Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 222 All Quiet in the West ([-])
After Zhu Guotai left for a long time, Wu Sangui sat motionless.This matter is so important that Wu Sangui did not think twice about it.And don't look at what the gangsters say is beautiful, but they don't even want to support a penny, it's a completely worthless business.But at the same time, it seems that the group bandits are very sincere when they say whose territory will be attacked.However, no matter how extravagant the gangsters say, he must be able to tide over this difficulty.

This time, the imperial court assembled more than [-] elite soldiers and generals, led by the famous general Hong Chengchou. Tan Tai and Aobai with outstanding military exploits were all partial generals.This made Wu Sangui not very optimistic about the gangsters, thinking that under the vigorous attack of the court, the gangsters might suffer heavy losses.

Of course, Wu Sangui only thought that the bandits would suffer heavy losses.He firmly believed that the gangsters would not perish, especially that this time the court focused on only the headquarters of the gangsters.

In the end, Wu Sangui made a decision, and he must not act rashly at this time.Wait for the news from Jiangnan before making a decision.It's better to be still than to move. I have a small capital, so I can't just blow it up easily. It will be difficult to turn back if I go the wrong way.

Of course, Zhu Guotai's visit this time was not fruitless. Zhu Guotai's words and Qiu Tianxing's letter successfully planted a shadow of betrayal in Wu Sangui's heart.As long as the Tartars decline, Wu Sangui may rebel again and plunder the land of Hunan.

There are not only Tartar forces in Hunan, but also the remaining forces of the Western Army.The fight between Wu Sangui and the rest of the Great Western Army was probably what Qiu Tianxing expected.

After making up his mind, Wu Sangui called Wu Yingfa and asked Wu Yingfa in detail why he insisted on seeing the bandit's emissary by himself.

After hearing this, Wu Yingfa's heart tightened. He knew that if he couldn't explain well, he might really lose Wu Sangui's trust.So, he said hastily.

"My lord, this bandit envoy came to the camp alone and asked to meet you, my lord. However, he didn't say "My lord", but called you "General Soldier"! This subordinate happened to pass by there, and when he heard about it, he became suspicious. , and this is how I report to you, my lord."

Hearing Wu Yingfa's words, Wu Sangui's heart tightened. He stared at Wu Yingfa fiercely, as if he wanted to find out whether Wu Yingfa was lying from his facial expressions.After a long time, Wu Sangui gave up, he felt that Wu Yingfa was not lying.

So, Wu Sangui said to Wu Yingfa.

"Go and dispose of all the soldiers who saw the envoys of the regiment bandits. Well, there is no rush for now, let's transfer them away first, and then deal with them slowly."

"Hey!" Wu Yingfa was startled, and hurriedly responded.

The prince is going to keep it a secret. After disposing of these guards, the only one besides the prince who knows this secret is himself.Although I don't know what the gangster envoy and the prince said, but I can't guarantee that I am safe.

Maybe the prince wants to deal with those gatekeepers himself, and then deal with himself in the end.Thinking of this, Wu Yingfa was in a very bad mood. He felt that it was a mistake for him to report to the prince.If he had known this before, he might as well have just slashed the envoy of the bandit, so that he would be safe.Sure enough, as people said, those who can share secrets with Shangguan are either confidantes or dead people, and the possibility of dead people is higher.

Fortunately, when Wu Yingfa turned to leave, Wu Sangui said something again.

"Forget about it after you're done, no one came to see the king today."

After hearing Wu Sangui's words, Wu Yingfa was ecstatic, quickly responded, and left with ease.Life is so good, it's good not to die.

When Wu Yingfa left with a sigh of relief, Wu Sangui tapped his swollen head with his hands and continued to plan.

"In this way, the family members in the capital will have to make proper arrangements." Finally, Wu Sangui muttered to himself.

When Wu Sangui met Zhu Guotai, Sun Kewang, who was far away in Anlong Mansion, Guizhou, also received a letter from Feng Shuangli.

After reading Feng Shuangli's letter, Sun Kewang remained silent for a long time, hesitating in his heart.In fact, Sun Kewang didn't have any good feelings towards Remnant Ming and even Qianming, otherwise he wouldn't follow his adoptive father Zhang Xianzhong to devote himself to overthrowing Qianming.It's just that the Tartars were powerful in the past, and Li Dingguo, the righteous brother, tended to join forces with Remnant Ming.If he disagreed, he would commit suicide in front of him, making himself helpless.Fortunately, the security corps rose rapidly and the general situation of the world changed, so the contact with Remnant slowed down, and Li Dingguo no longer insisted on contacting Remnant.

In fact, Sun Kewang has ambitions and hopes that he can make a big fortune, just like his foster father.How can being a courtier for others be as happy as being an emperor yourself?Of course, Sun Kewang was very clear about how much he had.He has no ambition to rule the world, but only hopes to form his own country in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, and enjoy the emperor's addiction well.But at this moment, Tartar's move was just scratching his itch, and he couldn't help but not let him be tempted.It's just that the matter is so important that you have to find someone to discuss it.So, Sun Kewang had someone recruit Wang Shangli, Wang Ziqi, and He Jiuyi.

When the three arrived, Sun Kewang showed Feng Shuangli's letter to the three of them to read one by one.

After the three watched it, Wang Shangli spoke first.

"My lord, this subordinate hastily asked me, do you have the ambition to calm the world?"

Hearing Wang Shangli's question, Sun Kewang smiled awkwardly, and then said.

"There are many capable people in the world. We have been in the army for nearly [-] years, and we should enjoy the blessings. I can live in peace in several provinces, and pass on the glory and wealth to my descendants. This king is also satisfied."

Hearing Sun Kewang's answer, Wang Shangli sighed inwardly.Although the world is in chaos, it is the time for a good man to gallop across the battlefield, but since the prince has made such a decision, as a subordinate, he can only obey his orders.It's just that he still has some regrets in his heart, and said tentatively.

"Since the prince's aspirations are so, then the conditions of the Tartars may as well be agreed. Since the rise of the security regiment, the general situation of the world has changed. The security regiment has entrenched the five provinces and has divided the territory of the Tartars to pieces. The south of the Yangtze River is still The Tartars only have Guangdong, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Zhejiang, and Fujian. If you are a prince, you can send troops eastward, but once you join forces with the security regiment, the south of the Yangtze River will no longer be owned by the Tartars.”

Seeing that Sun Kewang was still unmoved by his own words, Wang Shangli could only stop this idea and plan for Sun Kewang wholeheartedly.

"Of course, even if the prince does not join forces with the security regiment, the three southwestern provinces must belong to the prince. With the security regiment in the east, the Tartars will not have the energy to attack our Great Western Army. Although the Tartars sent Important ministers Jierhalang, Wu Sangui, Nikan and others came, but in fact they focused on intimidation and defense, and the focus was on the security regiment in Nanjing City. As long as the security regiment is not destroyed, our Daxi Army will be safe."

Hearing this, Sun Kewang was very satisfied, and he looked at Wang Ziqi and He Jiuyi beside him, seeing that they also agreed with Wang Shangli's statement, Sun Kewang made up his mind.

"Okay, then the king agrees to the peace talks with the Tartars."
