Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 231 I'm Not the Emperor, I Want to Be the Loyal King of Ming Dynasty! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

"My lord, the E family's emperor means that he is an emperor, you are an emperor, Wu Sangui is an emperor, and the third prince Zhu is also an emperor!"

In the Prince of Chu's mansion in Wuchang City, the person who was speaking Shanxi dialect with a northern Shaanxi accent with Li Zicheng and Li Laishun's grandfather and grandson was Mr. Jia Han Fu Jia, an alternate Hunan warlord.Although the old man claimed to be a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, he changed his clothes after arriving in Wuchang. He was dressed like an old Han scholar who did not forget the Ming Dynasty. He was wearing a Taoist robe, a hood, and a feather fan in his hand.

However, Li Zicheng and Li Laishun's grandfather and grandson were dressed in the python robes of the prince of Ming Dynasty, and they were sitting on the Yin'an Hall of the Prince Chu's mansion of the Ming Dynasty. Those who didn't know thought that they were the descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang!
Hearing Jia Hanfu's "Four Emperors Plan", Li Zicheng just chuckled, then turned to look at Li Laishun, and asked with a smile: "Shun, I'm getting old, and the emperor has done it too, so I don't want to do it again, what about you? Do you want to be Your Majesty?"

Li Laishun had a simple and honest face, smiled and shook his head: "Master, Er Ada is the Duke of Xingguo in the Ming Dynasty, Brother Er Laiheng is the Duke of Linguo in the Ming Dynasty, and Brother Er is still the loyal martyr of the Ming Dynasty. Bar?"

Li Zicheng nodded, "Well, well, that's right, after you are loyal, you have created many loyal warriors for Daming, and you are both very loyal!"

Li Laishun said with a smile: "Now Da Ming has almost recovered, how can the loyal and loyal Da Ming be the emperor himself? There is only one emperor in this Ming Dynasty, and the one with the surname Zhu can still be the emperor, right?"

Li Zicheng looked at Jia Hanfu, "Old Jia, you were also a loyal minister of Ming Dynasty, tell me, can grandson Laishun be the loyal king of Ming Dynasty?"

When Jia Han heard it again, he didn't know what to say for a while!
Li Zicheng's adopted grandson is going to be the loyal king of Ming Dynasty. It seems that he can really be one!
Now the third prince of Zhu only has one Nanjing city, and may have to give half of it to Geng Jingzhong, while Li Laishun (Li Zicheng) now owns the three prefectures of Wuchang, Hanyang, and Huangzhou in Hubei, and part of the prefectures of De'an and Anlu, and also owns Hunan. The Yuezhou Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River took over the western part of Nanchang Mansion in Jiangxi Province, and invaded the Ruizhou Mansion. The territory is not too big, but it is much stronger than the third prince Zhu!Moreover, he still has the advantage of the upper reaches, and can restrain the Qing army in Jiangxi and Anhui for the third prince Zhu. If he wants to be a loyal king of the Ming Dynasty, does the third prince Zhu dare not be named?
Thinking of this, Jia Hanfu frowned suddenly, and asked: "My lord, do you mean that you don't want Jingzhou City, and you don't want to let Prince Qing'an's troops go downstream?"

"Laishun, what do you think?" Li Zicheng asked Li Laishun with a smile.

Li Laishun said with a smile: "Master, you are loyal to Daming, so of course the territory in your hands is also loyal to Daming. If Jingzhou City is in your hands, it will be in Daming's hands. If you don't take back Jingzhou City , I’m afraid I can’t justify it?”

Li Zicheng nodded: "It can't be justified! Since you want to be loyal to Daming, you should help Daming regain the lost ground!"

Jia Hanfu quickly provoked Thumbs up: "Loyalty, it's too loyal! Then it's settled like this, I'll work hard again, and I'll go to Jingzhou to report back to King An right away. By the way, are the two loyal kings of Daming right?" Send a loyal minister of Ming Dynasty to go to Jingzhou with me?"

Li Zicheng smiled and waved his hands: "Don't worry, don't worry, give the third prince and King Geng a little more time to consolidate Jinling's territory. Otherwise, this Jinling city will be broken by King An's attack, and our loyal kings will be destroyed." Is it not appropriate?"

It turned out that Li Zicheng and Li Laishun were a bit loyal!
Jia Han nodded again: "Okay, how about waiting another month?"

"It's grown, it's grown," Li Zicheng said, "Wu Yingxiong and Wu Guogui must know that Kangxi wants to sell Jingzhou to E, right? This transaction will take too long, and I'm afraid there will be many side issues."

Oh, the "loyalty" of the King Zhong of Ming Dynasty seems to be a bit low!
Jia Han replied: "Then half a month!"

