Originally, the relationship between the monk Wu Sangui and Geng's family was not very good, but the atmosphere of the Qing court was getting worse day by day. Sanfan suddenly discovered that they had common interests again. As the third generation of the Geng family, Geng Jingzhong was not very loyal to the court, and his fear of not many Manchurian soldiers had long disappeared. After the emperor's military adventure failed, the exchanges between Fujian and Guilin suddenly became frequent. Shang Kexi from Guangdong were more scheming and planned to be loyal to the Qing court in this life, but Shang Kexi did not mind his son going out to help the Shang family grab territory.

"Shang Zhixin said that he would launch a mutiny at the right time and put his father under house arrest." Xia Guoxiang replied, needless to say, this mutiny would definitely not bleed. Although Shang Kexi continued to be "loyal to" the Qing Dynasty, as long as Shang Zhixin was made public, no one would have to kill Shang Kexi. And if the situation changes in the future, such as Deng Mingde died of illness and his generals were in conflict with each other like the three kings of that year, Shang Kexi could also launch a "mutineering" to arrest Shang Zhixin, the "rebellious son", and he would still be able to keep the family safe.

"Shang Kexi's courage is getting smaller and smaller, but that's fine." Wu Sangui sneered. Shang Kexi bets on both sides will make Guangdong lack confidence and fearful when grabbing territory. This is not a bad thing for Wu Sangui.

Since Shang Zhixin agreed to join, Wu Sangui would probably be able to reverse the Southeast this time - he would definitely be gradually restrained by the Ming court after all, so Wu Sangui knew that it should not be too early anyway; only at that moment, Wu Sangui had complete freedom of movement, and at that time, no matter who he beat, he would not be criticized too much.

Not only Wu Sangui knew this, but Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong also knew it. Fujian was very poor. Geng Jingzhong hinted that Wu Sangui was interested in Zhejiang and Jiangxi. Now half of Zhejiang is a forbidden sea area. Geng Jingzhong planned to tear off a piece from southern Zhejiang and then take up some territory in Jiangxi. Shang Zhixin was also interested in Jiangxi, but because the Shang family was thinking that both sides would not offend, Wu Sangui estimated that Guangdong would not act quickly.

Wu Sangui has always strongly encouraged Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong's ambitions. As long as these two vassals messed up Zhejiang and Jiangxi, Li Dingguo would create opportunities for the eastern expedition. Only when Li Dingguo's main force traveled to Jiangnan or Henan, Wu Sangui could draw more territory for himself without causing conflict with the Ming army.

In addition to Li Dingguo, Wu Sangui also sent people to contact Zheng Jing, Taiwan. When Zheng Chenggong was about to collapse, he was quite impressed by this spirit. Even if Zheng Jing was not as good as his father, his words when he refused to persuade the Qing court to surrender were loud and powerful. Wu Sangui thought he should be a hero. Therefore, Wu Sangui persuaded Zheng Jing to send all the Taiwanese soldiers and take advantage of the main force of Jiang Guozhu invading Jiangxi. If Zheng Jing did this, the southeast would be even more chaos, which would further increase the probability of Li Dingguo's eastern expedition; and the Zhejiang East Army was an allies of Taiwan, which was unlikely to stop Zheng Jing from entering the Yangtze River. When Deng Ming came back, if he wanted to coordinate the conflict, Li Dingguo and Zheng Jing who were invading Jiangnan were the first to be Li Dingguo and Zheng Jing who were invading Jiangnan. If they were not settled, it would not be the turn of Wu Sangui who expanded his territory in Hunan in a low-key manner.

After Xia Guogong left, Wu Sangui stared at the map for a long time. There was a chance of chaos in the world in the sixth year of Kangxi, but the situation did not evolve in the direction of Wu Sangui's hope. This time Deng Ming's trip to sea might be the last chance.

