Wushan City, the residence of the governor of Sichuan.

Since last year, after holding on to Wushan and defeating the Ming army under the command of Li Laiheng and Liu Tichun, Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan, became ill from hard work, so that he could not personally supervise the generals to participate in the suppression of Li Laiheng's troops in Maolu Mountain, the three provincial capitals, and could only hand over all the Sichuan green battalions to the command of Admiral Zheng Jiaolin.

In this regard, Liu Hanchen, the deputy general of the Chinese army under Li Guoying, reminded the governor, saying that Zheng Jiaolin was from Wu Sangui's domain, and the current imperial court was afraid of Wu Sangui's rebellion, so if all the soldiers and horses of the Sichuan Green Battalion were handed over to Zheng to command, Wu Sangui would really rebel in the future, and the Sichuan Green Battalion would respond to Wu Sangui under the leadership of Zheng Jiaolin.

In this way, Sichuan Province must be owned by Wu Sangui, and then the Wu army can go out of Sichuan to capture Hanzhong, and the troops will be directed to Xi'an.

The northwest is shaking, and North China is also shaking!

It was really a word, when Wu Sangui raised troops in the future, it was Zheng Jiaolin who took the lead in responding, and the whole province of Sichuan was owned by Wu Sangui without a war.

The Qing court ordered Duoduo's son, Dong'e to unify the Manchu soldiers to quell the rebellion, but Dong'e and the Manchurian Eight Banners were afraid of the battle, and they huddled in Xi'an and did not dare to fight the rebels at all.

If it were not for Wang Fuchen's foresight and missed the opportunity, and the Qing court saw that the Manchus could not use it, it promptly used Zhao Liangdong, Daniel Zhang, Wang Jinbao and other northwestern Han generals, and the world would not have been owned by the Qing Dynasty.

Only for now, who can know what will happen next.

Liu Hanchen was born in the banner people, loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and out of consideration for the overall situation, he did not want Wu Sangui's people to control the Sichuan Green Camp.

Li Guoying only smiled bitterly after hearing this, and neither responded to the rumors that Wu Sangui might rebel, nor did he take back Zheng Jiaolin's military power.

Liu Hanchen was puzzled, and his colleague Cao Chunzhong, the general soldier of Chengdu, explained his confusion: "If the imperial court is really jealous of the king of Pingxi, the governor will also be suspicious." ”

The reason is that Wu Sangui can have today, thanks to the governor also.

The Qing court's suspicion of Wu Sangui was not a matter of one or two days, as early as the Jiashen year, after Wu Sangui led the Qing army into the customs, it had already appeared.

In that year, Wu Sangui led his troops to pacify Shandong for the Qing court, and followed the British prince Azig to fight against Li Zicheng.

However, less than a year later, Wu Sangui was transferred back from the front line by the Qing court, and ordered him to lead his Guanning army out of Jinzhou.

What is the purpose of such an arrangement, Wu Sangui knows it in his heart, and he also knows it in the hearts of people all over the world.

Wu Sangui, who was wary of the Qing court, no longer mentioned any "revenge for the monarch's father", but turned the rudder, called Chongzhen "the old master", and repeatedly confessed that he was "loyal to the new dynasty".

After being idle in Jinzhou for three years, the green battalion in Guannei suddenly rebelled against the Qing Dynasty in large numbers, and the northwest was also full of smoke, and when the Qing Dynasty was in danger, the Qing court, which had no soldiers, reremembered Wu Sangui and transferred him to the same town as Li Guohan, the general of the Eight Banners, to kill the remnants of the anti-Qing rebels in the northwest.

Wu Sangui, who got the opportunity, cherished it, and also wanted to do his best for the Qing Dynasty, but he didn't expect that the northwest had just been pacified, and the Qing court unloaded the mill and killed the donkey to idle Wu Sangui again.

Although he still let his army be stationed in Hanzhong, everything must be under the orders of Li Guohan, the general of Dingxi.

Without the permission of the Qing court, Wu Sangui could not take a step out of Hanzhong.

It is equivalent to house arrest in disguise.

One ban for another four years.

Until the Great Western Army was born, the Qing army was completely defeated in the southwest and central and southern battlefields, and the Qing court had no choice but to use Wu Sangui again.

But this time the use of Wu Sangui was not the initiative of the Qing court, but the passivity.

