There was no reason why Fang Guangchen wasn't angry anymore. This letter was sent to the Tatars by Wang Fuchen, and it covered everything that Wang Fuchen and Fang Guangchen had discussed during their meal.

During the meal, Wang Fuchen showed his loyalty to the Prince of Pingxi and his indignation towards the Tatars. If Fang Guangchen hadn't pulled him, he would have immediately ordered all his troops to go to Xi'an to fight the Eight Banners soldiers of the Tatars. Unexpectedly,

Pingxi Prince's Mansion was sold out in the blink of an eye!

Wang Liu said: "Mr. Fang, there is no need to be angry. Haven't you already made assumptions about this and been prepared for Wang Fuchen? Wang Fuchen is just asking for his own death!"

Fang Guangchen sighed slightly when he heard this, and said: "Wang Fuchen's rebellion will cause many troubles out of thin air, and the young prince's situation will be more dangerous!"

Yang Ke listened and said: "Mr. Fang, I have sent a letter to the young prince about this matter. I was afraid that you didn't know the news and Wang Fuchen's guy had hid it, so I sneaked in overnight to inform you!"

Fang Guangchen said: "Guard Yang, thank you for your hard work!" After thinking for a moment, he continued: "Guard Yang, Wang Fuchen will not attack us until he sees the young prince. You don't have to worry about our safety! You can go out after

Send a message to the young prince, the prince, saying that Wang Fuchen is double-dealing. I will continue to support Wang Fuchen and act according to the plan drawn up by the young prince! The matter is very important. To be on the safe side, remember to put a few more pigeons!"

Yang Ke said: "Don't worry, Mr. Fang, I know what to do!"

Fang Guangchen said "Huh!" and then said: "Young guard Yang, you shouldn't stay here for a long time, so please leave first. According to the news from Wang Liu's previous investigation, our group was secretly monitored by Wang Fuchen's people. You should be careful when you go out.

One thing, don’t get discovered!”

Yang Ke said disdainfully: "If these three-legged cat kung fu soldiers are discovered by them, I, Yang Ke, will not be ashamed to serve as a guard in Prince Pingxi's Mansion! Don't worry, Mr. Fang, I will be cautious!"

Fang Guangchen said nothing, Yang Ke cupped his hands, turned around and left the barracks, disappearing into the night.

Seeing Yang Ke leave, Wang Liu asked: "Mr. Fang, what should we do now?"

Fang Guangchen said with a smile: "No need to do anything, everything is as usual! By the way, let's go down and tell the brothers what they want to eat or drink, just ask Wang Fuchen's people, he will definitely provide for us now!"

A smile appeared on Wang Liu's face and he received: "I understand, Mr. Fang!"

It is said that besides sending a letter to Fang Guangchen, Wu Yingxiong would not forget to inform his father Wu Sangui. After all, such a big matter definitely requires Wu Sangui's cooperation!

Wu Sangui received the letter later in the evening than Fang Guangchen. It was about his only son, so Wu Sangui was naturally very concerned about it!

He immediately summoned his close advisers Liu Xuanchu and Wu Guogui to his study to discuss matters. Wu Sangui gave Wu Yingxiong's letter to them!

Liu Xuanchu and Wu Guogui's expressions changed slightly when they saw it. Liu Xuanchu said: "Your Majesty, this little prince's plan is a bit too risky!"

Wu Guogui also said: "Although the young prince's plan is good, he is the only heir to the palace. If something goes wrong... the young prince really shouldn't take risks!"

Wu Sangui also had a worried look on his face, and then sighed and said: "I never knew that Xiong'er was dangerous, but it's too late to say this now!"

Liu Xuanchu tentatively said: "Can you call the young prince back? Although there are many Tatar soldiers in Shaanxi, the people around the young prince are all masters. If they go out day and night, take some detours and walk on mountain roads, they can still come back safely.

Yes! We will make long-term plans when we return to Kunming. There is really no need for the young prince to take risks himself!"

Wu Sangui smiled bitterly and said: "We all grew up watching Xiong Er sleep, and we know very well his temperament when he was a child. Do you think we can call Xiong Er back at this time?"

Liu Xuanchu and Wu Guogui listened and thought for a while, then shook their heads. Wu Yingxiong had always been polite to everyone since he was a child, and he never bullied others because of his status as the heir, but occasionally he was a bit stubborn. It was difficult to decide things by himself.

Change your mind!

Now that the matter is over, Wu Sangui, Liu Xuanchu, and Wu Guogui no longer worry about Wu Yingxiong's adventure!

Wu Sangui asked: "Xuanchu, Guogui, do you two think Xiong'er's plan is feasible?"

In fact, the meaning of Wu Yingxiong's letter is very simple. Since Kang Mazi asked Xi'an's Eight Banners soldiers to dispatch, it means that there is no room for improvement. Kang Mazi will completely break up with the Pingxi Palace! In this case, it is better to take the lead and destroy

The Eight Banners soldiers captured Xi'an, occupied Shaanxi, and directly sounded the clarion call to overthrow the Tatars, drive out the Tatars, and restore China!

