Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 235 Li Zicheng Wants to Borrow Jingzhou, Wu Sangui Speaks North and South (Please subscribe, ask for a monthly ticket)
This Huang Zhisheng's last last Jinshi is obviously underestimated, that is to say, the imperial examination back then only had a written test and no interview. Otherwise, with his eloquence, he would not be able to get into the first class, and the second class would be absolutely fine.

This guy has iron teeth and copper teeth!With what he said, Wu Sangui's feat of revenge for Ming that he could show off at first, suddenly became a shocking crime of destroying Ming!

And what he said is quite reasonable, and there is no problem in logic.

It is impossible for the third prince Zhu to deny the legitimacy of Nanming, no matter in terms of reason and interests, he cannot deny it.

At that time, he, the official son of Emperor Chongzhen, didn't know where to hide to avoid the limelight. From the perspective of preserving the country of the Han people surnamed Zhu, these small courts of the Southern Ming Dynasty are all tenable.

Moreover, many warlords who supported the Third Prince Zhu as Emperor Xiandi of the Ming Dynasty had followed all kinds of "Xiao Ming" in the past. Those were the glorious years in the past. The Third Prince Zhu wanted to deny these Xiao Ming Dynasty. Can you agree?

In addition, the emperors of these small courts of the Southern Ming Dynasty and the royal families in the immediate branch are almost extinct now. Even if there is still a little embers left, not only is there no threat to the third prince Zhu, but it is still a force that can be used by him—— The third prince Zhu is not as powerful as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and there are not many of his own people, so he must cherish it!
As for whether Wu Sangui will bear the serious crime of "death to the Ming Dynasty" because of the demise of the Yongli Dynasty, that is not something that Prince Zhu and the big men behind him (except Wu Sangui himself) have to consider.

Anyway, it is not Wu Sangui who is holding the emperor and the princes in Nanjing now!
Seeing that Wu Yingxiong and Wu Shifan were speechless, Huang Zhisheng knew he had made the right choice.So I followed this point and said: "My son, my grandson, this Daming, my family's old king Chuang was wiped out once, and your family's old king Xi was wiped out once again. Although our two families are fighting They wear Daming's signboard, but in fact they are all Daming's enemies!"

Seems to be right!
Li Zicheng, Wu Sangui, one destroyed Da Ming, the other destroyed Er Ming, and now there is another San Ming who will never end!If this Sanming is really shocked, he will definitely avenge Da Ming and Er Ming. At that time, Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui will have nothing to eat!

"Besides, our two families are enemies of the Qing Dynasty!" Huang Zhisheng continued, "Your Xiwang family was forced to rebel by the Manchu Qing. If your family did not rebel, the Manchu Qing would not tolerate you, let alone now? And we Chuang Wang's family and Man Qing even have hatred for destroying the country and a sea of ​​blood! So our two families actually have two common enemies. Although we also have enmity between our two families. Before the mortal enemy is eliminated by us, shouldn't we join hands?"

Seems to make sense!

Wu Yingxiong and Wu Shifan were a little moved when they saw it.

Huang Zhisheng continued: "Now the prince of the Qing Dynasty, Yue Le, proposed to give Jingzhou to my old Chuang Wang to change a passage to Jiangnan to fight the third prince Zhu. There must be two tigers competing for food here. It is to use Jingzhou, Lead our two families to fight!"

The last Jinshi is also familiar with "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", so can't you see what the Manchus are planning?
And of course Wu Yingxiong and Wu Shifan knew what Manqing was thinking?In fact, Wu Yingxiong didn't plan to get angry with Li Zicheng either. He was thinking of Megatron Huaxia to save his wife!
However, this idea should not be exposed too early, you have to hold on to it.

Wu Yingxiong said: "How about this, you give me Jingzhou, Jingmen and the land south of the Han River in Anlu Mansion, and other places in Anlu Mansion and De'an Mansion can be given to King Chuang. In addition, I can also let me The third brother withdrew from Jiangxi, and gave all the territory he grabbed in Jiangxi to King Chuang. In this way, you King Chuang can go to the south of the Yangtze River with peace of mind, and I can also send troops to Nanyang and Luoyang, copying Kangxi's retreat. In the future, you King Chuang occupies the southeast, and our Wu family occupies Guanlong, Huguang, and Yunguichuan, so the Manchu Qing let them stay in Shanxi, Henan, Beizhili, and Shandong for a while?"

