At 8 o'clock in the evening, a group of people came to the city of Qianhusuo, Daling River, on the banks of Daling River in heavy rain. It was said that it was a city, but it was actually a small fortress. The so-called Qianhu City, in fact, except for a circle of rammed earth walls, in the small town that was only about a small length and width, the street was opposite to four gates. There was only a few rows of rammed earth on both sides of the cross-shaped street. There was a small site in the middle, which was now covered with weeds. Apart from that, there was no one else. This was the former site of Qianhusuo City of Daling River.

Although Dalinghe City was destroyed many times by the Qing soldiers and the city site was abandoned later, the original wall foundation was still there. After entering the city, Zhu Mingzhong and his party came to the only house in the city. It was said that it was a house, but in fact it was just a roof. Even this roof was a grass roof that was just built a few days ago. However, even so, such conditions were already very rare. Other officers and soldiers could only set up tents on the spot, and those straw sheds could only be entitled for horses. Compared with people, horses were more delicate.

"This is Dalinghe City!"

After taking off his raincoat, Zhu Mingzhong looked at the abandoned city through the rain curtain, and then said.

"The Battle of Daling River in the fourth year of Chongzhen is about this place."

"The king, it's exactly here."

Although it was a abandoned city, because a squadron had been stationed here before, after half a month of renovation, a straw shed had been built along the rammed earth wall, and the old house was slightly repaired. Although the conditions could not meet the inn, Fang Yizhi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he made arrangements in advance outside the inn at that time.

"On August 6, the fourth year of Chongzhen, the captive chief Huang Taiji led his troops to siege the city. After siege, tens of thousands of our Ming officers and soldiers fought bloody battles with the Qing army..."

"But in the end, it was his Zu Dashou who surrendered to the captives!"

When he was in the room, Zhu Mingzhong's mind saw the tragic situation of the Battle of Daling River that year.

"A businessman named Zhang Yifu escaped from the city. He said: In the city, he killed war horses first, and ate horse meat. He almost killed all the horses, and started eating people. Of course, he first ate the unarmed civilians in the city and the starving soldiers. Only a few officials still had one or two liters of rice. It is recorded that in the city, there are "the bones of cooking are broken down and bones are not known in ancient times." That is, human bones are used as firewood to cut off human flesh and roast them. The whole city is full of remains of human flesh, and human flesh is burned everywhere. At this time, the Daling River has become a gloomy underworld in broad daylight..."

When he said this, Zhu Mingzhong, who had no reason, felt that a gust of wind seemed to be coming. He just looked at the heavy rain outside the door and continued to say.

"The Qing soldiers besieged Daling River for nearly three months, and the Ming army starved to death and did not surrender. They swear to be loyal to the court. The 20,000 people even wrapped themselves in their belly. In the end, although they surrendered, if they had to save the military and civilians in the city, if they had surrendered to the surrender after the surrender, they would have become famous for their heroes. However, this generation was a certain person who was a member of the Ke Zu Dashou and others who surrendered were willing to be driven by foreign races. Even if they surrendered on the excuse of surrendering, how could they cover up the fact that they were willing to be driven by foreign races? This generation is really shameless!"

No matter what reason Zu Dashou had, in Zhu Mingzhong's view, it was not the reason why he was willing to be driven by the alien race. The chain reaction brought about by Zu Dashou's surrender for glory and wealth was that Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming surrendered one after another. It was they who created the so-called "Han Army", and this "Han Army" was the vanguard of the Qing Dynasty's entry into the pass.

"What the king said is very good. The Qing barbarians are hateful. These traitors who surrendered to the thief are even more hateful. Therefore, I, Jiangbei, do not tolerate traitors..."

When Fang Yizhi said this, he persuaded him tactfully.

"In my opinion, like Zu Dashou and Kong Youde, those who lead troops to surrender to the Qing Dynasty will not be able to calm the public's anger without killing them. However, if there are many Qing officials in the pass, if there is no great evil, they may be retained according to the situation. After all, the Chu vassal can often be retained with one piece of paper and quickly settled the civil service, but in Shandong, I am often too strict..."

What Fang Yizhi called harshness was actually a punishment for those officials who were cleansing up their official positions. Not only did they directly remove their official positions, but they also settled their actions over the years. If they had "helped evil people to abuse", there was only one way to die. In this way, the pacification of Shandong is far from as fast as the pacification of Jiangbei back then.

"When the king entered Jiangbei, he also retained old officials. Now there are things to do in the mansion to clear old officials, if..."

Before Fang Yizhi could finish speaking, Zhu Mingzhong smiled.

"Times have changed, and now it is not each other. When I entered Jiangbei, I had only more than 10,000 people and only a handful of civil officials. Now I have more than 10,000 officials in Jiangbei. In this way, I naturally don't need to retain old officials. Moreover, I had warned me that if they had abandoned the seal and returned, how could there be a liquidation today? As for Li Ziyuan..."

