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

Wu Zhimao wanted to rebel immediately, but then advised him to wait. Wu Sangui was a little confused.

Wu Zhimao explained with a smile: "Just now I advised my brother to hurry up, and that was from the overall perspective. But now I advise my brother not to rush, because I am considering it from the inside."

"Tell me what you think." Wu Sangui now somewhat obeyed Wu Zhimao's words.

"First of all, we need to do internal integration, that is, to completely capture your father and uncle who are now in China and Mongolia."

"Is there anything to worry about?"

"Of course there is. After all, my brother's father has been favored by the emperor; Zu Dashou was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and for this reason he did not hesitate to betray the Manchu Qing Dynasty three times. If you want to betray the Ming Dynasty, it will not work if you cannot get their full and sincere support.

Also, the children of the Wu family in Mongolia cannot be suppressed by relying on their brother's prestige. They must be convinced and support his brother. "

Wu Sangui thought for a while and nodded gently: "You are somewhat right. Although my father can approve of me becoming a vassal town, he may not be able to support me in establishing an independent country and becoming emperor. Without the full support of China and Mongolia that he occupies, big things will happen. It really can’t happen.”

"For this reason, I suggest that my brother should not proclaim himself emperor, but dedicate this jade seal to his uncle and respect him as the emperor. In this way, his uncle will fully support you. And because of him With his status and position, he can suppress your brothers."

Wu Sangui held on to the Imperial Seal and refused to let go, but after changing his face several times and pondering over and over again, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "What a good idea. Respect my father as the emperor, and I will do the same as the prince."

Wu Zhimao let out a sigh of relief: "Because your uncle supports you, you can use your aunt to persuade your uncle Zu Dashou and lead his children to support you. Wouldn't it be a great success?"

Zu Dashou valued family ties the most. This was the first two times because his family members were captured by the Manchus and had to be surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. And once the relatives are out of trouble, they immediately return to the light, which is enough to prove it.

And he loved his sister very much and obeyed her every word. During the Battle of Daling River, Zu Dashou was trapped. Wu Xiang brought 5,000 reinforcements to reinforce him, but he ran away halfway without saving him, causing Zu Dashou to eat people to defend the city. In the end, the court wanted to arrest Wu Xiang and punish him, but his sister came forward to intercede with Zu Dashou. Although Zu Dashou hated Wu Xiang's teeth at the time, he finally came forward, and Wu Xiang's life was saved.

As long as he holds on to his mother's fate, his uncle will definitely be able to support him.

Wu Zhimao smiled sinisterly again: "The other thing is that we have not accumulated enough material and money now. Then we will take advantage of this little brat, who relies entirely on you to pacify Mengxi, and use all means to ask for money and food from him, and also ask Father My uncle will hurry up and buy exchange supplies from the Ming Dynasty. During this time, we will conquer the surrounding tribes and expand our territory and strengthen our troops. By the time that brat finds out, we will already have enough troops and territory to match. It’s completely possible to kill everyone.”

Wu Sangui took his brother's hand and said, "Brother, you alone can match Zhang Liang's wife. It's a big deal."

Therefore, in the past six months, Wu Sangui led his army to sweep through Western Inner Mongolia, conquered other tribes that were not Turgut, recruited rebels, and quickly expanded his territory and population. Conquering tribes drafted young men into the army.

By the time Wu Xiang was invited here, in addition to his old base troops, he also had 10 cavalry. Together with the eldest prince's army, he already had 20 troops.

And during this period, he kept reaching out to the Ming Dynasty court, asking for money, food, and rewards, using all the excuses. In and out, he had already asked for nearly seven million silver dollars in money and materials from the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, news came that the Ming Dynasty had destroyed Zhang Xianzhong, and Wu Sangui and Wu Zhimao immediately felt that after Zhang Xianzhong was destroyed, Li Zicheng would be next. We can't wait any longer, otherwise we will miss the time. For this reason, Wu Sangui wrote to his father Wu Xiang, asking him to come over and discuss important matters.

Wu Xiang really didn't expect that in less than a year, his son would have so many arrangements.

After listening to the narration, he slapped the table and said, "Ever since I was a child, I have always thought that you are either an ordinary person or one of the best among people. As expected. Since you have such a comprehensive arrangement, the situation is 90% successful. We, father and son, have done it."

Wu Sangui was overjoyed to receive such affirmative support from his father, and filled his father's cup again: "I wish my father a long life and long life to rule the world."

Wu Xiang covered his glass but did not drink: "I am 90% sure of what I said. The most important thing here is your uncle. You also know that your uncle is in the Mengzhong area. Due to the original reason, he has absolute control. At the same time, your uncle is the commander of the grassland in Ming Dynasty, and he is in charge of all the Mongolian armies in the area, including me. Only if he fully supports you can I be absolutely sure of this matter. He said."

"Dad is right. Therefore, it is very important to convince uncle to support us. I also ask my father to help us."

Wu Xiang drank the wine in one gulp, stood up and said: "Zhang Xianzhong has been wiped out. That little devil emperor can already spare some of his energy and use it in other places. Time waits for no one. I won't delay here anymore. I will take the lead now." Bring your brothers back to Mongolia." Then facing the nephew he brought, he asked with a cold face: "Are you participating in such a big event?"

The nephews immediately knelt down again: "I would like to follow the emperor in founding the country and making contributions."

"Okay, once the founding of the country is successful, you will all be princes side by side. Now I will take you back to Mongolia, immediately organize your army, and quietly unite your brothers to join. I will go to persuade Zu Dashou, within one month Raise an army and proclaim yourself emperor."

Then he said viciously: "Remember, contact your comrades. Those who can work with you will be friends. Those who don't work with you or hesitate, kill. You must not be lenient."

Wu Sangui did not expect that his father, who was always indecisive, would become so decisive after becoming emperor. He immediately said happily: "Father, the arrangements are well made. I am waiting here for your good news."

After the father and son and Wu Zhimao discussed the plan in detail again, Wu Sangui said: "As long as the 700,000 yuan and grain I recently asked for from that brat are obtained, we will raise our troops together."

Wu Xiang nodded: "That's it, I'll go back and arrange it right away."

After that, father and son said goodbye and parted.

On the way back, halfway through, Wu Xiang suddenly stopped moving forward, and several of his nephews asked inexplicably.

Wu Xiang did not explain the reason, but just called an absolute confidant: "Go back and call your uncle to come over and meet me. Let's talk about important matters someday."

The confidant didn't ask any more questions, immediately jumped on his horse and rode away. When Wu Xiang looked at his figure, he was no longer as excited as he was in Wu Sangui's tent, but became worried. (End of chapter)
