"Amma. Father, this is the enlightenment of Tan Zongrong in Kuizhou. It's in a hurry."

In the Xiwang Mansion of the Ming Dynasty President of Chongqing Prefecture, Sichuan Province, Wu Yingxiong, who also changed into a "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" style hood and yellow robe, was walking around behind his father Wu Sangui. In Wu Sangui's palace and political hall, there were still a bunch of people, listening to the old man's assignment of tasks.

"Where did the silver from Wuhua Mountain go? The revival of the Ming Dynasty can cost silver, and then we have to go eastward, but also the Northern Expedition, where and everywhere have to spend silver, but we must not lose the silver of Wuhua Mountain is our foundation, we must be optimistic, and we must send more soldiers and horses along the way to protect! ”

"How's the autumn grain purchase in Hanzhong Mansion? Sichuan is thousands of miles of white land, there is no food to supply the army to the Northern Expedition, and if you want to send troops next spring, you can only count on Hanzhong to tell Fang Xianting, don't be afraid of spending money, who in the ordinary landlord's family doesn't have a rice and noodles that can't be eaten in three or five years? Spending money to buy it is, if it is not enough to just give money, give them another meritorious name. In short, the key to next year's battle of Qishan is the supply of grain and grass! ”

"Sun Yanling begged to be crowned the king of the south, and he wanted this king to send troops to Guangxi to help him beat his wife? What's this guy messing with? The king is about to expel the Tartars and restore China. How can you help him beat his wife? And how can outsiders help such a thing as beating a wife? Let him figure it out on his own! As for the matter of sealing the king, let's talk about it when he subdues his wife! There is only one king of Dingnan, he has it, and his wife is gone! ”

"What? My brother Wu Sanwei and Ao Bai became pirates together? Mistaken, right? Wu Sanwei is not my brother. What? This Wu Sanwei was born in the outer room that my father raised outside? It's possible, my dad is afraid of guilt! Let's think he's the king's younger brother first. Give a naval army governor! ”

It was easy to wait for Wu Sangui to finish dispatching all the important matters in good spirits, and Wu Yingxiong handed over the copy of the enlightenment that he had just received from Tan Hong, the general soldier of Kuizhou. During these days, Wu Yingxiong's spirit was very sluggish, and he suddenly seemed to be one or two decades old, which formed a huge contrast with his more and more energetic Lao Tzu Wu Sangui.

And there are two reasons for Wu Yingxiong's malaise, one is that his family is ruined. The wife was trapped, the son was killed, and the daughter and the little wife were all occupied, it was so miserable!

The second is that he seems a little redundant by Wu Sangui's side! He was a hostage in Beijing since he was a child, and he had to be very cautious in everything he said and did, and he also developed his habit of being submissive, and Wu Sangui was unable to cultivate his military and political talents, resulting in his inability to govern the country and fight in arms.

In contrast, his brother Wu Yingqi's performance is too eye-catching! Although Wu Yingqi has a rude personality and is informal, it is easy to offend people. However, the performance of the Battle of Rongxi Bridge was too outstanding - he led 2,500 people to block the onslaught of 20,000 or 30,000 Qing troops, and turned all the Qing troops of 450,000 into two, creating extremely favorable conditions for the subsequent siege and annihilation of Daguan Town.

With the military merits of this battle, Wu Yingqi is already the first general in Wu Sangui's camp!

Some people have even compared the Battle of Rongxi Bridge to the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass commanded by Li Shimin.

What made Wu Yingxiong feel even more desperate was that Wu Yingqi's son Wu Shicong was even more outstanding than his father, not only was his ability to lead troops fight no weaker than his father, but he was also humble, courteous and virtuous, and had the style of an elder.

Wu Sangui even entrusted Wu Shicong with a heavy task and ordered him to garrison Hanzhong to prepare for the Northern Expedition!

And Wu Yingxiong's adoptive brother, Wu Sangui's adopted son Wu Guogui, before being sent by Wu Sangui to Guizhou to supervise the army, also talked to Wu Yingxiong privately and persuaded him to take a step back and open the sky. Originally, Wu Yingxiong never thought of being the emperor. If Kangxi is willing to return his wife and children to him, he is happy to go to Kunming to retire, isn't it good for a large family to be happy on Wuhua Mountain?

But now he knows what a big husband is, and he can't be without power for a day!

If he had the power, would he end up in ruin?

