    When Hong Chengchou asked Shunzhi to mobilize elite Han soldiers from all over the world to conquer the southwest, he analyzed Shunzhi's pros and cons in detail. Of course, many of the elite soldiers selected by Hong Chengchou were loyal people like Zhang Yong and Zhao Liangdong.  There are also many who are thorns in the provinces and evil eagles who cannot be fed enough.  .In Hong Chengchou's plan, these people would not come back after following Wu Sangui into the southwest. It would be best if they could fight and die together with Li Dingguo.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbmbmb  However, Wu Sangui refused to be fooled and insisted on completely eliminating Li Dingguo without leaving any further trouble. Obviously, he did not intend to fall into Hong Chengchou's plan of losing both sides.

    ??According to Hong Chengchou's backup plan, it is to trap these people in Yunnan and not let them back. It will take decades to wait until they all die of old age together with Wu Sangui to avoid future troubles.  At that time, when Hong Chengchou and Shunzhi were playing against each other, Sony and Obai were both nearby, and they all agreed very much with this plan.  Unfortunately, the success fell short. Suddenly, Deng's name popped up and Hong Chengchou was burned to death. Wu Sangui also returned to Guizhou.

    At that time, Obai was still hoping that bad things would turn into good things and let Wu Sangui continue to fight for Li Dingguo, but Wu Sangui refused to throw all his money in for the sake of the Qing Dynasty.  Although Wu Sangui was vigorous and resolute in dealing with chieftains such as Shuixi, every time he heard that the Qing court asked him to attack Li Dingguo, he would shout that there was insufficient grain. Now not only did Li Dingguo not cut it off, but Wu Sangui was also fattened.  Using the past few years, Wu Sangui cleared away all the sand that Hong Chengchou had stuffed in his army, and the Eight Banners of Manchuria who supervised him were well fed. The 100,000-strong army basically became his party members.

    When he was in Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui's dazzling skills left a deep impression on Dorgon. Therefore, since entering Shanhaiguan, the Qing government has been placing Wu Sangui in areas where food cannot be self-sufficient.  Military expenditures and food and grass have always been a powerful rope used by the Qing court to tie Wu Sangui's neck. Coupled with the military deterrence of the Manchurian soldiers, this guy never dared to act rashly.

    Now because of Deng Ming, the deterrent effect of the Manchurian soldiers has been seriously weakened. If Wu Sangui's report and analysis are true, it means that even guys like Zhang Changgeng have the idea of ??"a tripod is like a question" because they own two provinces.  ; So, if Wu Sangui Group is put into Huguang and allowed to be self-sufficient in food and grass, what will be the consequences?  King Pingxi had an army of 100,000, almost all of which were elite soldiers in the Han army. Compared with Zhang Changgeng who was alone and alone, Wu Sangui was definitely a much more terrifying scourge.  Wu Sangui must not be allowed to get Hunan's rice. This is the consensus of the auxiliary ministers in Yanjing.

    "How should we reply to King Pingxi?" Obai asked after hearing Sony mention Obai's name.

    This matter made the assistant ministers feel very troublesome.

    Fortunately, the Ming court did not trust Wu Sangui either. Wu Sangui reported that the Ming court was trying to instigate him to attack Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian.  Sony found this report to be very credible, and the Ming court's thinking was clear. Obviously, like the Qing court, it was extremely wary of Wu Sangui, so it expected him to fight the Dongjiang clan's vassal soldiers.  However, Sony was certain that Ming Ting's wishful thinking would not succeed, just as the Qing Ting could not persuade Wu Sangui to go shopping for Li Dingguo.

    But since Wu Sangui has spoken and said that he will still stand firmly on the side of the Qing court, he must be rewarded for his loyalty.  Just like the fire in Kunming, anyone can be punished, but King Pingxi, who has an army of 100,000, cannot be punished; anyone who shows loyalty can be refused reward, but King Pingxi, who has an army of 100,000, cannot but reward him, and Huguang cannot be rewarded to him.  , then we can only ask Huguang to allocate more food and grass to him.

    "Write a letter to Zhang Changgeng, inform him privately, and let him know that King Pingxi has impeached him on suspicion of collaborating with the enemy. The imperial court knows that Wuchang is a frontline and military expenditures are tight, but it is not possible for someone like Zhang Changgeng to completely ignore the needs of friendly troops. The imperial court knows that Wuchang is a front line and military expenditures are tight.  What it means is that Zhang Changgeng must increase the food and grass for King Pingxi. This is also an opportunity for him to prove that he is innocent and has not collaborated with the enemy." Sony's solution was not only a beating and threat to Zhang Changgeng, but also a comfort to Wu Sangui, and at the same time, it was also a solution to Zhang Changgeng.  Chang Geng's reminder - remind him not to be attacked by Wu Sangui. Then the Qing government will have a headache not only from Deng Ming in Sichuan, but also to worry that Wu Sangui will follow Deng Ming in the name of aiding the two rivers.  Running back and forth to Nanjing.

    "Send another letter to Zheng Jing." As the military deterrence continues to decline, Sony feels that the national affairs are getting more and more difficult. Every decision needs to be carefully considered. While attacking the enemy, one must take one step at a time and be careful about the younger brother.  Taking the opportunity to strengthen himself: "Let's just say that after careful consideration, the imperial court felt that Taiwan has not been the territory of the Celestial Empire since ancient times. They, father and son, can expand the territory by themselves. They can follow the example of North Korea and not shave their heads or change their clothes. Ask Zheng Jing if he is willing to negotiate peace with the imperial court."

    "If Zheng Jing is recruited, Fujian and Guangdong and Guangxi will be able to save a lot of power."The vassal soldiers from the Yangtze River Clan can also be transferred elsewhere. They can monitor Wu Sangui from behind, reinforce the Yangtze River Basin, and assist Hangzhou in suppressing the Jingnan rebellious gang in northern Zhejiang.