"I really hope that Geng Jingzhong will directly conquer Hangzhou, Zheng Jing will host Nanjing, and Li Dingguo will take Wuchang." Wu Sangui muttered softly. Deng Ming has always been very restrained and has always given the governors and governors from all over the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the governors from all over the country are not interested in fighting with Deng Ming. Even Beijing feels that as long as they don't offend Deng Ming to death, there may be a way out.

If the situation continues to develop like this, then Deng Ming may be able to make an announcement in the future. Wu Sangui, Shang Zhixin, Geng Jingzhong, and other ambitious people, such as Jiang Guozhu, will not have any chance. Fortunately, Deng Ming finally made a mistake this time. He did not continue to take charge of Chengdu to suppress all domestic forces. As long as Zheng Jing and Li Dingguo took Jiang Guozhu and Zhang Changgeng's nest, or showed the attitude of holding their nests, the governor would feel that it was necessary to resist the Ming army to the end. If Geng Jingzhong, Shang Kexie drove Zhao Guozuo and Zhang Chao to kill them, of course he would be even more eager, and Beijing would be touched, thinking that the Ming army would not leave them a way out after all. After any, Wu Sangui would not mind shouting harsh words such as "Han and thieves are not in harmony", "cutting the roots", and "no men and women are left" to deepen the impression of Beijing.

In the past, Deng Ming was obviously very cautious about Wu Sangui. King Pingxi believed that this was mainly because Gong Yan did not work well. When he was in Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui cheated the camp too badly, and Gong Yan was not worried. In the sixth year of Kangxi, the Ming army had the opportunity to capture Beijing, but Deng Ming was extremely cautious and restrained, but forced the Qing court to buy a batch of bonds and go back to the court. Wu Sangui suspected that it was Gong Yan that old guy was making trouble - it must be Gong Yan who promoted the camp to break into the king's camp.

This lesson was told to Deng Ming. However, Gong Yan passed away last year, and Deng Ming buried the Minister of the Dashun Li Government with the etiquette of the prime minister. Now no one will say bad things about the King of Pingxi in Deng Ming’s ears, right? Wu Sangui felt that his image was still good. When he first met Deng Ming, he was considerate and suffered a loss. As long as he no longer had a grudge and was in a camp, Wu Sangui felt that Deng Ming himself should not have any special disgust towards him.

"Li Dingguo, Zheng Jing, you are all determined to be Yue Wumu, so don't let me down."

In Wu Sangui's view, this is what is called the so-called mantis stalking the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

...

Dongning.

"Wu Sangui planned to merge with King Jin's troops and take the Yangtze River all. I suggest that I send troops to Nanjing and meet with King Jin's King Anqing." Zheng Jing showed Wu Sangui's letter to his subordinates. Zheng Jing in this world was much more comfortable than Deng Ming's previous life. Since Deng Ming had been giving Zheng Jing a large amount of money for sea trade for many years, Taiwan can now gather a large army of 100,000. Although it is still not as good as Zheng Chenggong's heyday, it is also equivalent to 60,000 or 70% of the strength at that time.

In his letter, Wu Sangui also said that Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong would be together anyway, but this is the tacit understanding between the three vassal kings for the time being. Except for Zheng Jing, there is no fifth one to know. Even Li Dingguo is currently in the dark, so Wu Sangui begs Zheng Jing to keep it confidential. However, Zheng Jing did not hesitate to hand over the secret letter to his subordinates for the review and asked the subordinates who attended the meeting to express their opinions.

"This is a great thing." Chen Yonghua, as the chief internal affairs manager of Taiwan, expressed his surprise agreement: "The three feudalists all rebelled, the King of Jin, and the King of Zhejiang and the King of the Qing Dynasty, where is our opponent? Their elites can no longer beat the farmers in western Sichuan. Even if Deng Xiang is not here, we can restore the south of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop."

Chen Yonghua couldn't help but feel a little excited when he said this: "Restoring the Shenjing was the lifelong ambition of the former king. The king drank horses and the Yangtze River, first took Nanjing, and then met with the King of Jin to Anqing. Not only did he fulfill the will of the former king, but he could also leave a reputation for eternity."

