Chapter 17: The Fourteenth Year of Shunzhi (4)

In history, Sun Kewang set off a civil war, and Bai Wenxuan connected a large number of generals who were interested in the Ming court behind him, including Ma Jinzhong, Ma Weixing and Ma Bao, the "three horses" of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Ma Jinzhong did not go on the expedition, but he was sitting in Anshun Mansion in Guizhou; Ma Weixing backstabbed Sun Kewang, who was about to win a big victory with him at this moment, and he also made great contributions; And that Ma Bao is the hero who resisted Zhang Sheng and Wu Dading.

Now, because of the good momentum on Chen Kai's side, Ma Bao did not join Sun Kewang's command because of his brother Ma Weixing's relationship. However, such a change directly led to the lack of accomplices in the troops sent by Sun Kewang to attack Kunming, which made the situation there even more unfavorable to the Ming court.

Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Bai Wenxuan didn't know that Ma Bao had a hand in history, but Zhang Sheng's position was well understood. Their presence, especially the presence of Wang Shangli in Kunming City, made the Ming court unable to get rid of this huge threat even if it broke Sun Kewang's army in Jiaoshui.

"Today, Zhang Sheng attacked Yunnan Mansion, Wang Ziqi is based on Yongchang, I should save him; You can chase after the anthology with the text, and you will be caught. ”

The division of labor was quickly made, and Liu Wenxiu and Bai Wenxuan continued to pursue, especially against Sun Kewang. On the other hand, Li Dingguo couldn't take care of the fatigue of the sergeants, and hurriedly led his troops and horses to Kunming.

Jiaoshui is not far from the north of Qujing City, and Qujing has always been the gateway to Kunming. Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu fought a decisive battle with Sun Kewang here, and they were also worried about Wang Shangli and Wang Ziqi, but now that there is one more Zhang Sheng, under the difficulties of internal and external affairs, the danger factor in Kunming is even greater, I don't know how many times.

The army returned in a hurry, but it still needed time, compared to the seven thousand iron horsemen who had already set off overnight last night, they were definitely at a disadvantage in speed. The only thing that can be counted on now is that the Kunming City side can hold on for a little longer, at least until Lubu Feijie arrives.

"Now, it's all about Jin Tongwu and Mu Tianbo."

The war horse under the crotch followed the advance of the army and then moved towards the distance to the south, and Li Dingguo's line of sight could not see the Kunming city.

However, in today's Kunming City, in the panic of the people, those gentry and people who did not choose to take refuge in other places, just like the emperor and the officials in the court, are all waiting for the battle situation on the front line. It's just that compared with those dignitaries in the court, the pressure on them to choose is less and greater, and it is nothing more than the result of being in a different position.

The early dynasty had ended, and Emperor Yongli left Jin Tongwu and Mu Tianbo behind. These two people, one is a close confidant of Li Dingguo, and the other is a noble who has been inherited from the founding of the Ming Dynasty since the founding of the country. These are the two people he can trust the most at the moment, and there are some things that can only be said to them, because he doesn't know who else is secretly hooking up with Sun Kewang besides Wang Shangli.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, no matter what the war is, the ministers will defend the Son of Heaven with death."

Mu Tianbo solemnly bowed to the ground, Emperor Yongli hurriedly got up, rushed to the front in three steps and two steps, and helped Mu Tianbo up again.

"King Zhaojing of Qianning was once the righteous son of Emperor Taizu Gao, and I and Guogong were relatives of my family. If the country does not exist, I will serve as the emperor and die, and the prince will just take a step ahead of me. ”

Saying that, Emperor Yongli was already with tears in his eyes, and he saw that Mu Tianbo was also an old tear. Regarding what King Zhaojing of Qianning did, Jin Tongwu did not read much, if he hadn't seen such a scene, it would have been difficult to realize that it would make the ancestors of the Mu family. It was the first time he had heard about Mu Ying being Zhu Yuanzhang's righteous son, but at the moment his attention was not on this at all, seeing that this pair of monarchs and ministers were dying and dying, it was really unlucky.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Jin will definitely be able to defeat Sun Reverse!"

There is also a Li Dingguo's cronies, and when Emperor Yongli heard this, he also hurriedly expressed his position, saying that he absolutely believed in Li Dingguo's military talent. It's just that in this Kunming city, Jin Tongwu's troops are only a few thousand people, and Mu Tianbo is even less. However, Wang Shangli has more troops than they combined, which really makes them sit on pins and needles.

