Chapter 424: Dead Horses as Live Horse Doctors

This scene made Wu Zheng speechless, and secretly said in his heart, I'm really a stupid X, what are you sending him to do?

Sure enough, Zhu Yujian was long-faced, and even Huang Daozhou nodded slightly.

Huang Daozhou asked: "Li Chengdong, Your Majesty wants to ask how the deployment of the Qing army in Fujian is, how many troops are there, where are they deployed, and who is in command?" ”

Li Chengdong suddenly came to his senses, so he poured beans into the bamboo tube, and he made all his moves.

In fact, as Wu Zheng said, the Qing army in Fujian had reached 160,000 people.

Even Li Chengdong's department, there are more than 30,000 troops deployed around Fuzhou, and Duoduo, Bolo, Lekedehun and other departments have a total of 120,000 people.

Wu Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking, now you know, right? With the current six or seven thousand people in our army, how can it be possible to hold Fuzhou?

didn't want to, but Li Chengdong was beating a snake and sticking, and he keenly felt that falling into the hands of Wu Zheng was a dead end. Wu Zheng looked at his hateful eyes, which made Li Chengdong very clear in his heart, this is called not sharing the sky.

Therefore, Li Chengdong decided to hold on to Zhu Yujian's "thick legs" and not let go even if he was killed.

"Your Majesty, there are still more than 30,000 troops under the command of the guilty ministers, as long as Your Majesty allows the ministers to return to the Ming Dynasty, the ministers will order these troops to put things in order and return to Fuzhou to be loyal to Your Majesty to resist the Qing army."

Zhu Yujian's face was happy, and even Zodiac Zhou was moved.

If there are really more than 30,000 troops anyway, then as long as Fuzhou is held for half a month, the rebel armies in Fujian and the surrounding areas will rise up one after another to respond.

Victory or defeat is really unknown.

Wu Zheng saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty must not believe this nonsense, let's not say how credible his allegiance is, just say that how much of the Qing army under his command is transferable by him?" As far as the foreign ministers know, most of the troops under the command of Li Thief are the Eight Banners of the Qing Court, and the Han people are no more than 10,000 people. ”

This is indeed reasonable, and now there are many Ming people who have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and I have really never heard of the Qing army's surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yujian and Huang Daozhou were persuaded and glared at Li Chengdong together.

Li Chengdong was soaked in cold sweat, although he did not have any loyalty to the Qing court, but he had no loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, all the way south, how many Ming people, Ming ministers and Ming generals he killed, he himself couldn't remember, how could he really surrender to the Ming Dynasty?

He just wants to try his best to escape from Wu Zheng's "clutches", as long as he returns to Fuzhou, then he may be able to escape if he colludes with each other.

He is a battle-hardened general, and he knows very well in his heart that the situation in Fujian has been decided, and the Longwu Dynasty has no chance of turning the tables at all.

But now that Wu Zheng said a word, Li Chengdong knows that the time for life and death has come.

"Your Majesty, the heart of the guilty minister to surrender to the Ming Dynasty can only be expressed by heaven, although this little general is ......."

Huang Daozhou said sharply: "Presumptuous, this is the prince of Qingtai Dynasty." ”

Li Chengdong was stunned, such a young Guogong?

Could it be that there is no one in the Qingtai Dynasty?

Although he thought so in his heart, he was very respectful, and said to the head of Wu Zhengji: "Li has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, but he doesn't know that Zhenguo Gong is in person. ”

Wu Zheng looked at him coldly, and he didn't even bother to hum.

Li Chengdong straightened up in embarrassment, and could only continue: "The Zhenguo Gong just said that the ministers are all Manchu Eight Banner Army, this is not the truth, the more than 30,000 people that the minister said are the descendants that the minister has been carrying in the south, and some of them are the Ming army. The real Manchu Eight Banners, only 10,000 people, have been killed in the previous battle, and most of them have been killed, and the rest should also be ...... Captured by the Duke of Zhenguo. ”

Wu Zheng spoke at this time, "This duke never takes in Tartar captives. ”

Li Chengdong was shocked, before he was stunned, the Qing army on both wings had not been damaged, it was 4,000 people.

