"Surrender?" Zhu Chunjie was stunned, "A general who is a rogue bandit has to surrender? This rogue bandit is really particular."

Zhu Cixiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not Zhao Yingyuan's surrender. What kind of watch is he on? Having Li Yan and Lady Hong as guarantees for him is better than any watch."

"Who put the watch on?" Zhu Chunjie asked puzzledly.

"Prince Heng's surrender!" Zhu Cixi smiled so brightly, "Zhu Youyi submitted a surrender to Li Zicheng in April, hoping to become Prince Heng of the Dashun Dynasty! He didn't have time to send out the surrender.

, Li Zicheng caused trouble. When Li Yan went to recruit Zhao Yingyuan to surrender, Zhao Yingyuan took out the surrender form.

Now that Chen Yingyuan surrenders, we will have some strength in Qingzhou! Although there are only 3,000 people, it is not something Li Shiyuan can defeat. In addition, we have ironclad evidence that Heng Fan has surrendered to the enemy, and we have an excuse to make Heng Fan surrender."

This Prince Heng is so confused! Zhu Chunjie thought to himself: He blindly surrendered without seeing the situation clearly, and left the evidence of his crime in the hands of the Crown Prince. Can anything good happen from this?

"Master Qiansui, what do you plan to do with Prince Heng?" Zhu Chunjie asked.

Zhu Cixi said with a smile: "It's something you don't want to deal with before someone is caught. Yidu City is a strong city, and Heng Fan has been passed down for eight generations for more than 150 years, so he should have quite a lot of savings. And Li Shiyuan, who assisted Heng Fan in defending the city,

He is a tiger general, and I don’t want to overwhelm the capital with troops."

"Master Qiansui, I can try to outwit Heng Fan."

Zhu Cixi smiled: "Okay, then you can make a plan and send it to Penglai Pavilion."

"I accept the order." Zhu Chunjie saluted and was about to retire. Zhu Cihong then ordered: "Chunjie, please continue to monitor Yanzhou and don't alert others."

"I accept the decree."

Zhu Cixiang added: "As for the Hengfan side, they have to try to outwit each other. No matter what method they use, they have to arrest Zhu Youyi by me. Remember, if you want to arrest him secretly and without showing anything, you can't hurt him."

A hair on my head."

"I obey the decree! I will go and find a solution immediately!"

In the Wengcheng in the east gate of Yidu City, the fat figure of Heng Wang Zhu Youyi was sitting on a chair, with a yellow umbrella above his head, and his fat face was twisted into a ball, covered with large beads of sweat.

, I didn’t even try to wipe it, I just kept sighing there.

Hundreds of soldiers, neatly dressed, lined up in formation, just waiting quietly.

There were also a group of clan officials and gentry in official and Confucian uniforms, all gathered behind the fat man Prince Heng, basking in the sun, all of them uneasy.

Qingzhou Branch Guard General Li Shiyuan stood behind the fat Prince Heng with a dark face and his left hand holding the handle of his waist knife.

The sigh of King Heng, the uneasiness of the officials and gentry of the Qingzhou clan, and Li Shiyuan's increasingly darker face were all caused by this strange prince, Zhu Youdi, the king of Heng clan.

As a vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, Prince Heng Zhu Youdi seemed to have a special interest in surrender, and he was not willing to become emperor and supervise the country.

In April of this year, after the news of the fall of Beijing came, Qingzhou City, led by the sub-defense general Li Shiyuan, launched a movement to support and persuade people to join the army. Apart from surrendering, this prince was pretty good in other aspects, especially because he was relatively loose.

, gave Li Shiyuan and the others a lot of money to recruit troops. So Li Shiyuan felt that this prince could at least serve as a supervisor.

But King Heng refused to be the prisoner of the country, let alone go further.

It was okay not to be a prisoner of the country, but then he sent someone to ask Li Zicheng to surrender!

You, the Ming Dynasty prince, if you are surrounded by an army of bandits and have no way to escape, just surrender and beg for your life. But Qingzhou City is not surrounded! If you are afraid of death, you can just run away like Lu Wang Zhu Yihai.

Why did he beg Li Zicheng to surrender so impatiently? He also went to surrender behind the backs of Li Shiyuan and the group of defenders, which created a fait accompli and everyone had no choice but to surrender together.

Of course, it is not a sin for the subjugated vassal king to surrender and beg for life, and it will not make all the officials and gentry in the city uneasy. The crime of Heng Fan was that he surrendered in a hurry without seeing the situation clearly!

As a result, not long after the surrender was sent out, Li Zicheng lost Beijing and fled. At the same time, the "missing" Emperor Chongzhen and Crown Prince Zhu Cixiang led an army to Dengzhou.

