Chapter 74 Unfilial Father
Guangzhou, Pingnan Prince's Mansion.
One day in early November, I received the "quick return to Guangzhou" warrant sent by Shang Kexi, and hurriedly returned to Guangzhou from the front line of Mianhu Village in Chaozhou. As soon as I walked into the Jiujian Hall of the Prince's Mansion, an unfilial father pointed at the nose and scolded him.
"Donald Altan, look at the trouble you have caused. The emperor is going to send our family to Yunnan now. What should we do? What a good place in Guangdong, and where can it be compared to the remote area of Yunnan? So many people in our family have to go to Yunnan, how can we live?"
Shang Zhixin didn't know how Emperor Kangxi's plan to "eight two tigers and drive tigers and swallow wolves" was scolded by his unfilial father. He was stunned for a moment and forgot to say anything. He was just stunned and asked quickly: "Ama, what's going on? Our family goes to Yunnan? What about Wu Sangui's family? Could it be that the emperor's vassal was cut off by the emperor because of Chongzhen's will?"
Shang Kexi glared at his son fiercely, "Shake a shit? Do you think the emperor is as stupid as you? The emperor is wise!"
"Wu Sangui was not cut off? Then we went to Yunnan, where did Wu Sangui go?"
"He comes to Guangdong!" Shang Kexi stomped his feet, "He comes to be the King of Pingnan, I go to be the King of Pingxi... This palace, Guangzhou City, and Xiangshan's annual income of one or two million yuan will all belong to Wu Sangui! We are in a miserable situation now, we are going to Yunnan to suffer! It's all your fault, it's all your fault! What kind of enemy is raised? Is it a disaster?"
"What?" Shang Zhixin couldn't believe his ears, "The emperor asked Wu Sangui to come to Guangdong? Was he crazy? Is he not afraid that Wu Sangui would collude with Prince Zhu to rebel after coming to Guangdong?"
"Rebel? How about it!" Shang Ke said angrily, "The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, the heavenly soldiers are invincible! How dare Wu Sangui rebel?"
Shang Zhixin shook his head repeatedly, "What kind of heavenly soldiers are invincible? Those heavenly soldiers are about to come to Guangdong and are embarrassed... Ah, has the edict of moving the vassal state been issued?"
"Not yet!" Shang Kexi said, "Fortunately, there are still people in the court talking for our family, so the emperor has not issued an edict yet... We have one last chance!"
"No edict was issued?" Shang Zhixin suddenly realized, "Hey, that's the emperor who is playing with us! Ahma, don't believe him."
"Don't believe it?" Shang Kexi glared at his son, "What should we do when the emperor's decree to move the vassal is coming? Can we not go? Will Wu Sangui, an old thief, come to Guangdong to live a good life? Will Geng Jingzhong stand up for us without taking turns moving the vassal? The pair of dogs in Guangxi are originally nails placed between our house and Wu Sangui by the court, so they will not talk to us... Can we not leave then?"
"Ama," Shang Zhixin's head shook like a rattle, "The edict to move the vassal cannot be issued... The emperor's purpose is to force us to send troops to fight against Prince Zhu San!"
"Isn't that our job?" Shang Kexi's face was extremely difficult to see, "Mr. Altan, I see that you are exhausted during this period, it's time to take a break!"
Shang Zhixin was stunned, looked at his unfilial father, and after a while he said: "Ama, what do you mean?"
"Duke Altan," Shang Kexi said with a calm face, "I have decided to rest in Guangzhou Prefecture and let your brother Zhixiao go to the Mianhu Village to supervise the army!"
"What? You, you..." Shang Zhixin finally understood that he had been seized by his unfilial father.
"Go back and rest!" Shang Kexi looked at his son coldly, "Donald Altan, no one of our new and old brothers plans to follow you to Yunnan to suffer!"
Now Shang Zhixin was finally convinced that his military power had been beaten by Shang Kexi, the unfilial father, and he had no temper at all.
