Chapter 22 Brotherhood
Liu Wenxiu made up his mind, abandoned the army directly, led Jingqi and Bai Wenxuan to quickly arrive at Ma Jinzhong's army.

The king of Shu has always had a strong view of the overall situation, but he still couldn't break away from the constraints of this era. Because he was dissatisfied with Sun Kewang's restraint on him and the influence of the loyalty thought that was regarded as the truth in this era, he finally embarked on the road of supporting the Yongli court.

What is disgusting is that after the joint camp against the Qing Dynasty, Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others respected Yongli very much. Feng Yongli.On the contrary, the orthodox officers and soldiers of the Southern Ming Dynasty did not think about fighting against the Qing Dynasty, and were brave enough to fight among themselves.

Seeing Liu Wenxiu's arrival, Ma Jinzhong immediately led his troops to meet him.

Liu Wenxiu smiled and said: "The Duke of E is the pillar of the imperial court and a great blessing to the country."

Ma Jinzhong cupped his hands and said, "The King of Shu has spoken seriously. Of course I cannot follow the King of Qin when he commits rebellion."

"With martyrs like you and Gong Guogong in the Ming Dynasty, there is hope for ZTE!" Liu Wenxiu laughed.

"The king of Shu, the king of Qin has now fled to Guiyang, and there are still [-] to [-] troops in Guiyang. Judging from the defeat of Gong Guogong, his army's combat strength cannot be underestimated!"

Liu Wenxiu said sternly: "The eldest brother and I have been brothers for 20 years. He has worked hard in running Yunnan and Guizhou and has made great achievements, and he has a large number of soldiers loyal to him. Now the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are eyeing Yunnan and Guizhou. It is not appropriate to use weapons anymore for the sake of resisting the Qing Dynasty."

"What the King of Shu said is true." Ma Jinzhong said: "The King of Qin has been running Yunnan and Guizhou for ten years, and the soldiers have been deeply favored by him. If they are forced to fight hard, they will jump over the wall in a hurry, giving the Tartars an opportunity to take advantage of."

Bai Wenxuan said: "King of Shu, the king wants to take the front army to Guangxi and part ways with the King of Jin. The top priority now is to persuade him to change his mind."

Liu Wenxiu nodded and said: "That's right, after the defeat of the elder brother, his temper changed. If he can be persuaded to join forces with the King of Jin, Qin and Jin will have a good relationship, not to mention defending Yunnan and Guizhou. Even if it is the Northern Expedition like in the past, the Eastern Expedition is just around the corner!"

"The words of the King of Shu are reasonable." Ma Jinzhong said quickly: "The King of Qin still has many soldiers and horses in his hands. Di Sanpin and Wang Hui of Sichuan, Yang Wu and Gao Qilong of Huguang are all old generals of the Qin vassal. If they obey the orders of the King of Qin and If we run away with the front army, then we, Yunnan and Guizhou, will be in danger!"

Liu Wenxiu's face changed when he heard the words. If Sun Kewang could not become the King of the East and become the King of the Wings, and take the tens of thousands of frontier guards from Huguang and Sichuan, as well as his own frontier army, to go far away to Guangxi, then the door to the Southwest would be wide open, not to mention Guizhou , even Yunnan is in danger!

"No! I must meet my elder brother immediately!"

Liu Wenxiu was very anxious, for a while, he thought of riding alone to intercept the camp like in the past.

Ten years ago, the Great Western Army moved into Yunnan by taking advantage of the Shadingzhou Rebellion. In order to quickly stabilize the situation in Yunnan and resume production as soon as possible, it built Yunnan into a base for resisting the Qing Dynasty. Mu Tianbo, Duke of Guizhou.

Sun Kewang first defeated Yang Weizhi who was stationed in Lufeng, and promptly rescued Yang Weizhi after he threw himself into the water. He persuaded him from the perspective of national justice. Yang Weizhi was also one of the few Nanming officials who understood justice well. He felt that the strength of the Qing army relied solely on Nanming. His own strength was simply unable to resist, and the king of the Great Western Army, Zhang Xianzhong, died in the hands of Hauge. The four princes in the southeast, northwest and northwest had a blood feud with the Qing court. Only by joining forces with the Great Western Army could there be hope of restoring the country.

