Chapter 1698: The Uncle King also has ambitions
Shen Wenkui on the side did not change his expression, he arched his hand and said: "King Wu's intention is not to use King Jian Jun to blackmail the prince, in fact, when His Royal Highness King Wu sent someone to send a message to Wen Kui, he said that he was ready to release King Jian Jun." ”
Zilharang was stunned for a moment, frowned, and glanced at Shen Wenkui in surprise, "Then what does he mean?" ”
Shen Wenkui replied: "King Wu's original words are, if the general trend is today, anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly, the Qing army has turned to the defensive, and in the northwest, the rise of the Great Western Army is unstoppable, directly under the south of the Yellow River, and it is not far from the recovery ......." ”
"Not necessarily!" Jierharang shouted inwardly, "There are still millions of people in our dynasty who control the strings, even if they have to withdraw from the customs, they can still enter the customs again, not to mention that Shaanxi, Shanxi, Shandong, and Henan are all in my hands, but the Jianxing Dynasty, as well as Wu Zheng's Great General's Mansion, I'm afraid it can't support it for too long, right?" Just a piece of land, raising an army of 200,000, but not production, stunned to regard the business as a foundation...... This king will see how long he can jump! ”
Shen Wenkui grinned and retorted: "What the prince said does have a certain amount of truth, but after thinking about it, there are also unsatisfactory points...... Can the prince allow Wenkui to speak clearly? ”
"Speak!"
"There are indeed millions of controllable people in the Qing Dynasty, but the prince also knows that among the millions of troops, the Manchu and Han Eight Banners account for less than 20%, and the rest of the army is all reorganized from the former Ming Dynasty...... Dare to ask the prince, since these Han armies can be surrendered to the Qing, why can't they return to the Ming? For example, as far as Wen Kui knows, Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi in the northwest, was ordered to retreat, but he was stuck in the Xi'an area, why? ”
Jierharang's face changed, and he glared at Shen Wenkui fiercely, without saying a word.
Shen Wenkui ignored it and continued: "As for the lack of financial resources of the Jianxing Dynasty and the Great General's Mansion mentioned by the prince, it is not false...... It's just that Wen Kui wants to ask the prince, how much is left in the Qing Dynasty treasury...... According to Wen Kui, the food and salary of the 360,000 troops in the west have not been allocated for seven months, right? Not only Wu Sangui's department, but also the Red Banner Han Army's Meng Qiaofang Department, the Han Army's Wang Yongqiang Department, etc., have not been paid for more than half a year. ”
Zilharang's face turned pale, but this time, the fierceness in his eyes gradually converged.
Shen Wenkui heard it clearly, and he smiled slightly: "As for what the prince accuses, under the rule of King Wu, there is no production, only business...... According to Wen Kui's knowledge, King Wu has married the King of Yongli Jin, which is an alliance, Shu and Huguang are all grain-producing areas, and the King of Jin supplies military food for the Northern Expeditionary Army, so it is not difficult to come, right? ”
Zilharang's face became solemn.
"Before Wen Kui came to the palace, he had just received news from the south that the navy division under the command of the General's Mansion had purchased 3 million stones of grain from Annam, Sarawak, Luzon, Brunei and other countries in the South China Sea, and the first batch of nearly 500,000 stones had been transported to Wusong Port."
Speaking of this, Shen Wenkui glanced at Ji'er Harang, and continued: "Maybe the prince also thinks that he can follow this move, and the Qing Dynasty also has a water master...... But Wen Kui advised the prince, don't think about it, the sailors under the command of King Wu have already laid a net along the coast, and the Daqing Water Division is afraid that as soon as the Dagu Pass comes out, the whole army will be wiped out! ”
Zilharang's face turned pale, but he sneered in his mouth.
Qian Qianyi on the side heard that he had a little clarity on the side, it turned out that Wu Zheng didn't want to plot against Ji'er Harang, so what did he want to do?
Fortunately, Shen Wenkui quickly relieved his doubts.
Shen Wenkui said: "King Wu doesn't want to be difficult for the prince, but he just wants to make a peace agreement with the prince, which is not only a good thing for the benefit of the world, but also enables the prince to show his ambitions...... Let's ask, is the Qing Dynasty really something that a teenager can bear? The prince has gone one step further, which is really the blessing of the Jizong Temple of the Great Qing Society! ”
Qian Qianyi was stunned, what did Wu Zheng want to do to instigate the Manchu coup?
This is ridiculous...... No, it seems that there are some possibilities, but now that Dorgon is dead, and all the power of the court has fallen into the hands of Zilharang, and he is an uncle and a clansman, this idea is still feasible...... Qian Qianyi looked at Shen Wenkui in a daze, and then at Zierharang.
His face changed drastically, he knew that this was the case, he shouldn't have rushed to see Zilharang today, such a big thing let himself hear...... Qian Qianyi has a feeling that he has been cheated, and he is not guilty.
Qian Qianyi is neither advancing nor retreating at this time.
And over there, Zilharang suddenly laughed, he smiled, but his smile was fleeting, and then he turned a cold face and said, "Seek skin with the tiger...... He thinks that this king can be fooled? ”
"No, His Royal Highness King Wu is sincere."
"Oh? Let's talk about his sincerity. ”
"Guangxin Wei will stop at Fengyang Mansion." Shen Wenkui explained, "The Northern Expeditionary Army does not enter Xuzhou...... The prince should know that the three prefectures of Luzhou, Anqing, and Fengyang are actually not owned by the Qing Dynasty. ”
"Where's Haizhou?"
Shen Wenkui replied: "According to the area of Huai'an Mansion as the boundary. ”
"What about Henan?"
Shen Wenkui pondered for a moment and replied: "What King Wu means, that side is the Great Western Army of the King of Yongli Jin, which belongs to the two dynasties, and King Wu can't promise any ......." ”
"Haha...... Ha ha. Zilharang burst out laughing, but there was no smile on his face, "He has a good calculation, I am fighting to the death with Li Dingguo's Western Army, he is sitting on the side of the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and finally the snipe and clam fight, the fisherman profits, and then he destroys the peace treaty, this world ...... Hehe, it's his, okay...... Good...... Well, good strategy! ”
Shen Wenkui looked a little surprised, he hesitated: "Then according to the prince's opinion, what should I do?" ”
Qian Qianyi's heart suddenly rose, not that he was really loyal to the Manchus, but that he was eager to know how Zilharang would answer.
If Zilharang takes the opportunity to put forward his request or plan, then today's pit is dug for himself, that is to say, it is Zilharang who deliberately left himself and was involved in this matter, then Jilharang must have requirements for himself.
What could it be? Qian Qianyi couldn't help but get nervous.
Over there, Zierharang squinted his eyes as if he was asleep, and did not answer Shen Wenkui.
Shen Wenkui was also nervous at this time, and he was no longer as confident as before.
Suddenly, Zierharang opened his eyes and said to Shen Wenkui: "The Great Western Army must stop in Macheng, this is the bottom limit of this king. ”
Shen Wenkui listened, took a light breath, nodded and said, "Wenkui will transfer the prince's request to His Royal Highness King Wu ......." ”
"There's no hurry." Zilharang interrupted, "The king is not done yet. ”
Shen Wenkui hurriedly responded, "Please make it clear to the prince." ”
"Yanzhou Dolbo, Fengyang Azig...... These two people and their army, what did King Wu plan in his heart? ”
"This ...... This requires sending someone back to King Wu, and then King Wu will send someone to show ....... ”
