Chapter 913: King of Fujian, King of Shun, King of Liao

General Su Bainai of Xi'an was forced to surrender by Han Yingqi, general of Yansui, and Wang Zhiding, general of Sichuan.

After Wu Sangui suddenly raised an army in Guiyang in Yunnan, he took Xia State Prime Minister Ma Bao as the vanguard and led more than 20,000 troops into Sichuan. Ma Bao led his troops straight to Chongqing. Due to the Duoni Rebellion, the food and supplies had long been eliminated. Many Green Camp generals refused to take the order of Sichuan Governor Gao Min, on the grounds that Chengdu's family was harmed by the Manchu and Mongolian army. Many surrendered generals even secretly ordered the soldiers to braids and contact the Ming army in Sichuan, ready to make a mistake anyway.

When the Wu army entered Sichuan at this moment, they were again under the banner of Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang, which attracted the Qing army in Sichuan. After all, for most people, although the Southern Capital established a new Emperor Dingwu, the Emperor Zhu Youlang, the Yongli Emperor, was orthodox. Fengzhengshuo has been the mainstream of China since ancient times, and even the enemy camp cannot be out of it. In addition, the Taiping Army is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, one is far away from water and the other is near fire, so it is clear who the Qing general chooses to be loyal to.

Gao Minjian judged the situation and knew that he was unable to resist the Wu army, so he could not let the surrendered generals retreat with him, so he sent people to the Prime Minister of Xia to surrender with the two cities of Chongqing and Chengdu, and was willing to attack Baoning for the Wu army. In addition, Tan Yi, Tan Hong and others surrendered to the Qingming army, and Yongli, the eastern Sichuan area, sent the commander of the army. Wen Anzhi, who was seriously ill, also sent envoys to welcome Emperor Yongli.

After hearing the news, Wu Sanzhu was overjoyed and appointed Gao Minzhan as the governor of Sichuan in the name of Emperor Yongli. Tan Yi and others came to surrender to the Qing generals as the Ming Dynasty. They came to join the officials and all the officials to be promoted and rewarded, and distributed rice and grain to appease tens of thousands of people in Sichuan. This move quickly stabilized the situation in Sichuan. Yongli also ordered Wen'an to summon Wen'an to Guiyang, hoping to use him as the chief assistant of the cabinet to collect the miscellaneous forces of the Ming army in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places.

At the suggestion of Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui ordered the survivor of the "Shui Difficulty", Ma Jixiang's son-in-law, Yang Zai, who served as the Minister of Rites, to Nanjing with the Yongli imperial edict, urged the Tang Dynasty to abandon the emperor's title and return to the vassal state, and ordered the civil and military officials of the Nandu to dismiss the 14th year of Yongli as the main story, and sent envoys to Guiyang to submit to Emperor Yongli.

In fact, Wu Sangui thought this proposal was ridiculous. He said that the thief scholar had already supported the new emperor, so how could he pay attention to Zhu Youlang? The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had only been doing it for a few days, so how could he be willing to leave the throne? This matter was a bit ridiculous. I really wanted to surrender to the capital. Only now would I enter Beijing first. He decided to sacrifice to Xiaoling Mausoleum, and Zhu Youlang could sacrifice to the imperial tombs below Chengzu. At that time, the name of the Dayi Yongli was originally lacking, and the legal system was also the Sun of the Shenzong, and there were also soldiers and generals, so it would be hard to say who the people wanted.

Hong Chengchou laughed and said that this matter was ridiculous, but he had to do it. If he did not send an envoy to Nandu, wouldn’t he admit that Yongli was not as good as Dingwu, the old emperor was not as good as the new emperor, or would he have agreed to the legal rationality of the Dingwu court?

The importance of this matter is not whether the Nandu is willing to give in. The scholar of the thief left the King of Tang to worship Yongli, but was called Jiangnan, Huguang, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and all northern provinces know that the Emperor Yongli is still there!

The emperor is here, what emperor can the King of Tang be!

