In fact, the purpose of Emperor Kangxi's explicit edict asking all the Qing ministers to arrest Yang Qilong was not to capture the world's best military advisor. Instead, he wanted to use this method to make Yang Qilong, a dangerous man who could stir up troubles with his sharp tongue, take the initiative to stay away from those stupid and loyal loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty after learning that his head was very valuable... ..
However, the deputy military adviser of the Ming Dynasty's right auxiliary has now become the guest of Liu Jinzhong, the commander-in-chief of Chao Town in the Qing Dynasty.
Yang Qilong was invited in by Liu Jinzhong, the commander-in-chief of Chaozhou Town, who opened the back door!
The reason why he was treated like this was because Yang Qilong was visiting in the name of Wu Sangui's envoy.
Liu Jinzhong now knew that Wu Sangui had embarked on the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, and had also become the president and the marshal of the world's military.
Although Liu Jinzhong had always had a bright mind, due to the general situation, he could only keep this thought deep in his heart. Even though Zhu Heji was "invincible", he never thought of switching sides and following Zhu Heji... The reason was very simple. The third prince Zhu had already sealed the entire Chaozhou to Da Lao Hui!
If Liu Jinzhong wanted to join Prince Zhu, he would have to hand over the land in the six counties of Chaozhou.
Moreover, it is absolutely impossible for the third prince Zhu to set aside six additional counties in Guangdong to compensate Liu Jinzhong - because the regime of the third prince Zhu and his grandson is still a Guangdong regime with Chaozhou people at its core!
In this regime, the Chaozhou people were the core, and the Cantonese and Hakka people were the two wings. The northerners who drifted from Guangzhou integrated into Chaozhou and Guangfu during the chaos of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties - if they didn't integrate, they wouldn't be there at all. Might survive!
Moreover, there were many scholar-bureaucrats from Chaozhou and Guangfu who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty at that time to help them integrate.
Over the years, they have also lived as Chaozhou and Cantonese people.
Liu Jinzhong, the northern warlord who oppressed the Chaozhou people, and his men have always been riding on the Chaozhou people's necks to dominate. Of course, they will not and cannot be "Chaozhouized".
Therefore, it is impossible for the Third Prince Zhu and the Third Grandson of Zhu to give up a few Cantonese counties to be ruled by this group of feudal warlords who are particularly good at harming the people... The two father and son are now very popular among the people of Guangdong. Why bother to destroy the signboard for thousands of green soldiers who are not very good at fighting?
But Wu Sangui is different.
Wu Sangui is Liu Jinzhong's fellow Northeasterner, so he is one of his own after all, right?
Moreover, Wu Sangui's power was much greater than that of the third prince Zhu and the third grandson of Zhu. The Zhu family and his son only have Guangdong in their hands, so it is normal for them not to give up territory to dependent forces.
And Wu Sangui started with the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan! With a little effort, you can capture Huguang, and if you're lucky, you can go all the way east along the Yangtze River and sweep across the southeast!
By then, Wu Sangui would have a lot of land in his hands, not to mention several counties, even if it was divided into several prefectures, it wouldn't be a problem.
With such huge interests out there, Liu Jinzhong would have thrown it into the wastebasket, not to mention that he had not yet received the explicit edict from Emperor Kangxi.
Not only did Liu Jinzhong treat Yang Qilong respectfully, but Wu Qifeng, the son of Wu Liuqi, the "chief soldier of the county" in Raoping Zhentai, next door to Chaozhou City, did not dare to neglect him.
He learned from Shangguan Liu Jinzhong that Wu Sangui's envoy had come to Haiyang, and hurriedly came from Raoping. At this time, he and Liu Jinzhong were discussing with Yang Qilong how to "welcome Laoxi"!
"Mr. Liu, our President and General Marshal has said that as long as you can follow him to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. When he conquers Huguang and Jiangxi, I will protect you as the Duke of Gan and the General Manager of Southern Jiangxi. You will rule Southern Jiangxi forever and will be hereditary. Our descendants will all look after the territory of southern Ganxi for the imperial court!"
"Wu Zhentai, my President and Generalissimo are related to you. He has always admired your father and felt deeply aggrieved by your father's experience... Your father is such a good South Australian military commander, how could you do this? Raoping has a general soldier? Raoping is such a small county, only a few kilograms of oil and water? How can you feed a general soldier? When you come here, not even a general soldier is gone, and it has become a town. It is really disappointing. Yes! The prince has said that as long as your family follows him to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, I will protect you with a large army of generals. You can choose from all the prefectures in Huguang, Jiangxi, and Jiangnan, except Yingtian and Gannan!"
