Wu Sangui lifted the waist knife and asked, "But the thief is coming?" ”

The soldier said: "It was not the thief who called, but the son of the world who was taken away and tied to the top of the urn city." ”

"Where did the rebels come from, so bold!" Wu Sangui said angrily, and he immediately ordered: "Gather people, follow Ben Bo to Wengcheng, Lao Tzu will break the body of that bold guy into ten thousand pieces." ”

Immediately, hundreds of people were gathered, Wu Sangui rode straight to the urn city, Li Zhaoji followed behind, and saw a young man trapped on the flagpole on the top of the urn city from a distance, and when he saw Wu Sangui coming, he shouted: "Father, save the child, save the child." ”

"Ying Xiong, don't cry, daddy is here, they don't dare to do anything to you!" Wu Sangui shouted loudly, he pulled out his bow and arrow, bent the bow and set up the arrow, that is, he shot an arrow, three inches on Wu Yingxiong's head, with a crisp sound, the arrow was inserted into the flagpole, and the tail feathers buzzed continuously.

"Where did the thief come from, I know that this is my son Wu Sangui, Shanhaiguan is all in my hands, you can't escape." Wu Sangui shouted: "Don't show up quickly, go down to the city and surrender." ”

"We are not thieves, we are from the Oriental Trading Company, and we want to meet the big treasurer Li Zhaoji." Tang Mu's voice came from the top of the urn city.

Li Zhaoji was stunned at first, thinking that he was hallucinating, but when he looked up, he saw Tang Mu's face, and Li Zhaoji shouted: "Ping Xibo, that's my person." ”

"Why do your men bind my son?" Wu Sangui's heart was like a knife at this time, and he asked scoldingly.

Tang Mu on the urn city shouted: "Ping Xibo, we came to ask to see, but it was your personal soldiers and servants who blocked it, and the brothers took out all the money on their bodies as money, but they didn't let them in, and they didn't even want to pass it on." We can only make this decision and tie up your son-in-law, which is also a last resort. ”

Li Zhaoji said: "Ping Xibo, this is the person I sent to the south to carry out a secret errand, and the news he brought is directly related to our future and destiny. Don't wait twenty days, let him come down, and everything will be understood. ”

When Wu Sangui heard this, he still hated: "It doesn't matter who he is, if he dares to tie up my son, he will die today." ”

"Death is death, who is afraid of you, don't talk about your son, it is the emperor's son, as long as the big shopkeeper gives an order, we dare to tie it up!" Tang Mu had already come down from the stairs, reached the ground, and put Wu Yingxiong on the ground, and Wu Yingxiong, who had already peed his pants, was pulled over by Xia Guoxiang.

"You don't want to talk nonsense! Tang Mu, is the errand I gave you finished? Li Zhaoji was anxious to know the news, and he wanted to save his life.

Tang Mu nodded: "Fortunately, I am not dishonored, I have all of them in hand." ”

When Li Zhaoji heard this, he laughed, he ran to Wu Sangui, first punched him in the chest, and then hugged him fiercely, and shouted excitedly: "Ping Xibo, you and I are all half of the glory and wealth today, you just wait for the Huang Tengda."

What Li Chuang, Manchu Qing, let them all get out, among the three eggs, it is still Daming, which is the most fragrant! ”

Wu Sangui was a little confused by Li Zhaoji's appearance, all along, Li Zhaoji has always been mysterious and embarrassed, or debauched, who would have thought that he would be so excited and inexplicable, as if it was not Li Zicheng who entered the capital, but him.

"What do you mean?" Wu Sangui said.

Li Zhaoji said: "Ping Xibo, there are many people here, it's not a place to talk, you give me half an hour, let's discuss it secretly, not only will you not kill Tang Mu, but you will reward him heavily." After listening to my words, you will not start a war with Li Chuang, let alone send Xia Guoxiang to Dongyu to ask for troops. ”

"You're so sure." Wu Sangui was a little unconvinced.

