The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 74

But now it was November, and Wu Sangui was in the midst of rioting. Yesterday Wu Sangui led his troops to pay homage to the Yongli Mausoleum, and that night he arrested Yunnan governor Zhu Guozhi. He no longer had any scruples.

Three cannon shots flew past.

The horn player raised the long horn high, and there was a sad cry of "woo woo", echoing from the empty peaks and mountains.Under the pale sunlight, a bright yellow dragon flag fluttered in the bitter cold wind.Embroidered on it are: "Emperor Zhou and the world are recruiting Generalissimo Wu" in thirteen characters.

Thousands of sergeants all put on white clothes and armor, loosened their braids, and tied them on the top of their heads according to the hairstyle of Xianming.However, the shaved hair on the forehead did not grow out for a while, some were blue, some were white, some were disheveled, and looked a little nondescript. Wu Sanjia walked out of the hall, boarded the general's platform, personally inspected the guard of honor of the three armies, and ordered Zhu Guozhi Tied to the flag, he nodded to Xia Guoxiang.

Xia Guoxiang strode up to the stage with a solemn expression, and shouted to the executioner: "Cut a knife—sacrifice—the flag!"

Then there were three loud bangs, and Zhu Guozhi's bloody head rolled down on the wet grass.Xia Guoxiang shouted again: "Soldiers, stand still and listen to the Generalissimo's call for justice!"

After reading the proclamation, Wu Sangui turned around again, and kowtowed three times and kowtowed nine times to the tablet of "Emperor Zhaolie of Ming Dynasty" Chongzhen enshrined in the middle of the platform.And picked up a glass of wine, lifted it up to the sky, and poured it lightly on the ground, then turned around and issued a military order to the generals:
"The whole world is recruiting Generalissimo Wu, and I would like to inform the generals of the three armies: Geng Jingzhong from Fujian, Shang Zhixin from Guangdong, Sun Yanling from Guangxi, Wang Fuchen from Shaanxi, and all Qin Wangyi divisions have raised their flags and raised their troops to fight against barbarians and di. They will join forces on the banks of the Yangtze River within a few days. I hope that the soldiers of the three armies will fight the enemy bravely, restore the Han Dynasty, and build the world of Emperor Zhou together."

The sergeants below raised their swords and shouted in unison: "Long live the Emperor Zhou Dynasty, and a thousand years for the Generalissimo!"

This earth-shattering mountain call made Wu Sangui very excited.For many years, he had thought and hoped for this day.Today, he finally neither followed Da Ming nor listened to Da Qing, and set up his own banner of Wu Sangui.If you can get out of Yunnan, you can win several battles one after another.The Great Zhou Dynasty with Wu Sangui as emperor is about to be formally established.At that time, the soldiers' mountain call will no longer be "Qian Sui" but "Long live the Great Zhou Emperor".The depression that had been suppressed in his heart for many years was swept away by the voice of the mountain.Amidst the ups and downs of the mountains, he seemed to suddenly be 20 years younger. Surrounded and guarded by the generals, he walked briskly back to Lie Cuixuan in Yin'an Hall.

However, what awaited him was not good news.

Sun Yanling asks for help: Seven thousand soldiers of Fu Honglie gather in Cangwu, preparing to attack Guilin...

Geng Jingzhong is in a hurry: Zheng Jing of Taiwan, with his troops ashore, has occupied three counties...

Loushanguan Urgent Report: Zasa Muha, the imperial envoy's entourage, took the sons of Gan Wen (Huo Kun) and Zhu Guozhi, and fled in disguise. He has already sneaked out of Loushanguan...

