Suzhou Daying.

"Governor General, look at this!" Jiang Fang walked into Zhang Cunren's room and handed Zhang Cunren a letter of persuasion to surrender.

Zhang Cunren took it and found that the writing of this persuasion of surrender was very simple, but the focus was on the reverse side, which was covered with seals of all sizes. The high-ranking officials in Nanjing had official seals, which were not in charge of the officials, but were stamped with their own private seals. They counted carefully, and there were no less than 300.

"It seems that Nanjing has really fallen, otherwise this would not be the case." Zhang Cunren punched the table.

"Governor General, should you retreat west or hold on? Let's make an idea." Jiang Fang's face was full of urgentness.

"Retreat west? No matter how fast we run from land, we can't be faster than the ships in the Yangtze River. As for persistence! So many team members have a second heart, so how can they still be persistent? It's not completely in chaos yet. If the East Fen officials on the opposite side marked the bounty of my husband's head, I don't know how many people would kill us." Zhang Cunren also had no idea.

Jiang Fang leaned up and whispered: "Governor General, why not surrender,"

Zhang Cunren clenched his fists, walked around the room, thought for a long time, and said, "Jiang Fang, send a confidant to go to the camp opposite to ask the barbarian general, and then ask him, what treatment can I give if I take down all the officers above the general in the camp."

After hearing this, Jiang Fang said, "We must be safe in our family, and have good operations. Maybe we can get a Han military flag for the Governor in the Jilin Appeasement Zone."

This was just in Zhang Cunren's heart, and he said, "It's fine to have a flag power, it's good to be able to move overseas. By the way, Jiang Fang, you arranged someone to go to Nanjing and meet the eldest son directly. This eldest son is extremely generous and directly find the official master, which is probably better negotiation."

Jiang Fang nodded and then went to make arrangements. After a while, he entered Zhang Cunren's study and said, "Governor General, the arrangements have been made. Nanjing Road and Daying Road opposite are all old brothers who followed you out of Liaodong. It is absolutely impossible to be wrong."

After hearing this, Zhang Cunren felt that he had a way out. He said, "No matter what, you have to control the people first. Jiang Fang, you can order the officers above the general to go to the generals and the military affairs of the camp outside the city to discuss the military affairs. The time will be set after dinner today."

Jiang Fang smiled coldly: "Yes, sir, I will select five hundred elite soldiers carefully, and I will never let anyone go. sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir

Zhang Cunren shook his head and said, "Gao Di? He is worth 6,000 taels in the Eastern Banner. Jiang Gan General, do you don't like these 6,000 taels?"

The cold wind penetrated through the gaps in the tent, causing the candlelight in front of Gao Di to jump. Gao Di looked at the letter that had covered the seal of the Southeast War Zone Command, unable to hide his excitement. He read it carefully twice and said to himself: "Exemption from guilt, inclusion, Zhang Cunren, regardless of life or death, haha, this price is really low!"

The dear general walked in and whispered: "Master, the Governor General, and the Governor sent a message to the officers above the general to go to the military affairs of the general's tent."

Gao Di raised his head and asked, "Do you hear clearly? Go to all the above?"

"Yes, Lord." The dear general said again.

"This is strange." Gao Di twisted his jaw and sucked the command.

Now the generals of the governors are no longer considered high-ranking officials. After returning to Nanjing, the generals of each battalion were all granted official positions and titles, and the generals below also became promoted and made money. The current generals of the governors, before returning to the capital, were just a few people, with three or five hundred soldiers under their command, and the real power was still the same.

The dear general said, "Yes, Master, and I also said that all the gentry generals and above will go there. So there are no more than two hundred people? Can our governor's tent be installed?"

Gao Di said: "Hmph, it seems that our Governor Zhang will use his brothers as stepping stones."

The dear general took a step forward and said, "Mr. General, isn't this our chance? Think about it, if you hold hundreds of generals at once, you will take over the entire Suzhou camp. With your deep relationship with Dongfan, you will not only exchange for rewards for the Dongfan camp. At that time, you will not be able to find a single official or a half position."

"It's precisely this principle. Gao Yong, pick up two hundred people and go there in batches. After fighting, you will take all the brothers and rush over, and surround the camp where the commander's tent is in, and not let a guy go away." Gao Di said.

"What about you?" Gao Yong asked.

Gao Di smiled and said, "If I don't show up, I'm afraid our governor will have a trick."

