For several years, Zu Zepu has been a firm suppression faction, which not only won him a good reputation, but also made many people who also had a tough stance very fond of him. Now that he suddenly turned against him, he could not only not allow the Southeast moderates who held the pacification to regard him as their own people, but instead made the original allies dislike him and regarded Zu Zepu as a fickle villain traitor.

Although Zu Zepu could not get any benefits from turning against him, he still insisted on plagiarism without hesitation. Sony knew very well that he must have encountered great trouble, so he sincerely hoped for the plagiarism to succeed.

"Zu Zepu is afraid that he thinks that Jinan cannot be defended?" Sony made a scheming guess. Now Zu Zepu is vigorously advocating Deng Ming, obviously because he is worried that if the contract cannot be reached, he will encounter great dangers, such as losing territory and being punished by the court. Apart from this reason, Sony cannot think of any other dangers that will make Zu Zepu not care about suddenly changing camps.

Originally, Oboi also thought that Zu Zepu was simply competing for merit, and he still despised him in his heart. No matter how close his godson was, he could not compare with his own son. Besides, Prince Kang was surnamed Aisin Gioro. Even if the regent minister had a good relationship with him, he would still shout honestly in front of Jieshu: "Slave is kowtow to the master." This is like two dogs fighting for a bone. People can watch and laugh from the side, but when the dog and the young master snatch the bones, the servants dare not watch the young master jokes. They must take out the bones from the dog's mouth and then respectfully present them to the young master's mouth. Even the young master can still get this treatment.

However, now Oboi also thinks that Sony's analysis is correct. Deng Ming mostly landed in Shandong, while Zu Zepu was mostly defeated in the battle of Jiaoshui River. Maybe he had lost all his commando and Shandong's targets, otherwise he would not have been so desperate to defend Jinan that he begged the court to negotiate peace at all costs.

"Now there are 20,000 troops in Dengzhou Prefecture, surrounding more than 100,000 followers of Yu Qi's rioters. Deng Ming has occupied Huibuyi and is heading towards Qingzhou Prefecture." Zu Zepu did not report that Qingzhou Prefecture's city was in danger. In the memorial, in addition to boasting about his victory in Lianzhan, he also said that he had left behind elite soldiers and generals in Qingzhou Prefecture, and defended the city as solid as a rock. However, this memorial was issued by Zu Zepu after he returned to Jinan, so Oboi naturally speculated that Deng Ming was advancing towards Qingzhou.

Not long ago, Zu Zepu went to Qingzhou. If Qingzhou was not dangerous or was really solid, then Zu Zepu would definitely be in charge there to show the court that he was not afraid of a powerful enemy like Deng Ming, which could be regarded as taking responsibility for the failure of the Battle of Jiaoshuihe and making meritorious service. Zu Zepu could not believe that the court really believed that he had won. Since ancient times, he had not won the battle, but instead the front would retreat. His memorial only gave the court a step down and gave the court a reason not to punish him immediately. However, Zu Zepu ran back to Jinan from Qingzhou to Jinan to report, indicating that he felt that Qingzhou could not be defended and he had to return to Jinan before Deng Ming attacked, otherwise there would be an additional charge of escape at the last minute, or he would simply die in Qingzhou City.

"Zu Zepu thinks that if Deng Ming attacks Jinan, he will definitely die in the city," Suksaha continued Oboi's words. They were all familiar with these old Liao army's tricks. At that time, Guanning Iron Cavalry played with their Chongzhen Master. Unexpectedly, the feng shui has changed and changed to playing with Manchu Taijun: "He must have thrown away all the governors and raising the flags in Shandong, and he cannot save the army of Dengzhou, and he cannot hold on to Jinan even for a short period of time. In desperation, he shouted that he would send reinforcements to him immediately, or he would simply negotiate peace. After peace, he could slow down Deng Ming's offensive."

"Then let Zu Zepu and Deng Ming discuss peace." Sony made the decision. Wasn't Deng Ming's repeated delays? Deng Ming's performance in this regard can no longer be described as mentally retarded, but even the reactions of ants were not as good as those of ants. This bizarre phenomenon made Sony and Oboi a little puzzled. When they broke into the invasion, they also encountered soldiers from Shanxi who came to negotiate peace and gave the Qing army money and grain to buy peace.

However, Sony and others believed that Deng Ming should be different from the Later Jin robbers. At that time, the Later Jin was just for wealth, and Deng Ming was declared an imperial edict by the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty to be a royal family of the Ming Dynasty. He must have a higher pursuit than the officers and soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty, right? Besides, if Deng Ming was so strong, why didn’t he just seize the territory and collect taxes on his own? It was as if the Qing Dynasty had the ability to rule the area within the pass, and changed the plunder to conquest. In other words, Deng Ming was indeed inadequate, and like the Later Jin Dynasty, the goal was to make a fortune rather than restore the country, so that there would be such a situation. But if Deng Ming was not strong enough, how did he defeat the Qing army in succession? And now the Ming army can confront the Qing court's central army. Can this be considered insufficient strength?

