Chapter 80 If Aobai leads the Northern Expedition, who in the DPRK can be the leader?

"Dad, is it unclear where Obai went? He must have gone to King Pingxi!"

"Went to King Pingxi?" Kong Sizhen asked, "Why did you see him?"

"Aunt," Wang Zhongxiao said, "Although Ao Bai and our uncle are very close, you are the master of Dingfan after all! If he goes to Guangxi, you will definitely know, and you are the Empress Dowager.

My goddaughter, Princess Heshuo of the Qing Dynasty, will definitely kill her relatives out of justice when the time comes.

Moreover, although our uncle is plotting to determine the position of King Nan, this is all he has in mind. King Dingnan is still the vassal king of the Qing Dynasty after all. If our uncle kidnaps Obai and sends him to Beijing, Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager said

Maybe the throne of Dingfan will be awarded to him.

But King Pingxi is different. King Pingxi wants to rebel and become the emperor! To rebel, you need a general who can take charge of his own affairs, and Ao Bai, the number one Batulu in Manchuria, is such a general. Think about it, if Ao Bai

Who in the DPRK can lead the Northern Expedition?

In addition, Obai must have some buddies lurking in the court! Otherwise, how could he escape from Qianqing Palace that day? It must be that Obai's buddies discovered that the emperor had set up an ambush in Qianqing Palace, so they issued a warning. Now

This best friend has not been captured yet!

Now there are no less than 100,000 elite soldiers under the command of King Pingxi. If he is assisted by Obai, plus the assisting aunt of Obai's best friend in the court, can you tell me, is it very likely that King Pingxi's rebellion will succeed?"

Kong Sizhen took a deep breath after hearing this!

If Ao Bai helps Wu Sangui to rebel, the military leaders in Guangdong and Guangxi, including his subordinates and his father's old subordinates, will definitely bet on Wu Sangui's success.

By then, not only would the Qing Dynasty be in chaos, but I, the lord of the feudal lord, would not even be able to keep his good life!

Thinking of this, Kong Sizhen gave Wang Fuchen a soft look: "Brother Wang, what should I do?"

"Don't be afraid," Wang Fuchen stroked his beard, "Sister Zhen, my brother is planning to become the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. If you return to Guangxi and take charge, we can work together to stabilize the situation in Guangdong and Guangxi for the imperial court!"

Kong Sizhen nodded, but his brows were still furrowed, "But there are Pingnan Palace and Xushun Palace in Guangdong, and there are Jingnan Palace and Haicheng Palace in neighboring Fujian. And there are admirals, generals, and deputy generals in Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian.

Either the old troops of King Pingxi, King Pingnan, or King Jingnan, or the pirates who defected to the imperial court, almost none of them are reliable. If we rebel together, how can we stabilize the situation with my fifteen subordinates and your supervisor?

"

In the early Qing Dynasty, there were actually not three "vassals", but six, namely Pingxi Palace, Pingnan Palace, Dingnan Palace, Jingnan Palace, Xushun Palace and Haicheng Palace. Among them, Pingxi Palace

There are fifty-three direct-administered subordinates. Pingnan, Dingnan, and Jingnan all have fifteen direct-administered subordinates. Both palaces have only five direct-administered subordinates. In other words, the direct-administered subordinates of the Pingxi Palace

The number of subordinates is approximately equal to the number of subordinates under the jurisdiction of the remaining three kings and two princes!

However, the number of assistants on the books does not equal the real strength. For example, although Kong Sizhen's Dingfan also had fifteen assistants, these assistants were almost all lost when Li Dingguo conquered Guilin. Although they were rebuilt later

Once, but the rebuilt Zuoling was no longer the elite who followed King Kong Youde of Dingnan in his expeditions east and west, and even their numbers were severely reduced.

The assistant collars under Wu Sangui were originally over-staffed, but later they were filled with many Nanming elites who had been recruited, and the establishment was more substantial. Coupled with many years of reproduction, the number of young men and adults was far greater than the number of assistant collars in Dingfan.

As for the foundation of Pingnan Prince's Palace in Guangdong, although it is not as good as Pingxi Prince's Palace, they have not experienced the blow of annihilation of the entire army, and Guangdong is much richer than Guangxi, and can support more vassal men and troops, so Pingnan in Guangdong

The vassal state was also much more powerful than the Ding vassal state in Guangxi.

In addition, there are many old troops under Ping and Ding who serve as generals and deputy generals in Guangdong and Guangxi. These old troops are very independent. Shang Ke is happy that he still has the ability to control these old troops, but after all, Kong Sizhen is not her father Kong Youde. I think

It is difficult to control these uncles.

Therefore, once Wu Sangui rebels, the vassal towns and other military leaders in Guangdong and Guangxi will start to make trouble again. Even if Wang Fuchen goes south and becomes the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, it will be difficult to stabilize the situation with Kong Sizhen.

Wang Fuchen also frowned, showing an expression of concern for the country and the people. After sighing, he said: "It is indeed a bit short. Sister Zhen, your fifteen subordinates can send up to three thousand troops. The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi can send more troops."

The maximum bid is 5,000. If you don’t take any of the vacancies, that’s 8,000 people. Just one flat vassal can pull out an army of tens of thousands!”

