The three of them rushed into the inner room, only to see a man of one or fiftieth year, his eyes blank and glazed. If it weren't for the fact that his chest was still slightly heaving, it would be no different from a dead man. The man seemed to have been brutally tortured, and with nothing to eat, he was already hungry. There was no one among the three who could recognize who this man was.

I saw that this man heard the three people coming in, only his eyes moved, and then he slowly closed his eyes, but then he thought of something. A pair of eyes opened suddenly, his gaze was like a fine light shooting out, looking at Wen Anzhi and Liu Tichun, trying to raise his hand, but he had no strength in his body. Seeing this, Zhu Dashan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his hand and said, "Who are you, how could you be arrested by the Qing soldiers, do you know Inspector Wen and the Duke of Wanguo?" The man listened to Zhu Dashan's previous words, and he didn't see any movement, but when he finally talked about Inspector Wen and the Duke of Wanguo, he seemed to use all his strength to move his head.

Zhu Dashan was overjoyed and said to Wen Anzhi and the others: "He knows Inspector Wen and the Duke of Wanguo. Who is this man? Liu Tichun said: "It's not easy to think, most of the people we know are in the imperial court, or they have surrendered to the Tartars." Wen Anzhi groaned: "There are no people in western Sichuan who have friendships, and they won't be people in the imperial court." ”

At this time, Zhou Dazhu came in with the doctor again, but he heard movement in the room just now, and Zhou Dazhu immediately went to call the doctor over. The doctor stepped forward and gave the man a pulse for a while and said, "This is a good thing, his pulse is no longer as weak as it was just now, it seems that he has hope of living." ”

Zhu Dashan and the others were happy when they heard this, and Wen An said: "Then when will he recover." The doctor said, "As long as you can rest for two days." As soon as the doctor's voice fell, he heard the man say weakly: "You quack, you are not good at medicine, and you are still talking nonsense here." "The doctor was also very frightened, just now the patient was obviously running out of the pulse of the lamp, why did he suddenly speak. It's not going to be a flashback.

Zhu Dashan was also overjoyed: "You feel better now, and you recover so quickly." The man said, "The old man was not sick in the first place, but he was starved by those dog-day soldiers." The quack doctors you got there, I was dying. Wen'an's way: "It's good to have someone to give you a doctor, tell me who you are."

The man said: "It seems that you really don't know me, old man Feng Shuangli." Wen Anzhi and Liu Tichun were shocked: "What, you are Feng Shuangli, the Duke of Xingguo." Feng Shuangli said: "Yes, it is the old man." Liu Tichun said: "Aren't you in the imperial court?" How did you get to Sichuan? Zhu Dashan asked curiously: "He is the Duke of Xingguo?" How did you get caught by the Qing soldiers? ”

Feng Shuangli listened to the questions of the three people, and suddenly became a little depressed, and the three of them had a bad premonition in their hearts. Sure enough, Feng Shuangli was silent for a while, and said sadly: "The imperial court, where is the imperial court." When Zhu Dashan and the others heard this, they instantly felt that the sky had fallen, and the whole person was dizzy, and they didn't know what to say. After a while, Wen Anzhi asked, "You can tell us what happened to the imperial court." ”

Before Feng Shuangli could speak, he cried first, this general in his fifties, the king of Qingyang who was sealed by the imperial court, was crying darkly. After waiting for a long time, Feng Shuangli stopped crying, and after this crying, Feng Shuangli's grief and indignation were vented a little, and the whole person was no longer as decadent as before.

Feng Shuangli wiped the tears from his face and said, "Inspector Wen, the Duke of Wanguo." Last year, the Qing troops attacked Guizhou in three ways, and due to the disagreement between the Qin and Jin kings, it led to internal disputes in the imperial court. After the defeat of the King of Qin, he was angry and voted for the Qing court in a fit of rage. This leaked all the details of the entire Guizhou and Yunnan to the Qing court. Therefore, the Qing court's three-way army did not take much effort to capture Guizhou. By the time King Jin wanted to defend, the deployment of the imperial court was already chaotic. The Qing soldiers asked Wu Sangui to attack Guixi and cut off the connection between the imperial court and Sichuan, and the Manchu Xinjun Wang Doni and others led people to attack Yunnan. You also know the character of our emperor. At that time, it was transferred to the west, and the king of Shu asked the emperor to turn to Sichuan, and unite the generals of Kuidong to open up the situation of resisting the Qing Dynasty again. However, Zhongshu Jin Gongtoe tried his best to lobby that if he entered Sichuan, there would be various disadvantages. Wen Anzhi was furious when he heard this: "A little Chinese scholar dares to talk about national affairs, this is simply a disaster for the dynasty." ”

