"Shang Zhixin is a traitor, you dare to come to Qixia Mountain to throw yourself into the net and watch the arrows"

I was dressed as a monk, standing outside the mountain gate of Qixia Zen Temple, looking around, answering the letter of the public, and finally heard the roar of my old friend Prince An Yue Le. That's the taste! Back then, when he was a great sect reprimanding a group of children of the Aixin Jueluo family who were unsuccessful and wandered around the Bada Hutong all day long, he was a taste. I didn't expect it to be so many years, and it hasn't changed at all.

Just when Shang Zhixin turned his head to look inside the mountain gate of Qixia Temple, with a whoosh, a sharp arrow flew over his bald head! This annoyed Shang Zhixin, and he opened his loud voice and roared: "Yue Laosi, what are you doing here?" How can you let arrows go wild? What to do if you shoot someone? It's been so many years, and you haven't changed it! ”

It was really Yue Le who released the arrow, only to see this old boy walking quickly from the mountain gate with a long bow, shouting as he walked: "The surname is Shang, there is a kind of you don't run, I'll shoot closer and shoot again, and an arrow will kill you!" ”

"Still want to shoot? What's the use of you shooting me? Did you shoot the third prince Zhu and Wang Datou to death? If you shoot me, Wang Datou's Huaixi Red Turban Army will come to break your Jiangdong camp! ”

As soon as he heard the five words "Huaixi Red Turban Army", Yue Le was angry, picked up his longbow and wanted to shoot again, but he didn't bring a quiver, but let a Goshha hold it, so he stretched out his right hand and shouted: "Arrows!" ”

Shang Zhixin saw that this Yue Le didn't seem to be joking with him, and he was also a little nervous, and hurriedly said aloud: "Yue Laosi, Xuzhou has been occupied by the Huaixi Red Turban Army, and Haizhou will soon be occupied by the Huaixi Red Turban Army. Your contact with the imperial court has been cut off, and it is unlikely that you will receive reinforcements from the imperial court in the future, don't you really want to keep the last bit of capital of the imperial court in Jiangnan? ”

Hearing Shang Zhixin's words, Yue Le finally didn't shoot the arrow he had just taken in his hand again, but just said coldly: "This is not the place to talk, follow me!" ”

I still have to say it, who made Yue Le really unable to defeat the Huaixi Red Turban Army now? When you hear the name, you know you can't beat it! Originally, he just couldn't beat Wu Sangui, but now there is another Wang Datou and his Huaixi Red Turban Army.

Since you can't fight hard, you can only use some insidious and cunning means!

And this Shang Zhixin is obviously an envoy sent by Geng Jingzhong to collude with him. If you really want to shoot it with one arrow, then you can only be tough with Wang Datou's Huaixi Red Turban Army. However, the strongest 30,000 Eight Banner soldiers and Green Battalion soldiers under his command who belonged to the Jiangdong Battalion had been wiped out by the Huaixi Red Turban in the Battle of Fuliji-Suishui. There are still some remaining troops, most of which are adapted from the original Jiangning Banner Battalion and Green Battalion, because their families were all lost in Nanjing, so when they besieged Nanjing before, they used their strength in Yuhuatai and Xiaolingwei, and as a result, they suffered heavy casualties and suffered great injuries. Not to mention the Huaixi Red Turban Army, even if Geng Jingzhong's Dongwang Army and Yingtian Regiment were killed, Yue Le would be enough to choke.

So he just shot Shang Zhixin with an arrow is actually to relieve a hate, by the way to scare this disloyal and unfilial thing, after scaring him, he has to invite him into the temporary official office he has placed in the Qixia Temple, and he has to find a secluded room, and after the two brothers sit down, they will make a pot of high, and discuss the matter of being a second minister and a third minister while drinking tea.

said that he wanted to discuss, but Yue Le really couldn't pull this face, he had been a great sectarian of the Manchu imperial family, how could he surrender to the third prince of Zhu as a second minister? If this retainer is done, he will not be able to die well when he turns back, and it will be difficult to explain when he sees Ama Abatai below!

So he kept talking about the things of the past with the monk's letter. Speaking of which, the two big men were so sad and sad that they almost cried. In the end, Shang Zhixin sighed, wiped his tears, and got to the point: "Lord Wang, I'll tell you the truth. My Shang Zhixin is just defrauding the Ming Dynasty, I am not a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty at all, I am just to kill the Ming Dynasty and become this Ming Dynasty official! ”

As soon as Yue Le heard this, he suddenly became energetic: "I answer the gong, you are still a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty!" It seems that the first emperor did not misunderstand you! ”

"No, I'm not a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty!"

