When the Qing army invaded Yunnan, Li Dingguo planned to take Zhu Youlang to Kuidong to meet Wen'an, and sent Feng Shuangli and others to Jianchang to operate in advance, but he did not expect that Zhu Youlang fled directly out of the country and went to Myanmar under the bewitchment of Ma Jixiang and others, resulting in the stillbirth of the Sichuan plan.

Now, Wen Anzhi sent his son to invite Li Dingguo to Kuidong, but Li Dingguo could not go, because Kuidong had not recognized the Dingwu court in the southern capital until now, and even the era name was still Yongli, and there was no official contact with the Taiping army.

The reason why this is the case is that Wen Anzhi insisted that Zhu Youlang did not die at the hands of Wu Sangui, but at the hands of Tan Yi. Therefore, if Zhou Shixiang wanted the military and people of Kuidong to recognize the legitimacy of the Dingwu court, he must first execute Tan Yi, who killed the king, otherwise the military and people of Kuidong would not be enshrined in Dingwu even if they died.

This request does not sound excessive, it is cost-effective to execute the person who killed the monarch in exchange for Kui Dong's side to attach it.

How did Zhu Youlang die, the outside world talked about it, and Wu Sangui flatly denied it, claiming that it was the Taiping Army who killed Yongli. The Taiping army certainly did not admit it, and both sides accused the other of being the murderer of Yongli.

It is also said that Zhu Youlang fell off a cliff in the chaos of the army and died, and some people say that he was killed and robbed of treasures by a few stragglers who were obsessed with money, and some people said that Zhu Youlang saw that he was surrounded on all sides that day, and in despair, he followed Emperor Chongzhen and hanged himself on an old tree. Some people also say that Zhu Youlang is actually not dead, just like Emperor Jianwen, who does not know his whereabouts, and became a monk.

A few days ago, a team of Ming troops in Jianchang was out hunting when they met a Taoist priest from Qingcheng Mountain. According to the Taoist priest, there was a new person in the Taoist temple on their mountain, this person was good-looking, spoke a Hengzhou dialect, and at first glance he was not an ordinary man, but a big man.

When this team of Ming soldiers heard about this, they felt strange, so they reported to Feng Shuangli, the king of Qingyang. Feng Shuangli was also very surprised when he heard that there was such a thing, and specially asked Ai Chengye, the prince of Yan'an, to take people to Qingcheng Mountain to see what was going on. But after Ai Chengye and the others went, the people in the Taoist temple said that the person had gone down the mountain and did not know his whereabouts. The matter was over, but rumors that the Son of Yongli was not dead spread in Sichuan.

In short, there are all kinds of bizarre theories about Zhu Youlang's death, and until now, there is no reason that can convince the world, and it has become a headless public case.

What is the truth of the facts, Wu Sangui is not clear, but Zhou Shixiang is clear.

Zhu Youlang is still dead, and how did he die, it has rotted in Zhou Shixiang's stomach. Perhaps before he died, his son might have gotten the answer.

Wen Anzhi's request was rejected by Zhou Shixiang.

Tan Yi's betrayal that day led to the failure of the Thirteen Families to seize Chongqing, which was the biggest regret in Wen'an's heart, and it was also a hateful thing. In addition, Tan Hong sent someone to report that Tan Yi was going to intercept and kill Yongli, and Kui Dong's soldiers and horses who rushed to save Yongli were indeed blocked by Tan Yi's department, and they also saw Tan Yi leading his troops to rush up the hillside where Yongli was located, so Wen Anzhi believed that Tan Yi killed Yongli, so he strongly asked Nanjing to execute Tan Yi, who was named the Duke of Sichuan.

Kill Tan Yi, a capricious traitor, and win the hearts of Wen Anzhi and Kuidong's military and civilians, if it were someone else, maybe he would have agreed. However, Zhou Shixiang couldn't agree, because Wen Anzhi may really think that Tan Yi killed Zhu Youlang, so he wanted to kill him to vent his hatred.

But he knew that Zhu Youlang's death was not directly related to Tan Yi, and even Tan Yi's idea at the beginning was not to kill Zhu Youlang, but to save him from Zhang Guozhu and Wu Sanfu and send him to the Taiping Army.

This alone, of course, is not worth Zhou Shixiang to keep Tan Yi, and the most important reason why he can't agree to Wen An's conditions is that the execution of Tan Yi is tantamount to telling the world that the murderer who killed Zhu Youlang is him Zhou Shixiang!

