With a bang, Shang Zhixin smashed a teacup, as if he was still angry, picked up a pen and shook it violently, and shattered it again. A few Goshha and Da Baoyi who followed him all stood aside with their hands and shoulders down, and they didn't dare to come out.

Because Zhaoqing's trip went very well, Wang Fuchen and Kong Sizhen were fooled by him. This is a matter of course, he, Wang Fuchen, and Kong Sizhen were all partners who played with the first emperor back then, and they couldn't be more familiar.

It can be said that this time, in order to help his family recapture the three counties of Xiangshan, Xinning, and Xinhui and master the Guangdong Customs Road, it is really a twenty-year friendship and don't be a villain. I thought that he would lead his troops to recover the three counties and be sent to Haoao to give him this prince. Unexpectedly, Shang Kexi's old thing didn't say anything to him, so he handed over the task of collecting the three counties in Haoao to Shang Zhixiao, and also gave Shang Zhixiao 10,000 troops!

An army of 10,000!

The fifteen leaders directly under Shang Fan only have 3,000 soldiers on the books, and it would be good to be able to pull out 6,000 if they were mobilized! Even if you go to the men and horses of the left and right wings of the general army, which have always been controlled by the Shang Domain, there will be a little more than 10,000 people in the sky.

Although this time there were also Guangdong Governor Zhu Guozhi and Guangdong Governor Li Ran, as well as Chen Shikai, who did not become the chief soldier of Zhaoqing and was reappointed as the chief soldier of the newly established Humen Town (expanded from the Guangdong Naval Division Humen Association), but Shang Fan still had the big head!

It can be said that this battle is also a bit of a move for Shang Fan - whether Shang Fan can dominate Guangdong in the future depends on whether he can win the money bag of Haoao Commercial Market this time!

If Shang Zhixiao led the elite of the Shang Domain to do this major thing, then Shang Zhixiao, who already had a high reputation in the Guangdong Domain, would inevitably overwhelm Shang Zhixin, the legitimate prince. If it is still the time when the Qing Dynasty rules the world, then Shang Zhixin is not afraid of anything, Shang Kexi's old cowardly bag is as fearful as a tiger, and there is no one in Shang Fan who is not afraid of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers.

So Shang Kexi didn't dare to remove the Duke of Shunzhi - this slave was there, how could Shang Kexi dare to have a bad heart for his son?

But now the Qing Dynasty has been in turmoil, not only Wu Sangui wants to compete with the Qing Dynasty for the world, but there is also news of Li Zicheng's resurrection in Huguang. Li Zicheng is alive, and Kangxi can still manage Guangdong?

As long as the Shang family and the Wang family do not openly join Wu Sangui or simply become emperors themselves, they can probably be regarded as good courtiers of the Qing Dynasty, right?

In this case, Shang Kexi, an old man who is disloyal and unfilial, wants to withdraw the son of the letter of the prince and replace it with the second son, Shang Zhixiao, is it not a matter of a word? Of course, the premise is that Shang Zhixiao's own prestige is enough.

Thinking of this, he slapped the table in a rage. After Shang Zhixiao successfully returned from the sneak attack on Haoao, his son would probably come to an end, and the current prince of Pingnan Wang was not a governor, he was a position that could not be taken down. Without the son of the world, the next thing is to be confined, and when Shang Zhixiao becomes the prince, then he should go down to accompany Shang Kexi, the unfaithful and unfilial father!

The more he thought about Shang Zhixin, the more his body trembled, and all kinds of thoughts were intertwined, so that he finally roared and jumped up: "Pack up for Lao Tzu and get ready to go!" Lao Tzu is no longer waiting, Lao Tzu is going back to Beijing! ”

A few big baoyi who followed him south from Beijing immediately agreed, turned around and went out to clean up, ready to "make room" for Shang Zhixiao. Several officials who had stayed in the Shizifu in Guangzhou did not move. These people glanced at each other, and a forty or fifty-year-old military attache wearing a red top walked up to Shang Zhixin's side and reminded in a low voice: "There are actually many people in the Guangdong domain who are not very satisfied with the prince and the second master!" ”

"Dissatisfied with the old thing and the second one? Why? Although Shang Zhixin was angry, he was not dizzy, and he knew that he had to ask why?

