The Lu King Zhu Yipai must be slaughtered, but how to slaughter it is a technical problem.

Zhu Yihai said tentatively, "We will gather troops and horses from the three sides, and I will act as an internal response in the palace, and I can attack the palace tomorrow night at the latest." ”

Zhu Yi sent a lot of soldiers to the Lu Palace, and if he attacked the Lu Palace, he would not be able to capture it for a while. Even if it can be forcibly captured, the loss will inevitably be not small, and it will make everyone in Yanzhou Mansion know. If it is in the capital, it will really be liquidated, and none of the three of Fang Yuan will be able to please them.

Attacking is definitely a bad idea, which also reflects that this Zhu Yihai really has no insight and means except for ambition.

Fang Yuan rejected Zhu Yihai's plan to attack without thinking about it, and said lightly, "The variables of the attack are too great, not to mention the large-scale infighting, it is self-draining." ”

Zhu Yihai also had no idea, and hurriedly asked respectfully, "What does the governor of Yifang mean?" ”

"Poison it!"

The only way Fang Yuan thought of was to poison and kill. Poisoning Zhu Yipai is both convenient and safe, and can minimize the bad social impact.

Deng Fanxi was stunned and asked, "Does Governor Fang want to poison him with arsenic?" This can be detected as long as the government officials do an autopsy, is it too obvious, how to hide people's eyes? ”

Zhu Yihai also said, "My brother Wang is very cautious, but all food and drinking water will be tasted first, or the silver needle will be used to test the poison, arsenic poisoning is afraid that it will not be hidden!" ”

Fang Yuan's gaze fell on Zhu Yihai, and he said unhurriedly, "Zhu Yipai likes to drink all day long, right!" ”

Zhu Yihai didn't know why he suddenly asked Zhu Yipai if he drank alcohol on weekdays, so he could only answer truthfully, "Yes, I don't leave my hands on weekdays, and after hearing about the Manchu invasion, I know that Yanzhou Mansion will inevitably fall, and I am even more drunk today, and I often get drunk." ”

"That's it!"

Fang Yuan secretly applauded, since the simple poisoning could not help Zhu Yipai, he could only use binary synthesis poisoning to take Zhu Yipai's life.

He came up with the idea that a cephalosporin antibiotic would have a disulfiram-like reaction with alcohol. A large number of cephalosporin antibiotics and a large amount of alcohol reaction can be fatal if not rescued in time. At worst, Zhu Yipai could be knocked unconscious in a short period of time, unable to fall into bed, and no longer able to participate in any military and political affairs.

Fang Yuan excused himself and opened the Taobao system, bought a small bottle of colorless and odorless high-efficiency cephalosporin powder in the system, tore off the outer packaging, and brought it to Zhu Yihai and Deng Fanxi.

The two couldn't see what these white powders were, Fang Yuan said lightly, "These white powders are my homemade treasures, as long as Zhu Gongzi takes advantage of Zhu Yipai's heavy drinking, put these white powders into the tea, water, or meals he wants to drink, and within three days, Zhu Gongzi will be able to replace them." ”

Zhu Yihai cautiously took some high-efficiency cephalosporin powder, spread it in his palm and smelled it, but there was no taste; I poured some more into the water, and it immediately dissolved in the water, and the water had no color; I tried the poison with a silver needle, but there was no response; In the end, the official found a wild cat, and poured it down, and the wild cat jumped around without discomfort at all.

Zhu Yihai saw that the wild cat was alive, where was there any sign of death, and asked in amazement, "Governor Fang, can this thing really be deadly?" ”

Fang Yuan smiled coldly, "You feed this wild cat another glass of wine, give it a try." ”

Deng Fanxi immediately ordered the official to pour another large glass of wine from the wild cat, and continued to observe the wild cat's reaction.

After two quarters of an hour, the wild cat suddenly began to convulse, foaming at the mouth, falling to the ground and struggling, slowly, the struggle became weaker and weaker, and finally died of shock.

Zhu Yihai and Deng Fanxi were dumbfounded, and they didn't know why this white powder had such magical power.

With such a magical white powder, where will Zhu Yipai still have a way to live? Zhu Yihai couldn't help but say with joy on his face, "Governor Fang, it's really a god!" Give me all this bottle of white powder! ”

Thinking about killing his brother, Zhu Yihai, who was on the throne, was actually not a good thing, Fang Yuan was only forced to cooperate with him temporarily, this precious poisoning weapon would not be given to him in large quantities, and said casually, "This precious white powder is a tribute, and I also gave it to Zhu Gongzi because of my friendship with Zhu Gongzi." ”

Fang Yuan only poured him half a bottle, which was enough to poison Zhu Yipai. Zhu Yihai didn't know whether what Fang Yuan said was true or not, so he could only promise repeatedly.

The rest of the high-efficiency cephalosporin powder, Fang Yuan took advantage of people's inattention, and all of them went into the stinky ditch, so that all the evidence had been destroyed, even if Zhu Yihai and Deng Fanxi failed to poison them, Zhu Yipai traced them down, and they couldn't find any clues.

Zhu Yihai took the high-efficiency cephalosporin powder that could cause Zhu Yipai to die, and left happily.

Fang Yuan and Chigutai returned to the pavilion, packed their bags, and were also on guard in secret, waiting for the good news that Zhu Yihai had poisoned Zhu Yipai.

If Zhu Yihai was poisoned, he would also fail, and Zhu Yi sent someone to investigate, so he immediately killed Yanzhou City and returned to Gyeonggi to meet Chongzhen before making a conclusion.

