Chapter 315

Jin Yiwei brought a piece of opium ointment and a pipe.Li Cunming smiled slightly and said, "Duoduo, do you want to get addicted to cigarettes?"

Duoduo glanced at the opium cream, his eyes showed greed, but he pretended to be calm and said: "Stop coercing and luring, this king will not write a letter of persuasion even if he dies!"

Ren Qi scolded: "How dare you call yourself the king, a phoenix with hair falling is not as good as a chicken, besides, you Tartars are not phoenixes at all, you are pheasants in deep mountains and old forests!"

As he spoke, he chiseled Doduo's smooth forehead twice with his fingers.

Li Cunming leaned back in his chair, and said: "Take it easy, I have plenty of time. Xia Wanchun, bring the memorial sent by the General Secretary to the army. I will be here with Duoduo today."

About half an hour later, after reviewing several memorials, Li Cunming peeked at Duoduo and couldn't help but smile.

Duoduo was yawning profusely, tearing profusely, and his body was shaking like chaff. He stared straight at the opium cream on the table and kept swallowing his saliva.

Since smoking opium the day before yesterday, Dodo has never touched this thing again.The craving for cigarettes was too uncomfortable, and what was worse, he could only watch helplessly while the opium cream and the bong were so close at hand.

"Why, can't take it anymore?" Ren Qi smirked, took the opium ointment and dangled it in front of Duo Duo's eyes.

"Give me, give me a sip..." Duo Duo shouted.

"Heh, frown, I'll slap you once you frown."

Dodo was a little dazed, but couldn't bear the torment of the cigarette addiction, and frowned.

Ren Qi laughed loudly and said, "Didn't you just say that frowning is a son of a bitch? Haha, you are a son of a bitch! Don't write a letter of persuasion, eat opium, and go fart!"

As far as playing tricks, ten Duoduo is not Ren Qi's opponent.Ren Qi was overwhelmed with joy, and Duoduo wanted to cry but had no tears.

Li Cunming pretended to stand up and said, "It's getting late, let's go. Ren Qi, take the opium paste away..."

"Don't go, don't go..." Duoduo cried out urgently, and finally gave in, "I'll write, can't I write?"

"Bitch!" Li Cunming cursed and walked out, "Ren Qi, I'll leave the rest to you."

Gong Yonggu picked up the pen and paper, smiled and said to Duo Duo: "You son of a bitch, you can write whatever Master Xiao Xia says, and let Master Xiao Xia teach you the Chinese characters you don't know. If you dare to play tricks, you will feel better." of!"

An hour later, Xia Wanchun came to the main tent of the Chinese Army holding the letter of persuasion written by Duoduo, and said: "Your Majesty, the letter of persuasion to surrender has been written, please read it."

Li Cunming took it over and looked at it carefully twice, nodded and said: "It's okay, send someone to Jinan City. By the way, you go tell Gong Yonggu, send more people to guard Duoduo, and don't give him a chance to commit suicide."

……

Jinan City, government office.

Shang Kexi ate lunch and dealt with military affairs in the lobby.He kept rubbing his eyelids and said, "My eyelids have been twitching since yesterday afternoon. Is something going to happen?"

The eldest son Shang Zhi said: "Father, you worry too much, everything is safe and sound."

Shang Kexi shook his head and said: "Chongzhen's Northern Expedition is fierce. First he made a lot of trouble in Henan, and then rushed into Shandong territory. He used his troops with great speed. But after he arrived in Feicheng a few days ago, there was no movement. The sudden calm made me Doubtful."

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Is there any news from Prince Yu?"

Shang Zhi said: "Prince Yu attacked the Ming army's logistics troops in Anshan Town and got a lot of money. Later, after he led the troops to Changqing, he sent a few letters to report his safety. I think there will be no difference."

Shang Kexi spoke earnestly and earnestly: "Our Prince Yu, we don't have to talk about wars, he is a fierce general. But he has a bad temper and is addicted to cigarettes. I'm worried that he won't be able to hold his breath. Hey, although I am the commander in chief of the army , but Prince Yu has a special status, far above me, so it is really difficult to restrain him."