"Then aren't you deceiving the Ming Dynasty?"

"Yes, but my real lord is not Kangxi, but King Gengdong!"

"Geng Jingzhong?" Yue Le looked disdainful, "You voted for him?" Why? ”

Shang Zhixin smiled bitterly: "King An, because he rescued Zhixin's family from the prison car, and gave Zhixin brocade clothes and food, so that Zhixin can continue to be a master." If it weren't for Dongwang, Zhixin would have suffered a thousand knives at the entrance of the vegetable market. Tell me, who else can I vote for if I don't vote for the East King? ”

"This" Yue Le was speechless.

This Geng Jingzhong is very addicted to food, but he is really good to Shang Zhixin's family! If he hadn't come to the rescue, Shang Zhixin would have been sent to Beijing to be cut to pieces.

Shang Zhixin went on to say: "And my family and Living Lu Bu and Little Living Lu Bu have long been mortal enemies, and more than half of my family died because of their father and son. The reason why they didn't kill them all was because they wanted to use the sword of the Qing court to kill all my family.

If their father and son grasp the power of the small Ming Dynasty in Nanjing, then my Shang family will have no way to survive in heaven and earth. Therefore, in order to protect himself and repay his kindness, Shang had to follow King Geng Dong to the end!

But King Geng Dong wants to fight and live, and it is too difficult for Lu Bu's father and son! Just a small Lu Bu, King Geng Dong will not succeed! This little Lu Bu is not only good at fighting, but also very good at demagoguery, and he is good at dancing with long sleeves, and he is very good at winning over all parties. When he defeated the Jiangxi camp and turned around to deal with the king of the east, the king of the east was going to be defeated nine times out of ten. Will my family still have a way to live?

And if the East King wants to be undefeated, he can only cooperate with you, the prince, and then strike first and give the little living Lu Bu a ruthless one! And Lord Wang, you can only deceive the Ming Dynasty first, just like Jiang Wei deceived the Wei Dynasty back then, and this cooperation can be realized! Lord Wang, are you willing to be Jiang Wei of the Qing Dynasty? ”

When Jiang Wei of the Qing Dynasty?

Yue Le muttered in his heart, and said in his heart: Are you cursing me and Geng Jingzhong? I'm Jiang Wei, then Geng Jingzhong is Zhong Hui, and these two don't seem to end well, right?

"What if I don't do this Jiang Wei?" Yue Le asked word by word.

Shang Zhixin said: "Chen Yonghua has led 10,000 troops to cross the river to Puzikou, and Xiaohuo Lu Bu also transferred three battalions (Chang Wei's army) of the Huaixi Red Turban Army to help in the battle. At the same time, Liu Jinzhong would also march to Haizhou and threaten Huai'an. Lord Wang, how long do you think Jiangbei camp can last? The Jiangbei camp is about to collapse, do the people under your command still have the determination to fight to the death? Even if you can withstand King Gengdong, can you withstand the little living Lu Bu? When he finishes the East King and then comes to you, you won't be wiped out? Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to unite with Dongwang to be a living Jiang Wei! ”

Yue Le's brows tightened, Shang Zhixin's analysis was correct!

The northern camp in Jiangbei was not strong in the first place, and now it is even more panicked, and it is impossible to withstand the two-way attack of Chen Yonghua and Liu Jinzhong, and Huai'an, Yangzhou, and Tongzhou are lost, that is, the northern road is exhausted.

At that time, the hearts of the Qing army in Jiangnan will only be more panicked, not to mention the small Lu Bu, even Geng Jingzhong's attack will not be able to withstand it. Even if it resists, it doesn't make much sense, when Xiaohuo Lu Bu takes Luzhou, Anqing, and Jiujiang, opens up the Yangtze River waterway and Jiangxi's road to Guangdong, and then waves the army eastward, the Qing army in Jiangnan still has to be annihilated.

Yue Le frowned deeply, staring at Shang Zhixin tightly: "But how can this Jiang Wei be?" ”

"First, you have to withdraw your troops from outside Nanjing! Not only you have to withdraw, but also the Jiangnan battalion! Second, you have to hand over the two prefectures of Zhenjiang and Changzhou to the king of the east, and in the areas of Jiangnan Daying, Zhejiang and Fujian, you also have to hand over Guangdezhou (belonging to Anhui), Quzhou Mansion, Yanzhou Mansion, Chuzhou Mansion, Wenzhou Mansion, Jianning Mansion, Yanping Mansion, and Shaowu Mansion to the East King; Third, you led the Qing officials from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian to ask the third prince of Zhu to surrender and ask for the envoy of the festival. Third. Of course, it is to secretly select elite dead soldiers, sneak into Yingtianfu to wait for the order of the East King, and catch all the thieves who want to live Lu Bu, Chen Yonghua, Lu Sanhao and so on! ”

"What about after you've caught them all?" Yue Le asked.

