Hunan, Changsha, through the five provinces of the governor Yamen station, the pure land incense, large and small officials gathered in the lobby to welcome the holy decree.
"The thieves in Guangdong are scattered, the place is gradually flattening, and they go to Hunan Liaoyuan, and they should be appointed as the two kings and the governor. Jiangxi is close to Hunan, and when the application of officials is involved in the transfer of troops, the remaining thieves in the area of Ji'an, Yuanzhou have not been cleared, and they should be repressed by the emperor. Governors, admirals, and commanders below the general army are subject to moderation, soldiers, horses, and salaries are subject to military law. First, it should be suppressed, not from the middle, and there will be negligence afterwards
In addition, I heard that the two generals of the Southern Ming Dynasty were infighting, and they made good use of the auxiliary ministers to make sure that Yunnan and Guizhou were looking forward to the wind, and the officials and the people were afraid of the future. On the day of success, you will be rewarded. Waiting for the place to be established and there are people after the aftermath, they will return to the court and comfort me. ”
After the decree was read, the officials of the three inner courts who came to announce the decree respectfully stepped forward to hand over the decree to Hong Chengchou.
"Minister Hong Chengchou commands, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces who was over 60 years old, took the holy decree and slowly got up, and smiled at Chen Wenzhong, an official of the Inner Three Courts who came to announce the decree: "Lord Chen has come from thousands of miles away, and the boat and car are tiring, please rest for a few days before coming back. ”
Chen Wenzhong hurriedly said: "The superintendent is going to submit this long live, and when the lower officials come, the courtyard will also take care of it, and it should stay for a few more days." ”
Hong Chengchou nodded slightly, knowing that in addition to announcing the decree, Chen Wenzhong must have also been ordered by Jingzhong to visit the army. Therefore, he didn't say much to him, and raised his hand to ask someone to lead Chen Wenzhong down to rest, and wait for someone to go down. Fang sat down and looked at the holy decree in his hand in a daze.
In addition to Hong Chengchou, there are more than 20 civil and military officials in the hall. Just looking at the robes, there are mostly military generals, and there are only a few civil officials, such as Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Huguang, and Guo Yuanruo, the prefect of Changsha, and the rest are military generals.
"Governor, the emperor is a little confused under this will."
The person who spoke was Li Benshen, the chief officer of the Zhenghuang banner of the Han army, who had recently been assigned to Hong Chengchou's control, who was originally a general of Gao Jie's subordinates, and after Gao Jie's death, he was appointed as a deputy general and descended to Duoduo, the prince of Yu. Awarded the third-class Jingqi Nihafan, is now the Han Army Zhenghuang under the banner of the general soldier, the town of Jiezhen is stationed in Yongzhou, the command is from the Zhili Xuanda transferred from the battalion, more than 12,000 soldiers. Li Benshen was ordered to rush from Yongzhou to Changsha to participate in the military conference in three days.
"Oh?"
Hong Chengchou raised his eyes and glanced at Li Benshen, and said with interest: "What is Mr. Li's confusion?" ”
"Sun Kewang Li Dingguo turned against him, this is the opportunity for our army to forge ahead, why should the Holy Will be on the sidelines, and not mention the enterprising?"
After Li Benshen finished speaking, he glanced at Wang Fuchen, the chief officer of the Rao camp, Liu Fangming, Gao Di and others. These people were obviously also confused, and they all looked at Hong Chengchou in confusion.
Hong Chengchou did not answer, but only asked Li Benshen and said, "According to you." Who is stronger, Sun Kewang, the lord of the country or Li Dingguo, the king of Xining? ”
"This"
Li Benshen was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Hong Chengchou wanted to ask this, but he didn't think much about it, so he said: "Since it is against the Qin king, Sun Ke is expected to be slightly stronger." ”
Sun Kewang canonized the king of Qin for the Southern Ming Dynasty, and was the co-leader of the Great Western Army, and the small court of Yongli was actually controlled by him, and although Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang were both Zhang Xianzhong's sons, they were far inferior to Sun Kewang in terms of prestige and strength, and their territory was sitting on a part of Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, and Sichuan. It is far larger than the part of Guangxi occupied by Li Dingguo's lone army, and there are generals such as Liu Wenxiu, Bai Wenxuan, and Feng Shuangli under his command. Therefore, in terms of strength alone, Li Benshen is naturally inclined to be stronger.
Li Benshen's opinion is obviously in line with the generals' views on the situation in Nanming. Only Bai Guangen, the substitute idle officer of the Han Army under the Yellow Army, smiled and said disapprerovingly: "Sun Kewang is strong, but I'm afraid he can't be much stronger than Li Dingguo, according to me, Sun Kewang's ability to fight is not stronger than Li Dingguo." ”
This Bai Guangen, like Li Benshen, was also born in the peasant army, and later descended to the Ming Dynasty, and participated in the Battle of Songshan. Because his headquarters has long been exhausted, but he has a good reputation in Li Zicheng's Dashun army and knows many generals of the Dashun army, so Hong Chengchou asked the Qing court for this person after he became the governor of the five provinces, so that he could deal with the rest of the Dashun army in order to implement his strategy of appeasement.
