When Duolong heard Li Zhongshan say this, his face immediately changed, and he asked with a smile on his face: "Good apprentice, do you mean that the old Wu family is also coming to Xuanwumen?" ”

"Isn't it sooner or later?" Li Zhongshan sighed and said with a wry smile, "In the troubled times, who doesn't have a loyal and filial son?" Aren't you also in the Qing Dynasty all generations of fathers and sons, brothers, friends, brothers, and brothers, and lords? ”

"Yes, yes, good apprentice, you're right!" Duolong nodded again and again, his nose was sour, and his eyes were full of tears, "To be a teacher is the foolish and loyal slave of the Qing Dynasty!" Unfortunately, I was unlucky and almost died. Now although his life has been saved, he has lost all that bit of money. Don't tell you anything, your little teachers and girls are gone, and it is estimated that all of them will be slaughtered by Lu Sanhao's soldiers! Well, what are you talking to you about? You've never seen them."

In fact, Li Zhongshan has seen two little masters, a few days ago the third prince Zhu knew that Yang Xiaohuan had been pregnant for a few months, and it was not convenient for him to have a big belly, and he wanted to send two "little masters" who were too late to be pampered to General Li to enjoy!

However, Li Yat-sen is now one of the "Four Gentlemen of Vision". Great Confucian! How can you accept your "little master" as a concubine? This is not something that a virtuous Confucian can do.

Duolong didn't know that his little wives had been promoted, and he wiped his tears and said to Li Zhongshan: "Good apprentice, as a teacher, he is now a lonely man, and his family is surrounded by walls. If you want to turn over the book, you can look at this one, you have to help the porcelain, don't have an accident! This is not my business alone, your eldest brother Yang Sange also pointed to you to help him! ”

As he spoke, he gave Doctor Le Shen a look, and Doctor Le quickly took out an envelope and handed it to Li Zhongshan.

Li Zhongshan took the envelope and saw that it was Yang Qilong's handwritten letter. He quickly tore open the envelope, took out the letter from it, unfolded it, and read it at a glance. It's just an ordinary letter home.

Yang Qilong told Li Zhongshan in the letter that he was a famous family, and his ancestors not only replaced the Ming Dynasty for generations, but also the envoy of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the general, the governor of the capital, and Yang Zhong, the founding prince of Chenliu County!

Yang Zhong's descendants, of course, are loyal ministers!

So Li Zhongshan must be kind to Yang Xiaohuan and can't treat her as an ordinary concubine. And then there was no more! That's all for the content of this letter, you know it all!

Li Zhongshan didn't say anything, just folded the letter and stuffed it back into the envelope, and then stuffed the envelope into his sleeve pocket.

After receiving the letter, he pondered for a while before he said to Duolong: "Master, I can't hide it, I really can't send reinforcements here, but I can squeeze out 3,000 flintlock guns, 12 bronze cannons, plus 10,000 sets of armor and banners of the Huaixi Red Turban Army, and exchange 500 big young mares with Brother Yang." In this way, Yang Sange was able to let his Zhili regiment change into the clothes and armor of the Huaixi Red Scarf, and under the banner of the Huaixi Red Scarf, he pretended to be the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty to scare Kangxi's army. Is that okay? ”

"Yes, yes, great!" Doron nodded repeatedly, "This is a good solution. As long as it scares people! ”

In fact, Fuquan's side also has concerns about the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty. It's easy to please God, but it's hard to send God! What if the Ming army doesn't leave after it comes? Even if there are only 10,000 people, when the time comes, a black hand will suddenly come, find a city with mountains and seas behind it, and don't leave, what do you let Fuquan do?

So Li Zhongshan's method is really good!

And his asking price is not high, but it is 500 big mares with young children, and it seems that Li Zhongshan wants to set up horse farms in Jiangnan and Huainan.

But this horse is not a pig or a rabbit, and can be littered one litter at a time. Horses are born in one child, and the pregnancy time is long. Relying on five hundred mares to give birth, it was difficult to form a cavalry corps sufficient to support the Northern Expedition for ten years

"Good!" Li Zhongshan asked with a smile, "Master, Doctor Leshen, which of you can sign the contract voucher on behalf of Yang San and my Ming General's Mansion?" ”

"Old decay can represent Yang Sanlang," Doctor Le Shen then pointed at Duolong, "Your master can represent the regent." ”

"That's good," Li Zhongshan said with a smile, "Then we'll sign the contract later. I can ship it first! I believe in the credibility of Yang San and Uncle Fu! ”

In fact, he just didn't believe it, so he could only ship muskets, uniforms, flags, and artillery first, all of which were in stock, and Fuquan and Yang Qilong were in a hurry to use them, and five hundred big mares were not so easy to find.

