Chapter 521: Forced Surrender

In the history without Li Meng, Liu Yuanbin should now be the eunuch of Nanjing, and he played a great role in the establishment of the Nanming regime, and then controlled the government with Ma Shiying and others, and did not let the Donglin people enter the core of the government.

Now, for various reasons, Liu Yuanbin has always been a supervisor or a commander and eunuch, and he has always led the troops to train the troops, and he has not obtained any peaceful and wealthy positions.

The white and chubby Liu Yuanbin is still vaguely like a military general, and his gestures are quite disciplined, and there is a little bit of powerful blocking.

In the evening of tomorrow, it is really rare for Liu Yuanbin to have such a posture as a eunuch, and the 200,000 Beijing battalions under his command, although they are straw bales, Liu Yuanbin can almost restrain them, and the more than 20,000 Chu troops directly under him still have combat effectiveness, to be honest, such skills are already considered to be leaders.

With such ability, Emperor Chongzhen did not say that he was using it, but instead sent the deputies of Xungui, Wenchen and eunuchs to control Liu Yuanbin.

If it was an ordinary general, if he was surrounded like this, I am afraid that he would have been furious and ran away with his troops, this Liu Yuanbin is a eunuch from the inner palace, and he has long been familiar with Emperor Chongzhen's style, so he pinched his nose and recognized it.

Even so, Liu Yuanbin was also given a nickname here, called "Tong Guan", the meaning of this nickname is undoubtedly extremely insulting, but these scholars can't afford to offend, although it is ugly, but Liu Yuanbin can only endure it, and the ministers of the DPRK and China are also scolded, Liu Yuanbin simply lives directly in the military camp outside the city, one is the next office of the Beijing Division's civil strife, I don't know how many spies from all sides, safety is not guaranteed, and the other is to stay outside the city, away from the noise and noise in the city.

Inside and outside the city of the Beijing Division, everyone thinks that the one who has combat effectiveness is the thousands of soldiers under the imperial horse monitoring system, and no one thinks that the Beijing camp has any combat effectiveness, and everyone pays little attention to him.

This Liu Yuanbin is clean, his admiral Yamen is in the east of the capital city, and his 20,000 Chu troops are also stationed here, because all the Tartars enter the Kou, they all come from the Yongping Mansion, and the soldiers and horses on his side must act as the first line of defense against the Tartars.

More than 200,000 Beijing battalions, the imperial court pieced together sixty percent of the military salary, Liu Yuanbin deducted most of the 20,000 Chu troops to himself, and the rest of the fraction was distributed to the other battalion heads.

After being around the Beijing Division for such a long time, Liu Yuanbin, the commander and eunuch of the Beijing camp, has also trained thousands of soldiers and horses, and with these troops, he can also control 20,000 Chu troops.

The news that the Jiaozhou battalion was about to send troops to Shuntianfu came over, and all parts of the Beijing camp were scattered like an avalanche, that is, the troops controlled by Liu Yuanbin could still be maintained, and I don't know why, but at this time, Liu Yuanbin put on a posture of loyalty to the king, and ordered the troops to strengthen their vigilance and implement martial law around the military camp station.

Although Liu Yuanbin can also control the troops here, people who understand a little bit of things are wondering, thinking that you Liu Yuanbin are confused, how can you beat the Jiaozhou battalion in Shandong.

Not only other people think so, even Emperor Chongzhen also has a similar idea, the Beijing division from civil officials to military generals, officials and servants, soldiers and soldiers either discarded their errands and mixed with the civilians, or directly took some family funds out of the city and went to the countryside, and some went directly to Shandong soldiers and horses.

Anyway, between Shuntian Mansion and Hejian Mansion and Yongping Mansion, it is not too far away, whoever wants to be a fool of a loyal minister and a righteous son, he will do it, everyone will watch the excitement. You, Liu Yuanbin, want to give this mean and ungrateful Ming Court Chongzhen a funeral, and everyone will not die with you.

Originally, the Jiaozhou battalion had more than 8,000 garrisons in Tianjin Sanwei, and it was directly drawn first, and then replaced after the soldiers and horses of the headquarters came.

The proclamation was posted in less than two days, and the troops of these four regiments had already passed through Yangcun and approached Wuqing, and the more than 2,000 soldiers of the Ming Army stationed in Wuqing did not even have the idea of withdrawing to the Beijing division, but directly went out of the city to surrender, and after handing over their weapons, they went back to their respective homes.

