Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 564: A soldier makes a good son-in-law (Part )
What! Thief Sun's son wants to marry my daughter? Pooh! Toad wants to eat!

After listening to Ren Zun's words, Great Khan Lianhua's face suddenly darkened. That fellow Sun Kewang was too careless about being of the same family! What is your family background? I am an old farmer from northern Shaanxi who has descended from my ancestors for generations; what is my family background? Chief Huite, who has been here for generations, although he is the chief of the Mountain Savage Tribe, is also a chief and a serious nobleman! I want your dog to climb up to my noble daughter, bah! Don't even think about it!
"What is the name of the Crown Prince of Qin? When was he born? I need Shaobu Great Shaman to perform a divination to see if the Crown Prince and Princess Hami are compatible. Please step aside first." Naturally, Suletan, who is very deep in the city, will not He refused on the spot, but pretended to ask King Qin for his son's name and birthday. He planned to ask his confidant Shaman Shaobu to say that the two of them were not suitable for each other, so as to reject the other party and leave room for him.

Ren Zunshi Shiran withdrew, and Sultan repelled the people around him, preparing to return to the palace to rest. Suddenly, he saw that Liu Haogu, a bachelor and minister of the Ministry of Rites, refused to leave. Knowing that he had something to say, he let him enter the side hall and asked, "Master Liu, do you have something to say to me?"

"If your Majesty wants to conquer the world, please agree to this marriage," Liu Haogu said slowly.

"The thief Sun wants to take Zhu Ming and replace him. He offends his superiors and uses his ministers to bully his master. This is extremely unfaithful and unjust. I hate him to the core and want to get rid of him to strengthen the relationship. Why do you advise me to marry him instead?" Su Le Tan asked unhappily.

"Your Majesty, Sun Kewang has opened his mouth to ask for Princess Hami for his son. He must have done some understanding before coming here. He knows that Princess Hami is the daughter of Her Royal Highness the Queen. She has a distinguished status. It seems that she is bound to win."

"Hmph! I won't allow it, so what can he do? Am I afraid of a little thief?" Sultan said disdainfully.

"Of course you are not afraid of a mere bandit. However, the Daxi Army has more than 200,000 troops. Sun Kewang's direct army has more than 100,000 troops. It is really a force that cannot be underestimated! I believe that Sun Kewang will not be able to succeed and will be defeated in the long run. . If you marry him, his troops will be yours on the day of his defeat. Since ancient times, those who have done great things have not followed trivial matters. Please think twice."

After listening to Liu Haogu's words, Suletan fell into deep thought. In the original history, Sun Kewang's attempt to usurp the throne was unpopular. He was defeated at the hands of Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu in the Battle of Jiaoshui Sanchakou. He had no choice but to angrily defect to the Manchus. The Qing government specially decreed to make him the Righteous King and ordered him to recruit and surrender the old Qin vassal troops. This directly led to the defection and surrender of many former Daxi Army generals after the Qing army entered the southwest. If he and Sun Thief get married, I am afraid that the target of their defection in the future will not be the Manchus but themselves, and several southwestern provinces will be easily accessible.

Although he knew in his heart that marrying Sun Thief would be politically beneficial to him, Suletan, who regarded himself as an eighth-generation aristocrat, despised Sun Kewang, an eight-generation old peasant, and felt that he should marry the proud daughter of his family. The son of Sun Kewang's family suffered a great loss. You must know that Princess Toya of Hami is not an ordinary princess. She was born to herself and Queen Uli Jibayar, and her status is far more noble than other princesses.

He didn't need to hide it from his master, he said straightforwardly: "Uh, Master Liu, Princess Hami is the apple of my eye and the queen's. If I marry the white swan to the toad, I'm afraid the queen will blame me."

Liu Hao Gu Le said, "I heard that Sun Kewang's eldest son, Sun Zhengqi, has a refined and handsome appearance, a gentle and filial character, and is deeply loved by Sun Kewang. He is regarded as a dragon and a phoenix among people."