The more he couldn't understand, the more he suspected that there was a conspiracy in it. However, the few ministers of the regents were not very clear. Deng Ming was not very interested in agricultural taxes. He was embarrassed by the hard-working farmers and endlessly quarreled with the gentry, so he collected a little tax. Deng Ming felt that this kind of income was too pitiful than monopoly business. If he wanted to seriously squeeze farmers to collect agricultural taxes, although Sichuan had few people, Deng Ming could definitely squeeze out more taxes than Huguang. However, if he wanted to withdraw a high proportion of taxes in the southeast, if he did not reform, the people would live in a miserable life. The reform would be unanimously resisted by the village chief from the gentry to the clerk to the clan and the village chief. Deng Ming felt that he had no spare time. Although selling bonds in the southeast governor was not as good as collecting taxes, it was cheaper and effort, and he did not have to bear administrative expenses and people's hearts.

But now that the Shandong Governor was calling pitifully, the Qing court could not have formed a reinforcement army to send him, so they had to learn the delaying strategy that everyone in the world was using against Deng Ming, at least to save Jinan first. Now it is confirmed that Deng Ming has landed in Shandong. Whether it is Zu Zepu from Jinan or Sony, Oboi, and Suksaha from Beijing, they all believe that Deng Ming must have brought a powerful army and will be the most elite part of the Ming army in this Eastern Expedition.

After giving Zu Zepu the power to act cheaply, Sony and others discussed how to deal with the crisis in Shandong. It is impossible to continue to send troops from Zhili. Jieshu and Ebilong have taken away many of Zhili's troops. If they send troops to Shandong, Zhili should have an empty city plan. Moreover, Deng Ming has traveled to the inside of Bohai Bay this time, who dares to say that he will not suddenly land near Tianjin again?

It seems that only Jieshu's army can be transferred back. Now Sony and the others are very dissatisfied with Ebilong and Li Guoying. Deng Ming has disappeared, and you are still stunned. There is only Kuidong left on the opposite side. The allied forces of Deng Ming, such as Chongming, dare not fight. This courage is too small. You have the face to urge the Southeast Governor to send more reinforcements to you. Jieshu is fine, he is still a fledgling child. His greatest ability is to scare the ministers of the regent with the "Kangxi" case. But Ebilong and Li Guoying are both old and do not even notice that the opponent's main force has disappeared.

The battle between the young master and the dog now seems to be revealed, and the facts prove that this bone does belong to Zu Zepu.

"Maybe you can fight the Kuidong Army first, and it will always be no harm in cutting off some of Deng Ming's wings." Since Deng Ming, a powerful enemy, was not in Jiangnan, he had already paid attention to the situation in Jiangnan and ran to Shandong all at once. Suksaha believed that this was a good opportunity to attack the Ming army's side: "Deng Ming used Kuidong and Chongming thieves as bait to attract our attention. Now if he returns to Shandong in a hurry, we will run back and forth. Deng Ming saw that the situation was not good, and we still couldn't catch him."

"Yes, we should eliminate these baits first," Obai agreed deeply. In recent years, the Kuidong Army and the Chongming Army have become stronger and stronger under the protection of Deng Ming. Although Beijing still doesn't know that Kuidong's armor is much more armored than Li Ding Kingdom, they are estimated to be many times stronger than five years ago: "And maybe this is Deng Ming's intention. He wants to use us to cut off dissidents to facilitate his unification of Sichuan. I heard that Wanxian is still in the hands of Yuan Zongdi, the Kuidong thief, and Deng Ming must be eyeing a piece of fat meat so close to his territory?"

After hearing what Oboi said, Suksaha was stunned: "Then let's strike hard on the Kuidong thieves and Chongming thieves?"

"Of course, and this is the opportunity to come to the door." Sony made the final decision: "But I heard that Yuan Zongdi did not come? Then let Ebilong take the Chongming thieves as the first goal and give priority to the elimination of Ma Fengzhi's troops as much as possible, so that Liang Huafeng also has the opportunity to recover Chongming; and the Kuidong thieves can naturally destroy as much as possible, but some people should be let go appropriately and tell them that Deng Ming leaked the news in Shandong and said that his friendly troops in Jiangnan were weak, so we could see the flaws."

"Is it to make the Kuidong thief think that Deng Ming wants to kill someone with a knife?"

"Yes, but we can't say that this is openly spoken, and we can't say that Deng Ming is hyping up, otherwise they will be suspicious. If we say that Deng Ming accidentally leaked the news, they would think so." Sony also believed that Deng Ming might have the intention to kill someone with a knife, but the Qing court certainly did not have the obligation to keep it a secret for him. If Yuan Zongdi and Deng Ming were able to be separated from each other, at least be wary of each other, it would be of course better for the Qing court.

Finally, it is still the question of how to appease Jieshu, and the same principle. Since the young master wants to bite the bones in the dog's mouth, the dog's grievances are certainly not within the scope of consideration. The Minister of the Auxiliary intends to announce that Deng Ming was frightened by Jieshu's reputation and left his friendly troops to flee Shandong. Soon Prince Kang will lead a large army to conquer Shandong, in order to wipe out the bandit Deng Ming in one fell swoop.

When he wrote the manifesto to inform the world and used it to find the Empress Dowager to stamp the seal, the Minister of the Regent sent a group of envoys to Shandong to test again whether Deng Ming could accept peace talks.
