Chapter 36 The Traitor Alliance

In this way, the lord of the country made a four-pronged approach. On the one hand, he organized the six administrative departments to investigate the land in Guangxi, appease the refugees, and prepare for large-scale production. Lei Sifu.

Then Yang Xing, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, was sent as an envoy to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Ren Zhen, the Minister of Rites, was sent as an envoy to Yunnan. After some operations, Guangxi's future is promising.

When Yang Xingxian and others went north from Nanning, they were stationed in Guilin as ostriches and allowed the front army to capture the Guangxi Admiral Line Guo'an in Guangxi. They received a message from Sun Kewang and learned that Sun Guozhu wanted to take revenge on us like Wu Sangui. When the Qing Dynasty borrowed troops, Xian Guoan and others were overjoyed. They quickly rewarded the envoy who reported the news, and promised that they would report it to the Qing court and be ready to receive the envoy from Sun Guoguo.

Now that Sun Kewang is powerful, don't talk about Xian Guoan, even Shang Kexi dare not provoke him, and it is natural to see from Xian Guoan's eyes that Sun Kewang's relationship is very important. If he is demoted like Wu Sangui, with his status and strength The position of the head of the King of Han is firmly established, and Yongzhen Guangxi will definitely not have to run away. Maybe the Qing court will have to suffer for Wu Sangui first after taking down Yunnan and Guizhou with Sun Guozhu's strength and status, and then give Sun Guozhu a Guizhou. Maybe he would have to hang out with Sun Kewang in the future, so Xian Guoan naturally didn't dare to neglect Sun Kewang's mission.

After learning the news, Xian Guoan immediately sent a letter to Hong Chengchou, the manager of the five provinces in Changsha. Naturally, there is no need to say more about Hong Chengchou, but some people say that he betrayed the Ming Dynasty. This is wrong.

In 1634 AD, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty appointed Hong Chengchou as the Taibao of the Crown Prince, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Governor of the military affairs of the five provinces of Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Huguang, and Sichuan.At that time, his opponents included Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun, Ma Jinzhong and others.

In 1654 AD, Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty appointed Hong Chengchou as Prince Taibao, Minister of the Ministry of War, and managed the military affairs of the five provinces of Huguang, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou. Kang Wang Liu Wenxiu, Li Zicheng's grandnephew Li Laiheng, his subordinates Yuan Zongdi and Liu Tichun all belonged to Sun Kewang's Ma Jinzhong.

And the subordinates of Governor Hong 20 years ago included Jiang Yu, Zuo Liangyu, Bai Guangen, Liu Fangming, Dong Xueli, Chen De, Nan Yikui and others.

The current subordinates include Jiang Guan's general Wang Fuchen, Zuo Liangyu's general Zhang Yong, Gao Jie's generals Li Benshen, Hu Maozhen, Bai Guangen, Liu Zhong, Liu Fangming, Dong Xueli, Chen De, Nan Yikui and others.

All in all, Hong Chengchou's position has never changed, and neither have his subordinates and opponents. People like him who have stood firmly on the opposite side of the common people all their lives are rare throughout the 5000-year history. The only change is our Ming Dynasty. The emperor ran to the opposite side, so it was Daming who betrayed Governor Hong, not Governor Hong who betrayed Daming.

"Sun Kewang wants to borrow troops from the imperial court to take revenge!" Hong Chengchou took the letter and stared at it with his old eyes.

"The governor is indeed so! Sun Kewang's mission is already on the way and will arrive in Changsha in a few days!" the staff excitedly said.

Hong Chengchou was very excited, he stared at Sun Kewang's letter, overjoyed.

"Good! Good! Good!" Hong Chengchou repeated the word "good" three times.

"There is internal strife between Sun and Li. This is God helping me to unify the Qing Dynasty!"

"Governor, the current civil strife in Yunnan and Guizhou is a God-given opportunity. I, the King of the Qing Dynasty, will take this opportunity to attack Yunnan and Guizhou to annihilate the Yongli court in one fell swoop and fulfill the Governor's long-cherished wish!"

Hong Chengchou's eyes narrowed, and then he let out a sigh of relief. He was scolded by the world after he shaved his hair and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Thieves', help our Qing Dynasty to rule the country, so that since the Qing Dynasty is orthodox, everyone will shave their hair, and those who don't shave their hair will be killed. Who will laugh at Hong Chengchou for shaving his hair in the future?
But Yungui is a tough guy. He has been in Huguang for three years and has been in the southwest for three years. Not only did he not destroy Sun Kewang, but under the threat of more than [-] Western troops, Governor Hong had to switch from offense to defense, leading Wang Fuchen , Li Benzhen and other traitors formed a traitor alliance and led [-] green battalion elite troops to defend Huguang in the hope that the situation would change.

But waiting and waiting, Hong Dushi became more and more old and dizzy, and more and more powerless, and the momentum of the Daxi Army in Yunnan and Guizhou not only did not decrease, but was eager to move against Huguang, making Hong Chengchou almost desperate to wipe out the "thieves" in the Southwest.

Originally, at the beginning of last year, the news came that Li Dingguo led troops to leave Guangxi and enter Yunnan. The 63-year-old Governor Hong was refreshed. As a result, more than a year passed in Yunnan and Guizhou, and there was no movement. It was completely hopeless a month ago.

In October, he had already petitioned the Qing government to dismiss him, saying: After three years of service, he had not regained any ground. But in just one month, news of the civil war between Sun and Li came, and Sun Kewang led his troops to leave Guangxi to let the veteran Hong The Governor's spirit was greatly boosted, and he hurriedly went to the Qing court to attack Yungui according to the previous plan. Now that Sun Kewang's letter of borrowing troops had arrived, Governor Hong's spirit was revived. His old muddy eyes had already seen the victory. the horizon.

Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice: "Sun Kewang is not to be underestimated. He has managed Yunnan and Guizhou for ten years and made the southwest like an iron bucket. Now that he leads his troops away, please lend me the master of the Qing Dynasty. If he can appease this person, the overall situation in the southwest will be settled." ! My unification of the Qing Dynasty is just around the corner!"

"Yes!" The cronies and staff said: "In the past, Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, and Liu Wenxiu attacked Sichuan in the north, Huguang in the east, and Guangxi in the south. Our Qing army lost consecutive battles. Fortunately, King Pingxi defeated the traitor Liu Wenxiu in Baoning. The main force defeated Sun Kewang in Baoqing, and King Pingnan and King Jingnan defeated Li Dingguo in Zhaoqing and Xinhui."

"In the past, the feud between Sun and Li led to a change in the situation in Hunan. The commander-in-chief Ke Wang had been conducting military operations in the southwest for several years. Sun Kewang lived in Yunnan-Guizhou and acted condescendingly. He also had a large number of elite soldiers and generals in his hands to guard the dangerous places in the southwest. Although the commander-in-chief worked hard, Yun-Guizhou There is no gap to take advantage of. Now that Sun and Li are at odds again, Li Dingguo has occupied Yunnan and Guizhou, and Sun Kewang is in exile in Guangxi. This is the perfect opportunity for the imperial court to unify the world! If Sun Kewang can be appeased, it will be easy to conquer Yunnan and Guizhou!"

Hong Chengchou smiled and said: "The governor is now going to play the imperial court and state the key points. This golden opportunity must not be missed!" There is no way to neglect this governor! When they arrive in Changsha, the governor will personally host a banquet to show them the courtesy of me, Hong Chengchou. Not only that, but the governor will also invite Sun Kewang to be king, ranking first among the kings of Han. The feudal clan builds a mansion, and Yongzhen is a province!"
