Section 3 Pressure (Down)

Half a month ago, Kunming.

Although the Jin king strictly forbade his subordinates to discuss the court and the cabinet, the dissatisfaction of the people in the Jin king's palace with the exiled court continued to grow.

Soon after Deng Ming returned to Sichuan, the Jin Dynasty received an edict from the Yongli Imperial Court. After seeing the title given to Deng Ming, the entire Jin Palace's palace was shaken, and he felt that this was a great neglect of the meritorious hero, and Li Dingguo was even more worried that Deng Ming would be furious - if Deng Ming was really not a clan; And the greater danger is that Li Dingguo's hard work will be in vain, and Deng Ming, who has accepted the agreement, is not bound by anything because of the miserliness of the imperial court, which is to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.

Therefore, Li Dingguo did not immediately send the holy decree to Fengjie and Chengdu, and his son Li Siye did not immediately set off for western Sichuan, but quickly sent an envoy to Burma to implore the Son of Heaven and the imperial court to retract the decree. Li Dingguo planned to wait for the imperial court to change its mind, and then let Jin Shizi go to western Sichuan with the new decree of the imperial court to consolidate the relationship between the two families.

But the Son of Heaven refused to change his will. By taking this trip, the envoys of the Jin King's Mansion also understood that the key was still the Son of Heaven, and the cabinet told the envoy that this was completely the emperor's intention, and the cabinet elders fully agreed with the opinion of the King of Jin. And after some pondering, Li Dingguo and the people of the Jin Palace's Mansion finally understood that the emperor's holy decree was not stingy or looking down on Deng Ming, but faintly doubting the meaning of Li Dingguo, the king of Jin.

There were already many people in the Jin Palace's dissatisfaction with the Son of Heaven, and when the people who figured out the reason reminded those who had not yet understood, they were outraged within a few days, and at this time, Li Dingguo's ban was also issued, and no one was allowed to discuss or guess the meaning of the emperor's holy decree, so that the rumors could be controlled and did not cause further commotion.

As soon as this holy decree came out, Li Dingguo felt that his crumbling fake Huang Yue's authority was further weakened. If the prince was allowed to go to Chengdu with this holy decree, it is estimated that he would be secretly ridiculed by the other party - but if you consider the intention behind the Son of Heaven, the holy decree still played his due role, successfully keeping Kunming and Chengdu in check.

In the end, Li Dingguo asked his son to go to Fengjie to find Wen Anzhi with this holy decree, let Wen Anzhi pass it on from generation to generation, save his family embarrassment, and then observe the operation of that committee by the way.

Li Siye held back his anger and protested to his father: "Last time, the cabinet asked the emperor to appoint King Lu as the prison country, and it was useless to let my father oppose it. This time, the cabinet is not stirring, and the emperor is here again, and as soon as this holy decree is issued, anyone can see that the emperor is engaged in checks and balances again. ”

"Checks and balances ministers are the right way, and the fake Huang Yue for the father is indeed a little too heavy, and the checks and balances for the father are also regarded as the minister." Li Dingguo is very open-minded: "We have been thieves before." ”

Since Li Dingguo insisted, Li Siye had no choice but to be unwilling and reluctant to go on the road.

Jin Shizi walked for less than half a month, and another urgent report arrived, saying that Wu Sangui in Guizhou had made abnormal moves, and the Qing army in Guizhou suddenly took action after the autumn harvest. Now the strength of the Ming army in Yunnan is relatively poor, so Kunming has been on guard against Guizhou, after reaching an agreement with Deng Ming, Li Dingguo, who has no worries, turned all his reconnaissance forces to the east, and Wu Sangui only made a move there, Kunming got the news.

When Li Dingguo heard the news, he ordered the whole province to be on alert, and Kunming was under martial law. After a few more days, as more news came, the Jin Palace's palace finally concluded that Wu Sangui's target this time was the Shuixian family, and the excuse was that the An family decided to respond to Li Dingguo and raise troops against the Qing Dynasty in the name of the Ming royal family and the Jin king.

In Deng Ming's previous life, the An family was exterminated by Wu Sangui for exactly the same reason, and the orphans of the An family who escaped were pardoned because they stood on the side of the Qing court during the rebellion of the three feudatories. The descendants of the An family claimed that Wu Sangui was right, and that they had raised an army against the Qing Dynasty because of their loyalty and the kindness of Li Dingguo, and the Qing court also expressed their understanding and appreciation for this loyalty.

It's just that now, after the Jin Wangfu knew that it was the An family who was unlucky, there was a burst of schadenfreude. As early as the Wanli period, An Jia and another local snake in the luxury family raised troops to turn the tables, creating a rebellion that shook several provinces in the southwest and the war lasted for ten years.

In order to defend the people of the southwest and resist the looting of Anjia, Wanli invested more than 100,000 soldiers in Yungui and millions of taels of military spending. Anjia's rebellion undoubtedly echoed Nurhachi's rebellion in the northeast, which made the Ming Dynasty even worse - if we only look at the scope of the war between Wanli and Tianqi, the number of people affected, and the troops and military expenses invested by the imperial court, it seems that the rebellion of luxury was the snow in the frost and snow.

