Wu Sangui looked at the civil and military ministers below, thought for a long time, and sighed, "You have all fought with the old man for many years, and your achievements are outstanding, and you have been able to find a good future and a good destination for you, and the old man is a loss to you." ”

He stood up and said, "The imperial court has been dissatisfied with me Wu Sangui for a long time now, and has sent troops to crusade against the old man. ”

Wu Sangui pointed to the boxes below, and the soldiers stepped forward to open them, "These are the belongings that the old man has accumulated for many years. Wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned his back and said nothing.

The ministers below discussed a lot, and a military general took the lead in saying angrily, "What is this called by the prince, the prince treats me like a mountain, Kangxi is a thing, and the last general is willing to enter the Forbidden City on behalf of the prince to cut off the head of Kangxi's dog thief and dedicate it to the prince." ”

When the ministers saw that there was a leader, they all shouted, "Lord Wang, our brother is still against his mother, half of this Qing Dynasty was laid by the prince, he Kangxi is a begging, and his hair has not grown." ”

"We are willing to follow the prince to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and restore the Ming Dynasty."

Wu Sangui turned around, touched his beard and laughed heartily, "Okay, since everyone said so, old man, take everyone to get rich and rich, and give the people of the world a good future." ”

"Kangxi is unkind and unjust to me, and we don't need to be this dog slave anymore, come and escort Wang Rongzhi up."

Wang Rongzhi, who was wearing a cloak, was escorted up, and watched Wu Sangui's many subordinates gather together, puzzled, "Lord Wang, why did you arrest this official, didn't you say that you would escort me back to Beijing for retrial?" What is the prince's rebellion? ”

Wu Sangui laughed and said, "It's not that the old man doesn't want to let you go, it's that your master doesn't want you to go!" ”

Wang Rongzhi frowned and said, "Please also ask the prince to explain the point." ”

"Kangxi Xiao'er disregards the safety of the people in the world, regards us as chaotic ministers and thieves, and has sent troops to beg, today, the old man wants to take your head to sacrifice to the sky and comfort the soldiers who sacrificed for the court."

"Guys, join me in slashing his sword."

Wang Rongzhi's face turned pale after hearing this, he sat on the ground, pointed at Wu Sangui and shouted, "Wu Sangui, you are a rebellious minister and thief, a bunch of nonsense, spreading rumors, trapping the court for injustice, and encouraging people's hearts, it is better for you to do that rebellious thing." You're mad, you. Before he finished speaking, the military general on the side poked a sword into Wang Rongzhi's chest.

Another military general cut off Wang Rongzhi's head, knelt down and said, "Lord Wang, the soldiers are fast, and please give an order quickly." ”

"Guizhou is the gateway to Yunnan, up to the south of the Yangtze River, threatening the hinterland of the imperial court, to the west, to attack Sichuan, through Shaanxi, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River will be under our control, if the top priority, is to fully control Guizhou."

"My lord, we have been running Guizhou for a long time, as long as the prince has a decree, there must be countless responders." Yi Wenchen said.

The Wenchen generals below all laughed after hearing this, Wu Sangui looked at the laughing crowd, locked his eyebrows and said, "Now the situation has changed, the imperial court has reacted in advance, Guizhou, it is still necessary to send a large army to go, and now Shun'an Mansion is no longer under the control of this king for a long time." ”

"Lord, Shun'an Mansion is the only way to go east to the north, here is blocked by the Dalongshan Mountain Range, the terrain is high and steep, only through Shun'an Mansion to Linxian this feasible army to the north."

Wu Sangui nodded appreciatively, he, these old generals, are extremely familiar with the terrain of Yunnan and Guizhou, and after so many years of fighting, it is all clear, and said, "Now Shun'an Mansion is occupied by a small Qipinzhi County in the original Lin County. ”

"Lord Wang, what about Wang Pingzhi? Wouldn't it be better for him to bring someone to take it back? ”

"His little people are too time-consuming, and that loving general is willing to lead the troops to Guizhou?" Wu Sangui glanced at everyone.

