Chapter 119 Betrayal
After listening to Fang Zhenghua's complaint, Liu Zeqing also sighed for a long time, and pretended to accompany Fang Zhenghua to cry once. Then he remembered to ask Prince Fang Zhenghua and the two princes where they were now.
Fang Zhenghua wiped his tears and sighed and replied, "Alas! Before I came just now, Fang didn't know how Liu Junmen would treat me! Therefore, Fang took care and left the prince and the two little princes in the ruined temple outside the city. He went to the city to see the military gate first. Now the prince and the two little princes are still hungry in the ruined temple outside the city! You'd better send someone to accompany me to take them into the city!"
Liu Zeqing nodded repeatedly and said yes. He immediately ordered the house in person, protected Fang Zhenghua out of Dengzhou City, and saw Zhu Cilang and three other princes in a broken temple in the west of the city.
Looking at these three princes at this moment, even Liu Zeqing feels that his nose is a little sore. These three high princes don't look like princes at this moment! The whole has become three little beggars, and the hungry ones are also yellow and thin, and their eyes are big and godless.
When they saw Fang Zhenghua come back, the three princes immediately cried and rushed into Fang Zhenghua's arms. Fang Zhenghua quickly asked people to put the prepared food boxes in front of them. The three princes immediately competed with me and ate them. If it hadn't been for Fang Zhenghua, the three princes might have been afraid of spoiling them. The food box dares to be swallowed!
Liu Zeqing came forward and met the prince Zhu Cilang with the courtesy of his ministers. Now that Chongzhen is dead, it can be said that Zhu Cilang has become the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty. However, at this time, Zhu Zilang is too miserable. He is dressed like a begler. Before his great ancestor Zhu Chongba became the emperor, he was also called a begler. Now that his great-grandson has come to such an end, this is probably an alternative return to the original!
After Liu Zeqing made the three princes change their clothes, he brought the three princes into Dengzhou City, specially set up a courtyard, and temporarily placed Founder and the three princes in Dengzhou City.
It was not until this time that Fang Zhenghua and the three princes breathed a long sigh of relief. After being placed, they immediately snore and fell asleep.
But they could sleep, but Liu Zeqing couldn't sleep, because on the first night before Fang Zhenghua rushed to Dengzhou, Liu Zeqing had received an envoy of the Dazhong Dynasty in advance.
After the capital was conquered by Xiao Tianjian, the army of Jiannu was repulsed in Shanhaiguan. The situation in the north has been basically settled. The prefectures and counties around the capital have been surrendered. Almost all the officers and soldiers put down their weapons on the spot and began to accept the reorganization of the Dazhong Army. Therefore, under the will of Xiao Tianjian, a large number of them were defeated by Li Xin. When the envoys of the Dazhong Army selected by the General Staff, they set out from Beijing and were sent to all parts of Shandong to persuade the local officers and soldiers and government officials who had not yet surrendered in Shandong to surrender. Liu Zeqing, as the last and largest army force in Shandong, was naturally the focus of the staff.
In addition, before Xiao Tianjian occupied Beijing, many old ministers of the Ming Dynasty advised Chongzhen to abandon the capital to flee south from Dengzhou by boat. Therefore, when the capital was slightly stabilized, Liu Zeqing was targeted by the staff. At present, the only place in Shandong that still has an officer navy warship is Dengzhou, and according to Dengzhou. The large and medium-sized army gave detailed feedback. During this period, Liu Zeqing searched for ships along the coast and put them in the care of Dengzhou. This is not good news for the large and medium-sized army.
Although in terms of Liu Zeqing's strength and the combat effectiveness of his soldiers and horses, it is not difficult for the Dazhong army to deal with them. They don't need too many soldiers and horses. They only need to send 10,000 elite soldiers to easily defeat Liu Zeqing's soldiers and horses, but now they are facing a very The important problem is that there is news that Prince Zhu Cixuan, the three princes of Chongzhen, King Ding and King Yong, should be going to the area of Dengzhou under the protection of the great eunuch Fang Zhenghua. No one knows whether they have arrived in Dengzhou or Laizhou Prefecture.
Therefore, considering that once the pressure is too tight, once Fang Zhenghua is allowed to protect the Ming prince Zhu Cilang and run to Dengzhou, it may force Liu Zeqing to take them by sea boat and go south to the south, so Li Xin advocated that it is better to persuade Liu Zeqing to surrender, rather than send troops to defeat Liu Zeqing, so Xiao Tianjian agreed to Li Xin's plan was to send people to closely investigate and arrest the three Ming princes on the front line of the canal, while arranging the envoys to rush to Dengzhou to meet Liu Zeqing directly, and advised Liu Zeqing to put down his fantasy and immediately surrender to the Great China.
Unfortunately, it was a little late for Fang Zhenghua to go to Dengzhou. Just before he finally ran to Dengzhou with his three princes, an envoy of the Dazhong Dynasty had already been one step ahead of him and met Liu Zeqing in Dengzhou.
