When Wu Sangui was appointed to guard Yungui, he had a long-term plan: he wanted to take Yungui as his home for generations, and use this vast fertile land as the domain of him and his descendants. He was bent on emulating the Ming Dynasty's Qianguo Gong Mu and being the "Qianguo Gong" of the Qing Dynasty, and always keeping along with the Qing Dynasty. But the Ming Dynasty allowed the Mu family to guard Yungui, so did the Qing Dynasty also allow the Wu family to guard Yungui?

For Wu Sangui, Shishou Yungui is in line with his wishes. With this piece of land, his interests have been satisfied. He hoped that his prince could be passed down from generation to generation, so that the descendants of the Wu family would enjoy wealth and prosperity forever. Therefore, in history, he worked hard in Yunnan, accumulated wealth, cultivated farmland, and built a large palace, and his relatives and generals also built families as a permanent plan.

In the Qing court, the feudal kings were divided into feudal kings and were in charge of military and political affairs, but the land under the leadership of the "three kings" was not a fief. Shunzhi said very clearly in the seal to the prince of Wu Sangui and Jinfeng: "I ascend the great treasure, especially imitate the ancient system, depending on the merits of the ministers, etc., and give the seal, so that the glory and the predecessors, and the heirs of the blessings." ”

This passage generally expresses that since Huang Taiji, the feudal king is fundamentally different from the kind of feudal feudals of previous dynasties. The practice of the Qing Dynasty was only "special imitation of the ancient system" in the name of the feudal king, but in terms of substance, it was different from the sub-feudal system of the previous dynasties. After the Zhou Dynasty, most of the feudal kings had their own territory and enjoyed full power in this territory, which was actually a country within a country.

The so-called feudal king in the Qing Dynasty was the name of the title, with a high status and generous treatment, and it did not have the meaning of feudal domain. Even if the royal family is crowned king, they are not given fiefdoms, they all live in Beijing, and they do not have the right to govern, and only when they hold a certain position in the imperial court, they have a kind of power stipulated by that position.

At the beginning, the three kings of Kong, Geng and Shang were stationed in Liaoyang and Haizhou (now Haicheng, Liaoning), which were garrisons, not fiefdoms. Shunzhi time. This system is still in place, and there is no fundamental change. At that time, it was in a state of conquest with thousands of troops and horses, and there was no domain and no special power regulations, but the treatment was more generous than that outside the customs. When the war slows down. As the large-scale war gradually ended, they had to be redeployed to their respective hometowns outside the Guan.

However, the exhibition made the Qing ruling group realize that in the south, which was completely unfamiliar and had complex political and popular conditions and climatic conditions, it was impossible to win by relying solely on the Manchurian or Mongol Eight Banners. As a result, Shunzhi and Dolgon had no choice but to use the troops of the kings with different surnames again to deal with the remnants of the peasant army and the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Since then, the "Three Kings" have never returned. For the Qing Dynasty to guard the southern frontier beyond the reach of the whip. Fundamentally speaking, this qiē was entirely motivated by the long-term need to unify the whole country and consolidate the Qing regime.

However, whether it is Shunzhi or Kangxi, when granting many privileges to the "Three Kings", they all emphasize that this is a temporary method. Mainly considering that Yunnan-Guizhou, Liangguang, and Fujian have recently opened up, the situation is complicated, and the situation is not stable enough. As a last resort, they tried to use their prestige and military strength to restore and ensure normal social order. Other words. In fact, the Qing Dynasty only gave them garrisons, not feudal domains. That is, the rule of the "three kings" is a kind of military control in a certain way.

All in all, the Qing court did not make this clear meaning. Even if Wu Sangui had this intention, he didn't dare to say it directly. But he has never given up, and he has withdrawn from Yunnan Province, as well as Guizhou, or other places can also be considered. At this time, it was suddenly mentioned by Zhu Yongxing. Piercing the secret of his heart, and counting his blood-stained "great military exploits" for the Qing court, Wu Sangui was immediately shocked into a cold sweat.

Zhu Yongxing stared at Wu Sangui aggressively, and the atmosphere in the hall immediately became tense. Na Song also tightened his face and looked at Wu Sangui's reaction coldly. The guard at the entrance of the hall also turned around and put his hand on the hilt of his sword.

Wu Sangui seemed to be exposed to everyone without any obstruction, and Zhu Yongxing's gaze seemed to be able to penetrate a qiqi, seeing his heart, liver and five organs clearly, and every thought and thought in his heart was undoubtedly understood.

plopped, Wu Sangui knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Highness forgives your sins, forgives your sins, sinners ......"

