Chapter 152: I Want a Province
When the pattern is opened, things will change differently, and there will be different results.
Wang Wu took advantage of the information gap caused by communication delays to occupy Wuchang, an important town on the Yangtze River, and captured Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Huguang, and Li Chengdong used dozens of cavalry to seize Guangzhou, the capital of the Shaowu regime, and captured the third emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Emperor Shaowu.
At different times and in different places, Wang Wu and Li Chengdong did the same thing.
There is no difference in even the process, it is the same fake opponent to enter the city to create panic.
They are all typical of daring to think and do.
As long as you are brave enough, zombies can also take maternity leave.
has come to this point, and there is really nothing that Wang Wu can't do.
Zhang Changgeng thought that Lao Shunjun and Wu Sangui had a deep blood feud, and the two families couldn't go together at all, so they had no fear.
If you want to take care of him, the Qing Emperor will repay him with a big death, so he will protect his descendants and his own integrity.
This is indeed the case.
Whether it is Hu Shuai, Yuan Shuai, or Hao Shuai, it is impossible for them to agree to "join forces with Wu to resist the Qing Dynasty", and the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians who were heavily surrounded by the Qing army in Maolu Mountain will not agree.
Therefore, Zhang Changgeng concluded that it was impossible for the Ming army to collude with Wu Sangui.
Since it is impossible for the Ming army to come together with Wu Sangui, there is no point in forcing him.
Left and right, he Zhang Changgeng is just a prisoner.
What's the use of framing him in his name?
The problem is that Wang Wu broke his inherent cognition and pointed out an impossible possibility to him, that is, the Ming army, which was formerly the Shun army, could come together with Wu Sangui.
Don't forget, if it weren't for the Qing army entering the customs, the world would have been Dashun a long time ago!
So back then, the "Shun generation" was able to unite the Ming Dynasty to resist the Qing Dynasty, and today's "Shun Second Generation" is not impossible to unite Wu to resist the Qing Dynasty.
The "second generation of Shun" is, of course, Wang Wu himself.
His lone army, which protrudes on Maolu Mountain, does not have the psychological burden of the soldiers and civilians in the base area, and he does not have so many worries.
Therefore, as long as he can ensure that tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the base area will not be wiped out by the Qing army, retain the flame of resistance to the Qing Dynasty, and really make the decision to "join Wu to resist the Qing Dynasty" or "join the Qing Dynasty to resist Wu" with his current authority, most of his subordinates will not oppose it.
Because we all know that this is the best choice, and there is no way to do it.
Who let the strategy of breaking through to the north go bankrupt, and the base area was also swallowed by a third of the Qing army in Shaanxi, and it will fall at any time.
If it is said that the military and civilians in the Maolu Mountain base area regard persisting in resisting the Qing Dynasty as a great righteousness, then protecting these soldiers and civilians is Wang Wu's current righteousness.
Otherwise, he could have taken these three or four thousand people all the way down the river to the east and re-enacted the miracle of the Taiping Army, instead of staying in Wuchang racking his brains and worrying about the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians.
Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He.
Sitting back and watching the base area be destroyed by the Qing army, Wang Wu also lost his leadership over this partial division.
Then he really can't break the game, he must choose one of the two routes.
The road of self-reliance and independent development has been blocked, completely blocked.
Whether it is "Lianqing to resist Wu" or "Lianwu to resist Qing", for Wang Wu, it is only a means to resist the Qing Dynasty, not an end.
The strategic goal remains the same, and the tactical aspect can be more flexible.
In other words, if you Zhang Changgeng don't listen to persuasion, then you are not a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, but the biggest traitor of the Qing Dynasty!
Why?
It was you, Zhang Changgeng, who forced the old Shun army to "join Wu to resist the Qing Dynasty"!
But if you, Zhang Changgeng, listen to persuasion and are willing to sit down and talk with Lao Shunjun, then you are a hero of the Qing Dynasty.
It's easy to see.
