"There was a good opportunity for the Song and his son to raise troops at this time. After all, the Yongli court was not over and the people were not determined. ≤≤Xiao≤ said that he could get many benefits for raising troops at this time. At least, Yongli would not treat him badly. Hong Jingluo's letter revealed that Prince Xin believed that Yuanjiang must be suppressed, otherwise those Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers who had surrendered to our Qing Dynasty would definitely be ready, and the chieftains from all over the country would respond. If the prince did not solve Yongli in one day, Yunnan would not calm down. Therefore, Prince Xin ordered Gushan Ezhen Zhuoluo to lead half of the Manchu army through Tonghai to conquer Yuanjiang, and the general himself and Ezhen Yierde led his other half of the Manchu army to stay in Kunming."

While Hu Shouliang said, he handed the letter from Hong Chengchou to Fang Xianting next to him. There were two other people in the tent, one was Wu Sangui's son-in-law Xia Guozheng, and the other was Lin Tianqing, the new governor of Yunnan.

The Prime Minister of Xia was both civil and military, good at planning, but was born at the wrong time in his early years. He had a talent but no place to display it. It was not until he was attracted by Wu Sangui that he could show off his strength. Not only that, Wu Sangui also ordered the Prime Minister of Xia to take charge of his direct troops, Ma Guanning, and also married his eldest daughter to him as his wife. This naturally made Xia State loyal to Wu Sangui. Outsiders all said that if the King of Pingxi had a right-hand man, the Prime Minister of Xia would definitely be one of them.

Lin Tianqing was a confidant of Hong Chengchou. When Hong Chengchou was still the governor of the trilateral Ming Dynasty, Lin Tianqing served under his post. After the Battle of Songshan, Lin Tianqing surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with Hong Chengchou. In the tenth year of Shunzhi, Hong Chengchou was sponsored by Hong Chengchou as governor of Huguang. In the 10th year of Shunzhi, he was sued for bribes by the prefect of Jiayu, but was demoted to the Qing court for "not as talented as possible" and remained. Later, he was demoted to five levels in a row for minor reasons and transferred to external use. His position as governor of Huguang was taken over by Zhang Changgeng, a scholar of the Inner Academy.

After the Qing army entered Yunnan, Shunzhi ordered Hong Chengchou to ask who could be the governor of Yunnan. Hong Chengchou, who was nostalgic, recommended Lin Tianqing to Shunzhi again. Shunzhi did not want to use Lin Tianqing, but because Hong Chengchou worked hard and made great contributions, the three Qing army's progress in Yunnan was smooth, so he sold Hong Chengchou's face. Only then did Lin Tianqing have to take up the position of governor of Yunnan.

However, although he was named the Governor of Yunnan, Lin Tianqing had no business to do now. Kunming City was burned by a fire from the Ming army, leaving no place to settle his governor's yamen. Prince Xin, Duni, did not like him. The old benefactor Hong Chengchou was not comfortable in life. The dignified five provinces of the governor are now either called by Prince Xin to do some aides or sent to raise food and grass, and could not get involved in the military and political affairs of Yunnan. Only Wu Sangui, a nominal student, could be influenced by him. The other groups ignored Hong Chengchou's strategy at all, let alone talk about the good face of Lin Tianqing, the governor.

Lin Tianqing asked Hong Chengchou to help him talk to King Xin and ask him to come to Wu Sangui's army. He really didn't dare to stay in Kunming because there was a message from Guoan, the admiral line in Guangxi, saying that he would show him good looks.

The new governor wanted to give Lin Tianqing a good look because the newly appointed governor submitted a memorial to the court, saying that the front Guoan followed the army to suppress the western part of Yunnan, looting, traitoring, and killing, causing the lives of his troops to suffer and stirred up countless civil unrest. As the governor of Yunnan, Lin Tianqing had to ask the court to punish Xing Guoan to calm the people's hearts. He never thought that the memorial was still on the way, but he didn't know how Xing Guoan knew about this. He was so angry that he threatened to kill Lin Tianqing in the army.

Lin Tianqing is the governor of Yunnan, and Xing Guoan is the admiral of Guangxi, so naturally it is impossible for Lin Tianqing, the governor of the court, so those words are really angry. But Lin Tianqing's hearing is different. At present, no one in Yunnan likes him, and the old benefactor Hong Chengchou is not responsible for his words. If Xing Guoan really wants to cause trouble for him, the side of Xin Wang Duoni will definitely not make any decisions for him. Yunnan is fighting, and there are wars everywhere. Although Xing Guoan does not dare to kill him openly, no one can guarantee whether he will make a gang behind his back and then surrender his death to the Ming army assassins. So in order to save his life, Lin Tianqing only got a temporary escape from Wu Sangui's army. Thinking that Xing Guoan is the admiral of Guangxi, when the war in Yunnan is over, he will definitely go back to Guangxi. When he returns to Kunming, he will not have to worry about Xing Guoan taking action.

