No. 013 Collaboration with the Enemy (II)
Although he really wants to get the position of the governor of the Qing court and Guangzhou, he is not an idiot, as the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, even if he can get glory and wealth by treason and defection to the enemy, it will definitely make the world shameful, fortunately, he is also mentally prepared, and he no longer cares about his bad reputation, but if you add the name of killing the king, I am afraid that even the regent of the Qing Dynasty will not dare to take him in anymore. This is clear to him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang Yuanbin seemed to have expected Ding Kuichu to say this, so he had already prepared a follow-up plan: "Ding Xiang is really bright, and the students admire it, in fact, the two adults can also understand Ding Xiang's difficulties, they said, if Ding Xiang is unwilling, they are not reluctant, as long as Ding Xiang and the other two adults can cooperate a little when they arrive." ”
Ding Kuichu smiled at this time: "Such an old man is really a little unwilling, Zikun, when you go back to resume your life, please tell Tong Zhongcheng and General Li, just say that when they arrive, the old man will definitely cooperate and live up to his mission." ”
"So there's a Laudin phase."
Ding Kuichu said with a smile: "Where, where, it's Zikun, your grace today, the old man will be rewarded in the future." ”
After speaking, he changed his words: "But the old man still has a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and I hope Zikun can give him advice." ”
"Ding Xiang, please speak up."
"Old and stupid, I don't know the destiny of heaven, I have been fighting against the king before, I can't return to obedience early, I think that this is a great crime against the sky, I am often terrified, day and night, I can't regret it so far, once I am obedient today, I only need to raise my hands to get the governor's position, but can I confirm it?"
"Ding Xiang doesn't have to be suspicious, and wait a minute." As soon as Ding Kuichu's words came out, Zhang Yuanbin knew what medicine he was selling in the gourd, just to verify his true identity and the truth of his words, Zhang Yuanbin gently tore open the edge of the robe, took out a piece of letterhead, and handed it to Ding Kuichu, after Ding Kuichu took the letter with both hands, the two looked at each other and smiled, and both secretly scolded each other's old fox in their hearts, Ding Kuichu carefully unfolded the letterhead and read it.
"The book is sent to Ding Gongjunjian...... People and ministers are the masters, and if they have something to do, they will do their best, and they will be invincible, even for days.
Ding Gong is the first Ming minister, the elder of the Five Dynasties, highly respected, and now he is serving the Ming, taking advantage of the time to build the immortal merit, this heroic thing is also!
Now the south of the board, the two Guangxi are not peaceful, this Cheng Ding Gong with the autumn of the martial arts, so Yang Jia and Cheng Dong specially invited the regent to cast the seal of the governor of Liangguang to treat each other, only hope that when the soldiers arrive, Ding Gong can join hands with us to eradicate the thief atmosphere, and create a peaceful ......"
After reading it, Ding Kuichu was overjoyed, and his doubts disappeared, and after putting the letterhead close to him, he pretended to be sad and said: "The old man is attached to the Qing this time, not for himself, but for the sake of his family and subordinates, and he will not give up, and he has followed the old man loyally for decades, how can the old man watch them innocently accompany the funeral of the false Ming, and how many people in the world can know about this heart?"
Alas, don't say it, please Zikun stay in my mansion for the time being, and wait for the old man to prepare gifts for Tong Zhongcheng and General Li tomorrow, and Zikun will return to the two honorables with the old man's handwriting. ”
Wanting to be a **** and setting up a memorial arch, Zhang Yuanbin wandered in his heart for a while, and chuckled: "Ding Xiang is compassionate and compassionate, how can a secular person solve it?" The students thought that our generation did not have to take into account people's words, but just wanted peace of mind. ”
"Hehe......"
"Hehe......"
When the words fell, the two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
This night, Ding's mansion was full of lights, the lights were bright, Ding Kuichu set up a banquet, the beauty was mellow, and Zhang Yuanbin was entertained to the fullest, and one or two smug laughter came out from time to time at the banquet.
