"So, even if I meet the Ming army's swordsmen, my son will be fine?" Wu Sangui didn't believe it, and his words were sarcastic... Read the latest and most complete novels
"Your Highness -" Fang Guangchen hesitated for a moment, then smiled faintly and said: "His Royal Highness Min has something to say: Just because the Manchu princess can come all the way to surrender, there is no reason to harm her relatives. We must make her family harmonious. The reunion shows Huang Ming's kindness and sincerity towards foreigners."
Humph, Wu Sangui turned his head. It's fair to say that people didn't take Wu Yingxiong seriously at all. What they valued was the princess of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
"Minfan Renyi Suzhu, once you agree, you can't go back on it. I can trust you. You can trust me." Mrs. Zhang nodded her head repeatedly, looking a little grateful.
"Madam, you understand. His Highness Min is indeed true to his words and will keep his promises." Fang Guangchen stretched out his hand to take the token handed over by his entourage, handed it to Madam Zhang, and said, "This is what His Highness Min entrusted me to give to Madam. Token, when Madam wants to visit Guangzhou to visit her son and grandson, there will be no obstacles along the way, and she can come and go freely without being detained or imprisoned."
"Ah, can I still visit my relatives?" Mrs. Zhang was surprised, took the token and said happily: "Okay, okay, Your Highness Min is so kind and considerate. It's not too late, I'll take care of things..."
"Madam -" Wu Sangui couldn't help it anymore. His son and grandson had been kidnapped, and he had to pay for his wife. This Min Fan was really bad.
"Why, I can't go?" Mrs. Zhang looked at Wu Sangui displeased, "Son, your grandson is nothing to you, let alone an old, yellow-faced woman like me. I will be with my children and grandchildren if we want to live, and we will be together if we die."
"Come here, please come to the back house to rest, Madam." Wu Sangui stood up suddenly and waved his hands angrily.
Huh, Mrs. Zhang stood up and walked out without waiting for anyone to help her. Then she turned around and said to Fang Guangchen, "When will Sir leave, let me know. Even if I can't go to Guangzhou right away, there will be a letter for my son." "
"Madam, don't worry, I'll send someone to inform you later." Fang Guangchen bowed and watched Madam Zhang leave. Then he turned around and faced Wu Sangui calmly.
"Seller seeks glory, Fang Guangchen, you have done such a thing, why are you boasting here?" Wu Sangui's expression changed and he touched the scar on his face. Anyone familiar with it knew that this was his move to kill someone.
"It is true on the surface, but I am loyal and considerate of the prince." Fang Guangchen sighed softly and said: "Does the prince know that this hesitation is bringing disaster on himself? His Highness Min commented on the prince: If you think you are wise, you will turn out to be foolish; if you think you are thick, you will realize that you are thin. If you use cunning words to delay the return of enlightenment, do you think you have a plan?"
"Bold." Wu Sangui seemed to have been stabbed in a painful spot and became furious, "Come here, drag this man down and chop him down, and his head will be taken back to Guangzhou by his entourage——"
"There is no need to bring it back to Guangzhou." Fang Guangchen said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Min is inspecting the commander. He should be in Guilin now, and then he will come to Qujing. I don't know where the entourage will be sent? Why don't the prince hang my head on the top of Guiyang City? , waiting for His Highness Min to come and arrange the funeral. Well, this is more convenient."
"Left and right, don't drag this person down yet." Wu Sangui roared like thunder, but his heart was filled with horror.
Guilin and Qujing will be the two sharp knives to attack Guizhou. Min Fan inspects the military governor and is going to attack Guizhou! Wu Sangui was shocked and angry, and his head was a little dizzy.
"Your Majesty, please calm down for now." Xia Guo's meeting was not a big deal. He hurriedly stepped forward and waved away the guards, and said to Fang Guangchen: "Your Majesty does have the intention to return to the Ming Dynasty anyway. It's just a bad time, not a cunning word to delay it. Min Fan has his heart.
