Chapter 45 The forty-fifth chapter of San Francisco's extinct rebels conferred the first order of the world and the ten thousand people celebrated the peace

Zhang Jianxun ordered Zhou Peigong to be captured, but Gong Rongyu rescued him again. How did Zhang Jianxun know Gong Rongyu's mood!He is a man who has always been arrogant, and he doesn't listen to anyone except Wang Shirong.In the army, Gong Rongyu's rank was lower than him, but his rank was higher than him, and he never tried to make friends with him. Rong Yu's martial arts were no worse than Zhang Jianxun's, so he didn't dare to provoke him openly.During the Tianjinghe battle a few days ago, Ma Yigui died in battle, and Zhang Jianxun's subordinates suffered heavy casualties. He lost his helpers and the capital to find new jobs, so he had to be honest.Unexpectedly, Gong Rongyu took away Luo Han's money today in front of Wang Shirong, and took away Zhou Peigong who had already been captured. Can he swallow this breath?So, as soon as Gong Rongyu finished speaking, he jumped up and cursed:

"Okay! Are you going to turn against me, kid?" As he spoke, he pulled out his sword and forced Gong Rongyu towards him.At the same time, the soldiers of the two men also drew their swords and approached each other in order to protect their chief general. Seeing that a fire was about to break out, the dejected Wang Fuchen shivered.Although he didn't know the reason for Gong Rongyu's anger, he had seen Wang Shirong's little gesture just now, and he had heard Zhang Jianxun's rude words.The truth Zhou Peigong said burned in his heart like a fire.He couldn't let his subordinates hurt the emperor's envoys, let alone let his army become annihilated.Just when the two sides were about to start fighting, he suddenly stood up and shouted angrily: "Stop, step back! -Mr. Zhou, please sit down. The brothers below are rude, ignorant and don't understand the rules. You laughed at me. Just now What Mr. said, although a little serious, is reasonable. But since you know that I have committed a 'heavy crime' and 'incapable of running an army', why do you still come to see me?"

Hearing the tone of Wang Fuchen's voice changed, Zhou Peigong was secretly happy, and said sincerely: "General Wang, you can make up for a great crime with great merit. The emperor has clearly stated that what the soldiers did in the past was fooled by others. You took the risk as a last resort, as long as the general abandons the dark side and turns to the bright side, is there any reason for the court to not forgive you? As long as you are willing to make meritorious deeds, the court has no reason not to, Zhou and General Tu are willing to protect the general with their lives."

When things got to this point, Wang Shirong couldn't sit still.Wang Fuchen has clearly revealed his intention to surrender, and if he doesn't speak, he will lose everything.So as soon as Mr. Zhou Pei's words fell, he eagerly picked up the conversation: "Hmph, well said, Mr. Zhou, you are the guarantor for General Wang, who will guaranty for you? Brother Fuchen, the one in front of you Humans are vicious and treacherous. Haven’t you suffered enough to lose your soldiers and children? Tuhai’s 30,000 soldiers and horses are exhausted after a long journey and fierce battles. As long as you stick to it for two more days, I will bring Fifty thousand elite soldiers will arrive in Pingliang and capture Tuhai alive with you to avenge your revenge. The general is in an important place on three sides, and in the future he will send his troops to the east to pacify the Central Plains and create a great cause that will never be seen in the world. Isn't it better than being a slave of the Manchu Qing? Brother Chen, you have to think twice!"

All the generals in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay after hearing what Wang Shirong said. But Gong Rongyu stepped forward and asked: "Mr. Wang said that others are not trustworthy, so how trustworthy are your words?" "Oh, haha, General Gong doesn't have to worry; I, Wang Shirong, won't leave after I come here, and I want to live and die here with the soldiers under Fu Chen's command, and share honor and disgrace. If the rescue army can fly to Pingliang within three days, Please General Gong cut off Wang's head to thank the three armies!" Zhou Peigong smiled slightly: "Okay, Mr. Wang is really good. I would like to ask, how did you know that 50,000 reinforcements came to Pingliang?"