Because the short-sighted generals under the Prince's Mansion of Pingnan were now scared by Emperor Kangxi's "strategy to move the vassals", no one dared to follow him, Shang Zhixin, to continue to implement the strategy of raising enemies. His identity as Altan is no longer good now.
After understanding this truth, Shang Zhixin didn't talk nonsense to this unfilial father, but just snorted: "Ama, don't think that the battle in Jieyang was defeated because I raised the enemy... I saved thousands of elite soldiers for our Pingnan Prince's Mansion!
If these thousands of people are gone for trouble for the second child, our family will be really finished!"
After throwing this sentence off, Shang Zhixin strode out of Jiujian Hall, and then left the Pingnan Prince's Mansion without looking back, and returned to his prince's mansion.
Shang Zhixin left here, and Shang Zhixiao and Jin Guang entered Jiujian Hall together.
Shang Zhixiao looks very much like Shang Kexi, a fat man with a national face, looks majestic, and has been following his father to lead troops in Guangdong over the years. His prestige in the army is much higher than that of Altan Gong Shang Zhixin... However, the Shang family army is a slave army. The ability to lead troops to fight and the qualifications in the army are useless. The most important thing is that he is good at taking slaves and can win the favor of the Manchu master!
If it weren't for the news of "Shang Wu's exchange" from Beijing this time, the generals under the Prince of Pingnan's Mansion would not have abandoned Altan Gong Shang Zhixin and turned to support Shang Zhixiao, the second son of Prince of Pingnan. It would be useless to say that the sky was so bad... "Slaves" were there!
Shang Zhixiao, who had just obtained the military power, seemed very excited. After saluting his father, he patted his chest and promised: "Ama, don't worry, the two traitors, including the child, the third prince of Zhu, and the third prince of Zhu, must not have run away!"
Shang Kexi glanced at his son: "Are you more capable of using military forces than Liu Jinzhong?"
Shang Zhixiao said confidently: "Ama, the child thinks he is still better than Liu Jinzhong."
Shang Kexi squinted his old eyes and looked at his son, then spit out two words: "Not enough!"
"What's not enough?" Shang Zhixiao didn't seem to understand.
"Second Young Master," Shang Kexi's planner Jin Guang took over the question and replied, "The prince means that you are not enough to be stronger than Liu Jinzhong, because Zhu San Taisun is much better than Liu Jinzhong's ability to fight!
In fact, it was right for the prince to hold thousands of people before. Otherwise, once Liu Jinzhong retreated, our vassal army would be pushed up by Mi Sihan to fight a decisive battle with the Green Camp soldiers led by Yan Junmen. The third grandson of Zhu used 300 people to defeat Liu Jinzhong's 4,000 people. If the soldiers and generals sent by Qiu Hui and Zheng Jing gathered together under his command... Mi Sihan would probably not be able to win this decisive battle!"
"Ama, the battle in Jieyang should be just a lucky draw, right?" Shang Zhixiao was still a little unwilling to buy it.
"Lucky?" Shang Kexi snorted, "When will you fight a lucky fight against ten to show me?"
"Then, what should I do?" Shang Zhixiao didn't know what to say.
Shang Kexi looked at her second son, and her eyebrows were about to meet again.
This son is very fierce in war, but he is brave but not scheming and has a solid mind. This is far inferior to his elder brother!
Shang Kexi's adviser Jin Guang has always supported Shang Zhixiao. Seeing Shang Kexi's expression, he knew that the second young master could not continue to show off. So he quickly came out to offer advice on Shang Zhixiao and said: "Prince, the second young master, after all, today's son is the wise lord. The so-called changing of vassals and moving towns is mostly a strategy to stabilize Wu Sangui to avoid being forced to rebel.
Of course, it also means to hit our Pingnan Prince's Mansion... but we will never force us to attack the strong with the weak. So as long as the prince takes the military power of the prince, the second prince will lead the elite soldiers of the royal family to Lord Mi to listen to it. The matter of moving the town and changing the vassal state should not be further promoted.