If you are suspicious, and use force to force each other, it might go against the original agreement between the two families, right?"
Fang Guangchen nodded and said: "This is what I told His Highness Min. His Highness Min has a letter for the prince. Please read the letter and make a decision. Don't hesitate any more."
Zhu Yongxing was not afraid of Wu Sangui. He was indecisive and difficult to achieve great things. This was his evaluation of Wu Sangui. Moreover, as for how powerful Wu Sangui was described in history, it seemed that without his great achievements, the Manchu Qing Dynasty would not be able to take over the Central Plains. Zhu Yongxing believes that
It's just tampering and exaggeration by the Qing Dynasty.
Wu Sangui was originally destined to be a supporting role in history. At most, he was like Shang Kexi, Geng Jinzhong, and Hong Chengchou. The reason why he became the protagonist was because he later raised troops to rebel against the Manchu Dynasty. The Manchus were a foreign race that took over the Central Plains.
, was really afraid that Wu Sangui would hold high the national flag and call on people. So he tried his best to publicize and exaggerate Wu Sangui's achievements for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, as if without him, the Manchu Qing Dynasty would not be able to take over the Central Plains. In this way, Wu Sangui became the biggest traitor
, then if he holds high the national flag, it will be a bit ridiculous and shameless.
History is a little girl who can be dressed up by others. Zhu Yongxing deeply believed in this sentence. If, assuming that Wu Sangui's rebellion was successful, then in the history books he would become Emperor Taizu Wu, and the Taizu Wu who restored the country of the Han nation.
Emperor. Naturally, what he did in the past was just to bear the humiliation. Naturally, he did not hesitate to destroy his own personality for the sake of the nation and the country. If he is lucky enough to create this prosperous age or that prosperous age, it will be difficult for him to be famous for generations to come.
Let’s just say that Yongli is still living well in Burma, and Wu Sangui’s opportunistic act of introducing Qing troops into the country did not attract any severe criticism or accusation. On the contrary, not only the Manchus, but also the Nanming also gave him
He spoke highly of him and even promoted him to a higher rank.
If you can, you will surrender, if you can't, you will be annihilated. The war south of the Yangtze River has reached a critical moment, and Zhu Yongxing's patience has come to an end. With Kunming, Qujing's Jingshuo Army, Guilin's Yinshuo Army, and Hunan's Zhengshuo Army, plus
With the internal support in Shuixi, Guizhou Province, it is not very difficult to defeat the Wu army. Once this obstacle is removed, most of the Ming army will be free to join the Jiangnan battle group, and the balance of victory and defeat will tilt faster.
When the Ming army entered Hunan, Wu Sangui vaguely realized that he wanted to fight against his opponent in Guizhou. Now that he heard Fang Guangchen's words, his suspicions were confirmed, and his back immediately felt cold. He forced himself to calm down and watched.
"...the general is an honorable minister of this dynasty, and the tyrant emperor is very kind to the general. The country is in ruins, and the general lives alone outside the pass, with all his troops exhausted. His heartache is silent, and he has no choice but to sacrifice blood to make an alliance, grant vassal status to the barbarians, and borrow barbarians
With one hundred thousand soldiers, as the vanguard, we beheaded the generals to enter the pass, hoping to capture the traitor leader in person. He beheaded the Taimiao to thank the late emperor for his spirit. However, the cunning captive rebelled against heaven and betrayed the alliance. He stole the artifact of my first dynasty and turned it into my Chinese crown. The general can
Is there regret or hatred? Is there a desire to turn against the enemy and drive north to wipe out the evil spirit?"
"The barbarian kings here are unprincipled and treacherous. Confucian scholars who are moral and righteous are all serving as subordinates and quarrelsome people, and they rarely occupy prominent positions. The king is ignorant and his ministers are secretive, the officials are cruel and corrupt, the rivers are miserable and the mountains are miserable, and the women are crying.