Shang Zhixin looked at Yue Le and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it first, before you catch it all, have you married someone in your family?" ”

"Not yet. I've been busy fighting wars for the past two years, where can I take care of it? ”

"Then marry Liugege to the East King, marry Qigege to me, and we will be a family in the future!"

"What?" Yue Le was stunned by such a brazen request, "How old is my daughter?" You're both so old."

In fact, Geng Jingzhong's monk Zhixin is not particularly old, Shang Zhixin is the age of "Ben Si", Geng Jingzhong is in his early thirties, and Yue Le's six and seven grids are also in their teens.

But in the face of a political marriage without love, age is not an issue at all. The problem is that Yue Le's two daughters are not in Jiangnan, but in Beijing!

"No, no," Yue Le shook his head repeatedly, "My two daughters are in Beijing!" I'm going to descend to the Ming Dynasty, they're afraid."

"You can ask the Lord Regent for two Gege!" Shang Zhixin said with a smile, "The regent is a reasonable person, and he knows that you are deceitful to protect the Qing Dynasty, and he will definitely not embarrass your family." Even if you don't return to the Northern Dynasty after you succeed, and become the grandfather of the Geng Dynasty in Jiangnan, the regent will be considerate. ”

"The regent is reasonable."

Shang Zhixin nodded: "Yes, to the prince, if you don't write the book today, hurry up and send it to Beijing with an eight-hundred-mile fly, while Haizhou has not yet been occupied by Liu Jinzhong, the flying horse can still pass." ”

"Good!" Yue Le nodded heavily, and then said to Shang Zhixin, "I answer the gong, you can also write a book to talk to the regent about your difficulties, maybe the regent will pardon your family." ”

"Good!" Shang Zhixin nodded and said with a smile, "It's time to write something for the regent!" If this thing is done, it will be Wu, Qing, and Geng in the future, and maybe the Qing Dynasty will have to come to fight against Wu! ”

"Lian Geng against Wu?" Yue Le thought about it, and the expression on his face became extremely solemn again, "If the East King can eradicate Wang Datou, Chen Yonghua, and Lu Sanhao, then Wang Fuchen and Zheng Jing will definitely take refuge in Wu Sangui, and Wu Sangui's strength will rise again, and the former Cao Wei is undoubtedly their Wu family!" ”

Shang Zhixin said with a smile: "King An, when the big thing is not done, you are Jiang Wei of the Qing Dynasty, if the big thing is done, whether you are in Geng Zaiqing, you are a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, and you are worthy of the surname of Aixin Jueluo!" ”

"That makes sense!"

Anhui, the capital city of Luzhou.

The roar of the cannon fell silent suddenly, followed by an earth-shattering shout.

The smoke shrouded in the west of the Luzhou capital city dissipated slightly, and a large gap appeared on the rammed earth brick city wall in the distance, and the masonry and rammed earth in the upper part of the city wall collapsed, forming a gentle slope that was easy to climb. The soldiers of the Huaixi Red Turban Army, armed with spears, knives, flintlock pistols, and tattered cloth iron armor (peeled from the corpses of the Eight Banners), held simple wooden shields, and charged against the raining arrows from the city walls. Many of the warriors fell on the way to the charge, but the rest still struggled forward, and the flintlock musketeers at the front had already rushed up the gentle slope, their white blades glowing with cold light, and the black holes of their guns were filled with gunpowder and bullets!

The Qing army defending the city was also quite tenacious, and at the same time that the Huaixi Red Turban Army was climbing the gentle slope, they also rushed up to fill the mouth. Rushing to the forefront of the Qing army was also a group of shotgunslingers, musketeers and shotgunners on both sides came to a shootout at the gap in the city wall, and many people fell on both sides, and the Qing army had more casualties, and most of the officers and soldiers who rushed up to fill the gap were killed and wounded, and the rest were a little cowardly, and began to turn around and retreat.

Taking advantage of this moment, dozens of dead soldiers of the Red Turban Ming Army finally rushed forward. Then the hand-to-hand combat unexpectedly began at the gap in this city wall dozens of steps wide!

Seeing that the front line had finally reached the stage of hand-to-hand combat, Li Zhongshan, who was supervising the battle in the back, finally showed a smiling face: "Okay! Playing well, it deserves to be Luo Laohu! ”

Luo Laohu is Luo Dawei, this middle-aged man who was originally buried in the long river of history, now shows amazing military talent, and the Suzhou Red Turban Army under him is also an elite army that can fight tough battles in the hands of Li Zhongshan!