Li Zhaoji pointed to his head: "This head is here, if you can't do it, you can cut it off." ”

Wu Sangui nodded: "Okay, go back to the yamen and talk in the study." ”

A quarter of an hour later, at the door of the study, Tang Mu and his entourage, the two personal soldiers and four servants of Wu Sangui's family were all tied up, and they stood outside the door, and Wu Sangui had already figured out the reason.

As Tang Mu said, yesterday morning, Tang Mu's ship arrived at Juehua Island, he came to Shanhaiguan non-stop to ask for a meeting, stayed awake all night, galloped to arrive, to the house to meet, but encountered Wu Sangui's family and servants troubled.

Tang Mu immediately took out all the money on himself and his entourage as money, but the other party still refused to give up, and in desperation, Tang Mu decided to make a big move, and he had to see Li Zhaoji.

So there was a matter of being a robber and kidnapping Wu Yingxiong.

"You are all waiting here, today, someone will die, either you or you!" Wu Sangui said coldly to everyone.

Tang Mu raised his head and said: "Death is death, I have done my duty, and I have no regrets when I die." ”

Tang Mu was extremely tough, but the Wu family knelt on the ground one by one and begged for mercy, and Wu Sangui felt that these people had lost their own people, and he wanted to cut them on the spot.

Xia Guoxiang accompanied Wu Sangui into the study, and after entering the door, Wu Sangui was not polite and said, "Mr. Li, let's say, what did Tang Mu do?" ”

"After my fleet arrived at Juehua Island, I heard that the situation in the capital was dangerous and that there was a tendency for the sky to collapse, so I sent Tang Mu to Huai'an and kidnapped a few people back." Lee Siu Kee said.

Wu Sangui smiled coldly: "It's like his style, he likes to kidnap." He is so bold that he dares to tie up my son. Tell me who you asked him to tie up. ”

Li Zhaoji smiled: "Tang Mu's courage is indeed big, but tying up your son can't prove it, because compared to the few people he tied up in Huai'an, the son of an earl is nothing." ”

"The tone is very big, who else is better than my son?" Wu Sangui asked.

Li Zhaoji said: "He went to Huai'an and tied up three people, King Fu, King Lu, and King Chong of the Ming Dynasty. ”

With a snap, the teacup in Wu Sangui's hand fell directly to the ground, and Xia Guoxiang stood up directly and scolded: "You are such a madman, even the nobles of Tianhuang dare to kidnap them, what are you kidnapping them for!" ”

Li Zhaoji said: "Tie it up and give it to Ping Xibo." ”

At that moment, the expression on Wu Sangui's face changed countless times, he was stunned for a moment, suddenly took off the waist knife hanging on the wall, strode out, and directly slashed the bound Wu family servants and personal soldiers on the spot, and shouted in his mouth: "You dog slaves, you almost ruined Benbo's great cause, damn it, you should be killed a thousand times, ten thousand times!" ”

The six people immediately fell in a pool of blood, Wu Sangui untied the rope on Tang Mu's body again, and said: "Tang Mu, you have made a great contribution, Mr. Yu Li has merit, and Ben Bo has merit, say, what reward do you want." ”

Tang Mu stretched out his hand: "Borrow the uncle's knife and use it." ”

Wu Sangui handed the waist knife to Tang Mu, and Tang Mu immediately made a move, cutting off the heads of the two people who had never died. Tang Mu said: "The villain likes to ride a horse when he is young, and the uncle will reward me with a few more horses." ”

"Well, Ben Bo will reward you with thirty good horses. Come on, take Tang Mu to the camp to pick a horse, whatever he picks! Wu Sangui shouted excitedly.

When he returned to the study, his face was already flushed with excitement, and he said: "Oh, Mr. Li, Mr. Li, you are really a blessed person, that Tang Mu, at a young age, is bold and careful, and has already done such a big thing."

