Knowing that the Ningbo General Army was visiting, Shen Tingyang was stunned. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info What is he talking to about Ningbo General Soldier in the future? Moreover, as a civilian official, Shen Tingyang was extremely disgusted with military generals. In his opinion, the generals of the Ming Dynasty are all incorruptible and shameless people, Wu Sangui led thieves into the customs in the past, and Liu Zeqing was rampant and domineering.

And the imperial court is now relegating to these warlords, tolerating and nurturing traitors, and in the long run, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger.

When the more than 300 boats under his command were intercepted by Liu Zeqing, and tens of thousands of children from his hometown were forcibly left behind by Liu Zeqing, and the imperial court actually let Liu Zeqing's behavior go, which made Shen Tingyang disheartened and simply resigned and returned to his hometown.

Shen Tingyang subconsciously wanted to turn away the visit of the Ningbo General Army, but since they came to the door, it was a bit rude to not see them. Shen Tingyang thought for a while before asking the servants to introduce Ren Siqi into the mansion.

"The last general has seen Lord Shen!" Ren Siqi bowed to Shen Ting.

Shen Tingyang's expression was indifferent, and he did not return the salute, but just waved his hand to signal Ren Siqi to be exempt.

Seeing his arrogant appearance, Xiong Er, who was following behind Ren Siqi, was furious, and was about to step forward to scold, but Ren Siqi waved his hand to stop.

It is the tradition of the Ming Dynasty to be noble and martial, even if Ren Siqigui is the chief soldier, his status is not as high as that of the civil officials in the five ranks. But now it's a troubled time, there are soldiers who are the king of grass, this Shen Tingyang is so pedantic that he can't see the situation clearly, no wonder he will be eaten and wiped out by Liu Zeqing!

"We don't know each other, I don't know why General Ren came to the mansion?" Waiting for the family to serve tea, Shen Tingyang asked lightly.

"I have long admired the name of Lord Shen, and the last general will pass through Chongming and come to visit." Ren Siqi smiled and said flattering words.

However, Shen Tingyang just hummed, and his expression was faint and did not speak.

"I don't know what Lord Shen thinks of Dongping Bo Liu Zeqing General Liu?" Seeing that Shen Tingyang looked like he was ignoring the answer, Ren Siqi suddenly asked.

Seeing that Ren Siqi suddenly mentioned Liu Zeqing, Shen Tingyang was furious, his two eyebrows were raised, and he glared at Ren Siqi angrily.

"Is the shaft here to laugh at the old man?"

"Lord Shen is angry," Ren Siqi smiled, "How dare the last general laugh at your lordship." It's just that the last general, by the order of the imperial court, went to Nanjing to fall below the attack of the Manchus. However, north of Nanjing, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in Liu Zeqing and other four towns, if they are willing to be loyal to the country, they will naturally not let the Manchus easily reach the Yangtze River, and then the general will be much easier. I heard that Lord Shen and Liu Zeqing have dealt with each other, so I came to visit, and I want to hear your opinion on the warlords of the four towns in Jiangbei. ”

After listening to Ren Siqi's explanation, the anger on Shen Tingyang's face disappeared.

"Liu Zeqing, a rat, is arrogant and domineering internally, and timid as a mouse externally. In the face of repeated defeats in the face of thieves, he has never heard of a victory. At the end of Chongzhen, the thieves attacked the Beijing division, and the first emperor summoned Liu Zeqing to lead the troops to the king, Liu Zeqing was afraid of the enemy like a mouse, and he did not move.

The Shun army advanced into Shandong, and Liu Zeqing, as the general soldier of Shandong, abandoned Shandong and fled to Huai'an without fighting.

If the Qing soldiers go south, Liu Zeqing will definitely not dare to resist, and most of them will betray the country and join the enemy! ”

After thinking about it carefully, Shen Tingyang said categorically.

After listening to Shen Tingyang's analysis, Ren Siqi nodded secretly. The development of things is just as Shen Tingyang said, when the Qing soldiers went south, except for Huang Degong, the other three towns of the four towns in Jiangbei did not fight a single battle, and directly surrendered to the Manchus.

