Southern Ming, my destiny is too abstract

Chapter 65: The Fake Dragon Dies, the True Dragon Rises

After He Jiuyi left.

Wu Yingqi grinned and said, "That sounds nice, but in the end it's all empty talk."

"The Qing court gave Yunnan and Guizhou to my father because they were already territories of the Dai Qing Dynasty. What does Zhu Cixuan have in return?"

"Let's wait until he conquers Guangxi and Yue, then we can talk about the affairs of Guangxi and Yue."

Wu Yingqi said disdainfully, "This He Jiuyi is not even as good as Jiang Gan."

"The Aisin-Gioro family at least betrothed the eldest princess to my eldest brother, but Zhu Cixuan couldn't even bear to give my daughter from the Wu family a queen."

"What do you mean Zhu and Wu share the world?"

Everyone in the hall agreed.

The prince is usually arrogant and domineering, but he still has a deep insight into things.

No matter how wise and brave Zhu Cixuan was, no one in history had ever been able to regain the lost empire.

Wasn't it true that Yelu Dashi, a great ruler, could only occupy the area around Hezhong?

The reason why Emperor Guangwu of Han was able to rebuild the Han Dynasty was also because of Wang Mang's perverse actions, which made people miss the Han Dynasty.

Although Dai Qing also caused public outrage.

But now is not the time like more than a decade ago when the world was resisting the Qing Dynasty.

Even Wang Fuchen, a rebellious general, became law-abiding.

The Thirteen Families of Kuidong, Zheng Yanping of the Coastal Area, and Zhu Cixuan of Hongsha.

How can we deal with the entire Middle-earth?

Wu Guogui saw that the King of Pingxi seemed to be lost in thought, and he understood the point:

"Your Highness has thought of what Hong Jinglue said."

Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment and nodded slowly.

Hong Jinglüe is Hong Chengchou.

After pacifying Yunnan and Yunnan, he returned to Beijing at the beginning of last year due to eye disease.

Whispered to King Pingxi when leaving.

"We cannot allow Yunnan to remain in solitude for a single day."

To use thieves to gain respect is to use bandits to gain respect.

Wu Sangui has always implemented this strategy.

When the Qing court asked, they said that the chieftains of Yunnan and Guizhou still had ties with the Ming Dynasty and were rebelling.

Originally, they were about to conquer the chieftains of Guizhou and Qian in the second half of last year, but they received a letter from Mangbai, in which they learned that the Ming court had occupied the city of Ava and had transferred its troops to the border.

Wu Guogui hesitated and said, "In fact, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty set an example."

"The Qing court will definitely not reduce the power of the princes, and will definitely provide food and wages to the princes every year."

"Your Highness, you have become powerful in Yunnan and drove Zhu Cixuan to Guangxi and Guangdong."

"If he joins forces with Zheng Yanping and can really gain a foothold there, Your Majesty may choose to choose one of the two."

"Even competing with the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty for the position of the ruler of the world."

Wu Yingqi was a little excited for a moment and looked at his father.

My eldest brother is a hostage in the capital.

Then his father's kingdom will fall into his hands.

Wu Sangui had a calm expression, nodded, and then shook his head.

After thinking for a long time, he slowly said:

"Don't think about things that far in the past. My family has been guarding Yundian for generations and I'm already very satisfied."

"Do you know what I was thinking about when I was in Shanhaiguan?"

"Don't let down the court, don't let down Emperor Chongzhen, and defend Shanhaiguan well."

"Who could have imagined that Li Zicheng would suddenly enter the capital and force Emperor Chongzhen to death? I chose Dorgon over Shunqing."

Wu Sangui looked at his son:

"During the reign of Emperor Ling of Han, Cao Cao never imagined that he would become the King of Wei and that his descendants would usurp the Han Dynasty."

"A person's destiny depends not only on his own efforts but also on the choices made by fate."

"I felt at Shanhaiguan that the destiny was with the Qing Dynasty, and now I still feel that the destiny is not with the Ming Dynasty."

After Wu Sangui finished speaking, he looked at Wu Guogui and others.

"You all know that Zhu Youlang has fled to Hongsha, and the Qing court and the emperor no longer want to spend money and effort to capture and kill him."

