Wu Yingxiong escaped from Beijing and took a ship from the Bohai Sea to the south. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

When he was about to arrive in Chongming, Wu Yingxiong said to Ma Chaoxing, "Brother Ma, the waterway is convenient. You still need to bother to enter the river and go up the river to Chongqing. ”

Ma Chaoxing glanced at Wu Yingxiong and said, "Let's go to Nanjing first!" ”

Wu Yingxiong was taken aback and said, "Why? ”

"The surname of the country wants to see you!"

"Brother Ma, Qiming is very grateful for your life-saving grace, and also grateful for the great kindness of King Qin. It's just that Qiming hasn't seen my father for many years, and my two children haven't seen his grandfather. Qiming wants to go to see my father first, and then make a special trip to thank King Qin in the future! Wu Yingxiong said.

"I'm sorry, I only listen to Ling Guo's surname!" Ma Chaoxing said expressionlessly.

No matter what Wu Yingxiong said, Ma Chaoxing just ignored it.

The ship quickly sailed towards Nanjing.

At the port of Nanjing City, Wu Yingxiong and Yang Duzhi reluctantly took the two children off the ship and went to Kunqing Palace under the leadership of the guards to meet Zheng Chenggong.

As soon as they entered the palace and saw a man in his thirties sitting on the main seat, Wu Yingxiong and Yang Duzhi knew that the one in front of them must be Zheng Chenggong's unintention.

Wu Yingxiong hurriedly knelt down, "Qiming thanks King Qin for his rescue!" ”

Zheng Chenggong hurriedly stopped, "Don't kneel, don't kneel." I'm not going to kneel here. Get up! ”

Zheng Chenggong walked down the steps, helped Wu Yingxiong and Yang Duzhidu up, and said, "I've wanted to see you for a long time, and now I finally see you." How's it going, are you still used to living at sea? ”

Wu Yingxiong hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Everything else is fine, but it's not as stable as on land." ”

Zheng Chenggong laughed and said, "I got used to sitting a few more times, and then I felt no different from land." Maybe by then, you're not used to being stable on land? ”

Wu Yingxiong also smiled and said, "The little nephew is scared to take the boat this time, but I don't want to taste it again!" ”

Zheng Chenggong said meaningfully, "That maybe." After being on the boat for so long, a bird must have faded out of its mouth! Come, let's eat first, and talk while eating! ”

At the banquet, Wu Yingxiong hinted many times that he wanted to go to Sichuan.

Zheng Chenggong always said, "Virtuous nephew, I've been on the boat for so long, and my body is tired, so I will rest in Nanjing for a while first, and then I'll be healthy, and then it's not too late to see my father." ”

is under the roof, and Wu Yingxiong has to worry about the safety of his two children, so he doesn't dare to resist Zheng Chenggong's arrangement.

In this way, Wu Yingxiong and his son stayed in Nanjing after Zheng Chenggong's strong stay.

Yang Duzhi rushed to Sichuan with the letters of Wu Yingxiong and Zheng Chenggong to deliver a letter to Wu Sangui.

Since Wu Sangui decided to take refuge in Zheng Chenggong, it has not been easy.

Outside, there is the pressure of Zheng Jiajun's Taishan pressure, and inside there is the crisis of rebellion by his generals.

Internal and external troubles, heavy pressure pressed every nerve of Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui carefully used all the resources in his hands and worked hard to develop his strength, and at the same time, he had to deal with the temptations of various forces.

Recently, Wu Sangui's nerves have been tense all the time, so that he can cope with every sudden event.

But today, Wu Sangui suddenly smiled.

Wu Sangui was both laughed at and laughed at angrily.

Wu Sangui received two letters, one written by his eldest son Wu Yingxiong and the other by Zheng Chenggong.

Concerned about his son, Wu Sangui first opened the letter written by Wu Yingxiong.

The content of the letter written by Wu Yingxiong is ordinary, nothing more than that he is in good health, and Wu Sangui does not have to worry. At the end of the letter, he also wrote that Nanjing has a good scenery, and his father and son are going to stay here for a while, so that Wu Sangui does not have to worry about it.

Seeing that his children and grandchildren had safely escaped from the hands of the Tartars in the capital, Wu Sangui was very happy and couldn't help but smile.

It's just that the sentence in the letter that he wants to stay in Nanjing for a while makes Wu Sangui feel a little uneasy.

Wu Sangui hurriedly opened Zheng Chenggong's letter.

The gist of Zheng Chenggong's letter was: I heard that Mr. Wu was worried about the safety of his children and grandchildren who were hostages in the capital and did not dare to surrender.

I, Zheng Chenggong, am not an unkind person, and now you see, in order to fulfill you, I have helped you rescue people.

Now that you have no worries, isn't it time to publicly express your intention to take refuge?

So hurry up and give Sichuan to Lao Tzu, you take your people to Australia!

By the way, you can also bring Wu Yingxiong and his son with him to reunite as a family and enjoy the joy of family. Wouldn't it be a pleasure!

Compared with the two letters, Wu Sangui did not know that his eldest son Wu Yingxiong had just left the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den.

Now that he is being taken hostage by Zheng Chenggong, he is forcing himself to express his position quickly.

That's it! That's it!

Anyway, he had already decided to temporarily escape from the whirlpool of Huaxia, but now Zheng Chenggong is actually a step ahead, and this time the king will admit it.

