Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 138 Qing Tian is Dead
The time has come to May in the tenth year of Kangxi, which is the fifth month of the lunar calendar, and it is already midsummer!
The Sichuan Basin in the southwest is now shrouded in scorching heat.It is scorching hot, and the bright sun is like fire.

Such a hot weather, stuffy and hot, the air under the sun seems to be scalding hot, it is really not a good time to use force.But the storm of war, no matter how hot the weather is, is still slowly but firmly blowing towards the southwest corner of the Sichuan Basin!
On the road from Fushun County of Xuzhou Prefecture to Shunqing Prefecture, dozens of knights hanging under the Yamen of the General Army in Qujing, Yunnan, surrounded by Wang Zhongxiao, Lu Sanhao and others, rushed to the imperial envoy, the Minister of Military Affairs of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, Prince An, and Wang Yue. The place where music resides.He is going to report to Yue Le the results of this trip to the state capital, and if there is no accident, he will also participate in the grand military meeting of the imperial envoy President Xingyuan as the commander-in-chief!
At this moment, Wang Zhongxiao's tanned face, who was walking forward under the scorching sun, was full of vigorous expressions.

In the eyes of outsiders, this high-spirited spirit must be because he received another award from Emperor Kangxi not long ago, from a sticky pole commander with the rank of general soldier to the official general soldier of Qujing, Yunnan. Although Qujing Mansion is still in Pingxi Palace The following are all under the control of Wu Guogui.But as long as the army commanded by Yue Le defeats Wu Yingqi, the second son of Pingxi King Wu Sangui in the next battle, then Wang Zhongxiao can really take office.

However, the current imperial envoy to the President, Prince An, Yue Le was very interesting to arrange for him to be the commander-in-chief, and gave him a start-up fee to let him shut down the yamen first.

Later, with Yue Le's consent, Wang Zhongxiao seconded some officers and soldiers from the various ministries controlled by the President and Minister Xingyuan, plus the servants he brought himself, and the priests and civilian officers who were originally compiled by the sticky poles, and they were so-so. There were two 300 people.

Although Wang Zhongxiao has always been famous for his bravery, and now he has become the chief soldier and has pulled up a team of 300 people, but Yue Le has no intention of letting him go to the front line, based on the fact that he is using him as an "internal diplomat".

No, he just went to Wu Yingqi's place with Lu Sanhao, who was promoted to the alternate road in Yunnan, and conveyed to Wu Yingqi the imperial edict of Emperor Kangxi - according to this edict, when Wu Yingqi sent his father After Pingxi King Wu Sangui was sent to Prince An Yue Le, he would immediately be granted the title of hereditary first-class prince, and then he would get the iron scroll of the book of elixirs that he wanted most to avoid death.

In addition, Wu Yingqi's son Wu Shicong will also accept the appointment of the Southern Sichuan General Soldier, the Southern Sichuan Tuanlian, and the Minister of Tuntian at the same time, and will immediately start presiding over the affairs of the two prefectures of Xuzhou, Ningyuan, and Luzhou.

The [-] soldiers under Wu Yingqi's jurisdiction will all be transferred to Wu Shicong's control, and they will be stationed in Xuzhou Prefecture, Ningyuan Prefecture, and Luzhou.

That is to say, as long as Wu Yingqi takes Wu Sangui to Beijing for retirement, he can get a hereditary first-class public, get the gold medal for avoiding death, and keep his own army, and even get Xuzhou, Ningyuan, etc. The territory of the two prefectures and Luzhou and one state.

Such a condition is so generous that it is unreal!
After learning of these "untrue" favorable conditions, Wu Yingqi did not suspect fraud, but said that he would leave Yibin and arrive in Fushun with his son Wu Shicong with [-] elite soldiers around the sixth day of June.And I hope to meet Prince An Yue Le in Fushun County, be granted the title of first-class public, and get the death-free card.

And his son Wu Shicong will also accept the canonization of Southern Sichuan General Soldier, Southern Sichuan Tuanlian, and Tuntian Minister in Fushun!

After that, Wu Yingqi and Wu Sangui will follow Yue Le to the north to retire.
The battle of Yunnan seems to be won without a fight soon, oh, maybe there will be a fierce ambush to be fought!
When Wang Zhongxiao arrived at Shunqingfu City, the city built along the Jialing River almost became a storage center and a material transfer base. The boat transported them to Shunqing Prefecture. It was all the fat and cream of the people that Mo Luo scraped from poor places like Shaanxi and Gansu!

