Thinking of this, Wu Yingqi sighed, and said, "My late father's coffin is not in Kaifeng Mansion... You have come to the wrong place."
Alani glanced at Sang'er and saw that Sang'er nodded slightly, so he continued to fool around: "Isn't the general going to Jiangling?"
"What do you mean?" Wu Yingqi frowned, his tiger eyes lit up, and he stared at Alani.
Alani tentatively asked: "If the general doesn't plan to go south...would he consider inheriting the title of King Pingxi?"
"What did you say?" Wu Yingqi looked at the "yellow mantle" who was less than 30 years old, and said word by word, "You want me to surrender to the Qing captives?"
Alani shook his head: "The general misunderstood... The emperor of the Qing Dynasty is willing to maintain the status quo in Henan. The general is still the lord of Henan, and he can still be an official of the Great Zhou or even the Ming Dynasty. The people under your rule are also You don’t have to shave your hair and change your clothes, and there won’t be a low-ranking official from the Qing Dynasty who will become an official in your territory.”
Wu Yingqi understood that Kangxi wanted him to be a buffer between the Northern Qing Dynasty and the Southern Zhou Dynasty.
This is not impossible to consider, after all, his foundation in the three prefectures and three prefectures of Henan is also very shallow, it is impossible to start a war with Wu Yingxiong and Qing Dynasty at the same time... Even the conditions for starting a war with one of them are not mature.
Thinking of this, he didn't agree immediately, but just told Alani and Sang'er that he would need a few days to think about it, and asked them to go back to the post and wait.
While Sang'e and Alani were waiting for the news, Zuo Chunqiu, Zu Zepu, Zu Yonglie and others arrived in Kaifeng mansion in a hurry.
These three people and Wu Shiqi are not considered outsiders, Zu Zepu is his uncle, Zu Yonglie is his cousin, and Zuo Chunqiu once worked in the Pingxi Palace in Yunnan... always loves to meet people, and said Good is not accurate, but bad is quite accurate.
Because the missions of the Qing Dynasty had already arrived in Kaifeng, and there was Hong Shiming in the city of Kaifeng, Wu Yingqi did not let them enter the city, but asked them to wait in Zhuxian Town, [-] miles south of the city.
After dealing with Sang'er and Alani, Wu Yingqi took his military adviser Liu Xuanchu to Zhuxian Town, which had recovered a little popularity.
……
"Zuo Chunqiu, the two ancestral elder brothers, if you want to help the surnamed Zhu to beat Wu Yingxiong's unfilial son with me, then forget it... The Wu family will solve our Wu family's affairs by ourselves!"
The two groups met in a big mansion in Zhuxian Town that had been tidied up. After the guests and hosts were seated, they exchanged a few words and Wu Yingqi clarified his position.
Zuo Chunqiu said with a smile: "Second Young Master, please don't talk about these things just now... the King Jian Guo Ming of Daming is the most real."
As he spoke, he took out a scroll and handed it to Wu Yingqi with both hands.
Wu Yingqi took the scroll and unfolded it, there are many good things on it!What silk and satin, gunpowder, rice and white flour, and even military white sugar that cannot be bought with money!
"Mr. Zuo, what do you mean?" Wu Yingqi's attitude softened a lot... It is not impossible for him to kill Wu Yingxiong. Although Wu Yingxiang is his real brother, as long as the price is right, he is also a real brother. betrayed.
Zuo Chunqiu stretched out a finger, "A quota of 100 million silver dollars... As long as the above items are within the quota of 100 million, you can choose them. After you choose, I will go back to Nanjing and report to His Highness King Ming. After two months at most, The things will be sent to Zhuxian Town!"
"What about the conditions?" Wu Yingqi looked confused, as if he was very unwilling to betray his brother, but he had to sell...
"Advance into Shaanxi!" Zuo Chunqiu laughed, "His Royal Highness King Ming knew that you couldn't bear to fight Brother Wu Yingxiong, so he pointed out a clear way for you. Now Qing Yao is busy fighting with the Mongols, and we have to guard against our Ming Dynasty." , temporarily powerless to prevent you from marching into Shaanxi. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Wu Yingqi turned his head and looked at Liu Xuanchu, Liu Xuanchu asked: "After the Second Young Master leads the army into Shaanxi, will His Royal Highness King Ming go west to conquer Huguang?"
"No," Zu Zepu answered the question, "His Royal Highness King Ming has officially issued a decree in the name of a Confucian sage, declaring no war for three years and peace for five years!"
