Chapter 140: The Secret Purpose is Not Secret (The content of Chapter 140 and Chapter 139 are reversed and have been changed)
Wu Sangui's eyes are quite big, and now they are about to catch up with the copper bell!
His father turned out to be not Cao Cao, but was pulled onto a thief ship by a reincarnated crown prince like Cao Cao...... No, it's supposed to be a dragon boat!
If this prince is really as powerful as Feng Yuanyang said, then wouldn't the Ming Dynasty be prosperous? So he and the third child can be mixed up in the future, right?
One family, two princes, and a queen will catch up with Xu Da's descendants......
Wu Sangui's big eyes turned and turned, and he had already begun to think about his future. The future of one family, two kingdoms and one queen cannot be given by the Qing Dynasty, let alone Li Zicheng. Therefore, taking refuge in Zhu Cihong is the first and most natural choice. Moreover, Wu Sangui was originally a courtier of the Zhu family, and he was loyal to Zhu Cihong. If you surrender to Shun, you are all worthless ministers!
But the question is, can Daming still be saved?
If Beijing was still in the hands of the Ming court, then Wu Sangui would not consider voting for another Ming master, but now the Ming Dynasty has lost half of the world, and half of it is still ...... It's hard to preserve!
"Ping Xibo," Feng Yuanyang took out an envelope at this time, handed it to Wu Sangui, and said with a smile, "This is a letter from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please take a look...... The prince instructed you to read the letter first, and then we will talk about it after reading it. ”
Is this going to seal the official and make a wish to win over Wu Sangui?
Wang Yongji and Tian Cunzhi both looked at Wu Sangui with a sour gaze, and took Zhu Cihong's handwritten letter with both hands.
This is not a decree, but a letter from home. It is a family letter written by Zhu Cihong to his second uncle, but what is said in the family letter is still the general trend of the world.
Zhu Cihong did not make an analysis from the position of Wu Sangui as a prince and a monarch, but as a brother-in-law.
According to the analysis of Zhu Cihong, a good brother-in-law of the Ming Dynasty, there are now three strategies in front of Wu Sangui.
Of course, Shang Ce immediately took the Wu family Ding Fuhai to the south. Shen Tingyang has more than 100 large sea boats in his hands, and it is not difficult for about 20,000 people and horses to be transported away. The Wu family plus their dependents will never exceed 20,000 people. As long as Wu Sangui is willing to go, he can transport them to Denglai at any time.
When Wu Sangui arrived in Shandong, Zhu Cihong named him the Duke of Lai, and set up an envoy to command the capital of Shandong to govern Denglai, and Wu Sangui and his descendants were in the town!
The middle strategy is that Wu Sangui will not move to the Shanhai Pass, do not take the initiative to attack, and do not lead the eastern captives into the customs. Just hold the throat of Shanhaiguan and watch the thieves fight, wait for the Donglu to break the thieves and break through Beijing, and then cooperate with the imperial army to try to restore the Beijing division. After the matter is completed, the imperial court will move south to Yingtian, and the land of the northern Zhili will be handed over to Wu Sangui to stay in the town, and Zhu Cihong will also make him the Duke of Yanguo, and his descendants will be hereditary Beijing garrison.
As for the next strategy, of course, it is to lead the East into Shanhaiguan. If you borrow troops to help you suppress it, it will become a wolf into the house! That's a big problem!
Dongyu has been peeping into the Central Plains for more than ten years, and the soldiers are strong and strong, far superior to the official army and the rogue, once there is a shortcut from the entrance of Liaodong Shanhaiguan, it can be anti-guest-oriented, plotting against the Central Plains.
If Wu Sangui must make this decision, then after the Dongyu defeated the Liukou, he immediately waved his army to pursue and enter Shanxi to occupy Taiyuan Mansion as the fundamental place. At that time, Zhu Cihong will make him the Duke of Jin, the commander of Shanxi, and govern the central and southern parts of Shanxi, and the descendants will inherit Yongzhen!
The three strategies given by Zhu Cihong, no matter up, middle or down, all gave Wu Sangui the title of Duke of Guo and the privileges of Yongzhen's side, which can be said to be full of sincerity! Not only is it full, but the bids are high. Regardless of Dashun and Daqing, they will not give any higher bids - even if it is Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi in history, the land of Yungui under his jurisdiction cannot be compared with the territory of Shanxi, Shandong, and Beijing! Although the territory of Yunnan and Guizhou is large, the population is sparse and the land is barren, and it has always been regarded as a wild land.