Zhu Yongxing snorted coldly and said sharply: "Bear the burden of humiliation, joke!" That's to give you face, but you say that you are a lonely king and easy to deceive. The sophistry is delayed, where is the foot injury? Just your tens of thousands of horses, in the eyes of the lonely are just chickens and dogs, which can be destroyed overnight, and they are still relying on their own military strength, rats at both ends, and their hearts can be punished! In order to protect his family and property, he can have half of the credit for his crimes, and today is the regret of yesterday? Lonely thought that you lost money and surrendered to sincerity, and gave the title of king, and its subordinate will be a high-ranking position, and you are grateful, can you be grateful to Dade? ”

With a snap, Zhu Yongxing took the case and reprimanded angrily: "You can be regarded as loyal and conscientious for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, sacrificing the lives and blood of millions of Ming people in exchange for a Qing court crown, obtaining a piece of land, Xitu Yongzhen, and enjoying the blessings of the world." This is your blood food that does not forget the old master, and lives up to the kindness of the emperor? Drinking and weeping and forbearance, not daring to act lightly, this is a deception, but it can deceive the world? ”

"Guilty, guilty......" Wu Sangui's forehead was bloody, but his voice was lower, and he couldn't think of anything to argue, and he couldn't resist again.

Zhu Yongxing was still angry, and sat heavily in the chair, but raised his eyebrows at Na Song and winked.

Today, I see the wrath of the king! Like thunder and thunder, the earthquake is unbearable; It can also ambush millions of corpses and bleed thousands of miles. Na Song was also stunned by Zhu Yongxing's stormy suddenness, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Seeing Zhu Yongxing signaling to him, he hurriedly collected his mind and stepped forward to persuade: "King Han grabbed the ground with his head and stained the bricks with blood, which shows that he really has a heart of remorse and a real intention to atone for his sins." I also ask His Royal Highness to forgive me and save the lives of Guizhou Province from suffering. ”

Of course, Zhu Yongxing didn't mean to kill Wu Sangui, but if he let it go so gently, not only would he not be able to convince Wu Sangui, but he would also make this guy contemptible. If there is contempt, it is difficult to ensure that it will not be repeated in the future. Therefore, with the technique of heavenly questioning, first disturb his mind, then highlight the secret of his heart, and then violently attack his evil, and use the power of thunder to make him both afraid and afraid, and dare not make any more changes.

Seeing that Zhu Yongxing just snorted, but didn't speak, Na Song hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "My subordinates wish to protect King Han is sincere, and if he has any disloyalty in the future, his subordinates are willing to sit down and be punished." ”

With a long sigh, it seemed to be full of helplessness, Zhu Yongxing stretched out his hand to support Na Song. Wen Yan said: "Then the governor doesn't have to be like this, how can Lone receive such a great gift." Alas, since Lone asked the court for a reward for the king of Han, how could he go back on his word? It's just that he sees that his heart is unwilling, and there is still a repetition, so he is a big thunder......"

"My subordinates know that they are wrong! The subordinates are unwilling. Sin deserves death! The subordinates are sincere, and there is no repetition! Wu Sangui saw that it was empty, so he hurriedly kowtowed again and asked for guilt.

Zhu Yongxing pondered for a long time, and sneered: "The general trend of the world has been decided, and those who use their mantis arms as a car are destined to be crushed." If you truly repent, if you don't want to bring disaster to your descendants, don't have delusions. Lone is not a martyr, a Liaodong warlord who uses the blood of the people to fatten up. It caused civil unrest, but could not prevent the Tartars from entering the customs and looting; Lone is not Li Zicheng, he can be deceived by you repeatedly, and finally defeated Shanhaiguan. ”

"My subordinates don't dare to die, don't dare-" Wu Sangui was exposed again, it can be said that he has no skin, no self-confidence, and his voice is like a gnat.

"Over time, we will see people's hearts. Lonely will look at your future appearance. Zhu Yongxing snorted and said angrily: "Get up!" It's also the respect of the prince. What kind of system? ”

"King Han, please get up." Na Song was completely convinced, and secretly congratulated himself that he had gained a firm foothold at a critical time, Wu Sangui was also obedient by Zhu Yongxing, and his spirit was almost collapsed, and those civil officials were a fart. His Royal Highness Min said that he would be crushed to death.

Wu Sangui was lifted up in despair, and felt that his feet were weak, and he was dizzy, like a serious illness.

"Then Governor, please go down with the King of Han to wash and change your clothes." Zhu Yongxing's heart was dark. The voice also softened a lot, "Since you return to the Ming, you should have the prestige of the Ming official, isn't the prince's ceremonial clothes already prepared?" Also, give a command, and the feast will begin in half an hour! ”

"Yes, my subordinates are commanded." Na Song agreed, and helped Wu Sangui, who gave Zhu Yongxing a salute and retired, and went down.

