When the dawn had just shone from the clouds and dust, Wu Sangui had already woken up.

The long winter in western Liaoning is not over yet, and that little bit of spring is still wrapped in ice and snow, and there is only a little bit of grass green, revealing the rapid end of winter.

In Quang Ninh City, it has been more lively these days, and there are a lot of guests.

These guests had been invited by Wu Sangui, and they had come from the northern grasslands to attend the meeting, and this morning, they would be in the city to discuss an important matter.

In the past, these people were his enemies, and when they encountered them on the battlefield, they had to fight to the death. And now, they have become his guests.

But Wu Sangui didn't have a choice, all of this was forced by Liu Junye to this role.

Wu Sangui wanted to be a loyal minister, but Daming didn't want him to be a loyal minister. He wanted to be a filial son, but his father didn't want him to be a filial son.

In this long winter, the imperial court did not send a grain of grain and a silver dollar to Liaoxi, 100,000 horses, and they survived by hunting and fishing, and he didn't know how he persevered.

But he can't go on like this, the soldiers are very thin, the horses are not good, and the weapons and armor need to be replenished. If this continues, it will not take more than three months for his 100,000 men and horses to be scattered, and then what will he use to lead these soldiers and horses?

The winner is king, and the loser is the loser, and there is a voice that has been reminding him in his heart recently. He is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but the current Ming Dynasty is not the original Ming Dynasty, and the current Ming Dynasty has been stolen by Liu Jiye.

He is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, he wants to rescue the Ming Dynasty, and he looks forward to one day. He can wear shiny armor, carry a sword and a sword, and straddle a BMW. With his army, he entered the Guannai, attacked Beijing, and rescued the Ming Dynasty from Liu Jiye, a usurper.

At that time, he will become a hero of the world.

Liu Jiye is also just a martial artist, but he now holds the world. What he can do, we can do too, my uncle and grandfather said to him several times. Ultimately. This is the success and defeat of the king, if they can win against Liu Jiye, then they are the heroes of the Ming Dynasty. It is possible to be a marquis and a king of Jin, or even a servant of power.

"We have an army of 100,000 and we are not afraid of anyone!" Zu Dashou said. He reminded his nephew. "The winner is the king and the loser is Kou, when you defeat Liu Jiye, you are a hero, he will only be a traitor."

However, Wu Sangui knew very well that he could not defeat Liu Jiye with only the 100,000 army mentioned by his uncle. They can't even eat enough now, how can they fight Liu Jiye. His brother Wu Sanfeng made a suggestion to him, a suggestion that made him hesitate for a winter.

"Borrow troops from the Qing State. Then he raised the slogan of the Qing monarch to punish the traitorous ministers, and waved his army into the customs. Kill Liu Jiye and replace him. At that time, Wu Sanfeng said to him, "We can make an agreement with the Qing State, and after the matter is completed, all the land outside the customs will be assigned to the Qing State." ”

Such a condition is a very tempting condition, at least now, after thinking about it for a long time, the Manchu Qing finally sent someone here. The person sent by the Qing State was Prince Su Haoge, one of the four auxiliary kings of the Qing State, and the banner owner of the Zhenglan Banner. He braved the cold wind, not to chat with his former enemies.

In fact, Wu Sangui got detailed information that Haoge did not come alone, a few days ago, Haoge came all the way from Shengjing with a force of 30,000 people. This army was mainly the soldiers and horses of the Zhenglan Banner, and some soldiers and horses of the Two Yellow Banners, as well as many soldiers from the Haixi tribes and Mongol tribes, plus their clothed minions, formed an army of 30,000 men.

Now, these 30,000 people are stationed in Liaoyang City on the east bank of the Liao River, and Hao Ge crossed the Liao River with his own guard camp. The commander of the Qing army on the Liao River, Jilharang, welcomed Hauge, and after spending several days in the castle of Jilharang, Hauge came to the city of Quang Ninh with only 200 men.

"Haoge personally came to Quang Ninh City, and he only brought two hundred guards, which is great sincerity." Zu Dashou said to him, "It seems that the Qing people like our plan very much. ”

Wu Sangui looked up at the gloomy sky, he knew that this was a crucial step, this step out, he would have no room to retreat, and he could only go dark on this road from now on.

After a while, Wu Sanfeng walked in with a smile on his face.

"The guests have arrived, drinking tea in the front hall."

Wu Sangui knew that it was time for a final decision. When this moment really came, he suddenly realized that the choice was not difficult. He didn't hesitate too much, raised his head, and said very calmly, "Let's go, don't make our guests wait for a long time." ”

Wu Sangui deliberately put on the big red python robe that Chongzhen once gave him, tied a jade belt, and put on a black gauze hat.

"Isn't it okay to see a guest wearing this suit?" Wu Sanfeng asked.

"I just want to wear this set, we want to borrow the Qing soldiers to clear the king's side, not to surrender the Qing." When he said this, he was particularly aggravated.

Wu Sangui walked in the front, next to his uncle Zu Dashou and brother Wu Sanfeng. They made their way from the backyard to the antechamber, where several large men sat and each of them had two sturdy samurai standing beside them.

None of them had the slightest intention of hiding their identity, each of them was dressed in cotton armor, with a money rat tail dragging under the hat on their heads.

"Ladies and gentlemen, forgive Wu for being late, forgive your sins."

Several big men sitting and drinking tea all cast their eyes when he appeared.

