Chapter 38 1. Wang Shirong proposed to form a friendship between the two feudal lords

Because he followed Wang Shirong's plan to build momentum, Wu Sangui's image in the minds of the people in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces has changed.Wu Sangui became a hero in the hearts of the people who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, and it was their hope for fighting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. Although the public did not see any anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty behaviors by Wu Sangui at this time, in the eyes of the public, Wu Sangui donated money to build the Yongli Emperor's Mausoleum, and went to the Yongli Emperor's Tomb to worship Yongli Emperor, which is a real anti-Qing Fuming .Therefore, the people in Yunnan and Guizhou are well-known for Wu Sangui's move.

Of course Wu Sangui knew what the people were saying about him, and he also knew that it would have a bad influence on him, because the court could smell his peculiar smell, but he didn't care about anything!He felt that nothing could win the hearts of the people. Now, Wu Sangui obeys Wang Shirong's advice. Seeing that his method of building momentum had such a miraculous effect, Wang Shirong was also very happy, and at the same time he was full of confidence in himself.He decided to implement a second-step strategy. Wang Shirong came to Wu Sangui's study.Seeing Wang Shirong approaching, Wu Sangui quickly put down the book in his hand, and said to Wang Shirong, "Thank you for your guidance, sir, this king is here today."

Wang Shirong said: "Prince Pingxi, you don't have to be polite! This is just the beginning, and the best is yet to come." Seeing that there was something in Wang Shirong's words, Wu Sangui immediately asked, "Does Mr. Wang have any good plans?" Wang Shirong smiled but did not answer. Seeing this, Wu Sangui immediately expressed his opinion: "Sir, you can speak up if you have something to say, and this king will obey you!" Wang Shirong asked: "May I ask if King Pingxi wants to have a corner of the world, or the whole world?" Wu Sangui was so proud that he immediately said, "Of course I want to control the whole world!"

Wang Shirong said: "If only one corner of the world can be obtained, King Pingxi only needs to support himself. If he wants to obtain the whole world, the matter is only the beginning." Wu Sangui said: "Then please advise me, sir!" Wang Shirong said: "King Pingxi now has the power to conquer the world!" Wu Sangui was startled when he heard this, and asked: "This king didn't work hard, how did he gain the power of the world?" Wang Shirong said: "The world of the Qing Dynasty was originally taken from the Ming Dynasty. It is the world of our Han people, not the world of the Manchus. It is unrighteous for the Manchus to take it! Doing unrighteous things will definitely arouse the resentment of the world. Ping Xi Wang Ruoyan took it because he lost it to the Han people and gained it from the Han people. It is a matter of reason. This is power."

Wu Sangui said: "However, this king has become a traitor in the eyes of the Han people. They want to eat my flesh and suck my marrow. How can they support me?" Wang Shirong said: "This moment is also, and that moment is also!" Wu Sangui asked: "What is the difference between this moment and that moment?" Wang Shirong said: "At this time, since King Pingxi repaired the tomb of Emperor Yongli first and worshiped Emperor Yongli's tomb later, he has clearly shown his heart to the people of the world! Who will stand up against King Pingxi? Unless he insists on The Han people are the Manchus."

Wu Sangui said suspiciously: "In this way, it is not an unjust act for me to take over the Qing Dynasty?" Wang Shirong said, "Exactly." Wu Sangui became complacent. When Wang Shirong saw it, he immediately said: "Although King Pingxi has the power to conquer the world of the Qing Dynasty, if he does not have the power to conquer the world of the Qing Dynasty, it will be in vain!" Wu Sangui was startled when he heard this, and then restrained his arrogance, and asked: "This king already has hundreds of generals and over ten thousand elite soldiers. Doesn't he have the power to conquer the world?"

Wang Shirong said: "Although King Pingxi's army is strong, it is only enough to take a corner of the world! If he wants to take the whole world, King Pingxi must have someone to help him!" Wu Sangui asked: "Who can help me?" Wang Shirong said: "This should have been asked to King Pingxi, why ask me?" Wu Sangui began to ponder.In fact, he already had millions of magical soldiers in his heart, but he was afraid that Wang Shirong would be spying on his own reality, so he didn't dare to vent it lightly, and just pretended to be contemplative. Wang Shirong smiled and said: "If King Pingxi is regarded as a tiger, the ministers of the king of Xi'an can be the left wing of King Pingxi; while King Pingnan of Guangdong is still Kexi, and King Jingzhong of Jingnan of Fujian can be the right wing of King Pingxi."

