What did Tang Sanshui do in Zhaoqing?

Zhou Shixiang was a little surprised, and met Tang Sanshui in the council hall with doubts. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Tang Sanshui came alone, without any entourage, looking good-looking, with a big belly, much fatter than when they met in Zhaoqing last year. Wearing a casual clothes, Zhaoqing people have many eyes, no matter how bold Tang Sanshui is, he doesn't dare to wear his official uniform of the Admiral to come to see the commander of the Taiping Army.

"Brother Sanshui!"

Tang Sanshui is an old acquaintance, if it weren't for Tang Sanshui, Zhou Shixiang would not have achieved what he is today. Drinking water and thinking about the source, so he didn't take the shelf, but got up with a smile and walked forward to show his closeness to Tang Sanshui.

Seeing Zhou Shixiang coming to greet him, Tang Sanshui was stunned, hesitated slightly, and then shouted "I can't help it" and instantly accelerated his pace and rushed forward. This posture frightened Zhou Shixiang's personal guards, and also shocked Zhou Shixiang: Why, Brother Sanshui is going to be Jing Ke!

Just when Zhou Shixiang was about to subconsciously retreat, and the guards were about to pounce on him and capture Tang Sanshui, Tang Sanshui fell to the ground with a "plop", and then shouted: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, the humble position is to blind the heart of lard!" ”

This scene can make Zhou Shixiang so confused that the second monk is confused, and I don't know how Tang Sanshui made lard blindfold his heart. At the same time, Tang Sanshui's voice of "His Royal Highness King Qi" also stunned him.

Zhou Shixiang was stunned and didn't move, but Tang Sanshui was scared, thinking that Xiucai was holding a grudge against him and refusing to forgive him, so he performed even harder, hoarse, tears and tears, and said a lot of incoherent words.

It turned out that after hearing that the Qing army had invaded the southwest and the Yongli court was in danger, Tang Sanshui, who had always been good at taking a correct position, felt that the future of the Ming Dynasty and the Taiping army was not good, and he was afraid that he would be implicated by the Taiping army. After Fuchen's son, Wang Jizhen, returned from Beijing, Tang Sanshui officially cut off all contact with the Taiping army.

Not only that, Tang Sanshui also put heavy troops at several key checkpoints in Shaozhou, and wrote to the Qing court again and again, just waiting for the good news from the southwest, and the army turned to kill Guangdong to serve the Qing Dynasty. Who would have thought that after the Taiping Army's westward expedition, it spread good news, occupied Guangxi and Huguang at once, and blocked the hundreds of thousands of troops of Doni in Yungui. This can make Tang Sanshui anxious and don't know what to do, regretting that he shouldn't have a pair of "power eyes", betting too fast in advance, making it too embarrassing and dilemma now. It must be known that he can sit in the high position of the governor of Guangdong, but it depends on the continuous "military exploits" of the Taiping army, if the "military exploits" are gone, and the Taiping army will come to the city again, and he Tang Admiral will not even drink the northwest wind.

For more than half a month, Tang Sanshui was sitting and lying in the Admiral's Yamen in Shaozhou, and there was only one thing on his mind, that is, how to repair the relationship with the Taiping Army. Hearing that Xiucai had returned to Zhaoqing, and that the Yongli Imperial Court had named Xiucai the queen of Qi, Tang Sanshui's mind moved again. He decided to come to Zhaoqing in person to resolve the relationship with Xiucai, of course, he still couldn't do the drama of Jing pleading, it's not that he didn't want to do it, but no matter how he said it, he Tang Sanshui was the governor of Guangdong in the Qing Dynasty, if he really wanted to do this, he didn't need to mix it up with the Qing court!

Brother Sanshui just wants to mend the relationship with Xiucai now, but he didn't say that he wanted to surrender to it, after all, King Xin's side was just trapped and not defeated. As for the day when his affair with the Taiping Army was discovered by the Qing court, he was not afraid, because he could say that it was a thief's counter-plot. Facts can prove his Tang Sanshui's loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, if it weren't for him Tang Sanshui, Shaozhou would have been occupied by the Taiping army long ago. If Shaozhou is lost, can Jiangxi be stable? If the Qing court really wants to punish him, it is also simple, and it is a big deal to cut off the braids and return to the Ming anyway.

There are soldiers under him, where can he get mixed up, the reason why Tang Sanshui has always refused to return to the Ming Dynasty is just to reap greater benefits between the Ming and Qing dynasties. The price has arrived, and there is no danger of killing, what can't be done, can't be done? Of course, the most important thing now is that Zhou Shixiang can forgive him, otherwise, he really has no way out.

Zhou Shixiang, who figured out what was going on, looked at Tang Sanshui, who was crying in front of his knees, smiled, bent down to help him up, and comforted him: "Brother is too careful, Shixiang has never blamed his brother in his heart, besides, this matter is also for you and me to be our own masters, what is there to blame." ”

"Your Highness is really a lot of adults." Tang Sanshui's voice choked, and he wiped his tears with his sleeve, but the tears didn't stop there.

Hearing the title of "Your Highness" again, Zhou Shixiang was very uncomfortable, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Brother has tormented me, King Qi can't take this matter seriously, it can't be true, my brother is called so, but it's tormenting my younger brother." ”

"Why not? His Royal Highness was crowned King of Qi, and the people of Shaozhou knew about this, which is really gratifying! ”

Tang Sanshui, who got up from the ground, still had tears in the corners of his eyes, his face was full of admiration, and he sighed in his heart at the same time: How did this thief Xiucai become the prince of the Ming Dynasty, people are really angry compared to people.

