Chapter 256: Confident Wu Sangui
The withdrawal of the feudal domain was the war between the Manchus and Wu Sangui.
A big war affects the hearts of the whole world. Even ordinary people can feel the atmosphere of war in the air.
However, ordinary people have no opinion on this war. Who loses and who wins, for them, it doesn't mean much.
Whoever is the emperor and who is the ruler is too far away from them.
It's just that the Manchus kept pulling strong Ding, making the people miserable. But then again, if Wu Sangui rules the world, he still has to pull strong Ding and levy labor.
The atmosphere in the White Lotus Sect's jurisdiction was completely different, and the people's emotions were high, and they were all discussing this war.
After analysis, no one would have thought that Wu Sangui would win.
Wu Sangui, as the biggest traitor and thief of the Han people, and the Han people with a little national consciousness, hated him to the core. Wu Sangui abandoned the Han people, and the Han people also abandoned him. Except for the veterans of the Guanning Army who followed him, almost no one was loyal to him anymore.
Now Wu Sangui has been abandoned by the Manchu court again, and the Kangxi Emperor wants to deal with him. It is very appropriate to describe Wu Sangui as a traitor.
As a traitor, in fact, Wu Sangui should have been able to guess that he would have such an end today.
The White Lotus Sect did not participate in the war, which made it a pity for the people.
Chen Ji knew that Zhang Mingyue was laying out several helmsmen, and hoped that Wu Sangui could support him for more time.
Chen Ji just shook his head, he was not very optimistic about Zhang Mingyue's plan.
Plans can never catch up with change.
Kangxi's destruction of Wu Sangui this time must be swept away with the momentum of thunder, secretly supported, and has little effect.
Unless the White Lotus Sect directly participates in the war.
Kangxi's determination to withdraw the feudal domain was too great, completely ignoring the threat of the White Lotus Sect and Zhu Cihong, and mobilized eighty percent of the Manchu Qing army. Wu Sangui and them, even if they were possessed by King Kong, they were useless.
"Mingyue, I plan to go to Yunnan to watch the battle. Chen Ji said to Zhang Mingyue.
Zhang Mingyue hugged her son and said, "I'll go too." ”
"You're going too?" Chen Ji thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay." But you and your son can only stay by my side. The battle between the Manchus and Wu Sangui this time must be more tragic than the battle of Yangzhou that year. You are not by my side, and in the event of an accident, I am not sure that you and your son will be safe. ”
There must be a lot of great grandmasters who went to Yunnan to watch the battle this time. Chen Ji had to remind Zhang Mingyue.
"Yes, I know. Zhang Mingyue said.
There were not many grandmasters who followed Chen Ji and Zhang Mingyue to Yunnan to watch the battle, only two, Wang Xu and Yu Qiu.
Came to Yunnan.
Wu Sangui has already put his soldiers and horses in order.
Chen Ji looked at the soldiers under Wu Sangui's command and shook his head secretly, Wu Sangui had no chance of winning, no accident, he was definitely not the opponent of the Manchu court.
Zhang Mingyue came to Dali, Yunnan for the first time, and the life of the people here made her heart sink. She speculated based on intelligence that she knew that under the rule of Wu Sangui, Yunnan was poor, but she did not expect it to be poor to such an extent.
Eating Guanyin soil and eating Yizi, although Zhang Mingyue has not seen this kind of thing, the miserable situation is not much different.
Zhang Mingyue said coldly: "Wu Sangui really deserves to die, the people under his command are like living in hell." I now regret supporting him. Even if we invest more money, food, and weapons in him, I'm afraid it will be useless. The first amount of money and food has already arrived in Wu Sangui's hands, it must be a meat bun beating a dog, and there is no return. ”
When the money and grain arrived in Wu Sangui's hands, even if he regretted it, it was useless, and he would never come back.
Wu Sangui is old, and he is a pile of mud that can't be supported.
Chen Ji said with a smile: "Mingyue, don't be angry. We, the White Lotus Sect, don't lack that bit of food and grass. As I said, Wu Sangui is definitely not Kangxi's opponent, and if you want Wu Sangui to be invincible, there is only one way, and that is that our White Lotus Sect personally resists the Manchu army. ”
Zhang Mingyue shook her head and said, "Let's do it personally?" ”
What the White Lotus Sect wants to do is to make a profit for the fishermen, but it is not to directly face Kangxi's army now. Zhang Mingyue will not support a war without interests.
