Han’s Son is Not a Slave

As vassal kings, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao were independent from the local military and political system in Guangdong, and they were only responsible for the Qing court, not the Guangdong region. In name, the Governor of Guangdong is the highest military and political official in Guangdong Province. In fact, Li Suotai, the Governor of Guangdong, needs to listen to the command of the lord, at least in the military, he has no independent command. The vassal king only needs to give him a note, and there is no need to consult his governor of Guangdong. In fact, the two vassals of Pingnan and Jingnan are already semi-independent. As long as the Yongli regime of Nanming is completely destroyed, the two vassals will be able to get them. In the land of Yongzhen, the military, government, financial and power of a province are fully absorbed into the palace and become a real vassal king. At that time, the Qing court will only be effective in North Korea for them.

The vassal kings who listen to the tune and do not listen to the propaganda have always been the taboo of the central government, and this court is still a barbarian court, and it must be extremely guarded against the appearance of Han vassal kings. Because of the severing of the vassal, who can be sure that these Han vassal kings will not become the existence of the king of Yan? As a royal relative of the Qing Dynasty, as an authentic Han army bannerman, the governor of Guangdong, Li Suitai, who has long been a Manchu, cannot but think about the future. Although this matter is still far away, it does not prevent him from "worrying. The sincere heart of the country and the people”.

As early as the fifth year of Shunzhi, the Qing regent Dorgon gave them great authority when they led the old troops to the south, including Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong, promising that the three kings could acquire a province in the south as a town for generations. Domain land. Today, although Dorgon has been dead for seven years, the Qing court does not deny its promise to the three kings. It's just that Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan, died in Guilin, and Geng Jingzhong committed suicide because of the escape. Now there are only Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao, who inherited his father Wang Jue.

To a certain extent, Dorgon's promise to the three kings was because the casualties of the Manchu troops and horses were too great after entering the customs. The tens of thousands of Manchu and eight banners plus the same number of Mongolian eight banners could not defeat Nanming at all, and it was impossible to effectively occupy the customs. Therefore, Dorgon adopted the policy of subjugating the Han by the Han. The three Kong Youde, who ordered the surrender of the Qing Dynasty in the early years, led the old troops to the south, and in order to encourage them to work for the Qing court, they were named kings. At the same time, he promised that the three kings could choose Yongzhen, a province in the south.

Today, the background of Dorgon's original kingship has changed. Today's Nanming regime only has a few provinces in the southwest, and the Qing court already owns more than half of China. Although the Nanming regime has the support of the Daxi Army, it is now confronting the Qing army in Hunan, Sichuan, Guangdong and other places, and the Nanming general Li Dingguo before and after The two defeated the Qing army, killed Prince Nikan, and set fire to Dingnan King Kong Youde, but the entire Ming and Qing confrontation situation was still dominated by the Qing. Ming is inferior. After all, the provinces in the southwest are too dilapidated, and neither manpower nor material resources are enough to compare with the Qing court, which occupies more than half of China. Therefore, in the eyes of the world, the Qing court will sooner or later destroy Nanming and stabilize the country.

Since the Qing court will definitely be able to take over the world, the matter of Yongzhen that Doergun promised to the three kings at the beginning has become a headache for the Qing court. On the one hand, Nanming is still stubbornly resisting. The main soldiers and horses are all Han people. If Dorgon's policy is denied at this time, it will inevitably cause the Han officials and Han generals who serve the Qing court to have the idea of ​​"kill the cunning rabbit. Centrifugal towards the Qing court, in case the situation changes. It is definitely not worth the loss for the Qing court.

Now that three kings become two kings is not a good thing. If the Qing court really fulfilled Dorgon's promise to their vassals, they would save one less in the future, which is obviously a very beneficial thing. Although Emperor Shunzhi didn't think so, but he couldn't stand the pressure of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, so he could only recognize this matter with his nose. But it's not that he didn't do anything. After Geng Jingzhong died because of the escape, Shunzhi kept trying to prevent Geng Jimao from attacking his father's king. This idea is quite stingy. It was her mother's repeated persuasion that allowed Geng Jimao to take the throne, or else the current King of Jingnan would still be holding the insignificant title of first-class elite Hatch.

Figuring out what you want is an inevitable decision to be an official. What's more, the Governor of Guangdong, who is "concerned about the country and the people", has had many conflicts with Pingnan and Jingnan since Li Suotai took office. The big ones don't dare to move, but the small ones are constant. Since taking office for a few months, in addition to the standard camp he brought from the north, the Guangdong Green Camp was finally soaked in some water by him, and now he can control several thousand soldiers. Thousands of soldiers are the greatest protection for the Governor.

In addition, Li Ruitai has been making suggestions to the Qing court, hoping that the court can also set up a city in Guangzhou, and set up garrison generals, so that there are Manchu soldiers in the town, whether it is now or in the future, Guangzhou is not in danger of being lost, as long as If Guangzhou is not lost, the situation in Guangdong will not be completely corrupted. It is a pity that Guangdong is located in the south, and the climate is too hot. The full soldiers in the north can't bear the weather. Therefore, the Qing court has not agreed to Li Suotai's request. Last year, when Li Dingguo's army attacked, Ha Mu and others from Beijing couldn't wait to return to the north to escape the summer as soon as Li Dingguo's army retreated. This move made Li Suotai's request unsupported.

After learning that Shang Kexi had transferred troops to guard the Xinhui, Li Suotai had nothing to say. He could not interfere with the military dominance of the two vassals, but Li Suotai was the leader of Shang Zhixin, who led the reinforcements to the Xinhui. Quite disdain. In his opinion, the Prince of Pingnan, Shang Zhixin, who just turned 20 years old this year, is a real second-generation ancestor, and he is also an arrogant, arrogant and irritable second-generation ancestor.

Shang Kexi did not send a general to help, but sent his arrogant son to lead the army, which made Li Suotai worry a lot about the gain or loss of Xinhui City. UU read www.uukanshu.com Shang Zhixin, who led his troops to aid the Xinhui, was also full of resentment after leaving the city. He didn't understand why his father agreed to the request of Geng Jimao's boy and let him lead the army.

Although they both belong to the Han army flags, they are also the vassal kings conferred by the Qing court, but Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao are the Han army's normal yellow flag and the Han army's inlaid blue flag. As the heir of the Prince of Pingnan, Shang Zhixi also disliked Geng Jimao a hundred times. In terms of age, Geng Jimao was one year younger than him, so he saw that Geng Jimao, who was younger than himself, had taken the throne and became a prince, but he was a prince. Although the Qing court also named him a duke, he bowed his head in front of that kid, Geng Jimao, which made him very depressed.

In the eyes of outsiders, Pingnan and Jingnan were originally one entity. Back then, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong were collectively known as the "Three Miners of Liaodong". Working hard for the Qing court in the south, so in terms of closeness and relationship, Pingnan and Jingnan are inseparable from public to private. There should not be any contradictions, but in fact there are deep contradictions between the two vassals. Both the two vassals wanted Guangdong to be their own permanent town, but the Qing court was imitating it. What is even worse is that the Qing court not only did not have a clear answer to which feudal lord Guangdong belonged to, but also put these two vassals. Wang Yiqi is stuffed in Guangdong!