"That's what Chuang Wang meant!" Huang Zhisheng first gave an affirmative answer, and then changed the subject, "However, Yue Lehui will gather all the troops to Jingzhou City first, and then board the ship and set off from there. The Yangtze River goes all the way to the east. If it is not Chuang Wang's men who take over Jingzhou, but Wu's soldiers, I am afraid that Yue Le will immediately close the city and stick to it. The Ministry of Food and Grass is abundant. The siege of Jingzhou is easy to fight. Although the Wu family will be able to take Jingzhou down sooner or later, the delay in entering the Central Plains is not worth the loss, right?
It's not as good as King Chuang took over Jingzhou City first, while the lands of De'an and Anlu were first taken over by the Wu family.After Yue Le's people have left, how about our two families changing land? "

This is for Li Zicheng to borrow Jingzhou!

Wu Yingxiong and Wu Shifan immediately guessed what Li Zicheng was thinking!
The territories of Anlu and De'an cannot compare with Jingzhou City in terms of economic value or strategic value!
Because Jingzhou City is surrounded by the best plains in Hubei, surrounded by fertile paddy fields, a proper land of fish and rice!And Jingzhou is still an important stronghold for controlling the Yangtze River!Li Zicheng now holds the three fortresses in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, Wuchang, Hanyang, and Yuezhou. If he moves to Jingzhou again, the middle reaches of the Yangtze River will be firmly held by the old Li family.

As for Li Zicheng returning Jingzhou to Wu Sangui. Hehe, that was a dream!

However, Wu Yingxiong still nodded heavily: "Okay! That's it! Mr. Huang, please tell King Chuang to negotiate the terms with Yue Le as soon as possible. Then let Yue Le leave quickly! Regarding Lu's matter, let's talk about it slowly after Yue Le leaves."

His words sounded urgent, as if he was also eager to send Yue Le away.

And Huang Zhisheng also kind of knew what Wu Yingxiong was anxious about—anxiety for Megatron Huaxia!
He has already heard a lot of news from the northwest in Xiangyang. Wu Yingqi won another great victory in Qinzhou, defeated the Qing army commanded by Fei Yanggu, captured the entire Qinzhou, and then divided his troops into Gongchang, Lanzhou, etc. It is about to sweep Gansu!
If Wu Yingxiong doesn't take the time to show it, he will drive Kangxi away when his brother enters Guanzhong.It's hard to say whether the eldest son of the old Wu family will change!

After trying to understand the joints, Huang Zhisheng nodded with a smile: "Then I will leave for Wuchang immediately!"

"Mr. Wang," Wu Yingxiong said to Wang Shirong who was accompanying him, "You and Mr. Huang will go this way and choose the fastest boat to Wuchang!"

"Yes."

Huang Zhisheng and Wang Shirong left together. As soon as they left, Wu Yingxiong and Wu Shifan's voice came from a side door of the lobby where Wu Yingxiong and Wu Shifan were: "Hmph, Li Zicheng has borrowed Jingzhou like Liu Bei!"

Wu Yingxiong and Wu Shifan stood up together and greeted the door.

Then I saw Wu Sangui, who was dressed as a prince of the Ming Dynasty, walked in with Liu Xuanchu and Fang Guangchen swaggeringly, and then sat down on a grand teacher's chair in the middle of the lobby.

It turned out that Wu Sangui had already arrived in Xiangyang, but he didn't say anything, but quietly entered the city, and then hid directly in Wu Yingxiong's Shizi Mansion.

"Father," Wu Yingxiong also found a chair on the side and sat down, and then said to Wu Sangui, "Once Yue Le's army leaves, we will have no worries for the time being. Kangxi ceded Guanzhong and returned it to the princess!"

Return the princess?

Wu Sangui was very happy when he first heard Wu Yingxiong say that he was going to leave Nanyang and force Luoyang—this "bear son" seemed to be promising.Then when Wu Yingxiong said "Return the princess", his heart sank to the bottom.

You are already "Xiong Zhen Huaxia", what do you want Princess Jianning to do?Shouldn't they conquer the whole world in one go?

"Kangxi will not cede Guanzhong and hand over the princess! If he does this, he will tell the whole world that he can't beat us. How many people in the world will follow him and fight us?"

