When the war is over, the soldiers need to be separated?

Fang Xianting's words made all the Ming generals present and those Qing generals subconsciously put down the wine bowl in their hands. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info the Ming generals all looked at Ma Bao, but the Qing generals looked at Wu Sangui.

Ma Bao's brows were deeply locked, what kind of soldiers and generals are separated, isn't it just to cut the power of the army!

Wu Sangui's people suddenly said this, what do you mean?

Gao Qilong, Li Chengjue, Huang Yuancai, Lei Zhaosheng and other Ming generals who were moved by Ma Bao to surrender were all shocked, if the Qing court really wanted to accept their military power, in case they settled accounts after the autumn in the future, wouldn't they even have the power to resist.

Wu Sangui's descendant generals, Yang Kun, Guo Yuanlong, who was born in the Guanning Army, Shen Yingshi, the chief soldier of the Left Road Town, and Ma Ning, the chief soldier of the Right Road Town, and other generals did not know what Fang Xianting meant by saying this suddenly, and they were all stunned in their hearts.

In addition to these generals of Wu Sangui's lineage, there are many Ming generals who surrendered to the Qing army earlier than Ma Bao, such as Du Zixiang, the former commander of Chongqing in the Ming Dynasty, Yan Ziming, the chief soldier of Yongning, Guo Liai, the chief soldier of Zunyi, Wang Xing of Xingning, Lu Sangui, the general of Bai Wenxuan, Zhu Yangen, the general of Yanchang Bo Zhu Yangen, the general Long Haiyang, and the deputy general Wu Zongxiu, etc., these generals were all led by Wu Sangui to surrender to Wu Sangui after leading the army into Guizhou. There were more than 30 adjutant generals, and the total number of subordinates was 100,000 (including their families).

Du Zixiang, Yan Ziming and other Ming generals were guaranteed by Wu Sangui when they surrendered that day, not only allowing them to still take their subordinates, but also allowing them to be paid a high position in the future, but now Wu Sangui's cronies and advisers suddenly stacked up a sentence that the Qing court wanted to collect military power, which naturally made Du Zixiang and others frown, and their reaction was even more fierce than Ma Bao, who had just come to vote.

Inside and outside the tent, because of what Fang Xianting said, there was a buzz, the Qing general whispered and whispered, and the Ming general was also miscellaneous and said something, which seemed very noisy. When there was a buzz, Wu Sangui suddenly raised his right hand slightly, seeing this, whether it was a Ming general or a Qing general, they all closed their mouths.

Wu Sangui waved his hand and smiled, and said to the generals: "Don't panic, the separation of soldiers and generals is the law of the Qing Dynasty, and this king is not immune to being the prince of Pingxi." Therefore, it will not be long before this king will probably leave Yunnan. But don't worry, as long as you are sincere and obedient, the court will not treat you badly. ”

Ma Bao asked in a loud voice, "What does this mean, prince?" ”

"The imperial court used troops in the southwest, in order to pacify the remnants of Zhu Ming, and now Zhu Youlang abandoned the country, this war is over, and it is inevitable that the imperial court will transfer the king back to Beijing." Wu Sangui said calmly, still with a smile on his face, as if this matter had no effect on him at all.

Ma Bao couldn't hold back his temperament and said: "I'm waiting for the prince, not the Manchu Dynasty." If the prince doesn't stay in Yunnan, I won't vote! ”

As soon as he said this, without waiting for Wu Sangui to react, Fang Xianting said with a shocked face: "General Ma is cautious!" ”

"What's the point of being cautious?" Ma Bao ignored Fang Xianting's fuss, and said straightly: "I, Ma Bao, am a rough man, although I voted for the prince today, but I am a Han Chinese." So I Ma Baoke is a subordinate of the Han prince, but I can't be his courtier of the Taqing Emperor. ”

"Yes, I won't wait to be a courtier of the Taqing Emperor!"

