Since the end of June, King Ji had no choice but to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, Shandong could have been decided in a battle, but because Jiang Huang, who launched an anti-Shun rebellion in northern Jin, fell to the Qing court and fought with the Shun army, and was in urgent need of support, and Dolgon also realized that the biggest opponent in the Central Plains was the Dashun army, so on June 29, after Jueluo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu reported to pacify Bazhou, Cangzhou, Dezhou, and Linqing, he transferred him back to the north and joined Ye Chen's department and Jiang Jiu's department to attack Taiyuan.

The main force of the Qing army withdrew from Shandong, but the situation in Shandong did not improve, although the anti-Qing rebels rose one after another, but did not get support, they were either loyal to Shun, or loyal to the Ming Dynasty, they did not belong to each other, each fought for itself, many of the rebels were lonely because of the strength, and finally had to have no choice but to surrender to the Qing.

For example, Xintai County, which is only 300 miles away from Jinan, ordered Zhou Zuoding of Dashun County to refuse the surrender of Wang Aoyong and Fang Dayou six times, and finally abandoned the city helplessly under the pursuit of the Qing soldiers.

Zeng Hualong, who had broken through 100,000 bandits and relieved the siege of Jiaozhou, also felt that the general trend had gone after hearing that the Qing army had occupied Gyeonggi, and fled south with Guo Wenxiang, the governor of Jiaozhou.

Hongguang Junchen favored the left side of the Jiang, and had no enterprising intentions, so that Wang Aoyong and Fang Dayou successfully accepted many states and counties, but after all, the main force of the Qing army returned to the north, Shandong was empty, and the pressure of the righteous army from all walks of life was greatly reduced, so until August, Lechang, Shouguang and other counties still had Zhao Shenkuan, Qin Shangxing, Guo Jiangpai, Zhai Wu Monk and other several armed forces to resist the Qing.

In order to appease or force these anti-Qing rebels to surrender, Wang Aoyong was stationed in Qingzhou, and Fang Dayou, the governor of the Qing court in Jinan, coordinated Shandong.

Because of the lack of troops, Wang Aoyong did not bring a large army, but he did not worry about his own safety. Qingzhou is a big city, one of the ancient Kyushu, is the top number of the Shandong platoon of the fortified city, with the combat power of the righteous army, it is impossible to break through without 10,000 people, but Shandong obviously has no nearly 10,000 righteous troops, and after the old Zhu family's King Ji was forced to surrender, Shandong's pacification was quite smooth, because he was sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai, just waiting for the rebels from all walks of life to surrender.

On this day, Wang Aoyong was sitting in the state government, and suddenly heard that someone was coming to report. "Zhao Yingyuan's department, which flows between Lu and Yu, sent an envoy to surrender."

As a member of Shandong and Henan appointed by the Qing court, Wang Aoyong knew the situation of Zhao Yingyuan's department very well, and naturally understood his embarrassing situation.

Now that he heard that it was about to descend, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.

can make another contribution to his master, his career will inevitably be smoother, and there is no problem to overpower Fang Dayou in Jinan.

At that moment he had the messenger of the future bring him, and he put down what he was doing, put on his official robes, and sat upright and waited.

Wang Yan, Liu Shun, and Zhao Si went all the way to the outside of Qingzhou City in the afternoon of the same day.

Seeing that the city is two zhang high and one zhang wide, it can be described as a rare fortified city.

Such a big city, if there are enough soldiers and horses, and if it is properly defended, I am afraid that even a hundred thousand troops will not be able to capture it.

"I wonder how many Qing soldiers there are in the city?"

Wang Yan couldn't help but be a little worried, if there were thousands of people stationed in the city, then Zhao Jun's deception of the city would also be in vain! Lacking information, he couldn't help but feel a little bottomless in his heart.

Although Wang Yan did not like these spy organizations, he also had to admit their usefulness in intelligence, and if Wang Yan was in power, he would have to establish a perfect intelligence system.

"Fourth Brother Zhao, I don't know anything about the military, you have followed General Zhao for many years, how is the defense in the city? What is the strength of the troops? I'll leave it to you to find out. The three of them slowly stopped not far from the city gates.

"Liu Shun, you used to be in the market, you should be good at finding out the news, you also go to help Fourth Brother Zhao find out the situation in Qingzhou, in case of emergency." Looking at the Qing soldiers who were checking at the Jiancheng and the city gate, Wang Yan's face was a little heavy, "After entering the city, I will go to the state government to meet Wang Aoyong, and the two of you will find an inn to stay, and then act at the opportunity, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the Qing soldiers, you know?" ”

"No! Childe rest assured! Seeing that his face was heavy, the two knew that the matter was serious and could not be careless, so they responded with their fists in unison.

After giving the order, the three of them stepped forward and slowly walked towards the city gate.

In this era, those who can ride horses must be either rich or expensive, but they are not ordinary people who can ride, the guards have already paid attention to the three people, but they see that there is no large group of people behind them, and they are not worried about what safety issues are.

When the three of them walked to the front, a small leader of the Qing soldiers stopped them, and Dao did not dare to blackmail, but asked about the intention.

When Wang Yan made his intentions clear and knew that this was a major event that Lord Wang Aoyong focused on and personally presided over, the small leader did not dare to be dismissive, so he immediately let him go, and personally led Wang Yan to the state office.

Wang Yan didn't ask much along the way, for fear that he would be suspicious, but just chatted about the customs of Qingzhou, he asked Liu Shun and Zhao Si to lead the horse to the hotel, and he followed the little boss to the state office.

At this time, someone went to report it, and he gave the little leader some broken silver, and stood in front of the state government while thinking about the rhetoric, while waiting quietly.

