Han’s Son is Not a Slave

"The Song father and son raised their troops at this time, but they chose a good time. After all, the Yongli court is not yet dead, and the people's hearts are not settled. He raises troops at this time, and he can get a lot of benefits. At least, Yongli will not treat him badly. Hong Jinglue’s letter revealed that Lord Xin believes that Yuanjiang must be suppressed, otherwise the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty will definitely be ready to move, and the local chieftains will also respond accordingly. It will not calm down for a day. Therefore, King Xin ordered Gushan Ezhenzhuoluo to lead half of the Manchu army through Tonghai to conquer the Yuanjiang River, and the general himself and Ezhen Yide led the other half of the Manchu army to stay in Kunming."

While talking, Hu Shouliang handed a letter from Hong Chengchou from Kunming to Fang Xianting next to him. There are also two people in the account, one is Wu Sangui's son-in-law Xia Guoxiang, and the other is Lin Tianqing, the newly appointed governor of Yunnan.

Xia Guoxiang is both civil and military, good at planning, but he was born at an untimely time in his early years. Not only that, but Wu Sangui also ordered the Prime Minister of Xia to take charge of Guan Ningbing, his direct line of soldiers, and also married his eldest daughter to him as his wife, which naturally made Xia Guo loyal to Wu Sangui. Outsiders all said that if King Pingxi had a right-hand man, then Xia Guoxiang was one of them.

Lin Tianqing was a close associate of Hong Chengchou. When Hong Chengchou was still the governor-general of the three sides of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Tianqing served under him. After the Battle of Songshan, Lin Tianqing surrendered with Hong Chengchou. In the tenth year of Shunzhi, he was recommended by Hong Chengchou to serve as the governor of Huguang. In the eleventh year of Shunzhi, he was sued by the prefect of Jiayu for bribes. As a result, he was demoted by the Qing court as "incompetent" and remained in office as usual. After that, he was downgraded by five grades and transferred to external use.

After the Qing army entered Yunnan, Shunzhi asked Hong Chengchou who could serve as governor of Yunnan. Hong Chengchou, who was nostalgic, recommended Lin Tianqing to Shunzhi again. So he sold Hong Chengchou's face, so Lin Tianqing had to take up the post of governor of Yunnan.

However, although he is called the Governor of Yunnan, Lin Tianqing has nothing to do right now, and the city of Kunming was destroyed by a fire by the Ming army, leaving no place for his governor's yamen. Doni, the King of Xinjun, didn't like to see him, and his old benefactor Hong Chengchou was not living well. Now, a dignified five-province scripture was either called by Xinjun to do some staff work, or he was sent to raise food and grass. It is impossible to get involved in the military and political affairs of Yunnan at all. Among the army, only Wu Sangui, a nominal student, could be influenced by him a little, and the other groups ignored Hong Chengchou's strategy at all, not to mention that he had no good feelings for the governor Lin Tianqing.

Lin Tianqing asked Hong Chengchou to help him talk to King Xin, and asked him to come to Wu Sangui's army. He really didn't dare to stay in Kunming, because there was a word from Guangxi Admiral Xian Guoan, saying that he wanted to look good on him. .

Xian Guoan wanted to show Lin Tianqing a good look, because the newly appointed governor gave him a discount to the court, saying that Xian Guoan accompanied the army to the west of Yunnan, and wanted to loot, rape, slaughter and kill him, which made him go wherever he went. Life was ruined, and the people changed countless times. As the governor of Yunnan, Lin Tianqing had to ask the court to punish Xian Guoan to reassure the people. Never thought that Zou Shu was still on the road, but he didn't know how Xian Guoan knew about this, and angrily threatened to kill Lin Tianqing in the army.

Lin Tianqing is the governor of Yunnan, and Xian Guoan is the admiral of Guangxi. Naturally, it is impossible to kill Lin Tianqing, the court governor and commander, so the words are really angry. But when Lin Tianqing heard it, it was different. No one in Yunnan wanted to see him at the moment, and his old benefactor Hong Chengchou didn't care what he said. Xian Guoan really wanted to trouble him, and Wang Doni would definitely not do it for him. what lord. Now Yunnan is at war, and there are beacon flames everywhere. Although Xian Guoan did not dare to kill him blatantly, no one can guarantee that he will not make a man behind his back, and then blame his death on the assassin of the Ming army. So in order to save his life, Lin Tianqing only got Wu Sangui's army to take refuge temporarily, thinking that Xian Guoan was the admiral of Guangxi, and when the war in Yunnan was over, he would definitely go back to Guangxi, and then he would go back to Kunming, so he would not have to worry about Xian Guoan's attack .

