Ma Jixiang shaved his hair and changed his clothes, and the people around him also changed into Manchurian clothes together, only a small number of people were still wearing Ming Dynasty clothes, such as Mu Tianbo, etc., it seems that their group of people is nondescript.

Ma Jixiang read out the edict of Yongli, which said that the mandate of heaven has been returned, and it is not appropriate to resist anymore, and it should be to surrender to the Qing army, so that the world can rest and gain peace.

Zhang Biwu snatched the edict and tore it to shreds! Ma Jixiang couldn't help but point at Zhang Biwu and asked: "Zhang Biwu!" What are you doing here? ”

Zhang Biwu glared at Ma Jixiang and said, "You traitor! You're mistaken for the country! If it weren't for you, the emperor wouldn't have been captured by the Tartars! I know very well that the emperor is a man and is very ambitious! He would never have issued such an edict! This must be a fake! The emperor once said, swear to resist the Qing Dynasty! Never clear! These words have been ringing in my ears all the time! ”

Ma Jixiang knew that he couldn't persuade Zhang Biwu, so he said: "This, this person will always change, Zhang, Zhang Biwu, you ......"

Zhang Biwu had already drawn his sword and said, "Ma Jixiang, I originally wanted to kill you!" But if I kill you, the emperor's situation will be difficult! You go back and tell Dolgon, and quickly release the emperor back for me!" ”

Ma Jixiang and everyone shook their heads, they knew that they couldn't convince Zhang Biwu when they came, but Dolgon ordered to come, and they had to come hard. Now that he heard Zhang Biwu's words, at least their heads were saved, which was worth being happy about.

Ma Jixiang had to bite the bullet and say: "King Qi, it's better not to raise troops, otherwise the emperor's life will be difficult to protect!" You must be truly loyal. Don't kill the emperor! ”

Zhang Biwu listened. He chewed his lips. He said, "All right! For the sake of the emperor, I will not serve for the time being! It's just that restoring the Ming Dynasty is my duty! ”

Zhang Biwu then looked at the group of people and said, "There is only one enemy in my mind - Dolgon!" As for what Emperor Shunzhi, it's not bullshit! What if he appears in front of me? Let's tell Shunzhi to go back and eat Da Yu'er's milk! If it weren't for Dolgon, he wouldn't be anything! ”

When Zhang Biwu said this, it was clear that he wanted to provoke the relationship between Dolgon and Shunzhi to deteriorate further! Among them, the word will reach the ears of Shunzhi.

Huang Qi and Wu Xun pulled out their weapons to drive Ma Jixiang and the others away, but Zhang Biwu still asked people to secretly give some things to Mu Tianbo, an official dressed in Ming Dynasty costumes, to bring good food and clothes to Yongli. And all the good things were given in one go.

Mu Tianbo and these people are full of promises, and they will give these delicious clothes to Yongli, and take good care of Yongli, so that Emperor Yongli will not be hurt in the slightest.

Zhang Biwu just listened, nodded with satisfaction, Zhang Biwu held Mu Tianbo's hand again, and said, "Qianguo Gong, you can rest assured!" Guoxiong will definitely find a way to save the emperor and Guogong from the sea of suffering as soon as possible! ”

Mu Tianbo had tears in his eyes and said, "General Guoxiong, please be fast!" We are in the midst of the tartars, and we are like years! ”

Zhang Biwu nodded in understanding. He also ordered people to give the money to Mu Tianbo. Mu Tianbo took this money, and he also had difficulties. Because I don't know if the money will be robbed by the Tartars. He wants to hide it in his boots and in his clothes, and hide it separately.

When Zhang Biwu saw Mu Tianbo's appearance, he was helpless, he was controlled by others, and let others slaughter him.

Zhang Biwu watched them leave, and he turned around. At this time, Huang Qi stepped forward and said, "Lord, I think it's a pity not to kill them!" It seems that such villains will let them go, I am unwilling! And we're going to have to hold our ground......"

Zhang Biwu shook his head helplessly and said, "Zhengli, this is no way!" If I kill these people, Emperor Yongli will be in danger! Dolgon can say this, look! How could Zhang Biwu be loyal to the Ming family? Didn't Dorgon hype up how to treat the Yongli Emperor before? The propaganda of preferential treatment of Emperor Yongli was to persuade him to surrender for convenience, and of course, Dolgon also knew that his persuasion would not be effective, and he would do it! The second is also to make us ignore the eternal calendar and ruin our reputation! We can only stand still for the time being! ”

When Huang Qi heard this, he had no choice but to sigh and agree, since Yongli was captured, every party has been subject to others.

