Han’s Son is Not a Slave

There has never been a subordinate relationship between Hong Chengchou and Shang Kexi. As early as the sixth year of Chongzhen, Shang Kexi, who was the deputy general of Guanglu Island, had led his troops to reduce the gold. At this time, Hong Chengchou was commanding the Ming army as the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi. Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang's encirclement and suppression war. A lieutenant general of Guanglu Island, and a three-sided governor, the two are 108,000 miles apart in identities, and the distance is also 108,000 miles apart, so naturally there is no relationship between them.

After Shang Ke was delighted to drop gold, his department was given the name "Heavenly Helping Soldiers" by Hong Tai, and he was also awarded the chief soldier, under the banner of the Han army. After Hong Tai changed "Jin" to "Qing" in the ninth year of Chongzhen, he named Shang Kexi the King of Zhishun and ordered him to follow him to conquer Korea. During this period, there was never any contact between Shang Kexi and Hong Chengchou, who was directing the encirclement and suppression of rogues in Guan, and the two probably only knew the existence of each other. It was not until the Songjin War broke out in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen that Shang Kexi and Hong Chengchou had their first contact. This battle was also the only battle between the two.

The Battle of Songjin ended with the annihilation of the Ming army, and the surrender of the coach Hong Chengchou. Although Hong Chengchou was highly valued by Hong Tai after the surrender of the Qing Dynasty, in the end, Hong Tai did not hold any official positions except for consulting. Such status and treatment are naturally not as good as Shang Ke, who is the king of Zhishun, not to mention the affiliation between the two.

Hong Chengchou's fate changed a lot after the Qing army entered the customs. For the consideration of Han to control Han, Dorgon, contrary to his brother's attitude of trusting Hong Chengchou on the surface, but extremely vigilant in his heart, took Hong Chengchou very seriously. His original title appointed him as Prince Taibao, Minister of War, and Imperial Censor of the Right Capital of the Imperial Court.

In the second year of Shunzhi, Duoduo, Prince of Qingyu, led his division to capture Nanjing, but the "head shaving order" aroused fierce resistance from the people of the Ming Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River. In the fourth year of Shunzhi, Hong Chengchou died because of his father. Return to the hometown to observe the system. In April of the following year, he was summoned to return to Beijing again, and was once again admitted to the Inner Court to assist in the maintenance of mechanics. Dorgon was very condolences to him, and he was very fond of him. All suggestions are accepted. After the death of Doer Gun, in the ten years of Shunzhi, because the Yongli regime of the Ming Dynasty in the south united with the rest of the Daxi Army to fight against the Qing, the Qing army was defeated one after another in the Hunan battlefield. In order to save the defeat, Shunzhi ordered Hong Chengchou to serve as the economic strategy of the five provinces, and was solely responsible for the war in the south until now.

Unlike Hong Chengchou, who had been serving in various places for the Qing court after the Qing army entered the customs, Shang Kexi only led his troops to enter the customs in the first year of Shunzhi and returned to Prince Duoduo to pursue Li Zicheng's troops. Liaodong Haizhou. This time, it was four years in Liaodong. Until the sixth year of Shunzhi, because of the repeated wars in the south, the Eight Banners of Manchuria were not enough to call, and the Qing court had to reuse the Han Sanshun King who had returned to Liao again, and changed the title of Shang Kexi to the King of Pingnan. , ordered his troops to attack Guangdong. Shunzhi seven years. Shang Kexi, together with Geng Jimao, captured Guangzhou, and then stayed in Guangzhou until now.

The Qing court appointed Hong Chengchou as the economic strategy of the five provinces. These five provinces refer to Huguang, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou. Although Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao were both vassal kings in name, they still had to obey the five provinces in war. Slightly unified arrangement. However, Shunzhi did not know what to think about it, so he issued another decree in Guangdong, which stated that "Guangdong's thieves will break down, the area will be flattened, and Hunan is far away, and the two kings and the governor should be dedicated to cooking."

This decree actually changed Hong Chengchou's Five Provincial Classics into Four Provincial Classics in disguise. With this will, Shang Kexi, Geng Jimao and even Li Suotai can ignore Hong Chengchou and act alone, as long as they are notified afterwards. With this intention, Hong Chengchou could not intervene in the military and political affairs of Guangdong. Even more, he was under the unified command of his old supervisor Hong.

