Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 385 Suspicion
Yang Chao's guess is indistinguishable, and Duoduo is indeed suspecting that the soldiers surrendered and rebelled.

Doduo knew very well that each of these surrendered soldiers might not have sincerely surrendered. They just saw the power of the Eight Banners and wanted to find a master. However, the order to shave their hair made the soldiers at the bottom and even some officers feel very dissatisfied.

In the past, Duoduo didn't care about it, and the hair-shaving order must be implemented, because only if their hair is shaved, these people may follow them wholeheartedly, and the Ming army can't tolerate them anymore, they have to go all the way to the dark.

It is precisely because of this method, coupled with winning over high-level military officials, raising the flag for them, and taking their families to Beijing.

Only through this series of measures can the surrender of troops be firmly controlled.

However, there are exceptions. Some officers have no family background, so they have no scruples, and rebellions have not never occurred.

Therefore, they have to benefit, so after Yangzhou was breached this time, Duoduo generously let the newly surrendered soldiers, even the soldiers who surrendered in Yangzhou City, participate in the looting feast, using the people of Yangzhou flesh and blood to win over these people.

But Duduo didn't expect that these people still 'rebelled'.

At the beginning, Doduo was making out with some beauties, when suddenly he heard a strong noise outside, and his subordinates reported that a thief had broken in.

The subordinates vowed to tell Prince Yu not to worry, but Duoduo immediately felt uneasy.

To be honest, Dodo is not a timid person. As a high-ranking Manchurian, he has fought a lot. The habits of hunting people have not completely faded from him, but it is precisely because of fighting all the year round that he has a very sensitive sense of danger. vigilance.

This sixth sense made Duduo feel unusual. He left 1000 guards in the governor's mansion for defense, and the other guards were released to take turns to rob. Taking advantage of this gap to attack him, it shows that the thief is not an ordinary thief. He is very clear about the situation around him, and it is premeditated.

So when Dodo found that there were a large number of thieves, and when his well-trained men kept being killed, he only glanced at the window, and immediately made a decision. The guards guarded the house, cut off the rear and drew fire for him.

Duoduo fled into the garden, climbed over the back wall, went to the back alley, and then immediately went to the Zhenhuai Gate in the north, and first took Man Baqi, a Niu Lu, who was guarding the gate here, to his side, and then he felt at ease.

It was only then that he began to think about how to put down the rebellion. He was sure that it was a dissatisfied surrendered soldier who rebelled. As for the entry of the Ming army into the city, he didn't even think about it, because he thought it was too unimaginable. There is not a single Ming army in a radius of twenty miles, and the Ming army can still fly.

Moreover, out of caution, Duoduo decided that the gates of the city were guarded by soldiers of the Eight Banners, so it was impossible to give the Ming army a chance to sneak attack.

If you climb over the city wall, it is impossible to enter the city on a large scale.

So it could only be the rebels. He never expected that the Eight Banners soldiers he trusted would hand over the city gate to Yang Chao, and then Yang Chao's army would calmly enter the city through the city gate without any battle at all.

So Duoduo decided that this could only be a rebellion.But who was the traitor, Duduo really couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Brothers Liu Zeqing, Zhang Tianfu, and Zhang Tianlu were not very suspicious. They all surrendered voluntarily. Liu Zeqing's younger brother was even a veteran of the Qing Dynasty who had surrendered in Liaodong.

The Ming army who surrendered in Yangzhou City was very suspicious, but after receiving the surrendered troops in the city, Doduo almost pulled out and killed all the officers above the commander in chief among them, and scattered the other soldiers into various troops. It was impossible for them to A traitor to the establishment.

Then it can only be that the generals under Liu Liangzuo and Zhang Tianlu have rebelled, at least a general or a lieutenant has rebelled, otherwise there would be thousands of soldiers.

But which commander-in-chief and deputy general surrendered, Duduo really couldn't think of it, because what he observed from the window showed that the one who attacked him was definitely an elite army. It is said that he is definitely an elite soldier in a hundred battles, and his vision is absolutely unmistakable.

There are definitely not many troops in the Ming army who can reach this level, basically they are the servants of the general soldiers of the towns.

But which general soldier has so many elite servants, Duduo really can't think of it, based on his knowledge, he can't find such a person among the general soldiers who surrendered.

Then it can only be said that the traitor had hidden his strength before and never revealed it. The first time he was exposed, he came to kill himself, which means that this guy has been premeditated for a long time. I'm planning.

Thinking of this, Duduo felt chills down his spine. Such a premeditated betrayal by the other party was almost foolproof. Fortunately, he escaped in time without any hesitation. Otherwise, if he hesitated a little, he might be blocked in the room by the other party, or pursue up.

Although he couldn't figure it out for a while, Duoduo didn't stop acting.

After taking over the soldiers at the gate of the city, he immediately sent an order to send people to find Zhang Tianfu and Liu Liangzuo, the leaders of the soldiers who surrendered, and also ordered the soldiers to send an order to all the bannermen guarding the city and the Eight Banners soldiers who were looting everywhere to go to Zhenhuai immediately. Let him gather here.

