In the middle of March of the first year of Yongli, the battle of Huguang was carried out for less than a month, Jiangxi Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren suddenly anyway, except for Ganzhou, all other state capitals returned to the Ming Dynasty almost overnight, the situation in the south changed dramatically, the Qing army was panicked, but the Ming army and people were deeply encouraged and overjoyed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhu Youlang Junchen took advantage of the situation of King Sanshun to attack the Ming army's light enemy and raided the rear town of Changde, and took the enemy by surprise, and then took advantage of its division of troops to counterattack, a hard battle at Yingtianguan, forced back the rest of Kong Youde, and finally reversed the passive strategic situation. However, there are not many opportunities for this kind of after all, King Sanshun has suffered several losses in a row, and he will definitely be cautious below, as can be seen from his retracted fist, retreated to his lair, and focused on guarding against the Jiujiang King Deren Department not far from Yuezhou.

However, the surprise of the Ming monarchs and ministers to the Qing court was not over, and the god of fate favored the Ming Dynasty again, so that the Ming Dynasty could truly get a new life and a turnaround.

As the news of Jin Shenghuan's anyway spread to Guangzhou, Guangdong, as a battle-hardened general, Li Chengdong quickly realized that Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren and others would have a huge impact on the war situation in the south anyway.

Jiangxi was once again subsumed into the Ming Dynasty and the Qing army's defeat in the Battle of Huguang meant that the Ming court center in Zhaoqing, Guangdong, was not only relieved of the trouble of being attacked on the back of the enemy, but instead had a stable rear, and once the three places united and acted in unison, Guangzhou was bound to fall into isolation and be vulnerable to attacks from all sides. For a while, Li Chengdong felt that he was under a lot of pressure, and he frowned all day long, sighing.

At this moment, Li Yuanyin, who had endured for several months, decided that the time was ripe, so he took the opportunity of Li Chengdong looking at Jiangxi and Huguang Junbao and was silent, and said: "Father, don't worry, even if the development of things is still unknown, the worst is to be Jin Shenghuan's second." ”

Li Chengdong's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, which made Li Yuanyin still not sure what his father was thinking, so a few days later, he saw an opportunity to ask Li Chengdong a question, and this question happened to be the one that Li Chengdong had been thinking about in the past few days.

"In case General Jin persuades him with a ruler book, how should my father reply?"

Li Yuanyin is worthy of being a thoughtful and good at seizing the opportunity, so when he asked so suddenly, he stopped Li Chengdong on the spot. However, without waiting for Li Chengdong to answer, Li Yuanyin spoke his heart instead of Li Chengdong: "From there, you will succumb to General Jin; If you don't obey, you can't hang the army for thousands of miles, and guard the sea for the ugly. ”

Yes, if you promise Jin Shenghuan to follow you anyway, it is bound that the merit will be under Jin Shenghuan and others; And if you don't agree, Guangzhou's one-third of an acre of land may not be able to hold on to the situation where the Ming army is flourishing and there are many righteous teachers.

It's a dilemma. At this time, Tong Yangjia was planning to order Li Chengdong to lead the army to aid Ganzhou, which was being attacked by Jin Shenghuan's troops, and if he did not cooperate with Jin, he would inevitably meet each other, which made Li Chengdong quite hesitant.

After all, it's a big deal anyway, and it's never the same as child's play! Besides, he had forced the two Ming emperors of Longwu and Shaowu to death, after returning to the Ming Dynasty, would the courtiers find trouble for themselves because of this?

After Li Yuanyin stepped back, a series of questions lingered in Li Chengdong's mind again, making him undecided.

When he invaded Guangdong, Li Chengdong seized more than 2,000 seals, but he left the seals of the governor of Liangguang and Guangxi that were not handed over, and he played with them when he had nothing to do. His beloved concubine Zhao saw his thoughts at that time.