"Hey, I brought it from Yungui myself, there is no reason why I didn't know it." "Oh, then why didn't you come with the army, but entered the city alone?" "Ah, what's so strange about this, did I rush to the front to report the news?" "Well, your 50,000 soldiers and horses are still on their way, right? Isn't it an exhausted army and horses after traveling thousands of miles from Yungui to here? As for having 50,000 soldiers, that would be even more ridiculous. , Wu Sangui's total force is 530,000, more than 300,000 are trapped in Yuezhou and cannot be pulled out; 160,000 are scattered around the Yangtze River and the Han River; there are less than 60,000 stationed in the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. Excuse me, where? Where are the fifty thousand elite soldiers?"

"This, this... hmph, where do our soldiers and horses come from? You don't have to tell Mr. Zhou." "If you don't tell me, I'll tell you! You have less than 10,000 old, weak and remnant soldiers, how can you call it 50,000? How can you be called an elite soldier if you galloped for more than 3,000 miles in the starry night? Forget it, don't Play the old trick of self-deception again." "You, you, you are spitting blood. I, Wang Shirong, am a famous scholar in Shaanxi. I have traveled around the world since I was a child, and I have always treated people with sincerity. Where did the word 'deception' come from?!"

"Ha...that's very good. You really deserve the word 'famous scholar'. You learned the Three Qins for the first time, traveled all over the Three Wus, and traveled all over the southern countries. Lu, go to Tongguan to the west, Wudang to the south, drink to Jinling, play Liang Mulberry Garden, no matter if it’s the thoroughfare Dadu, or Yunling Caoxi, who doesn’t know your name, Wang Shirong?” Wang Shirong was startled: "Huh? I don't know this person before. How can he know my experience so clearly? It seems that I'm going to make a fool of myself here today. He wanted to refute Zhou Peigong's words, but what he just said didn't make any sense. There was no derogatory intention at all, and there was no mistake in a sentence. If you want to dismiss it, how can you open your mouth? You can only strike up a conversation and say: "Ah, how dare you, how dare you, Mr. Zhou has praised you.But what kind of person I am, it seems that you don't need to comment, the world has its own opinion! "

"Yes. In all fairness, you do have some advantages. You are beautiful, good-looking, and gentle in every gesture; beautiful and self-pitying. As a man, you look like a virgin; in and out of the army, you are not rough Everywhere I go, I am full of praise from the streets and alleys, and there are young men and widows who follow me. Hehe, Mr. Wang, who else in the world can have such a romance, such an affair?" Wang Shirong could hear the sarcasm in this voice, but he had always been proud of his appearance being better than Pan An, so how could he deny this account?Before he could think of what to say, Zhou Peigong spoke again:

"Mr. Wang lobbied and preached in various places in the north and south, and fought among the princes. He sang songs and sang, swayed wine and wrote papers; he remained calm in danger, and his air was calm. When he talked, everyone was shocked; he wrote a thousand words, and he was done in an instant. With you The ability to change, like a reedy tongue, travels back and forth between Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Gansu, and the Western Regions. It may be planned in a secret room, or it may be clamored in front of the army. Spread rumors, stir up trouble, instigate rebellion, Cause trouble, insidious and cunning, tricky and deceitful, slick in all directions, and has the right and wrong. Hmph, with such scheming and means, can there be a second person in the world?"

