It was clear that Shang Zhixin was not yet aware of the arrival of the Dutch fleet in Guangdong, and he sent his confidant Zhang Yongxiang to Zhangzhou secretly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Dashuai, Guangdong Pingnan Wangfu is here again!" There are pro-soldiers to report it.

"Let people in!" Wang Xinyu said.

Wang Yuyou smiled: "I don't know what conditions Shang Zhixin wants to propose." ”

"As long as his conditions are not excessive, he can accept it!" Wang Xinyu's face suddenly sank, and a sharp light appeared in his eyes, "But Shang Kexi, if you don't surrender, you must die!" ”

"Shang Kexi will not surrender! I just don't know if Shang Zhixin will deal with his father. Wang Yuyou said.

Zeng Yang smiled coldly: "What's impossible? What kind of virtue does Shang Zhixin have, he knows very well what kind of virtue he has! After Shang Zhixin returned to Guangdong, he once went to the Pingnan palace in Guangzhou, and this person changed several cronies of Shang Kexi's old thief, and the guards of the palace were also replaced by his own cronies. His biggest enemy is not Shang Kexi, it is Shang Zhixiao! Shang Zhixiao's kid also has Kong Sizhen's support behind him. ”

While he was talking, Zhang Yongxiang, the secret negotiator sent by Shang Zhixin, walked in and saluted Wang Xinyu: "I've seen all the adults!" ”

"Shang Gongzi has the heart to abandon the dark and turn to the light, this is a feat!" Wang Yuyou stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Wang Xinyu didn't speak, nor did he mention the conditions, just waiting to hear what the people who heard Shang Zhixin would put forward.

Zhang Yongxiang arched his hand and said: "The little prince is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and I also hope that the big handsome can give the little prince a prince." ”

Wang Xinyu nodded slightly, and said with a faint smile: "There is no problem with Wang Jue!" Military salaries, weapons can be provided. But the fief can't be in Guangzhou! ”

"The fief can't be in Guangzhou?" Zhang Yongxiang was stunned, "Then may I ask the marshal, where is the fief given to us?" ”

Wang Xinyu asked people to take the map, pointing to the vast Western Regions on the map, all the way to Arabia and North Africa: "This is the vast Western Regions, if the Tartars are defeated, they will flee all the way to the west, and you will follow behind!" The turf is yours! The Western Mongolian khanates on the road can be swallowed! To the west, Turkey is a great power. ”

The location of Guangzhou is important, Guangdong is rich in products, so it is impossible for Shang Zhixin to be a fief in such a rich place, Wang Xinyu's idea is to let Shang Zhixin go outside. Wang Xinyu didn't mind developing a few more warlords at this time, opening up territory for him, and going outside. As for Shang Zhixin's whereabouts, in fact, he had already thought about it: in the future, after the Northern Expedition drove the Manchus out of Beijing, it is estimated that there will be a Qing army that will flee west and flee to the Western Regions, so let Shang Zhixin chase it!

When the time comes, let Shang Zhixin follow the ass of the Manchu Qing and chase all the way, Gansu, Western Mongolia, Xinjiang, the Kazakh Khanate, Uzbekistan, and Dashi...... Chase the past along the road, and the territory that has passed all the way will be included in the territory of Daming!

There is never too much land, and the Middle East is a desert, which has not yet developed oil. In the future, when the internal combustion engine is invented, oil in the Middle East will be the biggest resource!

Wang Xinyu, who is gradually becoming stronger, also hopes that the number of warlords can be larger, and it is expected that when the Manchu Qing Dynasty fails, they will flee in three ways, all the way to the west, and let Shang Zhixin chase after him; fled all the way to the outside of the pass, and let Zheng attack deal with them; There is also a way to flee to the north, and it is estimated that after escaping to Lake Baikal, it will flee to the west, and this way will be handed over to Geng Jingzhong.

As for the rest of Wu Sangui, Wang Xinyu thought of letting them go to Tianzhu to scourge Ah San.

Zhang Yongxiang looked at the map and widened his eyes: "I didn't expect the land of the Great Qing Kingdom to be so big, and there is only one point on the map!" There's so much land out there! But how many troops and salaries are needed to conquer so much territory? ”

"Troops, you can recruit troops and horses, and recruit the elite of Ganshan. Military salaries and weapons can be provided by the domain. But it's too early to say that, we have to take Guangdong first, and we have to deal with the threat of Kong Sizhen! Wang Xinyu said.

Zhang Yongxiang asked: "Kong Sizhen, we can deal with it!" But if Wu Sangui fights, we can't deal with it, I don't know if the marshal can send troops to deal with Wu Sangui? ”

"Don't worry about this, Wu Sangui won't send troops." Wang Xinyu said with a smile.