In addition, even if it is delivered immediately, it will not be used for a while. Because there were no suitable stallions on the southeast side, the horses equipped with cavalry had to be cleaned at a young age, and there were no tools for planting. There are more than a dozen stallions in Macao that can be used for cloth breeding, and they can be divided into ten or eight to come to the southeast, but it will take time to transport them.

Duo Long wrinkled his brows again at this time: "Shikai, this Wu Yingxiong is over there"

"Master, don't worry, it will be arranged!" Li Zhongshan smiled, "That's my father-in-law!" Moreover, he and Kangxi have a grudge against their son, while Fuquan has no grudge against him. Tell me, who would he be willing to help? You go back and tell Fuquan that if Wu Sangui sends Wu Shicong to support Kangxi, then he has to be careful. If it is Wu Shifan who sends troops, then he can rest assured and bold! ”

"Good! I'll just go and talk to the regent! Doron laughed, "I'm going to win this bet, and I'm going to turn over!" ”

Unlike the situation in history when the old Wu family was in danger until the end, embattled, and whoever sat on the dragon chair left by Lao Wu would definitely die, now Wu Sangui, the son of Zhou Tianzi, is "very beautiful"!

The situation is good, not a small good!

Now that the old Wu family's four parts of the world have been stabilized, at least it is a family country for decades, maybe it can be divided into one Wu and create a dynasty of two or three hundred years!

In this situation, can the "built" and "Shimin" of the old Wu family not be "brothers, friends and brothers"?

Moreover, there have always been two gangs within Wu Sangui's group - the Guanning Brotherhood and the Shaanxi Liukou Gang.

The Guanning Brotherhood is the old brother of Wu Sangui, if Xia Guoxiang, Hu Guozhu, Wu Guogui, Zhang Guozhu, Guo Zhuangtu and others are all old brothers of Guanning. Most of these Guan Ning brothers knew Wu Yingxiong since childhood, and Wu Yingxiong was also relatively close to them.

They are all brothers who know their roots!

Moreover, Wu Yingqi also succeeded Wu Sangui's brother Wu Sanfeng as a son when he was a child, so in the eyes of these Guan Ning brothers, Wu Yingxiong is the heir of the Wu family.

In addition, since they are old brothers, of course, they all occupy a good position in advance, so they naturally do not want a power reshuffle within the Wu family group. Therefore, Wu Yingxiong, the crown prince, ascended the throne step by step, and then passed the throne to Wu Shifan, the grandson, as long as it was smooth and stable.

Although Wu Yingxiong, the crown prince, is "bearish", his grandson Wu Shifan is quite capable and looks like a Ming Jun.

And the opposition to the Guanning Brotherhood is the Shaanxi Thieves Gang, the backbone of which is Li Benshen, Ma Bao, Ma Weixing, Gao Qilong, Wu Zisheng, Wang Hui, Liu Zhifu and others, these people are not with Li Zicheng or with Zhang Xianzhong, all surrendered when Wu Sangui pacified Yungui. Because Wu Yingxiong had already been a hostage in Beijing at that time, these old thieves didn't know the eldest son very well, but they were quite familiar with the second son, Wu Yingqi.

After the Guanning Brotherhood confirmed that they supported the eldest prince Wu Yingxiong, these Shaanxi thieves naturally gathered around Wu Yingqi, who was ordered to go out of Qishan to collect Ganxi - although this Wu Yingqi failed to catch the big cake of recovering Guanzhong, but those Shaanxi thieves are not from Guanzhong, they are either from northern Shaanxi or Gansu, and they are all from bitter backgrounds. After Wu Yingqi led the troops to collect the barren land of Shaanxi, they all returned to their hometowns one by one, and then brought a large group of fellow villagers to help the old Wu family fight the world!

Therefore, since Wu Zhouping won Shaanxi and Gansu, the strength of Wu Yingqi and the Shaanxi-Gansu Bandit Gang behind him has obviously expanded, so the more these gentlemen in Shaanxi and Gansu look at their Qin King Wu Yingqi, the more they look like Qin King Li Shimin!

And Wu Shicong, the son of "Wu Shimin", has greater ability than his father, so he doesn't have to worry about any "Wu Zhi" and "Wu Chengqian".

So after these gentlemen from Shaanxi and Gansu entered Chang'an City, many of them still asked people where this Xuanwu Gate was?

