Wu Sangui took advantage of the opportunity to exterminate the invading army and seized the cities around Hanzhong, such as Nanjiang, Hanchang, Bazhou, Langzhong, and Jiangkou, in one go. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info many local Han gentry and mountain people's toast to vote.

After all, after Wu Sangui returned to the Ming Dynasty, his brand was still better than breaking into the camp. In the eyes of those gentry and toasts, the loyal battalion was changed from the camp to the Qing court, but the locals were unwilling to defect to the Qing court, so they chose to cooperate with the loyal camp temporarily. Now that Wu Sangui has returned to the Ming Dynasty, those gentry and toasts have naturally taken refuge in the past.

In real history, Wu Sangui had considerable roots in northern Sichuan and Hanzhong, and after Wu Sangui's rebellion, the gentry and Tusi in northern Sichuan and southern Shaanxi responded one after another. During the rebellion of the three feudatories, Hanzhong took the initiative to take refuge in Wu Sangui.

With the foundation laid by Wu Sangui before, the lands of northern Sichuan and southern Shaanxi fell into the hands of Wu Sangui.

For a time, Wu Sangui's strength soared, and he obtained grain and grass supplies in the local area, expanded his territory, and had a certain amount of tax and grain income. However, it is not easy for Wu Sangui to completely destroy the camp, after all, after so many years of guerrilla warfare, the Kuidong Righteous Army has enough experience in mountain warfare, and the Kuidong Righteous Army can also get food supplies from the Qiongzhou Army, Wu Sangui can only sit and control their territory at best, and cannot completely eliminate them.

As for the surge of Wu Sangui's power, Wang Xinyu was not worried at all, because Wu Sangui himself had contracted the bad habit of smoking the Eight Banners Special Offerings, and the Eight Banners Special Offerings provided by Wang Xinyu to Wu Sangui contained a special medicine made by himself. If Wu Sangui refuses to listen to Yao Qisheng's advice and insists on going his own way, then as long as Wang Xinyu adds another medicine to the next batch of Eight Banners special offerings to Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui will be able to fall ill immediately, and it won't be long before he dies. As long as Wu Sangui died, Wu Jun would lose his backbone.

Wu Sangui's life is completely in the hands of Wang Xinyu, and the reason why Wu Sangui is not allowed to die for the time being is to let Wu Sangui consume the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Yao Qisheng, who was sent to Hanzhong, went all the way and was shocked by the speed of Wu Sangui's expansion.

Yao Qisheng said to his son Yao Yi: "This Wu Sangui, although he is in Yungui, his hand is stretched out!" Northern Sichuan and southern Shaanxi have long been mixed with sand by him! The loyalty camp originally had a bad reputation in the eyes of the gentry, so how could it be Wu Sangui's opponent? This Wu Sangui is also far-sighted! ”

Yao Yi asked, "Father, what is the purpose of Wu Sangui to install so many cronies?" ”

Yao Qisheng replied: "This person is a generation of heroes, although he has no ambitions and only seeks a corner of peace, but the Tartar court has repeatedly cut the domain, which makes Wu Sangui feel uneasy, he just wants to get more chips for himself." But today, Wu Sangui created a rebellion against the Tartar court, and these people just happened to be used. ”

Father and son along the Jialing River boat upstream, when the southeast wind season, the car and boat raised a full sail, with the help of the wind can go upstream, meet the rapid river section, the sailors on the boat step on the pedal, provide power, so that the car and boat can easily pass through the turbulent river section. Originally, through this section of the river, it was necessary for a slender man to pull a boat on the shore, but now it can be dispensed with.

The fleet arrived in the upper reaches of the Jialing River, and after arriving at Yangping Pass, it disembarked and transported it by vehicle, and soon arrived in Hanzhong.

In Hanzhong City, Wu Sangui received a report: "Marshal Qiyu, the messenger of the Qiongzhou Army is here!" He also brought a lot of gifts, saying that he wanted to give them to you. In addition, the messenger was followed by a thousand elite soldiers. ”

"Hurry up and let him in!" Hearing that it was the Qiongzhou army that came to make an envoy, Wu Sangui asked people to welcome the envoy in immediately.

Yao Qisheng walked into Wu Sangui's mansion and bowed to Wu Sangui: "Humble Yao Qisheng, I have seen the prince!" ”

If it was someone else, I am afraid that Wu Sangui's left and right would have drunk the order to make the envoy kneel, but Yao Qisheng is Wang Xinyu's messenger, and Wu Sangui's left and right would dare.

Wu Sangui leaned back in his chair, and his eyes emitted a fine light, piercing Yao Qisheng's eyes: "Mr. Yao is the second military advisor of the king of Nanyang County, why did he come here in person?" But what's the point? ”

"Back to the prince! The humble duty was ordered to send a small gift to the prince, which is a little caution for the lowly lord! After speaking, Yao Qisheng presented the gift list with both hands.

Wu Sangui took the gift list, looked at it roughly, and saw that it read: 500 quintals of special offerings for the Eight Banners, 2,000 boxes of Nanyang Double Happiness cigarettes, 10,000 taels of silver, 1,000 taels of gold, 3,000 stones of military rations, 2,000 pieces of cloth, 5,000 flintlock guns, 300 Don hippos, and 10,000 catties of gunpowder......

Looking at the gift list, Wu Sangui was overjoyed, but on the surface, he showed an arrogant look: "Mr. Yao, as the saying goes, there is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief, may I ask why the king of Nanhai County wants to give such a generous gift to this domain?" ”

Yao Qisheng replied calmly: "Lord Wang! Because Miss Wu is the granddaughter of the prince, the lord ordered her to send this small gift! But our lord has another gift to give to the prince! ”

"What other gifts?" Wu Sangui hurriedly asked.

Yao Qisheng took out a map from his sleeve and presented it with both hands: "The marked territory on the map is to hope that the prince can send troops to occupy it!" As long as it is beaten down by the prince, it will be the prince's in the future! ”

Wu Sangui opened the map, only to see that it was a very large map, from Shanhaiguan to Outer Mongolia, to the Beihai (Lake Baikal) area, all marked with marks, which meant that it would be Wu Sangui's territory.

"Hahaha!" Wu Sangui suddenly burst out laughing, "What a good idea for that grandson-in-law of this domain!" I want this clan to work hard for him in front, and I can enjoy it in the back! ”

Yao Qisheng also laughed: "Lord Wang, if you are unwilling to fight these territories, do you think with the strength of Lord Yao, can you take these territories?" ”

Wu Sangui put away his smile and thought for a moment, he knew very well the strength of the Qiongzhou army, not to mention destroying the Manchu Qing alone, expanding the territory, seizing the territory, even if it was easy to destroy himself, it would not be a problem. However, he still had a hard mouth: "Mr. Yao, although the king of Nanhai County has sharp firearms and strong troops, does he have so many people to occupy so much territory?" In addition, Yungui is not marked on this map, what will happen to this Yungui in the future? ”

"Yungui for the capital! How is it? Yao Qisheng asked rhetorically.

Wu Sangui said: "That means, let this domain attack the capital?" ”

"Yes!" Yao Qisheng stroked his beard and nodded, "As long as the prince is willing to attack the capital, Lord Yao is willing to help, whether it is firearms, armor, or food, the supply can be guaranteed!" ”

Of course, after Wu Sangui seized the capital, of course Wang Xinyu could not really give the capital to Wu Sangui, and it was impossible for Wu Sangui to sit firmly in the capital. It's really a last resort, as long as you send some special offerings of the Eight Banners with added materials to Wu Sangui, all the problems will be solved.