Why don't I have such a subordinate, I really envy you. ”

When Li Zhaoji saw his reaction, he already knew that Wu Sangui was tempted, and said: "I envy Ping Xibo with 50,000 armor, 1,000 good generals, and the posture of Zhongxing the world, and the ability to support the community." ”

"Hahaha, borrow your auspicious words, come, come with me, the smell of blood here is too strong, let's go to the hall to talk." Wu Sangui affectionately took Li Zhaoji's hand and took him to the flower hall, and urged him to say: "Slaves, why don't you hurry up and serve tea, and get some snacks, I was disturbed by that Li Yousong, and I didn't even eat lunch, it's really annoying." ”

Li Zhaoji said: "Ping Xibo, it's not busy to inform the servants to serve, I think it is better to inform the guards who close the door, and don't have a conflict with Tang Tong for the time being." ”

Wu Sangui patted his head and said: "Damn, damn it, my brain, why do I always forget important things, thanks to Mr. for mentioning something, thank you sir." ”

Wu Sangui hurriedly ordered someone, and only then did he drink tea and laugh with Li Zhaoji in the flower hall, Xia Guoxiang followed behind his buttocks, he frowned, and still didn't come back to his senses. In normal times, Wu Sangui would definitely laugh at him for being stupid, but today, Wu Sangui's mood was extremely good, he said something in Xia Guoxiang's ear, and Xia Guoxiang understood.

That sentence is called: coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

Now Chongzhen is dead, but the Ming Dynasty has not perished, the Ming Dynasty still has half of the country, and it is inevitable to move south to establish a new country, but the Ming Dynasty needs an emperor. According to the tradition of the primogeniture inheritance system of the Ming Dynasty, after Chongzhen, the crown prince Zhu Youlang should be appointed as the emperor.

But Zhu Youlang was already the king of Song in the Dashun Dynasty, and the other two Chongzhen's sons also fell into the hands of Li Chuang.

Then to find an heir, it is necessary to find it in the lineage of the Divine Sect, and it is most appropriate to inherit the unification with King Fu. So when Wu Sangui heard that Li Zhaoji had kidnapped King Fu, he was completely crazy, King Fu was in hand, that is, the future Emperor Ming was in hand, Emperor Ming was in hand, and he Wu Sangui was the strongest army in the Ming Dynasty, so he had the ability to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

Wu Sangui also understood why Li Zhaoji had to wait for 20 days, and said that Daming was the best option.

Facts have proved that he is right, on Li Chuang's side, he can only mix a marquis, on the Manchu side, he may be able to mix a king, but he is also a vassal king, but at most he is in charge of hundreds of thousands of people in Liaoxi, but if he chooses the Ming Dynasty and supports King Fu to ascend the throne, then he is a hero from the dragon, and he is the benefactor of the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

More importantly, it means that half of the Ming Dynasty, and the richest and most stable half of the country, will all fall into his hands.

Li Chuang and the Manchu Qing Dynasty couldn't give Liaozhen the silver taels needed, but the Ming Dynasty could, the south of the Yangtze River was rich, and the south was coarse, and it was very simple to supply the tens of thousands of people in Liaozhen.

Li Zhaoji smiled and said: "Ping Xibo, I heard that some of these people are making noise in your ears, saying that the soldiers and horses on Juehua Island are gathering more and more, and Shen Youlong has made a move, and he also said that this is all my conspiracy, and now I look at it, is it still my conspiracy?" ”

Wu Sangui laughed: "Mr. Li, don't care about these people, they are all nonsense, where is this conspiracy, it is clear that your Mr. Li planned it for me in advance." ”

The capital of the princes to coerce the Son of Heaven lies in Liaozhen, but the great Ming scholars do not want a Cao Cao to appear in this dynasty, because they want to be Cao Cao themselves.

Everything depends on whose sword is hard, and how many soldiers and horses the scholar has?

There are still a lot of soldiers and horses in Jiangbei, no less than 200,000, but Li Zicheng sent a second-rate Dong Xueli to bring 3,000 soldiers to Xuzhou, and the 200,000 people who were scared did not dare to move.

Except for them, there is only the Yue army left, and now that the Yue army has been arranged by Li Zhaoji to Juehua Island, there is naturally no chance to get the moon first near the water.