Together with these minzhimin pastes, there are brigades driving mules, horses, carts, and wheelbarrows from Gansu and Shanxi. Like ants moving, they will be transported to Shunqing through Chencang Road, Micang Road and then waterways. All kinds of materials from the government were transferred to Zizhou, Luzhou, and Jiading, which were closer to the frontier.

The convoy of people and horses from the brigade came and went around the Shunqing Prefecture City, and stunned to trample the official road that was covered with weeds.

In order to supply grain and grass to the frontlines of Sichuan, Mo Luona, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, really put all his energy into feeding - don't think that the supply of tens of thousands of people is a small battle, it is sending grain to Sichuan!
What does it mean that the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky?

How difficult it was for Zhuge Kongming who left the Qishan Mountains six times back then, it is even more difficult for Mo Luo, the current governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi!

After all, Zhuge Liang raised food in Sichuan, the land of abundance, and transported it to Gansu and Shaanxi, while Mo Luo scraped land in Shaanxi and Gansu, a barren land, and sent it to Sichuan. That was the hometown of Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Gao Yingxiang!

After Yue Le entered the town of Sichuan, in addition to fooling Wu Yingqi, he also urged all the troops to step up their training, and organized several large training sessions with the participation of the Eight Banners New Army and the Green Camp New Army.

This clan veteran and elder who has been lying flat at home since Kangxi ascended the throne seems to have regained the prestige and arrogance he had when he followed Dorgon, Duoduo, Haoge and other older clan kings to enter the Guanping world. , neatly dressed, against the sun that is bigger than the foot basin, riding a horse across the army with a horizontal knife, with a straight back, getting on and off the horse, coming and going like flying, seems to have completely found the feeling of being on the battlefield back then.

It's just that those Eight Banners children who grew up in Beijing are suffering. How hot it is in the Sichuan Basin!They have to train in array against the sun, moving forward for a while, retreating for a while, and changing formations for a while. The training lasts for most of the day. After each training session, there will be a large group of heat strokes, and sometimes a few will die from the heat!
But Yue Le knows what it means to be merciful and not in charge of soldiers. How about training this army well, and when they turn around and talk to Wu Yingqi, they will collapse, and when they really go to the battlefield, the army formation will not be able to be set up, so what's the matter?

Yue Le himself is the president's military training minister, of course he knows that the Eight Banners new army under him is still far from the real elite soldiers!
So no matter how hot the weather is, no matter how much sweat you sweat, Yue Le won't relax at all, even if it's a bit hot to death.

Under his strict supervision, the Three Towns and Eight Banners and the New Army of the Green Battalion finally looked a little better.Therefore, Yue Le is in a very good mood these days, and his hearty laughter can be heard from time to time in the government office of the imperial envoy.The guards, masters, and Ghoshha all relaxed. It seems that the situation is very good. It seems that it will not be too long before everyone can leave Sichuan and return to Beijing to enjoy the blessings!
But today, as soon as Wang Zhongxiao and Lu Sanhao, who were sent out to run errands by Yue Le, came back, the imperial envoy's face darkened again, and he immediately gave the order to beat drums and gather generals!
At this time, the generals of the Eight Banners New Army, Green Camp New Army, and Ganshan Green Camp under the control of Yue Le have already gathered in Shunqing Mansion and waited to participate in this big army meeting!

Therefore, shortly after the sound of the drums of gathering generals sounded in the city of Shunqing Prefecture, there was a big scene where a group of generals gathered on the Xingyuan Hall of the Minister of Military Affairs of Yunguichuan, President of the Imperial Envoy.

According to the system of the Eight Banners New Army and the Green Camp New Army, the head of a new army in a town is called the president minister, and at least they are all senior members of the admiral's army. The lower ranks are the military leaders at all levels, such as the Xietai (Deputy Commander), General (Participant) and so on.

Now Yue Le has three new troops under his command. Including himself, there are three presidents and ministers, and six wing generals (dutong) with a total of nine people.Mo Luo, governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, brought two admirals and four generals to Sichuan this time, and he himself was seven.In addition, Sichuan governor Luo Sen and Yunnan governor Li Tianyu are also in Shunqing Mansion these days, so they were also called by Yue Le's people to participate in the Shunqing Mansion military meeting together.

In addition, Wang Zhongxiao and Lu Yifeng, who just came back from the Syrian state capital, must also participate in this big military meeting.