This really makes people laugh and cry. Li Shiyuan and his group were tricked by Heng Fan and became the second minister. The officers and soldiers of Ming Dynasty immediately launched a counter-attack. As a result, they defeated the rogue army that entered Qingzhou for a while. Although there was not much victory (Li Shiyuan did not

I don’t know that the bandit general was killed), but Yidu City is finally safe.

However, the rogue bandits defeated by Li Shiyuan did not return to Jinan, because Jinan was occupied by Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing who went north. The rogue bandit Zhao Yingyuan, who had no way to escape, did not know what route he took, and he was actually recruited by Dengzhou. This is really disappointing.

You know what to say! The two ministers of the Ming Dynasty met the two ministers of the rogue bandits. One is really better than the other.

Zhao Yingyuan, the second minister of Dashun, knew about Zhu Youchi's surrender to Dashun. I wonder if he would expose Heng Fan's crimes to the prince?

If it is exposed, how will Prince Fujun deal with it? How should Hengfan respond? We can't close the city to resist, right?

The vassal king of the Ming Dynasty became a loyal minister of Dashun, and then the prince sent two ministers of Dashun to attack him?

Thinking about it makes me feel weird! But it’s still weird, and it’s not completely impossible to resist behind closed doors. Because it’s not right to go there now. There is obviously a holy king in the government, but all the power belongs to Fujun.

Prince! This is not in line with the ancestral system! Therefore, Heng Fan resisted behind closed doors, which seems to have some basis.

Moreover, in Yanzhou, it seems that some people are planning to restore the power of the Holy King. Therefore, the officials in Hengfan and Yidu City may also be able to take on the task.

Just when everyone in Yidu City was feeling uneasy, an envoy from Dengzhou arrived in Yidu and brought even more frightening news.

Dengzhou sent a scholar from Dongge University and the Minister of War, Hou Xun, as the governor of seven provinces. They wanted to lead their troops to recover Henan, Shanxi, Shanxi, Huguang, Sichuan and other places occupied by rogue bandits, and they also wanted to pass through Yidu.

This is the Governor of the Cabinet who is passing by with troops! All the civil and military officials from Yidu and the vassal king are going to greet him. And Governor Hou is a big boss of Donglin, a figure on par with Qian Qianyi and Shi Kefa. Now he is bringing him

When troops went to regain the lost territory, how could Heng Fan and Li Shiyuan dare to resist?

But will Hou Xun, the governor of the cabinet, bring a secret edict to arrest Hengfan and Qingzhou officials? At this moment, everyone waiting in the Wengcheng of Yidu Dongguan is a little uneasy!

Everyone had been basking in the sun for who knows how long. It was not until the sun gradually moved to the center that they saw the dozen or so horses sent out to greet them rushing back, bringing with them a few men wearing mandarin duck war jackets.

, riding on the back of a pond horse. The leading rider was a servant of Li Shiyuan. He shouted from a distance towards Yidu Dongguan: "The governor of the Gebu will not enter the city, and the governor of the Gebu will not enter Yidu."

In the capital city, I only ask the city guard general Li Ye to come and see me!"

Not entering the city?

Very good!

King Heng Zhu Youji breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his face, turned to Li Shiyuan and said: "General Li Shen, please make a trip for me. Remember to bring all the gifts and give them to Mr. Hou Ge."

.”

Li Shiyuan also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was tricked into becoming a second minister by Heng Fan, his army was supported by Heng Fan's money, so he couldn't be too sorry.

It’s a good thing that no one is causing trouble for Heng Fan now!

"Come back when you are ready." Li Shiyuan bowed his hands to King Heng and headed west with dozens of servants and more than a dozen carts of gifts. After traveling less than 20 miles, he saw a newly planted

The military camp. Many officers and soldiers wearing red uniforms were either patrolling around or building forts and setting up camps. The order was far beyond Li Shiyuan's imagination.

Just when Li Shiyuan was surprised, a group of Jin Yiwei wearing flying fish uniforms suddenly came out of the camp with three to two hundred fire gun soldiers. The leader was a senior Jin Yiwei official in his twenties who was quite impressive. When he saw Li Shiyuan and others, he asked

: "Which of you is Qingzhou Branch Guard General Li Shiyuan? His Royal Highness the Prince of Fujun invites you!"

What? His Royal Highness the Prince of Fujun invites you? Li Shiyuan already knew that something bad was going to happen and he had been fooled by His Highness the Prince! He looked around and saw that he was heavily guarded! It seemed that he couldn't escape, so he had to be sorry.
