Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

However, at that moment of loss of concentration, Zuo Maodi felt a shocking wave of emotion in his heart:

‘Oh my God!

Did your Majesty really annihilate the Qing army?

That's a full 25 troops! ’

As the chief of the mission in charge of negotiations with the Qing court, Zuo Maodi naturally knew how many people the Qing army sent westward.

Before entering the capital, he received the last message from secret agents Ruan Dajue and Ma Shiying——

The Qing army prepared no less than 25 troops, but they kept it secret but called it [-] to the outside world.

Although the main war faction in the Hongguang court could not overwhelm the Jiangnan civil servant group...

However, for being able to become the second largest party in the imperial court, their strength is not too weak.

Even though the Qing court tried its best to conceal the number of troops, "upper-class people" who had reached a certain level could clearly judge it.

The main war faction in Jiangnan gave him a very clear judgment on the military situation:

The actual number of troops dispatched by Dorgon was at least 20, and is estimated to be more than 25.

Dorgon's goal was to occupy Li Zicheng in Shanshan.

As the most outstanding diplomat, Zuo Maodi understood that the Qing army's move was most in line with the general trend of conquering the world.

As long as Shanshaan is in hand and the Qing court has no worries, it can start to conquer the world!

This is guided by a strategic master!

Based on his understanding of the Qing court, there is no doubt that the person who proposed this strategy must be Hong Chengchou!

This matter has been pressing deep in Zuo Maodi's heart.

Every outstanding diplomat must be the best strategic master.

Only by understanding the internal and external environment and the impact of mountains and terrain on the country can we do a good job in major diplomatic matters.

Zuo Maodi could not sleep at night, fearing that the Qing army had really completed its strategic layout.

Based on his understanding of the Southern Ming Dynasty, once the Qing army really takes control of Shanxi and Shaanxi, Jiangnan will be over...

But he never thought that the major issue weighing on his heart would be accidentally tricked out by him when Li Jiantai persuaded him to surrender!

His Majesty the Emperor actually interrupted the Qing court's ambition to devour the world!

Hahaha!

happy!

At this moment, Zuo Maodi wished he could drink for three days!

Even if he was asked to die immediately, he was willing.

Zuo Maodi couldn't restrain the joy on his face.

After learning about this shocking event, he didn't even care about his own life or death.

So what if you're dead?

When I die, I just lose a person named Zuo Maodi!

I die……

Even though I went to 18 levels of hell, I still died with a smile!

Zuo Maodi looked up to the sky and laughed:

"Hahaha!

Ha ha ha ha! "

This is the life and death of the world...

This is the survival of the Han family...

This is a major event for the preservation of our ancestors’ homeland!

In an instant, Zuo Maodi understood why Emperor Chongzhen chose to go to Nanyang Basin.

Only that place of the Four Battles can quickly penetrate the Qinling Pass and cut off the tentacles of the Qing army!

He is worthy of being a ruthless member of the Zhu family who can still firmly hold on to the imperial power despite the 17 years of disaster in the world!

……

Zuo Maodi got out the news he wanted to know.

And Li Jiantai's face had darkened into the color of pig liver.

He snorted coldly, covered his face and retreated.

finished calf...

This time, not only did he fail to fulfill the instructions of the emperor's father and regent, but he also allowed Zuo Maodi to find out the truth of the imperial court...

I am done……

At this moment, the royal father and the regent... still don't know how to punish himself!

As soon as Li Jiantai walked into the courtyard, Zuo Maodi walked out of the reception room laughing.

However, with just one glance, the smile on his face disappeared.

It turned out that just now, an attaché of the mission had been persuaded by Li Jiantai's attaché to shave his head immediately.

Zuo Maodi was furious and ordered the man to be captured.

The attendant scratched his neck:

"Mr. Zuo doesn't know how the world is changing?

The Qing court replaced the Ming Dynasty, which was the reincarnation of heaven.

I am abandoning the darkness and turning to the light..."

"shut up!"

Zuo Maodi was furious.

He scolded with contempt:

"Countries rise and fall——

The fortunes of the country rise and fall.

In heaven!

Moral integrity——

It is a great honor to be a minister.

mind!

Someone on the left doesn't know the ups and downs of the country, but he knows the duties of a minister!

Sir, do you know the rise and fall? I don't know - do you know your integrity? "

When Zuo Mao spoke for the first time, the attendant choked and was speechless.

Zuo Maodi pointed to the main hall.

On the wall is a picture of Su Wu herding sheep painted by Zuo Maodi.

This is a self-portrait that Zuo Maodi used to clarify his ambitions and express his thoughts after he was placed under house arrest.

The picture shows Su Wu being imprisoned in Beihai for decades, always loyal to the Han Dynasty and never surrendering.

In fact, the face in the painting was painted by Zuo Maodi looking at himself in the mirror...

On the left and right sides, a couplet was written:

"Born as a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty,

He died as a loyal ghost of the Ming Dynasty. "

When the attendant saw this picture, he immediately became paralyzed and couldn't stop begging.

I hope Zuo Maodi can spare his life...

Zuo Mao waved his hand for the first time and said to his entourage:

"Come here, this person betrays the country, I will kill him with a stick!"

After being trapped for more than half a year, most of the people still guarding Zuo Maodi at this time were those who had not surrendered.

As for the followers, they were already impressed by Zuo Maodi's integrity.

Who says little people don’t know loyalty?

The country is ruined and the country is in turmoil...

The unknown heroes who stand up to the enemy's guns with their thin chests are all over the mountains and plains!

Zuo Mao gave the first order, and his followers rushed forward.

In front of Li Jiantai, he beat the attendant to death.

"you!"

Li Jiantai looked at the blood splattering and the surrendered officials who had just been beaten to death. He pointed angrily at Zuo Maodi, but was so angry that he could not speak.

Li Jiantai walked away with a puff of his sleeves.

Not long after, someone came again.

But Zuo Maodi repeatedly refused to surrender, and even being imprisoned for more than half a year could not change Zuo Maodi's mind.

Dorgon gave him strong medicine.

The person who came here was none other than Zuo Maodi's cousin.

At the beginning, Zuo Maotai surrendered to Li Zicheng and was appointed "Miyun Defense Envoy".

The city of Beijing was destroyed, and Zuo Maodi's mother was in the capital.

Zuo Maodi could not be picked up, so his cousin surrendered to Li Zicheng.

Zuo Maodi wrote to his cousin and asked him to take care of him.

Not long after, his old mother died of illness, and Zuo Maotai was buried in his hometown of Laiyang, Shandong Province with son's rites, wearing linen and mourning, and carrying a coffin.

For Zuo Maodi, Zuo Maotai is not only his cousin, but also has the great kindness of adopting and burying his mother.

The two looked at each other, silent for a long time.

Zuo Maotai's lips moved and he was about to speak.

Who knows-

"Pfft!"

Zuo Maodi immediately knelt down on the ground, bowed three times, and said:

"Brother protected my mother from the war;

When my mother and I are gone;

When my mother was buried and I couldn't take care of each other...

This is a great favor!

There is nothing I can do to repay him, I can only kowtow three times. "

Zuo Mao first kowtowed three times meticulously, and then slowly stood up.

However, a pair of eyes looking at Zuo Maotai were a bit decisive and a bit sad...

If you look carefully, you can see that there is still a bit of hidden...shameless!

Zuo Maotai looked complicated and sighed:

"Zhongji (Zuo Maodi), you really can't..."