"Why do I keep asking the court to send troops, food, and wages to completely annihilate the Yongli court?"

Wu Guogui and others shook their heads.

"I really don't know."

They just thought that King Pingxi wanted money and food and wanted to take the opportunity to expand his own power.

Wu Sangui sighed, "I am old, and Zhu Youlang and Li Dingguo are too young."

"Li Dingguo and Zheng Yanping are no more than forty years old, and I am about to turn fifty."

"I still have the energy to deal with Li Dingguo in ten years."

"When I am old and weak, who among you can defeat Li Dingguo? This is one of the reasons why I treat the old generals of Daxi so well. In another ten years, they will still be in their prime."

"By then, Li Dingguo will still be in his prime, and my Yundian family will most likely be lost."

"That's why I want to kill them all."

Wu Sangui sighed:
"And Zhu Cixuan is even more terrifying at a younger age. If he hadn't died halfway, he would have had a chance to recover the Middle-earth."

"Given ten or twenty years, who in the world can control him?"

"It's just like what he said about the Eight Banners' decline. All of us who founded the Qing Dynasty will die of old age."

"Do you think he will really let my Wu family share the world with his Zhu family?"

Wu Sangui looked at his son, who was getting a little restless because of Wu Guogui's words.
"Not to mention Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, and Guangdong, even Yunnan and Yunnan won't be left to my family."

"So what if she's the empress? Didn't Emperor Guangwu of Han depose Guo Shengtong?"

Everyone in the lobby also woke up.

Zhu Cixuan was not yet twenty years old.

If he were given more than ten years to conquer the world, he might have become Emperor Taizong of Tang.

Instead, they are caught in the middle.

Now that they have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, Dai Qing Gulun, who owns the whole world, can crush them.

After surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cixuan, who had already grown strong, no longer needed them.

"The prince's intention is to go to Hongsha and eliminate the fake emperor, fake prince, and fake king."

Wu Sangui said solemnly: "We must suppress him, we must fight him, and we must strangle Zhu Cixuan in the cradle before he can fully develop his wings."

"But not now. Once the army reaches Sanxuan, it won't be long before summer arrives."

"Wait until autumn, when General Ai Xing'a arrives in Kunming with the elite troops from the capital, and then we'll set out together to achieve our goal in one fell swoop."

Zhu Cixuan is both the heirloom of Wu Hou and the lobbyist of He Jiuyi.

I can't really fall into his evil scheme.

……

Wu Sangui felt that the destiny did not lie with Zhu Cixuan.

But the destiny of history has always been changing.

Just two days later, it was the fifteenth year of the Yongli reign, the eighteenth year of the Shunzhi reign.

In the middle of the first lunar month, Shunzhi died and Kangxi became emperor.

The news reached Kunming, Yunnan.

The public opinion offensive brought about by the Zhuge Stone Stele and the Wuhou Bronze Tripod immediately caused a sensation.

The former generals of Daxi also began to interact with Zhang Zuochen.

The voices among the people hoping that King Pingxi would defect to the Ming and fight against the Qing were growing louder and louder.

Even Wu Yingqi and Wu Guogui hesitated again and again, trying to test the King of Pingxi's attitude.

I thought those antiques were counterfeit by Zhu Cixuan to sow discord.

But now it seems.

It seems to be true.

Wu Yingqi went to temples and Taoist temples to burn incense for three consecutive days.

He even spent a huge amount of money to build a Wuhou Temple.

If the prophecy is not true.

Otherwise Zhu Cixuan would be able to predict the future.

Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty would have someone to support the Qing court in the capital.

And he is an important official of the country.

A minister who could interfere with the life and death of the Qing emperor and was supported by the emperor.

The four great ministers are not qualified enough, so the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang is the one.

Rumors have begun to spread that the reason why Hong Chengchou was so eager to return to Beijing was not because of old age or illness.

But he still had his heart set on the Ming Dynasty and instigated the empress dowager to kill the emperor and establish another emperor.

Why was the third son Xuanye chosen instead of the second son Fuquan?

Because Xuanye's mother, Tonggiya, was a Han Chinese.

Her grandfather Tong Yangzhen was a Ming general in Liaodong.

