Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 200 The King of Strong Soldiers and Horses
"Prime Minister, are you really going to use troops against Zu Zeqing? At this moment?"

"Prime Minister, would you like to be a little gentler? After all, Zu Zeqing is my courtier of Daming, and maybe he can be transferred away through other methods."

Throughout the day, everyone who had the chance to meet Liu Dapao tried to persuade him.

After all, Zu Zeqing is not weak, he can be regarded as one of the vassals, although he is a bit obedient and disobedient, but it is human nature to be a warlord, after the battle is settled, he will slowly cut down his military power, it is really impossible to imitate Liu Bang killed Peng Yue. There have been many such people throughout the ages, and there have been many ways to deal with them. Isn't he still loyal in name?

Especially when beating a dog depends on the owner. Zu Zeqing is also Wu Sangui's cousin, the son of Zu Dashou, the leader of the previous generation of Liaodong Han generals.

Faced with such doubts, Liu Dapao's return to camp is often very simple: "Didn't I give Zu Zeqing ten days back? Why, could it be that he has turned his back?"

Everyone was speechless.

I really couldn't figure out why Liu Dapao was so determined to kill Zu Zeqing suddenly at this moment.

As for, will Zu Zeqing really give up the army and come to Chenghai alone to explain, explain der!Judging by Liu Dapao's posture, if he dared to enter Chenghai, it would be impossible for him to go back. Well, the best result is to arrange a knighthood for him, no more, no less, and he will definitely not be able to enter the executive board of directors' stocks or even options. with.

And when the next day, Emperor Jiunan's identity suddenly announced that he would hold a large-scale sacrificial event to pay homage to Emperor Yongli and Sun Kewang and other so-called loyal officials of the Ming court, and to build a loyal soul temple, the officials of civil and military circles Only then did he feel Liu Dapao's determination.

All three-year-olds know that it is impossible for Jiu Nan to make such a politically significant move without Liu Dapao's acquiescence.

And the matter of Yongli being killed is the favorite topic of scholars in the Qing court. Kangxi wanted Liu Dapao and Wu Sangui to kill each other in his dreams. As early as when Wu Sangui first rebelled, he had already Wu Sangui's memorabilia from that year was printed all over the world, and when he lost in the battle a few days ago, he wished that every scholar in the world would have a copy.

At that time, the Qing government had no intention of killing Yongli, and even wanted to bring Yongli to the capital to support his life. It was Wu Sangui's strong request that Yongli must be killed, and he still wanted to kill Yongli first.

No one can tell whether it was cut first and played later, but anyway, the Qing court now insists that it is, and Wu Sangui's solid evidence must be played.

What does Wu Sangui think about paying homage to Yongli at this time?

No one knows what Wu Sangui would think about the so-called knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, but Geng Jingzhong and Monk Zhixin really panicked. On the day of the memorial ceremony, Geng Jingzhong, who was in Chenghai, was wearing a plain suit and didn't want to face him at all. Yongli's small wooden sign burst into tears.

The misery of the cry, the true emotion, is simply earth-shattering, the cuckoo cries blood, those who don't know think Yongli is his real father.

This set of combined punches was too heavy and too ruthless, so that Zu Zeqing was stunned immediately after getting the news.

"My lord, you... What do you think we should do now? Fight or surrender?"

"Surrender? I have [-] elite soldiers. He, Liu Dapao, is stationed in Nanchang and Ningbo at the same time, and he wants to leave troops to garrison Chenghai. How many troops can he mobilize? Why should I surrender? He wants to fight Just let him fight, am I afraid of him?"

The subordinate smiled bitterly and said: "What the general said is true. The last general also expected that Liu Dapao would not be able to mobilize many troops. He might have to draw the retinue from Penghu to make up the number, but... the reason he attacked you was that you did not support the military reform. , and the key to the military reform is that the military expenditures are voluntarily made by the legion, the expenditure details are made public, and a committee is set up, this... I am afraid that most of the generals in the army already know about this matter."

"You mean...the soldiers in the army are all accepting the military reform in their hearts?"

"General, you are asking the question knowingly. If you don't say anything else, who in the army would not be happy about the transparency of military expenditures? If you are fighting with the prime minister of the court because of this, I am afraid that people who don't know will still I thought you drank the blood of their soldiers and became corrupt."

"........."

