Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 181 It's gratifying, are your sons filial? (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

With a bang, Shang Zhixin smashed a teacup violently, as if he was still angry, he picked up a brush and shook it violently, and it shattered again.Geshha and Da Baoyi, who followed him, stood aside with their hands down and their shoulders down, not daring to show their air.

Because the trip to Zhaoqing went smoothly, Wang Fuchen and Kong Sizhen were all fooled by him. This is a matter of course, he, Wang Fuchen and Kong Sizhen were all friends who played with the late emperor back then, and they couldn't be more familiar with each other.

It can be said that this time, in order to help his family regain the three counties of Xiangshan, Xinning, and Xinhui and control the Guangdong Customs Road, he really risked his 20-year friendship and stopped being a villain.He thought that leading troops to recapture the three counties would give him the son of the son of Haoao.Unexpectedly, that old thing Shang Kexi didn't even talk to him, so he gave Shang Zhixiao the task of fighting Haoao and collecting the three counties, and even gave Shang Zhixiao an army of [-]!
Ten thousand troops!

The 1 assistants directly under Shangfan have only [-] book soldiers, so it would be nice to be able to pull out [-] soldiers if they are exhausted!Even if you add the troops of the left and right wing commanders who have always been under the control of Shangfan, there are only a little more than [-] at the top.

Although Guangdong governor Zhu Guozhi and Guangdong admiral Li Lan participated in this troop dispatch, as well as Chen Shikai who was not appointed as the commander-in-chief of Zhaoqing but changed to the commander-in-chief of the newly established Humen Town (expanded from the Humen Association of the Guangdong Navy). But Shangfan is still the big one!

It can be said that for Shangfan, this battle is also a bit of a one-off action-whether Shangfan can dominate Guangdong in the future depends on whether he can win the pocketbook of Hao'ao Commercial City this time!
If Shang Zhixiao led the Shang Fan elite to accomplish this great event, then Shang Zhixiao, who already had a high reputation in the Guangdong Fan, would definitely overwhelm Shang Zhixin, the real son.If it was still the time when the Qing court ruled the world, then Shang Zhixin would not be afraid of anything. Shang Kexi, that old counselor, was as fearful as a tiger, and there was no one in Shang Fan who was not afraid of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers.

That's why Shang Kexi didn't dare to replace Al Da Gong, who was personally appointed by Master Shunzhi—this slave is there, how dare Shang Kexi have a second heart for his son?
But now the Qing Dynasty is in turmoil. Not only Wu Sangui wants to compete with the Qing Dynasty, but there is also news of Li Zicheng's resurrection from Huguang. Li Zicheng is alive, and Kangxi can still control Guangdong?

As long as the Shang family and the Wang family do not openly take refuge in Wu Sangui or simply become emperor themselves, they can probably be regarded as good courtiers of the Qing Dynasty, right?

Under such circumstances, Shang Kexi, an old man who is unfaithful and unfilial, wants to remove the first son of my father Shang Zhixin and replace him with his second son Shang Zhixiao?Of course, the premise is that Shang Zhixiao's own prestige is sufficient.
Thinking of this, he slapped the table furiously.After Shang Zhixiao successfully returned from the surprise attack on Haoao, his heir would probably be done. The current heir of Prince Pingnan is not a governor, but a position that can be up or down.After losing his son, he will be imprisoned next, and when Shang Zhixiao becomes the prince, then he should go down to accompany Shang Kexi, an unfaithful and unfilial father!
The more he thought about it, the more Shang Zhixin's body trembled, and all kinds of thoughts intertwined together, so that he finally jumped up roaring: "Get everything ready for me! I won't serve you anymore, I'm going back to the capital!"

Several Da Baoyi who followed him from Beijing to the south immediately agreed, turned around and went out to clean up, preparing to "make room" for Shang Zhixiao.Several officials who had been staying at Shizi Mansion in Guangzhou did not move.These people glanced at each other, and a 50-[-]-year-old military officer wearing a red hat walked up to Shang Zhixin and reminded him in a low voice: "The people in the Guangdong clan who are not very satisfied with the prince and the second master are actually Quite a few!"

