Thinking of this, Wu Sangui's eyes became very determined.
Not long after, Hong Chengchou came to Wu Sangui's mansion and talked with Wu Sangui in detail.
This news soon reached Zhu Cixiang's ears by people from the Bloodscale Society.
Hear the report from the intelligence officer in front of you.
Zhu Cixiang's brows furrowed.
Did he end up defecting to the Manchus?
Although Emperor Chongzhen went south, he did not die, and he also stationed troops in Shandong, so it was not impossible to support them.
But Wu Sangui still went back to the original history and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty?
There was silence for a while.
"Send someone to notify Huang Degong and Lin Yi!"
Zhu Cixiang said to the men in front of him with a serious expression.
"Let them be prepared to stop the Manchus from going south. From today on, they will increase the amount of training!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
The subordinate in front of him said respectfully to Zhu Cixiang in front of him.
The subordinate retreated.
At this time, Zhu Cixi turned to Eunuch Li and said, "Li Banban, go and inform Song Yingxing and the others and ask them to produce cannons at any cost! Muskets must be produced as soon as possible!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
Eunuch Li who was around said respectfully to Zhu Cixiang in front of him.
At this time, his brows were furrowed, wondering whether the old events in Nanming would happen again, and whether the inertia of history would return to its original trajectory!
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang became worried, and a hint of sigh flashed in his eyes.
"By the way, please invite Wu Yan, Song Xiance, and Li Yan to come to my house to discuss matters!"
Zhu Cixiang frowned and said to the men on the side.
The first person to arrive at Zhu Cihong's residence was Li Yan, who had no other arrangements.
Because Li Yan's ghost-faced army caused huge controversy in the entire Jiangnan area, because they killed Yan Shenggong's family, the fighting caused controversy in the entire Jiangnan area.
Simply put, Zhu Cihong didn't let Li Yan stay very far away from him.
Instead, Li Yan was asked to reorganize the Ghost Face Army and temporarily let him protect him in Qingzhou Mansion.
Therefore, Li Yan came the fastest.
"Your Highness, what do you want me to do?"
There was a trace of doubt in Li Yan's eyes, and he looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and asked curiously.
"Wu Sangui surrendered to the Qing Dynasty!"
Looking at Li Yan in front of him, Zhu Cixiang said with a gloomy expression.
After hearing Zhu Cixi's words, Li Yan's expression changed slightly.
He hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and said, "Didn't His Highness just negotiate terms with Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng was willing to give in and let Wu Sangui buy grain at 30% of the grain price? Why did he suddenly..."
Zhu Cixi shook his head, a hint of sigh flashed in his eyes.
"Let's wait until Song Xiance and the others arrive!"
Zhu Cixiang's expression was not very good. He originally thought that if he and Li Zicheng had negotiated terms, Wu Sangui would at least not be surrendered as quickly as in the original situation.
But I didn't expect...
Although the intruders are very passive now, they themselves can't even think about having a good life.
In the entire Liaodong, the last line of defense of the Ming Dynasty was lost. Zhu Cixiang had no way of predicting what direction the final result would develop.
I didn't wait long in the lobby. Soon, Wu Yan and Song Xiance rushed over one after another.
"Wu Sangui surrendered to the Qing Dynasty!"
Zhu Cihong said with a serious face to Song Xiance and Wu Dong who were standing aside.
Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, with a thoughtful look in his eyes as he looked at Cheng Hao in front of him.
But there was a strange look on Song Xiance's face. He pondered for a moment, looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and said: "Your Highness, with all due respect, Wu Sangui's surrender to the Qing Dynasty would do more good than harm to the court. After all, the Qing Dynasty
The first thing the army does when entering the pass must be to plunder and attack the Chuang army.
The two of them are fighting to the death, which should be a good thing for the court! Are you...?"
Song Xiance looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him with curiosity in his eyes.
Wu Di looked at Zhu Cihong.
He had discussed this matter with Zhu Cixiang many times.
But the last time I talked with His Highness the Prince, His Highness seemed to have got into a corner. He actually thought that Li Zicheng would suddenly die suddenly?
This is simply ridiculous.
Although this had been discussed last time, Wu Zong still looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him with a curious look on his face. He still wanted to know what His Highness the Crown Prince would say these words.
Hear Song Xiance's words.
Zhu Cixiang pondered for a moment, looked at Song Xiance and others in front of him and said, "What if the intruders cannot stop the Qing army's cavalry? Or what if the intruders are dispersed and then surrender to the Qing army?"
"Your Highness, although Li Zichen's abilities are average, there are still many powerful people within the Chuang Army. The Chuang Army should be defeated, but at most they will retreat to Shaanxi and Shanxi and give up the important territory of the capital to the Qing Dynasty. That's all.
That’s all!”
Song Xiance's eyes were very vicious.
He looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and pondered for a moment and said: "This will indeed make the situation more complicated, but it is not a bad thing for us. If we can take over the first wave of Manchu attacks,
It can buy us a lot of development time!
After all, a tripartite alliance is an advantage for us! It’s better than a single family of intruders!”
After hearing Song Xiance's words, Zhu Cixiang pondered for a moment.
To be honest, if Li Zicheng died suddenly, it might not be a bad thing for him.
Song Xiance and Li Yan both have good status within the bandits.
Maybe let them recruit the remaining intruders!
"Actually, I called you two here not only to discuss the Manchus' entry into the country, but also if Li Zicheng dies suddenly, are you sure you can recruit the intruders?"
Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly, looked at Song Xiance and Li Yan in front of him and said.
Hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, the two of them were slightly shocked. They looked at Zhu Cixiang with serious expressions in their eyes, shook their heads and said: "If King Chuang is assassinated and dies, the people under his command will immediately
Considering that it was you who did it, they will never surrender to you!"
"Then what if he was killed justly??"
In the original history, the intruders died at the hands of the militiamen after they defeated the Manchus!
"That should work!"
The two nodded.
Zhu Cixiang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay! Then you all go back and get ready! We have to assemble the army and prepare for war! There is a high probability that the intruders will not be able to stop the Manchu offensive!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
After saying that, several people around him left one after another.
Wu Yan's eyes flickered for a while, without saying anything more, he turned and left.
Within a few days, the situation in Shandong instantly became tense, and recruitment notices were basically posted everywhere.