At this moment, there are a total of twenty or so people gathered in the hall of the president and ministers.Among them, the coach Yue Le sat at the table, while the others stood up in different shifts, and then saluted him in the court together. The "President Prince".

Everyone who is qualified to participate in the military discussion today certainly knows that Emperor Kang Mazi will never let Pingxi Fan go. Now that Wu Sangui is probably gone, Wu Yingqi and Wu Guogui, two dutiful sons, may merge at any time, and Wu Yingxiong is another Eat big bears that are grilled inside and out.With the meanness and ungratefulness of today's Emperor Xiao Mazi, can Pingxi Fan be spared?
That's a bloodbath!

Although the bloodbath of the Pingxi Fan is a bit unreasonable, it is also an opportunity for the big guys to step on the corpses of the soldiers of the Pingxi Fan to climb up!
These upright officials are now like vicious wolves who smell the smell of blood, waiting for Yue Le's order, they will pounce on and bite Pingxi Fan's big fat and tender pig.

Yue Le stood up, smiled faintly at the generals below, and glanced over one by one.He cupped his hands slowly, and then picked up a yellow-covered booklet that had been placed on the table a long time ago: "By the holy order! This king has been appointed as the general of Dingyuan Pingkou. The generals of the armies of Kunming, Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces have full power to dispatch and act cheaply. You should respect the sacred heart, fear the military law, follow orders and be cautious, and encourage the killing of thieves!"

This is the real face-to-face fight!

Before that, Emperor Kangxi did not clarify the matter of the Pingxi Fan's war in the form of an edict. Although the army has already suppressed the border, it may also be to force the Pingxi Fan to submit to the court, accept the reduction of troops and internal power changes, etc. condition.

But now, it's really time to fight!

The civil servants and generals in the background have long been looking forward to beating the dog in the water, and now they have raised their breath from their stomachs, and shouted "嗻", which shook the hall and echoed!
After announcing the emperor's decision to go to war, Yue Le's face was still gloomy. He sat down behind the official case, cleared his throat, and cupped his hands in the void again: "The emperor's sage is wise and clever, comparable to Zhuge Kongming, and Wu Yingqi, a jumping clown, has already In the trap!
Around the sixth day of June, he will lead [-] elite soldiers from the city of Xuzhou to escort his father, King Pingxi, to Fushun County to meet me and accept the title of first-class official. Maybe there will be an opportunity to escort his father to Fushun to start a rebellion!Otherwise, it's just sending an old man who has suffered a stroke. Does it need [-] troops?

That's why the emperor ordered this king to follow the plan, set up an ambush along the way, and destroy it in one fell swoop, so as to eliminate the great trouble in the southwest forever! "

This is really the most shameless thing to set up the most beautiful archway!

Wang Zhongxiao, who was also standing among a group of upright officials below, thought to himself: Fortunately, Wu Sangui has made great progress with my help, otherwise he really can't beat Kang Mazi!

At this time, Prince An Yue Le paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "Although there are 4 to [-] officers and soldiers here in Sichuan, the one who can really win the fight against the elite soldiers of the Xi Fan is the new general of the Three Towns, Gan Shan. There are more than [-] people in the green battalion, counting the amount, [-] people are close to each other. Wu Yingqi said that he brought [-] soldiers to Fushun, but I don’t believe him to be so honest, saying that [-] is [-]. I will give him an extra Even if he has [-] people, [-] beats [-], I have the advantage! Moreover, this king will set up an ambush near Fushun County and on the way from Yibin to Fushun County, and beat him to the ground!"

Listening to Yue Le's unhurried words, the civil servants and generals below can roughly figure out how Yue Le's ambush will be set up. There are Tuojiang River and Rongxi River around Fushun County, which is a good place to fight halfway. place.The terrain to the south of Fushun County is relatively open, which is conducive to the activities of the Eight Banners cavalry. On the west side of this plain is a row of mountain ridges, just for ambush.

This ambush is about to be completed, and Wu Yingqi's little fortune will be handed over to the Syrian state capital!
At this time, Yue Lekai is on the point of general: "The left wing of the middle army of the Eight Banners New Army is in charge, the right wing of the middle army of the Eight Banners New Army is in charge, the president minister of the rear army of the Green Camp New Army, the left wing commander of the rear army of the Green Camp New Army, and the rear wing of the Green Camp New Army The right-wing commander of the army!"

