Chapter 127: The Queen Mother

Liu Yongxi suddenly felt that Xu Zhen's idea was very good: "Then do what General Xu wants, General Xu has a good talk with Wang Zhaoling and the four queens, but you must ensure your own safety, I am still waiting for the day when you will go to the altar to pay respects!" ”

Now Sun Kewang can be said to have suffered a series of heavy blows, and he originally pinned all his hopes on Azig and the Qing army.

However, since the big tree of the Great Western Army has fallen and may join forces with the Vietnamese Ming Army to attack the Qing army at any time, how could Azig and the Qing army sacrifice themselves to take millet for the Great Western Army, from all aspects of the news can confirm that the Qing army has always been immobile, in fact, the Qing army not only did not move, but also carried out a certain degree of tactical contraction.

Since even the Qing army can not be counted on this life-saving straw, then the Great Western Army is naturally in a state of collapse, first the general Bai Wenxuan announced that he would cooperate with the loyal battalion, and then the prime minister Wang Zhaoling coerced the four queens to lose their sincerity to the Chengtian Emperor, and the so-called "coercion" is completely the words of the four generals, and many people say that the four queens are willing to sacrifice themselves to complete the Great Western Army.

Although Sun Kewang and the four generals are powerful in the true sense, in terms of status, Prime Minister Wang Zhaoling and the four queens are above them, and Wang Zhaoling and the four queens control most of the dependents of the army, so the influence of this matter is naturally amazing.

Now the question considered by the remnants of the Great Western Army is not whether to join the Chengtian Empire, but what kind of situation to cooperate with the Chengtian Empire, and how much power they can save after the Chengtian Empire is annexed.

So Sun Kewang was so angry by Wang Zhaoling that he screamed strangely: "Traitor for glory, I really didn't expect my father to choose such a villain for glory to be the prime minister of Zuo, and now that my father's bones are not cold, he immediately forced the four queens to flatter Emperor Chengtian, is there anything more shameless in this world?" ”

It's just that Bai Wenxuan's answer is even more annoying: "Wang Zhaoling can at least save more than 100,000 of our brothers by doing this, and the biggest problem now is not that Wang Zhaoling is shameless in selling his way to glory, but that the Chengtian Dynasty and the Loyal Battalion are unwilling to accept such conditions!" ”

Hearing Bai Wenxuan say this, Liu Wenxiu felt a little incredible: "Wang Xiangye is ready to sacrifice the four queen mothers, and the loyalty camp is still unwilling to accept such conditions?" That's an exaggeration, isn't it? ”

Bai Wenxuan immediately said what he saw and heard in the loyalty camp: "The loyalty camp is definitely unwilling to accept it, there is only a high queen on the side of the camp, even if the queen Xing is counted, there are only two queens, and our Xiying has four queens in one go, how can they accept it!" ”

Sun Kewang immediately changed his mind when he heard this: "Since the situation has come to this point, then we can only temporarily wronged the four queen mothers!" ”

Although he said "four queen mothers", Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi did not have much respect for the four queens left by Zhang Xianzhong.

After all, in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen's Battle of Agate Mountain, the Great Western Army was not only devastated, but also Zhang Xianzhong's nine wives and concubines were captured by Zuo Liangyu in one go, so the current four queens are not Zhang Xianzhong's wives, and they are not much older than Sun Kewang and the four generals in terms of age, and even two queens are younger than Sun Kewang.

Since they and Zhang Xianzhong are only halfway husband and wife, Sun Kewang is now more concerned about his own personal gains and losses and the long-term development of the Great Western Army, rather than the chastity of the nominal four "queen mothers", and Liu Wenxiu also agreed: "Yes, for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of brothers in the Great Western Army, I can only wronged the four queen mothers!" ”

It's just that Li Dingguo accidentally told the truth: "What is there to be wronged by the four queen mothers, they originally had to be widowed for a lifetime, and they may not have a good life if they go with us in Xiying, and now they can enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth, but now the biggest question is how much benefit can they get from sacrificing them for our Xiying?" ”

Bai Wenxuan likes a straightforward man like Li Dingguo: "Yes, this is the key, everyone has to decide quickly, if it drags on for too long, it won't be good if Wang Xiangye's side talks about the results first!" ”

Now Wang Zhaoling has no more than 10,000 troops around him, and in addition to tens of thousands of dependents who have no combat effectiveness, they are far less powerful than the four generals, but after all, he is the prime minister of the Great Western Kingdom, and his influence is extremely far-reaching.

And more importantly, Wang Zhaoling is not like the four generals, he has to fight every minute, he only needs to consider the interests of himself and a very small number of people around him, he doesn't need to be exhaustive, and Sun Kewang couldn't help but frown when he heard this: "Actually, there is no problem with our side being wronged, but I'm afraid that we have wronged Dingguo!" ”

Whether it is Sun Kewang, Ai Nengqi or Liu Wenxiu, they all received a clear promise from Liu Yongxi that they could continue to command 10,000 elite soldiers after surrendering to the Heavenly Dynasty, but Li Dingguo did not get a clear and specific commitment.

