In Yangzhou, the urgent delivery of Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, made Shunzhi, who could not cross the river because the sailor was locked, even more angry.
Li Guoying said that Wang Doni of Xinjun led the army from Guiyang to return north through central Sichuan, and went to Baoning to count the Manchurian army of less than 20,000, and half of the armor and ordnance were discarded, which can be called an embarrassment.
In addition, Li Guoying sued Doni, saying that King Xin led the army to rob the military rations that Gao Minzhan, the governor of Sichuan, had hoarded in Chengdu, and brazenly set troops to wash the city, extorting the children in the city to take gold and silk, and those who could not do it were taken prisoner.
Gao Minzhan is a strong word, and he will return the wives and daughters of the generals before one or two years ago, and the rest will not be sent.
This move made everyone indignant in the former Ming Dynasty in Sichuan, half of the poor starved to death, half of the murderers died, half of the children were plundered, and those who were not so miserable.
At the end of Li Guoying's recital, Gao Minzhan attached a secret report: "Confident that the king returned to the west, several cities in Guizhou were destroyed in one fell swoop, and all the people's houses were burned down.
The soldiers entered Sichuan, whipped the poor people day and night, set up wine and food to pay the soldiers, and ran beans and horses.
Halfway through the journey, the army had no food, first the people were fed, then the captured children were eaten, and then the battalion soldiers were killed for meat and meat, and the remnants of the land were more than 10,000.
Under the sword, regardless of the people, there is no shortage of gentry on the anvil, and the hearts of the people in Sichuan are lost" "Without my edict, how dare Doni abandon Guizhou" Shunzhi was very annoyed, he was not annoyed by how many Han children were robbed by the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers, how many Han people were eaten, how many surrendered soldiers were killed, how many surrendered troops were forced to rebel, and how unpopular the Qing Dynasty was in the southwest, in his opinion, these are not important, the important thing is that Doni withdrew the army without a holy decree, which is to regard the law and discipline of the imperial court as nothing Shunzhi was annoyed and wanted to issue an order to investigate and deal with Doni, Sonny and Aobai were shocked, and hurriedly persuaded the master not to worry first, since King Xin had arrived in Boryeong, there must be an urgent delivery.
Abandoning land and losing land is a capital crime in the Qing Dynasty, and no matter how confused King Xin is, he will never do it for no reason, so there must be something wrong in the southwest that caused King Xin to withdraw his troops in a hurry.
You may wish to wait until the king is in the king's position before making a decision.
"What can happen in the southwest, then Zhu Youlang has abandoned the country and fled, is it possible that he will fight back" Shunzhi was still angry, but he didn't insist on investigating Doni, after all, Jidu was killed, Yue Le was captured, and if this Doni was investigated again, the three princes of the Qing Dynasty would be lost.
Besides, Yue Le's matter was opposed by the Queen Mother and the whole of Manchuria, and he did it under great pressure.
At the moment, he needs the whole of Manchuria to work together to tide over the difficulties, so he must not do anything to provoke the whole of Manchuria.
Sure enough, the next day, Doni's express arrived, and the news on the express made Shunzhi and Sony both surprised, because Doni claimed that Wu Sangui had brought back Zhu Youlang from Burma, and his opposition was obvious, so he had to lead the Manchurian and Mongolian soldiers to abandon Guizhou and return to the west, so as to guard the line of Baoning and Hanzhong, and prevent Wu's army from entering Sichuan to attack Shaanxi and threaten Guanzhong.
"How can Wu Sangui be opposed, I treat him with kindness to the Wu family, how can he be opposed" Shunzhi couldn't believe it, he didn't believe that Wu Sangui would rebel, because he married his sister Jianning to Wu Sangui's son Wu Yingxiong, and promoted Wu Sangui to the prince of Pingxi.
How could he have reversed?
"You say, does Wu Sangui really want to rebel?"
Shunzhi jumped like thunder and smashed the furnishings in the house, so frightened that Sonny and Aobai and the attendant of the army, Ma Leji, knelt there and didn't dare to move.
