In today's world, not only the monarch chooses the minister, but the minister also chooses the king.Yan Qiheng's words made Zhao Ming sit upright and take the two seriously."
Why did Mr. choose Wu Yue?"
Zhao Ming said.Yan Qiheng said in a deep voice: "Today, the chaos has been more than 40 years, the people are poor, the people are determined, and the people with lofty ideals all think of a hero, calm the world, and protect the peace of the people."
I look at the world, Beiyi is brutal and unkind, regard the people as slaves, where I Han people should fight to the death, and the court is corrupt, traitorous ministers are in charge, it is difficult to settle the world, the southwest Sun can be hoped, although ambitious, but arrogant, it is difficult to achieve great things, only King Lu and His Royal Highness, can determine the world. ”Zhao Ming couldn't help asking, "Why didn't Mr. choose King Lu?"
”Yan Qiheng said with emotion: "King Lu is the descendant of Taizu, he is the best candidate, I don't choose King Lu, but His Royal Highness, not King Lu is not virtuous, but His Royal Highness is too heroic and martial!"
”When Zhao Ming heard this, he was overjoyed, Yan Qiheng's sycophant made him too comfortable.This means that he is too good, so Yan Qiheng chose him.Zhang Jiayu also said: "The remaining two people, from the lake and Guangzhou, down the river, look at the coastal customs, only under the rule of His Royal Highness, prosperous and peaceful, the people are rich." ”Zhao Ming laughed, and asked the two of them to go to the post house to rest for the time being.A few days later, Zhao Ming went out on patrol to inspect many prefectures and counties in Zhejiang, in order to calm the people's hearts, so that the two accompanied them, and talked very happily along the way, so he appointed Yan Qiheng as the official Cao Senju, and Zhang Jiayu joined the army as the governor of the five armies.~~~~~~ Shengjing City, a general, escorted by dozens of cavalry, entered the Yamen of the Shengjing general.At this time, everyone stopped in front of the yamen, and Wang Yuele of Anjun, wearing a black coat, turned over and dismounted, and his thin eyes flashed with a terrifying cold light.The power struggle within the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been ongoing, and the relationship between the three powerful princes of Azig, Zilharang, and Mandahai has coincided at different times.Emperor Fulin of Shunzhi wanted to liquidate the Dol Rolling Remnant Party, but the Empress Dowager Bumu Butai was worried that after the two white flags lost power, Ji'er Harang and Mandahai became bigger and played a balance game.Not long ago, Azig held the opportunity of the Ming Dynasty's internal strife, the army went south, seized 21 cities south of the Huaijiang River, defeated more than 200,000 Ming troops, and captured military funds piled up, which greatly increased the prestige of Azig's party.Previously, Azig's Xuzhou Legion was the most powerful legion within the Manchu Qing Dynasty, with more than 200,000 troops.This time, after Azig seized a large area of land and population south of the Huai River, and captured tens of thousands of Ming troops, his strength and strength increased a lot, and his strength expanded to 250,000 people, which threatened the internal balance of the Qing Dynasty.Compared with the results achieved by Azig in Huainan, Yue Le fought with the Ming army in Liaodong for several years, spent countless money and grain, but gained nothing, and was even driven out of Liaodong by the Ming army.In this comparison, there is no doubt that Shunzhi can't raise his head, and he has issued many edicts to reprimand Yue Le, and Azig also wrote a book, claiming that his army stopped at the Yangtze River, completely because Yue Le's battle was unfavorable, and he consumed a lot of material resources and troops of the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong, so that the Xuzhou army could not get enough supplies, and there were reinforcements, otherwise he would have crossed the Yangtze River and captured Nanjing.Originally, Yue Le's failure to solve the Ming army in Liaodong had already made the remnants of Dolgon's party in the DPRK criticized, and recently even Gaizhou was lost, but the Ming army opened the door to the Liaohe Plain, which made Shengjing threatened again, and he couldn't raise his head even more."
Lord Wang, people have been waiting for a long time!"
When a Niu Lu saw Yue Le coming, he hurriedly greeted him and grabbed the reins of the horse.Yue Le's face was gloomy, he threw the horsewhip to his subordinates, and then strode into the yamen."
King Anjun has arrived!"
With the shouts of the Eight Banner soldiers, Yue Le quickly walked into the hall, and several generals sitting in the hall immediately turned their heads over, and under the leadership of a blue-armored general with leopard eyes and beards and full of anger, they got up unhurriedly.This group of generals all came from the Guannei, and the people at the head were the Manchurian nobles with the same color of two blue and two yellow flags."
Greetings to the prince!"