In fact, as Liu Xuanchu said at the beginning, Wu Yingxiong took so many experts from the palace, even if the road was blocked by the Tatar army, he could indeed secretly take some small roads, successfully leave Shaanxi and return to Kunming, and then make long-term plans!

The reason why Wu Yingxiong did not leave Shaanxi so cowardly was because Wu Yingxiong felt that the time had come to attack the Tatars, and Shaanxi was the best place to do so! The location of Shaanxi has great strategic significance. The central plain of Shaanxi is surrounded by natural dangers.

It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. You can enter Henan from the east and reach North China directly. The Prince of Pingxi controls the southwest. If you want to go north to the Central Plains, you must pass through Shaanxi. Therefore, there has been a saying since ancient times that 'whoever wins Guanzhong will win the world'!

Wu Yingxiong would not be like Wu Sangui in history who only wanted to conquer the river and coexist peacefully with the Tatars when the war was going smoothly.

What Wu Yingxiong wants is to completely destroy the Tatar court and eliminate the Qing court, so it is very important to defeat Shaanxi first!

Listening to Wu Sangui's question, Liu Xuanchu said decisively: "Apart from the flaw that the young prince is taking risks, I completely agree with the young prince! After so many years of hard work by the prince in Yunnan, our Pingxi Prince's Mansion now has strong troops and financial resources.

, the manpower and material resources are fully prepared, it is time to go to war with the Tatars!"

Wu Guogui continued: "And now we have to add two important chips in the hands of the young prince! As the young prince said, although Princess Changping is a woman, she is the most noble former royal family at the moment. We

In her name, she rose up to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and all the old and young, old ministers and generals from the previous dynasty in the world will surely fight to respond!"

There was also a smile on Liu Xuanchu's face, and he took over the conversation and continued: "There is also the Shunzhi Dog Emperor. When the young prince cuts off the Shunzhi Dog Emperor's head and uses his blood to sacrifice the flag, some of the flaws in Prince Pingxi's body will disappear.

I won’t be criticized anymore!”

Wu Sangui nodded as he listened, tapped the armrest of the chair, and then asked: "How should we cooperate with Xiong'er's actions now?"

Gu Liuxuanchu thought for a moment and then said: "Since the young prince has made a plan, we must move quickly. We must do it quickly, otherwise if we delay it for a long time, trouble will occur!"

Wu Sangui said: "Speaking of which, Xiong'er's previous arrangements came in handy. Previously, the Burmese king Mangbai pretended to send troops to the border. Our Pingxi Palace just happened to hide the troops from Kang Mazi and let Ma Bao secretly take Jiu.

Qian Guan Ning's cavalry is hiding day and night in Bazhou, Sichuan!"

Liu Xuanchu said with a slightly shocked face: "I was a little confused before. The young prince just wanted to go back to Yunnan, why did he want to start such a big battle! And he also had to work hard to send the elite Guan Ning cavalry to Bazhou to support him! The young prince should be

It’s really an exhaustive plan. I must have thought of attacking Shaanxi today, so I made arrangements in advance! Otherwise, Yunnan is too far away from Shaanxi now, and if I want to send Guan Ning’s cavalry there now, it will be beyond our reach!”

When Wu Sangui listened to Liu Xuanchu's praise of his son, a smile appeared on his face, and then he said with a little worry: "It's just that Ma Bao, who went to Bazhou, only brought 9,000 Guan Ning cavalry to Bazhou. Isn't it a little short?"

Wu Guogui said: "My lord, don't worry, nine thousand Guan Ning cavalry is more than enough for ten thousand Tatar soldiers! What's more, there are twenty thousand green battalions of Wang Fuchen in Shaanxi!"

Wu Sangui shook his head and said: "No, Xiong'er said in the letter that Wang Fuchen can't believe it. Tingxian has already gone to Chencang to test Wang Fuchen. News should come back in the next few days!"

Wu Guogui said: "Although Wang Fuchen has been away from Yunnan for seven or eight years, he has always respected the prince and often writes letters to the prince to express his loyalty. It should not be..."

Liu Xuanchu said: "Brother Guogui, the suspicion of the young prince is not unreasonable. Wang Fuchen worked as a bodyguard for Shunzhi for several years after he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. He only worked with the prince for two years, although the prince tried his best to win over him.

, Wang Fuchen also responded very positively. But it is safe to say that Wang Fuchen will still miss the Tatars and be grateful to Shunzhi!"

Wu Guogui nodded and said: "Brother Xuanchu is right!" Then he asked Wu Sangui: "Your Majesty, do you think Wang Fuchen will stab me in the back of Pingxi Palace?"

