Finally, thank you for your understanding and support.) After the messenger returned to Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui and Fang Guangchen couldn't wait to reply.  Watch.  The emperor of the Qing Dynasty wanted to destroy the traitors in the letter, and he also greatly admired Wu Sangui, praising him as a loyal minister and a righteous man. However, he did not specify whether he wanted to borrow troops, but he was eager to win over him.  While Wu Sangui was a little disappointed, he was also vaguely proud. It was the feeling of being valued and affirmed by others.  There is also the peace of mind of being respected by others and having a way out.  Dorgon said that if Wu Sangui led his troops to return, he would be granted the title of vassal king in his hometown, just like what happened in the Liao Dynasty on the Nanjing Road. To be honest, Wu Sangui would not be moved.  This sentence guaranteed the interests of his entire Liaodong Group and Wu Sangui.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:  He particularly focused on the sentence "Although I was an enemy of Liaodong when I was guarding Liaodong, don't doubt me again because of the past. In the past, Guan Zhong shot Huan Gong and was hooked, and later Huan Gong served as Zhong's father to achieve hegemony." The comparison is surprising.  Dashun was disappointed, and Can Ming had an uncertain future. This Northern Emperor was more ambitious and ambitious. If he relied on him in the future But after thinking about it, he thought it would be better to take advantage of the Ping Kou and regain Shenjing first.  After all, no matter how sincere Dorgon was and how high his ambition was, the Qing Dynasty was only a corner of the eastern border, a small country with the largest territory of the Liao Dynasty.  If there was a prospect for Daikin, Wu Sangui would not be so hesitant.  So after discussing with Fang Guangchen, he wrote back: "I received a letter to inform you that the Qing army has arrived in the mountains and seas of Ningyuan, with the intention of saving the people and fighting violence, helping the weak and eliminating the strong, and the sound of righteousness shook the world. The person who helped me was actually my late emperor.  But Sangui's feelings are still small. Now Sangui has learned about the elite and used the camera to suppress the thieves, and begged the emperor to quickly organize the tiger brigade to go straight to the mountains and seas, and the rebels can be captured.  The message was the most stern, and he also prayed that the army would not commit any crimes in the autumn. Then the people would be convinced and the wealth and land would be gained, so nothing could be wrong. " Dorgon replied: "I am willing to avenge my late lord, and the great righteousness of the late emperor is commendable.  There is no need to say anything today, and I cannot bear to say it. But once we were an enemy country, we are now a family. If our soldiers touch a piece of grass or a grain of grass, they will be punished by military law. You and other residents should not panic."  He also persuaded him to surrender: "Now Ming Zuo is declining, and I have already understood it. I have never had any enmity with you, and my relatives are also with me. The scale and situation of our Qing Dynasty will definitely become a big event in the future, but I can only judge the situation at the right time."  , It was a plan long ago." Reading Dorgon's reply, Wu Sangui's heart dropped again. What he was most worried about was that if the borrowed Qing soldiers burned, killed and looted like thieves, it would be a big deal.  .  The emperor of the Northern Dynasty tried to maintain military discipline by him, which was indeed not comparable to that of a bandit.  Wu Sangui was still hesitant about surrendering to the Qing Dynasty. He still wanted to borrow troops, but on the seventh day of the lunar month, for some reason Wu Sangui's secret was leaked.  Not only the earlier discussion between him and various officials and generals about borrowing prisoners to suppress the bandits, but even his secret contacts with the Qing Dynasty later were leaked.  For a time, Shanhaiguan was in an uproar, people were furious, ladies and gentlemen were quarreling, and farmers and merchants were shocked.  Moreover, someone secretly reported to Wu Sangui that Liu Zhaoji and others were extremely dissatisfied with Wu Sangui's use of the pirates as captives, and intended to seize their soldiers and horses, defend the door to the death, and intervene to welcome the kings to fight, etc.  Wu Sangui was half-believed and half-suspicious. It was difficult to prove such things, but he still believed it in most of his heart.  On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, when he was discussing with everyone, Fan Zhiwan and Li Yutian were cold-mouthed, and Liu Zhaoji even yelled at him, which made him lose face.  They really don¡¯t agree with what they say. In order to prevent Qing soldiers from entering the pass, and even get credit for guarding the pass, it¡¯s not that they can¡¯t do these things.  ¡°Moreover, the informants to him were several well-known gentry in Shanhaiguan. They were highly respected and had always been close to Liu Zhaoji, Fan Zhiwan and others. What they said was even more reliable.  Wu Sangui felt a haze in his heart. He did not expect that things would turn out like this. At this time, he was riding a tiger and could not get off, so he had to go to the end on the road of borrowing prisoners and defeating the invaders.  He decided to make one last effort and persuade Dongping Bo, Governor Jiliao, Governor Guanmen and others to invite them to work together for a great cause.  There is also Tang Tong, a rat who originally promised to advance and retreat with him. Recently, he has been wavering for some unknown reason. He must be firm in his heart.  At the same time, he was also secretly on guard. He calculated Liu Zhaoji's military strength, which included more than 3,000 barracks and hundreds of servants.  When he was the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, he limited his troops to more than 10,000 troops, but it was just a moderation. According to the military system of the Ming Dynasty, when Liu Zhaoji took office in Shanhaiguan, he only took the main camp troops with him, and the rest remained where they were.  Not to mention Fan Zhiwan and Li Yutian, their supervisory camp, FuThe camp has one or two thousand soldiers and one or two hundred servants, which are more symbolic of strength and have little combat effectiveness.  He thought about himself again, and found that there were 2,000 elite servants in Shanhaiguan, and more than 1,000 selected Wuzu family elite cavalry. In terms of elite combat power, they ranked first in Shanhaiguan.  He was also overly thoughtful and only invited Liu Zhaoji, Fan Zhiwan and others to discuss matters in his house. Necessary precautions were also indispensable.  After receiving the secret report, Wu Sangui became suspicious and no longer dared to be alone with Liu Zhaoji and others, let alone go to their mansions and other places.  ¡­ At noon on the eighth day of the lunar month, Liu Zhaoji, Fan Zhiwan, Li Yutian, Tang Tong and others were invited to a banquet in Wu Sangui¡¯s mansion, and Liu Zhaoji and others went happily.  In fact, the disputes in the past few days have also made Liu Zhaoji and others quite upset. Although some people have urgently reminded Liu Zhaoji that there are slave thieves who have been making trouble recently. Wu Sangui's mind is unpredictable now, so it is best not to go to an unsafe place.  The best strategy is to capture Wu Sangui quickly.  But Liu Zhaoji disagreed, thinking that Wu Sangui was not that crazy. He was straightforward and would say whatever he said. Wu Sangui had been in Liaodong for a long time, so he would not be unaware of his temper.  And this kind of controversy is not unheard of. When the capital fell and Dashun sent Tang Tong to surrender, he had disputes with Wu Sangui and others.  In the end, Wu Sangui, Fan Zhiwan and others convinced themselves and decided that all the Shanhaiguan officials would join Dashun.  There was a quarrel before, but everyone was still in harmony afterwards.  Now it¡¯s time to convince Wu Sangui.  Fan Zhiwan and Li Yutian didn't think too much about it. Wu Sangui had always had a good reputation in Liaodong and was courteous to others. Fan and Li had been in Liaodong for a long time, and they always got along with each other like a spring breeze.  The relationship between the two parties has become somewhat tense in the past few days, which Fan and Li did not want to see. They just took the opportunity to improve the relationship and use gentle words to persuade each other to eliminate misunderstandings.  As for Tang Tong, he originally agreed to Wu Sangui, but in the past two days, people in Guancheng were in a state of turmoil, and considering that the prospect of borrowing the pirates as prisoners was unclear, it might be safer to just stick to the wall and wait for the imperial troops to arrive, so  He hesitated.  Everyone went to Wu Sangui's place with various thoughts.  Of course, although they disagreed, Liu Zhaoji and others were not unscrupulous. For example, although Liu Zhaoji went to Wu Sangui's house for a banquet, he still brought his most elite personal guards, about twenty people.  Fan Zhiwan and others are surrounded by servants.  When everyone arrived at Wu Sangui's residence, they saw Wu Sangui and Fang Guangchen personally welcoming them out of the gate. They were smiling and polite as before, and they were as courteous and sincere as ever, which made Liu Zhaoji and others even more relieved.  After entering the mansion, Wu Sangui held a banquet in the lobby, where several senior officials sat and drank, and several tables were set up under the hall to entertain Liu Zhaoji and other accompanying servants.  At first, these personal guards were worried, but when they saw the atmosphere in the hall became harmonious and bursts of laughter broke out from time to time, their worries were relieved.  Some people are even laughing at themselves, saying that they are making a fuss out of a molehill and many rumors are untrustworthy, and it is true.  