Chapter 202: Reconcile the accounts first, has anyone ever seen the real Aobai? (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)
"Have a feast? Can the surnamed Wang be tricked? ”
"Isn't it, the surname Wang is cunning, how can he be killed by a Hongmen banquet?"
Shang Zhixin and Shang Shuying, the two brothers and sisters, still have a bit of brains, and after listening to Liu Jinzhong's strategy, they all feel unreliable.
Liu Jinzhong seemed to have known the reaction of the two siblings for a long time, and said with a grin: "This Hongmen banquet is set up by us, Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao will definitely not be fooled." But what if Wang Shirong comes forward? ”
"Wang Shirong came forward?" Shang Zhixin shook his head, "It's difficult, Wang Shirong has been in Guangzhou for a few days, and he has sent several waves of envoys to Wang Fuchen in Zhaoqing and Wang Zhongxiao in Foshan, but they haven't even replied!" ”
Shang Shuying frowned and sighed: "Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao are really tough, and no one will give face!" How good is that? ”
"No, no, no," Liu Jinzhong waved his hand, "It's not that Wang Fuchen doesn't give Wang Shirong face, but the prince and the prince are still not clear. If your Shang family does not officially take refuge in the West King for a day, then Wang Shirong is a soothing envoy sent by the West King to Guangdong, why should he mediate the conflict between the Shang and Wang families? Shang and Wang are not completely the courtiers of the King of the West! ”
"This." Shang Zhixin frowned, as if he was thinking hard.
"Brother Liu, do you mean that my Shang family has to rebel with Wu Sangui in order to coax Wang Fuchen to take the bait?" Shang Shuying's brows furrowed even tighter, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?" ”
Liu Jinzhong said with a smile: "Sister Shuying, you misunderstood, how could I persuade your eldest brother to rebel?" I just suggested that he pretend to rebel in order to win the trust of Wang Shirong and Wang Fuchen, and then set up a Hongmen banquet to take down Wang Fuchen in one fell swoop! ”
"Can this rebellion be faked?"
"Yes, how can you pretend to be a rebellion?"
Shang Zhixin and Shang Shuying, two brothers and sisters, are still a little hesitant about rebellion and pretending to rebel.
Among them, Shang Zhixin really wanted to rebel, but there were also troops loyal to the Qing Dynasty in Guangzhou, such as Zhu Guozhi and Li Lang, who also led 2,000 people to help the Shang family defend the city, and Shang Shuying brought hundreds of people from the Xushun Mansion were also loyal to the Qing Dynasty, that is, there were still loyal to Shang Kexi and Shang Zhixiao within the Shang Domain.
If Shang Zhixin openly rebelled and turned to Wu Sangui, would anyone among Zhu Guozhi, Li Yan, Shang Kexi, Shang Zhixiao, and Shang Shuying fall to Wang Fuchen?
Although Wang Fuchen also revealed the opposite, as long as he did not publicly raise the anti-flag, then he would still be the governor of Liangguang in the Qing Dynasty!
It doesn't take much, one or two people defect and make trouble in Guangzhou City, and Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao's people are about to enter Guangzhou City!
Moreover, Wu Sangui can't spare his hand to support Shang Zhixin in Guangdong, Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao want to rob hard, Wu Sangui has nothing to do, maybe he will pinch his nose and admit it directly, as long as Wang Fuchen's father and son can claim to Wu Sangui after taking Guangdong.
Therefore, Shang Zhixin always hesitated on the issue of opposing the Qing Dynasty.
And Shang Shuying is more inclined to continue to be the "small domain" of the Qing Dynasty, and the "Xushun Mansion" she is in charge of is actually an existence similar to the four major domains (Pingxi, Pingnan, Jingnan, and Dingnan), but the scale is much smaller, with only five auxiliary leaders. The actual territory occupied is half of the Chaozhou capital city - there is a wooden fence in the Chaozhou capital city, which divides the city into two, half of which belongs to the Shun Mansion and half to Liu Jinzhong, the chief soldier of Chaozhou Town.
If there is no cover of the Qing Dynasty, with the strength of the Duke of Xushun, let alone keeping the Mansion, it will be difficult to protect a Xietai Yamen, so maybe Liu Jinzhong will swallow it. Although Shang Shuying has already gotten along with Liu Jinzhong, she keeps saying that she wants to marry Liu Jinzhong, and she will use the Xushun Mansion as a dowry. But that's just a retreat, if the big tree of Pingnan Wangfu is really cut down by Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao, then it is impossible for the Xushun Mansion to be maintained by just five leaders. Merging with Chaozhen is the only way out.