Originally, the first military general to speak knelt down and said, "The last general is willing to lead the troops to pacify Guizhou in one fell swoop." ”

"Okay, this king will give you 10,000 soldiers and horses, and join forces with Wang Pingzhi of Linxian County to attack Shun'an, open the way for the follow-up army, and give you seven days."

"The last will obey."

Linxian, "My lord, the prince has come with news, let the lord lead his soldiers and horses to recapture Shun'an Mansion first, and then Vice General Wang will lead an army of 10,000 to help." "I know.

"Okay, okay, since the prince has ordered, how can my Wang Pingzhi have the reason not to live and die, go and prepare quickly, and the army will set off immediately."

Xiao Jin's letter, after two days of galloping, and Wang Pingzhi's letter, arrived in the hands of Mo Ke, the governor of Guizhou.

Mo Ke read Wang Pingzhi's letter first, and then read Xiao Jin's after reading it, and after seeing the content of Wu Sangui's rebellion, his eyes were dark, and he closed it.

When he woke up, the staff next to him said, "My lord, I just read the letter from the two of them?" The mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, no matter what reason Xiao Jin led the troops to occupy Shun'an, but Wu Sangui's rebellion was ironclad, and now is not the time to entangle which of them is right and who is wrong. ”

"Why is the gentleman so sure?" Mock said slowly. He still refuses to believe the fact that Wu Sangui rebelled, Mo Kenai is the governor of a province in the feudal territory, and now that someone is rebelling on his territory, he can't be frightened.

"Dare to ask my lord, what is Xiao Jin Zhan Shun'an?"

"This, this, but the official doesn't know."

"Xiao Jin must have been forced, the old man guessed, Wang Pingzhi saw that Xiao Jin was trapped in Dalong Mountain, and the troops in Linxian County were empty, and he led the troops to take it back after Wu Sangui's instructions, this Xiao Jin represents the imperial court, it is the emperor, Linxian is such a strategic place, how can Wu Sangui rest assured that he is in Xiao Jin's hands, this is the antecedent."

"The consequence is that after Xiao Jin broke through the siege, he found that he had lost Linxian County, and learned that Wu Sangui was suspected of rebellion, and he was afraid that he would take responsibility for losing the city, so he captured Shun'an Mansion,"

Mo Ke listened to what he said reasonably, nodded and said, "Hey, it's a matter of time before Wu Sangui wants to rebel, there's nothing to guess, the top priority now is to hurry up and make a break to the imperial court and ask the army to come to defense, half of this Guizhou is Wu Sangui's old subordinates, and the official is afraid that he won't be able to support the imperial army to come to help." ”

"Send another official letter to the governor of Shaanxi Wang Fucheng, asking him to send troops to rescue him immediately, and the emperor will definitely agree with it when he knows about it."

"My lord is thoughtful, and if you look closely at the troops around Guizhou, there is only Wang Fucheng." The staff nodded.

On the first day of June in the twelfth year of Kangxi, Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, issued a document on the uprising, announcing it to the world and raising the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.

Wu Sangui's army was divided into three routes, all the way to Guizhou, all the way to Guangxi, all the way to Hunan, Wu Sangui led 150,000 troops to personally advance to Hunan.

At this time, Shun'an, Xiao Jin knew that Wu Sangui would not let himself do anything here, everyone discussed, the capital is far away here, and it will not take half a month to go back and forth, the court will not react, and now they can rely on themselves, so Xiao Jin will write to the governor Mo Ke, don't think about the reinforcements of the Guizhou headquarters, if you want reinforcements, you can only rely on the governor's face and prestige to ask for help from the surrounding imperial courts, but what Xiao Jin doesn't know is that the reinforcements asked by the governor Mo Ke are Wang Fucheng of Shaanxi.
