Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 324: Wu Sangui cheats Li Chuang of his illness! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
"Father, should we annex Yarkand now? Isn't it too early? Don't we still want to kill Li Zicheng and take Guangdong and Guangxi? If we move Yarkand now, Galdan of Junggar will definitely not give up. Then we and Isn’t Junggar just starting to fight? Will there still be enough energy to kill Li Zicheng and take Guangdong and Guangxi?”

Wu Yingxiong was a little puzzled when he heard the conversation between his father and younger brother.

Wu Sangui's current national policy is to sneak attack Li Zicheng and annex Guangdong and Guangxi!

Originally, the old man was a little worried that Kangxi would send troops to fish in troubled waters when Zhou Ming started the war. Now that Kangxi is fighting North Korea and helping the Mongols deal with the Raksha Kingdom, it seems that he will not intervene in the Zhou Ming war.Doesn't this just happen to attack Li Zicheng and Guangdong and Guangxi?
Why did you run to collect Yarkand as soon as you turned around?Junggar has been greedy for the territory of the Yarkand Khanate for many years, and there is no unity within the Yarkand. One Khan fights that Khan, one faction fights that faction, and it seems that it will succeed.

Moreover, Galdan also sent envoys to greet Wu Sangui through the relationship of the Great Lama in Xueyu, saying that everyone wanted to fight against the Yarkand Khanate for the sake of the Bodhisattva.

Wu Sangui has a good relationship with the Great Lama of Xueyu. When he was King Pingxi in Yunnan in his early years, he used the relationship of the Great Lama to bypass the blockade of the Qing court and bought a lot from the Yeerqiang Khanate and the Heshuote Khanate. Good horse.

The Pingxi Wangfan Army has been in Yunnan and Guizhou for so many years, and it can still maintain its own cavalry strength, thanks to the help of the Great Lama of Xueyu.It stands to reason that he will always give the great lama a face this time - Galdan is the disciple of the great lama!

When Wu Sangui heard the proposal from the eldest son Wu Yingxiong, he just smiled and turned to look at the second son Ying Qi: "Second brother, you are in charge of the affairs of the West. Tell me, why did we accept Yeerqiang?"

"Brother, taking over the Yarkand Khanate doesn't mean annexing it. Just accept a vassal and let them go to fight with various factions in the western countries." Wu Yingqi explained, "There are three reasons why we took over the Yarkand Khanate. Hit the west and hit the east! If we want to attack Daming in the east, we must first paralyze Daming, especially the old traitor Li Zicheng. Only after he is paralyzed can our navy attack Wuchang and Hanyang successfully.

The second is to stabilize the rear.Galdan is now rising in Oirat in Moxi, and he is very capable of fighting. He has sent troops to attack Oqiertuhan, the leader of Oirat, in successive years, and there are already signs of unifying the Oirat ministries.

And the Great Lama, the Monk King of the Snow Region, was Galdan’s teacher. The Great Lama had a great influence on the Snow Region and the Shuote Khanate.After the death of Khan, the national teacher of Heshuote, the big lama had the final say on the affairs of Xueyu and Shuote Khanate.

If most of the territory of the Yarkand Khanate is given to his apprentice Galdan, then in the future, this great lama will hold Xueyu Heshuote with one hand, and Galdan with the other hand, and we will be behind us. Didn't the big movies become the domain of the Great Lama of the Snowy Land?Can we feel at ease?Whether it is Xueyu Heshuote or Junggar, they are all the Mongols who are the best at looting!

The third is that we also have many officers and soldiers who believe in Tianfangjiao. Ma Xiong, who was defeated by Li Fuchen in Guangxi and came to join us, is a believer in Tianfangjiao.Now it happens to send them to the territory of the Yarkand Khanate to support the khan who is willing to take refuge in our Yarkand Khanate. There are several khans in the Yarkand Khanate, and now the better one is Babai Khan who occupies Hami and Turpan. , we can send Ma Xiong to support him. "

After hearing Wu Yingqi's analysis, Wu Sangui nodded again and again, appearing very satisfied.Then he smiled and looked at Wu Yingxiong, who knew little about the big stalls of Xueyu, Yarkand, Junggar, and Heshuote, and said with a smile: "Boss, do you understand? We are very important to Yarkand." Kill three birds with one stone, it can not only attack the west, but also separate Xueyu from Shuote and Junggar, and stabilize Gansu.

