Zilharang was not referring to someone else, he was talking about Liu Cheng. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When he arrived in Nanjing last year, Liu Cheng was arranged by Ma Guozhu to live here. It stands to reason that the Manchu court should pay attention to one or two of the rare rebel generals in the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang. However, his official position at the time of his defection was too low, a small training officer, even if he was an official at the beginning, he was only a guerrilla general, and he had access to very little inside information, and as the responsibility for the defeat of Hu Quancai and others in Guangxin Mansion was reduced, he was gradually forgotten.

This time, Zheng Chenggong traveled thousands of miles to Nanjing, and Liu Cheng was remembered by Ma Guozhu, but it made people look at him more closely. After all, this is a traitor, since he can betray Chen Wen and surrender to the Qing Dynasty, who knows if he will choose to betray the Manchu Qing and surrender Zheng Chenggong in this crisis.

"Villain Liu Cheng, meet the prince."

Liu Chengbai fell to the ground, but Zilharang did not let him get up, but sneered at him: "Your old master, these two years have been very beautiful." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Chengdeng was in a cold sweat, swallowed his saliva, and said to Jierharang: "The villain now only knows that he is wholeheartedly loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and he has no relationship with the Zhejiang bandits. ”

Liu Cheng's words were chiseled, and the kowtow was even more sound, and Zilharang didn't doubt his meaning originally, just scaring and scaring to squeeze out more useful things is indeed the first priority now.

"Loyalty is not based on words, but by deeds."

"The villain understands, and the villain must know everything and say everything."

When the envoy arrived, Jierharang asked Liu Cheng to stand up and reply: "Then you can tell me the inside story of the Zhejiang bandits you know, don't miss anything!" ”

"In the villain's opinion, the Zhejiang bandits are nothing more than their infantry phalanx!"

………………

Jierharang rushed to Nanjing, but no one was seen, and he first had a secret conversation with Ma Guozhu for a while, and then recruited the general Liu Cheng. As for the heroes of the First Battle of Nanjing, such as Ang Bangzhang Jing Ka Kamu, Jiangnan Han Soldier Admiral Guan Loyalty, Gushan Ezhen Liu Liangzuo, and Susong Admiral Zhang Tianlu and others, they all stared at each other in the gatehouse.

These four positions are not low, and they can be said to be pivotal figures in Nanjing's city defense. However, after the arrival of Zilharang's Eight Banners Army, their role was immediately reduced. Without him, the army is strong.

There are one or two hundred people left in the four banners of the left wing of Jiangning in Jiangnan, among which there are archers and the like; The Han army banner in Jiangnan was almost completely wiped out in the first battle of Zhenjiang, and the army that could be directly ordered by the admiral was probably not as many as a guerrilla general; Liu Liangzuo's Eight Banners of the Han Army were the heroes of that battle, but there were only five or six hundred people, and they lost a lot in the troops of the palace in the face of Zheng Chenggong; The rest of Zhang Tianlu, the army has already rushed back to Suzhou Mansion to assist in the defense, and there are also a group of personal soldiers with him.

All in all, compared to the army of more than 10,000 brought by Zilharang, their usefulness has decreased a lot, and trembling is inevitable.

It's just that people are better than people, and there is always a superiority. Zhang Tianlu is a hero, and he has not lost the battle this year, so he is not panicking, and he is only worried about the reward and the next battle, but the other three have their own faults, and the attitude of Zilharang when he sees them will determine their victory or death!

The four men went into the journey of Zilharan in the morning until the sun went down. At lunchtime, Jierharang's personal soldiers asked their subordinates to bring them one, and Liu Liangzuo, who was the thickest and most worried, handed over a large amount of tickets, but only got a sentence that Zierharang was still chatting with Liu Cheng and there was nothing. If you give money again, people don't want it, as if you can tell you if you don't give money, but if you don't give anything else, you won't say it.

When the sun set, the soldiers came again, telling them to stay in Xingyuan tonight, and Jierharang and Liu Cheng hadn't chatted yet, but it wasn't certain when the conversation would be over, so let them stay in Xingyuan and wait for the summons at any time.

The four people with their own thoughts lived in Xingyuan, and there were only a limited number of personal soldiers around them, but after a whole night passed, Zierharang never summoned them, but Liu Cheng had already left Xingyuan when they moved in and returned to the residence that Ma Guozhu had arranged for him before.

Early the next morning, Liu Cheng went to Xingyuan. But this time, it was him who was waiting in the gatehouse, because Zilharang was still receiving the four Qing army marshals who had been given a cold reception yesterday.

"Admiral Zhang is the hero who repelled the Haikou this time, and the emperor has issued a decree to send Admiral Zhang's portrait to the front of the emperor for the imperial view."

