Han’s Son is Not a Slave

When King Li Dingguo of Jin fought against the Qing army in Mopan Mountain, Emperor Yongli broke his promise again and entered Burma in a panic under the instigation of Ma Jixiang and others. Command the Qing war. In desperation, the King of Jin could only lead his troops to retreat to the south, which was rugged in the border area of ​​Yunnan. In February, the King of Jin led his troops to the car, and after resting for more than a month, they moved to the Menggen area. During this time, many Ming troops came to join the King of Jin, bringing the strength of the King of Jin to more than 30,000.

Due to the abandonment of the country by the emperor, the situation deteriorated. The communication channel between the King of Jin and the north was cut off by the Qing army, and the news with the court was cut off. In addition, the defeat of the Mopan Mountain in the first battle, the King of Jin became ill and the army was unstable. In March, the King of Jin, who was seriously ill, suddenly ordered He Jiuyi, the Duke of Guangguo, to be beaten to death with a stick. The reason was that He Jiuyi's wife was captured by the Qing army, and the Qing side took the opportunity to write a letter to threaten He Jiuyi to surrender. He Jiuyi was a little hesitant, neither decided to surrender, but did not report the matter to the King of Jin. As a result, He Jiuyi's subordinates reported the matter to the King of Jin. The King of Jin judged that He Shi had two ends and decided to execute him immediately.

He Jiuyi was originally Sun Kewang's subordinate, and the King of Jin was wary of him. In addition, He Jiuyi's subordinates had nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers, so in order to prevent He Jiuyi from leading his troops to the Qing Dynasty, the King of Jin took this decisive measure. After He Jiuyi was killed by the stick, his subordinates were deeply dissatisfied, and some generals encouraged the officers and soldiers of the He battalion to flee, and as a result, tens of thousands of He battalion soldiers scattered overnight.

After hearing about the change of He Ying, the King of Jin worried that the escaped He Ying officers and soldiers might act as the guides of the Qing army and bring the Qing army to attack, so he ordered the houses in Menggen city to be burnt down, and the young and strong men of Menggen Yi were taken captive, and the weak. The young were killed. Afterwards, the King of Jin withdrew his camp and went to Jingmai and Jingjing, and went to Bai Wenxuan, the king of Gongchang, to join forces with Bai Wenxuan to go to Mubang Myanmar to seek recovery.

Before leaving, the King of Jin ordered Jin Weixin, a trusted civil servant and minister of officials to be killed, because Jin Weixin, Ma Jixiang and others colluded to deceive him, which led to the emperor finally abandoning the country and leaving other countries. Before his death, Jin Weixin was also very remorseful, regretting whether he should have listened to Ma Jixiang's words, which led to the abandonment of the country by the emperor today, and the situation turned sharply.

When the King of Jin was still in Menggen, the anti-Qing wars of Na Song and others in the local magistrate became more and more intense, which had affected the occupation and rule of Yunnan by the Qing army. Because King Luo Keduo of Pingjun and Guangxi Admiral's line Guoan led the army back to defend the northern line, the Qing army commander Xinjun Wang Duoni decided to use his troops and Wu Sangui's troops to first suppress the local officials and soldiers from all over the country, so as to avoid the influence of the armed turmoil in these places. to the Qing army's rule over Yunnan.

After discussing with Hong Chengchou, Duny decided that he and Gushan Ezhen Yide would lead half of the Yunnan-Manchu army to stay in Kunming, while Gushan Ezhen Zhuoluo led the other half of the Manchu army to go to Yuanjiang with Wu Sangui. On the 26th of the second month, the Qing army arrived at Qujiang Station, and the Ming generals Xu Mingchen and Long Zanyan saw the strength of the Qing army, so they retreated to Yuanjiang. On the first day of the third day, the Qing army re-occupied Shipingzhou and arrived at Yuanjiang on the ninth day, and surrounded the city with its superior troops. Although Na Song once sent troops out of the city to rob the camp, he was repelled by the Qing army.