Moreover, Bai Wenxuan just passed Liu Yongxi's personal promise, as long as Sun Kewang is willing to surrender to the past, Liu Yongxi will let him pacify Yunnan, which is also an unexpected joy for Sun Kewang.

Although Sun Kewang still has the illusion of continuing to lead the hundreds of thousands of troops in Xiying, since he is not a woman, Liu Yongxi will definitely not entrust him with more than 100,000 troops, so it is enough for him to have an arrangement to pacify Yunnan.

The only problem is on Li Dingguo, but Li Dingguo said without hesitation: "As long as our Xiying brothers can have a way out, what can my personal gains and losses be, besides, didn't we follow our father just to have a mouthful to eat, what do you want to do so much, the key is to cut through the mess quickly, and not let Wang Xiangye take the lead!" ”

This is exactly what the four generals are most concerned about at the moment, although they still have many reservations, but if Wang Zhaoling reaches an agreement with the Chengtian Dynasty before them, then their efforts and concessions will be meaningless.

And this is the biggest bargaining chip in the negotiation between Xu Zhen and Wang Zhaoling, although now Xu Zhen will attract a few hateful glances wherever he goes, but Xu Zhen knows very well that Wang Zhaoling and Zhang Xianzhong's closest people will ensure that they are foolproof.

After all, as soon as Zhang Xianzhong died, Wang Zhaoling, including these fortunate ministers, became worthless, so they had to seize the opportunity to squeeze out all the surplus value left by Zhang Xianzhong as much as possible and reach an agreement with the Chengtian Dynasty as soon as possible.

Now everyone knows that it was Xu Zhen who stabbed Zhang Xianzhong to death with one shot, which can be said to be the biggest suffering of the Great Western Army, but now Xu Zhen is living a real fairy life on Wang Zhaoling's side, and his food, clothing, housing and transportation are not inferior to the original Daxi Emperor Zhang Xianzhong.

But Xu Zhen still gritted his teeth and didn't let go: "You Xiying have thought too much, you broke into the camp and returned to obedience at the earliest, and made great contributions to Your Majesty's victory over Huguang, but in the end it is just a Fengtian queen, how can Xiying He De produce four queens!" ”

Wang Zhaoling is now selling the entire Great Western Army for personal gain and loss: "You can't produce four queens, it's good to have one queen, you have also seen Queen Chen, that is a real beauty, Your Majesty will definitely like it when you see it, and the more important thing is that our side is more sincere than Sun Kewang's side, and we can all agree to the conditions that Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo refuse to agree!" ”

Xu Zhen laughed: "So what? Most of the soldiers and horses are still in the hands of Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo! ”

Wang Zhaoling hurriedly explained his advantages: "The soldiers and horses are in the hands of Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, but as long as we can reach an agreement in advance, I promise to take away two-thirds of the soldiers and horses in the West Camp, Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo They don't have many soldiers and horses in their hands, this is the most favorable ending for the imperial court!" ”

Xu Zhen shook his head and said, "Two-thirds of the soldiers and horses? Wang Gongzi, you really think too much, you can pull away a third of the way and I can make a decision now, but you don't have the ability! ”

Although he was looked down upon by Xu Zhen, Wang Zhaoling wanted to reach an agreement with Liu Yongxi more: "So we have to hurry up and get things done, this matter is beneficial to me, it is also beneficial to General Xu, and it is even more beneficial to Your Majesty, the four queens are still very young, and they are all great beauties, Your Majesty will definitely like it when you see it!" ”

Xu Zhen gritted his teeth and didn't let go: "Your Majesty likes it, and it is impossible to be named the queen as soon as we meet, I think Wang Gongzi is also a real person, and the four mothers can be named concubines when they come over, this is already my bottom line in negotiation!" ”

Wang Zhaoling can't wait to send Zhang Xianzhong's four queens to the opposite side now: "General Xu, this condition is too harsh, the loyal battalion has Empress Gao, the loyal brigade has Empress Xing, our Great Western Army has more strength than the loyal battalion in terms of strength, it is not too much to ask for the position of a queen, right?" The brothers below know that there is a queen in the court who supports us and will feel at ease, and the four concubines are too much worse! ”

Xu Zhen said with a smile: "Wang Gongzi not only has to think about Xiying, but also for himself!" ”

Wang Zhaoling was second only to Zhang Xianzhong in the Great Western Dynasty, but after he joined the Chengtian Dynasty, he almost had to start over from scratch, and he killed too many people in the Great Western Dynasty, and there must be countless enemies secretly planning how to take revenge, but this is the biggest reason why he insisted that Xiying must have a queen: "It is for myself that I insist that Xiying must have a queen mother, without a queen mother to take care of, I and these people around me can't protect themselves at all!" ”

Hearing Wang Zhaoling say this, Xu Zhen immediately laughed: "Wang Gongzi, you are wrong, even if there is a queen mother in Xiying, she may not take care of you and your friends, the key to enjoying the wealth and glory in the Chengtian Dynasty is to get the full support of Your Majesty, instead of thinking that Xiying can become a queen mother, it is better to think about how to get closer to Your Majesty!" ”

Wang Zhaoling already understood what Xu Zhen meant: "General Xu means to let me betray Xiying and the four generals?" This can't be, after all, I'm the prime minister of the Great Western Kingdom! ”
