At the end of Ming Dynasty: I, Sun Kewang!Desperate comeback!

Chapter 236 It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs

"My lord, now we have no choice but to withdraw for the sake of the Qing Dynasty. There is no food in Guizhou. Moreover, if Wu Sangui knows about Baoqing's defeat, I am afraid that this duplicitous villain will definitely take the opportunity to take action when he sees that the situation in the Qing Dynasty is unfavorable to me!" Luo Tuo said solemnly.

Wu Sangui has always been feared by the Qing Dynasty, but now the Battle of Baoqing has been defeated miserably.

If he sees an opportunity and raises his troops to rebel, not only the tens of thousands of tigers and wolves under his command, Duni, will be unable to resist.

And the Green Camp soldiers in Guizhou are bound to respond in droves.

Once the situation becomes like this, I am afraid that the last more than 10,000 Manchu and Mongolian descendants will be buried in Guizhou!

"Wu Sangui!" Donnie was shocked again.

Wu Sangui himself is powerful and has high prestige in the Green Camp.

Li Benzhen, Zheng Jiaolin and others only followed his lead.

Once he took the opportunity to rebel, Hong Chengchou would help him.

I'm afraid that my more than 10,000 Manchu and Mongolian disciples will become truly alone in the southwest!

"Let's go! Let's go now! We can't lose these more than 10,000 Manchu and Mongolian disciples again!" Donnie gritted his teeth.

Now even if he leads his troops back north, he will not end up well, but he will retain his last bit of vitality for the Qing Dynasty.

Maybe it can keep the whole family small.

After all, the internal fighting in the Qing Dynasty still has its limits, even though Shunzhi hated the three Dorgon brothers deeply.

But there was no annihilation of the clan. They were all descendants of Taizu, and there was no way to kill the nine clans.

Having lost so many Manchu and Mongolian disciples, I have no way out. Now I can only find a way to let the Qing Dynasty see my hard work.

Take the last 10,000 Manchu and Mongolian children out of Yunnan and Guizhou, hoping to keep their families small.

"Let's go! We must leave immediately!" Luo Keduo also said.

Now they are trapped between Wu Sangui and Sun Kewang, and there is no food in Guizhou. What else can they do if they don't leave.

"Quickly send an order for the green battalions to follow the army and quickly go to Chongqing to let Li Guoying prepare food, grass and ships. I hope the last more than 10,000 Manchu and Mongolian disciples can return to Beijing safely!" Donnie spoke slowly, with a look of decadence on his face.

The generals of the Eight Banners were also in low spirits. Among the twelve capitals, Li Guohan died of illness, and Shalibu, Zu Zerun, and Jixiha died in Mopan Mountain.

Zhao Butai, Bashan, Zhuo Luo, Erzin and Ming Andali died in Baoqing.

Now only three people, Lotto, Ild and Orosechen, remain.

Most of the remaining deputy commanders, counselors, and assistant leaders were also gone.

How could the generals of the Eight Banners be happy in such a situation?

Dorney and others returned to Guizhou with the defeated troops in May and did not stop there. They immediately headed north to try to return to Beijing.

This news was quickly learned by Wu Sangui.

In Kunming city, Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou, Hu Guozhu, Xia Guoxiang, Wu Guogui, Guo Zhuangtu and others gathered together.

"Everyone, I have received information that Duni suffered a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Baoqing! Now this man has taken Lu with the remaining Manchu and Mongolian troops and prepared to retreat northward!"

"Li Benzhen, Zheng Jiaolin and others have already sent a message, asking me what should I do?"

Wu Sangui said in a deep voice: "What do you think this king should do?"

"Father-in-law, it goes without saying! The Manchu Tatars are no longer good. Do we, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, continue to grow their braids and serve as their slaves?"

"It would be fine if they were powerful, but now, hehe! Of course, they will raise their troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty, so that the whole world can see our majesty!"

Wu Sangui's son-in-law Hu Guozhu was the first to speak, and his words were impatient.

This Wu Fan figure who had always wanted to rebel against the Qing Dynasty sensed the opportunity and spoke quickly, fearing that his father-in-law would hesitate.

"Yes! Old Hu is right." General Wu Guogui said:

"Now that Sun Kewang has defeated Dhoni, his next step must be to go down the river and capture Nanjing!"

"And Zheng Chenggong has already been ready to make a move on Nanjing."

"Now that the main force of the Manchus has been destroyed and the Battle of Baoqing was defeated, Dorni is left with only tens of thousands of defeated soldiers trapped in Guizhou."

"It's difficult to even protect ourselves and return north, so how can we stop Sun Zheng's offensive?"

"My subordinates assert that Nanjing will surely fall within a few months!"

"When the Manchu Qing Dynasty declines, the Han people in the world will surely take action!"

"If our army does not raise the flag of righteousness, we may be buried with the Manchus in the end!"