For example, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo and others, who received the grace of the Ming Dynasty, commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, and were in the position of a marquis, and they even committed treason and defected to the enemy without firing a shot. Such characters are really scum and scum in the world!

"As Lord Shen said, the four towns in Jiangbei are not enough to refuse, and they can't resist the Qing soldiers at all. So the court is in danger! Ren Siqi sighed.

Shen Tingyang's face also showed a pale.

"At this time of social turmoil, you should come out to serve the imperial court, how can you live in peace in the city?" Ren Siqi said.

Listening to Ren Siqi's admonition, Shen Tingyang couldn't help but laugh dumbly, the yellow-mouthed son actually taught the old man a lesson!

"If Liu Zeqing descends to the Qing Dynasty, it will greatly increase the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Originally, the Manchurians were located in the north and were not accustomed to water.

But Liu Zeqing's department has tens of thousands of sailors and hundreds of ships that you recruited before. In this way, the Yangtze River will not only belong to the imperial court, and the Qing soldiers can completely rely on the surrender of troops to cross the Yangtze River and attack Nanjing. ”

Listening to Ren Siqi's words, Shen Tingyang's cold sweat broke out from his forehead. After being captured by Liu Zeqing, he was just full of anger and never expected such serious consequences.

Yes, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not accustomed to water warfare, so it was impossible to compete with the Ming army on the Yangtze River, relying on the natural danger of the Yangtze River, so that the imperial court could be as partial to the south of the Yangtze River as the former Song Dynasty.

However, if Liu Zeqing and other troops surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, their subordinates had a large number of naval troops and a large number of ships, and the Qing soldiers could completely rely on the surrender of troops to cross the Yangtze River. So much at stake!

But the sailors of Liu Zeqing's department were recruited by himself before, and the ships of Liu Zeqing's department were also warships that he had transformed from Cao boats before. Wouldn't he have become a sinner of the Ming Dynasty!

"General Ren, you have hundreds of warships under you, and you will definitely be able to block the Qing soldiers on the Yangtze River!"

Shen Tingyang let go of the prejudice in his heart, grabbed Ren Siqi's hand, and looked at Ren Siqi's eyes eagerly!

"I have few soldiers under my command, and I am afraid it will be difficult to take on this important task." Ren Siqi sighed and said, he is only a small force in Daishan, with no more than 20,000 men and no more than 300 ships, how can he resist the fierce Manchu soldiers!

"But as a general of the imperial court, although the enemy army is strong, Siqi will also fight hard and die for the imperial court!" Ren Siqi said impassionedly.

"The general is really loyal and courageous!" Shen Tingyang exclaimed.

"Since Liu Zeqing's navy is Lord Shen's subordinates, can you follow Siqi to the battlefield together, if you fight with Liu Thief in the future, your lord will raise his arms and shout, and there will definitely be former subordinates who abandon the darkness and turn to the light."

Ren Siqi said, this is the purpose of his visit to Shen Tingyang.

Most of the soldiers recruited by Shen Tingyang before were ordinary people in Chongming and nearby areas, and Shen Tingyang's prestige in their hearts was very high. If one day he confronts them, Shen Tingyang raised his arms and shouted, maybe there will really be many people who will return to Shen Tingyang's command.

"Good! I'll go with the general! Listening to Ren Siqi's words, Shen Tingyang said resolutely.

In another time and space, after the Nanjing court was destroyed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Shen Tingyang raised troops in his hometown Chongming to resist the Qing Dynasty, fled to Zhoushan after the defeat, and was appointed by the King of Lu as the squire of the military department and the governor of Zhejiang Navy, and was later defeated and captured and killed by the Qing soldiers.

Now that Ren Siqi was invited, Shen Tingyang packed up and resolutely followed Ren Siqi on the warship.

Shen Tingyang has been in charge of Cao Yun for several years, and he is extremely familiar with inland waterway boating, and his participation is of great significance to the Daishan Army. (To be continued.) )
