Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 11 Three Thousand Yiding
"Hey, hey, hey!"

"Brother Chang, what do you mean?"

"Wu, you treat your old brother like this."

Tang Tong and Bai Guangen became anxious immediately: "The two countries are fighting each other, and it's not like they will kill each other."

"Two countries? Pooh!" Wu Sangui spat, "A trespasser deserves to be compared with me, Ming?"

Tang Tongdao: "Brother Chang, those who know the current affairs are heroes, and it is the general trend for Dashun to replace Daming."

Bai Guangen also shouted: "Brother Chang, the capital has fallen, and Chongzhen was driven into the depths of Yanshan Mountain by our Dashun army. The Ming Dynasty is already dead. You don't want to be buried for a dying dynasty, let alone the lord. Uncle Chang offered generous conditions, as long as you are willing to surrender, you will still be in the position of commander-in-chief, and you will still be Xibo Ping."

"Shengjia entered Yanshan?" Wu Sangui's expression moved slightly.

Of course Wu Sangui didn't really want to kill Tang Tong and Bai Guangen.

If he really wanted to kill people, he wouldn't have met them at all, and would have killed them immediately.

Wu Sangui did this just for acting, to show that he was still "loyal" to Daming, so Li Zicheng would have to continue to increase his price if he wanted to recruit him.

To put it bluntly, it is a trick to bargain.

"It is absolutely impossible for this town to surrender and trespass." Wu Sangui said righteously, "But because you and I have worked together once, and you have provided me with the whereabouts of Shengjia, I will spare your lives today , but see you next time, Ben calmly took the lives of both of you, now get out of here!"

Tang Tong and Bai Guangen didn't dare to stay for a long time, and left the gate in despair.

Fang Guangchen smiled and said: "The intruder only wants to recruit brother for a small profit, which is too small."

General Wu Guogui also said: "If the intruders are sincere, let Uncle still command the Guanning Army and control Jizhen. Anyway, our [-] Liao people only recognize Uncle."

Wu Guogui undoubtedly expressed Wu Sangui's aspirations.

For Wu Sangui, it doesn't really matter whether he is a courtier of Ming Dynasty or a courtier of Dashun, and he doesn't care about anything else, all he cares about is the military power in his hands.

It is possible to surrender to the Dashun Dynasty, but he must be allowed to guard Jizhen.

Wu Sangui was going to be the governor of Jiliao, and the commander-in-chief or admiral could no longer satisfy his appetite.

The [-] iron cavalry of the Guanning Army and the [-] elites of Shanhaiguan must still be under his command. As long as these two conditions are met, he can change the court today.

But this cannot be said clearly.

Immediately Wu Sangui scolded: "Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Wu Guogui didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "The last general is just talking casually, uncle don't care."

"Be careful, misfortune comes out of your mouth." Wu Sangui snorted, and said again, "Hurry up and get out of here, by the way, help me call Zuoying guerrilla Hu Xinshui, I have something to do with him."

Wu Guogui responded, turned and left.

Fang Guangchen's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Brother, do you want to welcome Shengjia back?"

"Do you think it's right?" Wu Sangui looked at Fang Guangchen, his deep gaze was like an endless abyss.

"Sure." Fang Guangchen smiled brightly, and said again, "No matter what, my brother is still Daming's Ping Xibo, and it is your duty to protect Shengjia."

There was something in Fang Guangchen's words, but Wu Sangui could understand.

After a while, Hu Xinshui, a guerrilla from the Zuoying camp, strode into the Xingyuan.

Hu Xinshui is a Mongol, to be precise, a defected Mongol, more precisely, Chahar Mongol is also a direct descendant of the Golden Family. After Chahar Mongolia was annexed by Hou Jin, most of the direct descendants of the Golden Family were killed , some fled west to Junggar, and some moved south to settle in western Liaoning.

According to historical records, Zu Dashou once had [-] barbarians under his command, all of whom were warriors recruited from the Mongols who migrated to the south.

However, Zu Dashou's three thousand barbarians, one thousand riders followed Zu Kuan and Zu Dale to enter the pass to suppress the bandits, had already been beaten to ashes by the Dashun army, and another thousand riders followed Zu Dashou to surrender Jiannu, and had already been compiled After entering Wu Zhenchao, the last thousand riders followed Wu Sangui from beginning to end, who was the Zuoying servant led by Hu Xinshui.

What needs to be explained in particular is that this servant is not that servant.

The servants of the warlords in the late Ming Dynasty are more appropriate to be called soldiers, or they can be called mercenaries. They are not the kind of domestic slaves who have a personal relationship with the master.

For example, Zu Kuan and Zu Dale used to be Zu Dashou's servants, but the relationship between them and Zu Dashou was not the kind of personal attachment between a slave and a master, but an employment relationship between soldiers and employers. The employers of Kuan and Zu Dale, the two of them and the thousand barbarians under their command turned to fight for the imperial court.

"Uncle." Hu Xinshui folded her chest in salute, and asked in a low voice, "You looking for me?"

"Excuse me." Wu Sangui raised both hands, and said again, "Old Hu, your hometown is in Chahar Mongolia, right?"

