There were Qing troops in Sichuan and Ming troops.

If Wu Sangui returns to the Ming Dynasty anyway, the Ming army in Sichuan will definitely respond to him, even if he is unwilling to obey Wu Sangui, he will also obey the emperor in his hands. Sichuan Governor Gao Minzhan is no match for Wu Sangui at all, and many of his subordinates are left to him by Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui even has confidence that he can persuade the Qing army in Sichuan to surrender and obtain the entire Sichuan in one letter.

The man, Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, had some skills. Unfortunately, before Li Guoying took office, Wu Sangui had been in Baoning and Hanzhong for several years. It was difficult for others to take Hanzhong, but Wu Sangui was easy to take over. When Hanzhong came, the cave in Shaanxi opened, and the Wu army led his troops to Xi'an, and he was as impressed as Li Zicheng back then.

If Wu Sangui didn't know much about the foundation of Manzhou people at the beginning, but he worked for the Qing Dynasty for more than ten years, so what could he hide from him? Wu Sangui now has a very advantageous position. If he had done it properly, perhaps he would be the last straw to crush the Qing Dynasty.

In terms of military affairs, Wu Sangui's direct subordinates to the Guanning Army and the newly surrendered Ming Army, had nearly 150,000 troops, most of them were soldiers who had been fighting for a long time, and they were not short of generals. If Ma Bao and other newly surrendered generals were not short of them, just a few sons-in-law were the first-class talents. Xia Guo Guotu, Guo Guozhu, and Hu Guozhu, any one of them was much stronger than the princes of Manzhou in the Qing Dynasty. As for the staff, which of Hu Shouliang and Fang Xianting was not stronger than Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, who was under Li Chuang back then?

There are generals and soldiers, and the strategic situation is even more advantageous.

Wu Sangui's troops were originally one of the heavy army groups that the Qing court could have. It can be said that the commander of the Qing army in the southwest was Donni in name, but the actual command was Wu Sangui. Donni was young, but the yellow-haired boy, and the other prince Luo Keduo, was also a three-generation manzhou. Wu Sangui was really going to attack, but these two yellow-haired boys could not stop him. The Yunnan-Guizhou Qing army had more than 300,000 nominally, but the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers were only more than 20,000. With ten times the soldiers to fight these 20,000 Manchu and Mongolian soldiers who had no way to retreat, Wu Sangui hesitated, and the chances of victory were ten percent. When the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers were about to be defeated, how could the remaining Green Camp soldiers have the courage to bury the Qing Dynasty? Most of them would gather him under the command of the King of Pangxi and strive to be a hero of the Ming Dynasty to restore the country. What's more, Donni is sick again now, and the 20,000 Manchu and Mongolian soldiers are uncontrollable, which is even more unconcerned.

Hong Chengchou's strategy made Wu Sangui even more tempted, that is, the Shunzhi army has been firmly restrained by the Taiping Army in Jiangsu, Shaanxi and Gansu, Central Plains and Northern Zhili, without troops to defend, and it is extremely empty. As long as he has the courage to do this, the chance of success is at least 60%.

After thinking for a long time, Wu Sangui said: "Ying Xiong is still in Beijing."

Hong Chengchou glanced at him and said lightly: "We must make plans early."

Wu Sangui nodded and said, "I will send someone to welcome Zhu Youlang back soon."

Hong Chengchou reminded him: "Just Zhu Youlang is needed, but the rest are not suitable for Burmese people."

"What does the teacher mean?"

"You ask the Burmese to take action and find an excuse to execute all the officials of the Yongli court, otherwise it would be too troublesome." Hong Chengchou finished speaking, paused and said, "Mu Tianbo must be removed, but Ma Jixiang can be kept. This person flattered Sun Kewang, but later attached to Li Dingguo, and was actually a fence-bearing man, no better than Mu Tianbo and others. If he really wanted to support Zhu Youlang in the future, the court would always have a decoration, and it would be better to use Ma Jixiang."

Wu Sangui agreed that if Hong Chengchou did not need to explain this matter to him, he would definitely do it. No matter whether Wu Sangui really wants to embrace the Ming Dynasty or pretend to be false, he would never want to help all the people in the court who would not be in the same heart as him in the future. If he is criticized by the people of the world, it would be better to solve the trouble from the beginning.

When Hong Chengchou saw Wu Sangui agreeing to the point of being readily, he nodded slightly. This student may not be as good as the thief scholar in other aspects, but his mind is higher than that of the thief scholar. It is reported that the Tang King regime in Guangzhou used many Yongli dynasty officials, but as a result, these people competed for power and profit with the thief scholar and made an incident that could hit the palace gate. Although they were suppressed by the thief scholar, their reputation became very bad, which was quite unworthy of the loss.

Sometimes, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but wonder why the thief scholar would be stupid to ask someone to help him to drag him down. If he were himself, he wouldn't have such trouble. Back then, he was just trying to kill the thief in the Central Plains, and he was decisive in killing and never had the kindness of a woman. Even if he pacified Jiangnan for the Qing court, he would kill the scholars and officials who resisted the Qing Dynasty and never pay attention to any bad reputation. This historical book always succeeded in the king and defeated the enemy. Successful people would never blame anyone.

"Since Zhu Youlang is welcomed, wouldn't the students also join forces with Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan?"

Wu Sangui felt that this matter was a bit tricky. Although it was beneficial to joining forces with Li and Bai, it seemed that the disadvantages were even greater.

Hong Chengchou said that Bai Wenxuan could be kept, but Li Dingguo must be removed, because this person was the King of Jin enthroned by Zhu Youlang, and his military rank in the West had a great influence. If this person was not removed, it would be very unfavorable to Wu Sangui.

"You can secretly take Zhu Youlang back first and send other elite troops to encircle and suppress Li Dingguo. Even if you cannot abandon him, you cannot let him contact Zhu Youlang, let alone let him know about Nanjing."

"Students understand."

Wu Sangui talked about another worry, but if the Shunzhi army was really defeated and the thief scholar asked the King of Tang to ascend the throne in Nanjing, then the emperor Zhu Youlang would be useless.

"We must let Guangzhou know that Zhu Youlang is back." Hong Chengchou pondered slightly and said, "My son engraved some letters from my family, but I have never replied to him. When you take Zhu Youlang back, I will return him to his family."

"Can students send someone Ming to pick it up?"

"No need, if you really understand, he will be the same everywhere."

Hong Chengchou shook his head and told Wu Sangui that after welcoming Zhu Youlang, he would need to choose a secret place on the border to resettle him, and only send his own troops to guard him, so that the news would not leak out. If Doni knew about it, he would not admit it. At this critical moment, even Shunzhi did not dare to question Wu Sangui about this matter.

The next day, Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou went to visit Doni. After treatment, Doni was in a little more spirit, but he said that he had decided to take the Manchu and Mongolian troops back to Guiyang and go to Huguang to take the opportunity to go north and Yunnan. Wu Sangui was responsible for the matter.

Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou looked at each other. They knew that it was a waste to go north to Huguang when they chose the opportunity. Doni probably had the intention to escape back to the north, and he would have to go to Sichuan instead of Huguang in the future.

Not two days after Doni left, news came again, but it was said that the Governor of Huguang, Zhang Changgeng, opened the Wuchang City to surrender to Ming.

Since the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, many princes and governors have been killed and captured in battle, but there has never been any incident of the governor surrendering to the Ming Dynasty. This incident has exacerbated Wu Sangui's desire to return to the Ming Dynasty.