"Huh," Suletan hummed, staring at his boots without speaking.

Liu Haogu knew that his disciple liked to stare at his boots whenever he was hesitant about big things, and said with a smile: "Since ancient times, those who have achieved great things have always valued fame over reality. In troubled times, military power ranks first. Although Sun Kewang is a homeless person, He was born a thief, but he ruled three provinces and had more than 200,000 soldiers. Emperor Yongli was of noble blood, but he had no soldiers, so what was the use? Your majesty is wise and powerful, and you should understand this truth."

"Yeah," Suletan nodded heavily this time. "Great Khan, Hada, the head of the Wuyi Guards, said that he has an urgent military report." The two were discussing the matter when the guards came to report.

"Let him come in," the long voice of the Great Khan sounded in the side hall.

"Are you saying that Li Dingguo captured Guilin and Kong Youde committed suicide?" After hearing the report, Suletan secretly thought that this period of history had not changed after all. He calmed down and asked: "How did Kong Youde lose so quickly? Please tell me in detail."

"Yes," Hada said slowly, "Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan in the Qing Dynasty, was arrogant. After capturing Guangxi, he did not concentrate his troops. Instead, he stationed them in Quanzhou, Nanning, Liuzhou, and Wuzhou, intending to become the king of Guangxi. Six In the following month, Li Dingguo's troops from the Ming Dynasty entered Guangxi from Huguang. On the 28th, they broke through the whole state and killed the guarding generals Sun Long and Li Yangxing. Kong Youde had no time to assemble the army, so he had to lead the remaining troops in Guilin to Xing'an County to seize the danger and refused to defend. The Ming army was defeated and corpses were floating in the river; on June 30, the Ming army surrounded Guilin; on the fourth day of July, Wu Shengmen was breached, and Kong Youde committed suicide; on August 15, the Ming army regained Wuzhou, and the whole province of Guangxi was pacified."

"Alas! This Kong Youde is also a veteran general, but unexpectedly he violated the taboo of dividing his troops. He also encountered Li Dingguo, a brave and skilled soldier in the Ming army, and was defeated unjustly." Suletan sighed and asked again: "Where is the direction of Sichuan? ?”

"Funan King Liu Wenxiu led more than 40,000 troops into Sichuan in three directions to counterattack the Qing army. On the 9th of August, the Ming army captured Xufu; at the same time, the Ming army Bai Wenxuan's troops counterattacked Chongqing. On the 25th, Chongqing was recaptured; on the 20th, On the 8th, the Ming army defeated the Qing army at Tingxi, 120 miles away from Chongqing; currently, the Qing army Wu Sangui, Li Guohan, and Li Guoying are retreating towards Baoning."

"Master Liu, you are not optimistic about the Western Army's offensive in Sichuan, but now it seems that they are likely to drive the Qing Army out of Sichuan," Suletan said to Liu Haogu with a smile.

"I didn't expect that the Daxi Army was so capable of fighting that it captured the two provinces of Guangxi and Sichuan at once. The four Daxi kings followed Zhang Xianzhong in the north and south for many years. Sure enough, all of them should not be underestimated!" Liu Haogu also couldn't help but admire.

"Haha, among the four kings, Ai Nengqi is dead; Sun Kewang is fifty years old and lacks motivation; but Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu are only in their thirties, which is the time to dare to fight and charge. One of them conquered Guangxi, and the other captured It's not surprising in Sichuan. If Sun Kewang comes, it may not have such an effect." Sultan twisted his beard and smiled.

"Your Majesty, I still said what I said. In troubled times, military power is the first. Now that the Daxi army has strong soldiers and horses, marrying Sun Kewang may not be a good move."

"Well", Suletan nodded slowly, "It's not a business to go to court. Even if I want to marry my daughter, I have to let them beg me."