After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everything was so peaceful. There were still bursts of laughter in the hall. The guards in the hall were completely relieved. Under the persuasion of the Wu family, they all ate haphazardly.  Drink up.  Just when everyone was drunk, there seemed to be some quarrels in the hall. A guard of Liu Zhaoji who was accompanying him in the hall was still a little wary. He didn't eat or drink much. When he heard the quarrels in the hall, he listened carefully, but it seemed that  It was his own marshal and Ping Xibo who were arguing.  "Brother Wu, are you still thinking about borrowing prisoners? Those beastly Tatars are really letting them in, and the people don't know how they will suffer. How can you bear it?" It seems that Wu Sangui said something, Liu Zhaoji  He shouted: "The slave chief said he would strictly enforce military discipline? Those Tatars are the most cunning. Their words can be trusted, sows can climb trees. When they enter the pass, they will not be allowed to be flattened and rounded. If they regret their words, they will be killed again."  "What do you think?" It seems that Wu Sangui said something again, Liu Zhaoji shouted: "The great cause? Recovering Shenjing? We will guard the border and prevent the Tatars from entering. This is the great cause" He patted the table and the dishes in the hall.  There was a banging sound, and then his angry roaring voice: "You know that Tang Suzong borrowed Huihe's power to take back the two capitals, but you don't know how miserable the people who fell into Hu Gou's hands were What a bullshit great achievement,  These are the blood and tears of our people in the Central Plains" Everyone in the hall looked in shock, many people even stood up, and then heard the panicked persuasive voices of Fan Zhiwan and others, and Liu Zhaoji was still roaring  Roaring: "I will never agree with this kind of great cause. I also advise you, brother Wu. The general who conquers the captives hates the Tartars the most. If you do this, even if you regain Shenjing, do you think Marquis Yongning will let you go?" It seems that Wu Sangui  There was silence, and then there was an unpleasant scene in the hall.There was a moment of silence, and Liu Zhaoji's bodyguard who was accompanying him felt terrified. He was about to get up and move, but heard that his commander seemed to calm down, and then he said sincerely: "Brother Wu, I'm waiting for Naihan  "Suddenly, there was a ping-pong noise in the hall, as if tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks fell to the ground, and then there was the extremely horrified scream of Fan Zhiwan, the governor of Jiliao: "ahahyou killed Liu Shuai?  You are simply crazy" The bodyguard of Liu Zhaoji who was accompanying him was trembling all over. He suddenly drew out his weapon and rushed into the hall.  The situation in front of him made his eyes split open. He saw his commander lying on the ground with a sharp sword stuck in his chest, and blood was slowly flowing out from under his chest.  He rushed forward, helped the commander Liu Zhaoji and cried, but saw that his eyes were wide open and he could no longer hear his voice.  There was anger and confusion in his eyes. As he looked, he seemed to be looking at thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. As he cried, he finally slowly closed his eyes, with a trace of peace in the corners of his eyes. It seemed that he had been fighting for a lifetime, then fell asleep, and his soul finally returned to him.  A place to go back to.  The guard howled loudly, and he cried to Wu Sangui: "What have you done, Wu Sangui, you beast, you killed my handsome man!" Wu Sangui's hands were full of blood, and there was no color on his face.  He seemed to be stumbling unsteadily, leaning weakly against the wall.  But the two civil officials, Governor Fan Zhiwan of Jiliao and Governor Li Yutian of Guanmen, just crawled on the ground and screamed.  Tang Tong's face was earth-colored, and he shivered in a corner.  And Fang Guangchen was stumbling and walking unsteadily. His face was ashen and he murmured: "Out of control, out of control" The discussion beforehand was, at most, just to put Liu Zhaoji and others under house arrest, not killing, but everything in front of him He was in pain  Hidden his face.  At this time, there were bursts of wailing, but Liu Zhaoji's personal guards in the hall rushed into the hall. Seeing that the commander was killed and died, they all burst into tears.  "I'll kill you!" At this moment, the guard from earlier shouted loudly. He held his weapon and rushed towards Wu Sangui.  Seeing that his long knife was about to hit Wu Sangui, a spear suddenly flew over. The guard spurted out blood, but was hit by the spear, then staggered back and fell to his knees.  His body was pierced by a spear, and while he was vomiting blood, he was still sobbing in pain: "Wu Sangui, what are you doing?" The servants who were ambushing behind the hall rushed out intensively, and slashed at the personal guards brought by Liu Zhaoji and others.  