"Why did Uncle ask this all of a sudden?" Hu Xinshui asked in surprise, "The last general's hometown is in Chahar, but he has moved to western Liaoning for more than [-] years, and he is already from Daming."

"I don't doubt you." Wu Sangui waved his hand and said, "I just want to ask you, are you familiar with the terrain of Yanshan?"

"I am familiar with the terrain of Yanshan Mountain." Hu Xinshui said, "After all, Chahar Mongolia is located at the northern foot of Yanshan Mountain. When I was a child, I often followed my father and brother into the mountains to hunt. I know no less than ten paths that can bypass the Great Wall."

Speaking of this, Hu Xinshui asked with a fixed gaze: "Is uncle going to use troops against Chahar Mongolia?"

"Use soldiers? Use shitty soldiers." Wu Sangui said angrily, "Right now, my Ming Dynasty is besieged on all sides, and the wind and rain are precarious. How can I have the ability to use troops against Chahar Mongolia?"

Hu Xinshui said: "Uncle, what do you mean?"

Wu Sangui said: "That's what happened. The capital has fallen, and the holy car has already hunted north into Yanshan. If there is no accident, the bandits must have followed them into the mountain and launched a chase, so I ordered you to lead a thousand barbarians to rush into Yanshan. Escort, listen carefully, you must find Shengjia before the thieves and welcome them back to Yongping."

Hu Xinshui said: "It's okay to find Sheng Jia before the thieves, but what if Sheng Jia refuses to come? The general can't force Sheng Jia to come to Yongping, right?"

Wu Sangui said: "Then you have to find a way to convince Sheng Jia."

"Ah? Persuading Shengjia?" Hu Xinshui said with a bitter face, "Uncle, we are stupid, we can't do this."

Wu Sangui's face collapsed, do I have to speak out?Can't you use your dog's brain to think about it?

At this time, Fang Guangchen, who was sitting on the side, said with a smile: "General Hu, in order to ensure the safety of Sheng Jia, people can be forcibly kidnapped when necessary. In short, everything is to ensure the safety of Sheng Jia."

"Understood!" Hu Xinshui felt at ease now.

……

Bai Guangen returned to Beijing as quickly as possible.

Upon receiving the news, Li Zicheng immediately called several confidants to discuss the matter.

Li Zicheng said in a deep voice, "What do you think Wu Sangui means?"

Niu Jinxing pondered and said: "I think that Wu Sangui should be selling for a price. He thinks the master's asking price is too low. I hope the master can continue to increase the price."

Li Zicheng said: "It's still not enough to seal Xibo Ping and be his chief soldier?"

Niu Jinxing said: "I guess, Wu Sangui is not willing to hand over the Guan Ning army, and also wants to be the governor of Jiliao."

Li Zicheng said: "It's okay for the Guan Ning army to give him this, but Governor Ji Liao can't. If that's the case, wouldn't he be the local emperor of Ji Town?"

Niu Jinxing said: "What the Lord said is very true, even better than Li Rusong is just an admiral."

Li Zicheng said: "In this way, give him two days to think about it, and if he agrees, he will hand over Jizhen and Shanhaiguan to Tang Tong to guard, and then lead the Guanning Army to Beijing. If he disagrees, there is nothing to say, and send troops to destroy him. "

Song Xiance said: "Master, only [-] soldiers from Tang Tong are sent to guard Jizhen and Shanhaiguan, isn't it a bit weak?"

"Master Zuo is worrying too much." Niu Jinxing said with a smile, "We Dashun and Jianu have no grudges, and Jianu will not send troops to attack us for no reason."

"The prime minister is right. We didn't provoke Jiannu, why should Jiannu beat us?" Li Zicheng waved his hand and said, "What's more, Jiannu sent someone here last year to make an alliance with us."

Song Xiance thought so, and didn't say anything more at the moment.

Li Zicheng went on to say: "It's Chongzhen's kid, haven't you caught him yet?"

Song Xiance quickly said: "Li You, Gu Kecheng and the others have already entered the mountain. As long as the Chongzhen children do not escape from the Great Wall and escape into Chahar Mongolia, they will definitely be caught."

"The key is not to delay too long." Li Zicheng said with a frown.

Niu Jinxing also echoed: "That's right, the Lord is still waiting for Chongzhen to come back to the Zen seat."

"A mother thief." Liu Zongmin scolded, "Chongzhen's child is really insane, how dare he escape into Yanshan."

Chongzhen actually brought the remnants into Yanshan, which was unexpected by Li Zicheng and the others. The conditions in the mountains are no better than the capital, and the conditions are really not ordinary.

Li Zicheng has experienced this hardship.

So Chongzhen dared to enter Yanshan, which surprised Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng scratched his head and said, "Let the right army commander also go into the mountain together, and arrest Chongzhen's son as soon as possible. The enthronement ceremony can't be delayed any longer. I'm not in a hurry, but the old brothers can't wait."

Chongzhen was not arrested for a day, and Li Zicheng could not ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor for a day.

If Li Zicheng does not ascend the throne for a day, the rewards for the heroes cannot be carried out for a day.

But the old people of the Dashun Army can't wait to get promoted.

The most active ones are Li Zicheng's family relatives. When Xi'an was divided, these people were all made princes. If Li Zicheng ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, they should be made kings.