Looking at Wu Zheng's calm face, Li Chengdong was indeed a little afraid of Wu Zheng's ruthlessness.

"Yes, yes. Tartar damn it! Li Chengdong replied in a harmonious voice, "Your Majesty, what the minister said is true." ”

Li Chengdong's explanation greatly alleviated the suspicions of Zhu Yujian and Huang Daozhou.

Wu Zheng also believed a little in his heart, the number of the Manchu Eight Banners was not so much, and if he really wanted to gather nearly 200,000 Eight Banners in Fujian, then there would be no Eight Banners Army in the north and northwest directions.

Li Chengdong's words at this time should be credible, because judging from the fact that he cleaned the battlefield and was killed on the spot, his face was indeed a Tartar.

And Zhu Yujian and Huang Daozhou exchanged eyes, and Huang Daozhou walked to Wu Zheng's side and said softly: "Zhen Guogong, please take a step to speak." ”

Wu Zheng and Huang Daozhou walked a few steps away, and Huang Daozhou said: "Zhenguo Gong, the current state affairs are difficult, and it is good to have more help, I don't know what to do with Zhenguo Gonggong?" ”

Wu Zheng replied coldly: "Do you believe him? Do you know that he is the first evil of the three slaughters in Jiading? ”

Huang Daozhou said: "Wu Zheng, this is not a matter of believing it or not, but the entire territory of Fujian has fallen, if I don't take advantage of this to fight back, how can Your Majesty stand up?" ”

Wu Zheng hesitated, Huang Daozhou's words are also true, the Zheng brothers descended to the Qing Dynasty, Fujian has actually fallen into the hands of the Qing army, if Fuzhou is not recovered, then Zhu Yujian can only go to the sea to organize the government-in-exile.

At this time, Huang Daozhou lamented: "Zhenguo Gong may not know yet, Your Majesty said that more than a month ago, Qu Shiyun, Ding Kuichu and others had already established King Yongming (Zhu Youlang) in Zhaoqing to supervise the country. ”

Wu Zheng was stunned, God knows, half of the country, after having an emperor and a prison country, there was actually another prison country.

He knew that Yongli would definitely be the emperor, so there would be two emperors and one prison country, and Wu Zheng regretted saving Zhu Yujian a little.

After thinking about it, Wu Zheng asked, "According to Lord Huang's meaning, what should I do?" ”

Huang Daozhou saw that Wu Zheng had signs of relenting, and hurriedly said: "Borrow the military strength of Zhenguo Gong, obtain 30,000 people under Li Chengdong's department, and stick to Fuzhou to wait for reinforcements, as long as it takes half a month, there will definitely be a righteous army to come to King Qin." ”

Wu Zheng said helplessly: "Do you really believe that Li Chengdong can transfer military power to you so easily?" Besides, even if he can give the military power, is there still a general in Fuzhou City? You don't want to put the army under the command of Li Chengdong, do you? ”

Wu Zheng was taken aback by his words, isn't this a joke?

finally rescued Zhu Yujian, don't want to, they actually took the initiative to enter the wolf's den?

If Li Chengdong is allowed to continue to command, it will be equivalent to a sheep in the mouth of the tiger, and when Li Chengdong gives an order, where will Zhu Yujian flee?

But Wu Zheng saw Huang Daozhou looking at him directly, and his heart sank, "Lord Huang doesn't want me to ...... Uh, take command of this army, right? ”

Huang Daozhou sighed: "Although this matter is embarrassing to Zhen Guogong, it is a matter of Guoqi, and I also ask Zhen Guogong to make it difficult for the sake of the Ming family." ”

Wu Zheng refused repeatedly: "No, I can't agree, Lord Huang also knows that I have made a decision, and I have to deal with the military and political affairs of Hangzhou and other governments...... If I stay in Fujian, I'm afraid it won't be appropriate. Besides, Lord Huang also knows that Duoduo, Bolo and others have seen me, and if this happens, a war will break out between the Qingtai Dynasty and the Qing court, and our dynasty is not ready for a decisive battle with the enemy. ”
