Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 465
After the Ming army in Phi Island landed in Dengzhou, it immediately set off a whirlwind.

Dengzhou Prefecture and Laizhou Prefecture immediately changed their banners and became the territory of Ming Dynasty.

Qingzhou, between Jinan and Laizhou, has become the top priority.

Wu Sangui became embarrassed.

He didn't know the strength of the Ming army. If there were too many soldiers and horses sent, Jinan would be in danger, but if there were too few troops, there would be no return.

At this moment, the envoy of the Ming court once again ushered in the temporary mansion.

"Honour?"

Wu Sangui murmured, his expression was calm, his eyes were as calm as water, making it impossible to see through his thoughts.

"This time there is a little sincerity!"

On the side, Fang Yichen showed a slight smile, but looking at Wu Sangui's face, he was eager to know his choice.

"Although he is a marquis, does the king still think about the former king of Bohai County?"

Fang Yichen shook his head and said, "This time, that time."

In the 300 years of the Kingdom, there has never been a person of the opposite sex who was crowned king in front of him, and basically all of them belonged to posthumous titles.

Such as Zhongshan Wang Xuda, Qianning Wang Muying and so on.

However, the Manchu Dynasty was much more generous, or in other words, its princes were not worth much. Beizi, Baylor, and princes were all caught in the Manchu Dynasty.

Therefore, Kong Youde and others were crowned kings as soon as they came, and Wu Sangui's county king also came down happily.

(To mention one thing, Dorgon did not proclaim him a prince, but used Wu Yingxiong's engagement to the princess as a show of gratitude.)
Before, when Emperor Shaowu threw out the King of Bohai County, Wu Sangui realized that he was not sincere.

Typical wanting to unload the grind and kill the donkey!

Wu Sangui was caught in a tangle: "Mr. Fang, Ying Xiong and Ying Qi are still in Beijing!"

"Why does a man suffer from childlessness?"

Fang Yichen frowned and said: "Now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is over, and the great Ming revival is just around the corner, Your Majesty must not be entangled in minor details, you must put yourself first."

Wu Sangui shook his head when he heard the words.

Fang Yichen didn't understand his mood.

The massacre of Li Zicheng back then almost slaughtered his whole family, if it happened again, it would really be the end of the calf.

After struggling for a long time, Wu Sangui finally said: "Doesn't it mean that the Jinyiwei in the court are powerful? The Yuyuan Army in Caozhou was instigated by them, so let them transfer my family out first."

"Your Majesty's family is all in Beijing, so it's hard to be seen seriously!"

Fang Yichen shook his head, it was wishful thinking under such circumstances.

I also know about the Pingxi Palace, but there are so many checkpoints along the way in the inner city, out of the inner city and the outer city, it is impossible to leave safely.

Even if the Manchu Qing fell into a disadvantage, it is impossible to control Beijing.

You must know that since the entry of the customs, hundreds of thousands of people have moved in from the Eight Banners outside the customs, which has already accounted for half of the population of Beijing.

"So-and-so is 35 years old—"

Wu Sangui raised his head, with a different kind of brilliance in his black eyes.

"I understand."

Fang Yichen understood.

In this thirty-year-old era, there are quite a few people who have grandchildren at the age of 35, and they can call themselves old men.

He turned around and paced.

After measuring the whole room several times, Fang Yichen raised his head, his eyes were full of light: "Your Majesty can fake death."

"suspended animation?"

Wu Sangui was taken aback.

"As long as the Qing court thinks you are dead, your family members will not be held accountable, and the monitoring will certainly be lax."

Fang Yichen said to himself: "And after taking Jinan, the Ming army will inevitably go north to the capital. Taking advantage of the chaos, it should be feasible to transfer the family members out."

"Okay! But it's not okay to die too quickly, we have to discuss it first."

Wu Sangui responded loudly, and swung his strong arm down fiercely: "I have been loyal and good for generations, and I have finally returned."

On the fourth day of July, in Jinan, Pingxi Prince's Mansion suddenly heard the news that Pingxi King Wu Sangui was dying.

For a while, people in Jinan were in turmoil. The governor Ding Wensheng, the chief envoy Shao Mingshi and others all came to visit.

On the bed, Wu Sangui's face turned black, he coughed continuously, and spit out a mouthful of black blood from time to time. The huge room smelled strongly of herbs.

"How is this going?"

Ding Wensheng's cheeks twitched, his eyes were extremely dilated, and he looked extraordinarily angry.

At this critical moment, Wu Sangui actually looked like this, for Jinan, it can be said that the world has collapsed.

The Guan Ning army is the pillar, how can we fight without Wu Sangui?

"Fuxian, King Pingxi is poisoned—"

The doctor shook his head, his face was ugly: "I think the food was poisoned, thanks to the timely spit out, I saved my life, it's just..."

"The Ming army is so vicious, can King Pingxi still get up?"

Seeing the doctor's appearance, Ding Wensheng asked eagerly.

"Look at fate!"

The doctor sighed: "It hurts the lungs, so I can only spend the day on the bed."

"vomit--"

Suddenly, Wu Sangui retched, and there was an unpleasant smell in the room.

Ding Wensheng left with a look of displeasure: "Go, find a few more famous doctors, and we must cure King Pingxi."

The doctors came over one by one, and after being warmly greeted by the family members, they shook their heads one by one: "There is no cure, prepare to collect the body!"

Ding Wensheng had no choice but to report to the imperial court, asking for reinforcements, and encouraged and supported Jinan Mansion.

Three days later, Wu Sangui and Li Jizu communicated with each other, and after deciding on a plan, they died in a blink of an eye.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Ding Wensheng personally brought wine and meat to appease Guan Ningjun. Although Wu Sangui is no longer with him, he still has to work hard.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the barracks, he was immediately detained by General Wu Guogui.

"Do you want to rebel?"

Ding Wensheng said angrily.

"Nonsense, you plotted against King Pingxi in order to control Guan Ning's army. I want to avenge King Pingxi."

Wu Guogui yelled loudly, and immediately set off a wave in the army. Many of Wu Sangui's family members, or relatives and friends, stepped forward one after another, filled with righteous indignation.

"It's the Ming army—"

Ding Wensheng was so angry that he opened his mouth to explain, but in the end his mouth was gagged, he couldn't say anything, and he was tied tightly.

Wu Guogui and other generals of the Guan Ning Army had known about Wu Sangui's plan for a long time, so they were relieved, and immediately asked people to change into their clothes, and carried the governor's ceremonial car into the city.

Sure enough, Jinan City was defenseless.

After the city gate was seized, Guan Ning's army filed in and took down Jinan City in an instant.

And the thousands of Eight Banners soldiers in the city, even though they resisted, were still unable to hold their arms against their thighs, and were completely killed.

Those green battalion soldiers surrendered tactfully.

Li Jizu led the Ming army and entered Jinan city mightily.

It can be said that Shandong has changed its flag.

For the safety of his family, Wu Sangui could only continue to feign his death and change his face to lead the army.

"The general has returned to Daming, congratulations!"

Li Jizu cupped his hands, showing a gratified smile.

"Thank you for making it perfect."

Wu Sangui smiled wryly and said: "I made a mistake in Shanhaiguan back then, it can be said that I made a wrong step, and now I can turn around, it's really a great grace of the emperor—"