"Dissatisfied with the old thing and the second child? Why?" Although Shang Zhixin was furious, he was not dizzy, and knew to ask why?
This second-rank military officer is called Li Tianzhi, and he is currently the right chief under the Pingnan Prince's Mansion. Earlier, he was the deputy governor under Shang Zhixin's command. He has been staying in the Shizi Mansion in Guangzhou and is Shang Zhixin's representative in the feudal domain.

"My lord, isn't this obvious? The world is in such a mess today, of course someone wants to find a hero who founded the country! My lord, haven't you thought about this? I heard that when you were in the capital, you and The relationship between Prince Xi and his son is very good. If you can keep Prince Xi and his son from conquering the world, are you afraid that you won’t have the wealth and honor of Yongzheng in Guangdong in the future? On the contrary, if the Manchu court pacifies King Xi, will you still keep Pingnan Palace? This truth is not only known by many vassals, but also by a few young masters! But the prince and the second young master want to be the loyal slaves of the Manchus."

Shang Zhixin calmed down a bit, of course he understood what Li Tianzhi said.And he also knows the reason why Shang Kexi and Shang Zhi are filial and loyal to the Qing Dynasty—they wanted to cling to them because Shang Zhi Xinping Guangdong and the coastal relocation later carried out heavy killings, but they didn't really kill the Cantonese The thighs of the Qing Dynasty.

But there is actually no way out for them doing this. In other words, they may have a way out, but the slaves under the vassal have no way out.

If Wu Sangui defeats the Qing Dynasty and wins the world in the future, then Guangdong Shangfan has committed a lot of crimes and is stubborn, so of course he must be eliminated!
If the Qing Dynasty wins, then Shang Fan will be the next Wu Fan, and of course he will threaten to destroy Wu Zhiwei!

Anyway, it's all about lingering for a while when Wu Qing is facing each other.

Of course, Shang Kexi and Shang Zhixiao, who were the loyal lackeys of the Qing Dynasty, could still go to Beijing to have a good death if the Qing Dynasty won, and maybe they could still keep a hereditary king.

But Shang Kexi has already saved 37 sons and 32 daughters, which is still the number of children who have grown up and can be sequenced!

If grandchildren are counted, the descendants (including the grandson) of Shang Kexi's family alone can surpass Aixinjueluo's family!
So many people went to Beijing, let alone the palace, one person and one courtyard house may not be guaranteed
Thinking of this, Shang Zhixin asked in a low voice: "Among my brothers, who is willing to follow me to vote for Wu?"

Hearing his words, all the subordinates showed smiles. Everyone knows that I Dagong and Wu Yingxiong have a very good relationship!

Taking refuge with Wu Yingxiong is the way out!

"The fourth master, the twelfth master, and the fourteenth master are all dissatisfied with the old prince and the second master!"

Although Shang Kexi has 37 sons, among them the elder Shang Zhixin, the second Shang Zhixiao, the fourth Shang Zhijie, the seventh Shang Zhilong, the twelfth Shang Huang and the fourteenth are the most respected.

These six sons respectively control the eight assistant leaders of the Han Army of the Xianglan Banner of the Eight Banners!
After Shang Kexi surrendered, all his troops were incorporated into the Xianglan Banner Han Army, and some of them followed Shang Kexi to the south of Guangdong to re-form fifteen subordinate leaders, and the rest were divided among the Xianglan Banner Han Army. Among the eight assistant leaders of the Banner Han Army, these eight assistant leaders were divided by Shang Kexi's six sons.

Among them, Shang Zhilong was especially valued because he married Princess Heshuo and Princess Shun (the niece of Shunzhi), and he alone led the three assistant leaders of the Han Army with the Lantern Banner.But he is still in Beijing and has not come to Guangdong.The other five Shangfan princes who have the collar of the Xianglan Banner are all in Guangdong. Among them, Shang Zhilong, Shang Zhihuang, and Shang Zhiying are all close to Shang Zhixin, and only Shang Zhixiao and Shang Kexi are close.
"My lord," Li Tianzhi said again: "It's an opportunity for the second master to send troops to Hao'ao! He will definitely take away all the elite soldiers from himself and the prince, and most of the governor's bid of Guangdong will also be taken away. Only you and the fourth, twelfth, and fourteenth masters are left!