Without the power to control the two kings of Guangdong, Hong Chengchou could only send this letter to Guangdong in his personal name. The words and sentences in the letter were carefully considered, and there was absolutely no intention of grandiosity.

The reason why Ban Zhifu also called Hong Chengchou the "Old Instructor" was mostly because of the old affairs of the Ming Dynasty. After all, Hong Chengchou was an official in the Chongzhen Dynasty. Even if these people voted for "name masters" many years earlier than Hong Chengchou, they would definitely not dare to despise them. Another important point is that Hong Chengchou had been serving as the nominal abstinence scripture for a little over a year before the decree of granting the two kings of Guangdong full-time positions. This year may not be long, and Hong Chengchou has not given any orders to the second king of Guangdong in this more than one year, but in terms of the official side of the rules, no matter whether the two kings are now under the control of Hong Chengchou, he Teachers are all set. Even if Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao see Hong Chengchou himself in the future, they still have to call each other "Old Supervisor" with the respect of the prince.

"Older Hong is not up to himself. Instead, he called this Wang Xijin. He is also very good at this abacus."

Shang Kexi is not as polite as Ban Zhifu to Hong Chengchou. He doesn't even bother to show any respect to Hong Chengchou in front of his cronies, because he always thinks that Hong Chengchou, the commander of the defeated army, is nothing special. It was a complete mess. In the final analysis, Hong Laoer's prestige over the years was only built on the rogues he encircled and suppressed back then, and those rogues were nothing like soldiers and horses, and if two rotten persimmons were put together, it would be worse than the other. The person who really admires, Li Dingguo is much stronger than Hong Laoer, even Sun Kewang is stronger than this famous Laoer!

Shang Kexi, who is nearly sixty years old, is still strong, and his words are full of vigor. He patted the letter on the table, sneered, and said, "The emperor's will for him to wait and see, Mr. Hong, to us. I didn't mention anything, but he was good, but he wanted to ask this king to find out the truth for him. Hmph, is the truth so easy to detect? If it's true, what if it's false?"

"Your Highness means not to go west?" Ban Zhifu was thoughtful.

Shang Kexi shook his head and said, "If the two thieves Sun and Li are really fighting, how can they not take advantage of this great opportunity?"

"What does your lord mean?"

Ban Zhifu couldn't understand Nan Wang's mind. He just said that the truth is not easy to detect, but he said that in a blink of an eye, but he didn't know what the king was thinking.

"We still have to go to the west, but we can't go with great fanfare. First send some troops to Gaozhou to explore. If Li Dingguozhen and Sun Kewang are in conflict, he will not leave many troops in Gaozhou. On the contrary..." Speaking of this, Shang Fortunately, he didn't say any more. Ban Zhifu knew what he said and nodded, only to see that King Pingnan's brows were already wrinkled.

Seeing this, Ban Zhifu hurriedly said, "Your Highness, don't worry. From my point of view, the two thieves Sun and Li must have had an internal strife. Otherwise, there is such a big movement in Xinhui, why is there no sign of the Ming army in Gaozhou advancing eastward."

"I hope so."

Shang Kexi is also a man who has been in the army for many years~www.wuxiaspot.com~ How can I not know that Gaozhou Mingjun has been a little wrong these past few months, I didn't know it before

Why didn't Li Dingguo take advantage of the situation to move eastward? Now it seems that he is afraid that Nan Ming is really on fire in his backyard.

"Either false or real, we must deal with the Xinhui Taiping Army as soon as possible, otherwise, this nail will sooner or later pierce our head and bleed our blood."

Speaking of this, Shang Kexi got up and took two steps, and instructed Ban Zhifu: "You go to Xinhui tomorrow, transfer your soldiers back, and let Zhixin calm down, I can wait a month or two here. I told him not to worry, he has been besieged for a few months, and he doesn't care if he is besieged for another month or two. This king does not believe that the thieves in Xinhui City are really hard! If they are hungry, they will starve to death!"

After Ban Zhifu responded, he asked in confusion, "Why did the lord want to transfer his soldiers?"

Shang Kexi chuckled lightly: "Since it has been decided to explore Li Dingguo's bottom, that is the real exploration, let the soldiers of the family go, and if the exploration is good, it is just right to take Gaozhou in one fell swoop, and when the letter has been resolved by the Taiping army, I will call him. Lead the army straight to Gaozhou, and then this king will call the Geng family boy to go westward, and kill Li Dingguo by surprise!" (To be continued.)