He paused, and then said: "This time when I return to Jiangling, I will explain this matter to the President face to face... The Confucian Saints' decree and the Grand Scholars' Conference decree are not to be joked about in Daming. Since His Highness said that within three years, he will not take the initiative to provoke a war with the Zhou Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, so the Second Young Master cannot stay in Henan, or else he will go south to clean up after Kangxi finishes cleaning up Burni. is you!"
Zu Zepu used the saying of "returning to Jiangling" because he was not a courtier of Zhu Ming, but a courtier of Da Zhou. .So Zhu Heqi didn't behead him...but detained him as a bargaining chip.This time, he was released back to Wu Yingxiong, so that he could act as a sounding board and inform Wu Yingxiong of Zhu Heqi's position of "no war for three years".
Chapter 485 Seeking Yuan for the Ming and Revenge for the Qing!
"Military Master, Shi Cong... who do you think I should rely on?"
In a military camp in Zhuxian Town, Wu Yingqi stared intently at the list worth 100 million taels, while asking questions inadvertently.
The two people in the room who listened to his question didn't know how to answer for a while.Both Liu Xuanchu and Wu Shizong knew that Wu Yingqi, besides being politically confused, had another problem, which was that he was particularly greedy for money!
Being Yuan Tan is very bad, but if the "Cao Cao" in the southeast is willing to guarantee Wu Yingqi's safety, and the bid is particularly high, then Wu Yingqi is also very willing to be Yuan Tan.
But the problem is... First, Zhu Heqi did not give a security guarantee; second, Zhu Heqi did not seem to ask Wu Yingqi to join him.
There was silence in the room, and it was Wu Shicong who broke the silence after a long while: "Father, you have to think for Uncle San, without his soldiers, we would lose more than ten thousand elite soldiers!"
The "third uncle" he was talking about was Wu Guogui. Wu Guogui was Wu Sangui's adopted son. Wu Sangui didn't have many sons, and his family had been slaughtered by Li Zicheng again. There were not many people left.So Wu Guogui, the adopted son, was worth a lot of money, and he was treated as the "true third son of Wu".
Among Wu Sangui's three "true and false sons", this Wu Guogui is actually the most steadfast against the Qing Dynasty, but he is also resolutely against the Ming Dynasty.
If Wu Yingqi really wanted to join Daming, Wu Guogui would definitely bring the team back to Wu Yingxiong.
"Your third uncle..." Wu Yingqi was stunned for a moment, "By the way, Yongli was strangled to death by him! This matter...is difficult!"
Although Zhu Heqi belonged to the Longwu and Shaowu families, Zhu Yu'e, the last king of the Tang Dynasty, later recognized the orthodox status of the Yongli calendar, and the Yanping Palace in Taiwan also used the Yongli calendar.So now the new Ming Dynasty also invited the tablet of Yongli into the Taimiao.
In this way, it will be difficult to reconcile the relationship between Xin Daming and Wu Zhou, and Wu Guogui, the murderer who strangled Yongli himself, is even less likely to vote for Daming.
Liu Xuanchu waved the paper fan and said, "This is probably the reason why King Ming didn't ask us to surrender?"
"Then it's definitely not good to vote for the Qing Dynasty!" Wu Yingqi frowned, "Kang Mazi was taken by us for half of the country, and he must hate us more than Zhu Heqi...Zhu Heqi may not really hate us, but Kang Mazi definitely hates us." I really hate it!"
Liu Xuanchu smiled bitterly: "Second Young Master, in the face of righteousness, how can there be any truth or falsehood?"
Wu Shicong said: "Then how about we take Zhu Heqi's things and march south?"
Liu Xuanchu shook his head, "It's too late... When all these things are in hand, it will be almost June. Wu Yingxiong has already rectified the interior, and it is almost time for Kangxi to return to the army from the grassland. If we fight Wu Yingxiong again, only I'm afraid I'm going to be attacked."
"Then what should we do?" Wu Shicong asked.
"What else can we do?" Wu Yingqi said, "Go west to Shaanxi... No matter what, there must be a reliable place to stand. Although Shaanxi is poor, it is better than Zhongzhou! Shanzhou and Nanyang Prefecture are the gateways to the east of Shaanxi. The Xiping Town, Xixiakou, and Jingziguan are all in our hands. Our tens of thousands of troops can always settle down when they enter.
Zhongzhou is a land of the Four Wars, facing enemies from all sides. Once Wu Yingxiong, a rebellious son, joins forces with Kangxi, how will we sustain it? "
Wu Shicong still didn't want to die, and turned to look at the military advisor Liu Xuanchu.