When Zhu Yongxing saw that Na Song and Wu Sangui were gone, he felt that his mouth was dry, and he picked up the tea bowl, regardless of the cold, and drank two sips happily. Then he let out a sigh of relief, this time it scared Wu Sangui enough, and he didn't dare to mention the matter of Guiyang again, right? As long as you keep it by your side, you can't figure it out. And his son-in-law and younger brother in order to save his old life, there will be no more repetition of leading the army outside, right?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yongxing wanted to laugh, but he couldn't help but cough violently.

Half an hour later, the banquet began on time. Xia Guoxiang saw his father-in-law again, although he was dressed in a high-sounding dress, the black blue on his forehead was a little eye-catching. It was inconvenient to ask, so I had to push the cup with everyone with a stomach full of doubts, and pretend to laugh.

The conditions offered by the Ming court were favorable, the Wu officers were replaced according to their original positions, and the soldiers' salaries were also higher than those of the Qing court, which was the same as that of other Ming troops. Those who do not want to serve in the army will be given land and settling-in expenses, and the government will pay for the construction of houses and resettlement. For those who are willing to go to other places, the government documents and travel expenses will also be resettled by the local government in this way.

There is no army that does not claim to be disciplined, does not disturb the people, and shouts out to plunder, burn, and kill. Although the Wu Army was renamed the Dangshuo Army and was under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, the most important thing to ensure military discipline was the placement of the Military Judge Advocate General and the military police.

Xia Guoxiang and others had already heard of the rules of the Ming army, and they had no objection to this. It's just that there are some complaints about the Ming court's request for the Dangshuo army to give soldiers the right to choose freely. The more troops the better, if the Dangshuo army can be fully loaded, there will be fewer opportunities for the Ming army to infiltrate and insert them. But reluctance is unwillingness, but on the surface it agrees happily.

The officials of the General Staff Committee, the Propaganda and Education Department, and the Judge Advocate General's Office all knew that Xia Guoxiang and others were making small calculations, and they were nothing more than not implementing the policy. Now is not the time to be called Zhen'er, if you can't cover it for a while, can the officers and soldiers of the Dangshuo Army be concealed for a lifetime? Besides, the officials of the Department of Missions have been inserted, can they still preach the policy?

As for other treatments, they were no more special than other Ming troops, Wu Sangui gave in, and Xia Guoxiang and others were useless. The family property has been preserved, the family members have been properly settled, there is no shortage of salary or food, and the rest is how to make contributions under the banner of the emperor.

Anyway, Wu Jun has no other choice. This is different from the Ming Court begging and coaxing, Xia Guoxiang and the others really don't have too many bargaining chips to bargain.

"King Han, I heard that you don't forget the past, the Ming Dynasty general Fu Zonglong was your commander, so you took his son to the mansion to support him and treat him like a brother." Zhu Yongxing smiled and raised his glass to Wu Sangui and said, "This is an excellent quality, and I appreciate it." If you look at the soldiers and generals such as the Marquis of Pingbei, you have been with you for many years, because of your righteousness and a good future, you should feel gratified. ”

"The subordinates are ashamed. This is the grace of His Highness. Wu Sangui hurriedly raised his glass to congratulate him, and after drinking a cup, he turned his face to Xia Guoxiang and the others, and said sharply: "If you have returned to the Ming Dynasty, you will no longer be the king's soldiers." Ruoer and the others still feel that the king has treated you well in the past, so he will respect the orders of the court from now on, and there must be no disobedience in the slightest. His Royal Highness has clear rewards and punishments. If you and others violate the law, the law of the country is like a mountain, and it will not be forgiven. If this is the case, it is also your own fault, don't complain about the heavens and others. ”

"Humble ranks, remember the words of the prince, respect the order, be loyal to the Ming, and dare not disobey." Xia Guoxiang expressed his position on behalf of everyone, and he heard Wu Sangui's voice. Knowing that he can only rely on himself in the future, and the appearance of the Dangshuo army also affects the safety of his father-in-law, and as the new brain of the first army, he has a heavy responsibility.

"King Han's golden and jade words, you should keep them in mind." Zhu Yongxing put the wine glass on the table and said: "The rules have changed, the fittest survive, and the unfit are eliminated." The army was formed. It's not as simple as changing the name or flag. The good and the bad were mixed, so he made up his mind to pull out the weed. In the short term. It's a little painful, a little unbearable; But in the long run, it is a guarantee of a smooth future for you. If you are involved for a while, you will be soft-hearted, and I am afraid that you will be involved in the future, causing lifelong regrets! ”

"My subordinates understand." Xia Guoxiang bowed to Zhu Yongxing and said solemnly: "As the commander of an army. The subordinates will fully support and cooperate with the work of the Judge Advocate Advocate General's Office and the Missionary Education Department, and will also respect the planning and construction of the Staff Committee. ”

"You're good to do, and I'm optimistic about you." Zhu Yongxing nodded appreciatively and said, "Someone." Giving the Northern Marquis, swords, military uniforms, and riding boots as a reward. ”

"Your Highness, Your Highness, for your favor." Xia Guoxiang bowed down and was rewarded.

