Li Guoying's official career was prosperous after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty.

He was originally a general of Zuo Liangyu. After Zuo Liangyu died suddenly, he followed Zuo Menggeng and surrendered to Ajige.

After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he first followed Ajige to fight Shanxi, and then followed Haoge to fight Zhang Xianzhong.

It was during the attack on Sichuan that Li Guoying presented one of his concubines to Haoge, which won Haoge's favor and appreciation.

After Haoge became the regent, he reciprocated and supported Li Guoying to the position of governor of Sichuan. His official position suddenly jumped to the first person of the former lord Zuo Menggeng.

Only after becoming the governor Li Guoying realized that this position was so moist.

I am in a corner, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away. I am the owner of this place in Sichuan. I have whatever money and beauty want. Sometimes I don’t have to say anything at all, and someone will do things in your heart.

In addition to enjoying countless flattery every day, he is in charge of the life, death, honor and disgrace of the people. When he is happy, he praises others for a few words, and the bones on the body of the praised person will be lighter. He is very happy to see such ugly behavior. When he is unhappy, he just grabs someone and slaps him twice, and spits on his face. The person who is beaten must be timid and smiles all over his face. Resist? Dare?! No matter who you are, I am unhappy and willing to beat someone. Who dares to resist? If you resist, kill you.

If you get money, you will be as rich as a mountain of gold and silver in the house; if you act recklessly, you will be happy as you do. Isn’t this the same life as the gods?

But suddenly one day, someone told him that such a day was about to end, so how could Li Guoying not be depressed?

The news that Zhu Youlang was personally expeditioned, and Li Guoying was like an ant in a hot pan, restless.

Zuo Menggeng made a play of surrendering, and wanted to make great contributions. In Li Guoying's opinion, Zuo Menggen must have eaten too much lard and kept his mind stuck.

How can I do that?

Can't you see the general trend of the world clearly? Can you stop the steps of the Ming Dynasty's ZTE?

We must understand the general trend and change the course and make it easier. Not only can we save our lives, but we can also ensure the continuation of wealth and glory.

Li Guoying made up his mind to surrender to Ming Dynasty.

But he, who claims to be smart, wants to play a different surrender.

He brought Lu Guangzu, the trusted subordinate, and the two discussed secretly.

"Guangzu, I want to change my course, what do you think?" Li Guoying said his plans without temptation.

Lu Guangzu was his old subordinate who had been with him for many years. He had a close relationship with him. He protected a book in front of Haoge and promoted Lu Guangzu to the position of general of Sichuan.

Lu Guangzu was also loyal to him, and he looked at his eyes and acted in everything. He often respected him, such as Sichuan girls and rare treasures, and sent them to the mansion many times.

What else can he hide from such a subordinate who obeys his will?

"Sir, do you still need to ask about Beizhi? Beizhi's mind is simple, so how can you stand tall and look far? If you have anything, just give me instructions." Sure enough, Lu Guangzu was very humble.

"Guangzu, the reason why I plan to surrender to Ming Dynasty is to see the general trend of the world. Emperor Zhu is very powerful. He has won such a large foundation in Jiangnan in just a few years. Even Prince Zheng, who has been through the battlefield for a long time, cannot touch Emperor Zhu Youlang. Only 200,000 elite soldiers can be touched by Emperor Zhu. We only have 20,000 people, and they are all Han soldiers. Isn't this a touch of stone with an egg? Besides, the Qing Dynasty is no longer able to do so. It's going downhill. We are Han people, so there is no need to be loyal ministers and filial sons of the Tartars. Do you think so?" Li Guoying still said the reason for his surrender.

"Yes, yes, what lord sees is that I can't understand these things." Lu Guangzu nodded like a chicken and whispered rice, and he never forgot to raise Li Guoying and lower his figure at any time.

"Okay, before Emperor Zhu came, you should send troops to strengthen the walls and clear the fields and strengthen the city defense." Li Guoying ordered.

"Ah? Sir, please forgive me for being stupid, I didn't understand."

After hearing Li Guoying's inconsistent words, Lu Guangzu was stunned and wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. So he shook his head hard: "Sir, I'm not deaf in my ears."

"Hahaha... Guangzu, you heard it right. If we want to get favor from Emperor Zhu after surrender, we have to do this." Li Guoying laughed at Lu Guangzu's stupidity.

"I still didn't understand it, please make clear."

"You think, we are not the confidants of Emperor Zhu, but the surrendered general. If we surrender like this, what good fruit can we get? The governor and general position should not even be thought about. Now, Emperor Zhu is not the time when he was short of soldiers. At that time, Li Chengdong became the commander of the right army with 15,000 soldiers, and is now even named Marquis. Now Emperor Zhu has a lot of talents and no shortage of civil servants and generals. In this case, what can we do?"

"so……?"

"So you have to fight. The more determined the fight, the more tenacious the resistance, the more uncomfortable Emperor Zhu is. At that time, let's reduce it again. Did you think the weight has increased?"

"High, high, really high. Is this called "I'm trying to indulge in the face of being captured?"

"Hahaha, you guy, use all kinds of things randomly, that's called playing hard to get. This official is called 'You can only seek it in a bend, not in a straightforward way', do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand. Anyway, it's all for the sake of life after surrender. Whether it's 'seeking in the song' or 'take straight', it's all for us to make the most profits."

"Yes, that's what it means. I have no other requests, I just hope that I can still take the position of governor of Sichuan after the surrender of the Ming Dynasty. As for you, just sit firmly at the position of general of Sichuan, and don't have other ideas, other ideas are delusions."

"That's right, that's right, just the brain of Beizhi, that is, with the adults, he can become the general of Sichuan. If he is not promoted by the adults, Beizhi will be a guerrilla life. If he becomes a general, he will burn the incense for eight lifetimes."

Lu Guangzu nodded vigorously and expressed his agreement with Li Guoying's statement.

But he said in his heart: "Not necessarily."

"Sir, it turns out that the arms are very powerful, such as grenades, mines, and other veiled guns. Can we defend them? Don't steal chickens and lose rice without losing it. Surrender is very different from being captured." Lu Guangzu asked again.

"Guangzu, don't worry. Don't listen to people's talk nonsense. It's all intentional exaggerated by the defeated generals to reduce their crimes of defeat. These are all common tricks in the officialdom, not uncommon. If it is as powerful as the legendary, why can Prince Zheng surround Nanchang and Ganzhou for so long? Needless to say, landmines have to be buried underground and there is no need to attack the city. He has to throw grenades on the top of the city, right? Before they could throw them over, our bows and arrows shot them to death. What are you afraid of? There are steel guns, just let the soldiers hide behind the walls, and they are still afraid of being beaten?"

"So, as long as the city has sufficient food, we can fight as long as we want. Wait for Emperor Zhu to send someone to persuade the surrender. Then we will be able to make the conditions."

“High, really high!”