After a short time, a servant came out to take Wang Yan in and brought him to Wang Aoyong.

Now that Dolgon's first shaving order has been forced to be canceled, many Han dignitaries who can take refuge in the Qing court, in order to curry favor with the Qing court, most of them take the initiative to shave their hair, and Wang Aoyong is one of them.

A money rat tail was on his head, how ugly it was at that time, compared with Wang Yan's appearance as a scholar in a deep coat and a square scarf on his head, Wang Ao couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of himself.

In today's era, ordinary people do not have the concept of a country, the world is changing, for these ordinary people, it is just a change of royal power, a change of emperor, but for the scholar class, it is indeed a critical moment to test the character, they are deeply educated by Confucianism, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, Yixia defense is the basic criterion.

The people can descend, that is the fault of the court, trapping the people in the dust.

But you, a scholar, are favored by the country, eat the court, are loved by the people, the country is broken, and even if you don't have the festival of immortality, you are shameless and shameless, which is really shameless!

Seeing Wang Yan, who was dressed in the clothes of his homeland, walked in, Wang Ao Yonggui was a member of the three grades of the Qing court, and the minister of appeasement appointed by the regent, but he was not confident enough to straighten his clothes and hide the money rat tail on his bare head.

Seeing him sitting in front of him, Wang Yan was disdainful in his heart, but he didn't show it, but saluted with a smile: "Late Wang Yan, meet the adults!" ”

"No need to be polite!" Wang Aoyong raised his hand slightly, and suddenly realized that the name Wang Yan was very familiar, and after thinking about it, he exclaimed. "Wang Yan? But a song of Liang Zhu moved Wang Yan of the Beijing Division, Wang Shiheng? ”

"Shallow Zhan sang in a low voice, it's not worth mentioning, the adults laughed." Wang Yan didn't expect that even Wang Aoyong had heard of his micro-name, and he was a little surprised, but he replied politely.

Although the dynasty forbade officials to bet on chickens, officials and scholars were not ashamed of this, but instead used romance as capital.

Wang Yan's Liang Zhu, poignant and tactful, won the hearts of many sisters, under their singing, has long been known by Shilin, spread throughout the Beijing Division, and even with a large number of officials fled south, spread to the south of the Yangtze River, and he is also considered by many people to be Liu Sanchang's general talent.

"Haha~~ Shiheng is a celebrity, how could I not know!" But the identity was determined, Wang Ao couldn't help but be very happy, Wang Yan hadn't made his intentions clear, but he had already made up his mind, no matter whether Zhao Yingyuan surrendered or not, he would pull Wang Yan into the water. "Come on~ Hurry up and take a seat, I want to talk to Shiheng in detail."

Now in Shilin, Wang Yan can be regarded as a little famous, if he descends to the Qing Dynasty, it will inevitably affect more scholars, and Wang Aoyong will be able to make more contributions to the Qing court. The most important thing is that Wang Ao can always find an excuse for himself to be cleared, "Look, the celebrities and celebrities have all been cleared, and it's not easy for people to hold me alone, right?" ”

For him, the more doctors are cleared, the less burden he has in his heart.

Waiting for the official to sit on the table, Wang Yan sat down, the two talked, every time there were amazing words, Wang Aoyong felt that he was extraordinary, and the idea of surrender became stronger and stronger, and then he remembered the matter and said: "I listened to the report of the next person, Shiheng is here to surrender to Zhao Yingyuan to the Qing Dynasty!" I don't know if there are any requirements? ”

Hearing this, Wang Yan got up and took out the letter written by Zhao Yingyuan from his sleeve, handed it to Wang Aoyong with both hands: "This is General Zhao's table, please take a look." ”

The Zhao army is not like the ordinary righteous army, but Li Chuang's army, although it is not a descendant, but it is also a regular army, which deserves Wang Aoyong's attention, and he took a closer look at the letter at the moment.

Wang Aoyong's attitude made Wang Yan feel a lot more relieved, just now he followed the old goods around, and thought that he had no intention of surrendering!

It is believed that Wang Yan has seen it a long time ago, and deliberately asked Zhao Yingyuan to deliberately reveal the embarrassment of the army, as well as wantonly asking for officials and lords, in order to confuse the other party and make Wang Aoyong believe that Zhao Jun really wants to surrender.

"Shingo has finished reading, grain and grass are not a problem!" Sure enough, after reading the letter, Wang Aoyong did not doubt that there was a lone army, cut off food and grass, and enemies on all sides, except for the Ming Dynasty, he could only reduce the Qing, and Zhao Yingyuan's request for the post of Shandong Governor made him basically believe in the Qing Dynasty, and also made him think that Zhao Yingyuan, like Jiang Hao and Tang Tong, was a man who saw the wind and made the rudder, and what he pursued was the word profit.

It's just that now he is only in the third grade, the former chief assistant and Jinshi of the Beijing Division, there is no official position arrangement, Jiang Hao of Datong, Tang Tong at the junction of Jin and Shaanxi, which one is not stronger than Zhao Yingyuan,

None of these people are in high positions, how can Zhao Yingyuan be a commander when he is defeated?

As a member of the Qing court, Wang Aoyong naturally wanted to think about the Qing court, he frowned slightly, and continued: "However, the matter of the title still needs to be discussed, if Zhao Yingyuan is willing to surrender, I will definitely promote him to the regent as the deputy general of Shandong, does Shiheng think it is feasible?" ”

Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly, Wang Yan was secretly happy in his heart, but he hesitated on his face: "I can't be the master of the late life, but General Zhao can arrive in Qingzhou tomorrow, and I will let him come to visit the adult in person." ”
