Chapter 1129
Chapter 1128: Aobai Is Outside And 3 Water Is Inside
The momentum is like a broken bamboo, and the Central Plains’ ascension to the throne and the many consecutive defeats in one fell swoop, the morale is low, and the two are not the same. The former is the elephant of the emperor, and the latter is the act of a bereaved dog and a clown, and a wise man does not act.
Now don’t say that Wu Sangui doesn’t dare to think about becoming an emperor anymore, even Hu Shouliang and others who have been encouraging him to become emperor at first don’t dare to mention it again.
Wu Yingxiong, the son of Wu Sangui, was reprimanded by his eldest brother-in-law Xia Guoxiang and his third brother-in-law Guo Zhuangtu, and also suppressed his desire to persuade his father to ascend the throne.
In fact, Wu Sangui himself has only three biological daughters, the eldest daughter is married to Xia Guoxiang, the second daughter is married to Hu Guozhu, and the youngest daughter Wu Ke is only 14 years old this year, born by his concubine Chen Yuanyuan, and has not yet left the cabinet. Wu Sangui likes this youngest daughter the most, because the youngest daughter looks very similar to her mother Chen Yuanyuan and looks quite beautiful.
In the early years, Wu Sangui arranged a baby kiss for his youngest daughter, and he promised Wang Yongkang, the son of the Wang family of the big family in Suzhou, who was a good family member of the Wu family. But now that Suzhou is occupied by the Taiping army, and the Wang family was raided by the clan because of the prisoners, the marriage was abandoned. Even if the Wang family has never been raided, this marriage is not going to happen.
After all, it was impossible for Wu Sangui to marry his most beloved daughter to the Taiping Army’s territory. God knows whether the thief scholar, who was able to kidnap even Geng Jimao’s two sons, Fujin, would do anything to his daughter. What the **** happened. Wu Sangui will never let himself be a cheap “law-in-law” who is a thief and a scholar.
Speaking of which, Zhou Shixiang has also committed great crimes in recent years. It turns out that many marriages have been broken up by him, such as the marriage of Liu Xiaozhao, the daughter of Hedong Jun Liu Rushi.
Without Zhou Shixiang, Liu Xiaozhao in Suzhou couldn’t be sulking in the house every day now, because she didn’t like Yu Xiaogong, who came to please her mother every day.
In Xiaozhao’s mind, her Ruyi Langjun should be the scholar of the first scholar and the first scholar, not a rude man who only knows how to dance with knives and guns. It’s a pity that Xiaozhao’s mother thinks differently from her. She is very fond of Yu Xiaogong, who comes to the door every day. If it wasn’t for her husband Qian Qianyi, Liu Rushi would have made her own decision to marry her daughter.
In addition, if there is no Zhou Shixiang, this year, Wu Sangui will also marry his most beloved and most beautiful daughter to Suzhou. With attachment and reluctance to her mother, as well as fantasies about her future husband, the beauty Wu Ke shyly went to Jiangnan.
It’s just that Zhou Shixiang didn’t know all this.
Guo Zhuangtu did not marry Wu Sangui’s biological daughter, but the daughter of his elder brother Wu Sanfu, but Wu Sangui married his niece to Guo Zhuangtu in the name of his biological daughter. Some people in the outside world who didn’t know it thought that Guo Zhuangtu was marrying Wu Sangui’s daughter, but they didn’t know that he was just Wu Sangui’s niece-in-law.
On the matter of Wu Sangui proclaiming himself emperor, Xia Guoxiang, Hu Guozhu, and Guo Zhuangtu had very subtle attitudes. Xia Guoxiang and Guo Zhuangtu agreed with Wu Sangui’s proclamation of the emperor, but Hu Guozhu’s attitude was similar. Although he did not say anything against it, he did not publicly support it.
Now, self-proclaimed emperor is no longer feasible. Xia Guoxiang and Guo Zhuangtu know how to weigh the pros and cons. Naturally, they will no longer support their brother-in-law Wu Yingxiong, but persuade Wu Sangui to get King Han from Hao Yaoqi and temporarily support King Han to secure the heart of the army.
Fang Xianting went to Hao Yaoqi’s army, naturally to complete this task. If King Han agrees to go to Luoyang and is added by Wu Sangui in a yellow robe, then it will be a big trouble for the Dingwu court in the southern capital, just like the original Yongli.
Han Wang Zhu Li was the ninth grandson of Han Xian Wang Zhu Song, the son of Taizu, but he was not a direct descendant. When a large-scale anti-Qing uprising broke out in Shanxi in the fifth year of Shunzhi, Zhu Li was elected as the “King of Han” by various rebels, as the call of the Restoring Ming Movement. At that time, the Yongli court recognized Zhu Li’s King of Han when the ancestral vassal withered and the genealogy was disordered. After the defeat of Shanxi, Zhu Li fled to Huguang and remained in Hao Yaoqi’s camp for more than ten years.
From the perspective of integrity, Zhu Li, the Han king, is very similar to Emperor Dingwu. They are both Ming Dynasty clans who insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty and refused to surrender. The experience of the two is also very similar. They had suffered hardships in their early years and were illiterate. During the years of insisting on fighting against the Qing Dynasty, they also repeatedly struggled on the line of death.
