Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 736

What kind of end point can match the ups and downs of this road.

Wu Sangui spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell straight down.

"Big guy!"

"Big guy!"

In a panic, a group of Guan Ning generals rushed to help Wu Sangui.The news of Mu Huguan shocked everyone.Wu Sangui asked again and again, but still couldn't believe the news, so he sent his confidant servant to Muhuguan to check, but the servant brought back the head of his confidant General He Jinzhong.

Comes in a nice lacquered box.

Looking at the familiar old brother, who was his former admiral half a day ago, but now his body has been separated, he couldn't believe it.

Wu Sangui was trembling all over, and kept yelling that he was too much of a bully, but looking around, all the generals were silent, especially Xu Yong, Zhao Liangdong, Wang Fuchen and others who had just been recruited by him, their eyes were wandering and their expressions were uncertain.

He immediately understood that the situation was over.

Out of breath and angry, he vomited blood and fainted.

1 former army soldiers beat dogs with horse meat buns and never returned, even the former army generals were cut off.

It is said that they resisted the order and did not obey it, that they rebelled.

Wu Sangui woke up leisurely.

I found that I had returned to Lantian Pass.

A group of generals from the Guan Ning Army surrounded him. Generals Yang Kun, Sun Wenhuan, Wu Chaozhong, and Li Kezhi saw him wake up and hurried up to greet him.

"Master."

"What's going on now?"

Zhu Zhongyi, the admiral of No. 18 town of the imperial camp, and his vanguard have arrived at Lantian Pass and stationed in Lanqiao Town.

The most dangerous gateway of Lanwuguan is Wuguan, and then Qingniguan. The current Lantianguan is not as dangerous as Qingniguan, especially after Lanqiao Town was also lost, and now the gateway in Guanzhong has been opened.

Back then, when Liu Bang went to the west to march, he took a detour to Nanyang, broke through Wuguan, and then entered Guanzhong first.In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, when Tubo defeated Chang'an, Guo Ziyi also defended Wuguan, gathered the remnants of the army, and finally gained momentum to go north, regain Guanzhong, and drive out the bandits.

Previously Wu Sangui blocked Nikan and other remnant soldiers in Shangluo Mountain, which was equivalent to using them as a buffer to keep the imperial camp out of the pass.

He never imagined that the imperial court had always been very kind before, but why did it suddenly take action.And the timing was so coincidental. He lured Nikan to go west, and then Qingnigou ambushed Nikan. He just won a big victory. As a result, the Ming army followed the Qing army and captured Shangluo. swallowed.

Especially when they beheaded He Jinzhong, he was extremely shocked.

He never thought that the imperial court would suddenly be so cruel.

"Hey!"

"Master, there is one more thing."

"Xu Yong, Zhao Liangdong, Wang Fuchen and those thieves, when they saw that the momentum was not right, they immediately rebelled. They took advantage of our retreat and returned to Lantian, launched a mutiny, and even coerced many soldiers and horses to leave together,"

Wu Sangui seemed to be much older.

"How many people did not retreat?"

"There are more than 1."

"Commander, please give me an order. The last general is willing to lead his troops to kill all those thieves."

Wu Sangui didn't say a word. Since Xu Yong and Zhao Liangdong were able to turn against the Tartars and stab the Tartars, it's not unusual for them to turn around and turn to the court now.

If they hadn't seen He Jinzhong's head, they might have joined him, but now that the imperial court and Wu Sangui are choosing sides, no one will choose him.

At this time, those people must have surrendered at the Shepherd Pass.

"Marshal, the Son of Heaven doesn't keep his word, we can't obey him!"

"Marshal, no matter where we go, we will follow him."

Wu Sangui was not too moved when he heard these words, because many generals surrounded him, but only seven or eight people said these things.

Most of the others remained silent, and some even advised them not to be impulsive.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to Shanhaiguan.

Some people advised him to go back to Xi'an, others advised him to stick to Lantian, but Wu Sangui knew that the general situation was over, and he didn't believe that Zhu Zhongyi did it alone, it was definitely ordered by the emperor.

When the emperor made this decision, how would he fight against it.

