No. 149 Li Chengdong reversed (II)
After singing the song, Li Chengdong sighed meaningfully to Tong Yangjia who was sitting next to him: "It's really a time flies, it's almost impossible to be confused in the blink of an eye!" ”
For Li Chengdong's admiration, Tong Yangjia, who was still savoring the wonderful performance of Fangcai Liyuan opera, didn't seem to understand the deep meaning of this sentence, but just replied to Li Chengdong in passing: "But isn't it, the governor is about to know the destiny of heaven."

Originally, in Tong Yangjia's view, Li Chengdong just felt a little emotion about life because he saw the performance on stage, so he also sighed with emotion to get closer to each other. However, this time Tong Yangjia was wrong, and the actual situation was not the case.
"The great husband must do things that leave a name for eternity, how can he be detained and controlled by others? I will now come to my senses. ”
Li Chengdong's next shout almost scared Tong Yangjia into falling off his seat. And just when Tong Yangjia suspected that something was wrong with his ears, a scene that made him even more unexpected happened.
All the sounds at the banquet stopped abruptly with Li Chengdong's shouting, followed by Li Chengdong cutting off the money rattail at the back of his head with a knife in front of him, which symbolized submission, and then handed the knife that had cut the braids to the attendant next to him, and the attendant turned around and handed the knife to him.
The change in the situation seemed to be a little too fast, and Tong Yangjia couldn't react for a while, so he didn't speak. Finally Tong Yangjia figured out the situation, this is a mutiny! But it was too late.
However, Tong Yangjia is worthy of being a person who has experienced a big scene, and under the attention of everyone, Tong Yangjia finally gave his reply in time: "Anyway, it's a big deal, and it still needs to be discussed." ”
Obviously, in this situation, Tong Yangjia's reply did not satisfy everyone, especially Li Chengdong, he immediately saw Tong Yangjia's intentions, he had sent troops to control the whole city during the time when he had just gone out, and now the whole of Guangzhou, including this banquet, is his own confidants, Tong Yangjia said that he obviously wanted to delay the army and wait for rescue, but Li Chengdong could not let his wishful thinking be completed.
Li Chengdong felt that it was necessary for him to dispel Tong Yangjia's idea of playing tricks as soon as possible, he looked at Tong Yangjia with a nervous face and said: "If the state government officials have different intentions, if they kill them, why do they need to discuss?" ”
As Li Chengdong spoke, he left his seat and made a gesture to draw a knife and slash people.
"Ahh Tong Yangjia was startled again when he heard this, looked at Li Chengdong with a murderous face, and turned his head to look at the state officials around him, many of whom were promoted by themselves at the beginning, but who knew that at this moment, they just didn't see it.
Tong Yangjia's heart jumped suddenly, looking at the reactions of these state officials, it was obvious that they had already communicated with Li Chengdong in advance, and now that they were behaving like this, their attitude was undoubtedly revealed. If they really all agreed, then they would be the commander of the light pole.
Thinking of this, Tong Yangjia couldn't help but sweat coldly, and he admitted it on the spot, honestly cut off the money rattail that symbolized loyalty to the Qing court in public, and announced that he agreed to belong to the Ming Dynasty from now on anyway.
After receiving a satisfactory reply, Li Chengdong was very happy. What he needs Tong Yangjia to do is limited to these things, so as soon as Tong Yangjia finished speaking, Li Chengdong ordered him to be placed under house arrest in his own military camp and strictly guarded.
Tong Yangjia is of great significance anyway, he can not be killed, and Li Chengdong is not so tolerant of the more than 1,000 Liao soldiers of the Han Eight Banners who stayed in Guangzhou City. These Liao soldiers are the hardcore loyal dogs of the Qing court, and they have always only listened to the military orders of Tong Yangjia, so Li Chengdong did not say a word, and immediately launched 20,000 troops into the city, and they all hunted and killed, cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and never suffered in the future.
Because it had already been discussed with Yuan Pengnian and others in advance, when it really took action, it seemed that the simple vigorous and resolute action was no longer enough to describe the speed of Guangzhou anyway.
Li Chengdong and others ordered the military and civilians of the city to cut off their braids and take off their horse coats on the second day after they took control of the city and restore their Hanfu clothes.
