Chapter 65: My Family
Li Guo felt that the Yue Ming court and the Longwu court were both the same hill, and the Longwu court also had a territory of He Tengjiao, a governor of Huguang and half of Huguang, and the territory of the Yue Ming court was almost limited to Zhejiang Province, and there was no foundation in Huguang, so it was better to have a good talk with He Tengjiao of the Longwu Dynasty if he was loyal to the Yue people.
It's just that Li Guo obviously felt that his reasons were very convincing, but the generals of the Dashun Dynasty who were present were indifferent and didn't listen to Li Guo's opinions at all, and even Gao Yigong, who withdrew from northern Shaanxi with Li Guo, was now silent, only the Empress Dowager Gao blushed for some reason.
In the end, it was Tian Jianxiu who broke the silence of the audience, he told Li Guo: "We have indeed contacted the Zhejiang side and had a very good talk, the Zhejiang side is different from He Tengjiao, the dog governor, very sincere, and in August, the Yue Ming army won on the river, not only annihilated 40,000 people in the Bolobel Division, but also severely damaged the tens of thousands of people in the Duoduo Department of the Yu King, and beat the thief Duoduo back to Nanjing!"
Few of the generals of the Dashun Army present were not very familiar with Bolo, but they gritted their teeth with hatred for Duoduo, the prince of Yu.
At the end of last year and the beginning of this year, Li Zicheng took the main force of the Dashun army and Duoduo to launch a strategic decisive battle related to the fate of the two countries in Tongguan, but the final result was the complete defeat of the Dashun State.
Several other major wars related to the fate of the Great Shun Kingdom, Prince Yu Duoduo also let the Great Shun Army not take any advantage, and now I heard that this old opponent lost his armor in the hands of the Yue Ming Army and felt particularly happy, even Li Guo and Gao Yigong, who did not participate in the battle of Tongtou, felt that this was a rare good news, and the Yue Ming Dynasty with a brilliant record seemed to be more trustworthy and more promising than the Longwu Dynasty.
But Li Guo still insisted on his opinion: "The Yue Ming court helped us to avenge a big revenge, but since they are all under the banner of the Ming Kingdom, and they are also the small sincerity of the Ming Kingdom, then they are not fellow travelers with us!"
Tian Jianxiu laughed: "I have the same worries as General Li Guo, until we really got in touch with Zhejiang, I didn't know that Zhejiang also wanted to contact us, and I also saw my own people!"
Although Gao Yigong knew some insider information in advance, Tian Jianxiu's "own people" made him puzzled: "Where did you come from?" That's the court of the Ming Kingdom!"
Tian Jianxiu immediately said very angrily: "I received a handwritten letter from the Xing family and Cheng Liangye sent by her, these are all my own people, and the Empress of Jianguo and Liu Yongxi, the king of Yue, let her take full charge of Zhao'an affairs. ”
Although Tian Jianxiu mentioned the names "Xing's" and "Cheng Liangye", most of the generals of the Dashun Army present had some impressions of these two names, but they couldn't remember what their origins were, and only Gao Yigong reacted: "Xing's? The Xing family who went away with Gao Jie? Isn't she Mrs. Xingpingbo now? By the way, I just heard that Gao Jie has died in Suizhou last time!"
When it comes to Gao Jie and Xing, everyone finally remembered that many of the older generals of the Dashun Army have not only seen Xing, but also received supplies in her hands, but at that time, no one expected that Xing would join Gao Jie and join the official army and become the real enemy of the Dashun Army.
Over the years, the Dashun army has suffered a lot at the hands of Gao Jie, but it has also hit Gao Jiejun several times, and the two sides originally had inextricable grievances, so everyone once thought that after Li Zicheng won the world, Gao Jie and Xing's adulterers and adulterers were destined to be a dead end.
However, after the Qing army entered the customs, the situation in the world completely changed, Li Zicheng and Gao Jie were already a pile of bones, and the generals of the Dashun Army who were present now couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard that the Yue Ming Dynasty was presided over by the Xing family.
In any case, Mrs. Xing used to be her own person, how could there be a period of incense, even Li Guo was very surprised and asked: "Why is it that the Yue Ming court will be the Xing family to preside over the negotiations?" Men have always been responsible for this kind of thing!"
He really wanted to say "this is a woman", but considering that Empress Dowager Gao was present, he could only use a more tactful statement, and Mianhou Yuan Zongdi immediately talked about the more detailed situation: "I'm afraid you don't know, now Xing is already the wife of King Yue, and she is particularly favored in front of King Yue, and as long as Gao Jie's subordinates vote for Yue Ming, they are all on the rise, and Xing Shengping is already a Tianmenman!"
When it came to Xing Shengping, everyone felt more and more cordial, but some people asked, "Isn't it Yue Guogong?" And Liu Yongxi, the Duke of Yueguo, seems to be only twenty years old this year? ”
Even if they hadn't seen Mrs. Xing with their own eyes, they knew that Mrs. Xing was a little older than Liu Yongxi, but Yuan Zongdi immediately explained the specific situation to them: "Mrs. Xing is only thirty years old this year, and it is the most delicate and moving time.