Now it is clear to all the families in central Sichuan that after Tan Yi led his troops to leave Chongqing, he immediately raised the banner of the Taiping Army. This shows that before Zhu Youlang was ambushed, Tan Yi had already accepted the surrender of the Taiping army. Then Wen Anzhi insisted that Tan Yi killed Yongli, and anyone with a heart can know as long as he thinks about it, and there may be another mastermind behind this matter.

Everyone is not stupid, no matter how bold Tan Yi is, it is impossible for him to do something to kill the king, because this matter will not benefit him at all. Wu Sangui didn't dare to do this at the beginning, but he Tan Yi. The living Zhu Youlang is more important to Tan Yi than dead.

Therefore, if Tan Yi is the murderer of the monarch, then why did he suddenly kill from Chongqing, why did he intercept Wu Sanfu and them, and how did he know that Zhu Youlang was among Wu Sanfu and them?

As long as you think about it, you can know that this matter may not really be Wu Sangui's doing.

After Yongli's death, Wu Sangui was the most unlucky and lost his qualification to call the world. However, because of the death of Yongli, the Dingwu regime in the southern capital really became the sole successor of the Ming Dynasty. If it is said that after Yongli's death, who will benefit the most, it is obviously the Dingwu court in the southern capital. The actual controller of the Dingwu Imperial Court was Zhou Shixiang, who had a heavy army. admits that Tan Yi is the murderer, and Zhou Shixiang has to face the doubts of the world.

Of course, Zhou Shixiang can't make people suspect that he killed Zhu Youlang, so he can't agree to Wen Anzhi's conditions. Even if Zhu Youlang was really killed by Tan Yi, he had to treat this matter as if it didn't exist. Only by protecting Tan Yi to death, the real culprit of Zhu Youlang's death will never have a result. If he agrees to Wen Anzhi, I am afraid that the people of the world will not say that he, the king of Qi, avenged the dead Emperor Yongli, but that he killed people and killed his mouth.

In addition, Tan Yi's surrender allowed the Taiping army to extend its power into Sichuan and block the Wu army in Guizhou. Leaving Tan Yi's life is also to tell those generals of the former Ming Army who worked hard for Wu Sangui that even Tan Yi and others can be crowned princes in the Dingwu Imperial Court, if they come over, can they still miss Tan Yi.

In public or private, Zhou Shixiang could not execute Tan Yi, at least, he could not do so before the world was unified. Zhu Youlang's death has become a headless public case, and there will never be the truth, which is in the interests of Zhou Shixiang.

Zhou Shixiang refused to execute Tan Yi, and the consequence was that Wen Anzhi did not recognize the Dingwu regime.

Kui Dong is now a fourth-party force independent of the Taiping Army, the Guanning Army, the Qing Army, and the remnants of the Chuang Army (Zhongzhen Battalion), or the successor of the Yongli regime. Although this regime is not recognized by the world at all, it has no strength to compete with the rest, and even the interior itself is divided.

The old lady Gao who stayed in Kuidong did not support Wen'anzhi, so it was impossible for Yuan Zongdi, the governor of Hubei, and Li Laiheng, the king of Shun, to stand on Wen'an's side. Wen'an's ability to command was only a few thousand of the original Sichuan and the Ming army withdrawn from Huguang and some righteous teachers.

Zhou Shixiang really didn't understand why Wen Anzhi was so tough, could it be that who killed Yongli could really be compared with the overall situation of resisting the Qing Dynasty?

After Yongli abandoned the country, Zhou Shixiang also sent people to Kuidong to contact Wen Anzhi, hoping that the other party could support the Tang King to ascend the throne with him, but Wen Anzhi refused, and always took Yongli who abandoned the country as the right one.

The former is also the secretary of the Yongli court, and the latter is the Huguang Ministry appointed by Yongli, but the two immediately abandoned the view of the Tang Gui portal after Yongli abandoned the country, and took the initiative to stand up to support the succession of the Tang Dynasty.

Perhaps, this is also a manifestation of loyalty.

Zhou Shixiang admired Wen Anzhi, who was still on the front line of the anti-Qing Dynasty at the age of seventy, so he had no intention of solving Kuidong by force. He believed that over time, the old overseer would realize that his stubbornness was wrong.

