Chapter 214: The Hidden Wu Sangui
“Is it really time now?”
On Wuhua Mountain in Kunming, Yunnan, Wu Sangui, the King of Pingxi of the Qing Dynasty, who had finally reunited after many years, was now sitting in a high pavilion on the top of the mountain, looking at the rolling mountains in the distance, thinking for a while, then asked Wu Yingxiong, Liu Xuanchu, who had just returned to Yunnan, and Fang Guangchen, two major advisers who had been with him to make suggestions.
He now said to the public that he had been secretly dying before he recovered from illness. Now Wu Yingxiong is lively as soon as he comes back, which makes him, a "crawly" treacherous hero, too unemployed.
In addition, there is another advantage that Wu Sangui continues to pretend to be sick, which is that he does not have to meet Zhu and Jin's envoy Chen Gongyin immediately, so that he can discuss the rebellion with his confidant again.
No matter how you look at this "Treacherous Master Wu" does not belong to Cao Cao, but to Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu. You definitely forget your life when you see small profits and cherish your life when you do big things!
When the Qing Dynasty gave him some small profits, he killed Yongli, who fled to Myanmar!
Now it's time to rebel, he looked back and shrank back.
From this point of view, he is not as good as Geng Jingzhong!
"Father," said Wu Yingxiong, who had a loyal and honest look on his face, "If it were the third prince of Zhu in Guangdong and the third grandson of Zhu, the third party of Zhu, can be maintained for a long time, you can raise Tiannian in Yunnan. But now Guangzhou is in a hurry. If you don't help the Zhu family and son, and wait for the court to take care of the Zhu family, we will be the next one to be slaughtered!"
"Do you really think so?" Wu Sangui turned around and looked at his honest son, "Do you think Kangxi's Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers are made of paper?"
"It's not as good as paper," Wu Yingxiong shook his head, "but if there is no place where cavalry can be traversed, they may not be very good."
Wu Sangui remained silent.
Wu Yingxiong smiled and said, "Father, my son has been in Beijing for a long time and has met with the Eight Banners soldiers every day. He knows their background best. Not to mention others, but to say that their Bayala camp in Manchuria is not as strong as the personal soldiers on Wuhua Mountain. If there is a fight between the two sides, your personal soldiers in Wuhua Mountain will definitely beat them all over the ground. As for Kangxi's more than 500 imperial guards, it would be even more unreasonable. He would eat, drink, have fun, and do not do serious business. He would probably not see them when his son entered and left the Taihe Gate. If he really wanted to have a thunder or something, he would go in and explode the emperor."
"Really?" Wu Sangui didn't believe it.
How could it be so loose?
When Dorgon was still there, the guards of the Forbidden City were all Manchurian white-armored soldiers! The guards guarding the Taihe Gate were even more amazing, they looked like they wanted to eat human flesh!
"Father, can your son still lie to you?" Wu Yingxiong said, "Besides, my son has always been a loyal and loyal person in the Qing Dynasty. Even if he was withdrawing the vassal, he would not object. As long as the court can properly arrange the brothers under our vassal, it would be fine."
Wu Sangui nodded. His eldest son really had no ambitions, so he wanted to spend his life with the fat princess in a plain manner.
Liu Xuanchu, who was standing aside, interrupted, "Criminal Master, you forgot to tell me something. I heard that over the past twenty years, it has been a bit difficult for the Eight Banners of Beijing to have a son!"
Wu Sangui looked at his son, "Is there anything wrong?"
Wu Yingxiong nodded, "Yes, yes, there is something wrong with this, maybe it's because there are too many killings in the past few years, and I have never seen a few descendants in the house. Therefore, there are very few people in the Eight Banners Manchus, and the number of soldiers on the Eight Banners may be less than 50,000. Just a few people will be defeated if they fight fiercely!"
When the Eight Banners were suffering and cold outside the pass, it was not difficult to have children at all. Except for the function of Dorgon, everyone was raised in a nest. Otherwise, they would not be able to withstand the war in the pass and the consumption of infectious diseases in the south!
However, after they established Beijing, the Eight Banners' children gradually stopped giving birth to babies. As the ruling nation, the population not only did not grow, but also showed a decline, which was also a spectacle!