After arranging Fang Zhenghua and the three princes, Liu Zeqing sat in his house and frowned. On the one hand, there was a threat from the Dazhong Dynasty. On the other hand, he was the orphan of Emperor Chongzhen. Although Liu Zeqing was not a loyal minister, at least he had been eating Daming's salary for so many years, and he still had "heavy soldiers" on hand. He It is very clear that after surrendering to the Dazhong Dynasty, although this life may be saved, with his ability, it is impossible to be reused in the Dazhong Dynasty. Unlike Wu Xiang, Wu Xiang at least led the army in Shanhaiguan to cooperate with the Dazhong army and Jiannu to fight with Jiannu for two months, helping the Dazhong army defend Shanhaiguan, so Xiao Tianjian, the emperor of Dazhong, will not treat him badly. Yu Wuxiang, but he will not be polite to him. As long as he surrenders, he definitely doesn't have to think about the military power. At most, he will find a place to nest honestly for the rest of his life. Eating around and waiting for death is his result.
But now the three princes have come to him. This seems to be a good card. He knows the value of Prince Zhu Cixuan. As long as he protects Zhu Cixuan and the two princes to escape to the south, if there is no accident, he will definitely be reused. But on the other hand, if he can't take many soldiers, even if he can protect Zhu Cixuan ran to Fujian. If he couldn't do it well, he would just cook a good pot of rice for Zheng Zhilong. In the case of no soldiers and no generals, even if he arrived in Fujian, he might be empty.
The most critical thing is not this. Judging from the performance of the Dazhong army now, even Jiannu is not their opponent. So can the southern provinces resist the front of the Dazhong army?
Liu Zeqing is not a complete fool. On the contrary, he has not been eaten by the Dazhong army until now, which shows that Liu Zeqing is a smart man. He can still see the general trend of the world clearly. After Xiao Tianjian's Dazhong Dynasty solved the north, no one can control him in the future, although Shaanxi in the west is still There is a Li Zicheng who is tossing, but with Li Zicheng's ability, he can't be the opponent of the Dazhong army at all. As for the south, there is no general at all except Zheng Zhilong's strength. With the Ming army in the south, if they want to resist the next step of the Dazhong army, they will be recovered by the Dazhong Dynasty, which is just too late. Early questions.
Even if he can escort Zhu Cixuan to Fujian and Guangxi and be re-established by the old ministers of the Ming Dynasty into an emperor of a small court, it is estimated that it will not be a big deal. In fact, the Ming Dynasty has announced the fall of the Ming Dynasty at the moment when Beijing was captured by the Dazhong Dynasty. Although Liu Zeqing thought about occupying it. The earth is the king, but as long as there is a large and medium army, he will not have this possibility. Even in terms of building slaves, which he began to be more optimistic about, it is impossible to count on now.
Thinking of this, Liu Zeqing gritted his teeth, immediately recruited his family into the room, closed the door and began to tell them.
In the middle of the night, under the leadership of Liu Zeqing, a group of soldiers and horses suddenly surrounded the place where Fang Zhenghua and the three princes lived.
Fang Zhenghua was already tired and exhausted on the way. After being entertained by Liu Zeqing in Dengzhou, Fang Zhenghua was also somewhat relieved. Thinking that Liu Zeqing promised him at dinner, he would prepare a ship tomorrow and escort them to board the ship and go south on the sea. As soon as Fang Zhenghua arrived in the post hall, he immediately fell down. Go to sleep.
However, he didn't think that he was sleeping sweetly in the middle of the night. Suddenly, he felt that the door had been pushed open, so he sat up excitedly. At this time, someone picked up a lantern and walked into his room. Fang Zhenghua fixed his eyes. It was Fang Zhenghua who was still polite to him during the day, but now he saw Fang Zhenghua's cold face. He walked into his room neatly.
So Fang Zhenghua's heart thumped, and a strong ominous premonition enveloped his heart, so he immediately asked Liu Zeqing, "Why did Liu Junmen break into my father-in-law's residence so late?" But what's the matter?"
Liu Zeqing sneered and said, "Esir Fang, please! It's important - maybe it's just right! I just want to inform my father-in-law. Tonight, I have made up my mind to surrender to Dazhong Dynasty from now on!"
Fang Zhenghua listened and almost vomited blood. He immediately jumped out of bed with a cracked finger. He rushed to Liu Zeqing and scolded, "Liu Zeqing! You scumbag! The Holy Lord is with you, but you have to betray the Lord for glory! Today, my father-in-law fought with you..."
Poor Fang Zhenghua is unarmed at this time. Although he has some kung fu, he is not the opponent of Liu Zeqing's tiger and wolf-like family!
Seeing that Fang Zhenghua was violent and wanted to fight with him, Liu Zeqing sneered and waved his hand and said, "Kill!"
Several families immediately drew knives to meet Fang Zhenghua. Two sharp single knives pierced into Fang Zhenghua's chest and abdomen almost at the same time. Fang Zhenghua's eyes were congested and immediately stayed on the spot, staring at Liu Zeqing's face, who was still sneering not far away, and suddenly "Puff!" With a sound, he spewed out a mouthful of blood and spit on Liu Zeqing's face. Before he died, he scolded, "Rebellious thieves, you don't want to die... Your Majesty, I'm sorry for you..."
As the Jiading withdrew his hand and drew the knife, Fang Zhenghua's body suddenly fell to Liu Zeqing's feet with a plop, and a large pool of blood immediately slowly spread from under Fang Zhenghua's body.
Liu Zeqing didn't expect that such an eunuch as Fang Zhenghua was still so strong. When he was dying, he would suddenly spray him with blood. As a result, he was sprayed on his face. After the corners of his eyes twitched a few times, he immediately took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood stains on his face. He looked down at the dead Fang Zhenghua. After a sip, he took a heavy He threw the blood-stained handkerchief on Fang Zhenghua's body and shouted, "Drag this castor out and chop it up for the dog!" ......”
