The Mu family Wu Sangui is talking about is a young man named Mu Shenyou and his sister Mu Yuping.
This Mu Shenyou was the second grandson of Mu Tianbo, the last Duke of Guizhou, and his father was Mu Xianzhong, Mu Tianbo's eldest son. Two years before Mu Tianbo was killed in Myanmar, Mu Xianzhong was defeated and surrendered in Yunnan, and was taken to Beijing and imprisoned as a slave. Later, the Qing court felt that he was not a good slave, so he secretly killed him.
And this Mu Xianzhong had already married a wife and had children in Yunnan before he was arrested and taken to Beijing. She married the daughter of Long Shirong, chieftain of Shiping, Yunnan, and gave birth to two sons, Shenbao and Shenyou, and a daughter.
These two sons later became the banner of the Yunnan Mu family remnant party and some chieftain rebellions against Wu Sangui's rule. Among them, Mu Shenbao and his mother Long were captured by Wu Sangui and sent to Beijing as slaves. Even if it is gone, it is gone. The remaining two brothers, Mu Shenyou and Mu Yuping, were led by a group of Mu family remnants to hide in various places in Yunnan, relying on the support of some chieftains who had received favors from the Mu family.
It wasn't until Wu Sangui "raised troops according to the order" and became the president of the Ming Dynasty that the two of them came out with others to find Guo Zhuangtu "to ask for his parents."
Of course, Guo Zhuangtu had no "mom and dad" to give to Mu Shenyou and Mu Yuping, but he didn't kill Mu Shenyou and Mu Yuping, but instead tricked them and their subordinates into coming to Jiangling.
Wu Sangui met this silly Mu brother and sister, and felt that they were just two country kids with little knowledge and no use value. It would be unkind to kill them with a knife, so he just kept them.
Unexpectedly, it was used this time... Although the Mu family was useless, they were still very loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, some of the Mu family members who followed Mu Shenyou came back from Myanmar. They knew the truth about the cursed water problem. Therefore, if Zhu Heji were still alive, he would definitely receive Mu Shenyou, Mu Yuping and others in person. Even though Zhu Heji is no longer here, Zhu Cijiong, the third prince of Zhu, will still meet them.
"President, if I see Prince Zhu San, do I want to talk to him about revenge?"
Lu Yifeng is also a very clever fat man. He knows what he is going to Nanchang for without Wu Sangui's advice, and he can also think of things that Wu Sangui has not thought of.
"Revenge..." Old Wu Sangui rolled his eyes and nodded repeatedly, "This revenge must be avenged! Just tell them that when the president heard the rumors that the third grandson was killed, he was sad, angry and anxious, so he led ten troops Wandong marched into Xinyang and Guangzhou, preparing to avenge the third grandson, and asked Prime Minister Zhuge to also send troops to the north of the Yangtze River to attack the Qing captives! After this is accomplished, the two families can divide Anhui equally, and Anqing Prefecture, Luzhou Prefecture, and the four prefectures in southern Anhui will all return to Ming dynasty."
Having said this, Wu Sangui himself felt that he was quite clever and burst out laughing: "I, the President, led 100,000 troops into Huaixi, and Prime Minister Zhuge sent tens of thousands more troops to attack Anqing. How could Kangxi's son still dare to stay in Huainan? As soon as Kangxi If we leave, this president can go east to Jinling and take over Jiangnan before Prime Minister Zhuge. If Jinling is in hand, the Southern Dynasty will definitely be mine."
"Father," Wu Yingxiong said with a worried expression, "Do you really want to send troops to Huaixi? Your body..."
Leading troops into battle is a physically demanding job!
Historically, Wu Sangui "residenced" in Hengzhou not long after he raised his army, which was probably related to his old age and illness.
Although there were many generals under Wu Sangui who could act independently, such as Wu Yingqi, Wu Guogui, and Wu Shicong, their prestige was ultimately inferior to that of Wu Sangui and it was difficult for them to command the entire army.
This time, although Wu Sangui fought with all his strength in the Jianyang River and defeated Kangxi's army, his physical condition took a turn for the worse and it seemed difficult to lead the army again.
When Wu Sangui heard what his son said, he smiled and said: "Although my body bones are not strong anymore, I can still support it for a while. I can't go into battle, but I can sit in the camp without any problem. I heard that Hanyang Dawu Mountain in the prefecture has beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate. It is better to set up the personal expedition camp there. Your second brother and your nephew will be responsible for the front line... Together, the two fathers and sons can still command tens of thousands of troops. .
