Chapter 237 Wu Sangui, who made you the Presidential Marshal?

November 22, 2018, the 45th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty.

Just when Zhu Heying defeated the Qing Ning Nanjing General Tuhai in Zhaoqing and was about to sweep Guangdong, a swearing ceremony to fight against the Qing Dynasty outside Kunming City, Yunnan Prefecture, Yunnan Province was in progress.

Wu Sangui finally rolled up his sleeves and had a big fight!

In fact, he had already started rebelling as early as November 11th before he officially pulled the flag and rebelled and received the "Chongzhen's will". His confidant general Gao Dejie, and Han Daren had been ordered to lead 3,000 elite troops into Guizhou to meet with Wu Sangui's confidant, Li Benshen, who served as the admiral of Guizhou, and then control various passes in Guizhou together.

In addition, Wu Sangui also sent a secret envoy to carry his handwritten orders to order Guizhou Governor Cao Shenji, Admiral Li Benshen, Sichuan Governor Luo Sen, Admiral Zheng Jiaolin, General Wu Zhimao and Tan Hong, Guangxi Zuojiang Governor Guo Yi and other confidant former subordinates who held important positions outside Yunnan to act together, convene the army, block the roads, and control local government offices and treasuries and government treasuries in various places.

By November 22, not only Yunnan was completely under Wu Sangui's control, but Guizhou was basically controlled by Wu Sangui. When the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou Gan Wenkun heard about the change in Guiyang, he didn't run away. He arrested Jiang Yi, the deputy general loyal to Wu Sangui, and had to commit suicide and become a loyal and wise man among slaves. As for Sichuan and Guangxi, some areas and even most areas were under Wu Sangui's control.

So Wu Sangui's rebellion is really more disturbing than Prince Zhu's third! No one else has left Yunnan, and Emperor Kangxi has lost the territory of almost three provinces!

While instructing the party members of Guizhou, Sichuan and Guangxi to take action, Wu Sangui, who was in Yunnan, also handled two other major events. One is to mobilize the army, materials, and civilians to prepare to go out of the province to fight. Considering the transportation, manpower, material resources and financial resources of Yunnan and Guizhou, it is not easy to mobilize tens of thousands of troops out of the province to Sichuan and Huguang!

Second, there is no problem in rebelling with his subordinates to raise an army under the will of Chongzhen. However, after the uprising, you must think carefully about what signs to play.

Nowadays, the third prince of Zhu is not a sign that anyone can use. Instead, he has been added to the King of Dananshan, Zhu, Emperor Kangxi, King Zheng Jing of Yanping, Eunuch Pang, and General of the East Factory, and Wu Sangui of Pingxi have all been "certified", so this identity can no longer be true!

Moreover, King Zhu Tian and his son Zhu Hetian are very capable of fighting! Before Wu Sangui raised his troops, they had already taken over the Guangzhou base. Although there was only one mere state, Guangzhou was connected to the rivers and seas, with wide plains, rich resources, and a large population. A state was better than the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan!

Therefore, Wu Sangui cannot use Zhu San and his son as tablets. He must arrange a suitable title for himself, otherwise he will be very likely to become a loyal minister who will fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.

If this is the case, what is he trying to do?

Before the rebellion, he was the King of Pingxi, but after the rebellion, he was the King of Pingxi?

This is unwilling to accept it!

Now that Wu Sangui has reached the point of rebelling, he certainly wants to be the Emperor.

However, he couldn't be too impatient. He could not just be the emperor in Kunming or proclaim himself the King of Zhou, so after arresting Zhu Guozhi and others, he discussed it with Wu Yingxiong, Wu Yingqi, Xia Guogong, Guo Zhuangtu, Hu Guozhu, and several other senior leaders below.

Finally, I came up with a very big name, called President, the full name is President, the Grand Marshal of the World!

Although the president is still not as good as the emperor, the third prince of Zhu is not yet the emperor! He is just a king and a country.

Which is the bigger country or the president? It seems hard to say, right?

In addition, the president and the governor are obviously two systems. Because the governor position itself includes the power to command the world's troops. If you want to be appointed as the Grand Marshal of the World, then you can only be the prince of Ding Zhu and the king. How can Wu Sangui be the leader?