If a year earlier, the Qing court still occupied the north, he might be able to fight his last battle, but now, the Ming army is surrounded on all sides.

"Bring a pen and paper. I want to plead guilty to the imperial court. It is a certain person who has no way to control his subordinates, which led to the misunderstanding and conflict at Muhu Pass."

"Big guy!"

Some of his confidants felt very sad, but Wu Sangui finally stopped hesitating. He had no capital, and he still had more than [-] people under his command, and there were still some soldiers in Guanzhong, but he knew very well that if he really dared to raise the flag, he would The end will be the same as that of He Jinzhong.

He hasn't been in Guanzhong for a long time, and he doesn't have the slightest foundation, how to raise the flag.

He invited his brother Wu Sanfu, and asked him to go to Muhuguan to deliver the letter of guilt on his behalf.

"Please the imperial court treat these soldiers kindly,"

"I am willing to hand over my military power and let the Hou court decide."

······
Shepherd closes.

Zhu Zhongyi beheaded He Jinzhong directly, which was unexpected by everyone, after all, he had already surrendered.But Zhu Zhongyi still directly asked Fang Jian, the monk with Wang Ming's banner, to chop him off.

But only Admiral He Jinzhong was cut off, and the others were not cut off.

Those [-] former troops surrendered almost without dying. After surrendering, they were disarmed and sent to Nanyang.As a result, there is a high probability that officers will be temporarily retained, but they will be sent to lecture halls and military academies for two or three years of further study, and some elderly and disabled officers may be discharged directly.

Soldiers under the age of 30, those with disabilities, and those under the age of 20 will be discharged directly from the army and resettled.

Those who are 30 years old can only be strong. These soldiers will also be scattered to the imperial camps, towns, provincial patrol and garrison camps, etc. Horse soldiers, artillery, archers, musketeers, etc. are given priority. Other ordinary infantry and auxiliary soldiers are also likely to be used. dismissed.

Zhu Zhongyi believed that Wu Sangui was the kind of person who would take the tough but not the soft.

It was good enough for him. Before, for the sake of the overall situation, the emperor tolerated him and resorted to it again and again.Also gave him enough time, but unfortunately he is always ignorant of current affairs.

Under the current situation, Zhu Zhongyi also used strong medicine for his serious illness. He not only followed the Qing army westward, but also directly attacked He Jinzhong with 1 people, forced him to land, and then chopped He Jinzhong, gave his head to Wu Sangui, and forced him to surrender his military power. .

Zhu Zhongyi was not afraid that Wu Sangui would not join him.

Not only is his No.18 town deployed on the edge of Shaanxi, and it can close the net at any time. Zhu Dingguo in Hubei, as well as Shanxi, Hanzhong, and northern Shaanxi, Longyou, and Hexi have deployed soldiers and horses. Several towns are besieged by people and horses. What will Wu Sangui do? resistance?
Moreover, the emperor had already said that Wu Sangui had Huizhou merchants in his bones, the kind of businessmen who were shrewd in calculations, and liked to look forward and backward in doing things, vacillating.

Song Jin fought and fled, and Shanhaiguan swayed repeatedly, surrendering first and then surrendering. In his bones, he was not the kind of really tough person.

People who are too calculating do not have the determination and will to really break the boat. What's more, until now, few of Wu Sangui's subordinates will be as tough as him.

The Guanning Army can fight, but after entering the customs, this Guanning Army is no longer what it used to be.

"Make a bet, Wu Sangui will send someone to plead guilty before dark."

Zhu Zhongyi was drinking tea and looking at the map in Lanqiao Town. The other generals felt that Guo Xingye acted a little boldly this time. Even if he showed the emperor's secret decree, they always felt that they should be cautious about such a big matter.

Especially killing He Jinzhong is not very necessary.

"The snow embraces the blue pass and the horses are not moving forward. The scenery here is really beautiful, but it is cold in the mountains. I still hope to go to Xi'an city to rest early."

"Okay, I'll bet with Junmen, what are you betting on?" Liu Jinzhong asked with a smile.

