Dagukou, Zhongjian Fort.

Yang Qilong, Minister of Beiyang Trade and Minister of Zhili Regiment Training, did not go to the Yamen located in the Dagukou commercial port to do business, nor did he go to the Beiyang New Army camp next to Zhongjian Fort to supervise the training, but stayed in a secluded study in Zhongjian Fort and sat opposite Cao Yin, who came from afar.

After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, they began to stare wide-eyed, and they didn't know how long, and the two cups of fragrant tea in front of them were already cold.

"Third Brother Yang!" Cao Yin suddenly spoke, "The regent can't win!" The emperor has gathered 100,000 troops, and Da Zhou has also sent 20,000 reinforcements, and the leading general is Wu Shijue, the eldest son of Wu Guogui.

In addition, the Great Zhou, the Great Qing, and the Great Jing have formed three anti-Ming alliances. Therefore, in order to avoid falling into the predicament of being attacked from all sides, Li Zhongshan will definitely go all out to attack Dajing's territory and Jiujiang in the southern part of Anhui, and he is not able to send reinforcements to the regent. ”

Yang Qilong just looked at Cao Yin coldly and was silent.

Of course, Yang Qilong knew about the three anti-Ming alliances and Li Zhongshan's inability to go north, if Li Zhongshan could send troops, he would not have provided so many Huaixi Red Turban Army armor banners, so that Yang Qilong's people would pretend to be Ming troops.

But the fake is fake after all, it can only scare the officers and soldiers on Kangxi's side, and it is impossible to really increase Fuquan's strength.

If Kangxi's subordinates weren't afraid, or if they had the same hard backstage - Wu Sangui! That's a bit dangerous!

Cao Yin picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of herbal tea, and then said: "Third Brother Yang, the queen mother passed away last month, died of dystocia, and the child did not live. The emperor had four sons before him, none of whom lived past the age of two. The emperor knows that all your daughters are rich and fat, and they are very easy to give birth to, so I want to make your little sister the queen! ”

"Xiaomi?" Yang Qilong was stunned for a moment, "But she is King Yu's side Fujin!" ”

Cao Yin smiled: "The emperor has long liked your little mi, the emperor is the king of Yidi, and he doesn't care about the etiquette of the Central Plains!" And Xiaomi's sister is quite capable of giving birth, and the children she gave birth to are all very good, which is exactly the kind that the emperor needs! ”

"No way!" Yang Qilong shook his head firmly, "The regent treats me well!" ”

Cao Yin said: "The emperor will not treat you badly, as long as you are willing to defect, the emperor can not only make Yang Xiaomi the queen. It's Liyang Xiaomi, not Lina Lalan'er! Moreover, the emperor can also appoint you as the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang, this governor of Zhili is much stronger than the minister of Zhili Tuanlian!

In addition, after the emperor defeated the regent, he would also implement the official system in the north and south, and he would also be stationed in Shengjing, and Beijing was just a show, and the military administration in the Guannai was appointed to the four governors of Zhili, Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi! And these four governors, headed by the governor of Zhili!

YANG Sange. This benefit, what can the regent give you? ”

Although Fuquan is extremely fond of Yang Xiaomi, he also trusts Yang Qilong. However, Yang Xiaomi was not appointed as the main room, nor did Yang Qilong be appointed as the governor of Zhili

Yang Qilong still shook his head, "Brother Yin, although I was born in the market, I know loyalty!" And what kind of person is the emperor, I don't know yet? Although the regent didn't let my sister be my eldest wife, nor did he make me a direct governor, he was kind and reassured to follow him. ”

Kangxi killed Ao Bai and sought Sangui, but the signboard was a little smashed, and everyone didn't believe him.

Cao Yin smiled: "Then add a big Zhou prince. Who doesn't know that the prince of Da Zhou is a loyal gentleman and true to his word? With him as a guarantor, you can always rest assured, right? If the news I got was correct, in the days when the mother and son of the crown princess of Da Zhou were under house arrest, Third Brother Yang, did you ask Xiaomi to send clothes and food to their mother and son, right? There's this relationship in. As long as the three anti-Ming alliances still exist, it is impossible for the emperor to go back on his word.

