Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Lu Wanzhao, the local magistrate of Dongchuan, was a discerning man. Last year, the Qing army entered Yunnan in three groups. Seeing that the Ming Dynasty was in danger, he immediately surrendered to the Qing army and cooperated with the Ming army to attack Li Dingguo's headquarters. After the Qing army entered Kunming, Hong Chengchou, the manager of the five provinces, discussed his merits and rewarded him, and asked the imperial court to give Lu Wanzhao the seal of the Dongchuan Military and Civilian Office.

Because of the good relationship with the Qing Dynasty, the Lu family chieftain's status in Dongchuan was rock-solid. I heard that my old friend Wu Sangui, King of Pingxi, was counterattacking Jianchang and was confronting the guards in the area of ​​Jianchang Acropolis. Lu Wanzhao prepared a reward for the army early and sent his second son Lu Yongsheng to Wu Sangui's camp. Also there was a letter from Long Hongxun, the Zhenxiong chieftain, urging him to raise troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Although the major chieftain families in southern Sichuan are all related by marriage to each other, the main marriage partners of the Dongchuan Lu family are the An family of Zhanyi (Xuanwei, Yunnan) and the Wumenglu family. They can only be regarded as distant relatives with the Zhenxiong Long family. Hongxun made an appointment with himself to rebel against the Qing Dynasty. It would not be a joke if the Qing Dynasty found out. Therefore, the old chieftain chose to tell the secret of his relatives without hesitation. Asking Lu Yongsheng to escort the military supplies to Wu Sangui's military camp also meant to let the second son establish a good relationship with King Pingxi of the Qing Dynasty and facilitate the future control of the Lu family. The old chieftain looked down upon his eldest son Yongchang. The eldest son married a woman from the She family in Yongning. After the She'an Rebellion, the She family in Yongning became a rebel. In the opinion of the old chieftain, the son should cut off his arms and divorce the daughter of the She family immediately and marry a new wife. But the son was grateful for the relationship between the couple. Love, life and death. well! Too soft-hearted! How can Dongchuan Lushi be promoted in the future? I don’t know since when, the thought of abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones came up in my mind.

Lu Wanzhao wanted to get rid of his eldest son, and there was also the factor of his wife Anshi (old Anshi). Among the seven sons, the fourth son, Lu Yongde, died young, and the remaining six sons, the eldest son Yongchang, the second son Yongsheng, the third son Lu Yongbang, and the fifth son Lu Yonggao were born to the old chieftain and his first wife who died of illness; the sixth son Lu Yongming and his seventh son, Lu Yonghou, were born to the old chieftain and his wife An. Although Lu Yongsheng is not a biological son of the An family, Yongsheng, Lu Yongbang, and Lu Yonggao have not given birth to sons. If the eldest son inheritance system is broken, the second son Lu Yongsheng will be the next Dongchuan Tu Zhifu. Sooner or later, the position will belong to his two sons, Lu Yongming and Lu Yonghou. Of the two biological sons, An actually prefers his younger son Lu Yonghou, because Lu Yonghou married a girl from his natal family An's family in Zhanyizhou (Xiao An), while Lu Yongming married the prefect of Wumengtu. The daughter of Lu Chengjue. Men love their wives, and women value their ex-husbands. Under An's encouragement, the old chieftain became more and more eager to abolish the elders and establish younger ones, which made the eldest son Yongchang often feel precarious.

"You all tell me, what do you think about the remnants of the Zhenxiong Long clan and the Yongning She clan colluding with other chieftains to surrender to the defense?" Wu Sangui asked Wu Guogui, Fang Guangchen, and others a little anxiously in the Qing army camp south of Jianchang Acropolis. Liu Maoxia and other confidants. Among the three, Fang Guangchen and Liu Maoxia were the advisers. Wu Guogui was talented in literature and martial arts, and was always highly valued by the Prince of Pingxi.

"Your Majesty, now our army is confronting the Guards in Jianchang. There must be no fire in the backyard. Shuixi Xuan comfort envoy An Kun, Wusa Tu Zhifu An Zhongsheng, Dongchuan Tu Zhifu Lu Wanzhao, and Wumengtu must be stabilized. The prefect Lu Chengjue and other chieftains also sent people to inform the Yongning Guards General to strictly guard against the Zhenxiong local soldiers." Wu Guogui was the first to speak.