Liu Xuanchu said: "The opportunity has been lost... Now the only way out is to go west. But what we will do after going west, and under what name we will go west, we must think carefully about it."
Wu Shicong said: "Going west is of course robbing Kangxi's territory! After going west, of course, we will organize the army to prepare for war, and then send troops to fight against Wu Yingxiong, the traitor!"
Liu Xuanchu shook his head, "It's okay to do this, but it's not okay to say it this way."
Wu Yingqi asked: "Military Master, don't talk to me in a roundabout way, I'm a real person."
Liu Xuanchu said: "The minister just said it directly...we used to do things, only concerned about the interests, only looked at the strength, but forgot to hold the name of righteousness! This time going west, we must not forget the word 'righteousness'."
"Dayi?" Wu Yingqi asked, "What righteousness?"
Liu Xuanchu smiled, and spit out two words: "Ask for yuan!"
"Ask for Yuan?" Wu Yingqi was stunned, "Military Master, do you want to ask for Yuan Dynasty?"
"That's right!" Liu Xuanchu said, "Because of begging for Yuan, Da Ming gained the world's righteousness, so he was able to enjoy 300 years of Guozuo. It was almost destroyed before, and now it is revived, all because of the righteousness in hand.
But now the Yuan Dynasty has been restored, and there is a God Bless Emperor!As the descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang, can Zhu Heqi ignore it?But he couldn't reach the Yuan Dynasty, so he offered 100 million yuan to invite us to send troops... If the general wants to help the Zhu family, then he will have righteousness in his hands, and we can meet each other in the future.
So we have to ask Zhu Heqi to issue the decree of the king of Ming Dynasty and the decree of the Confucian sect... and give the general the task of seeking Yuan and destroying Hu. "
Wu Yingqi slapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, good way! We don't take his 100 million for nothing, we help him fight the Yuan Dynasty!"
"In addition," Liu Xuanchu said again, "after we formally send troops to Shaanxi, we have to report to Kangxi...declaring that we will go west to seek Yuan, avenge the Qing, and request that the land of Henan be exchanged for Gansu and Shaanxi!"
"Is this okay?" Wu Shicong widened his eyes, "Can Kang Mazi agree?"
Liu Xuanchu shook his fan and said with a smile: "Before I asked that Alani, I learned that after Kangxi defeated Burni's Mongolian cavalry outside Zhangjiakou, he did not find Burni's tribe, so I went east to pounce. Yuanshangdu is the old place. This is because Burni once declared that he would go to the Jinlianchuan grassland to build Yuanshangdu... But I always feel that Kangxi will probably miss it this time!"
Wu Yingqi squinted his eyes and said: "It's not that it's mostly empty, but it's definitely empty! If Burni dares to fight Kang Mazi on the Jinlianchuan grassland, then he might as well not leave Beijing... Since he left, he will definitely run away." Far away, either run to Khalkha, or flee westward to the Hetao grassland."
The Jinlianchuan Grassland is only 500 miles away from Beijing, just across Yanshan Mountain.Moreover, the Qing Dynasty had a strong control over Yanshan. Almost all the valleys in Yanshan where people could live were occupied by various Qizhuang, Wangzhuang, and Huangzhuang. On the grasslands to the west of Yanshan, there are many official shepherds controlled by the Qing government .
Burni rose in a hurry, and there was no time to sweep these Qizhuang, Wangzhuang, Huangzhuang and Guanmu pastures.So going to the former capital of Yuan Shangdu to build the capital is clearly courting death!
Wu Shicong was a little puzzled, "Since it is impossible for Burni to go to the former capital of Yuanshang, why did Kangxi go there?"
"Of course it is to firmly control the Mongols in the Xilin Gol League, Zhaowuda League, Zhuosutu League, and Zhelimu League, as well as some scattered Mongols!" Wu Yingqi said, "He should It will also greatly increase the proportion of Mongols in the new Eight Banners... Those Mongols are miserable, they have never seen money, and they can be fooled into serving as soldiers with only a few coins. In the nine sides and thirteen towns of the Ming Dynasty They hired a lot of Mongols. When these Mongols killed the Mongols who did not want to speak for Daming, they were not relentless at all!"
Liu Xuanchu sneered and said: "Kangxi worshiped the fifth great lama as his teacher, and his purpose should be to facilitate the collection of various Mongolian ministries... With these cheap Mongolian soldiers, he can continue to fight Zhu Heqi, but Burni will escape for a while because of this." Rob!