Wu Sangui ordered Yang Wei to go down to the city to shout, claiming that Song could still be the prefect of Yuanjiang Prefecture as long as he ties Guo Zhiqi, Gao Yingfeng, Xu Mingchen and other officials of the Yongli Dynasty to the throne. Guo Zhiqi and Xu Mingchen saw that the Qing army was in great difficulty and asked Na Song to accept the Qing's request to hand over him to the Qing army in exchange for the safety of the army and the people in Yuanjiang.

That Song replied resolutely, "How can life and death be easy when we work together?" He rejected Wu Sangui's request.

Seeing that Song was determined not to change, Wu Sangui wrote that the arrow was shot into the Ming army camp, and called on the army and civilians of Yuanjiang to bind Na Song and surrender, otherwise the city would be massacred.

Nasong shot **** for tat outside the book city, prepared a list of crimes since Sangui entered the customs, and assigned his title: "Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Shanhaiguan, opened the door."

This letter made Wu Sangui angry, and he waved his army to attack, and Yuanjiang City was broken. Na Song and Na Tao's father and son went to the building together, Xu Mingchen and others committed suicide, and Gao Yingfeng and Sun Yingdou were captured. Grand scholar Guo Zhiqi took advantage of the chaos to escape, but because the road to the south was blocked, he fled to the east.

Zhu Youlang, Mu Tianbo and other imperial entourages arrived in Manmo after entering Myanmar. The local Burmese native official Si Line came to greet them, and Emperor Yongli gave them gold medals and silk and silk gifts. Mu Tianbo, Duke of Qian, Wang Weihua, Marquis of Huating, and Li Chongshi, Eunuch Dianxi of the East Palace are still relatively clear-headed. They believe that the fate of the court is completely under the protection of Myanmar. If the attitude of the Burmese authorities changes, it will bring unpredictable consequences. .

Therefore, after deliberation, several people jointly proposed to Emperor Yongli: "This place belongs to the border of Burma and has not yet penetrated into it. If we send half of the civil and military soldiers into Burma with the army, and half of the leading prince into Chashan to dispatch the battalions, we will go up to Burma. There are also foreign aids to rely on. Otherwise, if you go deep into the Yi cave, you will not be able to communicate with the sound inside and outside, and you will finally be trapped."

Emperor Yongli felt that this suggestion was reasonable and could be considered. However, the king and queen of the middle palace were reluctant to keep his beloved son away from him, and insisted that he would not let the prince go to Chashan, so the move was abandoned. Because he did not know that although King Jin was defeated in Mopan Mountain, he also severely damaged the Qing army, so that Wu Sangui, who was unwilling to kill them all, could justifiably stop the pursuit. Therefore, when leaving Manmo, he ordered the native officials to cut down trees and block the road.

Since Si Xian received this order, just after the car started to drive, he searched the mountains inside and outside Guan for three days, and all the officials of the Ming Dynasty who ran into chasing cars were all arrested, their belongings were confiscated, and the able-bodied were killed at the foot of the Guanqian ditch. The old and the weak were scattered to the villages to make them pound rice, and those who were tortured to death were thrown into the river, and their bodies were exterminated.

After Emperor Yongli arrived at Bhamo, the King of Burma sent four passenger ships to greet him. As the ship was narrow, Emperor Yongli selected 646 entourage officials to go south from the Sangong through the waterway, and some of them still paid their own money to hire and buy ships to accompany the remaining 900 people, and the commander-in-chief Pan Shirong protected the Prince of Min and others on horseback. On the road, there were fourteen eunuchs including Jiang Guotai, Liu Jiugao, Liu Heng, Duan Ranzhong, Zhai Guozhen, etc., civil servants Zhu Yunjin, etc., military officers Wen Ruzhen, Fan Cunli, Jiang Chengde, Xiang Dingzhong, Gao Sheng, etc.

