Wu Sangui's face was extremely ugly, but he had to admit that what Li Yousong said was the truth.

Shen Youlong supported King Fu to land in Songjiang Mansion, and did not launch an army on Nanjing, but contacted all parties and asked all parties to go to Songjiang Mansion to meet King Fu, which was a clever move, and the reaction of all parties was similar to what Li Zhaoji expected, all of which were beneficial to King Fu.

In accordance with the requirements of King Fu, the four towns in Jiangbei watched from the wall and guarded their domains. The reason is very simple, at the beginning, they supported King Fu under the persuasion of Ma Shiying and Lu Jiude, and it was only because King Fu was gone, they supported King Lu for the sake of glory and wealth.

Now that King Fu has returned, it is not an opportunity for them to be promoted and make a fortune, and a feudal town like this, if it goes further, it can only be to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. The Son of Heaven is the blessed king, and the blessed king is not in their hands, so it is just a matter of watching from the wall.

And Shen Youlong, in the name of King Fu, issued the inscriptions in various places, which made it very clear. King Lu's self-reliance is the fault of the Wu family's father and son, and it has nothing to do with others, the civil officials and scholars are not at fault, but have merit, and Shen Youlong has found a step down for the big guy.

Why did the scholars and civil officials support King Lu, it was because they thought that King Fu was dead, and they had to choose King Lu for the sake of the overall situation and the Ming Dynasty. But it only supported King Lu to supervise the country, and did not support him as the emperor, on the contrary, everyone also opposed King Lu to be the emperor.

Of course, these people did not mention the flies during the period of supporting King Lu, and the opposition to King Lu as emperor was more against the Wu family's father and son controlling the government, in fact, it was essentially a party struggle, but it was said by Shen Youlong that Ling Ran was righteous.

As Shi Kefa went to the court to see King Fu and was reinstated by the officials, and as King Fu admitted all personnel arrangements except for the Wu Party, various localities chose to support King Fu or watch from the sidelines.

Obviously, there are two key figures in the dilemma faced by the Wu family, one is Li Zhaoji, and the other is this Fu King.

Li Zhaoji is just that, the Wu family and even Liaozhen were all played by him, Wu Sangui's concubine was captured by Li Zhaoji, and most of the soldiers and horses in Liaozhen were trapped by Li Zhaoji, everyone has this responsibility, and no one can bear it.

But when King Fu returned, only one person was responsible, and that was Xia Guoxiang. It was he who single-handedly handled this, and he used his head to guarantee that King Fu was dead.

Now that King Fu is not dead, the lightning has returned, and the power system that the Wu family has painstakingly managed has been destroyed in an instant, and Xia Guoxiang knows that he is bound to die. In order to survive, he will inevitably strive for the recognition and support of King Fu, so he will inevitably be separated from the Wu family's father and son.

Therefore, Fujian can't go, and if you go, it is also a civil war with Xia Guoxiang. If Wu Sangui wins, that's it, if he loses, everything will be over.

Wu Sangui didn't dare to take risks, he gritted his teeth and muttered: "Now, there is only one way to go. ”

After saying this, Wu Sangui raised his head, got up and held Li Yousong's hand, let him sit down, and said, "Mr. Li, in the current situation, do you have any advice?" ”

When Li Yousong heard this, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and it was clear that Daming could no longer tolerate Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui either dies or hides, and if he wants to compete for wealth and glory, he can only go elsewhere.

The so-called other places, only Dashun and Manchu can go.

And Dashun has just experienced an extremely bloody war with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and a large part of the reason for this is that Wu Sangui did not take the initiative to attach, and he was false and wronged, delaying time and weakening Dashun's power, and Wu Sangui went to vote at this time, it was a poor vote, how could Li Zicheng give him any good treatment.

On the contrary, it was the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who had dealt with Liaozhen for decades, and had encountered all of them on the Manchu side. Especially in the era of Huang Taiji, the ability to treat Liao Zhen very preferentially can be said to be Liao Zhen deceived me thousands of times, and I treated Liao Zhen like my first love.

Although Dolgon did not have the open-mindedness of Huang Taiji, Gao Di went to vote for him and became the king.

It can be said that Wu Sangui only has the only way to be a traitor now, and he knows it himself, but he has to ask Li Yousong.