As soon as Bai Guangen's words fell, a chubby general next to him shook his head and said: "This is not necessarily, if Li Dingguo really wants to be able to fight, how can he suffer two defeats in Guangdong in a row." ”
This chubby general is named Wang Fuchen, this person is a native of Datong, Shanxi, nicknamed "West Road Horse Harrier", originally surnamed Li, in the early years, he followed his brother-in-law Liu to join the peasant army, gambled, spent a lot of money, and later became a righteous son with Wang Jinchao, and changed his surname to Wang. With the Datong guard general Jiang Hao rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, he soon surrendered to the British prince Azig to avoid being executed, and was confiscated into the Xinzhiku as a slave. After Dolgon's death, Wang Fuchen was re-elected as an official by Hong Chengchou, and is now the chief military officer of the Green Battalion under the Governor of the Five Provinces, and is one of Hong Chengchou's descendant generals. It is said that Wang Fuchen and Xibo Wu Sangui have a close relationship, and there are 8,000 soldiers under his command, and the town is stationed in Changde.
Seeing that it was Wang Fuchen, the governor, who refuted him, and that Li Dingguo had indeed suffered two defeats in Guangdong in a row, Bai Guangen laughed dryly and didn't say anything more.
Hong Chengchou ignored Bai Guangen's dry smile, but glanced at the generals, and said in a deep voice: "Li Dingguo is a tiger general, this person is quite capable of fighting, as the so-called success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He, it is this person who is too capable of fighting, so Sun Kewang can't tolerate him, and his merits are high."
Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Huguang, who had been silent, heard these words and thought deeply: "What the governor said is exactly what the lower officials think, and Sun Kewang can't tolerate Li Dingguo's repeated meritorious contributions, so he has internal strife with him." However, the two tigers fight, there must be an injury, this time Sun and Li are fighting each other, this is God helping me to clear the Qing Dynasty! ”
Hong Chengchou nodded happily, stroked his beard, raised his eyebrows, and said to the generals: "You say, who will be injured in the infighting between the two thieves this time?" ”
Li Ben didn't think about it and said: "In terms of strength alone, most of the injuries are Li Dingguo. ”
When Wang Fuchen heard this, he had another opinion, but he thought that what the governor asked would not be so simple, and he must have another deep meaning, so he did not say anything.
Zhang Changgeng and others thought for a while, and they all thought that Sun Kewang's strength was stronger than Li Dingguo, so this time Sun Li was infighting, and most of the injuries were Li Dingguo.
Liu Zhong, the former Dashun Ping Nanbo, is now the chief officer of the Han Army Zhenghuang Banner, is a straight man, and after listening to it for so long, he finally couldn't help but say: "Since the two tigers are contending, why don't our army take the opportunity to go south and reap the benefits of the fishermen?" ”
Li Benshen also looked at Hong Chengchou puzzled: "Governor, Sun and Li are infighting, and there is an opportunity to march at this time, but I don't know why we just need to wait and see?" If you lose the fighter, wouldn't you regret it? ”
Zhang Changgeng, Gao Di and others were also moved when they heard this.
Hong Chengchou smiled slightly: "This is the emperor's far-sightedness, I can't wait." Do you think, whether our army should kill the two tigers while they were fighting, or take advantage of their death and wounded to kill the past, which of the two is more in the interests of our Qing Dynasty? ”
When Zhang Changgeng heard this, he suddenly realized: "The two tigers are fighting, if I rashly march, the two tigers will inevitably stop and jointly deal with our army, and it is not advisable to march at this time." Well, since Sun and Li are infighting, they must be endless, and they must distinguish the winners and losers, and no matter whether Sun Kewang wins or Li Dingguo wins, one side will eventually be defeated, and then our army will take advantage of his death and one injury to march in a big way, but it is the best time, you can double the strength, and you can also reduce the loss of soldiers, and the emperor really sees the long term better than us! ”
"Although the emperor is young, he has a long-term vision, and this official is really ashamed of himself." Hong Chengchou also looked admiring.
"The Emperor Shengming!"
The generals immediately praised the emperor with a clear heart, and after praising the young emperor's sycophants, Hong Chengchou changed his words: "The will is to Pingnan and Jingnan two princes to be in charge of Guangdong's affairs, now it seems that the emperor is not without a target, I think it is also expected that the situation will change after the infighting between Sun and Li and the two thieves, my side will not move for the time being, but Guangdong can take advantage of the maneuver, and then the two five masters can take advantage of the two thieves' internal strife to take the whole of Guangdong, so as to create a situation that threatens Guangxi, so that not only can the whole of Guangdong be captured, It can also contain the Ming army, which will help us a lot in the next move.
