Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After Zhu Youlang asked Li Benzhen to step aside temporarily, he discussed with Gao Di and others. Zhu Youlang himself could accept Li Chengdong's intention to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and return to the Ming Dynasty. After all, Li Chengdong was in a bad situation now, and he had to do such a thing for the sake of his own wealth and life.  The only difference was the attitude of the other generals. Although he was the commander-in-chief of the Central Route Army, these generals under his command were not obedient. If it was necessary to decide on the command of the march plan and the battle, he knew that Gaudi and others  People would definitely not dare to disobey his orders, but he would not dare to make the decision alone on accepting Li Chengdong's return. If something went wrong, he would not be able to explain it to Emperor Hongguang, nor could he bear the responsibility.

    Gao Yuanzhao flatly rejected Li Chengdong's surrender plan, "Your Majesty, Li Chengdong is a two-faced villain. He is capricious and has precedents. I don't know if he is pretending to surrender this time. If so, our army will definitely suffer a big loss!"  "

    Although Gao Yuanzhao said this, Gao Di and others felt that if Li Chengdong was really willing to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and return to the Ming Dynasty, then the Central Route Army would definitely be the first to achieve great feats. This temptation was too great.

    Seeing that no one was speaking, Jin Shenghuan spoke first, "Your Majesty, generals, the first thing I want to say is that if Li Chengdong really wants to surrender, it will be very beneficial to us. Not only can we ensure the safety of crossing the river, but we can also seize the opportunity and quickly  The occupation of Puyang and Anyang and the intimidation of Handan can put great pressure on the Tatars, prompting the Tatars to mobilize troops from Shanxi, Shaanxi and Shandong to return to defense. In this way, General Li Dingguo's East Route Army, the Emperor's West Route Army and the Navy General  There will definitely be gains. Of course, we have to guard against Li Chengdong's conspiracy, but as long as we take proper precautions, even if Li Chengdong does not really want to surrender, we will not suffer too much loss. I wonder if some generals think so?" Jin Shenghuan?  It can be seen that Zhu Youlang is as tempted by Li Chengdong's surrender as he is, just look at the statements of several other generals.

    Gao Di and Guo Huai thought for a while and both expressed that they could make careful arrangements to contact Li Chengdong without incurring heavy losses.  When Gao Yuanzhao heard that his words had no effect, he immediately stood up and left, but was scolded sharply by Gao Di. Gao Yuanzhao had no choice but to stay, but said nothing. This shows that Gao Di, the "stepfather", can still speak something.  .

    Seeing that everyone's opinions were becoming unified, Zhu Youlang coughed and told everyone what he knew about the situation of Li Chengdong and the two white flags, "Generals, I am not afraid that Li Chengdong is pretending to surrender, but in general The probability of false surrender is low. After all, he is also considering his own life and future. I think it is worse than this. I send two people close to me to follow Li Benzhen back. No matter what, I have to let Li Chengdong show some sincerity first and let him Doni killed him, and then led his troops east to Fengqiu to join our army. If Li Chengdong really did that, the king's soldiers would naturally send back the news. As for how to send it, Li Chengdong couldn't be informed, so as not to avoid the news. It¡¯s really a scam, what do you think?¡±

    "That's very good." Guo Huaiyi agreed, "It's best to have someone set a fire in Fengqiu City, so that we can all see it. In this way, the main force of our army can take advantage of the Tatars to pursue Li Chengdong.  At that moment, we can cross the river from Taohuayu upstream and seize Yuanyang, which will inevitably lead to a pincer attack on the Tatars, with a high chance of victory."

    Seeing that everyone had no objections, Zhu Youlang said, "In that case, let's bring Li Benzhen here!" After meeting Li Benzhen again, Zhu Youlang said that he could agree to Li Chengdong's surrender, but he wanted Li Chengdong to kill Duni first and then lead his troops eastward.  Xia Fengqiu cooperated with the Ming army in fighting, and had to let two soldiers follow Li Benzhen to Li Chengdong's side and so on.

    As long as Nanming agrees to Li Chengdong's surrender, Li Benzhen's purpose of coming will be achieved. As for Nanming's additional conditions, they must be accepted unconditionally. No one is a fool. If Li Chengdong does not retreat, Nanming will not be able to accept him. Li Benzhen immediately represents  Li Chengdong agreed to Zhu Youlang's proposal.

    After asking Li Benzhen to wait, Zhu Youlang called Zhao Ting alone. The two discussed for a long time. Zhao Ting finally took out two carrier pigeons and taught them to Zhu Youlang to deliver the message. In addition, for the sake of safety, Li Chengdong really did it.  After the "meeting ceremony", the soldiers from both sides can fire cannons in Fengqiu City to inform the south bank. The carrier pigeon is something that can be used urgently in Li Chengdong's repeated situations.