Feng Shuangli sighed and said: "Liu Xuan, the lecturer of the Hanlin Academy, heard the people in Sichuan and Guizhou say: 'Fang Jinshu is prosperous, Xunzhen is like a cloud, and the king of Gongchang is all in Zunyi, if Shu is fortunate to prosper, the perfect strategy is also', so he played to the emperor: 'Today, Yunnan is ruined on all sides, and if the car is fortunate to be foreign, no one will be willing to obey the civil and military officials. So that the Mercedes can be taken off, and the feathers are lost, and they are sitting. However, Jianchang has been abundant year after year, and grain and grass have accumulated. If the fake road Xiangling, straight into Jiading, raise the sharp to must, that is, or the army is rampant in Jiayang, warships, merchant ships can brush thousands of ships at a moment, down the river Chongqing, straight to Kuiguan, thirteen Xun heard the saint to arrive, will be sandwiched on the river to welcome. Take advantage of this Welling, and smash the void of Jingxiang, like a spittle! ’”

Zhu Dashan said: "This method is good, this not only reverses the decline of my Ming Dynasty, if all parties work hard, counterattack Guizhou Duyun Mansion, and then go south to Guangxi to seize Qingyuan, Sien, Taiping three mansions, Nanning Mansion Longan, Guohua Prefecture, and then defend to the death, Guangxi Qing army has just occupied and there are many officials who are interested in the Ming Dynasty, it is not difficult to take." In this way, we can trap the hundreds of thousands of Qing troops in the southwest, and then gradually compress them, and defeat them with food shortages, so that it will be difficult for the Qing court to launch a powerful attack on us. ”

Feng Shuangli looked at the young man in front of him curiously, and arranged a big game. If this is the case, the Qing court is in Sichuan, and the Qing soldiers in Huguang are swept away. Wen Anzhi and Liu Tichun were full of praise when they heard it, praising Zhu Dashan.

Feng Shuangli said: "The idea is good, but it is impossible to realize. Zhu Dashan and the others were curious, waiting for Feng Shuangli to explain.

But Feng Shuangli did not explain, but continued to speak: "Under the persuasion of everyone, the emperor and the king of Jin agreed to transfer to Sichuan. However, Mu Tianbo, the prince of Qianguo, said: "Since the west reaches the Burmese decade, its land is rich in grain, and the border is far away. In case the chase slows down a little, according to the danger of Dali's two passes, the situation can also be stabilized' Wen'an Hou Ma Jixiang and his brother Ma Xiongfei and son-in-law Yang were afraid of entering Sichuan, and after the power fell, they also tried their best to advocate that the generals of Kuidong would threaten the status of the King of Jin, and did not listen to the orders of the King of Jin, so as to persuade the Jin King's staff Jin Weixin, who was a native of Yunnan, and had a grudge against the General Army of Jianchang Wei before, and was afraid of retaliation after arriving in Sichuan, so he tried his best to persuade the King of Jin. After the king of Jin was shaken, he wanted to go to Huguang, and he said, "A small Jianchang mansion cannot accommodate the support of an army of 100,000 people; It is better to enter the Hunan Mountains, the car, and the corner. The barbarians are not unified, and I will not refuse them now. In the mountain, the generals will set up the palace at the mouth, and if you win, the six edicts will be restored to me; If you don't win, you will enter the address and summon the ships to sail to Xiamen to discuss with the king of Yanping'" Liu Tichun said: "This can also be done, no matter if you go to Sichuan or Huguang, there are Chengdu, Jiading, and other places in Sichuan, and Pingyu Hou has also recovered Baoning." Even if you go to Huguang, there are also generals from Kuidong to respond. That's right. ”

Feng Shuangli listened to what Liu Tichun said about Pingyuhou, and asked, "Who is Pingyuhou?" was able to recover Baoning, and the king of Shu was not defeated back then. Wen Anzhi pointed at Zhu Dashan and said: "This young hero won the Baoning Mansion with his own hands, and I gave him the title of Pingyu Hou in the name of Inspector Sichuan." Feng Shuangli looked at Zhu Dashan and said, "What a hero is a young man." Terrific. Zhu Dashan saw that Wen Anzhi and Feng Shuangli kept boasting about themselves, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, compared to you, I am very shabby." Feng Shuangli said: "No, you are fine." ”

Feng Shuangli didn't want to say more on this issue, so he continued: "It would be nice if I could really transfer to Sichuan or Huguang, but Ma Jixiang, Ma Xiongfei and others disagreed, so they encouraged the emperor to go west. The king of Jin also thought that he was entering Huguang, on the one hand, he dismissed the people in Kunming, and on the other hand, the whole army was preparing to march into Huguang. Who knew that Ma Jixiang and others actually coerced the emperor to go west first, and even the king of Jin asked the emperor to keep the prince and superintendent, but he did not succeed because of the emperor's reluctance. Zhu Dashan and the others were angry when they heard it, what is this called, it is purely a mess.

