Therefore, Zhu San's father and son must go northward along the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang, and go straight to Jiangning.Moreover, they have the pirates Zheng Shizi and Qiu Hui to help them, and some are sea ships and sailors. There shouldn't be any difficulty in transporting tens of thousands of people to the Northern Expedition by water.
The gains and losses of Jiangning are related to the rise and fall of the country, and there must be no loss!The slave thought about it, and felt uneasy about taking on this heavy responsibility for others, so the slave boldly begged for orders, to go to Zhenjiang! "
After saying this, Yue Le kowtowed again, bowing to the ground!
Seeing Yue Le's performance like this, and hearing Yue Le's well-founded analysis before, Emperor Kangxi also felt that Yue Le must guard Jiangning.
So Kangxi no longer hesitated, and announced loudly: "Prince An Yue Le, I order you to be the General of Xuanwei and General Jiangning, to the southeast of Xuanwei, to guard Jiangning, and to control the soldiers and civilians of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces... In addition , and then three thousand elite soldiers will be drawn from the Vanguard Battalion, Xiaoqi Battalion, Baoyi Xiaoqi Battalion, and the newly formed Baoyi Huolei Battalion, and go south with them!"
Kangxi lost his money this time!As soon as he made a move, there were three thousand and eight banner soldiers, and they also dispatched elite soldiers from the newly formed Coated Huolei Battalion.
The so-called Baoyi Huolei Camp, like the Baoyi Xiaoqi Camp, is under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and most of its members come from the Shangsanqi Coating slaves under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and are personally trained by Kangxi and the "real Hanlin" Zhang Hongtian.
Yue Le kowtowed again: "There are slaves guarding Jiangning, even if the traitor Zhu San has millions of people, he would never even think about setting foot in the south of the Yangtze River!"
Hearing Prince An Yue Le's words, Emperor Kangxi immediately felt relieved... This Prince An is indeed a reassuring prince!
It's a pity that there is only one Prince An in the Qing Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Kangxi asked again: "Prince An, besides Jiangning, where else is the key to defeat Wu and Zhu?"
"If you go back to the emperor, the slaves think that under Jiangning, Wuchang is the most important. Wuchang is the thoroughfare of nine provinces, controlling the throat of the Yangtze River and the Han River. If it is taken by Wu, Wu's thieves will not only have the possibility of going east along the river. There are also Fuhan Enter Xiang, go north with all your strength, and try your best! Fortunately, there is Tu Hai guarding Wuchang, and Shi Lang and Sun Sike assisting, so there should be no serious problems. However, Jingzhou to the west of Wuchang, Nanchang and Jiujiang to the east of Wuchang, etc. We should also deploy heavy troops to prevent Wu Ni from taking the risk of dividing his troops into Jiangbei or entering the invaders from Jiangxi, making a detour to the lower reaches of Wuchang, and then proceeding east-west.
In addition, the servant thought that Yuezhou Mansion did not have to stick to it...it could be handed over to Wu Ni. "
"Give up Yuezhou to Wu Ni? Why?" Kangxi was puzzled.
"Returning to the emperor," Prince An Yue Le said, "If Wu Ni wins Yuezhou, he will definitely set up a large navy to go down the river. If he can't win Yuezhou, Wu Sangui may have the heart to force his entire army to cross the river." Northward..."
Chapter 256 You Have Yang Qilong, I Have Kong Sizhen
"Didn't Wu Sangui's entire army cross the river just to annihilate them all in one fell swoop?"
Emperor Kangxi couldn't understand Prince An Yue Le's words. He frowned and asked, "North of the Yangtze River, there are many plains and few rivers. This is where my Eight Banners' heavenly soldiers run wild. If Wu Sangui's entire army goes north, wouldn't that suit me? "
Upon hearing this, Prince An Yue Le quickly kowtowed to the ground: "Your Majesty, there are also five hundred and eight banner heavenly soldiers under Tu Hai's command!"
After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi felt that his pockmarked face was a little hot and numb...
It turned out that Tuhai's Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers were useless, and the story of Zhu Heqi crying for his father and mother to run away when he was frightened with the divine thunder arrow has been written in the secret book, and Emperor Kangxi knew it.
