Since ancient times, those who have chosen to be traitors are all greedy people who are greedy for life and afraid of death with speculative psychology, and Hu Gongming, a pseudo-Qing secretary scholar, is also this kind of person.

After entering the prison of the Zhenfu Division, before Jinyiwei was sentenced, he told what he knew, but Dolgon's mind was quite delicate, and he did not tell him the specific purpose of the discussion, only told him that he could talk slowly and buy time for the Qing Dynasty to raise money and food.

Such a result was actually expected by Li Xingzhi, Dolgon wanted to use the peace talks to gain time, and Li Xingzhi also used this appeasement to deter the vassals, as well as the puppet Ming small court in the southern capital.

Just as Li Xingzhi expected, after more than a month of redistribution of interests, the regime of King Gui in the southern capital sent an envoy composed of Zuo Maodi, the imperial historian of Zuo Maodi, the commander of the five coastal towns, Chen Hongfan, and Ma Shaoyu, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, to Liaodong, in order to connect the eastern captives and carry out the matter of attacking the north and the south.

The clinker envoy had just gone to sea for more than ten days, and news came from Jingshi that the Donglin Group relied on Mount Tai to rely on Dongyu, and actually sent an envoy to Beijing to ask Li Cheng to surrender, in addition to the Yan King Li Xingzhi's appeasement conditions for the Ming Dynasty clans and nobles who participated in the support of King Gui.

"Gu Su knew that the fate of the Gui domain was bewitched by the traitorous ministers, so the car was transferred to the southern capital, and the matter of supervising the country was by no means the original intention, the southern capital of the lord enjoyed the country for three hundred years, and shared weal and woe with my emperor Ming, although he was coerced and conspired against the traitorous ministers, but today the soldiers gathered with Jiangyou and Huaiyang, but Lone Order, Jiangzuo is powdered! Lonely could not bear the pain of Li Shu's chaotic departure, so he did not send it out, and hoped that the Gui Domain, the lords and the civil and military generals who were coerced by him repented and went to the false name as soon as possible. ”

"Your Majesty is merciful and benevolent, and you care about the flesh and blood of the heavenly family, and you are specially invited from Lonely, all the vassal kings, nobles, and ministers who follow the emperor's order only need to hand over half of the property of the imperial court, so that they can avoid the crime of rebellion, and they can also keep the lord, Wang'er and so on must not make mistakes, otherwise the heavenly soldiers will be burned! Don't be preempt......ive! ”

The Southern Capital Prison is here, and Gao Hongtu, a scholar of Dongge University, recited the Fu Fu Wen from the Jingshi with a pale face, and in his heart he greeted Li Xingzhi's ancestors for eighteen generations, you are so fucking ruthless, you will ask for half of our family wealth when you open your mouth, isn't this asking for our old lives?

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that Dongyu has asked Jingshi to surrender, what should we do? If the envoy to Liaodong was sent to Beijing by the Eastern Captives, what would it be? ”

Zhu Changying is really scared, the legendary invincible Manchurian uncle has surrendered, and now there are more than 100,000 troops in the Beijing division pressing the border, can the military horses of the southern capital stop them? If you can't beat it, what can you do? Moreover, if the matter of Nandu's contact with Dongyu is revealed, won't he become a sinner for the ages? Didn't you see the kneeling statue of Qin Hui and his wife fighting back by the West Lake, making the world spurn?

"Your Royal Highness and relax, the so-called northerners riding horses, southerners boating, the water network on the left side of my river is dense, our army's water division is across the river, although Li Shun's soldiers and horses are numerous, can not cross also, the most important place on the left side of the river is Jiujiang, Anqing, since Li Shun's army was stationed in Wuchang, the minister has transferred Liu Zhen's troops out of the town of Jiujiang, and sent the Yangtze River Boat Division 100 ships to help the war, I think it will be able to block the rebel army, as for Anqing, it is the gateway to the southern capital, the minister thinks that the imperial court should send the minister of the pillar country, and the troops are stationed, so it can be planned."

