Chapter 12 Wu Sangui, give them a hard time! (Please collect, recommend, and read)

"Second child, third child, assistant minister, Xuanchu. Do you think it is possible to increase Yungui's military expenditure next year?"

In Wu Guogui's study, Pingxi King Wu Sangui was stroking his aquiline nose and thoughtfully asking Wu Yingqi, Wu Guogui, Wang Fuchen and a middle-aged scribe who was a little skinny and short with three strands of beard who were sitting around.

.

Probably because the question Wu Sangui asked was too unexpected, there was silence in the study room. After a while, the middle-aged scribe broke the silence: "My lord, if you want to increase the money, you have to give them a hard time!"

Wu Sangui's eyes widened after hearing this: "Xuanchu, do you think this king is not fierce enough?"

This middle-aged scribe was Wu Sangui's military advisor. His surname was Liu, his given name was Maoya, and his courtesy name was Xuanchu. He was a Sichuan native. He was a loyal minister in three dynasties. He was first loyal to Daxi Lao Long Live, and then became a loyal minister of the Southern Ming Dynasty with Liu Wenxiu. Liu Wenxiu was defeated in Sichuan.

Later, he switched to Wu Sangui and became a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty. If his first surrender to Daxi can be regarded as a "first rebel", then he can also be regarded as a "minister of the three rebels", and he still has rich experience in rebellion.

In addition, he is also a scholar, has a reputation as a civil servant, knows how to absorb rebellion knowledge from books, and is also good at summarizing and learning rebellion experience in practice. So today he listened to Wang Fuchen's dictation with Wu Sangui, and watched Wang Zhongxiao's performance.

The ability to rebel is now greater.

"My lord, if you are fierce enough, will the imperial court bully you again and again?" Liu Xuanchu said with a smile, "How many grievances have you suffered over the years in order to reassure the imperial court? We have conquered the Western Fandom and eaten it again.

How much suffering? Not to mention other things, the number of generals and soldiers originally recruited by Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and the Ming Dynasty camp that you recruited in order to pacify the southwest for the Qing Dynasty in recent years is no less than 100,000. But how many troops did the imperial court give you?

"

As he spoke, Military Advisor Liu counted on his fingers: "The number of troops to support and suppress the four towns plus one is only 12,000, and the 10th Battalion of Loyalty and Righteousness only has 12,000 troops. Although Your Majesty, you recruited Chuang for the imperial court,

Some of the troops from the Western and Ming Dynasties served as officers and soldiers in Sichuan and Guizhou, but the number of people who are still following the prince in Yunnan is still no less than 50,000, which is double the number of troops given to us by the court! The extra soldiers are all yours, prince.

Take the trouble to raise it for the imperial court!"

In addition, Your Majesty, there are fifty-three assistants under your vassal. The number of men under your vassal has already exceeded 50,000, but the number of soldiers is only 10,600. It takes almost five men to produce one armor! But the remaining ones

Si Ding, Your Majesty, you also have to take care of the court.

You have suffered so many grievances for the imperial court, can the imperial court think of you a little?"

"Okay," Wang Jizhen responded with a smile, "Dad, how many people should we report to King Pingxi this time?"

"Isn't this because, my lord, you are too honest?" Liu Xuanchu said, "Honest people are bullied! Based on your humble position, instead of suffering the injustice yourself and sharing the troubles for the imperial court, you might as well single out these 100,000 strong men and Grand Master Ao.

! These 100,000 strong men have all seen blood and been in battle, and half of them have also been with Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong! If you don't take care of the court, they will."

Wang Zhongxiao interjected: "In the past, Wu Sangui always supported the soldiers and respected himself, while also hiding himself and pretending to be a grandson. This time, he probably learned how to deal with the white-armored soldiers, so he strengthened his stance and stopped pretending to be a grandson."

"Dad," Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile, "Why did you sell King Pingxi so casually? This is a great thing for the three families of King Pingxi, Grand Master Ao and Emperor Kangxi. All three of them will remember us.

Okay!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Wang Fuchen.

