The case of Huguang Governor Zhang Changgeng's seizure of the reported blood book caused an uproar in the Qing court.

Wu Yingxiong, the son of Wu Sangui, was so frightened that he couldn't speak on the spot after learning about this, and he almost lost his voice.

Many officials took the opportunity to write to Wu Sangui who had always been disobedient and asked the imperial court to immediately punish him severely.

Most of these people are Qingliu people or petty officials, and they think they are speculative, but how can the minister in charge be so hasty as them.

Ao Bai has always believed that Wu Sangui has no objections, he just wants to be a rich man all his life, and he does not dare to oppose Wu Sangui at all, plus Wu Sangui is strong and strong, and at this time, most of the soldiers and horses that can be used in the Qing Dynasty are restrained by the West Mountain thieves in Kuidong, and the children of the Eight Banners are unusable, so Ao Bai thinks that if he turns his face with Wu Sangui, it is really painful for relatives and fast for enemies.

I'm afraid it's also in the hands of those remnants of the Ming Dynasty who secretly regained their sight.

Who dares to say that this "blood letter" is not the "anti-intrigue scheme" of the remnants of the Ming Dynasty?

Therefore, he forcibly suppressed the impeachment of Wu Sangui, and on the one hand, ordered Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Huguang, to arrest Zha Rulong, the mastermind of the blood book, and investigate the case clearly; On the one hand, the manuscript of the blood book was sent to Kunming.

Mingli showed that the imperial court had no suspicion of Wu Sangui, and secretly beat Wu Sangui.

After receiving the copy of the blood book sent by Yanjing Kuaima, Wu Sangui, who was deploying to encircle and suppress the Shuixian clan and the puppet state of the Ming Dynasty, was also taken aback, because he didn't know about it at all.

I don't know who that Cha Rulong is.

Woe to heaven is it.

Wu Sangui knew that the Qing court was increasingly suspicious of him, but he was always unwilling to break with the Qing court, but he also knew that he had insurmountable contradictions with the Qing court with the existence of Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao's "three feudatories".

Because the three Han kings with different surnames occupied the land of the three provinces, each with tens of thousands of troops, the actual rule of the local feudal towns has been formed, which is something that no great unified dynasty will allow to happen.

Therefore, in the future, there will definitely be a war between the Qing court and their three feudatories.

However, knowing that there would be a war with the Qing court in the future, Wu Sangui was still unwilling to take advantage of the weakest time for the Qing court to raise troops.

Even if the king of the Ming and Han Dynasty in Xishan preached that the world was dressed and restored, and the person who restored Yanjing was the co-lord of the world.

He even sent Wu Guogui and Ma Bao, who had encouraged him to start the Northern Expedition and sent troops to assist the Ming army in the fight without authorization, to Shuixi to suppress the thieves, and then sent Liu Xuanchu to the prefect, which weakened the main battle faction in the Pingxi Palace.

After weighing everything, in order to give the Qing court a step and to prove that he had no objections, Wu Sangui took the initiative to write a letter proposing to follow Sichuan's example to reduce the Yunnan-Guizhou army, trying to change from passive to active.

In the disarmament plan submitted to the Qing court, Wu Sangui planned to lay off 7,200 soldiers, of which 1,800 would be transferred to the two towns of Guangluo and Mengjing in Guizhou, and the other 5,400 soldiers would be transferred to the two battalions of Yunzhou and Malong.

That is, the five battalions of loyalty and bravery, to which he belonged, were cut by one-third.

After Ao Bai received Wu Sangui's recital, he felt that this matter could end here, so he approved and agreed in the tone of the little emperor, and at the same time instructed the military department and the official department, that is, from today onwards, all the officials of Sangui will not be allowed.

Thus further limiting Wu Sangui's power.

He also promoted Wu Sangui's son and Shuo's forehead, Wu Yingxiong, to be the young master and the crown prince.

In order to show the emperor's grace and generosity, he also promoted Geng Juzhong, Geng Zhaozhong, the grandson of the late King Geng Zhongming of Jingnan, and Shang Zhilong, the third son of Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, to the young master of the crown prince.

Compared with Shang and Geng, Wu Yingxiong's title is still higher than these two, so as to imply to Wu Sangui that the imperial court is unique to their father and son.

These matters were sent by Tang Bao to the governors, generals, and commanders of all provinces.

Wang Wu is qualified to read the Tang newspaper here, because he is the commander of the Han army and the white flag.

After reading the Tang Bao's handling of Aobai, I can't help but be amazed.

