Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 140

On the eighth day of February in the 13th year of Kangxi, Wu Sangui summoned Ma Bao, Gao Qilong, Liu Zhifu, Zhang Zufa, Wang Hui, Wang Pingfan, Hu Guozhu, Wu Yingqi, Guo Zhuangtu and other generals of the ten battalions of the four towns to discuss the matter, and specifically explained He ordered people to invite Zhu Guozhi, the governor of Yunnan, and all his officials.

You must know that Wu Sangui's palace was originally the palace of Emperor Yongli. It can be said that although the sparrow is small and complete, this soldier can be used directly after a little modification. Wu Sangui is dressed in military armor, sitting in the Golden Palace On top of that, the commander-in-chief of the ten towns cut off all the whips and put on the vermilion Daming clothes again. Zhu Guozhi saw it, and the whole person was stupid immediately, his legs softened, and he knelt down with a plop.

I saw Wu Sangui playing with a piece of oil-yellow jadeite in his hand. While looking at it carefully, he said: "Old Zhu, come and see my stone. The old pit is full of ice, and its color is brighter than the one I gave to Chaozhou. The piece is not bad either. He likes green, but I prefer yellow. If I carve a jade seal with this stone, should I carve a dragon or a unicorn? Is it a marshal of the world? , or leave it for later, and engrave something else?"

"Ping...Wu Sangui, you...do you really want to rebel?"

"It was Kangxi who forced me! I didn't want to rebel, it was Kangxi who forced me to rebel! I have fought half my life for their Manchu country, from Liaodong to the Central Plains, from the Central Plains to the Northwest, and from the Northwest to the Southwest , How did I feel sorry for him? He asked me to withdraw the domain and return to Liaodong? If I really go back to Liaodong, how can I survive?"

"You...you...Wu Sangui, you are simply...a traitor!"

"The Tartars of the Qing court occupied my Han family. Zhu Guozhi, you are also a Han. Now I will give you a chance to take the soldiers and horses of your governor's yamen to kill Zhe Erken for me, and give me a certificate of honor." , this king will let the past go, and will entrust you with reuse, how about it?"

However, Zhu Guozhi was a staunch character. He was originally sent by Kangxi to Yunnan to disgust Wu Sangui. Over the years, he had accumulated deep grievances with Wu Sangui.

"You stubborn person, come here, arrest this person, so that he can be taken into custody."

So far, it is not much different from the original history, but after hearing Wu Sangui's words, Ma Bao suddenly stood up, pulled out a knife and stabbed Zhu Guozhi in the neck without saying a word, and cut his throat on the top of the hall to bleed. While frightening the subordinate officials brought by Zhu Guozhi half to death, Wu Sangui was a little stunned.

"Did I...did I just say that I would lock him up?"

Hearing this, Ma Bao asked, "Why did the marshal spare his life to negotiate peace with the Qing court?"

Wu Sangui was quite choked by Ma Bao's words, and he said for a while, "Leave him alive, when it will be useful, don't I still need him a bowl of food?"

"I think that since the marshal has turned against the Qing Dynasty, he must be firm in his will. Since we are a good minister, we must be firm in our will, and we must not hesitate any longer."

Wu Sangui was quite annoyed when he heard the words, and couldn't help but said: "Are you... teaching me how to do things?"

Seeing this, Ma Bao sighed, but he took out an imperial decree from his sleeve and said: "This is Your Majesty's imperial decree, ordering the generals of my four towns and ten battalions to not hold back any officials of the Qing court after raising troops. Falling is dead."

"Imperial decree? Liu Dapao?"

Ma Bao heard the words and said nothing.

Wu Sangui glanced at the other nine generals with knife-like eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "You guys must have received it too?"

Everyone didn't speak, obviously, it was quite tacit.

Wu Sangui took a deep breath when he heard the words, obviously he was a little bit annoyed. After all, Liu Dapao skipped over him, King Pingxi, and directly contacted his trusted generals, which was really a bit against the rules.

But he has the emperor in his hand, at least he can't say anything on the surface.

But the question is, since all ten of you have received direct orders from Liu Dapao, why didn't any of you tell me in advance?Are you still my direct descendants?

Forget about Ma Bao, after all, Ma Bao was originally surrendered by Li Dingguo's subordinates, so he can't be regarded as a direct descendant. Kangxi had been persuading himself to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty when he hadn't withdrawn from the vassal. He was also a little apprehensive, but...

"Wu Yingqi, Hu Guozhu, have you also received orders from Liu Dapao?"

This is Wu Yingqi, but his own nephew!Hu Guozhu is his own son-in-law!
"Returning to the prince, I also thought...such as Zhu Guozhi, Zhe Erken and others should be killed, so that the hearts of the three armies can be stabilized."

Wu Sangui was suddenly stunned, and for a long time his rather old brain couldn't turn the corner.

To be honest, Wu Sangui's anti-Qing heart is indeed not firm. In fact, he is still fantasizing until now. If Kangxi agrees to reconcile with him and no longer forcibly withdraws the domain, then it is actually possible for him to continue to be King Pingxi.

Even as long as he has not reached the north of the Yangtze River, he welcomes Kangxi to send envoys to negotiate with him at any time. As long as the stakes are high enough, it is not impossible to ask him to lead Kangxi's order to attack Chaozhou City.

After all, Kangxi is still a child. He is politically immature. From this withdrawal, we can clearly see the naivety and arrogance of this young monarch. As long as he shows his momentum and prestige in the early stage, he will be able to stand in Wu Sangui's hands. The possibility of forcing him to negotiate peace is very high.

Obviously, Liu Dapao had already calculated his thoughts first.

This is nothing unusual. They were all traitors in the three feudal states and four towns, and they were all forced to rebel by this withdrawal order. It is normal for Liu Dapao to be on guard against himself, and even contacted this in private. He was not surprised by the commander-in-chief of the four towns and ten battalions.

But he is just a junior, and he has never even met these ten general soldiers, so how can he win over him!This even included his son-in-law and nephew, his cronies. Although Ma Bao was the only one who did it, the silence of the other nine people was enough to explain the problem.

This is the next gram!

Thinking of this, Wu Sangui calmly said: "What do the rest of you mean? Prime Minister, have you ever received a letter from Liu Dapao or the so-called imperial edict."

Son-in-law Xia Guoxiang said: "I didn't receive my father's message, but I also thought that since we have raised troops, there is absolutely no room for compromise with the Qing court except life and death. I implore father to refuse to surrender. All the younger generations were killed, and their heads were hung to be circulated to the army, so as to calm the hearts of the Yunnan army."

"Hmm... Where's Guangchen?"

"My son also thought that he had to kill people to sacrifice the flag, so as to calm down the army."

"Um……"

Both Xia Guoxiang and Fang Guangchen are Wu Sangui's sons-in-law. Unlike the commanders-in-chief of the four towns and ten battalions who lead independent troops, Xia Guoxiang is actually Wu Sangui's deputy, and Fang Guangchen is his chief aide. right-hand man.

It was impossible for Liu Dapao to win over these two people anyway, and sure enough, Liu Dapao did not contact them in private.

But at the same time, the two of them also said in unison that they wanted to kill someone.

And look at the words.

To reassure the army.

Rather than to boost the morale of the army.

Thinking about it this way, Wu Sangui suddenly realized: Damn it, stocks!