He once brought a lot of gifts and precious medicinal materials to Wen Anzhi and Mrs. Gao in Kuidong through Yuan Zongdi, the governor of Hubei, hoping that these two old men who had witnessed decades of history could persist longer, persist until the day when Manchu was wiped out, and persist until the day when China was rejuvenated.

Wen Anzhi refused to recognize the Dingwu Imperial Court, but sent his second son to Guiyang to invite Li Dingguo to Kuidong, and Li Dingguo must have been very embarrassed. He has already been appointed as Emperor Wu, how can he go to Kuidong at this time, who still uses the name of Yongli year. If he goes, won't he say that he is a dignified king who is a man of inconsistency in his words and deeds?

Moreover, the land of Kuidong is very barren, and the life of the military and civilians is still very difficult, and Wen Anzhi is only barely able to maintain it there, and he is unable to enter the map at all. And Li Dingguo has just accepted Zhou Shixiang's request to be in charge of the third theater to conquer the northwest, proving on the battlefield that he is not old. Therefore, it is impossible for Li Dingguo to go to Kuidong. He wants to recuperate and lead the army to seek justice from Wu Sangui.

Li Dingguo never admitted that Wu Sangui was a person who had regained his sight anyway, and in his opinion, this person was as hateful as the Manchus.

Moreover, Li Dingguo and his subordinates were rescued by the Taiping Army and returned to China, and his old department also accepted the reorganization of the Taiping Army, which made it even more difficult for him to go to Kuidong.

As the king of Jin, Li Dingguo's every move now represents not only his personal gains and losses, but also the interests of nearly 10,000 soldiers and civilians who returned to China from outside the border. If he went to Kuidong, it would be obvious that those old troops who had just gone through nine deaths from outside the border before they could set foot on their homeland would not be able to go with him, this was not something they wanted to do, nor was it something that the Taiping army would not let them go, but whether they could survive in Kuidong.

At the beginning, Li Dingguo thought of going to Kuidong to join Wen'an in desperation, but he categorically did not gain a foothold in Kuidong, but hoped to attack Sichuan or Huguang with Kuidong's loyal battalion and reopen the battlefield against the Qing Dynasty.

The land of Kuidong is by no means a place for raising soldiers and operating them.

Li Dingguo couldn't let his subordinates follow him again because of one person's gains and losses, so he asked Wen Xieji to go back and tell his father, hoping that the old supervisor could recognize the Dingwu regime with him for the sake of the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty, and accept the reorganization of the Taiping Army, so that the soldiers of Kuidong could come out of Kuidong and go to the battlefield of resisting the Qing Dynasty and killing the Tartars with the Taiping Army.

Wen Anzhi sent his second son Wen Xieji to Guiyang to ask Li Dingguo to go to Kuidong, and Guiyang naturally sent the news to Zhou Shixiang's desk as soon as possible.

Zhou Shixiang didn't take this matter to heart, because he believed that it was impossible for Li Dingguo to go to Kuidong.

Guo Zhiqi sent a letter to the southern capital, and Emperor Dingwu no longer obstructed the marriage of Zhou Shixiang and the eldest princess, Guo Zhiqi hoped that Zhou Shixiang would enter Beijing to marry the eldest princess in these days. After that, he will petition Emperor Dingwu in the name of the cabinet and issue a decree to reform the system.

After putting down Guo Zhiqi's letter, Zhou Shixiang got up and moved his muscles, a little funny, feeling that Guo Zhiqi, the first assistant, was now eager to tie him, His Royal Highness the King of Qi, to the boudoir of Her Royal Highness the Princess, which was quite a bit of a sense that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuch was in a hurry.

It can also be seen from the middle Zhou Shixiang that Guo Zhiqi does not support his usurpation, otherwise, he would not do it. Perhaps, this Guo Ge Lao is now a dead horse and a live horse doctor, and he has pinned the responsibility of saving the Ming Dynasty on the princess.

"Blind!"

Zhou Shixiang shouted outside, and the blind man Li Zaiwai promised to come in quickly.

"Bring that Third Prince Zhu here." Zhou Shixiang commanded.

"Dashuai, which third prince Zhu?"

The blind Li was confused, but he had heard of the third prince of the Dragon King, but he had never heard of the third prince of Zhu.

Zhou Shixiang glared at this guy who didn't care about anything angrily, and said in a muffled voice: "It's the teacher sent by Haining a few months ago." ”

"Oh, the one surnamed Wang!"

The blind man Li remembered it, and he smiled and went to lead someone.
