Above the banquet, the heat was steaming. A roasted Qinghai yellow sheep with a crispy yellow surface, fragrant and steaming was carried up by two chefs from the Presidential Palace and placed on a table with many condiments and

On a long table with milky white porcelain bowls, one of the cooks is responsible for carefully slicing the roasted lamb with a knife. Each piece of mutton is divided into porcelain bowls. Each piece of mutton is oily and has an attractive aroma. The other cook is

The chef was responsible for sprinkling the spices from the Western Regions and Yunnan, which made the guests full of food excited.

Most of the guests here today are civil servants and military generals in the Wu and Zhou camp, plus two visitors from the southeast - Huang Zongxi, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and Hong Shiming, the governor of Jiangnan in the Qing Dynasty. Except for Huang Zongxi and Hong Shiming, everyone is smiling like a flower.

, stars surround Wu Sangui like the moon.

Wu Sangui was also extremely proud. Previously, because of the rumors that Zhu Heji had died in battle and the tug-of-war between the Ming and Qing armies on the battlefield around Anqing, he hesitated for a while... He was also an "old hesitant". History

During the rebellion against the Qing Dynasty, I just returned to the Yangtze River and started to hesitate!

But at this moment, he finally hesitated and prepared to give his son Wu Yingqi and grandson Wu Shicong a fight with a hundred thousand troops!

And the chances of winning in this fight are quite high!

Needless to say, Kangxi... Although he still has about 100,000 new Banner troops, they are "lose-lose troops". He lost once against the Wu Army and again against Zhu Heji.

.We are all losing, we are afraid of losing, and we are still a tired army. How can we defeat the victorious soldiers of the Wu family who are full of energy and vigor?

And Zhu Heji is in a lot of trouble now. Prime Minister Zhuge is keeping an eye on Wu Zhou and Kangxi who is stationing troops at Qingliu Pass. The remaining force that can be used to besiege Anqing is small. One Anqing can fight for several months.

Didn't succeed!

Zhu Heji's entry into Zhejiang was extremely smooth, and there should be no problem entering Jiangnan. After all, the common people and gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been living in poverty for a long time, and they welcome anyone who can come to rescue them. What's more, it's the Ming Dynasty they are very familiar with. But

Kangxi had already anticipated this situation, and not only used the strategy of "Feng Ting offered his party to Zhao", but also established three strongholds along the Yangtze River: Zijin Mountain, Guazhoubu and Anqing.

These three strongholds must be removed by Zhu Heji - if the Anqing stronghold is not removed, the Yangtze River Channel will not be accessible. Jiangdong and Jiangxi will not be able to be integrated into one, and it will be difficult for Jiangxi's grain and Jingdezhen's porcelain to go to Jiangdong.

Shipping. So Anqing must be defeated!

Needless to say, Purple Mountain... Can Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb be recovered? If a group of Tatar soldiers poop and urinate on Zhu Yuanzhang's head every day, will Zhu Heji still have the dignity to be the emperor?

And the stronghold of Guazhoubu is blocked by the Grand Canal! If we don’t remove it, how will the logistics of the Northern Expedition be handled?

Therefore, Zhu Heji must first capture these three strongholds before he can recruit a large army to launch a large-scale northern expedition.

The three strongholds set up by Emperor Kangxi were definitely not that easy to fight. It wouldn't be difficult to delay Zhu Heji for a few months, right?

Moreover, Emperor Kangxi's whimsical plan of "Feng Ting offering land to Zhao" also bluffed Zhu Heji, so that Zhu Heji sent Huang Zongxi to negotiate with Wu Sangui... This played into Wu Sangui's favour.

What a good idea!

Wu Sangui pointed at the roasted sheep and smiled at Huang Zongxi: "Mr. Lizhou, this yellow sheep is a specialty of Qinghai-Tibet. It is fat and tight, fragrant but not smelly. It is the top grade of sheep. This yellow sheep is the fifth generation of the great sheep."

The Lama’s envoy sent it to me.”

Huang Zongxi smiled calmly, but he was a little confused inside - why did Wu Sangui mention the fifth great lama? What does he have to do with the current struggle for hegemony between the Ming, Qing and Three Kingdoms?

However, Hong Shiming, who became Wu Sangui's guest with him, changed his expression drastically - although he had always been a "sentinel in the officialdom", he was a bench in the Beijing court. How could he not know about the Mongols and the great lama?