Li Chengjue, Gao Qilong and other Ming generals echoed Ma Bao's shouting, they agreed to Ma Bao's invitation to vote for Wu Sangui, in addition to the Son of Heaven abandoning the country to make them feel hopeless to return to heaven, the other most important reason is that Wu Sangui is likely to Yongzhen Yungui, so they don't have to be angry with the Manchurians after they vote for Wu Sangui. After all, they have been fighting with the Manchurians for so many years, and some national integrity is still there, and if the situation is not irreparable, they will not choose to surrender. Now Wu Sangui said that he might have to leave Yunnan, which made Li Chengjue and Li Rubi unacceptable, because they really couldn't stand the Qing court sending a Manchurian to take care of them.

Ma Bao's shouting of these generals made many of the Qing generals' faces change sharply, but seeing that Wu Sangui didn't scold anything, he was worried and suspicious at the same time. Some people are steady and feel that something is wrong, but some people wish to be more chaotic.

Guo Liai, the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty who surrendered to Wu Sangui in Zunyi, shouted: "If the king of Pingxi leaves Yunnan, then we will also return to the mountains and forests, what kind of officials are we doing!" I don't want to be angry with the Manchurians! ”

Guo Liai's shout, and many of the Ming generals who had descended to the Qing Dynasty in the early days immediately echoed it, and there was chaos inside and outside the tent. Fortunately, all the generals present were deliberately selected by Wu Sangui, and there were no Manchus and no Mongols, so I was not afraid that someone would come out to scold the generals, which would lead to an embarrassing scene.

Wu Sangui remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking at the moment.

When there was chaos, Hu Shouliang, who had been silent, got up and walked into the crowd and said to everyone: "Don't worry, everyone, think about it, but what can be done to ensure that everyone and the prince will not be separated!" ”

Guo Yuanlong's eyes rolled and said, "The prince stays in Yunnan, and everyone naturally can't disperse." ”

"The land of Yungui is dangerous, and it is a good place to raise troops and train soldiers, why do we want to leave?" It was Ma Ning, the chief soldier of the right side town, who spoke.

Shen Yingshi, the chief soldier of Zuolu Town, also said: "I have worked hard for the imperial court for more than ten years, this battle has been fought enough, it is time to choose a place to spend the rest of my life!" I think this Yungui is very good, and I don't want to go to other places anyway. ”

"That's right! We settled in Yungui with the prince to spend the rest of our lives! ”

Wu Sangui's descendants and Guanning generals shouted one after another, and when they called, the generals attached to them suddenly knew in their hearts, knowing that Wu Sangui was originally playing Yongzhen Yungui's abacus.

Hu Shouliang raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then shook his head and said to everyone: "This plan is good!" But some people may not be willing to let the prince stay in Yungui, which is what everyone wants. ”

"Who would dare not to?" It was Ma Bao who spoke, his eyes widening.

Hu Shouliang sighed and said, "General Ma, there are some things that are inconvenient to say clearly. ”

"What's not to say clearly?!"

When Ma Bao was about to have a seizure, Fang Xianting stepped forward and said: "General Ma, do you think, the prince really wants to stay in Yungui, the imperial court is afraid that the prince will support the army and respect himself, and when the time comes, a holy decree will come down to disband us and others, will everyone disperse or not?" ”

Ma Bao said angrily: "Shunzhi is the emperor of the Tartars, not the king of my Han people, if he is in a hurry, I will follow the prince against him!" ”

"Yes, anti-him, anti-him!"

The generals were already drunk, and when they heard this, not only did they not feel frightened, but they applauded! This is also because all the generals are Han Chinese, and most of them were Ming generals not long ago. At this time, even those generals who were still sober had to shout a few words against their will, because they had already seen that the wine banquet tasted wrong today. It's not good for everyone to be drunk and sober up, so they don't have to worry about the Qing court settling accounts with them in the future, and they have to think about what Wu Sangui thinks of them.

Wu Sangui's eyes flashed, and he didn't say anything, but only nodded towards Fang Xianting. Fang Xianting knew in his heart, but he said: "No, never!" This is a great rebellion, and we should not say it freely. ”

"Okay, you guys really drank too much, talking nonsense here, I, Wu Sangui, am a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, how can I do that great rebellion!"