Wu Sangui also respected Lin Tianqing, the governor of Yunnan, and he would be present at all military conferences. In addition, he knew that the governor had a shallow relationship with his nominal teacher, so he deliberately attracted him. After all, with the support of the governor of Yunnan, the enfeoffment of Yunnan and Guizhou planned by King Pingxi would be much smoother.

After hearing what Hu Shouliang said, Wu Sangui shook his head with a smile, and said, "The local soldiers are limited in combat strength. Although the Song father and son are not weak, they can't stop the whole army from passing by. To deal with it properly, to deal with these native officials, you have to kill chickens with a bull's knife, otherwise, they will think that my Qing soldiers are afraid of them."

"My lord's words are justified, and so does the humble office." Hu Shouliang agreed with a smile, then opened an official document and glanced at it, his brows suddenly wrinkled.

Seeing this, Wu Sangui asked him, "What's the matter?"

Hu Shouliang calmed down and said, "The King of Letters ordered Xian Guoan to return to his division."

"Return to teacher?"

Wu Sangui and Fang Xianting were both stunned, but Xia Guoxiang's expression remained unchanged. Lin Tianqing stood up a little excited. This news was the best news he had heard when he came to Yunnan. Fortunately, the general actually asked Xian Guoan to return to the division. Could it be that his own book had an effect, and the court wanted to punish Xian Guoan?

"Isn't Xian Guoan breaking the Guangxi Palace City, why do you believe that the king wants him to return to his teacher?"

Wu Sangui is a little strange. Although the Zulu Qing army was led by General Zhao Butai, the main force was Guangxi soldiers under the command of Xian Guoan. Although it is now stated that the army has retreated to the southwest area of ​​Yunnan, the rest of Yunnan is also unstable and still needs a large army. to suppress. Xian Guoan has 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses, which can be used in these places. What's wrong with Duny, and he actually transferred people back?

"Brother Hu, what's going on?" Fang Xianting asked Hu Shouliang when he saw Hu Shouliang's expression was wrong.

"Guangxi Governor Chen Weixin urgently reported that the Guangdong Ming Army had already occupied Guilin and was on its way to Yunnan, so the King of Letters' lifeline Guoan returned to the division to block the Guangdong Ming Army." Hu Shouliang handed the official document to Wu Sangui.

When Wu Sangui was reading the official document, Hu Shouliang said to the other party Xianting and the three of them: "Chen Weixin urgently reported that the Guangdong Ming army who entered Guizhou has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. He is a formidable enemy of my Qing army."

"Hundreds of thousands?" Fang Xianting was startled. The strength of the Guangdong Ming Army shocked him.

Xia Guoxiang sneered and said in disbelief, "Chen Weixin was afraid that the imperial court would hold him accountable for abandoning the land, so he expanded the strength of the Ming army in Guangdong. There are more than 100,000 soldiers, and even if he is a husband, he can get 200,000 soldiers and horses. Guangdong Where did the Ming army come from so many people?"

"Hundreds of thousands is definitely an exaggeration, but to be able to capture several important towns in Guangxi in just one month, this Guangdong Ming army is also very elite. I'm afraid there are 50,000 to 60,000 people."

Wu Sangui said, putting down the official document, and looking at the crowd, he said with some emotion: "This king heard the name of the scholar when he was in Hanzhong the year before last, and then only heard that the scholar was defeated by the Prince of Pingnan according to the new club~www.wuxiaspot .com~ I don't think it's only been two or three years. King Pingnan, King Jingnan, Prince Jian, Li Suotai, and Haha Mu have all become the losers of this scholar, and this scholar still occupies a province and brings them out. A strong army has come, it is really a hero and a boy, powerful, powerful..."

Hu Shouliang and Fang Xianting both nodded slightly. Although Xia Guoxiang had a high self-esteem, he also admired the thief scholar who emerged in Guangdong. After all, the other party defeated the Manchu soldiers. Speaking of which, since the Wanli Liao Incident in the former Ming Dynasty, it was the first time that the Manchus suffered such a big defeat at the hands of the Han people. Not only did they lose an infinite amount of Zhen, Dutong, and Shenlu, but the prince also gave them one. Not to mention Those two Han Fans who were like their father-in-law. The word hero, that thief show is worthy.

Lin Tianqing said, "That scholar is very powerful, but in the eyes of the lower officials, he is ignorant of current affairs and the overall situation. No matter how capable his soldiers are, no matter how fast they run, they will not be able to appear in front of our eyes tomorrow. Well. So the lord doesn't have to worry about that scholar coming to Qin Wang. The king has already told Xian Guoan to return to his division. If the Guangdong Ming Army wants to come to Yunnan, they will first have to defeat Xian Guoan.

Fang Xianting nodded and said, "That's right, no matter how fast the show can run, he won't be able to catch up."

Hu Shouliang suddenly said: "My lord, I'm thinking, did the show really come to King Qin?" (To be continued.)