"Ten days!" Li Zicheng shortened another five days, "After ten days, I will send a fast boat to take you and Huang Wanlin, the governor of Hubei, to Jingzhou!"

"Okay!" Jia Han laughed again, "My lord, you fought for another ten days for the Third Prince Zhu of Jinling, you are so loyal!"

Li Zicheng smiled and said: "Old Jia, don't say you are loyal first, there is one more condition, if you don't agree, you can't ask Jingzhou."

"What condition?" Jia Han replied, "Although the prince said, as long as it can be done, he will definitely not refuse."

Li Zicheng said: "If he becomes a loyal minister of Ming Dynasty and recovers Jingzhou and Anlu, Wu Sangui will not be reconciled, right? When he sends troops to seize Jingzhou and Anlu, how will he deal with it?"

"My lord," Jia Hanfu frowned, "Aren't you afraid of Wu Sangui?"

Li Zicheng chuckled: "Don't be so excited, so what if you're afraid of the person surnamed Wu? But Jingzhou and Anlu prefectures, I still want it very much. So, I just want to have someone in Wu Sangui and Er When there is a fight for territory, you can come forward to solve the fight!"

"Jie Dou?" Jia Hanfu was taken aback, "My lord, what do you mean?"

Li Zicheng smiled, "Old Jia, do you remember who in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was not fighting in his life, but was good at fighting?"

"Ah, lord, do you want Wang Fuchen to come forward to resolve the fight between you and Wu Sangui?"

Li Zicheng nodded: "Old Jia, after you have agreed with Yue Le, you will go to Guangdong again, and please invite Wang Fuchen for me. If Wang Fuchen doesn't want to move, you can also ask his son Wang Zhongxiao to come."

"Okay!" Jia Hanfu nodded and said with a smile, "To tell you the truth, I was about to go to Guangdong, and Emperor Kangxi even rewarded me with Chenzhou and Guiyang Prefectures. From now on, E and the prince will be regarded as close neighbors."

Li Zicheng smiled and asked, "Old Jia, who do you plan to be loyal to?"

Jia Han replied with a smile: "All are loyal, everyone is loyal to Daming, Daqing, Dashun, Xiwang, one family counts as one family, I just hope that the world will be peaceful in the future, and those few sons who are not up to date can be named a Marquis each. !"

Then he smiled and said to Li Laishun: "King Shaozhong, if you become the emperor, you must take care of those sons!"

"It's easy to say, easy to say," Li Laishun said with a smile, "Old man, you still missed a person who is qualified to win the world!"

"Who? Who else?"

Li Laishun smiled: "Of course it's your old in-law Li Fuchen. Maybe it's him who the eighteen sons rule the world!"

"Li, Li Fuchen? Isn't his surname Wang?"

Li Zicheng took the question and replied: "Wang Fuchen's relative, Ada, is surnamed Li, and now he has recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan, and his surname is also Li! Moreover, he has even joined the clan with E, and now E and he are brothers of the same clan! Old Jia , you said, this brother, should be willing to resolve the fight between Er and Wu Sangui, right?"

Jia Hanfu could only nod his head and said, "Yes, I must!"

As soon as Jia Hanfu left Chu Palace accompanied by Li Laishun, Li Zicheng's No. [-] civil servant, Huang Zhisheng, rushed over and gave a big gift to Li Zicheng at the Yin'an Hall: "Greetings to the emperor."

"Pingshen, bestow a seat."

Li Zicheng was polite, gave Huang Zhisheng a seat with a smile, and then asked with concern: "How is Huang An? Are the family members used to it?"

"Okay, okay," Huang Zhisheng said with a smile, "it's much better than Xiangdao. There are mountains on Xiangdao, but the seaside is a bit flat, but the wind is too strong, and everything is easy to fall. How can it compare with Huang An's smooth weather? "

"That's good," Li Zicheng smiled, "I'm worried that you are all Cantonese, and you are not used to Huang'an's environment!"

"Thank you, Emperor, for your love." Huang Zhisheng replied with a smile all over his face.

Li Zicheng said again: "Since everything in your family has been settled, you should work hard and go to Xiangyang first."

"Embassy to Xiangyang? Does the emperor want to join forces with Wu Yingxiong to attack Jingzhou?"

Li Zicheng shook his head and said: "Jingzhou doesn't need to use swords anymore. The third prince Zhu restored the Ming Dynasty in Jinling. The Kangxi boy was impatient. He asked An Wang Yuele to lead the Jingzhou tartars to the south of the Yangtze River to encircle the third prince Zhu. In order to go quickly, he I just want to ask for an excuse. In exchange, I have to give up all the land in Jingzhou, Jingmen, Anlu, and De'an! Zhisheng, do you think I can eat this alone?"

