Chapter Thirty-Eight: Surrender Anyway
The reign of the Son of Heaven in the Ming Dynasty, Yongli ten years of October 28 at five watch three o'clock, Yongli sat in the main hall, and was congratulated by hundreds of officials. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The south is stable, and Yongli no longer needs to wander all day long, and his body quickly becomes obese.
Yongli alone occupied the wide dragon chair.
The faint whip sounded three times, and the two classes of civil and military stood neatly.
Wang Kun, the eunuch in the palace, tore his throat and shouted: "If you have something to do and play early, you have nothing to do to retreat!" ”
I saw that in the middle of the squad department, Qu Shi, the secretary of the military department, came out of the squad and said: "Your Majesty, in the past, Pingxi Bo Wu Sangui is on the table, please surrender!" This matter is very important, the minister does not dare to be self-dictated, and implores the emperor to decide! ”
Qu Shiyun handed over Wu Sangui's recital to the eunuch Wang Kun, who in turn handed it over to Yongli.
Yongli opened the chapter and looked at it, only to see that the chapter read: My generation went to return to the Qing Dynasty because of the national disaster, but every time I think about it, since Shaokang has been more than 3,000 years, although the orthodox dynasty has been defeated, there will be those who will rise and rise. This dynasty is deeply benevolent and generous, far beyond the Tang and Song dynasties. The change of the first emperor is a common sympathy. I don't sleep well, and my food is unpleasant; Today, I heard that the Son of Heaven is in western Guangdong, sending people to pay respects, and the dragon watch resembles the ancestor of the gods, and will intersect and be worn by gods and men. The criminal minister is not proud of the Tartar prince, and is willing to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty with a small soldier. May the emperor grant me the grace to return to the light, and the guilty ministers will be grateful. ”
Ma Jixiang also stepped forward on the day: "Your Majesty, today there is Zheng Chenggong, the king of Qin, who has elected Wu Sangui as the governor of Australia. The minister thought that the surrender of Wu Sangui would not only recover Sichuan peacefully, but also strike at the power of the Tartars. May the emperor save the people from living in poverty, hurt the army and the people, release the guilt and be lenient, and let them go overseas to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty. ”
Yongli pondered for a while before playing. Urgently ordered the Hanlin bachelor to draft an edict, the Son of Heaven wrote a personal pen, and sent a stick of incense, and sent Ma Jixiang as an angel to Chongqing to read the holy decree.
Ma Jixiang received the holy edict, said goodbye to Yongli, and did not dare to stop for a long time. The banner was raised, and the officials sent it out of the west gate.
Ma Jixiang carried an edict on his back, a golden box filled with imperial incense, brought hundreds of people, went to the horse, and left Zhaoqing to take the road to Chongqing County.
Let's say that Ma Jixiang came to Chongqing to recruit Wu Sangui, and a group of people came to Chongqing.
Ma Jixiang led people to the south gate of Chongqing, and there were already spies who followed and reported to Wufu.
As soon as Wu Sangui heard that the messenger was coming, he hurriedly led people out of the city to greet him.
Outside the South City Gate of Chongqing, Wu Sangui and Ma Jixiang saw each other, and Ma Jixiang said first: "Congratulations to Ping Xibo!" Xiao Shi was sent by the imperial court to come to Zhao'an and give him the royal wine. Wu Sangui takes the order! ”
Outside the South Gate of Chongqing, Wu Sangui was overjoyed, knelt down and raised his forehead with his hand and said: "It's a blessing for Uncle Shi to be reborn!" ”
The holy decree reads: Since I ascended the throne, I have ruled the world with benevolence and righteousness, performed rituals and pleasures to change the sea, and rewarded and punished the public to determine the war. The heart of seeking talents has not been slack, and the heart of loving the people has not been less negotiable. Bo gives to all people, and wants to be the same as heaven and earth; Benevolence and benevolence, salty so that the people of Li are sheltered. Knowing the nakedness, perceiving my heart. Remembering Wu Sangui and others, they are loyal and righteous, and do not commit tyranny. The heart of submission has been awe-inspiring for a long time, and the will to serve is awe-inspiring. Though they sin evil, each has its own cause. Observe his sincerity, and be deeply pitied. I am now sending Ma Jixiang to hold the edict. Pardon all the crimes committed by Wu Sangui and other people. When the letter of pardon arrives, don't be discouraged, return early, and it must be reused. Therefore, I would like to know about it. ”
After Ma Jixiang read out the holy decree, someone immediately gave him a plate of gold and silver.
When Ma Jixiang saw it, he said, "I dare not take it!" ”
Wu Sangui said: "Some small things, why do you push them back?" It's not enough to repay the thanks, talk about the heart. If the work is done, it should be rewarded. ”
Ma Jixiang pretended to excuse himself after a few times and accepted it.
Wu Sangui hurriedly took his hand and entered the city.
Wu Mansion, Wu Sangui invited Ma Jixiang to sit in the center, and he himself accompanied him.
The upper and lower halls are all ranked, and a feast is set up, and the lamps are taken in turn.
In front of the hall, the big blow is the sea of Roshan wine.
All the days were drunk, and everyone went back to rest in the curtain.
The next day, Wu Sangui had another feast, and they talked about the old and the new, and talked about the bosom of his life.
On the third day, they will arrange the table again, and at dusk, they will be drunk and dispersed, and each will rest in peace.
After staying in Chongqing for a few days, Ma Jixiang saw that if he didn't go back, he might scold Yongli, so he arranged for the carriage and horses to prepare for the return trip.
On the day of leaving, Wu Sangui personally held a plate of gold beads, went to Ma Jixiang's carriage, and then worshipped.
Ma Jixiang pretended to excuse a few times before accepting it, and put it in the suitcase.
Watching Ma Jixiang's carriage go away, Wu Sangui and the others returned to the city.
On the field of the military academy, Wu Sangui made people beat drums and gather the crowd.
Soon the big and small leaders came and ran to the point to sit down, and many military schools went to the barracks.
Wu Sangui inspected his subordinates and said, "Brothers are here! It has been decades since he was appointed as the governor of Liaodong. Today, I am glad that the court is recruiting and seeing the face of the light of day again. Sooner or later, I will go to Australia to lay down the world, open up territory for the Ming Dynasty, and share the blessings of peace. Now you will wait for the people, but you will have the things of the treasury, and they will be used in the treasury. The rest of the proceeds shall be divided equally. With righteousness and righteousness, with benevolence, there is no dispute. We, now the Son of Heaven has issued an edict of mercy, forgiveness of sins and peace, and all people, big and small, have been released. I will go to Australia sooner or later, and I will not lose the grace of King Qin. There are also those who come to the grass on their own, those who go up the mountain with the crowd, those who fall into the army, and those who are taken captive. This time, we waited for the recruitment and went to Australia. Wait for him to go as you wish, and go out by number. If you don't want to go, sign up here, and I'll send you down the mountain and let your physiology follow. ”
Wu Sangui's order has been stopped, and Li Benshen has been named.
The order was given, and each of the three armies went to discuss. There are also 35,000 people who resigned at the moment. Wu Sangui gave money and goods away. Those who are willing to go with them to serve as officers will be counted as officials. (To be continued.) )
