(ps: There are only two days left for the double monthly pass, and the 7,000-word chapter is updated to ask for a monthly pass.)
"Grand Master Ao, please take a look at this first." Xiao Mazi, who was kneeling on the ground, sobbed, took out the thick witch's secret book from his arms, and presented it to Ao who was also kneeling on the opposite side with his hands in his mouth. In front of Bai, he choked up and said: "After reading this, the grand master will understand my painstaking efforts."
Xiao Mazi's words and deeds were so solemn, and Oboi, who was appraised by Fatty Lu as a loyal minister, did not dare to neglect, quickly took the black book from Xiao Mazi with both hands, and knelt on the ground to read it carefully, but his last The reaction was beyond Xiao Mazi's reaction, neither as furious and furious as Xiao Mazi imagined, nor as indifferent or gloating as Xiao Mazi was planning for the worst. Instead, he was a little surprised and a little calm, just fine. It's like being mentally prepared for this but not being mentally prepared enough.
The fact is exactly the same. Regarding Wu Sangui's recruitment and frenzied preparations, Oboi had already known it well, but he didn't grasp it in such detail as the old hag of Xiaozhuang. I was a little startled secretly, I didn't expect that I just deliberately indulged Wu Sangui's military expansion. In less than two years, the military strength of Yunnan and Guizhou has grown to this point. Although it will not threaten the stability of Miqing's country, it also has a part of independent self-defense. The power of war.
Of course, Obai¡¯s conclusion is based on his impression that Wu Sangui¡¯s army¡¯s weapons and equipment have not changed. If Obai can know Wu Sangui¡¯s current real weapon reserves and weapon development and equipment with the help of a certain catastrophe, then You will definitely find that even if Mite Qing puts all the power of the whole country, whether he can completely eradicate the current Wu Sangui's forces is probably a huge problem.
"I dare not lie to the emperor. I have heard about Wu Sangui's crimes for a long time, but I don't have the details of the emperor." Aobai closed Wu Sangui's black tent and asked tentatively: "The emperor showed these things to the slave today. , Could it be that you want the servant to take action and cut off the traitorous king? Or do you want the slave to step forward to suppress the arrogance of the traitorous king, so that he can rein in the precipice and find his way back?"
"Wu Sangui, the king of feudal lords, has been favored by the king, with the highest quality and noble rank, but he doesn't want to repay him. He supports his troops in Yunnan and Guizhou, and acts lawlessly and perversely." Xiao Mazi choked up and said, "I think of the extraordinary achievements that preceded him. For the sake of it, I will endure and bear with him, yield again and again, undress him, push food and food, I am afraid that one day he will be able to rein in the precipice, know his way back, and make a good story with me through the ages. Who would have thought that this The servant doesn't think of the court's great kindness at all, and I have tolerated him, and I am still secretly recruiting soldiers and buying horses, stockpiling grass and food, I am afraid that sooner or later, I will have the heart of disobedience"
Crying up to this point, Xiao Mazi was already sobbing, and Oboi patted his chest and said: "Please rest assured, the emperor, it is not a slave boasting, Wu Sangui, the slave has never put it in his eyes! If Wu Sangui obediently listens to your majesty!" Will, everything is easy to say, if he has the slightest change, the slave can turn him into powder with a gesture of his hand!"
"If Wu Sangui can obediently obey my will, that would be great." Xiao Mazi smiled bitterly, then took out the memorial of Gan Wenkun and Zhu Guozhi, and said tearfully: "Teacher, please read this again."
Ao Bai took it, opened it and only took a few glances, the black brows on the two copper bell eyes immediately frowned into a Sichuan character, and said angrily: "You dog slave! These two dog slaves must have suffered Wu Sangui's benefit is to set the tax rate of Baqi Fushou cream so low, isn't this what it is? "
"Teacher, you must be clear." Xiao Mazi sobbed: "Last year, the total revenue of our Qing court was less than 24 million taels of silver, and Wu Sangui's income was more than five million taels just from the Eight Banners drug. Two, plus the military salary of more than three million taels given to him by the imperial court, the annual income is at least nine million taels! There is a lot of discussion in the court, inside and outside the court, because the world belongs to us, and I don¡¯t I will be jealous of his Wu Sangui's income, and just want to use taxation to weaken his power and make up for the shortfall of the court"
"It's just, I just didn't expect that this slave would buy the local governor again, set the tax rate so low, and continue to cling to the body of my Qing Dynasty to suck blood and devour the whale"
"Damn it, who told you, Xiao Mazi, to delegate the power of taxation to local governments, and let Zhu Guozhi, a well-known money-hungry and shameless dog slave, set taxes? Isn't it self-inflicted?" Obai muttered in his heart, but he didn't It's too embarrassing to criticize it openly, just waiting for Xiao Mazi's next words. Never thought that Xiao Mazi would just cry and wipe his tears all the time, without saying a word, Aobai had no choice but to ask tentatively: "Then what does the emperor plan to do now?"
