Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 209 Loyalty, you are so loyal to Lu Bu's family! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
After hearing the conditions offered by Huo Lu Bu and Xiao Huo Lu Bu, the loyal father and son, Wang Shirong really had nothing to say.People also persuaded them to enter, ministers also weighed, and tributes were also paid, and there were quite a lot of them, all of which were urgently needed by Huguang.

Now Wu Sangui's territory is not small, and there are many troops. At first glance, it looks like a bunch of flowers, and the situation is very good.But Wang Shirong, who is Wu Sangui's core aide, is very aware of the plight of Long Live the King of the West, that is, a small population, little money and food, scattered land, and weak military production.

This is also helpless, Wu Sangui’s base this time is the semi-wild land of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Sichuan, which was first conquered, was slaughtered by the Qing Dynasty into white land, there is no way to support the army to continue to fight, and the road to Shu is difficult. , That's why Wu Sangui's battle to leave Qishan was fought so slowly.Fortunately, Wu Yingxiong came to "Xiong Zhen Huaxia", and Wu Guogui was considered to be progressing smoothly, so the situation in Huguang was opened.

However, Huguang can only provide Wu Sangui with a certain amount of population and food, and there is no way to support Wu Sangui's military industry.Because Huguang's iron smelting and handicraft centers are in Wuchang Prefecture and Hankou Town, this land was taken by Li Zicheng.

What's even more troublesome is that Wu Sangui has not yet been able to unify Huguang. His territory in Huguang is still largely divided by the Qing court's territory and Li Zicheng's. We have to keep fighting!
Therefore, the flintlock guns, artillery and silver provided by Wang Zhongxiao are really what Wu Sangui urgently needs!
In addition, Wang Shirong, who gave all these things to Wu Shifan, knew that the relationship between Wang Zhongxiao and Wu Shifan and Wu Xiaoying was very good!

Perhaps Wang Zhongxiao sincerely hoped that Wu Shifan could become the emperor of the old Wu family, so that he could be a feudal lord in Guangdong for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Wang Shirong asked Wang Fuchen again: "Wang Zhijun, you said just now that you want to leave four feudal towns for your descendants?"

"Yes, yes," Wang Fuchen nodded again and again, "but the Fuchen wants to leave four feudal towns to his descendants not for the sake of their wealth, but for their loyalty to the world!"

"Join the world?" Wang Shirong was taken aback by Wang Fuchen's words.

Wang Zhongxiao accepted the question with a smile, and replied: "Shangshi Wang, the so-called loyalty to the world means not focusing on one family and one surname, but focusing on the world. Although the four feudal towns of our Wang family are to be left to our descendants , but the purpose of the existence of these four feudal towns is not only for the wealth and honor of the descendants of the royal family, but mainly for the loyalty and protection of the world."

Loyalty to the world?Protect the world?The more Wang Shirong listened, the more confused he became.

Wang Zhongxiao pointed to Huang Zongxi and said with a smile: "Mr. Huang Lao pointed out in his "Ming Yi Dai Interview Record" that "the disadvantages of feudalism are the annexation of the strong and the weak, and the emperor's political and religious differences; the disadvantages of counties and counties are the harm of the battlefield." There is no end to suffering. If you want to get rid of the disadvantages of the two, so that they can go hand in hand without conflict, then the side along the border will be suppressed.

But now that there are rifled flintlock guns, large and small red cannons, and explosive bullets that can be fired from mortars, the troubles on the grasslands in northern Xinjiang should be eradicated forever.But those sharp and powerful firearms all come from the land of Europa in the Western Ocean, and this place is now a place where all the countries are fighting together, just like my Spring and Autumn and Warring States. If the first emperor comes out in the future, it may not be impossible to unify. !

