Chapter 101: Wu Sangui Arrives
"Gao Dejie! You traitor to the court! The imperial court is not kind to your Pingxi Palace, why don't you want to repay the favor, but betray the imperial court? Seeing Gao Dejie, Feiyangu cursed and rode forward. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Dog Tartar! Lao Tzu is Han! Gao Dejie roared angrily and greeted him with a spear.
In real history, Gao Dejie has always advised Wu Sangui to oppose the Qing Dynasty, and it was he who killed Zhu Guozhi with his own hands and avenged the Jiangnan scholars who suffered in the three major Jiangnan cases. In the battle against the Qing Dynasty, Gao Dejie defeated Yue Le. Yue Le's talent is far above Tuhai, but he is not a high opponent.
Later, Gao Dejie died young, coupled with Wu Sangui's old age and death, which made Wu Jun lose his backbone, and finally let Kangxi, who was so lucky, win.
Gao Dejie's martial arts are strong, how is Feiyangu an opponent! The two sides only exchanged two rounds before Feiyangu was picked up by Gao Dejie with a single shot.
As soon as Feiyangu died, the Qing army completely lost its fighting spirit, Wauch died in the chaos, and Sunahai refused to surrender after being captured, and was pushed down and cut down by Gao Dejie's order. Only a few dozen of the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners fled, and the rest were either killed or captured by the Qiongzhou and Wu armies.
"General Gao, these Tartars were captured after we broke through Xiangyang and pursued them for several days, and I hope General Gao will hand over these prisoners to us." Wang Zihao saw Gao Dejie and stepped forward to salute.
Gao Dejie laughed: "These Tartars are about to be beheaded, I don't know what the use of General Wang going back?" ”
"Killing prisoners is ominous! Although they are Tartars, except for a group of officers and leaders who have committed the most heinous crimes, we will not kill the rest of the soldiers. Our army's mine plantations needed coolies, and these Tartars were just sent to work as coolies. Wang Zihao explained.
When the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners were taken back, they could not only be used as coolies, but also after a few years of labor and education, as long as they sincerely repented, they could be turned into Han Chinese. The Ming Dynasty, with Wang Yu as the main backbone, wanted to implement an expansion policy and emigrate overseas, but it was far from enough to rely on the current number of Han Chinese. The same yellow-skinned and black-haired East Asians, as long as they are not fanatical people who believe in the Green Religion, can be assimilated into Han Chinese.
One more person, one more strength, even a Tartar can be transformed. As long as they are sent overseas to work as coolies for a few years, and then sent outside to expand, and see more whites, blacks, and greens, they will have a sense of identity with their skin color, and eventually expand their territory with the Han people, and their descendants will also become Han Chinese.
The Qing army in Xiangyang did not slaughter the city, nor did it owe any blood debt, so there was no need for the Qiongzhou army to kill prisoners.
Gao Dejie heard that he was going to send the Qing army prisoners to be used as coolies, so he agreed: "Okay, since this is the case, then so-and-so will hand over the Tartar to General Wang!" ”
"General Gao is a cheerful person! In this case, Wang will not let General Gao suffer a loss, and the captured tartars can be bought by Wang with silver. "The prince is proud.
Wu Sangui also heard the news of the Ming army's attack on Xiangyang, so he sent troops from Hanzhong to prepare to attack Nanyang and cut off the retreat of the Qing army in Xiangyang. Originally, according to Wu Sangui's plan, when the Qiongzhou army attacked Xiangyang, Wu Sangui took the lead to seize Nanyang and cut off the retreat of the Qing army. Who knew that the offensive of the Qiongzhou army was much faster than the original plan, but in half a month, the Qing army in Xiangyang was cocooned and used its own tricks to trap itself, causing Xiangyang City to be quickly broken by the Ming army.
At this time, Wu Sangui's pioneer officer Gao Dejie had not yet had time to arrive at Nanyang City.
The news that Wu Sangui's vanguard arrived near Nanyang naturally couldn't hide the Qiongzhou army, which was full of spies. After receiving the news that Wu Sangui's vanguard had left Hanzhong and was preparing to attack Nanyang, Wang Xinyu immediately sent an envoy to invite Wu Sangui to Xiangyang.
It was also when Gao Dejie met with Wang Zihao that the messenger who set out from Xiangyang City quickly whipped up his horse and came to the outside of Wu Sangui's barracks.
"Report to the commander! The envoy of the Qiongzhou army is here! "There have already been pro-soldiers who reported to Wu Sangui.
The envoy met Wu Sangui and handed over an invitation letter to Wu Sangui, inviting Wu Sangui to go to Xiangyang to meet with Wang Yu. In the invitation letter, Wang Yu told Wu Sangui that Wu Sangui could take the army to Xiangyang, and the two sides would meet in Xiangyang to discuss the future Northern Expedition, and the Qiongzhou army would also provide Wu Sangui with a batch of ammunition and food.
"Hahaha!" Wu Sangui laughed, "Then how can King Nan say that he is also the grandson-in-law of this domain, and this domain should also go to see his grandson-in-law, do you say?" ”
Wu Yingqi, Xia Guoxiang, He Jinzhong and others all echoed and congratulated Wu Sangui.
At this moment, another soldier outside came to report: "Report to the commander!" Someone came to join our army, saying that he was a general of the naval division and was willing to serve our army! ”
"Who is it?" Wu Sangui asked.
The pro-soldier reported: "The person who came claimed to be Lin Xingzhu and brought his family to defect. ”
Since he brought his family to vote, it means that he must have surrendered sincerely. So Wu Sangui nodded: "Let him in!" Our army lacks a general of the Sailor Division, and if this person is really talented, he can be reused. ”
Since Lin Xingzhu was defeated in the Battle of Changhu Lake in Jingzhou, he did not go to Xiangyang to join the Qing army, but disguised himself as a commoner, secretly fled back to his home, and took his family out. Originally, he planned to take his family to Xiangyang to defect to the Qiongzhou Army, but He Yingyuan advised him that the Qiongzhou Army was not short of sailor talents, and it was impossible to get high-ranking officials if he defected to the Qiongzhou Army.
"But can Wu Sangui use a water master?" Lin Xingzhu was reluctant to defect to Wu Sangui at first.
He Yingyuan told Lin Xingzhu: "At present, King Pingxi does not have a water master, but it does not mean that there will be no water master in the future!" The king of Pingxi is about to go on the Northern Expedition and wants to cross the Yellow River, doesn't this require a sailor? In the future, if you seize Beijing, you will have to fight to Shanhaiguan and recover Liaodong, will you not need a sailor at that time? ”
In the end, He Yingyuan struck while the iron was hot and said: "Just because King Pingxi does not have a water division, we can go and form a water division, then the commander of the water division is you, the general!" There is a saying that it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. If you go to the King of the South Sea, you can only be an unknown phoenix tail; went to the king of Pingxi, it was the head of the chicken! ”
was moved by He Yingyuan's words, so Lin Xingzhu took his family and went straight to Wu Sangui's camp.
Lin Xingzhu, Luo Shizhen, He Yingyuan and others stepped into Wu Sangui's Chinese army tent. As soon as they saw Wu Sangui, Lin Xingzhu and the others knelt on the ground: "The last general, Lin Xingzhu, was originally the chief general of the Jingzhou Navy Master of the Tartar puppet dynasty, and because he didn't want to work for the Tartars, he came to join the prince!" I hope to play for the prince! ”
Wu Sangui naturally heard Lin Xingzhu's name, and when he saw the three of them, Wu Sangui laughed: "Everyone, please get up!" With your help, this clan will have a sailor in the future! ”