Zhang Yongxiang asked again: "The west is the territory of the Mongols and the Tianfang Sect, didn't the Tartars say that the Manchu and Mongolian families?" The Mongols are helping the Tartars, I'm afraid it's not easy to fight, right? ”

"The Manmeng family?" Wang Xinyu laughed, "The so-called Manchu and Mongolian family, this Mongolia refers to only Horqin Mongolia!" The rest of the Mongols didn't see the Jurchen Houjin as their own! In the eyes of other Mongols, the Horqin Mongols are shameless traitors! So the Mongols can be wooed! Use the Mongols against the Celestial Sect! ”

Horqin Mongolia had close contacts with Houjin and were united through marriage, so Huang Taiji and Xiaozhuang proposed the Manchu and Mongolian families. But the Horqin Mongols were traitors who betrayed the Mongol Great Khan! Without the help of the Korqin Mongols, the Tumut Mongols would not have surrendered to the Houjin, and the Chahar Mongols would not have been wiped out by the Houjin.

And Mobei Mongolia did not take the current Manchu rulers in his eyes at all, and never considered himself a Qing national; As for the Dzungar Mongols, they are preparing to move at this time and may rebel at any time.

Then Zhang Yongxiang mentioned the marriage again, and wanted to marry Shang Zhixin's sister to Wang Yu.

"This domain already has a main room, and the two side princesses have already been selected. If the thirteen county lords are married, they can only be small. It's better to let the thirteen county lords marry the king of Yanping County! Wang Xinyu proposed.

In fact, it was because Shang Kexi's reputation was too stinky, and there were Shang Kexi's descendants in later generations who made Shang Kexi a memorial hall, which made him feel very disgusted. If you marry a daughter who is still happy, it feels like eating a fly. If it weren't for Shang Kexi's daughter marrying, and marrying Wu Sangui's granddaughter, then Wang Xinyu would happily accept it.

In fact, now Zeng Yangxing and a number of other demoted officials are also looking for high-ranking generals of the Qiongzhou Army and the Fujian Army to marry, and set up their sons and daughters, so as to maintain their status.

Zhang Yongxiang didn't say anything about marrying the county lord to Zheng Cong, he felt that Shang Zhixin wouldn't say anything after he went back, after all, Zheng Cong was the king of Yanping, and on the surface, his status was the same as Wang Yu. Originally, Shang Zhixin was just to save his life, and if he could marry, it didn't matter if it was the king of Yanping or the king of the South China Sea.

Later, after discussing the matter of Guangzhou's dedication to the city, Zhang Yongxiang proposed: "Your army is strong, and the little prince has transferred the troops from Xiangshan, Humen, Xinhui and other places back to Guangzhou. Outside of Guangzhou are empty cities, as long as your army uses the sailors to land, these cities are at your fingertips! Especially Xinhui, if you get Xinhui, you can block Kong Sizhen's Guangxi army! When the big handsome Wang Shi came to Guangzhou, the little prince opened the city to welcome Wang Shi! ”

"These places have been withdrawn from your troops, and we will definitely occupy them." Wang Xinyu nodded.

In fact, there is no way to send troops to occupy it now, isn't the Dutch fleet coming? Only by finding a way to get the Dutch out of the way can we mobilize the sailors to go south and occupy these cities. It's just that the arrival of the Dutch fleet must not be known to Shang Zhixin, otherwise what will this guy at both ends of the head and rat think.

Zhang Yongxiang had just left, and someone came to report that the messenger sent by Wu Sangui was coming!

"Wu Sangui? Why did he send someone all the way here? Wang Xinyu was taken aback when he heard the news. Wu Sangui currently has trade contacts with the Nanyang Company, but it is limited to the border of Yunnan, and Wang Shirong, one of Wu Sangui's advisers, is also in Bamo. Wu Sangui wants to negotiate, just look for Li Dingguo directly in Bamo, why did he give up the near and far and send a person to come to Fujian thousands of miles away?

The messenger who arrived was actually Fang Guangchen, one of the important strategists of Wu Sangui Pingxi Palace!

This person is loyal to Wu Sangui, but to be honest, his ability is not as good as Wang Shirong, let alone compared with Liu Xuanchu, and even Xia Guoxiang. But this person is deeply loved by Wu Sangui, and Wu Sangui listens to him in many ways.

Seeing Fang Guangchen coming in, Wang Yuyou stepped forward and arched his hand: "Mr. Fang has come all the way to Fujian, it is really not easy!" Along the way, you have to pass through the territory controlled by Monk Kong Sizhen and Shang Kexi, which can be described as extremely dangerous! ”

Fang Guangchen said with a smile: "A certain is just a little trick, and he avoids the eyes and ears of Monk Kong Sizhen!" ”

Wang Yuyou went directly to the topic: "I don't know why Mr. Fang came to Fujian thousands of miles away?" ”

"Mr. Wang, can the Guangdong of the Tartar court still be able to hold on? After your army took Guangdong, did it send troops to Guangxi? Fang Guangchen asked.