Chen Ji said: "Let's have a good night's rest and go to the front line tomorrow." ”
After settling down, Zhang Mingyue said to Wang Xu: "Wang Xu, you go to Pingxi Palace, tell Wu Sangui, and let him fight well." If he loses too quickly and too badly, the masters of the White Lotus Sect will not come to his rescue. ”
Wang Xu nodded and said, "Yes, madam." ”
The White Lotus Sect provided Wu Sangui with grain and grass, and it was reasonable to go and ask.
..............................
When Wang Xu came to Pingxi Palace, he saw Wu Sangui with a red face and a confident look. It was as if he was sure of winning the war.
"Governor Wang. Wu Sangui laughed loudly at Wang Xu, "I didn't expect that on the eve of the war, you, a peerless swordsman, would come to Yunnan to see this king, this king is really very happy." Haha......"
Wang Xu asked with a smile: "King Pingxi, the little emperor Kangxi has mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops, and he will be able to enter Yunnan tomorrow." Your military strength is inferior to his, and the number of Grandmasters is inferior to his, but you are still confident. I don't know where your confidence comes from, Lord Wang?"
After speaking, Wang Xu glanced at Wu Zhenhai beside Wu Sangui.
Although Wu Zhenhai is powerful, Wang Xu is sure to defeat him.
There are also peerless masters on the Manchu side, and there is more than one, Wu Sangui's hole card should not be Wu Zhenhai.
Wu Sangui laughed and said, "Governor Wang, you are right, this king is indeed confident in defeating that Kangxi child." The Manchu Tartars are hateful, and they have actually stolen our Shenzhou rivers and mountains, how can this king allow him? This time, this king will definitely recover the rivers and mountains of our Han people and go to the Forbidden City to capture Kangxi Xiao'er alive! As for where this king's confidence comes from, you will see it when the war is fought tomorrow. ”
Wang Xu sneered in his heart, Wu Sangui's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, and high-sounding. People who don't know his details will really think that he is a great loyal minister. Did Wu Sangui forget that he himself opened the Shanhai Pass and let the Manchus enter the Central Plains?
A big traitor, now clamoring to restore the Han family's rivers and mountains, Wu Sangui interprets despicability and shamelessness to another realm.
Wang Xu said: "Lord Wang, you have such confidence, that's a good thing. Otherwise, if you are wiped out by the Manchus at once, won't we lose all that grain and grass in vain? My wife said that if you are defeated too quickly, no one can save you. In this battle, you can only rely on yourself, and no force will help you. ”
Wu Sangui looked dissatisfied, and snorted coldly: "Governor Wang, you go back and tell Chen Ji and Zhang Mingyue that this king does things and doesn't need them to point fingers." You, please go back. ”
Wang Xu turned around and left, no longer talking to Wu Sangui. Anyway, Zhang Mingyue's words have already been passed on.
Wu Sangui looked at Wang Xu's back, and secretly said in his heart: "The people of the White Lotus Sect have always looked down on this king. Supporting grain and grass is in the form of charity, which is really angry to the king. After tomorrow, this king defeats Kangxi Xiaoer's army, and you will know that I, Wu Sangui, am not easy to mess with. ”
........................
After Wang Xu came back, he explained Wu Sangui's attitude. Chen Ji asked with a smile: "Wu Sangui is so confident? The military strength and masters on the Manchu side, Wu Sangui must be clear. Until now, he is still so arrogant, he is not sick. ”
Wang Xu smiled bitterly: "Sect Master, have you seen Wu Sangui's invincible appearance. His subordinates almost regarded him as a big hero, a big hero. ”
Zhang Mingyue sneered: "Self-confidence comes from strength! Wu Sangui is full of confidence, there are no more than two reasons. First, he had more troops than the Manchus, or he had more masters than the Manchus. Second, he has the high-end power to crush the Manchu Qing. The first one is definitely impossible, we know what Wu Sangui's military strength is. Then there is only the second left, if I am not mistaken, Wu Sangui must have the support of a certain great grandmaster, or several great grandmasters!"
"It makes sense. Chen Ji nodded.
In this situation, only the innate great master can give Wu Sangui the confidence to be confident.
