Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Letters of King Shang of Pingnan Ascend the Throne
Of course, Shi Lang and Yao Qisheng had already seen that Wu Yingxiong, the king of Pingxi, was just a puppet, and the real person in charge was actually Wei Xiang.
And the two of them, naturally, will not choose to be loyal to Wu Yingxiong, the king of Pingxi, that is obviously a person who can't put mud on the wall, even if he is a fool, he will make a wise choice.
With the help of these two Rao, coupled with the shock some time ago, Wei Xiang felt that Nanyun's side could completely let go.
Next, he also needs to take Wu Yingxiong to serve Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, and Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan.
Although the three times are called three times, it seems to be a whole, but in fact it is not a monolith. This is also a big problem!
Wei Xiang must unite the three into a whole before Kang Mazi attacks.
This is easier said than done.
The difficulty of its implementation is self-evident.
Therefore, long before, Wei Xiang had already done his homework in the spirit of knowing himself and knowing his opponent without slacking off.
Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, was originally a son of a peasant.
When he was eighteen years old, due to the invasion of Liaoshen by the Later Jin, he moved to Songshan in western Liaoning with his father Shang Xueli for refuge, during which his mother died in the war.
Later, father and son joined the Ming army successively. His father, Shang Xueli, first joined Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, and then followed Mao Wenlong to Phi Island.
Because Shang Kexi was clever and well-behaved, Mao Wenlong, the defender of Phi Island, adopted him as his adopted grandson and gave him the name Yongxi.
Therefore, Shang Kexi also has an unknown name, Mao Yongxi.
According to this generation, he should call Mao Dongzhu in the Divine Dragon Sect his aunt.
After Shang Kexi's father Shang Xueli was killed by the Houjin soldiers, Mao Wenlong handed over Shang Xueli's subordinates to Shang Kexi and promoted Shang Kexi to be a guerrilla general.
Since he is Mao Wenlong's godgrandson, he has this big backer, so he is naturally very mixed in the army.
When Mao Wenlong was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, Shang Kexi was already quite prestigious in the army.
In a fit of anger, he defected to Huang Taiji.
Shang Kexi led the rest of the troops to Shengjing, and Huang Taiji personally went out of the city for thirty miles to greet him.
Huang Taiji praised Shang Kexi for "reaching the right to change", "knowing the danger of fortune, and knowing the back of the times", rewarded countless treasures, and returned a total of 27 members of Shang Kexi's family who had been captured before.
Feng Shang Kexi is the chief military officer.
In the ninth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty (the first year of Chongde in the Qing Dynasty, 1636), Huang Taiji changed the name of the country to the Great Qing Dynasty, and sealed Kong Youde Gongshun Wang, Geng Zhongming Huaishun Wang, Shang Kexi Zhishun Wang, this early Qing Dynasty "Sanshun King".
And Haizhou gave Shang Kexi as a fief, the old department of the family was placed here, and Shang Kexi received the highest courtesy from the emperor.
After Huang Taiji entered the customs, Shang Kexi pursued the remnants of Li Zicheng and made many achievements.
In order to reward his merits, Huang Taiji changed the title of Shang Kexi to the "King of Pingnan", and gave him a gold seal and a golden book.
ordered him to march into Guangdong with Geng Zhongming, the "King of Jingnan".
On the way, Geng Zhongming, the king of Jingnan, was afraid of crime and self-judged, and the title of king of Jingnan was taken over by his son Geng Jimao, and the two armies were under the control of the king of Pingnan.
Shang Kexi led the army to Guangzhou, all the way like a bamboo, the remnants of the Ming forces surrendered, and the Yongli Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty fled to Wuzhou.
So far, Wang Shangkexi of Pingnan has been entrenched in Guangzhou for nearly 20 years.
On the southeast coast, he fought against the Zheng clan and other coastal anti-Qing forces in Wan Chai, and on the other hand, he wrote to the imperial court to cancel the order to move the border and ban the sea, but after the Qing court did not allow it, he suppressed the people's resistance.
According to Shang Kexi's private tax in the private market of Guangdong, "the silver obtained every year is not less than millions", monopolizing salt, mining and all trade, so the people of the time are rich in the south, and the law is below.
Wei Xiang felt that with the power of King Pingnan Shang Kexi today, Kang Mazi was determined to cut the domain, and he was definitely unwilling.
Was it really cut off like this to talk, the wealth of Pingnan, and the first in the bottom, was it willingly abandoned?
However, when he saw Shang Kexi, she realized that she was wrong, people really can't live with common sense!
The king of Pingnan is still gratifying, but he is still a die-hard member loyal to the Qing court.
On the contrary, it was his son Shang Zhixin, who was very enthusiastic and showed unusual indignation at Kang Mazi's behavior of cutting the domain.
Wei Xiang understood in an instant that it turned out that this Shang Zhixin was using his unusually indignant attitude to make a stand.
Shang Zhixin is not the son of King Pingnan, and his mother's status is not very high.
If he follows the rules, after a hundred years of King Pingnan's happiness, he will probably not be able to get anything.
This son is very active, and he is clearly taking this opportunity to seek foreign aid.
The power of the king of Pingxi is even more than that of the king of Pingnan.
Seeing that the cutting of the feudal domain is imminent, and the position of the Pingxi Royal Mansion is the same, there is no doubt that it will be supported by the forces of the Pingxi Royal Mansion.
If his father Shang Kexi had three longs and two shorts during this period, he had the support of the Pingxi Royal Mansion behind him, and he could not be as long as his brother.
Of course, speculation is always just speculation, what is Shang Zhixin calculating in his heart? We'll have to test it a little further.
After some private testing, Wei Xiang was surprised to find that it was exactly what he expected.
Shang Zhixin even swore that as long as the Pingxi Royal Mansion unconditionally supported him, he was very confident that the Pingnan Royal Mansion and the Pingxi Royal Mansion would form a strategic alliance.
Wei Xiang immediately made a decision and supported it absolutely unconditionally.
The two talked happily with each other, and there was a tendency to hate each other.
Isn't it just supporting! Hold on, just hold on! It's easy to do!
As for Shang Zhixin's next plan?
Shang Zhixin did not say anything, and Wei Xiang did not want to break the casserole and ask to the end.
He was afraid that interfering too much and meddling in other people's plans would be counterproductive.
So we just waited and saw what happened.
Sure enough, just a month later, Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, died violently!
What is the cause of death? The Pingnan Mansion was not released to the public.
The cause of Wei Xiang's death through the ears and eyes of the Shenlong Sect in the Pingnan Palace, was poisoning.
A generation of heroes Pingnan Wang is still happy, but he died of bizarre poisoning!
Among them, what kind of bizarre twists and turns, Wei Xiang is no longer interested in knowing.
What he was interested in was, after the king of Pingnan, Shang Kexishu, was scattered, what choice did the forces under his command make?
Sure enough, Shang Zhixin, who needed foreign aid, came to the door at this time.
Of course, Wei Xiang had to fulfill his original promise.
This matter is completely in line with the common interests of the two sides, and this is the most pleasant way to cooperate.
With Wei Xiang's strong support, Shang Zhixin soon inherited the title of King of Pingnan as a victor.
Pingxi Wangfu and Pingnan Wangfu finally reached a strategic alliance.
It went so smoothly! Wei Xiang, who had a system, felt a little unreal.
However, this is the case, and the wish has been granted.
The next target is naturally King Jingnan.
