Chapter 7 Wu Sangui, do you want to rebel?
(Please collect, recommend, and read)
The famous Wuhua Mountain is actually a small hill in Kunming City, close to Cuihu Lake and Yuantong Mountain. It occupies a small area, about 2560 acres, and is a good place in Kunming City.
Wu Sangui, an old traitor whose hands were stained with the blood of the people, now built a splendid palace here according to the mountains, and lived a good life to take care of himself.
As for getting a promotion, moving to a higher level in his career, etc., this old traitor probably has no such intention at the moment. Maybe, maybe, he really has no intention of doing so.
Well, no one can guarantee that Wu Sangui will not be motivated. After all, this old guy has a very strange hobby - collecting rebels!
In fact, Wu Sangui himself was a rebel, a double rebel. He first rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and defected to Dashun, and then rebelled against Dashun and defected to the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the direct lineage of Guan Ning who followed him were at least "two rebels and three ministers" - all
He was a loyal minister who rebelled against the second dynasty and served the three masters. He was truly loyal beyond words!
But "revolt against the second dynasty and serve as three masters" is just the starting point for Wu Sangui's "anti-thief group", and his experience in rebellion is really not the richest. Wu Sangui is helping the Qing Dynasty to defeat Li Chuang and Zhang Xianzhong.
In the process of fighting against the Southern Ming Dynasty, we also collected a group of "Three Anti-Four Ministers" or "Four Anti-Five Ministers" with more exciting resumes. Many of them fought against the Ming Dynasty, Dashun (Daxi), Nan Ming and other dynasties, and some even
They still go back and forth among the various forces, both rebelling and being "returning ministers" without blushing at all. All of them are leaders with extremely rich experience in rebellion, and they can all be regarded as rebellion experts.
Wu Sangui, an old thief, does not discriminate against those who come and go. As long as they have the ability and are willing to hang out with him, he will like them and give them benefits. For example, his right commander, the commander-in-chief of the middle battalion, Ma Bao, followed him.
Li Zicheng defected to the Southern Ming Dynasty, followed Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo in the Southern Ming camp, and finally shaved his head and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and surrendered to Wu Sangui.
And Wang Fuchen, who was sent by Shunzhi to mix with Wu Sangui, had a more exciting resume than Ma Bao! Those were Dashun, Ming, Qing, and Nanming. And the Qing Dynasty, not to mention the "four rebellions and five ministers", he also created the Ming Dynasty (Nanming Dynasty) three times
) rebelled against him and became a minister of the Qing Dynasty twice!
This nickname of Lu Bu is really not random.
Wu Sangui has gathered so many rebellion experts under his command that it is really difficult to convince the little Emperor Kangxi in Beijing that he is a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty! What can you people do together every day? Are you exchanging rebellion experiences and improving yourself?
Rebel technology?
Today, when Wang Fuchen and Wang Jizhen and his son went to Wuhua Mountain, Wu Sangui was studying how to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty in the Yin'an Hall on Wuhua Mountain with a group of rebel professionals!
This thing is really not easy! Wu Sangui and his gang have plenty of experience in rebellion. They are not good at being loyal ministers!
In addition, Wu Sangui, who had never known how to be a loyal minister, killed Lord Yongli, and the Qing court became more and more dissatisfied with Wu Sangui and his gang. You, Wu Sangui, don't even know how to respect yourself when raising bandits. How can this happen?
Maybe a loyal minister?
See how Pingnan King Shang Kexi became a loyal minister? People are very rare for the great Chaozhou rebel Qiu Hui. This pirate has even branded himself as "Chaozhou Mansion of the Ming Dynasty". Shang Kexi is not willing to send troops to annihilate it, but
With his separatist control of the Haojiang estuary, he also had a monopoly on private salt in Guangdong, and even made Dahao Port, controlled by Qiu Da's rebels, one of the three legal smuggling ports along the Qing Dynasty's coast, on par with Macau and Xiamen.
As for Geng Jimao of Fujian, he is even more loyal. Xiamen Island, which fell into the hands of the Qing Dynasty due to Zheng Ming's internal strife in the early years, was successfully lost after the sea ban was implemented, and Zheng Ming took it back. Now Xiamen has become
Zheng Ming and the base for legal smuggling trade in the coastal areas of the Qing Dynasty - I am afraid that Zheng Jing will starve to death and die of poverty!
But despite this, the job of asking for money is getting more and more difficult. The court refuses to give it freely, and the hearts of the courtiers are getting darker and darker!
Except for a small number of these vassal servants and Green Camp officers and soldiers who were from Wu Sangui's old Guan Ning tribe, the rest had been in Chuangying and Xiying. Not only were these people full of rebellious spirit, but they were also not convinced by the Qing Dynasty——
Many of them could follow Li Dingguo to fight against the Qing Dynasty. In their view, the so-called Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers were not invincible.
Of course, after the money comes, Ping Xifan will not be the only one to eat it. All the Qing Dynasty pillars in the court will have to share the money, otherwise Wu Sangui's people will not get the money.