And there is no need to dispatch our direct descendants to let Ma Xiong bring [-] households into Hami and Turpan, and he should be able to help Babai Khan in the eastern part of the Yarkant Khanate into the Great Khan of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.At that time, we will accept the Eastern Chagatai Khanate as a vassal, and let the Eastern Chagatai Khanate go to consume with Junggar, Heshuote, and those half-Mongolian and half-Turkic Khanates west of Congling. "

"But why does this Babai Khan have to fight so many enemies for us?" Wu Yingxiong still didn't understand.

Wu Yingqi said impatiently, "Brother, don't you know who Chagatai is?"

"Chahatai? It seems to be the son of Genghis Khan? Ah, is this Yarkand Khanate established by the descendants of Chagatai?"

"The Yarkand Khanate is actually the Chagatai Khanate!" Wu Yingqi explained, "The first great Khan of the Yarkand Khanate, Said Khan, was a direct descendant of Chagatai. He was born in Turpan and later He also went to the west to help the Great Khan of the Chagatai Khanate to fight. After the Chagatai Khanate was destroyed by the Uzbeks, he was displaced for many years before he was supported by his cousin, the founding emperor Babur of the Mughal Kingdom of India. He led an expedition of [-] Mughals back to what we call the Western Regions, and established the Yarkand Kingdom.

In fact, the name of the Yarkand Khanate was called by outsiders, because the capital was located in the city of Yarkand.And the real name of the country has always been the Chagatai Khanate. Don't look at the Chagatai Khanate hiding in our Western Regions, but the large area to the west of Congling Mountain is the hometown of the Chagatai Khanate.Most of the khans who are entrenched there now are descendants of the Golden Horde Khanate, who were driven to the west of Congling by the Raksha people to grab the territory. "

Now Wu Yingxiong finally understood that the Yeerqiang Khanate was still a Western orthodoxy, no wonder the old man and Wu Yingqi didn't want it to perish and let it live, they could set it up as a target and let Heshuote and Galdan be on it Consume the extra energy, and when necessary, push it to the west of Congling Ridge to stir up the situation.How to play depends on the need, it's really good.

"I understand!" Wu Yingxiong said, "Royal Father, then should we go west with great fanfare?"

Wu Sangui nodded, and said with a smile: "This time, let Shi Cong be in command as the general guard of the Western Regions, sit in Liangzhou, let Ma Xiong be the commander-in-chief of Hami, and send troops to Hami and Turpan! Actually, we can send out [-] military households. Declare a crowd of [-]!"

"Then after Shi Cong and Ma Xiong send troops together, can we surprise Hanyang and Wuchang?" Wu Yingxiong asked again.

"Not yet," Wu Sangui shook his head, "As a father, I have to pretend to be sick again!"

"Fake sickness again?"

"That's right!" Wu Sangui laughed, "Last time, my father made Yue Le miserable by pretending to be sick. This time, my father will cheat Li Chuang!"

"Hit Li Chuang?" Wu Yingxiong broke the casserole and asked the bottom line, "Father, how are you going to cheat him?"

Wu Sangui said with a smile: "The old man will pretend to be sick. This important matter in the country is just for you two to discuss and deal with!"

As he said that, he pointed to Wu Yingxiong and Wu Yingqi, and said with a smile: "One of you is the eldest son of the prince, and the other is the second son of the king of Qin. I, the emperor's father, is not in good health. Tell me, how happy that group of people surnamed Li will be! "

Brother Wu Yingxiong and Wu Yingqi looked at each other with complicated expressions on their faces!
Wu Sangui probably also saw the expressions of these two dutiful sons, and just smiled awkwardly: "Boss, second child, is there any news from Guangxi? That Li Jiqing has been here for a while, right? Why haven't you seen him rebelling?"

"Father, don't worry, he will definitely rebel." Wu Yingxiong assured, patting his chest.

"Definitely?" Wu Sangui asked, "Why are you so sure? Could it be that Li Zhongshan wrote you a letter?"

"Of course not, but my boy has reliable information, that Jiqing... his surname is no longer Li, he is now Sun Jiqing again!" Wu Yingxiong laughed, "And it was Li Fuchen who personally deprived him of the qualification to be surnamed Li.

Now, Sun Jiqing is no longer Li Fuchen's son! "

Wu Sangui said to himself: "That's really embarrassing...I didn't expect that living Lu Bu to be so cruel!"