    Not to mention the intensive preparations for the crossing of the river in Nanming, Li Benzhen led two of Zhu Youlang's soldiers to quietly return to the north bank.  It was already late at night when they arrived at the North Bank. Li Benzhen did not dare to delay. He took out his military uniform and put it on where he had buried his clothes before leading the two of them to see Li Chengdong.

    Li Chengdong's heartbeat almost caught up with the beat of the drum, and his eyes were very red. He was sad for his dead concubine, and also worried about his nephew who rushed to Mingying. He was still walking back and forth in the mansion in the middle of the night, and beside him was  Li Chengdong's heart twitched every time he saw Zhao Yujiao, who had simply pretended to be buried.

    "Uncle!" Li Benzhen came back and was shocked to see Li Chengdong's terrifying appearance, "Uncle, King Gui Zhu Youlang has already answeredYes, but I also put forward conditions. Uncle, please take a look.  "Li Benzhen said and handed Zhu Youlang's autographed letter to Li Chengdong.

    After Li Chengdong read the letter, he couldn't help but sigh, killing Duny is really not an easy task!  At least it's not easy to do it psychologically. Duduo was very kind to Li Chengdong during his lifetime. Without Duduo and Dorgon, he wouldn't be where he is today. But now is not the time to talk about kindness. It doesn't matter if he dies alone.  People can't die with him!  "Go and settle those two Xinshi, and then call Yuan Yin right away."

    Li Chengdong looked at his nephew and son. Now only these two people can be absolutely trusted. People like He Dacheng, Wang Zhigang, etc., although they can be called confidants, are not absolute insurance.  "Yuan Yin, you led five hundred soldiers to rush back to Beijing overnight. You must pick up all your family members. Zhu Youlang has already considered this for us. You can go directly out of Tanggu. Someone will be at sea to pick you up. If you can't be picked up,  If it¡¯s your family members, then don¡¯t die with them in vain, you know!¡±

    Li Yuanyin nodded, "Dad, don't worry, I will send mother and the others safely to Tanggu. Then I will leave now." Li Yuanyin was afraid of long nights and dreams. Once things turned against him, Zhuo Butai would definitely rush to notify Beijing of the matter.  He had to get his family out before the news about Zhuo Butai reached Beijing.

    After Li Yuanyin left, Li Chengdong looked at his nephew and said, "Go to Yanjin, thirty miles away, to find some prostitutes. Remember to make them beautiful. I'll treat Donnie to dinner tomorrow night, and we'll do it then."

    Li Benzhen nodded, "Uncle, why don't you tell He Dacheng and Wang Zhigang about this? They have four to five thousand people in their hands!" Although Li Benzhen knew that it was a matter of life, the fewer people knew about it, the better, but He Dacheng and Wang Zhigang  Both of them have been trusted confidants for many years, so it would be a bad idea not to bring them along.

    "I will make my own arrangements then, go and do your work!" After Li Chengdong asked Li Benzhen to leave, he came to Zhao Yujiao's coffin and stroked Zhao Yujiao's cold face, "Yujiao, it's all my fault that I forgot your temper in the heat of the moment.  You will die in vain!"

    The two sides of the Yellow River seemed very calm without the mobilization of troops from both sides. There was no movement on the Nanming side this day, which gave the Qing army a good rest.

    When Donny heard that Li Chengdong wanted to invite him to dinner, he readily agreed. Now he has few capable generals around him. When it comes to war, Li Chengdong will be his indispensable help.  Doni came to Li Chengdong's mansion and saw that the dinner was very sumptuous. What surprised Doni most was that there was a woman accompanying him. You must know that women are not allowed in the military. Doni has been a monk for almost a month.  .

    Li Chengdong had adjusted his mentality at this time. If you didn't pay attention to his face, you wouldn't be able to see the hidden sadness. He called Donnie to sit down and said, "Your Majesty, you must be bored these days! Although these women are not very pretty, they are better than nothing.  !" Li Chengdong looked at the personal guards who came with Duny, "Come here, set up another banquet table in the side hall, Ben Shen, you go and accompany me."

    Li Benshen smiled and invited Doni's bodyguard to go to the side hall to have a drink. They were also accompanied by prostitutes. This made those Tatars who had not known the taste of meat for several months unable to close their mouths with joy, and they drank the wine desperately.  .

    The three women here in Li Chengdong are all pretty. He kept one for himself and asked the other two to accompany Duny. "Your Majesty, the general has seen through. If you have wine today, you will get drunk today. Before the war starts, let's  Have fun and be harmonious, otherwise you won¡¯t have this opportunity.¡±

    Doni sighed, "The general is right! Today Zhuo Butai sent someone to scold me again. He actually said that I mobilized troops too frequently. It's not like he didn't know the layout of the south bank. How could I not mobilize troops too frequently?  Well! He is deliberately looking for trouble!"

