Section 358 Suspicion
Yang Chao's guess is not far from ten, and Duoduo is indeed suspecting that the army has rebelled.
Duoduo knew very well in his heart that these soldiers might not really surrender one by one, and they just saw that the Eight Banners were powerful and wanted to find a master, but the order to shave their hair made the low-level soldiers and even some officers very dissatisfied.
In the past, Duoduo didn't care, the shaving order had to be enforced, because only by shaving their hair, these people could follow them with all their hearts, and the Ming army couldn't tolerate them, they had to go all the way to the dark.
It is precisely because of this method that high-ranking military officers are encircled, flags are carried for them, and their families are taken to Beijing.
Only through this series of methods can we steadily control the surrender of troops.
However, there are exceptions, some officers have no family background, so they have no scruples, and rebellions are not uncommon.
Therefore, they had to benefit, so after Yangzhou was breached this time, Duoduo generously let the newly surrendered soldiers, and even the surrendered soldiers in Yangzhou City, also participate in the plundering feast, and use the flesh and blood of the people of Yangzhou to envelop these people.
But Duoduo didn't expect that these people would still 'mutiny'.
At first, Dordor was making out with a few beautiful women, when he suddenly heard a strong noise outside, and his men reported that a thief had broken in.
His subordinates swore that Prince Yu should not worry, but Duoduo immediately became uneasy.
To be honest, Duoduo was not a timid person, as a high-ranking Manchurian leader, he also fought wars, and the habits of the nomadic people had not completely faded in him, but it was precisely because of the perennial wars that he had a very sensitive vigilance to danger.
This sixth sense made Dodor feel unusual, and he left a thousand men in the Doge's palace to defend it, and the other guards were released to take turns looting, taking advantage of this gap to sneak up on him. It shows that the thief is not an ordinary thief, he is very clear about the situation around him, and he has premeditated.
So Duoduo found that the thieves were numerous. And when his well-trained own men were constantly being killed, he only glanced through the window. He immediately made a decision, took two of his own soldiers, and immediately jumped out of the window to escape, and at the same time ordered the other guards to defend the house to cut off the rear and attract fire for him.
Duoduo fled into the garden, climbed over the back wall, went to the back alleys, and then immediately went to the Zhenhuai Gate to the north. First received the Eight Banners and a Niu Lu who were guarding the door here, and then I felt stable.
Only then did he begin to think about how to quell the rebellion, he was sure that there was no doubt that it was a disgruntled rebellion, as for the Ming army entering the city, he didn't think about this kind of thing, because he felt that it was too unbelievable, and the horse exploration report during the day, there was not a single Ming army within a radius of twenty miles, and the Ming army could not fly.
And Duoduo is for the sake of stability. The city gates were all guarded by the Eight Banners, and it was impossible to give the Ming army a chance to sneak attack.
If you climb over the city walls, it is impossible to enter the city on a large scale.
So it can only be the rebels. He would never have imagined that his trusted Eight Banners soldiers would give up the city gate to Yang Chao, and then Yang Chao's army calmly entered the city through the city gate, and there was no battle at all.
So Dodor decided that it could only be a rebellion. But who had rebelled, Duoduo really couldn't figure out for a while.
Liu Zeqing, Zhang Tianfu and Zhang Tianlu brothers He was not very suspicious, these people all surrendered on their own initiative, and Liu Zeqing's younger brother was a veteran of the Manchu Qing who surrendered in Liaodong.
The surrender of the Ming army in Yangzhou was very suspicious, but after receiving the surrender of troops in the city. Dodor almost pulled out all of them and killed the officers above the general level, and the rest of the soldiers were scattered and stuffed into the various units. They can't be a rebellion of the establishment.
Then it can only be the rebellion of the generals under Liu Liangzuo and Zhang Tianlu, at least the defection of a general or deputy general. Otherwise there could not have been thousands of soldiers.
But which general and deputy general surrendered, Duoduo really couldn't think of it, because his observation from the window showed that the sneak attack on him was definitely an elite army, although it was far worse than the Eight Banners in terms of martial arts, but there was a basis for advancing and retreating between actions, and it was definitely an elite soldier in a hundred battles, and his eyesight was absolutely not wrong.
There are definitely not many troops in the Ming army that can reach this level, and they are basically the families of the general soldiers of each town.
But which general soldier has so many elite soldiers, Duoduo really can't think of it, with his understanding, there is no such person among the surrendered general soldiers.
Then it can only be said that this renegade guy before hid his strength and never exposed it, and the first time he was exposed, he actually came to kill himself, which means that this guy has been planning for a long, long time, and he was planning long before he surrendered.
Thinking of this, Duoduo had a chill down his spine, the other party's premeditated rebellion was almost foolproof, fortunately, he escaped in time, and he escaped without any hesitation, otherwise if he hesitated a little, he was afraid that he would be blocked in the room by the other party, or chased after him.
Although he couldn't figure it out for a moment, Dodor didn't stop moving.
After taking over the soldiers at the city gate, he immediately sent an order to go down and asked people to find Zhang Tianfu and Liu Liangzuo, the leaders of the surrendered troops, and also asked the soldiers to order all the flag soldiers guarding the city, as well as the Eight Banner soldiers who robbed everywhere, to gather at Zhenhuai Gate immediately.