"you you……" "Don't worry about Mr. Wang, there is more. Your virtue, your character, and your beautiful girly appearance are even more different than ice coal. You betrayed the king, deceived your father and brother, betrayed your kindness, and betrayed your friends. Peng, all kinds of strange and despised behaviors, even the culprits and evils throughout the ages, can't compare with you. Why, do you want me to tell you one by one?" Wang Shirong stood up suddenly, waved the jade Xiao in his hand, and screamed furiously: "Brothers, don't listen to his nonsense!..." "Ha...Mr. Wang, without your nonsense, how could there be my nonsense. Let me ask you: Wu Sangui is your old master for many years, but you have hooked up with Shang Zhixin behind his back. What is the purpose of Fu Honglie and You are an acquaintance of eight worshippers, and you keep saying that you respect him as your elder brother, but you first harmed him with the help of Shang Zhixin, and then tricked him to Wu Shizheng, where he was brutally killed. Why? The general and his subordinates have always respected your talent and resourcefulness You used your strategy and believed in your oath, but you pushed them step by step to this deserted land, to this desperate situation where every day should not be answered, and the land is not working, and now you want them to believe in your fifty thousand dollars. The nonsense of elite soldiers, is this the loyalty and sincerity towards friends? When your father was seriously ill, you did not perform your filial piety in front of the bed, but you bullied your mother and sister-in-law, did ugly things worse than animals, and even married your wife to death. It caused a fire all over the sky. A shameless person like you, such a filial piety, such a famous person, is really rare in ancient times, the best in the world!" Wang Shirong stopped jumping and screaming. He slumped down on the chair, a mouthful of thick phlegm welling up in his throat, making him breathless. body, but Zhou Peigong still insisted: "Mr. Wang, let's just talk about your inseparable Yu Xiao. Who made it come from, and why do you regard it as your life? If you die today, I ask you, what face do you have to see you with it?" Should you return it to your sister-in-law, or let your father use it to beat you? My God, my God, years of military disasters have devastated the lives of the people, and the people are in dire straits. What about the human world?" Before Zhou Pei could finish his words, Wang Shirong was already struggling to stand up, raised the jade Xiao in his hand, and fell to the ground with a "thud".He staggered a few steps, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground dead! At this moment, a flame flashed from the direction of Hudun outside the city.A thunderous rumble sounded across the sky and landed in the backyard of the Warlord's Xingyuan.The violent explosion shook the beams and columns of the hall to make crackling noises.Everyone at the scene turned pale and trembled all over. Wang Fuchen pushed up his seat, ran to Zhou Peigong and knelt down: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou for your teaching. Wang Fuchen, I have failed the emperor's grace, and I am ashamed of my subordinates. I, I deserve death what……" Four gates of Pingliang City were opened, one street and two alleys were filled with incense cases, and the people of the whole city flocked to the streets, cheering for finally escaping the disaster of being trapped in the city. Amid high-spirited military music, Tu Hai, General Fuyuan of the Qing Dynasty, and Zhou Peigong, General Fuyuan Counselor, dressed in auspicious uniforms, rode tall horses and entered the city with bridles.Wang Fuchen was shirtless, knelt at the gate of the city, tied himself up and pleaded guilty.When Tuhai saw it, he hurriedly got off his horse, took a few steps forward, helped him up, and ordered his subordinates to fetch the robes for Wang Fuchen immediately, and kindly reprimanded him, "Fuchen, what are you doing? Your heart told me that even though you made a wrong move, it was due to the situation. Now, you can surrender anyway, not only saving the people in this city, but also stabilizing the situation on the Western Front. This is also a great contribution. !" Wang Fuchen took the leopard-tailed spear from his entourage.I presented it to Tu Hai with both hands: "Old General Tu, this is the leopard tail gun bestowed on me by the Holy Majesty. I have failed the Holy Grace, and I have no face to enjoy this honor again. Now I present it to the military gate. Please return it to the Holy Lord on my behalf. Wang Fuchen wishes I will follow you back to Beijing to be punished..." "Hey... what are you talking about? When we left the capital to give our speech, the emperor himself ordered that we must serve the general generously. Tu Hai, I have no choice but to fight with you. The golden gun bestowed by the emperor, Brother Fuchen should stay by your side. Let’s go, the next step in the military requires you and me to join hands and build new merits together!” Wu Sangui, who was at the end of the road, received the battle report from the Western Front and was so startled that he couldn't speak anymore. It had been six years since the incident, and he was hoping that with one move of the flag, the whole world would respond. Hit away, still trapped in Hengyue area, alas!If I knew today, why bother.You shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't surrender King Chuang first and then Daqing on a whim, and you shouldn't kill Emperor Yongli, so that you will stink your famous property in front of the people of the world, and you won't regret it And! Wu Sangui's life was really difficult. He raised the flag of rebellion and played the sign of restoring the Han family, but there were very few responders.Not