This second-rank military attache is named Li Tianzhi, who is currently the right long history of the Pingnan Wangfu Domain, and earlier served as the deputy commander under Shang Zhixin, and has been staying in the Shizifu in Guangzhou, and is Shang Zhixin's representative in the domain.

"Lord Shizi, isn't this obvious? Today's world has become like this, of course, some people want to find a founding hero! Haven't you ever thought about this? I heard that you had a good relationship with the prince of the West when you were in Beijing, if you can keep the prince of the West to fight the world, I am afraid that there will be no wealth in Guangdong in the future? On the contrary, if the Manchu court leveled the king of the west, would it still keep the Pingnan palace? This truth is not only known to many vassals, but also to several princes! But the prince and the second prince want to be the loyal slaves of the Manchurians."

Shang Zhixin calmed down a little, of course he understood what Li Tianzhi said. And he also knew the reason why Shang Kexi and Shang Zhixiao were loyal to the Qing Dynasty - they were because Shang Zhixinping Guangdong and later implemented the coastal relocation of the killing too heavy, but they did not really kill the Cantonese people, so they had to hug the thigh of the Qing Dynasty.

But there's no way out for them to do that. In other words, they may have a way out, but the minions under the domain have no way out.

If Wu Sangui defeats the Qing Dynasty in the future and wins the world, then the Guangdong Shang Domain is guilty of great sins, and it is still stubborn, of course it must be eliminated!

If the Qing Dynasty wins, then Shang Fan will be the next Wu Domain, and of course he will have to destroy Wu Zhiwei!

Both horizontal and vertical are all over, and they can only linger for a while when Wu Qing is facing off.

Of course, Shang Kexi and Shang Zhixiao, who are loyal lackeys of the Qing Dynasty, can still go to Beijing to have a good death in the case of the victory of the Qing Dynasty, and may be able to keep a hereditary prince.

But Shang Kexi has saved thirty-seven sons and thirty-two daughters so far, which is still the number of children who have grown up a little bit!

If you count the grandchildren, just the children and grandchildren of the Shang Kexi family (including the grandson) will probably surpass the Aixin Jueluo family!

So many people go to Beijing, let alone the palace, and one person and one courtyard house may not be guaranteed

Thinking of this, Shang Zhixin asked in a low voice: "Who among my brothers is willing to follow me to Wu?" ”

Hearing his words, all his subordinates smiled. Everyone knows that this I Dagong and Wu Yingxiong have a good relationship!

Turning to Wu Yingxiong is the way out!

"The fourth, twelfth, and fourteenth masters are all dissatisfied with the old prince and the second master!"

Although Shang Kexi has thirty-seven sons, the more important ones are the eldest Shang Zhixin, the second Shang Zhixiao, the fourth Shang Zhijie, the seventh Shang Zhilong, the old twelve Shang Zhihuang and the fourteenth.

These six sons each hold the eight leaders of the Eight Banners of the Blue Banner Han Army!

After Shang Kexi surrendered to the captives, his army was incorporated into the Blue Banner Han Army, and some of them later followed Shang Kexi south to Guangdong, and reorganized into fifteen feudal subordinate leaders, and the rest were divided into eight subordinate leaders of the Blue Banner Han Army, which were divided by Shang Kexi's six sons.

Among them, Shang Zhilong was especially valued because he married Princess Heshuo and Shun (Shunzhi's niece), and he led the three leaders of the Han Army with a blue flag. However, he is still in Beijing and has not come to Guangdong. The remaining five princes of Shang Fan who have blue flags are all in Guangdong, among which Shang Zhilong, Shang Zhihuang, and Shang Zhiying are all close to Shang Zhixin, and only Shang Zhixiao and Shang Kexi are close.

"Lord Shizi," Li Tianzhi said again: "The second master's dispatch of troops to Haoao is an opportunity!" He will definitely take away all the elite soldiers in the hands of himself and the prince, and most of the Fubiao of the governor of Guangdong will also be taken away, and only you and the fourth, twelfth, and fourteenth masters will be left in the city!

