The Admiral was so much higher than the total army, especially Wu Sangui let him control the Hubei Green Battalion, but it suddenly made the soldiers and horses under Fang Xiaoyu's nominal control skyrocket several times. At the same time, his status suddenly soared to the level of several generals under Wu Sangui.

Now Wu Sangui controls several provinces, the governor of each province is Wu Sangui's henchman, Yunnan is Wu Sangui's lair, there are only a few general soldiers, but there is no commander, like Shaanxi, Guizhou, Sichuan, these provinces that were taken by Wu Sangui, the most powerful is naturally the governor of each province.

Although it is said that the land of Hubei has not been completely taken, and most of it is still in the hands of the Qing court, even so, Fang Xiaoyu has also ascended to the sky in one step and has become one of the few powerful people under Wu Sangui.

Fang Xiaoyu made a look of gratitude, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you to the prince for your humble position, only to fight to the death to repay the prince's kindness." ”

With a violent cough, Wu Sangui couldn't suppress the injury anymore, blood spurted out of his mouth, and his body fainted.

There was chaos in the mansion, since this day, Wu Sangui was lingering and sickbed, and his energy was not as good as before, but in the face of the counterattack of the Qing court, Wu Sangui had to hand over more power to a few of his henchmen.

In this way, the power held by Fang Xiaoyu and the others is naturally getting bigger and bigger, and at this time, Fang Xiaoyu is beginning to gather the green camp people in Hubei, as the place where the two sides are fighting, Hubei has gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses on both sides, Fang Xiaoyu nominally commands the soldiers and horses in Hubei, but what can really be mastered for him is actually the army that is free from Li Benshen and other old people.

However, Fang Xiaoyu did not dislike these green camps, and gathered them one by one, and the number of men and horses under his command quickly skyrocketed to as many as 50,000, which was only less than the number of men and horses controlled by several major admirals.

Wu Yingxiong has been in a gloomy mood since he was castrated by Wei Xiaobao and Jianning, and he was hollowed out before, so he didn't die for too long, but fortunately, Wu Yingxiong had an heir, but he didn't let the Wu family cut off the incense.

Now that Wu Sangui is seriously injured, as Wu Sangui's grandson, Wu Shifan was naturally pushed out to become the representative of the Wu army.

It's a pity that Wu Shifan has no prestige in the army at all, fortunately, he has the support of Fang Xiaoyu, a general in the army, as for those veterans, no one is satisfied except Wu Sangui, and now Wu Sangui can't afford to be sick, but how can Wu Shifan suppress these veterans.

Therefore, Wu Shifan relied more and more on Fang Xiaoyu.

A few months later, Wu Shifan, with the support of Fang Xiaoyu, beheaded the veteran general Wang * Fuchen, and was stunned to take the military power of Shaanxi into his hands.

However, it was precisely because of Wu Shifan's move of killing the veteran that Ma Bao and other veterans suddenly had a sense of crisis, but fortunately, Ma Bao and the others supported Wu Shifan because they had been following Wu Sangui and did not serve in other provinces.

However, a few veterans like Li Benshen who held the military and political power of a province did not deal with it so much, and they became wary of Wu Shifan one by one, lest they fall into the fate of Wang * auxiliary ministers.

As the target of being selected to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, Wang * Fuchen died very unjustly, but politics is like this, even Wu Sangui, who was preparing to ascend the throne as emperor, did not stop Wu Shifan's actions, obviously acquiesced in Wu Shifan's actions to suppress the old ministers under his command.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Wu Sangui knew that his life was short, since this was the case, if their Wu family wanted to inherit the world, they must let Wu Shifan remain strong, so it was reasonable to suppress Li Benshen and these old ministers.

Fang Xiaoyu, as a general of the new generation, was naturally selected by Wu Sangui to be a trusted minister, and after three months of hard work, he was promoted again and again, and Fang Xiaoyu's power even surpassed those old ministers who had followed Wu Sangui for decades.

The most obvious thing is that the land of Shaanxi that was originally occupied by the king's auxiliary ministers completely fell into the hands of Fang Xiaoyu, in addition, Fang Xiaoyu's soldiers and horses jumped to 100,000 people, which is still not those auxiliary soldiers, but real combatable soldiers.

At this point, Fang Xiaoyu has almost controlled the Wu family's thirty percent of the military horses, and as for the rest scattered in the hands of more than ten generals, unless most of the dozen generals are united, they are absolutely powerless to fight against Fang Xiaoyu.

Wu Sangui, who rebelled all his life for the emperor's throne, finally chose to ascend the throne as the emperor before his death, with the country name Da Zhou, the capital Hengyang, and the Yuan Zhaowu.

However, Wu Sangui's ascension to the throne also came to the end of his life, just a month later, Wu Sangui died of illness on the sickbed, and Wu Shifan ascended to the throne with the support of Fang Xiaoyu.

Wu Shifan's ascension to the throne relied more on Fang Xiaoyu, and the other party's filial piety was rewarded, especially the generals under Fang Xiaoyu's command were all added to the ranks, but they suppressed those veterans.

If it weren't for the pressure of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's strong enemies, Wu Shifan's move would definitely provoke a crazy counterattack from these veterans.

Fang Xiaoyu used his means to control Wu Shifan in just one year and control the Great Zhou court in his hands.

At the same time, Wei Xiaobao, who learned that Fang Xiaoyu was thriving in the Great Zhou Dynasty and had become the most powerful figure, was obviously greatly stimulated.

Wei Xiaobao, as the supervising army, represents Kangxi, and he is Kangxi's henchman, so at Wei Xiaobao's request, the Qing army frantically attacked the Great Zhou army regardless of casualties.

And Wei Xiaobao personally went into battle to assassinate the generals of the Great Zhou, Li Benshen died on the battlefield, and Hu Guozhu and Wu Yingqi were assassinated by Wei Xiaobao one by one.

Originally, if Fang Xiaoyu was willing, he could stop Wei Xiaobao whether it was Hu Yizhi or Long'er, or he could go out on his own.

But Fang Xiaoyu didn't do that, but with the help of Wu Shifan, he issued a series of wills to send a veteran who refused to accept his co-optation to the battlefield, and eradicated them one by one with Wei Xiaobao's hands.

Of course, Fang Xiaoyu also had a miscalculation, that is, Feng Xifan, who thought that with Feng Xifan's personality, he would definitely choose to belong to himself, but Feng Xifan actually chose to assassinate Wu Shifan as a battle to join the Qing army.

Wu Shifan was seriously injured and almost wanted to die, but fortunately he was rescued in time and hung his life, otherwise it would definitely ruin Fang Xiaoyu's plan.

At least at the moment, Xiaoyu still needs the banner of the Wu family to integrate and control the forces of his subordinates, and give him another half a year, even if Fang Xiaoyu raises the banner and stands on his own, no one will object.

Feng Xifan's defection caused a lot of trouble to Fang Xiaoyu, especially Feng Xifan's evil mind and the scheming Wei Xiaobao got together, the two can be said to have a similar smell, and they fought hotly for a while, and together they brought a bloody storm to the generals of the Great Zhou.

In the autumn of the second year of Zhaowu, Wu Shifan was seriously injured and died, collapsed on the sickbed, because there were no heirs, and the rest of the Wu clan did not serve the people, so the emperor was vacant, Fang Xiaoyu proclaimed himself the king of Yunnan, led the people of Yunnan, Guizhou and Shaanxi provinces, surrendered Ma Bao, and subdued the land of Sichuan, and the power reached its peak in one fell swoop, almost receiving seventy percent of the power of the Wu family.