    ¡­¡­

    In a teahouse outside the Forbidden City, Zhang Mingcheng and his friends Huang Laopi and Fan Tong were drinking tea and discussing national affairs.  In the past, they had no status in Liaodong, but after Conglong entered the pass, their lives were getting better and better.  First, he managed a large area of ??land for his master, completely saying goodbye to heavy manual labor. Now, even the housekeeper's work is done by other bosses. These noble bosses live in beautiful houses and go to wine shops.  When we were in the teahouse, the waiters would all serve us "Master" one after another.

    "Yesterday we announced a great victory in Yuezhou. The Huguang Green Camp fought bloody battles and drove the Sichuan bandits back to Jiangling. They also killed a general of the Sichuan bandits. Hey, it's Zhao again."

    "Another surname is Zhao?" Huang Laopi narrowed his eyes: "Is it Zhao Haiba again?"

    "Of course not." Zhang Mingcheng shook his head. Zhao Haiba was killed twice in the Jiujiang Great Victory and the Huangzhou Great Victory. There were many similar jokes, which made these two great victories less credible.  However, the big leaders in Yanjing still prefer to believe that this is just a flaw in the victory, just an identification error that anyone can accidentally make: "It's Zhao Wulang, Zhao Luba."

    Since Zhao Tianba was "killed" by Prince Kang Jieshu in the Battle of Huai'an, his family has suffered a lot.  Shortly after the imperial court commended Jieshu Formation for killing the leader of the bandits, Liang Huafeng claimed that he pursued the Ming army as they exited the canal and killed Zhao Tianba's second brother, Zhao Diba. After reporting on the great victory again and again, Jiangnan this time  The names of the slain enemy generals finally appeared on the memorial.  Since the imperial court did not pursue Jieshu's deception, it means that the false report about Zhao Tianba was within the tolerance of the minister of auxiliary affairs.

    No one dared to take the credit for Prince Kang's achievements. If someone else killed Zhao Tianba again, it would be equivalent to pointing a finger at Jieshu's nose and scolding him for lying; but Liang Huafeng did not have such a big reputation. Zhao Guozuo's memorial to the court was  Zhao Diba was also shot to death, saying that this man was not killed in Yangzhou at all, but took his followers to Hangzhou Bay to try to rob him, and was killed by the heroic Eight Banners General Songquege who was stationed in Hangzhou.  The main reason why he had to use this name was because Liang Huafeng not only refused to save Liang Huafeng during the crisis initiated by the banker, but was also suspected of adding insult to injury. Zhao Guozuo would definitely not let go of such an opportunity to disgust the Jiangnan admiral.

    The second son of the Zhao family died in Yangzhou, and then the third brother Zhao Shanba died unexpectedly in Chizhou.  However, this achievement announced by Jiang Guozhu was questioned by Zhang Chao. Zhang Chao took Dong Weiguo's victory report and said that Zhao Shanba, the third son of the Zhao family, and Zhao Haiba, the fourth son of the Zhao family, were both executed in Jiujiang.

    Just as Jiangxi and Jiangnan were vying for credit, Huguang also sternly pointed out that the real hero who helped the imperial court eliminate Zhao Haiba was the prefect of Huangzhou in Huguang.  Soon after Zhao Haiba died in Huangquan, Zhao Liulang was also consecrated in Wuchang.

    "What is the name of Liulang Zhao?" Fan Tong interrupted and asked.

    "Street Fighter." Zhang Mingcheng and Huang Laopi replied in unison.

    "Oh, yes, yes." Fan Tong nodded repeatedly.  Since the place of death of Zhao Luba and Zhao Jieba is not controversial, their reputation is far less famous than that of their second, third and fourth brothers.  The lawsuit spread throughout the country.

    "The eldest brother of the Zhao family," after answering Fan Tong's question, Huang Laopi hesitated for a while: "What is your name?"

    Zhang Mingcheng, who had just answered Fan Tong's questions fluently with Huang Laopi, also recalled it for a while and asked uncertainly: "Is it called 'Tianba'?"

    Prince Kang¡¯s memorial was very low-key and not widely publicized, so Zhao Tianba¡¯s reputation was far from comparable to that of his five virtual brothers.

    "It seems so," Huang Laopi frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded: "It should be so. Behind it are the land, mountains, seas, roads, and streets. Then Dalang should be the sky. Well, it's Zhao Tianba, that's right.  , with so many famous brothers, it¡¯s hard for him not to be famous.¡±

    The people of Yanjing have no way of knowing how much the Ming army in Western Sichuan paid on their way back from Huai'an to Jiangling, but they were all deeply impressed by the six brothers of the Zhao family. Except for the eldest brother, whose life and death are unknown, the other five brothers must have died unexpectedly.  They couldn't help but sympathize with these six brothers.

    "I heard that the father of the Zhao brothers was a Western thief." Zhang Mingcheng told a piece of news he had just heard.

    "He is indeed a Western thief!"

    "It turns out to be a Western thief."

    Huang Laopi and Fan Tong had completely different reactions.

    "Six tyrants of the Zhao family, why is it so strange that someone who can give his child such a name is a Western thief?" Huang Laopi asked his friend strangely.

      "It's because of the Six Hegemons of the Zhao family that I'm weird," Fan Tong said with a look of surprise on his face, clasping his fingers: "Dominating the sky, dominating the land, dominating the mountains and dominating the sea, and then dominating the roads and streets  The names of the six sons were so domineering, I thought he must be a lay disciple of the Shaolin Temple and a powerful hero in the world! I didn't expect that he was actually a Western thief."