Marfa is a little rougher, but he doesn't brag about governing and leading troops to fight, he really has two brushes.

Otherwise, Huang Taiji and Fulin would not have been so trusting of Marfa.

Babur was nearing arrival, but Wang Wu did not intend to greet him, because his arrow wound had not healed.

Only Jin Guansan and Li Wen were responsible for this matter.

Because he has more important things to do.

Fu Chenzi accompanied Zhang Huangyan's "special envoy" Luo Zimu back from the mountains.

The news brought is not very optimistic.

Because the Ming army was severely damaged by Chen Fu, the new governor of Shaanxi Province of the Qing court, in Zhushan City, the morale of the original two victories was discharged, not only a large number of troops absconded, but the Ming army itself also appeared again absconding.

There are quite a few of them.

In this regard, the three old marshals adopted the original approach of Wang Wu, that is, those who are willing to stay will fight to the death, and those who are unwilling to stay will let him go.

Although this move reduced the Ming army from more than 7,000 to more than 5,000, the cohesion was improved again compared with before.

In view of the inability to fight the Qing army again in the short term, the three veteran commanders decided to shrink the defensive line after discussion, give up the intention of "restoration" in the area of Zhushan and Fangxian, and continue to operate several strongholds in Maolu Mountain and Wushan.

This was done because, after the Battle of Zhushan, the hard-line main battle faction within the Ming army realized that the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us was too great, and one or two victories could not change the overall situation.

The second is that Wang Wu sent back to the Qing court through the floating dust and newly appointed Prince Kang Jieshu to take over from Mulima to lead the army to supervise the base area, so the most important thing in front of the army and the people in the base area is how to break the Qing army's large-scale encirclement and suppression, rather than unrealistically hitting the Qing army's important town Jiancheng.

Wang Wu's lobbying of the generals in the main village also had a certain effect.

In other words, the base area also began to forbear, waiting for the Qing court to fall out with Wu Sangui.

However, the forbearance of the base area is to continue to insist on resisting the Qing Dynasty, rather than directly shaving his hair and lowering the Qing like Wang Wu.

The purpose is the same, the route is different.

Chen Fu, the governor of Shaanxi, also did not have the ability to command the Qing army to continue to attack the Ming army, because the grain storage of the Qing army was burned by the Ming army in the previous round, and the grain road was also destroyed in many places, and it would take at least half a year to recover if he wanted to consolidate Zhushan and advance the battle line.

Sichuan Green Camp is still standing still, I don't know if it is waiting for Prince Kang Jieshu to come back, or because of disarmament reasons, it is "sharing the cake" internally.

There is no movement on the side of the Huguang Green Battalion, and they may be waiting for the arrival of General Hou Wang.

On this trip to the base area, Luo Zimu met the three old commanders, and also met King Han, Hong Buyuan, Pan Jianjun and others.

Through the statements of all parties, when Zhang Shangshu's envoy saw Wang Wu again, there was obvious guilt on his face, and he was obviously embarrassed to scold Wang Wu before.

Wang Wu didn't have much to say, so after inviting Luo Zimu to sit down with Fuchenzi, he told Luo Zimu about the recent movements of the Qing court, and also about the blood book case.

Then bluntly said that he wanted to meet with Zhang Shangshu to discuss future events.

And said frankly that if Zhang Shangshu can't insist, he might as well come to Jingzhou to endure for the time being.

He, the king Yaowu, will be swept away.

Luo Zimu said that it was okay to meet Zhang Shangshu, but Lord Shangshu would never come to Jingzhou, let alone shave his hair.

hesitated for a moment and asked Wang Wu why he concluded that Wu Sangui would be opposed.

Wang Wu had no choice but to say what he said in the main village again.

Luo Zimu understood the relevant reason, but he said: "Since Wu Sangui and the Qing court are full of contradictions, a blood letter can make the Qing court uneasy, why not give him a few more questions?" ”

"What do you mean?"

Wang Wu didn't understand what Luo Zimu meant.

"One Cha Rulong is not enough, plus one Gu Yanwu, one Guizhuang, one Huang Zongxi, and one Yan Ermei is enough?"

The four people Luo Zimu said were all great Confucians of the Ming Dynasty, and they were extremely important in the minds of the gentry of the world, even the Qing court was very jealous of these four people.

"If these blood books of my loyal ministers and righteous men of the Ming Dynasty are not enough, then ask the old uncle to give him another blood book for Wu Sangui!"
