Chapter 769 Chaos

Although Zhao Hongcan wanted to agree immediately, he still showed his hesitation in his personality. After careful consideration for the sake of peace, he temporarily found an excuse to suppress the matter. However, Peng Rong didn't know what Zhao Hongcan thought. He could clearly understand Zhao Hongcan's personality. On that day, he found the civil and military officials under Zhao Hongcan, including the admiral Guo Yong, deputy general Fan Qing, chief secretary Chen Qun and other civil and military officials under Zhao Hongcan to say this matter, and immediately received unanimous approval from everyone.

In everyone's opinion, there is no future for following the Song King? Not to mention that the Qing court has long been in danger, and it may not be completely destroyed by the Ming Dynasty that day. In front of the Qing court, not only will it not get any benefits, but it will also offend the Ming Dynasty at its peak. If it fights that day, it will be a life of cannon fodder. This kind of life is really boring.

But once Zhao Hongcan calls himself King Song, it will be different. Not only can everyone take the position of the official position further, but he can also cooperate with Gao Jin's troops to win Yunnan and Guizhou a little more confident. Even on the Ming Dynasty, he can also surrender to the Ming Dynasty in the name of regaining the clothes of the Han people. Even if he cannot truly establish the country, it will be a good result to be the king in the southwest.

In this way, early in the morning of the next day, these people came to Zhao Hongcan to "persuade" them. After Guo Yong saw Zhao Hongcan, he did not say anything, and then he and a few people directly put the frightened Zhao Hongcan directly on the main seat. Then he covered the royal clothes he had got from somewhere on him. Then everyone bowed to Zhao Hongcan together, saying that His Highness, King Song, Qiansui, was so proud that Zhao Hongcan was not prepared at all.

"What are you doing? Do you want to put me on the fire and roast me!" Zhao Hongcan scolded with a complicated expression.

"The prince ascended the throne today, and everyone hopes to return. Please do not refuse, and submit to my Chinese clothes and promote the Han people." Leader Peng Rong shouted loudly. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone shouted in unison that everyone hopes to return, and asked the prince to officially ascend the throne.

Seeing such a situation, Zhao Hongcan had no choice but to agree. Then everyone cheered and showed joy on their faces.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhao Hongcan sighed in his heart. He didn't expect that he had finally come to this point, but he didn't know whether this step would be a disaster or a blessing.

However, after touching the gorgeous royal clothes on his body, Zhao Hongcan felt a little happy. After all, being King Song and being the governor feels very different. Since that's the case, let's act like this.

In this regard, Zhao Hongcan announced that his troops would leave the Qing court from today, change their clothes and flags, proclaim himself King of Song, lead Gui, and be valued at 100,000 troops to restore the Han people's clothes and clothes, respect the Emperor Ming, and lead troops to conquer the Qingyi to restore the Han family.

At the same time, Zhao Hongcan sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, and expressed his respect for the king of Song. In addition, he sent an envoy to Gao Jin to convey to Gao Jin the meaning of the two departments joining forces to attack Yungui.

After doing this, Zhao Hongcan mobilized his troops and acted as if he wanted to attack Guizhou. When the news spread everywhere, everyone was stunned by the sudden change.

"Zhao Hongcan, he... he really rebelled?" A Linga, who had just arrived in Guizhou, felt the sky and earth lingering when he heard the news. He almost stopped. He shook for a while before he fell into the chair.

Bei Henuo sneered: "A Zhongtang, you repeatedly assured me that day that Zhao Hongcan would never rebel, and asked us to cooperate with him and hand over the military and political power of Yunnan and Guizhou. Now that is it, what do you have to say?"

"I...I..." A Ling's face turned red with shame, and could not say a word for a while.

Bei Henuo was right. When A Ling A ran to Kunming to find Bei Henuo, in order to persuade Bei Henuo to respect Zhao Hongcan as the governor of the three provinces, and hand over military and political power to gather strength to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

If Bei Henuo had not been prepared for Zhao Hongcan and had not agreed to this matter from the beginning, and immediately ordered Guizhou not to accept Zhao Hongcan's orders after Zhao Hongcan led his troops to Guizhou, and asked Guizhou Qing army to strictly prevent the Guangxi army, so that Zhao Hongcan could not swallow Guizhou easily for a while, he would probably have been in his hands long ago.

Even when Zhao Hongcan's troops fought with the Qing army in Guizhou, and when both sides regarded it as fire, A Linga still had a glimmer of hope for Zhao Hongcan. He believed that it was his own reason that made Zhao Hongcan escape. Later, he dealt with Zhao Hongcan and the court, making Zhao Hongcan safe and sound in Guangxi. No matter what, he was still kind to Zhao Hongcan, and even proposed to go to Guangxi to meet Zhao Hongcan in person, persuaded him to put the overall situation first, and let Zhao Hongcan and Bei Henuo work together to support the Qing Dynasty.

Fortunately, Bei Henuo did not agree to A Ling's request, but detained him directly in Kunming. Later, he and Bei Henuo entered Guizhou from Yunnan. If A Ling's real run over, it would be like he was throwing himself into the trap. Maybe now his A Ling's head will be sacrificed by Zhao Hongcan.

"Sir, Zhao Hongcan has rebelled now, and his troops are eyeing him. There may be a war coming soon. Please make arrangements early." Liu Yinshu sighed in his heart when he saw Ah Ling's like this, and then spoke.