Even though the land of Europa has not yet been unified, the powerful countries there have already run across the ocean with strong ships and guns, and many of the unconquered countries in the south of the sky and the south ocean have fallen into the hands of Westerners.Nowadays, coastal defense is getting tighter and tighter, and the vassals of Tiannan and Nanyang have been looking north to the king for a long time. Thinking about loyalty and filial piety, the only way to build vassals in the coastal areas of Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian is to prepare for the powerful Western invaders, and wait for the coastal vassals to become stronger. After the ship is strong, it is ordered to sail overseas to recover its old family members, and finally to establish a new vassal state or a new vassal town in an overseas place.In this way, the celestial dynasty can be safe for a long time, the sea and territory can be permanent, and the people of Tiannan and Nanyang vassals can gradually naturalize in China. This is an immortal achievement for all generations! "

Now Wang Shirong finally understood that the old Wang family was playing tricks to their advantage. There are no big bandits, but they still want to create and find big bandits!
If you can't wait for those powerful Europa bandits in Guangdong, then move the town to Tiannan and Nanyang, or simply set up a new town.If there is no Europa bandit in Nanyang, maybe you have to go to the West to find this bandit, you can always find it if you run farther!

But Wang Shirong doesn't care about this now, he smiled and said to Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao: "Wang Zhijun, Shikai, you two are really rare in the world, loyal ministers who are rare in the world, they are really loyal! How about this, you two When you and Wang Dagongzi, the third son, and the fourth son put on the form, you will attach a memorial to invite the seal of the feudal town. You want to seal the place and conquer the power, and you invite it together.

In addition, since it is a feudal town, it is inevitable to pay tribute every year, right?One year. A tribute of 10 taels of silver and three to five thousand flintlock guns, isn't that much? "

Wang Shirong is not a good person either!

This is a tweet for the Wang family ahead of time!
And it's not empty, and the Wang family has to ask for guns and money every year!
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say that there are 10 taels of silver and [-] flintlock guns!" Wang Fuchen nodded, "I have already discussed with Jizhen, Shikai, Jiqing, and Jiyong (two or three years old). Guangdong and Guangxi seal four towns first!"

"Six!" Wang Zhongxiao interrupted, "Let's also give one to Liu Zongzhen and Qiu Taishou (Qiu Hui)!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jinzhong shook his head and said, "Wait a minute, I want to save the third prince to go to Nanjing!"

Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile: "How can it be so fast? Besides, there is a war, sometimes it may not be very smooth. Mr. Liu, we will reserve this Chaozhou retreat for you. When it is no longer needed, we will arrange it again.

In addition, you are still a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty!Even if you don't want Xiwang's seal, do you want Kangxi's seal?If you don't want it, Kangxi ordered us father and son to attack you, how can you let us be this loyal minister? "

Liu Jinzhong was right after thinking about it, so he nodded: "Then, then I will continue to be this Chaozhou town!"

Wang Fuchen smiled and said, "In that case, let's seal it together." He turned his head to look at Wang Shirong, "My eldest son, Jizhen, will be appointed as a military governor of the Jinghai Navy, and my son Zhongxiao will be named a military governor of the Guangdong Navy. My son Yuanqing was named the Jiedu Envoy of the Guangxi Navy, my son Ji Yong was named the Jiedu Envoy of the Hui Navy, Liu Zongzhen was named the Jiedu Envoy of the Chaohai Navy, and Qiu Taishou was named the Jiedu Envoy of Nan'ao Town. These are the six major festivals All the envoys are controlled by me, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi!

As for the territory of these six festivals, for the time being, it is all the territory in Guangdong and Guangxi except Qingyuan, Sicheng, Si'en, Zhen'an, Taiping, Nanning, and Lianzhou!

In addition, I have to concurrently serve as Nanyang Minister of Commerce and Tiannan Zhenfu Ambassador. All thieves who are not ministers in Nanyang, Tiannan, and Guangdong have the right to crusade!

Envoy Wang, these requirements are not high, are they? "

"It's not high," Wang Shirong said, "But I'm not sure if King Xi will be right." He glanced at Wang Zhongxiao, "But now King Xi is very fond of the second son of the noble family, and he will soon be enshrined Grandson!"

Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your suggestion! The younger generation and my father also prepared some specialties from Guangdong for Mr. Hope to accept."

The Guangdong specialty is of course gold, silver and jewelry!
Wang Shirong was really satisfied this time.

This trip is full of rewards!
Some people are satisfied, of course some people are not satisfied!

Those who are dissatisfied are now locked in the prison cell of the prefect's yamen in Guangdong. Jia Guobin and Jia Guodong, two dutiful sons of Jia Taibao's family in Shaanxi, are comforting and enlightening them together!