He killed Wu Sangui and others while rescuing them, and also brought Fan Zhiwan and others in.  When Wu Sangui arrived at the back of the hall, he staggered and was sweating profusely. Hearing the shouts of killing and faint wailing coming from the front hall, his face turned extremely pale.  Beside him were Fan Zhiwan, Fang Guangchen, Tang Tong and others who were trembling all over, as if their spines had been broken.  He didn¡¯t look at them, and hissed: ¡°Send the order, immediately take over the customs defense, and recruit all the troops in Guancheng¡± ¡­ In the afternoon, outside Shanhaiguan, Huanxi Ridge, Weiyuan Fort.  Suddenly, several cavalrymen coming from the direction of Ningyuan rushed up to Huanxi Ridge. Then Garbush Xiangara Angbang Wubai hurriedly entered the official hall of Weiyuan Fort and reported the news to the Qing Emperor Dorgon in the hall.  Dorgon stood up fiercely: "Is this really so?" Wu Bai said: "Exactly, when our Qing soldiers were about to conquer Yizhou, the soldiers and people in the city burned themselves, and no one surrendered to our Qing Dynasty." He said:  "Here are letters from Du Du and others who attacked Yizhou." Dorgon silently took the letters from Du Du, Luo Luohuan and others that he presented. He read them for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen, they are dead.  , refused to surrender to the Qing Dynasty?" He roared loudly: "Three hundred years later, why are there still so many loyal ministers and generals in the Southern Dynasty? How can Zhu Ming be worthy of their loyalty?" Everyone in the hall was silent. At this time, the university was silent.  After finishing the sermon, I came out with a forced smile and said: "There is a saying that those who understand the current affairs are heroes, and it is also said that good birds choose trees to roost" Dorgon shouted sharply: "Shut up!" He said sternly: "Every dynasty is the same.  If I have the courage to do so, how can I have so many loyal ministers and righteous men in the Qing Dynasty?" Ning Wan, I was as silent as a cicada and dared not say anything.  Dorgon had a fit and said dejectedly: "Collect their bones and build a temple to offer sacrifices to them." Beil Sahalian, who was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, responded quickly.  Dorgon sat dullly for a while, and finally asked Gao Hongzhong, the official in charge of the Ministry of Punishment in Manzi City: "Is there any news from Wu Sangui?" Gao Hongzhong hurriedly came out of the queue. He was about to say something when suddenly a Bushi soldier appeared.  Bring a spy in to report something.  Dorgon listened carefully, his expression was gloomy and uncertain. After a long time, he laughed dumbly and said: "This Wu Sangui, I really underestimated him."   At the beginning of the Yueshen period, Wu Sangui rushed out from Dongluo City with dozens of riders, followed by his friend Fang Guangchen, the son of Fang Yizao, the former Minister of Rites.  Wu Sangui's face was ashen. He led his cavalry straight to the Qing army camp in Weiyuan Fort. He knelt in front of Dorgon and asked him to lead his army into the pass immediately, and then marched directly to the capital.  Dorgon immediately sat down and gave him tea, and the first thing he did was to close the door. He said that he admired Wu Sangui very much, and he was willing to marry the late emperor's daughter Princess Jianning to his son Wu Yingxiong to strengthen their relationship, and immediately named him the  King Pingxi of the Qing Dynasty.  Wu Sangui listened silently and did not refuse.  Dorgon then promised to strictly enforce military discipline. He said: "I will make an oath to the generals and inform all the ministers and workers accompanying the expedition: The reason for this expedition is to eliminate violence and save the people and destroy the bandits in order to bring peace to the world. Now when we enter the Guanxi expedition, we must not kill innocent people."  , Do not loot property, do not burn houses, anyone who fails to comply will be punished." He also ordered to reward Wu Sangui with jade belts, python robes, mink fur, pommel horses, exquisite bags, bows and arrows, etc. Finally, he said: "I am determined to conquer the west!  Rogue bandits, but you and bandits are both Han people. How can we distinguish between them during the war? If they are afraid of manslaughter, let them defend themselves!" Wu Sangui was stunned, and finally said: "Yes." Soon, he and Fang Guangchen beside him.  Their heads were shaved, and the two of them were stunned as they touched the money rat tails on the back of their heads.  Dorgon then ordered to enter the pass. At this time, all the gates of Shanhaiguan were wide open. The Qing army entered the pass in three ways, one from the South Water Gate and the other from the North Water Gate. Dorgon personally led the army and entered Dongluo City from the Guanzhong Gate.  With Wu Sangui opening the door and bowing to the thieves, the fully armed and mighty Qing army easily entered Xiongguan and entered the land within the pass.  They are like a tidal wave, with no head in front and no tail behind (To be continued.)