And we happened to go west under the banner of revenge for the Qing Dynasty. Firstly, Kangxi couldn't spare a hand to deal with us, and secondly, he was afraid that Burni would invade Shaanxi and Gansu, so he would probably recognize us by pinching his nose.In this way, we can avenge the Qing while begging for Yuan for the Ming, and we can appease the Ming and Qing families. "
"Okay!" Wu Yingqi slapped his hands again, "This way we can concentrate on fighting this rebel Wu Yingxiong to the end!"
Liu Xuanchu said in a low voice: "General, before you lose the opportunity, you still have to wait for the opportunity... Why don't you make peace with Wu Yingxiong first, and then make progress after we gain a firm foothold in Shaanxi."
Wu Yingqi patted the table: "Forget it! Tell him to send that bitch Kong Sizhen to Kaifeng, and I'll let his son go!"
Volume VIII Yuan, Ming, Qing and Zhou Dynasties, The Four Kingdoms Era
Chapter 486 The Happy Life of Wu Yingxiong, the Scum Winner
"Long Live Lord..." Kong Sizhen's voice was charming and sweet.She was riding on Wu Yingxiong's back, pressing his shoulders hard.She is a woman who is proficient in arching horses, her hands are full of strength, pinching and hammering, which makes Wu Yingxiong feel very uncomfortable.
Princess Jianning sat by the bed, her teeth itching with anger.Kong Sizhen is really shameless!After Sun Yanling divorced her, she refused to go to jail in Jiangling government office.Every afternoon, he escaped from prison to play with Wu Yingxiong, the "big perverted bear". When he was tired, he went to bed together. The next morning, he went back to the Jiangling government prison to "surrender himself", making it seem like he went to work more on time.
But Princess Jianning was angry, and she couldn't stop Kong Sizhen.This time, she is not only a great hero of Wu Yingxiong, but also a great hero of the Qing Dynasty, and at the same time, a great hero of the Great Zhou Kingdom... She sacrificed herself to help Wu Yingxiong, the Qing Dynasty, and a group of people who only had interests in their eyes. There is no ideal big Zhou courtier.
Princess Jianning still knew the general idea, so of course she had to let half of her husband out to share with Kong Sizhen.
But now more than half of them have been given up!
In addition to the air hole Sizhen's "greedy", Princess Jianning is also a little angry with herself.She is obviously much younger than Kong Sizhen, and her appearance is actually not much worse than Kong Sizhen's, but this fat... is ruined!
Look at Kong Sizhen's figure, that is, "not as broad-minded as Jianning", but he is very stylish everywhere, without any fat, and it is not loose, so it is impossible to tell that he has given birth to two sons.
Moreover, she has this figure and appearance now. When she was young and beautiful, she didn't know what beauty was like?It's not surprising that Wu Yingxiong, the "big pervert", is obsessed with her, the "fourth sister".
Wu Yingxiong doesn't care how hot Princess Jianning is now, he just lies on the bed and enjoys it.He is now a winner in life, with great power in his hands, and the mistress is on his back.And his brother who looked a bit like "Wu Shimin" and "Wu Di" before turned out to be a master worse than Yuan Tan.He doesn't know how to engage in infighting at all. He thinks that if he has soldiers and generals in his hands, he can win without a fight, so he can avoid internal friction of Wu Zhou's strength.
But he forgot that this poaching thing is two-way, you can poach mine, and I can poach yours.Moreover, for Wu Zhou's army leaders, the infighting between the Wu family brothers doesn't really matter who wins and who loses... The key is how to guarantee their own interests?
And Wu Yingxiong, who controls Wu Zhou's finances and most of the local government, has far more resources than Wu Yingqi that can be used to win over military leaders!
The only chance for Wu Yingqi, who had no resources to distribute, was actually to take advantage of Wu Sangui's death and send troops to seize the throne.At that time, he had the prestige of Zhu Xianzhen's victory, and the people under him were used to obeying his orders.
If he had to do it then, Wu Yingxiong would probably have to finish it!
But the problem is that Wu Yingqi is inherently hesitant—this point follows Wu Sangui, he hesitates to rebel!
Moreover, he grew up under the care of Wu Sangui for many years, and Wu Yingxiong has been a hostage in Beijing. Wu Guogui is not Wu Sangui's biological son, so Wu Yingqi is actually his only son.Everyone coaxes him, and no one fights with him, and there is no power struggle within Wu Sangui's group, but Wu Sangui dominates alone.
So Wu Yingqi is not only hesitant by nature, but also has never seen any power struggle.
In contrast, Wu Yingxiong has seen a lot of bloody events in the power field in Beijing!Comparing Wu Yingqi's trickery skills to his, it's unbelievably tender.
