Chapter 102 Verse 12 "Take My House and My Son"

Wu Sangui came to Yunnan following the footsteps of Yongli. Although the Ming Dynasty fell, the descendants of the Zhu family never gave up their efforts to restore it.The remnants of the Ming Dynasty established the Nanming regime in Jiangnan, which still has a huge appeal in the empire.It's a pity that this small imperial court still couldn't change the old problem of fighting in the nest. It was so busy fighting for power and profit all day long that it was chased by the Qing army and fled here and there all day long.Emperor Yongli, who chased after Nanming, was often hungry and sleepless, and occasionally got a bowl of bait and fried vegetables, which was also called "big rescue".In the end, he was chased to nowhere and escaped into the wild and hot Burma, only to save his life.

It seems that Emperor Yongli can only die silently in Burma, and the Manchus finally let go of their hanging hearts.But Wu Sangui had a different idea.He believes that only by capturing and killing Yongli can he completely prove his loyalty. Wu Sangui had no personal likes or dislikes for Emperor Yongli.As a former Ming minister, he was not without compassion and regret for the descendants of the old master. The Ming Dynasty did not do anything wrong to Wu Sangui, only Gao Enhoude, his fame and status in the first half of his life were bestowed by the Ming Dynasty, but what he rewarded was the ruthless pursuit of the descendants of the Ming Dynasty.However, since you are a villain, let's do it to the end!Now, he is going to borrow the head of his former benefactor.

Therefore, Wu Sangui wrote a letter requesting to enter Burma to wipe out the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty.Emperor Shunzhi didn't think it was necessary, and Nanming fled into the wilderness, and it was impossible to make a comeback, so let him go.But Wu Sangui pleaded repeatedly, pointing out that the so-called immortal eternal calendar has "three troubles and two difficulties", and finally said that Emperor Shunzhi was moved.Thus, Wu Sangui led the army to embark on a journey to serve the Qing court. How could a small Burmese stand against the army of the Qing Dynasty? Wu Sangui's journey was overwhelming, and it seemed that he would be able to kill all the descendants of the Zhu family.At this moment, he unexpectedly received a letter wrapped in bright yellow satin embroidered with a five-clawed dragon, which was a personal letter from Emperor Yongli, the thirteenth generation of Zhu Yuanzhang.Wu Sangui couldn't help being shocked.Looking at the handwriting of the troubled king and grandson, for some reason, an unspeakable complex emotion surged in his heart.

The letter is beautifully written: The servant is crossing the desert, and chatting with the Burmese to strengthen Wuyu.The mountains are far away and the rivers are far away. Whoever laughs when you talk and laugh will only increase your sorrow!Since the mountains and rivers guarded by the world have been lost, Gou Quan is lucky to have lost his life to the barbarians! If the general does not avoid hardships and dangers, please order to come, bring hundreds of thousands of people, and pursue the body of the rebellious traveler, why do you think that the world is not vast?Is it true that in the sky and the earth, there is no servant alone?Or do you still want to wipe out your servants to claim credit after being crowned Wang Xijue?But Emperor Sigao, despite the wind and rain, still can't leave a piece of land, thinking that the general made great achievements?

The general wants to take my house and my son, read the chapter of "Owl", can you not feel sorry for him? The general is still a descendant of Shilu, that is, he does not feel pity for his servants, but does he not remember the first emperor?That is to say, if you don't think about the first emperor, don't you only think about the second ancestors?That is to say, don't you think of your second ancestors, but don't you think of your own grandfather?I don't know what kindness and virtue the Qing Dynasty owes to the general?What hatred does the servant have against the general?The general thinks he is wise, but he becomes stupid; he thinks he is thick, but he feels weak.

After Yisi, there are biography in history and records in books. Why should a general be like a human being?The servants of the present are weak and weak, standing alone, and their mere fate hangs in the hands of the general.If you must want to serve the leader, even though your body is smashed to pieces and your blood is splashed on grass, you dare not give up. If it turns misfortunes into blessings, or uses a square inch of land, there are still three things, let alone hope.If you can share the rain and dew with the Taiping grass and trees in the holy dynasty, even if there are hundreds of millions of servants, you will also pay the general, and the general is the only one.

The generals and ministers who served the Qing Dynasty can also be said to not forget the blood of the old master, and to live up to the great virtues of the late emperor.I only hope to judge it! This is really an excellent article, full of laughter and cursing, but calm and unhurried, every sentence hides wit but is sad and tactful.This is also an angry, bewildered, and painful call to the orthodox ideology.In Wu Sangui's eyes, in the eyes of anyone at the time, every word of this letter was awe-inspiring, and every sentence was penetrating. Every word burned Wu Sangui's eyes and heart like a flame.

He couldn't help but be touched, this letter would definitely stir up the deep sense of guilt that was suppressed in his heart but never extinguished, and touch his long-sealed conscience. "The general is still a descendant of Shilu, that is, he does not feel pity for his servants, but he does not think of the first emperor? He does not think of the first emperor, but he does not think of his second ancestors? He does not think of his second ancestors, but his own grandfather. "But Emperor Sigao, in spite of the wind and rain, still can't leave a piece of land, thinking that the general made meritorious deeds? The general not only takes my room, but also wants to take my son. After reading the chapter of "Owl", can you not feel sorry for him? ?”

Every word and sentence reminds Wu Sangui of the absurd and helpless living conditions, reminds Wu Sangui's spiritual life has been exiled to the barbarism by the universal values, and reminds Wu Sangui's soul of being exposed in the wilderness. The Emperor Yongli, who was known for his timidity and was on the run all day long, should be included in the list of masters of writing based on this article.However, compared with his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, he still seems too naive.Words are always the palest, they only work on those pale and weak souls.In the face of naked evil, this effort seems childish and ridiculous.This letter only made Wu Sangui uncomfortable for a while, and it didn't affect the army's progress at all.

Under the pressure of the Qing army, the Burmese had to donate the Yongli.On the second day after receiving this letter, Wu Sangui walked slowly to Emperor Yongli's residence with several guards. Under the thick shed of the tropical bamboo building, Emperor Yongli sat facing south.He wore a horsehair corrugated hat, a pure silk robe with large sleeves, and a yellow ribbon around his waist.In the name of the emperor, the last emperor, Kong, fled and wandered all his life.But after all, he is a nobleman, he has a majestic appearance and a dignified manner.He sat motionless on the bamboo chair, his eyes staring blankly ahead.For some reason, when Wu Sangui saw this person, his heartbeat suddenly became chaotic. He walked more and more slowly, and stopped quietly a few steps away from Emperor Yongli.

Seeing someone coming in, Emperor Yongli asked softly, "Who is it?" For some reason, Wu Sangui opened his mouth, but no words came out.Emperor Yongli asked again: "Who is coming?" With a plop, Wu Sangui himself did not expect that, in a trance, he was already kneeling in front of this young man. "You are Pingxi King Wu Sangui, right?" Yongli still asked softly. Wu Sangui didn't hear anything, he just vaguely saw the questioning expression on the face of this young man who resembled Emperor Chongzhen.He couldn't tell what he was talking about, he just replied mechanically: "Yes! Yes..." After an unknown amount of time, he finally heard Yongli's long sigh: "It's useless to say anything! It's just that I'm from the north, and I want to see the Twelve Tombs before I die. You can always do that, right?" He reluctantly responded again.Yongli waved to him lightly, telling him to retreat, but he couldn't stand up, so the guards came up to help him out. After this day, Wu Sangui never saw Yongli again.Four months later, regardless of other people's objections, he did not take Yongli to Beijing, but hanged him on Bizipo outside Kunming.