She is sleeping with Liu Jinzhong now, but it is just for her husband's family. That is, to pay a down payment on the back road of the Shun Mansion, this should be regarded as a rare chaste martyr, right?
Liu Jinzhong took in the expressions of the two brothers and sisters, and the performance of these two people was similar to what he thought. He smiled and said, "This is the opposite, it has to be made like this, no, it has to be pretended like this." First of all, we have to pretend to arrest Mingzhu, maybe Zhu Futai and Li Junmen, and hand them over to Wang Qincha!
Secondly, we have to grow and change our clothes, and play the banner of President Xiwang.
Third, after we have done these things, we can ask Wang Qin to come forward to preside over the two vast bureaus, and divide the territory of the two Guangxi for the Wang family, the Shang family, the Sun family, the Ma family, the Guo family, the Shen family, and the districts!
You can also write a personal letter to Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao, expressing your willingness to give up Guangzhou Mansion and only retain the territory of Shaozhou, Huizhou, Nanxiong, and Lianzhou. Although the Wang family's mind must be to take Guangdong entirely, but if they can win Guangfu without a fight, and they can get Wu Sangui's canonization, most of the Wang family's father and son will be fooled.
By the way, we can also ask Fu Honglie, the prefect of Guangzhou, to come forward to be this messenger, Fu Honglie is Kong Sizhen's coat, and Kong Sizhen must believe his words. Moreover, Kong Sizhen must want his son's King of Dingnan to be canonized by Wu Sangui, so he will definitely persuade Wang Fuchen to come to Guangzhou Mansion to discuss with us about dividing the territory."
At this time, Mingzhu, the mediation minister of the Great Qing Dynasty, had been placed in the palace of King Pingnan.
Shang Kexi has already lost power, but Shang Zhixin, a filial son, has not yet been promoted to a filial son, so he still saved enough face for Shang Kexi, and let him live in the luxurious Pingnan Palace, and let Shang Zhixiao also live in the palace, serve him closely, and eat the old professionally.
After Mingzhu entered the city, he refused to go to the pavilion arranged for him by Shang Zhixin, and insisted on seeing King Pingnan. So Shang Zhixin asked Zhu Guozhi, the governor of Guangdong, and Li Lan, the governor of Guangdong, to accompany Mingzhu to the Pingnan Palace.
After asking Shang Kexi, the half-blind and disadvantaged king of Pingnan, to say goodbye, Shang Kexi was afraid that Mingzhu would be tied up by his rebel son Shang Zhixin and handed over to Wu Sangui, so he offered to let Mingzhu live in his palace.
As soon as he settled down here, when he was staring at Shang Kexi, Shang Zhixiao, Zhu Guozhi, and Li Lan in the flower hall of the palace, Shang Kexi's military advisor Jin Guang came to report that Wang Shirong, the king of the West, asked to see the Nalan Pearl of the Great Qing Dynasty.
"What?" Shang Kexi was a little annoyed when he heard this, "Wu Sangui's lackeys dare to come too?" Hit the king! ”
He only dares to say "fight out" now, and he doesn't dare to say "hack him to death" Although Wu Sangui is an anti-thief, he is only anti-Qing, not against the king of Pingnan! Not to mention that he will not be the main one for the people of Guangdong, it is still a happy old life!
"Lord Wang," Jin Guang didn't move out to chase people, but stood there and said to Shang Kexi, "Wang Qincha said. He wanted to ask us and Mingxiang about the situation of Aobai! ”
"What?" Shang Kexi was stunned, "Aobai? Didn't Ao Bai go to Lianzhou? You should have already set off for Hanzhong by now, right? ”
"Lord Wang," Jin Guang said, "that's what the lowly post said to Wang Qincha. But Wang Qincha told him that he had not seen Ao Bai in Guangxi or Lianzhou. And as far as he knows, the people over there in Lianzhou haven't really seen Aobai! ”
"What?" Mingzhu was also stunned, "Didn't the people over there in Lianzhou come all the way from Wenzhou Ruian?" How could they not have seen Aobai? ”
"Ming Xiang," Jin Guang said with a smile, "Xia Guan thinks this matter is very strange. Why don't you meet this Wang Qincha and reconcile it with him on the issue of worship. ”
"Reconciliation." Mingzhu wanted to refuse, but it was a matter of worship, and it was not trivial, "Okay, then it's a pair!" ”
"That's right!" Shang Kexi had no choice but to nod and say, "Then please ask Wang Wangqin to send it!" ”
It's a lot of fun!
The Qin Cha of the Qing Dynasty and the Qin Cha of the King of the West of the Ming Dynasty are going to reconcile the matter of Ao Bai in the Shang Kexi Mansion of the King of Pingnan!