With a cold smile, Zhu Mingzhong's eyes narrowed into a thin slit, and then sneered.

"Even if he surrenders, what's the use of clearing the false officials? Not to mention other people, Henan Governor Liu Qingtai could surrender him yesterday, and today he could sit and watch the Qing enemy transport food at the city, and he would surrender to others in the future. Li Ziyuan seemed to be strong in his army, but you see that there were both the remnants of the Ming Dynasty and the fine officials. The army was mixed with fish and dragons. His strong in his army, but it was just a sign of weakness..."

Staring at the heavy rain outside the door, Zhu Mingzhong said with a serious expression.

"At the beginning of Jiangbei, Gu had no time to ask about other things, so he could only use the Qingfu officials. Later, after defeating Dasu, Gu divided the power of local officials and divided the power, so that the local area could be stabilized. In the following years, the old officials and fake officials were transferred out of the local area, and Jiangbei was all in my control. Even if the Qing army entered Jiangbei, the officials and people in the city would fight to the death and would never surrender to the enemy, but..."

Looking back at Fang Yizhi, Zhu Mingzhong asked back.

"If the Qing army besieged Luoyang and regarded Liu Qingtai as a man, would he surrender? If he was allowed to be rich and prosperous."

"this……"

The king's rebellious question made Fang Yizhi stunned, and he said after a while.

"If this is the case, it will definitely be defeated..."

History always gives people inspiration. When he entered Jiangbei, Zhu Mingzhong still needed a "unified front". Now, when the troops are strong, this "unified front" can be "chosen".

"Yes, so, we need not all cats and dogs to pull in now. Not only can we not pull them, but we also have to invite some cats and dogs out. This is called a pure team. If the team is not pure, it will definitely be confused by others in the future. After all, in the future..."

Zhu Mingzhong could vaguely guess what the world would look like in the future, and Fang Yizhi also knew it.

"If you are willing to be rich and prosperous, you may have your true colors. You must be strong yourself! The more you are at this time, the more critical these are! If you are not strong yourself, you will always take advantage of others!"

Now is the critical moment. It is precisely because of this that Zhu Mingzhong gave up the recruitment of the demotion, and even gave up the capital in order not to "showing wood in the forest". However, on the other hand, he has always controlled "big righteousness". In the face of this "big righteousness" is the world, and sent troops to Liaodong to restore the world. There are also such examples in history... but at that time,big righteousness became another two words. Although those two words were just to say, many people believed it.

"What the king said is very, my minister is stupid."

Fang Yizhi, who was humble in his teaching, immediately understood what the king meant by "being employed by others". Those who could surrender to Chu, they could surrender to Huai, and vice versa. As long as they knew "profit". At the appropriate time, as long as they knew the interests, the role that those people played in the Chu camp was no less than a hero.

"Secret..."

Fang Yizhi's answer made Zhu Mingzhong say with a smile.

"It's not that you are stupid, but..."

Looking at the distance with a smile, Zhu Mingzhong stopped talking. What is their problem now?

"You are also for the Ming Dynasty, just..."

Zhu Mingzhong sighed with his eyes slightly hanging.

"It's just that sometimes, you have to look at your partner first, otherwise you will undoubtedly be planning to get along with the tiger! The rain stops, so I will go out for a while!"

As he said that, Zhu Mingzhong walked out of the room.

Who did the king's words point to? Fang Yizhi's thought emerged from his heart, and quickly threw the thought aside. When he was instructing others to prepare supper, he saw that the king had walked out of the door and several guards followed.

While walking in Dalinghe City, although the road was very muddy, Zhu Mingzhong was in a good mood. Occasionally, he would chat with the soldiers who were tents. When he came to the city wall, he looked at the demolished city wall. Although it was only a few feet high, in such a wilderness, this rammed wall was the best barrier.

"In the future, this city can be rebuilt, and it will be more convenient to immigrate to the river..."

Murmuring in his heart, Zhu Mingzhong walked to the city wall that had become a mound. Looking at the dark night outside the city, his eyes staring at Li Ziyuan.

"If you knew that the town of Shenyang was moved to the east, what would you do when it happened?"

With a cold smile and staring at Zhu Mingzhong in the pass, the saying "If God wants to destroy it, he must first make it crazy."

Now, it's only one step away!

Staring at the mountains and rivers in the pass, Zhu Mingzhong's expression became more and more solemn. Thinking of the recent news from Beijing and news from various places, the smile on his face became brighter. From now on, the effect of actively showing weakness is emerging little by little. The situation is developing as he expected, and he only needs to add fuel to the fire...

Where should it be fueled?

At this time, the rain fell again. Zhu Mingzhong, who was in the rain, stood still. When the smile on the surface appeared, he said to himself.

"Actually, why do you need someone Zhu to help? Why are you, Li Ziyuan, who is cautious? Humph, it's just this time..."

With a sneer, Zhu Mingzhong's eyes slightly shrank.