Moreover, Wu Yingxiong also has two assistants, Kong Sizhen and Hong Shiming.Kong Sizhen was trained by Bu Mu Butai, and he knows too well the truth that power will prosper, and power will perish if it is lost.And Hong Shiming is the sinister son of Hong Chengchou!
The level difference between the two sides is too great, so Wu Yingxiong is already sure of winning.
Just when he was triumphant, Wu Yingxiong suddenly heard a knock on the door of the courtyard where he was, followed by the kind voice of the old nanny Rong Nai brought by Princess Jianning from Beijing.
"Mr. Hong, Mr. Wang, this is the president's inner house, it seems inconvenient for you to come in..."
Wu Yingxiong's ears perked up. He has been waiting for Hong Shiming and Wang Shirong to come back these two days!
Although Wu Yingxiong has already taken advantage, Wu Yingqi still has strength in his hands!At least the armies of Wu Yingqi, Wu Shicong, Wu Guogui and Ma Bao are still on Wu Yingqi's side.
If Wu Yingqi wants to fight to the death, the outcome is still quite unpredictable.
At this time, Kong Sizhen had already got off Wu Yingxiong's back, and began to dress quickly.Wu Yingxiong also straightened up, picked up the robes that Princess Jianning handed him, and put them on one by one by himself without anyone waiting on him.
While getting dressed, Wu Yingxiong yelled: "Nurse Rong, Mr. Hong and Mr. Wang are not outsiders, please come in!"
Then I heard the creaking sound of the door opening, and a burst of hurried footsteps, followed by Wang Shirong's voice: "President! Good news! The second master has agreed to make peace, and is willing to be named General Pingxi. As long as you will Kong Sizhen was sent to the Kaifeng mansion, and the person who handed it over to the second master executed Ling Chi, and the second master was willing to let the eldest son go..."
Having said this, Wang Shirong's voice suddenly stopped, because he saw Kong Sizhen coming out of Wu Yingxiong's room with a smile, and Wu Yingxiong also came out with a smile.
"Risheng, Shirong," Wu Yingxiong saw that Hong Shiming and Wang Shirong were in a daze, so he hurriedly asked, "Does my second brother mean to be the general of Pingxi first, or to cut the fourth virgin first?"
"Become General Pingxi first," Hong Shiming said, "When I left Kaifeng Mansion, Second Master had already started calling himself Great General Pingxi of the Great Zhou Kingdom... In addition, I also heard reliable news that Second Master is planning to go west to Ganshan!"
Kong Sizhen was also listening with his ears upright, and when he heard this, he smiled and saluted Wu Yingxiong: "Congratulations to the President!"
Princess Jianning also came out together. Seeing that Kong Sizhen was still congratulating Wu Yingxiong, she couldn't help interjecting and asked, "Sister Sizhen, the second master wants the president to hand you over to him to cut you up!"
Kong Sizhen laughed and said, "I can agree to this matter!"
"Ah!" Princess Jianning looked at Kong Sizhen and didn't know what to say.
Wu Yingxiong laughed loudly: "Since Sizhen himself agreed, then this matter is settled... Risheng, hurry up and draw up a presidential decree to make my second brother General Pingxi! Shirong, you have worked hard For a moment, take this decree and go to Kaifeng Mansion to give it to my second brother. I will write a letter in my own hand and tell him about Sizhen.
Because Sizhen refused to plead guilty to death, he was severely punished in Jiangling Mansion, and he needed medical treatment before being sent to Kaifeng Mansion, if he couldn't wait.You can send an executioner to Jiangling to torture Sizhen in the Jiangling government office and execute Ling Chi to death! "
After saying this, Wu Yingxiong turned around and asked Kong Sizhen, "Sizhen, do you think this is feasible?"
"Okay!" Kong Sizhen said with a smile, "You can let Lu Yifeng, Yin of the Jiangling Mansion, and Mr. Wang go to the Jiangling Mansion together. That kid can talk eloquently, and he will definitely be able to coax the second master. As long as the second master understands the matter of Xijin After everything is done, the slave family will be able to die of serious injuries in the government office of Jiangling Mansion!"
Princess Jianning next to her still didn't understand, "Sister Sizhen, you want to fake death? But the second master is not stupid, can you get over it?"
Hong Shiming said with a smile: "Madam, as long as this matter drags on for another month or two, the second master will lose... If he loses, it is a great fortune to save his life and go westward to Ganshan, do you dare to be serious? "
Princess Jianning frowned, "Isn't it? In a month or two... the second master won't be able to gain a foothold in Henan?"