Since taking power and entering the cabinet, Ma Shiying has combed through the roster of soldiers in the various guards of Nanzhili in the past two months, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that there were 230,000 soldiers and horses belonging to Wei Guogong.

Although he knew that in order to collect money, the military leaders in various places would falsely report the courage of the soldiers, fake account books, and defraud the imperial court military salary, but in Ma Shiying's opinion, there should always be a limit to false reports, not 230,000, there should always be 100,000, there should be 100,000 troops, leave 50,000 to cooperate with the Zheng family's naval division to control the defense of the river, transfer 50,000 to garrison Anqing, occupy the danger, and supplemented by the absolute superiority of the naval division, the rebel army will not be able to fight the defense line for a while and a half.

"Oh, Elder Ma Ge, do you think which Minister of the Pillar Country can take on this important task."

Listening to Ma Shiying's words, Zhu Changying's heart was slightly relieved, and he who had enjoyed the congratulations of hundreds of officials, he was still reluctant to lose this feeling of sitting in the north and facing the south, and blessing the world.

Ma Shiying paused slightly: "The minister thinks that the cabinet auxiliary ministers, the military department Shangshu Shi Kefa can take on this important task, Shi Gong in the early years in Anhui, Henan governor has repeatedly suppressed thieves, defeated Gao Yingxiang Nan's army, and now the rebel army is about to invade the south, there is Shi Gong's general planning place, which will definitely make the rebel army dare not underestimate my Jiangnan." ”

"Okay, pass on the lonely word, add Shi Kefa to build the Jidian University Scholar, the Ministry of War, Shangzhuguo, the prince and the prince, the governor of Jiangxi, Nanzhili, Anhui military horses, stationed in Anqing."

"Xu Aiqing, you still need to transfer 100,000 soldiers and horses from the south of the Yangtze River to go out with Shi Ge Lao, as for the money and food used in front, Ma Aiqing will be coordinated by you, Wangqing and others, work together to break the rebel army and protect the ancestral tomb of our emperor Ming."

When Zhu Changying was in Hengyang, he also heard that Shi Kefa defeated Gao Yingxiang, Ma Huihui and other peasant rebels in Chuzhou and Luzhou.

"Minister... Shi Kefa thanked His Royal Highness the Prison State, and when he went to Anqing, he would definitely repel the rebel army. ”

Shi Kefa was stunned for a moment, he knew that Ma Shiying recommended himself in order to transfer himself, the leader of Donglin, out of the Southern Capital, but now that His Royal Highness has made a clear decree, if he shirks it, it will be a disobedience to the decree.

"Your Highness, the rebel army will go east at any time, and the garrison of Nanzhili will be scattered in other places, where can 100,000 soldiers and horses be dispatched for a while and a half."

Xu Yunjue was stunned, the reason why he agreed to surrender Li Xingzhi was because he knew that there were no soldiers available in the southern capital, and after Gao Jie's troops were stationed in Yangzhou, he also wanted Liu Kongzhao to cross the river through the Yangtze River Naval Division to receive the Jingbei army in Jiangbei, who knew that before he could act, this dog prison country actually asked us to transfer troops and horses, the conscience of heaven and earth, we really can't change the army, Jiangnan is different from Jiangbei, there are so many displaced people who can be requisitioned.

"How many soldiers can Aiqing send?"

Zhu Changying was not annoyed, he also knew that the Daming Guard was abolished, and there were 60,000 garrison troops and horses in Nandu, 120,000 soldiers and horses in the eight local towns, and 50,000 soldiers and horses in Zhejiang and Susong, and the real number would probably shrink by half, so it should not be a problem to make up 50,000 to Shi Kefa.

"Minister...... The minister can probably draw two ...... Not 30,000 military horses, can not be more, the rebel army is in the north of the river, once the Yangzhou military horses are offended, the south capital still needs soldiers and horses to garrison. ”

Xu Yunjue pondered for a long time, thinking that all the military households that farmed in the various guards in Nanzhili should be able to transfer 20,000 or 30,000 people, 60,000 in the Beijing camp, and it is estimated that there are still 10,000 or 20,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, and it should not be difficult to get together 30,000 people.