Wu Sangui first put on an angry face and reprimanded the generals for drinking and making trouble, but later changed his words and said: "Although the Southern Dynasty is broken, Emperor Yongli is in Burma, and General Li Dingguo is also in Menggen. According to the humble opinion of this king, Emperor Yongli will not die, and General Li will not be destroyed, and the imperial court will not issue an edict to dissolve us. But if the court really wants to dissolve us, this king will arrange everything for you, and it will never chill you. ”

"Lord Wang! ....”

Ma Bao was about to say more, Wu Sangui waved his hand at him and said, "General Ma's heart, this king already knows, but this matter is not as easy as the general imagined, there must be a process." If General Ma and the generals don't think about it, they will follow this king closely. I still have the old saying: we are only about brotherhood, not master and servant. I, Wu Sangui, have food to eat, and everyone will have food to eat! ”

"Okay, I'll wait for the king!"

Wu Sangui's heartfelt words made the crowd burst into tears.

Fang Xianting, Hu Shouliang and others also came up to ease the atmosphere, and the banquet went on for a while, and many of the generals were drunk, and each had someone come to help them settle down. This trouble only lasted until late at night.

..........

"Settled?"

"It's all arranged."

"The soldiers brought by Ma Bao will also send some food."

"I've called Guo Yuanlong to do it."

Hearing that Hu Shouliang's things were done in place, Wu Sangui smiled slightly, and suddenly said: "Bai Ri has wronged you." ”

Hu Shouliang smiled and said: "What is the prince talking about, Shouliang has never felt wronged, if the prince really beats Shouliang's forty boards, Shouliang is afraid that he will be happier?" ”

"Oh?" Wu Sangui was puzzled.

"Hitting is kissing, scolding is love. The prince beats Shouliang, that is to be close to Shouliang. ”

"You."

Wu Sangui laughed, and Hu Shouliang also laughed. After the laughter, Hu Shouliang was still a little worried: "Lord Wang, if Ma Bao and the others know about the things in the north, will there be any more recurrence?" ”

Wu Sangui shook his head, he saw Ma Bao very accurately.

"The line Guoan has nothing to do in Guangxi, Luo Keduo can't break out in Guizhou, our grain road is stuck by the Taiping Army, and Izumo and Guizhou are only one way to Sichuan and Shaanxi, in case there is really a problem, the prince must plan early."

Wu Sangui nodded, but said: "Shouliang doesn't think that the current situation is very suitable for Hong Chengchou's three words." ”

Hu Shouliang's face moved: "What does the prince mean?" ”

"The line is useless, Luo Keduo is useless, Doni wants to open up the road to the north, so he can only ask this king to send troops, so does this king want something with the court."

"Yongzhen Yungui?"

"Our current value is not something that can be used by Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, perhaps, we can get more."

Wu Sangui said, turned around with his hands in his hands, and shot his gaze to the distant, pitch-black north.

......

After Ma Bao surrendered Wu Sangui, not long after, Ma Weixing, the prince of the Ming and Xuguo Kingdoms, Ta Xince, the general Ta Xince, and Ma Zide, the son of Ma Jinzhong, the king of Hanyang, who had withdrawn to Lijiang and Lanzhou, led six or seven thousand soldiers and horses to surrender to Wu Sangui one after another. Wu Zisheng, Marquis of Huairen, surrendered at Yongchang Mansion. In addition, there were more than 4,100 people led by the Marquis of Qishan, Yang Cheng, Zhao Wu, Shi Wen, Deng Wanggong, etc., and 600 troops led by Yang Wubo Liao Yu; Xianyang Hou Qi Sansheng led Meng Jinbo, Wei Yong's son Wei Junzhong, and the general soldier Wang Yougong and other soldiers of more than 7,900 people, more than 1,300 horses, and three elephants to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

In April, Wu Sangui asked Doni to report to the Qing court for approval, and divided the surrendered Ming army into 10 battalions, with Ma Bao, Li Rubi, Gao Qilong, Liu Zhifu, Ta Xince, Wang Hui, Liu Wei, Ma Weixing, Wu Zisheng, and Yang Wei as the general soldiers of the 10 battalions. The 10 battalions have been reorganized with a total of 56,000 soldiers, including more than 400 generals and colonels, more than 4,200 war horses, and countless ordnance. (To be continued.) )
