Chapter 184: Wei Xiaobao's Purpose

Wu Sangui was anxious for these henchmen to come, just to do a pre-war mobilization, boost morale, and inspire people's hearts.

All in all, it was Wu Sangui who made empty promises and wantonly promised these henchmen and high-ranking officials, so that these people were excited one by one, and they were all immersed in the bright future described by Wu Sangui and could not extricate themselves.

One by one, they are full of confidence, as if the anti-Qing is just around the corner.

Of course, I don't blame them for their self-confidence, these people do have this capital combined, they are all veterans who have been in a hundred battles and hold heavy troops, and they can't fight a Kangxi who has just been pro-government?

Looking at the excited appearance of everyone, Yang Fan just watched coldly, you must know that the rebellion of the three feudatories in history was finally put down by Kangxi after eight years, and Kangxi became famous.

But now with Yang Fan, the ending is naturally different, Wu Sangui can be defeated, and he will never fail.

……

In 1669, the eighth year of Kangxi, a vigorous rebellion began.

Wu Sangui first killed Zhu Guozhi, the governor of Yunnan, claiming that the world was recruiting generalissimos of soldiers and horses, proposing Xingming to seek capture, and pointing the spearhead at the imperial court.

Wu Sangui's army marched into Hunan from Yun and Gui, occupying almost the whole province of Hunan.

Then they occupied Sichuan, Sichuan officials surrendered one after another, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Shaanxi, Hubei, Henan, and Taiwan's Ming Zheng and other places had Han officials, Han soldiers, and ethnic minority upper-class figures, and peasants and slaves in some areas responded quickly.

Yang Fan also sent 20,000 troops, and followed Wu Sangui to work but did not contribute, but every time he recruited and surrendered the army, Yang Fan was the most active one.

There is no way, his army is too small.

But after a year of war, his army had grown from 20,000 to 50,000.

Coupled with the 80,000 troops left behind in his hometown in Guangxi, Yang Fan already has an army of 130,000.

Of course, it was not only Yang Fan who did this, but all the generals under Wu Sangui were rapidly expanding their strength.

In just one year, the war spread to the entire Qing Dynasty, and most of the Qing Dynasty became Wu Sangui's territory, and Kangxi was caught off guard.

Wu Sangui also saw that Yang Fan was sneaking and slipping, but he didn't care, at this time it was when Wu Sangui was in high spirits, and he was afraid that Yang Fan would not succeed against him?

However, Wu Sangui seems to have been satisfied with the status quo, and began to arrange fortifications along the river in Hunan, and no longer developed north.

In fact, it was not that Wu Sangui didn't want to hit the capital directly, but that he had concerns.

First of all, further north, there are real Eight Banners elites.

At this time, the elite of the Eight Banners was not as corrupt as the later generations, and its combat effectiveness was still very strong.

Secondly, his forces are too scattered, although there is now a rebellion all over the world, and they are all under the banner of Wu Sangui.

However, it was only his own henchmen who really listened to his orders.

Most of the people in other places who disobey him are just some wall grass.

He was afraid that he would fight to the death with Kangxi, and in the end, he would lose both, and finally make a wedding dress for others, so it would not be worth it.

Therefore, Wu Sangui could only stop marching troops, on the one hand, arrange fortifications, and on the other hand, consolidate and digest his current strength, eliminate those small forces that are contrary to the yang and the yin, and further consolidate his political power.

However, he did this, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it, but it also gave Kangxi a chance to breathe.

On the one hand, Kangxi sent heavy troops to confront Wu Sangui, and on the other hand, he sent people to win over those wall grasses, and also promised high-ranking officials to let those people make trouble for Wu Sangui in the back, and Wu Sangui was annoyed every day.

……

Forbidden city......

Kangxi had just gone down to the early court, and when he had just gone to the court, he lost his temper with the ministers.

Now that there is a rebellion all over the country, it is no wonder that he is in a good mood.

"The emperor is angry, and it's not worth it if he's angry."

Wei Xiaobao patted Kangxi on the back on the side to help him calm down.

"Alas, this Wu Sangui is really hateful, he actually rebelled at this time, if he gives me a few years, he will definitely beat him."

Kangxi said with a sigh.

At this time, Kangxi's face was thin, his face was pale, his eyes were red, and there were thick dark circles under his eyes, giving people a feeling of malaise.

"Your Majesty, why don't we send some masters to assassinate Wu Sangui, as long as Wu Sangui dies, his heir is just a few years old, and his group of subordinates are not infighting?"

Wei Xiaobao was on the side to help Kangxi come up with ideas.

"Assassinate Wu Sangui? It's easy to say, that hateful Yang Fan, who trusted him so much, actually rebelled with Wu Sangui, if he hadn't defected, he would have been the best candidate to assassinate Wu Sangui. ”

Kangxi clenched his fists hard and said with a look of resentment.

"But it's not a bad idea, just who to send to assassinate?"

Kangxi thought about it for a while, and felt that this situation could only be like this now, but it was a pity that there were no decent masters around him.

"How's it going?"

Wei Xiaobao gave Kangxi a bad idea.

"Aobai? No, you can't let him out. ”

Kangxi immediately shook his head, Ao Bai must have hated himself.

If he is released, it is estimated that the first person to be killed will be himself.

"Then let Weichen assassinate Wu Sangui in the early stage......"

Wei Xiaobao smiled and said.

"You?"

Kangxi looked at Wei Xiaobao with a puzzled expression.

Doesn't he know Wei Xiaobao yet?

How could this thing that is greedy for life and afraid of death take the initiative to ask for war?

"Yes, the slave knows a few masters, and this matter will be handed over to the minion, and he will definitely help His Majesty do it."

Wei Xiaobao said firmly.

In fact, Wei Xiaobao's purpose was not to assassinate Wu Sangui at all, he wanted to kill Yang Fan.

Through Wei Xiaobao's unremitting efforts and investigation, he finally discovered that it was Yang Fan who abolished himself back then.

Because according to the news of the investigation by the Heaven and Earth Society, Princess Jianning was in Yang Fan's Admiral's Mansion, so Wei Xiaobao knew the whereabouts of Jianning, and he also knew who abolished him back then.

He had already begged his master Chen Jinnan bitterly, and asked the master to lead the masters of the Heaven and Earth Society to help him avenge his hatred, and Chen Jinnan also agreed for Wei Xiaobao's dedication to the Heaven and Earth Society.

"Okay, I'll trust you once, and send you as a prison to accompany the army, and you are not allowed to mess around."

Kangxi looked at Wei Xiaobao's attentive gaze and nodded in agreement, but he still said with a courteous instruction.

You must know that Wei Xiaobao is his confidant, and the power of supervising the army is not small, and he can control the commander-in-chief, in case Wei Xiaobao commands indiscriminately, the consequences are not to be considered!

"The minion must do his best and never mess around."

Wei Xiaobao hurriedly said thankfully.

……

The Wu army held Hunan from the front, and then advanced northward on the east and west flanks.

Looking at Jiangxi in the east and Sichuan and Shaanxi in the west, Wu Sangui has occupied the land of six provinces for a time, which can be described as huge. 166 Reading Network