When Wang Zhongxiao heard his father give him a message, he quickly took it and said: "Dad, you are wrong. There are loyal ministers in Ping Fan, Jing Fan, and even Pingxi Prince's Mansion. They will rebel with them wherever they go."

?No one else will say it, but the three princes of Ping Fan, Jing Fan, and Ping Xi Fan all wrote letters of allegiance to Ao Bai."

Wang Fuchen shook his head and said: "They wrote letters to Ao Bai to express their loyalty, indicating that they are Ao Bai's people. Now Ao Bai has taken refuge with King Pingxi, aren't they the people of King Pingxi?"

"Brother Wang, this cannot be settled like this!" Kong Sizhen's eyes lit up after hearing Wang Zhongxiao's words, "Although they wrote letters of loyalty to Obai, their loyalty is to the imperial court and the Qing Dynasty. Wu Yingxiong said in the letter

He wanted to use the power of Obai and the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court to depose his father and ascend the throne in advance, and then cooperate with the imperial court to reduce the vassalage!

How can this be Obai's best friend? He is clearly a loyal minister of the imperial court!"

"Aunt Zhen is absolutely right!" Wang Zhongxiao said, "My father-in-law and Heshuo's consort also meant the same thing. The reason why they wrote to Aobai was because Aobai represented the imperial court before. In fact, they were not loyal to Aobai.

, but loyal to the imperial court!"

Kong Sizhen nodded, "Shikai is right, they are loyal to the imperial court." Then she said bitterly: "But the one named Sun is loyal to Aobai and loyal to King Ping of the West!"

Wang Fuchen saw Kong Sizhen's angry look and quickly comforted him softly: "Sister Zhen, don't worry. As long as we can join hands with my father-in-law and Shuo Fuchen, we will definitely be able to defend Guangdong and Guangxi for the imperial court. With Guangdong and Guangxi in control, even if Wu Sangui can rebel

, his hometown in Yunnan will not comfort him, and his wish to go north to compete in the Central Plains through Huguang is even more wishful thinking!"

Kong Sizhen looked at Wang Fuchen affectionately and said, "Fortunately, we have Brother Wang, otherwise my little sister wouldn't know what to do."

Wang Fuchen smiled and said: "Sister Zhen, we have been our own people for a long time, but our Prince Hepingxi, my father-in-law, and Heshuo Efu have not joined forces yet!"

"Brother Wang, don't worry," Kong Sizhen said with a smile, "the three of them have always been on good terms with me, and I am the adopted daughter of the Empress Dowager. As long as I come forward to contact you, we will definitely unite and be loyal to the Qing Dynasty together!"

Wang Zhongxiao was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is great. Not to mention Prince Pingxi, as long as Aunt Zhen, my father, Duke An and Prince Jingnan can work together to protect each other, the land of Tiannan will also be safe in the future."

Got it!"

Rouge Alley, Lichun Courtyard.

This brothel, which is considered the best among the eight alleys, is not a local brothel in Beijing, but the branch of Lichunyuan, the number one brothel in Yangzhou, which opened from Yangzhou. Unlike the "time-honored" ones in Beijing, Lichunyuan in Yangzhou

The staff engaged in special services in Spring Court are all women!

There are only young ladies here, no young brothers - because when Yangzhou Lichun Court came over, Dorgon Doama, who strictly prohibited the Eight Banners disciples from having unspeakable incidents with young ladies, had already been crushed to death, so here in Beijing

The brothel nearby can't help but the young ladies.

However, those "time-honored" brands are slower to adapt to changes, so they still retain many "little brothers" who are flamboyant. The newcomer Li Chun Yuan does not have this burden, so everyone is young.

The retainers of the four feudal lords in Beijing and the "newcomers of the Eight Banners" recruited to the capital from Fujian, Guangdong, and Yunnan are not very accustomed to the service of the "little brothers", so this Lichun Courtyard has become their "paradise".

From time to time, the venue will be booked by these people.

Today, the Li Chun Courtyard was booked again! But it was not booked by the retainers of the Four Domains or the "Newcomers of the Eight Banners", but by the owner of the Li Chun Court, Yuan Linjing, and his brother Yang Qilong, Third Master Yang.

It is used to entertain the letter of the minister An and the master Geng Jingzhong and their subordinates.

At this moment, the men brought by Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong were all having fun with the ladies, but Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong themselves were writing in a quiet room on the third floor of Lichun Courtyard with their brushes.

Writing is really elegant!

Yang Qilong, who was the host today, reminded in a low voice: "Don't be in a hurry, write (copy) slowly, don't make any typos, and take it to the emperor later."

I have finished writing the letter to answer Gong Shang. I put down the brush and looked at Yang Qilong worriedly: "Yang San, I have finished writing the letter. But is this really reliable?"

Geng Jingzhong also frowned and said, "If this letter falls into my hands, he will definitely depose my heir apparent!"

"No, no way." Yang Qilong smiled and said, "How did this letter fall into the hands of King Jingnan? If you two can't trust me, let's go to the Wang's house in Dafu Lane tomorrow morning. You can hand the letter to Wang Shikai in person.

, and I’ll give you some more money by the way!”

"Okay, that's it!"

"Okay, let's go see Wang Shikai early tomorrow morning!"

It will be on the shelves on Friday, please be the first to place an order and get more updates! Five updates will be released on Friday first, and if the first order exceeds 1,000, an additional update will be added for 100 more!
Chapter completed!
