When the news reached the capital, Wu Yingxiong had already been escorted out of the capital and headed to Yiling, preparing to exchange heads and hostages with the Ming army.

"The false prince is really scheming and calculating." Obai and others only secretly admired this, and even regarded the false prince as a serious problem.

To be able to exploit the dead Wu Sangui to the extreme, forcing the imperial court to issue an edict to rebel, so that Wu's generals surrendered and Yunnan fell, is really powerful and understands people's hearts so well.

"This is an unsolvable strategy. In order to stabilize people's hearts, the court must do this. Otherwise, the false prince will use Wu Sangui's name to create greater chaos."

Obai threw the information aside and no longer cared about it.

Now that Wu Sangui is dead, Wu Yingxiong is even less valuable, let alone sending people to recover him.

During the San Francisco Rebellion, the reason why the Qing government wanted to kill Wu Yingxiong was to inflict a huge psychological blow on Wu Sangui and show an attitude of irreconcilability. In fact, the goal was indeed achieved.

The current situation is completely different, so naturally there is no reason to kill Wu Yingxiong.

Obai and Suksaha were the most troubled. They were completely troubled by nursery rhymes, or prophecies. They were thinking hard about whether they were true or false, and how they had incurred such a miserable end.

If it is false, the first sentence has been fulfilled.

Not in terms of military strength, Liu Xiang was not inferior to the attacking Qing army. He also knew where the Qing government got its confidence. Do you really think that the Four Banners soldiers could defeat fewer soldiers with more troops?

Of course, power is so fascinating, how can you give it up again when you get it? Forging ahead bravely and clipping your wings is what a hero does.

As a defense-in-depth system, Zhenyuan is only the first line of defense. Without trench fortifications, Liu Xiang no longer has to rely on the city. As long as the terrain is slightly unfavorable, weak defenses can be built.

The ancient city of Zhenyuan was built on Shiping Mountain and extends along the undulating terrain of the mountain.

Huang Li smiled and said: "It is precisely because there are so few recruits that we have to undergo severe tests. Without a city, relying on trenches to fight in the city will not only lead to failure in victory, but will also shake the foundation."

Unless I usurp the throne and become the emperor, I can find peace for my descendants. Otherwise, liquidation will come sooner or later. Shaoergun is not the worst example. In the end, Shunzhi, who pretended to be a grandson, dug up his grave and whipped his body.

Ruan Yuancheng smiled and nodded, feeling a little proud in his heart. He pointed with his hand and said: "Although they are exactly the same, they are also very different. The lower part of the city is lower than the upper part, and dozens of artillery are placed with a longer range."

Originally, his brother Ruan Yuancheng was the worst candidate, and he planned to strike while the iron was cold before returning to the army in triumph. But things were unpredictable, and Ruan Yuancheng died in his hometown.

Oboi clenched his jaw and looked at Bamboulshan, waiting for me to continue.

Ta's new strategy, Di Qilong, Qi Basheng followed the Eighth Battalion soldiers and their families before heading to Jianchang, and entered Sichuan from here for reinforcements. Liu Xiang from the east of Sichuan also pushed back south, and worked together to open up the Yunnan-Sichuan channel.

This does not mean that Oboi will be killed by the emperor. Death in prison is still death. How is it different from beheading? He may even suffer more torture.

That's just my nature. I tend to think too far ahead. Kang Daba is a big kid, and I'm not that young at all. It's going to kill me.

Huang Li smiled and stood under the city wall, observing the defense system. He nodded repeatedly and praised: "My uncle arranged it like a copper wall and an iron wall. He defeated the Four Banners soldiers in Maolu Mountain. Is it a similar defensive position?"

"According to the defense map drawn in the palace, the trenches and parapet fortifications in the city, using trebuchets, muskets, blunderbuss, crossbows, and no pikemen, swordsmen, and shieldmen are enough to resist the enemy..."

Because of my ambition and my resentment towards the imperial court for neglecting me, the party attached itself to Obei and wanted to be promoted step by step. But I don’t have royal blood, so I am still Shunzhi’s cousin and Kangxi’s cousin.

Marsai was far behind in terms of qualifications, but Obai was ready to fight hard. He also made a bad excuse, and Quan should be subsidizing Wu Sangui.

After a pause, I frowned again and said, "The songs circulating in it are worrying."

Before he realized the royal family's suspicion of him, Obai thought of giving in and weakening his own power so that the royal family dared to touch him.

In a war, working together is bad. Whoever dares to rebel must be able to work together. Besides, if we don’t have any family members in Yunnan, we probably have to be honest and obedient.

The analysis is quite good, and it only makes sense without such an explanation.

For example, among the eight battalions under Hu Guozhu's command, there was no one of Ma Bao's former Xiaoxi Army soldiers; among the eight battalions under Hu Guozhu's command, there was no one under Ma Weixing's battalion; among the battalions under Zhang Guozhu's command, there was no battalion under Wu Zisheng.

The charge of treason can only be brought against the emperor by his ministers. The only one who can be convicted of that crime is the emperor.

Banbulshan is the seventh son of Nurhaci's grandson, Fuguo Gongtabai. He was a first-class general serving the country and a seventh-class general holding the country in the Jin Dynasty. He is now named Fuguo Gong.

Reorganization and training are in full swing, and the casting of bronze artillery is also stepping up. Although the quantity cannot satisfy the army's equipment at once, the old artillery can also be used, and the impact will be small.

"He didn't bring many new troops. When the Qing army first arrived, they must have violently retreated." Wu Yingxiong pondered for a long time, shook his head heavily, and said: "If the Qing army is defeated and strong, he will lead his troops again."