In Yongli, Dingwu could not count it!

After Hong Chengchou said this, Wu Sangui suddenly realized and hurriedly asked Zhu Youlang to draw an order quickly. In order to protect himself, Zhu Youlang also wanted to obtain Wu Sangui's support, and even for his throne, he agreed to all the instructions from Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou. When Wu Sangui set off from Guiyang and entered Sichuan, three imperial edicts were issued from Guiyang at the same time.

One is the imperial edict to confer the title of Zhou Shixiang as "King of Qi", the other is the imperial edict to confer Zheng Sen as "King of Min", and the other is the imperial edict to confer Li Laiheng as "King of Shun".

Zhou Shixiang had already been granted the title of King of Qi in Nandu. This matter was heard all over the world, but Zhu Youlang issued another title of king, which was of purpose. If Zhou Shixiang accepted the title of "King of Qi" in Yongli, the Dingwu court of King of Tang would be destroyed immediately; if Zhou Shixiang did not accept it, Zhu Youlang would not be harmed. At least the world saw his reward for the meritorious ministers, and would not blame him for the unclear rewards and punishments as before. Hong Chengchou wanted to let Zhu Youlang make a full decision.

Zheng Sen was also the "King of Min", and Yongli also had the title of Prince of Min, but two families were competing to win over Zheng Sen. However, compared with the title of Prince of Min in Nandu, Zhu Youlang also had a elixir certificate here, but Xu Fujian was the place where the Zheng family was a town. This example was both an example of the Mu family in Yunnan, and an example of the Qing Dynasty's reign against the Sanshun King. When Wu Sangui started his army from Hanzhong and entered Sichuan south, the Qing court had a proposal to choose one of the provinces in Yunnan and Guizhou to return to their vassal states.

Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou hope that Zheng Sen will be appointed as the Queen of Fujian and form an independent force in Fujian and Zhejiang, so that the Nandu cannot occupy the southeast. In this way, there will be Dingwu in the future. When the Yongli fights, Zheng Sen, the Fujian king, can become an important force to restrain the Nandu.

Wu Sangui was not worried that Zheng Sen would not be granted the title of King Yongli, and the temptation of the Shizhen Fujian, but he had been dreaming of for more than ten years. If the Qing court had agreed to his conditions back then, God knew that Zhu Chenggong was still the king of the Ming Dynasty and the king of Yanping.

Hong Chengchou had an attribution for Zheng Sen, saying that his army would not succeed in entering the river to attack the south, but it was a favorable gift for the thief scholar. Even if he was a hero, he would always be unwilling to accept his wishes. Moreover, Zheng Sen was the most selfish, otherwise he would not have been able to watch the defeat of Li Dingguo, nor would he have been able to attack Hao Shangjiu, who was also an anti-Qing force. He forced Hao Shangjiu to present Chaoshan to the Qing army, so that the Zheng army could never take a step forward to Chaoshan from then on. The thief scholar had a place in the essence of Jiangnan, with strong soldiers and strong horses, and with the King of Tang in his hands, his power was much stronger than Zheng Sen. If he defeated the Shunzhi army again, his prestige would be unique in the world. Therefore, Hong Chengchou concluded that even if Zheng Sen knew that he had suffered the Yongli King Fenghui and Nandu had a quarrel, he would have taken over without hesitation. In his bones, Zheng Sen was not a willing person.

Wu Sangui also agreed with this, but he did not agree to confer Li Laiheng as king. Hong Chengchou meant that he conferred Li Laiheng as king in the name of Yongli and sent envoys to Huguang to persuade Zhongzhen Camp and Yaohuang Shisanjia to establish Yongli. If he succeeded, he would gain tens of thousands of troops out of thin air in Hubei Province and tens of thousands of troops.

