Chapter 631: Traitors Can't Be Afforded!
It's really unimaginable, the lord of the banner of the Qing Dynasty, the king of Pingxi, and the general of Pingxi, Wu Sangui, can't afford to be a traitor now!
When a traitor deserves to be bankrupt...... This is unheard of!
Others have earned money as traitors, but what about him? In the future, it will probably be written in the history of the Qing Dynasty like this: Wu Sangui couldn't repay the debt of two million taels because he was a traitor, so the creditor hacked to death......
But the problem is that he is not a traitor, and Nikan's army of 20,000 will come over!
If Wu Sangui wins in the monk yuan, he is not afraid of Nikan! His 330,000 households worked hard to mobilize, and an army of 100,000 could be pulled out. Nikan will come if there is a kind...... Wu Sangui can defeat Nikan by defeating the battle!
But the problem is that before the blood loss of Monk Yuan was made up, Wu Sangui could not mobilize many troops.
What this kind of landlord soldiers are most afraid of is that they will lose but not make up for it -- they are not only soldiers, but also production units that are responsible for their own profits and losses, and going out to fight is not only their obligation, but also their way of making money.
If their expedition can be exchanged for rolling wealth, the landlord soldiers are the best source of soldiers!
The prosperity of the government soldiers in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Sui and Tang dynasties, the strength of the army in the early Ming Dynasty, and the rise of the Manchurian Eight Banners (the early Eight Banners were also landlord soldiers) actually originated from the "war dividend" - the income from farming and fighting, after subtracting the burden of being a soldier, there are still huge benefits.
In this case, the landlord soldiers were willing to fight and were very reliable.
But once the blood of the landlord soldiers is lost, their willingness to fight will decline rapidly - the burden of the landlord soldiers is very heavy, and they have to spend money to buy a lot of equipment, and some of the rations have to be paid by themselves, so they cannot be supported by a single blood.
This time the battle of Monk Yuan was a bloody loss, and all the thousands of households that sent troops to participate in the war lost their capital, and the following hundred households and the military households that directly sent troops all suffered blood losses.
If he did not fill in this account, Wu Sangui would not have been able to mobilize a new army.
And it takes time to fill out the bills...... Even if Zhu Cihong is willing to give out the silver, two million taels will be transported to Xi'an, and then sent to the thousands, hundreds, and military households below, it will take a few months. The army of Konikan can't wait that long!
In other words, if Wu Sangui is a traitor now, then the pension owed to his subordinates of 330 thousand households will not be paid, and when the time comes, he, the banner master, will be dead.
And if he wants to do it anyway, Nikan will come in immediately, and the 30,000 troops at hand will definitely be unreliable, and he will still be dead and lifeless at that time.
Why is there no way to live?
Wu Sangui thought about it, but he couldn't think of a way to live, and he was so anxious that tears were about to flow.
At this moment, Liu Sheng's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Lord Wang, Xining Wei is in an emergency!" β
Xiningwei? And the Khanate of Heshut? They also called?
Wu Sangui was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Liu Sheng to come in and speak.
"Lord Wang," Liu Sheng walked in and saluted, handing over a copy of the Tang newspaper in hand, "Xining Wei report, University scholar Sonny and Ngawang. Lobsang Gyatso and his entourage have arrived in Xining. β
Zukofa knew who Sonny was, but hadn't heard of Ngawang. Lobsang Gyatso's name, so he asked, "Who is that Ngawang?" β
"They are the largest lamas of the Yellow Gelug sect in Tibet, what are they called Zhu Bigu...... The Mongols call it Hutuketu, which means incarnate Buddha. β
"Oh." Zukfa understood, he knew that Hutuketu, the Mongols of the steppe could be trusted.
Wu Sangui said again: "Originally, I wanted to detain them and exchange them for our hostages in Beijing, but now I ......."
"I have to deduct it now!" Zu Kefa persuaded, "Your son Ying Xiong is still in Beijing!" Sanfeng's family is also in Beijing, so you can't ignore them, right? β
Wu Sangui sighed: "What about Nikan's soldiers?" He's already outside Tongguanwei! β
Zu Kefa thought for a while, "Why don't you ask Xiangyang for help...... The third child of your family is leading troops in Xiangyang, and he has a division of new troops at hand that can be used. β
"It's too late to ......" Wu Sangui shook his head, "It's 2,000 miles back and forth!" And the new army of that division is not just for him to use! β
Wu Sanfu's current position is to supervise the Hubei Military Gate and be in charge of the general military affairs of Nanyang Mansion, and it is true that he can mobilize a new army model division in the defense area, but this division will be sent to Xi'an or Tongguan to guard the ...... Wu Sanfu is afraid that he will have to think about it.