After Yuan Chonghuan set up the enemy to enter the pass, the Ming court felt that it could no longer fight on multiple fronts, and appeased the Anjia in the southwest through peace negotiations. Previously, the Hao family had been wiped out by the Ming army and had not been pardoned, but the An family, who was still strong, was not only not held accountable, but the imperial court also acquiesced in allowing them to retain the Han people they had plundered from Sichuan, Yunnan and other places, and annexed the remnants of the old comrade-in-arms of the Hao family.

"The last time Wu thieves passed through Wumeng Mountain and raided Guizhou, it was because there was a group of thieves from the An family leading the way in front!" Bai Wenxuan said hatefully. No matter how much they advertised themselves in Deng Ming's previous life, and how moved the Manchu court was, they were absolutely hateful traitors in the eyes of the Ming army.

After the rebellion of the Three Kings, Hong Chengchou mobilized all the main forces of the Qing court to launch an attack on Yungui, and Wu Sangui, who took the road of Chongqing and Loushan Pass, was strong and strong. However, after careful analysis, Li Dingguo believed that Wu Sangui's Qing army on the northern route seemed to be strong, but in fact it did not pose a great threat, because Wu Sangui chose a sparsely populated passage with rugged terrain, and the geographical situation of this road offset most of Wu Sangui's troops.

The An family, which was located on Wu Sangui's offensive route, once swore to Li Dingguo that they would definitely be able to resist the Qing army outside the country and cover the flank of the Ming army in Guiyang. At that time, there was just internal strife in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and Li Dingguo's troops were limited, and reliable troops were even scarcer, so he believed in the guarantee of the settlement family and concentrated on the direction of Hunan and Guangxi. As a result, under the guidance of An Jia, Wu Sangui calmly passed through the unfamiliar Wumeng Mountains, and it was even more relaxed and happy to have An Jia responsible for supplies along the way, and the army maintained a very good combat effectiveness, and quickly appeared behind the flank of the Ming army in Guizhou, triggering a chain reaction of the Ming army's defeat, defection, and surrender - the internal strife of the three kings was the main reason for the fiasco of the defense of Guizhou in the Southern Ming Dynasty, but the betrayal of the An family also played a great role.

"At the beginning, I believed in the An family, first because the troops in hand were tight, and I thought that the An family participated in the Lu'an Rebellion, and could resist Wang Shi in the Wumeng Mountains for ten years, and it was not a big problem to resist Wu Sangui; Secondly, it is also because the An family has just defected to me and turned their backs on Sun Kewang, who is very good to them, I think Sun Kewang is so good to them, and he will agree to any request, but the An family will still support us, it can be seen that they still have a loyal heart......" Li Dingguo sighed: "I am also confused, Sun Kewang treats the An family so well, they can all betray, how can they be loyal to the court?" ”

After the analysis, it is obvious that the An family was not because of loyalty, but because they concluded that Sun Kewang could not defeat the coalition forces of Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, so they abandoned Sun Kewang; And when Wu Sangui arrived, there was no need to think about the Anjia, and they did not hesitate to abandon Li Dingguo.

"Now they're to blame." Marble laughed happily. At the beginning, he was one of the 30,000 Yunnan reinforcements sent by Li Dingguo to reinforce Guizhou, when the betrayal of the An family and the surrender of the old Qin generals made the Ming army fall into a heavy siege in a blink of an eye, and Ma Bao also surrendered to the Qing army in a desperate situation. Since he decided in his heart that he had to surrender at the beginning, Ma Bao hated the Qin Xiying and An family even more, thinking that it was all because of their evil that caused his reputation to be damaged.

"Yes, they did it themselves. This time was different from the Extravagant Rebellion, that time they were the first to take the court by surprise and hit the court by surprise; And this time it was Wu Sangui who made the first move. Wu Sangui must have arranged the fine work in advance, bought a lot of toast and Anjia's accessories, and prepared the grain and grass. Although Li Dingguo didn't see all the information, he could guess Wu Sangui's approximate means at once: "If we don't reinforce Anjia, he won't be able to withstand it for a few months." ”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly cooled down, and He Jiuyi asked, "Does the king still want to go to reinforce Anjia?" ”

"Not bad." Li Dingguo nodded, and glanced at this Qin general seriously: "Although the An family betrayed us, now that he is fighting with the Tartars, he is the one we should help; Don't say it's An Shuixi, it's my righteous brother (Sun Kewang), if I know that I will turn back to the shore and fight with the captive court again, I am also willing to take the blame and recount the brotherhood of the year. ”

At Li Dingguo's insistence, although the Ming army in Yunnan was very difficult, it also began to reorganize its soldiers and horses, and prepared to send troops to Guizhou.

Almost when Deng Ming decided to withdraw from the city of Chongqing, Li Dingguo was already ready to go on the expedition, and just as the Ming army was about to set off, another urgent letter suddenly arrived from Burma.

Li Dingguo tore up the letter and looked at it twice, then stood up from his seat, and all the generals of the Jin King's Mansion saw that the face of the King of Jin changed greatly, and the hand holding the letter paper also trembled, obviously anxious and angry.

"Thief dares!" Li Dingguo let out a loud shout and slapped the letter on the table with a heavy bang.

"The emperor is in distress." Li Dingguo hurriedly explained to the generals that there had been a violent conflict between Burma and the imperial court in exile, and this letter was written by an officer of the Imperial Forest Army, saying that the Imperial Forest Army had been destroyed, and the emperor, the prince, and the elders did not know whether they were alive or dead, and that the officer had fled back to the Sino-Burmese border area.