"Come on, go and call Wu Yinglin and Fang Yichen over!"

"Yes, Lord Wang!" One of the guards was busy.

The next day, Wu Yinglin and Fang Yichen visited Zheng Chenggong again with Wu Sangui's special envoy.

On the third day of the ninth month of the eleventh year of Yongli, Wu Yinglin and his entourage came to the Huagai Hall of the Huangming Palace in Nanjing and saw Zheng Chenggong again.

When Wu Yinglin saw Zheng Chenggong this time, his attitude was even more respectful.

He said cautiously: "See King Qin, my father sent his little nephew to ask King Qin for the guilt book, and also ask King Qin to hand it over to the emperor!" ”

Wu Yinglin respectfully submitted a document to Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong opened it and quickly read it, and the letter roughly meant.

The minister Wu Sangui was confused back then, deceived by the villain, and mistakenly believed that the Tartars were like the Hui of the Tang Dynasty, and they came to help eradicate the thieves.

I never thought that the ambition of the Tartar wolf would dare to steal the artifact and occupy the magpie's nest, and the minister was the most heinous.

I wanted to die to thank the world.

But thinking of not killing thieves, the Ming Dynasty will also die.

The minister had no choice but to live secretly, endure humiliation and commit himself to the Tartars, in order to be able to fight back, restore the Ming Dynasty, and have the opportunity to atone for his sins.

Now the minister has finally waited for this opportunity, and is willing to follow Li Chengdong's example to restore his sight anyway and present Sichuan to correct his name.

The minister knew that even so, it would be difficult to eliminate the evil of the minister, and the minister was willing to go overseas to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty to repay the emperor's great kindness.

Please also ask the emperor for permission.

After reading this document, Zheng Chenggong sighed in his heart that a thick-skinned person is extraordinary.

The dead can be said as if they were alive, and their faces are not red and their hearts are not beating.

Although he admired Wu Sangui's cheekiness and shamelessness, Zheng Chenggong said with a straight face for the sake of his own plans, "If you are a son of Shengming today, you will definitely be able to understand your father's loyalty, and you will feel your father's spirit of serving the country wholeheartedly." I will give it my way! Virtuous nephews can rest assured to go back and persuade your father to prepare to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty! ”

Wu Yinglin hurriedly bowed down and said, "Qihua thanked King Qin for being thoughtful. I want to thank King Qin for sending someone to rescue my eldest brother, and Qihua thanked King Qin for his great kindness on behalf of my father! ”

After speaking, Wu Yinglin stood solemnly, hugged his hands together, left hand on top, palm inward, hands slowly raised his forehead, leaned over and thanked Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong was busy helping Wu Yinglin and said: "Virtuous nephews don't need to be polite, since they are ministers in the same hall, they should help each other." Virtuous nephew, I wonder when your father is going to go to Australia? ”

Wu Yinglin said cautiously, "The movement of the army is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the virtuous nephew is afraid that it will take half a year at the earliest." ”

Zheng Chenggong said with an unkind face, "My Zheng Jiajun will start the Northern Expedition next year, and I still need to rectify Sichuan before, three or five months is too long." The virtuous nephew went back and persuaded your father to act quickly and go to Australia before the end of the year. You can go there for a good year! ”

Wu Yinglin hurriedly said, "The virtuous nephew wants to go back and discuss with his father!" King Qin, now that the misunderstanding between you and me has been eliminated, both of them are both serving the imperial court, and you and I can now be said to be as close as one family. My eldest brother has been staying with you for many days, and my father misses my eldest brother day and night. Can I let my eldest brother go back with me to meet my father? ”

Zheng Chenggong smiled: "It's not that I don't want your eldest brother to get together with your father." As early as when your eldest brother came to me, I had the heart to send your eldest brother back, so that your father would not worry about it. It's just that your eldest brother is very obsessed with Go, and has the same interests as my subordinate Yao Qisheng. I often play chess these days, but your eldest brother's chess skills still need to grow, and he has not won a game against Yao Qisheng. Your eldest brother is a stubborn person, so he has to win Yao Qisheng's game. Now I'm concentrating on studying a chess game, and I don't want to go back for the time being. Fortunately, his chess skills are improving very quickly, and he should be able to win against my men soon. Almost by the time your father goes to Australia, he'll win. When the time comes, let your father take him back with him! ”

My eldest brother is obsessed with Go, bullshit, how could my brother like the brain-draining game of Go.

It's clear that you don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles! Wu Sangui didn't go to Australia, thinking that Wu Yingxiong could go back.

But Wu Yinglin didn't dare to say this.

He said, "Little nephew, go back and persuade my father!" ”

Zheng Chenggong nodded and said, "That's right, nephew." Look at my head, I forgot to tell you something. It's just that I see that your father has been suffering from unexplained grievances for so many years, and I am sorry. Yesterday, I announced to the world that your father Wu Sangui had always wanted to do it anyway, just because your eldest brother was captured as a hostage by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Your father didn't dare to defect. In order to serve the imperial court, your father begged me to sell and rescue Wu Yingxiong. I agreed, and I also rescued Wu Yingxiong. In order to repay the gratitude, your father gave Sichuan away! ”

What the! You've made it known to the world!

Broken!

Wu Yinglin almost cried goodbye to Zheng Chenggong.

As soon as they got out of Zheng's mansion, Wu Yinglin and Fang Yichen hurried to Sichuan. (To be continued.) )
