Xichuan Chengdu.In the Pingxi Palace, Sun Kewang and others came in a hurry, and when they saw Wu Sangui, who had just gotten up from the bed, they couldn't help but say, "King, is the Qing envoy gone?"
”Wu Sangui smiled smugly and said, "I was sent away by this king." ”Since the Manchu Qing split into two regimes, the Eastern and Western regimes, Wu Sangui, who occupied Sichuan Shu and Hanzhong, basically did not obey the Manchu decrees very much.This doesn't mean that Wu Sangui is anti-hearted, or just like when he was guarding Liaodong for the Ming Dynasty, there is no benefit, and he doesn't want to work hard.Now, Wu Sangui wants to guard this land of heaven and the town.In order to control Sichuan and Shu, as early as a few months ago, Sun Kewang suggested that Wu Sangui close the road into Sichuan.Wu Sangui adopted his words and ordered his nephew Wu Yingzhi to lead the army to guard the Sanguan and return the passage between China and Hanzhong.The documents and decrees sent by the Western Qing regime to Hanzhong and Sichuan and Shu had to go through Wu Sangui first, and could not be directly delivered to the prefectures and counties.Sun Kewang took advantage of this to control the Manchu officials in Hanzhong and Sichuan and Shu, and the Guanning clique is now equivalent to an independent kingdom.Many Guanning generals were relieved when they heard that the envoys of the Western Qing Dynasty had been dispatched.When they heard that the Manchu Qing were going to transfer the Guanning army and organize it into eight banners, they all hurried over.If in the past, raising the flag was a good thing to break the head, but now the treatment of the flag soldiers is not as good as that of the Guanning Army, not only is it not beneficial to carry the flag, but it also has to work for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, everyone has a lot of things, naturally they are not willing.Wu Guozhu exhaled and said, "The king is wise!
The court didn't have any good intentions this time!
”Sun Kewang took the opportunity to say: "King, the Qing envoy suddenly summoned the king to Beijing, there must be a plan.Now that the king occupies Sichuan and Shu, he has the land of Hanzhong, and his strength is not weaker than that of the imperial court, and he will be feared by the imperial court.We are waiting with the Manchurians, after all, they are not a clan, and the king still needs to make a decision early!
”Sun Kewang was killed by He Tengjiao, and after being defeated and captured, he surrendered to Wu Sangui, but he was not willing to be lonely, and his ambitions did not diminish.In fact, Sun Kewang was very unwilling to accept his failure, he was originally the lord of a country and was qualified to compete in the world, but now he was lifting Wu Sangui's shoes, and the gap in his heart was too great, which made him extremely painful.However, Sun Kewang did not get depressed, and his ambition did not decrease at all, but increased exponentially.This is because he wants revenge, and the second is because of the current situation today.In Sun Kewang's view, if today, the north and the east and the west are contending, and the south and the Ming Dynasty are also in a mess, it is simply a godsend opportunity to establish a great cause.If he is still the lord of Xichuan, he will surely seize the opportunity to establish the foundation of all things.It's a pity that he is not now, and Wu Sangui, who is a foolish critic, has no ambitions, and is not in a hurry at all.At this time, he had already become the No. 2 person in Wu Sangui's group by virtue of his achievements in helping Wu Sangui, occupying Sichuan and Shu, recruiting a large number of generals of the Western Army, and the former officials of the Xichuan State.Nowadays, the political affairs of Sichuan and Hanzhong are basically handled by Sun Kewang, and his ability to handle internal affairs is very outstanding, which also makes Wu Sangui rely on him very much.After recruiting a large number of generals and officials of the Western Army, Sun Kewang's strength increased greatly, but he did not break away from Wu Sangui, but chose to stay in the Guanning Army.This is because although there are many people gathered around Sun Kewang, his strength can no longer be compared with the original, and the remnants of Xichuan Kingdom have followed Li Dingguo to Yungui, and there are actually many contradictions between Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo.Since he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he can't be the lord of Xichuan when he goes back, and moreover, Wu Sangui now occupies Sichuan and Shu, and the Guanning army has strong combat power, Sun Kewang thinks that there is a lot to do.Now that Sun Kewang wants to break away from Wu Sangui, he will definitely be caught in a war with Wu Sangui, and he thinks that he can't win Wu Sangui, and even if he wins Wu Sangui, it is estimated that the north and the south are divided, and he has no chance.At present, Wu Sangui has unified Sichuan and Shu and occupied Hanzhong, only with the help of his strength can he be qualified to compete in the world, otherwise he will start all over again, and the cucumber vegetables will be cold.Therefore, Sun Kewang temporarily accepted the fact that he was subordinate to Wu Sangui, but he was not willing to be lonely, obviously dissatisfied with his current position, so he kept instigating Wu Sangui to stand on his own feet and compete in the world.Wu Sangui has the ability and strength, but he is actually not as ambitious as Sun Kewang."
Let's talk about it!
Don't reach the ears of the court. ”Wu Sangui waved his hand, obviously still unable to make up his mind.Sun Kewang looked at Wu Sangui, and couldn't help but feel a trace of chagrin in his heart, if he had Wu Sangui's power, he would have already ascended the throne and became the emperor.On the side, Guan Ning's generals were also in a hurry, but Wu Sangui didn't have this idea, so they naturally couldn't do it.Sun Kewang continued: "Your Majesty, now the four seas are turbulent and uneasy, the world has been in turmoil for decades, and unification is the trend of the times and the hope of the people.The king divided thousands of miles and occupied the fertile fields in Shuzhong, and the place was ten times that of Shang Tang and King Wu of Zhou.It should be changed to appease the people, conform to the time, and achieve the cause of the overlord. ”Wu Sangui's henchman Xia Guoxiang and Sun Kewang actually had some conflicts, but in this matter, the two of them were in a pot."
King, the Manchurians are not at ease with us Han people.Now that our strength has threatened the Manchurians, how can they tolerate us.For the imperial court, the army that is not under their control is the greatest threat and enemy of the imperial court.Unless the king is willing to give up Sichuan and Shu and hand over the army, it is impossible for the Manchurians to rest assured of the king.But now will the king hand over the military power and Sichuan Shu?
”Xia Guoxiang came out to help.Wu Sangui immediately shook his head and said loudly: "How can this king hand over power!"
”Sun Kewang immediately said: "In this case, what else does the king have to hesitate about?
”Wu Sangui frowned and said in a deep voice: "Your words have inspired this king.This king will think about it. ”Sun Kewang heard this, and the corners of his mouth twitched.Wu Sangui considered this for two months, but he still did not give a clear answer to his subordinates.He was not in a hurry, but he was in a hurry for Sun Kewang and many generals in Guan Ning, and everyone repeatedly looked for opportunities to make suggestions, but they were all prevaricated.In July, news came from Guanzhong that Wang Yongzhen in northern Shaanxi rebelled, killed Wang Zhizheng, the governor sent to Yan'an by the Western Qing Dynasty to accept the army, and occupied Yan'an, Suide, and Yulin.Fu Lin angrily killed Wang Yongqiang, who was under house arrest in Xi'an, and mobilized soldiers and horses from Guanzhong and Shanxi to suppress it.But he didn't want to, Jiang Xiang saw the emptiness of Shanxi, took the opportunity to start an incident in Datong, led the army south to seize Taiyuan, and controlled Hedong.At this time, the Western Qing regime immediately ushered in a huge crisis, Guanzhong was unstable in various places, and the old people in the northwest also rose up one after another, as if they wanted to destroy the Western Qing Dynasty together.When the news came, Wu Sangui was not calm.()