.Even when comets fall, the sky complains from above; landslides and earth shakes, and the earth complains from below.
This vassal looks up and observes that it is the right time to attack the tyrants and save the people, and to obey the fate of the people. With the post of staying behind, he leads the civil and military ministers to fight against the riots and revive China. Fortunately, God has blessed him. Relying on the spirit of his ancestors, he relies on the spirit of his ancestors.
The aspirations of all the people. Responding to the four directions, the military strength is strong, and the battles are repeated. This can be said to be a great joy to the hearts of the subjects, and to share the anger of heaven and man. Reinforce our spirit, cut off the atmosphere, and launch a strategy for rejuvenation.
If the general can discern the right time and come back, it can be said that he will not forget the blood of his old master and live up to the great kindness of the late emperor. If there is still any chance, he will be obedient and defiant and resist our king's army. This vassal will supervise the army and march on the battlefield in person.
Acupoint. Loyalty and filial piety are natural qualities that no one has! Being obedient and obedient can determine good or bad luck. Is the general a man without plans? He should carefully examine and avoid staining the blade with blood. This vassal is very fortunate, and the world is very fortunate!"
The letter was written with great literary talent, containing both threats and inducements. It also left Wu Sangui with a step down, which is the historical legend about the contract between Wu Sangui and Dorgon to borrow troops.
Zhu Yongxing is not a historian, but he has read "The Biography of Wu Sangui". When Wu Sangui rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, he wrote a proclamation, talking about his heroic deeds of enduring humiliation and borrowing troops to take revenge, and repeatedly stated that he had an agreement with Dorgon to establish a Ming prince.
agreement, accusing the Manchus of breaking their promises and conspiring to seize power across the country.
Regarding this important issue, Kangxi did not mention a single word in his edict against Wu, and simply and directly avoided it. Judging from this attitude, what Wu Sangui said may not be false.
As long as Wu Sangui could be recruited to surrender, Zhu Yongxing felt that such historical details were no longer important. But if this matter existed, it would be a taboo, and Wu Sangui, who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, would never dare to mention it. Mentioned in the letter, firstly,
Giving him a step down is also a psychological shock.
Wu Sangui's face changed several times, sometimes ashen, sometimes gentle, sometimes angry, sometimes helpless... His thoughts had already left the letter, and he was thinking over and over again, weighing the pros and cons.
Zhu Yongxing did indeed conduct several personal expeditions in Yunnan Province, and he was invincible. This time, whether it was a false threat or a real visit to the battlefield, Wu Sangui was frightened. In terms of military strength, he also cobbled together tens of thousands of troops in Guizhou
However, in terms of combat power and equipment, they could not compete with the Ming army. If we calculate again, there are nearly 30,000 Ming troops in Qujing and more than 10,000 in Guilin. Adding those from Hunan, the Ming army has an overwhelming advantage.
If the war breaks out, the Qing court will definitely not provide strong support. They are eager for Wu Sangui to have a battle with the Ming army and both sides will suffer. They just took the opportunity to solve these two troubles.
There is also his son Wu Yingxiong and grandson Wu Shilin. Did Min Fan really promise that he would not harm him? If he raised an army to resist, there is no guarantee that Min Fan would not become angry and send the heads of his children and grandchildren to him, an old man who is over fifty years old.
A heavy psychological blow.
Then there is the concern about military morale. If divided by region, Wu Sangui's tens of thousands of people are mainly composed of three parts. The first is the Liaodong people. They are the original people who followed Wu Sangui to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. After twenty years of fighting and migration,
, died of illness, died in battle, were disabled, or fled from time to time, many people have been lost; secondly, people north of the Yellow River, such as Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Hebei and other provinces, were mostly the remnants of the peasant army recruited by Wu Sangui. These people
He has no feelings for the Qing court, and the source of the chain of loyalty still lies with him. The third is people from Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. They are either the remnants of Zhang Xianzhong or the indigenous people under the rule of Nanming. These people are the most unstable.
