Chapter 163: Escort Aobai
Of course, it is the world-famous Ao Shaobao's thick thighs!
Compared with Ao Shaobao, Tu Haimao's is not.
Qi Yikui replied in the affirmative.
"Oh?"
Niu Qi's expression obviously changed qualitatively, and he thought about the letter for a long time, and finally took out the fire fold and burned the letter.
Very professional.
"Niu Qi, what does the letter surnamed Wang say?"
Qi Yikui wondered, he didn't know the content of the letter.
It wasn't until the letter was completely burned to ashes that Niu Qifang said: "The fifth master said let's stay neutral. ”
"Neutral?"
Qi Yikui didn't quite understand what neutrality meant.
Niu Qi explained: "If the two generals fight, the fifth master wants us not to help." ”
"Two generals?"
Qi Yikui became more and more confused when he heard this, isn't there only one Dingxi general left, Tuhai, where is there another big general?
"Mulima is coming back."
Niu Qi took out a cigarette pouch and lit a pot, and took a few puffs.
He was also quite depressed about this matter, but fortunately, Mulima didn't know that he was behind it.
When the time comes, you can put the blame on the surrender of the army and make trouble.
"Fifth Master, this has been figured out."
It took Qi Yikui a long time to understand what was going on, and it was obvious that the fifth master had reached a peace negotiation agreement with the captured Mulima.
In this way, the 20-year war in Chinese mainland will come to an end.
Peace has come to the Qing Dynasty.
However, Tuhai, as the main culprit of undermining peace, must be punished.
Hence the saying that there were two great generals fighting.
Why did Mulima fight with Tuhai?
Due to the lack of information sources, Qi Yikui could not make an accurate judgment, but he knew that Tuhai's refusal to negotiate peace would definitely kill Mulima.
That's enough.
"Let's,"
Qi Yikui wanted to ask whether to help Tuhai, the general of Dingxi, or to help Mu Lima, the general of Jingxi.
"Don't Tuhai, Mulima is good!"
Bull Flag makes a choice.
He's going to hold the bigger leg.
Thanks to the fifth master, thank you Mulima, and thank you Tuhai.
If it weren't for them, how could he have climbed the high branches with a small green battalion commander.
Raising the flag from a distance is not a small step forward, but a big step
Wuchang.
Wang Wu, Mulima, and Zhang Changgeng were negotiating about the surrender of the Ming army.
It was mainly Zhang Changgeng who was negotiating with Wang Wu.
If you want Mulima to talk, I'm afraid you will agree to anything, because he is now in a hurry to kill Tuhai.
In order to kill Tuhai, Mulima could even promise to assign all the eight provinces under the jurisdiction of the governor of Yunyang to the Ming army.
Because the Ming army can't take the lives of his Guerjia family, Tuhai can!
The stability of the court is overwhelming.
This truth, Mulima pondered more than anyone else.
Brother Ao Bai is really going to be hurt by the resignation of Tu Hai Harm, and what awaits the Guerjia clan must be bloody.
Mulima can't just lead troops to fight, not nothing.
After two rounds of consultations, Wang Wu gave specific conditions for his return to the Qing court.
The main five.
First, the Ming army did not shave their hair, and it was not easy to obey.
As soon as this article was proposed, it was jointly opposed by Mu Lima and Zhang Changgeng.
It's not that they won't agree, it's that the court won't agree.
Shaving hair is a red thread, and it is not easy for anyone to come.
As strong as the Zheng family back then, they could not force the Qing court to allow them not to shave their hair.
What qualifications do you have not to shave?
It's true that the team of defeated soldiers and mixed people under your command can withstand the siege of hundreds of thousands of heavy soldiers.
Besides, you refuse to shave your hair, who believes that you are truly obedient to the Qing Dynasty?
Don't say that Mulima didn't dare to agree, and he didn't dare to agree.
If things really can't be discussed, then it's really Tuhai's routine - first suppress Maolu Mountain, and then treat you Wang Wu as a dog.
