Zhao Zhilong's entrustment of Zuo Maodi to help him hand over the fold was also thoughtful, because his Nanjing garrison was very empty. He was parachuted into Beijing, and he was not familiar with life here in Nanjing, and he did not have much time in office, nor did he bring many cronies to take office. Therefore, it is impossible to control the Nanjing Jingying Army, and it is even possible to be under the supervision of Nanjing Xungui.

Therefore, he didn't dare to let the people in Nanjing Jingying submit the secret book to him, and he didn't even dare to send his own family members to go - he was too timid, in fact, how could the nobles in Nanjing be so meticulous?

And Zhao Zhilong didn't know what to think, he actually thought that Zuo Maodi was reliable - Zuo Maodi did not express his position on the issue of the prince's return to power, and he did not participate in Shi Kefa and Gao Hongtu's King Qin. He is the imperial history of patrolling the river and the water manager, what are you doing in the north?

In addition, Zuo Maodi is a native of Laizhou, Shandong. Laiyang Zuojia is a famous family in Laizhou and owns a large amount of land. However, Zhu Cihong adopted the policy of "redirecting and returning to the land" in Denglai Second Prefecture, which was tantamount to turning Laiyang County into a de facto "fiefdom" of the Zuo family. Therefore, Zhu Cihong's "land policy" did not harm the interests of the Zuo family in Laiyang, but allowed the Zuo family to benefit.

Moreover, Zhao Zhilong also believed that Zhu Cihong would settle the southeast nobles who were looking for trouble as soon as possible and grasp the power of the southeast, which would inevitably be beneficial to the overall situation of Shandong's resistance to the captives. As a large landowner in Shandong, Zuo Maodi must have supported Zhu Cihong......

Therefore, it will definitely not be wrong to send a recital to Zhu Cihong through Zuo Maodi to show his heart.

In this way, he can go from being a thief to a loyal servant who has broken into the thief!

However, he never thought that although Zuo Maodi, a righteous gentleman, would not get involved in the mud pit of "King Qin", he still sympathized with "King Qin's loyal ministers". Confucianism emphasizes filial piety the most, and what Zhu Cihong does is a rebel!

Zhao Zhilong wants to betray the "loyal minister of King Qin" to the disobedient and unfilial prince, and he is a cunning villain. Zuo Mao, the first upright gentleman, Donglin's successor, how could he pass on the secret fold of betraying his loyal ministers to Zhao Xiaoren?

Isn't this an accomplice of the villain? This is not the work of a righteous gentleman!

Therefore, the righteous gentleman Zuo Maodi received Zhao Zhilong's secret fold in Nanjing, and then threw it into the Yangtze River......

......

"Zuo Qing, Lingtang's loyalty, this palace admires it very much...... Well, although her old man was martyred after Li Zicheng was defeated in Beijing, she is still my Ming Dynasty's martyr's daughter! ”

Zuo Maodi listened to Zhu Cihong's words, and always felt twisted! His mother is clearly a chaste martyr who sacrificed for the country, and as soon as Prince Zhu said it, why did she become a martyr for Li Zicheng......

Zhu Cihong frowned when he spoke, he actually disapproved of Chen's practice of starving herself to death - what harm could an old Han lady do to the Qing Dynasty by starving herself to death? It's better to eat and drink in Zuo Maotai's traitor's house! Eating a dog traitor into poverty can also weaken the strength of the Qing Dynasty a little, right?

And this Zuo Maodi also died in history "in vain", as if he was sent by the Southern Ming Dynasty to envoy the Qing Dynasty, so that Dolgon was caught and forced to surrender, and finally died without surrendering, and gave his life...... Although Zomodi did not surrender, Dorgon actually achieved his goal!

Dolgon didn't really value Zuo Maodi, and without his help, the Qing Kingdom would still dominate the world! Dolgon did this to show his heart to all the aspiring traitors of the world—he was desperate for you to come and take refuge! Even if he is as rigid as Zuo Maodi, as long as he is willing to surrender, he will still have an official to do. And confronting the Great Qing Kingdom to the end is only a dead end......

Therefore, Zhu Cihong would never send someone like Zuo Maodi to the Qing Dynasty!

But Zuo Maodi can still be reused, just by virtue of the inherited hardness of his character, he can work with Tartar in Shandong to the end!

Zhu Cihong continued: "In fact, Lingtang's death was not because of the exiles entering Beijing, but because of the Tatars entering Beijing!" Therefore, Lingtang is the world of the Han martyrs, and the Tartar is your mother-killing enemy!

