After Qin Gongming led his army into the city, he quickly took over the defense of the city of Dezhou.

Zhu Shuaiqin also gradually calmed down from his excitement.

When he started in Texas a month ago, he never imagined that he would one day be able to inherit the throne of Qingfan. At that time, his mind was full of chaos, expelling the pseudo-Shun officials, and temporarily taking over the land of Qilu for the imperial court.

At the beginning, he didn't know that the first emperor and the crown prince had arrived in Nanjing safely, and he only hoped that someone in the emperor's Ming clan could stand up and lead the Ming Zhongxing in the storm.

After the crown prince ascended the throne, Shandong was also taken over by the Ming army, and things were developing in the best direction, how could Zhu Shuaiqin not be excited.

Nowadays, no one wants to hold Shandong and Texas more than him.

After all, his fiefdom has been changed to this place.

As the leader of the alliance jointly promoted by everyone during the Texas uprising, Zhu Shuaiqin still has a certain influence. Under his arrangement, all the affairs in Dezhou City were carried out in an orderly manner, which Qin Gongming also saw in his eyes.

In addition, he is a military general after all, and he is not good at governing the prefecture and county, so he simply follows the officials appointed by Zhu Shuaiqin. It's a big deal to submit the list to the Son of Heaven afterwards. The Son of Heaven once instructed him to be in a hurry to obey power, and there are naturally wartime principles in wartime.

Since the Son of Heaven has let Zhu Shuaiqin inherit the throne of Qing, he will definitely not refuse the official candidates recommended by him.

But Zhu Shuaiqin didn't think so.

As a member of the clan, his reverence for imperial power far exceeded that of Qin Gongming.

At his repeated insistence, Qin Gongming had no choice but to send a messenger to send a list of personnel recommended by Zhu Shuaiqin to Nanjing. According to Zhu Shuaiqin, before the approval of the Son of Heaven, these people were only temporarily acting for the corresponding positions.

After solving this problem, Qin Gongming can finally calm down and analyze the situation in Shandong.

Today, the northeast and west sides of the mountain are bordered by the Dongyu control area. To the south is Huai'an Province, and to the east is the sea.

In other words, the pressure of the Ming army mainly came from the west and north.

Among them, Qin Gongming was stationed in Dezhou and wanted to guard the north gate of Shandong for the Ming Dynasty.

To the north of Dezhou is Hajian Province, which does not have much of its own troops, and if Dongju wants to attack Dezhou, it will inevitably transfer troops from the Gyeonggi region.

This gave Qin Gongming time. He ordered his henchmen to inspect the arsenal and distributed all the supplies that could be distributed. Texas is an important town with an abundant arsenal. Not to mention the 500 white-pole soldiers and 1,000 Fubiao soldiers, even the 20,000 regimental training township soldiers are now also armed to the teeth.

Qin Gongming was very clear about the ferocity of Dongyu.

His father died in the battle of the Hunhe River that year, along with countless white pole soldiers of the Sichuan army and Zhejiang soldiers led by General Qi Jin.

These are the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty.

Qin Gongming knew that the army under his command could not be compared with the Sichuan-Zhejiang coalition army back then, so if he wanted to resist the eastern captives, he could only rely on the city to defend steadily. Backed by a strong city, Qin Gongming has full confidence and setbacks. As long as Dolgon does not bring a dozen Hongyi cannons from Gyeonggi, he must not pose a threat to the city of Texas.

Qin Gongming has a blood feud with Donglu, and he wants to fight with Donglu more than anyone else. But he also clearly knew that the soldiers under his command did not have the conditions to go out of the city to fight. If he buries the army and loses Texas because of his own hatred, how can he be worthy of those righteous men in Shandong anyway, and how can he be worthy of the trust of His Majesty the Emperor?

Control your emotions, you must control your emotions.

