Chapter Seventy-Nine: If Ao Bai Leads the Northern Expedition, Who in the DPRK and China Can Be Responsible?
"Dad, don't you know where to go? He must have run to the king of Pingxi! ”
"Went to the king of Pingxi?" Kong Sizhen asked, "How can you see it?" ”
"Aunt," Wang Zhongxiao said, "although Ao Bai and our uncle are also very close, but the lord of the feudal domain is you after all!" If he goes to Guangxi, you will definitely know, and you are the goddaughter of the Empress Dowager, our princess Heshuo of the Qing Dynasty, and you will definitely kill your relatives when the time comes.
Besides, although our uncle is trying to establish the throne of the king of the south, his mind is only that...... This king of Dingnan, after all, is still the vassal king of the Qing Dynasty. If our uncle is tied up and sent to Beijing, the emperor and the empress dowager may also reward him with the throne of Dingfan.
And the king of Pingxi is different, the king of Pingxi ...... It's to rebel and become the emperor! If you want to rebel, you must have a general who can take charge alone, and Aobai, the first Baturu in Manchuria, is such a general. Think about it, if Ao Bai leads the Northern Expedition, who can be the one in the DPRK and China?
In addition, Ao Bai must still have a lurking friend in the court! Otherwise, how did he escape from the Qianqing Palace that day? It must have been Aobai's sworn friend who found out that the emperor had set up an ambush in the Qianqing Palace, so he reminded him. This sworn friend hasn't been captured yet!
Now there are no less than 100,000 elite soldiers under the command of King Pingxi, if you get the assistance of Aobai, plus the assistance of the dead party of Aobai in the court...... Auntie, tell me, is it possible that this Pingxi King's rebellion was successful? ”
Kong Sizhen gasped when she heard this!
If Ao Bai helped Wu Sangui rebel together, then the military leaders of Liangguang, including his own feudal leaders and his father's old subordinates, would definitely bet on Wu Sangui's success.
At that time, not only will the Qing Dynasty be in chaos, but even the good life of his own feudal lord Gege will not be able to be saved!
Thinking of this, Kong Sizhen glanced at Wang Fuchen softly: "Brother Wang, what should I do?" ”
"Don't be afraid," Wang Fuchen touched his beard, "Sister Zhen, there is a brother here...... Brother Hui will become the governor of Liangguang, you go back to Guangxi to sit in the town, and the two of us will join forces, and we will definitely be able to stabilize the situation of Liangguang for the imperial court! ”
Kong Sizhen nodded, but her brows were still frowning, "But there are still Pingnan Palaces and Xushun Mansions in Guangdong, and Jingnan Palaces and Haicheng Mansions in neighboring Fujian." Moreover, the governors, commanders, and deputy generals of Liangguang and Fujian were either the old subordinates of the kings of Pingxi, Pingnan, and Jingnan, or they were pirates who took refuge in the imperial court, and there were almost no ones who could be relied on. If we rebel together, how can we stabilize the situation by relying on my fifteen leaders and your superintendents? ”
In the early Qing Dynasty, there were not three "domains", but six, namely Pingxi Wangfu, Pingnan Wangfu, Dingnan Wangfu, Jingnan Wangfu, Xushun Gongfu and Haicheng Duke, of which there were 53 directly under the jurisdiction of Pingxi Wangfu, and there were 15 directly under the three princes of Pingnan, Dingnan and Jingnan, and there were only five assistants in the two palaces. In other words, the number of subordinates directly under the jurisdiction of the Pingxi Wangfu family is about equal to the number of subordinates under the jurisdiction of the remaining three kings and two dukes!
However, the leader on this account is not equal to the real strength. For example, although Kong Sizhen's Dingvat also had fifteen assistants, these assistants were almost completely lost when Li Dingguo conquered Guilin. Later, although it was rebuilt again, the rebuilt leader was no longer the elite who followed Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan, to conquer the east and west, and even the number of people was discounted.
And those leaders under Wu Sangui were originally overstaffed, and later they were filled in with a lot of Nanming elites who were recruited, and the establishment was more substantial. Coupled with many years of reproduction, Ding Zhuanghe has a much larger population than the assistant leader of the Ding Domain.
As for the foundation of the Pingnan Mansion in Guangdong, although it is not as good as the Pingxi Palace. But they have not experienced the blow of the annihilation of the whole army, and Guangdong is much richer than Guangxi, and can support more strong men and troops under the domain, so the Ping Domain in Guangdong is also much stronger than the Ding Domain in Guangxi.
In addition, there are many old departments under the command of the two feudal clans of Ping and Ding, who served as commanders and deputy generals in Liangguang, and these old departments are very independent, and Shang Kexi still has the ability to control these old departments, but Kong Sizhen is not her father Kong Youde after all, and it is difficult to control these uncles.
Therefore, once Wu Sangui rebels, the feudal towns and other large and small military leaders on the Liangguang side will make trouble again, even if Wang Fuchen goes south and becomes the governor of Liangguang, I am afraid it will be difficult to stabilize the situation with Kong Sizhen.