The next day, five or six carts were pushed out by the chariot and horse master in Ding's mansion, and a few boxes were placed on each car, and then twenty knights dressed in cotton robes and dressed as a family man came out together, their movements were neat and uniform, their posture was vigorous and fierce, and they were equipped with knives, guns, bows and crossbows.
The last person to come out was dressed in a cocooned silk cotton robe, wearing a warm hat decorated with high-quality jade, and his body was short and fat, and it was Zhang Yuanbin, who came to discuss surrender with Ding Kuichu this time.
Beside Zhang Yuanbin, there was also a housekeeper deacon wearing a buckle and a round collar, and as soon as they got out of the gate of Dingfu, they swaggered towards the east gate of Wuzhou Mansion.
In an alley outside the main gate of Ding's mansion, several gray-clothed men gathered together.
"Lord Guo, they came out."
"I know, there are many people in the city, and it is inconvenient to act, and it is not too late to do it when there is no one outside the city. Lord Wu, what do you think? ”
"Hehe, the emperor said, this matter is mainly for you, and I am only responsible for assisting you in arresting people, and everything is up to you."
The two people who spoke were naturally the two giants of Jinyiwei - Guo Chenghao and Wu Jihei, and Zhu Youlang sent both of them out this time, which shows the importance of this matter.
Guo Chenghao nodded and said: "They have more than 20 guards, they look very good, the emperor has explained, this group of people must be caught, not one is missed, those who dare to resist will be killed, and the news must not be leaked out."
If you want to be annihilated, if you want to be three to one, we need at least sixty good hands, for the sake of safety, this official decided to send forty Jinyi captains to be responsible for arresting and killing, and Lord Wu has good combat strength, so he will send out sixty imperial guards to ensure that nothing goes wrong, how? ”
"No problem, I'll go and transfer troops now."
"Okay, this official will also send someone to gather the good hands scattered everywhere."
After the two of them finished their discussion, the team split into three, one continued to follow, and the other two were responsible for gathering men.
……
Fifty miles away from Wuzhou, the convoy from Dingfu was walking slowly on the country road, all around it was empty, and as far as the eye could see, there was hardly a village in sight, there was a trace of people, and the fields on the side of the road were full of thatch and thorns.
In the war-torn season, the people fled and died, and most of the rest chose to be in the mountains and dangerous places, and together they contributed money and efforts to build 'high-rise buildings' to protect themselves. 'High-rise building' is also called 'fort wall', and Fujian's tulou has the same magic, "the enemy is coming, you can tend to cattle, sheep, women, old and young to live there." Most of the 'high-rise buildings' in Lingnan are close to mountains and rivers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and are a good way for the people to avoid war.
"General Peng, how long do you think this pseudo-Ming can last?" Zhang Yuanbin looked at the desolate and dilapidated scene around him, and said to Ding Kuichu's cronies beside him.
Peng Liming sat on a horse with an undeniable expression: "In the eyes of the last general, when Tong Futai and Li Junmen's soldiers arrive, it will be the day of its destruction." ”
"Haha, that's a good point, the puppet Ming emperor is cowardly and incompetent, and his ability is not as good as that of my Qing regent, and there is even more party strife in the court, and there is a miasma.
The army is weaker, since Wanli, the Ming army will be defeated in every battle, a thousand miles of collapse, I Qing Eight Banners Iron Cavalry field invincible, since breaking through the pass into the fortress, attacking all overcome, invincible, two or three years portable to dominate the world swept across the north and south, swept the Central Plains.
Whether it is Li Chuang's Shun Army, Zhang Rebell's Western Army or those uncompetitive soldiers and horses of the Pseudo-Ming ******, as long as they hear that our Qing soldiers are coming, or they hear the wind and rats, or abandon their armor and surrender, there is no one who dares to poke their soldiers, my Qing Dynasty troops are so strong, and they are really strong! ”
Zhang Yuanbin's words were full of pride, as if after saying these words, he also became the Conglong Yuanxun who entered the customs with Dolgon, completely forgetting that he was still a Han.
