Chapter 155: The Son
Compared with the southwestern provinces, the neighboring province of Fujian can be called the upper province, not only the population resources are far more than the surrounding area, but also the more rare is that since the Ming Dynasty, Guangdong has the sea trade trade, and the sea trade is so lucrative that people are tongue-in-cheek, so that Guangdong Province has naturally become the treasure land of the Shang family in the eyes of the father and son. The father and son had long regarded Guangdong as their forbidden place, otherwise they would not have resisted so hard when Li Dingguo's army attacked Guangdong twice, and if it was another province, they would have run away long ago.
Similarly, Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan, is also very hot on the treasure land of Guangdong, the so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, in front of Shang Kexi's father's "tiger", the calf Geng Jimao is not timid at all, Jingnan Wangfu has made it clear in the past two years that he also wants Guangdong, at least he wants to share a piece of the treasure land of Guangdong, otherwise Geng Jimao will not insist on staying in Guangzhou. In order to get rid of Geng Jimao, Shang Kexi went to Beijing several times before and after, but they were all sunk in the sea, and the young emperor in the Forbidden City seemed to be very satisfied with the current situation in Guangdong, and was not in a hurry to decide which vassal king Guangdong would belong to.
There is only one bowl of porridge, but there are two monks, and the host of the temple does not care, and the relationship between the two feudatories in Guangdong naturally becomes very delicate. At present, the two feudatories can join hands, and once the great enemy is gone, the two feudatories will not be so monolithic. Li Shutai also saw these situations in his eyes and remembered them in his heart, and the young Son of Heaven must have explained something to him, otherwise he would not have been in a hurry to give the two vassal kings eye medicine as soon as he took office.
As the prince of Pingnan, the future prince of Pingnan, Shang Zhixin is much more sensible than his younger brother Shang Zhixiao, this sensible is not to say that Li Shutai wronged him, in terms of being a person, Shang Zhixin is indeed arrogant, and there is no one in his eyes, except for his father Shang Kexi and Pingnan Wangfu, there are a few people. Other people are really not taken seriously by him, even his younger brother Shang Zhixiao is just a dispensable figure in his eyes, but for the relationship between Guangdong and Pingnan Wangfu and Beijing. This prince is still quite sensible, and most of the notes that Shang Kexi has delivered to Beijing in the past two years were made by him. Among them, the music about the transfer of the feudal domain to Jingnan is even more of his own work, of course, His Royal Highness the Prince is not very proficient in pen and ink, and the specific person who operates it has others.
At the beginning of the year, after Li Dingguo lifted the siege of Xinhui, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao sent an urgent delivery to Beijing at the same time, and the content was the same -- to repay meritorious service.
Shang Kexi repaid his merits for the banner soldiers of the Pingnan Palace, and Geng Jimao repaid the merits for the bannermen of his Jingnan Palace, a Han army with a yellow flag. A Han army inlaid with a blue flag, fighting for merit is very happy, everyone said that Shouxinhui is his family's soldiers, so that the Qing court does not know who should determine whose merit should be determined, or Li Shutai really can't stand it and goes to Feng Zhishu, and finally the Qing court decided that the Xinhui contributed the most in the first battle to the soldiers and horses under the command of King Pingnan.
It's a pity that Yunlong, the main general of the first battle of Xinhui, actually asked a Xiucai in the city to be killed, which made Shang Kexi lose face, and the biggest reason why he and Geng Jimao competed was to ensure that Yunlong was appointed as the governor of Guangdong. As a result, he completely controlled the military and political power in Guangdong, who would have thought that the credit would be won over, but the people were gone.
As a last resort. Shang Kexi had no choice but to take a step back to protect another favorite general -- Wu Jinzhong, the right-wing commander-in-chief of the Dashun Army who was born as a thief, was the governor of Guangdong, and the song had also been handed over, as long as no one in the court made trouble, eighty percent of the palace could pass.
His own soldiers and horses are stronger than Geng Jimao's kid, and since he went south, he has successively accepted a lot of soldiers and generals, and with the credit of pacifying Chaozhou and holding Xinhui, he can snatch the post of governor of Guangdong under his command, how to calculate that Pingnan Wangfu has an advantage in Guangdong, and now it depends on when Geng Jimao's kid can stay up and slip away, if you really want to leave. If you have no money and no soldiers, can you really suffer King Jingnan?
His own brother Shang Zhixiao can't look down on it. Moreover, Geng Jimao, who was one year younger than himself and was crowned a prince because of his dead father, was young. Because Shang Kexi, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming are close to each other, and they are all included in the Han Army Banner, their homes are very close, so Shang Zhixin and Geng Jimao often play together.
At that time, Geng Jimao was at best the follower of the "brother" Shang Zhixin, and Shang Zhixin's attitude towards him was a little playmate, a little older, so he was not very happy to play with Geng Jimao, but he was thinking about Kong Youde's baby daughter Kong Sizhen all day long, and Sister Chengtian screamed, pointing to his father who could tell him about his family, and brought Kong Sizhen back to the house to make a fuss.
After Kong Youde's death, Kong Sizhen fled to Beijing alone, and was adopted by the queen mother in the palace as an adopted daughter, and was given a "Heshuo Gege", I heard that the young son of heaven is also very hot on this Gege, and the two are sticking all day long, so I can't guarantee that there is anything dirty between the two. As soon as he thought of the woman who wanted to ride since he was a child, he asked other men to ride, Shang Zhixin was angry and aggrieved, if this man was not the emperor, he would have dismantled him a long time ago, but that person's status was too high, not something that he, the prince of Pingnan, could offend, and this tone could only be pressed in his heart.
It's all fucking people, why are you the emperor and I am a son! Why should I listen to you, I will listen to you!
The prince will have a kind of Xiangning!
That's how it should be!
Shang Zhixin, who felt that he had been cuckolded, suddenly had this idea the year before last, and as time passed, this thought somehow became stronger and stronger
Shang Kexi, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, they were all born in the Liao army of the Ming Dynasty, his father Shang Xueli was a guerrilla in the Dongjiang River in the Ming Dynasty, and died in Louzi Mountain in the later battle, and his brother Shang Kejin was also a famous general in Liaodong, and Chongzhen died in the battle with the Houjin Army in four years. The death of the father and the death of the brother, reasoning, this is a deep hatred in the sea of blood, but Shang Kexi still descended to kill the enemy who killed his father and brother.
Three generations are in the army, the Shang family is also considered to be a general, to Shang Zhixin's generation, the bow and horse martial arts have not fallen, Shang Zhixin himself is extremely accurate in archery, riding skills are also good, the younger brother Shang Zhixiao is good at using long knives, and the two brothers are not as good as Li Shutai said in martial arts. The two brothers are extremely diligent in martial arts, but they are not natural preferences, but they are controlled by the current situation, and now the Ming and Qing dynasties are fighting, the world is a martial arts world, and the Shang family is also the king of Pingnan, and they want to pacify the southwest for the Qing court.
However, after receiving his father's order to lead the troops to help Xinhui, Shang Zhixin was extremely unwilling, he was not unwilling to lead the troops to fight, he was a young man, and he had practiced martial arts for many years, how could he not like to fight, and he was not Li Dingguo's tiger, so he didn't have to worry about being afraid. What he didn't want was that it was not his father Shang Kexi who asked him to lead the army, but the kid Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan. (To be continued)
