At the end of the Ming Dynasty, I freely traveled through Yangshen

Chapter 49 On Migration to the South

It is difficult for the old camp soldiers of the intruders to accommodate the Guan Ning Army, and the Eight Banners soldiers of the Tatars. The current regent Dorgon has not yet arranged a good position for Wu Sangui. If he wants to surrender, Guan Ning Army has to do both. As a striker, being a death squad is really not as good as following the imperial court, being a direct descendant of the imperial court, going south to eat and drink well, and continue to make money.

This is Zhu Cihong's plan. As long as the 4 or [-] people in the Guan Ning Army are recruited, no matter if they go south or enter the Yangshen Izumo Kingdom, they will be almost invincible.

At that time, with this army, Jiangnan saw that Prince Zhu, who was carrying a sword, had to be obedient and pay money. With the army, Zhu Cixiang was not an empty shell when he went south, and he would not become a puppet. Even some people from this army were separated. , and can also expedition to the Izumo Kingdom, and quietly plant the flag of the Ming Dynasty in this small place with a population of only more than 20.

If Wu Sangui had the strategic thinking of Zhu Cixiang and supported Emperor Chongzhen to go south before Beijing was destroyed, his Wu family would have been prosperous and wealthy all his life, and there would be no need to end up with the bad reputation in history.

However, if Wu Sangui really had this ability, he would not have suffered such a big loss at the hands of Kangxi. Before the San Francisco Rebellion, Wu Sangui had accumulated decades of experience in Yunnan and Guizhou before he knew how to rebel. As a result, he was defeated by the Manchu and Qing court in a few seconds. .

"My father also knows that it is important to move south." Nodding, Zhu Cixiang looked at Wu Xiang seriously and said, "So in the next few days, a secret decree will be sent to Wang Yongji and his son Wu Sangui, and Guan Ning's cavalry will be sent south from Tianjin Wei! And! At the same time, Feng Yuanbiao was ordered to prepare two hundred large ships and thousands of naval personnel to go to Denglai to escort them."

"What, Your Majesty has already made arrangements?" Wu Xiang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, "Then all the ministers in the court have already agreed to move south?"

Wu Xiang had just met Emperor Chongzhen for a day or two, and he still didn't understand Emperor Chongzhen's temper. He really thought that Emperor Chongzhen was the kind of heroic emperor who could make arbitrary decisions. Little did he know that the reason why he didn't move south was not because Emperor Chongzhen wanted to get rid of him. The pot did not contribute.

"This is a secret decree, Admiral. Since it is a secret decree, you have to read a secret word. How could the Dukes of the imperial court know your majesty's thoughts." Seeing that Wu Xiang was not suspicious, Zhu Cixiang began to deceive, "South of the imperial court The plan to move must be communicated secretly, otherwise if the news leaks out, Li Zicheng will have to send light cavalry from his old camp from Xi'an to block it. At the same time, the Tartars outside Shanhaiguan will obviously not give up this time. If the opportunity comes, let alone moving south, if we don’t get it right, we will have to join forces to make dumplings for these two families.”

"Since none of the ministers in the court know about this, how many of these people can get out when they really have to leave?" Looking at Zhu Cixiang, Wu Xiang broke out in a cold sweat. He only felt that Emperor Chongzhen's mind was unpredictable. Is it to give up all the princes and princes of the court? !

What a cruel heart!
As expected of the emperor, Wu Xiang was silent for a while thinking about this, and then he said, "But the dogs outside the pass are also confronting the Tartars. What they are afraid of is that if they move their whole bodies, hundreds of thousands of Guan Ning's troops will be killed." It’s never easy to leave family members behind. If we were together, the goal would be too big. "

In fact, the life and death of the Gonggun princes in the imperial court have nothing to do with the Wu family. If he really succeeds in moving south, then Wu Xiang would like all the Gonggun princes in the court to die, so that his Wu family can join the family. In charge of the court and seizing the right to speak, even if the Wu family cannot be Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, or Sima Yi because there are still nobles in Nanjing, it is still good to be Zhuge Liang.

However, compared with the life and death of the nobles and nobles in the imperial court, Wu Xiang had to take care of the family members and relatives of Guan Ning Army. These 10 people were the real root of Guan Ning Army.

"We don't need all Guan Ning's troops to send out troops now. We only need the Admiral Wu family to mobilize three thousand men from Guan Ning's army to come to the capital. It shouldn't be difficult and it won't hurt our muscles and bones, right?" Zhu Cixiang looked at Wu with a smile on his face. Xiang, with bright eyes, said, "These three thousand men, even if they bring their families to Beijing, are at most 3 or 3 people. There are other Guan Ning troops holding the battle in Shanhaiguan, and the Tatars cannot think of tens of thousands of you." Just eat. When the time comes, you can bring the mules, horses and carts from Shanhaiguan. Twenty or thirty thousand people can be moved to the capital." "As long as three thousand servants come to the capital, it will not be difficult."

After hearing this, Wu Xiang thought for a moment, then nodded. After thinking for a moment, he said to Zhu Cixiang, "It's just that these people want to come to Beijing with their families. The journey will be rough and windy, so they can't afford to pay for it."

After saying that, he looked at Zhu Cixi longingly, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear, that is, if you want the Wu family to send troops, it is very simple, that is, give money.

Even though he was amazed at Zhu Cixang's personal military power, he, Wu Xiang, would still not let go of the actual amount of money that should be given to him. This thing was actual benefit.

"The coming of these three thousand servants to the capital actually has another meaning. If Shanhaiguan is breached, Guan Ning joins the Tartars, or the bandits go straight to Huanglong and destroy the Dragon Court, these three thousand servants can be A guarantee.”

Seeing Wu Xiang's indifferent look, Zhu Cixiang shook his head in his mind and decided to add to the drama: "It is rumored that Guan Ningjun is a smart man. Since Guan Ningjun is a smart man, I would like to ask you, Admiral Wu, if How can these servants perform in the hands of the intruders when they are used to fight the Tartars? How can they perform if these servants fall into the hands of the Tartars and are used to fight against the rogue soldiers who offer their thieves to the intruders and capture cities and territories? "

"I'm terrified!" Wu Xiang couldn't calm down after hearing this. He stood up and explained to Zhu Cixi, "Your Highness, slander, this is all slander. My Guan Ning army is full of loyal ministers, especially my Wu family. He sent glory and wealth to the Ming Dynasty, how dare he surrender to the ugly captives and the bandits..."

You, Guan Ningjun, and the Wu family are full of loyal ministers?

Who in future generations doesn’t know that your second son Wu Sangui was the greatest traitor of all time who allowed Dorgon to enter the country?

Although Zhu Cixiang was slandering in his heart, he still did not expose this on the surface. Instead, he slowly said to Wu Xiang with serious words, "Admiral, don't panic, Admiral, don't panic. I and the Holy One both know the thoughts of the Admiral, his son, and Guan Ning. , you father and son are both extremely smart people, and you must also understand that if Guan Ning is used by the Tartars or bandits, he will not end up well. He will either be sent to the front line as cannon fodder, or he will end up in poverty. .

Now is the time to employ people. These three thousand servants should be able to feed the king with his salary and share the king's worries. What's more, these servants are raised and fed by the court with millions of grains and salaries. Look at the world today. Who else can give the admiral, his son and Guan Ning millions of dollars in salary?