So after Wu Yingxiong arrived in Chongqing, he also began to be active and began to work hard to play Wu Sangui's right-hand man. However, Wu Sangui seems to look down on him a little, and does not let him meddle in the important affairs of the military state, and only lets him be responsible for the aspects that are not very important, such as appeasing the large and small warlords on the side of Kuizhou - the terrain on the side of Kuizhou is very trivial, and the water and soil are relatively nourishing, so the cost of secession is very low, and it is easy to breed the Tusi Haoqiang who dominates one side.

And Wu Sangui didn't pay much attention to these people, so he asked Wu Yingxiong Yao to lead the affairs of Kuizhou, responsible for appeasing the local forces in Kuizhou, as long as these local forces were willing to follow the anti-Qing Dynasty, even if they didn't send a single soldier out of the country, it would be impossible for the Qing army to enter Kuimen against the Yangtze River.

As for marching into Huguang through Kuizhou, in Wu Sangui's view, there is no feasibility. Along the way, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and the logistics support is still very difficult! And after going out of Kuimen and entering Huguang, there are still dangers everywhere. In history, Zhuge Liang and his lord Uncle Liu Huang didn't take this road, but he was blocked by Lu Xun in the mountains on the side of the Yangtze River?

In the opinion of Wu Sangui, who won the battle of Daguan Town, it is the right way to seize the world by leaving Qishan and entering Guanzhong as soon as possible and taking Shaanxi and Gansu in one fell swoop - in history, he did not dare to do this because he was afraid of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers.

But now he is no longer afraid of the Eight Banners, and the battle of Daguan Town has made the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers appear as prototypes...... It's basically a group of Jingshi who are afraid of death and hardship!

Therefore, Wu Sangui's current policy is to use the main force to go out of Qishan and pass through Huguang with a partial division.

Moreover, the partial division that passed through Huguang did not go to Kuimen, but went east to Guizhou to go out of Biyuan (western Hunan), first take Hunan, and then make plans according to the situation of the Northern Expedition to Gansu and Shaanxi.

However, Wu Yingxiong Jin'er found a good opportunity to take Jingxiang by surprise from the Qiben (a recital to Wu Sangui) sent by Tan Hong, the chief soldier of Kuizhou, which was an opportunity for him, the prince of the world, to establish his prestige, so he immediately sent it to Wu Sangui's side without stopping.

Wu Sangui was busy, his spirit was a little overwhelmed, and he was a little sleepy sitting there. Looking at his son holding Tan Hong's book of wall-grass enlightenment, I really didn't want to see it. But Wu Yingxiong was his eldest son after all, so he still took it lazily, opened it and glanced at it casually, and immediately came to the spirit: "What? And such a good thing? ”

Wu Yingxiong said with a smile: "Father, the plan mentioned by Tan Zongrong Qiben, Erchen thinks it is quite feasible and we don't need to send large soldiers, the Kuizhou soldiers, Shizhu soldiers, and the remnants of the Thirteen Kuidong families will send troops, let's sponsor some captured weapons and armor, and then seal some officials, maybe we can take Jingzhou and Xiangyang." Even if it doesn't work, it can attract the attention of the Huguang Qing army to Hubei, and it will be easy for the third brother to take Hunan. ”

"Is this Yang Laijia reliable?" Wu Sangui asked again.

"Reliable! It's so reliable! Wu Yingxiong said with a smile, "This Yang Laijia, the chief soldier of Xiangyang Town, is Zheng Chenggong's old department, and Kangxi was forced to surrender in the first year, and he was not convinced. The Qing court didn't believe him either, so they didn't let him stay in the coastal areas of Fujian and transferred him to Xiangyang as a general soldier. Erchen had befriended him when he was in Beijing, and he was quite speculative, knowing that he was depressed. If the retainer comes forward to appease him, he will definitely be willing to submit to us! ”

"He doesn't have many soldiers in general, can he take Xiangyang?" Wu Sangui was still a little skeptical.

Wu Yingxiong said: "Tan Zongrong's enlightenment book already has a countermeasure, he wants to let the people of the thirteen families of Kuidong make trouble in Lizhou and Yichang, attract the attention of the Huguang Qing army, and then go to Xiang with Shizhu soldiers, and Yang Laijia to join forces inside and outside!" Father, the sons and daughters think that this matter can be tried if it is done, then the Central Plains will be shaken, if not, it can also make a big mess, which is conducive to our exit from Qishan and Hunan. ”

Wu Sangui was finally persuaded by Wu Yingxiong, nodded and said, "Boss, this matter will be left to you. For my father, I will send you another standard of elite soldiers, and let Yang Yizhi lead you to Kuizhou with you. If Xiangyang can really be taken, as a father, let him be the governor of Huguang!