However, even Luo Laohu's Suzhou soldiers, when attacking Luzhou Mansion, they also encountered a lot of difficulties, and the two sides had been fighting desperately around that gap for two days, and one battalion of Suzhou soldiers couldn't move, so they let another battalion go up, and now it has been changed to the fourth battalion!

The reason why the Qing army in Luzhou Mansion is so tenacious is because it is the current governor of Anhui Jin Fu who supervises the army in Luzhou Mansion. It was Jin Fu, who was later famous for governing the river. He is also a banner man, the Han Army with a yellow flag, Shunzhi was born as a pen post in the sixth year, and he was promoted to his current position step by step. Compared with those "Han temporary officials" who relied on the imperial examination and borrowed Beijing debts to become officials, his ability to do things is certainly much more solid. And he is also very good at river engineering plugging. Therefore, there is also a lot of research on how to block the opening of the city wall smashed by cannonballs. For the past three days, his men have been able to keep a crack in the wall.

However, every time the Qing soldiers blocked, they would lose dozens or hundreds of people, and while the three battalions of the Red Turban Army paid a lot of casualties, the Anhui governor Fu Biao in the city of Luzhou was also constantly consumed!

And how many people can there be in one fubiao? Isn't it a matter of time before the gas runs out and the lamp runs out?

Finally, this time the attack supervised by Luo Dawei finally made a breakthrough, and a "big" battalion flag was finally inserted into this gap in the wall of Luzhou Mansion.

Li Zhongshan and Zhou Chang stood side by side in the front-line headquarters, holding binoculars to watch the siege throughout. The Qing army here was tenacious, but the Huaixi army besieging the city was even more tenacious and its morale was even higher. Although they are all new recruits who have just joined the army, and their skills in command, organization, coordination, etc., are not at home, but this characteristic of daring to fight tough battles and not being afraid to gnaw hard bones shows that they will be the pillars of the country in the future.

Zhou Chang nodded lightly: "Supervisor, that Jin Fu who guards Luzhou is also a capable official. How many people is he? can actually block us for three or four days with a Luzhou capital city! When I catch it, I will persuade him and see if it can be used by me? ”

Li Zhongshan is in a good mood, although this battle was a bit hard, but now he has successfully won the Luzhou Mansion, and the next step is Anqing!

I'm afraid Anqing is really difficult to fight!

If this Jin Fu is willing to surrender, it may be easy to take Anqing, after all, this Anqing is the real capital of Anhui Province, Jin Fu has been working in Anqing for the past few years, and he is very familiar with the situation there.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said to Zhou Chang: "No, I will personally go to persuade him to surrender!" Always give Jin Ziyuan a little face, after all, he is a capable official! ”

Zhou Chang smiled: "Then you are really Corporal Lixian!" ”

When the two of them were discussing how to subdue Jin Fu, a capable official, Shang Shuying's cheerful voice suddenly came.

"Inspector, Inspector, great joy! You've been crowned king by the court! ”

"Crowned king?" Li Zhongshan was stunned, "What kind of king?" ”

"The King! The court made you the king of England! ”

"The King?" Li Yat-sen thought to himself: I will be the British king "Lears" in the future, or the British king "Li Yucheng". Is this British king's fief in England?

When he was pondering, Shang Shuying had already led a brocade-clothed guard into the headquarters with a smile, first saluted Li Zhongshan, and said with a smile: "The last general has congratulated the king!" ”

Li Zhongshan retracted his thoughts, and then glanced at Shang Shuying, this girl has been doing very well these days, and she can't find fault at all, which also makes Li Zhongshan's impression of her much better. I don't want to kill her anymore

Then he looked at the Jinyiwei who was delivering the decree, it turned out to be an acquaintance, it was Liu Shuochuan, who was pulled onto the revolutionary boat by him at the gate of the Shuiguan in Nanjing City, and now he is now Jinyiwei's calmer.

Because Li Yat-sen has the grace of supporting him, he has always respected Li Yat-sen, and if it weren't for the decree today, he couldn't salute Li Yat-sen before the completion of the decree, he would have bowed down a long time ago.

"Lord Wang," Liu Shuochuan said with a smile, "It was proposed by the King of the East to make you the king of England, and the whole court and the central government also unanimously felt that your merit was enough to be crowned king, so the prison country asked you not to resign, just accept the title directly." ”

"What? It's the king of the east." Li Zhongshan was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: What does Geng Jingzhong want to do? It's weird!