After saying that, Gao Di wore a layer of armor, covered it with a robe, and only brought a dozen personal soldiers. Even when he went to the commander's tent, the battalion had not changed. Gao Di found that the surrounding tent was quiet and terrible, and no one was in and out. He thought that the knife and axe driver were all ambushed inside. Gao Di pretended not to know, and got into the commander's tent and found that Zhang Cunren had not shown up. It was his personal general who was entertaining Jiang Fang. Gao Di deliberately met Jiang Fang and talked to several generals in the regiment training. Seeing that Jiang Fang was busy entertaining others, he pretended to be traumatized and walked out of the side door, took off his robe and clothes, exposed his general's clothing, and escaped in two steps.

Soon, Gao Di and the first group of lurking soldiers joined their heads and watched Zhang Cunren's governor's banner appear in the camp from a distance. Gao Di was not vague and took action directly. His personal soldiers drilled through the fence, holding long swords and axes, and swung across the waist of the camp where they looked at the uninhabited tent. There were bursts of screams from the inside. The small camp collapsed, and blood and internal organs spread rapidly. Several spear soldiers went up and attacked those who were still standing on the ground, whether it was people or furniture, and they were assassinated. Without sound, they went to the next tent.

At this time, Zhang Cunren was still in the tent, pretending to appease the generals, but found that Gao Di was not there. After asking, he realized that Gao Di was going out to solve the problem. Zhang Cunren asked Jiang Fang, and Jiang Fang also said that Gao Di was nothing unusual, so he said that when he came back, he could not wait any longer. He heard that the chaos outside was getting out, and he realized that Zhang Cunren thought that the ambush plan had been discovered, so he took action immediately. After sending the signal, only more than a hundred people ran in. The soldiers under Gao Di were already shouting outside: "Zhang Cunren is going to kill the generals, and offer them to the East Fan, everyone run away quickly."

No one in the tent had any weapons. At this time, he resisted and killed Zhang Cunren's personal soldiers. Seeing that the matter was revealed, Zhang Cunren directly gave up his plan and fled into Suzhou City under Jiang Fang's escort. Gao Di's personal general led a large group of troops to surround the camp.

When he returned to the city, Zhang Cunren was supported by the Dubiao Battalion. Seeing that the direction of the Supervisor was in chaos, the Dubiao Battalion had already come to help. Zhang Cunren simply sent the Dubiao Battalion to suppress it and fought with Shandong soldiers who wanted to pick the fruits. After fighting for a night, no one could do anything to anyone. A large number of generals and nobles died in the battle. The fleeing people returned to the camp and ordered their own troops. They either fled to the United States or joined the battle group, causing more chaos.

When Li Shan saw the pseudo-Ming army killing himself in his own camp, he ignored it and directly sent infantry and cavalry to attack, attack on both sides, and raised a large flag to recruit Ming troops from the camp. The chaos of Suzhou camp had long been out of order. Many people rushed into Suzhou City and wanted to grab one. Li Shan could not sit down and see the prosperous city in Jiangnan being plundered by chaos, so he personally led the main division to rush into Suzhou City and controlled the entire city.

When Zhang Cunren and Gao Di met again, they had become prisoners. One was covered in dust and the other was covered in bruises. When the dog bites the dog, no one got any benefit. They didn't even have a chance anyway, so they were caught.

The collapse of Suzhou camp means that the only heavy army group in the south of the pseudo-Ming Dynasty was lost. Wumu, who was originally planned to shore in Jiangyin and Zhenjiang, changed his plan, went ashore from Yangzhou, attacked north along the canal, and directly attacked the two Huaihe areas.

Zhuxian Town, Kaifeng, Henan.

Zhuxian Town is one of the four famous towns today. A Jialu River can be used for boats and boat transportation, making it a major transportation hub in Henan. Li Dingguo heard that he had arrived near Zhuxian Town and ordered the entire army to: "Go forward quickly and rest in Zhuxian Town!"

Li Dingguo's army set out from Guangdong and Guangxi before the New Year and entered Huguang at four passes at the same time. It was a huge momentum. Because Hong Chengchou of Huguang went to Nanjing, officials and generals from all over the country did not stop him, and he had never heard of the signs of the three feudal families going north again. The army went north all the way, and the first gathering point was set in Changsha. The marching along the way was to raise the Zhu Ming banner. Whenever the prefectures and counties passed by, if you recognize this flag, you would need to transport rice, grain, salary and livestock to the army, prepare ships and men and soldiers to transport supplies, and the amount required was levied according to the local population size.

If he did not recognize Zhu Ming's banner and did not cooperate with the measures, he would disperse the cavalry and demand it on his own. The army was in a mighty way to Changsha, such as Huguang, where he was in the heart of Huguang, and had never been blocked. Until the forefront crossed the river, the governor of Huguang, the pseudo-Ming, came to the army and asked the army to temporarily station in Huguang and rushed to Jiangnan with reinforcements. However, Li Dingguo said that he went north to attack the Qing Dynasty, and the military situation was blocked.

