Chapter 11: Three Thousand Yiding

"Huh, huh!"

"Brother, what do you mean by that?"

"The surname is Wu, you treat the old brother like this."

Tang Tong and Bai Guangen suddenly became anxious: "The two countries have not yet killed the two countries." ”

"Two countries? Phew! Wu Sangui chirped, "The thief also deserves to be compared with my Da Ming?" ”

Tang Daodao: "Eldest brother, those who know the times are Junjie, and it is already the trend of the times for Dashun to replace Daming." ”

Bai Guangen also shouted: "Brother Chang, the Jingshi has fallen, Chongzhen has also been driven into the depths of Yanshan by our Dashun army, Daming is dead, you can't be a martyr for a dying dynasty, not to mention that the lord also gave generous conditions to the eldest brother, as long as you are willing to surrender, you are still the official and the general soldier, and you are still Pingxibo." ”

"The saint drove into Yanshan?" Wu Sangui's expression moved slightly.

Of course, Wu Sangui didn't really want to kill Tang Tong and Bai Guangen.

If he really wanted to kill people, he wouldn't meet them at all, and he would cut them down as soon as possible.

Wu Sangui did this just to act, to put on a posture that he was still "loyal" to the Ming Dynasty, and this time Li had to continue to increase the price since he became a recruit.

To put it bluntly, it's a little trick of bargaining.

"There is no way this town will surrender and rebel." Wu Sangui said solemnly, "But I thought that the three of you and I had a colleague, and provided me with the whereabouts of the holy driver, so I will spare your life today, but next time, I will calmly take the lives of the two of you, now hurry up and get out of me!" ”

Tang Tong and Bai Guangen didn't dare to stay for a long time, and they walked out of the line in a gray way.

Fang Guangchen smiled and said, "The thief wants to recruit his brother with only a small profit, which is too underestimated. ”

The general Wu Guogui also said: "If the thief is really sincere, let the uncle still lead the Guanning army and control Jizhen, anyway, our 200,000 Liao people will only recognize the uncle alone." ”

Wu Guogui undoubtedly said Wu Sangui's heart.

For Wu Sangui, it doesn't matter if he is a courtier of the Ming Dynasty or a courtier of Dashun, the second minister doesn't care about anything, all he cares about is the military power in his hands.

It is okay to surrender to the Great Shun Dynasty, but he must be allowed to guard Ji Town.

Wu Sangui is going to be the governor of Jiliao, and the general soldier or admiral can no longer satisfy his appetite.

The 40,000 iron cavalry of the Guanning Army and the 10,000 elites of Shanhaiguan must also be under his command, as long as these two conditions are met, he can change the court today.

But that can't be said explicitly.

At that moment, Wu Sangui scolded: "Shut up, what nonsense? ”

Wu Guogui didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "The last general is just talking casually, don't care, uncle." ”

"Carefully misfortune comes out of the mouth." Wu Sangui snorted, and said, "Hurry up and get out of here, by the way, by the way, help me call Hu Xinshui, a guerrilla from the left battalion, I have something to do with him." ”

Wu Guogui answered, turned around and left.

Fang Guangchen's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Brother wants to welcome back the Holy Driver?" ”

"Do you think it's okay for a virtuous brother?" Wu Sangui looked at Fang Guangchen, his deep gaze was like an endless abyss.

"Okay." Fang Guangchen smiled brightly, and said, "No matter what, my brother is still the Ping Xibo of the Ming Dynasty, and it was originally your duty to protect the Holy Driver." ”

Fang Guangchen has something to say, but Wu Sangui can understand it.

After a while, Hu Xinshui, a guerrilla from the left battalion, strode into the line.

Hu Xinshui is a Mongol, to be precise, a defector Mongol, more precisely, the Chahar Mongols, that is, the direct descendants of the Golden Family, after the Chahar Mongols were annexed by the Later Jin, most of the direct descendants of the Golden Family were killed, some fled west to Junggaria, and some moved south to settle in Liaoxi.

Historical records record that there were 3,000 Yiding under the command of Zu Dashou, all of whom were warriors recruited from the Mongols who moved south.

However, Zu Dashou's 3,000 Yiding, 1,000 horsemen followed Zu Kuan and Zu Dale into the pass to suppress thieves, and they were beaten to ashes by the Dashun army, and 1,000 horses followed Zu Dashou to surrender to Jiannu, and they have been incorporated into Wuzhen Chaoha, and the last thousand horsemen followed Wu Sangui from beginning to end, which was the Zuoying family led by Hu Xinshui.

In particular, it should be noted that this family member is not another family member.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the family of the warlord was more appropriate to be called a soldier, or a mercenary, and he was not the kind of domestic slave who had a personal dependency with the head of the family.

For example, Zu Kuan and Zu Dale were once Zu Dashou's family members, but the two of them and Zu Dashou were not the kind of personal dependence between the house slave and the family master, but only the employment relationship between the soldiers and the employer, and later the Ming court became the employer of Zu Kuan and Zu Dale, and the two and the thousand Yiding under their command turned to fight for the court.

