Tang Tong and Bai Guangen suddenly became anxious: "The two countries are at war and we haven't killed the envoys yet."
"Two countries? Bah!" Wu Sangui spat, "Does a trespasser deserve to be compared with me, the Ming Dynasty?"
Tang Tongtong: "Brother Chang Bo, those who understand current affairs are heroes. It is the general trend that Dashun will replace Ming Dynasty."
Bai Guangen also shouted: "Brother Chang Bo, the capital has fallen, Chongzhen has been driven into the depths of Yanshan Mountain by our Dashun army, the Ming Dynasty has died, you can't afford to be buried in a ruined dynasty, let alone the Lord.
Brother Chang Bo has offered you generous terms. As long as you are willing to surrender, you will still hold the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Army, and you will still be Ping Xibo."
"The holy driver has entered Yanshan?" Wu Sangui's expression changed slightly.
Of course Wu Sangui didn't really want to kill Tang Tong and Bai Guangen.
If he really wanted to kill people, he would not have seen them at all and would have killed them immediately.
Wu Sangui did this just for show, to show that he was still "loyal" to the Ming Dynasty. As a result, Li Zicheng had to continue to increase the price to recruit him.
To put it bluntly, it's just a little bargaining trick.
"It is absolutely impossible for this town to surrender and rebel." Wu Sangui said sternly, "But because you and I have been together for a while, and you have provided me with the whereabouts of the Holy Driver, I will spare your lives today.
, but next time I see you, I have killed both of you, so get out of here now!"
Tang Tong and Bai Guangen did not dare to stay for a long time, so they left the camp in despair.
Fang Guangchen smiled and said: "The intruder wants to recruit my brother for only a small profit. He is looking down on him."
General Wu Guogui also said: "If the intruders are really sincere, let me still lead the Guan Ning Army and control Ji Town. Anyway, we 200,000 Liao people only recognize me."
Wu Guogui undoubtedly spoke Wu Sangui's thoughts.
For Wu Sangui, it didn't matter whether he was a minister of the Ming Dynasty or a minister of Dashun. He didn't care about the second ministers. All he cared about was the military power in his hands.
It is okay to surrender to the Dashun Dynasty, but he must be allowed to guard Ji Town.
Wu Sangui wanted to be the governor of Jiliao, and the mere district commander-in-chief or admiral could no longer satisfy his appetite.
Guan Ning's 40,000 cavalry and Shanhaiguan's 10,000 elite troops must still be under his command. As long as these two conditions are met, he can change the court today.
But this cannot be said clearly.
At that moment, Wu Sangui shouted: "Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Wu Guogui didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "The general is just talking casually, uncle, don't care."
"Be careful when disaster comes from your mouth." Wu Sangui snorted and said, "Get out of here quickly. By the way, help me call Zuoying guerrilla Hu Xinshui. I have something to do with him."
Wu Guogui responded, turned around and left.
Fang Guangchen's eyes flashed and he asked: "Brother, do you want to welcome the Holy Master back?"
"Dear brother, do you think this is appropriate?" Wu Sangui looked at Fang Guangchen, his eyes as deep as an endless abyss.
"That's right." Fang Guangchen smiled brilliantly and said, "No matter what, my brother is still Uncle Ping Xibo of the Ming Dynasty. It is your duty to protect the Holy Master."
There was something in Fang Guangchen's words, but Wu Sangui could understand.
After a while, Zuoying guerrilla Hu Xinshui strode into the camp.
Hu Xinshui is a Mongolian, to be precise, a Mongolian who defected, or to be more precise, a Chahar Mongolian, a direct descendant of the Jin family. After Chahar Mongolia was annexed by Hou Jin, most of the direct descendants of the Jin family were killed.
, some fled west to Junggar, and some moved south to settle in western Liaoning.
Historical records record that Zu Dashou once had three thousand Yiding under his command, all of whom were warriors recruited from the Mongols who moved south.
However, Zu Dashou's three thousand barbarians and one thousand cavalry followed Zu Kuan and Zu Dale into the pass to suppress the bandits, but they were beaten to ashes by the Dashun army. There were another thousand cavalry who followed Zu Dashou and surrendered to become slaves. They have been compiled
After entering Wuzhen Chaoha, the last thousand cavalry followed Wu Sangui from beginning to end, which was the Zuoying servants led by Hu Xinshui.
It should be noted in particular that this servant is not that servant.
The servants of warlords in the late Ming Dynasty are more appropriately called sudden soldiers, or they can also be called mercenaries. They are not the kind of domestic slaves who have a personal dependence relationship with the master of the family.
For example, Zu Kuan and Zu Dale were both Zu Dashou's servants, but the relationship between them and Zu Dashou was not that of a slave and the owner of the family, but an employment relationship between a soldier and his employer. Later, the Ming Dynasty became Zu Dashou's servant.
The employers of Kuan and Zu Dale, they and a thousand Yiding under their command turned to fight for the imperial court.
"Uncle." Hu Xinshui crossed her chest in greeting and asked angrily, "Are you looking for me?"
"No courtesy." Wu Sangui raised his hands and said, "Old Hu, your hometown is in Chahar Mongolia, right?"
"Why did my uncle suddenly ask this?" Hu Xinshui said with some surprise, "The last general's hometown is in Chahar, but he has moved to western Liaoning for more than 20 years, and he is already a Ming Dynasty native."
