Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 306 Wu Sangui's trick (2)

Wu Sangui in history was a controversial figure with complicated thinking and abnormal behavior. Compared with Li Chengdong, he was even worse.

In fact, he is really a complicated person. Although Wu Sangui surrendered to the Tartars and became a traitor, he doesn't have much hatred for Daming, and even has a bit of nostalgia.

After all, he has been a Ming minister for many years, and the Ming court has treated him well these years. He is a high-ranking official with a generous salary, a great official in the frontier, and a heavy army.

Wu Sangui is not a complete ungrateful person, unlike other traitors, whoever has a milk is a mother.

At least at the beginning, Wu Sangui had a bit of integrity, contented and happy, and never forgetting to repay the Ming court.

Before he rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, the court ordered him to fight wherever he wanted.As early as the age of sixteen or seventeen, he guarded Liaodong with his father, Wu Xiang, and uncle Wu Sangui under Yuan Chonghuan. During the Battle of Xingshan, the capital worked hard for the king. Although Wu Sangui wavered, he still did not change his original intention towards Daming. From this, it can be seen that he was loyal to the Ming Dynasty before he surrendered.

To be fair, Wu Sangui was forced to surrender to the Tartars. It was not Daming who persecuted him, but Li Zicheng, a bandit from Daming.

Li Zicheng established the Daxi regime, captured Beijing, forced Emperor Chongzhen to hang himself, and the Ming Dynasty survived in name only.Li Zicheng wanted to surrender Wu Sangui, and Wu Sangui also expressed his willingness to submit to Li Zicheng.But Li Zicheng's general Liu Zongmin has taken over Wu Sangui's concubine, Chen Yuanyuan, and even his wife, so can you expect him to work for you?Wu Sangui is not Fan Wencheng!
So Chongguan became angry, Wu Sangui led the crowd to surrender to the Tartars, opened the door and bowed to the robbers, and took Dorgon into Shanhaiguan. In a fit of anger, Li Zicheng killed dozens of members of his family, men, women and children.

However, what Wu Sangui hated were Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin and other thieves. He did not forget his old kindness to Daming, so that in the end he raised the banner of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty to fight against Emperor Kangxi.

As for the historical fact that he massacred the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty, forced the Burmese king to hand over Emperor Yongli, and executed him, it was just to please the new master and stain his crown with the blood of the Han people and the descendants of the old master.

Or, standing in his position, this can also be said to be a matter of forced helplessness.

Therefore, this time he followed the British Prince Azignan to conquer Daming, also to please his new master, not because he wanted to exterminate the remnants of Daming, so his trip to Luoning this time was far from chasing and killing Li Zicheng in Shanxi and Shaanxi.

Don't seek merit, but seek no faults, don't seek victory, as long as you are undefeated, this was Wu Sangui's mentality at the time.

Therefore, his marching speed was not fast, and after the victory in the battle of Dakuling, the remnants of Zheng Hongkui and Zu Keyong were not ferocious enough.

The reason why he has this kind of mentality is that he has another consideration, that is, if the Tartars are firmly established in the world, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Nanming, these hostile forces are all settled, all the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden, he is Han after all. It will not change, but the Manchu people believe in the right and wrong race, and their hearts must be different.

Jieshi, can he still guarantee that Dai Hualing, the king of Pingxi, will continue to be popular here?Of course there is no guarantee, Wu Sangui would never do such a stupid thing.

How hard it is to work for the boss depends on how much the boss is willing to pay. Wu Sangui is a very pragmatic person.

Emperor Chongzhen named him Marquis of Pingxi, and the Tartars made him King of Pingxi. Although the status of the king was higher than that of the Marquis, the Marquis given to him by Chongzhen was the Marquis of the unification of the Ming Dynasty, and Dorgon gave him the prince of a new regime that had just risen. King, don't talk about unifying the country, I'm afraid not even half of the country.

Although the Tartars occupied Beijing, the flag of the Ming Dynasty did not fall, occupying half of the country south of Jianghuai.There are several new regimes in the remaining half of the country. In addition to the Qing Dynasty, there are Dashun and Daxi, and their strengths cannot be underestimated.

Therefore, the gold content of King Pingxi is far from that of Marquis Pingxi.

Wu Sangui knew it well, of course he would not serve the Tartars as loyally as he did for Emperor Chongzhen, that is to say, he had elements to deal with Dorgon.

Therefore, it is of course different from the hatred army against Li Zicheng. This time, Wu Sangui only sent a 1 horse team to chase down the Ming army symbolically, while he led the main force of more than [-] Qing soldiers as backup and just walked slowly behind.

However, things will not develop according to his plan, and it is impossible for him to be the Pingxi king of the Qing court easily, because now his opponent is not only his enemy Li Zicheng, but also Zhu Yousong.

Of course his nephew Wu Yingguang and general Ma Bao didn't know that deep down in his heart, both of them were the vanguards who were eager to make contributions and show favor to their new masters.

Therefore, the two generals of Wu Sangui pursued and killed the Ming army with sincerity and spared no effort.

However, one is courageous and resourceful, and the other is courageous and resourceful. The two chased and killed Mingjun, and they were not satisfied while chasing, but their performance styles were different.

Now something happened when the Ming army was chasing and killing, Oboi was defeated, and the remnants were in urgent need of rescue.

Wu Sangui was stunned, he knew Oboi's bravery, he charged into battle, commanded thousands of troops, and was invincible.How many people in the world can win Oboi?The Mongolian army, the North Korean army, the Ming army, more precisely the Chongzhen army, and Li Zicheng and other thieves, who can match Oboi?

However, he was defeated by Zhu Yousong. No matter who Zhu Yousong was, Wu Sangui, who was once an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, certainly had the bottom line.The old Fu Wang was corrupt, the little Fu Wang was unbearable, and he was addicted to wine and sex, how could such a stupid emperor command thousands of troops to defeat the number one warrior in Manchuria?

Previously, Wu Sangui didn't believe it at all when he heard that Zhu Yousong's imperial conquest had defeated the two princes of the Qing court, Zuo Liangyu and his son and Nikanboluo, but now he believed it.

In their eyes, Zhu Yousong, who was so unbearable, did such a thing, Wu Sangui couldn't calm down anymore, he decided that he should re-examine such an opponent from now on.

But of course he, Wu Sangui, would not worry about those Tartars who were trapped in the mountains and were in danger.Ao Bai disobeyed Azig's orders and went out on his own. Whether he won or lost, whether he died or lived was his business, and it had nothing to do with him as King Pingxi.

But if he sits idly by, King Pingxi, and refuses to save him, then it has something to do with him, and he has to find a way to save him.

But Wu Yingguang, his nephew, went to loot the village and hadn't returned yet. Wu Sangui was furious, and shouted at Da Mabao: "Take my king's command arrow, put that animal in the detention center, and bring it before my king."

Ma Bao promised to take Wu Sangui's command arrow all over his body, and led a Qing army Qingqi to the village in front of him on galloping horses.