"Uncle." Hu Xinshui hugged his chest and saluted, and asked angrily, "Are you looking for me?" ”

"No courtesy." Wu Sangui raised his hands and said, "Old Hu, your hometown is in Chahar Mongolia, right?" ”

"Why did Uncle suddenly ask about this?" Hu Xinshui said with some surprise, "The last general's hometown is in Chahar, but he has been living in Liaoxi for more than 20 years, and he is already a Ming person. ”

"I'm not suspicious of you." Wu Sangui waved his hand and said, "I just want to ask you, are you familiar with the terrain of Yanshan?" ”

"I am familiar with the terrain of Yanshan." Hu Xinshui said, "After all, Chahar Mongolia is at the northern foot of Yanshan, and the last general followed his father and brother into the mountains to hunt when he was a child, and I know no less than ten paths that can bypass the Great Wall." ”

Speaking of this, Hu Xinshui stared at him and asked, "Is Uncle going to use troops against the Chahar Mongols?" ”

"With soldiers? Use a fart soldier. Wu Sangui didn't have a good breath, "Right now, my Ming Dynasty is already embattled, stormy, where can I have the ability to use troops against the Chahar Mongols." ”

Hu Xinshui said: "What do you mean, uncle?" ”

Wu Sangui said: "That's the case, the Jingshi has fallen, and the holy driver has also hunted north into Yanshan, if nothing else, the thieves must have followed into the mountain to start a pursuit, so I ordered you to lead a thousand Yiding to urgently enter Yanshan to escort the car, you listen, be sure to find the holy car before the thieves and welcome back to Yongping." ”

Hu Xinshui said: "It's okay to find the holy car before the thieves, but what if the holy car refuses to come?" The last general can't forcibly tie up the holy car to Yongping, right? ”

Wu Sangui said: "Then you will find a way to convince the holy driver." ”

"Huh? Convince the Holy Driver? Hu Xinshui said with a bitter face, "Uncle, we are stupid, we can't do this." ”

Wu Sangui's face fell, do I have to make my words clear? Can't you just use your dog's brain to think about it?

At this time, Fang Guangchen, who was sitting on the side, said with a smile: "General Hu, in order to ensure the safety of the holy car, you can forcibly tie people up when necessary, in short, everything is to ensure the safety of the holy car." ”

"Understood!" Hu Xinshui is now down-to-earth.

……

Bai Guangen returned to Beijing as quickly as possible.

After receiving the news, Li Zicheng immediately convened several confidants to discuss the matter.

Li Zicheng said in a deep voice: "What do you say, what do you mean by this guy Wu Sangui? ”

Niu Jinxing groaned and said: "The minister thinks that Wu Sangui should be waiting for the price to sell, he feels that the lord's offer is low, and he hopes that the lord can continue to increase the price." ”

Li Zicheng said: "It's not enough to still seal Xibo and still be his chief soldier?" ”

Niu Jinxing said: "The minister guesses that Wu Sangui is unwilling to hand over the Guan Ning army, and then he wants to be the governor of Jiliao." ”

Li Zicheng said: "Guan Ningjun still gives him this is no problem, but the governor of Jiliao can't, if that's the case, he won't become the soil emperor of Jizhen?" ”

Niu Jinxing said: "What the lord said is extremely true, as strong as Li Rusong is just a commander. ”

Li Zicheng said: "In this way, give him two days to think about it, agree to hand over Jizhen and Shanhaiguan to Tangtong to guard, and then lead the Guanning army to Beijing, if you don't agree, then there is nothing to say, send troops to destroy him." ”

Song Xiance said: "Lord, only 10,000 soldiers and horses from Tang Tong were sent to guard Jizhen and Shanhaiguan, is it weaker?" ”

"The left army division is too worried." Niu Jinxing smiled and said, "We Dashun and Jiannu have no long-standing grudges, and Jiannu will not send troops to attack us for no reason." ”

"The prime minister is right, we didn't provoke Jiannu, why did Jiannu beat us?" Li Zicheng waved his hand and said, "What's more, Jiannu also sent people to us last year to conclude an alliance with us. ”

Song Xiance thought about it too, and didn't say anything more at the moment.

Li Zicheng continued: "It's Chongzhen's child, haven't you caught it yet?" ”

Song Xiance hurriedly said: "Li You and Gu Kecheng have already entered the mountain, as long as Chongzhen Xiao'er does not escape from the Great Wall and escape into Chahar Mongolia, he will definitely be caught." ”

"The key is not to delay for too long." Li Zicheng frowned and said.

Niu Jinxing also echoed: "Yes, the Lord is still waiting for Chongzhen to come back to the Zen position." ”

"Thief." Liu Zongmin scolded, "Chongzhen is really mad, and he dares to escape into Yanshan." ”

Chongzhen actually took the remnants into Yanshan, which Li Zicheng did not expect, the mountains are not as good as Jingshi, and the conditions are really not ordinarily difficult.

Li Zicheng has tasted this bitterness.

Therefore, Chongzhen dared to enter Yanshan, which made Li Zicheng feel a little surprised.

Li Zicheng scratched his head and said: "Let the right army division also enter the mountain together, and capture Chongzhen Xiao'er as soon as possible, the enthronement ceremony can not be delayed any longer, I am not in a hurry, but the old brothers can't wait." ”

Chongzhen was not caught for a day, and Li Zicheng could not ascend the throne as emperor for a day.

If Li Zicheng does not ascend the throne for one day, the reward for meritorious heroes will not be carried out for a day.

But the old people of the Dashun Army can't wait to be added to the ranks.

Among them, the most positive are Li Zicheng's relatives, when Xi'an was divided, these people were all crowned marquis, if Li Zicheng ascended the throne and became the emperor, they should be crowned kings.
