Han’s Son is Not a Slave

What did Tang Sanshui come to Zhaoqing for?

Zhou Shixiang was a little surprised, and met Tang Sanshui in the conference hall with doubts.

Tang Sanshui came alone, without any entourage, looking good looking, with a big belly, much fatter than when they met in Zhaoqing last year. He was wearing casual clothes, people from Zhaoqing had many eyes, and no matter how brave Tang Sanshui was, he would not dare to wear his official uniform as an admiral to meet the Taiping army commander.

"Brother Sanshui!"

Tang Sanshui is an old acquaintance. If it wasn't for Tang Sanshui, Zhou Shixiang would not have achieved what he is today. Drinking water thinks of the source, so he didn't hold the air, but got up with a smile and walked forward to greet him, showing his closeness to Tang Sanshui.

Seeing Zhou Shixiang coming to greet him, Tang Sanshui was stunned, hesitated for a while, then shouted "I can't" and immediately accelerated his pace and rushed forward. This posture shocked Zhou Shixiang's personal guards, and also shocked Zhou Shixiang: Why, Brother Sanshui is going to be Jingke!

Just when Zhou Shixiang was about to step back subconsciously, and when the guards were about to jump up and capture Tang Sanshui, Tang Sanshui knelt down with a "thump", and then shouted: "His Royal Highness King Qi, the humble position is called lard blinded. what!"

This scene made Zhou Shixiang confused the second monk Zhang Er, and Tang Sanshui was confused by the lard. At the same time, Tang Sanshui's "His Royal Highness King Qi" also called him stunned.

Zhou Shixiang didn't move, but he frightened Tang Sanshui, thinking that Xiucai hated him and refused to forgive him, so he performed even harder, hoarse, shed tears, and said a lot of incoherent words, Zhou Shixiang took a lot of time Only then did Da Jin figure out why Brother Sanshui said that he was blinded by the name of lard.

It turned out that after hearing that the Qing army had invaded the southwest and the Yongli court was in jeopardy, Tang Sanshui, who had always been good at setting his position, felt that the future of the Ming Dynasty and the Taiping army was not good. After he brought back Wang Jizhen, the son of Ma Yaozi Wang Fuchen, from Beijing, Tang Sanshui officially cut off all contact with the Taiping Army.

Not only that, Tang Sanshui also placed heavy troops at several key points in Shaozhou, and he continued to write to the Qing court. Just waiting for the news of the Southwest's good news, the army turned to Guangdong and wanted to serve the Qing Dynasty. Never thought that after the Taiping Army's westward expedition, there were successive reports of success, occupying Guangxi and Huguang at once, and blocking the hundreds of thousands of troops of Lord Xin Duoni in Yungui. This made Tang San anxious and didn't know what to do, regretting that he shouldn't have had a pair of "power eyes", betting too fast in advance, making it too embarrassing now, in a dilemma. It should be noted that he can sit on the high position of the Guangdong Admiral, relying on the continuous "combat exploits" of the Taiping Army. If the "combat exploits" are gone, the Taiping Army will come to the city again, and he will not even have the northwest wind as the Admiral Tang. drink.

For more than half a month, Tang Sanshui was sitting and lying in Shaozhou's admiral's yamen, thinking only one thing in his forehead, and that was how to mend his relationship with the Taiping Army. Hearing that Xiucai returned to Zhaoqing, and the Yongli court named Xiucai Queen Qi again, Tang Sanshui's mind moved again. He decided to come to Zhaoqing in person to resolve the relationship with Xiucai. Of course, he still couldn't do the drama of taking Jing Jing's guilt. It's not that he didn't want to do it, but no matter what, he, Tang Sanshui, was the Admiral of Guangdong in Qing Dynasty. After doing this, he doesn't need to mess around with the Qing court!

Brother Sanshui just wanted to mend the relationship with Xiucai, but he didn't say that he would take effect. After all, King Xin was just trapped and didn't lose. As for the day when his illicit affair with the Taiping Army was discovered by the Qing court, he was not afraid, because it could be said that it was a counter-plan by a thief. Facts can prove Tang Sanshui's loyalty to the Qing Dynasty. If it weren't for Tang Sanshui, Shaozhou would have been occupied by the Taiping Army long ago. Without Shaozhou, can Jiangxi be stable? If the Qing court really wanted to deal with him, it would be simple. The big deal is that the braids are cut off anyway.

With soldiers under his command, he can't get along anywhere. The reason why Tang Sanshui has been reluctant to return to the Ming Dynasty is because he wants to gain greater benefits between Ming and Qing Dynasties. The price has come, and there is no danger of death, what can't be done, can't be done? Of course, the most important thing now is that Zhou Shixiang can forgive him, otherwise, he really has no way out.

Zhou Shixiang, who understood what was going on, looked at Tang Sanshui who was crying in front of his knees, smiled, bent down to help him up, and comforted him: "Brother is too careless, Shixiang never blamed brother in his heart, besides, Speaking of this, it's up to you and me, so there's nothing to blame."

"Your Highness is really a lot of adults." Tang Sanshui's voice choked, he wiped his tears with his sleeves, but the tears didn't stop there.

Hearing the title of "His Royal Highness" again, Zhou Shixiang was very uncomfortable, and quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother is killing me. King Qi's matter can't be taken seriously, it can't be taken seriously, the elder brother called him that, but he broke the younger brother."

"Why can't you be considered? Your Royal Highness honored King Qi, I know all the people in the streets and alleys of Shaozhou. It's really gratifying!"