The Governor of Huguang did not dare to start a war easily. In fact, there was no army that could be confronted by hundreds of miles nearby.

After successfully crossing the river, he continued to go north and entered Henan. He used his old tricks again, either forcing military taxes or plundering all directions. Li Dingguo did not harm the people. Every time he plundered, he was very familiar with such means. He used this method to fight with Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhuxian Town is called town, but it actually has a trading city with hundreds of thousands of people and has a city wall. However, the docks and commercial ports are mostly outside the city wall. Before nightfall, Li Dingguo forced the carriage shop outside Zhuxian Town, settled the army, and sent envoys to the city. After dinner, the envoys came back and brought a large team of carriages and horses to unload a large amount of pork, rice and white flour. Obviously, the officials and gentry of Zhuxian Town were still very wise. After giving another 150,000 taels of silver as military tax, Li Dingguo promised them that they would not robbery.

Seeing that the representative of Zhu Xianzhen had just shaved his hair, Li Dingguo asked him to sit down and directly asked about the situation nearby, he realized that the Nanjing court had sent officials to take over Henan. Most of Henan had abandoned the appointments of the Qing Dynasty, the Henan Governor and other senior officials from the Nanjing court. As long as the prefectures and counties were correct, they would continue to stay in office. The speed was so fast that the local government had already paid a autumn tax to Nanjing.

"Your Highness King Jin, after crossing the river, it will not be the world of our Ming Dynasty. To the north of the Yellow River, the three prefectures of Weihui, Guide, Huaiqing in Henan, Daming in Zhili, Guangping and Shunde Prefectures, Dongchang Prefectures in Shandong, most of the canals in Jining Prefectures, and most of the prefectures in Jining Prefectures, as well as Wuding Prefectures, and even Qingzhou Prefectures, are now surrendered to the East Ban, and are now under the jurisdiction of a yamen called the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Management Committee. The big yamen is in Linqing, and there are soldiers from the East Ban everywhere." The envoy introduced.

"What about the military administration treating the gentry and the people?" Li Dingguo asked.

The envoy replied: "To the gentry and doctor, it's like a wolf or a tiger. In the past six months, many gentry from the east of the Yellow River, with their families and their families, come here. If it's to ordinary people, it's not that fierce. Even the taxes for last year were exempted. But I heard that Shandong people east of the canal were either moved to Zhili, Henan, or were forcibly pulled into the city and refused to come out."

Li Dingguo thought to himself that this was the style of the United States, and it was not uncommon. He raised a bag of silver from the money box he sent, smashed it on the table, and said to the messenger: "You are a businessman, from all over the country, well-informed. I ask you, what is Shandong like? If you say it well, this bag of silver will be yours."

The envoy looked at the silver bag that was about 200 taels, gritted his teeth and said, "About ten days ago, I heard from people from Shandong that the Ming and Qing dynasties had joined forces and were going to fight the East Fan. Originally, everyone didn't believe it. I thought, the Ming and Qing dynasties had fought for decades, and how many people had died? The Ming and Dongfan were good again, so why did it happen? But yesterday, Yangzhou merchants said that the East Fan had fought from Zhejiang to Jiangnan and copied the Ming Dynasty's nest."

"Is this true what you said?" Yuan Shizhong grabbed the messenger's neck and asked.

The messenger was so pinched that he couldn't breathe. Li Dingguo pushed him away. Li Dingguo shouted to the outside world. His son Li Sixing walked in. Li Dingguo said, "Take a few people to Zhuxian Town with this gentleman and bring the merchant from Yangzhou."

Li Sixing mentioned the envoy and left. Li Dingguo said: "This kind of news cannot be faked. What do you think?"

Bai Wenxuan said: "I believe that the army and the Qing court have also received this news. After they received this news, they only had two choices. One was to escape their lives, and the other was to fight the decisive battle with the main force of the United States regardless of the consequences."

"Maybe the fight has started now." Yuan Shizhong was not very optimistic.

"King of Jin, what should we do now?" Bai Wenxuan asked.

Li Dingguo said: "I didn't expect that even we could not catch up with the change at the same time. Since that's the case, we can only divide the troops."

"How to separate?" The two of them came up.

Li Dingguo opened the map and said, "The three main forces confronted each other, and it must be a quick battle. It is impossible to catch up with this battle. Lao Yuan and I led the cavalry across the river and rushed directly to the battlefield. The infantry and artillery were handed over to Wenxuan. Wenxuan, you defeat Guide, garrison on the spot, and deploy defense along the Yellow River. Once the Ming and Qing armies fail, there is the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Management Committee of the United States north of the Yellow River, and Henan will rely on you."