Wang Fuchen also frowned, put on an expression of concern for the country and the people, sighed and said: "It is indeed a little less, Zhen Meizi, your fifteen assistants will send a maximum of 3,000 troops, and the governor of Liangguang will be at most 5,000...... If you don't eat a single empty quota, that's eight thousand. Just one flat domain can pull out tens of thousands of troops! ”
Wang Zhongxiao heard his father hand him a conversation, so he quickly took it and said, "Dad, you're not right...... The Ping Domain, the Jing Domain, and even the Pingxi Wangfu Domain all have loyal ministers, where will they all rebel together? Others don't say it, but the three princes of the Ping Domain, the Jing Domain, and the Ping Xi Domain all wrote letters of allegiance to Aobai. ”
Wang Fuchen shook his head and said: "They wrote a letter to Aobai to show their loyalty, indicating that they are Aobai's people, and Aobai has now taken refuge in the king of Pingxi, aren't they the people of the king of Pingxi?" ”
"Brother Wang, this account can't be counted like this!" Kong Sizhen's eyes lit up when he heard Wang Zhongxiao's words, "Although they wrote letters to Aobai to be loyal, they were loyal to the imperial court and the Qing Dynasty...... That Wu Yingxiong said in the letter that he would use the prestige of Aobai and the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court to depose his father, advance the heir, and then cooperate with the imperial court to cut the domain!
Where is this Aobai's sworn friend? He is clearly a loyal servant of the imperial court! ”
"Aunt Zhen is very right!" Wang Zhongxiao said, "This is also the meaning of the Duke and the Shuo Forehead...... The reason why they wrote to Aobai was because they represented the imperial court before Aobai. In fact, they are not loyal to the court, but loyal to the court! ”
Kong Sizhen nodded, "Shikai is right, they are loyal to the imperial court. Then she said hatefully: "But the surname Sun is loyal to Ao Bai and the king of Pingxi!" ”
Wang Fuchen saw Kong Sizhen's annoyed appearance, and hurriedly comforted him softly: "Sister Zhen, don't worry...... As long as we can join forces with the Duke of Alta and Heshuo, we will definitely be able to defend the two Guang for the imperial court. The two Guangzhous are in hand, even if Wu Sangui can turn around, his hometown in Yunnan will not be comforted, and it is even more wishful thinking for him to go north through Huguang to chase the Central Plains! ”
Kong Sizhen glanced at Wang Fuchen affectionately, "Fortunately, there is Brother Wang, otherwise the little sister really doesn't know what to do." ”
Wang Fuchen smiled: "Sister Zhen, we have long been our own people...... However, we haven't joined forces with the prince of Pingxi, the prince of Pingxi, and the prince of Heshuo! ”
"Brother Wang, don't worry," Kong Sizhen said with a smile, "The three of them have always been good friends with me, and I am the adopted daughter of the Empress Dowager, as long as I come forward to contact, we will definitely be able to unite and be loyal to the Qing Dynasty together!" ”
Wang Zhongxiao was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is great...... Not to mention the prince of Pingxi, as long as Aunt Zhen, my father, Duke of Alta and the prince of Jingnan can join forces to protect each other, the land of Tiannan will also be safe in the future! ”
......
Rouge Alley, Lichun Temple.
This first-class green building in the entire Bada Hutong is not a local green building in Beijing, but a branch of the first green building in Yangzhou, Lichun Courtyard, which was opened from Yangzhou. Different from the "time-honored brands" in Beijing, the Lichun Courtyard in Yangzhou has personnel engaged in special services...... It's all women!
There is only a little sister here, and there is no little brother - because when Yangzhou Lichun Courtyard opened, Dolgon Doama, who strictly forbade the children of the Eight Banners and the young ladies to have unspeakable incidents, had already been bruised and scattered, so the Qinglou here in Beijing couldn't help but be a young lady.
However, those "time-honored brands" are relatively slow to adapt to changes, so they still retain many "little brothers" who are flamboyant. And the newcomer Lichun Courtyard has no baggage in this regard, so Yishui is a young lady.
The retainers of the four feudal clans in Beijing and the "newcomers of the Eight Banners" who were recruited from Fujian, Guangdong, and Yunnan were not very accustomed to the service of the "little brothers", so this Lichun Courtyard became their "paradise", and they would be chartered by these people from time to time.
Today, this Lichun Courtyard has been chartered again! However, it was not chartered by the retainers of the four feudal clans or the "newcomers of the Eight Banners", but the second master of Yuan Linjing, the owner of Lichun Courtyard, who took his brother Yang Qilong and Yang Sanye out of the field to entertain the letter of the prince and the Heshuo attached to Geng Jingzhong and their subordinates.
At this time, Shang Zhixin and the subordinates brought by Geng Jingzhong were all having fun with the young ladies, but Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong themselves were writing with a brush in a quiet room on the third floor of Lichun Courtyard...... To write in Lichun Courtyard, this is really elegant!
And Yang Qilong, who is now the east, reminded in a low voice on the side: "Don't be in a hurry, write (copy) slowly, don't make a typo, and take it to the emperor when you turn around." ”
I replied that the letter of the public was finished, put down the brush, and looked at Yang Qilong worriedly: "Yang San, I have finished writing the letter...... But is this really reliable? ”
Geng Jingzhong also frowned and said, "If this letter falls into the hands of my Amma, he will have to abolish my son!" ”
"No, no, can't ......" Yang Qilong said with a smile, "How could this letter fall into the hands of King Jingnan?" If you two can't trust me, let's go to the royal mansion in Big Tofu Lane early tomorrow morning...... You personally handed over the letter to Wang Shikai, and by the way, you gave the silver! ”
"Alright, that's it!"
"Okay, let's go see Wang Shikai early tomorrow morning!"
......
On the shelves on Friday, ask for the first order, add more! On Friday, five more will be sent in a row, and one hundred plus one more will be added after the first order is over 1,000!
