Chapter 657: Bashu Goes to War
Wu Sangui, who has been waiting for the opportunity, saw that the situation had changed greatly, and he also started to act with full strength, this guy's Guanning army was less than 10,000 people when it entered the Central Plains, and with the Manchu Qing Dynasty's war on the Central Plains, more and more troops were constantly recruited, and the Guanning army naturally expanded a lot.
Today's Guanning Army is no longer completely composed of Liaodong people, and the Guanning Army also includes many Ming troops who surrendered.
Wu Sangui took the opportunity of entering the Central Plains to expand the size of the Guanning army to 50,000 people, so in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he also belonged to a large number of warlords, who could control more than 50,000 troops and had combat effectiveness.
It is precisely because Wu Sangui's ambition is too big that Dolgon sees the inner thoughts of this guy who will be opposed in the future, so he has always been on guard against him, and he can't let him be like this all the time, and he has tried to take the opportunity to cut his military power many times, but he has to give up because of various coincidences.
If there was no southern expedition to attack Liangguang, many Ergon would not hesitate to cut the military power, but now it is different, the war in Liangguang has fallen into an embarrassing situation, Azig's troops may not be able to solve the Australia-Guangzhou coalition army, and in addition to Haoge's main force was pinned down in Quanzhou.
From these two aspects, it is not a wise move to take Wu Sangui's military power at this time, and once Wu Sangui feels abnormal and disobeys orders at this time, it will be a greater blow to the Qing Dynasty.
The Qing Dynasty seems to be extremely powerful, but in fact, the internal weakness of Dolgon is clear, in addition to the small number of soldiers, it is also to control such a large territory, and the tribes of the Mongolian steppe are not so easy to get along with, which poses a great threat to them.
Although the relationship between Manchu and Mongolia was stabilized through Manchu and Mongolian marriages and a strong alliance was formed, the Mongols were ambitious. Dolgon still knows, just take the one in the palace, his ambition is not small, and he has always had close contacts with Daishan.
What she wanted, in fact, Dorgon knew, she wanted her son to be the true emperor. It's ridiculous not to be at the mercy of the regent himself, even if he gives up, I'm afraid that the little emperor may not be able to take charge of political affairs personally, and that woman's ambition must be to listen to the government.
So at this time, Wu Sangui couldn't move, and if he moved, he would fall into a passive complicated situation, of course, Wu Sangui was still honest and didn't blatantly rebel.
Let this guy attack Bashu, but this guy has been holding off, which is obviously waiting for the opportunity. Wait for the right time, you can guess what this guy wants to do.
If he enters Bashu and does not leave, he is asking for the title of King of Pingxi, and the Qing Dynasty will not be able to deal with it at all, the most important thing is that once this Bashu is controlled, his strength will increase even more. There is also the possibility of even greater development.
Is this something that Dorgon sees deeply, and at the same time he doesn't want to see. After all, once Wu Sangui rebelled, it would not be a good thing for the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty could not afford the rebellion of such a heavyweight.
In order to appease Wu Sangui, Dolgon has always been a gift from money beauties, just hoping that this guy has a little conscience in his heart and will not rebel at this time. As long as this period of time passes, when the Qing Dynasty solves Liangguang and Quanzhou, then there will be hands free to deal with Wu Sangui, and when the time comes, you can deal with this guy as much as you want.
Judging from the latest battle report sent back by Azig, the Australians are ready to break through from Shaoguan. As for where to enter after the breakout, there is no clear information yet, so the troops here cannot be reduced, and this place must be guarded, otherwise it is difficult to say what will happen.
The combat effectiveness of the Australians Azig has already been taught once, and they have directly lost hundreds of elite Eight Banners, if they come a few times, I am afraid that the elite troops in their hands will be lost, so they can't start a war blindly, they must be cautious.
The troops of Liangguang can not be mobilized, and the troops of Haoge cannot be mobilized, and the two main forces are contained, but this is a big opportunity for Wu Sangui, who is stationed in Hubei, as long as he grasps it well, he does not seek to soar, but it is absolute. ‘
Wu Sangui is now crowned king, and there are only two biggest temptations for him, one is the country, and the other is a beautiful woman.
The former is more difficult to obtain, but the latter can be realistically obtained, after all, the army can meet beautiful women wherever they go.
This Bashu is said to have produced beauties since ancient times, and entering Bashu will inevitably get a lot of beauties. It's just that beauty is secondary, and what I really want is the territory of Bashu.
Without territorial development, even if you have more troops, it is useless, and it goes without saying the expenses required to raise such a huge army, and naturally you also need money, after all, Wu Sangui does not have much money.
So after knowing that it was impossible for the two main forces in Jiangnan to pick up fruits in his rear, he was very happy, which meant that there was no threat to his rear, as long as he went all out to take Bashu, he could immediately make an offer to the imperial court, and the imperial court had to pay a greater price if he wanted to serve himself, and of course, he had to get greater capital at the same time.
In fact, Wu Sangui has always been very envious of the Mu family guarding the frontier, and he has received the emperor's grace, no matter who comes to power, he will not easily be the king of the opposite sex.
This king of the opposite sex had a good relationship with the emperor before, but so far he has not seen these guys come out to speak and support which side.
Therefore, strength is the most important, and only with strength can you play, this is Wu Sangui's life understanding, only in the face of absolute power, others will give you enough benefits.
At the beginning, Dolgon gave us the benefit of himself, but he took a fancy to himself guarding the Shanhaiguan, if he hadn't guarded here, it is estimated that he would have been kicked by this guy to an unknown place.
Now that he has no territory, only so many people under his hands, Dolgon naturally has a somewhat different attitude towards himself, and it is a very sad thing for a general with tens of thousands of people to be in an undetermined territory.
It's hard to get supplies without a territory, so you have to find a place to resupply, or you'll die at the hands of those people sooner or later.
Wu Sangui has already figured it out, as long as he wins Bashu, he will have enough capital, and if the capital is large, it will naturally increase with interests, which is complementary.
So at this time, no matter what, you must take Bashu.
Zhang Xianzhong, this guy is precisely because he occupies Bashu, so he has always been valued, if it weren't for the fact that not many people here know him, Wu Sangui has already thought of a brilliant idea of how to control the Bashu cabinet in his own hands.