Zhou Shixiang knew that Hao Yaoqi did not go north with Li Laiheng and the others. Originally, he only knew that Hao Yaoqi had a vision, and knew that Li Laiheng and the others would probably fail if they ventured north, so he stayed in southern Henan and insisted, so that Li Laiheng and the others could manage a good escape route, but he didn’t think about Hao Yao. The flag was Wu Sangui’s idea.
Only Hao Yaoqi’s family defected to Wu Sangui, Zhou Shixiang didn’t care much. After all, Hao Yaoqi’s men could really fight only a few thousand people, and the remaining 20,000 to 30,000 people were a mob, and two second-level towns could force Hao Yao. The flag was in chaos. However, if Hao Yaoqi gave King Han to Wu Sangui, it would be a big trouble.
“I can’t believe these rogues. The commander treats them so much, but they don’t feel grateful. Instead, they block the commander everywhere. They really don’t know what’s wrong. If I knew today, they shouldn’t have been rescued from Kuidong in the first place. They starved to death there.”
Xu Yingyuan was indignant. Shun Wang Li Laiheng brought the main force of the Zhongzheng Camp northward, which had already caused a great headache for the commander. He had no choice but to let Tang Sanshui go north to contain him, and even lured King Guangxing of the Jing Kingdom to turn against the water with heavy profits. Only then did the Zhongzheng Camp stop by the Yellow River. Now that the trouble on King Shun’s side has not been resolved, Hao Yaoqi jumped out again here, and he also brought out a big trouble like Yongli’s. It is a typical favor and hatred for him, and no one can stand it.
“What’s the hurry, didn’t Hao Yaoqi go to Luoyang? Isn’t King Han also ill? What does this mean? It means that Hao Yaoqi and King Han are not stupid.”
Zhou Shixiang shook his head and rescued the Camp of Loyalty from Kuidong. He didn’t think it was a mistake, even if the Camp of Loyalty and his own looks were different now, which disrupted his plan to exterminate the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but he did not take the Camp of Loyalty seriously. For the haters, to deal with them.
Zhou Shixiang treated the loyalty camp differently. There is a group of veteran generals, another group of local bandits in Henan, and another group of local bandits in Henan.
Tang Sanshui went north to fight Zhongzhen Camp several times, but Zhongzhen Camp’s losses were actually not that big. Thunder, little rain. On the one hand, it was because Tang Sanshui did not dare to fight recklessly with the Zhongzhen Camp, and on the other hand, Wu Chongshan also selectively attacked the “enemy”.
Furthermore, unless the main force of the Taiping Army is transferred to two troops, it will not be able to eat the 100,000 horses of the Zhongzheng Camp.
“Commander, you still believe too much in Hao Yaoqi. You asked Hao Yaoqi to send King Han to Nandu twice, but he ignored him, and now he voted directly for Wu Sangui. What about King Han handing it over to Wu Sangui?” Xu Yingyuan reminded.
Zhou Shixiang nodded, he couldn’t put his hope of solving the trouble on Hao Yaoqi not being stupid. The army closest to Hao Yaoqi is the Fourth Theater Command, which is in charge of Zhao Sihai, who was promoted to the governor of the Right Army. However, the Fourth Theater has not been reorganized yet, and it is impossible to send troops to Henan in a short time to capture Hao Yaoqi. The fastest, and it will take more than a month before the fourth theater can send troops to Henan.
“You write a letter for me to Yuan Zongdi, governor of Hubei.” Zhou Shixiang ordered.
Xu Yingyuan asked, “What’s in the letter?”
Zhou Shixiang thought about it for a while~www.readwn.com~ and ordered: “Just tell Yuan Zongdi that Hao Yaoqi can go, but King Han cannot. How to do it is his Yuan Zongdi’s job. Whether it can be done or not, It is also his Yuan Zongdi’s business.”
“I’m going to write a letter now.” Xu Yingyuan agreed, and hurriedly went to write a letter. After walking a few steps, he stopped and turned around and asked, “Commander, what if Yuan Zongdi can’t do it?”
“Then let him come to Nanjing to discuss the incorporation of Hubei into the Fourth War Zone.”
Zhou Shixiang waved his hand, motioning Xu Yingyuan to write a letter quickly. After waiting for the people to go down, Zhou Shixiang took a few sips from the tea bowl that had long been cold on the table, and then his eyes fell on the map behind him. On the map, the staff department has made detailed markings according to the forces of all parties and the progress of the war. Zhou Shixiang’s eyes moved upward from Hubei, and finally fell on the Yifeng area to the east of Kaifeng.
The news from the Ministry of Military Intelligence said that the Zhongzhen Camp could not cross the river, and the army under the command of Shun Wang Li Laiheng had marched westward, trying to seize Kaifeng. And Tang Sanshui, the “King of Diligence in the North”, is now at the top of Yifeng, the necessary place to enter Kaifeng. Zhou Shixiang doubted that Tang Sanshui really had the guts to seal him up in Yi, and it didn’t fit.
“Brother Sanshui will most likely retreat to Kaifeng. If so, it will be interesting.”
Zhou Shixiang said to himself, and suddenly laughed, if the Henan war turned into a deadly fight with Wu Sangui outside, and Tang Sanshui defending Kaifeng inside, then Brother Sanshui this time, I am afraid that this time he will really become the mainstay of the Qing Dynasty.