What does this mean?

And Wu Sangui himself naturally knows about the two groups of people eating dogs at the bottom. But he is also quite embarrassed, and when he is the emperor, he has to have checks and balances! You can't give everything to the boss, everything to the old brother Guan Ning. Otherwise, what if the boss is not filial? What if the old brother Guan Ning is disobedient?

These old brothers of Guanning were a little "afraid of the flag" back then, and if they were to be used back then, Kangxi might be able to help the boss Wu Yingxiong to the position of King of Pingxi in advance, so Wu Sangui raised the people of the Shaanxi-Gansu Thieves Gang who were not very afraid of the flag and were very dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty.

Now it looks like it's the right step!

But now, how to balance these two sons and the two factions will test Wu Sangui's ability to balance, and if he is not careful, Wu Sangui will have to become "Wu Yuan" who is more wronged than Dou E!

In addition, there is another place that makes Wu Sangui a little uncertain, that is, what is the attitude of his eldest son Wu Yingxiong and eldest grandson Wu Shifan towards Li Zhongshan, the great general of the Ming Dynasty?

In the Chang'an Palace, Wu Sangui was summoning Shang Shuying, who had just arrived, with the crown prince Wu Yingxiong and the grandson Wu Shifan.

Shang Shuying knelt on a futon, crying and crying about the whole process of her monk Zhixin, Shang Zhijie, and Shang Zhiying's failed escape from the Mochou Lake Palace.

Wu Sangui was sympathetic, and shook his head and sighed from time to time, as if he was feeling sorry for the tragic death of the three brothers Shang Zhixin, Shang Zhijie, and Shang Zhiying. But the corner of the old man's eyes kept looking at his children and grandchildren.

Wu Yingxiong is soft-hearted, and he has been a friend of the monk for many years, and now that his friend has died tragically, of course he is also very sad, and his tears are also flowing down.

After Shang Shuying finished crying, Wu Sangui sighed and said to Wu Yingxiong: "Boss, Shuying is now the father's daughter and your sister-in-law. You send her back to the pavilion first, and then arrange a princess's mansion for her, and then all her supplies will come according to the princess's standards! ”

"Yes, Father!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Wu Yingxiong and Shang Shuying received the order, thanked each other, and then left the hall together.

Wu Sangui then waved his hand again, "Except for Shi Fan, stand down!" ”

The palace maids and guards who were waiting soon disappeared from Wu Sangui's field of vision, and in the huge palace, only the ancestors and grandsons were left.

"Shifan, what do you think?"

"Grandpa," Wu Shifan said, "Li Shikai is Xiao Gang's husband, his grandson's benefactor, and his grandson's beloved relatives and friends!" ”

"Oh." Wu Sangui nodded, "And then?" ”

"If he is the general of my Great Zhou, my grandson should regard him as a sibling. But he is the general of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Wu Sangui nodded, "Da Ming is a great general in power!" ”

"Exactly!" Wu Shifan said, "So he is the opponent of his grandson who fights for the world, and may be the biggest enemy!" ”

"Good!" Wu Sangui nodded with satisfaction, "To fight for the world, we must first divide the enemy and me!" If he were our man, it would be all well and good, but he is not, not only is he not, and there is no way we can win him over. Because he himself is the lord! But how do we get rid of him? ”

"Grandpa Huang," Wu Shifan said, "to eliminate him, we must first paralyze him, and we must not let my heart be vigilant!" ”

"How to paralyze?" Wu Sangui asked.

"Grandpa, please look at this." Wu Shifan took out the handwritten letter written by Li Yat-sen to himself and handed it to Wu Sangui with both hands.

Wu Sangui picked up the crystal reading glasses on the desk, put them on the bridge of his nose, and then took the letter paper and looked at it slowly: "Oh, he wants Xiao Gang to serve?" But Xiaogang is now the princess of Jiading! Princess Da Zhou gave him a concubine, is this appropriate? ”

"It's not suitable," Wu Shifan said, "so grandpa wants to marry her to Li Jiqing. But the grandson called the shots and sent her to Huaixi to Li Zhongshan! ”

"This person is very favorable!" Wu Sangui nodded, noncommittal, and continued to read the letter, "Oh, he also wants you to fight for the opportunity to send troops to help Kangxi. Do you want to go? ”

"I don't want to." Wu Shifan replied very simply, "This opportunity should be given to Shuangyu." ”

"Double jade" is Wu Shijue's trade name. This Wu Shijue's identity is a bit special, Wu Shijue is a native of Liaodong, of course, a figure from the Guanning faction. But he has been Wu Shicong's follower since he was a child!