Everyone talks about gossip, naturally the more they talk, the happier they become, and although Gao Jie's old department is a Ming official army, they are all from Zhao'an thieves, since the Yue Ming court can reuse Gao Jie's old generals, and even named Xing Shengping as the Tianmen Bo, it can naturally accommodate them The remnants of the Dashun army, some people have already understood: "I wonder, how did the Yue Ming army suddenly become so powerful, and even beat Duoduo to the point of losing his armor, it turned out to be the reason for receiving the rest of Gao Jie, this is a good thing, a great good thing!"
Only Li Guo and a very small number of people were not very happy, but they also felt that if they had to choose between the Yue Ming court and the Longwu court, they would definitely choose the Yue Ming court, which was more sincere and had a more foundation for cooperation, as the object of cooperation.
But Li Guo still expressed his worries: "Mrs. Xing is half of her own person, and it is a good thing for her to preside over the negotiations, but our Dashun Kingdom and Ming Kingdom have a hatred of destroying the country after all, and Yue Ming has no foundation in Huguang, so I am afraid that we will suffer under the banner of Zhejiang!"
This is a problem that everyone is worried about, Tian Jianxiu, who has always been known for his generosity, stood up to help Zhejiang speak: "Our two families do have a hatred of destroying the country, but it is precisely because Yue Ming has no foundation in Huguang, so we have the basis for cooperation, don't worry about being excluded and used as a trick, and now Zhejiang is the queen of the prison country, the princess of the prison country and the king of Yue Liu Yongxi Bingzheng, two women plus a teenager, is not orthodox in the Ming Dynasty at all, but because it is not orthodox in the Ming Dynasty, it will be pleasant to cooperate!"
Yuan Zongdi added: "I have also contacted Mrs. Xing's side, and they made it very clear that now Yueming has no foundation in Huguang, so they can only help us solve part of the military salary and allow us to play the banner of Yueming!"
Someone immediately asked: "Xing Shengping has already sealed the Heavenly Gate, so what about our title and position in Dashun Kingdom?" ”
This is the issue that is of paramount concern to everyone, and it is a very sensitive issue.
After a series of failures and reorganizations, the strength of these great Shunguo generals has been far from their titles and positions
For example, Tian Jianxiu was a general of Zhuying Power in the Dashun Dynasty, and his status was equivalent to Liu Zongmin, but now he only has 7,000 soldiers under him, and he is only an ordinary general in terms of strength, and Yuan Zongdi, the general of the right battalion system, only has 3,000 soldiers, while his old subordinate Liu Tichun has 30,000 people, and Liu Tichun's younger brother Liu Titong also has 20,000 soldiers.
The reason why Hao Shaoqi and Wang Jincai stayed in Hunan and used it was because they had a low status in the Dashun army, but they took advantage of the opportunity of defeat and chaos to master a large army, Hao Shaoqi had 40,000 people, and Wang Jincai was even known as having 76,000 soldiers, so naturally there was a contradiction with these veterans who were feudal lords.
And now these veterans hope to keep their original positions, while the rising stars who have more strength hope to use this opportunity to consolidate their positions.
And the reason why Tian Jianxiu is so enthusiastic about this matter is naturally that Mrs. Xing has reached a useful consensus: "Mrs. Xing is very sincere in this matter, she said that the Yue Ming Dynasty has not yet recovered the southern capital, and there is no major event for the time being, but the Huguang Righteous Army can first form an army of its own, and she also put forward a most sincere proposal on behalf of the King of Yue!"
Only a very small number of people knew about this "most sincere suggestion", so many people were so nervous that they held their breath, and some people asked with great concern: "What suggestions did Zhejiang put forward?" ”
Li Guo also frowned: "Is this the suggestion of King Yue or the suggestion of the Xing family?" ”
Tian Jianxiu said generously: "Although it is Mrs. Xing's suggestion, it must be acquiesced by King Yue, Li Guo, haven't you always wanted to invite the Queen Mother to come out to govern?" Mrs. Xing also thinks that our two or three hundred thousand Dashun army must be led by someone, and the military affairs of Huguang and Yushan should be governed by the Queen Mother!"
When Empress Dowager Gao heard this, she lowered her head and didn't dare to see anyone, but Li Guo felt that this matter was not so simple: "General Quan, if you say it clearly, I don't believe that the Xing family will be so kind and will hand over such an important name to our Dashun army!"
In a certain form, this is the continuation of the banner of the Great Shun Dynasty in another form, and the generals of the Great Shun Army present also felt a little incredible, and Yuan Zongdi said with a smile: "Mrs. Xing means that she and the Empress Dowager Gao are good sisters, although there are twists and turns in the middle, but in the end, they can still go the same way!"
Yuan Zongdi's words were a little implicit, but many people already understood the meaning of his words.
Although the Empress Dowager Gao kept her head down and didn't speak, she had to stand up and say at this time: "Sister Xing means that since she can have a good relationship with King Yue, I can do the same, as long as I become Mrs. Yue Wang and become a family, then all problems are not problems!"
After saying this, Empress Dowager Gao felt that all the strength in her body had been drained, although she was infinitely shy, she was extremely beautiful.
Everyone thought that this plan was unbelievable and almost ridiculous, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that it was quite feasible, only Li Guo grabbed the handle of the knife and said: "This is not good, such an aunt is too wronged!"