"The only way for the prince to raise the banner of justice, collect all the troops in the southwest, then attack Hanzhong, seize Shaanxi and Gansu, and build the momentum of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and then go east to Beijing to worship the emperor's mausoleum, grasp the righteousness of the world, and then unify the world is our Wu Fan's goal Way out!”

As soon as this statement came out, many people in Wu Fan applauded.

Among Wu Fan, Wu Guogui has always had a good strategic vision.

The strategy that Sun Kewang and Li Laiheng are now preparing to implement was planned by him with great pains.

It's a pity that Wu Fan did not have the courage to fight to the death, and Wu Guogui's plan eventually failed.

Hong Chengchou also glanced at the young Wu clan member in front of him and couldn't help but nodded.

"Uncle, the teacher is old and may leave one day, but with the help of the nobles of the country, you will definitely achieve great things." Hong Chengchou said, stroking his beard and smiling.

"Teacher, what are you talking about? You are still in good health and it is not a problem to live to be a hundred years old." Wu Sangui said quickly.

"Haha, eldest uncle, I know the teacher's body best. If I can rest, I might be able to live for a few more days."

Hong Chengchou sighed and said: "It's a pity that the Qing Dynasty has no destiny. Even if I train 100,000 elite soldiers in Huguang and work hard to capture Yunnan for them, in the end they will not have this blessing."

"Now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is no longer able to unify the world, the teacher can only use his last strength to help Changbo seize Shaanxi and Gansu, enter Beijing first, and unify the world."

"I just hope that after my death, Chang Boqian can leave a good name for me in the history books."

"Teacher, what are you talking about? The imperial court has named you the King of Xinghua. We, master and disciple, have been working hard for more than ten years, and we will finally be able to rebuild China."

"Why should we deliberately keep our reputation in history books?" Wu Sangui said seriously.

In order to instigate rebellion against Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou, the Yongli court once decreed that Wu Sangui should be named King of Hanzhong and Hong Chengchou should be named King of Xinghua.

As far as the situation in the Yongli court is concerned, don't talk about the mere two-character king.

Even the emperors Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou did not dare to take the position.

But now it’s better, we can’t survive in the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, the title of King of Xinghua, Hong Chengchou, had to be confirmed. As for the King of Hanzhong, Wu Sangui felt that it was not enough. He had to be at least one-character king to be worthy of him!

After all, he was the two-character king before the rebellion against the Qing Dynasty, and he was still the two-character king after the rebellion against the Qing Dynasty.

If this is the case, wouldn’t Wu Sangui’s rebellion against the Qing Dynasty be in vain?

As soon as this statement came out, all the civil servants and generals of Wu Fan were overjoyed.

My leadership has always been cautious and cautious, and I am content with being a little rich.

If leaders are unwilling to make progress, how can they make progress?

Well now, it seems that my leader has enlightened and wants to be the emperor!

"Your Majesty, please be the vanguard. I am willing to lead 10,000 cavalry to go straight day and night to Guiyang to collect Duni's head and offer it to my tent! In order to help us, Wu Fan, fight against the Qing Dynasty!" Hu Guozhu saw that Wu Sangui's words already contained anti-Qing thoughts. He quickly raised his hands and said.

"No, no, no! Although I am determined to fight against the Qing Dynasty, Ying Xiong is still in Beijing and has not returned yet."

"Yongli is also in Myanmar and hasn't returned to China yet. I decided to postpone it for a few months."

"After Lu Xia receives the Xiong family and Yong Li returns home, raise the flag of righteousness again!" Wu Sangui said.

"Ah——!" A group of jackals, tigers and leopards were dumbfounded.

This rebellion can be delayed again and again. "Ahem!" Hong Chengchou coughed twice and was almost shocked by his disciple.

"Uncle, Beijing is thousands of miles away from Kunming. I'm afraid the prince's family won't be able to come back."

As soon as these words came out, many people in Wu Fan nodded.

How could such a great cause as resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty stop because of a son?

What's more, this son is not as good as theirs.

It's just that it's hard for them to say this because they are Wu Sangui's subordinates.

But Hong Chengchou was different. He was a very senior man, so Wu Sangui had to sell his face.

"Father, let's raise our troops first." Wu Yingqi, Wu Sangui's second son, said.

"How presumptuous! Do you want your eldest brother to die?" Wu Sangui became furious upon hearing this, pointed at Wu Yingqi's nose and cursed.

The life or death of the eldest son of the old Wu family is uncertain, and the second son is impatient to raise troops. What is this?

"Father, that's not what I meant." Wu Yingqi waved his hands quickly.

Wu Yingqi is a fierce general, but it's a pity that he is missing a muscle in his brain, so he often does some shocking things.

In history, after Wu Fan revolted, Wu Yingqi took control of Yuezhou and controlled Hunan's key points.

In order to defend Yuezhou, Liu Xuanchu and other civil servants and counselors tried their best to transport grain and grass to Yuezhou.

