Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Wu Zhimao's words were surprising, but Wu Sangui was not surprised.

Because the literati of this era are very arrogant, and in order to attract attention, they always startle and startle with alarmism.

What he said showed that he was determined to surrender to him and was ready to obtain a certificate of surrender that he absolutely trusted.

Don't you just want to take refuge in me? You can make me pay attention to you by playing this kind of trick. What you think is beautiful.

Wu Sangui asked with a calm smile: "Brother said that I will die without a burial place, so let's hear it?"

Wu Zhimao tilted his head and asked, "Don't you want to hear what the two generous gifts I have brought you?"

Wu Sangui glanced sideways at the beautiful woman and smiled calmly: "Isn't it beautiful jewelry? It's no exaggeration to say that my brother, Chen Yuanyuan, who was in the capital, has an appearance that overwhelms the country and the city, and no one in the world can match her. And my brother has been guarding Shanhaiguan for many years. , There are countless gold, silver and jewels, but to my brother, they are just rubbish. On the contrary, I want to hear how my brother can tell that I have a dead end that I cannot break."

Wu Zhimao seemed unable to move Wu Sangui's heart when he saw these two things, but he didn't think it was strange either. I will truly dedicate these two things to you later, and I will not shock you to death.

Well, you regard beauty jewelry as rubbish, then I will tell you what you are interested in first, and it will also shock you to death.

Then he became serious: "Brother, do you know the reason why Li Chuang is wreaking havoc in Jiangnan this time?"

This was unexpected by Wu Sangui. He really didn't understand why the brother in front of him took the topic so far. "What's the cause?"

Wu Zhimao gritted his teeth: "Li Chuang went south to wreak havoc in the south of the Yangtze River. It was the little devil regent who adopted the strategy of driving away tigers and devouring wolves."

Wu Sangui frowned: "He lured this tiger to the south of the Yangtze River. Which wolf did he swallow?"

"The first wolf he swallowed was a wealthy family from Jiangnan."

"Why did he do that?"

"Because of the long period of peace, the big clans in the south of the Yangtze River have widely occupied fertile land, and there is a saying that there is no idle land in the south of the Yangtze River. According to tradition, the gentry did not pay grain, and the gentry's tenant relatives did not do corvee labor. This is why the financial collapse occurred in the late Ming Dynasty. "

When mentioning this matter, Wu Sangui was deeply touched: "Yes, the financial collapse of the Ming Dynasty in the later period, and there was no money to raise troops, and only in March of the 17th year of Chongzhen did the tragedy occur, the country was almost destroyed and the family was destroyed. Now thinking about it, it still makes people feel scared. Woolen cloth."

"And the little regent implemented the emperor's order in order to improve the finances and win over the people. But he knew that he would not dare to enforce it on those aristocratic families who really controlled the land. He wisely knew that if he dared If such a policy is carried out among the gentry, let alone the bandits, all the gentry in the world will be destroyed more quickly. "

Wu Sangui nodded lightly: "The regent was not as concerned as the emperor at that time. He was a reasonable person, and he led Ming Dynasty step by step to where it is today."

"It is precisely because he is rational and calm, and he wants to truly save the Ming Dynasty and break the three-hundred-year-old fate of all dynasties, that he introduces Li Chuang to Jiangnan. With Li Chuang's help, he can do what Huang Chao did back then, and deal with the big families in Jiangnan. The powerful landlords carried out bloody massacres to eradicate stubborn diseases and cancers.

In Jiangnan now, most of the powerful landlords from aristocratic families have been slaughtered by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. "

Then his eyes turned blood red: "This is exactly how I worshiped that brat. All the more than 800 members of my clan in the south of the Yangtze River were killed in the hands of the Li Chuang bandits. I swear to avenge this terrible revenge."

Wu Sangui clapped his hand sympathetically: "The general trend is inevitable, and there is nothing we can do about it. Brothers, please express your condolences."

Wu Zhimao sneered: "Faced with such a cruel reality, brother, can you still stay out of it?"

Wu Sangui smiled calmly: "What does this have to do with me?"