Zhang Biwu thought of a point, now Yunnan has lost most of it, although half of Yunnan and the whole province of Guizhou are still under the control of Li Dingguo, but Li Dingguo is separated, and his power is difficult to develop, because in his own hands Emperor Yongli was captured, Li Dingguo's confidence has been greatly hit, which is not conducive to his independent development.

It is better to persuade Li Dingguo to come to Huguang or Henan to join Zhang Biwu, so that Zhang Biwu's power will be even stronger. If you want to take advantage of it now, the Qing army is in a state mourning, and there are internal rumors that Dolgon's illness can leave if he can, if it drags on any longer, it will be difficult for Li Dingguo to leave if he wants to.

Zhang Biwu really sent people to Li Dingguo one letter after another, in order to persuade Li Dingguo to come as soon as possible and meet Zhang Biwu.

Fortunately, in the Huguang area, Zhang Biwu's potential and Dashun's potential can still be reached, if it drags on any longer, once the Qing army forms an encirclement, it will be difficult to keep Li Dingguo's retreat.

Among them, Li Guo also sent a letter to Li Dingguo, hoping that Li Dingguo would adopt Zhang Biwu's opinions and that everyone would form a line to resist the Qing Dynasty together.

Li Dingguo held a meeting, he showed Zhang Biwu's letter to everyone, and everyone was discussing it! Everyone knows that the anti-Qing situation in the south has now fallen silent.

If they are in the south, they will be as isolated as Zheng Chenggong and Shi Kefa, and it will be difficult to have great development, and the best way now is to go to the north to join Zhang Biwu. In Zhang Biwu, there is still a supply of military salaries and grain and grass.

After discussion, it was unanimously decided that Zhang Biwu should be relied on in the north. But to maintain the independence of the Great Western Army. If everyone unites, they will be more sure that they can save Emperor Yongli.

In this case, they said they would go and advance towards Zhang Biwu's territory. Zhang Biwu's original intention was to let Li Dingguo and others in the Huguang area. In this way, the four provinces of Huguang, Shaanxi, Henan, and Shanxi have become one. Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended.

And the combined forces are strong, and the Qing army does not dare to despise them, and they can't do it easily!

The Manchu Qing knew this, of course, they were trying to find a way to stop it, but unfortunately, the Qing army could not gather so many men and horses in a short period of time to stop Li Dingguo from moving closer to Zhang Biwu.

In addition, the Great Western Army has been following Zhang Xianzhong to conquer the east and the west for many years. Those who travel from the south to the north, even the families of the soldiers, their ability to act is very fast and strong. The habits they have cultivated over the years have made them migrate very quickly and have not fallen behind.

Zhang Biwu has been waiting for them for a long time, and he wants to meet them cordially!

Li Dingguo looked at Zhang Biwu, and Zhang Biwu also stepped forward and clasped Li Dingguo's hands tightly, and said, "King Jin, if I can join you as a teacher." I'm even more confident that I can save the emperor! ”

Li Dingguo coughed a few more times and said, "I'm ashamed! If it weren't for me. It will not humiliate the emperor! is the so-called king humiliates the death of his ministers, but now he can't die of the king's humiliation! Shame! ”

Zhang Biwu shook his head vigorously and said, "General Ning Yu, please don't talk like this!" Now is the time for us to work together to solve this crisis! None of us can lose faith! We're going to join forces! ”

Li Dingguo smiled, he saw that Li Guo and Gao Guiying were here, and Zhang Biwu informed them to come to greet Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo looked at Li Guo and Gao Guiying, and said, "General Buzhi and Mrs. Chuang Wang are also here!" Li Guo stepped forward and said, "King Jin, you killed Kong Youde and Nikan in two battles, and you fought really wonderfully!" I admire it very much! ”

Li Dingguo smiled bitterly and said, "What's the use? It's all a picture! Alas! Your Majesty, "...... can see that Li Dingguo was captured by Wu Sangui's attack on Yongli under his nose, and the blow to him was too great!"

Li Dingguo said: "The Tartars are now threatening the emperor and asking us to surrender, but I didn't surrender!" I think all of you generals have been falsely told by the envoys sent by the Tartars to make you surrender by the emperor's decree, right? ”

Zhang Biwu and Li Guo both nodded, they really accepted it, even so, they would not surrender.

In fact, everyone knows that even if the Manchu Qing captured Yongli, they could not let Li Guo, Li Dingguo, and Zhang Biwu surrender, but they still had to do it in this way to show the mercy of the Manchus, and also made Zhang Biwu and Li Dingguo have to throw a mouse trap, and if they want to be loyal ministers, they can let the Manchus take a breath for a while.