Whether to create a stronger opponent for Daqing, or to win a partner for Daqing, it all depends on how you choose Zhang Changgeng.
The pressure gives to the past.
Zhang Changgeng, who has been up and down in the sea for many years, is a shrewd person, of course he knows that loyal ministers and traitors are only in his thoughts.
He did not rush to give an answer, but asked Wang Wu a question very seriously, that is, whether the other party really wanted to negotiate peace with the Qing Dynasty, or pretended to delay.
"If it's not for your heart, the Governor can still sit here?"
Wang Wu smiled and asked Zhang Changgeng to do the three things just now, and then the Ming and Qing dynasties ceased fighting on all fronts.
Not only the Huguang Qing army, but also the Shaanxi Qing army also had to cease fighting.
If one side did not stop fighting, he openly surrendered to Wu in the name of Zhang Changgeng in Wuchang.
Guan Ling Wu Sangui did not accept it.
Right now, Wang Wu is not a Wuchang City, but also a Jingzhou City!
I want to see if the old turtle is moved.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Changgeng spoke: "After the armistice, how does General Wang plan to talk to the imperial court?" ”
In fact, he asked Wang Wu what conditions he wanted to surrender.
"The territory under the jurisdiction of the governor of Huguang and the governor of Yunyang belongs to me."
The five lions of the king opened their mouths.
"Impossible!"
Zhang Changgeng decisively refused, the governor of Huguang and the governor of Yunyang were basically a province, and even if he was the governor, he could not be the master.
I'm afraid that even the four auxiliary ministers can't make a decision, and they have to alarm the empress dowager in the palace.
"Then stop the war first, and tell your court what I mean, and see if your court agrees."
Wang Wu is not in a hurry, anyway, he doesn't really want to surrender.
Drag it out as much as you can.
It's better to talk about it for three years and five years.
Zhang Changgeng had no choice, whether he wanted it or not, he couldn't stimulate the Ming army to fall to Wu Sangui at the moment, after all, Zheng Jiaolin, the governor of Sichuan, had already sent troops to Badong, and if he really wanted Zheng Jiaolin and the Ming army to catch up, the tens of thousands of troops on the front line would have to be wiped out.
After Zhang Changgeng was taken down to write materials, Wang Wu suddenly instructed Qian Daotai to write a letter in his own name to Bai Rumei, the governor of Shaanxi, and Fu Kachan, the general of Xi'an in the Qing Dynasty.
The letter did not directly say surrender, but said that it was willing to negotiate with the governor and generals.
The letter to Bai Rumei, the governor of Shaanxi, could be sent directly through the Qing army post road.
The letter to General Xi'an had to be transferred.
Wang Wu didn't forget the Cao family's cloth slave.
He handed over a jade wrench engraved with the words of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Qian Daotai, and asked him to find someone to take this jade wrench around Hanzhong from the direction of Hanzhong to Zhushan City, and then find a Manchurian Baitang A named Ta Abai in the city, and then this person will forward the letter to Fu Kachan on his behalf.
Qian Daotai was puzzled by this, since Zhang Changgeng was willing to come forward to coordinate and agree to an armistice, why did he still find the governor of Shaanxi and the general of Xi'an?
Is this a big move to fart without taking off your pants?
"Competition is dynamic."
Wang Wu didn't explain much.
On that day, Ta Abai said that there were many mountains inside the Qing army, and all factions wanted to take the lead in this final battle, so of course Wang Wu had to contact other mountains.
That is, to introduce competitors to Zhang Changgeng.
If Zhang Changgeng can't meet his bottom line, what if the other two can.
There were factions in the localities, and there were also factions in the Tartar court in Yanjing.
As long as there are factions and Wu Sangui, an unstable factor, no one dares to say what the final outcome of the talks will be.
In the end, Wang Wu sat on the table with a pen and wrote six words, and ordered Zhang Pengyu, the flag in charge, to take it out and spread it.
The six words are "the son of heaven's doppelganger fire ear".
