After arriving in Zhaoqing, a lot of information was put in front of Tianlang by Deng Kai, and Tianlang was giving Li Chengdong a chance, but Li Chengdong didn't know it.

Flipping through the pieces of information, Tianlang read it patiently.

He found that Li Chengdong had been thinking a lot recently, probably mainly because he had eliminated the two emperors of the Southern Ming Dynasty, but why he couldn't get the trust of the Qing court.

The Qing court sent a Tong Yangjia to watch him and be his superior, which made Li Chengdong feel very uncomfortable.

Thinking about it, maybe it's because of my resume.

"This Li Chengdong is probably one of the few generals in the remnants of the Dashun army who surrendered to the Qing court, right?"

After seeing a piece of information, Tianlang frowned and asked.

"There's also a Gao Jie."

Deng Kai replied without thinking: "Li Chengdong was originally a general under Li Chuang of the Dashun Army, a general under the system of Gao Jie, a harrier who turned over the mountain, Gao Jie abducted Li Chuang's stepwife Xing and surrendered to the imperial court, fought for the imperial court for many years, and was promoted to the general army of Xuzhou, but in the Hongguang Dynasty, Gao Jie was killed by Xu Dingguo, Xu Dingguo surrendered to the Qing army, and the funny thing is that after Gao Jie's death, Li Chengdong also surrendered to the Qing army with Xing. ”

Tianlang sneered, "It's funny, if you knew that the purpose of both sides was the same, why bother fighting back and forth in the first place, wouldn't it be better to surrender hand in hand?" ”

Deng Kai was noncommittal, and continued, "If you want to talk about Gao Jie, although he put on a second green hat for Li Zicheng, when the Qing army went south, he was one of the few generals who were willing to obey the dispatch of the Shi Pavilion Department, from this point of view, Gao Jie is still good." ”

Tianlang sighed, looked up at the sky and said: "Shi Gebu, Shi Kefa, Shi Bi Liufang, although he has not become famous, he can finally be fame." ”

"What the emperor said seems to be a couplet."

"That's right, the next link is talking about Hong Chengchou, Hong En's mighty, and he must not repay the country but become an enemy. You go on to say. ”

"When the Shi Pavilion Department presided over the defense of Jiangbei, Xu Dingguo, who had served as the general soldier of the Chongzhen Dynasty in Shanxi, was stationed in Suizhou, and Xu Dingguo had previously cleared the Dashun army in Henan, and was defeated miserably, and was almost not executed by the first emperor to enforce military law.

This is a cowardly and incompetent person, and there are many such people who have been entrusted with important tasks in the Hongguang Imperial Court. People like Xu Dingguo can no longer be called soldiers, but warlords.

After Jiashen, he felt that there was no hope for the Ming Dynasty, so he secretly sent Qiubo to Dolgon, and did not listen to the dispatch of the Hongguang Dynasty.

When the Scottish Department noticed his strange appearance, he sent Gao Jie to Suizhou to question him.

What the Cabinet Department didn't know was that Xu Dingguo had secretly surrendered to the Qing court at this time, and had already sent his son to Beijing as a hostage.

Gao Jie was defenseless against Xu Dingguo, and when he arrived in Suizhou, he was booby-trapped by Xu Dingguo in a Hongmen banquet, after which the rest of Gao Jie's troops were collected by his subordinate Li Chengdong, and Li Chengdong also abducted Gao Jie's daughter-in-law, that is, Li Zicheng's ex-wife Xing, and surrendered to the Qing court. ”

Listening to Deng Kai's words, Tianlang nodded:

"That's it, if I were Dolgon, I wouldn't be able to trust Li Chengdong." Tianlang's fingers tapped on the bookcase, and he didn't speak loudly.

"Why is that?" Deng Kai didn't understand very well, he was in charge of the intelligence of the Jinyi Guard, and knew that although Huang Taiji and Dolgon were cunning, they were still very rewarding and punishing.