If Wu Sangui's entire army goes north, it will be a "stuha". If Emperor Kangxi wants to maintain the dignity of the world's co-lord, he must follow... and he must let the entire army of the Eight Banners go south, and even have to drive himself to conquer!
If the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers come to cry for their father and mother again, the Qing Dynasty will be over immediately, and there will be no need for Zhu and Qi Fanhai to take Jiangning.
"Hmm..." Emperor Kangxi immediately understood, "Prince An is right! It is true that Wu Sangui can't be forced to jump over the wall. There are so many loyal ministers and good generals in my Qing Dynasty, and the chances of winning are sure, and there is no need to risk your life."
This Kangxi is still wise - Mayan is not as important as his head!So I would rather lose face than lose my life!
"Your majesty is holy!" Prince An Yue Le offered another flattery, and then continued, "Actually, Wu Sangui's best strategy is to head north and fight to the death! Shi Lang's navy has not yet formed an army, and Wu Sangui's army is far away. Jingjiang is not far away. If he really wants to cross the whole army north, there is no way we can stop him from crossing the river. And Jingzhou and Xiangyang in the north of the river are very empty right now!"
As soon as Prince An Yue Le reminded him, Kangxi also felt that the defenses in the Jingxiang area were a bit vain. He lowered his head and thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "The king of Shuncheng County, Leer, is skilled in bows and horses. , with prestige, he can serve as General Pingnan, commanding [-] troops from the Eight Banners, more than [-] Green Battalion, and go south to Jingzhou."
Hearing about this candidate, Prince An Yue Le didn't know what to say.Among other things, this Leerjin is only 20 years old this year, and he has never led troops to fight before.There are some people who are good at bowing and horses, that is, they often play rabbits with Emperor Kangxi.Good at military strategy..."Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are all very proficient.
But Yue Le couldn't object.Because the veteran generals of the Eight Banners are withered now, there are really not many who can serve as generals.Since there is no veteran, it can only be compared to reincarnation.Leerjin is the great-grandson of Daishan. Although his prince is only a county king, he is the small flag owner of the Zhenghong Banner, that is, a prince with a certain number of cattle records, and one of the eight iron hat kings.
And the configuration of the small banner master plus an iron hat king determines how many minions under Le Erjin!Although the owner of the Eight Banners and the other small banner owners who entered the eight points have been emptied by the capital, they can't control the affairs of the banner.But the banner owner's influence is still there!
So as soon as Leerjin was dispatched, there must be many servants in the red flag who wanted to follow him to seek a military background.Kangxi transferred 3000 people to Le Erjin from the Qianfeng Camp, Xiaoqi Camp, Xiaoqi Camp of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Huolei Camp of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.And Le Erjin, relying on the face of the prince who is the owner of the small flag, asked for slaves from the princes and ministers' homes under the Zhenghong flag, and maybe he could raise two or three thousand.
This is the Heavenly Soldiers of Five or Six Thousand and Eight Banners!
"Your Majesty," Yue Le thought for a long time, and did not raise any objection to Le Erjin's appointment, but recommended two assistants to him, "The slave recommends Tong Guoyao, the deputy commander of the Zhenglan Banner Han Army, and Shuo Dai, the commander of the Qianfeng Battalion. Military affairs, assist General Pingnan."
"Okay," Kangxi said, "with the help of Tong Guoyao and Shuo Dai, Leerjin will definitely be able to defend Jingzhou and Xiangyang for me.
In addition, Jiangxi can be divided into two, and northern Jiangxi can let Prince Kang Jieshu sit in town.Give him three thousand eight banner soldiers and seven thousand green battalion soldiers.
As for southern Jiangxi, it can be handed over to General Dingnan and Liu Jinzhong to guard together... let Liu Jinzhong be the admiral of southern Jiangxi! "
Prince Kang Jieshu is the banner owner of Zhenghong Banner and also the King of Iron Hats.His iron hat was handed down by Prince Li Daishan, even ironer than Leerjin's hat!
So using him to guard Nanchang and Jiujiang can be regarded as the best choice.
Moreover, Nanchang and Jiujiang are still the "second line" for the time being, and Sun Yanling and Liu Jinzhong are still in the more dangerous "first line", so the problem should not be big.