However, according to Wang Fuchen himself, he had never reported anything against Wu Sangui, otherwise he would not have been able to be promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief for more than ten years!

"Commander Liu is right!" Wu Yingqi slapped his thigh, "If it weren't for my father, these 100,000 strong men would have rebelled, and they might have fought all the way to Beijing!"

"Ying Qi!" Wu Sangui glared at his son, and then whispered, "But Taishi Ao."

So the more fierce he is, the higher the value of Obai will be!

Wu Sangui murmured in a low voice: "So, I can indeed be more fierce. But will Obai misunderstand that I really want to rebel?"

Wu Sangui sighed: "Isn't that right? I have more than 100,000 men under my command, but now I only ask the imperial court for the salary of 34,600 people. How come Grand Master Ao doesn't know about my loyalty and painstaking efforts?"

That is the number one Batulu in Manchuria!

Seeing the look in Wu Sangui's eyes, Wang Fuchen immediately understood. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely give the Emperor some advice and tell the little kid that you, the Emperor, are very powerful. You can control two provinces and one hundred thousand."

The army is going to piss off your old man, and the Qing Dynasty will be over!"

After hearing this, Wang Fuchen quickly stood up and bowed to Wu Sangui: "Your Majesty's great kindness, humble father and son will never forget it in their lives! In the future, whenever the prince is useful to humble father and son, he only needs to inform him, and humble father and son will die on their own accord!"

Wang Zhongxiao, who returned to Qujing from Kunming City with old Wang Fuchen, had not had time to sit down and count the banknotes he had cheated, no, borrowed, from the two good brothers Wu Shicong and Wu Shijue, when he heard from his father that

Very exciting news.

Wang Zhongxiao said: "Dad, this time you should expose Wu Sangui's evil intentions and rebellion!"

"Dad," Wang Zhongxiao slapped his chest, "I will personally send him to the guard stall of Qianqing Sect!"

"Then there is Lao Xuanchu," Wu Sangui finally made up his mind and said through gritted teeth, "I will give them a murderous one! But what kind of murderous method will I use? I am a kind-hearted man with an elegant temperament. In recent years, I have often been with Yuanyuan.

Let’s recite Amitabha together.”

"Your Majesty," seeing Wu Sangui's "kind" expression, Liu Xuanchu had no choice but to think of something for him, "How about this, you first go to a large-scale military training in Yunnan Province, and train all the troops under your command, including the vassal Ding Yu

Gather all the green soldiers from the army and the field and show it to the eyes and ears of the imperial court!"

If Taishi Ao is defeated, haha, then he is the young hero! Even if Grandmaster Ao is defeated, will he still be afraid of Wu Sangui? Wu Sangui will force him to rebel if he doesn't want to rebel! You should have done it early in the morning

The secret report of Wu Sangui shows that you are definitely not one of Wu Sangui's group. Then the little emperor shouldn't regard you as a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty? When the time comes, I will give you a job as a governor, and you will be prosperous.

Seeing Wu Sangui's frown, Liu Xuanchu had no choice but to say to him: "Your Majesty, if you are still worried, then I can go to the capital with Third Young Master to explain your difficulties to Mr. Ao. Mr. Ao is the same as you.

They are all loyal and loyal ministers of the country, and they will definitely know your difficulties."

Wu Sangui was finally satisfied. He then said to Wu Guogui: "Guogui, when you go to Beijing and see Master Ao this time, you must find an opportunity to recommend Shikai to him. Shikai is really capable, Master Ao."

He is also willing to promote young talents among the bannermen. If Shikai can catch his eye, he can always get a blue-ling bodyguard. Even if he cannot be selected this time, Taishi Ao will pay attention to Shikai and go there.

Then we can take the route of paying homage to Tang A to pick up the guards and it won’t be difficult to climb up.”

When Wu Sangui mentioned Obai, he felt a little nervous again.

Wu Sangui also looked at Wang Fuchen with a smile at this time.

When Wu Sangui heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. Yongli was his "little bandit", and he was also Obai's "little bandit". If he were gone, Aobai, Baturou, who protected the family, would still be there.

What horizontal?