After the banquet was over, Xia Guoxiang and others and the Ming army officials who were placed in the Dangshuo army set off overnight and rushed back to Guiyang to rectify the army.

"Prime Minister of State-" Wu Sangui rushed to see him off, sighing gloomily, "Let's do it, tell the generals, His Royal Highness Min has the unpredictable ability of ghosts and gods, and has the luck of God's blessing, for himself, for his wealth, and for this king, don't have different hearts, don't have any abnormal movements!" ”

"Father-in-law, you-" Xia Guo saw Wu Sangui as if he was more than ten years old, and his ambitions were all gone, and he couldn't help but wonder.

"Don't ask too much, just listen to this king." Wu Sangui's face was sad, and he shook his head gently, "Heaven and earth are all working together, and it is not free to transport heroes!" Providence, luck, and qi are irreversible! Go, go! ”

At the port of Guangzhou, Zhang Huangyan and other civil and military officials welcomed King Lu from the ship and took him into a temporary residence in the city.

King Lu, who was recuperating in Xialong, looked very well in body and had a good complexion, and he spoke with a smile to the civil and military officials who came to greet him, and did not put on a royal prince's shelf.

"His Royal Highness Min is not in Guangzhou, so I will greet Wang Jia and send greetings to His Royal Highness." It turned out that Chen Hongfan of the Ministry of Missions was already a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and after arranging for King Lu and his entourage to settle down, he took out the letter and submitted it.

"Your Highness is busy with military affairs, and he is running around for Zhongxing Daming, so he doesn't have to worry about idlers like Lone." Zhu Yihai took the letter, opened it and read it, and said: "Your Highness is the hope of China and foreign countries, and you must not take the danger lightly. ”

"The prince taught me a lesson." Chen Hongfan smiled a little helplessly and said, "It's just that His Royal Highness insisted on going in person, saying that he wanted to increase the pressure on Wu Sangui and strive to go to Guizhou Province without a fight." ”

Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, frowned, the letter was only a greeting, and explained that he was going out to deal with the military, but did not explain Qianxing and Wu Sangui, and Chen Hongfan obviously did not know, thinking that the letter was clear, so he blurted out.

"Then Wu Sangui is capricious, Your Highness—" Zhu Yihai wanted to speak and stopped, as if he doubted Zhu Yongxing's ability.

"Don't worry, Wu Sangui's son and grandson are all in Guangzhou, he only has this seedling, and he should not be in danger of his children and grandchildren." Zhang Huangyan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, explained in detail: "No matter how much our army has been in place one after another, if Wu Sangui wants to fight, he has no chance of winning. And Wu Sangui is extremely jealous of His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness also wants to suppress people with power and force him to do it. ”

Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, didn't know much about the specific situation, so when he heard this, he didn't continue to ask questions. All the officials have completed their work and have retired, but Zhang Huangyan is the only one who remains.

"Cangshui-" Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, wants to return to his homeland, so he naturally wants to inform Zhu Yongxing, and Zhu Yongxing readily agrees, which is already quite benevolent, and Zhang Huangyan is the old department of King Lu, if he talks to him alone, wouldn't it make people suspect that Zhu Yihai has other intentions when he returns to his homeland.

"Don't doubt it, the king." Zhang Huangyan said with a wry smile: "It is really His Royal Highness Min's instructions to negotiate with the king, and there is one thing that the prince still needs to stay in Guangzhou for more time." ”

"What?" Zhu Yihai asked suspiciously.

Zhang Huangyan sighed and said, "His Royal Highness came to a secret letter the day before yesterday, about the orphans of the Lie Emperor, the matter is very important, and Huang Yan doesn't know how to deal with it?" ”

"What?" Zhu Yihai was excited and surprised, and his voice trembled: "The orphan of the Lie Emperor? That is the fifth prince, and now he is the only one whose whereabouts are unknown. Where are the five princes now, why does Min Fan want you to deal with it? ”

When the people of the world mentioned the martyrdom of the emperor, they all lamented, and even the Manchu Qing claimed to have come to avenge Chongzhen. After breaking through Beijing for Chongzhen's funeral, the Manchus promoted themselves as the benefactors of the Central Plains scholars and avenged their father's revenge. (To be continued!)
