Chapter 81: It's okay to call me the king

To be honest, Wang Wu was a little disappointed.

Although he doesn't like Aobai's granddaughter, because the appearance of this Manchurian woman is definitely not much better, there is no beauty to eat, and there is no saying that the fish and geese are sinking.

It's even very likely to be difficult to swallow.

This is not Wang Wu's own imagination, or his prejudice against Manchurian women, but an objective fact.

This fact will not change even for two or three hundred years.

Xu is because the Manchurian gene is too ruthless.

It's just that for the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty, Wang Wu is ready to sacrifice everything, including ideological, psychological, and physical aspects.

When the candle blows, when the clothes are taken off, and the eyes are closed, aren't they all the same?

Men, career is the most important.

Women, you can't be missing, but it doesn't matter if it's good or not, it's good to be able to use it.

didn't expect him to persuade himself, and in the end, he asked someone to withdraw from the marriage without even seeing him.

Who is not ashamed to put on it?

That is, I didn't look at people, otherwise I would have designated the other party to stack a sentence of thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the young man to be poor or something.

In addition to being depressed, I also feel that this thing is a bit inexplicable.

Although Ao Bai is a little more arrogant, naïve, and simple, he is still a qualified politician.

How could a qualified politician make such a lowly mistake of promising his granddaughter and taking it back!

You must know that this kind of thing is a naked slap in the face of the man, and even brutally tramples on the man's dignity under his feet.

If you want to meet a fiery person, maybe you will never die.

Those who endure it will definitely hide this humiliation deep in their hearts.

Even if you worship your five bodies in the past and swear allegiance to the death, you will have different hearts in the future.

If you have the opportunity, I will trample you to death!

Therefore, if you regret your marriage, the wise man will not do it.

What's more, he didn't surrender because he couldn't beat you, but beat the generals you begged him to surrender.

nature, not the same.

Such a blatant humiliation of a fierce general, old Marfa's head was kicked by a donkey.

Could it be that he fornicated with Mi Sihan of the Internal Affairs Office and let Ao Bai know, or did he pretend to be a Ming army to chop the palm of the Eight Banners of Shaanxi?

I don't feel like it, because if these two things were to be exposed, Ao Bai would have secretly deployed to arrest him a long time ago.

Therefore, Wang Wu couldn't figure it out for a while.

At the same time, I feel that Ao Bai is not an order of magnitude compared to Wu Sangui.

No wonder the old boy fell and no one stood up for him, but Wu Sangui's rebellion was a response.

The gap between being a human being is too big.

It can't be just because Aobai's granddaughter doesn't look down on him, right?

For this wife who regretted her marriage before she passed the door, Wang Wuzhen didn't know what she looked like, and he didn't even know what the little girl's name was.

I only know that the little girl will be fourteen after the New Year.

So it should be thirteen years old now.

It is not unusual to marry at this age at this age, because Manchuria has the custom of early marriage, Yanjing's little pockmark will be able to marry a wife at the age of twelve next year, and his mother Tong Jiashi was only thirteen years old when she gave birth to him.

Han people are actually early, and there are many parents who become parents at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

After all, the average age is here.

The more peaceful and prosperous the world, the later the age of marriage.

The more troubled the times, the earlier the age of marriage.

Reproduction always comes first in human life.

Not being able to marry Aobai's granddaughter means that in the years before Aobai's downfall, Wang Wu could not get more political benefits from Aobai.

This loss seems to be nothing, you are the little insurance, I am the one of my own, the actual explicit and hidden losses are quite large.

No less than one less army group.

As far as the current situation in Jingzhou is concerned, the identity of the forehead is better than that of the capital.

Otherwise, why would Babur, the general of Jingzhou, be so submissive to you, and agree to do business in partnership.

Isn't it because Wang Wu is standing behind him and worshipping?

What is the reason for Wang Wu to withdraw from the marriage?

Lao Zhang knows a little about this.

According to Lao Zhang, there is no other reason, that is, the little girl Guerjia looks down on Wang Wu, a Han general, so she has a quarrel with her Ama and Marfa.

That little girl was the eldest granddaughter of Aobai, and she was very spoiled on weekdays, but she might cry, make trouble, and hang herself, which finally made him Ama and Marfa change their minds.

That reason sounds like that.

Wang Wu thinks that there may be something, don't that little girl bring herself a green hat and have someone else's wild seed in her belly, right?

Otherwise, there is no reason to worship such people who will break their promises and regret their marriage.

Only he couldn't investigate deeply, so he could only press down on the unhappiness, and said to Lao Zhang: "Retreat, retreat, it's not a big deal, a manly man has no wife." ”

After throwing the watermelon rind on the table, he clapped his hands, wiped his mouth, and asked Lao Zhang if he had any words.

"What's that?"

Lao Zhang doesn't understand it too well.