Emperor Shunzhi was of Manchu and Mongolian descent.

Kangxi Xuanye had more Han blood in his body than Manchu blood.

Oh, you said that Hong Chengchou was one of the most meritorious officials who helped the Qing Dynasty conquer the world, and he would not rebel against the Qing Dynasty.

That means the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty can foresee the future.

Zhu Cixuan could predict the future, but couldn’t the Ming Dynasty be restored?

Oh, it’s not that Zhu Cixuan can predict the future.

In other words, all the relics of Wu Hou are real.

Wu Hou said that the Hu people would not have a hundred years of fortune, and the Rebellion of the Three Feudatories was suppressed and the Western Rebellion began.

Then won’t our King Pingxi really return to the Ming Dynasty?
Right, by comparison.

It would be more acceptable if Hong Chengchou joined forces with his old lover and wanted to give China a Han emperor again before his death.

Rumors are flying around Kunming and beyond.

In the palace of Prince Pingxi.

Wu Sangui was almost pulling out all his hair as he considered whether he should go to the capital to fulfill his duty as a subject and weep and kowtow to Shunzhi.

But in the current situation, the rumors in Yunnan and Dian have probably spread to the capital.

Can he return to Kunming safely?
If a large number of troops were brought back to the capital, Zhu Cixuan and Li Dingguo would probably fight back to Yunnan and Yunnan immediately.

What happened to Hong Chengchou?

He truly cared about the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't even inform me.

I think he and I are old friends in Liaodong.

When he was sad.

The arrival of an Eight Banners general almost scared him to death.

"King Pingxi, are you really going to rebel?"

Shang Shan's shocking words frightened Wu Sangui so much that he fell off his chair.

Wu Sangui said in panic, "Gushan Beizi, why do you say that?"

Shangshan handed over a note.

Wu Sangui took a closer look and became hesitant.

【When the fake dragon dies, the real dragon rises.】

What the hell?

It was Dorgon's two white flags who killed Emperor Shunzhi.

Is it them alone, or joining forces with Hong Chengchou?
Even joined forces with Zhu Cixuan.

So I'm the only one who is kept in the dark?
Shangshan was demoted from Beile to Beizi because soldiers in Yongchang City injured people.

When Doni returned to Beijing, he was demoted from prince to duke because of his uncle Dorgon.

Are the two white flags ready to rebel against Huang Taiji's lineage and take back their own throne for the Qing Dynasty?
When Shangshan saw Wu Sangui's expression, she felt a little regretful for some reason.

"Isn't this arranged by the King of Pingxi?"

Wu Sangui shook his head and asked about the origins.

Shang Shan's mouth twitched. "I was hunting the other day and caught a giant salamander. I cut it open and removed its organs."

"There's this note inside. I thought the King of Pingxi was going to imitate Chen Sheng and Wu Guang from two thousand years ago."

Wu Sangui's teeth ached: "It's definitely not me."

"It must be Zhu Cixuan and those old ministers of the Yongli Emperor who are behind this."

Shang Shan snorted softly: "I am surrounded by people from the Eight Banners, where do these Han people come from?"

"I accidentally discovered this giant salamander in a mountain stream while chasing an elephant."

Shang Shan started shaking his head as he spoke: "Don't worry about where it came from."

"No matter who did it, the two Yellow Flag spies around me have already reported it to the capital."

"King Pingxi, it seems you don't need to go to the capital, and you can't even stay in Kunming."

……

[Antique imitation, Baidi, the relics of Wu Hou you created are confusing people, and the rumors and prophecies in Yunnan and Dian are in chaos.]

[Books hidden in the belly of a fish, Baidi, you have forced Wu Sangui into a desperate situation.]

Zhu Cixuan, who was still working hard in Mubang, saw the prompt on the system panel.

grin.

Ban Lao Tusi has sent news from Kunming.

He himself almost forgot the unofficial history that Kangxi was suspected to be Han Chinese.

Unofficial history is good, wild is good.

More chaos, more chaos.

He can win in the chaos.

Zhu Cixuan shouted, "Drive the stakes deeper, don't let the Dai Qing soldiers knock down the wall in just two or three hits."

"Continue building the wall and surround the Longchuan Xuanfu Division."
