"I will meet the emperor, long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

"Ma Aiqing asked him to get up, come and give him a seat."

"Long live thanks." Ma Shiying stood up and sat down on the chair brought by the eunuch. His thoughts were turned on. The emperor suddenly sent someone to ask him to discuss something important. What is the important matter?

"Ma Aiqing, I have carefully considered the strategy of using the enemy to suppress the enemy in the past few days, and I have just received reports from Guangchang Bo, Xingping Bo, Dongping Bo, Ningnan Hou and others. They all agreed with the strategy of his. My dear is worthy of being a pillar of the country and has a profound vision. I decided to accept this proposal."

Ma Shiying's head buzzed and exploded. Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing and others reported to the emperor, and it was about the strategy of using the enemy to suppress the enemy. Why did he not know why he did not know that without the support of the four towns in Jiangbei, he would fight against the Donglin Party and its lackey Zuo Liangyu.

"Ma Aiqing, Ma Aiqing, what's wrong with you?" Wang Fu'en said that Ma Shiying would definitely be proud of this incident, but unexpectedly he looked like he was in a state of dismay.

Hearing Wang Fu call him, Ma Shiying came back to his senses: "The emperor forgives his sins, the old minister has just been distracted."

"Oh, what can make Ma Aiqing distract? I want to hear it."

"In fact, I am also considering what the emperor said a few days ago that the Qing barbarians are also a great enemy of our dynasty. Borrowing the barbarians is like drinking poison to quench thirst. I am confused and have not seen the dangers of pleading the barbarians. I still need to think twice about this matter. I am not careful in thinking, so I ask the emperor to punish me."

Wang Fu was stunned when he heard this. It's good that you proposed the robbers and the robbers. Now, he forced me to agree with a few generals, but you couldn't say it. It turns out that he really didn't take the emperor into your eyes. Wang Fu's face became more and more angry, and even the clay Buddha was angry.

Ma Shiying complained secretly. Of course, what he said just now was not his truth, but he was unwilling to be used. It was pointed out that the memorials of Liu Liangzuo and others actually had nothing to do with him. Unexpectedly, the emperor's misunderstanding of him was deeper. However, with his status, he could not clearly say that he did not know what Liu Liangzuo and others reported. It was not that he, the chief assistant, was incompetent.

"Stop the anger, stop the anger." Wang Fu thought silently in his heart several times, and the anger on his face was suppressed: "Since Ma Aiqing thinks so, why should he explain it to Guangchang Bo, Xingping Bo and others?"

Ma Shiying hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, such a major event should not be done in a hurry. It is better to summon Guangchang Bo, Xingping Bo and others to the capital to discuss."

Ma Shiying's words hit Wang Fu's thoughts. Both Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing have tens of thousands of subordinates. To eliminate them, they can only be transferred to the capital. Without a suitable reason to cooperate with Ma Shiying, it is difficult not to arouse their doubts.

"Okay, I will immediately draft an order to let my beloved ministers enter the capital. I also know that the soldiers on the front line have worked hard. After the beloved ministers enter the capital, I will give out 500,000 taels of Nenu silver to reward them."

Although Wang Fu had more than 2 million taels of silver and more than 100,000 taels of gold, he spent nearly one million taels to give Tian Cheng to buy things in Macau. He had to spend more than one million taels to form the Yulin Army and took out another 500,000 taels of silver. The inner treasury was almost empty, but the money was not spent. Of course, this money was not directly rewarded to Liu Zeqing and others, but after killing these people, it was used to appease their subordinates.

Of course, Ma Shiying didn't know Wang Fu's plan. He was surprised to hear that the emperor, who always regarded money as his life, was willing to take out silver to reward the army: "The emperor is wise. If the soldiers of the three armies hear it, they will be grateful to the emperor and fight bravely to repay the emperor's kindness."

