Guiyang, Kunming, and all places under the rule of the Ming Dynasty burst into joy when they heard about the execution of Hong Chengchou. On the front line, since Hong Chengchou was ordered to go through five provinces on the front line in the seventh year of Yongli, there has never been a "king of the two tribes" in the Ming Dynasty.
Brilliant, although the overall strategic offensive was still maintained, the front was always controlled by Hong Chengchou in the southwest corner, making it difficult to advance. In the local area, Hong Chengchou deliberately made friends with the gentry and carried out demonizing propaganda against Nanming, which caused Nanming's reputation to plummet under the rule of the Manchus.
The troops were struggling. The Manchus, who had been defeated by Li Dingguo and were preparing to cede territory and seek peace, were suddenly pulled back by Hong Chengchou. A Han man, who does not seek fame or fortune, brings his own dry food and fights for the whole life for the unification of wild boar skins. What kind of spirit is this?
This is the traitor spirit that should be cast aside for thousands of years.
Now that this big traitor who has caused harm to China for several years is dead, how can the Han people all over the world not rejoice? Yes, there are many Han people in the world, including those under the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who secretly celebrate for it. Hong Chengchou's reputation has already spread throughout the streets.
, even his old mother refused to come to Beijing to live with him. Probably until his death, he never thought that he would be crowned a hero for promoting national integration in future generations.
"Brother Liu, you really gave birth to a good son!" After Li Dingguo heard the news, he immediately came to visit Liu Wenxiu who was still lying on the bed and praised Liu Zhen greatly in his words.
Liu Wenxiu also felt greatly comforted by his old age, but still did not change his indifferent nature. He smiled and said: "After being with His Highness for so long, I finally made some small achievements. Brother, please don't praise me too much."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Originally, Li Dingguo was relatively satisfied with Li Sixing, but now that Liu Zhen had suddenly emerged and made great contributions, Li Dingguo felt somewhat uneasy. Hearing that Liu Wenxiu recognized Zhu Cixuan quite a bit, Li Dingguo also began to wonder if he should
Li Sixing was also sent to Chengdu. However, this was not a top priority. In addition to announcing the good news, he was mainly here to visit the sick.
"How is brother's condition?" Li Dingguo asked with concern.
"I'm sorry, brother." Liu Wenxiu's pale face showed a trace of rosy. He felt like he had gone back to his childhood, when he was struggling to make a living in the Daxi Army. At that time, after every war, Li Dingguo would come to visit him like this.
"His Majesty sent a royal doctor to check it out. There is no serious problem."
Li Dingguo breathed a sigh of relief, hesitated, and said seriously: "Brother, you are not well yet, so I shouldn't bother you with these trivial matters now. However, there is a message from His Highness. After thinking about it again, I think I should let you go."
you know."
Liu Wenxiu nodded: "Brother, please tell me."
"Your Highness has received news that the person sent by the Tatar court to replace the old thief Hong may be our good eldest brother, Sun Kewang!" Li Dingguo said through gritted teeth.
Liu Wenxiu also frowned: "The Tatars are very good at calculating."
"Sun Kewang is very familiar with us. I would rather fight Hong Chengchou than face Sun Kewang. He has been in Xiying for many years and has very deep connections. Do you think we should adjust the personnel in Guizhou?" Li Dingguo said distressedly.
"It's better to be still than to move." Liu Wenxiu shook his head, "The Ming Dynasty has just experienced civil strife, so it is better to calm it down and adjust rashly. I'm afraid that if Sun Kewang doesn't take action, we will be in chaos ourselves."
Li Dingguo nodded, and then sighed: "I don't know, but Sun Kewang is an easy person, and he will not turn a blind eye to his old subordinates. If we turn a blind eye, how can we know if his old subordinates have different intentions?"
"Brother, how can you mess up your position because of unwarranted things?" Liu Wenxiu said seriously, "Sun Kewang went against the grain and rebelled against his relatives. He was already abandoned at the battle of Jiaoshui River. How can he still have his old subordinates in the Ming Dynasty now? Could it be that my brother Lian Bai
Are Wen Xuan, Feng Shuangli and others suspicious?"
Li Dingguo was silent for a long time, and then nodded and said: "Brother, I remind you that it was because of my brother, so I will do it according to your wishes, brother. I also believe that the men who are still following us are all strong-willed men.
.”
Liu Wenxiu smiled and said: "Brother has always been a hero. He was able to defeat Sun Kewang back then, and it is even more difficult now. Since Your Highness has sent the news, you didn't say how to deal with it?"
"You know your Highness," Li Dingguo said with a smile, "His Highness is probably worried about a certain act, and he has given you many instructions not to do things that would make my relatives angry and my enemies happy. Haha, His Highness is not as confident about me as you are.
"
Liu Wenxiu laughed, but comforted him: "His Royal Highness has always admired you and discussed with me many times your glorious deeds as the 'Famous King of Two Jue'. How could he not be at ease with you? It's just that he cares about you. Brother, you are so entangled.
Isn’t that also the reason?”