Liu Yinshu didn't want Bei and Nodo to stimulate A Ling'a. Although A Ling'a had long become an idle person, he had no right in his hands, and he was not disliked by Emperor Jianxing. But after all, A Ling'a was a nobleman of the Qing Dynasty and was once a minister of the study room. It wouldn't be a good thing if A Ling'a was really angry to death.

"It's okay." Bei Henuo smiled coldly: "Don't I know how much Zhao Hongcan has? Just order all departments to take strict precautions. When this governor first raises troops to destroy the thief Gao Jin, then take Zhao Hongcan's head!"

"But sir, I'm afraid that Zhao Hongcan and Gao Jin's two divisions merged with each other." Liu Yinshu said in a serious manner: "During the negotiations between Zunyi, the envoys of both sides had contact with each other again in private. Now Zhao Hongcan suddenly called himself King Song and raised the flag and turned against me. In my opinion, he must have a support. Once the two divisions merged, it would not be easy to deal with them with our army's strength, let alone Zhao Hongcan also surrendered to Jinling. If the Ming army helped, Guizhou might...."

Speaking of this, Liu Yinshu never continued, but Bei Henuo already understood what he meant.

After thinking for a while, Bei Henu nodded slightly and said, "What the old man said is right, you must be careful about this matter. However, according to our governor's opinion, the former is possible, but the latter does not need to worry."

“What sir means…?”

Bei Henuo sneered: "Since Guangzhou was defeated and Guangdong lost, he, Zhao Hongcan, has been in vain with him. The Central Plains have been changing over the years, but Zhao Hongcan has occupied Guangxi until now. Did he not make any moves? In fact, I have guessed that he has a connection with the Ming army, and what he is doing now is probably just An Jinling's intention. But if he really wants to lead the Ming army into Gui, Zhao Hongcan can't do this. Zhao Hongcan can reach this point today, and he is definitely not a wise person. He knows very well in his heart that he claims to be King Song but is not a king. If he hand over the Guangxi foundation, what bargaining chips do he have?"

Speaking of this, Bei Henuo laughed again: "Besides, if he was sincerely trying to join the Ming army, how could he call himself King Song? He led his troops to join the Ming army, and since he called King Song, how could he do such a thing?"

"It's reasonable!" Liu Yinshu nodded in agreement, and immediately smiled.

When Zhao Hongcan's envoy met Gao Jin and expressed his intention to cooperate with the two ministries to win the Yunnan and Guizhou together, Gao Jin did not expect that Zhao Hongcan really invested in it.

This incident was a good thing for Gao Jin. Now Bei Henuo's reinforcements have arrived in Guizhou. The strength of Guizhou Qing army has greatly increased. Moreover, Bei Henuo also showed his determination to attack Gao Jin's troops immediately. Just a few days ago, the Qing army in Guizhou had begun to mobilize troops and test the area controlled by Gao Jin's troops. A small-scale battle had occurred on both sides.

If Gao Jin had a good expectation, the next battle was right in front of him. Although Gao Jin was not afraid of the Qing army, it was a great thing to have an allies help him at this time.

In response, Gao Jin immediately agreed. In order to show his sincerity, he wrote a letter to Zhao Hongcan, and in the letter he called the other party "brother". Not only did he agree to the proposal of cooperation between the two ministries, but he also frankly told Zhao Hongcan that Gao Jin had no idea about Yunnan and Guizhou, and that his ministries were aimed at Myanmar and Annan. As long as Zhao Hongcan promised to help him attack Myanmar and Annan after taking Yunnan and Guizhou, Gao Jin would even follow Zhao Hongcan.

After seeing off the envoy, Gao Jin immediately entered a state of war to deal with the fierce Bei Henuo. Although he agreed to Zhao Hongcan's joint efforts and made corresponding gestures, Gao Jin could not place all his hopes on Zhao Hongcan.

After years of war, he has long understood a truth. Relying on others is never reliable, and only his own strength can be trusted.

Just a few days later, Bei Henuo personally led 50,000 elite troops to attack Gao Jin's troops, and a war between the two sides was about to begin. When the news of the outbreak of the war reached Zhao Hongcan, Zhao Hongcan did not stand by this time. His subordinates also advanced from eastern Guizhou to Guiyang, and the Qing army, who was ready to fight, were also ready for a moment.

Zhao Hongcan's determination this time surprised Bei Henuo, but he still ignored Zhao Hongcan's side for the time being. Facing two opponents, Bei Henuo still decided to solve Gao Jin's troops first and then fight with Zhao Hongcan. In order to ensure that Gao Jin's troops were destroyed as soon as possible, Bei Henuo also asked Sichuan for help, hoping that the Qing army in Sichuan could launch an attack from the side to give the opponent a heavy blow.

At this time, the Qing army in Sichuan was mainly composed of Prince Longkodo and Prince Cheng. Although these two retreated back to Sichuan due to their previous defeat, they were still a general of the Qing Dynasty and had a good vision of judging the situation. After receiving a letter from Bei Henuo, the two immediately discussed and decided to send 15,000 troops, and Prince Cheng led the troops to reinforce Guizhou and pacify Guizhou first. As long as Yunnan and Guizhou can be controlled by the Qing court, this will be beneficial to the current Qing court without any harm.