When you are strong, you are like a wolf and a tiger; when you are weak, you will have other thoughts.
After talking about soldiers, let’s talk about generals. They have followed Wu Sangui for many years and have long closely linked their own destiny with Wu Sangui’s interests. As the saying goes, everyone will be prosperous and everyone will lose. These people may have a blood relationship with Wu Sangui.
, may not be related by blood but have special interests with each other, forming a political and military group with Wu Sangui as the core.
Although most of the generals would obey Wu Sangui's orders, their reluctance to fight the Ming army was known to Wu Sangui. It was better to share wealth and honor, but to share destruction, could he open his mouth? The so-called "relocation of land and resettlement", from Yunnan
In the more than a year since the province retreated to Guizhou, the lives of the soldiers who had been fighting for a long time have finally settled down. They have bought houses and land, and their families are prospering. Will they be willing to order them to fight a war that has no chance of winning and will destroy their families if they fail?
?
Even his own son-in-law, such as Hu Guozhu, saw that the revival of the Ming Dynasty was becoming more and more obvious, and he also "strengthened himself to restore the clan." He formed a secret alliance with Zhang Guozhu, Li Benchen, Xia Guoxian, and Fang Guangchen to serve as each other's wings in preparation for one day revolt.
clear.
Thinking, thinking, Wu Sangui made a painful decision, and Fu Xin couldn't help crying.
"Your Highness's kind words are like a wake-up call. I know that it is wrong to resist the tiger from entering the wolf. It is also a mistake to fight the fire with a salary." Old Wu Sangui burst into tears and burst into tears. "Back then, I received great kindness from Emperor Ming (specify) and punished the East Frontier.
At the time when the intruders were causing chaos, I couldn't have both plans, so I was forced to seek advice from my dynasty to avenge my father's great hatred. However, the slave chief broke the promise, stole my dynasty's artifact, and turned it into my Chinese crown... Yu Gu cried and couldn't bear it.
Those who dare to act frivolously, use their old ways to avoid poverty, keep a low profile and bide their time, select generals and train troops, restore secret plans, hone their vigilance, and spend twenty years!"
Wu Sangui couldn't stop crying and let out a loud cry. Where did the sadness come from? Rather than crying about yesterday's wrongs, it is more realistic to say that he was crying himself. Those few lines of tears contained his anger, injustice, lamentation, and regret.
, helpless mood! His crown, his piece of land, the hope of Yongzhen, and happiness in the world. Under the strong pressure of the Ming army, all these dreams were shattered by Zhu Yongxing, who could only look up. He could only bow his head and surrender.
, Keep your wife and children, keep your family property, keep your army, and avoid the misery of defeat and death.
In fact, if we talk about Wu Sangui's humble and capricious character, he will definitely not be popular. But there is one thing. Compared with Shang Kexi, after all, Wu Sangui was not as thorough as Shang Kexi in working for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, even without paying for the coffin.
"Father, please stop crying..." Xia Guoxiang and others hurriedly came forward to persuade them, but Wu Sangui saw the relief on their faces and couldn't help but feel even more depressed.
"Your Majesty—" Fang Guangchen was overjoyed, knowing that this great achievement had been accomplished, but he still had some clarity. He remembered Zhu Yongxing's instructions and stepped forward to persuade him: "Your Majesty's painstaking forbearance is admirable. Now there is still a message from His Highness.
Order, please receive it respectfully, Your Majesty."
"Ah!" Wu Sangui quickly wiped his face and said hurriedly: "Hurry and set up the incense table, wait for me to receive the order."
Fang Guangchen pursed his lips and smiled and said, "It doesn't have to be so troublesome." As he said that, he stepped back and extended his hand to ask, "Master He, please issue an edict!"
The follower-looking man nodded, took out several edicts from the box, stopped at one of them, and read aloud.