Moreover, once the second master attacks Haoao, the Western Expedition of Wang Fuchen, Wang Zhongxiao, and Kong Sizhen will undoubtedly fail Rong and Sun Junmen besieged Wang's father and son and Kong Sizhen together, are they afraid that they will not be able to establish miraculous achievements for the new dynasty? "

"Okay!" Shang Zhixin slapped his hands fiercely, "That's it!"

As one of the important players in the chaotic situation of Guangdong and Guangxi, Zu Zeqing, the commander-in-chief of Gao, Lei, and Lian, has fallen into deep doubts these days-why does that cousin of the Wu family ignore me?

This Zu Zeqing is the youngest son of Zu Dashou. He is in his forties this year. He also fought with his cousins ​​Wu Sangui and Nanming when he was young. He was "fascinated" by Wu Sangui and became a "little fan".

Because he was "obsessed" with Wu Sangui, he always thought of Wu Sangui's "side" as an official, even if he was not "close to him", at least he should be an official in Guizhou, Sichuan, Huguang, and Guangxi.

In this way, if Wu Sangui wants to "progress" a bit more, he can immediately raise his troops to respond!

But he doesn't have that much face, and in the end he only managed to recruit Gao, Lei, and Lian Zongbing from Guangdong, which are actually quite close!

And Ma Xiong, the admiral of Guangxi who "lives" next door to him, is also Wu Sangui's "mysterious brother".
So Zu Zeqing and Ma Xiong have been joining forces in private, preparing to respond with troops when Wu Sangui rebelled, one sweeping Guangxi and the other defeating Guangdong.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Before Wu Sangui turned back, Kangxi sent Wang Fuchen with [-] new troops to be the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and the president of Guilin Daying.Ten thousand recruits!

This is no joke, so Zu Zeqing and Ma Xiong didn't dare to make mistakes, even if they colluded with Sun Yanling and Guo Yi, they didn't dare to raise their troops until Wu Sanwei and Ao Bai led the army to Xiangdao by sea. Together with Sun Yanling and Guo Yicai, they threw away the signboard of the Qing Dynasty and raised the banner of reviving the president of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui, the king of the West. General Hu Aobai wiped out Shang Kexi, Wang Fuchen and Kong Sizhen together.

But what happened next, Zu Zeqing couldn't figure it out. Wu Sanwei and Aobai, who occupy Xin'an County and have tens of thousands of people, never contacted him.The envoy he sent to Xiangdao was not even received by the other party!
What does it mean?Why is this cousin of the Wu family ignoring people?

Could it be that Wu Sanwei doubted his ancestor Zeqing's determination to rebel because many members of his ancestor's family were loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty in Beijing?

And just when Zu Zeqing was surprised by the attitude of Wu's cousin, Zu Lianggeng, the son he sent to Xiangdao to contact Wu Sanwei, brought Wang Fuchen's eldest son Wang Jizhen.
In the city of Maoming (the capital of Gaozhou), Zu Zeqing was sitting in the yamen of the general soldier. Zu Zeqing, dressed in the costume of the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, was wearing a white round-neck robe and a red hood. Young Master Wang, who was followed by a fair and pretty young lady aged sixteen or seventeen, frowned, and before he could speak, the fat man smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Grandpa, the younger generation Jizhen is very polite!"

"Grandpa?" Zu Zeqing frowned, "My surname is Wang, since when did we become relatives?"

"Zong Rong, don't you know?" Wang Jizhen smiled and pointed to the woman beside him, "This is Xiao Rong, the second daughter of Prince Xi's son, and my concubine!"

With a "snap", Zu Zeqing had already slapped the table, "Bold! You can defile the son's daughter too? Come, take it for me!"

"Slow!" The little princess of the Wu family named Wu Xiaorong stepped forward and stood in front of Wang Jizhen, "Who dares to touch my husband?"

