Haicheng.

"Zhaoji, you should now gather the army and go south, draw it out, go to Jiangnan as soon as possible, and support King Fu to ascend the throne. Do you know how good the situation in Gangnam is now?

King Lu said that the emperor was unable to make a decision, and Shi Kefa and Qian Qianyi joined forces to deal with the Wu family father and son who wanted to seize power, as well as ......... In Shang Kexi's mansion, Zhao Wenji persuaded Li Zhaoji bitterly.

Li Zhaoji shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Zhao, let me say it again, you can also tell Lord Shen Yulong them word for word."

I, Li Zhaoji, am a Han Chinese, and I deal with the enemies of the nation. Da Ming and Da Shun are the same for me, there is no difference.

In the past, I never said this explicitly, because I had no choice at that time, but now it is different, between Da Ming and Da Shun, I will not make any choice. ”

What do you mean by that? Is it not true that the plan we have agreed to support the blessed king has not been counted? Zhao Wen and his eyebrows were about to be raised.

Lee said, "No, of course not. and it will soon become a reality.

But things always have to be prioritized, and now it's my ally Dashun who is more anxious about this.

It can be said that since my Eastern Brigade landed in Liaodong, the one who has provided me with the most help has been Dashun, who not only provided me with 5,000 horse infantry to support the battle, but also provided me with more than 1 million taels of silver. And what did I bring to the other party?

I deceived the elite of Dashun to wander on Changxing Island for more than three months, because of my mistake, Shanhaiguan fell into the hands of the Manchus.

I'm going to make up for it, and how can I make it up? Assisting Dashun to drive the Qing army out of the border wall is the greatest compensation. As for King Fu becoming the emperor, let him wait a little longer, anyway, the throne will be his. ”

With Li Zhaoji's escape from the hinterland of Liaodong, Shen Youlong's headquarters were also rescued, and with the support of the navy, he retreated to Changxing Island and joined Chen Ping's headquarters. It can be said that the Cantonese army was in a state of idleness.

As for Li Zhaoji, he still stationed troops in Haicheng, his meaning is very clear, unite with the Shun army, and put on a posture of attacking Liaoyang.

This is because the place south of Haicheng has been swept away by the Eastern Brigade, and it cannot support the battle of the large army, and if you want to attack, you must occupy Liaoyang and integrate the resources around Liaoyang. It was precisely because the Qing army knew this that Duoduo gathered his army to Liaoyang.

Of course, there was another reason, and the welcome mutiny was finally confirmed.

This guy borrowed a lot of silver from Shengjing, and fled before Li Zhaoji went north, and as Li Laiheng gave him a knighthood, official position and many other conditions on behalf of Dashun, this guy chose to work for Dashun without hesitation. It's just that the money he was carrying was directly confiscated by Li Zhaoji, and Li Zhaoji was not polite to Shang Kexi, and regarded this huge amount of money as an introduction fee.

And although Li Laiheng showed enough anger in front of Shang Kexi, and even staged a farce with Li Zhaoji, he didn't care that Li Zhaoji got the money, not that he didn't care about the huge money, but he knew that if he ate it in Li Zhaoji's mouth, he couldn't let him spit it out.

On the contrary, Li Laiheng made a deal with Li Zhaoji, and this money was counted as given by Dashun, and Li Zhaoji was not allowed to ask for a bounty from Dashun for all the military exploits and other things in the battle of Shengjing in the north.

Li Zhaoji was very satisfied with this, but he still had to cooperate with Dashun to expel the Qing army from the pass.

Shang Kexi's defection is also a big plus for Dashun. After leaving Liaodong angrily, this guy sneaked into the capital smoothly, and before the Manchus did not find out that he surrendered, he beat the Manchus with a time difference, and took advantage of the time when Kong Youde was not in the army under the domain, Shang Kexi entered the army and persuaded more than 2,000 people to surrender to Dashun.

Most of them were his subordinates, and Li Laiheng had an additional task, which was to move Shang Kexi's family members from Haicheng to southern Liaoning, and then move to Guannai by sea.

In the end, Li Zicheng arranged a good place for Shang Kexi, Denglai.

and named him the Marquis of Lai, although he changed from a king to a marquis, but the marquis is already the highest title in Dashun.

"Do you know what Dong Wong will think of you when you say that?" Zhao Wenji first raised his hand to drive his entourage out, and then said to Li Zhaoji seriously, he continued: "Don't forget, your foundation is in Tamsui, in Guangdong. The Zheng family is finished, and you want to replace it.

Although the thieves are strong now, as long as Daming does not die, you are mainly dealing with Daming, how can you treat Dong Weng like this. If you fail, it's just that, if you succeed in supporting King Fu, he will be the future Ming Shoufu, you want to go against the Ming Shoufu?

Do you think you have too little trouble? ”

When Li Zhaoji heard this, he was stunned at first, and then slapped his head hard, during this time, there were too many victories, too much money, and too much prestige, which made him involuntarily flutter.

"Mr. Zhao, thank you for reminding me, I got carried away." Li Zhaoji said: "Tang Mu, just so stupid, don't make tea for Mr. Zhao." ”

"Yes." Tang Mu pointed to the tea cup in front of Zhao Wenhe.

"It's cold!"

