Fengxiang Mansion, Wu Jiajun Qishan Camp.

Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, stood in front of the huge map in his Chinese army's tent, and a personal soldier held a candlestick to illuminate it for him.

By defeating Zhang Kewang and Zhang Wenxiu and seizing the east wind of Fengxiang Mansion, Wu Sangui completed the reform of the thousand-household system in a very short period of time. Now his Pingxi General's Mansion can raise an army with a large number of people and not weak combat effectiveness at a lower cost. In the current troubled times, it can be regarded as a strong party.

However, his strong foundation is a bit thin - King Pingxi deserves a loss! Now I don't have a lot of silver in my pocket, and the reward for the last battle of Zhang Kewang and Zhang Wenxiu was still given by a loan shark borrowed from Jabbs.

The usury borrowed from Jabus can be repaid slowly, but the military rations for the siege of Xi'an by the army of Dianji had to be taken out by Wu Sangui - 80 people from each Qianhu were supported by Qianhu, but the army of the extra Dianji did not eat at Qianhu, and Qianhu was also poor!

But Wu Sangui's family has no surplus food, and he can't afford to supply so many people, and there is a place to borrow silver, but there is no way to do it......

Fortunately, the territory of Fengxiang Mansion is now returned to him, and he can finally make up for it. This Fengxiang Mansion is located in the west of the Guanzhong Plain, and the subordinate Fengxiang County and Fufeng County have a large plain, and this mansion has been owned by Li Zicheng since the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, and then it has become the battlefield of the Shunqing see-saw, and the landlords and gentry are almost gone. Therefore, Wu Sangui easily turned nearly two million acres of land in the two counties into military fields under the jurisdiction of the Pingxi General's Mansion (in fact, it was to pay grain to the General's Mansion). If you can collect rent according to the standard of one mu and one bucket of flour, you can also get 200,000 stone of flour after the autumn, which is enough to support the siege of Xi'an by 100,000 troops.

However, before the autumn harvest, Wu Sangui could only stay here in Qishan and watch the world.

And the rapid changes in the world greatly exceeded his expectations.

The first news came that the Qing Emperor Amadolgon, the auxiliary Yingjun King Azig broke Jiang Jiu, and Tu Datong finally removed the hard thorn that had been stuck in the throat of the Great Qing Kingdom for nearly four years.

This news scared Wu Sangui at both ends of the first rat, and almost thought that Dolgon Amma would soon clean himself up. hurriedly wrote an excerpt asking for sin, and wanted to invite "Doama" to come to Shaanxi.

But as soon as his fold was sent out, the situation in the world changed again. The "loan king" on Luliang Mountain actually made a big profit, and the surprise attack on Jiezhou was successful, not only looting Jiezhou Yanchi, Siyancheng, Anle Town and Jiezhou Prefecture, but also seducing Nikan who guarded Tongguan to understand the state. As a result, Zhang Nengqi, who was stationed in Huayin, had an opportunity to attack Tongguan and open the way for Zhang Xianzhong to advance eastward. Then Zhang Xianzhong's 100,000 army marched eastward, and captured Luoyang City in one fell swoop before the Qing army returned from Shanxi.

After seizing Luoyang, Zhang Xianzhong ripped off the signboard of the King of Dashun West, publicly called the Emperor of Daxi, and also held a second enthronement ceremony in Luoyang - such as the four emperors today, only Zhu Cihong ascended the throne once, and the other three were all enthroned twice, which is also a spectacle.

And Zhang Xianzhong's two enthronements in Luoyang seem to have angered the Qing Emperor Amadorgon, who had never held an enthronement ceremony.

So Dolgon left Zhu Cijiong, the acting king who ran back to Luliang Mountain, ignored him, crossed the Yellow River south on June 22, and entered Zhengzhou on June 25. began to use the Zhengzhou stronghold, gathered the green flag soldiers and horses in Henan and Shandong, and put on a posture of preparing to counterattack Luoyang. Moreover, a few days ago, he sent an envoy to Qishan and ordered Wu Sangui to send troops to attack Xi'an after the autumn, and cooperate with the main force of the Qing army of Dolgon to suppress Zhang Xianzhong.

With the strength of the Nine Banners of the Qing Dynasty and Wu Sangui, it would be easy to destroy Zhang Xianzhong, but Nanming would stand by and watch?

This is the best time for Zhu Cihong's Northern Expedition to the Central Plains...... Don't miss it!

Looking at the comparison of the situation of the Ming and Qing dynasties and the Western Wu parties on the map, Wu Sangui muttered to himself, as if he was also asking and answering himself.

"Dolgon will not guard against the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty...... But can he defend against it?