"This, how can this be born, the slave is vulgar, and he really can't get into the eyes of the emperor." Hearing the news, Zhang Tianlu was so excited that he couldn't help himself, just like a young man who had never done anything in the world, and he didn't know where to put his two hands.

Zhang Tianlu's performance was seen in the eyes of Zilharang, who was very satisfied, and his respect for imperial power showed that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still the object of his allegiance in his heart. Moreover, he had repelled Zheng Chenggong before, and before that, he had slaughtered the anti-Qing rebels in Jiangnan, and according to Chen Wen's character, it was a dead end to fall into the hands of the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and it seemed that he should be a trustworthy green battalion general.

"This king remembers, you also have a younger brother who is now a chief military officer in Shaanxi?"

"Exactly."

"Hmm." Zilharang nodded, and then dropped a depth charge: "The two brothers are both loyal ministers and good generals, yes, yes, this king is willing to go to the emperor for you, and allow a clan to marry your son." ”

He and his younger brother Zhang Tianfu, the chief soldier of the Han Qiang in Shaanxi, were both Han army bannermen who carried into the Han army with yellow flags when Prince Duoduo of Yu went south, and they were their own people of the Eight Banners, the servants of the Manchu Emperor, and there was a difference between the Han people who had to call themselves "ministers" when they saw the emperor.

However, in the final analysis, the Han military banner is still the third class of eight banners below Manchuria and Mongolia, although there are many people in the Han military banner, and the political power in the early Qing Dynasty is not small, but the status is much different from the other two. Now Zilharang has proposed to allow a clan to give his son as a wife, and to be able to marry the clan, even if it is just a concubine of the red belt family, it can greatly improve the status of their family in the Eight Banners.

In the original history, such a good thing would not have befallen people like him at all. But at this moment, the situation of the Manchu Qing is not as good as before, although this candy is very sweet, but if even the Manchu Qing is finished, these are great crimes.

Zilharang said that it was a reward for merit, or that it was to win over him as a good general, and it was better to tie their brothers further to the Chariot of the Manchu Dynasty. One is prosperous, and one is lost.

Zhang Tianlu's mouth opened wide, his face full of disbelief, but Zierharang still saw that this military general was not completely blinded by this great good news, but was carefully calculating the pros and cons.

Frowning, Jierharang coughed heavily, Zhang Tianlu knew that Jierharang was already impatient, and hurriedly bowed to the ground, and agreed to the marriage, his face full of gratitude.

This multiple-choice question, for him, there is no one, two, there are only "one" and "one". He and his younger brother Zhang Tianfu are both bannermen of the Han army, and they are also the bannermen of the Han army with yellow flags, they have no way out, and now the most likely to pose a threat to the Manchu Qing Dynasty's rule in Jiangnan is only Chen Wen, and Chen Wen is a character who never rubs sand in his eyes, with an identity like them, there is only a dead end, in this case, it is better to fight to the death, there is always a chance.

After chatting for a while, Jierharang asked Zhang Tianlu to leave, and mentioned to him that the matter of the world had been discussed by the imperial court, and the edict envoy was on the way, which completely calmed Zhang Tianlu's heart, and then let him return to Suzhou with his own soldiers to continue to sit in the town.

Zhang Tianlu left Xingyuan in high spirits, he was the backbone of Suzhou in Jierharang's plan, resisting the offensive launched by the Ming army from Songjiang Mansion and the flank commander of the Ming army to contain the Ming army when Jierhalang's army moved south.

It's just that Zhang Tianlu didn't know that this conversation made Zilharang feel unprecedented shame, but it was a shame that he couldn't help but bear.

After yesterday's conversation with Ma Guozhu and Liu Cheng, Zilharang realized that the current tide of the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang had made the Manchu Qing's chances of victory in Jiangnan very small. However, if Jiangnan is abandoned, the north has gone through multiple disasters such as natural disasters, rogues, officers and soldiers, and corrupt officials, and it has long been dilapidated. But there are really no Han people, even if they flee back to the old forests in Liaodong, they are afraid that there will be no way to live.

For today's plan, he should win over all the people who can provide him with assistance, Zhang Tianlu is the most important one, because this military general also manages tens of thousands of green battalion soldiers in the Susong area, even if he only talks about the soldiers and horses in the headquarters, there are 3,000 people, and they have not suffered a major defeat, and they are all veterans for many years.

In the eighth year of Shunzhi, the Qing court issued an edict: "Let the Manchu and Han officials and people marry each other." "But the normal situation is that the banner people can marry the Han family daughters, and the banner women generally do not marry outside.

However, since there is such an edict, it can be said to be a policy loophole, Zierharang doesn't care about the fate of a banner woman, even if it is Jueluo with a red belt, but marrying a clan woman to the son of a slave of the Han army banner, he still feels that the unhappiness in his heart cannot be dissipated.