"Wechen has always been staring at that guy, if he dares to make a move, he will be beheaded and sacrificed to the bottom of the stairs."

Jin Tongwu's martial courage and loyalty, Emperor Yongli has seen it in the past two years. He believed that Li Dingguo had an order, and he would definitely fight to the death. However, whether it can really be as he said, he is not optimistic at all, because Wang Shangli's department is the elite that Sun Kewang stayed in Yunnan, and it was all because of the prestige of Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, the two princes of Daxi, plus his identity as an emperor, that he could be convinced. If he really made a move, it was obvious that the other party had already ignored his identity as an emperor, and with the thousands of soldiers and horses of Jin Tongwu and Mu Tianbo, even the former was the elite of the headquarters under the command of King Jin, I am afraid that he may not be able to gain any benefits.

"We still have to try to control Wang Shangli, but if we force it, it will only force Wang Shangli's subordinates to set off a rebellion, but it will damage the overall situation."

………………

"Minister, Wang Shangli to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

"Aiqing is flat."

Jin Tongwu and Mu Tianbo had not yet left, and Emperor Yongli sent a lieutenant to invite Wang Shangli over, saying that he wanted to discuss the war.

Wang Shangli is Sun Kewang's cronies, and when he discusses the military situation of dealing with other people's allegiances, not only Jin Tongwu and Mu Tianbo, but even Wang Shangli is also full of confusion - as far as he is concerned, with his identity, at this time, the Yongli Imperial Court should be strictly guarded against him, even if he sleeps, it is reasonable to keep his eyes open and stare at his every move, but now it is like this, which really makes him scratch his head.

The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and since the order has been summoned, there is no reason why he should not come. During this time, Emperor Yongli was very biting on the military information transmitted from the front line about the military situation between Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang's army in Jiaoshui contact, and then pulled Jin Tongwu, Mu Tianbo and Wang Shangli to discuss it together. Discuss the offensive and defensive paths of the two sides, discuss the chances of victory on both sides, discuss all possible accidents, and deal with the response after the accident, so detailed that if it is placed in the Wanli Dynasty, it will definitely be preached by the civilian group.

From the afternoon to the evening, Emperor Yongli was very open. As soon as he was happy, he left the three of them to eat in the palace, and after the meal, they let each go back to their homes.

"Guogong, the emperor's side ......"

"I just asked about the battle defense, and the prince of my country looked at it, and the emperor probably felt that Jin Tongwu and Mu Tianbo's abilities were limited, so he wanted to hear the opinion of the prince of my country."

asked Wang Shangli about how to defeat Sun Kewang, such an absurd scene, Wang Shangli accompanied the performance for an afternoon, and after returning home, he was already too tired to do anything, and after a little washing, he fell asleep. Who knew that early the next morning, he had just gotten up, and before he had time to use breakfast, the lieutenant who came to pass him on yesterday came again, and even asked him to enter the palace to see him.

"Aiqing hasn't had breakfast yet, it's just right, I haven't used breakfast either, I've already called the imperial dining room to prepare, let's talk while eating."

After one night, Emperor Yongli's attitude became even closer. However, there are no Jin Tongwu and Mu Tianbo today, and there are just a few eunuchs and guards with big shoulders and round waists. As for the two of them, Mu Tianbo had seen them when he entered the palace, and they were still busy inspecting the defense of the Praetorian Guards; And Jin Tongwu's side, according to Emperor Yongli, said that he was going to inspect the city defense, so he won't come today.

"I recruited Aiqing to come over today, but it was Aiqing's words yesterday that made me suddenly enlightened. Therefore, there are still some things and ideas that I would like to hear from Aiqing. ”

After breakfast, digesting and digesting, it was like this again, Wang Shangli had to be energetic, continued to listen to Emperor Yongli's questions, and answered them according to the questions. But this time, Emperor Yongli asked what would happen to Kunming if the King of Jin failed to repel Sun Kewang.

"The ministers should defend the city with the Duke of Qianguo and the Marquis of Pingyang, and buy time for the two royal highnesses of the King of Jin and the King of Shu, as well as other royal divisions."

Wang Shangli couldn't wait to make a statement, Emperor Yongli was very pleased, and Haosheng comforted and encouraged, but he didn't seem to have much confidence in defending Kunming.

"There are some things that I shouldn't have said, but Aiqing is loyal and knowledgeable about military affairs, so I have to rely on Aiqing."

"Your Majesty, but it doesn't hurt to say it, the minister will do his best."