When Feng Yuanyang saw Wu Sangui put away the letter, he knew that he had read it, so he smiled and said: "Master Chitose gave three strategies, I don't know what Ping Xibo means?" ”
Wu Sangui frowned, "There are 50,000 troops here in Shanhaiguan, and hundreds of thousands of family members and people accompanying the army...... This is the best policy, not unwilling, but impossible. ”
"Then let's do the middle way," Feng Yuanyang stroked his beard, "Now it's the battle between the Liukou and the Dongyu, there are 50,000 troops here in Shanhaiguan, and there is a danger in the mountains." Presumably, neither side of the captives nor the thieves will take the initiative to provoke the Guanning army, so it should be feasible to wait and see. ”
Wu Sangui said: "But there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians here in Shanhaiguan, and the daily consumption is amazing, and the grain and grass stored in the customs are only enough for three or two months, how should Wu deal with it?" ”
"Isn't three or two months enough?" Feng Yuanyang said with a smile, "The Dongyu side has already started to gather people, right?" From Shenyang to bypass the mountains of western Liaoning, and then break through Yanshan, one month is enough. These days, the thieves have been wantonly torturing and plundering in Beijing, and the people's hearts have been lost, and they will never dare to defend the city, but will only fight a decisive battle in the wilderness. So within three months, the Jingshi will inevitably change hands again. At that time, if the Dongyu can't get through the Shanhaiguan Pass, and the back road is threatened by Dongjiang Town, they may be plundered away. ”
"Dongjiang Town?"
"The imperial court wants to reopen Dongjiang Town?"
"Isn't that going to provoke Mao Dongyu?"
Wu Sangui, Wang Yongji and Tian Cunzhi were all taken aback. At that time, Dongjiang Town, under the auspices of Mao Wenlong, was a sharp knife stuck in Dongyu's back! Although it could not defeat the army of Dongyu on land, Dongjiang Town's base was Phi Island on the sea, and it relied on the sailors and the sand boat gang to control the sea routes, so it could harass the invaders everywhere along the long coastline of Liaodong. made Dongyu very uncomfortable, and at the same time hated Dongjiang Town to the bone.
If Zhu Cihong really wants to open Dongjiang Town again, then I'm afraid Dongyu will jump again!
In this way, how can we still make peace? If he can't negotiate peace with the East Prisoners, Daming will still be trapped between the captives and thieves, what other way out?
This prince seems to be similar to his father Chongzhen, and he is a little taken for granted......
Wu Sangui, Wang Yongji, and Tian Cunzhi exchanged glances with each other, and Tian Cunzhi said: "Feng Futai, it's really not a secret, these days Shanhaiguan is isolated from the imperial court, and I don't know if the Holy Lord and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are out of danger."
His Royal Highness was escorted by Zu Zepu and Qiu Zhizhong a few days ago...... Therefore, after discussing with Ping Xibo and Wang Zhitai, our family felt that they could borrow troops from Dongyu, so they sent Zu Zepu to Shenyang as an envoy. ”
"Oh, King Ding is out of danger...... King Nayong, the five princes, and Concubine Yuan Guifei......"
"It's all in the hands of thieves!"
Feng Yuanyang nodded, noncommittal. "It's okay to send an envoy to Shenyang, the eastern captives are going to send troops...... When the time comes, close the Shanhaiguan Pass and let them walk around. ”
Tian Cunzhi asked: "Do you want to send King Dingkou to Dagukou?" ”
Feng Yuanyang still didn't answer, but said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still doesn't know much about the situation here in Shanhaiguan, so you might as well go out and go south with the old man and go to the south with the old man, and go and talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in person." ”
This is as it should be, Wu Sangui, Wang Yongji, and Tian Cunzhi looked at each other.
Wang Yongji said: "Ping Xibo is the main general, and he can't leave Shanhaiguan...... Why don't you just let the lower officials go? ”
Tian Cunzhi also said: "Our family is ordered to go to Shanhaiguan to do business, and now it is time to go back to the saint to return to his life." ”
Feng Yuanyang just smiled, and his eyes turned to Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui is also an interesting person, and he knew that Feng Yuanyang must have brought a secret edict over, so he arched his hand and said: "Benjue is going to inspect the military camp, so don't pass it over." ”
The barracks will not go today...... After all, Chen Yuanyuan came with Feng Yuanyang! Of course, Wu Sangui had to go to meet the beautiful woman.
In addition, Chen Yuanyuan must have brought Wu Xiang's handwritten letter, he had to take a good look at it, and then discuss countermeasures with his staff.