"You see, even if Dolgon knows that Li Chengdong has made a great contribution to the destruction of the two emperors, almost all the rest of the Dashun army have surrendered to us, and only Li Chengdong has surrendered to the Qing court, so how can Dolgon not worry that Li Chengdong will secretly communicate with us in private?"

"That's it." Deng Kai nodded and said: "After Li Chengdong occupied Guangdong, Dolgon ordered Tong Yangjia, a relative of the imperial family, to be the governor of Guangdong, and he has already shown his distrust of Li Chengdong. ”

"That's not the case, sending cronies to be the governor of one party is a regular operation of Dolgon, such as Tong Yanghe, the governor of Huguang, who is also a member of the Tong family. If it is just not to be trusted, there is no need for Li Chengdong to oppose the Qing Dynasty, there must be a contradiction between him and Dolgon, otherwise Li Yuanyin would not be able to ask me to write a letter to persuade Li Chengdong to surrender, if there is no contradiction between him and Dolgon, what effect can a letter of persuasion play? ”

"If there is a contradiction, then this contradiction should be in Ding Kuichu's death. When he recruited Ding Kuichu, he made a wish to let Ding Kuichu be the governor of Guangdong, but the governor of Guangdong turned out to be Tong Yangjia, and even he was just a governor of Guangdong, ranking below Tong Yangjia.

This is a broken promise, and Li Chengdong did not write to Dolgon for breaking his promise to Ding Kuichu, but killed Ding Kuichu. ”

Tianlang smiled, "He is playing tricks, Ding Kuichu's surrender is carrying more than a dozen ships of gold, and there are many beautiful relatives, Li Chengdong became greedy, that is, he was worried that after breaking his promise, Ding Kuichu rebelled as an excuse to kill him, so that Dolgon, who was mainly responsible for his broken promise, took the blame, of course Dolgon would be angry with him, Dolgon was angry with him, and Tong Yangjia, the governor of Guangdong, would often give him small shoes. ”

Deng Kai understood, and asked Tianlang with a clear light, "Long live, so we are almost sure that we will let Li Chengdong take the initiative to surrender without spending a single soldier?" ”

Tianlang pursed his lips, "It's not with us, but with Li Yuanyin, as well as Li Chengdong's favorite concubine Zhao." ”

"Li Yuanyin and Zhao?" Deng Kai was a little confused, the information was given to Tianlang by him, but why didn't he see what role the Zhao family would play in this matter? ”

"My persuasion letter can only make Li Chengdong vigilant and hesitant, and the only people who can really make him make a final decision are the people closest to him."

Tianlang looked into the distance, hooked the corners of his lips and said, "Give them a few days, if Li Chengdong is still obsessed by then, then he will destroy them." ”

In fact, he didn't want to destroy Li Chengdong directly, he was still worried that Li Chengdong still had 30,000 troops in his hands, and once he surrendered, he could use it for himself.

However, Tianlang did not know one thing, on the way he led Hao Yongzhong, the fierce general of the Dashun army, and more than 20,000 elites from Liuzhou to Zhaoqing, Li Chengdong's favorite concubine Zhao and his son Li Yuanyin had already started the ideological work of persuading Li Chengdong to surrender.

Li Yuanyin's surname is Jia, Jia Baoyu is that Jia, after Li Chengdong descended to the Ming Dynasty, he fought in Henan all the year round, Li Chengdong arrested him in Li Yuanyin's hometown of Nanyang, Henan, he was still a child at that time, Li Chengdong saw that he liked it and accepted him as an adopted son, and also found a husband to teach him to read.

But Mr. Li Yuanyin taught Li Yuanyin to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, and to become benevolent and righteous, but Li Chengdong surrendered to his country's sworn enemy, of course Li Yuanyin was not happy, but every time he persuaded Li Chengdong, he was Lao Tzu, how could he listen to his son?

Fortunately, it was not only Li Yuanyin who persuaded Li Chengdong, but also Li Chengdong's favorite concubine Zhao.

When it comes to Zhao, it is inevitable to mention her bumpy life and a man related to her bumpy life.

This man is her ex-husband, Chen Zizhuang, and later generations will call him and the other two heroes Lingnan Sanzhong.