In addition, even if he is willing to send troops, 1,000 miles! It takes 20 days to walk 50 miles a day, and 13 or 4 days to walk 75 miles a day.
Nikan really wants to fight, how can he hit Xi'an Mansion in thirteen or fourteen days......
"Then defend Xi'an!" Wu Sangui gritted his teeth, "I can always support it for more than ten days!" β
At this moment, Liu Sheng on the side suddenly reminded: "Lord Wang, you can also ask His Royal Highness the Acting King of Shanxi for help." β
Wake up the dreamer with a word!
Acting King Zhu Cijiong was recently stationed in Daning County, in Binh Duong Province, where his territory in the northern part of the LΓΌliang Mountains had been captured by Azig because of his southward trip to Jiezhou for salt. So Zhu Cijiong moved southward, turning his original nest Yongning Prefecture into a frontier, and at the same time moved his base to Daning County, which was closer to Yanchi in Jiezhou.
Of course, he stationed troops in Daning not to hide from Azig, but to threaten the salt pond in Jiezhou at all times, so that it would be difficult for the production of the salt pond to recover.
If the production of salt ponds stops, the price of salt in the Qing Dynasty will be high, so that the salt in Zhu Cijiong's hand can be sold at a high price...... There is a circle of Shanxi profiteers around this prince, and the hoarding of Juqi is now very familiar.
"Great idea!" Wu Sangui turned his head and arched his hand to Zu Kefa and said, "Let's go to Daning County, Pingyang Prefecture." β
"Good!" Zu Kefa didn't shirk either, "I'll go now, and I'll bring the king's soldiers with me, but it's just ...... I'm afraid the acting king won't come in vain! β
The territory of Luliang Mountain cannot be compared with Xi'an Mansion and Yan'an Mansion......
"Please!" Wu Sangui smiled, "We all have to listen to the emperor about the territory." β
"Good! Then I'll leave right away. β
"Vice General Liu," Wu Sangui said to Liu Sheng again, "You also take a trip, go to Ningxia, and take Sonny and Ngawang for me. Lobsang Gyatso is invited, remember, don't hurt them! Don't wear the wrong clothes again! β
......
Hesheri. Sony belongs to the famous Manchurian Hesheri clan, Zhenghuang Banner people, the first from the Haixi Jurchen, the rise of Nurhachi and later the return to obedience. Unlike the most common warriors among the Manchurians in this era, their Hesheri family did not produce many warriors, and they were all scholars. Sony's father and son are both proficient in Manchu, Chinese, and Mongolian languages. Therefore, after taking refuge in Nurhachi, he has always been very trusted, and he was also reused in the Huang Taiji Dynasty. The official worshiped the Ministry of Officials Qi Xinlang, and the secular position was mixed with the third-class Lazhangjing, and served in the Inner Secretariat.
After the death of Huang Taiji, Sonny began to have bad luck because of his resolute support for Hauge, and became a thorn in Dorgon's side, and later lost his position because of his dog-to-dog relationship with Tan Tai.
However, after Hauge's death, Dorgon began to reactivate some of Hauge's entrainment characters, and Sonny also benefited, reinstated his secular position, and became a member of the Inner Secretarial Academy. However, Dolgon did not really let Sonny handle the government affairs, but sent him as an envoy to the Hoshut Khanate and Tibet.
As a result, when passing through Ningxia, Liu Sheng and others who were wearing the wrong clothes were startled and almost died......
Of course, I had to go to Wu Sangui afterwards, but it was useless, and I had to continue to go west after I finished participating...... Along the way, it was like the territory of the Ming Dynasty!
It turned out that in the area of the Pingxi King to the west and south of Ningxia, everything was the same as the restoration of the Ming Dynasty! There is no "braided head nobleman" at all, and no one knows the Shunzhi era name of the Qing Dynasty, and everyone is using the Chongzhen era name.
Dozens of copies of Sony's impeachment recitals have been written! But he didn't hand it over, and he still carried it with him, ready to wait until Beijing to throw it to Dolgon - either to really do what to the group of officials of the Qing court who didn't know the Great Qing Kingdom, or to give Dolgon some problems.
The thought of Dolgon's bearded and angry eyes made Sonny happy...... Just as he was happy, the voice of one of his clothed servants came from outside the car: "Master, Wu Sangui sent someone to pick us up!" β