"To say something that shouldn't be said, at this critical moment, their Manchu people should be more anxious than us. Are they willing to keep abandoning the city and land, and then retreat to the outside of the customs? I think Prince Yu will put the overall situation first! Father, I Seeing that you worry too much and are too cautious, some things are beyond our control." Shang Zhi said.

"Confused, without the Manchu Qing court, how could we have the glory and wealth of our father and son?" Shang Kexi scolded.

Shang Kexi, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming are collectively known as the "Three Shun Kings", but Shang Kexi is different from Kong and Geng. Kong and Geng belong to opportunists, while Shang Kexi surrendered after experiencing a series of grievances. Manchu, so he is grateful to the Manchu court.

During the San Francisco Rebellion, Shang Zhixin seized Shang Kexi's military power and conspired with Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong.Shang Kexi piled up firewood in the backyard, intending to set fire to himself in a critical moment, which shows his loyalty to Manqing.

To be loyal to the Manchu Qing means to exterminate the Ming Dynasty, and it means not to treat the Han people as their own compatriots.This is indeed the case for Shang Kexi in history. He killed countless people in Guangzhou and created the tragic "Guangzhou Massacre".

In addition, Shang Ke's military talents are far superior to those of Kong and Geng.In history, Kong Youde was defeated by Li Dingguo and died by self-immolation, but Shang Kexi repelled Li Dingguo's army twice and saved Guangdong for the Qing Dynasty.

Just as he was talking, the prefect of Jinan Prefecture ran into the lobby in a panic and shouted: "The big thing is bad, Prince Pingnan, the big thing is bad..."

"What's the matter?"

"A Ming Dynasty envoy suddenly came from outside the city. He claimed that Prince Yu had fallen into the hands of the Ming army, and he wrote a letter of persuasion." The magistrate said while passing the letter of persuasion.

Shang Kexi frantically opened the letter and read it, it was indeed Duoduo's handwriting, immediately like a thunderclap, he fell down on the chair, opened his mouth but couldn't speak.

"Father, Father!" Shouted Shang Zhixin, and patted Shang Kexi on the back.

Shang Kexi breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a trembling voice, "Where's the envoy from the Ming Dynasty? Bring him to see me."

The magistrate ordered someone to bring the envoy to the lobby. The envoy recounted the battle in Boping River Valley in detail, and finally said: "I told the emperor that as long as you surrender in Kaesong, everything can be discussed. Duo's life, when our army reaches Jinan City, you will not be able to defend the city."

"What a big tone, believe it or not, I killed you?" Shang Zhixin drew out his knife.

Shang Kexi waved his hand and said: "Don't be rude. If the two countries are at war, I will not kill the envoy. Your envoy, please rest in the inn and let me think about it for a while before I make a reply. How about that?"

"Prince Pingnan, please make a decision early. This envoy is waiting for your news!" The envoy said goodbye and left.

When the envoy left, Shang Kexi patted the table and shouted: "How did the matter come to this point, how did it come to this point? Prince Yu, Prince Yu, this prince has repeatedly told you not to send troops easily, why didn't you listen?"

The magistrate cautiously asked tentatively, "King Pingnan, what do you think should be done next?"

Shang Kexi sat down dejectedly, closed his eyes and meditated for a while, and said: "Eat the king's salary, and share the worries for the king. Now that the sky is falling, this king has to hold on! Such an important matter must be submitted to the court and the regent." Wang reported that without a clear instruction from the regent, Kaesong must not surrender."

Then he wrote a memorial and handed it over to the magistrate, asking him to send someone eight hundred li to rush it to the capital.

When only the father and son were left in the lobby, Shang Kexi lowered his voice and said, "Zhi Xin, the time has come to test you and me as father and son! In extraordinary times, we should use extraordinary measures to deal with them. The way of man also heals his body."
