Sun Kewang just sent Yang Hao to Baoqing first to negotiate with the Qing side to surrender, in order to negotiate a good treatment and then take people to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Three days after Yang Yu left first, Bai Wenxuan led the pursuers.

Sun Kewang had no choice but to follow Wu Fengsheng, Cheng Wanli and others to the Wugang boundary overnight, and was intercepted and killed by Yang Wu, the general soldier of Nanming Town guarding Wugang, and could barely get out of it, and was trapped on a barren mountain.

On 30 June, Sun Kewang sent a letter to the Hunan authorities in Qinghunan, saying: "Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and others have rebelled and poisoned living beings. But Wangxingshi asked for guilt, but he was tempted. His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty begged to play on behalf of him, and sent 10,000 iron horses, willing to sacrifice Yunnan, Guizhou, and Shu to unify and avenge the unworldly. ”

At the same time, Sun Kewang also sent a letter to Hong Chengchou, the five provinces of the Qing Dynasty, and once again said: "I am willing to attach myself to the Qing Dynasty, dedicate the land of Yunnan, Guizhou and Shu, pay tribute every year, and pray for his post (Hong Chengchou claimed himself in the post) to play His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, ask the soldiers to take revenge, to restore the clouds, capture the canal and get the ugly, put down the rebellion, and return to the unification of the chapter." ”

Hong Chengchou was still leading the Qing army to Baoqing in a hurry, and the army was on the border of Hubei.

Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Qinghuguang, first received a distress letter from Sun Kewang.

Zhang Changgeng learned that Sun Kewang was in a critical situation, in order to get this trump card.

Zhang Changgeng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported to the imperial court: "The great rebel Sun Kewang is expected to be in Yunnan and Guizhou, and Zhang Ouyu has been paying diligent teachers for years, and Zhang is used to levy. Today, he is poor, self-defeating, and beggarly converted, which is the blessing of the emperor on the southern border of the southern frontier without hard work. ”

On the one hand, Li Ruchun, the chief soldier of the Huguang Middle Road, and Wang Ping, the chief soldier of the left road, were sent to lead the army to meet and rescue Sun Kewang.

The Qing army repelled the troops intercepted by Yang Wu, and Sun Kewang, his wife, son, and entourage of about 400 people were able to enter the Qing jurisdiction at Huaqiao, south of Baoqing Mansion, and arrived in Baoqing on July 5.

On 10 July, Hong Chengchou personally led a light cavalry from Xiangyang to Xiangxiang County with Gushan Ezhen 60 and others, and on the 15th of the same month, Sun Kewang set off from Baoqing under the escort of the Qing generals Li Ruchun and Wang Ping, and arrived in Xiangxiang on the 18th to meet with Hong Chengchou and others.

Sun Kewang was a defector, and when he saw Hong Chengchou, he immediately knelt down and sang the praises of the merits of the Qing Dynasty.

In order to please the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he made a lot of nonsense: "Yungui is far away at the end of the day, the voice and religion have not been passed, and for more than ten years, he has not dared to resist the king, and he really wants to return to his fate when the time comes......

Hong Chengchou knew that Sun Kewang was the actual ruler of the former Great Western Army, so he naturally did not dare to slack off on the surrender of such an important person.

Hong Chengchou hurriedly stepped forward to help Sun Kewang up, and still treated him as a prince.

Hong Chengchou took Sun Kewang's hand and walked into the banquet together, along the way Sun Kewang praised Sun Kewang's obedience is in line with the way of heaven, and since then there has been a great unification, Sun Kewang's contribution is huge, and the court will not treat him badly.

With Zhang Changgeng and Hong Chengchou's recitals successively sent to Beijing, Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty also knew that Sun Kewang was a good chess piece to deal with the Great Western Army.

In order to show its attention, the Qing court sent Ma Leji, a scholar of the Inner Hanlin Hongwen Academy, as the chief envoy, Hu Zhaolong, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the Inner Hanlin Secretarial Academy, and Qi Chebai, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, as the deputy envoy to carry out the canonization ceremony.

At the beginning of August, Malji arrived in Xiangxiang with the holy decree and held a canonization ceremony.

After canonizing Sun Kewang, he immediately announced that he would enter Beijing to see him.

On 20 August, Sun Kewang arrived in Beijing.

The Qing court ordered Prince Jidu of Heshuo Jian and Prince Yue Le of Heshuo An to lead a large number of high-ranking officials and dignitaries out of the city to greet them, and the scene was quite grand.

The next day, Emperor Shunzhi personally received Sun Kewang in the Taihe Palace.

Within ten days, the emperor gave banquets as many as three times, and gave silver twice, totaling 12,000 taels, in addition to giving mansions, python robes, court clothes, satin, etc., Sun Kewang became a smash hit figure in the Qing court.

Sun Kewang felt the Qing Dynasty's favor towards him, and he also knew the reason for these favors.

When he went to Xiangxiang to meet with Hong Chengchou, Sun Kewang carried out the work on the map with Hong Chengchou and the commanders and commanders.

In order to please the Qing court, Sun Kewang not only provided the military secrets of the Yongli court and other aspects, presented the "map of Yunnan and Guizhou", but also lent Hong Chengchou the 19 soldiers who were familiar with Hunan, Guangxi, Sichuan, and Yunnan-Guizhou as a guide.

After Sun Kewang arrived in Beijing to meet the Qing Emperor, he said again: "The army will conquer Yunnan, and the day the ministers will serve you." The situation in southern Yunnan is familiar to the ministers. or accompany the generals to discuss, or follow the ministers to appease the realms, and serve the original intention of the country. ”

It is naturally impossible to let Sun Kewang go back.

Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty politely refused Sun Kewang's request to go back, and then asked him to write a large number of letters to recruit generals. "Yan has been sealed by the king, and he regards the prince as extremely favorable. All the generals will be given a good lord, not him. But there is no forgiveness for any one in the country. ”

As soon as they were written, the Manchus sent these letters to Hong Chengchou urgently.

Hong Chengchou received those letters of persuasion and knew that the time had come to attack the Great Western Army. However, he didn't dare to act easily, because the situation of the Zheng family army in the southeast is not clear now.

Hong Chengchou was afraid that when he attacked the Great Western Army, the Zheng family army would attack him from behind.

In order to stabilize the Zheng family's army, when Hong Chengchou left Beijing, he gave Emperor Shunzhi a secret fold and offered a plan.

Now Hong Chengchou is waiting, waiting for the success of the plan. (To be continued.) )