Third Brother Yang, you are really a three-headed bet, no matter who dominates the world in the end, your family's wealth is indispensable, so this is a sure win, don't work hard! ”

Yang Qilong smiled and said, "Brother Yin, brother, I am already a rich man on the rich side, where is the person who dares to work hard?" But this is the guarantee of the prince of the Great Zhou."

"Yes, this is a handwritten letter from the prince of Da Zhou, do you know his handwriting?"

"Know, know."

"That's good."

"Your Majesty, it really doesn't matter to the slaves that the slaves wronged Jiangning for the fall, the slaves led their troops to fight Geng Jingzhong in the Taiping Mansion at that time, and they were shot several arrows by Shang Zhixin, and they almost died. It was Echu who didn't guard Jiangning well, and asked Lu Sanhao, the thief, to take the city. However, the regent said that the slave was guilty of the same crime as Echu, and sentenced the slave to an autumn execution."

In the Taiyuan Imperial Palace, Duolong, who was dressed in dust, was kneeling in front of Emperor Kangxi and crying about his miserable fate.

Sounds pretty miserable!

Although he is the governor of Liangjiang, the responsibility for the fall of Jiangning is indeed not his, but the Jiangning general. But Fuquan, the regent, didn't care about it, and sentenced him and Echu to the same autumn decision.

But now Kangxi is not so easy to be fooled!

"Autumn duel?" Kangxi looked at this successful weight loss Duolong, and asked coldly, "Is it to kill his head this fall?" How did I hear that Echu was killed last year? Could it be that you killed one last year and another this year? ”

"Emperor Shengming, the slave should have been killed last autumn." Doron replied truthfully.

"Nonsense, you killed your head last year, what's going on with you now? Your head is still on your neck! Kangxi's face sank, "You are a bully!" ”

"The emperor is angry. The minion should be killed, but the regent felt that the slave still had use value, so he temporarily spared the slave from death, and let the slave go to Jiangnan to lobby Wang Rebellion, and asked Wang Reverse to send troops to help the regent oppose the emperor. However, but the emperor, the slave is bitter! The slave is going back to Beijing, and the head is gone! But if the slave is about to miss the time, he won't go back to receive the death, and the two unsuccessful losers of the slave will be stabbed for the slave! ”

As he spoke, Doron couldn't cry anymore, sad!

Li Zhongshan can't send troops to help, so Duolong has to go back to Beijing to kill his head! If he doesn't go back, his sons will die.

Kangxi looked at Duolong, his tone was still cold, "Since that's the case, then you should go back quickly, don't miss the lives of your two sons!" ”

"Your Majesty." Dolong's tears were pouring down, "But the slave is afraid of death, and the slave still wants to live!" The minions can only be sorry for the two hard-working losers, the minions are sorry for them, they knew this, they wouldn't force them to study and practice martial arts, and they wouldn't stop them from going to the Eight Hutongs, let alone force them to compete with Nalan Xingde! Anyway, in the end, they are going to kill their heads! ”

Speaking of sad places, Doron has already cried into tears, and it looks strange and sympathetic.

Kangxi saw that Duolong was so sad, and he also felt that this guy should not be deceiving, it was useless for him to be greedy for life and afraid of death, his son could only die for him, or the two sons for him. Isn't this the Amma of this pit?

Thinking of this, Kangxi sighed and said, "Duolong, since your two sons have taken the capital crime for you, then I won't ask you about the sin of losing Jiang Ning." But I don't have a suitable errand for you right now, so you can follow me first! ”

"Emperor Xie," Duolong said with tears in his eyes.

Alright, the lurking mission is complete!

The infiltration is successful, and the rest is easy!

Kangxi asked again: "Tell me now, what is the situation on Wang Datou's side?" Will he be able to defeat Geng Jingzhong and Jie Shu? Will he and Liu Jinzhong fall out? ”

"Back to the emperor," Duolong replied, "whether Wang Datou can defeat Geng Jingzhong and Jieshu depends on whether he can integrate the internal affairs of the pseudo-Ming, the power that the pseudo-Ming now has is enough to defeat Geng Jingzhong and Jieshu, but the pseudo-Ming also has a great weakness, that is, the strong minister and the weak master. This weak lord is not only the third prince of Zhu is weak, but the entire puppet Ming court is weak.

