Chapter 434 Qing Jun kills Liu Jun
When the dawn just shone from the clouds, Wu Sangui had woken up.n∈n∈,
The long winter in western Liaoning has not yet ended. The little spring is still wrapped in ice and snow, with only a little grass green, revealing the rapid rest of the winter.
In Guangning City, it has been quite lively these days, and many guests have come.
These guests were invited by Wu Sangui. They rushed from the grasslands in the north to attend the meeting. This morning, they will discuss an important matter in the city.
If these people were his enemies in the past, they would have to fight to the death if they met on the battlefield. But now, they have become his guests.
But Wu Sangui had no choice, all of this was what Liu Junye forced him to this point.
Wu Sangui wanted to be a loyal minister, but Daming didn't want him as a loyal minister. He wanted to be a filial son, but his father didn't want him as a filial son.
During this long winter, the court did not send a grain of grain and a piece of silver dollars to western Liaoning. Tens of thousands of people survived by hunting and fishing. He didn't know how he persisted.
But he couldn't continue like this. The soldiers were very thin and the war horses were no longer possible. The weapons and armor needed to be replenished. If this continues, it will take less than three months for his 100,000 troops to disperse. What else will he use to command these soldiers?
The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. There is a voice that has been reminding him in his heart recently. He is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty is not the original Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has been stolen by Liu Jiye.
He was a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. He wanted to rescue the Ming Dynasty. He hoped that one day, he could wear shining armor, swords, and cross BMWs with his army, and lead his army into the pass, attack Beijing, and rescue the Ming Dynasty from Liu Jiye, a usurper.
At that time, he will become the hero of the world.
Liu Jiye is just a martial artist, but now he holds the world. What he can do is what he can do. We can do it too. My uncle and grandfather's birthday talks to him several times. After all, this is the success, the king will succeed, the enemy will lose, and if they can defeat Liu Jiye, then they will be the heroes of the Ming Dynasty, and they will be the King of Marquis and King of Jin, or even the assistant to rule.
"We have a 100,000 army, we are not afraid of anyone!" Zu Dashou said. He reminded his nephew, "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. When you defeat Liu Jiye, you are a hero, and he will only be a treacherous minister."
However, Wu Sangui knew very well that it would be impossible to defeat Liu Jiye by his uncle's army alone. They were not even full of food now, so how could they fight against Liu Jiye? His brother Wu Sanfeng gave him a suggestion, the other one that made him hesitate for a winter.
"Borrow troops from the Qing Dynasty, and then raise the slogan of Qing Dynasty killing treacherous ministers. Tell the troops to enter the pass, kill Liu Jiye and replace him." At that time, Wu Sanfeng said to him, "We can agree with the Qing Dynasty that after the event is completed, all the places outside the pass will be transferred to the Qing Dynasty."
Such conditions are very attractive. At least now, after considering it for a long time, the Qing Dynasty finally sent people to come. The person sent by the Qing Dynasty was Prince Su Haoge, one of the four auxiliary kings of the Qing Dynasty, the banner owner of Zhenglan Banner. He came braved the cold wind, not just to chat with his former enemies.
In fact, Wu Sangui got detailed information. Haoge did not come alone. A few days ago, Haoge led a unit of 30,000 people all the way from Shengjing. This unit was mainly the soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner, some soldiers of the two yellow Banners, as well as many soldiers of the Haixi tribe and Mongolian tribes, plus their coat slaves, forming an army of 30,000 people.
Now, these 30,000 people are stationed in Liaoyang City on the east bank of the Liao River. Haoge brought his own military camp across the Liao River. The Qing army commander Jiergalang, the commander of the Liao River, welcomed Haoge. Haoge stayed in Jiergalang's castle for several days and came to Guangning City, bringing only 200 troops.
"Haoge came to Guangning City in person and brought only two hundred guards, which is great sincerity." Zu Dashou said to him, "It seems that the Qing people like our plan very much."
Wu Sangui looked up at the gloomy sky. He knew that this was a crucial step. If he took this step, he would have no room for retreat and would have to go to the darkness on this road from then on.
After a while, Wu Sanfeng walked in with a smile on her face.
"The guest has arrived and is having tea in the front hall."
Wu Sangui knew that it was time to make the final decision. When this moment really came, he suddenly realized that the choice was not difficult. He did not hesitate too much, raised his head and said calmly, "Let's go, don't let our guests wait for a long time."
Wu Sangui specially put on the big red python robe that Chongzhen once gave him, tied a jade belt, and put on a black hat.
"Isn't it good to see a guest wearing this outfit?" Wu Sanfeng asked.
"I just want to wear this outfit. We want to borrow Qing soldiers to clear the king's side, not to surrender to the Qing Dynasty." When he said this, he particularly a little more intense tone.
Wu Sangui walked in the front, next to him was his uncle, Zu Dashou and his brother Wu Sanfeng. They came from the backyard to the front hall, where several big men sat in the hall, and two strong warriors stood beside each of them.
None of them wanted to hide their identity at all. Everyone was wearing cotton armor, and a rat tail of money was dragged behind their heads.
"Everyone, forgive Wu for coming late, forgive me for being guilty."
Several big men sitting and drinking tea all looked at him when he appeared.
At this time, a man stood up first.
