Chapter 605: King Pingxi's life-saving money

When the war is over, will the soldiers need to separate?

Fang Xianting's words made the Ming generals present subconsciously put down the wine bowl in their hands. ?〔<(The Ming generals all looked at Ma Bao, but the Qing generals looked at Wu Sangui.

Ma Bao's eyebrows were deeply locked. Isn't it just a matter of separating soldiers and generals?

What does Wu Sangui's man suddenly say this mean?

Gao Qilong, Li Chengjue, Huang Yuancai, Lei Chaosheng and other Ming generals who were persuaded to surrender were all shocked. If the Qing court really wanted to take over their military power, what if the accounts were settled in the future, wouldn’t they even lose the power to resist?

Wu Sangui's direct generals, Yang Kun and Guo Yuanlong, who were from Guanning Army, and the four flag soldiers of this vassal were in aiding and suppressing the left-road town general Chen Yingshi, while the right-road town general Ma Ning and other generals did not know what Fang Xianting suddenly said this, and they were shocked.

In addition to these direct generals of Wu Sangui, there were many Ming generals in the tent who surrendered to the Qing army earlier than Ma Bao and others, such as Du Zixiang, the former commander of Chongqing in the Ming Dynasty, Yan Ziming, the general of Yongning, Guo Liai, the general of Xingning, Wang Xingxing, Lu Sangui, the general of Bai Wenxuan, Zhu Yangen, the general of Yanchang, Long Haiyang, and the deputy general Wu Zongxiu. These generals were all those who led their troops to surrender to Wu Sangui after Wu Sangui led their troops to attack Guizhou. There were more than 30 deputy generals and above, and the total of each division was 100,000 (along with their families).

Du Zixiang, Yan Ziming and other Ming generals surrendered that day, they were guaranteed by Wu Sangui. Not only did they allow them to still lead their troops, but they also allowed them to pay high positions in the future. Now, Wu Sangui's confidant advisers suddenly put aside the words of the Qing court to withdraw military power, which naturally made Du Zixiang and others brows, and their reactions were even more intense than Ma Bao and the others who had just come to vote.

The inside and outside the account were buzzing because Fang Xianting said that, Qing general whispered in a low voice. Ming general was also talking in a mess, which seemed very noisy. When the buzzing was buzzing, Wu Sangui suddenly raised his right hand slightly. Seeing this, whether it was Ming general or Qing general, they all shut their mouths.

Wu Sangui waved his hand and smiled, and said to the generals: "Don't panic. The separation of soldiers and generals is the law of the Qing Dynasty. I will not be able to avoid being the Prince of Pingxi. Therefore, it will not take long to leave Yunnan. But don't worry, as long as you sincerely surrender, the court will not treat you badly."

Ma Baosheng asked, "What does the prince mean?"

"The court used troops in the southwest to pacify the remains of Zhu Ming. Now that Zhu Youlang abandoned the country, the war will be over, and it is inevitable that the court will transfer my king back to the capital." Wu Sangui said calmly, with a smile on his face, as if this matter had no effect on him at all.

Ma Bao couldn't calm down and said, "We are going to vote for the prince, not the Qing Dynasty. If the prince did not stay in Yunnan, we will not vote!"

As soon as Wu Sangui said this, Fang Xianting said in a shocked look on his face: "General Ma is careful!"

"What are you careful about speaking or not?" Ma Bao ignored Fang Xianting's shock and said straight: "I, Ma Bao, is a rough man. Although I have been to the prince, I am a Han. So I, Ma Bao, can be the subordinate of the Han prince, but I cannot be the subject of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty."

"Yes, I will not be a subject of the Emperor of the Tartar Qing!"

