No matter what Zhai Zhe's true thoughts were in his heart, for the forces around the Ming Dynasty, after Wu Sangui surrendered anyway, their path to advancement had been blocked by half.

Wu Sangui's sealing of the king of the west was handled by Zhai Zhe, but it was also the consensus reached by the top and bottom of the Nanjing court, and even Emperor Longwu in the deep palace agreed with this approach.

However, the Great Western Army was not recognized by any important minister except Zhai Zhe.

In this era, it is not that you can be respected if you have strength, but that you can be respected only by showing strength, and the Great Western Army has not been given a chance, and it will never have such an opportunity.

Huguang Town sent 500 soldiers to escort the envoy from Yungui into the city of Nanjing. When the delegation entered the border of Nanjing, it was received by Jin Xiaoding with soldiers and horses from Beijing, and the soldiers and horses from Hunan returned to Changsha.

There were about thirty people in the mission, for a rude-looking man with a Shaanxi accent.

The delegation was received by the Ministry of Rites, and Ma Shiying knew that this matter was not easy to handle, so he immediately arranged for the envoy to go to the Jin Palace's mansion to meet Zhai Zhe.

When Wu Sangui entered the city of Nanjing a few months ago, he carried several boatloads of gifts, from the emperor to Jin Xiaoding, the governor of Nanjing. However, this time, the Great Western Army sent only about 30 missions to Nanjing

Of course, Zhai Zhe didn't care about those gifts, but it was a gesture of awe and obedience to the imperial court.

The envoy entered the palace of the king of Jin, was introduced by the guards, and knelt on the ground when he saw Zhai Zhe, and said: "Pan Guofeng, the envoy of Daxi, greets the king of Jin?" ”

Is this deliberately looking for trouble, or does he really not understand the etiquette of the imperial court.

Zhai Zhe asked coldly: "Where is Daxi?" ”

The sentence just now was Sun Kewang's temptation of the Ming Dynasty.

Pan Guofeng was slightly stunned, and when he saw that Zhai Zhe's face was not good, he changed his words and said: "The villain is ordered by Master Sun to visit the prince."

After the Great Western Army entered Yunnan through Guizhou, Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi were divided into four prefectures to govern the army.

After Pan Guofeng was reprimanded, he actually brought out the old name. As soon as he spoke, he immediately came to his senses and quickly explained: "It's Sun Kewang"

Zhai Zhe didn't let go, and asked, "Sun Kewang is a rebel of the Ming Dynasty, why did he send you to Nanjing?" Not only did he not show his enthusiasm for Pan Guofeng, but he seemed to be quite hateful.

Pan Guofeng knelt on the ground, he consulted with Sun Kewang before he came, and boasted that he had found out the position of the imperial court, but he didn't expect King Jin's reaction to be completely different from what he expected.

He looked at the ground and pondered for a moment, and said: "Sun Shuai is a Han Chinese, and he is moved by the prince's anti-shaving order, and is willing to serve the court and serve the king of Jin."

All the pretexts are just paving the way for the two sides to enter substantive negotiations, and the truth does not matter, but at this time, the attitude of the expression has actually reflected the position of both sides.

Zhai Zhe felt very bad.

Pan Guofeng's words made him feel Sun Kewang's arrogance.

"Get up and speak"

Pan Guofeng stood up.

Zhai Zhe said: "Sun Kewang really wants to serve the imperial court, I can make way for him to lead the army north, if he is making meritorious contributions to the war against the Qing captives, I can write to the court to exempt him from his crimes."

Pan Guofeng's mouth opened wide, and all the prepared statements were gagged in his stomach. Yiqiē was too different from what he expected, and the king of Jin did not seem to be enthusiastic about the submission of the Great Western Army. Are the people in the Loyalty Camp playing tricks? Did King Jin marry Lady Gao's niece?

He said cheekily: "Sun Shuai is willing to return to the imperial court, but there are a few unruly people in the Great Western Army who are disrespectful to the imperial court, so they want to ask the imperial court for a reward to appease people's hearts."

Zhai Zhe seemed to have a smile on his face, and said; "If you haven't made an inch, you will ask for a reward, but I'm afraid it's not suitable."