The eldest is my father, and I know that some people compare the second child to Li Shimin. However, in the eyes of his father, the change of Xuanwumen is actually a fruit, and the seed of cannibalism between the Li and Tang brothers is actually planted by Li Yuan himself. When he was fighting the world, he tied the crown prince Li Jiancheng to his side, and let the second son Li Shimin go to the east and west to establish his prestige, but Li Shimin was too big to lose, do you understand the meaning of being a father? ”

Wu Yingxiong nodded, he knew that Wu Sangui meant to drive ducks to the shelves, and force him, who had been a hostage for half his life, to make meritorious contributions, which was really embarrassing, not to mention that he couldn't compare with Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng couldn't compare with him!

But now that it's here, he can't do it if he doesn't work hard!

Thinking of this, Wu Yingxiong nodded heavily and said, "Father, the child will go to Kuizhou with Yang Yizhi tomorrow, and the child will not disappoint his father!" ”

Wu Sangui already looked at his eldest son with relief, and said with a smile: "I still have something to tell you that Wu Yuanyi brought a secret letter from Guangdong, and the letter said that your second son Shifan is sure that he has escaped!" He suspected that he was rescued by Wang Zhongxiao, and your youngest daughter Xiaogang also followed Wang Zhongxiao. You write a letter, and I will send it to Wu Yuanyi when I go back, so that he can find a chance to hand it over to Wang Zhongxiao! ”

"Write a letter?" Wu Yingxiong sighed, "What do you write?" Father, if Shilin hadn't died in his hands, it would be okay to say that he likes beautiful women, so I'll give him Xiaogang to him, it doesn't matter if it's not big or not. But Shilin is my sister-in-law! ”

Wu Sangui smiled bitterly: "This is all Kangxi's means. Ying Xiong, you still have to appease Wang Zhongxiao, after all, his father is the governor of Liangguang, he still controls the Heaven and Earth Society, and the third prince Zhu is also in his hands! We still need him! ”

Wu Yingxiong just nodded, in fact, he also knew the reason for Wu Shilin's death, which was that Kangxi forced Wang Zhongxiao to surrender.

But the problem is that Wu Shilin is his sister-in-law and the heir of Wu Sangui!

If the Wu family wins the world in the future, then Wu Shilin will inevitably be posthumously crowned the prince!

Wang Zhongxiao killed the prince of the Wu dynasty, this thorn will stab people to death!

Wang Zhongxiao's death of Wu Shilin was a fatal thorn, and it was also a whip that drove Wang Zhongxiao to Guangdong with a roar!

He left Beijing in September of the tenth year of Kangxi, although he took a large family with him, but he didn't dare to delay a little along the way, if it wasn't for a group of women and children to follow, he wanted to fly to Guangdong at the speed of 800 miles!

Because he is really afraid that his unreliable father will "kill his relatives in righteousness" now!

His father has no shortage of sons!

Not to mention those concubines, just the sons-in-law born and raised by the eldest wife, Wang Fuchen has three!

That's right, it's three!

Zhang Xiaoyu added a younger brother to Wang Zhongxiao and Wang Jizhen. It's still the word "Ji", and it's called "Yoshinaga"!

Hearing this made Wang Zhongxiao's heart unhappy.

Because Wang Zhongxiao himself is a "loyal" generation. Wang Fuchen's adopted sons and concubines are all "loyal"!

And Wang Jizhen, Sun Jiqing and now Wang Jiyong are all "Ji" generations.

What does this mean?

Did he treat Wang Zhongxiao, a good son who was loyal and filial, as a concubine?

This father, he is not filial!

So Wang Zhongxiao had to guard against his father! As soon as his group arrived in Shaoguan and entered the ground in Guangdong, he simply left his brother Wang Jizhen and his eldest wife Wu Xiaosu and his little wife Yang Xiaohuan, and only took Wu Shifan, Wu Xiaojiang, Wang Shiyuan, Wang An, Wang Quan, Wang Leiyong and dozens of personal cavalry, day and night, and flew to Zhaoqing.