Li Chengjue, Gao Qilong and other Ming generals echoed Ma Bao and shouted. They agreed to Ma Bao to invite him to join Wu Sangui. In addition to the emperor abandoning the country, it was hopeless for them to turn things around. Another most important reason was that Wu Sangui might have to live in Yunnan and Guizhou forever, so they would not have to be angry with the Manzhou people after they joined Wu Sangui. After all, they fought with the Manzhou people for so many years, and some ethnic integrity was still there. If the situation was not irreversible, they would not choose to surrender. Now Wu Sangui said that he might have to leave Yunnan, which made Li Chengjue, Li Rubi and the others unable to accept it because they could not stand the Qing court sending a Manzhou person to manage them.

The shouts of Ma Bao and other Ming generals made many of the Qing generals change their expressions suddenly, but seeing that Wu Sangui didn't scold anything, his thoughts were all suspicious at the same time. Some people were steady and thought something was wrong, while others were eager to be more confused.

Guo Liai, the general general of the Ming Dynasty who surrendered to Wu Sangui in Zunyi, shouted: "If King Pingxi leaves Yunnan, then we will return to the mountains and forests, and what other officials will we be! I don't want to be angry with the people of Manzhou!"

Guo Liai's shouting, many people agreed to the Ming generals who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in the early days, and there was chaos inside and outside the account. Fortunately, all the generals present were deliberately selected by Wu Sangui, and there were no Manzhou people or Mongolians, so they were not afraid that someone would come out to scold the generals, which would lead to an awkward scene.

Wu Sangui was silent all the time, not knowing what he was thinking at the moment.

When it was in chaos, Hu Shouliang, who had been silent, got up and walked into the crowd and said to everyone: "Don't worry, everyone, think about it, but what can I do to ensure that everyone and the prince stay together!"

Guo Yuanlong's eyes turned and said, "The prince stays in Yunnan, so everyone will naturally not be able to disperse."

"The place in Yunnan and Guizhou is a dangerous place, which is a good place for raising troops and training troops. Why do we want to leave?" The person who spoke was Ma Ning, the general of the Right Road Town.

Shen Yingshi, the general of Zuolu Town, also said: "We have worked for the imperial court for more than ten years. After fighting this war, we should choose a place to spend the rest of our lives in peace! I think this is very good in Yunnan and Guizhou, and I don't want to go to other places anyway."

"Yes! We will be placed in Yunnan and Guizhou with the prince to spend the rest of our lives!"

The generals Guanning, the direct subordinates of Wu Sangui, shouted one after another. When they called, the generals attached to them immediately knew that Wu Sangui was fighting against the abacus of Yungui in Yongzhen.

Hu Shouliang raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down, then shook his head and said to everyone: "Although this plan is good, someone may not be willing to let the prince stay in Yunnan and Guizhou to fulfill everyone's wishes."

"Who dares not?" It was Ma Bao who spoke, his eyes widening.

Hu Shouliang sighed and said, "General Ma, some words are inconvenient to say clearly."

"What's wrong with saying it clearly?!"

When Ma Bao was about to do something, Fang Xianting stepped forward and said, "General Ma, think that if the prince really wants to stay in Yunnan and Guizhou, the court may think that the prince is respectful and respectful. Then an imperial edict will be issued to disband us. Will everyone scatter or not?"

Ma Bao said angrily: "Shunzhi is the emperor of the Tartars, not the king of my Han people. If he is too anxious, we will follow the prince to rebel against him!"

"Yes, oppose him, oppose him!"

The generals were already drunk and hot. When they heard this, they not only felt frightened, but they cheered! This is because all the generals were Han people, and most of them were wise generals not long ago. If there were children from Manchus and Mongolians present, they would probably have to draw their swords to face each other. At this moment, even those generals who were still sober would have to shout a few words against their will, because they had already seen that the taste of the banquet today was wrong. Everyone was drunk and I felt sober. It was not good to feel sober. Even if they were not worried about the Qing court reconciling the accounts with them in the future, they had to consider what Wu Sangui thought of them.