"This." Huang Zhisheng frowned, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to say that Jingzhou, Wuchang, and Yuezhou are all the territory of Huguang's heart! Wu Sangui probably doesn't want to let go of any of them, right? Now Wuchang, Yuezhou It is already owned by the emperor, if the emperor takes Jingzhou again, I'm afraid."

"Not afraid!" Li Zicheng laughed, "Er Li doesn't know how to write fear? But I'm still willing to put the overall situation first and share the territory with the Wu family!"

"I don't know how the emperor wants to divide it?" Huang Zhisheng asked.

"Jingzhou City, Jingzhou City, the east of Jingzhou City, the north of the Yangtze River, and the south of the Han River belong to the territory of Jingzhou Prefecture, Jingmen Prefecture, and Anlu Prefecture. De'an, Yingcheng, and Yingshan counties belong to the forehead, and Suizhou belongs to the surname Wu. Let's do it first!"

"My lord," Huang Zhisheng frowned even tighter, "You want to control the Yangtze River in the south, and don't hold the heart of Huguang and the gateway to the northeast in the north. I'm afraid Wu Sangui won't let it go!"

Li Zicheng snorted and smiled: "So what? If Yuezhou, Hanyang, eastern Jingzhou, and Wuchang are all there, then the Yangtze River Navy will be stunned. And I won't go anywhere else, just stay here in Huguang. If you want to fight with me, then I will accompany you to the end! But his surname is Wu, but his ambition is in the world!"

"I understand what the emperor means."

Li Zicheng nodded: "When you come back from Xiangyang, I will take a trip to Jinling for my forehead."

"Take a trip to Jinling?" Huang Zhisheng asked, "Is the emperor going to discuss peace with the third prince Zhu?"

"No peace negotiation," Li Zicheng shook his head, "Go and ask a loyal king of Ming Dynasty to do it for Laishun."

"Ask for a loyal king for the young master? Then you, the emperor?"

"I'm getting old," Li Zicheng said with a smile, "it's not convenient to come out."

Huang Zhisheng heaved a sigh of relief. If Li Zicheng didn't show up, the matter would be easy to handle.Otherwise, Li Zicheng would be the loyal king of the Ming Dynasty, it would be a bit unreasonable!
However, while Li Laishun was the loyal king, he also wanted to let the Tartar king Yue Le go to besiege Jinling. This kind of loyalty seems to be a bit rare, right?

"Boom! Crash!"

Xiangyang, in the mansion of the Prince of the West, Wu Yingxiong, who had just learned that Yue Le was about to reach a peace agreement with Li Zicheng, was furious at the time. He picked up a tea bowl and threw it on the floor tiles. He still felt unrepentant, and was smashed to pieces with another pen wash .

Several generals and aides under his son's mansion stood aside with their hands down, not daring to show their air.

Wu Yingxiong has a good temper and rarely loses his temper.But this time, Yue Le really deceived people too much, as he said before, he used the land plus Princess Jianning and Wu Yingxiong's two youngest sons in exchange for a passage to the east.Now I suddenly changed my mind!Isn't this bullying honest people?

In fact, if Yue Le hadn't used Princess Jianning and Wu Yingxiong's two sons as bargaining chips, Wu Yingxiong would have attacked Jingmen and Jingzhou with Wu Guogui long ago.

Although the situation on Wu Yingxiong's side was a bit tight, he couldn't spare too many troops.But Wu Guogui is in good condition now. After he joined forces with Zu Zeqing, there were 5000 people. When he attacked Hunan, he took in many Qing troops who surrendered, and recruited many new soldiers. Now the total strength is five or six. Ten thousand!
Moreover, Wang Fuchen and Wang Fuchen in the south of Wu Guogui are both brothers and in-laws, so they don’t need to defend with heavy troops. Li Zicheng in the northeast obviously doesn’t want to go to war with Wu Guogui, and Wu Guogui has no navy that can enter the Yangtze River for the time being—the mouth of Yuezhou is in Li Zicheng’s hands. However, the navy that Wu Guogui set up on the Dongting Lake and the Xiangjiang River could not enter the Yangtze River.So if you want to turn your face, you have to gnaw at Jiancheng in Yuezhou, and Wu Guogui is obviously not ready.

So if Wu Yingxiong really wants to attack Jingzhou, he can definitely transfer Wu Guogui's troops to the north!
Although the joint forces of the two Wu forces may not be able to take Jingzhou immediately, there is no problem in besieging it. After a year of siege at most, the people in Jingzhou will starve to death.