"The students are stupid, where can they teach Ping Xiber. The student is just a microphone now, and when he informs Ping Xibo of the news he got from Songjiang on this trip, he will go into hiding. Li Yousong said lightly.

"What else did you not say?" Wu Xiang also recovered from his anger and asked.

Li Yousong said: "Liao Guogong, Ping Xibo, this time I went to Songjiang, and the students first went to visit Shen Youlong, and they were almost ignored by him. He also arranged for someone to meet Li Zhaoji, but he never saw him, thinking that he would return in vain, but when he returned to Nanjing, Shen Youlong secretly met with the students and asked them to send a message to the two. ”

"What did he say?" Wu Xiang asked.

Li Yousong said: "Shen Youlong said that in the current situation, if the Wu family stays in Nanjing, there is only one death, and if they go to Fujian, most of them will not survive. Only the surrender of the Manchus can be taken, but Nanjing can only go to Liaodong by sea.

The Yangtze River was blocked, and there were gunboats from the Oriental Trading Company at sea, making it difficult to make the trip.

But if the two of them are willing to help him a little, he will arrange for someone to open a gap in the joint defense of the river and the sea, so that the two of them can reach Juehua Island safely.

Moreover, Juehua Island and Ping Xibo were the same when they left, the soldiers and horses and Liao people were still the same, and Ping Xibo's father and son went to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they were not poor. ”

Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui looked at each other, they both knew the situation, and now there was only one way to survive by surrendering to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Who would have thought that Shen Youlong would want to help.

"What did he ask our father and son to help us with?" Wu Sangui asked.

Li Yousong said: "Bring Qian Qianyi, Liu Kongzhao, Gong Dingyu, Wu Meicun .......... ”

Li Yousong snapped his fingers and said more than 20 names in a row, all of which were when Wu Xiang and Shi Kefa were in a quarrel, and Wu Xiang was detained in Nanjing City by the Ming Dynasty and Wenchen.

And Wu Sangui took pen and paper and wrote down all these names, and after reading these names, Wu Sangui and his son knew Shen Youlong's intentions.

Among these people, Qian Qianyi and other civil officials are the representatives of Jiangnan scholars, important members of the Donglin Party, and it just so happens that Shen Youlong is also, and these people are gone, Shen Youlong automatically becomes the leader of Jiangnan scholars, plus Shi Kefa once supported King Lu, and said that the black history of King Fu can not be established, among civil officials and scholars, no one can threaten Shen Youlong's position, and his position as the first assistant is fixed, and these people are gone, and the court has vacated a lot of positions, and Shen Youlong can also use this to promote his henchmen and control the government.

"What a trick to kill with a knife!" Wu Sangui said viciously.

Obviously, Shen Youlong may not really want to take these people away and kill them all, and the effect is the same.

Li Yousong said: "The students have said everything they have to say, and there is nothing else to worry about. Liao Guogong, Ping Xibo, the student retired. ”

Wu Sangui's father and son did not stop them, now that the catastrophe is coming, they are flying separately, and it is already rare for Li Yousong to risk his life to go to Songjiang Mansion in times of crisis.

"Dad, what do you think?" Wu Sangui asked.

Although Wu Xiang was annoyed by Wu Sangui's unfilial piety, now was not the time to settle accounts, he gritted his teeth and said, "One more person." ”

"King Lu?" Wu Sangui asked.

Wu Xiang shook his head: "Of course not, King Lu must be handed over to Shen Youlong in order to get a ticket to Liaodong." The person I'm talking about is Zheng Zhilong. ”

Wu Sangui thought about it for a while, Xindao was indeed an important person. At this time, the Manchu Qing should have realized that Li Zhaoji was its great enemy, and Li Zhaoji was a maritime merchant, and his foundation was overseas, and the Manchus wanted to deal with it, so naturally there were sailors, and only Zheng Zhilong had this ability.

Wu Xiang picked up the pen, added Zheng Zhilong's name, and said, "Let's hand this list to Shen Youlong and see how he replies." ”

Zheng Zhilong is considered a gift from the Wu family father and son to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but he is also very important to Shen Youlong, so that the relationship between Shen Youlong and the Oriental Trading Company can be tested, if Shen Youlong wants to deal with Li Zhaoji, Zheng Zhilong will definitely be left.

