Zhou Yuan seemed to see through Ling Jingyang's heart, and said, "Dudu, are you thinking about Dashun and the imperial court?" ”

"Yes, as soon as our army leaves, didn't it trap Dashun and the imperial court?"

Zhou Yuan and Ling Jingyang shook their heads and said: "If the governor doesn't leave, won't there be a conflict between Dashun and the imperial court, they launched a conflict, but the governor was caught in the middle, the first local force to be destroyed." ”

Speaking of this, Ling Jingyang suddenly stared at him, this Zhou Yuan is different from others, he has a strong reverse thinking, others go to the left, he wants to go to the right.

Having such a subordinate who is more shrewd than the lord doesn't know if it's his honor or his embarrassment.

Zhou Yuan said again: "Governor, don't we have Wang Chengyun in our hands?" ”

"Well, Wang Chengyun can exchange this guy for silver, grain and grass, so he will be spared."

Ling Jingyang thought that Zhou Yuan said that he would not kill Wang Chengyun, but Zhou Yuan poured a basin of cold water on Ling Jingyang.

"If Xia Guan didn't guess wrong, this Wang Chengyun should be replaced by someone else in Xuanfu Town, and he is an abandoned wild dog at this time."

Ling Jingyang subconsciously said: "How come? ”

After finishing speaking, he regretted a little, Wang Chengyun defeated Datong Mansion, and let Jierharang be captured, Dolgon at this time, if he did not completely annex and digest Xuanfu Town, it was visionless.

Ling Jingyang asked Zhou Yuan: "Should Wang Chengyun be released, or killed?" ”

"Killing him is just one more scum head, but you can't let him go, even if Wang Chengyun is a bare-bones general soldier, at least there are subordinates, colleagues, and governors who used to use his name, maybe they can gather Wang Chengyun's subordinates who are not full of people."

"You can do this matter, but you are Wang Yingxiong's protégé, which really surprised me."

"Governor, how embarrassed am I to tell you, if the governor has the heart, the lower officials will leave for Sichuan on the same day to convey the governor's intention to go south to Sichuan to Wang Shilang."

"You can go, but I want to make sure, are you loyal to Da Ming or Wang Yingxiong?"

To Ling Jingyang's surprise, Zhou Yuan did not shy away from saying: "Dudu, I am only loyal to ambitious people. ”

Ling Jingyang was very satisfied with Zhou Yuan's answer, he asked Zhou Yuan to be in charge of Wang Chengyun, and when Wang Chengyun's family sent silver, grain and grass, he went to Sichuan to visit Wang Yingxiong.

In order to let Zhou Yuan successfully complete the task, Ling Jingyang also specially assigned him ten guards, Zhou Yuan and Ling Jingyang retired, and took the guards to the prisoner of war camp, and there was only Wang Chengyun in the entire prisoner of war camp.

In the battle just now, he angrily slashed more than 20 unarmed rebels, looking at the blood stains on the ground, Wang Chengyun was not a little afraid, as a soldier, he didn't know how many people he had killed, but it was such an empty prisoner of war camp, he was the only one, which made him a little uncomfortable.

Zhou Yuan came to the prisoner of war camp with the guards, and saw Wang Chengyun wandering around the prisoner of war camp bored in every way, Wang Chengyun also saw Zhou Yuan coming over with the guards, thinking that he was going to cut him down, so he hurriedly ran to the side, Zhou Yuan shouted: "General Wang, how many days is it today?" ”

Wang Chengyun suddenly remembered that there were only three days left before Ling Jingyang asked him to send silver, grain and grass, so he hurriedly trotted over and said to Zhou Yuan: "This lord, there are still a few days." ”

Zhou Yuanpi smiled and said to him: "Wang Chengyun, do you think Jiannu will take your soldiers and horses and occupy your family after your defeat?" ”

"It's impossible, I'm dedicated to the Qing Dynasty."

Before he finished saying this, Wang Chengyun felt that something was wrong, so he didn't continue, Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows with him and asked him to continue.

Wang Chengyun didn't speak, he didn't dare to confide in front of the Ming army that he did his best for the Qing army, Zhou Yuan looked at this three-surnamed slave, his eyes were full of disdain.

"Wang Chengyun, after ten days, your family did not send silver, grain and grass, do you know what it means?"

Wang Chengyun nodded, and Zhou Yuan snorted coldly, it doesn't mean that you want to die, but it means that you have become a dog in the Qing army, or an abandoned wild dog. ”

Zhou Yuan asked the guards to bring Wang Chengyun to live in the Governor's Mansion, and let him see how the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies of the Ming Dynasty operated.

After coming to the Governor's Mansion, Wang Chengyun was assigned to a book copying job, that is, with a metropolitan matter, the names of the fallen soldiers, as well as the names and places of origin of the family members in the book, and then each book had to be copied again to prevent the loss of the list of the dead, the family could not find the name of the fallen soldier, and the Governor's Mansion could not find the family of the fallen soldier.

Wang Chengyun did not receive a cold eye in the Governor's Mansion, the affairs of the Governor's Mansion here, as well as Wang Mu and other local officials are working hard, as if Wang Chengyun was born to be a member of the Governor's Mansion, and Wang Chengyun copied the book in the Governor's Mansion for seven days.

During these seven days, a large-scale mutiny occurred in Xuanfu Town, where he was stationed.

He had more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Xuanfu Town, and he took more than 10,000 people to support Datong Mansion, and these more than 10,000 people were almost wiped out, leaving only a few hundred people to withdraw to Xuanfu Town, and his own soldiers also returned to Xuanfu Town with his letters, and told Wang Chengyun's family about Wang Chengyun's capture.