Wu Sangui's eyes flashed, and he didn't express anything. He just nodded to Fang Xianting. Fang Xianting understood, but said, "No, no! This is a great rebellious thing, and we cannot say it casually."

"Okay, you really have drunk too much. I am talking nonsense. How can I do such a big rebellious thing in my life!"

Wu Sangui first showed anger and scolded the generals to drink and cause trouble, but later he changed his mind and said, "Although the Southern Dynasties were destroyed, Emperor Yongli was in Myanmar, and General Li Dingguo was also in Menggen. According to my foolish opinion, if Emperor Yongli was not destroyed and General Li was not destroyed, the court would not issue an edict to dissolve us. But if the court really wanted to dissolve us, I would arrange everything for you, and it would not disappoint you."

"Prince!"

Ma Bao wanted to say something else, and Wu Sangui waved his hand at him and said, "I already know General Ma's heart, but this matter is not as easy as the general imagines. It requires a process. If General Ma and all the generals have no idea, follow me immediately. I still have the old saying: We only talk about brotherhood, not the difference between master and servant. I, Wu Sangui, have food, and everyone has food!"

"Okay, I'll believe in the prince!"

Wu Sangui's heartfelt words made the generals burst into tears.

Fang Xianting, Hu Shouliang and others also came up to ease the atmosphere. The banquet was held for a while, and many of the generals were drunk, and each had a special person to help them go to settle down. This fuss was only late at night.

"Are everyone settled?"

“All arranged.”

"The soldiers Ma Bao brought also have to send some food."

"I have asked Guo Yuanlong to do it."

After hearing that Hu Shouliang was done well, Wu Sangui smiled slightly and suddenly said, "But Bai Ri feels wronged you."

Hu Shouliang smiled and said, "What is the prince saying? Shouliang has never felt wronged. If the prince really beat Shouliang forty boards, would Shouliang be happier?"

"Oh?" Wu Sangui was puzzled.

"Beating is a kiss, scolding is love. The prince beats Sholiang, that is to get close to Sholiang."

"You."

Wu Sangui laughed, and Hu Shouliang also laughed. After the laughter, Hu Shouliang was still worried and said, "Prince, if Ma Bao and others knew about the matter in the north, would there be any recurrence?"

Wu Sangui shook his head and saw Ma Bao very accurately.

"The line Guoan has no inch in Guangxi, and Luo Keduo cannot make any breakthrough in Guizhou. Our food supply is stuck by the Taiping Army, and only one way out of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan and Shaanxi. If there is really a bad situation, the prince must make plans early."

Wu Sangui nodded, but said, "Don't Shouliang thinks that the current situation is very suitable for the three words Hong Chengchou?"

Hu Shouliang's face changed: "What does the prince mean?"

"The security of the line is useless, Luo Keduo is useless. If Doni wants to open up the road to the north, he can only ask me to send troops. Does that king want something from the court?"

"Yongzhen Yunnan and Guizhou?"

"Our current value is not something that can be used by Yunnan, Guizhou and the two provinces of China. Perhaps, we can get more."

Wu Sangui said, turning around with his hands behind his back, his eyes shooting towards the distant, dark north

After Ma Bao surrendered to Wu Sangui, he retreated to Lijiang, Lanzhou, the Mingxu duke Ma Weixing, General Ta Xince, and Ma Zide, the son of Ma Jinzhong, Hanyang, led 6,700 troops to surrender to Wu Sangui one after another. Marquis of Huairen, Wu Zisheng, surrendered in Yongchang Prefecture. In addition, the King of Qishan, King Hui, General Yang Cheng, Zhao Wu, Shi Wen, Deng Wanggong and others led more than 4,100 people, and Yang Wu Bo Liao Yu led 600 troops; Marquis of Xianyang, Qi Sansheng led more than 7,900 soldiers, including Wei Junzhong, the son of Wei Yong of Meng Jin, Wang Yougong and others, and more than 1,300 horses, and three surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.