It was Li Guoying, who was the governor of Sichuan at the time, who wrote a series of letters asking the Qing court to send Wu Sangui to lead the army into Sichuan!

This is why there was the later King of Pingxi, and there was now the Pingxi Domain in Yunnan, Yongzhen.

In short, Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan, is not only Wu Sangui's "benefactor", but also his "nobleman".

So if it is said that Wu Sangui will rebel now, how will Li Guoying deal with himself?

And what did the Qing court think of him?

If he hadn't vouched for Wu Sangui back then, the Qing court would have allowed Wu Sangui to sit all the way and be forced to crown him the prince.

Li Guoying knows the inside story.

Whether Wu Sangui will be opposed, he is really not sure, but there is one thing he is very sure of, that is, his life is short.

He was the chief soldier under Zuo Liangyu in the Ming Dynasty, and now he is sixty-five years old.

Lang Zhong also made it very clear about the Governor's illness, that is, it became a disease due to overwork, and it was difficult to regulate with medicine, so it could only be delayed through rest.

Although what Lang Zhong said is good, as long as he is good at life, it will not be a problem to live until ninety-nine.

Li Guoying counted in his stomach, and it would be great for his body to last for a year or two at most.

Therefore, whether Wu Sangui is against him or not, it has little to do with him.

It means that after I die, let it flood to the sky.

Li Guoying, who has a lot of style in the use of soldiers, judged that even if Wu Sangui wanted to rebel, it would be a few years later.

First, the rest of the Ming army has not yet been pacified, and this Ming army is the remnants of the Dashun army that has a deep blood feud with Wu Sangui.

He really dared to raise troops at this time, afraid that the remnants of the Dashun army would be able to "unite the Qing Dynasty to resist Wu"!

The second is that the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty are still very elite, and there are 200,000 armored people in Manchuria, Mongolia, and Han armies, so as to fundamentally drive hundreds of thousands of green battalions, how much capital can Wu Sangui have to withstand consumption?

Third, Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, and Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan, were both loyal to the Qing Dynasty.

Two kings, one town in Guangdong, one town in Fujian, if Wu Sangui dares to rebel with his family, he will be alone.

However, I heard rumors that the prince of Pingnan and Geng Jingzhong, the prince of Jingnan, are all domineering people, so it is difficult to say what will happen in the future.

In short, Li Guoying didn't want to think too much about it.

All I care about now is the name behind me.

If he can successfully suppress the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, he will always have the most outstanding achievements in the history books.

Recently, Admiral Zheng Jiaolin had a battle report, saying that the Han army of the Shaanxi Front was defeated by the Ming army and lost Du Min, the deputy capital of Manchuria.

Fortunately, Lao Mugang has been captured by Zheng Dubing, but it is a pity that the two thieves Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi have escaped.

In this regard, Li Guoying did not worry much.

The two big thieves, Yuan and Hao, broke through Wushan and rushed into Maolu Mountain, but they just ran from one Jedi to another.

Under the heavy siege of nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses in the three provinces, there was no need to fight hard to the death, only half a year after the siege, and the Ming army in Maolu Mountain collapsed.

Who would have thought that a few days later, Zheng Jiaolin hurriedly submitted a war report, saying that Jingxi General Mu Lima led 10,000 Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers to defeat at Huanglong Mountain, and he was also captured alive.

According to reliable sources, the first part of the Ming Army, under the leadership of the thief King Yaowu, broke through the defense line of the Huguang Qing Army and seemed to be heading towards Wuchang.

This surprised Li Guoying, who was ill.

Worried that the Qing army in Huguang was not enough to control the enemy, he intended to write to the imperial court to let the Sichuan army enter Huguang to suppress thieves.

In addition, he urgently wrote a letter to Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Huguang, requesting that the defense line of Maolu Mountain should not be lightly withdrawn, and only all parts of Huguang should be strictly ordered to defend the city.

The letter to Zhang Changgeng was written and sent, but after the memorabilia to the imperial court was written, it was not sent out for a long time.

The reason was that Li Guoying was worried that Zheng Jiaolin's henchmen and generals of Wu Sangui would not enter Huguang to encircle and suppress the Ming army.

After thinking about it, he wrote a letter to Wu Sangui, who was far away in Kunming.

The gist of the letter can be summed up in eight words - "The weight of the tripod has not yet been asked." ”