And once the second master attacks Haoao, Wang Fuchen, Wang Zhongxiao, and Kong Sizhen's western expedition will undoubtedly be defeated, and when the time comes, you just seize Guangzhou, lead your troops to take refuge in the West King, and Wu Siye (Wu Sanwei), General Ao, Zu Zongrong, and Sun Junmen together to besiege the Wang family father and son and Kong Sizhen, are you afraid that you will not be able to establish miracles for the new dynasty? ”

"Good!" Shang Zhixin slapped his face violently, "That's it!" ”

As one of the important players in the chaotic situation between Guangzhou, Guangzhou, and Gao, Lei, and Lian, Zu Zeqing, the chief soldier of the three prefectures, has fallen into deep doubts these days - why does that cousin of the Wu family ignore me?

This Zu Zeqing is Zu Dashou's youngest son, in his forties this year, and he also fought with his cousins Wu Sangui and Nanming when he was young, and he was "fascinated" by Wu Sangui and became a "little fan brother".

Because he was "obsessed" with Wu Sangui, he always wanted to be an official by Wu Sangui's "side", even if it was not "close", at least he had to be an official in Guizhou, Sichuan, Huguang, and Guangxi.

In this way, if Wu Sangui wants to "progress" again, he can immediately raise troops accordingly!

But his face is not so big, and in the end, he only found a general soldier of Gao, Lei, and Lian in Guangdong, which is actually quite close!

And Ma Xiong, the Guangxi Governor who "lives" next door to him, is also Wu Sangui's "fan brother", he is a Tianfang Sect, and he has to read it in the name of Wu Sangui when he does "Hutubai"!

Therefore, Zu Zeqing and Ma Xiong have been in tandem in private, preparing to raise troops when Wu Sangui rebelled, one swept Guangxi, and the other conquered Guangdong.

But the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and before Wu Sangui could oppose it, Kangxi sent Wang Fuchen with 10,000 new troops to be the governor of Liangguang and the president of Guilin Daying. 10,000 new troops!

This is not a joke, so Zu Zeqing and Ma Xiong did not dare to make a mistake, even if they colluded with Sun Yanling and Guo Yi, they did not dare to raise troops at the first moment when Wu Sangui played the anti-flag until Wu Sanwei and Ao Bai led the army to Xiangdao by sea, they lost the signboard of the Qing Dynasty together with Sun Yanling and Guo Yicai, and raised the banner of reviving the Ming Dynasty President Wu Sangui, the king of the West, and prepared to destroy Shang Kexi, Wang Fuchen, and Kong Sizhen together with Wu Sanwei, who is said to be the illegitimate son of Wu Xiang, and Fengtian to fight Hu General Aobai.

But what happened next made Zu Zeqing unable to figure it out. Wu Sanwei and Aobai, who are entrenched in Xin'an County and have more than 10,000 people, have never contacted him. The envoy he sent to Xiangdao was not received by the other party!

What does that mean? Why does this cousin of the Wu family ignore people?

Could it be because many people in the ancestral family were loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty in Beijing, so Wu Sanwei doubted his Zu Zeqing's determination to rebel?

And just when Zu Zeqing felt strange about the attitude of the Wu family's cousin, he sent to Xiangdao to contact Wu Sanwei's son Zu Liangjiao actually brought Wang Fuchen's eldest son Wang Jizhen.

In the city of Maoming (Gaozhou Prefecture), sitting in the yamen of the general army, Zu Zeqing, who was dressed as a general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, looked at the prince Wang who was wearing a white round-necked robe, wearing a red hood, holding a folding fan in his hand, and was accompanied by a white, clean and beautiful sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman. ”

"Cousin?" Zu Zeqing frowned, "The surname is Wang, when did we become relatives?" ”

"Mr. Zu, don't you know?" Wang Jizhen smiled and pointed to the woman who followed her, "This is Xiao Rong, the second daughter of the prince of the West Wang, and she is my concubine!" ”

With a "pop", Zu Zeqing had already slapped the table, "Bold!" The daughter of the son of the world is also something you can defile? Someone, take it for me! ”

"Slow!" The little county lord of the Wu family named Wu Xiaorong actually stepped forward and stood in front of Wang Jizhen, "Who dares to touch my father-in-law?" ”

"You" Zu Zeqing was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: This Wang Jizhen is not Xiao Lu Bu Wang Zhongxiao. The chubby one, how can he be so charming?