"Slave Kakhamu, Guan Allegiance, and Liu Liangzuo visit the prince."

The two Angbang Zhangjing fell to the ground, but Zilharang sneered: "Titham, Guan is loyal, you two dog minions are very good at fighting." ”

"A slave deserves death."

Seeing that Jilharang was like this, the two hurriedly bowed to the ground and kowtowed, but in exchange for Jierharang's sharp scolding.

"You two pieces of waste really deserve death!"

After that, with a wave of his hand, the big-waisted soldiers around him directly pulled the two out of the hall, pressed them to the ground, and whipped them on their bodies.

The four banners of the left wing of Jiangning in Jiangnan and the Han army flag stationed in Jiangnan were almost wiped out, and such a big crime was not an exaggeration even if it was pulled out and beheaded.

In history, Jiang Guozhu, the governor of Jiangning at the time, drove Zheng Chenggong away, but he was still a slave of the library of the Xin, and a slave of the prince of the banner, and the family property was confiscated, and only Ang Bang Zhangjing, who was stationed in the Eight Banners, was exempted from responsibility. Now that Chen Wen is under great pressure, these two guys have no choice but to let them continue to make meritorious contributions, but the matter of losing the teacher can't just be settled, and this beating is inevitable.

The whip in the courtyard was whipped on the two of them, and Liu Liangzuo lay on the ground, but the ground above his head and palms was already drenched with sweat, and even sweat was constantly dripping down his bare scalp on the top of his head, as if it was not Titicamu and Guan who were being whipped, but his solid mountain Ezhen.

"You stand up and talk back first."

Hearing this, Liu Liangzuo was like being amnestied, trembling and wanting to stand up, but his legs were already weak, and finally he stood up by using his hands and feet together, bowing his head and waiting for Zierharang's question.

"Tell the whole process of Prince An's battle to this king, if there is any misrepresentation, he will be severely punished."

"The slave must report it truthfully."

The whipping outside continued, and Liu Liangzuo didn't even bother to wipe it, so he began to report to Zilharang according to the words he had made up earlier.

The degree of authenticity is still very high, but when the army is defeated, he insists that he will first watch Yue Le withdraw from the battlefield under the protection of a group of personal soldiers, and then he will lead his troops to escape. However, the cavalry of the Ming army waited for work, and he could no longer meet Yue Le in the rout of the army, so he fled to Hangzhou alone. As a result, when he arrived in Hangzhou, he got the news that Yue Le had been killed from the mouth of the rout.

After confirming it again and again, Liu Liangzuo recalled what Yue Le had said to him before the war - "If you can't win, you should rush to Nanjing as soon as possible and try to relieve the siege of Nanjing." The implication is very simple, Nanjing broke the siege and liberated the army before it could go south to fight again with the Ming army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Liu Liangzuo naturally explained it in detail to Jierharang, and it was also recognized by Jierharang.

After explaining the details, Zierharang also had a certain degree of understanding of the tactics used by the Ming army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Yue Le's response in the battle of Qiaosi Town, and with Liu Cheng's previous interpretation, he already had a more comprehensive image in his mind.

Liu Liangzuo was able to think of fleeing to Nanjing after the defeat to make meritorious contributions, which was indeed worthy of his background as a warlord in the four towns of Jiangbei, but Jierharang's tolerance for this talent was far less high than Liu Liangzuo imagined.

"Come on, take this guy down."

The big-shouldered and round-waisted soldiers took Liu Liangzuo down, and tied it up with three strikes and five divisions, and Liu Liangzuo was already stuffed into his mouth with a rag before he could react.

"I lost my master, a prince of Heshuo, and I still want to make meritorious service to atone for my sins, do you, a dog slave, think that the lives of the royal family of the Aixin Jueluo family are as worthless as your Han dog?"

The son of Nurhachi's younger brother Shulhaqi, Zilharang was raised in Nurhachi's palace, where he was inferior to his brothers and cousins in the tyranny, but he was so cautious that he was seen as weak by his brothers and cousins.

Character determines fate, and it is precisely because of this that Zilharang was able to sit on the throne of the banner master, and was able to support Shunzhi on the throne under the condition of Dolgon's power, ensuring the status of the Huang Taiji line and his line, and this time, it was easy to separate Liu Liangzuo from the Eight Banners of the Han Army yesterday, and completed the rectification of the soldiers and horses in one night, in case of any chaos caused by Liu Liangzuo's imprisonment.

"Hold this prisoner in the capital."

An order was given to an officer of the Eight Banners, and news came from the courtyard that Titicham and Guan Xiaozhong had been knocked unconscious.

"Send these two minions to the hospital, and when they wake up, tell them that the king will spare them for the time being, and if they dare to make a mistake again this time, they will be punished for both crimes."
