Chapter 1128: It's a showdown
It is said that Wu Sangui was ordered to enter Beijing half a month ago to participate in the military parade, and he was ranked in the pillar country as he wished, and then he was invited to leave Beijing with military affairs outside the customs as a priority, but was politely rejected by Emperor Chongzhen, and the amnesty was granted to let him enjoy more human happiness.
It's just that at the critical and sensitive moment when Dolgon retreated to Jinzhou, it may not be a little strange that the imperial court would leave him in the capital, but no matter how Wu Sangui inquired or even went to his own second assistant Wu Fu, he didn't hear any strange news, at least it was certain that the imperial court would not move him.
In this way, Wu Sangui had a few days of leisure in the capital, listening to music every day, shopping and visiting friends, and Chen Yuanyuan applauded, and the days were extremely chic, but soon he felt that something was wrong, he was being monitored, and he couldn't go out of the city.
House arrest!
What is the court going to do, Wu Sangui, who was shocked, immediately went to visit Wu Fu's mansion.
It's impossible, Wu Fu also felt inexplicable, for a general who held a heavy army to guard the country, not to mention that Emperor Chongzhen didn't dare to act rashly, he wanted to discuss with them.
The more this happened, the more Wu Sangui felt more and more gains and losses in his heart, and he decided to enter the palace to ask Emperor Chongzhen to ask for an understanding.
But Emperor Chongzhen was one step ahead of him, and summoned him to the palace early in the morning to meet him.
"The thieves in the south are rampant, along the Yangtze River and the scourge of the state capitals is close to Nanjing, the weight of Nanjing does not need to be too much, the Yangtze River is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty's taxation, if it is lost, the Ming Dynasty exists in name only, although Chang Yu led the troops to go, but his qualifications and experience are shallow and I am afraid that he will not be able to support it, I want to send it to help, can Aiqing?"
Emperor Chongzhen's words, Wu Sangui, who listened to it, was surprised, and actually wanted to follow Chang Yu to the south: "Your Majesty, the hundred-legged insect of the Tartar outside the gate is dead but not stiff, not to mention that it only hurts the fur Now Dolgon is eyeing Jinzhou City, Ning Yuan is very important, although the minister has the heart to help Chang Gonggong, but he lacks skills."
"According to reliable information, Dolgon is too busy to take care of himself at this time, and he will be very lucky if we don't recover Jinzhou, and he will definitely not be able to send troops to Ningyuan. Aiqing, Jiangnan is important at this time." Emperor Chongzhen said patiently.
This makes Wu Sangui even more incomprehensible, although the little eunuch has shallow qualifications, but he is a military genius, in just a few months, the Taiyuan Defense War, the Baoding Blocking Enemy War, the Ningyuan War and the Tartar Thousands of Miles of Encirclement and Suppression, these battles all rely on him to turn the tide, and all of them won a big victory, plus there are experienced Huang Degong and other fierce generals around him, and there are newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers and other soldiers such as Li Teng Baowei, and Li Yan and other generals, plus the firepower of the Shenji Battalion, what else is there to worry about, why must you let yourself go to help the war.
Emperor Chongzhen said again: "The water in the south is too deep and muddy, and Chang Yu is not familiar with the place, so I am afraid that I will suffer a big loss."
Wu Sangui fell into silence, what does the water in the mouth of Emperor Chongzhen, who is naturally small, mean that the water is deep and muddy, to put it bluntly, the emperor is far away, and the Ming Dynasty has been mired in war and chaos in recent years, and its control over the south, its influence and deterrence are getting smaller and smaller, and the more war-torn it is, the more warlords there are, and the more complex the power is.
Indeed, if a stunned young man goes past, let alone fighting with the thief army, he may be consumed by his own people by accident.
"But outside the customs can not be taken lightly, even if the emperor sends his ministers to the south but the soldiers and horses cannot be moved, but the emperor will not let the ministers go to help Chang Gonggong single-handedly." Wu Sangong started Tai Chi.
Of course he doesn't want to go south to wade into troubled waters, now Daming is not the most special, important and safest in Ningyuan City, as long as he guards Ningyuan City, he is the overlord, he Wu Sangui will be valued by the imperial court, and the imperial court will not dare to pay attention to him.
"Of course I won't let Aiqing go it alone" Emperor Chongzhen smiled: "You don't have to worry about Ningyuan City for the time being, there is already a person you trust to help me keep an eye on, and I have transferred five thousand iron horsemen for you, Aiqing can lead his troops south to support Chang Yu on the same day, and the food and salary are all supplied by the imperial court."
Wu Sangui was shocked, Emperor Chongzhen had already transferred the soldiers and horses into the customs without concealing the world, how did he do it, without his own military order, how could his subordinates come over so easily, and who was the person he trusted?
Zu Dashou! Emperor Chongzhen only said three words.
Wu Sangui was dumbfounded! In his heart, another 10,000 drafts rushed over, and at this time he finally figured out a lot of things, all of which was played by the little eunuch and Emperor Chongzhen, and Chen Cang dug a pit for him, no wonder Wu Fu didn't hear any news from there.
Wu Sangui was angry and hateful, even if he endured it, he still trembled.
Ning Yuancheng is his own, how can he let others get involved, even if it is his uncle's ancestor!
