The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Because, Zhu Hongyu's imperial decree to Wu Sangui has only three main points.

One is to recognize Wu Sangui's title of King Pingxi!

The second is to recognize the special status of Wu Sangui Shizhen Yunnan!
The above two points mean that from now on, he, Wu Sangui, will be the Pingxi King of the Ming and Qing families.

Although the above two points can be used to drive a wedge between the Qing court and Wu Sangui, they are nothing more than that.

Does it work?

There must be!
But not too big!

The most important thing is actually the third article of the imperial decree.

The content of the third article is that Daming recognizes the title of Wu Sangui Pingxi King, and the conditions for the title of Shizhen Yunnan are:

It's not that Wu Sangui raised his troops to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, but that Wu Sangui should not move his troops in the ensuing battle between the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

After thinking about it, you will find that Zhu Hongyu's third move is the most insidious move!
In the war between the two countries, what is standing still?
Such a thing is definitely not something that the vassals of the two countries can do.

Only third countries can do it!
To put it bluntly, Zhu Hongyu wanted to turn Wu Sangui into the third force in the struggle between Ming and Qing.

If Zhu Hongyu wants Wu Sangui to return to the Ming Dynasty, it will be very difficult!

But if he just wanted Wu Sangui to be neutral and actually deviate from the Qing court, it would not be so difficult.

Wu Sangui is ambitious, what Zhu Hongyu has to do is to give Wu Sangui a push at the critical moment, fuel his ambition, and make his ambition burn in advance.

If an imperial decree can be issued, Wu Sangui will be separated from the Qing court, which will affect the entire three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan.

No matter what the consequences are, Zhu Hongyu will surely earn his blood!
Anyway, the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan are currently the territory of the Qing court.

No matter how much Zhu Hongyu tosses, there will be no worse consequences than now.

This matter had the worst outcome, that is, Zhu Hongyu's plan failed completely, and the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan kept the status quo.

But if the result is the best, Wu Sangui led his troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan immediately changed their flags!

The power of the Qing court has been greatly reduced!

Why doesn't Zhu Hongyu do a business that is sure to make a profit without losing money? !

Wu Sangui summoned his advisers Liu Xuanchu and Fang Guangchen to discuss how to deal with the changing situation in Guangdong.

He showed Liu Xuanchu and Fang Guangchen the imperial decree he had received to supervise the country.

Then he asked.

"The changes in Guangdong must be known to everyone. Pingnan King Shang Kexi died in battle, and the province of Guangdong became rebellious, and the flag was changed to return to the Ming."

"The general trend of the world is changing!"

"Da Ming Jian Guo sent this imperial decree to this king. I wonder what the two gentlemen think about this matter?"

Wu Sangui sat on the chair, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked.

Liu Xuanchu stood up and said.

"No matter how the general situation of the world changes, as long as the main force of Guan Ning's iron cavalry in the hands of the prince is not damaged, it will be fine for the prince."

"With Ning Tieqi in hand, no matter whether the world belongs to the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, the prince will always be the prince."

"So, the student's suggestion is to stand still!"

"Sit back and watch the success or failure of the world, and wait until the situation is completely clear before making a bet, or simply wait until the Ming and Qing Dynasties are fighting each other, and when both sides are exhausted, the prince will sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

"At that time, the prince might be able to take a peek at the most honored position in the world!"

Liu Xuanchu stood on Wu Sangui's standpoint and made suggestions for Wu Sangui.

Fang Guangchen on the side spoke.

"My lord, the students have different opinions!"

Wu Sangui nodded slightly and said.

"Mr. Fang, please speak!"

What Liu Xuanchu said was very reasonable, but it did not prevent him from listening to Fang Guangchen's opinion.

Fang Guangchen got Wu Sangui's signal, cleared his throat and stood up and said.

"Although the Ming Dynasty rose from overseas and counterattacked the mainland, the current situation in the world is, after all, dominated by the Qing Dynasty."

"The chances of the Qing Dynasty winning the final victory are greater after all!"

"My lord stays put. It is natural to preserve our strength, but after the Ming and Qing battles are decided, if the Qing wins, the lord will be able to explain to the Qing."

"The student's suggestion is that the prince can use troops to the south..."

Recently, petty actions between Wu Sangui and Li Dingguo have been frequent.

As Wu Sangui's absolute confidant, Fang Guangchen still has some understanding of the complicated relationship between the two.

Therefore, his opinion is, in order to give the Qing court an explanation.

Wu Sangui can join forces with Li Dingguo to act in a play!

Wu Sangui thought for a while, then nodded slightly and said.

"Well, this king will send someone to send a letter of war to Li Dingguo!"

……

Mengla Mountain City!

After winning Shan State, having a stable source of food and salary, and getting assistance from Zhu Hongyu, the strength of Li Dingguo's troops continued to grow and expand like blowing up balloons.

In the entire Mengla Mountain City, the sound of the Ming army's drills and shouts of killing continued to sound every day.

After the news of Xinhui's decisive battle came, there was a burst of shouts inside and outside Mengla City.

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

"..."

Even Li Dingguo laughed in a rare gaffe.

Back then when he defeated Xinhui, the Ming army's strategy of seeking Guangdong as the base to resist the Qing Dynasty came to naught. He fled thousands of miles all the way and suffered heavy losses.

No longer able to launch a counterattack!
The defeat of Xinhui can be said to be one of the few unforgettable failures in Li Dingguo's life.

Thinking about it now, it hurts my heart!

Now the Ming army has won a great victory in Xinhui, wiped out the Qing army in Guangdong, and even killed it.

While exciting, it can also be regarded as revenge for Li Dingguo!

Those old subordinates who fell under Xinhui City back then can be regarded as able to rest in peace!

Li Dingguo laughed heartily. Although the victory in the Battle of Xinhui cannot be said to have completely restored Daming's decline on the battlefield, it has also greatly inspired the hearts of the people all over the world to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

Now His Highness Jian Guo of Daming really looks like the Lord of ZTE!

Since its rise from overseas, Qiongzhou first, and then Guangdong, entered the mainland step by step. The speed of development is impressive.

In the big tent, Li Dingguo sat at the head, and his subordinates divided their forces in the tent.

After everyone was happy, Li Dingguo said.

"His Royal Highness Jian Guo has given corresponding instructions regarding the reward for the Shan State War."

"The imperial decree of the reward, together with the supplies from the court to assist us, arrived in Mengla together!"

While speaking, Li Dingguo stood up and read out the imperial decree loudly.

Due to the barriers of mountains and seas, it was not easy for Zhu Hongyu to send rewards to Li Dingguo's troops.

Therefore, Zhu Hongyu's rewards for Li Dingguo's subordinates this time are more inclined to official positions and titles.

In fact, there are not many gold and silver properties!
After reading the imperial decree of the award, Li Dingguo continued to speak.

"The war in Guangzhou has come to an end, but the heavy troops of the Qing court may be suppressed from the north at any time."

"His Royal Highness Jian Guo is going to take the initiative to launch an attack on the Qing court, instead of passively accepting the Qing court's attack!"

"The task for our army is to find a way to contain the troops of Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi in the Qing court, so that Wu Sangui cannot send troops east to enter Guangdong!"