And when he arrived at Zhaoqing Mansion, his father, Wang Fuchen, was discussing how to deal with Kong Sizhen's husband Sun Yanling in the Dingnan Gege Kong Sizhen's mansion next door to the Yamen of the Governor of Liangguang!

Sun Yanling is now entrenched in Liuzhou, colluding with Ma Xiong, the governor of Guangxi, Guo Yi, the general soldier of Zuojiang, and Zu Zeqing, the general soldier of Gao, Lei, and Lian, to oppose his wife Kong Sizhen.

Husbands and wives are almost playing to the point of meeting each other, and there is no one left!

Kong Sizhen was also very annoyed by her husband's betrayal. Although she did not abide by women's morals, she was friendly with Wang Fuchen, and gave birth to a son together. But she didn't feel sorry for Sun Yanling, when she and Wang Fuchen were good, Sun Yanling knew!

Because Wang Fuchen's status was too low and was not recognized by Bumu Butai, she had to marry Sun Yanling with her belly. Although Sun Yanling became a "pick-up man", Kong Sizhen did not stop Sun Yanling from accepting concubines, nor did he not let Sun Yanling go to bed, and even served Sun Yanling with Sun Yanling's concubine. Later, he also begged the Guangxi general for Sun Yanling, and asked Sun Yanling to take the concubines to Guangxi for a leisurely getaway.

So in Kong Sizhen's opinion, Sun Yanling didn't lose anything about this plate! It's Wang Fuchen, and the positions of himself and the Guangxi general were originally Wang Fuchen's! Moreover, Wang Fuchen also helped Sun Yanling to plant seeds, so that Kong Sizhen gave birth to a tall and handsome son for Sun Yanling, and he could inherit the Sun family's incense in the future!

If no one Wang Fuchen helped, Sun Yanling would not even have a child so far, this is just a lot of wives and wives for Sun Yanling, and there is only one child!

And even if Sun Yanling did so many things that were sorry for Kong Sizhen, Kong Sizhen still didn't want to fight with her husband - even if the husband and wife fought in the back house, Sun Yanling would be honest if he was beaten. If you take an army to the battlefield to fight. It's ugly!

And there are still a lot of people who don't know the truth, and when the time comes, everyone in the world must say that Kong Sizhen does not abide by women's morals.

You've led soldiers to kill your husband, and you can't keep the woman's way!

So although Kong Sizhen wanted to deal with Sun Yanling, he didn't want Wang Fuchen to send troops. And Wang Fuchen actually didn't want to help Kong Sizhen kill Sun Yanling. It's not that he thinks he's in the wrong place – how can he feel like he's in the wrong? Kong Sizhen was originally his! He had already slept Kong Sizhen obediently, but Sun Yanling snatched love and cuckolded him!

But the problem is that Wang Fuchen knows that Sun Yanling has taken refuge in Wu Sangui!

Don't look at Sun Mian to look at Wu Mian. Now that Wu Sangui's power is so big, and he is about to seize the world, how can Wang Fuchen send troops to kill Wu Sangui's lackey Sun Yanling?

Besides, Sun Yanling's side and Ma Xiong, Guo Yi, and Zu Zeqing were all killed, isn't his Wang Fuchen a diehard loyalist of the Qing Dynasty?

Therefore, Wang Fuchen's mind was to pull Kong Sizhen to join Wu Sangui and let Wu Sangui choose between himself, Kong Sizhen and Sun Yanling.

Sun Yanling's own strength is very small, and Wang Fuchen plus Kong Sizhen can pull out an army of 20,000! The two of them want to join forces, plus Ma Xiong, Guo Yi, and Zu Zeqing, and they will immediately change banners!

He has thought about it, and when the time comes, he will be the king of Dingnan, let Kong Sizhen be his eldest wife, Zhang Xiaoyu be his second wife, and let Sun Jiqing recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors to be Wang Jiqing, and inherit the throne of King Dingnan in the future

was about to discuss with Kong Sizhen how to oppose the Qing Dynasty, when Wang Zhongxiao, a somewhat annoying son, suddenly came to him!

"What? He's already here? Didn't you just talk about Shaoguan yesterday? In Dingnan Gege's hotel, Wang Fuchen, the unfilial father, frowned when he heard that his adopted son Wang Zhongyi had come to report that Wang Zhongxiao had arrived.