Wu Sangui poured a basin of cold water on his son's head, and then he said: "Even if you go out to Tunnanyang, Kangxi can reinforce the Central Plains by shrinking the troops in the northwest. He has more cavalry than us, and the Central Plains is flat. We have no How many cavalry cavalry, it is impossible to drive forward for a long time, they can only advance slowly from city to city, step by step!
If there is really no problem in our rear, then that's fine. Even if you die in the sun, you can be done in three to five years.But do you think Li Zicheng will really give us three to five years to slowly go north?Have you forgotten how Guan Yunchang was copied by Soochow back then?Are you not afraid that Li Zicheng will steal our Xiangyang City? "

"This." Wu Yingxiong couldn't answer for a while.

"Grandfather," Wu Shifan still had something to say, and he only heard him say, "It was not because Guan Yu lost Jingzhou because of carelessness, but because Mi Fang surrendered without fighting. It is impossible for a million soldiers to go down at once. Sun Er thinks that instead of taking the strong city of Xiangyang in the north, it is better to go east along the river and enter Jinling to hold the great son of tomorrow."

Wu Sangui nodded approvingly: "Shifan, what you have planned for Li Zicheng is indeed the best strategy. Xiangyang is not easy to get a strong city, and Jingzhou, Yuezhou, Hanyang, and Wuchang are also hard to find. It is not easy for us to destroy Li Zicheng, and it is not easy for Li Zicheng to take Xiangyang. And even if he takes Xiangyang, he will be under the attack of your third uncle and Man Qing, and the situation has not changed much.

But who can guarantee that Li Zicheng will take the best policy?If Li Zicheng was really that clever, how could he lose the country he had already obtained? "

Wu Shifan couldn't answer now.

Wu Sangui sneered: "And Li Zicheng won't trust me, Wu Sangui, and I can't trust Li Zicheng either! So Li Zicheng won't go east to Jiangnan until he takes Xiangyang, Changsha, and Yichang. But I'm taking Jingzhou, Wuchang, Hanyang, and Yuezhou Before, I didn’t dare to make a large-scale Northern Expedition!”

This time Wu Sangui's analysis makes sense!
Wu Shifan thought to himself: If Wang Xiaozhong was in Wuchang and I was in Xiangyang, there would be no problem for the two families to back-to-back.But my grandfather and Li Zicheng. My grandfather opened the Shanhaiguan Pass and attracted Qing soldiers, so that Emperor Li Zicheng didn't have to be a monk!This Li Zicheng wouldn't believe my grandfather even if he believed in ghosts!

"Father, that..." Wu Yingxiong, who was about to bear Zhen Huaxia, was hesitating again.

Wu Shifan understood what his father was thinking, and he also wanted to try to save his aunt, Princess Jianning, and her two younger brothers.

So Wu Shifan hurriedly helped to speak: "Grandpa, my grandson thinks we should use a tactic, a strategy of attacking the north and attacking the south!"

"Then tell me!"

Wu Sangui became interested.

In fact, he has already thought of good and bad ideas!
But his badness is his, and Wu Yingxiong is obviously not bad enough. Although Wu Shifan is good at fighting, it seems that there is not enough bad water in his stomach!
This time you have to listen carefully to what he has to say?
"Grandfather," Wu Shifan said, "we can pretend to lend Jingzhou to Li Zicheng, and at the same time march north to Nanyang, and send an envoy to Xi'an to demand that Kangxi cede Guanzhong and return the princess!"

This is Wu Yingxiong's wishful thinking!
The chances of success may not be high, but it is not impossible, so you should still try.

What if it succeeds?

Wu Shifan went on to say: "Kangxi will definitely not agree, and Li Zicheng will definitely come to attack. And we can bluff in Nanyang while mobilizing elite soldiers to go south and raid Jingzhou!
Although Li Zicheng has important towns such as Jingzhou, Wuchang, Hanyang, and Yuezhou, his military strength is not large, and he is still sandwiched between the Manchu Qing Dynasty and ours.If Li Zicheng wants to attack Xiangyang, he will definitely take time out of Jingzhou's soldiers, because for Li Zicheng, Jingzhou can still be lost, and Yuezhou, Hanyang, and Wuchang are the territories that cannot be lost.