Switch defense."

"Ogong, there is no explanation for that one. The ballad was either passed down by the royal family or by Sony." Bumble said anxiously: "The royal family has the final say on who to choose as the emperor; Zhongyi and Sony have secretly discussed it, and Sony naturally

I also know about this."

As the reinforcements from eastern Sichuan arrived, we also brought a batch of bronze artillery, rockets and rifles, as well as the ammunition used. Huang Li arrived at Zhenyuan with the soldiers of the Seventh Battalion and also provided a small amount of combat supplies.

Banbulshan continued according to that idea: "We spread the song to frighten Mr. Ao. We are willing to march bravely in the rapids to protect our lives, which further fulfills our wish."

Wu Yingxiong hurriedly waved his hand and said angrily: "Don't flatter me, it's disgusting."

But with Obai's character, it is my choice to advance bravely. I consider myself loyal to Xiao Qing, and I also have the intention to rebel and usurp the throne.

"The Empress Dowager is preparing for the Emperor's personal rule!" Bumble, a member of Obei's party, is known for his good intentions and lack of resourcefulness, and his analysis is indeed very sophisticated.

Huang Li nodded vigorously and said: "You have brought dozens more artillery pieces from Guiyang. Although they are not too old, they can still be effective if placed underground."

As a member of the royal family, I also formed a clique with powerful ministers, just because I had to be re-employed, and I harbored resentment. This was also the main reason why Kangxi executed me in the first place.

The city has not yet been fortified, and the north gate is surrounded by dense trenches and deer villages, with a strict defense system.

The Ming army basically did not mobilize the officers, generals and soldiers of the Wu army, but only sent military law teams and part of the artillery. However, according to the original background, balance and adjustment were regressed.

"The palace has to hold on for eight months, and seven to seven months of food and grass supplies will be left in the city. With the strength of the Qing army, it is not difficult to surround the city."

Ruan Yuan kept smiling and said: "How dare my nephew think so? You eat less salt than you eat, and the bridge you cross is longer than the road you walk..."

Wu Yingxiong thought for a while and finally nodded and refused. However, he sent one less battalion of troops to guard the city to ensure that there was no danger.

From the end of Nurhaci, pretending to be a grandson in front of Li Chengliang, calling him daddy. Then to Shunzhi and Kangxi, that is really a unique skill passed down from ancestors.

"You bad boy, he was recuperating in Guiyang and came out there. Are you worried about Uncle Hao's ability?" Wu Yingxiong stroked his beard and teased with a smile.

Ruan Yuan saw that no soldiers were using vehicles to transport wood into the city. This should be used as fuel. It was also an important material that must be accumulated. No one has such a bad appetite, especially eating raw rice.

Although the rank of the four admirals is low, they hold the military power of the capital and the more than 80,000 troops they control are all elites. It cannot be said that the danger of the palace and even the emperor is also in the hands of the four admirals.

………………

According to the standards set by the Ming army, the Xuanfu envoy was required to send 8,000 troops, and the pacification envoy was required to send 1,000 troops. Less effort would result in less benefit. It is estimated that there will be less than 80 chieftains participating in the war, and there will be only 10,000 or 40,000 local soldiers.

"This guild recommends him to serve as the leader of the bodyguard." Ao Bai looked at Bambul Shan and said in a deep voice: "He is a bad person."

"That's it." Ao Bai was convinced. He clasped his hands together and exerted force, his knuckles made a crackling sound, and his face became brighter.

Zhenyuan has never been known as "the key to Dianchu and the gateway to eastern Guizhou". History books say: If you want to capture Dianchu, you must capture Zhenyuan; if you want to connect to Yunnan and Guizhou, you must first defend Zhenyuan. Because it is located on an important transportation road and the terrain is dangerous, it has always been a must for military strategists. place.

………………

The stone cliffs are tens of thousands of feet low, as straight and as broad as a screen. There is no such thing as "the screen mountain is the city, the dancing water is the pond, and the golden soup is so solid that it is better than this".

In addition to arranging for Bambul to take charge of the imperial palace, Oboi also planned to let his nephew Marseille serve as the admiral of the four gates.

Therefore, the admiral of the four gates has always been the most trusted minister of the emperor. If Ao Bai wants to push his nephew down, it will be easy or big.

Wu Yingxiong extended his hand and gestured, took Huang Li for a walk under the city wall, and said, "You plan to leave seven battalions of soldiers to defend the city. In that case, the required food and grass supplies will be too little."

Of course, there must be enough fuel, but we can't demolish the houses. Living in the city and having the troops take turns to go out for defense is more comfortable than the Qing army camping in the wild.

Before the chieftains of various families were summoned by the Ming army, they had not yet returned to their territories to train local soldiers and prepare to participate in the conquest of Burma before the frost.

Oboi nodded and said: "I think so too. In eight years' time, your Majesty will be seventeen years old. Following the example of our ancestors, he will be able to rule personally."

Divided according to ethnic groups, Tujia, Yi, Miao, Dai, Naxi, Bai, Zhuang, etc., the small army attacking Burma will be divided into several small camps to fight together and divide the spoils in advance.

Moreover, the birth of a queen in Sony's family means that the royal family has begun to be wary of someone, so they want to win over Sony.

Saying it is mixed with sand is not bad, saying it is a preventive measure, Ming Jun thinks that is the method that worries me the most.

Banbulshan was also surprised and doubtful about this. I can't believe that the song came later and the election of Sony's grandson as the emperor happened before.

Kunming.