Hearing the words, Zu Zeqing immediately became angry, and couldn't help but said angrily: "What kind of blood do I drink, since the incident, have I received a tael of silver from the court and my cousin? How many taxes can Gao Leilian collect from the three continents, not to mention that I may not be able to collect it yet. I have already used my family wealth to raise soldiers with the money. Do I drink the blood of soldiers and drink my own blood? "

As he said that, Zu Zeqing was so wronged that he was about to cry.

What the hell is this called?

The problem is that the director sent by Liu Dapao really died of miasma himself!The Lingnan area has been plagued by miasma since ancient times. If you send a northerner here, he will have diarrhea on the third day, blood on the fifth day, coma on the eighth day, and die on the tenth day. It has something to do with me.

After all, Zu Zeqing opposed the military reform because he didn't want a mother-in-law in the army to control him. This is normal, after all, he is an out-and-out warlord. It's not even his father, he already formed his own system earlier, in essence he belongs to the Ming court with his own family background, he doesn't bring such a thing!
The problem is that this director is not the same as the supervising army in essence. Although it cannot be said that it does not represent Liu Dapao's will, the delegation of voting rights to each regiment actually leads to Liu Dapao's own will that can only affect the army after all. , really can't talk about controlling the army.

Picture what!

Hurting others is not beneficial to oneself!

Zu Zeqing felt like he was going to be driven crazy by Liu Dapao. This monarch was different from all the kings in history. Don't care about centralization at all.

Never played this game before.

The key is that this set of things is still so mature, the ghost knows how Liu Dapao thought of it, he has fought all his life anyway, but this time is really the most aggrieved.

"I heard that the prime minister plans to lead the army to come from the sea, and use Qiongzhou as the location of logistics supplies. In this way, the logistics supplies can be said to be impenetrable. The prime minister's firearms are powerful, and all the soldiers know that we have no strongholds. Facing the bombardment of artillery, this city wall is probably... unable to withstand it."

"I see."

Zu Zeqing waved his hand irritably, and asked after a while, "How long will Liu Dapao give me?"

"Ten days, if you leave for Chenghai now, there is still time."

"Ten days, the time is too tight, it's not enough for me to discuss it with my cousin, hey~, pass on my order, the whole army is ready for war."

"General, you still have to fight."

"Fight! Why not fight? Are generals still afraid of war? But we won't fight Liu Dapao."

"what?"

"Xiangxi! Let's fight Beihai, Wuzhou, and Sun Yanling, who eats soft food!"

"Ah? We...why did we beat Sun Yanling?"

"Why? It's because he opposed the military reform, and he acted in the opposite direction, and he did nothing for more than two years after the uprising. He behaved like a warlord who tried to support his own self-respect."

"........."

………………

On the other side, the capital of Hezhou.

Zhang Yong, Zhao Liangdong, Sun Sike, and Wang Jinbao gathered together in one place to welcome their sworn brother together.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhao, Brother Sun, Brother Wang, don't come here without any harm. I haven't seen you for a few years. The four brothers are now armed with heavy troops. It's really a sight to behold."

Seeing this, the four quickly stood up politely and said, "Master Wei, no, it should be called Wei Xiangguo now, hahaha."

"Hahaha, what is the Lord Xiangguo? The five of us are loyal brothers who kowtow on the ground. Let me call you Brother Wei. Let me introduce you. The one next to me is the famous Shenquan Invincible Gui Xin Shugui Second Master, Second Master, my four sworn brothers are the famous Four Generals of Hexi."

When the four of them heard the words, they knew that this was the master who broke into the Forbidden City at night and killed the Empress Dowager, and they all clasped their fists in salute after being shocked.

But Gui Xinshu snorted coldly, and said in a strange way: "Wei Xiangguo, you really have a lot of friends. Even the four Hexi generals have such a deep friendship with you. Speaking of which, the four can be regarded as the biggest in the world today." The four traitors are gone, seeing you today, Gui Mou is really lucky."

The four of them saw that Gui Xin Shu was so disrespectful, and immediately, their faces became gloomy, and they sat down again, looking at Wei Xiaobao.

"Gui Erye, I want to reminisce about the old days with my four sworn brothers. I won't bother you to protect me for the time being. You can go out and rest."

"Xiangguo"

"Get out! These four are friends who knocked their heads on the ground with me, will they still harm me?"