"Father, cousin."
Wu Sangui's eyes fell on him, and then he realized that the clothes were as beautiful as a man, even his forehead was shaved, and his head was also dragging a rat tail with a piece of money behind him. He was actually his cousin Zu Zerun, whom he hadn't seen for many years.
Then, he found that there were several familiar figures behind Zu Zerun, including Zu Zeqing and Zu Kefa. These were the Zu family's children who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty after the Battle of Dalinghe in Da Nian. However, later Zu Da Shou proposed to return to Jinzhou on the grounds that his wife was in Jinzhou and persuaded him to surrender to Jinzhou for the Qing army. As a result, Zu Da Shou ran back to Jinzhou, he ignored the Qing people again.
Although Zu Dashou was treasonous, the Qing people did not use his son who left him in the Qing camp.
My brothers are so good that they trust these people without doubt and are given important positions.
Now Zu Dashou's eldest son Zu Zerun is Gushan Ezhen of the Zhenghuang Banner of the Qing army among the Eight Banners of Han, and is still the first-class Count. The other Zu family members in the Qing Dynasty also serve as Meile Zhangjing, and are awarded the title of son and male.
This time when Haoge came, he brought all the children of the Zu family.
"Let me introduce it to you. This is my Qing Dynasty's assistant to the government, Prince Heshuosu, and the head of the Zhenglan Banner."
Wu Sangui took a step forward, "The Ming and Qing dynasties are brotherly countries. Now our Ming dynasty is young, and the treacherous ministers steal power and seize power. As the Ming dynasty brotherly country, the Qing Dynasty can come to discuss the major matter of killing treacherous slander in the Qing dynasty. Sangui is very grateful. Please Prince Su first accept the next worship!"
After saying that, Wu Sangui bowed and bowed to Haoge.
Haoge stood up and turned to let the bow sideways, and his face looked kind, "Since the Ming and Qing dynasties are brothers, then I, the Qing dynasty, will naturally do my best at this time."
When Wu Sangui's secret envoy arrived in Shengjing and handed over a secret letter from Wu Sangui to borrow troops, it once caused controversy in Shengjing Qingyan. Many people thought this was Wu Sangui's trick, and some people believed that this was true. However, Wu Sangui had deliberately provoked border provocations before, so the Qing people had no good impression of him.
Especially Daishan, he opposed sending troops at this time.
However, in the end, Dorgon persuaded Haoge, believing that this was a great opportunity to reverse the unfavorable situation of the Qing Dynasty. He took this opportunity to lend troops to Wu Sangui to the title of supporting Wu Sangui and make the civil war in the Southern Dynasties. It is best to challenge this civil war as much as possible. If we can join forces with those who opposed Liu Jiye in the Southern Dynasties, then the Southern Dynasties might fall into endless civil war.
Haoge considered it over and over again and agreed to borrow troops from Wu Sangui and intervened in the civil war in the Ming Dynasty.
Immediately afterwards, Dorgon proposed to let Haoge lead the Qing army to join the war, and he was ordered to be the general and to fully command the army of the Western Expedition. Although Haoge knew that Dorgon's move had the intention to squeeze him out of the center of the Shengjing court, he was originally excluded by Dorgon and Daishan in Shengjing, and he also wanted to leave the capital at this time.
If the war is fought well, he can take advantage of the opportunity to expand his strength well.
In the end, they reached an agreement. Haoge brought the troops of Zhenglan Banner and transferred a lot of two yellow Banner soldiers, plus other tribal soldiers and Han soldiers, and finally gathered 30,000 troops to come.
Wu Sangui asked impatiently, "I wonder if the prince came and brought the official reply from the Qing Dynasty?"
"Of course, after our careful discussion, we finally believe that since the two countries are brotherly countries, our Majesty and His Majesty of the Southern Dynasties are also called brothers. In this case, the Southern Dynasties are now stolen by the treacherous minister Liu Jiye and oppressed the young master. How could our Qing Dynasty ignore it? Fortunately, there were loyal and righteous ministers like Wu Shuai, who could raise the flag of uprising at this critical moment. As the saying goes, seeing loyal ministers, the wind is strong, and we admire Wu Shuai's loyalty and righteousness very much. This time, I came here and led 30,000 troops. They were all willing to fully support Wu Shuai to fight back to Beijing for the sake of the two countries."
"It's great. Thank you for the Qing Dynasty and the Prince. After the matter is completed in the future, Wu will surely guarantee that the Ming Dynasty will donate it to the Qing Dynasty with a place outside the pass to reward it."
"Then let's discuss the specific matters of the strife of war next!"
Wu Sangui didn't expect things to go so well and was in a good mood. He said excitedly, "I have an army of 100,000."
"I brought 30,000 troops, and Prince Zheng still had 30,000 troops. We can draw 50,000 Eight Banners to join the siege." Haoge said.
"The 150,000 coalition forces, Guanning Iron Cavalry and Eight Banners are enough to move forward and sweep the pass."
"Our coalition is called the coalition forces against rebels. The banner it has put forward is to clear the ruthless and eliminate treacherous people, and to protect the young master and kill Liu Jun!"
"Clear the king's side, eliminate the treacherous and slanderous, protect the young master, and kill Liu Jun!" (To be continued.)