He had to find the rebels as soon as possible, and then suppress them with thunderous force. If other soldiers followed the rebellion, it would be impossible to stop them. He could only choose to evacuate Yangzhou, rectify outside the city, and attack again.

Seeing that Yangzhou has been conquered, but he has to give up this huge piece of fat, Duoduo feels distressed when he thinks about it.

Since entering the customs, including many times before entering the fortress, counting the richness of the city that was conquered this time, Beijing city is impossible to loot due to political considerations, but Yangzhou is different. Yangzhou resisted the Qing soldiers, and he had an excuse to deter them , even if the imperial court knew about it, they would not punish him, and besides, his elder brother Dorgon was in power in the imperial court, so who would dare to punish him.

Soon Liu Liangzuo and others rushed to Zhenhuai Gate to join Duoduo.

However, not many Eight Banners soldiers from all walks of life came back, and the news of the reports also made him suspicious. The guards said that they saw many Ming soldiers killing each other on the road, and they ignored them coming directly from the city wall.

Duoduo couldn't help being startled, and secretly guessed in his heart that the scale of the rebellion was far beyond his imagination, and it had already spread throughout the city.

The opponent not only wanted to kill him directly, but also launched multiple attacks at the same time. Obviously, the Eight Banners soldiers who hadn't returned were also attacked or blocked, so they couldn't come back.

Such a large rebellion is no longer something that can be launched by a general or a lieutenant general. According to Duoduo's thinking, at least 1 people are needed to do so. Without other people coming, the brothers Zhang Tianfu and Zhang Tianlu only had a total of more than 2 soldiers. Duoduo had seen it, and they were all mobs.

"Liu Liangzuo! Tell me what's going on?"

So as soon as Liu Liangzuo arrived, Duoduo asked him immediately.

Liu Liangzuo was terrified in his heart. He already knew that there seemed to be a rebellion in the city, but he was not responsible for it. He had been suspecting that Zhang Tianfu brothers did it, but he didn't expect Duoduo to ask him first.

Liu Liangzuo hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has learned a lesson, the general really doesn't know."

Duoduo just doubted for a moment just now, Liu Liangzuo can honestly accept his call to come here, which already shows that he is not the chief envoy, unless he is a lonely hero, surprisingly courageous, but Duoduo does not think Liu Liangzuo is like this people.

"This king knows that you don't know. This king also knows that you are loyal. Your wife and children have been sent to Beijing, and your brother has also made great contributions to my Qing Dynasty."

Duoduo calmed down, and began to appease Liu Liangzuo. At the same time, he did not forget to warn him that your family and younger brothers are all in Beijing, so you better not have second thoughts.

Liu Liangzuo hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

Duoduo continued to ask: "This king wants to know, who is the best fighter under your command?"

Liu Liangzuo immediately understood that Duoduo was suspecting that his subordinates were making trouble.

Like Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo fought with Li Zicheng. At that time, they were two generals under Li Zicheng. It was just that Liu Liangzuo was captured by the Ming army and then surrendered. Gao Jie stole Li Zicheng's wife and surrendered. Unexpectedly, both of them ended up becoming the Ming Dynasty. One of the four towns.

Liu Liangzuo's old brothers, like Gao Jie's, have followed him since the rebellion, and the core generals are all from his village and clan without exception, so it is naturally impossible for Duoduo to bring them surgery.

Moreover, Liu Liangzuo believed that his subordinates would rebel: "Your Majesty has learned from you, the last general and his subordinates are all relatives and old friends of the last general, so they realize the reason for rebellion!"

Duoduo also became puzzled. He dared to accept Liu Liangzuo's soldiers. Naturally, he had already figured out Liu Liangzuo's background. There were indeed many children of Liu's surname in Liu Liangzuo's army, such as his younger brother Liu Liangchen.

Liu Liangzuo did not seem to be suspicious, so could it be the two brothers Zhang Tianfu and Zhang Tianlu?

The Zhang family brothers were also in front of Duoduo at this time, before Duduo could ask them, Zhang Tianfu spoke first: "Master Mingjian, maybe this is not a rebellion, but the actions of the Ming army?"

Duoduo sneered, the Ming army flew from the sky, and each city gate was guarded by Eight Banners soldiers. The whole army will not be wiped out in an instant, there will definitely be someone who will return alive, but now Duoduo has not received any news.

Now before he could ask, Zhang Tianfu himself jumped out to accuse the Ming army.

"Zhang Zongbing, please send someone to summon all the lieutenants under his command!"

Seeing this, Zhang Tianfu and Zhang Tianlu knew that Duoduo had put their suspicions on themselves, so they dared not say more, and immediately sent orders to the soldiers.

Duoduo looked at Liu Liangzuo again.

How can he trust people so easily, since these people say they are not his own, then let people call all the generals under them. As a general, it is impossible to rob things in person, and he must hide in that mansion to enjoy himself.

If someone doesn't come by then, it will naturally explain the reason.

Liu Liangzuo didn't even dare to object, and he vowed that all the generals under his command lived nearby and would come at any time.
