    (ps: I wish all my friends a happy Mid-Autumn Festival in advance, and ask for a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket by the way.)

    The old traitor Wu made such a big move in Yunnan, of course it is impossible for Xiao Mazi and Aobai to be unaware of the capital thousands of miles away¡ªat least the court eyeliner headed by Gan Wenkun and Lu Fatty reported to them every three days,  A report on the cruelty and greed of the old man Wu, breaking the law and discipline, committing crimes, embezzlement and bribery, bullying men and women, exploiting the common people, poisoning living beings, supporting soldiers to self-respect, raising thieves for self-enrichment, smuggling and prohibition, deceiving the king, conspiring to usurp, etc.  A heinous and bloody crime.

    By the way, compared with the detailed reports and clear descriptions, Fatty Lu, the magistrate of Qujing County in the Qing Dynasty, is definitely the most outstanding among these people.  Reports such as "Pingxi Wangfu Insider Revealed", "Yungui Bloody Record", "Wu Sangui's Ambition", "Black Moon. Wuhua Mountain", "The Beast Training Center-Records of the Pingxi Wangfu Recruit Camp" and so on.  The documentary literature of conscience, with pictures and texts, tearfully accused Wu Sangui and his lackeys of numerous crimes, and also won the unanimous praise of the rulers of the Qing Dynasty.

    In fact, for Xiao Mazi and other Qing rulers, it doesn't matter whether Wu Sangui is corrupt, lustful, greedy, and fishy.  rest assured!  For Xiao Mazi and other Qing rulers, what really matters is whether Wu Sangui has the ambition to rebel and whether he has the power to threaten Xiao Mazi's dominance.  In this way, Wu Sangui's crazy expansion of armaments in Yunnan and Guizhou in the ninth year of Kang Mazi, of course, made the ruler of Xiaomazi Qing Dynasty sleepless, like a thorn in his throat.

    Of course, Xiao Mazi's military accomplishments are not as profound as the mite survivors advocate¡ªotherwise, he would not have used all the power of the whole country to conquer Galdan himself three times, and finally let him die comfortably in the belly of a woman immediately  on.  But Xiao Mazi is definitely not ignorant of military affairs. At least Xiao Mazi knows very well that wars are fought with human, material and financial resources. Xiao Mazi's ancestors were able to overthrow the Ming Dynasty because of shit luck.  Disasters led to refugee uprisings, and the collapse of the Ming Dynasty from within allowed Xiao Mazi's ancestors to take advantage of the sky, but it is not the case now.

    Since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the natural disasters on the land of the Central Plains have been significantly reduced, people's hearts have gradually stabilized, the population and the economy have recovered rapidly, and the ruling foundation of the Qing Dynasty has become increasingly consolidated, presenting a scene of prosperity, which is far from comparable to the Ming Dynasty regime during the Chongzhen period.  However, Yunnan and Guizhou under Wu Sangui's semi-control are not only sparsely populated, but also known as poor provinces from ancient times to the present. Food and military pay have never been self-sufficient for a year.  The strength is still far from being able to compare with the Central Plains controlled by the Qing rulers.

    Fortunately, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces have never been major horse-producing provinces, and neighboring Sichuan and Tibet cannot produce many war horses. At the same time, the surrounding areas of Yunnan and Guizhou are not suitable for cavalry raids and wars.  , using the cavalry advantage to gradually weaken Mi Qing's strength, so Xiao Mazi has full confidence that no matter how crazy Wu Sangui develops his armaments, he will not be able to threaten his dominance by force.  Even if he used human life, money, food and materials, he could still kill Wu Sangui¡ª¡ªthe facts proved that it was true.

    The only thing that worries Xiao Mazi is the issue of firearms, because Xiao Mazi himself is a Western science and technology enthusiast. He has been exposed to countless Western firearms that ordinary people cannot touch.  So there are these dangerous gunpowder weapons.  Xiao Mazi was even worried that if these gunpowder weapons were allowed to continue to develop, they might even completely reverse the Eight Banners¡¯ superiority in bows, arrows and horses, and even reverse the strategic balance of comprehensive strength.  root cause.

    Because of this, when it was learned that Wu Sangui was crazy about expanding his armaments and setting up multiple firearms factory battalions to desperately produce and research gunpowder weapons¡ªthis can be seen from Wu Sangui¡¯s crazy purchase of saltpeter and sulfur.  He turned pale with shock, but he was also worried about it, having trouble sleeping and eating, and was extremely concerned about the development of Wu Sangui's army's firearms.  What makes Xiao Mazi angry is that even though he has sent countless eyeliners to his side, and even bought Lin Tianqing, the old man from Pingxi Palace, Yunnan governor Lin Tianqing, Wu Sangui's army still doesn't know anything about the development of firearms.  Xiao Mazi didn't even know whether Wu Sangui's army had cast the Hongyi cannon commonly used by the Qing army, which caused Xiao Mazi to repeatedly scold his confidant Gan Wenkun, who he single-handedly promoted, and Gan Wenkun went to letter to Lu in three days and two days.  Fatty urged, and was very dissatisfied with Fatty Lu's behavior of occupying the latrine and not excreting.

    Kung Fu pays off, just when Xiao Mazi was almost desperate, on September 12th in the ninth year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty, Xiao Mazi"It was difficult in the past, but now we have a chance." Xiong Cilu's voice became colder and colder, "Si Gege, do you still remember that Lu Yifeng's post of Qujing county magistrate will be held for three years in two or three months?"  It¡¯s full, if we can transfer Lu Yifeng out of Yungui and force him to stay away from Wu Sangui, wouldn¡¯t everything come to light?¡±

    "Will the emperor agree?" Kong Sizhen said worriedly: "The emperor gave the Qujing green camp to Fatty Lu's cousin, which is equivalent to entrusting the throat of Yunnan and Guizhou to Fatty Lu. In this case, the emperor will agree to transfer Lu Yifeng.  Izumo Gui, let the previous arrangements go to waste?"

    "The emperor probably won't agree." Xiong Cilu said with a sinister smile: "But I believe that the emperor will not mind testing Lu Yifeng's loyalty again to see if Lu Yifeng is worthy of further entrustment? And those red stars cast by Wu Sangui?"  Does Yi Cannon have anything to do with it?"

    Kong Sizhen's eyes lit up, and after thinking for a while, Kong Sizhen suddenly cast a glance at Xiong Cilu, stretched out his hand to pinch Xiong Cilu's handsome face, and said with a coquettish smile, "You, bad, really bad."

    (Note: Wu Sangui's method of making arrows and inspecting armor is recorded in "Ping Wu Lu". This historical material also records that after Xiao Mazi knew that Wu Sangui's weapons were so excellent, he was also uneasy, and deliberately sent his confidant Wu Dan to Kunming to reward bows and arrows.  To spy on the real combat power of Wu Sangui's army, Wu Sangui adopted Hu Guozhu's strategy, deliberately selected old and weak soldiers to form an army, let Wu Dan inspect the military parade at will, and successfully deceived Xiao Mazi-Xiao Mazi's strategy is definitely not as powerful as the mites boasted, Wu Sangui  It¡¯s not as stupid as mite legacy belittles.)