Excluding the people, the Ming army, which had a total of two or three thousand armor-clad people, could not last long without the support of the people.
If you don't get it right, Wang Wu will be stoned to death by the people with hoes one day.
Wang Wu knows this very well.
He was dealing with a new feudal dynasty whose rule was already firmly established, not the Ming dynasty, which was dying twenty years earlier.
The best ending is to go to sea to meet Zhang Huangyan, find an overseas desert island and wait for the uprising of the three feudatories.
Compared with this outcome, it is the practice of a smart person to take advantage of the contradictions between the Qing court and Wu Sangui and the contradictions between Ao Bai and the Qing court to fight for the most favorable conditions for the Ming army.
Considering practical factors, Wang Wu made a concession.
It was he himself and the Ming army that advanced eastward that could shave their hair and change their clothes, but the 40,000 soldiers and civilians in the Maolu Mountain base area did not shave their hair, and the Qing army wanted to return the six counties of Xingshan, Zhushan, and Fangshan that had been taken before to the Ming army, and the military and political aspects were autonomous by the Ming army, and did not accept the officials appointed by the Qing court.
The reason was that he could not convince the military and civilians of Maolu Mountain to shave their hair with him, after all, he was only the general army of Huguang in the Ming Dynasty, not the king of Chu, or the leader of the military and the people (Li Zicheng's successor).
However, this article was still opposed by Zhang Changgeng.
On behalf of the imperial court, he could agree to return several counties of the Ming army and give the Ming army autonomy, but only if the Ming army must shave their hair and abandon the Ming flag, otherwise, what is the matter?
Regardless of whether your Wang Wu is really descended or fake, you still have to do something about the appearance.
You don't even want to do superficial work, he Zhang Changgeng has a few dares to settle things with you like this.
Mulima didn't dare either.
The two sides quarreled fiercely, until Wang Wu asked people to bring the bucket in, and Zhang Changgeng was relieved of his momentum, proposing to put the matter aside for a while and talk about it later.
Mulima also said that the matter could be decided after the letter from his brother in Beijing.
For now, Wang Wu's side will be determined first, so that not only can Yanjing give an explanation, but also allow Mulima to return to the front line as a general, instead of asking Tuhai to do something as a prisoner.
Tuhai is their common enemy and must be eliminated.
Wang Wu agreed, and the two sides negotiated on the basis of the conditions given by Mulima earlier.
Mulima's persuasion condition was that Wang Wu's department was collectively reorganized into the Han army's yellow flag, and in addition to the six Niu Lu, Wang Wu himself also granted the Han army the yellow flag to be unified, and gave the first-class viscount Yulu.
Wang Wu accepted this in its entirety, but he himself would never enter the court, and the officers and soldiers of the department must also be resettled in Jingzhou, and they must not be scattered and reorganized.
"In addition, I want to give me a quota of 10,000 battalions of Jingzhou soldiers, and I will also determine the candidates for the Jingzhou prefect."
In order to become a decisive force in the future, Wang Wu naturally wanted to expand the army, but he had no money to expand, so the relevant money and grain had to be provided by the Qing court.
Of course, if the Qing court refused to provide it, it would have to allow Wang Wu to set up an official in Jingzhou to collect taxes, which is a miniature version of the "three feudatories".
After hearing this, Mu Lima shook his head and said: "This is not good, you can be the general soldier of Jingzhou, or you can not enter the court, but you can only raise 3,000 people at most." ”
Wang Wu thought about it and invited Mulima to talk next door alone.
Without waiting for Mulima to speak, he said: "It won't be long before your little emperor will be in power, and then it will be the death of Ao Shaobao and the general, and I will submit to Shaobao instead of the Qing Dynasty, so with such a soldier as me, Yu Shaobao and General Yu will only have advantages and no disadvantages." ”
After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "In the future, if Shao Bao and the general really have something to do, I will immediately raise troops on the side of the Qing Jun to escort the young guard and the general!" ”