"One hundred thousand? That's so much?" Wang Jizhen said, "I only applied for 60,000 last time and now it's 100,000. Is it growing too fast?"

Wang Fuchen was a slave of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He was sent out to serve as the emperor's eyes and ears. Of course, he could directly deliver secret reports to the emperor. Through his reports, the young Emperor Kangxi would know how vicious Wu Sangui was!

"How do you say that?"

Taishi Ao's status will be strengthened by King Pingxi's desire, and of course he will also think of you.

"Dad," Wang Jizhen also came back with Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao. After listening to the old man's words, he asked curiously, "Isn't the prince always supporting his troops and respecting himself?"

"No, no," Wang Fuchen waved his hands as he sat down on the chair in his study room, "How could Wu Sangui have the courage to do so? I don't know what he is thinking. Seeing that the way to support the bandits with self-respect is dead, I thought

Try to support your troops and respect yourself, but you are forced to do so by hundreds of thousands of mouths!"

"What? Wu Sangui is going to be cruel? Is he thinking about it and preparing to rebel?"

"One hundred thousand!"

Wang Zhongxiao, who was listening to the conversation between Wang Fuchen and Wang Jizhen and his son, was also a little stunned. It turned out that Wang Fuchen had been working as a spy for the imperial court! No wonder Kang Mazi trusted him so much later, and even made him the admiral of Shaanxi and gave him a title.

A hou.

Wu Sangui hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's over, it's over. I am a loyal minister and a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty. I will not rebel. Minister, please don't mention the things that make me angry."

Liu Xuanchu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, now the imperial court has withered away, the warriors are all old, and only Batulu, the number one man in Manchuria, is left to support him. And this Obai is domineering and monopolistic, forms cliques for personal gain, and has no superior, so where can I leave him?

Every generation is a recipe for disaster! If this Oboi wants to have a good death, I am afraid he will have to resort to this strategy of raising bandits!"

"What?" Wang Fuchen was startled by what he said to Wang Zhongxiao, and turned back to look at his son, "Second brother, the prince treats us well, but we can't just sell him out casually!"

"I'm not happy, I'm not happy. This is what King Pingxi asked me to report."

"Don't talk nonsense," Wang Fuchen glared at Wang Zhongxiao, and then said to Wang Jizhen, "Boss, come up with a secret to expose King Pingxi's support for his troops."

"Wait!" Wang Zhongxiao shouted quickly when he saw Wang Jizhen preparing to write a memorial for Wang Fuchen.

Wang Fuchen nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. However, the memorial that exposes Wu Sangui's evil intentions cannot be sent to Beijing by the imperial post."

In addition, Dad, you have followed Wu Sangui for more than ten years and have gained a lot of benefits. If Wu Sangui is not punished, how can the little emperor trust you to dominate one side?"

Wang Fuchen smiled and replied: "Okay, okay, I won't mention this. I will tell the little emperor that you are still loyal. Yunnan and Guizhou cannot survive without you."

Wang Fuchen heard the reputation and paid filial piety to the king.

Wang Zhongxiao said: "King Pingxi will definitely get one or two million more military expenses because of your secret fold, and he will not know what you wrote on the secret fold, and he will definitely think of you.

.

And if the little Emperor Kangxi ever comes to power one day, he must have overthrown Taishi Ao or got rid of Taishi Ao. However, it is far from possible to get rid of Taishi Ao. The number one in Manchuria, Batulu, is as strong as iron.

Same! Let’s not consider this first.

"No!" Wang Fuchen said to his son with a serious face, "It cannot be sent to the guard stall. It must be delivered to the emperor or the empress dowager through a reliable way!"

"Dad," Wang Zhongxiao was a little embarrassed, "Where can a child find such a way?"

Wang Fuchen smiled and said: "Yes, you will find a way when you arrive in Beijing."

He then said to the eldest son, "Boss, you first prepare a report for Wu Sangui to support 100,000 troops according to what I said before, and send it out tomorrow! Then prepare a report for exposing Wu Sangui's evil intentions, and let the second brother carry it with him.

Find an opportunity and deliver it to the palace!"
