After Huguang put down the rebellion, Jiangnan's voice fell silent a lot.

The two tax cases are promoted in accordance with lì.

Xu Yiyang did not return to Nanjing, and his new official position was that of the tax collector of Huguang. This is just a temporary errand, and Zhai Zhe's real purpose is to use the reputation he has established in Changsha to let the two taxes be carried out.

From the beginning of the year to May, there was no progress in the fighting under the city of Xiangyang.

Although Hong Chengchou was able to get supplies from Jiangbei, the army had been besieged for half a year, and the soldiers and people in the city were a little impetuous.

Wu Sangui garrisoned under Nanyang City and had not come to the riverside to inspect for a long time.

In the past few months, Wu Sangui's heart has been tormented.

The Qing court was already tired, and since last month, it has begun to pay its salaries.

Last year, there was a war in Shanxi, a war in Yangzhou, and Shaanxi and Henan were too busy to take care of their own grain, and now it is the spring famine season, and I heard that the rice in Beijing has risen to five or six taels of silver and one stone. This was the first year, and Dolgon had only two options, kill or retake Jiangnan. However, he heard that the Ming Dynasty had launched an offensive in Yangzhou Mansion, and it was obvious that he still had some strength left.

Three days ago, more than a dozen family members who stayed in Sichuan came to the Nanyang barracks, and what they brought back was not good news

The battle situation will not change for the time being, what he is worried about is that the time drags on, and the Ming Court may not give him such superior conditions again.

Hurried footsteps could be heard outside the door.

The commander of the scout battalion came to say: "Lord Wang, there is a caravan outside the barracks asking to see you"

"Again?" Wu Sangui retracted his thoughts. This is the third time Zhang Huan has come to Nanyang City.

"Bring them in"

"Obedience"

The caravan's trucks were dragged into the barracks, loaded with grain, and this was already the most lucrative smuggling business in the north and south of the Yangtze River.

Zhang Huan was brought into the big tent of the Chinese army. In ancient times, there were three visits to the thatched house, and now he is the third Wu Sangui.

It is really dangerous to shuttle between the north and south of the river with a holy decree, and in his opinion, it is very embarrassing.

Walking into the big tent, an empty chair was placed in front of me. His status here is getting higher and higher, indicating that the balance in Wu Sangui's heart is gradually tilting.

"Zhang Envoy is unharmed"

"The prince has always been good"

Hypocrisy is necessary etiquette.

Zhang Huan said with a smile, "The prince will take this holy decree, you and I will be ministers in the same palace, and I will be exempted from the pain of running around" The most difficult thing for the envoy is to maintain his dignity, and he has already passed the most difficult days.

Wu Sangui was silent.

Zhang Huan continued: "The prince is well-informed, and he should know that Dolgon is ready to cut off the prince's back road

Zhang Huan's words surprised Wu Sangui, it turned out that they could also get the news of Beijing City so quickly?

Sichuan was the most stable grain producing place for the Qing court, and in order to ensure that the taxes paid from Sichuan could be transported to Beijing, Dolgon was ready to order the Eight Banners to enter Sichuan. The Qing court was discussing which banner to enter the Sichuan, and he bribed the courtiers with a lot of money to get the news.

Wu Sangui laughed at himself: "King Jin really cares about it."

"As long as the prince returns to Sichuan, the Sichuan land will be guarded by the prince's era, but I am afraid that the prince will hesitate for a few more days, and the opportunity will slip through his fingers" Zhang Huan arched his hand towards Wu Sangui, and said: "Before leaving this time, the imperial court has already made a decision, if the full army enters Sichuan, I don't need to come to Nanyang again"

With the loss of Sichuan, Wu Sangui had no capital to negotiate, and since then he has become a marionette of Dolgon.

Wu Sangui pondered for a moment and said, "Seven days later, I will give Zhang Envoy a reply."

"Okay, I'll wait for the prince in Henan for seven days"

The caravan walked out of the barracks and headed east, Zhang Huan sat on the empty truck, his mood was very relaxed, and Wu Sangui's expression today made him see hope. Dolgon's want to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle, which will make Wu Sangui lose a little sense of security.

