Chapter 65: My Family
Li Guo felt that the Yueming court and the Longwu court were birds of a feather, and the Longwu court had no choice but to say that there was a governor of Huguang like He Tengjiao and half of Huguang territory. The Yueming court's territory was almost limited to Zhejiang Province and had no foundation in Huguang. It was better to have a good talk with He Tengjiao of the Longwu Dynasty than to be loyal to the people of Yue.
However, Li Guo clearly felt that his reasons were very convincing, but the Dashun Dynasty generals present were indifferent and did not listen to Li Guo's opinions at all. Even Gao Yigong, who withdrew from northern Shaanxi with Li Guo, was silent now, and only Empress Dowager Gao's pretty face was flushed for some reason.
Finally, Tian Jianxiu broke the silence of the audience. He told Li Guo: "We have indeed contacted Zhejiang and had a good talk. Zhejiang is different from He Tengjiao, the dog governor, and is very sincere. Moreover, in August, the Ming army of Yueming reported victory on the river, not only wiped out 40,000 troops from Jianlu Boluobeile, but also severely damaged tens of thousands of troops from King Yu Duoduo, and brought Duoduo, the thief back to Nanjing!"
Few of the generals of the Dashun Army present were not very familiar with Boluo, but they were so angry that they gritted their teeth for Prince Yu Duo.
Just at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, Li Zicheng led the main force of the Dashun Army to launch a strategic decisive battle in Tongguan that concerns the fate of the two countries. However, the final result was that the Dashun Country was completely defeated. Li Zicheng's army ended in failure, regardless of infantry, cavalry, night war, sneak attack war or other forms of confrontation. After Duoduo invested in the red cannon, the Dashun Army naturally collapsed completely.
The other battles that concern the fate of Dashun Country, Prince Yu Duoduo, also made the Dashun Army unable to gain any advantage. Now I heard that this old rival was very happy to lose his armor and defeat the Ming army. Even Li Guo and Gao Yigong, who did not participate in the Battle of Tongtou, thought this was rare good news, and the Ming Dynasty court with brilliant achievements seemed to be more trustworthy and promising than the Longwu Dynasty.
But Li Guo still insisted on his own opinion: "The Ming Dynasty court helped us avenge a great revenge, but since they were all the Ming Dynasty's flag and were the little sincerity of Bo Bingzheng, then they were not with us!"
Tian Jianxiu smiled: "I have the same worries as General Li Guo. Until we really started contacting Zhejiang, we realized that Zhejiang also wanted to contact us, and I also met my own people!"
Although Gao Yigong knew some inside information in advance, Tian Jianxiu's words "his own people" made him puzzled: "Where did you come from your own people? That was the court of the Ming Dynasty!"
Tian Jianxiu immediately said with great pride: "I received a letter from Xing's family and Cheng Liangye sent by her. They are all my own people, and the queen of the regent and King Liu Yongxi of Yue asked her to take charge of the recruitment affairs."
Although Tian Jianxiu mentioned the names "Xing Family" and "Cheng Liangye", most of the Dashun Army generals present had some impression of these two names, but they couldn't remember what their origins were. Only Gao Yigong reacted: "Xing Family? The Xing Family who walked away with Gao Jie? Isn't she the wife of Xingpingbo now? By the way, I just heard that Gao Jie had died in Suizhou the last time!"
When it comes to Gao Jie and Xing, everyone finally remembered that many older Dashun Army generals not only met Xing but also received supplies from her. However, no one at that time expected that Xing would join the official army with Gao Jie and become the real enemy of the Dashun Army.
Over the years, the Dashun Army suffered a lot at Gao Jie's hands, but it also hit Gao Jie's army several times. The two sides originally had grudges that could not be resolved, so everyone once thought that after Li Zicheng won the world, Gao Jie and Xing's adulterer were destined to be dead.
However, after the Qing army entered the pass, the situation in the world changed completely. Li Zicheng and Gao Jie were already full of bones. The generals of the Dashun Army who were present were relieved when they heard that the Ming Dynasty of Yue was presided over by Xing.
No matter what, Mrs. Xing was once a person, and there was a passionate relationship. Even Li Guo asked in surprise: "Why would the Ming Dynasty be Xing's family come to preside over the negotiations? This kind of thing has always been the responsibility of men!"
He wanted to say "This is a woman", but considering that Empress Dowager Gao could only use a more tactful statement, and Mianhou Yuan Zongdi immediately mentioned a more detailed situation: "You may not know that Xing is now the wife of the King of Yue, and is particularly favored in front of the King of Yue. Moreover, as long as the generals under Gao Jie voted for the Ming Dynasty, they all rose to prominence. Xing Shengping is already the uncle of Tianmen!"
When it comes to Xing Shengping, everyone feels more and more friendly, but some people ask: "Isn't it Duke Yue? And Duke Yue Liu Yongxi seems to be only twenty years old this year?"
Even if they had never seen Mrs. Xing with their own eyes, they knew that Mrs. Xing was older than Liu Yongxi, but Yuan Zongdi immediately spread the specific situation with them: "Mrs. Xing is only 30 years old this year, which is the most beautiful and charming time. Since she could only favor the Emperor and the Fenshan Yao, she can still favor the Duke of Yue!"