The Pseudo-Ming Dynasty now has five kings of the South, the North, the British, the Zhong, and the Wing, and except for the British King Li Zhongshan, the other four kings are all vassal kings. Although the king of the south is the father of the king of England, Li Fuchen has many heirs, and now he also favors Kong Sizhen and Li Jiqing's mother and son, which has the intention of abolishing the heirs. So within the Li family, there are also a lot of troubles.

In addition, the minions also heard a rumor about Li Zhongshan and Shang Shuying in Nanjing. It is said that Li Zhongshan once slept with Shang Shuying, who was a hostage with him when he was passing through Huainan. So Liu Jinzhong, the king of the north, is a cuckold!

Later, Shang Shuying, Shang Zhixin, Shang Zhijie, and Shang Zhiying led a thousand Shang family elite soldiers to raid the Mochou Lake Palace, and it was Liu Jinzhong who made a trick to kill people with a knife."

"That's a mess!" Kangxi snorted, "After I defeat the regent, I want to give you an errand, if you can do it well, I will make you a minister in the Southern Dynasty." ”

Duolong was stunned, "Your Majesty, do you want to?"

Kangxi nodded and said, "I want to make a non-aggression pact with the Southern Dynasty. I have no intention of going south, and he doesn't want to go north, one south and one north, and not invade each other, this is the best! ”

Nanjing, Mochou Lake British Palace.

The atmosphere in the palace hall was extremely embarrassing, Li Zhongshan and Li Fuchen sat side by side, Kong Sizhen had an embroidered pier next to Li Fuchen, and Li Jiqing stood beside Kong Sizhen. And Fu Honglie was standing at the bottom of the hall, sweating profusely, talking about how big a basket he didn't know how big a basket would be poked.

"The general, the king of the south, the four grids, the three princes. This, this, Da Zhou Tianzi did take in Shang Shuying and gave her the treatment of a princess. ”

Li Zhongshan frowned a little, not because of Wu Sangui's acceptance of Shang Shuying, but because of why Fu Honglie suddenly stammered. This Fu Honglie is usually quite clever, why can't he say anything? It can't be a mini-stroke, right?

"Take it in, take it in," Kong Sizhen also felt strange, she thought that Fu Honglie had failed to return Shang Shuying, and was afraid that Li Fuchen and Li Zhongshan would blame her, so she excused him and said, "Shang Shuying's sin is too big, let it be too late to get it back?" How much it hurts! Shikai. You don't want Sook-young to end up like that, do you? ”

"That's of course" As soon as Li Zhongshan spoke, he felt that it was inappropriate, what does this Kong Sizhen mean? Why ask yourself such questions? Could it be that she also listened to certain rumors?

That's a lot of words!

Thinking of this, his face sank: "Shang Shuying is a traitor, if she is caught, she must be late!" ”

Li Fuchen saw that his son and his little wife seemed to be arguing, and hurriedly said to the mud: "Yes, if you catch it, you will be late, but if you can't catch it, you can't do it." Wu Sangui doesn't give it, can we still go to Chang'an to rob it? Our top priority now is to take the Jiangnan part of Anhui! ”

The Guangdong New Army led by Li Fuchen had made a lot of effort when they were fighting Anqing before, and they had to be allowed to rest for some days. The new army of the Li Yat-sen shogunate had just completed its reorganization, and it would be a while before it could be dispatched.

However, fighting southern Anhui will definitely be the focus of the next stage of work.

Li Zhongshan just wanted to nod his head in agreement, but Fu Honglie suddenly said again: "King Nan, the emperor of the Great Zhou promised to send Shang Shuying to Daming."

"What?" Li Zhongshan was taken aback. He actually didn't think about arresting Shang Shuying back to Ling Chi. First, he had a good impression of Shang Shuying; Second, the incident at Mochou Lake is full of suspicions, so it's better not to crack it!

"Who did she offend?" Li Fuchen also felt incredible.

"Then don't be late? How pitiful is that? Kong Sizhen took a cool breath.

"But Da Zhou Tianzi still has one condition"

"On what terms?" Li Zhongshan asked.