His Majesty the Emperor promised him that one day he would expel the Tartars and restore Shenzhou. Then, he must believe in His Majesty's strategic deployment, and he must not act rashly to ruin His Majesty's major affairs.

Qin Gongming also wanted to hear Zhu Shuaiqin's opinion. However, he invited Zhu Shuaiqin several times to discuss the military, but Zhu Shuaiqin refused.

As a vassal king, Zhu Shuaiqin was never willing to get too close to the leading generals.

This is a taboo thing for the Son of Heaven, and he will never make such a political mistake.

Qin Gongming was no longer reluctant, and only called his henchmen to praise him for military affairs.

However, on May 25, the third day after Qin Gongming led his army into the city, Zhu Shuaiqin, the king of Qing, hurriedly came to Qin Gongming's temporary residence, saying that he had something important to see.

Qin Gongming didn't dare to slack off, so he asked someone to invite King Qing to the side hall.

Then Qin Gongming went to the side hall surrounded by several henchmen, and saluted Zhu Shuaiqin: "The last general, Qin Gongming, the general of Huai'an, paid a visit to His Royal Highness King Qing. ”

"General Qin, please get up quickly."

Zhu Shuaiqin hurriedly stepped forward and helped Qin Gongming up.

"Xiao Wang really has something important to discuss when he comes to General Qin."

"Oh? What happened to His Royal Highness King Qing? ”

"This..."

Zhu Shuaiqin glanced at Qin Gongming's henchmen, and stopped talking.

Qin Gongming waved his hand and said, "You all go down." ”

"Mark and obey!"

A group of henchmen responded in unison.

After they all exited the side hall, Zhu Shuaiqin sighed and said: "Someone just came to report that the officials recruited by the Dongyu have arrived outside the city of Dezhou, and now they want to send messengers into the city." Xiao Wang didn't know what to do, so he had to bother General Qin. ”

"Oh? Coming so fast? ”

Qin Gongming was a little surprised, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Who is the person who appeased?" Where is it now? ”

"I heard that it was Fang Dayou, the deputy envoy of the puppet prison army appointed by the court, and Wang Aoyong, the waiter of the puppet household ministry and the Ministry of Works. They camped five miles outside the city, and only sent letters tied to arrows and shot into the city. ”

"Two ministers, the East Prisoner will really appoint officials to appease them."

Qin Gongming said contemptuously.

It was this kind of subservient that he despised the most.

Whether it is Wang Aoyong or Fang Dayou, they are deeply favored by the emperor, and now they are treacherous and defective to the enemy, and they are still waging their tails like loyal dogs to please their masters, and recruiting Shandong for the court, which is really shameless.

"General Qin? What should Xiao Wang do? ”

Zhu Shuaiqin asked worriedly.

Judging from the posture of the other party, it is obvious that he does not know that Qin Gongming's Ming army has been stationed in Dezhou City, and he still wants to take Dezhou with his three-inch tongue. At this time, it is very important to make a decision.

"You might as well order someone to put down the basket and bring the messenger in."

Qin Gongming said after thinking for a while.

"Ahh

Zhu Shuaiqin exclaimed: "How can this be made." Isn't this a suspicion of collaborating with the enemy? ”

"His Royal Highness King Qing, don't worry, and listen to what the last general says."

Qin Gongming paused for a moment and said, "At present, the Imperial Court must not know that our department has been stationed in Dezhou, otherwise it would be impossible to only send civil officials to appease them." Why don't we just count it? ”

"What does General Qin mean by fraudulent surrender?"

Qing Wang Zhu Shuaiqin was frightened: "No, no. Absolutely not. Sooner or later, Dongyu will find out, what if the Hongyi cannon is transferred from Gyeonggi in anger? ”

The Hongyi cannon weighed several thousand catties and was extremely inconvenient to transport. However, it is not excluded that Dongyu will transport it long distances at all costs.

If they are tricked now, the East will inevitably be annoyed and angry, and how will the Texas side deal with it at that time?