Tang Sanshui, who got up from the ground, still had tears in the corners of his eyes, his face was full of admiration, and at the same time he sighed in his heart: How could this thief and scholar become a prince of the Ming Dynasty, people are really maddening.

"This...."

Zhou Shi didn't know much about Annan's situation, and he didn't know whether the intention to make him the King of Qi was true or not. After all, the great scholar Guo Zhiqi never said about it. Combined with Yongli's stingy personality, he was very suspicious. over believe. But whether this matter is true or false, Zhou Shixiang must take it seriously. The canonization of King Qi means too much to him, but it is not good for Tang Sanshui to say too much about it, so he is vague.

Tang Sanshui didn't come empty-handed, but brought a gift. The gift is very real, 60 carts of food. Of course, this food is not his own pocket, but the pocket of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. These grains are military rations. They were sent from Ganzhou, Jiangxi a few days ago, and they were pulled directly before they could be unloaded. If Shunzhi knew that he personally wrote on the back of the screen that Tang Sanshui available to good generals was so generous, he would be so angry that he would vomit three liters of blood.

Reach out and don't hit the gift giver, but the other party still has value. At the moment, Zhou Shixiang naturally thanked him and asked some news about Tang Sanshui Qingting. According to Tang Sanshui, the Qing court sent Prince An Yue Le to Jiangning. A few days ago, Tang News reported that Prince An went to Anqing, but he did not know why. In addition, the Qing court successively transferred troops from Henan, Shaanxi and other places, and another 10,000 or 20,000 people were recruited from Mongolia, and there were also changes in the green camp in Jiangxi. Combined with the predicament in the southwest, Zhou Shixiang analyzed that Shunzhi might want to transfer troops to attack Huguang, so as to rescue the Qing army from Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi.

After finally locking Duny and Wu Sangui, Zhou Shixiang naturally couldn't let them out. Now, Cheng Hanbin's proposal has become more and more important. The Northern Expedition is imminent, and the initiative of the war must not be turned to the Qing army. The Taiping army must immediately expedition to the north, surround Jiangnan, Wei saves Huguang, Zhao, and lead the Shunzhi and Qing troops by the nose, not by their noses.

The Northern Expedition Army has been formed, and after repeated battles, the various divisions are also tired, and now they are resting in Zhaoqing and Lianzhou. As long as the Tang king supervises the country, Zhou Shixiang will lead his army to the northern expedition. And if you want to achieve the goal of the Northern Expedition as quickly as possible, you must go north from Shaozhou, where Tang Sanshui is garrisoned, and then capture Ganzhou, so that Jiangxi can be decided without a war. With Jiangxi's manpower and forage, the Northern Expedition can support the war through warfare and reduce the burden on Guangdong. After obtaining the money and grain resources in Jiangnan, and the rice in Annan, Zhou Shixiang will no longer have to worry about money and grain. The Taiping Army's combat capability can be further improved, and it can also withstand defeat. Because of the stable and fertile territory of several provinces, the Taiping Army has the ability to make blood, and Zhou Shixiang has more strategic initiative.

Thinking of this, the importance of Tang Sanshui became even more prominent. Zhou Shixiang thought that Tang Sanshui would not come early or late, but coming at this time, was it really a blessing sent to him by God. Just as he was about to speak to him about the Northern Expedition, Dong Changqing, an officer of the Ministry of War, hurried in with an official document on his face.

"Great commander, great victory, great victory in Guangxi!" Dong Changqing was so excited that he shouted all the way ~www.NovelMTL.com~ with a hoarse voice.

"Oh? Here it is!"

Zhou Shixiang also got up in an instant, and took the report of victory from Dong Changqing's hand. When he saw it, there were only five characters on it - "You live up to your position as a commander!"

"Haha, good, good!" Although there are only five words, but it is better than everything, Zhou Shixiang laughed, "Good one Yu Shizhong, good one Yu Shizhong, this handsome did not misread him!"

"Once Roto is defeated, the overall situation in Guangxi will be settled, and the Qing army of Yungui can no longer go beyond the thunderous pool!" Dong Changqing said excitedly.

"Your Highness?"

Tang Sanshui was a little confused, not knowing what great victory the Taiping Army in Guangxi had made.

Zhou Shixiang smiled and said to him: "I want to make my brother rejoice, our army has defeated Roto in Guangxi."

"Ah? General Ningnan is defeated!"

Tang Sanshui was abrupt, this news was not good news for him, but he quickly adjusted his attitude and hurriedly complimented Zhou Shixiang: "Congratulations, Your Highness, congratulations, Your Highness, Roto's defeat is all due to His Highness's skillful use of troops and good command. .."

"It's all about the life of the soldiers, what does it have to do with me?" Zhou Shixiang chuckled lightly, and suddenly turned his face into a straight face to Tang Sanshui: "Since Roto is defeated, I will no longer have any concerns, I intend to go to the north, but I don't know. Brother, would you like to help me?"

"Northern Expedition?" Tang Sanshui swallowed, this news made his mind a little unable to accept it. He hesitated for a long time and said, "I don't know where His Royal Highness is on the northern expedition?"

Zhou Shixiang smiled slightly and said, "Southern Capital."

"Nandu?" Tang Sanshui swallowed his throat again, and said very anxiously: "I don't know where your Highness wants to go to the north?"

"Is this? What does brother think?" Zhou Shixiang didn't say it clearly, only looked at Tang Sanshui meaningfully.

Xiucai, you are going to Nanjing, it's none of my business... Tang Sanshui's thoughts turned abruptly, and after a while, he nodded sharply and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, I understand my humble position, my humble position understands!" (To be continued.)