Wu Sangui listened and thought for a while before replying: "I can't say that this is a bad thing. I have been very good to Wang Fuchen over the years, and Wang Fuchen has also been very respectful to me. But as Xuanchu said, is Wang Fuchen devoted to the palace?"

, it’s really hard to say!”

After finishing speaking, Wu Sangui said with worry: "If Wang Fuchen is dedicated to helping the Qing court, including the Tatar soldiers in Xi'an, there will be a total of 30,000 troops, and if Wang Fuchen summons all the green battalion troops stationed across Shaanxi, there will be more

It is estimated that there are ten thousand soldiers!"

Liu Xuanchu comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Could it be that you have forgotten that Sichuan Admiral Zheng Jiaolin will not stab me in the back of Pingxi Palace. He still has 20,000 troops, and he has also been arranged by the young prince to go to Shaanxi!"

Wu Sangui said: "How could I forget that although Xiong'er's arrangements are meticulous, he has never experienced marching and fighting after all! The Guan Ning cavalry led by Ma Bao are all in Bazhou, but Zheng Jiaolin's troops are stationed in Chengdu, and Zheng Jiao

Lin's soldiers and horses are all Green Camp troops, how can their marching speed be compared with Guan Ning's cavalry? Guan Ning's cavalry marched day and night in a hurry, enough to march more than 200 miles. But the Green Camp soldiers could reach the sky with more than 100 miles! In addition, Zheng

Jiaolin's men and horses are farther away, and when Zheng Jiaolin's troops and horses merge with Ma Bao's Guan Ning cavalry, I'm afraid the time difference will be more than half a month!"

Liu Xuanchu and Wu Guogui looked at each other and followed Liu Xuanchu and said: "Your Majesty, the Guan Ning Cavalry is well-equipped with weapons and equipment, and they have been beating the Burmese to a pulp at the border of Yunnan and Myanmar all year round. On the contrary, the Tatar soldiers have rarely fought in recent years.

In comparison, although Ma Bao's Guan Ning cavalry is only one-third of the troops of the Tatars and Wang Fuchen, even if we don't defeat them, it shouldn't be a problem to hold on for a month!"

Wu Sangui now directly controls only about 70,000 troops in Yunnan, and 30,000 of them are Guan Ning cavalry. Except for some of these Guan Ning cavalry who have been following Wu Sangui in Sanhaiguan, most of them have been here over the years.

Wu Sangui selected strong men to add to the Guan Ning cavalry, so that the Guan Ning cavalry always maintained a strength of 30,000 people, all of whom were the best among the best, and had the most sophisticated weapons and armor.

It was also equipped with a large number of firearms. Although Wu Sangui did not produce the flintlock gun that Wu Yingxiong wanted, the matchlock gun had made great progress.

The Guan Ning Cavalry has finally abandoned the "three-eyed gun" used in the north in the past. This three-eyed gun is made of iron and has three barrels with a protruding gun head. Although it is very powerful in film and television works,

In fact, it has a short range, low power, and low shooting accuracy. The only advantage is to use it in the north, where the wind and sand are big. It can be easier to ignite with a three-eyed gun, and it can also be used as a hammer after firing!

Now that we are no longer in the north, the disadvantages of the three-eyed gun have naturally come out, and it has gradually been abandoned by the Guan Ning cavalry. Nowadays, the firearms used by the Guan Ning cavalry are all matchlock guns, and their power, range, and accuracy have been greatly improved.

Of course there are also Fran cannons and more!

In fact, matchlock guns are now being phased out. It has been two months since Dai Zi arrived at Prince Pingxi's palace. The production of flintlock guns is already in full swing. Some Guan Ning cavalry know that they are already equipped, and

Carry out adaptive training.

It's just that when Ma Bao left, Dai Zi had not yet arrived in Kunming, so he didn't have time to change his clothes.

Wu Sangui thought for a while, nodded slightly, and then said decisively: "Since we are going to take action, there is no need to silence our strength. To be on the safe side, I will ask Li Benzhen of Guizhou to take his men to Shaanxi for support!"

Liu Xuanchu said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Wu Sangui continued to order: "Guogui, the Tatar spies found in Kunming City before can't be kept. In addition, the eunuch guards who came with the princess's carriage also need to be cleaned up, and there are also the imperial sects from Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan."

The officials below also have to clean up some of them! I’ll leave this matter to you!”

Wu Guogui said: "Yes!"

Wu Yingxiong ordered again: "Xuanchu, I'll leave it to you to draft the anti-Qing memorandum!"

Liu Xuanchu said: "Yes!"

Wu Sangui followed and shouted out the door: "Life!"

Wu Shengping opened the door and walked in. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty!"

Wu Sangui said: "Go and summon the generals of the palace to the meeting hall!"

Wu Shengping said: "Yes!"

Wu Sangui stood up and said: "This first battle will be left to Xiong'er, and the rest will be left to me. It's also time for me to let Xiong'er know that I, as a father, am not old yet and can still give him a piece of cake."

The world!"