"You..." Zu Zeqing was taken aback, and said to himself: This Wang Jizhen is not the little Lu Bu Wang Zhongxiao. How can a chubby one be so attractive?

Thinking of this, he glanced at his son Zu Lianggeng.

Zu Lianggeng, who was in his early twenties, said helplessly: "Father, my son not only saw Rongbiao's niece in Haoao, but also cousin Tu and Cousin Rong."

"What? Tu cousin's niece?" Zu Zeqing asked, "She is."

"She is Angkor's daughter, the one known as the Eight-faced Avalokitesvara. I saw her when I went to Kunming to celebrate King Xi's birthday!"

"What? Wu Xiaotu married Wang Datou?" Zu Zeqing's eyeballs almost fell out.

Wu Jizhen smiled and said: "That's my sister-in-law. In addition, Xi Wang Shizi's beloved daughter, Xiao Jia, also followed my brother, and when she grows up, she will go through the family and become a concubine. In addition, Xi Wang Shizi's second wife Young master, you are also in Haoao now!"

"What? The second son of Prince Xi's son? Shifan?" Zu Zeqing couldn't believe his ears.

He had heard that Wu Shifan was missing a long time ago, and he thought he had been killed long ago, but unexpectedly he followed Wang Zhongxiao!
Where does this Wang Zhongxiao belong to?

"Yes, it's my second brother!" Wu Xiaorong, who was dedicated to protecting her husband, said, "My husband and his brother Shi Kai took the risk of beheading to save my second brother that day, and I don't blame them for the suicide of Brother Shilin. That was forced to death by the Kangxi tyrant!"

Not to mention, the old Wu family's style of "no big righteousness and no righteousness" has been passed on to Wu Xiaorong!
Zu Lianggeng said: "My lord, when my boy met Shi Fan's nephew in Haoao, he also said the same thing. Besides, he has a very good relationship with Wang Shikai with Xiao Jia's niece, and Xiao Jia's niece also said that she was Shi Kai's concubine. It is willing, and it is also the meaning of Princess Jianning. Even if I become a princess in the future, I will not leave Wang Shikai."

Wu Xiaorong also said: "I will not leave my husband either! But my elder brother Shifan wants to leave Haoao to go to my father's side."

When Zu Zeqing heard this, his eyes immediately lit up: "My lord, Xiao Rong said that my nephew Shifan can leave Haoao and go back to his father?"

Wang Jizhen smiled and said, "I'm here for this matter. Now the prince of the West has no son, if the second son of Wu can go back, he is the grandson of the prince of the West, right? If the old Wu family wins the world in the future, he may be the Your Majesty! My brother and I must not delay his bright future! Zongrong Zu, you don't want to delay the Second Young Master, do you?"

"This..." Zu Zeqing immediately realized how beneficial this matter is!

Wu Sangui is old, and Wu Yingxiong is not young anymore. Maybe 20 years later, this Wu Shifan will be sitting in the court hall in Beijing!
Although Wang Zhongxiao participated in forcing Wu Shilin to death, he can be said to have saved Wu Shifan and reinvented him. If Wu Shifan really wanted to protect him, no one else could do it.

Big deal. Just revise the history and say that Wu Shilin was not forced to death by Wang Zhongxiao.
And this matter is also of great benefit to Zu Zeqing!

Wang Jizhen said: "Zongrong Zu, how much credit do you have for guarding Gao, Lei, and Lian Mansions until the King of the West came to Beijing? Can you be named a Marquis? But if you protect the future emperor and come back Go to the side of the prince of the West, who is my father-in-law. How much credit is this? The merit of escorting! Besides, what is the use of your thousands of people in Guangdong? It is the key to the ownership of the world. If the son of King Xi can take Huguang, not only the world of King Xi will be stable, but the future of the son will also be stable. Zu Zongrong, if you lead thousands of elite soldiers to protect the grandson of King Xi, you will be able to win in the future. When the Wu and Qing armies were fighting fiercely, they suddenly entered Hunan. This was the final word!
How about it?Zu Zongrong, how about you give us the Gao, Lei, and Lian mansions, and then protect my brother-in-law to go north to Hunan? "