The so-called "president" of Wu Sangui can only be self-proclaimed, and it is impossible for King Zhu to be conferred. In this way, Wu Sangui can be equal to King Zhu!

With this position, Wu Sangui's system will not be infiltrated by the third prince Zhu and the third grandson of Zhu. If the rebellion situation is good in the future, he can go further and become a great power, add nine tins.

After solving the issue of status, Wu Sangui asked his subordinates to write a proclamation to combat the Qing Dynasty. This proclamation to combat the Qing Dynasty was also the "inauguration speech" of Wu Sangui's inauguration as the President of the World's Marshal!

At this moment, Wu Sangui was carrying a manifesto and dressed neatly. He put on a Ming Dynasty-style armor and rode a tall horse. He was inspecting his army surrounded by a group of civil and military officials who also had Ming Dynasty uniforms and Ming Dynasty armor.

Wu Sangui's army was even more tidy than the elite Qing army commanded by Tuhai. He stood in the field, with long spears like forests and swords like seas, and bird guns painted in black or red rows, which were equally stern and stern. When the sun shone on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in winter, it was like a steel forest. Kunming City was also empty today, and almost all the people in the city left the city. Looking at Wu Sangui's army outside the campus, standing full of pits and valleys. Most of the people in Kunming City were flag troops following Wu Sangui into Yunnan, the families of the Green Camp, the civilians and their descendants, as well as some old veterans, and many were the families of the generals who were recruited by Wu Sangui from the camp of Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang.

The interests of these people have long been deeply bound to Wu Sangui. Of course, I hope that their lord can take two steps further and if he can become emperor, it would be great.

However, like Wu Sangui, they all suffer from severe "Eight Banners phobia", and are even more afraid of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers than Wu Sangui.

So even though they saw a strong soldier of one level now, everyone still frowned, and their faces were filled with fear!

Everyone was waiting quietly, not waiting for Wu Sangui to deliver a "inauguration speech", but waiting for Wu Sangui's divine thunder soldier to demonstrate a divine thunder that is said to be able to restrain the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers, which is the sugar medicine grenade!

Although Wu Sangui's ambition was a little inflated, Zhu Hetong didn't care. As long as he was willing to fight against the Qing Dynasty, he would give him the grenade samples and sugar medicine formulas!

So after witnessing Wu Sangui receiving the order and arresting Zhu Guozhi and others, Chen Gongyin handed over the formula and samples. The craftsmen under Wu Sangui had imitated sugar medicine grenades according to the prescription, and had also tested them in front of Wu Sangui.

Today, Wu Sangui will test the sugar medicine divine thunder in front of tens of thousands of soldiers and the people of Kunming who are watching the fun. As long as everyone knows the power of the divine thunder, they will certainly not be afraid of the Eight Banners soldiers.

So Wu Sangui deliberately asked someone to build a two-foot-high earth platform with rammed earth in the middle of the schoolyard. On the platform, the two hundred Eight Banners soldiers were placed in the same size as the real person. They were all wearing cloth armor and lightning rod helmets, arranged densely. In the middle, there was a pillar. Zhu Guozhi and Li Xingyuan, the two living people, were also neatly dressed, blocked their mouths, and tied them to the pillar. In addition, a large sugar medicine divine thunder was tied to the pillar.

Wu Sangui looked at the people waiting around him and gave a loud order: "Let's light the fire!"

"Get orders!"

The person in charge of igniting the fire was his grandson Wu Shizong. After shouting, he went to the bottom of the platform. Then he turned over and got off the horse, found a long fuse, took out the fire sliver and lit it, and then got on the horse and ran back. But before he could return to Wu Sangui's side, the fuse had burned out and the flame had been sent into the divine thunder. Only a red light flashed, and then everyone felt the ground under his feet tremble, followed by a loud noise, the smoke rose and the air waves rolled, and all the Eight Banners models on the platform were overturned to the ground by the air waves. Zhu Guozhi and Li Xingyuan treated it as death, and they were blown to death before they even had time to scream.