"Ying Qi, stop talking!" Wu Sangui suddenly spoke, interrupting the middle-aged man who was speaking freely.
Therefore, Wu Sangui has not gone to Beijing to pay a pilgrimage to the Qing Emperor for many years, and he still clings to the military power in his hands. Since he cannot support the bandits to respect themselves, then support the soldiers to respect themselves!
"Brother Fuchen, you are here at the right time. Please give me some details. Ao Taishi wrote to me a few days ago and complained about my poverty. He wants to reduce the salary of your officers and soldiers, reduce the number of soldiers, and increase the vassal vassal.
Ding Yu dismissed the farming. Is it possible that the military expenses for the eight years of Kangxi's reign would reach three million taels?"
Therefore, although he refused to enter the court, he would still send his important ministers to Beijing year after year to ask for money from the court to raise troops. This year, it fell to Wu Guogui to go to Beijing to ask for money.
Let’s look at Wu Sangui’s side. People on the side of Wu Sangui cannot be resurrected. Even if the Wu traitor thinks about it day and night, Emperor Yongli will never come back! So he can only organize some Miaoman rebellion to support the bandits’ self-respect. But the problem is
, How can these Miaoman chieftains compare with Yongli? These people are just a bunch of local emperors if they are pushed to death, and it is impossible to seize the country of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty raised Wu Sangui to control the Miaoman people, it would be better to let those chieftains separate themselves, as if threatening
A little smaller.
"Your Majesty, isn't it just to reduce the salary of our officers and soldiers when Grand Master Ao writes to you?" Wang Fuchen sighed and said, "Master Ao is not easy to talk to. I wonder how much you deserve, Your Majesty."
Reduce military expenses a bit."
And how could a vassal king who was hiding in Yunnan and refusing to enter the court, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, and a large group of rebel professionals not want to rebel?
At this moment, when he saw Wang Fuchen coming up the mountain to pay homage, Wu Sangui, a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty who was thinking about how to make money, talked about asking for money with this "reverse loyal minister" who got along well with him.
This is really the conscience of heaven and earth! Although Wu Sangui didn't look like a loyal minister in any way, he really didn't want to rebel. He just wanted to maintain the strength to rebel at any time, and then be a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty with peace of mind.
This strong man is Wu Yingqi, the second son of Wu Sangui, and Wu Shicong, the eagle-eyed wolf, is his son. Although Wu Sangui's son is a bit big-mouthed, people with big mouths usually tell the truth. Wu Sangui's subordinates still have a large population.
The number of families with green battalion soldiers is indeed growing rapidly. They all have to get married and have children. Many people want more than one wife. How many children can they have?
In addition, although today's Yungui is very poor, the cost of living is also low, it is cheap to raise children, and there is enough land to distribute to those children, so Wu Sangui's subordinates and the Green Camp soldiers can work hard to make a living.
"It can't be reduced!" A middle-aged man in his mid-thirties who looked a bit like Wu Sangui and Wu Shicong jumped up and shouted when he heard that the money was going to be reduced, "Now that the population of the feudal lord is increasing, the officers and soldiers of the Green Camp
Most of them have families, and their expenses are getting higher and higher! Although we have also allocated land to the vassals and the officers and soldiers of the Green Camp in Yungui, Yungui's land is still too thin, so we can only subsidize it a little, if it is salary.
I've lost too much, and I'm afraid I won't have enough to eat and drink. These are men who have been beaten to death for their whole lives. It's better to have good food and drink, otherwise it will be..."
Therefore, the more Wu Sangui fostered self-esteem in Yunnan and Guizhou, the more the Beijing court felt that he was going to rebel! The more the Beijing court felt that he was going to rebel, the more they tried to weaken him. And the more the court weakened Wu Sangui, the more Wu Sangui felt that he was going to rebel.
Not safe.
If the Qing court wanted to reduce their money and make them live a hard life, they might really rebel!
However, it was not appropriate to say this in front of Wang Fuchen. Although Wang Fuchen was also a professional rebel, his staff was in the Ministry of Internal Affairs after all.
When Wu Sangui was about to ask Wang Fuchen whether he could take a walk around the palace or ask the old queen mother to speak to him, his eldest grandson Wu Shicong had already rushed in out of breath and was behind Wu Sangui in a flash.
, and even whispered into Wu Sangui’s ear.
As soon as Wu Shicong finished speaking, Wu Sangui himself looked at Wang Fuchen with curiosity, "Fuchen, your son Zhongxiao is going to compete with my grandson Shijue again."
Wang Fuchen laughed and said: "Young people, a fight is nothing. By the way, who won?"
Wu Sangui shook his head and asked with a smile: "We haven't competed yet, we will compete tomorrow. And your son also said that this time he will use your unique skills to deal with the Manchu white armored soldiers in Datong against Shi Jue! Assistant Minister,
What is this unique skill of yours? Can you tell me about it?"