An urgent report from the insider dispatched to Yunnan Mansion: The imperial envoy Zhe Erken and Fu Dali fled overnight and their whereabouts are unknown...

well!The banner has just been raised, and the army has not yet set off, it is a series of bad news.An ominous premonition weighed deeply on Wu Sangui's heart.Shang Kexi is an old treacherous villain, Geng Jingzhong's rear is unstable, Sun Yanling and Wang Fuchen are unreliable, Zhu Guozhi would rather die than submit, and Zhe Erken fled overnight.What annoyed Wu Sangui even more was that Zhu Fuxiang and Liu Dabara, who had gathered together in Baodugu, Shandong, had just had an incident, and they were beaten up by the imperial court's troops.

Wu Sangui suddenly became a little annoyed, and he kept yelling at the "dirty bucket" in his mouth, and immediately summoned soldiers to send troops. He believed that the sudden eruption of his latent power for so many years could not be resisted by the yellow-haired boy Kangxi. world.

........................................
The imperial envoy sent to Yunnan has been there for more than three months, but there has been no news; the guards who went to spy on Wu Yingxiong and Yang Qilong have not shown up since they left the palace half a month ago; Although most of Zhong Sanlang's Xiangtang in the capital was wiped out, and the murdered capital's blood flowed like a river, the whereabouts of Yang Qilong, the leader of the bandit, is unknown.All sources of information have been cut off.

Kangxi was keenly aware that no news itself was the biggest news, and a big change was about to begin.

When the situation was changing rapidly, the majestic imperial palace, the smell of lily incense in the gilt enamel tripod was too strong, Kangxi asked someone to remove all the incense from the tripod impatiently, but he still couldn't sit still. Walking out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation with a shake of his hands, he stood under the altar and took a deep breath, as if he wanted to use the clear cold air to dispel the depression in his chest.

He carefully considered the situation more clearly and decided on the next strategy.At this moment, looking at the heavy snow outside the window and the red-burning brazier in the room, Kangxi couldn't help feeling anxious.

Three months ago, the bandits from Shandong raised their flags and rebelled in Baodugu. I issued an edict ordering the governor of Shandong to send troops to kill them. The good news has also spread to the capital. Kangxi felt better now, but he always felt that he was not prepared enough to deal with Wu Sangui He had to be cautious with such an old fox.

But now he is really a dryer, wondering in his heart: "If the situation is urgent, should we call up some cavalry in Mongolia?"

But when he thought of the self-proclaimed king Ge Erdan and the Raksha people who burned, slaughtered and looted the land, Kangxi immediately put out this idea, and suddenly thought of his ancestors who established the country with martial arts, and they were indifferent among millions of troops. Supreme, how can you mess yourself up?

Thinking of this, Kangxi felt relieved and couldn't help walking in the snow...

..............................

Jiang Tao didn't know this, and Jiang Shi, who was confronting the Tartars with the blue flag, didn't dare to be distracted.

The leader of the Xianglan Banner who was gradually approaching was full of disdain, and said with a strange smile: "Where did the monk soldiers come from, dare to offend my tiger prestige of Xianglan Banner, hehe, don't leave a single one behind!"

He has the capital to say this, thinking that he used a bow and a mace to kill more than ten Nanming generals in a row, and now he can still vividly remember, and the more than ten people around him are all elite vests, who have experienced countless times. bloody battle.

Originally, he didn’t have to be a striker because of his official position. He took the initiative to ask for help from the leader. He hadn’t loosened his muscles and bones for many years. The momentary feeling in the head, the dazzling red and white splashes are the subjects he will teach his descendants in the future.

Thinking of the governor's panic, Wohe felt very disdainful. The Han people are timid, and they are just some small bandits who captured the county. As soon as the Eight Banners army arrived, they didn't wait for the wind to surrender.

Looking at the slightly immature face of the other party, but not very frightened, Zuo Lingwo He secretly admired these brave Han people, which are extremely rare, and he has made up his mind to solve the other party in a very short time, as a way to deal with these Fearless monk Bing respected, and a strange feeling emerged in Meng's heart: "Could it be that all the monks in Shaolin Temple rebelled? Otherwise, how could there be so many monks?"
