Chapter 47: Each has a ghost

Guizhou, Wu Sangui's headquarters.

The Qing Dynasty General Pingxi, who was dressed in casual clothes, frowned and was very upset.

For these days, he has been entrusted with illness and refused to go to the Zhenglifu Mansion to discuss the matter of suppressing Ming Dynasty with Hong Chengchou, but Hong Chengchou seemed to be staring at him and sent doctors to diagnose him repeatedly.

On the surface, Hong Chengchou was concerned about him, but in fact he was hitting him.

Don't be fooled by me, I eat more salt than rice you eat.

Well, that's basically what it means.

Wu Sangui is not stupid, how can he not tell?

Although all these doctors were driven away by Wu Sangui, if they continued to perform, Hong Chengchou would be about to turn against each other.

In fact, there has been a rift between Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou.

In the 14th year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty only had eight cities outside the pass, namely Jinzhou, Ningyuan, Songshan, Xingshan, Tashan, Zhongqian, Zhonghou, and Qiantun.

At that time, Jinzhou was surrounded by Huang Taiji. In order to lift the siege of Jinzhou, Hong Chengchou, the then governor of Ji Liao, led an army of 130,000 to the north from Ningyuan to support Jinzhou. Huang Taiji was overjoyed when he learned about it and used the strategy of besieging the city to attack aid to trap Hong Chengchou in Songshan's generation.

During the long-term trouble, Hong Chengchou decided to break through.

But what was awkward was that shortly after the order was issued, Wu Sangui and Datong General Wang Pu ran away!

The two of them led their troops to run away, and the Ming army was immediately in chaos and countless fleeing soldiers were fleeing.

The Qing army then took the opportunity to chase and kill and expand the results. In the end, the Ming army was wiped out and its vitality was greatly damaged.

At this point, the four cities of Songshan, Tashan, Xingshan and Jinzhou were all lost, the Ningjin defense line collapsed, and Hong Chengchou was captured.

And all this started with Wu Sangui running away.

As the head coach, Hong Chengchou certainly took all this into consideration.

He must have a lot of disgust for Wu Sangui. After all, he was Wu Sangui's benefactor, but Wu Sangui completely ignored his life and death.

After weighing the pros and cons, Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty to make a new start.

Coincidentally, Wu Sangui also surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and the two of them became officials in the same dynasty again.

However, at that time, Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui did not have much opportunity to contact each other, which avoided a lot of embarrassment.

But in the Shunzhi period, everything was completely different.

Hong Chengchou was appointed as the governor of the five provinces, and Wu Sangui was also appointed as the General of Pingxi, and was controlled by Hong Chengchou.

This is a bit embarrassing...

Hong Chengchou is Wu Sangui's benefactor, and the top peak. Wu Sangui is Hong Chengchou's student and subordinate.

At first glance, this combination is perfect, but the problem is that Wu Sangui has betrayed Hong Chengchou.

Such a painful memory will naturally not be easily erased.

Although Hong Chengchou did not say it, his distrust of Wu Sangui was reflected in his actual actions.

It was okay that Wu Sangui won the battle before, but Hong Chengchou would not do too much.

Now that Wu Sangui is defeated in Kunming, he runs back to Guizhou in a dilemma. Hong Chengchou seizes the food and supplies and forces Wu Sangui to send troops to wipe out the chieftains of Shuixi.

What is Hong Chengchou's thoughts about Wu Sangui not knowing?

This is to use the hands of the Shuixi Tusi to consume Wu Sangui's strength!

The chieftain of Shuixi has always been rebellious, and his clan members are brave and good at fighting.

Now that Shuixi rebelled and openly supported Emperor Yongli, Hong Chengchou naturally wanted to send troops to suppress him.

But there are so many generals to choose from, but he chose Wu Sangui. Isn’t this revenge?

Wu Sangui's family soldier was the foundation of his foothold in troubled times.