Wuchang Fucheng, Zhongwangfu.

Under the setting sun, Li Zicheng was standing on the wall of Prince Zhong's Mansion just like at this time in the past, staring at the increasingly prosperous metropolis in front of him.This man who almost owns the whole world is now devoting all his energy to running the five prefectures of Wuchang, Hanyang, Huangzhou, De'an, and Anlu.

This is his last objection!
It is said that he can only fight and kill, but not rule the world. He has no chance to rule the world, okay?So after Li Zicheng realized that he had no chance to win the world again, he made up his mind to manage these mansions in an orderly manner.

As the ruling center of Li Zicheng and Li Laishun, Jiangxia, the prefectural city of Wuchang, naturally received the greatest attention from the old King Chuang.

The wharves outside Jiangxia city, the streets inside the city, the dams along the banks of the Yangtze River, and the rivers that go in and out of the city and around the city have all been more or less renovated and expanded.

In order to facilitate the travel between the three towns of Jiangxia, Hankou, and Hanyang, Li Zicheng also ordered the Hubei Governor's Yamen to fund the establishment of the "Three Towns Ferry", and also built a special ferry terminal.

In addition, Li Zicheng was also very concerned about the reading of the students in the three towns. He opened three official academies in Jiangxia, Hankou, and Hanyang. He also found someone to get textbooks from the Guangdong Restoration Academy, and invited teachers from the Guangdong Restoration Academy to teach. .

Wuchang, Hanyang, Huangzhou, De'an, Anlu and other prefectures, especially the administration of officials in Wuchang prefecture, are also of great concern to Li Zicheng—who is Li Zicheng?He has killed countless corrupt officials in his life!

Compared to anti-corruption, then he can definitely be number one in the world!

So if you are an official under him, whoever dares to mess around would be courting death?

Moreover, the current Li Zicheng also has enough prestige to manage his direct descendants well, and prevent these people from messing around - they are all his sons and grandchildren!

As for the law and order on Li Zicheng's territory, let alone, the biggest thief in the world is himself!

That is the ancestor of the thief!
Even Jiangyang thieves have to keep their tails between their tails when they arrive in Hankou, Jiangxia, and Hanyang.

Of course, Li Zicheng would not embarrass these gangsters from other places, as long as he did not commit crimes on his territory, he could live in peace.

So Hankou, Jiangxia, and Hanyang may have a lot of bad people, but the security is much better than Yingtian Mansion and Guangzhou Mansion.

How could this Li Zicheng half pull the founding emperor, let him manage the whole world, he can't do it, and it may be a bit difficult to manage a province, but now there are only a few prefectures, and he still manages it as the last career of his life, he is really good at managing it.

Under his governance, although these few prefectures did not have any people discussing politics, they were the home of the old Li family, but they also made the officials clear and bright, the people's livelihood stable, the economy developed, and even education was done well.

"Grandpa, grandpa, good news!"

Li Zicheng, who was about to go down to the city to have dinner, suddenly heard his eldest grandson Li Laishun shouting. Looking back, it was indeed His Royal Highness the King Zhong who came galloping in his robe.He was accompanied by Huang Zhisheng, the governor of Hubei from Daming's side, and Liu Yihu, the admiral of Hubei. All three of them were smiling from ear to ear.

"What's good?" Li Zicheng asked with one eye narrowed.

"Grandpa, please greet you first." Li Laishun greeted Li Zicheng first, and then said, "Wu Sangui, the scourge, has fallen ill and hasn't shown up for several days. Now Chang'an's government affairs are discussed by Wu Yingxiong and Wu Yingqi. .”

"Really?" Li Zicheng was skeptical, "Didn't you say that Wu Sangui went out of the city for [-] miles to send Wu Shizhen to the west to conquer Yaerqiang? It's only been a few days, why did he fall ill? Maybe this old thief is cheating again. Do you want to hurt someone?"

"Old Emperor, you are worrying too much. Wu Sangui is also quite old." Huang Zhisheng also glanced at Li Zicheng as he spoke. It has been determined, and no one can change it in a short period of time. No matter how much he cheats, it will be useless."

Liu Yihu also nodded and said: "My lord, our defense is foolproof. There is a beacon tower every ten miles along the Yangtze River, and we have built twelve forts. It is impossible for Wu Sangui's army to attack by water. As for land, it is not very convenient to come to Wuchang by land. It is more than 300 miles from Yuezhou, and there are mountains, waters, and lakes along the way, as well as our passes and castles. Wu Sangui's army can't pass through."