"This……"

Then I heard Zhang Yong say: "I heard that the martial arts of the seniors are world-class, but I don't know if your martial arts can stop the volley of hundreds of bird guns in this army formation? If the four of us really want to attack Wei Brother is not good, so with your fists surnamed Gui, what's the use?"

Gui Xinshu snorted coldly, "It's said that when a man gets angry, his blood splatters five steps, but how many punches can the four generals resist?"

"Return to the strong man, can you treat the four of us as powerless scholars?"

"Ok??"

Suddenly Wei Xiaobao slapped the table heavily: "Enough! Gui Xinshu, get out!"

"Humph!"

Gui Xinshu snorted angrily, then turned away unhappily.

Although they knew there was an element of acting in this matter, they had to say that the four of them were quite touched by Wei Xiaobao's generous letting of Gui Xinshu out.

"Brother Wei, you really are a brave man of high skill. Now that we are all masters, how dare you go to the meeting alone, admiration, admiration."

"Hey, we surnamed Wei believe in loyalty and brotherhood. We have agreed to be good brothers who share blessings and share hardships. I heard that the four elder brothers have been promoted to rank. As a younger brother, I made it a short distance from Chenghai. Come on, how could the four elder brothers harm me?"

I thought to myself, hot mom, if my younger brother forced me, and the emperor master begged me, you would think I would come.

The ghost knows that the four brothers who worshiped casually at the beginning have become people who control the world today. The world is impermanent, it is really strange.

Of course, before coming here, Liu Dapao also told him that if Wang Fuchen's Pingliang hadn't been lost when he arrived at the place, it meant that these four people were at least not sincerely helping Manqing. It is the thought of supporting oneself.

In the final analysis, if the four of them are tied together and twisted into one rope, they are at least one of the princes in the world, and their power is at least equivalent to the sum of Wang Fuchen and Wang Pingfan. As long as they are not careless, it is impossible to kill Wei Xiaobao , And he Liu Dapao will never die.

Zhang Yong also laughed out loud when he heard the words, poured a glass of wine for Wei Xiaobao himself and said, "Brother Wei, it's hard for us to be lied to. I really didn't expect that you are Liu Xiang's brother. My four brothers got together because of time and luck. But it is far inferior to Brother Wei who is under Ming Ting alone and above ten thousand people."

"Hahaha, no matter where, I still can't compare with the four elder brothers. I heard that Xiao Xuanzi has made the four of you kings?"

Zhang Yong said calmly: "Yes, there is indeed such a thing. We can also guess the reason for Brother Wei's visit. The four of us are also Han Chinese. Of course, we also know that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, but our four brothers are all based in the northwest. , the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers are in their hands.

The northwest is no better than the southeast. The Qing court is powerful. Prince An Yue Le personally led the elite of the Eight Banners here. If there is a real rebellion, I am afraid that they may not be Yue Le's opponent. In the west, there is Galdan from Erut Mongolia, who is watching. It is said that Galdan has been planning to form an alliance with the Qing court recently. If there is an attack from two fronts, I am afraid that disaster will be imminent.

But brother Wei, don't worry, as soon as Prime Minister Liu's army comes to the northwest, the four of us promise to surrender immediately without saying a word, and we five brothers will spend the rest of our lives in Chenghai, wouldn't we be happy to drink and talk every day? "

Wei Xiaobao slandered inwardly, if the army of the f*cking juniors can reach the northwest, then the whole world is probably settled, so there is nothing left for you to squirm about.

But he quickly said, "Understood, understood, didn't I come to congratulate the four elder brothers? The four elder brothers have come to the end of their hardships, and they have honored their ancestors, but this is the position of the vassal king... Four elder brothers, this The Man Qing’s words are not quite right, the world is in such a state today, isn’t it because of Xiao Xuanzi’s insistence on withdrawing the domain? You are not afraid that he will kill the donkey afterwards and let you go back to Wu Sangui’s old path?”

The four of them looked at each other when they heard the words, Zhang Yong said with a smile: "If you want to say that you are afraid, there is indeed a little bit, but brothers, even if the Qing court had the heart to withdraw the four of us, how could he withdraw us?" What about the brother's strength?"

"To put it bluntly, the world is now in a chaotic world where rites and music are broken, and in the chaotic world, in the final analysis, it is the person with the big fist who has the final say. The so-called king of soldiers with strong horses and strong horses, brother, do you think the four of us are still alive now?" Can't you call it the four words of military strength and horse strength?"
