Huang Taiji shook his head helplessly and said, "I think so too! But there is one thing that you didn't expect from the 14th brother that the senior officials in the Ming Dynasty were all above the top and didn't bother to look down, so they didn't know the local situation at all! They couldn't find out about Shandong's news from them! They only knew that the Shandong general trained a lot of people and was suppressing bandits in Shandong."

Dorgon said furiously: "What a bunch of waste, I can't even do this little thing well!"

After saying that, Dorgon closed his eyes and pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, it seems that this Liu Pei's plan is very small! He is not suppressing bandits, it is clearly training troops! And I suspect that he took the initiative to blockade the Ming court, so the senior officials of the Ming Dynasty could not understand his background."

Huang Taiji laughed and said, "That's why you want you to capture him as much as possible and then surrender him. Well, of course, if you can catch him, let him write a book of surrender, and then stay in the Ming Dynasty as an insider, that would be even better!"

After hearing this, Dorgon laughed and said, "This matter is easy! Brother, let me see what my 14th brother is capable of this time!"

After the two talked about the serious matters, they talked and laughed and talked about their love affairs again. They looked like a pair of close and good brothers.

Not long after the two good brothers discussed the matter, they began to assemble troops to prepare to attack the Ming Dynasty. The news of the gathering of troops was promptly investigated by spies sent from Shandong and was immediately passed on to Shandong.

Liu Pei immediately sent it to Beijing after receiving the news. Because Liu Pei had already made plans in Beijing, he left behind the things Liu Dahai was in charge of Beijing.

After receiving the news of the Qing army's troops, Liu Dahai immediately began to move. Liu Dahai, who was already singing every night, became even more powerful during this period! All kinds of officials were always his guests, and the money was spent like flowing.

A few days later, the news of the Qing army entering the pass was spread to Beijing in a hurry. The entire city of Beijing suddenly became as chaotic as water dripped into the oil pan! Officials of all kinds rushed into the Forbidden City and discussed countermeasures with the emperor.

As a result, it was not until dusk that the bright moon was half hanging, and the courtiers came out of the Forbidden City in groups of three or three.

Just before the door of a censor's house, a very ordinary carriage had been parked there for a long time. The censor got out of the sedan chair and when he saw the carriage, the curtain of the carriage was also lifted.

Liu Dahai got out of the car and bowed and said, "Brother Hou, thank you for your hard work today!"

Censor Hou also bowed and said, "How can we talk about the hard work for the country?"

After the two of them exchanged greetings for a few times, Liu Dahai said, "Brother Hou, I wonder what the result of the court's discussion today is?"

Censor Hou raised his head with a smile and said, "With us speaking up for justice, how could there be any mistakes? As long as your lord stays in Shandong, you can escape this disaster smoothly!"

Liu Dahai was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Censor Hou. After being polite, the two agreed to go to the brothel to drink before they parted.

It turned out that Liu Pei was worried that the Qing army would attack Shandong this time. If he left Shandong to serve the king, the rescue would ruin his foundation.

Moreover, in normal history, the military supervisor sent by the court this time was the famous Gao Qiqian! He would kill Lu Xiangsheng with justification and let the Qing army cause disaster to the capital area!

If I went north to serve the king, I would probably be assigned to Gao Qiqian's command. I was afraid that I would be able to be strong and difficult to use. So Liu Pei could only secretly arrange Liu Dahai, so that he would not have to go north, but just guard Shandong.

Anyway, in normal history, Emperor Chongzhen did not mobilize the troops from Shandong, but only mobilized the troops from Xuan, Da and Shanxi. Because in his opinion, the Qing army entered the pass this time only raging near the capital.

However, Emperor Chongzhen did not expect that the broken Jingji area could no longer satisfy the appetite of the Qing army. After annihilated Lu Xiangsheng, the only one who dared to fight against the Qing army, the Qing army quickly turned to Shandong!

During this six months, the Qing army fought more than 2,000 miles, defeated 57 Ming army formations, conquered Jinan Prefecture, 3 prefectures, 55 counties, and 2 passes, killed two governors and more than a hundred generals and officers above the garrison, captured King De Zhu Youshu, Prince Zhu Ciying, General Zhu Cishang of the State, and the eunuch of the army, Feng Xu, etc., and obtained 462,300 people and animals, 4,039 taels of gold, and 977,460 taels of silver! Please remember

Live, these numbers were handed over to the public, and the population obtained by Qing army generals and soldiers in private were not included!

So after Liu Dahai manipulated some censors to make suggestions, Emperor Chongzhen easily adopted the opinions. He only mobilized the troops from Xuan, Da and Shanxi. He just ordered Liu Pei to defend Shandong.

When the news of not having to send troops reached Shandong, Liu Pei finally sighed and felt relieved. Because the boot finally fell to the ground!

Liu Pei calmed down and calculated that the Qing army sent troops a month and a half earlier than in history! It seems that his influence on the Qing army is not bad! Liu Pei calculated and found that there was still some time to prepare for the Qing army, so Liu Pei was preparing to inspect the city defense in Jinan.

During this period, Liu Pei has been focusing on the new army in the field, and has never paid attention to the urban defense work in Jinan. Liu Pei always thought that Jinan had a high city and a deep moat, and he could defend Jinan with a little allocation of troops.

But when he went to inspect the situation, his heart was bleak! The soldiers in charge of Jinan's city defense were not satisfied, but they were all old and weak! However, Jinan's garrison had to eat so much that they were full of energy!

When Liu Pei finished checking the city and the arsenal, the whole new one was completely cold! No wonder Jinan's city was so big that it was knocked down by the Qing army, which did not carry heavy equipment, because Jinan's city defense equipment and the arsenal were basically empty! Even the existing things were all broken!

While Liu Pei was very regretful, he also remembered a word called dark under the light! In the more than a year since Liu Pei was in power, he has rectified various garrisons many times, but he has acted vigorously and made great efforts! But he has forgotten the defenders of various cities!

However, this cannot be entirely blamed on Liu Pei. Because Liu Pei's thoughts are offensive ideas, he subconsciously ignored the defense. However, it is not too late to discover this problem now. At least he has two months left, and he will only turn his attention to Shandong after the Qing army rages near the capital.