At this time, one of them stood up first.

"Father, cousin."

Wu Sangui's eyes fell on him, and only then did he realize that this person who was dressed like a Manchurian, even his forehead was shaved, and he also dragged a money rat tail on the back of his head, was actually his cousin Zu Zerun, whom he hadn't seen for many years.

Then, he found that there were several familiar figures behind Zu Zerun, Zu Zeqing and Zu Kefa and other Zu clan disciples. These are the children of the ancestral clan who descended to the Qing Dynasty with the ancestor Dashou after the Battle of Dalinghe in the Great Year. However, later Zu Dashou proposed to return to Jinzhou to persuade the Qing army to surrender to Jinzhou on the grounds that his wife was in Jinzhou, but as soon as Zu Dashou ran back to Jinzhou, he ignored the Qing people.

Although Zu Dashou was treacherous, the Qing people did not take his son who remained in the Qing camp

How about the brothers, on the contrary, they trust these people and grant important positions.

Now Zu Dashou's eldest son Zu Zerun is the Gushan Ezhen of the Zhenghuang Banner in the Eight Banners of the Qing Army, and he is still a first-class earl, and the rest of the Zu's children in the Qing Dynasty are also appointed as Meler Zhangjing, conferring son, male and other titles.

This time, Hauge came and brought all the children of the Zu family.

"Let me introduce to you, this is my Qing Dynasty Auxiliary Government and Prince Shuosu, the owner of the Blue Banner."

Wu Sangui took a step forward, "The Ming and Qing dynasties are brothers' countries, and now I am the master of the Ming Dynasty, the traitorous ministers steal power and seize power, and the Qing Dynasty is the state of the Ming brothers, at this time, I can come to discuss the major matter of the Qing monarch's side killing the traitors, Sangui is grateful, please Prince Su first accept the next worship!" ”

After speaking, Wu Sangui bowed down and saluted Hauge.

Hauge got up and turned sideways to give way to this bow, his face was kind, "Since the Ming and Qing dynasties are brothers' states, then I will naturally contribute to the Qing Dynasty at this time." ”

At the beginning, Wu Sangui's secret envoy arrived in Shengjing and handed over Wu Sangui's secret letter of borrowing troops, which once made Shengjing Qingyan controversial. Many people think that this is Wu Sangui's trick, and some people believe that this thing is true, but Wu Sangui deliberately provoked a side provocation before, so the Qing people did not have a good impression of him.

Daishan, in particular, opposed sending troops at this time.

Eventually, however, Dorgon moved Hauge and saw this as a great opportunity to reverse the Qing dynasty's unfavorable situation. Taking advantage of this opportunity, in the name of supporting Wu Sangui and Qingjun, he lent troops to Wu Sangui and let the Southern Dynasties fight in the civil war. It is better to pick this civil war as big as possible, if you can unite those who oppose Liu Jiye in the Southern Dynasty, then the Southern Dynasty may fall into an endless civil war.

Hauge thought twice and agreed to the plan of borrowing Wu Sangui to intervene in the civil war of the Ming Dynasty.

Immediately afterwards, Dolgon proposed to let Hauge lead the Qing army into the war, and gave him the post of general to fully command the army of the Western Expedition. Although Hauge knew that Dorgon's move intended to squeeze him out of the center of the Shengjing court, he was already ostracized by Dolgon and Daishan in Shengjing, and he also intended to leave Beijing at this time.

If the war is fought well, he can take the opportunity of the fighter to expand his strength.

In the end, they reached an agreement, and Hauge brought the soldiers and horses of the blue flag, and transferred a lot of soldiers and horses with two yellow flags, plus other tribal soldiers and Han soldiers, and finally gathered 30,000 horses and horses.

Wu Sangui asked a little impatiently, "I don't know if the prince came to bring an official reply from the Qing Dynasty?" ”

"Of course, after our careful deliberations, we finally agreed that since the two countries are fraternal states, Your Majesty and Your Majesty of the Southern Dynasty are also called brothers. In this case, at present, the Southern Dynasty is being stolen by the traitor Liu Jiye and oppresses the young master, how can we turn a blind eye to it? Fortunately, Daming has a loyal minister like Wu Shuai, who can raise the banner of rebellion at this critical time. As the saying goes, Bandang sees loyal ministers, and the wind knows the strength of the grass, and we admire Wu Shuai's loyalty very much. This time, the king has led 30,000 soldiers and horses, and they are all willing to fully support Wu Shuai to return to Beijing for the sake of the righteousness of the two countries. ”

"Great, thank you Daqing, thank you prince. After the matter is completed in the future, Wu will definitely guarantee that the Ming Dynasty will give the land outside the customs to the Qing Dynasty as a reward. ”

"Then let's discuss the specifics of the crusade war!"

Wu Sangui didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and he was in a good mood. He said excitedly, "I have an army of 100,000. ”

"I brought 30,000 horses, and Prince Zheng still has 30,000 soldiers and horses, so we can draw 50,000 Eight Banners to join the crusade army." Hauge said.

"The 150,000 coalition troops, the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Eight Banners Force, are enough to go straight into the Guannei and sweep through the Guannei."

"Our coalition is called the rebel coalition army, and the banner is to eliminate traitors on the side of the Qing monarch, and kill Liu Jun with the protection of the young!"

"On the side of the Qing Jun, get rid of the traitors, protect the young master, and kill Liu Jun!" (To be continued.) )