Since most of the state capitals such as Huizhou, Chaozhou, and Guangzhou in eastern Guangdong were guarded by Li Chengdong's generals, as soon as the news from Guangzhou came, the state capitals in the area under their jurisdiction responded one after another, and even the Qing court had been painstakingly wooing, and Geng Xianzhong, who had been entrusted with important tasks, also publicly stated that he would no longer work for the Qing court, and the joint deputy general Zhou Bao announced in Nanxiong that he would be anyway. Since then, more than 30,000 soldiers in more than 30 counties of the five provinces in eastern Guangdong, plus the green battalion, have returned to the control of the Ming Dynasty under the leadership of Li Chengdong and others.
Anyway, the news of Li Chengdong's presence in Guangdong reached Xingdu, Guangxi, Huguang, and all parts of the country were boiling again, except for Zhu Youlang and a few henchmen, the other ministers were excited and more incredulous at the same time, until the original Gao Lei governor Hong Tianzhu, who had been surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and the scholar He Wuyu and others were ordered by Li Chengdong to go to Huguang to meet the emperor in the camp, and handed over the household registration album of Guangdong to Zhu Youlang.
Li Chengdong confirmed that it was true anyway, and Zhu Youlang generously said that he was not guilty of what everyone had done before, and did not discriminate against these courtiers who had been out of discipline as Li Chengdong was worried at first.
As a result, Li Chengdong was awarded the title of Governor of Guangdong, the second-rank Wuwei General, and the third-class Marquis of Guangchang; Li Chengdong's adopted son, Li Yuanyin, the main participant in the operation anyway, was appointed as the general of Xuanwu from the third grade, the first-class guard in front of the emperor, and served with him; Anyway, the chief planner of the operation, Yuan Pengnian, is the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites; Geng Xianzhong is the right attendant of the Criminal Department.
Even Tong Yangjia, who surrendered as a last resort and "the heart of the dead is not dead", was also named a third-class Xiangping Bo by Yongli, and the military department was still the book. Of course, this is only on the surface, Zhu Youlang knew that Tong Yangjia was a hardcore traitor and loyal dog, but under the persecution of the sword, he had to agree anyway, so secretly, he ordered Li Chengdong's adopted son Li Yuanyin to test Tong Yangjia, if he still had delusions, he ordered to wait for the opportunity to kill.
The reason why Li Yuanyin was looking for him was mainly because he was afraid that rashly killing Tong Yangjia would cause Li Chengdong and them to be suspicious, and if Li Chengdong and others were involved, the misunderstanding could naturally be eliminated.
Li Yuanyin got a secret order, visited Tong Yangjia, and said to him: "The public is an important minister of the country, and the safety of the society is in danger, and now that he is the secretary of the military department, why not ask the emperor to lead the troops out of Guangzhou by the public to make meritorious deeds?" ”
Tong Yangjia was overjoyed when he heard this, and said yes again and again. He was worried that he would not be able to recruit the remaining subordinates from all over Guangdong, and when the Qing army would call, could he forgive him?
When you arrive in Guangzhou, you will first raise the banner of the Qing Dynasty and attack the Ming army, and it will be easy to say. Tong Yangjia then asked the emperor to voluntarily supervise Guangzhou and serve the country, and Zhu Youlang completely understood his thoughts and happily agreed.
Tong Yangjia recruited the rest of the army, and Liu Xianming took more than 300 Liao soldiers to return to Guangzhou by boat, Li Yuanyin secretly played the emperor and said: "Tong Shangshu was quite low-key and decadent a few days ago, and when he heard that he was allowed to return to Guangzhou, he was very enthusiastic and notified the rest of the army. The first striker is the first to control the people, and the latter is the one who is the second to control the people, and if you don't get rid of this traitor immediately, there will be endless troubles. ”
Zhu Youlang secretly issued an order and ordered Li Yuanyin to get rid of the thief.
When Tong Yangjia arrived in Sanshui, Li Yuanyin had already set up ambushes on both sides of the river, and as soon as Tong Yangjia arrived, ten thousand arrows were fired together, Tong Yangjia, Liu Xianming and the remaining more than 300 Liao soldiers were all shot dead in the river, and the internal harm was lifted.