So letting Wu Shijue lead his troops to support Kangxi seems to be an ambiguous plan.

Wu Shifan explained: "Grandpa, if Sun Er leads the troops to support Kangxi, it is difficult to say whether Kangxi dares to fight a decisive battle with Fuquan." And if Brother Ruiyu is allowed to lead the troops, Fuquan may not be able to hold out. Only when Shuangyu sends troops can they kill each other. ”

"Ruiyu" is Wu Shicong's trade name, in Wu Zhoujun, people call Wu Shicong "Yushuai", which shows the weight of his prestige! If Fuquan heard that Wu Sangui sent a "Wu Yushuai" to support Kangxi, then he would probably have to hold on.

If Wu Yushuai is too capable of fighting and let Kangxi win easily, won't the Qing Kingdom have one less consumption?

"That's a good plan!" Wu Sangui nodded with satisfaction, "Then how do you reply to Li Zhongshan?" ”

"Let's just say that Kong Sizhen asked grandpa to marry Xiaogang to Li Jiqing, grandpa, you have agreed. Therefore, Sun Er could only personally escort Xiao Gang to Huaixi, so he couldn't rush to the Qing Kingdom in time, so he had to let Shuangyu lead 20,000 troops to help! ”

"Okay, this favor sells well!" Wu Sangui laughed, "Shi Fan, when it comes to fighting, you are not as good as Shi Cong, and even not as good as Shi Jue, the two of them can really fight a tough battle, you can't." But compared to being a human being, they are not as good as you! ”

Wu Shifan smiled bitterly and said, "If it weren't for this world of great controversy, Sun Er would really be willing to be siblings with Shikai." ”

Wu Sangui nodded: "You can treat people sincerely, and you can distinguish between friend and foe, this is your greatest advantage!" Well, that's good! This is better than grandpa! Although your grandfather can treat people sincerely, sometimes he really can't tell the difference between friend and foe! ”

As he spoke, Wu Sangui lowered his tone: "Shi Fan, your grandson position, no one can shake it!"

Even your mother-in-law, Princess Jianning, can't, although her two sons are sisters-in-law, they are half of Aixin Jueluo, and I can't pass on the Great Zhou world to Huang Taiji's grandson! As long as I tell everyone about this, I believe that no one will support them to compete with you for a seat. ”

It turned out that Wu Shifan's current position was not very stable, he was not only threatened by "Wu Yushuai", but also threatened by his two younger brothers.

Because Princess Jianning was released by Fuquan, and then brought them to Chang'an, and Wu Yingxiong and Princess Jianning have an excellent relationship - Jianning is not only his wife, but also he "brought up"!

Therefore, Wu Shifan is likely to set up the son of Princess Jianning as his successor.

Although these two children are still young, they are sisters-in-law after all!

And they are not "too young", one is already twelve years old, and the other is ten years old.

Considering that Wu Yingxiong is still only the crown prince, by the time Wu Yingxiong ascends the throne, these two sisters-in-law should grow up and can take over as princes.

Therefore, Wu Yingxiong is the successor of Wu Shifan, which is to abolish the heir! It is only right to set up the eldest of the two sons-in-law.

And Princess Jianning's eldest son sacrificed his life in order to cover Wu Shifan's escape - although he didn't do this, his life could not be saved, but Wu Shifan owed Princess Jianning's mother and son too much favor after all, and he was embarrassed to compete with them for the throne.

But if Wu Sangui supports Wu Shifan, then Princess Jianning will have no choice, because she and her two sons also have something that is not hard, and their bloodline is not good!

They all have the blood of Aixin Jueluo!

Princess Jianning is the daughter of Huang Taiji, and those two children are the grandsons of Huang Taiji. Co-authored to overthrow Huang Taiji's grandson, and then replace Huang Taiji's grandson to power?

That doesn't seem right!

And Wu Shifan's mother is a Han girl, so he is completely Han, and there will be no problem for him to take over the throne.

Therefore, as long as Wu Sangui talks about the bloodline of Princess Jianning's two sons, then Wu Shifan's position can be stabilized.

After all, everyone has created a rebellion against Aixin Jueluo, and it is not appropriate to set up a prince with Aixin Jueluo blood.

However, Wu Shifan can't talk about the bloodlines of his two younger brothers everywhere, which seems ungrateful. This big villain still has to let Wu Sangui come, he is already full of evil anyway!