Tiger and Tiger said this, Wang Shangli said very hard, and Emperor Yongli was also very moved. Next, Emperor Yongli said his thoughts, who knew that once the King of Jin was defeated, he planned to withdraw from Kunming City with the imperial court, and then Wang Shangli, Jin Tongwu and Mu Tianbo would need to cooperate to protect the imperial court.

The defeat of "this ......" has not yet come, and this long-legged genius is already thinking about escaping. This scene really stunned Wang Shangli. However, he was also killed from the sea of corpses and blood in the Northland, and his reaction was never slow, even if he said that no matter whether Emperor Yongli stayed or left, he would be on his side, and he would never dare to live up to the grace of the saint.

forcibly persuading Emperor Yongli to stay, this is more beneficial to Sun Kewang, who wins, but if he says so, it is easier to arouse Emperor Yongli's suspicion. So, following Emperor Yongli's words, he went along with what he said, and even if he made Emperor Yongli very happy.

"Aiqing is also a famous general who can fight well, and after talking about it in the past two days, I only feel that it is too late to see each other. If you get the power of Aiqing early, you may not be forced out of Liangguang by the Tartars. In the future, there will be opportunities to make contributions, and the title of a duke is not worthy of Aiqing's talent! ”

This is already a promise to be added to the official and knighted, and Wang Shangli even showed gratitude. is even more sworn to die to repay the king's kindness, and bought enough strength to show loyalty.

Soon it was already noon, and he had lunch in the palace again, which was already a great grace. In the afternoon, Mu Tianbo really came, and Emperor Yongli immediately brought up the old matter again, talking about the idea of evacuating Kunming once the war was unfavorable, and wanted to hear Mu Tianbo's opinion.

"Your Majesty, this must not be done. The King of Jin and the King of Shu will definitely be able to defeat Sun Rei, even if they fail to do their best, with the high pool and deep pool of Kunming City and the full storage, they will be able to hold out for a while. When the time comes, the armies of the King of Jin and the King of Shu, as well as the army of King Qin transferred from all over the country, will naturally be able to cooperate with the outside world. ”

Regarding the evacuation, Mu Tianbo was opposed. This is Kunming, where the ancestors of his family have guarded the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, and he will never be able to respond positively emotionally.

During this time, Mu Tianbo Rusi, Emperor Yongli refused to go down in person, and hurriedly glanced at Wang Shangli, who saw it, and even took over the words: "Kunming is strong, and what the Duke of Qianguo said is indeed the right thing for the soldiers." But he ignored one point, that is, the emperor's safety. You must know that the emperor is the inevitable winner of Sun Rebellion, if there is no emperor, the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty will be broken, and even if Sun Rebellion can be defeated at that time, the situation in the world will be difficult to control. ”

Wang Shangli talked eloquently, starting from the importance of the co-lord of the world, the more he continued, the smoother he became. Thinking about it, there was a Ming Dynasty civil official named Yang Weizhi who had said similar words to Sun Kewang countless times before, and he had also listened to them many times, and he was able to memorize them. And the reason why he can remember it so clearly is that Yang Weizhi was ordered by Sun Kewang to kill him, and the reason is that Yang Weizhi accepted the appointment of the cabinet ministers of the Yongli Imperial Court at the same time that the Qin Feng agreement was reached.

After arguing for an afternoon, Wang Shangli and Mu Tianbo failed to convince each other. After tossing and turning, Emperor Yongli stayed for dinner, but he was made angry by Mu Tianbo, so he returned to the mansion under the pretext that the three meals were in the palace and did not have any dignity. It's just that after returning home, he suddenly remembered that in fact, he couldn't convince Mu Tianbo that it was the right way, and this afternoon was obviously a little too strong.

"The right is to paralyze the emperor."

He didn't dwell on this. Just let go of this thought, he suddenly remembered that Emperor Yongli said that he was going to evacuate Kunming, once Li Dingguo's army was defeated, Mu Tianbo couldn't stop Emperor Yongli, and he had to follow to ensure that the emperor was in hand. At that time, the real question is actually where this long-legged son intends to run, and if you want to try to keep him in the city, you must start from this aspect first. To be exact, the road is sealed first.

"Withdrawing from Kunming, according to the situation at that time, it is definitely necessary to flee Yunnan. It is impossible to go north, to the south and west are vassal states, and it seems that nine times out of ten this emperor is planning to flee to Guangdong and go to vote for Zheng Ci and Chen Kai. No, he must not be allowed to escape to Guangdong, otherwise it will be difficult for King Qin to catch him again. ”

Thinking about it like this, Wang Shangli began to recall the black history of Zheng Chenggong and Chen Kai, which was really difficult for a military general like him, so he simply found all the staff. It's that Gong Yi, he originally wanted to find it, but this person has clearly stood on Sun Kewang's side, and discussing with him now will destroy his image in the eyes of Emperor Yongli.