"Hold Guangdong? What do they use to hold Guangdong? In the first battle of Zhangzhou, the Tartar Fujian army was almost completely annihilated, and the Guangdong army was brought half by Shang Zhixin, and only returned less than thirty percent. The Guangdong army has already lost 30% of its ranks, and its morale is low, so how can it hold Guangdong? Shang Zhixin no longer has the courage to fight in the field, and if he defends the city, he can only be broken by our army! What's more, our army still has the advantage of a naval division, outflanking in a roundabout way, fighting or leaving, and the initiative is all in the hands of our army. Mr. Fang, you said that in this case, can the Tartars hold Guangdong? Wang Yuyou stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Fang Guangchen nodded: "A certain passing through Guangdong, the strength of the Tartar army has shrunk to Guangzhou City, and he will be a turtle with a shrunken head." All the small cities in Guangdong have given up. Although retreating to Guangzhou can concentrate troops, but losing the ability to fight in the field, you can only be eaten by your army on other territories, and finally trapped in Guangzhou! ”

Wang Yuyou said with a smile: "Without field combat ability, if they don't escape, they can only wait for death!" ”

"So if your army takes Guangdong, will it take Guangxi in one go?" Fang Guangchen asked again.

"I must take Guangxi! Wipe out Kong Sizhen, Lian Guoan, Sun Yanling, Dai Liangchen, and Ma Xiong! Guangxi is Kong Youde's territory, although Kong Youde is dead, but his gang is loyal to the Tartar court to the end! Wang Yuyou said angrily.

Kong Youde was the culprit of the Dengzhou mutiny that year and the number one person in the rebellion. Kong Youde's rebellion not only plunged Shandong into chaos, the Ming army lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the most serious thing was that Kong Youde carried the sophisticated firearms troops built by Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua to Houjin! It is precisely because of Kong Youde's rebellion that Houjin has the ability to attack fortifications from then on! Therefore, Kong Youde's rebellion is particularly harmful.

Fang Guangchen also sighed: "Guangxi's Tartars should be destroyed!" Damn it! Abominable indeed! ”

"I don't know why Tingxian sighs so much?" Wang Yuyou asked.

Fang Guangchen talked about what he saw and heard when he passed through Guangxi: The military discipline of Wu Sangui's army in Yunnan is not bad, although the passing caravans are also exploited by Wu Sangui's army, but they also collect some normal toll taxes and city gate taxes, and Wu Sangui's soldiers are relatively honest and will not extort too much.

However, when entering the territory of Guangxi, those soldiers and ruffians in Guangxi are really hateful, and checkpoints are set up everywhere. All the way through, not only have to pay the normal toll tax and city gate tax, but also have to give those small soldiers a dot, otherwise an excuse will be caught.

Because Fang Guangchen was acting in secret, how could he and his entourage dare to casually show the documents of the Pingxi Palace? It can only be disguised as a caravan to pass. As a result, I don't know how much silver was stripped of along the way.

Maybe the army in Guangxi is poor and crazy, and I saw that the caravan from Yunnan brought valuable goods such as special offerings and tobacco from the Eight Banners, and it can be said that they were ruthless when they were exploited, and every time they passed a checkpoint, they were tantamount to being skinned.

"The Guangxi army is so hateful, it's better for your army to exterminate them earlier! save them from the evil of the people! Fang Guangchen said angrily.

"That's for sure!" Wang Yuyou nodded, "Guangxi Kong Youde is the most hateful!" My Ming soldiers have long held their breath, entered Guangxi as soon as possible, and skinned them and cramped! ”

"I don't know where your army will attack next after taking Guangxi?" Fang Guangchen asked again.

Wang Yuyou laughed: "I definitely won't go to Yungui!" What is there in Yungui that is worth grabbing? Once we get there, we have to travel thousands of miles to transport food! Fighting Yungui, the gains outweigh the losses! Although the next move of our army is confidential, for the sake of the friendship between Pingxi Wangfu and our army, the old man also revealed one point: to take Guangdong, the next step is naturally Huguang! Lay down the lake, and the door to the river will be opened! You can also go down the river and sweep the Yangtze River! ”

Fang Guangchen smiled bitterly: "If Huguang is taken by your army, then Pingxi Wangfu will become a lone army!" At that time, the prince can only abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and return to the Ming! ”

"If the prince has the heart to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, he needs to act fast when he returns anyway! If our army takes Huguang, then the prince can only be regarded as surrendering, not anyway! If it is a surrender, it will inevitably be downgraded; If he returns anyway, King Pingxi will still be King Pingxi! Wang Yuyou said.

"At this point, I will naturally advise the prince after I go back! I believe that the prince will also see this! Fang Guangchen arched his hand. But he thought to himself: The Ming army took Huguang? At least another year! It's fast to win it in a year! This Guangzhou City, it is estimated that it will take three months! After taking Guangzhou, go north to attack Changsha, Changsha is also a strong city! There is also Wuchang Jiancheng, these cities have been taken, and one year will definitely not be enough!

Anyway, there is still more than a year to go, and Pingxi Wangfu still takes advantage of this time to sell more special offerings of the Eight Banners and make more money. (To be continued.) )