This caused a mountain of grain and grass to accumulate in Yuezhou City, which could last for three years, and grain prices plummeted.

Wu Yingqi saw that the price of food in the areas occupied by the Qing army reached more than three taels, while in Yuezhou, it only cost a few cents.

So he vigorously carried out smuggling and sold most of Yuezhou's military rations.

As a result, after the Qing army seized the water control rights of Dongting Lake, Yuezhou's grain road was cut off.

Wu Yingqi had no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside, so he had to lead his troops to break out.

Yuezhou, which Wu Jun had defended for six years, fell into the hands of the Qing army. The door to the north of Changsha was opened wide, marking the beginning of Hunan's disastrous defeat.

Now in front of Wu Sangui, he was the first to immediately raise troops regardless of Wu Yingxiong's safety request.

How can this keep Wu Sangui from being angry?

"Damn it! I'm not dead yet! You just wish your eldest brother would die!" Wu Sangui became angrier as he thought about it.

Suddenly, he pulled out his sword and tried to slash his second son.

In an instant, Wu Guogui and others were stunned.

Wu Yingqi was scared to death, but Wu Sangui's sword fell slower and slower.

Seeing that no one came to stop him for a moment, Wu Sangui suddenly turned pale.

He is just showing off, he has to care about his own son, the eldest brother is like this, and the second child is like that too.

The palms and backs of the hands were all made of flesh, how could he be willing to kill them with one knife?

The reason why he behaved like this was that he was really angry.

Secondly, he also knew that if he repeatedly postponed the date of raising troops and wanted to rescue the boss, he would inevitably be blocked by his subordinates.

It was just a good time to take action on his second son to scare the monkeys.

In order to save the boss, he even dared to kill the second child.

How dare your subordinates object?

But Wu Sangui could never have imagined that after he drew his sword, his close followers would be stunned.

There was no one to stop Wu Sangui from stepping down. If he didn't cut it off, he would lose face!

"You traitor, you will die!" Wu Sangui shouted, trying to remind his cronies.

If no one stops me from doing this, I will have to choose between losing face and having my son stabbed!

Hu Guozhu reacted upon seeing this and immediately hugged Wu Sangui.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"

"Let me go, I have to kill this little beast today!"

For a time, other important officials of Wu Fan also reacted and began to persuade him.

"Your Majesty, the second prince doesn't mean this!"

"Your Majesty, the second prince said something wrong, please don't take it to heart."

Xia Guoxiang, Wu Guogui and others all spoke out to persuade Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui saw that he had stepped down, and the effect of using his son to establish authority had been achieved, and he was about to open his mouth to end the matter.

However, a sound was like thunder, exploding in everyone's ears.

"My father actually wants to kill me! My father actually wants to kill me! My father actually wants to kill me!"

Wu Yingqi was horrified, and then his face turned red, and his temper suddenly broke.

"Father! That's not what I meant. A tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds! Why do you want to kill me!"

Before he finished speaking, Wu Yingqi's eyes turned red.

His father always valued his eldest son. Even if Wu Yingxiong went to Beijing, his father would talk about him all the time.

And no matter how he behaves, he is not as good as his eldest brother in the eyes of his father.

The taste and disparity made Wu Yingqi secretly cry many times.

Wu Sangui actually had no choice. The eldest son had been under house arrest in Beijing since he was a child and had paid too much for the Wu family.

If he didn't suppress the second child, I'm afraid Wu Yingqi would have evil thoughts in his heart.

It is impossible for him to inherit the family business. It would be too unfair to the boss.

But his daily suppression made Wu Yingqi feel bitter.

Now I see my father actually trying to kill me for the sake of my boss.

The emotions in Wu Yingqi's heart burst out in full force.

"Come on!" Another thunder sounded.

Wu Yingqi roared hysterically, like an angry lion, and instantly stunned everyone.

I saw him grabbing his clothes and exposing his chest.

"Come on, don't you want to kill me? Cut here! I'm not alive!" Wu Yingqi cried loudly, puffed out his chest and went straight to Wu Sangui's sword.

Years of grievance caused Wu Yingqi's already missing brain to stop functioning, completely replaced by emotions.

"Normally you only know how good your eldest brother is! No matter what I do, I am not as good as your eldest brother. Now I just said casually that you are going to kill me!"

Wu Yingqi cried loudly: "Father! You are too partial. Since you look down on the child, the child will not live today!"

Wu Sangui's eyes widened for a moment, and his heart was shaken.

Seeing that Wu Yingqi had other emotions besides anger in his heart.

Have you been too cruel to your second child?

But a bowl of water can completely level the playing field, especially since Old Wu’s family has a great business.

Ying Xiong was under house arrest, and if Ying Qi stayed by his side and didn't suppress him and let him gain power, how could he be worthy of his boss?

If he was suppressed, wouldn't he be wronged?

It's hard for an upright official to deal with household chores. It's hard! Wu Sangui is really difficult!