The reason why he mediated back and forth between Ming, Shun and Qing dynasties was that he had this elite army.

If the soldiers of our family were killed, the Qing court could have kicked Wu Sangui away with one kick.

Not to mention that the promised fiefdom and kingship would not be given again, I am afraid that the title of General Pingxi would be deprived of it.

Seeing that Lao Shang and Lao Geng's family had fiefs, Wu Sangui was so jealous.

Logically speaking, he is the best-born and the oldest among the three, but now he is in this way, so he is unwilling to accept it!

Old Man Hong, bullying others too much!

Wu Sangui felt a mouthful of thick phlegm surge up, stuck in his throat, and he swallowed it again.

It took a long time before Wu Sangui calmed down.

It is useless to vent anger at the moment, so you must think about how to reply to Hong Chengchou.

Wu Sangui would definitely not lead his troops to wipe out the Shuixi chieftains, so he needed to find a suitable reason.

Wu Sangui was walking around the house with his hands on his back, and after a long time of thinking came to mind.

Humph, old man, let’s ride a donkey and read the songbook!

......

......

"Jingluo Hong, Wu Sangui, who actually openly refused your order. He said that his subordinates were not accustomed to the local conditions and had a lot of vomiting and diarrhea, and could not march and fight. This was simply a lie, coaxing children!"

Zhao Liangdong quickly walked into Hong Chengchou's study and said angrily.

"Qingzhi, don't rush and say it slowly."

Hong Chengchou, who was copying the calligraphy, put down his wolf hair and said in harmony.

"Jingluo Hong, Wu Sangui is really not very good. It would be fine if he had just come to Guizhou. He has been a month old, and now he is not convinced by the soldiers and the local conditions. He is not convinced by the early age or late age, but he is not convinced by the war. As the general of the last century, he is not convinced by you!"

Seeing Zhao Liangdong looking like a little firecracker, Hong Chengchou shook his head and said, "Qingzhi, keep calm."

I have to say that Zhao Liangdong is very similar to Hong Chengchou of the past.

It is normal for young people to be full of energy and it is very normal for them to be angry.

But when it’s time to calm down, you should still be calm, otherwise how can you make the right decision?

Wu Sangui's reaction was naturally expected by Hong Chengchou.

If Hong Chengchou was Wu Sangui, he might not have sent troops to fight.

"Now in this situation, Wu Sangui has already openly disobeyed the military order. Hong Jingluo can kill him!"

What Zhao Liangdong said was naturally angry.

Not to mention beheading Wu Sangui, even if he was pushed out to beat dozens of military sticks, Wu Sangui would immediately turn against Hong Chengchou.

Wu Sangui is very powerful at the moment, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is not listening to the tune.

"Didn't his soldiers get sick if they are not used to the local environment? This governor sent a doctor to diagnose the disease. Wu Sangui can refuse to see a doctor himself, but he can't ignore the lives of the soldiers under his command."

Zhao Liangdong couldn't help but lit up when he heard this.

It has to be said that Hong Chengchou's plan is very targeted, and it can even be said to be an open plot, and it is coming out openly.

Wu Sangui couldn't refuse, after all, Hong Jinglei was considering the bodies of all the soldiers.

If Wu Sangui refuses, it will confirm that he was lying before. After all, one person can resist being sick, but tens of thousands of people cannot resist being sick.

"Qingzhi, I forgot to tell you. The imperial envoy just came to the imperial envoy yesterday."

Hong Chengchou paused and said, "The emperor is very concerned about the war in the southwest. Long Yan was furious after learning of Kunming's defeat. Now all the nobles in the court are blaming us. Although the emperor comes forward to protect us, he can only protect us for a while."

"ah!"

Zhao Liangdong was surprised.

"So this year we must destroy the remnant Ming."

Hong Chengchou clenched his fists and said without hesitation: "I am old and I haven't had a few years of life. But Qingzhi, you are still young, so you must seize this opportunity."
