Chapter 118: The Swallow's Nest is in a dilemma
At this time, Baoyu was faced with a very tricky twist, and the twist sent by Wu Sangui in Layue made a retrospective of the process of the Qing army's pursuit of the Yongli Emperor in Yunnan, and at the same time asked for instructions to destroy Li Dingguo, who was constantly agitating against the Qing Dynasty on the border, to the effect that he was asking for funds. Baoyu then learned about the situation of the Yongli Emperor on the border of Yunnan. Emperor Yongli was constantly robbed by his subordinates, and was pursued by some indigenous and local forces, to Yunnan, there were not many followers left, and he was killed by the natives, he had to live in the earthen house given by the king of Burma, and obtained food by selling his property.
Baoyu quietly invited Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng came to see Baoyu in a panic, and was about to kneel down when he met, Baoyu held him up and said with tears in his eyes: Father.
Jia Zheng was terrified: Don't call it that, the minister is rebellious.
Baoyu said with tears: Father doesn't have to be humble, the child was disobedient back then, and the father was scared.
Jia Zheng was silent and said: The minister is afraid, don't specially summon the minister in the future, I am afraid that the life will change, and the minister and his wife just want to keep a little bit of business, and they will live for the rest of their lives.
Baoyu sighed and said: Now there is a fact that I don't understand, the prince of Beijing has been imprisoned again, I really have no way to decide, I can only bother you to refer to it.
handed the fold to Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng looked at it and was angry: Wu Sangui is really the old enemy of the Ming Dynasty.
And then without saying a word.
Baoyu said: My son knows that this Yongli Emperor is actually a compatriot with his father, and he has the best relationship, so I don't know if I can secretly communicate the news and persuade him to surrender as soon as possible and not create chaos at the border. As long as he reigns for one day, ensure the safety of him and his entourage.
Jia Zheng sighed, and said that what you are watching is just Wu Sangui's recital, the former Ming Emperor is now in Yunnan, I am afraid that there is a lack of food and clothing, where is there still the strength to resist, it is better to turn a blind eye, the number of fame is like this, why kill everything. Don't mention the matter of surrender, Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan beside him are not idle people, probably not surrendered by him, he is lucky to be able to serve the whole festival of Daming.
Baoyu looked at his father, and Jia Zheng had a dark face: If the emperor wants to destroy my clan in the future, he will directly say that there is no need to let the ministers suffer, and such political opinions should not be called in the future.
Baoyu burst into tears. Let Wu Liangfu come and take Jia Zheng away.
This was originally said quietly by the father and son, but for some reason the queen mother knew about it, and the queen mother was furious and said this Jia Zheng, my good emperor don't let him take it badly. After thinking for a while, he was busy looking for a scholar of Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou naturally had a good idea, and the Queen Mother then asked Baoyu to see her, saying that Jia Zheng was now free, and the imperial court was just going to send someone to Yunnan, so it was better to let him be a Yunnan inspector, bring Hong Chengchou's letter, guide the Yunnan military and civilians to reclaim wasteland and cultivate land, complete the tax attachment, enrich the armament, and let Jia Zheng immediately go to the army of Wu Sangui in Yunnan. If you can persuade King Ming to surrender, wouldn't it be a great merit. Baoyu was overjoyed, after all, Jia was a political official to the third grade, and the court reused it, and he could be regarded as doing a good deed for the Jia family. Talking to Yunzhu at night, Yunzhu said worriedly: I think the emperor has to discuss this matter with Sister Lin, why can't the concubines say, but there must be something wrong.
Baoyu smiled and said: Then you quickly let someone invite Miss Lin, where is she in this palace, you are just hiding it from me, don't you know, I only see her, it is the first pleasant thing in heaven and earth.
Baoyu naturally didn't know that the Queen Mother was clearly asking Jia Zheng to restrain Wu Sangui, and secretly instructed her
Daiyu knew that it was not easy to rescue her uncle, and she must find Baoyu and find a way. I'm thinking about how to meet Baoyu. Baoyu suddenly sneaked into the herald, and then saw that the person who gave the order turned out to be the sixth child who had grown into a big girl, and couldn't help but be very happy. It turns out that these six children have been sent to Emperor Shunzhi by the prince of Beijing since they went out of Wei Ruolan's palace, this girl is smart and clever, where can she stand the constraints of the palace, Shunzhi is dedicated to Yunzhu, she has become Shunzhi's ear report god with her light skills, Shunzhi died suddenly, she was recommended by Wu Liangfu to pass on information for Baoyu. Baoyu gave the token, and the palace was like entering a no-man's land.
Jia Zhu's injuries were good for a while, but the human skin mask resembled the prince of Beijing, which made Jia Zhu almost not say a word all day long. Daiyu was very upset by his appearance, and didn't pay attention to him, the two of them lived in Jianning Mansion, so they didn't talk to each other, but they were the iron-faced prince, because they saved Jia Zhu, and now they borrowed Jia Zhu's appearance, they felt guilty, and always took care of Jia Zhu, Jia Zhu didn't see him to pay it back, and when he saw him, he even had the heart to die, Daiyu thought that the iron mask lost his face back then because Jia Zhu and Liu Zhenyuan and others did it, and now it is really Skynet that is restored and not leaked, and the two of them torture each other. Listening to the sound of rain and wind outside the window in the middle of the night, thinking about his own brother who was frozen in the ice coffin, Lin Liangyu, who was later assigned by Liu Zhenyuan to lurk beside him and finally saved himself like his own brother, is now also recuperating in this ice coffin, Qingwen is there to take care of it, and her intuition seems to be providence, who is arranging it in the dark. When Liu'er saw Jia Zhu, he thought it was the prince of Beijing, and when he knew the truth, he was very sympathetic to this Jia Zhu. So I came to see him often.
When Jia Zheng and his entourage set off, the situation in Yunnan also changed greatly.
In December of this year, the Qing court officially issued an edict to march on three routes to conquer and destroy the Southern Ming: Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, and Li Guohan, the guard of Gushan Ezhen Mollegen, went south from Hanzhong in Shaanxi to Sichuan to attack Guizhou, and Zhao Butai, the general of Zhengnan, commanded the troops to attack Guizhou through Guangxi and northwest, and Luo Tuo, the general of Jingkou in Dingnan, and Hong Chengchou to attack Guizhou through Hunan. Soon most of Guizhou Province was occupied by the Qing army, although the Yongli court sent Li Dingguo and others to counterattack Guizhou in the following year, and entered the vicinity of Guiyang several times, but the Qing army was unshakable, and the fierce battle lasted for nearly half a year, and the Ming army was defeated one after another, and Dingguo and others had to abandon Guizhou. The Qing army pursued the victory, and Kunming was no longer safe at this time.
