Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 227 Lu Xiangsheng Humiliated Wu Sangui
Here in Haizhouwei, Mao Wenlong had already ordered people to bring several carts of belongings to Lu Xiangsheng: "Report to Da Sima, we will demolish all thirteen ancestral tombs in Wumen, and all the guardians of the tombs will be wiped out, and the fifteen inscriptions will also be destroyed." We smashed it, and we poured kerosene on the three acres of woodland and burned it to ashes. Now we have looted four boxes of funeral belongings, including four boxes of yellow and white objects, two boxes of various antiques and jades, and seven boxes of various weapons and firearms."

"Pull it into the storeroom and count it carefully," Lu Xiangsheng said before coming down and holding Mao Wenlong's hand: "Your righteous brother has worked hard, brother, I will definitely ask His Majesty for credit for you, but before we do again, we have to do one thing. "

Mao Wenlong hurriedly asked what was the matter, but Lu Xiangsheng smiled without answering, and handed out a letter that had already been written: "Sign your name here, and then send someone who is good at archery to Jinzhou once."

……

Wu Sangui's roar resounded throughout the world, but apart from causing a few thunderclaps, no one told him.

And at this time, Wu Xiang also rushed over, and the whole person was as incredible as Wu Sangui, looking at the rain-washed coffin who didn't even see half of the coffin, and he knelt directly on the muddy ground with blank eyes: " This, what's going on here, who dares to treat our Wu family like this."

Indeed, his Wu family has gradually grown since he took refuge in Zu Dashou's Guanning Army, and now he has become a veritable King of Liaodong, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command. At a time when his Wu family's reputation of being able to repel even the Manchu Tartars was in full swing, someone went deep into the hinterland of his Wu family and dug his family's ancestral grave.

Neither Wu Xiang nor Wu Sangui expected such a thing to happen suddenly. After reburying Wu Sangui's grandfather's skull in the soil, the two braved the heavy rain and walked back in despair.

In the end, the two of them still got the news about the excavation of their ancestor's grave. Although the content of the news was that the Tartars came to dig up his grandfather, Wu Xiang also believed that it was the Tartars who had just repelled the Tartars in Jinzhou. , now the Tartars have the greatest resentment towards the Wu family, but Wu Sangui does not choose to believe this news.

"Father, the Tartars have just experienced setbacks. They are exhausted. When they continue to rest and fight again, how could they quickly send such elites to penetrate into my hinterland, and destroy hundreds of my people in a short period of time? They also demolished my ancestral grave. Moreover, although it is close to the Tatars and far from the Dongjiang soldiers, there are tens of thousands of my elite soldiers on the way to the Tartars. Although it is far away from us, the road from them to us is full of lush grass and leaves due to the arrival of spring and summer, and it is very easy to covertly march."

After Wu Sangui said, he wrote the three characters "Zhu Youxiao" on the three-foot-wide Xuelang paper with a big wolf hair in his hand, and then ruthlessly poked the pen on it: "That's right, it should be Ming Tingqian. Yes, Mao Wenlong has always been good at doing these things with knives behind the scenes, and last time my tens of thousands of acres of newly harvested wheat fields were burned to ashes in an instant, it was related to this person."

Seeing what Wu Sangui said, Wu Xiang was so angry that she also slapped the table: "Since my son said so, why don't you send troops to talk to Mao Wenlong immediately, this king wants to see if Zhu Youxiaonas dares to cover Mao Wenlong, I will now write a memorial to impeach Mao Wenlong and hand it over to the Secretary of the General Administration."

Wu Sangui waved his hand: "Father, there is no need to be like this. I am afraid that your memorial will be intercepted by the Liaodong Jinglue King Zaijin before it reaches the general political envoy. What's more, if the minister's guess is correct, this matter is Zhu Youxiao. It means that even if you come to Zhu Youxiao, it will be an ending of "staying in the middle and not sending out". Mao Wenlong now has Lu Xiangsheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, sitting in charge, and with the full support of the Ministry of War, it is now strong and well-equipped. After a fierce battle with the Tartars just now, it is really inappropriate to start a war again, and I am afraid that if we start a war with Mao Wenlong's tribe, it will give Zhu Youxiao an excuse to join forces with the Tartars to destroy our tribe."

"In that case, we can only bear it. They have dug up our Wu family's ancestral graves!"

Wu Xiang said something sad and indignant, then staggered and sat down.

Wu Sangui also stared at Begonia outside the window like a falcon: "Yes, we can only bear it. When there are [-] soldiers in the future, we will also dig up the ancestral grave of his Zhu family and let Zhu Youxiao see me, Wu Sangui, with his own eyes. How to blow up the mausoleum of the Zhu Family Taizu Emperor!"

Just as Wu Sangui gritted his teeth and vowed to take revenge on Zhu Youxiao, a soldier's voice suddenly came from outside: "Report, someone shot a letter in."

As soon as Wu Sangui heard this, he hurriedly ordered someone to hand over the letter, and Wu Sangui handed it to his father Wu Xiang first.

Wu Xiang didn't know what the content was. Seeing that there was no signature on the letter, she opened the wax seal and read it, but she blushed with anger when she saw it. , and handed the letter to Wu Sangui:

"Look, it's really as you expected, this Lu Xiangsheng is really deceptive and hypocritical, he sent the letter of condolence and sympathy so quickly, and it was mentioned in it that in order to comfort the king, he also sent thirteen The newly painted mahogany coffin allows the king to build a few more burials for his ancestors."

After Wu Sangui read it, he tore up the envelope more thoroughly: "Hmph, Lu Xiangsheng probably knows that we can guess what they did when the weasel gave the rooster a New Year greeting, so he didn't even try to hide it, and directly came to humiliate and ridicule us. It's really disgusting. I'm afraid this is also Zhu Youxiao's instruction, and the reason may be related to the fact that we killed more than a dozen Dongjiang people from him a few days ago!"

Anger turns to anger, hatred turns to hatred, Wu Sangui and Wu Xiang could only bear with it, while Lu Xiangsheng and Mao Wenlong directly gave Zhu Youxiao a request for credit.

Although this move was a bit despicable, it really deterred Wu Xiang's troops, not only took revenge on him, but made him understand that Da Ming didn't dare to fight them but disdained to wrestle with them, and Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang soldiers It also made them have to know that Daming's fighting power is not only the imperial guards but also Dongjiang soldiers, not to mention that a small number of Dongjiang soldiers can go deep into the hinterland and let his ancestral grave be dug. When Wu Sangui was in charge, he had to weigh whether he should go against Daming or not.

Broken teeth can only be swallowed in the stomach, Wu Sangui's current situation can be said to be exactly the same as his feeling in the original history of dedicating Shanhaiguan to serve as a vanguard for the Tartars, but now it is Zhu Youxiao who insults him like this.

Zhu Youxiao also received the papers from Lu Xiangsheng and Mao Wenlong only one month later. Zhu Youxiao did not let the news of the Wu family’s ancestor’s grave being dug be drowned in the long river of time, but let the Daming Daily immediately publicize and discuss it. Let him continue to ferment, let the whole world know Ming's determination to protect the people, and let those dishonest military landlords and real power factions carefully weigh the anger of the court.

Not long after, Zhang Dai, the main writer, wrote the manuscript "The Ancestral Tomb of the Wu Family of the Liao King Was Excavated. Where is the Ancestral Tomb of the Fan Family?" " began to be released, and the discussion about whether the ancestral tombs of these treacherous officials and thieves and the ancestral tombs of traitors and thieves in history were all destroyed, and the destruction of the graves to make land increased the area of ​​cultivated land in the Ming Dynasty also began to ferment.