He must find the rebels as soon as possible, and then suppress them with the power of thunder, if it causes other soldiers to follow the rebellion, then it will not be stopped, he can only choose to evacuate Yangzhou, and after reorganizing outside the city, he will attack again.
Seeing that he had already attacked Xiayangzhou, but had to give up this huge piece of fat, Duoduo felt distressed when he thought about it.
Since entering the customs, even including the previous many times into the fortress, the city is rich this time, and the city of Beijing is in political considerations, and it is impossible to loot, but Yangzhou is different, Yangzhou against the Qing soldiers, he has an excuse to deter, even if the court knows, it will not punish him, and it is his brother Dolgon who is in power in the court, who dares to punish him.
Soon, Liu Liangzuo and these people came to Zhenhuai Gate in a hurry to join Duoduo.
However, the soldiers of the Eight Banners from all walks of life did not come back, and the news of the report also made him suspicious, and the gatekeepers said that they saw that there were many Ming soldiers killing each other on the road, and they ignored the people who came directly from the city wall.
Duoduo couldn't help but be frightened, and secretly guessed in his heart that the scale of the rebellion was far beyond his imagination, and it had spread throughout the city.
Not only did the other party want to kill him directly, but it was launched in many places at the same time, and the Eight Banners who obviously did not come back were also attacked, or blocked, so they couldn't come back.
Such a big rebellion is no longer something that a general or deputy general can launch, with Duoduo's idea, it takes at least 10,000 people to do this, but if you can have 10,000 combatable soldiers, except for Liu Liangzuo, you really can't find anyone else, Zhang Tianfu and Zhang Tianlu brothers only have more than 20,000 soldiers in total, Duoduo has seen it, they are all some rabble.
"Liu Liangzuo! Tell the king, what the hell is going on? ”
So as soon as Liu Liangzuo arrived, Duoduo immediately asked him.
Liu Liangzuo had a stirring in his heart, he already knew that there seemed to be a rebellion in the city, but it was not he who did it, he had always suspected that it was the Zhang Tianfu brothers who did it, but he didn't expect Duoduo to ask him first.
Liu Liangzuo hurriedly said: "Lord Mingjian, the last general really doesn't know." ”
Duoduo just had a momentary suspicion that Liu Liangzuo could honestly accept his call to come here, which already showed that he was not the mastermind, unless he was a lonely and heroic man, and he was surprisingly bold, but Duoduo didn't think that Liu Liangzuo was such a person.
"The king knows that you do not know. And this king knows that thou art faithful. Your wife and children have all been sent to Beijing, and your younger brother has also made great contributions to my Qing Dynasty. ”
Duoduo calmed down, and began to appease Liu Liangzuo, while not forgetting to warn him, your family and brother are all in Beijing, you kid had better not have two hearts.
Liu Liangzuo hurriedly expressed his loyalty.
Dordor continued, "The king wants to know, who of your men is the best at fighting?" ”
Liu Liangzuo immediately understood that Duoduo was suspecting that his subordinates were causing trouble.
Liu Liangzuo, like Gao Jie, fought with Li Zicheng, and was the two generals under Li Zicheng at that time, but Liu Liangzuo was captured by the Ming army and then surrendered, Gao Jie stole Li Zicheng's wife and surrendered, but I didn't expect that in the end, the two of them became one of the four towns of the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Liangzuo's old brothers, like Gao Jie's, have followed him since the rebellion, and the most core generals are all his own villagers and fellow clansmen without exception, so it is naturally impossible for Duoduo to use them for surgery.
And Liu Liangzuo believed that his subordinates would rebel at all: "The prince is a clear guide, the last general's generals are all relatives and friends of the last general, and they realize the reason for rebellion!" ”
Duoduo was also puzzled, daring to accept Liu Liangzuo's soldiers, naturally he had already figured out Liu Liangzuo's background, and many of Liu Liangzuo's troops were indeed children surnamed Liu, such as his younger brother Liu Liangchen.
Liu Liangzuo does not seem to be suspicious, so could it be the two brothers Zhang Tianfu and Zhang Tianlu?
The Zhang brothers were also in front of Duoduo at this time, and without waiting for Duoduo to ask them, Zhang Tianfu took the lead in speaking: "Lord Mingjian, maybe this is not a rebellion, but the Ming army?" ”
Duoduo sneered, the Ming army flew from the sky, each city gate itself sent the Eight Banners to guard it, although the eyes were red and looted, but the military discipline of the Eight Banners Duoduo was still trusted, even if the Ming army attacked the city gate, it would not be wiped out in an instant, and someone would definitely return alive, but now Duoduo has not received any news.
Now without waiting for himself to ask, Zhang Tianfu himself jumped out first to accuse the Ming army, this is not a ghost in his heart.
"General Zhang, I'm sorry for you to send someone to summon all the lieutenants under you!"
Seeing this, Zhang Tianfu and Zhang Tianlu knew that Duoduo had put his suspicions on him, and he didn't dare to say more, so he immediately asked his soldiers to give orders.
Duoduo looked at Liu Liangzuo again.
How could he trust people so easily, since these people said that they were not his own people, then let people call all their generals over, as a general, it is impossible for him to rob things in person, and he must hide in that mansion to enjoy himself.
If someone doesn't come then, then the reason will naturally be explained.
Liu Liangzuo didn't dare to object, and swore that his generals were all living nearby, and they would come with one move. (To be continued)