Of course, this incident was not because of the incompatibility of the local environment, nor because of the punishment of God, but because of the urbanization of the Eight Banners, the joint effect of the non-intermarriage of Manchu and Han Dynasty and the Eight Banners talent show system.
Urbanization is originally "contraceptive", but Manchus and Han dysfunction and strict isolation have also been implemented, which has caused the poorer children of the Eight Banners to marry "country girls".
The Eight Banners Selection System monopolizes the resources of the Eight Banners girls, which are already limited, and first serve as the upper class for selection. The upper class of the Eight Banners does not engage in monogamy, so it will inevitably lead to imbalance between men and women in the middle and lower class.
In addition, the Eight Banners talent selection system has greatly delayed the marriage and childbirth age of the Eight Banners women.
According to regulations, women of the Eight Banners must participate in the talent show between the ages of thirteen and seventeen and cannot marry privately.
Except for some of the people who can get married and have children immediately, most of them are actually palace maids, and they can only leave the palace to get married until they are over 25 years old. They do not pack their luggage and go out to the palace to have children at the age of 25, but they "start to release them", and they go to the third year of the year.
Those who are not selected will not be allowed to marry by themselves before the age of 20. They must continue to be candidates, otherwise their families will be severely punished.
Some people have passed the primary election between choosing and not choosing, and the re-election period has exceeded the time limit, and even will not be able to get married for life.
Finally, the Eight Banners women also have hard-core crops to take. Those who have entered the palace and become palace maids will definitely have a lot of savings, which makes them financially independent and can not rely on men to support them.
Under this situation, the value of the Eight Banners women will definitely rise slowly, which further makes it difficult for the Eight Banners children to marry a wife.
So these Eight Banners have household registration in Beijing, the inner city courtyard, and the hard-core crops. There are more opportunities for promotion and wealth than ordinary Han people. I don’t know how many times it is to marry a wife, and having children is more difficult!
Liu Xuanchu smiled and said, "Prince, not only do there not only the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers, but there are not even many Eight Banners soldiers with the "No Heavenly Soldiers".
Our people don’t have to worry about them at all in the south of the Yangtze River, which is densely covered with water! Now, the green camp soldiers in Hunan, Jiangxi, Hubei and other places have drawn a lot of them to the front line of Guangdong. Most of the green camp soldiers in Guizhou and Sichuan are the princes and your old subordinates. As long as you join forces, they will respond accurately. Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Huguang will be your world.
In addition, Wang Fuchen, the admiral of Pingliang in Shaanxi, is also yours. If the prince ordered the second prince to personally bring 10,000 or 20,000 elite troops out of Sichuan and enter Shaanxi, Shaanxi can also take it immediately. The strong soldiers and brigades in the northwest will all belong to the prince. At that time, why worry about the world's surname is not Wu?"
Wu Sangui still has strength! Although he only has more than 30,000 flag soldiers on the surface, a large number of green camp generals such as Sichuan Admiral Zheng Jiaolin, Sichuan General Wu Zhimao, Pingliang Admiral Wang Fuchen and other green camp generals are all Wu Sangui's old confidants.
So once Wu Sangui reversed, the following group of people followed him back! Emperor Kangxi would lose several provinces at once.
"Prince," Wu Sangui's other confidant Wang Shirong also said at this time, "I am good friends with Wang Fuchen, and I can tell you that Wang Fuchen will turn against you. If you get help from Wang Fuchen, it will be easy to take down Shaanxi!"
"Prince, raise an army!" The person who spoke now was Fang Guangchen. He was the son of Fang Yizao, the former governor of Liaodong. Like Liu Xuanchu and Wang Shirong, he strongly advocated against the Qing Dynasty. He was worried that Wu Yingxiong, who had never been ambitious, would oppose the uprising, but Wu Yingxiong's words just now had already expressed his anti-Qing position, so he no longer encouraged and said to Wu Sangui with a smile: "Kangxi is working hard to deal with the third prince Zhu in Guangdong. If we raise an army to fight Huguang, Tuhai, and the Qing army led by Sun Yanling in Guangdong will inevitably be destroyed by the south of the Yangtze River. There will be no one to stop your army. Your army will be rare!"
