Wu Sangui also knew that Li Chuang could not withdraw his troops so easily and go to recover Shandong. There must be a reason for this, but he didn't know if it was related to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. If it was true that he borrowed troops from the Manchu Qing Dynasty as rumored, then
What should the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan do when he is a barrier to the Ming Dynasty? In recent years, he has maintained his own strength in Shanhaiguan, even secretly sharing the spoils and concealing military achievements. In addition, the emperor will definitely find a way to get rid of him, a general with a heavy army, so as not to raise
Tiger is Huan, after all, peace is always determined by generals, and generals are not allowed to see peace.
"The Holy One is unpredictable and has his own good plans. Why do you need to ask more questions, Commander-in-Chief?" After the prince said this, Lin Chong ordered someone to bring a stool for him to sit on. Sitting in front of the Emperor is a great honor.
Even the emperor's uncles and princes had to stand.
Wu Sangui was not polite. He bowed and sat down swaggeringly. He also took off his helmet and threw it on the ground. He took out a round fan to fan the wind. This fan was a round round fan made of black iron sheets.
, there is a pattern of the sun and the moon painted on the front, and on the back it is written that one sword can defeat a million soldiers. Lin Chong was curious when he saw it. This was the first time he had seen such a fan.
When Wu Sangui saw Lin Chong's look, he said, "Long live this fan. This fan is the personal belongings of Na Erha, the commander of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. Last month we fought on the battlefield. I chopped off his horse with my sword, and the fan was also killed."
Seized. In addition to fanning the wind, this iron ball fan can also be put in the chest as a breast shield. It is also a token of command of the Manchu and Qing troops. It can also be regarded as a souvenir for the late general, hahaha."
Wang Chengen on the side was shocked when he heard this. According to the regulations of the imperial court, all the spoils of war must be written in a memorial and reported to the imperial court for the emperor to decide. However, Wu Sangui concealed it and did not report it. Even though a fan was worthless, this kind of deceiving the emperor was treasonous.
, Chongzhen would have jumped up in anger, but Lin Chong didn't know the rules here. Instead, he took the fan and looked at it himself, and said with a smile on his face, "General Wu is indeed brave, he is really as good as Guan Yun of the Three Kingdoms.
Changshan Zhao Zilong is just like him."
Lin Chong was also very interested in asking about things on the battlefield, how to kill the enemy, and whether there was a lot of blood. Wu Sangui was embarrassed, thinking that this young emperor was so powerful that he couldn't see through his skin...
…
Lin Chong also called for lunch, and the monarch and his ministers ate in the main hall. After eating, Lin Chong said, "Just now General Wu said that two thousand-mile horses were killed by a horse. I will tell the world now and ask all provinces to send good horses."
I’m here to serve the general on the battlefield, but can the commander-in-chief do a small thing for me?"
"Long live the order, I will definitely bow... I will not refuse even if I die. I don't have much ink in my stomach and I don't know how to speak civil language. Please give me the order long live!"
"The three major camps rebelled, refused to obey orders, and even killed the imperial envoys sent by the imperial court. They also demanded 5 million taels of silver, otherwise they would never send troops. The three major battalions were all elites of the imperial court, and they all had firearms and equipment that could not be used.
It's such a pity. I will give you 100 taels of silver now. Can you convince the officers and soldiers of the three battalions on my behalf?" Lin Chong wanted to hand over this mess to Wu Sangui. If he didn't go, he would be resisting the order, and he would be able to deal with his unruly behavior.
An unruly look.
"Hahaha, why don't you think of a million? Five hundred thousand is enough. The three major camps are in Hebei. If you leave at the end of the day, go back and you will be able to recover after dark." After that, Wu Sangui took three cartloads of money and took a hundred people with him.
The soldiers went to Hebei, and Lin Chong also sent a young eunuch to go with him. In name, he served General Wu, but in fact he was just to monitor him so that he could come back and tell Lin Chong that there was nothing to do at noon. Lin Chong and Wang Chengen walked around the Imperial Garden together.
The Imperial Garden is the inner palace, which Lin Chong was not allowed to enter.
There are 36 rockeries and 29 towering ancient trees in the Royal Garden, all of which are rare species sent from various provinces. In the center of the garden is the Royal View Pavilion, where you can have a panoramic view of all the scenery of the garden. The garden is planted with ancient cypresses and locust trees, and is lined with rare stones.
The Jade Seat, the Jinling bronze statue, the potted flower stand scene, and the ground are all made up of patterns with the word "Fu" made of colorful pebbles. Usually the emperor would sit on the stone chair of the Yujing Pavilion to read and watch the scenery.
"Why is there not a single maid in the imperial garden?" Lin Chong was curious. Didn't he say that there were many maids in the palace? Wang Chengen replied that this was all a special order, and all the female relatives in the palace were removed to prevent him from pretending.
The dragon plays like a real phoenix.
"Tch, isn't it because I'm afraid that I'll get into someone's belly and make Chongzhen a cuckold?" Lin Chong just thought about this and didn't dare to say it out loud. Why did Wang Cheng'en still hold the antidote? The beautiful scenery could not be fully understood for a while. Lin Chong was
Wanting to go back, the eunuch sent to monitor Wu Sangui sent a message from the flying pigeon.
The letter was taken from the pigeon's leg. It said that as soon as Wu Sangui entered the military camp of the third camp in Hebei Province, he held a banquet and served wine for the generals of the three camps. There were 36,000 people in the three camps. The largest of each camp was
The leaders of the participating generals are Dong Fang, the firearms battalion commander, Li Feng, the cavalry battalion commander, and Zhang Wei, the heavy armor battalion commander.
When the three generals heard about Wu Sangui's arrival, they thought it was the imperial court sending troops to encircle and suppress them. They all had lingering fears. The soldiers had been without food and pay for a long time, and their military morale had long been unstable. If they really fought with Guan Ning's cavalry, they would both lose, but when they knew
, Wu Sangui only felt relieved when he only had a few hundred soldiers and a few carriages of money.
As soon as he sat down, Wu Sangui picked up the wine glass and said, "My generals, Sangui has been at the border for a long time and has not been able to meet you. It is truly a blessing to see you today. I will have a drink first."
Dong Fang replied, "There is no need to be polite, Mr. Wu. Your Guan Ning cavalry is strong and powerful, and the court sends out your troops on time. We stepmothers would not be treated so well. If Mr. Wu hadn't treated us to a treat, I'm afraid we would
You can't even eat this food and wine, so you still tell me, wait, how much gold and silver did the court order you to bring?" The other two generals also nodded and said yes.
"General Dong Shen is quick to speak. Let me tell you straight. Long live only gave me 50 taels of silver, which is not enough to distribute to the soldiers of the third battalion!"
When Li Feng heard this, he whipped out his sword and slashed the table with it, shouting, "What do you mean by the imperial court! Could it be that you are sent here to entertain us? Do you know how long it has been since the soldiers here sent money to their hometown? Brothers."
I haven't had enough to eat in months! I had to kill the army horses to eat meat the day before yesterday! If I can't get the money today, I think Mr. Wu will never come back!" As soon as he finished speaking, more than thirty people came out of the tent.
People, all holding muskets, pointed at Wu Sangui.
"Commander Wu, your soldiers are also surrounded by the soldiers of the third battalion. I'm afraid they won't be able to get in. If you are wise, write a letter quickly and let Chongzhen get the money!" Dong Fang said harshly and took out the money from his waist.
The short musket was pointed at Wu Sangui's head.
"Brothers, don't waste your time with him. I'll cut off his fingers first to let the court know that we are serious!" Zhang Wei had a bad temper and took out his dagger to chop off.
