People don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, and King Fu rushed to Nanjing from Huguang overnight, so he naturally wouldn't hand over the courtiers to Chongzhen. The only trump card he has now, if it is wasted like this, he will not be the king of fortune.

In the troubled times, everyone wants to live, and in order to survive, it is inevitable to give up. At this moment, Chongzhen was still naïve to think that King Fu came this time to return to obedience.

"Brother Huang, there is naturally no problem for the courtiers to send it to their younger brothers. The problem is that the younger brother has a small request, and I hope that the imperial brother can consider it as appropriate. Fu Wang finally showed his hole cards.

Chongzhen's face was gloomy, and at this moment he finally understood that there was no free lunch in the world, and this Fu King obviously used this as a threat. After frowning and thinking deeply, Chongzhen said in a deep voice: "If the subordinate brother has any requirements, you might as well talk about it first." ”

King Fu laughed twice, and then said: "Brother Huang, my brother learned that Mao Wenlong was preparing to send troops to attack Sichuan and Huguang. What the royal brother knows, now Huguang is the only place for the younger brother, if even Huguang is lost, then the younger brother will become a homeless person, and the imperial brother must not want to see the younger brother wander to the end of the world and become a poor person with nowhere to stay! ”

Chongzhen, who frowned suddenly, faintly had a precursor to madness in his heart. The Fu King in front of him is really a lion's mouth, and he wants Huguang and Sichuan with one mouth, which shows that this person's heart is really a bottomless pit.

Now let alone Huguang or Sichuan, even if it is a single Sichuan, Chongzhen himself is not completely sure that he will be able to take it. After all, he now needs to rely on Mao Wenlong for everything, especially in the war, and he Chongzhen doesn't seem to have any say at the moment.

Although Mao Wenlong sent 50,000 elite soldiers to him, the leader of the troops was Chen Jisheng, and all these Dongjiang troops only obeyed Chen Jisheng's orders. For him, the emperor, he didn't pay attention to it at all, Chongzhen couldn't say anything about his suffering, and his heart was quite sour.

Although he knew in his heart that he had no rights, Chongzhen was unwilling to expose his current predicament in front of King Fu. After hesitating for a while, he said in a deep voice: "My brother's request is actually not so excessive, and I will allow your request to be handed over to you to govern when I send troops to attack Sichuan in the future." ”

King Fu did not suspect that Chongzhen would lie to himself, and he immediately said with great joy: "In this way, the younger brother will thank the imperial brother." ”

Chongzhen pretended to wave his hand generously, and then said, "Then now the courtiers can send all the courtiers over, right?" ”

King Fu laughed and said: "This is natural, please rest assured, brother Huang, within three days, the younger brother will definitely send all the people." ”

Chongzhen nodded and said with satisfaction: "This is the best, then we will make up our minds." ”

King Fu immediately responded: "A word is a certainty!" ”

I didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and King Fu was also quite surprised, but these are no longer important, the important thing is that his goal has been achieved. Happily bidding farewell to Chongzhen, King Fu immediately set off to rush back to Huguang to arrange for those useless courtiers to be sent to Nanjing.

King Fu is not afraid that Chongzhen will regret it when he arrives, he also has his confidence, otherwise he would not have only made a simple verbal agreement with Chongzhen.

Chongzhen sent King Fu away, and his heart was not even better, and he originally hoped to revive the past majesty of the Ming Dynasty. It's a pity that since he arrived in Nanjing, he suddenly realized that there seems to be a gap of 18,000 miles between ideals and reality.

Knowing that the road ahead was difficult, Chongzhen had to continue walking, even if he knew that there was a bottomless pit ahead, he had to jump. There is no turning back for him except to keep moving forward.

The war in Shanxi still broke out, and Huang Taiji personally led 50,000 gold soldiers to take the lead in attacking the Daimyo's Mansion. As soon as the war was carried out, Mao Wenlong was connected to two war reports, although the Daimyo's Mansion was well defended and had the city as its backing, but unfortunately it was still attacked by the Jin soldiers three times in a row, and the situation of the Daimyo's Mansion had begun to be bad.

Although the Dongjiang army was strictly defended, the Jin soldiers seemed to go crazy and launched three fierce attacks on the Daimyo's Mansion in one day. Although the two sides finally fought to a draw, the casualties of the Dongjiang army were not small, and if there were no reinforcements to rescue, it was estimated that the Daimyo's Mansion would not be able to withstand Huang Taiji's three more onslaughts.

After Mao Wenlong read the battle report, his brows were furrowed, and he raised his head and said to Hong Chengchou: "At present, only Huang Taiji's golden soldiers are fighting, which is completely unreasonable. ”

Hong Chengchou also nodded at this time and said: "Indeed, there is a trace of strangeness in this matter, Wu Sangui and Huang Taiji have joined forces in Beijing, and the two armies have nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses. can attack the Daimyo's Mansion like this, but you don't see Wu Sangui's Liaodong Army? ”

Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment and then said, "Could it be that this Wu Sangui is secretly planning some conspiracy?" ”

Hong Chengchou said as a matter of course: "There is no need to doubt this, but it can be directly affirmed that Wu Sangui must have a plan." It's a pity that we have too little information at present, and there are not many people around Jingshi at present, which also leads to our spies not being able to get in at all, and we know very little about the current real situation in Jingshi. ”

Mao Wenlong said suddenly: "If there is no feasible way, then we can only send a hot air balloon to monitor the Beijing Division at high altitude." ”

Hong Chengchou nodded and smiled: "Although this will be detected by the enemy army, it can also gain the greatest insight into any movement of the enemy army." ”

"Okay, that's it." Mao Wenlong slapped the table heavily and made up his mind.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door, and a huge figure appeared. I saw that his face was full of urgency, and after seeing Mao Wenlong, he shouted: "General soldier, Shandong is urgent." ”

Mao Wenlong immediately realized that something was wrong, grabbed the envelope, opened it, and exclaimed with a gloomy face: "Damn Wu Sangui......"

"What happened?" Hong Chengchou also realized that it was not good, and asked Mao Wenlong repeatedly.

The latter simply handed the letter to Hong Chengchou to read for himself, and then continued to scold: "Damn Wu Sangui actually sent troops to attack Shandong, unexpectedly, Jinan Mansion is now under onslaught, and there is a danger of breaking the city at any time." ”

After Hong Chengchou read the letter, he suddenly realized: "This must be Huang Taiji and Wu Sangui fighting the west." ”

Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment: "Are you saying that Huang Taiji's side is just a feint, and Wu Sangui's attack on Shandong is their main purpose?" ”

Hong Chengchou smiled bitterly: "Now the situation is obvious, they put on a posture of wanting to attack Shanxi on a large scale, and then they only have 50,000 gold soldiers from Huang Taiji." Now it seems that the water in the 50,000 golden soldiers of Huang Taiji must be not small. ”

Mao Wenlong was extremely angry in his heart, and unknowingly fell for the trick of Wu Sangui and Huang Taiji. Mao Wenlong couldn't swallow this breath, he had to let out this sullen breath in his heart.