"That's it, that's it," Fu Honglie glanced at Li Jiqing, who was tilting his head and didn't know what he was thinking, "It's the general, you sent back Princess Jiading." ”

"Princess Jiading?" Li Zhongshan thought about it, and immediately his face changed greatly, "Wu Xiaogang? Wu Sangui, what does he think? ”

"Da Zhou Tianzi thinks, he wants to marry Princess Jiading to the third son."

"Ahh I? Little sister to be my wife? Li Jiqing suddenly shouted as if he had been awakened from a sweet dream, "Really? It's true? ”

"Really, really." Fu Honglie was sweating profusely.

"Second brother." Li Jiqing turned his head and wanted to ask his second brother Li Zhongshan to be sent back to Wu Xiaogang immediately, but when he saw a pair of murderous tiger eyes, he suddenly didn't dare to speak.

"What are you kidding Wu Sangui?" Kong Sizhen was also frightened by this proposal.

Li Zhongshan and Li Jiqing are both "belonging to Lu Bu", for a woman like Wu Xiaogang, maybe they will have to kill each other!

Although she wanted her son to marry a woman from the Wu family, it did not include Wu Xiaogang. Wu Xiaogang is already Li Zhongshan's concubine, this is recognized, Wu Xiaogang himself recognizes it!

How could she have the idea of beating Wu Xiaogang for her son? It's going to kill you!

No, I have to explain to Li Yat-sen quickly.

Kong Sizhen just wanted to speak, Li Zhongshan had already gotten up from the chair, and he didn't say hello to Li Fuchen, but just strode out of the hall, and then rode a war horse led by his own soldiers, and went to his shogunate office, Shengqi Building.

In the Shengqi Building, Zhou Chang, Yao Qisheng, and He Tianran were discussing with a group of small soldiers how to crack the alliance of Zhou, Qing, and Jing - in case Fuquan did not win Kangxi, or Fuquan also formed an alliance with Wu Sangui after winning Kangxi, what should Daming do? You have to have a few plans, and you can't be in a hurry when the time comes!

As a result, a few of them were discussing, and they saw Li Zhongshan coming in angrily.

"See the General!"

Several people hurriedly saluted Li Zhongshan.

"Flat!" Li Zhongshan said, "Pei Gong, Xi Zhi, Nature, follow me upstairs!" ”

Li Zhongshan's study was on the second floor of the Shengqi Building, and Zhou Chang, Yao Qisheng, and He Tianran, who were named by him, didn't know what was going on, so they hurriedly followed him upstairs.

Li Zhongshan saw that the three of them had come in, and he didn't tell them about Wu Xiaogang - this is not a state matter, it is a private matter, it is inconvenient to say it directly, but asked the three people: "How can we force Wu Sangui?" ”

"Force Wu Sangui?"

"General, what did Wu Sangui do?"

"Isn't it time to give priority to Geng Jingzhong?"

Facing the questions raised by the three of them, Li Zhongshan said: "Wu Sangui, an old thief, wants to help Kangxi fight Fuquan. If he succeeds, the two of them will be true allies in the future! ”

Now the so-called three alliances are actually very watery, and the only ones who are really aligned are Geng Jingzhong and Jieshu - they have common enemies, and they are both in danger, and it is sincere to huddle together for warmth.

And Wu Sangui just wanted Geng Jingzhong and Jie Shu to find trouble with Li Zhongshan and Li Fuchen, and at the same time, he could free up his hands to get Li Zicheng, and then decide whether to go north first and then south, or south and then north depending on the situation.

But at the moment, he is even willing to hand over Wu Xiaogang to Li Zhongshan. Wu Shifan went to sell personal favors.

"Then we'll have to fight!" Zhou Chang said, "If the old thief Wu really helps, we can't send troops!" ”

Yao Qisheng said: "If you want to send troops, what should you do about Jiangnan?" ”

Zhou Chang suggested: "Then. Get closer! ”

"Closer?" Li Zhongshan asked, "How close?" ”

"Don't go to Beizhili, it's too far and too time-consuming." Zhou Chang suggested, "Let's send troops from Huaibei, go west to take Kaifeng of the Qing State, and then threaten Luoyang!" As long as Wu Sangui's army is attracted to fight for territory with us, then Wu Sangui's drama of aiding Kangxi will not be able to sing! ”