A few days later, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, Gao Jie and Huang Degong, who were stationed in Shou County, Huai'an, Guazhou and Zhenzhou, received the orders to enter Beijing one after another. Only Zuo Liangyu received the orders because he was far away in Wuchang.

At present, the Qing army and Shun army were fighting in Shanxi and Shaanxi. Both sides did not care about the small court just established in the south for the time being. Even Shandong and Henan provinces were in anarchy. When they heard that Li Zicheng was defeated, the people of Shandong and Henan provinces drove out the officials sent by the Dashun Dynasty. Whether it was the Qing army or the Hongguang Dynasty, no one sent to accept it, which left many places in the two places in a daze. Originally, if the Hongguang Dynasty could send an army out, they could obtain the territory of the two provinces without any effort.

However, whether it was Liu Liangzuo or Liu Zeqing, they were worried that they would encounter the Qing army when they entered the two provincial capitals and were unwilling to move. The court had to send Gao Jie to the court. Gao Jie envied the prosperity of Yangzhou and wanted to arrange his family in Yangzhou before going to war. However, Gao Jie's army's military discipline and Liu Liangzuo were half a dozen, burning, killing and looting outside Yangzhou city, angering the gentry of Yangzhou. After Gao Jie came, Yangzhou closed the city gates and prevented Gao Jie's family from entering the city. Even if Shi Kefa ordered it, it would be useless.

Here you can see Shi Kefa's embarrassment. Although he was the commander of Huaiyang and had entered the cabinet, he could not order warlords like the four towns in Jiangbei, or even the rich gentry and family in Yangzhou. Gao Jie was ashamed and angry, and ordered an attack on Yangzhou City. Facing the Qing army, many cities in the Ming Dynasty did not fight. However, facing Gao Jie's attack, Yangzhou City was united. Gao Jie was not able to advance for more than a month. Shi Kefa had to go to Gao Jie's military camp to persuade him, which made Gao Jie unable to move to Guazhou. The strategy of advancing north was stopped. After the Qing army recovered, it could easily capture Shandong and Henan provinces.

Because there were Henan and Shandong provinces as barriers, there was no war on the front line at this time, but Liu Liangzuo still had doubts about recruiting himself to Beijing.

Liu Liangzuo often rode a colorful horse, known as Huama Liu. When Beijing was captured by Li Zicheng, Liu Liangzuo was stationed in Zhengyang, Henan. He was invited by Ma Shiying, who was the governor of Fengyang at that time, to lead his troops to enter Nanzhisu. He was tragic along the way. When the people of Linhuai heard that Liu Liangzuo was coming, they were strong and defended. Liu Liangzuo was furious and led his troops to attack the city. Unexpectedly, he could not capture it. After Ma Shiying persuaded him, Liu Liangzuo moved his troops to Shou County.

He called his subordinates Zhang Tianlu, Zhang Tianfu, Fang Anguo and others, handed the imperial edict to everyone to see before saying, "Everyone, this time the emperor summoned me to the capital, and only said that he would discuss the use of the enemy to pacify the enemy. Is there any reason for this?"

Zhang Anguo first said: "Even if the Grand Marshal is at ease entering the capital, if it weren't for the Grand Marshal, how could the emperor ascend to the great treasure? Besides, the general is strong and powerful. With this as a shield, how could the court do anything to the Grand Marshal? The emperor rarely takes out a private thirst to reward the army. If the Grand Marshal doesn't go, wouldn't it be cheap for others?"

"Yes, Grand Marshal, what's the matter with fear in the court? It's a pity that these 500,000 taels of silver are not divided." Zhang Tianlu, Zhang Tianfu and others also agreed.

The court rated Liu Liangzuo's military force was 30,000, and the military pay was paid accordingly. In fact, Liu Liangzuo's military force was far more than this. For his own safety, these warlords desperately pulled people into the army. Liu Liangzuo had 30,000 horse army and 70,000 soldiers, and more than 100,000 people were combined. The extra military pay was naturally insufficient. They could only rely on exploiting the local area and even robbing the troops.