    "Your Majesty, don't think about those troublesome things, drink! Drink! Just stay here tonight! Let the two beauties accompany the Prince, and it's time for the Prince to relax." Li Chengdong sighed inwardly, he still learned this trick from Xu Ding's Chinese culture  Of!  His old boss Gao Jie was killed by Xu Dingguo in this way. He didn't expect that it would be his turn to act like this today.

    Doni was really upset. He had seen too many changes in power within the Qing Dynasty, and knew that there was no possibility of turning over in the future, so he happily numbed himself with wine and sex. After a short time, he was almost drunk, hugging two beauties.  Go and have a threesome.

    Li Chengdong asked the woman next to him to step back and went to the side hall to take a look. Good guy, his nephew was the only one left there drinking alone!  "Where are the others? Are they all in the back?"

    "Yes, we all hugged the women and went to be happy. What should we do next?" After Li Benzhen had almost finished drinking, twelve of Doni's soldiers all hugged the women and went to be happy.

    Li Chengdong let out a sigh of relief, "Go find He Dacheng and Wang Zhigang now, and tell them that I have something important to discuss with them."

    Li Benzhen hesitated slightly, "Uncle, is it too late to have a showdown with them now, in case!"

    ?"How can they make up their minds to follow us without killing Doni in front of them? It's not that my uncle can't trust them. They have been learning from Hu Maozhen in the past two years! They are very close to the people in the Eight Banners. Don't block their retreat.  If they die, they will definitely not follow us. As long as we let them watch Donnie being killed and become a tiger, then it will be out of their hands. At worst, we will kill them cruelly."

    He Dacheng and Wang Zhigang were called by Li Benzhen in the middle of the night. How could they know what Li Chengdong's uncle and nephew were going to do?  Seeing that the inner room of the mansion was full of table scraps, Zhang Erjingang was even more confused.

    The two of them saw Li Chengdong sitting on the chief throne and hurried over to greet him. He Dacheng cupped his hands and said, "General, the general asked us to come here late at night. We have something important to discuss."

    Li Chengdong looked at the two people without speaking for a long time, until he looked at the two people uneasily and then said: "Two generals, I wonder how Li treats you?"

    Wang Zhigang bent down and said, "What did the general say? If it hadn't been for the general's promotion, we wouldn't have known where we would have served as gang leaders!"

    "As long as you remember, I want to invite you two to do a deal today. I wonder if the two generals have the guts to partner up?" Li Chengdong said with his eyes, indicating to Li Benzhen that if He Dacheng and Wang Zhigang hesitated, then kill them.  , if your heart is not ruthless or dark at this time, you will be the one who suffers.

    How did He Dacheng and Wang Zhigang know what kind of business Li Chengdong was talking about? They thought they were tinkering with something, and they both agreed.

    "That's very good. The two generals are coming with me." Li Chengdong said, leading He Dacheng and Wang Zhigang to the inner house and into the room where Duny rested.

    "Donnie had a threesome with two beauties and had long since drained his energy and fell asleep. He Dacheng and Wang Zhigang didn't expect that Donnie would be here, so they couldn't help but look at each other.

    Li Chengdong reached out and pulled out the machete on the bedside. It was the same one that Zhao Yujiao used to kill himself. "Two generals, if this transaction is not done well today, not only will the family be ruined, but also the life and property will be lost!" said,  Li Chengdong raised his knife and chopped off the sleeping Duny's head. This was because Li Chengdong couldn't bear to let Duny die while he was awake. He just lost his head while sleeping like this. It was considered a blessing!  The two women were woken up by blood spurting, and before they could scream, they were killed by Li Chengdong one by one on the spot. They continued to go to the underworld with Donnie to have a threesome.

    He Dacheng and Wang Zhigang were both dumbfounded. They watched Li Chengdong kill Xinjun Wangdoni. This wasn't this a rebellion?  Li Chengdong held the knife in his hand and looked at the two of them, "The two generals guessed right. Li is going to rebel. I wonder if the two generals are willing to do this deal?"

    He Dacheng swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, "General, you have done this, how can brothers not follow the general! But if we rebel, there will be no place for us!" He Dacheng and  Wang Zhigang immediately understood Li Chengdong's intention. How could he discuss this with the two of them?  It was obviously forcing them to rebel!  I saw with my own eyes that Li Chengdong killed Donnie. If he didn't follow the rebellion, even if Li Chengdong let them go, Zhuo Butai would have to chop them into pieces!