The two filial sons of Jia Taibao's family also bought the alternate county of Guangdong. Before that, the county magistrate of Leizhou Prefecture was transferred under the arrangement of his brother-in-law Wang Jizhen. But now Leizhou Prefecture is too poor and things are troublesome. Since they were dealing with each other, the two resigned and went to Wang Zhongxiao's subordinates to think about a certain vacancy.

After Wang Zhongxiao entered Guangzhou, he sent them to Fu Honglie, the prefect of Guangzhou. This Fu Honglie doesn't know whose prefect he is?Anyway, Daqing, Xiwang, and the third prince of Zhu seem to have taken up their positions, so there is no one else.

But even if he can't figure out whose subject he is, he still has to do his job well!
This city of Guangzhou has just experienced a bloody battle, and there are still fires everywhere in the inner city. He, the magistrate, is very busy.Just extinguishing fires, saving people, collecting corpses, and arresting people, you are so busy!
In addition, the prison cells of the prefect's yamen in Guangzhou were already full!

It's impossible to be dissatisfied!

Those who oppose Shang Zhixin, those who support Shang Zhixin, and Shang Zhixin himself are all arrested here and locked up here. Can this not be crowded?

And some of the people who were locked in the Guangzhou prefect's yamen were very unhappy and clamored to get out!
Look, this is really unreasonable. Can a person in prison get out if he wants to?Is there any law left?
"Let me go out quickly! I am an imperial envoy, a scholar, a minister of the Ministry of War, and Wang Datou's mentor. You can't lock me up, let alone monk Zhixin, Zhu Guozhi, and Li Lan. Together!"

It is Mingzhu who is shouting!

He was the first to be imprisoned in the prefect's yamen in Guangzhou. He thought he was going to die, and he "became a prisoner of Chu" in the prison every day, but within a few days, two villains, Zhu Guozhi and Li Lan, were also imprisoned. Yes—they did not resolutely fight against Shang Zhixin when he rebelled, so they were not arrested immediately, but placed under house arrest.In Mingzhu's view, the two of them are supporting Shang Zhixin and a traitor!As a result, after Shang Zhixin swallowed their army, he still imprisoned them.

So Zhu Guozhi and Li Lan were scolded by Mingzhu every day, until Shang Zhixin was also locked in.

Mingzhu is not calm now. Shang Zhixin has come in, so he should be let go!

But Wang Zhongxiao couldn't let him go, because Wang Shirong hadn't left yet, how embarrassing would it be for the two of them to meet after releasing him?So Wang Zhongxiao simply pretended that he hadn't found the Pearl, and continued to let him squat in the prison of the prefect's yamen in Guangzhou.

Of course, the treatment has been improved, with four dishes and one soup every meal, and a special person is arranged to serve.

But Mingzhu was still dissatisfied, and would curse at others in the prison every day when she was full.

And Shang Zhixin also went all out, and when Mingzhu scolded him, he sneered at the side.

"Mingzhu, you've given up on this idea. Those surnamed Wang have long since rebelled! You look at what they did in Guangdong, such as lifting the sea ban, equalizing the land, setting up private soldiers, changing the official system, and even growing hair and changing clothes. They are all going to rebel!"

"Shang, don't talk nonsense, Wang Zhijun is a loyal minister!"

Jia Guobin, who was wearing a tunic collar shirt and had his hair in a bun, came to the "senior cell" in the government office with his brother Jia Guodong for some reason, and when he heard Shang Zhixin talking nonsense, he opened his mouth Lesson learned.

His brother Jia Guodong also said: "Your surname is Shang, don't be arrogant. Your family may be punished this time!"

As soon as he heard that the clan was about to be executed, Shang Zhixin yelled: "Your surname is Wang, your whole family will die!"

"It's not Wang Zhijun who wants to kill your family!" Jia Guobin explained patiently, "It's Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty who wants to kill your family!"

"Kang Kangxi?" Shang Zhixin was stunned.

Ming Zhu, who was eating, drinking and cursing in the cell, was also stunned when she heard this, "What are you talking about? Did Emperor Kangxi, Wang Datou, rebel?"

"Teacher! How can you wrong me?"

Wang Zhongxiao's voice suddenly came in.