They were originally the troops drawn by Ding Zhuang from the local households, firstly, they were unwilling to fight hard, and secondly, they felt that Shandong was still good due to the various things they had seen and heard from Hejian Mansion.

When a large army is dispatched, it must always be followed by food, grass and baggage supplies, and there are more than 8,000 people in four regiments, and it is a force that relies heavily on ammunition, so it is a bit reckless to advance such a light division.

Some of the well-intentioned nobles and bigwigs in the Beijing division sent people to stare at the situation of the counties named by the Jiaozhou battalion, and when they saw the troops in Shandong swaggering so much, they were all a little disdainful no matter how they came before and after, and they thought to themselves, if Shandong's actions were so reckless, they really had to wait a little longer to express their attitude.

The next thing made them dumbfounded, that Wuqing County had already set up a military station in advance, and in the warehouses serving Caoyun inside and outside the city, there were piles of grain and grass, and even ammunition, and the local people Ding Zhuang had also arranged it early, if it was grain and grass, it might be the original reserve, but this ammunition, except for Shandong, what else could be used, this was obviously prepared a long time ago.

Wuqing County has always been stationed in the troops of the Beijing camp, and there are also spies in Jinyiwei and Dongchang who are watching how to prepare materials for the Jiaozhou camp and recruit people to make a swagger.

Wuqing is like this, presumably the rest of the places are the same, such a trend, Shandong's soldiers and horses are not good at artillery, even if there is no cannon, I am afraid that when it reaches the city, someone in the city will directly open the city gate.

Doing these logistics work, naturally in the Liu family of Jinzhou, Zhending Prefecture, now Liu Qingsong is already one of the senior civil officials of the Jiaozhou battalion system, hearing that the army is going to send troops to Shuntianfu, in addition to being excited, Liu Qingsong is also waiting for a rare opportunity to sell well, saying that it is a soldier and a fast soldier, it is better to let the Liu family undertake the logistics of the army.

When Liu Qingsong sent someone to send an urgent letter to the patriarch Liu Qingyang, he also separately explained in the letter that if the family felt that the expenses were too great, he still made some money as an official for so many years, and was willing to make up for it, which was an investment for the wealth of the Liu family.

Liu Qingyang understands better than Liu Qingsong, since Jiaozhou used their Liu family as an agent for private salt in Beizhili, and after defeating Shanxi Goldman Sachs, their business has grown like an explosion, Goldman Sachs and those transactions on the grassland, most of them were almost eaten by the Liu family and Lingshan Commercial Bank, how much money was made, Liu Qingyang naturally knew in his heart, and only hated himself for not going to associate with Li Meng when he started his family, and it was already a little late, if Jiaozhou won the world in the future, even if it was to occupy the north, The market in Shaanxi is divided into a little bit to the Liu family, and it is also an inexhaustible wealth.

Now that I am running munitions, not to mention the profits, I can rely on this to bring my family and Shandong closer together, that is thank God.

Naturally, Liu Qingsong didn't need to take money to make up for it, Liu Qingyang even stopped some of his business going to Shanxi, and used all the forces that could be mobilized to prepare military funds.

The Liu family is a large family that can be counted in the North Zhili, and the business is everywhere, and the relationship with the big clans in various places is good, this time it is also at the expense of the cost of these relationships to use, the help of the head snake of the Liu family, plus the deep penetration of the Qing Cha Si Shandong Salt Gang and Lingshan Commercial Bank system, this is the scene that makes the people of Bei Zhili and Beijing stunned.

In fact, now except for thirty miles around the Jingshi, there is no official scout horse wandering, Liu Yuanbin knows the news of Wuqing, or rely on the sentinel arranged by himself.

Although he is camping outside the city of Beijing now, Liu Yuanbin's soldiers and horses are in a situation as if they are in a field battle, and they must camp tremblingly, and send outposts to investigate outside, which is also an embarrassing situation.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, in many places, this day known as the small year is equivalent to the official announcement of the beginning of the Spring Festival, but how can the current Jingshi have a little New Year's atmosphere.

Liu Yuanbin's battalion in the east of the Beijing division was even more heavily guarded, and the soldiers were no longer allowed to go out easily, and it was completely like a storm.

But in such a tense situation, Liu Yuanbin, the eunuch of the Admiral Jingying, was actually meeting guests, and with the tense situation, Liu Yuanbin, who held the strongest armed force inside and outside the Beijing Division, suddenly rose in status, and the rest of his Chu army could not be transferred, even if he wanted to be replaced, he had to consider the danger of mutiny.