Seeing that Prince An Yue Le and the ministers in the South Study Room had no objection to his deployment, Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief, and finally ordered: "Rescuing soldiers is like putting out a fire. Today, we will send troops to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Eight Banners. Battalion, Xiaoqi Battalion, Baoyi Xiaoqi Battalion, Baoyi Huolei Battalion to transfer troops...The banner troops who will go out within three days must be in place, and they will go to Nanhaizi for a military parade in five days later!"
By the end of Kangxi's words, they had become cold and gloomy.Because at this time, Kangxi had already moved to kill Wu Shilin, Wu Yingxiong's son, and planned to kill him to sacrifice the flag during the Nanhaizi military parade five days later, to express his determination to fight to the end with Wu Sangui and Zhu Third Prince.
So after the dynasty was over, he immediately ordered people to go to Princess Jianning's Mansion in Shihu Hutong to arrest Wu Shilin, who had been under house arrest for a long time, and put him in the Shangfang Courtyard of the House of Internal Affairs. Surprised.
But when it came time to go to the Nanhaizi military parade, early in the morning, when Emperor Kangxi went to the Palace of Compassion to pay respects to the Empress Dowager’s grandma, Bumbutai, he got a big surprise in the Palace of Compassion—just happened to meet him who was going to kill him today. Wu Shilin in the head!
Although Wu Shilin was standing beside Bumubutai with his arms down and his shoulders bowed, he still startled Emperor Kangxi and yelled on the spot: "Wu, Wu...Wu Shilin, why did you escape from Shangfangyuan?" ? Come on, hurry up and escort me!"
As soon as he yelled, Bumbutai, who had grown old and turned into a fat, white-haired grandmother, giggled: "Your Majesty, what are you doing? How could Shilin run out of Shangfangyuan?" Can I get out of that place? I asked Aunt Su Mala to bring him up with my edict, and I can be regarded as his grandma, so I can't see him?"
Wu Shilin's mother, Princess Jianning, is the daughter of Huang Taiji, and Bumubutai is the Fujin of Huang Taiji, so she can be regarded as the concubine of Princess Jianning.So Bumbutai can barely be regarded as Wu Shilin's grandmother... His grandson is going to be beheaded today, so it's only right for his grandmother to see him for the last time.
Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said to Bumbutai: "Mum, you have already met Wu Shilin, can your grandson take him to Nanhaizi later?"
Bumubutai giggled, pointed at Kangxi, and said to Wu Shilin, who was already pale with fright: "Look, look... this is the emperor! He's going to kill you, and he's here smiling with you, just a little bit." Can’t even tell! Shilin, you have to learn a little from your cousin!”
Wu Shilin thumped and knelt down to Bumbutai, "Grandma, I don't dare! I really don't dare... Just tell the emperor to spare me!"
"Oh, you scared this child..." Bumu Butai asked Kangxi with a smile, "Your Majesty, if your Aunt Sizhen asks you to spare Shilin's life, will you agree?"
"Aunt Sizhen? Kong Sizhen?" Kangxi was taken aback, "Mum, Princess Dingnan wrote to you to beg for mercy for Wu Shilin?"
"That's right!" The grandmother Bumbutai looked at Kangxi, "Is there no one under your command who told you that Wu Shilin couldn't be killed?"
"Isn't it just Wu Shilin, why can't he kill him?"
Bumbutai shook his head, "Why don't you have someone like Yang Qilong under your command? Fortunately, I still have Kong Sizhen! She should have come to Wu Yingxiong's side by now, and made peace with Wu Sangui on our behalf."
"Reconciliation?" Kangxi shook his head, "Mam, how can you make peace? Clearing up thieves is not equal!"
Bumbutai smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I know what you think... If there is only Wu Sangui as our enemy now, I will definitely not stop you. But don't forget, our real enemy is not Wu Sangui, but Zhu Sangui Prince, third grandson of Zhu!"
Chapter 257 Zhu Hechi, the Public Enemy of Tartars and Traitors!
Kangxi stared blankly at the old grandma, with 1 disagreements in his heart.
How could Wu Sangui not be his mortal enemy?
This old guy deserves death!
If he hadn't raised his troops in Yunnan, how could this mess be so big now?No matter how much the Third Prince Zhu and the Third Grandson Zhu can fight, they will just sweep Guangdong.And the Qing Dynasty has the whole world except Guangdong. As long as there is a protracted war, the Qing Dynasty must win!
But now that Wu Sangui has rebelled, the four provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Hunan are in chaos... Although Zu Zeqing of Guangxi still claimed to be a "loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty" to the Qing court, Kangxi suspected that he was also loyal to the third prince Zhu and President Wu , Proper "Three Ministers"!
But what annoyed Kangxi the most was not Wu Sangui's rebellion, but Wu Yingxiong's escape.This matter is simply playing with him like Aixinjueluo Xuanye as a monkey.
How could such a big Mingjun be tricked like this?Are you saying that you are angry or not?
Bumubutai looked at his grandson, who was a little dazzled by anger, and nodded slightly - this is actually an affirmation of Kangxi!Because Kangxi hid his anger so well that he could barely see it.
This is called being indistinct!
Compared with Kangxi, both Wu Shilin and Wu Yingxiong are far behind, even Wu Sangui can't compare, only the third grandson of Zhu Heqi is the opponent!
Thinking of this, Bumbutai began to read poems.
"I smiled to the sky from the sidelines, to save the Kunlun..."
Kangxi was taken aback, his face had become very ugly.
Bumbutai said again: "The person who can write this poem in the death row is now the young master of Guangdong..."
Kangxi's face was so livid that it was about to turn black!
Because he already remembered how anxious he was when he first saw the anti-books such as "Renzike Gongshi Poems Collection" and "Dayi", "The World is Public", "Taking Righteousness into Benevolence", and "Shengsheng".
Compared with the territory and army transformed by Zhu Heqi with "original Confucianism", Wu Sangui's territory and army are nothing at all.
Moreover, although Wu Sangui has four provinces, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Hunan, among them there is not much population in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. Counting Hunan, which has not yet been completely controlled by Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui has a population of more than four million at most, which is more than that of Guangdong controlled by the Zhu family. Not much more.
If Zhu Heqi can take Guangxi and Fujian under the rectification of Guangdong, the population under his control is likely to exceed 600 million!
Looking at Geng Jingzhong's bear, he probably won't last long!
So Wu Sangui's strength just looks a little big, and his inner strength is far inferior to the third prince Zhu and the third grandson of Zhu!
Bumbutai said again: "Besides, Zhu and Yu are about the same age as you, and Wu Sangui has passed sixty this year, and he is getting old! How many years can he live? After Wu Sangui dies, your enemy will be Who? Is it Wu Yingxiong? Is it Wu Shilin? Or...Zhu Hechi?"
"It's Zhu Heqi!" Emperor Kangxi gritted his teeth.
Bumubutai suddenly looked at Wu Shilin, who was kneeling on the ground with a pale expression on his face, "Shilin, if you inherit the position of President, who will be your worst enemy?"
"Zhu Heqi! Zhu Heqi..." At this point, Wu Shilin felt wrong again, and quickly changed his words, "Grandma, I will not be the president, I am a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty!"
Bumbutai laughed and said, "Son, your president can't be from the north...even Jiangning can't even reach Jiangning, at most he can be a president who is partial to the Southwest, and this president can be fake or fake It belongs to me!"
"Yes... no, it must be from the Qing Dynasty! It must be from the Qing Dynasty!"
Wu Shilin was quite clever, and immediately understood that Bumbutai had shown him a way out!
"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Bumbutai looked at Emperor Kangxi again.
Kangxi sighed, "Okay, let's do it like this!"
He turned his head to look at Wu Shilin again and said, "Go back to your Shihu Hutong. After you go back, I will write a letter to you, Ama and Erniang, to persuade them well that the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan can be sealed by the court. If you think the population there is too small, then move the population of Hunan there.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty..." Wu Shilin narrowly escaped death, and had a chance to be the President, so of course he kowtowed like a slap in the face.
……
At the same time, Wu Shilin's Ama, Wu Yingxiong, was having breakfast with his "righteous sister" Kong Sizhen who came from afar in a mansion in Shaoyang County, Baoqing Prefecture, Hunan Province!
Kong Sizhen arrived in Baoqing two days ago. After arriving, he first went to the President Xingyuan to pay a visit to Wu Sangui, and then moved into the temporary residence of "Yi brother" Wu Yingxiong.
It's just to stay... My sister lives at my brother's house, it's not a big deal.
Wu Yingxiong's wife, Princess Jianning, stayed in Kunming with his second son Wu Shifan these days and did not follow the army.
Of course, Princess Jianning's position in the Wu family is still very secure.She has been with Wu Yingxiong since she was twelve or thirteen years old, she is a "grown" princess wife, and she has grown from a pink and tender loli to an aunt step by step.After spending so many years with Wu Yingxiong day and night, the old husband and wife have long been integrated into one.
Now that Aunt Jianning is gone by Wu Yingxiong's side, to be honest, I still miss her.Having a righteous sister to accompany him relieved Wu Yingxiong's loneliness.
So today Wu Yingxiong was in a good mood and had a good appetite. After eating a big bowl of Yunnan rice noodles, he talked to Kong Sizhen contentedly.
"Fourth sister, we haven't seen each other for many years. I didn't expect to meet again in Hunan."
Kong Sizhen smiled sweetly: "It's been almost seven or eight years... The last time we met was in the fourth year of Kangxi, before Nu and Yanling went to Guangxi for dinner. I didn't expect that the sky would change in a blink of an eye. Brother, you What do you think? Do you really want to help the Zhu family conquer the world again?"
"Helping the Zhu family conquer the world?" Wu Ying Xiong smiled, "What name does the old man use? Presidential Marshal... This is not from the Zhu family! Moreover, the old man's year name is Chongzhen 46 years, and this is not Zhu San." The crown prince's year name, they use the second year of Dingwang Jianguo. Sister, don't you understand?"
"I don't quite understand!" Kong Sizhen smiled, "Brother, how much do you plan to get in the world? Three points? Two points? If you want three points, you have Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Hunan... Are you not satisfied?
To divide the world into two...Since ancient times, there has been only north and south, no east and west! "
"Sister, what do you mean?" Wu Yingxiong looked at Kong Sizhen with a smile.
Kong Sizhen said with a smile: "The slaves have come to Shaoyang, what else can it mean? The father of the slaves made Emperor Chongzhen suffer, so can his son spare the slaves?"
Wu Yingxiong smiled and said: "Sister, don't worry, stay here with me, nothing will happen... Your two sons also let them come over, don't stay in Ganzhou Mansion, it's too dangerous!"
"Dangerous? Brother Wu, you mean..." Kong Sizhen looked at Wu Yingxiong.
Wu Yingxiong deliberately lowered his voice, and leaned into Kong Sizhen's ear again, "Liu Jinzhong is from the Yongwei camp. He is the servant of Emperor Chongzhen, and he has already secretly contacted Guangzhou!"
Kong Sizhen's expression changed, "Is this true?"
Wu Yingxiong nodded: "Liu Jinzhong also sent an envoy to Shaoyang, one day later than you... You should know that it is the original Guangdong Tixue Xue Zhang! He told the old man that another envoy of Liu Jinzhong, the original Chaozhou Prefecture Tongzhi Fengming Mountain is already on the way to Guangzhou."
He looked at the face of Kong Sizhen's middle-aged and young lady, "Fourth sister, you and your brother-in-law are both on Liu Jinzhong's arrest list!"
Kong Sizhen frowned: "I will send Dai Liangchen to the Ganzhou Mansion immediately, and I will definitely bring out my two sons!"
Wu Yingxiong smiled and said, "I'll do you a favor. I'll write a letter to Sun Yanling, saying that the President can let him go to Guangxi as a general, but he has to hand over his two sons as protons first."
"Okay!" Kong Sizhen nodded heavily, and then looked at Wu Yingxiong gratefully, "Brother Wu, from now on, my little sister can only rely on you to live."
Wu Yingxiong patted his chest, "Leave it on me... We are brothers and sisters who are married to Jinlan!"
Chapter 258 Liberation!
Guangzhou, Tianzi Ferry Terminal.
It was more than a year ago when I came back to Guangzhou from Fengming Mountain and was promoted to Tongzhi of Chaozhou Prefecture.But when I came to Guangzhou after such a not-so-long period of time, I felt like a world away.