"How about betting on a sheep, I heard that the mutton tastes the best in Guanzhong."

"The best mutton must be Ningxia Tan sheep, that's authentic. I'll bet with Junmen on a Ningxia Tan sheep. If Wu Sangui comes here before sunset today, please surrender. When I get to Chang'an, I will definitely get a Ningxia Tan sheep." Come on, let’s grill the lamb chops and stew the lamb’s hooves for the army to enjoy!”

"It's a word."

"Then what if the military gate loses?"

Zhu Zhongyi looked confident, "I can't lose. If I lose, I will pay you a camel."

As soon as the words were finished, Wu Sangui from Lantian sent his brother Wu Sanfu to deliver a letter of guilt.

Wu Sanfu brought him into the camp and sent Wu Sangui's letter.

Wu Sangui is willing to hand over his military power, but he only wants to treat his generals well.

After Zhu Zhongyi looked at it, he just poured another cup of tea very flatly.

"If it wasn't General Wu Sanfu but General Wu Sangui who came here, then the admiral would have believed it. Now, the admiral can't believe it. Your Majesty is kind enough to appease General Wu Sangui, high-ranking officials, nobles, and favors. Which one has not been fulfilled? But What Wu Sangui said was rarely fulfilled."

After finishing speaking, he smiled at Liu Jinzhong, "Deputy Admiral Liu owes me a Ningxia Tan sheep."

"Don't worry, what you say is what you say." He looked at Wu Sanfu and asked Zhu Zhongyi with a smile, "What is Guoxing going to do now?"

Zhu Zhongyi said directly to Wu Sanfu, "General Wu, please go back to Lantian and tell General Wu Sangui that the mistake He Jinzhong made, I hope General Wu will not do it again.

If General Wu still has the imperial court and His Majesty in his eyes, then please pass on the emperor's decree to him, and ask him to hand over his military power immediately. Within three days, all the officers above his command will come to our camp in Lanqiao Town. The admiral will personally read the emperor's will to them, and send troops to escort them to Tokyo to face the holy. "

Wu Sanfu hesitated.

"There are only three days. If I don't see Wu Sangui and his generals after three days, then the admiral will launch an attack on Lantian Pass. Moreover, not only my No. 18 imperial battalion will march to Guanzhong, The surrounding towns will also send troops together, and when the time comes, we will meet Chang'an!"

"Let Wu Sangui think carefully about it. Now that he enters the court, he will still be rich, but if he persists in his obsession, he will bear the consequences."

Wu Sanfu asked Zhu Zhongyi, "How can we trust that Lord Guoxing won't trap and kill us?"

"The imperial court really wants to exterminate you, why use those methods, can you still afford those methods now?"

"Time is urgent, so I won't keep General Wu Sanfu for dinner, please go back!"

······
In the heavy snow, Wu Sanfu rode on his horse very lonely, and returned to Lantian alone in the snow.

After Wu Sangui listened to his brother's report, he was silent for a long time.

"Call the generals."

At the meeting, Wu Sangui first asked Wu Sanfu to relay Zhu Zhongyi's words.

"This commander has implicated He Jinzhong, and now I don't want to implicate everyone anymore. My brothers have been with me for many years, and it is not easy. Now, this commander has decided to enter the court according to the order."

"Master, don't believe me!"

Wu Sangui has already made up his mind, "I will go to Lanqiao in a while, and I can arrive before dark. If you believe in me, you can go with me. If you don't believe it, you can stay first , wait for two days if the commander-in-chief is still fine, and you come back."

"Think twice, Commander, this time, the world will have nothing to do with Ning Jun."

Wu Sangui sighed, "When I surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in Shanhaiguan, the world has nothing to do with the Ning Army. If Guan Ningjin is lost, what about Guan Ning Army?"

The generals were silent.

More than half of the people finally chose to follow Wu Sangui to the Blue Bridge, and the other half planned to stay and wait and see. If Zhu Zhongyi coaxed everyone into the Ming camp and then used the knife, they would not be caught in the same pot.

It was snowing heavily, Wu Sangui rode on his horse, and led a group of generals out of Lantian to Mingying to surrender.