From the time when Chen Ping was in control of the Guangdong army, Li Zhaoji found that Zhao Wenji may not be infinitely loyal to his Dongweng. For example, the relationship between him and Chen Ping, Zhao Wen saw through it early, but he never told Shen Youlong, even after Shen Youlong made a comeback, it was still the same, although it was useless to tell at that time, Chen Ping had already had the heart to stand on his own, but Zhao Wenji chose to keep quiet, which can still keep the relationship between Li Zhaoji and Shen Youlong at a good level.

Obviously, today, when Li Zhaoji got carried away, it was Zhao Wenji who reminded him.

"You'd better think of a way to give Lord Shen an explanation, even if it's just a rhetoric." Zhao Wenji picked up the hot tea and said.

Li Zhaoji said: "There is really no other way for a while, I really can't get out, Mr. Zhao." ”

Li Zhaoji assisted Dashun in implementing the strategy, more to curry favor, after all, there was a clear opportunity to capture Shengjing and force the Qing army to return to help, but Li Zhaoji did not do that, but chose the most beneficial way for the trading company. If you give up the matter of Liaodong at this time and help Shen Youlong to assist King Fu to ascend the throne, Dashun will inevitably hold a grudge, and some cooperation will not be carried out in the future.

Not to mention anything else, in the future, the trading company will fight against the Qing army, and you can also ask for a bounty, if people don't give it, won't Li Zhaoji fight against the Qing Dynasty?

Not to mention, after the establishment of the north and the south, the communication between the north and the south was hindered, and Li Zhaoji could completely intervene in the maritime trade.

Li Zhaoji thought about it, but he couldn't think of any good way, until Tang Mu pushed his shoulder, Li Zhaoji found that Zhao Wen and this guy were drinking tea at ease with the old god, and he looked indifferent, thinking that he had a way.

"Sir, please teach me." Li Zhaoji said with a grin.

Zhao Wenji also sincerely helped Li Zhaoji, he has been working as a staff member all his life, because of this, he can always come into contact with various defeats of the Ming Dynasty, and he has been defeated by the Manchu Qing again and again, but after Li Zhaoji appeared, the good news was always associated with him, and Zhao Wenji really admired Li Zhaoji's ability.

"As soon as the north wind season arrived, Wu Sangui immediately sent the warships and merchant ships under his control to transport a group of family members to the south, because of Shi Kefa's obstruction, the Wu family father and son could not get enough ships in the south of the Yangtze River, and they came to transport the troops and families on Juehua Island, and they must turn to you for help.

How are you going to deal with that? Zhao Wenji asked.

Li Zhaoji said: "I really didn't think that if it wasn't for some accidents, I should have carried King Fu to Yuntai Mountain now, and then contacted the four towns in Jiangbei to support King Fu." ”

Zhao Wenji said: "Based on what the old man sees, you can pretend to agree to Wu Sangui, and then tell him that there is no point in transporting the family members to the south, it is better to transport troops to the south."

Ship all the soldiers and horses of Liaozhen and the necessary family members to Jeju Island, and then throw your brains into Jiangnan, and join you in the name of the Qing monarch to enter Beijing and kill Shi Kefa and Qian Qianyi. ”

It seems that this is the only way for Wu Sangui. As for the rest of the family members, if they can protect it, they can protect it, and if they can't, forget it. Li Zhaoji thought for a moment and said, but he said, "But you don't really want me to do this, do you?" ”

"Of course not, 50,000 people in Liaozhen, and 10,000 in Gaodi voted for the Manchu Qing Dynasty. There were more than 40,000 people left in Wu Sangui, and he also recruited some Liaoxi Xiangyong to supplement.

Among these people, the most elite group is already in the south of the Yangtze River, and now there are about 7,000 people in Nanjing City and 8,000 people in Fujian.

Of the remaining more than 20,000, there are three or four thousand people in Jeju, and the rest are all on Kyaw Island.

Wu Sangui is now in a hurry, because the weather is getting colder and colder, and Juehua Island is frozen in winter, but it is directly connected to the land. When the Qing army comes, how is he Wu Sangui good? ”

Li Zhaoji nodded slightly, he already understood, and he said: "What you mean is to fool Wu Sangui to transport the troops to Jeju Island first, and use this to persuade Lord Shen not to act rashly." After Wu Sangui's main force of soldiers and horses was trapped on Jeju Island, and then launched a major event to support King Fu, right? ”

"The children can be taught!" Zhao Wenji nodded.

Li Zhaoji's face was solemn: "But you also know that Wu Sangui is very mysterious now, he is on Juehua Island, and he is an arranger to contact me, neither going out of the island, nor allowing other troops to enter the island." I don't think he's going to get on my boat, or even let me know where he is.

As a result, Wu Sangui would surrender to the Manchus as soon as he received the news.

After all, at that time, Juehua Island was already frozen, and ships could not enter and leave the port, but the Qing army could go to the island. Wu Sangui had no choice. ”

Zhao Wenji said: "Yes, so what, so that Wu Xiang and his son can be beaten as traitors." ”

Li Zhaoji said again: "Let's change our thinking, we will make it public now, we want to support King Fu, what do you think Wu Sangui will do?" ”

Zhao Wenji's face immediately pulled down, if Wu Sangui knew now that King Fu was not dead, and Li Zhaoji betrayed him again, he would definitely choose to surrender Dashun. After all, he still has more than 20,000 soldiers, as well as the people on Juehua Island, who can assist Dashun in attacking Liaoxi.

Only Dashun can provide him with military rations and supplies.

"Is it better for Wu Sangui to surrender to Daming, or to surrender to Dashun?" Li Zhaoji squinted and asked Zhao Wenji.