After a while, Wang Qincha came, still dressed as a Ming civil official - the hood was actually used to cover the braided head, and now that Wang Qincha's "hair" has grown, naturally there is no need for a hood.
After being led into the flower hall by Jin Guang, Wang Qincha saw Ming Qincha sitting there angrily, so he smiled and arched his hand and said: "Mingxiang, you are a Qincha, and I am also a Qincha, then we are Qincha today, so we don't need to be polite and forgive each other!" ”
"Humph!" Mingzhu said very politely, "This official is the Qin of the Qing Emperor, what are you, and you dare to be on an equal footing with this official?" Look, is there a place for you here? ”
Wang Shirong smiled, his eyes swept in the flower hall, and found that there was no chair prepared for him here This is the flower hall, not the lobby, so there are not so many rules, Shang Kexi, Shang Zhixiao, Mingzhu, Zhu Guozhi, Li Rot, and Jin Guang all have chairs, and he is standing alone!
That's not appropriate!
However, this also couldn't help Wang Shirong, I saw him striding up to Li Yan with a Shang Fang sword, and glared at him: "Young man, let go!" ”
Li Luo glanced at the sword in Wang Shirong's hand - this is said to be Shang Fang's sword! It was given by Wu Sangui! You can cut it first and then play it, although Li Rotan is still an official of the Qing Dynasty, but who knows what will happen in the future?
Thinking of this, he really stood up, and muttered in his mouth: "The ass is a little painful, this chair is a little awkward, I'll still stand!" ”
Wang Shirong saw that the chair was vacant, so he sat down, then glanced at Mingzhu, and then said: "Mingxiang, let's stop talking nonsense, let's get straight to the point. Here in our Xiwang Mansion, there has never been any worship! Since the fight against Aobai is bad, no one under the Xiwang Domain has ever seen Aobai! You have always said that Ao Bai voted for the king of the west, but what is the real evidence? ”
"What? What did you say? Mingzhu was shocked, "Ao Bai is not here with you?" It's impossible for Wang Jizhen and Lu Yifeng to see Ao worship in Yunnan with their own eyes! ”
"Lu Yifeng hasn't seen Aobai again," Wang Shirong said, "Wang Jizhen may have seen him, but don't you believe his words?" ”
"This."
Wang Shirong said with a smile: "So far, is it still necessary for our king of the West to deceive on the issue of worship?" King Xi asked me to check this matter just because I was wonderful, why was it rumored everywhere that I had voted for him? Who created this rumor? ”
"This rumor" Mingzhu actually didn't suspect that Ao Bai had taken refuge in Wu Sangui, but everyone said so at the time, why did he bother to be a maverick?
Li Yan also remembered that something was wrong at this time, he frowned and said, "That Xiangdao and Shenzhen's Ao Bai are not quite right. It is said that there is a worship, but who has seen it? Even if I have seen it, it is a glance from afar, and no one has ever seen it closely! The envoys we sent to Wu Sanwei's army have never seen the Ao worship deity! ”
Wang Shirong said: "There is no worship on Wu Siye's side at all, where are you going to see you?" ”
"What about the Ao Bai in Suzhou?" Mingzhu asked again.
Wang Shirong spread his hands: "We don't know anything about Suzhou!" ”
"You don't know? What about the third prince Zhu? Is that son-in-law of King Xi the third prince of Zhu? ”
"It's not!" Wang Shirong shook his head, "Not at all. That is, after one of the princes' old age, there was a marriage contract in the early years. The prince found the daughter of an old man under the domain to adopt him as an adopted daughter and married Wang Yongkang. He also gave him some money and let him go back to Suzhou. Somehow, you took him as the third prince of Zhu, and even made a case of Ao Bai and the third prince Zhu joining forces to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty in Suzhou! ”
"This" Mingzhu frowned tightly, at this time, if he didn't know that someone was playing tricks, then he, a scholar, would be a big fool.
Who's the ghost?
Could it be Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao?
Aren't they the ones who were responsible for hunting down Ao Bai that day?
Just when Mingzhu was about to come into contact with the truth, there was a sudden commotion outside the flower hall, and someone seemed to be shouting: "Lord Shizi, what are you doing here?" Lord Shizi, why are you dressed like this? Why did you bring so many soldiers! ”
Hearing these words, all the people in the flower hall couldn't sit still and all stood up, but before they could really think about what to do, they saw Shang Zhixin, who was wearing a regimental collar robe and a red hood, and Liu Jinzhong, who was also dressed in the same way, and Shang Shuying, who had changed into a Han women's costume and was also carrying a sword in her hand, led a group of soldiers with red scarves and round-necked robes to break in.