Character design is very important, Wang Shangli understands this truth, so he must be even more cautious. While letting the staff help recall the black history of the Zheng Group, they also have to transform these persuasions into loyal and patriotic words and tones. It's been two days since he said this, and today is such a diligent preparation for class, Wang Shangli sometimes can't distinguish his own position, and it seems that there are some signs of personality split.

On the next day, Emperor Yongli sent someone to summon him into the palace. This time, Emperor Yongli did not mention the evacuation again, because Mu Tianbo was not there, but Jin Tongwu was beside him, and the emperor really did not want to say the assumption that Li Dingguo was defeated in front of Jin Tongwu.

After chatting all morning, we talked about old things. From the beginning of Tang Gui's contention and Lin Cha's independent resistance to the Yongli Imperial Court, he pulled Wang Shangli to help him analyze the disposition of the civil and military officials at that time. Most of them ended in failure, although Wang Shangli didn't know the situation very well, but Emperor Yongli showed up to say that he only needed an afterthought to be able to deal with the past. At the end of the day, Emperor Yongli was even more impressed by his military talents, comparing him with Li Dingguo, talking about how Sun Kewang was so good-sighted, leaving such a famous general in Yunnan to retire, instead of sending him to Hunan to fight the Qing army.

After another day of coaxing, back in the house, Wang Shangli was excited about this compliment. But after the excitement, he still realized where Emperor Yongli was going to run, he didn't ask, and he didn't have a chance to block the retreat.

So, after another night of lessons, the next day the lieutenant came to summon him as always, and he rushed over directly. Thinking that when I got there, I exchanged a few words and began to knock on the side. Who knows, before the greetings ended, an officer came running outside the palace, saying that Jin Tongwu sent a letter, and Zhang Sheng and Wu Dading took 7,000 iron horsemen to Kunming City, and he was blocked outside the city.

"Your Majesty, please lead your headquarters to the city to help in the battle!"

Zhang Sheng actually came, of course Wang Shangli didn't know Sun Kewang's plan, but Sun Kewang defeated Li Dingguo, and Zhang Sheng took the cavalry as the vanguard to capture Kunming City. At this time, it is no longer important to seal the retreat or anything, the important thing is to open the city gate for Zhang Sheng, and even as long as he returns to the barracks, he can gather troops and take the palace directly, and it is useless to talk about it here.

Wang Shangli asked for his life, which was very righteous and awe-inspiring. However, hearing this, the Son of Heaven sitting on the dragon chair said a word faintly, only to hear him as if he had been bombarded by the Nine Heavens Xuan Thunder, and the whole person was directly stunned on the spot.

"Your Majesty, what did you say?"

"Wang Shangli, Your Majesty is asking you, are you planning to cooperate with Zhang Shengli?!"

The sound came from the gate behind him, Wang Shangli turned his head to look, but it was Mu Tianbo who strode in, and with a shake of his right hand, a meteor hammer slipped out of the cuff and was lifted in his hand.

Although Mu Tianbo said that his military talent was not good, after all, he was born in Jiangmen, and he has been guarding Yunnan for generations, and his martial arts are extremely good, especially if he is good at using a meteor hammer, he is superb, and twenty or thirty people can't enter his body. When Wang Shangli entered the palace, he had already untied his sword, and now he was defenseless, and when he turned his head, beside the dragon chair, the eunuchs and guards with big shoulders and round waists had already protected Emperor Yongli to an impermeable one. In such a situation, he only understood everything in an instant.

It turned out that from the beginning to the end, they were just trying to contain him in the palace so that he would not have a chance to raise an army. As for those words, they are just an excuse for the two monarchs to coax him!

"This emperor has never been a fool, but he is longer than the hands of a woman in the deep palace, and he is a concubine, and his temperament is a little weaker."

I can't remember who said anything like that to him, but at this moment, Wang Shangli looked at the strict formation in front of the emperor, and looked at Mu Tianbo, who was holding a meteor hammer and was approaching with steady steps, he had already figured it out - now, it was useless to do anything.

"But now that he is a tiger in a cage, he won't bother Qian Guogong to stretch out his hand."

With a long sigh, Wang Shangli immediately turned to his side and ran with his feet, only to die on the pillar of the main hall in an instant.