When we talk about gossip, we naturally feel happier when talking about gossip. Although Gao Jie's old subordinates were officials from the Ming Dynasty, they were all recruiting thieves. Since the Yueming court could reuse Gao Jie's old generals and even named Xing Shengping as the Tianmen Bo, they could naturally tolerate the remnants of Dashun Army. Some people have already understood: "I'm wondering why the Yue Ming army suddenly became so powerful, and even beat Duoduo to the point of throwing his armor. It turned out that it was because of the reason why Gao Jie's remaining subordinates were accepted. This is a good thing, a great thing!"
Only Li Guo and a very small number of people were not very happy, but they also felt that if they had to choose between the Yueming court and the Longwu court, they would definitely choose the Yueming court, which was more sincere and had a more cooperative foundation, as their cooperation object.
But Li Guo still expressed his worries: "Mrs. Xing is half of her own person, and it is a good thing that she will preside over the negotiations. However, our Dashun Kingdom and Ming Kingdom ultimately have a grudge against destroying the country. Moreover, Yueming has no foundation in Huguang. We may suffer if we take the banner of Zhejiang!"
These are all issues that everyone is worried about. Tian Jianxiu, who has always been known for his generousness, stood up to speak for Zhejiang: "Our two families do have a grudge to destroy the country, but because Yueming has no foundation in Huguang, our two families have a foundation for cooperation. Don't worry about being excluded and used in one move. Moreover, Zhejiang is the queen of the country, the princess of the country and the king of Yue Liu Yongxi, and the two women and a young man, are not considered orthodox of the Ming Dynasty at all, but because it is not the orthodox of the Ming Dynasty, it will be pleasant to cooperate!"
Yuan Zongdi added: "I have also contacted Mrs. Xing. They made it clear that Yueming has no foundation in Huguang now, so they can only help us solve part of the military pay and allow us to take the Yueming banner!"
Someone immediately asked: "Xing Shengping has already been granted the title and position of Tianmen. What should we do if we have the title and position in Dashun Country?"
This is the most concerned issue for everyone, and it is a very sensitive issue.
After a series of failures and reorganizations, the strength of these generals of Dashun Kingdom has been far from their titles and positions.
For example, Tian Jianxiu was a general in the Dashun Dynasty and had a status of equal to Liu Zongmin. However, he now only had seven thousand soldiers under his command, and his strength was only an ordinary general. Yuan Zongdi, the general of the Right Camp, was only under 3,000 soldiers. His old subordinate Liu Tichun had 30,000 people, and Liu Tichun's younger brother Liu Titong also had 20,000 soldiers.
Hao Yaoqi and the reason why Wang Jincai stayed in Gan, Hunan was used by Tengjiao because they had a low status in the Dashun army, but they took advantage of the opportunity of the chaos of defeat and control an army. Hao Yaoqi had 40,000 people, and Wang Jincai even claimed to have 76,000 soldiers from his subordinates, so naturally they had conflicts with these veterans who were granted marquis and bons.
Now these veterans who were conferred marquis and princes hope to maintain their original position, while rising stars who have more strength hope to use this opportunity to consolidate their position.
The reason why Tian Jianxiu was so enthusiastic about this matter was naturally that Mrs. Xing had reached a useful consensus: "Mrs. Xing was very sincere in this matter. She said that the Ming Dynasty of Yue had not yet recovered Nandu, and there was no major event for the time being that Bo was granted the title of Marquis, but the Huguang Yi Army could form its own army first, and she also made the most sincere suggestion on behalf of the King of Yue!"
Only a very few people know about this "most sincere suggestion", so many people were so nervous that they held their breath, and some people asked with great concern: "What suggestions did Zhejiang make?"
Li Guo also frowned: "Is this the suggestion of King Yue or the suggestion of Xing?"
Tian Jianxiu said openly: "Although it was Mrs. Xing's suggestion, it must have been tacitly approved by the King of Yue. Li Guo, have you always wanted to ask the Queen Mother to come out to govern the country? Mrs. Xing also felt that our 200,000 to 300,000 Dashun Army must have someone to lead the leadership. Huguang and Henan and Shaanxi will be governed by the Queen Mother to govern the military affairs!"
Empress Dowager Gao lowered her head and dared not see anyone when she heard this, but Li Guo felt that this matter was not that simple: "General Quan, if you make the words clear, I don't believe that Xing would be so kind and would hand over such an important name to our Dashun Army!"
In a certain form, this is the banner of the Dashun Dynasty that continues in another form, and the generals of the Dashun Army present also felt a little incredible. Yuan Zongdi said with a smile: "Mrs. Xing means that she and Empress Dowager Gao are good sisters. Although there are some twists and turns in the middle, they can still end up together!"
Yuan Zongdi said something a bit connotation, but many people already understand what he meant.
Although Empress Dowager Gao kept lowering her head and didn't say anything, she had to stand up and say, "Sister Xing means that since she can achieve good things with King Yue, I can do the same. As long as I become Mrs. King Yue and become a family, all problems are not a problem!"
After saying this, Empress Dowager Gao felt that all her strength had been taken away. Although she was extremely shy, she was extremely beautiful.