Seeing Shang Zhixin, Liu Jinzhong, and Shang Shuying's dresses, everyone in the flower hall except Wang Shirong was suddenly cold.
This Shang Zhixin has rebelled again!
Last time, it was a happy rebellion to create his father, and this time it is a reversal to transform the Qing Dynasty!
Shang Zhixiao hurried to Shang Kexi's ear and told Shang Zhixin, Liu Jinzhong, and Shang Shuying about the rebellion together.
"Shuying, why are you doing the opposite?" Shang Kexi was a little puzzled, and rubbed his eyes vigorously while asking, as if he wanted to see Shang Shuying's rebellion with his own eyes.
"Dad," Shang Shuying didn't care about Shang Kexi's name "Ama", "Now, if our family doesn't follow the West King Long Live and oppose the Qing Dynasty, I'm afraid there will be no place in the whole of Guangdong, do you still want a big family and hundreds of thousands of people under the clan to go to Hunan and Jiangxi to ask for food?" ”
Liu Jinzhong said with a smile: "Old prince, it is not easy for the people of the Shang family and the peace clan to go to Hunan and Jiangxi. Guangzhou has been surrounded on three sides and there are many people, and it is difficult to say whether the last point of life is a way to live, maybe it is to surround three queyi! Now the only way to survive is to vote for the king of the west, and then ask Wang Qin to help the Shang family come forward to discuss with the Wang family. In this way, at most one Guangzhou Mansion will be cut! Wang Qincha, do you think this discussion can be successful? ”
Wang Shirong also has a feeling of being hit in the head by happiness. He didn't expect that he could be so easy to wrap up the forces of Pingnan Wangfu, Xushun Mansion and Chaozhen Liu Jinzhong!
Even if the Pingnan Wangfu cedes Guangzhou, there is still one government and two states at hand, Liu Jinzhong and Shang Shuying together have a Chaozhou, if these three are connected again, Huizhou will probably not run.
And the Pingnan Palace, the Xushun Mansion, and Liu Jinzhong returned to Shun, plus half of the Guangzhou Mansion (half of which was already surnamed Wang), Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao Most of them had to take refuge in the West King.
The territory of the two provinces suddenly returned to the West Wangfu!
Then the territory of Xiwang can have two Guangzhou, Huguang (still missing a part), Yunnan, Guichuan, and Shaanxi and Gansu, rounding it off, that is the territory of seven or eight provinces, and half of the country is almost the same.
In addition, Wang Zhongxiao now controls Foshan, the world's number one iron smelting town, and can also import fire and sulfur through Macao. With the firearms and gunpowder supplied by the Wang family, it shouldn't take too much time for the West King to grab the remaining half of the country, right?
Wang Shirong said: This founding hero of mine. It's stable!
Thinking of this, he hurriedly patted his chest and said, "No problem, as long as I come forward to mediate, there is nothing impossible in this matter." Still." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Mingzhu, who was standing there stunned, "But you have to catch Mingzhu for me first!" King Xi still wants to use him to exchange for the wife and children of the prince! ”
As soon as Shang Zhixin heard this, he hurriedly beckoned left and right: "Someone is coming, quickly take down the Tartar of Nalan Pearl for me!" ”
"Yes!"
Liu Jinzhong shouted, and walked up to catch the pearl.
Mingzhu is also a royal guard, he still has a bit of martial arts, and he has also practiced wrestling, and when he saw Liu Jinzhong wanting to arrest himself, he immediately put on a stand to resist, and actually scuffled with Liu Jinzhong.
However, Shang Zhixin brought the pro-soldiers who did not speak of martial virtues, seeing that Liu Jinzhong couldn't take the pearl for a while, he went up to the two to help, one of them grabbed Mingzhu's pigtail and pulled it hard, and the other person was towards Mingzhu's legs and stomach is two feet, this time Mingzhu can not stand, and he knelt down for Liu Jinzhong, kneeling too hard, and knocking his knees, which is called a pain, and immediately screamed.
This time, Mingzhu had no ability to resist, and was soon captured alive by Liu Jinzhong and others, but Mingzhu's mouth was not honest, and he was "cursed" there, "You won't succeed, the emperor will not let Wu Yingxiong's wife and children go in order to redeem me. They're dead! Woo, I'm going to die too! ”
Shang Zhixincai didn't care about the life or death of Wu Yingxiong's sons and Mingzhu, he just smiled and said to Wang Shirong: "Wang Qincha, do you think you can invite Wang Fuchen to come to Guangzhou for a while?" ”