"I'm not doubting you." Wu Sangui waved his hand and said, "I just want to ask you, are you familiar with the terrain of Yanshan Mountain?"
"I am familiar with the terrain of Yanshan Mountain," Hu Xinshui said, "After all, Chahar Mongolia is at the northern foot of Yanshan Mountain. When I was a child, I often followed my father and brother into the mountains for hunting. I know no less than ten paths that can bypass the Great Wall."
Speaking of this, Hu Xinshui's eyes narrowed and asked: "Do you want to use troops against Chahar Mongolia?"
"Use soldiers? Use crappy soldiers." Wu Sangui said angrily, "Now our Ming Dynasty is besieged on all sides and is in a precarious situation. How can we use troops against Chahar Mongolia?"
Hu Xinshui said: "Uncle, what do you mean?"
Wu Sangui said: "That's what happened. The capital has fallen, and the Holy Master has also hunted north into Yanshan. If nothing else happens, the bandits must have followed into the mountain to start a hunt. So I ordered you to lead a thousand Yiding into Yanshan urgently."
Guard, listen carefully, you must find the Holy Driver before the bandits and welcome him back to Yongping."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hu Xinshui said: "It's no problem to find the Holy Driver before the bandits, but what if the Holy Driver refuses to come? The general can't always take the Holy Driver.
Are you going to be kidnapped and brought to Yongping?"
Wu Sangui said: "Then you should find a way to persuade the Holy Master."
"Ah? Convince the Holy Master?" Hu Xinshui said with a bitter face, "Uncle, we are stupid and can't do this."
Wu Sangui's face fell. Do I have to make it clear? Can't you think about it with your dog brain?
At this time, Fang Guangchen, who was sitting on the side, said with a smile: "General Hu, in order to ensure the safety of the holy driver, you can forcibly kidnap people when necessary. In short, everything is to ensure the safety of the holy driver."
"Understood!" Hu Xinshui felt at ease now.
…
Bai Guangen returned to Beijing as quickly as possible.
After receiving the news, Li Zicheng immediately summoned several close friends to discuss the matter.
Li Zicheng said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by this guy Wu Sangui?"
Niu Jinxing pondered and said: "I think Wu Sangui is waiting for a price to sell. He feels that the price offered by the Lord is too low, and I hope that the Lord can continue to increase the price."
Li Zicheng said: "Isn't it enough to still pacify Uncle Xi and serve as his commander-in-chief?"
Niu Jinxing said: "I guess Wu Sangui is unwilling to hand over Guan Ning's army, and also wants to be the governor of Jiliao."
Li Zicheng said: "It's okay for Guan Ningjun to still give him this, but Governor Jiliao can't. If this is the case, won't he become the local emperor of Jizhen?"
Niu Jinxing said: "What the Lord said is absolutely true. He who is as strong as Li Rusong is just an admiral."
Li Zicheng said: "In this way, give him two days to think about it. If he agrees, he will hand over Jizhen and Shanhaiguan to Tang Tong for guarding, and then lead Guan Ning's army to Beijing. If he doesn't agree, there is nothing much to say. Send troops to destroy him."
"
Song Xiance said: "Your Majesty, only ten thousand soldiers and horses from Tang Tong were sent to guard Jizhen and Shanhaiguan. Isn't it a little weak?"
"Commander Zuo is overly worried." Niu Jinxing said with a smile, "We in Dashun and Jiannu have no old grudges. Jiannu will not send troops to attack us for no reason."
"The Prime Minister is right. We have not provoked the Jiannu. Why should the Jiannu attack us?" Li Zicheng waved his hand and said, "What's more, last year the Jiannu sent people to form an alliance with us."
Song Xiance thought so and said nothing more at the moment.
Li Zicheng then said: "But Chongzhen's son, haven't you been caught yet?"
Song Xiance said quickly: "Li You, Gu Kecheng and the others have already entered the mountains. As long as Chongzhen's son does not escape from the Great Wall and escape into Chahar Mongolia, he will definitely be caught."
"The key is not to delay for too long." Li Zicheng said with a frown.
Niu Jinxing also echoed: "Yes, the Lord is still waiting for Chongzhen to return to the Zen throne."
"You are a thief," Liu Zongmin scolded, "Child Chongzhen is really crazy and dares to escape into Yanshan."
Chongzhen actually led the remnant of his troops into Yanshan. This was something Li Zicheng and others did not expect. The conditions in the mountains were not as harsh as those in the capital.
Li Zicheng has experienced this pain.
So Chongzhen dared to enter Yanshan, which surprised Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng scratched his head and said: "Let the right military advisor also go into the mountain and capture Chongzhen's son as soon as possible. The enthronement ceremony cannot be delayed any longer. I am not in a hurry, but the old brothers can't wait any longer."
As long as Chongzhen was not captured, Li Zicheng would not be able to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
As long as Li Zicheng does not ascend the throne, rewards for meritorious officials will not be carried out.
But the old men in the Dashun Army can't wait to get promoted to a higher rank.
Among them, the most active ones were Li Zicheng's relatives. When Xi'an was enfeoffed, these people were all granted the title of marquis. If Li Zicheng ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, these people should be granted the title of king.
