Gushi Khan, who was in his sixties, was originally forced to come to the Qinghai-Tibet region from Xinjiang for retirement. Within a few days of his good life, he was challenged by Li Zicheng and became angry.
He immediately declared Li Zi to be an enemy of Buddha and called on all Tibet to resist.
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is once again caught in the flames of war.
In Datong, Jiang Quan's days are like years.
As mentioned earlier, Jiang Quan rebelled repeatedly, his moral bottom line was crossed many times, and he was never trusted by the Manchus.
Although he was the commander-in-chief, he was criticized and supervised by the obedient Marquis Wu Weihua, who made his life extremely uncomfortable.
At this moment, a messenger from Shaanxi came and directly persuaded him to surrender.
Originally he didn't want to, but the court gave him too much:
Bao Debo, the general of Datong.
There is one more count.
And let’s forget about the past.
Compared with the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, it is simply incomparable.
Even to show his sincerity, ten thousand taels of silver were delivered directly to his home.
I felt itchy in my heart for more than half a year, and finally after hearing about the defeat of the Qing Dynasty in Huai'an, I immediately made up my mind to surrender to the winning side.
Therefore, he simply wrote a letter directly stating his loyalty.
"Why hasn't the army arrived yet?"
Shivering, his body was covered with mink skins, like a snowball, looking forward to the stars and the moon.
At this time, in Datong City, Wu Weihua was reading letters from all over Datong, staring intently.
He was originally a scholar, and his ancestors were Mongolians after Wu Yuncheng, the respectful uncle of the Ming Dynasty. He submitted to the Ming Dynasty in the Yongle year, and was given the surname "Wu" by Zhu Di.
In the 17th year of Chongzhen (1644), when Dorgon entered the capital, he paid homage to the horse head and surrendered to the Manchus. He recommended himself to the mountains and recruited people from various places in Shaanxi. Because he followed the expedition to Taiyuan and made great achievements in Datong, he was granted the title of Gongshunhou in the second year of Shunzhi.
It can be said that as a nobleman of the capitulation faction, Wu Weihua was turned from an earl to a marquis. He was very loyal to the Qing Dynasty and had always looked down upon Jiang Yu.
In other words, he exists just to find fault.
"This kid, Jiang Yan, has been so peaceful recently. I'm afraid there is something wrong in his heart."
Wu Weihua muttered, the more he looked at Jiang Yu, the more displeased he became.
"Sir, the Jiang Mansion also sent five hundred taels of silver yesterday."
The master on the side said softly.
"Humph, I'm afraid you've also taken advantage of him."
Wu Weihua grimaced and said in a deep voice: "It's only five hundred taels of silver, is he fooling the devil?"
"Go and send someone to keep an eye on him. If anything happens, report him immediately."
"yes!"
After he left, Wu Weihua slumped down on the imperial chair, his back covered with cold sweat:
"The imperial court was defeated. How could it be defeated? Impossible, absolutely impossible."
He didn't know much about the emperor in the south. He only knew that he was a side branch who inherited the throne after leaving the fifth service, but he was mean and ungrateful.
Just like Taizu.
It's just that if Kaicheng surrenders, the prince will be exempted from raiding his home and moving to the southwest.
If this allowed him to succeed in the Northern Expedition and restore the country and the country, would that be enough?
"No, absolutely not."
Wu Weihua thought about his actions during these days, and became more and more loyal to the Qing Dynasty: "Shanxi cannot be chaotic."
As long as you have control of Shanxi, especially the troops and horses of Datong, you will be able to sell them at a good price whether it is the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty.
And ginger boils are a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh.
Thinking of this, he began to think about how to get Jiang Yu to jail as soon as possible.
The hard work paid off, and the next day, he received a piece of news: half a month ago, a businessman came in and out of the general's residence and delivered a large amount of money.
Others thought of bribery, but in Wu Weihua's case, it was Jiang Yu who was bribed to commit treason.
"See if I don't punish you to death."
Thinking of this, Wu Weihua wrote as fast as a knife, rolled up his sleeves, and started writing.
According to his writing, Jiang Quan has been in close contact with people from all three religions and nine schools recently.
Moreover, they contacted the Ming army through merchants and accepted gold, silver and jewelry, thinking that they could sell Datong and Shanxi. As soon as the time came, they would immediately open the city and surrender.
The best proof is that military and horse drills in Datong have become more frequent. They used to drill every half a month, but now they drill every ten days.
"When Jiang Yu leaves, will there be a more suitable candidate than me in Datong?"
Wu Weihua laughed and ordered his servants to hurry up and rush to the capital to present it to the regent for inspection.
Jiang Quan, who had been in Datong for many years and came from a military family for generations, was naturally prepared.
As soon as the letter from the Wu family was sent, it had already arrived at his home before leaving the city.
The servant died immediately.
"Damn it, Wu Gou is really a bitch-hearted!"
When Jiang Quan saw the letter, he immediately became furious and cursed.
Originally, he was still 70% uneasy, 30% uneasy, and 50% nervous, but now he was completely filled with anger.
At this moment, he couldn't help it anymore: "How long will it take for the Ming army to pay me back?"
At this time, his younger brother, Datong General Jiang Wuze, said: "Second brother, I heard that there are still ten days left and the road on the grassland is not easy to walk."
"I can't wait any longer."
Jiang Yan's face turned red, he slapped the table with his big hand and made a loud noise: "I have been in Datong for many years and have never suffered such grievances. A villain like Wu Weihua deserves to die."
"But Wu Weihua still has two to three thousand people outside the city, which is difficult to deal with..."
"Why do you care so much? Anyway, hesitation is the most taboo in this kind of thing."
Jiang Quan said loudly: "I don't believe that in Datong Mansion, Wu Weihua can still make waves."
"Do you think I am an angry Meng Lang?"
"Isn't it?" Jiang Wu wondered.
"You are really stupid for being a soldier."
Jiang Quan shook his head and explained with a smile: "Although it is only a few hundred miles from Datong to Beijing, even in spring and March, it is snowing heavily, and it takes ten days to travel at a fast pace."
"Not to mention the need to prepare food, grass and baggage, and the delay in blocking news."
When he said this, his eyes lit up: "This is to start the rebellion in advance, just to tell Emperor Shaowu that although I, Jiang Yu, only have ten or twenty thousand people under my command, I have the power to overthrow the entire Shanxi Province."
In fact, Wu Weihua was just a catalyst. Jiang Gu had long wanted to dedicate Datong Mansion to the Ming Dynasty.
The concepts of an army and a government are different.
Similarly, as Datong Prefecture is the gateway to Shanxi, once it is captured, it will be easy to capture the entire province of Shanxi.
So taking action in advance is to prove your worth.
Jiang Yan made up his mind and took action immediately.
Half an hour later, the Datong soldiers outside the city entered the city and took control of all the city gates.
At this time, Jiang Qian walked into Wu Weihua's mansion majestically.
The splendor and splendor are not much worse than his home, and they were all taken from him.
Jiang Yan became even more angry.
"Jiang Yu, what do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?"
Wu Weihua's face turned pale immediately when he saw the strong-backed Jiang Yu, and even started to turn pale.
Immediately, he thought of the Qing Dynasty behind him, and immediately became energetic and unafraid.
"rebel?"
Jiang Yan took out his sword and showed a ferocious smile: "So what if I rebel today?"
"You dog Tatar, today next year will be your death anniversary——"