Fang Yuan waited in the post house for two days, and in the anxious anticipation, he finally looked forward to the figures of Zhu Yihai and Deng Fanxi.

As soon as Fang Yuan saw Zhu Yihai's face full of pride, he knew that this poisoning was successful.

At this time, Zhu Yihai had already regarded Fang Yuan as a benefactor, and said again and again, "Governor Fang is really a god!" My brother Wang fell into a coma after drinking and taking it, and even the doctor couldn't diagnose any disease, so he thought it was too much drinking, and it was estimated that the limit would be only one or two days. ”

The prefect Deng Fanxi said happily, "Prince Lu's heir is still young, and now His Royal Highness is in charge of the Lu Palace, and Yanzhou Mansion is saved!" There is salvation! ”

He even changed his title to His Royal Highness Zhu Yihai, it seems that King Lu's Mansion is indeed in the hands of Zhu Yihai, Fang Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief, "His Royal Highness King Lu should take out the gold, silver and jewelry according to his promise, recruit troops, and reward the army!" ”

Zhu Yihai heard that both of them called themselves His Royal Highness King Lu, and after so many years of being in the hands of Zhu Yipai, he finally turned over completely today, and said ecstatically, "Okay, good, I will immediately recruit troops, sacrifice the army, organize the soldiers and civilians of Yanzhou Mansion, and fight to the death with the Manchu Qing Dynasty!" There is a prefect of Lao Deng in government affairs, and military affairs will be entrusted to the governor of Fang. ”

Fang Yuan could only take a short rest when he arrived at Yanzhou Mansion, and he had to go to the capital to meet Chongzhen first, so he said, "His Royal Highness King Lu, I want to enter the capital immediately to face the saint, and I can't delay." ”

When Zhu Yihai heard that he was leaving, he said disappointedly, "As soon as Governor Fang leaves like this, who will defend the Lone King against the Manchu Tartars?" ”

These eight characters have not been skimmed, the canonization of King Lu must be the holy decree of the imperial court, Zhu Yihai has not waited for the holy decree, he actually began to call himself lonely, it is simply carried away, and it is by no means material for doing big things.

Fang Yuan comforted, "I will return in Beijing this time in January at the latest, and I will leave two thousand elites in Yanzhou City." However, within this month, there are some important things that His Royal Highness King Lu must do immediately. ”

Fang Yuan's preset decisive battle was in Yanzhou Mansion, and instead of taking the Xuanjia Army back and forth, it was better to stay in Yanzhou Mansion to recuperate and wait for work.

Zhu Yihai's calculation was that with Fang Yuan's weight in front of Chongzhen, the hope of holding Yanzhou Mansion was all on Fang Yuan alone, as long as Chongzhen could be persuaded to send heavy troops to defend Shandong, Yanzhou Mansion would be saved.

He didn't dare to offend Fang Yuan at this moment, and hurriedly said respectfully, "Governor Fang's orders are that the Lone King will do it." ”

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice, "First, His Royal Highness King Lu immediately ordered every guard post and every county town in Yanzhou Mansion to transfer all the people and food from the villages within a radius of 100 miles to the county seat, and all of them entered a state of readiness for war. ”

His method is actually a strong wall and a clear field, which has long been discussed by Zhu Yihai and Deng Fanxi, and Zhu Yihai is busy, "Okay." ”

"Second, it is strictly ordered that all counties do not need to fight, as long as they hold the city. If the city is lost within three days, the main book, the same knowledge, and more than 1,000 households will be disposed of by military law; If the city is lost within 10 days, the county will be known and the commander will be dealt with by military law; Whoever persists for more than 10 days is not guilty; Stick to it for more than a month and be promoted to the first level of official position. ”

Entering the city to defend, there is no need for a military order at all, because no army from the guard post in Yanzhou Mansion dares to go out of the city to fight with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Zhu Yihai responded again, "Okay." ”

Fang Yuan also said, "Third, if the city is lost, all the military rations in the city must be destroyed, and no grain can be left for the enemy. ”

Burning the grain and grass in the city in advance, after the city is broken, I am afraid that it will attract the Manchu Qing to slaughter the city in retaliation. What's more critical is whether the county magistrates and commanders of those counties will comply with the implementation.

Zhu Yihai was embarrassed and said, "Governor Fang, if this military order is passed on, I am afraid that those officials and generals who defend the city will understand that the yang is against the yin!" ”

Fang Yuan said slowly, "Then add one more article, and escort all the county magistrates, the main bookkeepers, the commanders of the guards, the same knowledge, and the families of thousands of households to Yanzhou Mansion for custody." Those who dare to have fifty stone of grain to fund the enemy, the main book, the guard office, and the thousands of households will be destroyed; Those who dare to have 100 stone of grain to fund the enemy, the county governor and the guard post command to wipe out all the following clans. Those who dare to disobey military orders and do not hand over their families will be exterminated on the spot! ”

Fang Yuan knew very well the urine nature of the officials and generals of the Ming Dynasty's prefectures and counties, and if it weren't for the harsh military law, these people would definitely open the door and surrender when they met with the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Zhu Yihai and Deng Fanxi were stunned when they heard his extremely cruel military order.

Zhu Yihai was frightened and said, "This, Governor Fang, is it too cruel?" ”

Fang Yuan also knew that this was too cruel, but he was also very helpless, and said coldly, "This is war, not on paper!" War, that's how cruel it is! ”

Only then did Zhu Yihai know the horror of real war, far from sitting in the palace and talking and laughing to command, he could win a decisive victory thousands of miles away.
