Chapter 74 (6) The final crash

On the way back, the envoy inquired and understood: It turned out that a tiger, Li Guo, had been wandering all his life, became sick from overwork, and died of a sudden illness just after he came back from Sichuan.After his death, his subordinates were taken over by his son Li Laiheng.But Xiao Li lacks ability and prestige, so the one who speaks the most now should be Gao Yigong, the eldest brother-in-law of Chuangwang Li Zicheng. Life and death just couldn't win the title of King Qin, Sun Kewang was furious: let's go, let's go back to Xichuan! So Liu Wenxiu was sent to cross the Jinsha River and enter Xichuan, but Sun Kewang led his troops to Guizhou, where he was arresting a group of officials for ideological education, when he suddenly received a report:

report!A man named Kong Youde had invaded Guangxi, Guilin and Wuzhou fell, and the whereabouts of Emperor Yongli were unknown. At that time, Sun Kewang was shocked when he heard the words: Kong Youde?That guy is the most mentally handicapped. After surrendering to the Qing army, he has been in charge of logistics and transportation. Why did he also come to the front line this time? The Kong Youde mentioned here is the Kong Youde that Wu Sangui and his father Wu Xiang fought against in the early years, and the Kong Youde who pushed Shang Kexi's family into the sea and drowned.So ever since Shang Kexi defected to the past, the Qing court has always consciously separated the two guys, letting Shang Kexi be in charge of the frontline operations, and Kong Youde in charge of the rear transportation.But after Dorgon's death, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang pushed Kong Youde to the fore, and let him lead the gratifying troops.

That is to say, Kong Youde is not going to live long. Now Sun Kewang didn't know about the relationship between Kong Youde and Shang Kexi, he was just puzzled: Where did Emperor Yongli escape to? At this time, in the five southwestern provinces, all the armed forces were running around and swimming around, and the streets were bustling with scouts and military intelligence personnel.Everyone wanted to catch Emperor Yongli. The camp belonging to the Qing army wanted to capture him to make meritorious deeds; and the former rogues wanted to capture him even more. Only by capturing Emperor Yongli could they have the capital to surrender to the Qing court.After all, no one can compare to Wang Guangen. Someone took care of him 20 years ago, and other people have to figure out their own way of life.

Five soldiers with long braids entered Guilin for sightseeing. Passing a high platform, they suddenly heard someone yelling and drinking, punching and punching: five leaders, eight horses, six six, you drink what!Drink, drink... The soldiers hurriedly climbed to the stage to take a look, and saw two old men, wearing Ming Dynasty official uniforms, with their sleeves rolled up, happily drinking and punching. The soldier picked up the portraits on the arrest warrant and compared them, and was shocked: Hey!You two old men, are you the pseudo-academic scholar Qu Shixu and the pseudo-governor Zhang Tongchang of the Nanming puppet regime?

The two old men put down their wine glasses: What's the matter? Soldier: ...Nothing, just come and have a look... The soldier hurried away.Not long after, I saw Kong Youde arriving like a fly, climbing up panting heavily: Hello, two old leaders!Kong Youde has admired him for a long time. Two old men: Go, go, don't make trouble, they are throwing punches... Continue punching: How are you guys, Samsung Zhao, Qiqiao, all here... Drink, drink. Kong Youde hastily picked up the wine jar. Two old men: what are you doing? Kong Youde: I will serve wine to the two adults. Two old men: come on, where is your knife?

Kong Youde put down the wine jar angrily: What do you two think of me, Kong Youde?I, Lao Kong, am not a bandit, and I have never harmed loyal ministers in my life. The two old men remained silent and continued to drink. Kong Youde: ...You two, look, that...I mean, even if it is for the common people who have been tossed miserably by the rogues, the two of you...um, would you like, um, do something for the common people? Two old men: Aren't we doing this? Kong Youde: ...I mean, the two of you should come out to be officials, so that you can live up to what you have learned in your life...

Two old men: We promise you. Kong Youde was overjoyed: Really? Two old men: No wonder! Kong Youde: You...retire angrily. A few days later, Kong Youde came over again: Two old masters, I thought of a good idea again, let's see if we can... Well, first reach a consensus. Two old men: What consensus? Kong Youde: That's right... don't force me, you two, I really can't do it.What I mean is, let's find a temple, and you go in and become monks, and then if you love to oppose the Qing Dynasty, you will oppose the Qing Dynasty, and if you love to recover your eyesight, you will recover your eyesight.That's all right, right?

Two old men: Don't do it, we two old brothers will have sex with you hapless bastard. Oh my god... Kong Youde looked up to the sky and sighed. Both Qu Shixu and Zhang Tongchang died, which marked the complete collapse of the civil service system remaining in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and also marked that Hong Chengchou's Southwest Expedition had achieved phased results.