Wu Zhimao also sneered: "Let me tell you one more thing, then this matter has something to do with my brother." "What is it?"

"That's the kid who lured Li Chuang to massacre Jiangnan for his second purpose, to eliminate the four towns in Jiangnan. Now three of them have been destroyed. Gao Jie has to take the initiative to delegate power to protect himself. Then after the world is calmed down, my brother can still have this high position. Is it possible to avoid death? "

"I--"

Wu Zhimao sneered again: "Brother, please stop saying that you are not a fan town and you don't want to dominate. Because from the beginning to now, no matter whether you want to become a fan town or not, in that kid's heart, you have already become a fan town, and you have already turned him into a fan town." You're so offended, don't you know it?"

Wu Sangui frowned and said nothing in thought.

"At the beginning, millions of rogue bandits were about to attack the city, and Chongzhen was about to destroy his country and his family. He ordered you to bring Guan Ning back to rescue the capital. However, when you left Shanhaiguan, you stalled in Yongping and asked Chongzhen for 30 yuan for departure. Could it be that soldiers We really don’t have the 30 departure fee, so we really don’t want to go back to Beijing to rescue him?”

Only then did the question really get to the point, and the real pain point in Wu Sangui's heart.

"Brother just wants to use these 30 silver to test Chongzhen. To test whether the Ming Dynasty still has the possibility to continue. You can stand in the middle position, either sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, or turn around and join the Qing Dynasty. , Is that what my brother was thinking at that time?"

Wu Sangui was a little panicked when someone suddenly revealed his thoughts, and he defended with a guilty conscience: "No."

Wu Zhimao sneered and exposed his background unceremoniously: "My good brother, stop deceiving yourself. Even I, who is far away in Jiangnan, can see this kind of thinking. Don't you think Chongzhen, who has always been suspicious, can't see it? ? Can’t that clever little guy see it?”

Wu Sangui was speechless and had nothing to say.

"That's why, before you entered the capital, that kid gave you the money he obtained through despicable means. Then he sent the prince to your place to supervise the army. But under the pressure of millions of rogue troops, Instead of letting your whole army advance, they divided your troops and took half of your soldiers back to Shanhaiguan. Didn't my brother see that they were afraid that you were too powerful to control them? "

Wu Sangui remained silent. In fact, he had already seen this. But Zhao Youhu had always been loyal to the father and son. At that time, he did not dare to make any further decisions. I could only watch as he took away half of his troops.

"But the same army is pressing down on the country, but that kid cobbled together less than 5 imperial troops, and actually left in the capital. Who is he guarding against? Don't you understand, brother?"

Wu Sangui sighed in his heart as an answer.

"When you returned to Beijing, that brat gave you a military parade to shock you. He wasn't trying to guard against you. Why did he do this?

After that, instead of leaving you in the capital, you were thrown directly to Xuanda in the bitter cold land in the north. I just want to use Yuan Zongdi's hand to consume the troops in your hands. You only have 3 troops left, but you hesitate to replenish them.

Then they sent Qi Fei to station behind you. Wasn't it to guard against whom you were guarding? "

Wu Sangui sighed again, thinking of the outcome of his situation back then, he felt really sad and angry.

"First you offended their father and son, and then you wanted to occupy territory in Xuanda and form Wei Da. When you entered Shanxi, you divided up 1 of your people. Don't all these signs indicate to you that they and their son have already They seriously distrust you, and you are already a vassal in their hearts. Once the world is at peace, you will no longer be of use, and your only outcome is life and death, and you will never be spared. Not to protect yourself? But with your current development, can your brother protect himself?"

Wu Sangui felt like he had a mirror in his heart. Someone told him what was on his mind. He couldn't help but lean on the back of his chair and sighed: "I have a loyal heart, but I am always being suspected. No, no, no."

Wu Zhimao was ecstatic when he saw Wu Sangui being moved by him.

"My brother is in such a situation. I don't think it's worth it. Therefore, I will give him a way to get out of his predicament."

Wu Sangui's eyes lit up: "Brother, what can I do?" (End of Chapter)
