Kunming, Pingxi Palace of Wuhua Mountain.
In the "Sizhen Pavilion" of Pingxi King Wu Yingxiong's study, Pingxi King Wu Yingxiong, Pingxi General Wu Guogui, and Guangxi Governor Zu Zeqing were facing each other in silence. Three letters were placed on the desk between them.
These three letters were sent by Fang Guangchen, Wu Yingxiong's former subordinate, Wu Tu, Wu Guogui's daughter, and Ding Zuda, the former hometown of Zu Zeqing's family. The contents of the letter all have the same meaning - Emperor Zhu Da is planning to attack Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, and tells them to run away quickly.
Yes, just running away. Surrender is not allowed, because Emperor Zhu Da has been having strange dreams in the past two days. In his dream, Emperor Yongli cried to him, saying that he was killed by Wu Sangui and Wu Yingxiong and his son, and asked Emperor Zhu Da to help him take revenge! In addition, Zhu Heji also stubbornly believed that Zu Zeqing was Wu Yingxiong's best friend and wanted to deal with him together. Therefore, Zhu Heji has appointed Wuxiang Marquis Zhuge Zhengyang as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and also ordered the three old brothers stationed in Guangdong to prepare for martial law.
Now Wu Yingxiong is considered by Zhu Heji to be one of the real culprits who killed Yongli, Wu Guogui really killed Yongli, and Zu Zeqing is considered by Zhu Heji to be Er Wu's best friend!
In short, the three of them are now on Emperor Zhu Da's blacklist. If they don't want to rebel, they have to be captured without mercy!
But Zhu Heji had already prepared at least 200,000 troops to suppress the three of them!
The room was quiet, except for the sighs of the three unlucky guys who deserved their punishment. I don’t know how long it took before I heard Wu Yingxiong sigh: “The Holy Spirit has not only prepared an army to encircle and suppress us, but he has also not forgotten to dig into our corners! Luo Sen, Wu Zhimao, and Tan Hong from Sichuan, and Li Benzhen from Guizhou have already received Zhu’s orders. An autographed letter from He Ji and Wu Yingqi. Wu Yingqi and Wu Shicong also released the governor and admiral of Sichuan. This is a clear plan to use the two of them to win over my subordinates and my third brother! I'm afraid that as soon as the heavenly soldiers arrive, my side will fall apart. , it’s a dead end..."
Wu Yingxiong still knows a little bit about himself. He cannot be Wu Sangui at all, and no one under him wants to die with him! Therefore, as soon as the soldiers of the Great Tomorrow arrive, his army will immediately disintegrate. At that time, everyone will rush to catch him and offer it to the Emperor of Tomorrow to atone for his sins. No one will help him fight at all.
In fact, he, the King of Pingxi, is short-term, and everything in Yunnan is handled by Pingxi General Wu Guogui, and Wu Yingxiong is an old homeboy on Wuhua Mountain.
fo
Seeing Wu Yingxiong's useless look, Zu Zeqing couldn't help but shed tears. . He couldn't understand why he got together with this loser? He has always been a man of three things. As early as when Zhu Heji conquered Guangdong, he had surrendered to the new Ming Dynasty. Although he also surrendered to Wu Sangui, Wu Yingxiong and his son, and the Qing Dynasty, he really did not want to be an enemy of any of the Ming, Qing, and Zhou families. He just wanted to be the king of Guangxi comfortably.
Why can't we meet such a small request?
What makes Zu Zeqing even more speechless is, why is Wu Yingxiong so cowardly? It fell apart before it was even beaten, and it was a dead end. What else could you expect from a product like this? Is it my destiny to be buried with this guy?
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Wu Guogui, wanting to see what Wu Guogui meant? If Wu Guogui wanted to tie up Wu Yingxiong and present it to Emperor Zhu as atonement, then he could help tie him up!
"Brother, Fourth Uncle Zu," Wu Guogui finally said, "Don't be afraid, we still have a chance!"
"Where is the opportunity?" Zu Zeqing looked at Wu Yingxiong maliciously.
"Third brother, where is the opportunity?" Wu Yingxiong looked at Wu Guogui eagerly.