Unexpectedly, Yue Le actually used Wu Yingxiong's wife and children as bargaining chips to deceive him severely!
Can he not be angry about this?
"My lord, did my lord Yue Le play tricks on us?" Wu Shifan's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Wu Yingxiong looked back, and saw his son, dressed in the uniform of a shotgun soldier, walking in quickly. He obviously just came from the camp of the Musketeer Association. Both the gun and 10 taels of silver were sent to Xiangyang.Wu Yingxiong gave the flintlock gun to his son Wu Shifan, and asked him to establish a flintlock association in Xiangyang, called the "Firelock Association". These days, Wu Shifan has devoted himself to the formation and training of the Musketeer Association.

"Yue Le tricked us!" Wu Yingxiong gritted his teeth and said, "Your mother and your brother won't be coming back for a while."

"Then let's fight him!" Wu Shifan's eyes turned red when he thought of his aunt and younger brother, "My child's five thousand musketeers have almost trained and can go to battle!"

Although he was not born to Princess Jianning, Princess Jianning treated him and his sister Xiaojiao as if they were her own.And the reason why he was able to escape from Beijing last time was also arranged by Princess Jianning.It can be said that this aunt has saved his life!
"Shisun, you have to calm down, now is not the time to fight!" At this time, another voice came from outside the door. The person who came was Wang Shirong. After he came back from Wang Fuchen, he was "retained" by Wu Yingxiong. Now Became the long history of Shizifu.

"Wang Changshi, if you don't fight now, Yue Le will run away!" Wu Shifan stomped his feet.

"Not afraid." Wang Shirong shook his head, "Let them run!"

"Let them run? What about my mother?"

Wu Yingxiong also asked: "Yes, what about the princess?"

Wang Shirong said: "My lord, this matter is easy to handle. Yue Le handed over Jingzhou to Li Zicheng, just because he wanted us to start a war with Li Zicheng! But do we have to fight for Jingzhou and Li Zicheng?"

"That, that's Jingzhou!" Wu Yingxiong said.

Wang Shirong said with a smile: "Master, you can also want the whole world! If you have the world, are you afraid that there will be no princess?"

"The whole world?" Wu Yingxiong asked, "Why?"

Wang Shirong suggested: "You can reach an agreement with Li Zicheng to carve up Jingzhou, Anlu, and De'an, and then transfer some troops from Hunan, borrow some food from Li Zicheng, gather tens of thousands of troops in Xiangyang, and march north to Nanyang!"

Wu Yingxiong slapped his hands: "Okay! Good plan Wang Changshi, you mean I stationed troops in Nanyang, pretending to be a giant in China, and forcing Kangxi to hand over the princess for peace?"

What?Wang Shirong was stunned for a moment, and said to himself: You have already shocked China, what more do you want Princess Jianning?What else is there to discuss?Make Kangxi the emperor!After becoming an emperor, are you still afraid that you will not have a beautiful woman as your wife?

But before he could speak again, Wu Yingxiong had already been dispatched by Wang Shirong, and he said in a calm voice: "Wang Changshi, after my son leaves Tun Nanyang, you should go to Xi'an and tell Kangxi that you want my son to go If you want to compete with Li Zicheng for territory, ask him to return Princess Jianning and my two youngest sons, or I will take Luoyang and Kaifeng, and let him suffer from the enemy, and he will never be able to go back to Beijing!"

At the same time, outside the Dasheng Pass in the west of Nanjing City, an army that had just won the battle, but looked very unhappy, was winding its way.This army is the "Fujian Northern Expedition Army" led by Geng Jingzhong, Shang Zhixin, Liu Jinzhong and others. In order to seize Nanjing and occupy Jiangnan, they got up early in the morning. an evening episode.It was almost a month after most of Nanjing (excluding the imperial city) was captured by the third prince Zhu.

The reason why he was late for so long was, of course, that Geng Jingzhong's ability to rebel was a bit weak. He actually performed well at the beginning of the Battle of Wuhu. He caught Duolong by surprise and surrounded Wuhu.If he hadn't thought about taking Wuhu and destroying Duolong's main force at that time, but had directly attacked Nanjing, he could almost have entered the city with Third Prince Zhu.

But he wasted a lot of time on Duolong. Although Wuhu was captured in the end, Duolong and Duolong's main force still escaped on the warship sent by Shi Lang.

Afterwards, Geng Jingzhong discovered that the Third Prince Zhu seemed to be stable in Jinling City, and he was still holding training regiments in the counties under Yingtianfu. He felt that he should save some money, so he divided his troops to fight Taipingfucheng, Ningguofucheng Xuancheng and Chizhou Tongling of the government.Although they all succeeded, it was delayed for some time, so that it is only now that they lead the victorious army with low morale, escorting Mingzhu who is in the prison car for a while, and the sedan chair for a while, and Zhu who insists on sitting in the prison car all the time. Guozhi, together they entered Yingtianfu's territory with their heads down and down.
