Chapter 823: Failed to capture the tiger, but was injured by the tiger

Yangzhou, the urgent delivery of Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, made Shunzhi, who was unable to cross the river because the navy was locked and unable to cross the river.

Li Guoying reported that Prince Xin Duni led his troops from Guiyang to return from Sichuan and north, and went to Baoning to count less than 20,000 Manchu and Mongolian troops, and half of the armored and armored weapons were discarded, which was a pity.

In addition, Li Guoying sued Doni, saying that King Xin led a large army to rob the military rations that Sichuan Governor Gao Minzhan had hoarded in Chengdu, and then brazenly led troops to wash the city, and took all the children in the city to take gold and silk. Those who could not handle the matter were captured. Gao Minzhan made several attempts to persuade him, and then returned one or two of the Ming Dynasty surrendered generals, and the rest were left unstoppable. This action caused all the generals surrendered in the Ming Dynasty in Sichuan to be indignant. Half of the poor were hungry, half of the killing, half of the children were killed, and half of the children were plundered. There was no such miserable person.

Li Guoying's memorial was finally accompanied by Gao Minzhan's secret report: "The confident king returned to the west, and several cities in Guizhou were destroyed, and all the houses were burned. The soldiers entered Sichuan, and they lashed out the poor day and night to set up wine, food, food and supplies, and handled straw, beans, and horses. They were not rich enough, so they were all killed. They still refused to give away grain, so they searched for grain, and their children, and their children were plundered. Halfway through the journey, the army had no food, so they first snatched the people for food, and then ate the captured children, and then killed the soldiers in the camp to make meat and wax, and the skeletons were placed in the land, with more than 10,000. Under the fierce swords, they did not care about the people, and there were many scholars and gentry to make meat on the anvil, and the people in the Sichuan were all lost!"

"How dare Doni abandon Guizhou without receiving my order!"

Shunzhi was very annoyed. What he was annoyed was that the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers robbed the children of Han people, ate the Han people, killed and ate the surrendered soldiers, and forced the rebellion of the surrendered soldiers, making the Qing Dynasty lose its heart in the southwest. In his opinion, none of these matters was important. What was important was that Doni withdrew his troops without an imperial edict, which was a matter of consideration of the court's laws and regulations as if nothing had happened!

Shunzhi was angry and wanted to issue an order to investigate Doni. Sony and Oboi were shocked and hurriedly advised the master not to worry. Since King Xin had arrived in Baoning, he would probably have an urgent handover. Abandoning land and losing land in the Qing Dynasty was a death sentence. No matter how confused King Xin was, he would not do anything without reason. Therefore, it must be that something happened in the southwest that caused King Xin to withdraw his troops in a hurry. You might as well make a decision after King Xin submitted a memorial.

"What can happen in the southwest? Zhu Youlang has abandoned his country and fled. Could it be that he will fight back?"

Shunzhi was still angry, but he did not insist on investigating and prosecution of Doni. After all, Jidu was killed and Yue Le was captured. Doni was investigated and prosecution again, and the three princes of the Qing Dynasty were defeated. Besides, the Empress Dowager and the whole Manzhou were opposed to the matter. He took great pressure to handle this matter. If he wanted to deal with Doni, the Empress Dowager would definitely not agree. At present, he needed the whole Manzhou to work together to overcome the difficulties, so he must not do anything to stimulate the whole Manzhou.

Sure enough, Doni's urgent delivery arrived the next day. The news received shocked Shunzhi and Sony, because Doni claimed that Wu Sangui took Zhu Youlang back from Myanmar and rebelled against Yi Zhao, so he had to take the Manchu and Mongolian troops to return westward in order to defend Baoning and Hanzhong, preventing the Wu army from entering Sichuan to attack Shaanxi and threatening Guanzhong.

"How could Wu Sangui rebel? I treat him with great kindness from the Wu family, how could he rebel!"

Shunzhi couldn't believe that he didn't believe that Wu Sangui would rebel because he married his sister Jianning to Wu Sangui's son Wu Yingxiong, and promoted Wu Sangui to Prince Pingxi. How could he rebel with all kinds of kindness?