Wu Guogui gritted his teeth and whispered: "The opportunity is in Myanmar, in Annan... At first glance, Yunnan and Guangxi seem to be in a corner of the south, with no place to change, but if Myanmar, Annan, Let’s look at the territories of Siam, Chenla, and Champa together. The three of us still have a lot to do! We have at least 100,000 reliable soldiers and horses, and half of them are already equipped with flintlock muskets, and the number of sugar and medicine weapons is also considered. We have enough rocket launchers, grenades, and Weiyuan cannons. If we can't defeat the Ming army, we can't defeat Myanmar and Annan? As far as I know, the Taungoo Kingdom of Myanmar has long been in decline, and the feudal lords below are all entrenched in one party. The decrees of the Ava court can only be circulated near the capital. However, Nan Ruan and Bei Zheng in Annan have been attacking each other for many years, and both have long been weak. As soon as our great soldiers of tomorrow arrive, they will either be captured without help, or they will be wiped out!"
Wu Yingxiong looked at Wu Guogui blankly, "Third brother, we are not soldiers of the Great Tomorrow, we are rebels!"
Zu Zeqing nodded: "That's right, the three of us don't mind that Myanmar and Annan are poor and far away, but why are the people below willing to follow us to the miasma land to resist the Celestial Empire?"
Wu Guogui said with a serious face: "Brother, Fourth Uncle Zu, what did you say? Why are we rebels? Who said that? When did the imperial court issue an edict to attack us? Did the imperial court issue an edict to attack us?"
"No, not yet." Zu Zeqing shook his head quickly.
Wu Yingxiong said: "Not yet, but it will be soon."
Wu Guogui smiled: "Since there is no edict to attack, then we are still King Pingxi, General Pingxi and Governor of Guangxi in the Ming Dynasty... Our soldiers are the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty! We have learned from the mistakes of Japan, and Xiaoxiao in Burma and Annan Where can we dare to fight against the heavenly soldiers? As soon as the heavenly soldiers arrive, they will either flee or descend. Maybe we can take over Annan and Burma without any blood!"
After Zhu Heji defeated Japan, the countries and feudal lords in Southeast Asia who used Japanese mercenaries as soldiers were frightened. They felt that it was very hard to have hundreds or even thousands of Japanese mercenaries in their hands. And the Ming Dynasty defeated hundreds of thousands of Japanese samurai...
Therefore, if Wu Yingxiong, Wu Guogui, and Zu Zeqing sent troops under the banner of the Great Tomorrow Soldiers, the people in Annan and Myanmar would not be able to bear this momentum.
In addition, the troops under Wu Yingxiong, Wu Guogui, and Zu Zeqing were all "fearful of the Ming Dynasty as a tiger." If the three men raised the banner of anti-Ming Dynasty, the people's hearts would disperse. If they claim to have obtained the imperial edict of the Emperor of Heaven, they will send troops to Annan and Burma to fight against their enemies. Of course the people below are confident - they have been waiting for this day for a long time! They want to make great achievements and get generous rewards from the court!
Zu Zeqing's eyes rolled, and he thought this method was feasible, so he said to Wu Yingxiong: "Your Majesty, let's do something... After we capture Burma and Annan, we can use our authority to know the national affairs and affairs of Burma." In the name of knowing the state affairs of Annan, I asked the court to make him a king."
Wu Yingxiong was doubtful, "Can it be sealed?"
Wu Guogui said with a smile: "Even if you can't be crowned, you can still be a powerful person who knows the affairs of the country... By the time our son is born, he will probably be crowned king. Wasn't that the case in North Korea back then?"
Wu Yingxiong said: "Yes, but the Holy One always dreams about Yongli, what should we do? He will hold on to this matter, and we still have to finish!"
"This matter is easy to handle!" Wu Guogui said, "I killed Yongli, and it had nothing to do with eldest brother and fourth uncle... The whole world knows about this!"
Wu Yingxiong and Zu Zeqing looked at Wu Guogui, waiting for his next words.
Wu Guogui pretended to be mysterious and said: "Aren't my daughters Xiaotu and Fang Guangchen coming to Yunnan soon? As long as they arrive, we are not afraid that the Holy Emperor will continue to dream about Yongli."
