Liu Liangzuo analyzed the pros and cons, and finally decided to surrender.
Damn it, why should you hang yourself from a tree if you are not fucking with anyone?
No matter how you look at it now, the Qing Dynasty has a great chance of ruling the world.
Continuing to be the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty is a waste of time.
Sooner or later, he will not be dragged along to be buried with him.
The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were invincible, and Liu Liangzuo didn't think he could withstand even one charge from the Eight Banners.
As for the Texas victory, he didn't believe it anyway.
The generals of the Ming Dynasty were very good at writing victory reports.
I remember that when Yuan Chonghuan was in charge of the Liao Dynasty, he could report victory to the court by beheading two hundred people, and called him the Great Victory of Ningjin.
Liu Liangzuo admired this person.
Nothing else, this face is really thicker than the city wall.
If compared with the Ningjin Victory, Liu Liangzuo believed that the Dezhou Victory was probably fabricated by the guard Qin Gongming himself to fool the court.
The Qing army may have really attacked Dezhou, but after seeing that the city of Dezhou was fortified, they might have taken the initiative to retreat, and they didn't use any force at all.
After all, the Eight Banners had few soldiers, and they were all very valuable, so how could they be wasted in this kind of siege battle?
Perhaps the defenders of Dezhou were lucky enough to kill dozens of Qing soldiers, maybe one or two hundred at most, but in the end they exaggerated their success tenfold and reported success to the court.
In Liu Liangzuo's opinion, this must be the case.
As for the head, it’s not easy to get it right.
Isn't killing good people and taking credit for what the Ming generals are best at?
At least Liu Liangzuo was very good at it.
Although he had almost no chance of fighting against the Qing army, he suppressed thieves many times.
Although Liu Liangzuo was a dignified commander-in-chief, he did not have many elite soldiers under his command.
Facing the powerful peasant army such as Li Zicheng, he could only run away with his head in his arms.
But the court still had to explain, so Liu Liangzuo ordered his men to loot one or two villages, massacre all the people in the village, and behead them and send them to the capital to claim credit.
Although the bandit's head is not as valuable as Donglu's, it can still be exchanged for some money.
Liu Liangzuo could muddle through and get rewards from the court, so why not As for Emperor Chongzhen in Beijing, it’s not the people below who report anything.
The emperor is nothing I will lie to you when I should lie to you, without any discussion.
Deceiving superiors and concealing subordinates is an important skill that needs to be mastered in officialdom.
Therefore, this Qin Gongming is probably a fellow-minded person.
The good news was so exciting that the little emperor in Nanjing was fooled into thinking that the Ming army could really defeat the Qing army.
Bah, since the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming army lost nine out of ten battles against the Qing army.
It was a complete defeat.
Although the Qin family has some prestige in Sichuan, in the final analysis, they are just a chieftain.
How much trouble can they make?
This little emperor is also an extremely stupid person.
He actually wants to defend Shandong.
Is there any danger in Shandong that can be defended?
Can it be defended?
If Shandong could defend it, why did Liu Zeqing rush from Shandong to Nanzhili in the first place?
You must know that that guy is the commander-in-chief of Shandong Province.
How many more days can we survive by sticking to Jianghuai and sending troops to Shandong to die?
Is it because the old man is impatient to hang himself?
Although Liu Liangzuo did not read much, he also knew how to allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed.
Donglu is not stupid.
Seeing that the Ming army has occupied Shandong, he will definitely send a large army to fight sooner or later.
At that time, when Kong Youde and other heavy troops arrived, and the red cannons were swung there, Dezhou City could still be defended.

Those who understand the current affairs are distinguished, so Liu Liangzuo naturally did not want to be buried with the small court of the Ming Dynasty.
What's more, the little emperor didn't treat him well.
Why did Zuo Liangyu, Zheng Zhilong, Gao Jie, Huang Degong and others all get promoted to officials, but he and Liu Zeqing didn't?
If I object to you on this point, there will be no discussion.
Look at the seniors who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.
Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming were named King Gongshun, King Zhishun, and King Huaishun respectively.
After Shen Zhixiang was surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was also named Xushun Gong.
Which of the Tong family and Zu family is not famous?
Even Wu Sangui, who had just surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, was named King of Pingxi.
Of course, Wu Sangui’s contribution to Shanhaiguan is indeed great.
This also reminded Liu Liangzuo that he must give a meeting gift when he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.
The bigger this meeting gift is, the better, because the amount of rewards obtained is directly related to it.
Liu Liangzuo believed that just bringing 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers was not enough to show his sincerity, so he planned to capture Shandong as a meeting gift to the Qing regent.
Now that Gao Jie is on his Northern Expedition, the Shence Army is stationed throughout Shandong.
This is an army that the emperor has just organized and trained, and its combat effectiveness must be very limited.
Liu Liangzuo believed that as long as he led his army to attack, he would be able to defeat Shen Ce's army and capture the cities in Shandong.
As for Qin Gongming's department, they will be dealt with last.
Once Dezhou is captured, Shandong's northern gate will be in its hands.
Liu Liangzuo could then send people to Beijing to ask the Qing government to take over Shandong.
Presumably the Qing regent would be very happy when he heard the news.
To be on the safe side, Liu Liangzuo decided to send troops together with Liu Zeqing.
Both of them were ignored by the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally they hit it off.
Liu Zeqing was originally the commander-in-chief of Shandong.
After the fall of Shenjing, he fled all the way to Nanzhili and was very familiar with the terrain of Shandong.
He suggested bypassing Xuzhou and going straight to Jiningzhou.
This is exactly what Liu Liangzuo meant.
An army of 40,000 to 50,000 men marched towards Xuzhou in a mighty manner, so frightened that Li Ben huddled in the city and did not dare to go out.
Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing led their troops to bypass Pei County and go north along Nanyang Lake, passing through Huling City, Guting Town, and the entrance of Danchang, until they reached the foot of Jining Prefecture City.
Liu Zeqing proposed to deceive the city gates into opening in the name of reinforcing Shandong and capture this important town without any blood.
Liu Liangzuo readily agreed.
He sent people to call the door, but to no avail, he wrote a letter, tied it to an arrow, and shot it into the city.
Unexpectedly, the garrison of Jining Prefecture was cautious and refused to open the city gate no matter what.
Instead, he dispatched troops to set up defense at the top of the city.
Liu Liangzuo was furious when he saw this.
He can not play Xuzhou, but he has to play Jiningzhou.
The reason is very simple.
Although Xuzhou is short of troops, Li Benzhen is still a famous general.
If he forces an attack on the city, he will definitely suffer losses.
The soldiers under his command were Liu Liangzuo's capital for surrendering to the Qing Dynasty.
If the capital was less, the rewards would naturally be less.
Besides, his goal is to capture Shandong.
Jining Prefecture is an important town along the canal.
It controls Xu and Pei in the south and Wen and Si in the north.
It is a choke point.
By capturing Jining Prefecture, we can control the southernmost end of the Shandong section of the Grand Canal.

It will also be more convenient to use the canal to transport grain and baggage in the future.
Although Jianghuai's materials cannot be imported, materials in Shandong can be transported.
When the Qing government takes over Shandong, they will definitely want to see a complete Shandong.
At least the canal line from Linqing Prefecture to Jining Prefecture must be in hand.
Therefore, Liu Liangzuo will never leave Jining Prefecture as a hidden danger.
The first battle to Shandong must not only be fought, but also fought beautifully
