Chapter 558: Li Benshen's Death
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Just bring my words to Daniel Zhang, don't worry, he will definitely understand what I mean." ”
Since ancient times, all the generals who surrender must be given to them to add officials to the knights, so that they can be in high positions, but this is just a temporary appeasement, once the wind has passed, the situation changes, these former high-ranking officials will immediately become their life-threatening talismans, those high-ranking officials are old brothers who fight the world with the emperor, and you dare to be on an equal footing with others as an enemy general who came halfway?
Therefore, Cheng Xiaolian asked Yu Qiuhai to bring back a sentence to Daniel Zhang, if the surrender official position does not move, he wants the high-ranking official Houlu to take it with his own ability, if he does not surrender, the army will come in an instant, and there will be no piece of armor left at that time.
Daniel Zhang smiled bitterly after hearing the news brought back by Yu Qiuhai, this His Royal Highness Daming is really ingenious, speaking in his heart, if His Royal Highness Daming really made him an official wish, he would be a little afraid to go, after all, they are opponents, he now only has two thousand men and horses, no matter how big the official is, once he is hollowed out, then he will be a fish on the chopping board.
So Cheng Xiaolian said that his official position is not moving, if he wants the high-ranking official Houlu to fight by himself, he is a little tempted, at this time, as long as he can have the opportunity to fight again, he may not be able to make a comeback, if he continues to be so deadlocked, he will have to be wiped out, even if he escapes, Kangxi will not let him go, Shaanxi's defeat is already Kangxi's last bottom line, this time the army entered Sichuan, the plan failed, he has completely lost all his capital, even if it is Tuhai's Manchu banner people, he has been removed from his post, He is just a Han man, there is no life-saving charm, Tuhai still has a chance to make a comeback, he has absolutely no chance.
Thinking of this, he sighed, thinking that he had fought for the Manchu Qing Dynasty for 30 years, and now he wanted to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, which is really ironic.
The news of Daniel Zhang's army's defeat in Sichuan soon reached the imperial court, and Kangxi was furious and immediately issued an order for Daniel Zhang to make up for his merits, and Kaichun cooperated with Cai Yurong to attack Shaanxi. In fact, at this time, he already had the idea of replacing Daniel Zhang, Daniel Zhang has been defeated repeatedly, and the feelings accumulated by defeating Wang ~ Fuchen before are gone, and now what remains is that the situation is forced to be helpless, if there is a change of generals at this time, not to mention that there are no suitable generals around, even if there are people who can fight, these people in Gansu may not be able to play except for Daniel Zhang.
So Kangxi put up with this bad breath for the time being, and began to let people prepare the food, grass and ordnance needed for front-line operations.
But before the envoy from there could go to Gansu, news immediately came that Daniel Zhang had returned to the Former Ming, and it was said that the court of the Former Ming had appointed Daniel Zhang as the governor of Gansu.
Kangxi was so angry that he smashed a set of tea sets in his bedroom, but when he appeared in front of the courtiers, he regained his light and breezy expression, he was no longer the child he was at the beginning, and his joy and anger were invisible, which was a basic quality as a king.
Suo Etu looked at Kangxi's face and didn't see anything, so he didn't say anything in a hurry.
Kangxi coughed: "I just received an eight-hundred-li rush today, saying that Daniel Zhang, the governor of Gansu, led the people to surrender to Qianming, do you have anything to say?" ”
All the people did not speak, just stared at Suo Etu, Daniel Zhang was able to be the governor of Gansu, thanks to his door, and he has always had a good relationship with him, otherwise Mo Luo went to Shaanxi, and would not have been busy with Daniel Zhang bullying Wang ~ auxiliary ministers until he forced Wang ~ auxiliary ministers.
Suo Etu also had to come out to speak at this time: "The slave is blind, let this unfed beast deceive for so many years, the master gave me a horse, and the slave went to cut off the head of this beast!" ”
Kangxi sneered in his heart, Suo Etu's role is getting more and more sufficient, since he pacified Ao Bai and gained power, he has been a little public, but in the past, Kangxi was still able to suppress it, at this time, the rebellion of the three feudatories and the rebellion of the former Ming court, Suo Etu became more and more unbridled, and now he has learned to behave coyly.
Kangxi, who was furious, wanted to really give him a team of men and let him go to quell the chaos, but he still didn't say this sentence when he calmed down, Suo Etu was not a simple Suo family behind him, and now the chaos outside was serious enough, so he didn't want to make trouble for Jingshi anymore.
"What Master Suo said, this traitor not only deceived you, but also deceived Shu, and he hated that he could not break his body into ten thousand pieces, but now the weather is cold, and it is not good to send troops, and besides, Cai Yurong is in Shanxi with an army of 100,000, once the time is ripe, he will definitely be able to destroy the traitor of Qianming and the traitor Daniel Zhang, and it will not be too late for us to take revenge at that time."
At this moment, a civil official hurriedly ran in: "Eight hundred miles urgent!" ”
Generally speaking, this kind of news must not stop at all, and it must be confronted immediately, even a few ministers who walked in the study did not dare to hold this kind of fold.
Kangxi's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word, if there was information about the defeat again at this time, he might not be able to hold back his temper.
The eunuch waiting next to him walked closer, checked the letter, confirmed that there was no problem, and stretched out his hand to Kangxi: "Master." ”
Kangxi took the letter, glanced at it hurriedly, stood up abruptly and patted the dragon chair beside him, and the ministers around him were all startled, and they didn't dare to take a breath, for fear of being implicated.
Kangxi said loudly: "Prince Kang Jieshu defeated Li Benshen of Wu Sangui in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, beheaded Li Benshen, killed more than 30,000 enemies, and greatly strengthened the Qing army, God bless me in the Qing Dynasty!" ”
The courtiers below knelt down in a row: "God bless the Qing Dynasty, God bless the emperor!" ”
The news soon spread to Cheng Xiaolian, but the news he got was much more detailed, saying that Li Benshen was depressed because of the loss of power, and he divided his troops to garrison Yangzhou.
Since Wu Sangui occupied Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Jieshu held back the fire in his belly, and now the enemies are very red when they meet, and they immediately become a mess.
Who knew that most of the soldiers under Li Benshen were recruits assigned to him by Wu Sangui, and a small number of veterans brought out by himself could not withstand the offensive of the Manchu army at all, and as a result, they were defeated, not only did they lose their heads, but even Yangzhou City was taken by Jieshu.
Cheng Xiaolian sighed lightly after reading this information: "Wu Sangui is still old, if he divides the troops, how can he divide all the recruits, Li Benshen already has a grudge in his heart, how to fight to the death this time, it is estimated that Jieshu will not have any major damage at all." ”
Chen Chengan laughed: "But Li Benshen rushed to Yangzhou, and he ran into Jieshu, if you want to say that this matter is not premeditated, I don't believe it very much." It's either Xia Guoxiang or Hu Guozhu, Li Benshen died unjustly. ”