In the second hall of the Chaozhou General Army Yamen, Yang Qilong came with Wu Sangui's autographed letter from Liu Xuanchu, which contained no actual content, and was making excuses for Liu Jinzhong and Wu Qifeng!
Although he was talking nonsense, Yang Qilong was good-looking and well-spoken, and even his expression and voice when he spoke were so reliable. And every word he speaks can touch other people's hearts!
This is the skill!
In the original history, he relied on his skin and clever words to incite a group of banner slaves in Beijing to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty... This shows his skill!
Now using this skill to deceive Liu Jinzhong and Wu Qifeng, wouldn't it be as easy as deceiving a three-year-old child?
Especially Wu Qifeng, Wu Liuqi's son, was deceived to the point of tears... The baby felt so miserable!
Not only is he suffering, but his father Wu Liuqi is suffering even more!
This Wu Liuqi was very famous in later generations, and he seemed to be doing well. But in fact, it was really not that good. Although they were loyal to the Qing Dynasty, they helped fight Zheng Chenggong, Hao Shangjiu, and various anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty elements. Their hands were stained with the blood of the people.
But the Qing court dealt with him very perfunctorily. At first, he was the commander-in-chief of Nan'ao, but later when he was asked to give up moving to Nan'ao Island, he was given the command of the commander-in-chief Raoping to deal with him... This was really unfair! A small Chaozhou already has a Xushun Gongfu and a Chaozhou general army, which is very crowded! How could another General Rao Ping be inserted in?
Moreover, Raoping is a small county in a mountainous area. It is too big to have a general to defend the city. How can it be a general soldier? There's no sincerity at all... You're just a fool for the state's commander-in-chief!
And with Wu Liuqi acting like this, all kinds of rumors and false accusations started to come. Some people actually say that Wu Liuqi recruited Emperor Yongli's son as his son-in-law - isn't this nonsense? Wu Liuqi had so many sons, how could he recruit a son-in-law? Who has ever seen a Hakka family marry a son-in-law?
He was frustrated and had rumors spread. In addition, Su Suli, a big-bellied man who had been involved in trouble together and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty together, was forced to death by the Qing court, which stimulated Wu Liuqi. Wu Liuqi fell ill when Su Li was annihilated and died of illness soon after.
After Wu Liuqi's death, his son Wu Qifeng wanted to inherit Laozi's official position and also become the commander-in-chief. So I spent money to take the path of Shang Kexi and asked Shang Kexi to recommend it.
As a result, I was happy to receive the money, but the matter was not accomplished. The Qing court demoted Wu Qifeng to Raoping Xiezhen on the grounds that "the general soldier cannot be hereditary" and became a subordinate of Liu Jinzhong, Shen Rui, Deng Guangming, Zhang Mengji and others... This life was really hard. !
He is a Hakka, with four bosses from the Northeast on top of him. He has to prepare four copies when he goes to Haiyang County to give gifts during festivals. He kowtows to each family and gives gifts. After the gifts are given, there are two civil service places in Chaohui Road and Chaozhou Prefecture. Officials also have to visit, and generous gifts are indispensable.
This official position is going to lose money!
So now that Wu Qifeng heard that Wu Sangui of his family was about to attack Huguang and Jiangxi, and that he would be recommended as a general soldier, he immediately patted his chest and wiped his tears to express his surrender: "Mr. Yang, please tell the prince, tell the president, the generalissimo... ....Wu has long admired the name and loyalty of the President and Generalissimo, and is willing to obey the President and the Generalissimo! The President has orders, and Wu will not dare to disobey them!"
Yang Qilong turned to look at Liu Jinzhong again, but Liu Jinzhong was not so straightforward. He was Geng Jingzhong's man and could not confide in Wu Sangui easily.
Seeing that he was speechless, Yang Qilong knew that this guy still couldn't bear to part with Geng Jingzhong's thigh, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, the President and Marshal also wrote personal letters to General Zhao in Zhangzhou Town in the east and King Jingnan in Fuzhou. ..... How about we all work together to fight against the Qing Dynasty, restore the Ming Dynasty, and drive the Tatars out of the Central Plains?"
Liu Jinzhong still refused to nod, but continued to ask: "Mr. Yang... I wonder if the Presidential Grand Marshal has contacted Guangzhou's Supervisor Guoding Wang?"
Yang Qilong laughed loudly when he heard this, then clapped his hands hard and shouted to the door: "Bring it up!"
