Military Advisor Zhuge was right again!
But guessing Wu Sangui's thoughts is actually not that difficult. Zhuge's military advisor is not needed, Zhu Heji knows it himself.
Wu Sangui, the old traitor, is actually a "tiger guarding the nest". He is obviously very powerful and a big tiger, but he does not have the consciousness to be the king of beasts, so he just wants to live his life guarding one-third of an acre of Yunnan. day.
The reason why people in history raised armies against the Qing Dynasty was because they were forced to do so. Moreover, after he rebelled, he didn't have much energy. He wilted when he reached the edge of the Yangtze River. He completely lacked the determination and momentum to sweep the world.
But this time, when the third prince Zhu and the third grandson Zhu made a big fuss in Guangdong, Emperor Kangxi seemed to have given up on reducing the vassalage.
In this case, how good would it be for Wu Sangui to be a comfortable "lying tiger"? Why do you work so hard to rebel?
But this is just what Wu Sangui and maybe Wu Yingxiong thought. But it does not mean that the subordinates of Wu Sangui and his son are willing to die of old age in Yunnan.
After all, Wu Sangui was the vassal king in Yunnan who could get whatever he wanted, and his subordinates, even if they were the commander-in-chief, were only in charge of a team of two to three thousand people, how comfortable could they be? Moreover, there are many who are not even able to become commander-in-chief, but only become generals, guerrillas, or even generals and generals. When they see signs of chaos in the world, how can they not be eager to try?
In addition, after the "Chongzhen Edict Incident" and the "Shang Zhixin Exposed Incident", Wu Sangui would be a fool if he still had illusions about the Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, Wu Sangui's "rebellion" still needs to be carried out, but the final determination is difficult to make.
As for the conditions under which Wu Sangui would raise the flag of rebellion... then you have to ask Liu Xuanchu!
Zhu Heji, Zhuge Military Advisor and Yang Qilong all looked at Liu Xuanchu with smiles at this time, waiting for him to tell Wu Sangui the conditions for rebellion - as long as he could draw a clear line!
With Tao Dao, Zhu Heji and Zhuge Military Advisor are so capable that they will definitely be able to find a way to achieve it.
Liu Xuanchu didn't hide it anymore. Isn't that why he came?
He is one of those people around Wu Sangui who wants to rebel!
Liu Xuanchu twirled his beard and spoke thoughtfully: "Ping Xibo has indeed turned against himself, but he is old and no longer has the ambitions of the past. Therefore, if he really wants to raise an army, he must meet one of the following three conditions. one."
In fact, Wu Sangui didn't have much ambition when he was young, he was just a dawdling warlord.
Liu Xuanchu continued: "The first condition is that Prince Ping Xibo is killed by Xuanye... Once Prince Ping Xibo dies, Uncle Ping Xiong will rebel! It's a pity that Xuanye not only did not kill Wu Yingxiong, but also let Wu Yingxiong go!"
Kangxi's level is still online! In his previous life, when Wu Sangui was unstoppable and the Qing Dynasty was in panic, he resolutely killed Wu Yingxiong to show his determination.
But in this life, when Wu Sangui was completely tarnished, he released Wu Yingxiong to stabilize the hearts of Yunnan people.
Therefore, the first condition for Wu Sangui's rebellion has been resolved by Kangxi.
"The second condition," Liu Xuanchu said, "is that as long as the so-called Eight Banners heavenly troops are no longer powerful, Ping Xibo will definitely raise his troops to rebel. The reason why Ping Xibo has endured for many years is not because he is loyal to the Manchus, but because he is afraid of the Eight Banners... .When he arrived in Manchuria for the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong, he suffered heavy losses from the Eight Banners soldiers more than once, and he was already frightened!
If His Highness the Crown Prince can defeat the Eight Banners soldiers once, Ping Xibo will definitely raise his troops. "
"The Eight Banners are actually not that powerful. We have Zhuge Tianlei, sky fireballs, and grenades and mortars. The Eight Banners' mortal flesh and bones cannot defeat us." Zhu Heji frowned as he spoke, " But Xuan Ye won’t send a large number of Eight Banners troops to Guangdong!”
This is really embarrassing!
As long as the Eight Banners soldiers are willing to come, Zhu Heji has at least ten ways to send them away... Even if they don't use sugar pills or "cocktail bottles", Zhu Dasun also has other tricks! His chemical engineering, no, "magic" was not learned in vain.
But the problem is that until now, Kangxi has not sent a large number of Eight Banners heavenly troops south to Guangdong.
However, Kangxi did send some Eight Banners soldiers to Huguang... This was clearly for Wu Sangui to see!