Feng Shuangli said: "In order to resist the Qing soldiers, the king of Jin hoarded a large amount of grain and grass in Kunming, and when he was about to go west, the king of Jin sent people to burn grain and grass to avoid the enemy. But at this time, the emperor actually issued an edict saying that he was afraid that the Qing army would enter Kunming without food, plunder the people, and make the people miserable. actually didn't let the king of Jin burn grain. That's why I just said that the plan to calm the situation is good, but it can't be realized. ”

Wen Anzhi and Liu Tichun were greatly annoyed when they heard this, and Zhu Dashan scolded angrily: "What kind of bullshit holy decree is this, if the Qing soldiers have food, they will not slaughter the city, and they will not kill the people." The Qing soldiers might not have pursued them if they had no food, but now that they are good, they are afraid that others will chase and kill their own people without food, so they also give military rations to the Qing soldiers. Is this a pig brain? ”

Although Feng Shuangli, Wen Anzhi and Liu Tichun were also angry in their hearts, they didn't want to scold Zhu Dashan like that.

Feng Shuangli said again: "Since the emperor went west, I have turned to the north, I wanted to enter Sichuan to gain a foothold in Jianchangwei, and then attack the rear road of the Qing army, forcing the Qing army to retreat, who knows that Qi Sansheng's rebellion surrendered to Wu Sangui." Trick me into taking the seal letter to the army in front of the army, and I will hand it over to Wu Sangui. I have been locked up for several months, and half a month ago I was suddenly escorted to the north, and then I was rescued by that good man in Suining. ”

Only then did Zhu Dashan and others know why Feng Shuangli appeared in Sichuan, and why the Qing soldiers had Ai Nengqi's waist card. After everyone solved their doubts, they were all worried about the current situation of the imperial court, it has been seven months, can the imperial court escape?

Just when Zhu Dashan, Wen Anzhi and Feng Shuangli were worried about the imperial court, Zhou Dazhu, who had been listening quietly, suddenly said: "If the imperial court is gone, how can we resist the Qing Dynasty." Hearing Zhou Dazhu's words, everyone present was cold. Zhu Dashan said: "Yes, if there is no imperial court, how can we resist the Qing Dynasty?" How about resisting the Qing Dynasty? Does it still make sense for us to resist the Qing Dynasty? What will our other anti-Qing forces do? ”

Wen Anzhi and Feng Shuangli didn't dare to think about it when they heard it, if there was no court, there would be no emperor. All the anti-Qing forces are like a plate of loose sand, a plate of real loose sand. At that time, as long as the Qing court surrendered with one move, a large number of people went out to surrender.

Zhu Dashan muttered: "No wonder the Chengdu Mansion guards voted for the Qing soldiers, they must have received the news first." Liu Tichun said: "This news must be concealed, if we go out through a little wind, our army will disperse immediately." ”

Zhou Dazhu said: "Do you want to hide it?" The Qing army will not announce it when they find out. Wen Anzhi and Feng Shuangli said: "Yes, you can't hide it." You can only think about what you can do to minimize the impact. Zhu Dashan said: "If it really doesn't work, tell them to forget it, everyone should run for their lives." Wen Anzhi roared: "What are you talking about? Isn't it anti-clear? and each of them fled for their lives,"

When Zhu Dashan heard Wen Anzhi's words, he cried with sadness in his heart: "The court is gone, what are we fighting against the Qing Dynasty, and who are we going to resist the Qing Dynasty." Liu Tichun also had a sour nose, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yes, it's been seven months, and the emperor is afraid that he will be more than lucky." What can we do, go back to the mountain, everyone ask for more blessings, I won't be able to vote for me, the big deal is death. Zhou Dazhu also said: "You can go back to the mountain, but where are we going?" Do we still have a place to go? ”

Wen Anzhi couldn't speak, Zhu Dashan listened to Zhou Dazhu's words, and thought: "Yes, I originally wanted to rely on the Qing court and farm some land at home, but the Qing court's government must have gone on the road of rebellion." Originally, I wanted to rely on the tree of the Ming Dynasty, wait for the peace, and be a person of the world seriously, but the Ming court said that it would be gone, what should I do? Is there anything else you can rely on? ”

The more Zhu Dashan thought about it, the more hideous he became, and Wen Anzhi and Liu Tichun also saw that Zhu Dashan's face became more and more ugly, only to see that his face became more and more fierce, and his eyes were sharp. muttered in his mouth: "Relying on the mountains and mountains, relying on everyone to arrive, Lao Tzu does not rely on anyone, and they all force Lao Tzu not to give him a way to live." Okay, come on, Lao Tzu only relies on myself, and I always have to fight a piece of the sky. ”