Wu Sangui respected Lin Tianqing, the governor of Yunnan, and the military discussions of all major and small will allow him to be present. In addition, he knew that the governor had a very shallow relationship with his nominal mentor, so he deliberately tried to win over. After all, if the governor of Yunnan was supported, the Yunnan-Guizhou feudal matters planned by King Pingxi would be much smoother.

After hearing what Hu Shouliang said, Wu Sangui smiled and shook his head, saying, "The local soldiers have limited combat power. Although the strength of Song and his son is not weak, they can't stop them if they really want to go over. The general responded properly to this move. To deal with these local officials, they had to kill chickens and use a knives, otherwise they would think that our Qing soldiers were afraid of them."

"The prince's words are reasonable, and I think so too." Hu Shouliang smiled and agreed, then opened a document and frowned immediately after taking a look.

Seeing this, Wu Sangui asked him: "What's the matter?"

Hu Shouliang calmed down and said, "I will be ordered by King Xin to return to the army."

"Return to the tutor?"

Wu Sangui and Fang Xianting were both stunned, and the expression of the Prime Minister Xia remained unchanged. Lin Tianqing stood up excitedly. This news was the best news he had heard when he came to Yunnan. Fortunately, the general actually asked Xing Guoan to return to his army. Could it be that his own memorial was effective? The court wanted to punish Xing Guoan?

"Hasn't Xing Guoan broken through Guangxi's prefecture? Why did the king of Xin ask him to return?"

Wu Sangui was a little strange. Although the Qing army on the left was led by Zhao Butai, the main force was the Guangxi soldiers under the command of the Xing Guoan. Although the army retreated to the southwestern Yunnan area, the rest of Yunnan was not stable and the army still needed to attack. Xing Guoan had 30,000 to 40,000 troops and horses, which were available for use in these places. What was the problem that Doni had when he actually transferred the people back?

"Brother Hu, what's going on?" Fang Xianting asked Hu Shouliang when he saw Hu Shouliang's expression was wrong.

"Guangxi Governor Chen Weixin reported urgently that the Guangdong Ming army had occupied Guilin and was rushing to Yunnan, so the king ordered Guoan to return to the army to block the Guangdong Ming army." After Hu Shouliang said that, he handed the official document to Wu Sangui.

When Wu Sangui was reading the official documents, Hu Shouliang and the other two said, "Chen Weixin urgently reported that the Guangdong Ming army entering Guizhou had more than 100,000 troops, armor and weapons, and they were both good at the Ming army he had never seen before. He might be a strong enemy of our Qing army."

"Hundreds of thousands?" Fang Xianting was shocked. The strength of the Guangdong Ming army shocked him a little.

The Prime Minister Xia sneered and said disbelief: "Chen Weixin was afraid that the court would hold him responsible for abandoning the land, so he expanded the strength of the Guangdong Ming Army. He had more than 100,000 soldiers and had to serve his husband, and he could get 200,000 troops. Where did the Guangdong Ming Army have so many people?"

"One hundred thousand is definitely an exaggeration, but if you can capture several important cities in Guangxi in just one month, the Guangdong Ming army is also elite, and you are afraid that there will be 50,000 or 60,000 people."

Wu Sangui said as he put down the official document, looking at everyone with some emotion: "I first heard that the scholar was named after the first time in Hanzhong when I was in Hanzhong two years ago. At that time, I only heard that the scholar had occupied Xinhui and defeated the prince of Pingnan. I didn't expect that it was only two or three years ago. King Pingnan, King Jingnan, Prince Jian, Li Rutai, Hahamu all became the defeated generals of this scholar. Moreover, the scholar also occupied a province and brought out a strong soldier. He is really a hero and a young man. He is amazing, amazing."

Hu Shouliang and Fang Xianting nodded slightly. Although the Prime Minister of Xia was very proud of himself, he also admired the thief scholar who emerged in Guangdong. After all, the other party defeated the Manzhou soldiers. Speaking of which, since the Liao incident in Wanli, the Manzhou people suffered such a great defeat at the hands of the Han people. Not only did they lose countless real people, the governor, the governor, and the prince also gave one. Not only did they mention the two Han vassals who were as hero as their father-in-law, the thief scholar deserved it.

Lin Tianqing said, "That scholar is amazing, but in the eyes of the officials, he does not understand the current affairs and does not understand the overall situation. No matter how fast his soldiers can fight, they can't just appear under our noses tomorrow. So the prince doesn't have to worry about the scholar coming to serve the king. King Xin has already asked the straight Guoan to return. The Ming army in Guangdong is going to Yunnan to defeat straight Guoan first. When they really defeat straight Guoan, the big thing on the prince is settled."

Fang Xianting nodded and said, "This is right. No matter how fast the scholar runs, he will not be able to catch up."