Zhao can sing and dance, poetry and etiquette, and color and art. Unlike other women, she is not only interested in things like rouge gouache, but also very concerned about current affairs. In her opinion, Li Chengdong was deeply favored by the Ming Dynasty and was originally a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, so he should not serve the captives.

After learning of the vigorous anyway activities carried out by Jin Shenghuan and others in Jiangxi, he was infected, and took the opportunity to encourage Li Chengdong to say: "If you want to be the governor of Liangguang, you have to find the Ming Emperor, and it is impossible for the Manchurians to hand over Liangguang to you, a Han man." The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden. Don't say that you are a latecomer, that is, Hong Chengchou, King Sanshun, and Wu Sangui, sooner or later they will also be the meat on the board of the Manchurians, and it is impossible for you to really grasp the power of the feudal territory. ”

Li Chengdong said: "I also know this matter, Yuan Pengnian, Yin'er has also repeatedly encouraged me. To be a slave to the Manchurians, I didn't want to, but I was forced here step by step, can Daming really be able to prosper? If you want to return to Mingyi, what if you are humiliated again? ”

Zhao said: "The concubine often reads poetry and books, and knows many great heroes and heroes of the Han family, such as Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu, etc. I also know a lot of Han thieves who work for the tiger, such as Qin Hui, Zhang Bangchang and others. A manly man should stand up to the sky and the earth, and don't live like a pig and a dog. If the general is a man, he will be a loyal and righteous hero, even if he dies, he will be remembered for eternity, is it better than being a dog to the Manchurians? ”

Li Chengdong hesitated; "There are more than 100 people in the house, all of whom are watching in the hands of Songjiang Tartars, and if things don't work out, they all have to suffer. Let me think about this matter, and there is no turning back when I draw the bow, and there is no way back. ”

Zhao sneered: "What a mighty general, even Jin Shenghuan is not as good." Your life is so precious. Aren't you afraid of injuring your wives and concubines? The concubine's life is cheap, and you can take the first step to become a king. ”

After speaking, he took out his sword and wiped it on his neck, and the fragrance disappeared.

Because the incident happened suddenly, it was too late to rescue, Li Chengdong could only watch his concubine kill herself in front of him. He didn't expect that his concubine's character was so strong that he committed suicide. After coming back to his senses, his intestines were all repentant, and Li Chengdong caressed the corpse and cried: "I'm not as good as a martial artist as a fierce woman, it's really in vain!" ”

The concubine's death admonished Li Chengdong deeply, and finally made up his mind to do the opposite.

So he recruited Li Yuanyin and Yuan Pengnian and other major planners into his bedroom to make decisions under the pretext of visiting the sick through ill health, and discussed this matter together for three whole days.

Three days later, a shocking drama was staged in Guangzhou.

At the invitation of Li Chengdong, Tong Yangjia, the governor of Liangguang, came to Li's mansion to attend a banquet. Since he became the governor of Liangguang for more than a year, Tong Yangjia has been busy, not only guarding against the remnants of the Ming regime in western Guangdong, but also concentrating on doing a good job in internal affairs, and by the way, suppressing the rebellions of the righteous people in the territory one after another, and Tong Yangjia's spirit has always been in a state of tension. Now that he finally had a chance to take a break and have some entertainment, Tong Yangjia accepted the invitation without thinking too much.

Seeing the arrival of Governor Tong, officials at all levels in Guangzhou went out of the palace to greet them under the leadership of Admiral Li Chengdong and Yuan Pengnian, who had just been promoted to the political envoy of Guangdong.

In addition to the sumptuous dishes at the banquet, Li Chengdong also specially invited a very famous local opera troupe to sing in order to effectively take on the important task of cheering the banquet. After learning about this, Tong Yangjia was even more happy in his heart, and his vigilance dropped to the lowest point ever.

During this period, Li Chengdong took a trip back to the government office, and then returned immediately, Tong Yangjia didn't think much about it, after the banquet began, the children of Liyuan behind the stage also appeared on the stage with crowns, and sang gongs. (To be continued.) )