"Before this, I was also worried that the local governor might be arrested.You see that traitor Wu Sangui is getting more and more powerful, more and more disobedient to the court, you have been worrying for a long time, and you have been preparing for the war in secret, it is only because of me that you, the grand master, are not willing to personally Go out and wipe out Wu Sangui, that disobedient traitor "
"No, the slave never meant that." Obai was both angry and funny, and comforted him: "Your Majesty, the slave is secretly preparing for war just in case, if possible, it's better not to fight."
"Grand Master, you lied to me." Xiao Mazi raised his head, stared at Oboi with tears in his eyes and said, "If Grand Master is still not at ease, then I can swear to the sky in front of Grand Master now, and I will be big to you." The ancestors of the Qing Dynasty and the late emperor swore in the spirit of heaven, if I do anything wrong to the Grand Master during your expedition to Yunnan and Guizhou, then I will die by the sword, my bones will be crushed, and I will never be reborn!"
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood, you have misunderstood." Oboi said anxiously, "Your Majesty, slaves can also swear to Tianming"
"No! I won't listen! I won't listen!" Xiao Mazi cried and interrupted, and buried his pockmarked face in Oboi's arms, weeping bitterly: "Teacher, I beg you, for the sake of the country and society of the Qing Dynasty, for the great The ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, also for the sake of my deceased emperor, get rid of Wu Sangui, the traitor king for me! In the future, if there is no grand master, what will I use to quell San Francisco and cut off that traitor Wu Sangui? King? Grand Master, I beg you, I beg you, my ancestors from the Qing Dynasty, and the former emperor who entrusted me to you, please"
For Obai with a straightforward personality, Xiao Mazi's father Shunzhi, who had saved his life several times under Dorgon's knife, is undoubtedly his biggest weakness¡ªafter all, Obai's surname is Guarjia, not Aixinjueluo , Obai still has a little conscience. But Xiao Mazi pulled Shunzhi out at every turn and begged Ao Bai, and Ao Bai couldn't help but start to waver.
After thinking for a long time, Oboi straightened Xiao Mazi who was crying bitterly, stared into Xiao Mazi's eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, you have decided, do you really plan to use force to eradicate Wu Sangui?"
Xiao Mazi nodded solemnly, and said with tears in his eyes: "I have made up my mind, Wu Sangui's treacherous king will not be eradicated for a day, and the Qing Dynasty will never have peace. Not only will it cost a lot, but I will ask the grand master to eradicate this treacherous king! Give me back!" The Qing Dynasty is unified, warn Geng and Shang the two vassals!"
Speaking of this, Xiao Mazi hugged Oboi's arm fiercely again, and begged: "Grand Master, for the sake of the country and the country of the Qing Dynasty, you promise me! After eradicating Wu Sangui, I will go to the Taimiao to offer incense and tell the world Grand Master, you are the prince! Grand Master, if you are willing to stay in the capital, I will hand over all the government affairs to you. If you think of other places, Grand Master, I will grant you Yunnan and Guizhou together as your fiefdom! Grand Master, are you Manchus, like me, are bleeding from Manchurians, I believe in you"
"The slaves don't dare to count on being crowned king." Obai said helplessly, "Since the emperor insists that Wu Sangui is so dangerous, then the emperor please do as you want, and the slaves will fully support it."
Speaking of this, Oboi sighed secretly again, thinking: "For the sake of the late emperor, let's wipe this kid's butt again. If this kid can really do what he says, then go to Yunnan to be an idle prince , is better than being in a stalemate with this kid in the capital, trembling and precarious. Alas, the late emperor, if you know the spirit in heaven, you should understand that this servant has really tried his best."
"Grand Master!" Xiao Mazi shouted joyfully, and threw himself into Oboi's arms again, weeping excitedly on Oboi's broad chest, thinking in his heart, "In case of emergency, it's better to increase the tax this time." The Dao decree writes the name of Oboi, if Wu Sangui wins, this old bastard can be pushed out as a substitute for the dead ghost, to vent his anger on the old bastard Wu Sangui."
By the way, Xiao Mazi's oath this time was basically fulfilled in the end, only the ashes of his bones were not fulfilled-because his ashes were mixed into clay by a certain evil, and burned into a toilet, specially placed in the mite. In the memorial hall of the Qing Dynasty massacre, it is for future generations to vent. (To be continued.