"This...."

Zhou Shi didn't know much about Annan's situation, and he didn't know whether the will to make himself the king of Qi was true or false, after all, the university scholar Guo Zhiqi hadn't said anything about it, and combined with Yongli's stingy character, he doubted more than he believed. But whether this matter is true or not, Zhou Shixiang has to take it seriously, the canonization of King Qi means too much to him, but this matter is not good and Tang Sanshui said too much, so he passed vaguely.

Tang Sanshui didn't come empty-handed, but brought gifts. The gift is very real, sixty carts of grain. Of course, this grain was not out of his own pocket, but out of the pocket of the Qing Emperor. These grains are military rations, which were only sent from Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province a few days ago, and they were directly pulled over before they could be unloaded. If Shunzhi knew that he personally wrote on the back of the screen that Tang Sanshui was so generous, I am afraid that he would be so angry that he vomited three liters of blood.

Reach out and don't hit the giver, and the other party still has use value. At that moment, Zhou Shixiang naturally thanked him, and by the way, he asked some news from Tang Sanshui's Qing Court. According to Tang Sanshui, the Qing court sent Prince An Yue Le to Jiangning, and a few days ago, Tang Bao said that Prince An went to Anqing, but he didn't know what was going on. In addition, the Qing court successively transferred troops from Henan, Shaanxi and other places, and the outer feudal Mongolia recruited another 10,000 or 20,000 people, and the green camp in Jiangxi also moved. Combined with the predicament in the southwest, Zhou Shixiang analyzed that Shunzhi may have wanted to transfer troops to attack Huguang, so as to rescue the Yunnan-Guizhou Qing army.

finally locked Doni and Wu Sangui, and Zhou Shixiang naturally couldn't let them out. Now, Cheng Hanbin's proposal is becoming more and more important, the Northern Expedition is imminent, and the initiative of the war must not be turned to the Qing army. The Taiping army must immediately go on a northern expedition, surround Jiangnan, this Wei, save Huguang, Zhao, and lead Shunzhi and the Qing army by the nose, instead of being led by them.

The Northern Expeditionary Army has been formed, and after many major battles, all departments are also tired, and they are now resting in Zhaoqing and Lianzhou. After the Tang Dynasty was imprisoned, Zhou Shixiang was going to wave his army to the Northern Expedition. If you want to achieve the goal of the Northern Expedition as soon as possible, you must go north from Shaozhou, where Tang Sanshui was stationed, and then seize Ganzhou, so that Jiangxi can be decided without a fight. With Jiangxi's manpower, grain and grass, the Northern Expeditionary Army was able to feed the war with war and reduce the burden on Guangdong. After obtaining the money and grain resources of Jiangnan, and then having the rice of Annan, Zhou Shixiang no longer has to worry about money and grain. The Taiping Army's combat capability can be further improved, and it can also withstand defeat, because with a stable and rich territory in several provinces, the Taiping Army has the ability to make blood, and Zhou Shixiang has more strategic initiative.

Thinking of this, the importance of Tang Sanshui is even more prominent. Zhou Shixiang thought that Tang Sanshui would not come early or late, but he came at this time, it was really a blessed person given to him by God. Just as he was about to open his mouth to talk to him about the Northern Expedition, Dong Changqing, an officer of the Ministry of War, rushed in with an official letter on his face.

"Great victory, great victory, great victory in Guangxi!" Dong Changqing was so excited that he shouted all the way, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Oh? Bring! ”

Zhou Shixiang also got up instantly, took the report document from Dong Changqing's hand, and when he saw it, there were only five big words on it - "The job is not up to the handsome!" ”

"Haha, good, good!" Although it is only five words, it is better than everything, Zhou Shixiang laughed, "A good Yu Shizhong, a good Yu Shizhong, Ben Shuai didn't misread him!" ”

"As soon as Luo Tuo is defeated, the overall situation of Guangxi will be decided, and the Yunnan-Guizhou-Qing army will no longer be able to take a step beyond Lei Chi!" Dong Changqing said excitedly.

"Your Highness?"

Tang Sanshui was a little confused, and he didn't know what kind of victory the Taiping Army had won in Guangxi.

Zhou Shixiang smiled and said to him: "So that my brother can rejoice, our army has defeated Luo Tuo in Guangxi." ”

"Huh? General Ningnan is defeated! ”

Tang Sanshui was suddenly, this news was not good news for him, but he quickly adjusted his mentality, and hurriedly complimented Zhou Shixiang and said: "Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness, the defeat of Luo Tuo is all due to His Highness's good use of troops and good command..."

"It's all about soldiers, what does it have to do with me?" Zhou Shixiang chuckled, suddenly turned his face flat, and said to Tang Sanshui: "Luo Tuo is defeated, I have no worries, I want to wave the Northern Expedition, but I don't know if my brother is willing to help me?" ”

"Northern Expedition?" Tang Sanshui swallowed his throat, this news made his brain a little unacceptable. After a long time, he hesitated: "I don't know where His Highness's Northern Expedition is?" ”

Zhou Shixiang smiled slightly and said, "Nandu." ”

"Nandu?" Tang Sanshui swallowed his throat again, and said very worriedly: "I don't know where His Highness wants to go on a northern expedition?" ”

"Is this it? What does my brother think? Zhou Shixiang didn't say it explicitly, but only looked at Tang Sanshui meaningfully.

Xiucai, you're going to Nanjing to shut down my... Tang Sanshui's mind turned sharply, half loud, and nodded violently: "Your Highness, rest assured, the humble position understands, the humble position understands!" (To be continued.) )