The Fifth Grand Lama seems to have nothing to do with the Ming, Qing and Three Kingdoms competing for hegemony, but in fact he can influence the position of some Mongolian princes.

In other words, it can be said that on the surface it was the fifth great lama who sent an envoy to send yellow sheep to Wu Sangui, but in fact it was the Mongolian princes who were showing their goodwill to President Wu through the great lama!

This matter is not a big deal to people like Zhu Heji and Huang Zongxi who have never been in the Manchu power circle, but to people like Hong Shiming, who are in the Manchu circle, it means that the foundation of the Qing Dynasty is changing.

shake!

The Qing Dynasty has always been based on the Mongolian-Manchu marriage alliance!

If the Mongols were partially pulled over by President Wu, wouldn't the Qing Dynasty's foundation be shaken?

Moreover, the possibility of Wu Sangui wooing the Mongols through the fifth great lama exists!

Because Yunnan and Tibet border, there have always been lamas preaching in Yunnan, and there are many chieftains on the Yunnan-Tibet border who offer sacrifices from both sides. It is very possible that Wu Sangui contacted the great lama through them.

Now that Wu Sangui has taken control of Sichuan, it is more convenient to contact the Great Lama. He can even directly send troops to attack the snow-covered plateau... Wanting the Great Lama to help him contact Oirat Mongolia and Khalkha Mongolia is not a word.

thing?

Wu Sangui glanced at Hong Shiming, and then said to Huang Zongxi: "I know that the third prince and the third grandson are fighting for the territory of Jiangnan. If anyone wants to pick fruits at this time, they will fight to the death.

I'm getting older, and I don't want to live in the mainland in my lifetime, so I just want to be able to drive out the Tartars... After all, the fact that the Tartars can get in has something to do with me."

As soon as Huang Zongxi heard this, he immediately said to Wu Sangui: "It is a blessing to the world that the president understands justice so well!" He paused and then said, "I wonder what the president thinks about the land in Jiangbei?"

Wu Sangui smiled and said: "If I want to capture all of Jiangbei, wouldn't I be caught between the Ming and Qing Dynasties? Moreover, the territory of Jiangbei is not small, and the Qing captives have not all withdrawn. If I want to capture more territory, I have to invest more.

With these troops...this will divide the troops of the Northern Expedition!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Jiangbei Province established by Kangxi was actually useless to Wu Sangui. It’s okay to try a little bit of Shouzhou Prefecture and Lu’an Prefecture. If you really want to eat big meat, then

We have to capture the four prefectures of Anqing, Luzhou, Yangzhou and Huai'an.

Most of the Anqing Prefecture and part of the Luzhou Prefecture have been occupied by Zhuge Sanhe's troops, while the Yang and Huai Prefectures are blocking Zhuge He's northern expedition.

If Wu Sangui sent troops to occupy it, he would be dividing his own troops to guard the country for Kangxi... Although his strategy was poor, it was not that bad.

"President, are you going to go on the Northern Expedition?" Huang Zongxi's eyes almost shone when he heard the news.

"Yes!" Wu Sangui said with a smile, "I am going to let Ying Qi and Shi Cong march northward with 100,000 troops. They will send out troops this autumn!"

"This autumn? It's autumn now!"

Wu Sangui nodded and said with a smile: "Send troops this autumn, and they will be able to enter Beijing next spring! Hahaha... I am going to win!"

The "win" he said was not just about winning against Kangxi, but also about winning against Zhu Heji!

Whoever enters Beijing first will rule the world!

Wu Sangui sent 100,000 victorious troops to the Northern Expedition. Can Kangxi stop it? If Kangxi couldn't stop it, Wu Sangui would be the first to enter Beijing!

Huang Zongxi looked at Wu Sangui's proud look, and always felt that he should say something to attack him, "President, Kang Yaotou still has hundreds of thousands of new Eight Banners troops, so they may not be incapable of fighting!"

"Really?" Wu Sangui laughed again, then turned to Hong Shiming and said, "Risheng, please work harder and go to Huai'an for me to persuade Xuan Ye... just treat it as a Qing Dynasty.

Follow Zong! If he runs faster, he can still have an army of more than 100 or 200,000 people to go outside the Pass. Maybe he can also become a hero outside the Pass and beyond the Great Wall.

Otherwise, my son Ying Qi will lead one hundred thousand soldiers to beat him once. Even if he is lucky enough to win, Zhu San Taisun will bring another one hundred thousand soldiers to beat him... He will have to stop beating him to be able to bear it.