Moreover, they have been stationed in Xiangyang for several months, and have been training my 20,000 cavalry. They have done a good job, and this time they just want to try it out. Don't wait for Master Lu to come back, let them send troops to Xinyang and Guangzhou first to scare Kangxi!
If they can force Kangxi to leave and then go east to Jinling, they will definitely be able to train themselves into handsome men who can rule one side exclusively. We, father and son, can rest assured in the future. "
rest assured?
Wu Yingxiong is not at ease at all!
Although he and Wu Yingqi had a fairly close relationship, the two brothers had been living apart from each other for many years and rarely saw each other, so naturally they couldn't be too close.
Moreover, Wu Yingqi also has a son Wu Shicong who is very good at fighting... This Wu Shicong is much more capable than his father!
When Wu Yingxiong was getting anxious, Wu Sangui spoke again: "Ying Xiong, you need to experience it! How about this... you go to Wuchang with the Prime Minister and Zhu Guo to take charge!"
Wu Yingxiong understood what I was thinking. The old man wanted Jiangnan, but at the same time he didn't want to break up with Prince Zhu. That's why he forced Kangxi under the banner of "avenging the third grandson", and at the same time asked himself, Prime Minister Xia and Hu Zhu to station troops in Wuchang to frighten Prime Minister Zhuge.
At the same time, the old man didn't want to take any serious action against the Qing court. He just wanted to force Kangxi away and seize Jinling... This wishful thinking was so clever that he almost caught up with Geng Jingzhong!
Thinking of this, Wu Yingxiong asked Wu Sangui again: "Father, are you asking Hong Shiming to bring a message to Kangxi?"
"It is necessary to bring it," Wu Sangui twirled his beard, "Since ancient times, to defend the river, you must guard the Huaihe River! It was impossible to rule by dividing the river in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but it might be okay to rule by dividing the Huaihe River... I am old, and there is no I have no ambition to go north to Zhongzhou, and I will be satisfied if I can have a kingdom in the south."
As he spoke, Wu Sangui suddenly lowered his voice: "If Kangxi doesn't agree, then I will send Ying Qi and Shi Cong to join Prime Minister Zhuge to destroy his Eight Banners New Army!"
...
Jiangxi, Nanchang, Zhangjiangmenwai Wharf.
Zhu Heji, who was using the trick of "faking death and pretending to be alive", was in a large official ship at this time, talking to Prime Minister Zhuge... He wanted to "entrust his father"!
After all, he is not really dead, so there is no need to rely on an orphan, just a father. The reason why I entrusted this father to me was because he wanted to take the sea route to Ningbo this time... From Fuzhou, there is more than a thousand miles of sea route!
Who can tell clearly about the storms on the sea? Maybe just blow out the lamp and pull out the wax? Therefore, we have to prepare for the worst. The father and son cannot go to sea together, and they have to be arranged first.
According to the plan, Zhu Heji would go to Ningbo first. After establishing a foothold, King Zhu Tian would go to Ningbo to join him, and then lead three to four thousand people north to Tianjin.
Therefore, King Zhu Tian will stay in Nanchang for a while, waiting for Zhu Heji to go to Ningbo, and then go south to Guangdong.
Of course, Prime Minister Zhuge had to stay in Jiangxi to "draw hatred". On the one hand, he attracted the main force of Kangxi's Eight Banners New Army; on the other hand, he frightened Wu Sangui and told him not to act rashly... This was actually a "Little Three Kingdoms" balance of terror. ".
"Prime Minister," Zhu Heji said, "this time I will only take the second town south, and the remaining five towns plus the Yangtze River Navy will stay in Jiangxi. You must use them to eye Huainan and scare Huguang... Don’t be rash!”
This does not sound like what Zhu Heji said... In fact, Zhu Heji himself used troops much more recklessly than Zhuge Sanhe!
If it weren't for the sharpness of sugar and medicine weapons, he would have done bad things long ago!
"Don't worry, the supervisor," Zhuge Sanhe said with a smile, "Zhuge has always been cautious in his life! When I sit in Jiangxi, I will never let Kangxi and Wu Sangui take advantage of it, nor will I let Kangxi's soldiers escape from around Anqing... .I will definitely hang them up and prevent them from advancing or retreating!"
"It doesn't need to be hung for too long," Zhu Heji said with a smile, "two or three months is enough."
Then he said to King Zhu Tian: "Abba, the sea march cannot be guaranteed to be foolproof. If I make any mistakes, the cause of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty will depend on you and Prime Minister Zhuge..."