"It's better to ask him again if he will be brought to Liaodong or killed on the spot!" Wu Sangui said ruthlessly.

Wu Xiang nodded slightly, and immediately responded: "Yes, if he wants to kill him on the spot, we will take him to Liaodong." ”

Obviously, this father and son still have the ambition to make a comeback, and they also understand Shen Youlong's purpose. In addition to borrowing a knife to kill people, Shen Youlong also involved in the plan of the Ming Dynasty to capture Pingkou.

Although it is said that there is constant infighting on the side of the Ming Dynasty, it is surprisingly consistent on the issue of Lianyu Pingkou. Letting go of Wu Sangui and his son, and handing over the soldiers and civilians of Juehua Island to them, the purpose was to improve the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so that it could have more combat power to deal with Dashun.

If all goes well, the Wu family father and son will be able to return to the Ming Dynasty as heroes of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and these people on the list can also assist them in seizing power.

Of course, the father and son had a good idea, but nothing came to fruition.

The cooperation with the Wu family father and son belongs to the eradication of dissidents, and non-trustworthy people cannot be trusted, and only Zhao Wenhe can handle this matter by Shen Youlong's side, so after Zhao Wenhe completed the matter of contacting the four towns of Jiangbei, he immediately participated in this matter, and the letter sent by the Wu family father and son to Songjiang had to go through his hand.

"Lord Shen is worthy of being a master of politics, and I will never be able to do this shameless ability." On Chongming Island, Li Zhaoji was sitting in the VIP room of the Jeju Island, and when he saw the name brought by Zhao Wenji, he couldn't help but sigh when he knew that Shen Youlong had eradicated dissidents.

Li Zhaoji didn't expect Shen Youlong to do this, but when he saw the list, he also felt that it was logical to do so, and everything was reasonable.

It's just that what Li Zhaoji didn't know was that Zheng Zhilong's name was not in the original list given by Zhao Wenji.

"But Mr. Zhao, with what I know about you, you shouldn't have come to tell the whistle and let me foil Lord Shen's plan." Li Zhaoji said with a smile.

Zhao Wenji is not a pure aide, he has his own ideals and beliefs, as well as his own moral standards. If he was completely loyal to Shen Youlong, he would not hide some previous things for Li Zhaoji, and he would not tell Li Zhaoji about Shen Youlong's eradication of dissidents.

Of course, Zhao Wenji does not fully recognize Li Zhaoji, otherwise he could have come to Li Zhaoji's side as a staff member.

Zhao Wenji has his own will.

"Dong Weng asked me to find a way for the retreat of the Wu family's father and son, I will look for it, it is better to find Zhaoji directly, you, as long as you nod your head and open your mouth, everything will be fine. Of course, I won't let you do it for nothing. Zhao Wenji said with a smile.

Li Zhaoji said: "You know, I am at odds with the Manchus, do you think you can convince me to help?" ”

Zhao Wenji said: "Of course, you are at odds with the Manchus, but you have never been a pedantic person. If it is an undying blood feud, why do you have a personal entourage like Luckdhun, why are most of your hussar battalion Mongols, and why are you willing to accept the money sent by the Manchu Qing courtesy? ”

As he spoke, Zhao Wenji took out two pieces of silver, a silver horn, and a piece of Qinglong silver dollar from the Oriental Trading Company, and said in the same way as Li Zhaoji: "The same one or two silver, you tell me, which one is noble and which one is dirty?" ”

Lee laughed, he had always admired Zhao Wenji as a person, he was not pedantic, and he was quite funny.

Zhao Wenji said: "In fact, the greatest justice is yourself, your Oriental Trading Company. As long as the benefits you get in this matter are greater than the benefits obtained by the Manchus, you will be willing. And I can do that, Zhaoji. ”

"Okay, Mr. Zhao, I'll listen to you. If you can't convince me, I will definitely not force you to ask about the retreat you arranged for Wu Sangui, let alone tell Shen Youlong that you told me about it.

You are my friend, Mr. Zhao. Li Zhaoji said seriously.

Shen Youlong calculated Li Zhaoji, but Zhao Wenji did not, on the contrary, he would help within his authority, and Li Zhaoji would not forget.