"You guys say, does Wu Sangui really want to rebel against me?"

Shunzhi was furious and smashed the decorations in the house, scaring Sony, Oboi and the military lecturer Maleji kneeled down and didn't dare to move.

After a while, after the master calmed down, Sony said: "There is no Wu Sangui in Sichuan that has rebelled, and the slave thought that it could not be determined that Wu Sangui had rebelled based on this."

Sony was a valuation. After all, it was just a report from King Xin. The comments of King Xin did not say that the Wu army attacked him. Therefore, he believed that King Xin would not want to stay in the southwest anymore, so he was so proud that Wu Sangui had the intention to escape back.

Shunzhi said angrily: "If he had no intention of rebelling, why did he take Zhu Youlang back?"

Sony was stunned and didn't know how to answer. But Oboi said, "I thought Wu Sangui might not really have a rebellious intention. He took Zhu Youlang back, perhaps to wait and see the situation."

"Watch the situation?" Shunzhi snorted coldly, "Why might you say directly that Wu Sangui doesn't care about me and wait for me to be finished, so that he can transform into a hero of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Master, no matter whether Wu Sangui is waiting and watching, holding troops, or having a strong sense of opposition, the court cannot question him at the moment, otherwise he will be forced to rebel. In that case, the Qing Dynasty will face two lines of pressure and it will be difficult to support it."

The person who spoke was Maleji, who was from the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner. He lived in Suwan for generations. His great-grandfather Dabanga came back during the reign of Taizu. In the ninth year of Shunzhi, Maleji was the first in the translation examination for the imperial examination and became the first top scholar in Manchuria. He was very popular with Shunzhi.

"Wu Sangui took Zhu Youlang back and held his own troops. The court kept him to raise a tiger because he was a disaster, but that was only a matter in the future. No one could resist the consequences. However, the Taiping Army in Jiangnan is the current concern. If it is not eliminated in time, it may endanger the country."

After Maleji finished speaking, Oboi immediately agreed, "Maleji was right. The slave believes that considering the security of the country, no matter whether Wu Sangui has a different intention, it is a guess. However, it is a fact that Wu Sangui has heavy troops! In addition to those surrendered soldiers who are not yet included in the organization, the troops that Wu Sangui holds may be beyond the expectations of the court! If he turns against Wu Sangui at this time, it will not be of any benefit to the court!"

"Is Wu Sangui so strong now?" Shunzhi was surprised.

Oboi nodded and said, "I am afraid that there will be no less than 100,000 people. This is just a slave's opinion. Regardless of whether the report from King Xin is true, the court must assume that this matter does not exist. If an edict is issued, it will inevitably intensify the conflict between the court and Wu Sangui. At that time, I will be afraid that the tiger will not be captured and injured by the tiger!"

After hearing this, Sony shook his head and said, "I don't agree with Oboi's statement. Knowing that Wu Sangui has his own troops and does not take measures to suppress it, wouldn't he be even more destroyed by the tiger!"

Oboi retorted: "It is true that Wu Sangui has heavy troops, but he will hold troops and respect himself to compete with the court. That is just a guess. Guess is a guess, how can it be equivalent to the facts?"

Sony said: "Even if the king is just a guess, we cannot let it be natural and must be suppressed. We cannot watch Wu Sangui waiting there. Once the court is unfavorable, wouldn't he raise the anti-flag immediately?"

Maleji said: "With the current strength of the court, he did not succeed in capturing the tiger, but was injured by the tiger. However, if Wu Sangui sent troops to Huguang and let him consume each other with the Ming army, he could not only achieve the effect of quelling the chaos and resist it." After a pause, he said: "I believe that although Zhu Youlang was the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, it was the foundation of rotten wood, and it could be cured without the power of soot. Although Zhou Shixiang and Zhang Huangyan were the last, they were full of vitality. Only by letting Wu Sangui abandon the foundation and seek the last, his strength would be greatly damaged."