Li Dingguo nodded: "I am indeed upset." He stood up and walked around for a few steps, worried, "However, we can't do nothing and let Sun Kewang make his move. Now that the Jin Yiwei has been rebuilt, can we go to the Tatar side?"
Spread some rumors, saying that Sun Kewang intends to change things anyway? Even if the Tatars don't believe it, it's still good to add some trouble to him."
"This is not difficult, it doesn't make much sense." Liu Wenxiu nodded, "However, there is another serious problem now, which may be solved."
"oh?"
"The Tatar Dongting Lake Navy!" Liu Wenxiu said seriously. "Without this navy, the Tatar North Road and Middle Road South Road armies would no longer be able to respond to each other. The Tatars could not transport baggage through the Yangtze River, and Wu Sangui was trapped to death.
In Shaanxi, the pressure on Guizhou has been greatly reduced, and the Zhongzhen Battalion can also attack Huguang. If this chess piece is removed, the entire chess game can be revitalized."
Li Dingguo nodded in agreement, then shook his head and said: "Unless you can go to Chongqing now, I'm afraid you'll be out of reach."
"I heard that Yanping is interested in Nanjing. The Zheng family navy is unparalleled in the world. If we can detach a fleet to go up the river and attack the Dongting Lake navy with the Zhongzhen camp in front and behind, great things can be expected!" Liu Wenxiu has obviously thought about it deeply.
"Yanping..." Li Dingguo muttered, "He may not be willing to cooperate with us." The "we" in Li Dingguo's mouth also includes the Zhongzhen Camp. Under the same banner of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong represents the official and military lineage of the Ming Dynasty, and was born in Xiying.
Li Dingguo and others who broke into the camp always kept their peace. If the Manchus and Qing Dynasties were not powerful, they might have fought each other.
Liu Wenxiu smiled and handed a piece of paper to Li Dingguo. Li Dingguo took it strangely, glanced at it, and said in surprise: "This is what Yanping said? Where did you get it?"
"Brother, have you forgotten your useless nephew's current position?" Liu Wenxiu said with a faint smile. The piece of paper Li Dingguo took was clearly what Zheng Chenggong said to his subordinates in Xiamen.
"Not long after the Jinyi Guards were rebuilt, they are already so capable?!" Li Dingguo smacked his lips, not knowing whether he was happy or worried.
"Brother thinks highly of Jin Yiwei." Liu Wenxiu shook his head and said, "Jin Yiwei has great magical powers, but he is still unable to get into the core of Yanping's power. These words were probably deliberately revealed to Jin Yiwei under Yanping's instruction."
"What... what does Yanping mean?" Li Dingguo suddenly felt that it was more suitable for him to fight honestly. He didn't seem to be very good at this kind of trickery.
Liu Wenxiu smiled and said: "It's just a petition. My brother also knows that Yanping was favored by the late emperor (Longwu) and has always been regarded as a lineage of the Tang king. Now that the Tang king has extinct, His Highness has sent Mu Guogong's son to express his gratitude."
Okay, Yanping is ready to go, it’s time to change the family. Didn’t my brother intend to marry Yanping before? I don’t think Yanping will refuse this time.”
Li Dingguo said happily: "I will mention the marriage again when I get back. Damn it, my daughter is so good-looking that she seems unable to get married. Hahaha, I still have to mention it again and again."
Liu Wenxiu also suppressed a smile and said, "I have wronged my niece."
Li Dingguo said indifferently: "She is my daughter, Li Dingguo. Naturally, she cannot be as willful as a girl from a private family. What's more, my parents' orders and the words of the matchmaker are still there. Of course, I have the final say on her marriage."
Liu Wenxiu also nodded in approval. Li Dingguo's words were the universal law of this era. He was not avant-garde enough to promote free love. He ignored the topic and continued to talk about the Dongting Lake Navy Master: "After Li Laiheng and Wang Qilong broke Xiangyang
In order to save face, Hu Quancai once dispatched the Dongting Lake Navy. After Hong Chengchou died, they withdrew again. Now that the old thief Hong is gone, no one in Huguang can suppress Hu Quancai. His desire for fame is extremely fierce. If there is another war, he will definitely
We will use navy again."
Li Dingguo also nodded in agreement: "Hu Quancai is a man of great ambition and talent, but he is impulsive and narrow-minded. He has an unbearable temper." He changed the topic and sighed: "Unless you are based in Chongqing, how can the Zhongzhen Battalion dare to attack Huguang under the attack of Wu Sangui?"
Liu Wenxiu smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the case. I have a bold idea."
Li Dingguo looked at him quietly for a while, then shook his head: "You can't go to the front line until you are well."
Liu Wenxiu was moved again and denied: "I have no such plans. Brother, are you willing to stage an empty city strategy with me?"
Liu Wenxiu suddenly became naughty and made an ear-catching gesture. Li Dingguo leaned forward and whispered for a while. The world-famous two kings of Jin and Shu seemed to have returned to the era when they were stealing wine when they were young, and laughed in tacit understanding. This chapter has been completed!