The revenge of killing the mother is not shared! Zuo Maodi, do you want revenge? ”

Yes! This is the revenge of killing the mother? Zuo Maodi said in his heart: My mother committed suicide, not to let the Tartars kill her, this can't be nonsense......

Zhu Cihong saw that Zuo Maodi was silent, and his brows furrowed: "Do you want to take revenge?" Are you a filial son? ”

"I want to take revenge!" Zuo Maodi hurriedly said, "But the minister has to go back to his hometown first...... You can't lead the Northern Expedition! ”

Who wants you to lead the Northern Expedition? Zhu Cihong said in his heart: If you are to lead the Northern Expedition, the life of this palace will be difficult to protect!

"Of course this palace knows that Zuo Qing is a filial son," Zhu Cihong said, "This palace will not let Zuo Qing recover his love." But Zuo Qing is from Shandong! Tartar will soon go south to Shandong to dig the ancestral grave of the Confucian saint, maybe he will go to Laiyang to dig your family's ancestral grave, you are a filial son, and a Confucian student, do you have to stand idly by? ”

What? The Tartars are still going to dig up my family's ancestral grave? Zuo Maodi was a little nervous, most of Confucius's tomb had nothing of value. But there are still some funeral goods in the ancestral tomb of the Zuo family in Laiyang! Maybe the tartars were really gouged...... The ancestral grave is going to be dug up, how can he be a filial son?

Besides, even if the Tartars don't dig the grave, they can't let them occupy Laiyang! Because Laiyang is now surnamed Zuo......

Zhu Cihong said: "The palace has been arranged in Shandong, especially in the second mansion of Denglai to rectify the guards, set up group exercises, and repair the city...... At present, the defense of the two provinces of Denglai has improved greatly. However, the regimental training in other parts of Shandong is still unsatisfactory, so the palace wants you to take over the errand of the minister of Shandong regimental training while Ding is worried, and while Ding is worried, he leads the Shandong gentry to run a regimental training, resist the Tartars, and protect the ancestral tomb.

Zuo Qing, are you willing to go to Shandong to take over this mission? ”

Shandong already has two governors, two governors, a vassal king, a Yan Shenggong, and a number of general soldiers, and now there is another regimental training minister, which is really lively.

However, Zhu Cihong sent Zuo Maodi to Shandong to preside over the group training, which was also weighed repeatedly.

Because it is impossible to hold most of Shandong under the onslaught of the Qing army - Zhu Cihong will not be stupid enough to fight the main decisive battle with the Qing army in Zuo Shandong. Therefore, except for Dengzhou, which must be defended, Shandong can give up everywhere else.

However, Shandong's "struggle against the Qing Dynasty behind enemy lines" must be persisted in for a long time!

Under such circumstances, there was no need for unified command on the battlefield in Shandong, and arranging a few more sets of leading groups that could command the Shandong gentry would be very beneficial to the Shandong people's struggle against the Qing Dynasty.

Su Guansheng, Shen Tingyang and Li Ruolian, who are now arranged by Zhu Cihong in Dengzhou, have a very low appeal to the Shandong gentry. So they just watched Dengzhou and kept the pawns of the Ming Dynasty's presence in Shandong and the Beiyang coast.

And Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, Zhu Yihai and Zuo Maodi are the people who can really lead the overall situation of Shandong's resistance to the Qing Dynasty.

As for who among them can stand out and who will be killed by the Tartars soon, Zhu Cihong doesn't know. He just used the method of diversification and invested in a few more companies.

......

After Zuo Maodi left Pingshan Hall, Zhu Chunjie, the commander of Jinyiwei, came together with Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Both of them came for the Qing Dynasty legation that had already arrived in Jinan. The diplomacy of the Ming Dynasty was tributary diplomacy, which was handled by the Host and Guest Division under the Ministry of Rites. Although the Qing Dynasty was not a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty did not have a foreign ministry, Qian Qianyi still had to be responsible for receiving the Ministry of Rites of Shangshu.

And Jinyiwei's Beizhen Fusi has become a yamen for spying on foreign intelligence, so it must participate in diplomacy with the Qing Dynasty.

"Hold up the Qing Mission!" Zhu Cihong has already made a decision, and the two traitors Sun Zhiqi and Jin Zhijun are of great use!

He added: "Send reliable and competent people to do it, and escort them to Yangzhou...... Handed over to the Huaiyang Institute of the Southern Division to be closely guarded! ”

"Master Chitose, after all, they are envoys......," Qian Qianyi reminded in a low voice, "I am a state of etiquette!" ”

"Hongu knows!" Zhu Cihong smiled, "The two countries are fighting each other, don't kill them!" Hongu didn't want to kill them...... They are of great use! ”