Ma Jixiang, Yang Zai and others accompanied Emperor Yongli to board the Burmese passenger ship. At this time, not only the entourage of civil and military officials, but also many people had not landed on the ship, and even the Empress Dowager and the East Palace were not taken care of. After Emperor Yongli set off on the boat, the Empress Dowager was furious and said, "The emperor didn't even care about his mother at this time?"

Zhu Youlang waited for only two days to moor, and on the sixth day of the lunar new year, the waterway personnel were hastily ready to start sailing south. Along the way, the Burmese villagers supplied supplies. On the 24th, the Burmese king asked the Yongli Emperor to send two ministers to cross the boat to speak.

Zhu Youlang sent Ma Xiongfei, the governor of the central government, and Wu Changqi, the censor, to "proclaim the meaning of Nanxing". Although the Yongli court still regarded itself as the suzerain, it actually came here as a refugee. Burmese monarchs and ministers are naturally very clear about this. In order to avoid difficulties in handling the etiquette properly, the Burmese king refused to receive the envoy, and only sent the Han Chinese to pass the message.

The general manager took out the imperial edict issued to Burma when Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty checked it with the edict of Yongli brought by Ma Xiongfei and Wu Changqi, and found that the size of the jade seal was slightly different, so he doubted the orthodox status of the Yongli court. This jade seal is indeed of the wrong standard. It was made of gold in a hurry. The original jade seal was lost in Kunming.

If the jade seal system was wrong, Myanmar had enough reasons to refuse Yongli asylum. Yongli was in a hurry and asked Ma Xiongfei to explain more, but Myanmar officials did not recognize it. Fortunately, Mu Tianbo carried the seal of General Zhengnan, which has been passed down through the ages, and was often used in the documents of the Ming Dynasty between the chieftains and bordering countries in the southwest. After comparison, the Burmese authorities resolved their doubts and allowed Emperor Yongli and his entourage to temporarily stay in the territory.

On March 17, the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers who were led by Pan Shirong to receive the land route southbound arrived at the opposite bank of the river in the city of Awa, the capital of Myanmar. Due to the crowds, the king of Burma was uneasy. He said: "This is not to avoid chaos, but to hide the ears of our country!" He dispatched soldiers to surround them, and forcibly placed this batch of Nanming personnel, regardless of gender, age, or child, in nearby villagers. Housekeeping, one family, no communication~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Pity that these officials have gone through untold hardships, not only to prevent the Qing army from harming them, but also to prevent their own family from harming them. As a result, they finally followed the emperor to Burma, but In an instant, his wife and children were separated, and his family property was wiped out. He really wanted to cry without tears.

The Fifth Town sent Zhao Ziqiang's victory report to Yuanzhou on the second day of the third month of the third month. Hearing that the National Security Department of the Guangxi Victory had hit the front line, Zhou Shixiang was overjoyed and ordered the military commander's office to reward him. However, Dong Changqing, an officer of the Ministry of War, reminded the commander that the great victory in Guangxi should be sent by the governor's yamen. It seems inappropriate for Zhao Ziqiang to cross the governor's yamen to report first, so he might as well wait for the Guangxi governor's report to arrive and then discuss it together. After this reminder, Zhou Shixiang also had some doubts, so he asked the military commander's office to suspend it, and then discuss it after the Guangxi governor's report.

At this time, thousands of miles away in the city of Guangzhou, more than a dozen horses galloped from Qinzhou. Immediately, the knight was in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the city, he went straight to the chief envoy Si Yamen. Soon, the chief envoy Si Yamen once again galloped straight to Guangxi.

Ten days later, Zhou Shixiang of Yuanzhou received a shocking news that Emperor Yongli had given him a wife, but now this wife has been detained by the Annan people. And this is not the most important thing, the important thing is that the edict that Yongli Emperor appointed Zhou Shixiang as the king of Qi was also detained by the Annan people.

wife? King Qi? Annan?

Zhou Shixiang was at a loss, and he really couldn't figure out what was going on. To be continued.
