Ming Zuo

Chapter 1289
Bian Dashou, a native of Renqiu.

Where is Ren Qiu?

Cangzhou.

As the closest place between Daming and Xia Kingdom, despite the confrontation between the two armies, the communication on the surface has never been interrupted.

If people from Daming territory enter Xia Kingdom, Daming will not stop them; similarly, if people from Xia Kingdom enter Daming, Xia Kingdom will not stop them.

It is precisely because of this that Cangzhou has long been infiltrated by Xia Guo like a sieve.

As an official, Bian Dashou was already on the list of Xia Guo's intelligence department, although he was unknown.

Under the operation of the Ministry of Intelligence, the business of Bian Dashou's family took off, and they really made a lot of money.

Bian Dashou was an official in Shaanxi, and his heart had long since changed color.

No one knew that his master was a staff member of the intelligence department.

When he received Wang Qiaonian's order to dig Li Zicheng's ancestral grave, it was the staff of the Ministry of Intelligence who stopped him.

The situation was passed on to Wu Jingxian, director of the Shaanxi Department of the Ministry of Intelligence.

It just so happened that the Ministry of Intelligence sent Fu Zonglong's letter persuading Wang Qiaonian.

Wu Jingxian asked Bian Dashou to rush over to meet Wang Qiaonian together.

"Bianming Mansion, what do you intend to do?"

Seeing that Bian Dashou did not carry out his order, but ran to Xi'an instead, Wang Qiaonian felt something was wrong, so he couldn't help asking.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Wu Jingxian will naturally not embarrass Bian Dashou, but take over.

"Master Wang, you must blame the Bianming Mansion at this time. Wu Jingxian, director of the Shaanxi Department of Xia Xia State Intelligence Department, was ordered to come and point out a way for Lord Wang."

Hearing that he was from the Xia Kingdom, Wang Qiaonian's expression changed drastically, and he stood up hastily.

"Rebels, how dare you show yourself in front of Benxian? Are you not afraid that Benxian will order you to be brought to justice?"

Different from his embarrassment, Wu Jingxian is still there.

"Master Wang, I came here to make friends, not to make enemies. I believe Master Wang also has this intention, and I will definitely not embarrass you."

Wang Qiaonian's face was ugly, and he gave Bian Dashou a bitter look.

He still didn't understand that the magistrate of Mizhi might have surrendered to the enemy.

"I have nothing to say to the rebellious officials and thieves."

When Wu Jing came here, he had already thought of countermeasures, and he didn't speak directly to persuade him.

"Master Wang wants to emulate Su Chijie and write historical stories. I will naturally admire him very much. The Ming Dynasty has more than two hundred people, so I should have some loyal ministers and filial sons. I am only entrusted by others."

With that said, Wu Jing first handed over Fu Zonglong's letter.

Wang Qiaonian instinctively felt that this was a letter of persuasion, so he didn't want to read it and was very curious.

In the end, I cheered myself up and felt that I would not be deceived, so I opened the letter anyway.

One can imagine Wang Qiaonian's state of mind when he saw that it was written by Fu Zonglong.

He and Fu Zonglong are close friends, and he knows that Fu Zonglong is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, chasing fame and fortune.

If there is anyone in the Great Ming Dynasty who can be more determined than him and sacrifice his life for the national calamity, it must be Fu Zonglong.

However, the cold reality is that Fu Zonglong actually took refuge in Xia Guo.

Such a steadfast person betrayed Daming, which made Wang Qiaonian's heart full of chills.

Even though he had already felt that his name was declining, and it seemed that there was no way to recover from it, but it was so unacceptable that the situation was imminent.

Fu Zonglong made it very clear in his letter.

He switched to Xia Kingdom because he didn't want the land of Shenzhou to fall into the hands of ignorant people. Now looking at the world, only Xia Kingdom can save the people.

Since there is still hope, the useful body cannot be easily discarded.

It doesn't matter if Ming Dynasty dies.If the world is not dead, we must continue to work hard for it.

Fu Zonglong quickly accepted Xia Guo's ideas and made a good distinction between the feudal dynasty and the country.

"Now that Yang Wenyue has been defeated, there are less than one in ten who can still fight in Henan. Lord Wang thinks to himself, can he have the art of returning to heaven? This trip to the Central Plains is just to be buried with Ming. Lord Wang might as well go to Xia Kingdom for a walk , Take a look, if you still feel that the world is hopeless, I won’t be able to seize people’s ambitions.”

Wang Qiaonian's will was shaken.

He already knew that going to Henan would not end well, and at the same time, he had seen enough of the darkness of Daming.

But there is one thing he doesn't know.

"I have heard that the Xia Kingdom is tyrannical and has the ambition to reshape the world. But why is it trapped in a corner, despite the endless wars, and countless people mourning and dying in vain?"

Wang Qiaonian's greatest wish is to hope that the world will return to peace.

Xia Guo obviously has strong strength, but why does he watch the flames of war rise and fall, regardless of the life and death of the people?

It can be said that if this question is not clear, he probably won't join the Xia Kingdom.

But with such a big subject, how does Wu Jingxian, a director, know about the national strategy?
With no other choice, Wu Jingxian had no choice but to come up with his own opinions.

"The chaos in the world is not in one part of the Central Plains, but everywhere. However, all parts are integrated into one, complicated and complicated. Either we, Xia Kingdom, do not take action, and if we take action, it will definitely be a one-off battle. The difficulties in each, return to Mr. Wang's explanation." Know."

Wang Qiaonian didn't know the answer.

He was lost in thought.

Thirty thousand troops gathered in Xi'an, and the people could not have enough to eat, and the horses did not have enough fodder.Morale is low and soldiers have no fighting spirit.

The three generals He Renlong, Zheng Jiadong, and Niu Chenghu waited on the left and right, but they did not wait for Wang Qiaonian, nor did they wait for the order to set off, and Monk Zhanger couldn't figure it out.

Seeing the days go by and the army really ran out of food and grass, the three of them had an urgent discussion and hurried to the city to pay a visit to Wang Qiaonian.

As a result, when I arrived at the Governor's Yamen, it looked like it had been looted.

The open gate is unguarded, and various documents are scattered everywhere.Many servants ran back and forth like headless chickens, and some even secretly hid things and wanted to escape.

"What happened?"

He Renlong quickly grabbed a small official and questioned him.

The little official was so frightened that he babbled and explained the reason.

"Master Bingxian left without saying goodbye, and there are no other officials in the mansion. Everyone said that Li Zicheng is calling, and it is important to run for your life."

Wang Qiaonian is gone!
The news that the new trilateral governor Wang Qiaonian had run away reached the capital, and Chongzhen vomited blood on the spot.

There were a total of three governors, but two of them ran away.

There is another one who surrendered to the enemy and cheated the city, not to mention losing the battle.

If it weren't for the fact that the defenders were still capable, shooting him to death would have unpredictable consequences.

"In such a huge court, isn't there a single loyal minister?"

Amidst Chongzhen's heart-piercing roar, the officials just kowtowed and no one responded.

Daming is already like this, who will be this loyal minister?

See what happens to loyal ministers.

Autumn and winter come, and the frost and cold cut the bones.

The Ming army, surrounded by several lonely cities, gradually came to an end.

food……

It was eaten up long ago.

After that, there was not even soil to eat, and the hungry soldiers had to eat their dead comrades.

But since it is impossible to break through, this struggle is meaningless.

They looked to the south all day long, eager for the reinforcements from the court to arrive.

But the imperial court could no longer form any army.

February 28 was not a very auspicious day.

Feeling that the time was right, the Qing army finally launched a general offensive.