Liu Xuanchu shook his head and said: "Xuan Ye will not send a large number of Manchu Eight Banners to Guangdong. Even if he sends only three to five hundred to supervise the battle...Xuan Ye is still very decisive in his actions, and he also He is very assertive and can be more dictatorial with the Sacred Heart at critical moments!
Therefore, if the prince wants to fight against the Eight Banners, he can only learn from Zheng Yanping. "
He is now advising Zhu Heji... There are Eight Banners soldiers in Jiangnan! As long as Zhu Heji, like Zheng Chenggong, takes the sea route to attack Nanjing, the Eight Banners soldiers will have no place to hide.
If the Eight Banners soldiers were defeated and Nanjing was lost again, then Wu Sangui would definitely raise an army!
Even if he doesn't want to raise an army, the people below will force him to do so.
Zhu Heji glanced at his military advisor. Military advisor Zhuge was shaking his goose feather fan, still looking confident, and said with a smile: "To be honest with Mr. Liu, the navy of our dynasty has just started, and none of them can last more than three to five years." , can’t run that far, Mr. Liu should talk about the third condition.”
Zhu Heji's navy started by imitating the Great Eastern...it's better to build it than to buy it! If you build one or two hundred lines, let alone Nanjing, you can go directly to the Liaoxi Corridor to land, and then enter Shanhaiguan!
But now the Great Eastern has just been dismantled, and the dimensions of the planks are being measured piece by piece in preparation for "reverse engineering". It is already very fast to be able to imitate a "No. 2 ship" within a year. Mass production will have to wait until next year!
And it’s not enough to just have ships, you also have to train naval officers and sailors!
So if this thing can be accomplished in three years, it is considered very fast.
As for using Zheng Jing's navy to do this...it doesn't seem to be feasible. Although the Qing Dynasty always called Zheng Jing a pirate or pirate, the scale of Zheng Jing's navy was actually very limited - he had a total population of 200,000 in Taiwan. How large a navy could he support? It may be okay to transport a few thousand people to Jiangnan, but there is nothing he can do if there are more.
And with thousands of people arriving in Jiangnan, can they capture Nanjing?
It doesn’t seem very reliable! After all, this is not the time for the Opium War. If thousands of people are killed and defeated, then Emperor Kangxi's tail must not be raised to the sky?
Liu Xuanchu said with a smile: "Three years and five years are too long... Ping Xibo is already old!" He paused, "Then let me tell you about the third condition!
If Guangzhou is in a hurry, Ping Xibo will definitely not be able to bear to see the Ming Dynasty, which has finally risen, fall again, and will definitely raise troops. "
Of course Wu Sangui now knew that once Zhu San and his son were destroyed, Emperor Kangxi would kill him next.
So as long as he finds out that Zhu San and his son are in danger, he will definitely start a rebellion!
Zhu Heji couldn't influence Emperor Kangxi's choice of whether to kill Wu Yingxiong, and he couldn't build a navy that could send thousands of troops to the south of the Yangtze River for a while...but he could always "play dead", right?
Liu Xuanchu twirled his beard and said: "It is unknown what kind of Eight Banners soldiers Xuan Ye has, but his Eight Banners generals are not as good as one general. There is only one Yue Le who is still useful, but he is reluctant to send him to Guangdong. Last time, I relied on the old fool Shang Kexi, and now I have reused Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen... The prince has military advisor Zhuge, it won't be difficult to trick them into being fooled, right?"
Military Advisor Zhuge nodded, smiled and said to Liu Xuanchu: "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for clarifying my doubts... This matter is not difficult. My military advisor will definitely make Sun Yanling come to Guangzhou with a smile and run back with a cry!"
"That's enough!" Liu Xuanchu said, "Only Sun Yanling's army can reach Guangzhou, and I have a solution for the prince."
Zhu Heji said with a smile: "As long as Ping Xibo can raise his troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will be restored. By then, sir, I will be the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty!"
He is drawing a pie for Liu Xuanchu!
In addition to this cake, of course, tangible benefits will also be given... directly to the sand boat Liu Xuanchu rented!
Liu Xuanchu just smiled and did not comment. Then he took out the autographed letter written by Wu Sangui to the third prince Zhu. He stood up and walked to Zhu Heji. He handed it over with both hands: "Your Majesty, this is from Ping Xibo to the third prince." letter."
Zhu Heji took the envelope, tore open the seal, took out the letter paper inside, unfolded it, and read it word for word.
The letter contained some ambiguous words, saying it was Wu Sangui's "handwritten letter", but then a "not known person" came, and it was unclear whether it was truly handwritten. There really is no clue left at all!
After Zhu Heji finished reading the letter, he looked at Liu Xuanchu and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, how should the Gu family reply to Uncle Ping Xi?"
Liu Xuanchu smiled and said: "You can reply however you want, but it's best to show a little sincerity...For example, what is going on with Zhuge Tianlei?"