The five generals named are Jueluo Jihali, Garhan, Sun Sike, Ma Siwen, Su Lang, and Yishui's Eight Banners generals. The difference is only Manqi, Mongolian and Hanjunqi.

Five people lined up in a row and bowed together: "My lord, please give me an order!"

Yue Le ordered loudly: "You wait for five people to command the headquarters and set up ambush with the king in the area around Tazi Mountain and Shigu Temple in the southwest of Fushun County!"

"Whoo!"

The fifth general answered loudly, and then took orders to return to his place.After that, Yue Le went on to order generals: "The former President of the Eight Banners New Army, the Minister of the Army, Shuncheng County King, I ordered you to join the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, the commander in chief of Shaanxi, and the admiral of Gansu to lead the troops of the headquarters and set up ambush around Fushun County."

"Whoo!"

Le Erjin, Mo Luo, Bai Yongfu, and Wang Jinbao who were called out loudly accepted the order again.

"Governor of Sichuan, Governor of Yunnan, Alternate Road of Yunnan!" Yue Le called out several official names.

This time, the new governor of Sichuan, Luo Sen, the governor of Yunnan, Li Tianyu, and the alternate Daoist of Yunnan, Lu Sanhao, are on the list.

Yue Le said: "Luo Futai, take this bid to guard Fushun County, and protect Prince Pingxi's son. Li Futai, Lu Sanhao, you two will accompany Prince Pingxi's son in Fushun County and wait for King Pingxi to arrive."

Although Yue Le and the others felt that Wu Sangui had already died, they still had to do some superficial work, after all, Wu Yingqi hadn't reported the funeral to the court yet.So Wu Yingxiong had to go with him to Fushun County to be a filial son. Even if it was Wu Sangui who was lying in the coffin, he, a filial son, had to be responsible for the mourning!
Luo Sen, Li Tianyu, and Lu Sanhao also took orders.Yue Le took one last look at Wang Zhongxiao who was standing in the corner, "Wang Shikai!"

"The last general is here." Wang Zhongxiao hurried out.

Yue Le smiled and said: "Your dispatch, the emperor already said it during the military parade in Fengtai, do you remember?"

"At the end of the day, I will remember that the protection and worship are comprehensive." Wang Zhongxiao replied.

Yue Le nodded: "What if I can't protect you?"

Wang Zhongxiao was taken aback for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Yue Ledao: "The emperor told me that Dai Xiangfeng is a rare talent in using cannons, and he must never fall into the hands of the enemy, do you understand?"

Oh, there is a "wish purpose"!Wang Zhongxiao understood. Kangxi meant that if Dai Zi couldn't be protected, he would kill him!
Such talents cannot fall into the hands of Wu Sangui (Wu Yingqi)!
Wang Zhongxiao quickly replied: "I understand, I know what to do!"

Yue Le nodded, and then said with a smile: "This is just in case, although I am fully confident in Fushun's battle, I still need to be prepared in case!" He looked at the group of generals and Feng Jiang who were eager to try. The official smiled and said, "Let's end here for today's meeting. The weather is hot, everyone, go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow we will send troops to the south!"

"Whoo!"

At the same time, in Yibin, the capital city of Syria, which was heavily guarded, Wu Sangui, the Western King of the Qing Dynasty and the President of the Revival of the Ming Dynasty, had already added a piece of clothes to himself regardless of the scorching heat. A yellow hood.

I saw him standing on the top of the capital city of Xuzhou, looking at the [-] soldiers who had changed into yellow robes and red scarves below, with a look of excitement.Behind him, two large banners have been erected, one with the words "Reviving the Great President of the Ming Dynasty Wu", and the other with the words "Qing Tian is dead, Zhou Tian should be established, and the land should be divided equally." , the world is in peace!"
On the left and right of Wu Sangui, stood Wu Yingqi and Wu Guogui, who were said to have turned against each other, their sons Wu Shicong and Wu Shijue, Wu Sangui's three sons-in-law Xia Guoxiang, Hu Guozhu, and Guo Zhuangtu, and Fang Guangchen, the three major military advisers under Wu Sangui's command. , Liu Xuanchu, Wang Shirong.

At this moment, Wu Sangui suddenly opened his throat and shouted loudly: "Qingtian is dead, Zhoutian should be established, the land is divided, and the world is safe. Sangui has been in the Qingying camp for more than [-] years, just to be able to be with the lords today. , go northward to the Central Plains, drive out the Tartars, restore China, and rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty. Are you willing to follow the heavens and people with Sangui and accomplish great things together?"