only the Han people who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty scolded him.Even the elders and children of the former Ming Dynasty pointed their noses at him and scolded him.It made Wu Sangui rebel, but there was no reason to shout loudly.Knowing that he stinks, he had no choice but to pin his hopes on Yang Qilong, wanting to use the famous brand of "Third Prince Zhu" to appeal to the world.However, Yang Qilong didn't listen to his restraint, and acted on his own, resulting in his being wiped out overnight.Yang Qilong hid himself and never dared to show his face again.Wu Sangui played the banner of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he only dared to call himself the "Generalissimo of the Great Zhou Dynasty", but he did not dare to proclaim himself the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.He was afraid that because he proclaimed himself emperor, he would offend all the heroes in the world and fall into a situation of isolation and helplessness.However, just like that, Geng Jingzhong, Shang Zhixin, Sun Yanling, Wang Fuchen and the others still refused to listen to him, saying that they wanted to conspire with him for a great cause, but they each had their own plans.No one showed sincerity to Wu Sangui.Now, Geng Jingzhong has surrendered, Sun Yanling has surrendered, Wang Puchen has surrendered, and Shang Zhixin, the only one who retains his strength, is also flirting with the court.ready to surrender.What should Wu Sangui do? The protracted war has consumed Wu Sanjia's strength and worn down the fighting spirit of his subordinates. There have been a lot of complaints and complaints in the army. They are all complaining about Wu Sangui.He rebelled and did not dare to establish a country and proclaim himself emperor, causing his subordinates to throw away their wives and children. Apart from working hard, they could not get any benefits.As usual, Wu Sangui would never let go of this kind of discussion in the army, ranging from eighty army sticks to beheading.But right now, he can't do that. The complaints of the soldiers are all true.Alas, since the soldiers and horses from all walks of life have collapsed, and those who have surrendered have surrendered, I am the only one left, so I don’t need to worry about it anymore. Zhen Junwei, maybe he can still create a situation. However, Emperor Kangxi refused to give Wu Sangui a chance.It was not as convenient for Wu Sangui to confer titles and titles to motivate soldiers.Wang Fuchen has surrendered, and his past mistakes will not be pursued. Even Zhang Jianxun was reinstated as an official;Kangxi was magnanimous to all people, and his grievances and mistakes were wiped out, and he ordered them to take their crimes and make meritorious deeds to serve the court.There is only one person who does not forgive, does not let, does not forgive, and does not forgive, and that is Wu Sangui. For a time, victorious divisions from all walks of life, from Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian, from Gansu, Shaanxi and the Central Plains, overwhelmingly pressed on Yunnan, Guizhou, and Hunan.Wu Sangui, who had just sat on the Dragon Throne of the Emperor of the Great Zhou for a few days, finally fell ill after being betrayed by all relatives, suffered repeated failures, and was anxious and angry. The plums are red and the plums are falling, the willows are fresh and green; the blue sky is like washing, and the clear water is like clear water.A letter of victory, riding the spring breeze, flew to Beijing, flew to the Forbidden City, and fell on Kangxi's imperial case one after another. Outside the Qianqing Gate and in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, there was joy everywhere.Emperor Kangxi sat high on the dragon seat, stroking his newly grown mustache, and looked at the gathering of Manchu and Han ministers with joy. At this moment, the Empress Dowager walked tremblingly, surrounded by maids. Coming over, he shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door: "Tuhai, are you back?" Tuhai quickly knelt down: "Slave Tuhai pays respects to Lafayette!" "Get up, tell me, how did that kid Wu Sangui die?" "Back to Lafayette, since Wang Fuchen surrendered, Wu Sangui knew that his end was coming, but he hadn't become emperor yet, and he refused to give up, so he hurriedly proclaimed himself emperor in Hengzhou. It was too late to build the palace. Painted yellow paint on the tiles; there was no court room, and a row of mat sheds was built. That day, it was sunny and sunny, but just as Wu Sangui sat on the dragon seat, suddenly a strong wind blew up and dark clouds surrounded him. , Thunder and lightning struck, and there was a torrential rain. The mat shed used as the imperial house was swept up into the sky, and the yellow paint on the roof tiles of the main hall was washed away by the heavy rain. Wu Sangui was so frightened that he fell off the dragon seat , the mouth was crooked, the eyes were evil, and he couldn't speak anymore, and he had a high fever for three days, and he died!" Zhou Peigong knew that Tu Hai's words were not without exaggeration, but the Empress Dowager was elated when she heard it. She proclaimed the Buddha's name and said repeatedly: "Amitabha, what a retribution! You see, the real dragon emperor is here. Besides my grandson, who can sit on the throne of the dragon? Your Majesty, meritorious ministers should be rewarded and rewarded, and they should also be celebrated!" "Yes, yes, grandma is right. The grandson has passed on the decree, and the capital and the whole country will celebrate it! The Empress Dowager laughed, so did Emperor Kangxi, Xiong Cilu, Suo'etu, Mingzhu, Tuhai, Zhou Peigong, and all the ministers, eunuchs, guards, and maids in the palace laughed. The Qing Empire ushered in a warm spring amid laughter.