Liu Yihu was right. Jiangxia City in Wuchang Mansion not only sits on the natural moat of the Yangtze River, but also has great strategic depth. Attacking from Wu Sangui's territory, whether by water or land, is hundreds of miles away.When the Chuang army has already completed its deployment and built a large number of passes, forts, and forts, it is completely wishful thinking to attack Jiangxia City in one pass.

Li Zicheng thought for a while, and then laughed: "It seems that I was too worried. Although it is said that the scourge lives for thousands of years, Wu Sangui is 60 and almost [-], and a life of [-] is rare! It's time to go down to the [-]th floor of the underworld. !"

When it comes to Wu Sangui's going to the underworld, Li Zicheng himself is a little worried—although he has been a monk for many years and has done many good deeds in Wuchang and other places, but can he redeem his past killings? It's really hard to say what the crime is!
Just as he was thinking, Liu Yihu tentatively asked, "My lord, Li Fuchen's emissary has been waiting for several days."

The envoy Li Fuchen sent to Li Zicheng was named Jia Guoying, the son of Jia Fuhan, the governor of Hunan in the Ming Dynasty, and Li Jizhen's wife-in-law.

His purpose of coming to Wuchang Mansion was, of course, to ask Li Laishun to send troops to fight Jiangxi together.

Li Zhongshan finally made up enough of the 80 taels of military expenses that should be given to Li Fuchen, so Li Fuchen has recently prepared to send troops to Jiangxi.But Jiangxi's terrain is quite dangerous, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake on one side.It would be more difficult to attack from only one direction, so Li Fuchen thought of attacking from both sides.

However, Li Zicheng has little interest in attacking Jiangxi now-a Jiujiang fight was unsuccessful, and his heart was cold.On the other hand, Li Fuchen, Li Zhongshan and his son, attacking a city and conquering territory, is as easy as searching for something.

Obviously, the eighteen sons of the "eighteen sons rule the world" refer to Li Fuchen and Li Zhongshan!
Since this "Li Tianxia" belongs to Li Fuchen and Li Zhongshan, why is Li Zicheng still messing around?Be safe and manage the territory in your hands well, wouldn't you?

However, both Li Laishun and Liu Yihu still wanted to work harder.

Even if the two of them don't want to work hard, there are still a group of second and third generations who broke into the camp below, and they all still want to be heroes of the restoration of Ming Dynasty!

Seeing that Li Zicheng didn't seem to accept Liu Yihu's faults, Li Laishun chimed in and said, "Grandpa Huang, Nan Wang is our own family after all... He always has to give some face.

If he and the King of England really changed the world's surname to Li in the future... then the grandson can be regarded as a family member of the royal family, so he must help out a little bit, right? "

Huang Zhisheng also reminded: "Your Majesty, before we could use defense against Wu as an excuse, but now Wu Sangui seems to have fallen ill. The Wu family sent troops to the Western Regions again, saying that it was to quell the chaos in Yeerqiang... If we don't cooperate with the troops again, I'm afraid You can't say it, can you?"

Li Zicheng frowned and said: "I always feel that this matter is not reliable... This Wu Sangui is very cunning. Don't say that he is not dead yet, he is just sick. Even if it is really a grand funeral, I will doubt him It's cheating!"

"Grandpa Huang, do you think this will work? Let's build more beacon towers. Wherever the army marching east, the beacon towers will be built. If Wu Sangui sends troops to attack us, as long as the beacon fires come together, grandson will lead his troops back immediately."

Liu Yihu nodded, raised his thumb and said, "Your Majesty, this method is good. If Wu Sangui wants to sneak attack on us, it will take hundreds of miles, whether by water or land. Let's light the fire, and the frontline soldiers will know immediately. When they return to Wuchang , Wu Sangui probably hasn't arrived yet!"

"This method is not bad," Li Zicheng pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "Then I will meet with that surnamed Jia tomorrow, and discuss with him some conditions for sending troops... Yihu, Laishun, Mr. Huang, you all together Have a meal with me, let's chat while eating, and discuss what benefits should I ask Li Fuchen for?
By the way, the kitchen has already prepared the famous dishes of Wuchang, such as water basin lamb, gourd chicken, and Roujiamo... but we must drink a few more glasses. "