Although Deng Ming and Zheng Jing had a very harmonious relationship, Deng Ming sent troops to Nanyang Zheng Jing to accompany him this time, but Chen Yonghua certainly would not object to the good thing of Yanping's vassal expansion of territory. On this issue, Chen Yonghua felt that the Three Feudalists and Taiwan had more common interests. Besides, when Deng Ming expanded his territory, he never had Taiwan's consent, right?

"But why did the Three Feudatories choose this time?" Zheng Jing questioned: "Why should I choose the Duke of Baoguo to jump out when going out to sea? They have their own wishful thinking, right?"

"It's just to win some credit." Chen Yonghua didn't care much about this: "This is not harmful to the king."

"Hmm." Zheng Jing seemed not very satisfied with Chen Yonghua's reaction.

"King, as far as the last generals see, we should not go to attack Nanjing, but Fujian." Liu Guoxuan said loudly: "There is also Guangdong, which is also worth fighting."

"Why?" Chen Yonghua exclaimed: "If Sanfan is, even if we suspect that they don't meet with them, it's not easy to hit them, right?"

"This is a bad statement," Liu Guoxuan smiled and said, "Mr. Chen thinks, who is stronger or weaker, Lu Ting or Geng Jingzhong?"

"Of course it's Lu Tingqiang."

"Even if the captain court doesn't care, then what will happen if Geng Jingzhong fights against Zhao Guozuo and Jiang Guozhu?" Liu Guoxuan asked afterwards.

Chen Yonghua pondered for a moment: "Let's open it for five or five."

"I think Geng Jingzhong has a greater chance of winning. Although Jiangnan and Zhejiang are richer than Geng Jingzhong, their soldiers are definitely not as good as Geng's vassal soldiers. As Wu Sangui said, if we participate in the war and the captive court does not intervene, Zhao Guozuo and Jiang Guozhu will undoubtedly be defeated. Then Geng Jingzhong will definitely compete with us for territory. If we don't agree to him, Geng Jingzhong may still fight with us. The captive court will definitely not want to lose the taxes from Jiangnan and will fight again. At that time, the navy of our vassal will have the opportunity to stand in front of the army, and Geng Jingzhong will grow stronger under the protection of our vassal." Liu Guoxuan made Zheng Jing nod repeatedly when he heard this, but Chen Yonghua obviously had not yet awakened.

Liu Guoxuan further explained: "And we can pretend to agree to Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong. When we hear that we are willing to send troops, Geng Jingzhong will be eager to send troops to Zhejiang. Jiangnan will seize territory. His rear is empty. Our army will definitely win a great victory. At this time, Geng Jingzhong is in a stalemate with Jiang Guozhu on the front line, and his clone is unable to cede the territory and seek peace. When Geng Jingzhong takes Zhejiang, we will take half of Fujian first; when Geng Jingzhong enters Jiangnan, we will get the entire Fujian - unless Geng Jingzhong wants to be attacked from both sides, or is willing to give up the rich land he just seized, he will definitely meet our requirements again and again and again and cede the land to us."

Chen Yonghua was stunned: "But what if Geng Jingzhong was furious and rebelled back? He is not a loyal minister and filial son, and he is unreliable."

"Yes, Geng Jingzhong is not reliable, but Shang Zhixin is not reliable either. So instead of hoping that they can unite with us, we might as well take over their Fujian and Guangdong. If these two provinces can be firmly grasped in the hands of the king, they will definitely be able to play a greater role." After Liu Guoxuan finished speaking, he turned around and clasped his fists to Zheng Jing and said, "I will only have a foolish opinion, and it will be true that the king will decide."

Liu Guoxuan's theory of "one bird in hand is better than two birds in the alliance" is obviously very consistent with Zheng Jing's spleen and stomach. Prince Yanping smiled and decided to play a good show of the yellow bird in the future: "Just do it this way, I will reply and tell Wu Sangui that I agree; but this vassal must hold the troops first. After the letter from the monk Geng Jingzhong sent troops, this vassal will take Fujian first and then Guangdong first!"