After the Wang family got the news, they immediately went to raise money and grain, but the other generals in Xuanfu Town had crooked thoughts, and Hong Demao, the deputy general of Xuanfu Town, felt that this was a good opportunity, and he conspired with Ao Tu, the general of the Eight Banners stationed in Xuanfu Town, to destroy Wang Chengyun's family, eliminate Wang Chengyun's family's influence in Xuanfu Town, and make Xuanfu Town completely become the Xuanfu Town of the Qing Dynasty.

Ao Tu is a leader with a blue flag, he did not immediately agree with Hong Demao, but recommended Hong Demao to a higher-level Eight Banner general, and the Eight Banner generals reported Hong Demao's intention to eliminate the Wang family to the top, until Dolgon was here, Dolgon ordered Ao Tu to cooperate with Hong Demao.

After getting the regent's consent, Ao Tu immediately approached Hong Demao and expressed the regent's support for Hong Demao to do so.

Hong Demao immediately gathered his subordinates, and on the third night after Wang Chengyun's personal soldiers returned to the Wang family, he led the army to attack the Wang family's compound.

After Hong Demao launched an attack, Ao Tu led his troops to the barracks, summoned Wang Chengyun's henchmen to the school ground, and shot him with a bow and arrow.

After dawn the next day, the entire Xuanfu Town soldiers learned that Wang Chengyun's family and henchmen were killed, and Hong De pretended to be the new chief soldier of Xuanfu Town, and Ao Tu led the Eight Banners to continue Xuanfu Town to prevent the Xuanfu Town from rebelling.

Xuanfu Town was completely mastered by the Qing army, and Hong Demao also got his wish to become the chief soldier of Xuanfu Town, he actively offered advice to the Qing army, and asked to lead the army to reinforce Shandong, but was slapped by Aotu

Go.

"Yours, don't you dare to fight with the Dashun army?"

The beaten eyes were full of gold stars, Hong Demao endured the crumbling brain melon seeds and Ao Tu admitted his mistake, Ao Tu let Hong have to roll down, the Dashun army occupied the entire Datong Mansion, just west of Xuanfu Town, Hong Demao also had to lead the troops to Shandong, isn't this looking for a fight?

After the Dashun army captured Datong Mansion, Dolgon realized that the strategic space of the Qing army was greatly threatened, and he had to stabilize the defensive line, and he should also focus on the struggle of the imperial court as much as possible, and could not continue to consume the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion.

He asked the Ming court to subordinate his ministers to provoke the contradiction between the Hongguang court and the Longwu court, and asked people to go to the Dashun army and Li Zicheng to negotiate peace, but he only continued to attack the Chongzhen court, in his opinion, the Chongzhen court is the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, and there are two Ming courts in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is necessary to destroy the Chongzhen court.

However, because Zheng Chenggong and Li Huajing launched a campaign in Shandong, Dolgon did not have any spare troops to attack Shanxi for the time being, and he hesitated to transfer the Hauge army back.

Haoge continued to burn and plunder in Jiangnan, the entire Nanzhili, as well as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, were beaten to pieces, and Jiangxi was also looted by the Qing army in the next Jiangxi, the Qing army plundered amazing wealth in Jiangnan, and Haoge was unwilling to return to Beizhili.

Dolgon paced in the palace late at night, summoned Hong Chengchou, and asked him if he had a good plan to break the enemy, Hong Chengchou gave Dolgon a new suggestion, temporarily stop the attack, and it would not be long before a civil war broke out in the three Ming courts.

This coincided with Dolgon, he missed Zilharang very much at this time, after Zilharang was captured by the Dashun army, the Dashun army did not open his mouth, as if nothing had happened.

Dolgon asked the envoy to go to the Dashun army to negotiate peace, to see if he could redeem Jierharang with silver and grain and grass, and the Qing army envoys went to Datong Mansion to visit Li Zicheng here, but they were whipped by Liu Zongmin and cried his father and mother, and then were driven back.

Dolgon saw that the envoy was beaten miserably, so angry that he almost wanted to send troops to Datong Mansion, and it was impossible to destroy the Dashun army, Hong Chengchou advised him not to be impulsive, the south of the Dashun army is the Daxi army, and the Chongzhen court, these three will definitely fight.

This made Dolgon calm down, a Zilharang is gone, but it can make Dashun, Daxi, Chongzhen tripartite forces scuffle, it is very good, he and Hong Chengchou said: "Continue to let the envoy go to the Dashun army, and create the illusion that our army only fights the Chongzhen court." ”

This move is very insidious, Hongguang Imperial Court, Longwu Imperial Court can't wait for the Qing army to attack the Chongzhen Imperial Court, and is also happy to see the Chongzhen Imperial Court destroyed by the Qing army, in this way, these two imperial courts are the only remaining imperial courts, and the inheritance of the Ming Dynasty can only be one of the two imperial courts.

Dolgon's strategic direction is very correct, he ordered Hong Chengchou to go to Jiangnan Haoge Army, after Hong Chengchou came to Jiangnan, he ordered Haoge to collect his sword, Haoge was a little incomprehensible, he had stabilized the Jiangnan defense line and began to counterattack, defeating several rebel teams, why did he suddenly let him withdraw his knife?

He told Hong Chengchou that his army was invincible in Jiangnan and could wipe out King Lu's troops in eastern Zhejiang in one go, but Hong Chengchou repeatedly told him that the regent had a decree that all armies in Jiangnan should not harass the Ming army from now on, let alone provoke the Ming army to fight.

At the same time, Dolgon's envoy came to the Hongguang court, Hongguang Emperor was still in Congshan Pass, after Huang De led the righteous army to repel the Qing army, he ate well and dressed well on the mountain, but he was very afraid of the Qing army attacking again, he convened his ministers and discussed how to receive the Qing army envoy?