Wu Sangui's face was full of reverence, but he was complaining in his heart. This Min Fan was indeed so powerful that he didn't give him any room to get through. He would be welcomed in Qujing five days later. He said it beautifully. I'm afraid that if he goes there, he won't be able to come back, right?
Well, listen, I just can't come back. The left governor of the capital governor's palace just praised the paintings without the real power of the staff. But he still made a king, King Han, what's the deep meaning?
"... The Wu tribe was reorganized and renamed as the Dangshuo Army. Xia Guoxiang, who was good at planning and talented as a general, was granted the title of Ping Beihou by the Jin Dynasty as the commander-in-chief of the Dangshuo Army; Hu Guozhu, who did not forget the great ambitions of his homeland, was brave and good at fighting, was granted the title of Jingbei by the Jin Dynasty
Hou, is the deputy commander of the Dangshuo Army; Wei Pu, who is both civil and military, was granted the title of Marquis of the North of the Jin Dynasty and commanded the first division..."
A series of personnel appointments were made, and officials and titles were promoted. Wu Sangui sighed secretly after hearing this: Min Fan had a clear understanding of the situation of his closest relatives, and the four sons-in-law and his disciples had arrangements. It was both thoughtful and divided.
What's in his heart? He wants to receive an official position from the Ming Dynasty and then reorganize the army. From now on, he can only rely on the imperial court for prosperity and wealth. What can he do?
"Wu Sangui is indecisive and has a fickle mind. He can leave after issuing an edict. He has done his best to benevolent and righteous. If he wants to deceive others with cunning words, he will destroy himself." Zhu Yongxing's words were still in his ears, and Fang Guangchen couldn't help but sneak a glance at Zhengyi.
Wu Sangui, who had a submissive face, sighed silently.
If you really "realize that today is right but yesterday was wrong", then don't think you are wise or act clever. His Highness Min is not someone who is easily deceived, and the Superintendent's personal expedition is not a false threat. My lord, you must respect yourself!
…………….
Qujing.
Zhu Yongxing arrived here secretly. He had met with the Syrian stallion Weixing in Guilin before and explained the relevant matters.
"Five days later, Xishuo's army set off from Qujing and advanced toward Guiyang along Panxian, Pu'an, Qinglong, and Anshun." Zhu Yongxing pointed at the map and said: "The local officials in Guanling have received the imperial seal, and intelligence personnel have been deployed.
Provide some food and fodder. In this way, our army can move faster."
"His Royal Highness only gave Wu Sangui a five-day deadline. Isn't it too urgent for Wu Sangui?" Zhao Wangbai said euphemistically.
"Five days are enough from Guiyang to Qujing." Zhu Yongxing sneered: "If we don't rush, I'm afraid it will happen again like King Qin's delay. This guy, we can't give him any chance. Moreover, Hengyang should have been attacked in five days."
Come on, even if he wants to cause trouble, he has no chance."
"What if the Eight Banners attack Hengyang?" Bai Wenxuan stretched out his hand to draw on the map and said, "Will Wu Sangui leave Zhenyuan, occupy Shaoyang, and attack Hengyang with the Eight Banners?"
"Zhenyuan and Shaoyang are not held by the Wu army." Zhu Yongxing shook his head slightly and said: "If he wants to think of Qian Province, how can the Qing government agree to it? If it is captured by force, how can the Eight Banners fight with it? Well, the Intelligence Bureau will release him
The news can make the Qing army be more on guard against the Wu army. Besides, he is too late in terms of time."
"Then the victory is guaranteed?" Bai Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Wu Sangui doesn't want to annihilate his descendants, and if he doesn't want to be defeated and die, he will just have to be obedient anyway."
"This person cannot be given a choice." Zhu Yongxing smiled contemptuously and said: "Let alone lead the army. However, if he changes his mind, based on his many years of experience and knowledge in guarding Liaodong, Gu will be able to rely on him.