It turned out that Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch of the high celebrant and eunuch, now has to talk to Liu Yuanbin politely, Wang Chengen is now very envious of Cao Huachun, who has retired and returned to his hometown, he has made enough money to return to his hometown, with the style of doing things in Shandong, Eunuch Cao can be a rich man comfortably in the future, he Wang Chengen and Emperor Chongzhen are one in honor and disgrace, go there to run.

The current Emperor Chongzhen is already in a trance, and at this time he has to do something, and the great eunuch Wang Chengen can still use a lot of resources.

He took a soldier who had not yet escaped, and went out of the city with gold, silver, pigs and sheep to work the army, and Liu Yuanbin invited them into the camp.

This can be regarded as a meeting between the two big eunuchs who are in power and the opposition, but the scene is extremely cold, Wang Chengen's attitude is very low, and the soldier is even more servile, but Liu Yuanbin is very indifferent, and it can even be said that he is indifferent, and the chief eunuch Wang Chengen does not ask for any transfer this time.

He just wanted the other party to give him a promise, that is, Liu Yuanbin would not betray the promise of the imperial court, but Liu Yuanbin was unwilling to give such a promise, these eunuchs in the palace were the most important of these false courtesies, Liu Yuanbin was not even willing to be polite this time, and never gave a clear answer, until the end, he said vaguely, "Our family is also a person of love, and we will not put a knife on the neck of an acquaintance."

Getting this specious promise is better than no promise, Wang Chengen's heart was cold, but he still left the barracks with a smile on his face, and now the situation has completely changed.

He wanted to go back and persuade Emperor Chongzhen, there was a prince in Jiangnan, money and food, more soldiers and horses to rely on, and a territory that was not destroyed, going there, even if it was a good place, but this thought flashed in Wang Chengen's mind.

Chen Yan, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Jin Yiwei all commanded Luo Yangxing, and even before Zhang Guowei, the secretary of the military department, was imprisoned, he had advised Emperor Chongzhen to abandon the north and go to the south of the Yangtze River in order to make a comeback, but Emperor Chongzhen replied with a crying voice:

"Didn't I become the king of the fallen country at the end of the Song Dynasty, how will the history books say about me in the future, and how can I be worthy of my ancestors and ancestors."

Every time the chief eunuch Wang Chengen thinks of this, he can't help but scold in his stomach, Your Majesty, you are already a king of a dead country, and the history books will definitely not have a high evaluation of you, if Taizu and Chengzu have a spirit, they will definitely cramp and peel your skin, scold and scold, Chongzhen does not leave, Wang Chengen can't go, he can scold like this, it is also because he sees himself as Emperor Chongzhen is a character, and he is always extremely discouraged, but he still looks at such a step by step towards death.

They returned to the city in the cold wind and rain, but they didn't expect them to walk on the front foot, and Liu Yuanbin's camp on the back foot came again, and several guests who came this time were all harmonious, all dressed as businessmen, and were reprimanded by the guards at the gate of the barracks.

provoked a group of guards at the door, as well as the officers below, guessing who the hell this was......

Liu Yuanbin, who met these "businessmen", retreated left and right, but called in the following generals and guerrillas who were close to him, but the businessman was not stage frightened, nor did he lower his status, he politely said a few words, then stood up and said directly:

"Father-in-law Liu, now that the situation is clear, make a choice this morning, don't delay this last chance."

Liu Yuanbin didn't say anything too humble, but sat there with his head down, and when he heard the other party speak crisply, he spoke slowly:

"Qi Guogong's army is invincible, our family naturally won't do that stupid thing of using the mantis arm as a car, didn't the previous letter say it clearly, what, what else does Qi Guogong want our family to do?"

The merchant turned around and hugged his fists in the direction of the capital, turned around and said with a smile:

"If Gonggong Liu wants to protect the peace and wealth of himself and the deployment below, and if he wants to let his nephew have a career future under the rule of Guogong, he must have a letter of submission to hand it in."

Liu Yuanbin slowly raised his head and looked in the direction of the businessman's fist, it is worth making a name in the capital...... This is definitely not a businessman, the words of the name are black words on the rivers and lakes, but now is not the time to care about this, he knows what the businessman is talking about.

After being silent for a long time, Liu Yuanbin let out a long sigh, and suddenly, the person seemed to be ten years old......