Half a sound, after the master calmed down, Sonny said: "There is no news that Wu Sangui has rebelled in Sichuan, and the slave thinks that Wu Sangui has rebelled on this basis." ” Sony has a serious opinion, after all, it is only Xin Wang Zuo, and Credible Wang Zuo did not say that the Wu army attacked him, so he thought that Xin Wang probably did not want to stay in the southwest, so he used Wu Sangui to flee back with the excuse that Wu Sangui had a rebellion.
Shunzhi said angrily: "If he has no objection, why did he take Zhu Youlang back" Sony was stunned, not knowing how to answer.
Ao Bai said: "The slave thinks that Wu Sangui may not really have any objections, and he may be waiting to see the situation when he takes Zhu Youlang back." ” "Wait and see the situation" Shunzhi snorted coldly, "You might as well just say that he Wu Sangui is not optimistic about me, and wait for me to finish, so that he can become a hero of the Ming Dynasty."
"Master, no matter whether Wu Sangui is wait-and-see, or whether he supports the army and is self-respecting, or whether he really has opposing intentions, the court can't question him at the moment, otherwise it will really force him to rebel, and in that case, the Qing Dynasty is facing two-line pressure, and it is really difficult to support."
It was Malerji who spoke, he was a native of the Yellow Banner of Manchuria, who lived in Suwan, and his great-ancestor Dabang'a, and Taizu came and went.
In the ninth year of Shunzhi, Malerji was the first in the examination of translators, and he was the first champion in Manzhou, and he was very favored by Shunzhi.
Wu Sangui took Zhu Youlang back, supported the army and respected himself, and the court kept him to raise tigers, but that was only in the future.
What the result is, no one can predict, but the Jiangnan Taiping Army is worried at the moment, if it is not cleared in time, it may endanger the Jiangshan community. ” After Maleji finished speaking, Ao Bai immediately echoed: "Maleji is right.
The slave thinks that from the perspective of social safety, whether Wu Sangui has different intentions or not, it is a kind of speculation.
However, it is a fact that Wu Sangui has heavy troops, and those who have not yet been included in the formation, the troops that Wu Sangui has are probably unexpected, and if he turns against Wu Sangui at this time, it will not be of any benefit to the imperial court."
"Wu Sangui's strength is so strong now," Shunzhi was surprised.
Ao Bai nodded and said: "I'm afraid that there will be no less than 100,000 people, this is just the opinion of the slaves, no matter whether what the king played is true or not, the court has to treat this matter as if it does not exist, if it is an edict, it will inevitably intensify the contradiction between the court and Wu Sangui, at that time, I am afraid that I will not succeed in catching the tiger, but will be injured by the tiger."
Sonny shook his head when he heard this: "The minion disagrees with Aobai's statement, knowing that Wu Sangui has a self-respecting army, and if he doesn't take measures to restrain it, won't he be even more destroyed by the tiger."
Ao Bai retorted: "It is true that Wu Sangui has heavy troops, but he will have troops to compete with the imperial court, that is just a guess."
Speculation is speculation, and it cannot be equated with facts."
Sonny said: "Even if King Xin is just a guess, we can't let it take its course, we must suppress it, we can't watch Wu Sangui wait and see, once the court is unfavorable, won't he immediately raise the anti-flag" Ma Leji said: "With the current strength of the imperial court to compete with Wu Sangui, there is indeed a worry that the tiger will not be captured, but will be injured by the tiger."
However, if Wu Sangui was allowed to send troops to Huguang and let him and the Ming army consume each other, it would not only achieve the effect of quelling the rebellion, but also resist it.
After a pause, he said: "The slave thinks that although Zhu Youlang is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, it is the foundation of rotten wood, and it can be cleaned up without blowing dust, and although Zhou Shixiang and Zhang Huangyan are the end, they are full of vitality.
Only by letting Wu Sangui give up his original quest for the end will his strength be greatly depleted. ”oshow7 t1706231537:
