Kexi was silent for a moment, and stroked his beard and said, "From my perspective, this Nanming is t[. Everyone's hands are stained with the blood of the Zhu family. Once the Nanming becomes a climate, you and I will not have good results. But the court has to be careful, especially Oboi, who is arrogant and domineering. Once the Nanming is wiped out, his mind suddenly becomes hot, which is not a joke."

Shang Kexi said this and pondered for a while: "For the sake of the current plan, we can only wait and see the situation first. If Aobai really wants to withdraw the vassal state, we will never be able to move so easily. As long as everyone embraced him into a group, Aobai might not be able to do anything to us."

Shang Kexi's words had a hint of rebellion. Geng Jingzhong and Zhao Fu nodded together and said yes, but Wang Fuchen was silent. The situation in Shaanxi and Guizhou was different. Guizhou was the vassal of King Pingxi. After Wu Sangui's death, Zhao Fu gathered the remnants of Guangning and still managed Guizhou, and almost controlled the military and political power of Guizhou. However, he was different in Shaanxi. Although Wang Fuchen's old subordinates accounted for the majority, he was also stationed by the general Zhang Yong of Gansu. In addition, the court's control over Shaanxi was much stricter than the Three Feudalists. If Wang Fuchen followed Shang Kexi and others to make trouble, he would probably be the first person to attack the court. More importantly, Shaanxi was far apart from the Three Feudalists. Once something happened, Wang Fuchen would become a lonely army. He was not a fool. He could not nod in such a thing.

Shang Kexi's eyes fell on Wang Fuchen: "What? Fuchen, don't you want to share weal and woe with us?"

Wang Fuchen hurriedly said, "The King of Zhennan is joking. Bei Zhi is naturally standing on the side with the prince. But this is a big deal after all, and it still needs to be discussed calmly."

Shang Kexi was unconvinced. He played with the teacup and stopped Geng Jingzhong, who was about to blame him with his eyes, and said, "What the assistant minister said makes sense. This matter is too important. Let's talk about it later."

The four of them "chat" a few more words. Because they had a knot in their hearts and were not warm, they said a few words of what they saw and heard along the way, and then they parted in dissatisfaction.

Shang Kexi returned. When he arrived at his residence, he felt more and more depressed. Since he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, it was the first time he felt a heavy cloud pressing on his heart. His vassal states were in Guangdong. Now, across the sea in the south, the Ming navy occupying Qiongzhou often harassed him. To the west is the Ming army in Guangxi showing off his power, and to the north is the court's surface favor. Behind the pressure of abolishing the vassal states, he always wanted to abolish the vassal states. Now Oboi has arrived in Hengyang, and the 30,000 cavalry camps brought by him are all elites. On the surface, they are encircled and suppressed the Southern Ming, but invisibly suppressed his Guangdong.

Zhao Fu was not wrong. Once the Southern Ming Dynasty suppressed the peace, would Obai take this opportunity to withdraw the Three Feudals? According to Obai's temperament, it is very likely that this person is Shang Kexi who knows too much. Once he thinks about what he will do without hesitation, this person is also very terrifying. He is arrogant and domineering. Even the powerful Dorgon didn't take it seriously back then. He fought with Dorgon for more than ten years. After Dorgon's death, he fought a life-and-death struggle against Suksaha. Now Suksaha's whole family has been sent to Ningguta to serve as slaves. So who is his next target?

A chill rose in Shang Kexi's heart. He immediately felt that his situation was very dangerous. As a foreign vassal, if the Ming army wins, then his Guangdong Province is likely to be captured by the Ming army, and he will become a loser. Even if the Qing army wins, he will likely become a stepping stone under Oboi's military achievements. There is only one reason for this. He is too weak, and he cannot contribute his loyalty to these two giants beside him. He is always loyal to himself.

He still has allies, Shang Kexi from Fujian, Zhao Fufu from Guizhou, and even Wang Fuchen from Shaanxi were his allies. They were all sheep sandwiched between two tigers. Shang Kexi originally thought that as long as four people could hold them together, the court would definitely not take action easily. But he was wrong. This time he was facing Oboi, the first Batulu of the Qing Dynasty who could not be guessed by common sense. And his allies were not as firm as he imagined. Today's meeting made him suddenly realize that he really overestimated himself and overestimated his "allies".

What to do? Shang Ke was so happy that he was pacing back and forth. His throne was cursing with countless people behind his back. He fought with his life. If someone came to snatch it, he could jump out and fight with others without hesitation. He had lived for too long. He had enjoyed enough wealth and honor. But he had to pave the way for his descendants.

Shang Kexi suddenly stopped his feet. His eyes were staring at a painting on the wall. I don’t know how many officials this Hengyang Inn has received. It is common for some artful officials to leave some "in calligraphy" here. The snobbish Inn will hang it in the wing room of the corresponding level according to the position of each official in order to curry favor with the official. The wing room where Shang Kexi lives is naturally the highest-end one in the inn. On weekdays, officials are not allowed to live in. Only when the chief officials and imperial envoys pass by will open it. A seal of a man of a man is stamped on this wall. According to Shang Kexi, this wing must be a work of artfulness that passed by when he crossed the river to encircle Emperor Longwu of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

This painting is really rough and not even rough. It is not even considered a rough text. But it is because this person has a noble name and the postmaster is flattering and pasting it on this place. The painting is an endless grassland. The wind blows by. The land horses and sheep are formed on the grass.

.

This should be the grassland in Liaodong. It should be that after the Beizi entered the pass, he missed his hometown and then completed the "masterpiece" in one go. It attracted Shang Kexi's attention. It was the green grass in the painting that was blown by the wind. After the wind, the green grass was tilted along the wind.

The grass on the wall falls with the wind. Isn’t it the same with the grass on the grass on the grass? When the east wind passes, the grass falls to the west. When the west wind passes, the grass falls to the east. Only by following the trend can we have such strong vitality.

A terrible thought emerged from Shang Kexi's mind, and the python robe that was close to her back was unconsciously soaked in cold sweat.

Surrender to the new emperor?

Shang Kexi took another step. This was definitely a crazy idea and the most effective way to break the current dilemma.

But can it succeed?

Shang Kexi narrowed his eyes and kept weighing the pros and cons.

Once he surrendered to the Southern Ming Dynasty, Oboi's military deployment would be disrupted, and the chances of winning in the subsequent war between Nanming and Oboi increased by at least 30%. Therefore, it is not without a future to surrender to the Ming army. Shang Kexi had personally read the battle report and was very surprised by the Ming army's various new ships and firearms and the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. In just three years, the Ming army was able to train such strong soldiers. Shang Kexi was very confident in the new emperor.

The biggest question is, will the New Emperor accept a traitor?

Yes, Shang Kexi is very confident about this. The reason is very simple. Shang Kexi is more clear than anyone else. Nan Ming needs him as a traitor. As long as Nan Ming accepts him, he can not only weaken the Qing Dynasty, but also strengthen himself.

So will he be neglected after surrendering?

No, Shang Kexi is full of confidence in this. The reason is very simple. The Xinshi Emperor needs to set a good example from all over the world. If everyone in the world wants to see it, even the traitors like Shang Kexi who are reborn can be valued. Then other Qing generals who surrendered to the Southern Ming Dynasty will definitely follow him. The role of role models is endless. If the Xinshi Emperor wants to revive the world, he must hang up Shang Kexi. Shang Kexi himself is a golden signboard.

Then what else can hesitate? A smile appeared on the corner of Shang Kexi's mouth. Aren't he just a green grass under the wind? Whoever gives him more wealth and wealth will naturally go where he will go. He turned to the Qing Dynasty back then, but why can't he go to Nanming again? Being an official is the same as doing business. Whoever gives him more money will naturally cooperate with him. What are the things he has to worry about?

Shang Kexi felt that his heart was still beating wildly. This was a major choice. If it was not good, it would be possible to die without a place of burial.

"Come on." Shang Kexi shouted outside the door.

A butler immediately pushed the door and hit Qian, bent his legs and said, "Prince, you give me instructions."

"Go and call the prince." Shang Kexi sat back on the chair.

"Zhe!" The housekeeper hurriedly left.

Over the years, Shang Kexi's health was not as good as before. In order to show his filial piety, the prince Shang Zhixin accompanied him to Hengyang and lived next to his wing. Shang Zhixin heard the order of his father and hurriedly trotted in and greeted Qian.

Shang Kexi raised his hand: "No need, Xiner, come here."

Shang Zhixin didn't know what was going on, so he had to go over. Shang Kexi waved his hand again, and Shang Zhixin understood and attached his ear to the mouth of his father. Shang Kexi softly said the thought just now, and Shang Zhixin's face changed drastically, and his breathing gradually became rapid.

After Shang Kexi finished speaking, he left Shang Zhixin's ears, coughed and said, "Xin'er, what do you think?"

"Father, things shouldn't be so bad. The child thought it would be...just...to see."

Shang Kexi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The knife is about to be put on his neck. The court has long been discussed in the court to abolish the Three Feudals. The reason why he dared not implement it is because the King Pingxi has too much troops and the father and Geng Jingzhong of Fujian echo each other. Now that the King Pingxi is dead, the Three Feudals have become two feudals. With the strength of our and Geng Jingzhong, we can no longer make trouble. The Oboi, who supervises the battle, is a courageous person. Once he has this idea, it will be too late for us to respond."

Shang Zhixin was shocked and suspicious and did not listen to his father's words at all, and stuttered: "Nan Ming is really willing to accept us? After all, we were its traitors. What if they not only refused to accept it, but also told the world about this? At that time, the court knew that we colluded with Nan Ming, would we give us good fruits? Father, we have to be careful about this matter."

Shang Kexi said: "Don't worry, your father has an idea. This time I asked you to come, so that you can quietly go back to Guangzhou and try to contact the Ming soldiers of Qiongzhou Island first. Well, we can send some gifts to you, don't tell me about the surrender, and test the reaction of the Xinshidi Emperor. If he accepts it happily, we will talk slowly."

Shang Zhixin nodded helplessly, sat down for a while with a pale face and a dazed moment. After Shang Kexi warned some precautions one by one, he said goodbye.

Shang Zhixin found an inn to leave the inn, and immediately rode a few confidants to Guangzhou on fast horses...