Therefore, we are sure to take advantage of the false attack on Jingzhou!As for Yuezhou, Hanyang, and Wuchang, it is only a long-term plan. "

Wu Sangui nodded again and again, of course he knew what this grandson was planning, but Wu Yingxiong only thought about one move, but Wu Shifan had already thought about the next few moves, it seemed that Wu Shifan was worse.

Wu Shifan saw that Wu Sangui only nodded and didn't speak, so he used his brains and continued to think of bad ideas, and he really thought of something, "Grandpa, now Li Zicheng doesn't know that you are coming to Xiangyang, grandson can continue to keep it secret, and tell the outside world that you are planning to go to Xiangyang, grandpa." This is why my father and my third uncle are going to send troops to Zhongzhou. This is the route of "Longzhong Dui"!

If Li Zicheng didn't know that you came to Xiangyang, he would be more easily fooled, after all, my father has always been honest and honest."

Wu Sangui smiled: "Your father is an honest and good man, your grandfather and I are bad people, you can't learn from your father, you have to learn from me, do you understand?"

"Grandpa said that grandson must learn to be bad!"

"Learn to be bad. Hahaha!" Wu Sangui was amused by Wu Shifan's words, "You really have to study hard! But this time the bad idea is a good one, so let's do it!" While speaking, he turned to Guangchen and said, "Xian Ting, you go back to Hunan right away and tell the third brother to send Zu Zeqing to lead [-] troops to go north from Yichang to Xiangyang to help in the war, while he himself is stationed in Changsha to wait for orders."

"Yes!"

"Xuanchu," Wu Sangui said to Liu Xuanchu again, "Cai Lu, the general soldier of Henan Province in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, wants to lead Nanyang to join the old man, so you go to Nanyang with the old man's decree, make him the governor of Henan, and let him obey your command, Tell him not to move yet. After the prince sends troops, exaggerate the enemy's situation and report to Guanzhong! Let me say that the old man led a hundred thousand troops to attack the Central Plains in the north!"

"Yes!"

Huang Zhisheng and Wang Shirong sailed down the Han River in a fast boat, and arrived in Wuchang within a few days. They met Li Zicheng and Li Laishun in the Chu Palace in Wuchang.

When they arrived, Wuchang had already received a "hero post" from Nanjing, so as soon as Wang Shirong followed Huang Zhisheng in, Li Zicheng waved the "post" in his hand and said to the two of them with a smile: " Old Huang, Mr. Wang, you came just in time. Guess who sent this invitation?"

Wang Shirong and Huang Zhisheng saluted Er Li together, and then Huang Zhisheng asked with a smile, "My lord, is the envoy from Nanjing here?"

"Hehe, that's ok, I guessed it right away!" Li Zicheng nodded, "Third Prince Zhu and Geng Jingzhong have finally joined forces. Now that he has established himself in Nanjing, he is going to hold a conference of restoration of Ming Dynasty, and discuss national issues with heroes all over the world. Yes, we are discussing the reopening of the Ming Dynasty. Mr. Wang, the envoy of the Third Prince Zhu is planning to go to Xiangyang to meet the son of King Xi, who is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, so he will definitely send someone to attend the meeting, right?"

Wang Shirong was also confused by this news, why would there be a meeting to rebuild the Ming Dynasty?Could it be that the third prince Zhu should be promoted by the heroes of the world when he is the emperor?Doesn't this conform to the Emperor Ming's ancestral system?
Although he was muttering in his heart, he still gave an affirmative answer: "Of course, the prince of Xiwang will definitely send someone to Nanjing on behalf of Xiwang, maybe that person is a foreign minister."

"That's good!" Li Zicheng kept talking to Huang Zhisheng, and said with a smile, "I'll send Huang Zhisheng there, and then you will join the Qing envoys together, and everyone will go together!"

"What? An envoy from the Manchu Qing Dynasty? The Manchu Qing Dynasty also sent people to attend the Restoration Conference?" Wang Shirong was even more puzzled.

Anti-Qing Fuming and bring Man Qing to play?

Li Laishun said with a smile: "The emperor is joking with you! However, according to the envoy of the third prince Zhu, the third prince is indeed planning to send someone to send a message to Kangxi, asking Kangxi to also send an envoy to Nanjing to discuss the rebuilding of Ming Dynasty. Maybe The third prince Zhu wants to annoy Kangxi, right?"
