Liu Liangzuo analyzed the pros and cons, and finally patted his head and decided to clear it.

Damn, who did it or not, why hang yourself on a tree.

No matter how you look at it now, the Qing Dynasty has a great chance of conquering the world, and continuing to be the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty has the meaning of a bird, and sooner or later he will not be dragged to the funeral.

The Manchu Eight Banners were an invincible existence, and Liu Liangzuo didn't think that he could resist even a round of charge from the Eight Banners Army.

As for the Texas victory, he didn't believe it in any way.

The ability of the Ming generals to write good news is a must. I think that when Yuan Chonghuan was in charge of Liao affairs, he could report the victory to the imperial court by beheading 200 levels, and called it 'Ningjin Great Victory'.

Liu Liangzuo admired this person. Nothing else, this cheek is really thicker than the city wall.

If compared according to the Ningjin victory, Liu Liangzuo thinks that most of the victory in Texas was also made up by the guard general Qin Gongming himself to fool the imperial court.

The Qing army may have really attacked Texas, but after seeing that the city of Texas was strong, they might take the initiative to retreat, and they didn't make any effort at all!

After all, there are few soldiers in the Eight Banners, and they are all precious, how can they be wasted in this kind of siege warfare.

Perhaps the Texas defenders were lucky enough to kill dozens of Qing soldiers, at most one or two hundred, but the result was a tenfold exaggeration of the imperial court.

In Liu Liangzuo's view, this must be the case.

As for the first level, it's still not easy to get?

Isn't killing good and risking merit what the Ming generals are best at? At least Liu Liangzuo is very good at this.

Although he had almost no chance of fighting with the Qing army, he had a lot of thieves.

Although Liu Liangzuo is a dignified general soldier, he does not have many elite soldiers under his command, and he can only hold his head in the face of Li Zicheng and other powerful peasant armies.

But the court still had to explain, so Liu Liangzuo ordered his subordinates to loot one or two villages, slaughter all the people in the village, and behead them and send them to Beijing to invite merit.

Although the head of the thief is not as valuable as that of the Dongyu, it can be exchanged for some silver. Liu Liangzuo can not only get through the trick but also get the rewards of the imperial court, why not?

As for the Chongzhen Emperor in Beijing, isn't it the people below who have reported anything?

The emperor is a fart!

I will lie to you when I should have lied to you, and I didn't discuss it at all.

Deceive the upper and lower, but it is an important skill that needs to be mastered in officialdom.

So this Qin Gongming is probably also a fellow practitioner.

The good news was written in a dazzling manner, and the little emperor in Nanjing City was deceived by the group, and he thought that the Ming army could really win the Qing army.

Phew, since the Battle of Salhu, the Ming army has lost nine out of ten battles against the Qing army, and it is still a complete loss.

Although the Qin family has some prestige in Sichuan, in the final analysis, it is just a toast, how big a wave can it make?

This little emperor is also an extremely stupid fool, and he even thinks about what to defend Shandong.

Is Shandong in danger? Can it be kept?

If Shandong is guarded, why did Liu Zeqing run from Shandong to Nanzhili in a hurry?

You must know that guy is the general soldier of Zhengyin Shandong!

Honestly guarding Jianghuai can survive a few more days, sending troops to Shandong to die, is the old birthday star hanging - is he impatient?

Although Liu Liangzuo doesn't read much, he also knows the truth that the side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly.

Donglu is not stupid, seeing that the Ming army occupies Shandong, he will definitely send a large army to fight sooner or later.

When Kong Youde and other heavy troops arrive, the red-clothed cannon will swing there, and there is still a possibility that Dezhou City will be defended?

Those who know the times are Junjie, and Liu Liangzuo is naturally unwilling to accompany the funeral of the small court of the Ming Dynasty.

What's more, the little emperor really didn't treat him very well, why did Zuo Liangyu, Zheng Zhilong, Gao Jie, Huang Degong and others all be knighted, but he and Liu Zeqing didn't?

Just rush this point, Lao Tzu will not discuss it!

Take a look at the predecessors of the Qing Dynasty, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming were respectively named King Gongshun, King Zhishun, and King Huaishun. After Shen Zhixiang's surrender to the Qing Dynasty, he was also named the Duke of Continuation Shun.

Which of the Tong family or the ancestral family is not fragrant and spicy?

Even Wu Sangui, who had just descended to the Qing Dynasty, was not named the king of Pingxi?

Of course, Wu Sangui's contribution to Shanhaiguan is indeed great.

This also reminded Liu Liangzuo that he must give a meeting gift when he descends to the Qing Dynasty. The bigger the gift, the better, because the amount of reward you receive is directly related to it.

Liu Liangzuo thought that bringing 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers alone was not enough to show sincerity, and he was ready to take Shandong as a meeting gift to the regent of the Qing court.

Now Gao Jie's Northern Expedition, the whole Shandong is garrisoned by the Shence Army.

This is an army that has just been trained by the Son of Heaven, and its combat effectiveness is definitely very limited.

Liu Liangzuo thought that as long as he led the army to kill, he would be able to break the Shence army and take the cities of Shandong.

As for Qin Gongming's department, it was put in the last to clean up.

Once Texas is taken, the north gate of Shandong will be controlled in hand.

Liu Liangzuo could then send someone to Beijing to ask the Qing court to take over Shandong.

Presumably, the regent of the Qing court must be overjoyed when he learns this news, right?

For the sake of safety, Liu Liangzuo decided to send troops with Liu Zeqing.

Both of them were snubbed by the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so they naturally hit it off.

Liu Zeqing was originally the general soldier of Shandong, and after the fall of Shenjing, he fled all the way to Nanzhili, and was very familiar with the terrain in Shandong.

He suggested bypassing Xuzhou and going straight to Jining Prefecture.

This is also in line with Liu Liangzuo's meaning.

The army of forty or fifty thousand slaughtered towards Xuzhou, so frightened that Li Benshen cowered in the city and did not dare to go out.

Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing led the army to bypass Pei County, along Nanyang Lake all the way to the north, all the way through Huling City, Guting Town, and the collapse of the field, until the city of Jining Prefecture.

Liu Zeqing suggested that the city gate be opened in the name of reinforcing Shandong, and the soldiers would take this important town without bloodshed.

Liu Liangzuo readily agreed.

He sent for the door, but to no avail he wrote a book, tied it to an arrow, and shot it into the city.

Who knew that the defender of Jining Prefecture was cautious, and refused to open the city gate for anything, but instead sent troops to deploy defenses at the head of the city.

Liu Liangzuo was furious when he saw this.

He can not fight Xuzhou, but he can't not fight Jining Prefecture. The reason is very simple, although Xuzhou is empty, Li Benshen is also a famous general, and there will definitely be losses if he forcibly attacks the city. And the soldiers under him are Liu Liangzuo's capital to reduce the Qing, and the cost is less, and the reward will naturally be less.

Besides, his purpose is to take Shandong, and Jining Prefecture is an important town along the canal, controlling Xu and Pei in the south, and Wen and Si in the north, which is the throat of the place.

After laying Jining Prefecture, it will be able to control the southernmost part of the eastern section of the Grand Canal, and it will be more convenient to use the canal to transport grain and baggage in the future.

Although the materials of Jianghuai can no longer be imported, the materials in Shandong can be operated.

When the Qing court takes over Shandong, it must also hope to see a complete Shandong, right?

At least along the canal from Linqingzhou to Jiningzhou must be in hand.

Therefore, Liu Liangzuo will never leave the hidden danger of Jining Prefecture.

The first battle to Shandong must not only be fought, but also fought beautifully!