To the east of Nanyang is Ruyang Mansion, which is connected to Nanzhili Luzhou Mansion and Anqing Mansion, which is one of the strongholds of the Ming army in Jiangbei. Yao Qisheng did not leak any of the operations there, and there was no need for the imperial court to send troops to defend it, and he continuously thwarted the harassment of the Qing court.

Ruzhou Mansion is full of thieves, where the Qing court and the Ming Dynasty are at the junction, there are endless bandits and robbers, and there are Ji Hong's Zhao Yucheng's figure hidden in it. Of course, the main reason was that the Qing court lacked food, so it could only be more brutally looted from the Han people.

Three days passed in a flash.

The caravan was then loaded with grain and headed for Nanyang Province.

There were still 100 miles away from Nanyang, and a team of cavalry was on the side of the road to answer, Zhang Huan was overjoyed, knowing that it would be done.

When the news of Beijing City reached Nanyang, Dolgon was ready to enter the Sichuan with the blue flag, and Wu Sangui made up his mind.

Without waiting to see Wu Sangui, Zhang Huan took out the holy decree from the mezzanine of the truck and walked into Wu Sangui's big tent with his family.

Wu Sangui retreated left and right, and there were only two people left in the tent.

"Zhang envoy, this Wang Yue accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty and returned to Sichuan"

Zhang Huan was overjoyed and said: "Since this is the case, it is better to help Daming take Xiangyang"

An expected reaction.

Wu Sangui shook his head firmly: "Dolgon has sent the Zhenglan Banner from Beijing to Sichuan, if I help the imperial court take Xiangyang, I am afraid that Shu will be lost."

Zhang Huan still didn't know what he meant, and said: "Take Xiangyang, the strength of the Qing court will be greatly damaged, and the defeat will appear." Otherwise, after learning that the prince returned to Sichuan, Hong Chengchou would definitely give up Xiangyang, and the Central Plains had strong troops, but I was afraid that there would be a hard battle."

"That's right," Wu Sangui almost blurted out.

He made up his mind to return to Sichuan, not to end the war between the north and the south.

Although Shu is small and rich in products, he promised to be the king of Zhenxi of the Ming Dynasty, but he was not willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Zhilong occupies Fujian and Guangdong, the Great Western Thieves occupy Yunnan and Guizhou, and Guangxi is also a place of secession. If the war of the Ming Dynasty goes smoothly, he will naturally be the king of Zhenxi honestly. If the war between the Qing court and the Ming Dynasty is protracted, and the Fujian, Guangdong and Daxi thieves have another variable, he may still have the opportunity to dominate the world.

King Jin is in the prime of life, and he is a few years younger than King Jin.

Chen Huan retreated and begged for the second, and said: "Then please take advantage of the chaos to take down the Shang Ke Xi rank and sweep away the Qing soldiers under Nanyang City."

Wu Sangui thought for a moment and said: "Shang Kexi is alert, I will do my best" He didn't do anything, he was afraid that he would not be able to explain to Daming, and if he killed Shang Kexi, he could annex his army.

"Okay" Chen Huan was overjoyed and said, "I'll go back and tell you"

He took out the holy decree from his sleeve and said, "The king of Zhenxi receives the decree" This holy decree has already been announced, but Wu Sangui did not accept it at that time.

At this time, there was no incense case, and there was no kneeling and worshipping, Wu Sangui took it with his hand.

The matter has been completed, Zhang Huan can't care about etiquette, and leaves after handing over the holy decree.

Since Jiang Pai's rebellion, the Qing court has both used and defended against the Han generals. After Dolgon made up his mind to let the Zhenglan Banner enter Sichuan, he ordered Shang Kexi to pay attention to Wu Sangui's movements.

In the past few days, the caravan has been dispatched inside and outside the Ruzhou and Wu Sangui barracks, and there have already been scouts and secret agents to inform Shang Kexi.

Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses were the main force under Nanyang City, and Shang Kexi did not dare to move, so he only sent people to monitor outside.

Wu Sangui's scouts had been escorting the caravan out of Nanyang before returning to the barracks, and Shang Kexi became more suspicious after appearing in the dark.