How could Chongzhen, an old boy, trust a person who has surrendered repeatedly, but only this person can convince Ning Yuanjun.
Wu Sangui still had a lot of questions in his heart, but he was more angry, and he actually used this kind of subordinate means to force himself to comply, and transferred 5,000 soldiers and horses, which just did not affect the layout outside the customs and did not pose any threat to the little eunuch, so everything was really good.
Some people will ask, can Emperor Chongzhen and Chang Yu use such a big routine to trick Wu Sangui, that is, Wu Sangui returned to Ningyuan and sent a holy decree to let him go south, does he dare to resist the decree?
At this time, Wu Sangui must not dare to resist the order.
But he will grind, and then a conflict will suddenly break out on Ning Yuan's side, so he can't leave again.
Why did the conflict suddenly erupt?
You taste, you taste.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wu Sangui, who was trembling slightly, and knew that he was extremely angry in his heart, but he didn't say anything, but said with a sincere face: "If you go south and win, I will knight you!" ”
"Really?" Wu Sangui blurted out, and his body trembled even more.
Why must you be in Ningyuan, it is not to defend the country, support the army, and get more and greater benefits from the imperial court, since Emperor Chongzhen has promised, it does not necessarily have to be in Ningyuan.
It's just that Emperor Chongzhen's words are not reliable.
"You have no jokes, Zhou Yuji and Tang Tonghuang are the best proof" Emperor Chongzhen said: "What you have done in the past few years is in my eyes, and the matter of being knighted and you sooner or later is just a little lacking at the moment, but this time you helped Chang Yu to go south to quell the chaos successfully, and I will never break my word!" ”
Wu Sangui returned home with an extremely complicated mood, and told his father Wu Xiang about it, Wu Xiang was also dumbfounded, Emperor Chongzhen and the little eunuch actually played such a hand, although Emperor Chongzhen promised a good thing to be knighted, but for him and the little eunuch This method, the father and son are angry, and it is difficult to let go for a while, but they don't dare to scold Emperor Chongzhen, but the ancestors of the Changyu family can't hide.
Subsequently, Wu Sangui asked the second assistant Wu Fu to come, and informed him at this time, Wu Fu was furious, he didn't say anything about the little eunuch and Emperor Chongzhen joining forces with Wu Sangui, but Ning Yuan is the gate of the Ming Dynasty, and the stakes are so important that the crime of treason will be guarded many times, it is really too child's play.
No, Wu Fu can't sit still, he has to go into the palace to scold the street, such a big thing is even made by himself without consulting with the cabinet, is this the hell the cabinet as a decoration.
When Wu Fu hurriedly entered the palace, Wu Sangui also went out of the city, and he could finally go out of the city.
In the east of the city, on the bank of the Tonghui River, where Gao Jie and others were originally stationed, there was a group of soldiers and horses camped here, and it was the five thousand iron horsemen who galloped from outside the pass without tireless efforts.
The leader of the troops was none other than Wu Sangui's henchman, Shen Jianghu.
Shen Jianghu, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, heard that Wu Sangui was coming, so he hurriedly went to see him, and before he finished his congratulations, he was slapped by Wu Sangui and his eyes were starry.
"Raise you useless thing for nothing, who let you in!" Wu Sangui shouted angrily, there were three things in his heart, the first was Emperor Chongzhen and the little eunuch Yin him, the second was to let Zu Dashou dove occupy the magpie's nest, and the third was that his subordinates were abducted so easily, and they dared to leave the city without their own troop transfer order.
Shen Jianghu was called an injustice, covering his red and swollen face, and the future of the dragon was said, Wu Sangui was even more frightened and angry, and the dog eunuch actually made a fake order to transfer troops, the handwriting, and the seal...... Dog's day is full of everything.
At this time, Shen Jianghu and other generals also knew that they had been deceived by Chang Yu, and they were angry, and shouted that they wanted to go to Beijing to ask the little eunuch for an explanation, otherwise they would go back to Ningyuan directly.
"Are you going to rebel?" Wu Sangui shouted angrily!
If there was no Emperor Chongzhen behind him, how could the little eunuch dare to act so boldly, and it was not all the emperor's intention.
"The brothers have been tricked like this, it's hard to forget it!" Shen Jianghu's anger was hard to dissipate, and he didn't dare to scold the emperor and could only scold Chang Yu, he thought he was a bright and upright man, but he didn't want the eunuch to be a eunuch after all, and he was very yin.
It is a foregone conclusion that the southward movement will not be able to come back for a year and a half, at that time, Ningyuan City, which was already under the full control of Zu Dashou, if the southward movement is not successful, the once most powerful warlord will become an ordinary general soldier who is homeless, has no soldiers, and is at the disposal of the imperial court.
Therefore, it is necessary to make a desperate bet and fight for the title.
Looking at the five thousand iron horses, Wu Sangui knew that this was his last capital: "I, Wu Sangui, swear here today that if I succeed in the future, I will share the glory with you!" ”
Shen Jianghu and the others first felt a little inexplicable when the main general suddenly said these words, but when Wu Sangui said what Emperor Chongzhen promised him, everyone understood, and they all made an uproar, shouting in unison: "I am willing to make contributions with the general!" ”