Wu Sangui stroked his long beard with his hand, "These chieftains have always been fickle. Fortunately, the Dongchuan Lu family was loyal to the Qing Dynasty and informed the Long family of their treacherous plot. Otherwise, things would have been difficult to control. But how to stabilize these chieftains?"

"Your Highness, since Wan Zhao has tipped off, Dongchuan has no worries; An Kun has always been timid and has no courage to go against the Qing Dynasty. An Zhongsheng always listens to An Kun, so Shuixi and Wu Sa don't have to worry; those who are worried , only Wumeng. Lu Chengjue, the prefect of Wumeng Tu, has an indecisive temperament. Seeing that the guards have captured the two prefectures of Mahu and Xuzhou in the north, he must be unsettled and must immediately send a troop of troops from Jianchang via Dongchuan. If you go to Wumeng to shock you, you may be afraid of changes later." Fang Guangchen offered advice.

"Well, what Ting Xian said makes sense," Wu Sangui nodded again.

"Your Highness, I think the chieftains in other places are not important. The most important thing is Shuixi. Shuixi is at the throat of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, and has always been a battleground for military strategists. An Kun is cowardly and cannot defend Shuixi. You might as well make Sichuan Admiral Zheng Jiaolin rushed to Guiyang to meet with Guizhou Admiral Li Benzhen, and then ordered Li and Zheng to wait for an opportunity to get rid of An Kun and occupy Shuixi." Liu Maoxiao emphasized the military significance of Shuixi.

This time Wu Sangui nodded repeatedly, "Xuanchu and Gu wanted to go together. In fact, Gu had already planned to plot Shuixi, but the guards were approaching Guizhou. How to seize Shuixi without causing great turmoil and benefiting the guards in vain? You have to think of a good idea."

"Your Highness can first station troops in Guiyang. Once the guards enter An Kun's territory, he will definitely ask you for help. You can take the opportunity to enter Shuixi, first unite An Kun to fight against the guards, and then the guards retreat, and then An Kun wants to Kill him in the name of surrendering to the guards, and Shuixi will be yours when the time comes." Liu Maoxia waved his feather fan with some satisfaction.

"Well, just follow what Xuanchu said." Wu Sangui laughed loudly, and ordered the Sichuan Admiral Zheng Jiaolin to rush to Guiyang. Wumeng rushed to Zhenxiong to quell the rebellion.

"Sheng'er is back? What did King Pingxi say?" Lu Wanzhao asked anxiously, looking at his second son Yongsheng returning from Wu Sangui's military camp. "The King of Pingxi asked his son to convey his gratitude to Ada (father) and said that he would report to the court to commend us," Yongsheng looked delighted.

"Well, have you told me how to deal with the remnants of the Zhenxiong Long clan and the Yongning She clan?" Lu Wanzhao asked eagerly.

"The King of Pingxi has ordered Yan Ziming, the commander-in-chief of Yongning Guards, to be on guard. At the same time, he sent commander-in-chief Gao Qilong and deputy general Wang Pingfan to lead three thousand troops to Zhenxiong via Dongchuan and Wumeng to quell the rebellion."

"It seems that the Zhenxiong Long family and the Yongning She family are about to perish." Lu Wanzhao paced anxiously, with a fiery look in his eyes, "Sheng'er will go to Wumeng again and tell me about the in-laws ( Wan Zhao's sixth son Lu Yongming married the daughter of Lu Chengjue, the prefect of Wumengtu, and the opportunity is ripe to expand his territory. We are willing to send troops to help him win Zhenxiong. After that is accomplished, he must give us Ludian."

"Yes, Ada", Yongsheng accepted the order and left.

After the second son left, Lu Wanzhao happily came to An's room. He was an old man and a young wife. He loved the wife he married later.

"Is there anything happy for you today? From a distance, I can feel your joy." An smiled brightly, her age in her early thirties full of the charm of a mature woman.

"The King of Pingxi has sent Gao Qilong, the commander-in-chief of the Zhongyong Left Camp, and Wang Pingfan, the deputy general, to lead three thousand troops to pacify Zhenxiong. They will soon pass through Dongchuan. I am ready to send all the Dongchuan soldiers and contact the Wumeng soldiers to join the Qing army. Crusade against Zhenxiong. After that, the Wumeng Lu family will get Zhenxiong, and I will get Ludian from the Lu family. Wouldn't it be great to have the opportunity to expand the land!" Lu Wanzhao laughed loudly thinking of his happiness.

"Although I have a good idea, I have overlooked one thing," An said leisurely. (End of chapter)