"That's right. Brother Duanfan, who is Wang Fuchen, don't you know? Am I someone who will rebel?"

Immediately afterwards, Wang Fuchen's voice also came.

Then there was the creaking sound of the door opening, and the Wang family and the father came in one after the other.

Of course, the two of them had also changed into Hanfu, a tunic-collared shirt with a hair bun, and a waist knife hanging from the belt around their waists. They looked like military officers of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing how the two were dressed, Mingzhu immediately became angry, "Wang Fuchen, Wang Zhongxiao, don't you two know what it means to keep your hair?"

"Teacher," Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile, "we also want heads and hair because we have soldiers and territory, and we also have the most powerful flintlock guns and red cannons!"

Wang Fuchen said with a smile: "Parents who receive body, hair and skin, keep it if you can! By the way, don't you keep it now?"

"I..." Mingzhu touched her head, it was really fluffy, "I can't help it!"

"We can't help it!" Wang Fuchen sighed, "What about Duanfan, now the whole of Hunan, except for Chenzhou and Guilin, has been taken down by Wu Guogui and Li Zicheng! Sun Yanling, Ma Xiong, and Guo Yi in Guangxi have already prepared Well, the [-] army is ready to attack us at any time! If Wu Guogui comes from the north, and Sun Yanling, Ma Xiong, and Guo Yi come from the west, we will be attacked by the enemy. In addition, there is another civil strife in Guangdong, which will seriously damage our vitality So my father and son can only accept the official position given by Wu Sangui, and they have to keep their hair and change their clothes."

When Mingzhu heard this, her face turned pale, and she looked at Wang Fuchen and his son in horror.

Wang Zhongxiao quickly comforted him and said: "Teacher, don't be afraid. Although we have been conferred by Wu Sangui, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty can also confer on us. We should be loyal ministers of both Qing Dynasty and Wu Sangui. Is that okay?"

"Hahaha" Shang Zhixin leaned forward and backward with a smile when he heard this, "Since ancient times, loyal ministers have no second masters, and strong women have no second husbands. It's good for you, you want to be a servant of the Qing Dynasty while proclaiming your ministers to Wu Sangui, you have a good idea !"

Wang Zhongxiao ignored Shang Zhixin, and just said to Mingzhu: "Teacher, it's a troubled time now! Loyalty in troubled times is different from loyalty in peaceful and prosperous times. Loyalty in peace is naturally the same as loyal ministers. But in this troubled world, my father and son And living in the South of the Five Ridges, it is not easy not to fight against the Qing Dynasty and not to help Wu. In fact, we can’t blame us for this matter. If you want to blame you, you can blame Shang Kexi and the Qing soldiers who swept Guangdong back then! Cantonese. I hate the Qing Dynasty! The teacher must have felt it when he came to Guangzhou? If my father and son don’t grow hair and change clothes, restore the Han system, and pay tribute to the Western King, then the Guangdong soldiers will kill the Shang family after they kill the Shang family. We are here!"

Wang Fuchen said: "That's right, if we die, Guangdong will be surnamed Wu! At that time, the Guangdong and Guangxi township troops will follow Wu Guogui in the Northern Expedition. If the elite soldiers from Guangdong and Guangxi go to the Northern Expedition, will your Qing Dynasty be able to withstand it?"

Mingzhu was speechless.

The Wang family father and son are not only shameless, but also very reasonable, very reasonable shameless!
Wang Zhongxiao went on to say: "Teacher, my father and I, as well as Liu Zongbing from Chaozhou Town will each prepare a memorial to invite the envoys and ministers, and ask the emperor to confer the titles of Jinghai, Yuehai, Guihai, and Huihai on us." After that, my father and son will be responsible for the affairs of Guangdong, Guangxi, Tiannan, and Nanyang! The emperor only needs to manage the affairs of the north. things, the world will be peaceful.

In addition, my father and son will send Shang Zhixin, Zhu Futai, and Li Zongzhen to Beidi together, and Chen Zongbing who is stationed in Huizhou will lead the escort!Teacher, do you think this is okay? "

Mingzhu turned her head, looked at Shang Zhixin coldly, and sneered: "Okay! Just like this, Shang Zhixin, you traitor is still in my hands!"

Shang Zhixin was trembling for a while, his face was ashen
