After Pi Dao's Ming army landed in Dengzhou Prefecture, a whirlwind immediately set off.
Dengzhou Prefecture and Laizhou Prefecture immediately changed their flags and became the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Qingzhou, between Jinan and Laizhou, has become a top priority.
Wu Sangui became embarrassed.
He didn't know the strength of this Ming army. If too many troops were sent, Jinan would be in danger; if too few were sent, there would be no return.
At this moment, the envoys of the Ming court were once again welcomed into the temporary residence.
"Jinghou?"
Wu Sangui murmured, his expression was calm, his eyes were as calm as water, making it impossible to see through his thoughts.
"This visit shows some sincerity!"
On the side, Fang Yichen showed a slight smile, but looking at Wu Sangui's face, he eagerly wanted to know his choice.
"Although he is a marquis, does your Majesty still think about the former King of Bohai County?"
Fang Yichen shook his head and said: "This moment is the same as that moment."
In the three hundred years of the dynasty, no one of the opposite sex has ever been crowned king in person. Basically, all titles were posthumous.
Such as Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, Muying, the king of Qianning, etc.
The Manchu and Qing Dynasties were much more generous. In other words, their princes were not worth much. Beizi, Baylor, and princes were all available in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.
Therefore, Kong Youde and others were granted the title of king as soon as they arrived, and Wu Sangui's county prince also came down happily.
(One thing to mention, Dorgon did not make him a prince, but used Wu Yingxiong to get engaged to the princess as a favor.)
Before, when Emperor Shaowu dumped the Bohai County Prince, Wu Sangui noticed his lack of sincerity.
Typical of those who want to kill the donkey!
Wu Sangui was caught in a dilemma: "Mr. Fang, Ying Xiong and Ying Qi are still in Beijing!"
"Why should a man worry about having no children?"
Fang Yichen frowned and said: "Now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is over, the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner. Your Majesty, you must not get entangled in trivial matters. You must put yourself first."
When Wu Sangui heard this, he shook his head and said nothing.
Fang Yichen didn't understand his mood.
Li Zicheng's massacre that year had almost wiped out his whole family. If it happened again, it would be really doomed.
After struggling for a long time, Wu Sangui said: "Aren't the Imperial Guards of Ming Ting powerful? The Yuyuan Army in Caozhou was instigated by them, so let them move my family out first."
"Your Majesty's family is all in Beijing, and they are being watched closely. I'm afraid it will be difficult!"
Fang Yichen shook his head. In this case, it was simply wishful thinking.
We also know about Prince Pingxi's Mansion, but there are so many checkpoints in the inner city, outside the inner city, and in the outer city along the way that it is impossible to leave unscathed.
Even if the Manchus and Qing Dynasties were at a disadvantage again, it would be impossible for them to be unable to control Beijing.
You must know that since entering the customs, the Eight Banners outside the customs have moved in hundreds of thousands, accounting for half of Beijing's population.
"A certain person is thirty-five years old——"
Wu Sangui raised his head, with a different kind of brilliance in his black eyes.
"I see."
Fang Yichen understood.
In this era of thirty-five years old, there are many people who have grandchildren at the age of thirty-five, and they can call themselves old men.
He turned around and walked back and forth.
After measuring the entire room several times, Fang Yichen raised his head, his eyes filled with light: "Your Majesty, you can fake your death."
"suspended animation?"
Wu Sangui was stunned.
"As long as the Qing court thinks you are dead, it will naturally not pursue your family members, and monitoring will inevitably be lax."
Fang Yichen said confidently: "After taking Jinan, the Ming army will definitely enter the capital north. Taking advantage of the chaos, it should be possible to transfer the family members out."
"Okay! But it's not good to die too quickly. We have to discuss it first."
Wu Sangui responded loudly and waved his strong arms fiercely: "I have been loyal to you for generations, and I am finally back."
On the fourth day of July, in Jinan, in the palace of Prince Pingxi, news suddenly came that Prince Wu Sangui of Pingxi was seriously ill.
For a time, people in Jinan City were in turmoil. Governor Ding Wensheng, Chief Envoy Shao Mingshi, etc. all came to visit.
On the bed, Wu Sangui's face turned dark, he kept coughing, and spit out a mouthful of black blood from time to time. The huge room smelled of strong herbs.
"How is this going?"
Ding Wensheng's cheeks twitched, his eyes expanded extremely, and he looked particularly angry.
At this critical moment, Wu Sangui looks like this, which is like a collapse of the world for Jinan.
Guan Ningjun is the pillar. How can we fight without Wu Sangui?
"Fuxian, King Pingxi is poisoned——"
The doctor shook his head with an ugly look on his face: "I think the food he ate was poisoned. Thanks to him spitting it out in time, he saved his life, but..."
"The Ming army is so vicious, can King Pingxi still get up?"
Seeing the doctor's appearance, Ding Wensheng asked eagerly.
"It depends on your fate!"
The doctor sighed: "It hurts my heart and I can only spend my days in bed."
"vomit--"
Suddenly, Wu Sangui retched, and an unpleasant smell filled the room.
Ding Wensheng left with a gloomy look on his face: "Go, find a few more famous doctors, and we must cure King Pingxi."
The doctors came over one by one, and as the family members were greeted cordially, they shook their heads one by one: "There is no cure, prepare to collect the body!"
Ding Wensheng had no choice but to report to the court, requesting reinforcements, and encouraged him to support Jinan Mansion.
Three days later, Wu Sangui and Li Jizu communicated with each other, and after deciding on a plan, they died in the blink of an eye.
In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Ding Wensheng personally brought wine and meat to appease Guan Ningjun. Although he was no longer with Wu Sangui, he still had to work hard.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the military camp, he was immediately detained by General Wu Guogui.
"Do you want to rebel?"
Ding Wensheng said angrily.
"Nonsense, you plotted against King Pingxi in order to control Guan Ning's army. I want to avenge King Pingxi."
Wu Guogui shouted loudly, which immediately set off a wave in the army. Many of Wu Sangui's servants, relatives and friends came forward one after another, filled with righteous indignation.
"It's the Ming Army——"
Ding Wensheng was so angry that he opened his mouth to explain, but his mouth was gagged, he couldn't say anything, and he was tied tightly.
Wu Guogui and other generals of the Guan Ning Army had already known about Wu Sangui's plan, and immediately asked someone to change into their clothes and carry the governor's ceremonial instrument into the city.
Sure enough, Jinan City was defenseless.
After the city gate was captured, Guan Ning's army filed in and captured Jinan City in an instant.
Even if the thousands of Eight Banners soldiers in the city resisted, their arms could not reach their thighs and they were all killed.
Those green camp soldiers naturally surrendered.
Li Jizu led the Ming army into Jinan City in a mighty manner.
It can be said that Shandong has changed its flag.
For the safety of his family, Wu Sangui could only continue to fake his death and change his appearance to lead the army.
"The general has returned to the Ming Dynasty, what a joy to congratulate him!"
Li Jizu cupped his hands and showed a pleased smile.
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief."
Wu Sangui said with a wry smile: "I made a mistake at Shanhaiguan back then, and it was a mistake every step of the way. But now I can turn back, it's really the emperor's grace -"