The advantage of the Daming Sailor is too great, and there is no need to entangle with Dolgon in the Central Plains, Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Tianjin...... You can do it everywhere! And Da Ming doesn't have to ask for any quick victory, as long as it drags on for time...... The Qing Dynasty can't afford to consume it......"

"And there is a king on Luliang Mountain...... There is still me in the northwest...... Basically, he didn't send troops, and Dolgon had to guard against it, and he could also contain a lot of his troops. If I and the king are going to do it...... Daqing looks like it's going to be over! ”

"It seems that my opportunity for Wu Sangui to strike a blow against him has come...... In this way, the Wu family will be able to enter the Three Kingdoms, and the third sister will also be sealed! ”

Speaking of this, Wu Sangui seemed to have made a lot of determination, and looked back at Liu Sheng and Wu Guogui who were standing behind him.

"You're all going to have to make a long trip!"

Wu Guogui asked, "Lord Wang, where are you going in the end?" ”

Liu Sheng said: "Lord Wang, do you want to take a trip to Xiangyang at the end?" ”

Now that Wu Sangui's brother Wu Sanfu is in charge of the troops in Xiangyang, Wu Sangui should naturally contact Wu Sanfu anyway.

Wu Sangui shook his head and said to Liu Sheng: "Why don't you go to Nanjing...... Liu Sheng, you won't be without a way, right? ”

"The way ......" Liu Sheng was in his heart, and he already understood that Wu Sangui had long known that he was Emperor Hongxing's secret agent!

But it doesn't matter, because Wu Sangui is finally going to do it anyway!

The Qing Dynasty is coming to an end......

"Yes!" Wu Sangui nodded, "Go to Nanjing to face the saint, and see the old lady......"

"Lord Wang, what did you say?"

Wu Sangui thought for a while and said: "I will be the general of Pingxi, and the military affairs west of Xi'an and Yan'an, and north of Hanzhong and Gongchang are all under the control of the Pingxi General's Mansion." The imperial court also gave the Pingxi General's Mansion three million taels of silver every year...... and a one-time reward of five million taels!

In addition, the third sister will be sealed immediately!

As long as the imperial court agrees, I will raise troops after the Northern Expeditionary Army of the imperial court landed at Dagukou anyway, and wave my army to take Beijing City! ”

Wu Sangui is a lion who has opened his mouth!

But he had to open this mouth...... He had three hundred and thirty thousand houses under his command, and the number of a hundred houses was as high as three thousand three hundred! There are countless military leaders, large and small, all of them are so poor that their eyes are red, if they don't give them some sweetness, they are willing to fight with their lives?

In addition, if Wu Sangui can't ask for benefits from Zhu Cihong, he can't convince the public!

Gan Shaanxi, looking forward to progress, why did the warlord who became the fourth minister praise him Wu Sangui's field? Isn't it because the Wu family is the most favored meritorious hero of Emperor Hongxing?

Holding Wu Sangui, they can get benefits from Nanjing!

There is no benefit, who rebelled!

Therefore, Zhu Cihong named Wu Sanmei as the queen and gave Wu Sangui a heavy reward, which was a necessary condition for Wu Sangui to command the head of the Ganshan army to fight with his life.

"Lord Wang, the last general understands!" Liu Sheng nodded, a smug smile on his dark face.

That's a great achievement! How can you be an earl, right?

"Lord Wang, where is the last general?" Wu Guogui asked, "Will the last general also go to Jiangnan?" ”

Wu Sangui shook his head, "You go and invite two people to this king!" ”

Wu Guogui was stunned: "Invite someone?" Who please? ”

Wu Sangui said: "One is Sony, and the other is named Ngawang. Lobsang Gyatso! Remember, you must ask them well, and you must not hurt them...... Our hostages in Beijing are all pointing to them to protect them! ”

Sonny was the scholar sent by Dolgon to Qinghai and Tibet, and he almost scared Wu Sangui's soldiers who wore the wrong clothes to death last time.

And Ngawang. Lobsang Gyatso is a great god invited by Sonny from Tibet, the great living Buddha of the Yellow Gelug sect, and the fifth great lama.

Dolgon invited Awang. Lobsang Gyatso went to Beijing to make a big game of chess - the great lama was the leader of the Yellow Sect, and he had great influence in both the Oirat and Khalkha Mongolias, and had a large number of followers. If Dorgon can get his support, he will become the emperor of the savannah! Now that the development of the Great Qing Kingdom in the Central Plains is not going well, it has to pay attention to Mongolia and the hometown in the Northeast. So after taking the Great Lama, Dolgon had to exchange the hostages that Wu Sangui had placed in Beijing.