"Is there any compensation? The compensation for my personal reputation and spirit is the material kind, or in other words, if the material is in place, such as officials, money, etc., I will be in place. ”

Wang Wu explained.

The meaning is very simple, many people in Jingzhou know that he is going to marry the granddaughter of the auxiliary minister Aobai, so these people are very flattering to him and cooperate very happily in all aspects.

But now that he has asked Ao Shaobao's family to withdraw from the marriage, and there is no reason, this will inevitably make some people think that Wang Dutong may have committed something, so he will definitely be estranged from his Wang Dutong, and even change his previous cooperative attitude to make it difficult.

For example, after hearing about this, Babur's guy was afraid that he would not be willing to jointly operate the Yangtze River water transport business with Wang Wu, which undoubtedly made Wang Wu lose the opportunity to pull the eight banners of the sea.

In turn, it will affect the overall situation of Jingzhou taking the lead in declaring independence in the future.

Originally, he wanted to use the Jingzhou Eight Banners Detention Center to enpen people as pigs, and at a critical time, he used 20,000 Eight Banners soldiers and civilians to blackmail the Qing court, so that he could get enough benefits from the Qing court and lay the foundation for his further strength.

If the Qing court didn't give it, it would take 20,000 soldiers and civilians of the Eight Banners to sacrifice to the sky.

Later, I felt that this was a bit excessive, and it was easy to be exposed, and the amount of work was too large, so there could be no mistakes in all aspects, and Babur had a good attitude, so he turned to build a common interest group of Qihan and Han, in order to pull Jingzhou's garrison Eight Banners onto his own "thief ship" through common interests.

The most crucial part of this plan is the full cooperation of Babur, who is the nominal leader of Jingzhou.

Without the cooperation of Babur, the plan would definitely not be able to move forward.

This forced Wang Wu to overturn and start over, wasting a lot of effort in vain, not to mention, and adding some risks in vain.

Therefore, there is not enough compensation to recover the losses in this regard, and Wang Wu will not agree.

It is impossible for Ao Bai not to think of the impact of this incident on Wang Wu, a general, unless Ao Bai does not want to have Wang Wu's "foreign aid" anymore, or really wants to force Wang Wu to rebel again, otherwise he will definitely give some compensation in other aspects.

"I don't need much compensation, just give me the right to recommend the appointment and dismissal of the Jingzhou prefect and the county magistrates under its jurisdiction."

This requirement is of the same nature as Wu Sangui's "Western Election" official.

It is to completely monopolize all the quotas of Jingzhou's civil servants and career staff, and to incorporate all those who eat financial meals into their own leadership system.

I don't want people to shake his head directly: "There is no explanation, and it is impossible to agree to this matter you request." ”

"Is it tolerable or unbearable!"

Wang Wu slapped the table angrily and scolded, "He deceives people too much, I really don't dare to rebel anymore!" ”

Seeing this, Lao Zhang sneered: "There are no outsiders here." ”

"Huh?"

Wang Wuyi was stunned.

"You have a hanging in front of me, and you have the ability to pull your three or four thousand people, hey, I want to see if you can hit Wuchang this time!"

Lao Zhang poked directly into Wang Wu's heart.

Can you solve the 4,000 garrison Eight Banners soldiers in Dingjingzhou, but can you solve the 20,000 battalions deployed by Dong Xueli near Jingzhou?

It is impossible for him to let you enter Wuchang City easily.

Right now, Wuchang's defensive strength has increased several times compared to the past, and it will not be easily cheated like last time.

"I've been in Jiangnan for less than two months, and you have done so many hands and feet behind my back? If you are so wary of me, why should you surrender to me! ”

Wang Wu was angry.

"You forced us to surrender you! If you don't surrender, it's okay, I'll stack the words here, and now I have 8,000 people in Wuchang City, and you don't accept it to fight. ”

Lao Zhang is also angry.

As soon as I say this, I have a big brain, and it is common to surrender, but I am forced to surrender, and I don't agree if I don't recruit it, so it's really a big girl who goes to the sedan chair.

If he hadn't been a prisoner and got on the ship of the five thieves by mistake, he wouldn't have been able to have the same heart with this kid.

"Eight thousand?"

Wang Wu couldn't help but sit down, "Allow him to repent of his marriage, and don't let me say two big words?" ”

The heart said, "My head is broken, so I took a few thousand people to attack your fortified city of 8,000 people."

Why do you have to bring an army of 100,000 people?

Seeing that Wang Wu was soft, Lao Zhang's attitude also warmed up, and said in a harmonious voice: "Lao Wu, don't take this matter too seriously, listen to my brother's right, the women of the Aobai family are not the best, you really want women, my brother will introduce you to a few big families, keep everyone beautiful, and be dignified and virtuous."

Wang Wu stopped him directly, and said impatiently: "I'm not interested in women, by the way, do you still have bad news to tell me?" ”

Lao Zhang said angrily that he had gone down.

"Down?"