It has been made clear that this trip to Nanjing is for nothing, and Pan Guofeng lamented in his heart. It turned out that the court of the Ming Dynasty didn't care about the Great Western Army at all, but it was ridiculous that Sun Shuai still wanted the lion to open his mouth.

When he was in the Tang Dynasty, Zhai Zhe's tone suddenly changed, and he asked, "Say, what official does Sun Kewang want to be crowned?" ”

Pan Guofeng opened his lips and closed them, and finally said in a very weak voice: "Sun Shuai wants to ask for the title of King of Qin."

"What?" Zhai Zhe really didn't hear clearly.

Pan Guofeng was bold and said: "King Qin"

"King Qin?" Zhai Zhe was really surprised, he couldn't imagine how Sun Kewang dared to open this mouth.

He's laughing because it's really funny. He recovered Jiangnan and Huguang, and he had to rely on the assassination case to be crowned the king, which is ridiculous Sun Kewang is arrogant.

"You can go back"

Because there is no longer any need for negotiations between the two sides.

Pan Guofeng gritted his teeth and said: "Sun Shuai said, if the King of Qin can't, ask for the position of King Zhennan" He already felt that it was inappropriate to say the King of Qin, but this was Sun Kewang's order before leaving, he was just a messenger, and he could only act according to Sun Kewang's instructions.

Zhai Zhe shook his head and reprimanded: "Are you the prince of the Ming Dynasty a sheep's head dog meat hanging out of the vegetable market?" ”

"Sun Kewang and the other four were originally rebellious of the Ming Dynasty, and it was a good thing to be able to repent and serve the court, but the meritorious throne of the Ming Dynasty needed to be recaptured on the battlefield. Li Guo besieged Jingzhou twice and killed countless Qing prisoners, but now he is just a Jingzhou general. Sun Kewang can be the largest of the Yunnan general soldiers. ”

Pan Guofeng didn't dare to speak again.

The envoys of the Great Western Army stayed in Nanking for a day and then left, because the Jin king did not allow them to stay here any longer. Jin Xiaoding sent the city guards to forcibly send them out of Nanjing, and they returned to Yunnan by themselves.

It was an unhappy negotiation.

Daming's response was quite crisp and resolute, and Zhai Zhe wanted Sun Kewang to understand the attitude of the Ming court.

The military headquarters immediately issued orders to the guards in Guangxi and Guiyang, ordering the soldiers and horses in various places to strengthen their vigilance and guard against the northward movement of the Great Western Army. Ji Hong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, received a new order, and the spies began to infiltrate Yunnan to investigate the internal elimination of the Great Western Army

Zhai Zhe really didn't want to meet with the Great Western Army, but after weighing the pros and cons, he would rather take this risk than agree to reward Sun Kewang, and neither could the king of the county.

Honors and awards are all derived from military merits, if you are thick on the outside and thin on the inside, not to mention others, the dozen or so commanders of the loyal battalion must have grievances in their hearts.

Ma Shiying was a little disappointed.

It is a long way from Nanjing to Yunnan, and there are thousands of mountains in between. It was not easy for Pan Guofeng to come to the imperial court once, he wanted to inquire about some news before going back, but Jin Xiaoding, the governor of Nanjing, was quite ruthless and did not give him the opportunity to stay in Yingtianfu.

He was nominally ordered to come to Nanjing to pay tribute, but he also assumed the responsibility of checking the reality of the Ming Dynasty.

When he came, he went from Guizhou to Guangxi, then to Huguang, and finally to Nanzhili, and the places he saw along the way became more and more prosperous. The strength of the Ming Dynasty is strong, no longer the weak appearance of the past, in the past few years in the battlefield against the Qing prisoners one after another, the four masters of the Great Western Army trapped in Yunnan, did not dare to act rashly.

However, Sun Kewang was ambitious. Yunnan is too small, the land is barren, and he can't satisfy his **. The only land has to be shared with the other three.

After a year of recuperation, the Great Western Army had only two feasible routes in front of them, one was to return to Sichuan in the north, and the other was to enter Guangxi through Guiyang.
