Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 139

A few days later, Lu Jiude received Zhu Yousong's personal imperial approval, and immediately called Henan Governor Chen Qianfu and Chief Military Officer Yuan Shu, and the three discussed countermeasures in secret.

The three thought that the emperor would definitely let them send troops to suppress the thieves, and accompanied Huang Degong to wipe out Liu Liangzuo's troops.

Unexpectedly, it was a plan to lure the thieves to the south.Oh, this place is relatively close to the Tartar camp, His Majesty is probably afraid that they would run away.Although this plan is clever, it is very difficult, because Liu Liangzuo's letter of defection to the enemy was written directly to his younger brother Liu Liangchen, but for such a big matter, a general of the general army will definitely not be able to make the decision, and he has to ask the higher levels for instructions. In the end, at least Prince Yu Duoduo himself nodded or shook his head to reach a conclusion.

This required forging a forged book, and then sending the forged book to Liu Liangzuo, so that no mistakes could be made to achieve the goal.

Fortunately, Lu Jiude is proficient in military tactics. When Chongzhen was in power, he supervised the deployment of troops and horses to conquer the east and west. He made great achievements in the war. Huang Degong and Gao Jie and his like were once his generals. Without two brushes, it is difficult to control these illegal forces. General, not to mention winning battles and making meritorious service.

In addition, Chen Qianfu and Yuan Shu are not ordinary people. Chen Qianfu is one of the famous officials in the late Ming Dynasty. During the Chongzhen period, Juren had several ups and downs. He was loyal to the Ming Dynasty. In history, he served Chongzhen, Hongguang and King Lu, and served as a supervisor. The imperial envoy, the military supervisor, and the Shaoqing of the Taipusi died in the country with their wives and concubines.

Yuan Shu in history is not simple, as his father, Minister of the Ministry of War, Yuan Keli, a doctor of the Ministry of Official Households, went to the Chief Secretary of Henan Province to participate in politics on the right, and to patrol the road in Daliang.

Yuan Shu was erudite, capable of poetry and painting, and was hailed as a calligrapher and painter of the Ming Dynasty by later generations. Qian Qianyi once praised him as "a master of literature and military, liberal and elegant, good at ancient times, capable of embellishment, and can be a doctor".There is "Yuan Boying Poetry Collection" left in later generations.

According to historical records, Yuan Shu was handsome and handsome.Good at riding and shooting, with edge talent.In the Yihai year of Chongzhen, Yuan Shu kept filial piety for his father at his home in Suizhou. When refugees attacked the city, Suiyang Wei was defeated by a single blow.Yuan Shu broke his family and scattered two thousand gold to raise funds to fight the enemy bravely. He climbed the ranks and advocated to defend first. He fought hard for seven days and nights until his eyes got sores, and Suizhou City was preserved.In the 11th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army aggressively invaded the Ming Dynasty, and many Ming generals flinched. Yuan Shu did not avoid death.Qing soldiers crossed the river and fell into Jinling. Yuan Shu died of grief and anger on a hunger strike for several days.

It can be seen from this that Yuan Shu is an all-rounder in civil and military affairs, and he is a loyal minister of Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yousong also took a fancy to this because he was so important to him.

Three cobblers are worth one Zhuge Liang, let alone such three talented people, if they can't even do this, then Zhu Yousong will value them in vain.

According to the emperor's edict, the three of them quickly found a countermeasure, which was to work hard on the people around Pang Ji.

Therefore, several of Pang Ji's followers were arrested together with Pang Ji this time. These followers were the elite dispatched by Liu Liangzuo. They also helped him complete this important task by protecting Pang Ji on the road. Liu Liangzuo did it out of safety considerations. I am afraid that Pang Ji alone can handle such an important matter.

When life is threatened, not everyone can bear it in the face of coercion and temptation.Among the few people like Pang Ji, some people chose to surrender and save their lives. One of them was a general of Liu Liangzuo. It is clear that after Liu Liangchen surrendered to the Tartars, he acted as a messenger for many correspondence.

After figuring this out, Lu Jiude and others, with the assistance of Liu Tong, quickly made a fake book, and asked Liu Tong to replace Pang Ji to go back and deliver the fake book to Liu Liangzuo. After discussing with Yuan Shu, Chen Qianfu and Yuan Shu, they sent people to lure his family to the army and take them as hostages, and then set a bitter plan.

Liu Tong had originally surrendered sincerely, and now he didn't dare to half-heartedly.

Before leaving, Liu Tong gritted his teeth and had someone shoot an arrow in his leg, limped himself a little, and brought the false letter to see Liu Liangzuo.

Liu Liangzuo was shocked when he saw this, he was afraid that something might happen in the middle, and something happened anyway, so he sent out several capable people, but now only the bloody one came back, so he hurriedly asked for details.

Liu Tong calmed down, and brought out the lie that had been edited thousands of times in advance. He said it went smoothly, and the second master was very happy. Yuqin Duoduo also appreciated the uncle's knowledge of current affairs, and wrote a letter of his own. , but when he made a mistake on the way back, he was targeted by Yuan Shu's men, and in a fight, Pang Ji and others were punished, and he was the only one who escaped by luck, and he gave the false letter to Liu Liangzuo with tears in his eyes.

I am the enemy, and I am the enemy. This kind of thing has always been difficult to distinguish between true and false. In addition, Lu Jiude, Chen Qianfu and Yuan Shu's level of fraud is not generally high, and Liu Tong's acting is also similar, Liu Liangzuo He didn't have piercing eyes, but Liu Liangzuo was eager to show his sincerity. The letter he brought back to the Tartars was the most important thing. As for his 10 horses, it didn't matter how many people died, so Liu Liangzuo didn't doubt it at all.

Excited to read this fake book several times, when Liu Liangzuo understood the letter, the Qing Tartars not only praised him for his understanding of current affairs, but also instructed him to make meritorious deeds and lead the army to advance to the capital. The Zu Dashou Department led the army as a backup to relieve his worries. After the Nanming puppet emperor was killed, their Liu brothers would all be dukes and earls of the Qing Dynasty.

Liu Liangzuo was a little carried away. Although he took the lives of his right-hand assistant General Pang Ji and others, he finally succeeded in contacting the Tatars. Indispensable, and more importantly, the immediate situation is resolved, and there is no need to worry about the faint king meeting his opponent.

Because he immediately beat the drums to gather the generals, soon the meeting hall of his Bohou Mansion was filled with generals of all levels, and there were no less than a hundred people crowded together. Training.

There are 8000 soldiers in Shouzhou, which is undoubtedly his main force. In addition, there are [-] troops stationed in Linhuai, Chenqi and other places. Together, the total strength is [-], which is called a [-] army. This is Liu Liangzuo All the capital of arrogance and domineering.

Liu Liangzuo carried out the mobilization before the war with great enthusiasm, nothing more than talking about how the imperial court was stupid and killed innocent people indiscriminately.The only way to survive is to surrender to the Tartars. Fortunately, the Tartars have opened the door to them. Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Don’t miss this opportunity. You should build military achievements with the help of the Tartars, and follow the Tartars to eat and drink spicy food, etc. , All these kinds of remarks are used to incite his subordinates to rebel with him.

These generals heard that they were going to turn against each other, turned against the imperial court, and became a family with the Qing Tartars. Now they are going to send troops south to conquer the false emperor. They are very surprised. This is too sudden, but they are all Liu Liangzuo's subordinates and Most of them are confidantes, and the uncle can listen to what he says. When he learned that there are Qing Tartars as backup, they all felt like a tiger with wings added.
