious and clenched his fists, but thinking that he couldn't really anger Zuo Liangyu, he immediately suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Zuo Dashuai is angry, I just said that there are difficulties, it's not impossible, our Eight Banners Army is fighting a decisive battle with Li Zicheng in Shanxi near Luoyang at the moment, if the regent is willing to send five thousand Eight Banners Army to break through a defense of Li Zicheng's army, it will not be a problem, and then as long as Zuo Dashuai sends a large army into Henan and responds to the Yellow River, he can get the three million taels of silver."

After Balza finished speaking, his heart jumped suddenly, at this moment, he seemed to vaguely understand the regent's plan, and couldn't help but feel extremely admired, and sighed secretly, if it was really as he thought, the regent really deserved to be a god of the Qing Dynasty, and he moved his whole body with a single hair, and with a mere three million taels of silver, not only could Nanming kill each other, but also take the opportunity to confuse Li Zicheng and defeat Li Zicheng in one fell swoop, it was a desperate plan to kill two birds with one stone! It's worth it.

It is said that Li Zicheng hurriedly evacuated from Beijing City, along the way with more than 70 million taels of silver looted from Beijing City, the speed of action was extremely slow, under the pursuit of Wu Sangui, Guan Ningjun and the Manchu Eight Banners, on the way to Shanxi was defeated again, more than 70 million taels of silver were also intercepted by Wu Sangui and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, all into Dolgon's pocket.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty now has a lot of silver, and they don't take three million taels of silver in their eyes at all.

"How can you believe that your regent won't play tricks on this commander?" Zuo Liangyu asked.

Now Li Zicheng's army is fighting a decisive battle with the Manchu Qing with all his might, if he sends a large army into Henan to meet him, it is okay, but how can he ensure that the Manchus can really send three million taels of silver to him, what if he is tricked?

"Don't worry, our regent is a god of the Qing Dynasty, as long as Zuo Dashuai is willing to make a covenant with our regent, our regent Chrysostom will not break his word."

Balza said, seeing Zuo Liangyu's intentions, but still hesitating, he immediately took out two parchment rolls from his arms and handed them to Zuo Liangyu, and continued.

"Zuo Dashuai, please see, the sincerity of our regent is all in these two covenants, which have the jade seal of my Qing Dynasty and the signature of our regent, as long as Zuo Dashuai signs his name on it and stamps it with a thumb seal, you and the regent each hold a copy, and the covenant takes effect, our regent will immediately send someone to contact Zuo Dashuai at the time, and will send the silver as promised."

After Zuo Liangyu read it, he believed in Dolgon's sincerity, the Manchu jade seal and Dolgon's name on it could not be faked, if he didn't keep his word, as long as he announced this thing, Dolgon would be ridiculed by the world, and Dolgon, as the regent of the Qing Dynasty, would not do this for three million taels of silver.

"Well, Marshal Ben accepts your Regent's offer." Zuo Liangyu thought about it and agreed.

The temptation of three million taels of silver is too strong, Zuo Liangyu calculated the time, back and forth, he wants to get Dolgon's three million taels of silver for a month, with this time, the silver of the imperial court should also arrive, when tens of millions of taels of silver are in hand, his dream of a million army will be completed in an instant, even more than a million army.

When the time comes, a million troops will sweep the world, and it is inevitable that the little emperor will first wave his troops eastward to take Nanjing, and it will not be considered to be dishonest to Dorgon.

Zuo Liangyu then signed his name on the two covenants and pressed his handprint.

"Zuo Dashuai understands the righteousness and admires it!" Balza and Zuo Liangyu each took a covenant, Balza showed a smile, in fact, he despised it in his heart, Zuo Liangyu was short-sighted, how could he understand their regent's plan, when the time came, defeat Li Zicheng, and kill each other, the world must be their Qing.

Balza put away the covenant and retreated under the leadership of Zuo Liangyu's own soldiers.

Balza walked out of Zuo Liangyu's mansion, came to a small forest, looked around, and found no suspicious people, etc., and then walked into this small forest, where there were already more than a dozen men with hats to cover their hair.

"You immediately send this covenant back to Beijing City and hand it over to His Royal Highness the Regent." Balza gave the parchment to one of them.

"Wow!" The men saluted on one knee and quickly left.

At the same time, the news that Liang Jinde, sent by Zhu Cihong, had come to Wuchang also reached Zuo Liangyu, and the conspiracy was intertwined, and Wuchang must not be peaceful.