So he and Sun Kewang cleared up their old feud, and instead went to Chuxiong as Sun Kewang's envoy to persuade Mu Tianbo. Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Guizhou, happened to be one of the few reliable people among the nobles of the Ming Dynasty. Under Yang Weizhi's persuasion, he sent his son Mu Zhong Xian went to Kunming to contact the Daxi Army.

Sun Kewang and others made an exception to receive Mu Zhongxian with ducal courtesy. They not only returned the letter of the Duke of Guizhou's seal seized from Sha Dingzhou, but also sent twenty cavalry to escort him back to Chuxiong.

Mu Zhongxian was a reliable son. After returning to Chuxiong, he said that the Daxi Army generals were benevolent and righteous and would not kill, set fires, commit adultery, or plunder. He urged Mu Tianbo and the Daxi Army to join forces to restore order in Yunnan, and then go out to Yunnan to fight against the Qing Dynasty and support Kuang Fu. Sheji!
Just as Mu Tianbo was weighing the matter, among the twenty Great Western Army cavalry who escorted Mu Zhongxian, two suddenly took off their helmets and stepped out. It turned out that these two were the Funan King Liu Wenxiu and the Navy Division Dudu Wang Fuchen!

Mu Tianbo saw that the Daxi Army was like this, and with the guarantee of Yang Weizhi and Mu Xianzhong, he immediately entertained Liu Wenxiu solemnly, and made a three-law agreement with the Daxi Army, first, not to use the Daxi Reign, second, not to kill people recklessly, and third, not to burn huts and prostitute women.

Liu Wenxiu made an oath to the sky, and made an oath with Mu Tianbo, and Mu Tianbo also proceeded from the righteousness of the nation, and immediately returned to Kunming with Liu Wenxiu, and issued an order to all the officials and chieftains in Yunnan to accept the unified command of the Daxi Army and do their best. Suppress the rebellion in Shadingzhou, resume production in Yunnan as soon as possible, and then go out of Yunnan to fight against the Qing Dynasty and help the country!
Now ten years have passed, and it is another reincarnation. Now on the road to Guiyang, Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, has many thoughts in his heart, and recalls the time when he persuaded Mu Tianbo in the past, but this time it is his embarrassment. The person I want to persuade is my elder brother!
"King Shu, King Qin is cunning! As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, if you are alone in danger and captured by King Qin, it will be a big disaster for the court!" Ma Jinzhong said quickly.

Liu Wenxiu said firmly: "I was in Yunnan ten years ago. I had no idea about the character of the Duke of Guizhou. He was not afraid of death in order to resist the Qing Dynasty. The King of Qin has been Gu's brother for more than 20 years. Now I am still afraid that he will kill me?"

Bai Wenxuan said hurriedly: "King Shu, think again, the king is no longer the king ten years ago!"

Liu Wenxiu waved his hand and said, "I haven't seen you for three years, my eldest brother. My second brother and my eldest brother haven't seen each other for five years since I left Guiyang for the Eastern Expedition. The reason why my three brothers are here now is because they communicate too well with each other." Less. Thinking of the old days on the Yangtze River when there was no way to the sky and no door to the earth, when the four brothers worked together without fear of life and death, I was heartbroken."

"Ten years have passed, and the situation of our Daxi Army is getting better and better. From the [-] remnants and defeated generals at that time, to the more than [-] troops that can compete with the Manchu Qing, but the gap between our brothers is getting deeper and deeper. .”

"On the Lantern Festival in the third year of Yongli, under the rule of my eldest brother, Yunnan was in peace and prosperity, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. There were lanterns in Kunming, four operas were performed, and people came to the city in an endless stream to play. It was like a picture of a peaceful and prosperous age. At that time, my eldest brother, my second brother, and I I was very happy watching the lanterns in Kunming City, but when I thought that the fourth child was gone, the three of us lost interest in watching the lanterns."

"Now the eldest brother and the second brother are at odds with each other. After the eldest brother was defeated, I realized for a long time that only by going to Guiyang alone and showing sincerity can the three brothers get back together!"