Wu Sangui really looked down on the power of Zhongzhen Camp and the Thirteenth Earth Bandits of Yaohuang. He heard that there were more than 100,000 people, but only more than 10,000 people could be beaten. Whether it was Zhongzhen Camp or Luotu, or the bandits who were doing it back then, they would be strong every time they arrived. This move would make them strong in the early stage, but it would be a sourceless water. No matter how fierce it flowed, it would eventually run out. As for the land of Hubei, he was also unintentionally involved. Wu Sangui knew very well that he could enter Sichuan and go north to the north of Sichuan for Yongli, but if he really wanted to reach into Hubei, the bandits of thieves would definitely meet him. His bandits could only give Hubei to the bandits of Zhongzhen Camp, but would not give him Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui even speculated that the thief scholar threw Hubei to the trespassers. Did he have long thought that Wu Sangui would raise an army one day, so that Hubei would become a buffer zone for the Taiping Army and the Guanning Army. Before the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, the two would not violate the rivers? If this were the case, Wu Sangui really admired the Guangdong scholar who had never met but listened to the mighty one.

Another reason why he refused to be appointed Li Laiheng as king is that Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng have great grudges, and he and the remnants of the thieves in Zhongzhen Camp also have deep grudges, so how could these people be willing to join him Wu Sangui?

Hong Chengchou laughed and advised Wu Sangui to relax. There are no eternal enemies or eternal friends in the world. Hong Chengchou believes that although the Zhongzhen Camp was placed in Huguang, it was also a helper of the Taiping Army to occupy Wuchang. Now it is also supported by the Taiping Army. However, Zhongzhen Camp is not a Taiping Army after all, and Li Laiheng and others are not subordinates of the thief scholar. The two are cooperative relations, not affiliation, so there is no opportunity for division. Moreover, the Zhongzhen Camp is not a single enemy. Which of the big bandits such as Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi, Hao Yaoqi, He Zhen is not an independent army, and the flag of the loess bandits is to say. People's hearts are not uniform, and under the interests, it is difficult to say what choices each person will have. Even if the effect is not great, it is good to lay a nail, and there will always be a time to take effect in the future.

Hong Chengchou's thief scholar gave Li Laiheng a prince of Xianyang, and then he gave him a prince's title, and he gave Li Zicheng's national title back then. Li Laiheng had to accept his affection. Although Yongli was sorry for the Zhongzhen Camp, they had been fighting under the banner of Yongli for nearly ten years. There was no one in his camp who was interested in Yongli. Hong Chengchou insisted on this, and Wu Sangui was not easy to argue, so he had to do it according to his wishes. As for Wu Sangui, the title of Prince had been planned, and he was the King of Liao.

In his early years, Wu Sangui was the general of Liaodong during Chongzhen. He was granted the title of Pingxibo and guarded Shanhaiguan. Later, he was named King of Hanzhong and King Ji. After he led the Qing army into the pass, the Qing court appointed him as King of Pingxi. At the beginning of the year, Shunzhi promoted him as Prince of Pingxi. Now Wu Sangui welcomed Yongli again and revived the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youlang wanted to give him the title of Prince. After "discussion", Zhu Youlang sent Prince Weigong (one of the survivors of the trouble of cursing water) to Wu Sangui on his behalf, and read the imperial edict of title to Wu Sangui before the civil and military affairs of the Wu army.

When Wu Sangui was awarded the title of King of Liao, the Wu army in Sichuan was progressing smoothly. Under the guidance of Gao Minzhan, Ma Bao led the troops and Li Guoying, the governor of Baoning's Qing army and the Qingchuan and Shaanxi governor stationed in Baoning, did not know the fact that Gao Minzhan turned against each other. The strange troops suddenly arrived. Baoning's Qing army was unable to resist the enemy in a hurry and was soon defeated by Ma Bao. Li Guoying led more than a hundred cavalry to flee to Hanzhong and King Xin, Duni, to meet with him.

When he learned that Wu Sangui's Guanning army had taken Baoning, the vanguard was approaching Hanzhong. Despite Li Guoying's hard dissuasion, Doni fled north again with Luo Keduo.