Lu Xiangsheng sighed here and said: "Originally, we still wanted to march into the northwest to expand the horse farm and enhance our strength, but because the emperor is in the hands of the enemy and a new envoy is here, even if we know that it is a false edict, we can't immediately send troops!" As a courtier, it will take some time to confirm! ”

Li Dingguo looked at Zhang Biwu: "Marching into the northwest? Zhang Biwu nodded and responded: "Yes!" I think King Jin thinks I should advance to Shandong or Beijing, right? However, the Qing army in these places was strong and difficult to uproot. Only in the northwest, the rule of the Qing army is unstable, and this place has always been a horse farm, if we break through here, we will have a big horse farm! You will be able to breed more cavalry for us, so that you will not be afraid of the Tartar cavalry! ”

Li Dingguo nodded one after another, he recognized Zhang Biwu's decision, it was difficult to make progress in the east, and once it was too urgent, perhaps Emperor Yongli would have a misfortune.

It was indeed easy to attack the northwest, because the road had been broken, and it was difficult for the Manchus to take care of the northwest, and the loss of the northwest was expected, and the impact on the Qing court was not very great.

Zhang Biwu even said: "What we are thinking about now is that after breaking the northwest, I will have to tear my face with General Buzhi and others!" Ha Lu Ha! ”

"Ahh Li Dingguo couldn't help but be stunned, why would he tear his face with Li Guo as soon as he broke through the northwest? Solidarity is the last word now! How can you fall in love with each other?

Li Guo said: "Yes! If King Qi and I don't tear our faces, how can we let the Manchus act according to King Qi's strategy! The Manchu Qing Dynasty is in turmoil, we have a chance, if we don't mess up, it will be difficult for us to make a big move! The dispute between me and King Qi is for the sake of great progress in the future! ”

Li Guo said that Li Dingguo didn't understand, so Zhang Biwu said to Li Guo: "General Buzhi, you are going to fight with King Jin again!" Let's be honest with him! ”

Li Guo said the truth: "Here's the thing! The king of Qi knew that the regent of the Dao Tartar and the puppet emperor Shunzhi had a bad relationship, and if they were provoked to deteriorate, it would be better to fight each other! Of course, there is also the so-called auxiliary king Zilharang, and the three sides fight each other, and the Manchus will be consumed in internal fighting, which is extremely beneficial to us? ”

After Li Dingguo heard it, he nodded one after another and said, "Yes!" This is a plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle! Good! The general of Buzhi and the king of Qi are going to fight and fight! Otherwise, how could the Manchus be at ease? ”

The three of them laughed at the same time, and Li Dingguo's gloom was swept away. They sat down hand in hand, and they talked happily!

Zhang Biwu had to spy on the situation in Beijing on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also sent an envoy to the Manchu Qing Dynasty to strongly demand the return of Yongli, he knew that this request was just a fart, but he still had to make a good appearance.

After knowing that the Tao was useless, Zhang Biwu sent another envoy, this time it was different, Zhang Biwu wanted to say that if he didn't send Emperor Yongli back, he would immediately send troops to Beijing to rescue Yongli.

Zhang Biwu didn't just talk about it, he actually started to fight hard, and he was actively preparing for war, and he wanted to raise a soldier for the country! Li Guo is the same, and he has to respond with Zhang Biwu.

As soon as Shunzhi saw this situation, he hurriedly issued an order to let all parties be on strict guard and build defensive measures. Compared with Dolgon, he was shaking his head, because Dolgon felt that Zhang Biwu would not go east, but would only march to the northwest.

Dolgon thought about how to provoke the relationship between Zhang Biwu and Li Guo and make them worse, and he heard that Li Guo had accused Zhang Biwu of being responsible for Yongli's capture, so it would be better to take advantage of it.

Dolgon also knew a little bit about it, He Tengjiao, Qu Shiyun and others wanted to save Emperor Yongli back, Zhang Biwu did not move, Li Guo naturally did not move, and although Li Dingguo had a heart, now that he has arrived in Huguang and other places, it is equivalent to being subject to Zhang Biwu, and he is mainly subject to Zhang Biwu to obey him. Zhang Biwu is equivalent to an increase in strength.

If they provoke He Tengjiao, Qu Shiyun and others to save Yongli's mind, it will affect Li Guo and Li Dingguo, and their hearts are not aligned with Zhang Biwu's hearts. Like, they can't twist into a rope! (To be continued......)