Thinking of this, he glanced at his son Zuliang Terrier.

In his early twenties, Zu Liang Terrier, who looked like a tiger's back, said helplessly: "Dad, the child not only met Cousin Rong's niece in Hao'ao, but also met Cousin Rong and Cousin Jiang's niece."

"What? Cousin niece? Zu Zeqing asked, "Who is she."

"She is the daughter of the third brother of Wu, the one known as the eight-faced Guanyin. I met King Xi when I went to Kunming to celebrate his birthday! ”

"What? Wu Xiaosu married Wang Datou? Zu Zeqing's eyes were about to fall out.

Wu Jizhen smiled: "That's my brother's daughter-in-law. In addition, the beloved daughter of the prince of the West also followed my brother, and when she grows up, she will also be a concubine. In addition, the second son of the prince of the West King is now also in Haoao! ”

"What? The second son of the prince of the West? Sefan? Zu Zeqing couldn't believe his ears.

He had already heard that Wu Shifan was missing, and he thought that he would be harmed a long time ago, but he didn't expect to follow Wang Zhongxiao!

Who is this Wang Zhongxiao?

"Yes, it's my second brother!" Wu Xiaorong, who is dedicated to protecting her husband, said, "On that day, my husband and his brother Shikai risked killing their heads to rescue my second brother, and Brother Shilin didn't blame them for hanging himself, it was forced to death by the tyrant Kangxi!" ”

Not to mention, the old Wu family's style of "no righteousness and observance of small festivals" has also been passed on to Wu Xiaorong!

Zu Liang said: "My lord, when the child saw Shi Fan's nephew in Hao O, he said the same. And he and Xiao Gang's niece have a very good relationship with Wang Shikai, and Xiao Gang's niece also said that she was willing to be a concubine for Shikai, which is also what Princess Jianning meant. Even if she becomes a princess in the future, she will not leave Wang Shikai. ”

Wu Xiaorong also said: "I won't leave my husband!" However, my brother is leaving Ho O to go to my father's side. ”

When Zu Zeqing heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Prince Wang, Xiao Rong said that my Shifan Xian nephew can leave Haoao and go back to his father's side?" ”

Wang Jizhen smiled: "That's what I'm here for. Now there is no son by the side of the prince of the West Wang, if the second son of Wu can go back, he will be the grandson of the king of the West, right? In the future, if the old Wu family wins the world, he may become the emperor! My brother and I can't afford to delay his great future! Mr. Zu, you don't want to delay the second son, right? ”

"This" Zu Zeqing immediately realized how beneficial this matter was!

Wu Sangui is old, and Wu Yingxiong is not young anymore. Maybe twenty years later, it will be this Wu Shifan who is sitting in the court hall of Beijing City!

Although Wang Zhongxiao participated in forcing Wu Shilin to death, he can be said to have the grace of saving Wu Shifan and the grace of reconstruction. If Wu Shifan is really bent on protecting him, no one else will do it.

Deal. Just revise history and say that Wu Shilin was not forced to death by Wang Zhongxiao?

And this matter is also of great benefit to Zu Zeqing!

Wang Jizhen said: "Zu Zongrong, you guarded the three mansions of Gao, Lei, and Lian until the king of the west entered Beijing, how much credit can you have?" Can you seal a marquis? But if you protect the future emperor and return to the prince of the West, that is, my father-in-law. How much credit is that? What a job to escort! Besides, what's the use of your thousands of people in Guangdong? Guangdong can't decide that the world belongs to the vast war of Huguang and the war between Shaanxi and Gansu, which is the key to the belonging of the world. If the prince of the West can take Huguang, not only will the world of the King of the West be stable, but the future of the prince will also be stable. Zu Zongrong, if you lead thousands of elite soldiers to protect the grandson of the King of the West, and suddenly enter Hunan when the two armies of Wu and Qing are fighting, this is the final word!

What do you think? Mr. Zu, why don't you give us the three mansions of Gao, Lei, and Lian, and then protect my brother-in-law to go north to Hunan? ”