Ao Bai led the crowd, saluted very casually, and was not too respectful.Ao Bai was originally a person of Haoge, after the death of Hao Ge, he served Shunzhi, and after Shunzhi was pro-government, I heard that Ao Bai, Sony and others had sworn to "one heart for the Lord, life and death together", and were loyal to Huang Taiji and Haoge, so they had great respect for Ao Bai and regarded him as a confidant.Yue Le's brother Bolo, once took refuge in Dol Roll and was reused by Dol Roll, Yue Le and Dol Roll faction, also used to be very close, and later Man Dahai launched a coup d'état, Yue Le took refuge in Shunzhi, and he could not be regarded as Shunzhi's henchman.Therefore, although he is a prince, he does not dare to underestimate Ao Bai and others.After all, he was the one who defected and joined temporarily, and Ao Bai and the others, although they were not members of the royal family, were hardcore supporters of the Huang Taiji line, and they had never betrayed.When Shunzhi looked at him and Aobai and others, most of them were closer to Aobai, and he didn't have the confidence to fight in Liaodong, so Yue Le could only pretend not to see Aobai's rudeness."
Excuse me!"
Yue Le waved his hand and walked to the middle hall and sat down.Ao Bai and the others, before Da Qian'er knelt down, he immediately stood up when he heard the words, and sat on both sides.Yue Le's face was a little gloomy when he saw this, but he still suppressed his anger and said in a sullen voice: "The emperor sent you out of the customs, I don't know why?"
”Ao Bai said coldly: "This prince should be clear.The prince fought like this in Liaodong, and Azig was about to ride to the emperor's head, which made the emperor very angry, so he sent me and others to help a group of princes. ”Yue Le's face turned red, embarrassed and annoyed, "Don't you know that Zhao Zamao's army is difficult to fight, the entire Liaodong is full of trenches, the army and Ben can't advance, and the grain and grass in the pass are not timely, so this king didn't open the situation." ”Ao Bai disagreed, Azig was able to annihilate Zhao Zamao's 30,000 elite soldiers in Jiangbei, and Zhao Zamao was almost wiped out, so Zhao Zamao was not invincible."
Lord, don't talk about this now."
Ao Bai said in a deep voice: "Wu Sangui in Hanzhong has news that Sun Kewang is besieged in Xixiang County, and Li Dingguo is blocked in Dingjun Mountain, unable to reinforce Sun Kewang, Sun Kewang has the intention of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty.Now, the emperor has ordered Meng Qiaofang to send someone to appease Sun Kewang, once Sun Kewang surrenders to the Qing Dynasty, it is an excellent time for the Qing Dynasty to enter Shu.At that time, the prince's side can no longer drag the court back. ”After Sun Kewang was ambushed by Fu Shangrui, the back road was cut off by the Ming army, and he could only lead more than 30,000 people to march to Hanzhong.Wu Sangui really didn't expect that Sun Kewang would go to Yong to attack Hanzhong, and he was caught off guard at first, losing Xing'an, Hanyin, Shiquan and other places, but Sun Kewang didn't have enough troops after all, so he didn't break through to Nanzheng and couldn't fight when he hit Xixiang County.Wu Sangui hurriedly transferred troops, blocked Sun Kewang in Xixiang, and attacked Li Dingguo in Hanzhong from Shudao, fighting for several months, and with the reinforcement of the Qing army in Guanzhong, the offensive of the Western Army gradually exhausted, and finally Li Dingguo was blocked by Wu Sangui in Dingjun Mountain in the west of Nanzheng, and Sun Kewang was surrounded in Xixiang County in the east of Nanzheng.Now, it is impossible for the Xichuan soldiers to capture Hanzhong, and Li Dingguo can still retreat into Shu Road, but Sun Kewang is trapped in Xixiang and has no way out.At this time, the Xichuan soldiers and Wu Sangui were still facing each other in Hanzhong, Li Dingguo wanted to save Sun Kewang, but was blocked by Wu Sangui, and Wu Sangui was unable to attack Sun Kewang because he was restrained by Li Dingguo.However, the Shu Road was difficult, Li Dingguo had difficulty in supplying, and sooner or later he would have to run out of food and retreat, and every day of delay would become more and more unfavorable to the Xichuan army.Sun Kewang saw that if there was no new force to join in to break the deadlock, he would be dead, so he sent personnel to negotiate with Wu Sangui, hoping that Wu Sangui could let him return to Sichuan, and the Qing court got the news that Sun Kewang hoped that Sun Kewang could return to the Qing Dynasty, and the two sides had been negotiating for more than a month.For the Qing court, whether Sun Kewang was defeated or Sun Kewang surrendered, it would be an excellent opportunity for the Qing army to retake Sichuan.In order to avoid affecting the Qing army's entry into Sichuan, Shunzhi ordered Aobai, Jibilong and others to lead elite banner soldiers out of the pass, reinforce outside the pass, solve Liaodong in one fell swoop, and then go all out to enter Sichuan.()