Wu Sangui was startled when he heard it, and thought: This kid has a big appetite.In fact, what Wu Sangui thought in his heart was not as good as what Wang Shirong said, he just regarded Wang Fuchen as a force, and Shang Kexi, Geng Jingzhong and others, he really didn't have the slightest grasp in his heart.Although I have some contacts with them, I can't decide whether they will support such anti-Qing and Ming-ming things. Wang Shirong just stared at Wu Sangui and smiled. Wu Sangui seemed to be aware of his gaffe, so he quickly turned his head and stared at Wang Shirong. Wang Shirong asked: "Is what Wang said wrong?"

Wu Sangui said: "Sir's words are certainly reasonable, but I am not sure about this matter in my heart." Wang Shirong said with a smile: "King Pingxi already has the longitude and latitude in his heart, why should he say that he is not sure?" Wu Sangui was shocked, and hurriedly asked: "Why did you say that, sir?" Wang Shirong said: "As far as Wang knows, Wang Fuchen was a thief at first, and later conspired against him, and surrendered to Prince Azige of England. He found a bodyguard to follow Hong Chengchou in the southern expedition, and because of Hong Chengchou's support, he worshiped the official as the general soldier. Later, he followed King Pingxi He was promoted to admiral only after entering Burma and defeating Emperor Yongli. From this point of view, King Pingxi had the kindness to support Wang Fuchen, so how could he not be with King Pingxi? Besides, Wang Fuchen came from robbers, how could he live under the Manchus for a long time? "

When Wu Sangui heard this, he felt that Wang Shirong was unfathomable.I have a deep friendship with Wang Fuchen, but I have been doing it in secret, the intention is to prevent leakage!Who knew that Wang Shirong could tell the truth!Wu Sangui felt that this point could not be further discussed with Wang Shirong, so he said: "Even if it is as Mr. said, Shang and Geng are both feudal lords with me, how can they obey me?" Wang Shirong shook his head and said, "King Pingxi's words are very clever! As the saying goes: chickens fly from the phoenix! Shang and Geng each have 15 soldiers and 6,000 green flag soldiers. King Pingxi has 53 soldiers. The leader and the Green Banner have 12,000 soldiers, which is already the sum of Shang Geng and the two men. In addition to the more than ten thousand soldiers recruited by King Pingxi, how can the two of Shang Geng compete with King Pingxi?"

Wu Sangui was even more surprised when he heard this!It turned out that Wang Shirong was not a frivolous person, but had done some research.He even has a general idea of ​​the forces in the king's barracks, which shows how hard he has worked hard.Because of the surrendered generals he recruited, he has always had reservations about it. Wu Sangui felt more and more that he could rely heavily on Wang Shirong.However, he still decided to test Wang Shirong further.Wu Sangui said to Wang Shirong: "Even if, as you said, Shang and Geng will not fight against the king, how can you see that the two of them will submit to the king and oppose the Qing Dynasty?" Wang Shirong said: "Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, and Geng Zhongming, the grandfather of King Geng Jingzhong of Jingnan, were both Ming generals who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. The reason why they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty was not voluntary, but forced by the situation! Now, if King Pingxi rises up, Set up the banner of anti-Qing and restoring the Ming, how can Shang and Geng refuse to follow?" Wu Sangui asked, "Mister, why do you have to be so decisive?" Wang Shirong said: "It's not that Wang made a decisive statement, but that's what it is! Just think, Shang and Geng are both descendants of the Han people like you and me. How could they give up their own world to others? Unless they have forgotten their ancestors! " Seeing Wang Shirong speak so impassionedly, Wu Sangui couldn't help but be moved by it! Wu Sangui asked: "How can Shang and Geng be united with this king?" Wang Shirong said: "Wang is willing to learn from Su Qin in the past and lobby the world!" Wu Sangui said yes loudly!