Wang Wuyi was shocked, thinking that Lao Zhang, the governor of Huguang, had called the Qing Tingge, which would be a big trouble.

After careful questioning, I learned that Yanjing had just come to the will, and from now on, Huguang will be divided into two, with Dongting Lake as the boundary, Hunan on the left and Hubei on the right.

This matter has been planned since two years ago, and it is an example of a Kechen named Yao Qisheng who wrote to ask for aid from Jiangnan and Shaanxi, and divided them into two governors, Hubei and Hunan.

The Qing court felt that this provincial proposal was very good and had been studying it, but the delay in resolving the Xishan War and the fiasco of the Eight Banners in Beijing finally prompted the implementation of this provincial plan.

After the division of provinces, Yang Maoxun, the former governor of Huguang, was promoted to the rank of secretary of the military department and promoted to the governor of Guizhou.

Lord Yang is considered to be promoted, but going to Guizhou is not necessarily a good thing.

Because Guizhou is Wu Sangui's territory.

The governor of Hubei was taken over by Hu Quancai, the governor of Yunyang, that is to say, Hu Quancai took over the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of the former governor of Huguang and Yunyang, and at the same time took full responsibility for the military affairs of Xishan.

And Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Huguang, was actually overshadowed by Hu Quancai, and he could no longer command the Qing army besieging Xishan, so he had the right to make suggestions at most.

Hu Quancai can listen or not.

Because he also added the rank of squire of the military department, he could not bird the governor Zhang Changgeng.

In fact, the governor was not a subordinate of the governor, and he was of the same rank.

Huguang Governor Dong Xueli's power was also restricted, and he could no longer fully command the tens of thousands of Huguang Green Battalions besieging Xishan as before.

Overnight, Huguang's personnel changed so dramatically that Wang Wu was surprised and couldn't help but wonder: "Hu Quan is the one who worships?" ”

He thought that Hu Quancai was the one who came to serve as the general of Jingxi, Prince Kang, Jieshu, but he didn't think that Lao Zhang said that this person was not a party of Aobai, and in his early years, he was born in the family of Zhenye Chen, who was inlaid with red flags.

Ye Chen was promoted by Prince Li Daishan.

The two red flags are the Dai Shan line of Prince Li, and the new Jingxi general Prince Kang Jieshu is the main red flag.

Therefore, Hu Quancai's appointment as governor of Hubei was Jieshu's request to the imperial court, and it was also the only request he made to the imperial court.

Therefore, there is no reason why Ao Bai should not agree.

Through Hu Quancai, the governor of Hubei, the young Jieshu easily bypassed the governor of Huguang and the general of Jingzhou, and took all the military, personnel, money and grain command of the front line.

Even the matter of Huguang Province may be secretly promoted by Jieshu.

I have to say that this hat king who is not yet twenty years old is so interesting.

As for Hu Quancai, Wang Wu has not paid much attention to this person before, but he is very familiar with his subordinate Daotai Qian Wentao.

Recently, I learned about Hu Quancai, but it was because Hu Quancai wrote a letter to impeach Zhang Changgeng for using the Jingzhou Mancheng Project to set up a name, make false reports and exaggerate, and wantonly apportion.

Unexpectedly, such a person who had been out of his field of vision suddenly became a character similar to the dead ghost Dingxi General Tuhai.

If Lao Zhang completely loses the dominance of the Xishan war, and even drags his feet, it will be a very dangerous thing for the Xishan base area.

The top priority is to figure out what Jieshu wants to do.

Only by knowing Jieshu's encirclement and suppression plan can Wang Wu find a way to crack it.

He couldn't sit back and watch Jieshu destroy the base.

At that moment, he was anxious to go back to Jingzhou first to arrange other things, but after thinking about it before leaving, he still deliberately said to Lao Zhang: "By the way, I forgot to tell you something." ”

"What's the matter?"

Lao Zhang didn't care too much.

Wang Wudao: "I plan to take time to go to Kunming at the end of the year. ”

"Nonsense!"

Lao Zhang was just about to scold Wang Wu for not knowing what to do, so he listened to Wang Wudao: "Don't worry, my trip to Kunming is not a business matter, it is a private matter." ”

"What personal matter do you have with Wu Sangui?"

Lao Zhang was a little anxious.

Wang Wu pursed his lips: "Alas, how can I tell you, I didn't want to tell you, but you and I are not outsiders, and such a big thing has been hidden from you to show that my surname Wang is not a thing." ”

Seeing Wang Wu's serious face, Lao Zhang couldn't help but wonder: "What the hell is going on?" ”

"That's it, it's Wu Sangui who is actually my father-in-law."

After speaking, Wang Wu spread his hands and looked at Lao Zhang with a sincere face, "Yaowu is the name given to me by the King of Han in the Ming Dynasty, my real name is actually Wang Yongkang, the only son in the family, you can call me Wang Da in the future, and the king can also do it." ”
