The great lama gave Wu Sangui special products from Qinghai, which has a deep meaning in it!
Seeing Kangxi standing there in a daze, Hong Shiming didn't know what to say?It seems inappropriate to speak now about the matter of an official, right?
But if you don't want to be an official... how will you live in the future?
At this moment, Emperor Kangxi suddenly spoke, his tone was firm, without the slightest intention of compromise, "Hong Shiming, go back and tell Wu Sangui that I am the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, or Enhe Amugulang Khan of Great Mongolia! Not only There are Heavenly Soldiers of the Eight Banners, Mongolian warriors, and soldiers of all ethnic groups inside and outside the Great Wall. I have no less than a million armored men... Not to mention his [-] rebels, even if he comes with Zhu and Qi, I will not be afraid.
Not only will I not retreat to the outside of the pass, but I will also wipe him out and Zhu Heqi one by one, so that the world will return to the unity of my Qing Dynasty!You tell him, let him wait for my heavenly soldiers! "
"The slave is taking the order!" Hong Shiming saw Kangxi looking like he was going to eat people, so he didn't dare to ask for an official, so he accepted Kangxi's order and continued to run errands as a messenger.
Chapter 413 Go, save Zhu Yuanzhang!
Zhenjiang Mansion, Gaozi Town.
This small town located near the border between Zhenjiang and Jiangning has now become a sea of "killing people and Confucianism".Tens of thousands of "armed Confucian scholars" in red clothes and red scarves or red clothes and yellow scarves have arrived here one after another since August [-]th.
However, they did not immediately go west to Jiangning Mansion to rescue the tomb of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty who was "kidnapped" by Sun Sike, but set up defenses in Gaozi Town, patiently waiting for the arrival of follow-up troops.
It was not until August 28 that the flag of "Da Ming Jian Guo", which symbolized the supreme power of the new Ming Dynasty, marched into Gaozi Town under the protection of thousands of cuirassiers.
These thousands of cuirass grenadiers can't be bought casually, they are the "black technology" troops of the 17th century!
First of all, the thousands of pairs of breastplates equipped by these cavalry are not available to anyone - they are made of graphite crucible steel, and then repeatedly hammered with a hydraulic hammer and hand!
It can be said to be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and expensive, but it has extremely strong defensive power. At a distance of twenty or thirty steps, it can even withstand the firepower of a shotgun.
Before Zhu Heqi led his troops to leave Guangzhou, the new Ming court, which had the strongest iron smelting industry in East Asia, could not produce a thousand pairs of such breastplates!After all, Foshan Iron Industry had just started building blast furnaces with dolomite bricks at that time, and was trying to make coke and graphite crucible steel.The production capacity has not yet been formed, and a small amount of crucible steel is still used for the production of flintlock guns.So when Zhu Hechi sent troops, there were less than [-] pairs of steel breastplates in the whole army.
However, at the end of August, with the continuous arrival of steel breastplates, Zhu Heqi was finally able to equip all the thousand cavalrymen belonging to the two towns with strong breastplates!
In addition to the breastplate made of graphite crucible steel, this elite cavalry also has another weapon that also uses graphite crucible steel in large quantities-the flintlock!
In fact, Zhu Heqi's army had already begun to equip a small amount of flintlock guns. After he captured Foshan Town, he began to issue orders for flintlock guns to the furnace households in Foshan.Although at the beginning, the quality of the flintlock guns made by the furnace owners was poor, and the one-time ignition rate was less than [-]%, which was far inferior to the turtledove foot muskets ignited with matchlocks.Moreover, due to the poor quality of iron materials, the flintlock guns produced are heavier than the original Western goods.So much so that the musketeers of the Xinming Army refused to ask for these flintlocks, preferring to use turtledove-footed muskets.
So at that time, Zhu Heqi could only equip the officers and cavalry with flintlock pistols—the officers were equipped with flintlock pistols.The cavalry also did not rely on flintlock guns to conquer the world, they were all soldiers on horseback throwing grenades.
However, with the emergence of graphite crucible steel and Foshan Iron Industry gradually grasped the key to the production of flintlock guns... the batch of flintlock guns sent to the front lines in the south of the Yangtze River in August finally passed the standard!
Since the flintlock guns produced by Xin Daming were all pistols and short-barreled cavalry guns at the beginning.
Therefore, the flintlock guns sent to Jiangnan in August were still pistols and cavalry guns.
The new iron fist rocket launchers were also sent to the Jiangnan front line one after another.This new rocket launcher was designed by Leibniz with the help of Zhu Heqi.He repeatedly calculated the amount of black powder and the weight of the warhead, and finally came up with a "long-range iron fist" with a range of about 35 steps.
The "bullets" equipped by the cuirassiers who escorted Zhu Heqi to the front of Gaozi Town were the latest iron fist rocket launchers!
In addition, this cavalry is also equipped with a "low-tech" but very effective weapon-the hollow wooden spear.
This kind of riding spear, which is more popular on the Eastern European battlefield, was also "brought" to Zhu Heqi by Leibniz.The signature weapon of the Polish hussars was hollow, so it weighed less and could be made longer.Moreover, this kind of wooden spear will break by itself when it stabs the enemy, so as to achieve the purpose of unloading the force, so there is no need to let go and it will not cause wrist injuries.The disadvantage is, of course, that it is more expensive and not very durable.
However, Zhu Heqi's cavalry is limited, and the typical "special warfare elites" can of course spend their equipment regardless of the cost.
And this time the battle of "rescue Zhu Yuanzhang" has to be fought by these cuirassiers in "local tyrant outfits"!
"Looking forward to Daming, welcoming Daming, opening the city gates to vote for Daming, when Daming comes, he will not be a slave..."
When the Daming "local tyrant cavalry" arrived in Gaozi Town, the traditional "singing welcome" ceremony was staged again.
Although Zhu Heqi has not yet entered the former territory of Yingtianfu in Nanjing, the gentry and common people who sang "Welcome to the Ming Dynasty" in Gaozi Town this time are all under the banner of "Nanjing Elders"!
Look, this is what people want!
The people of Nanjing couldn't wait any longer, and they all ran to the border of Zhenjiang Prefecture to welcome Zhu Dajian!
"Chen Youjun Zuo Chunqiu, welcome His Royal Highness Jian Guo Taisun!"
"Minister Da Ming Liaodong Town Cavalry Commander Qian Zuda, welcome His Royal Highness Jian Guo Taisun..."
It was a person from Tianjin and a person from Liaodong who led this group of Nanjing gentry and common people to Zhenjiang to welcome Daming.
That Tianjin native was Zuo Chunqiu, who replaced Yang Qilong as the right military adviser after Yang Qilong went north to launch an armed uprising—the "Welcoming Daming" activities in Zhejiang and Jiangnan were so well done, except that the people in Jiangnan really missed Daming. Under the leadership of the military division, the special agents of the right division of the military division's office are credited.
When the oolong incident of "rebellion and rebellion went wrong" happened in Jiangning City, the Zuo Dajun was leading his men to lurk in Jiangning City... more than [-] yuan of money has been thrown out!
It's hard to say how much the people in Jiangning City love Daming, but those "heroes" who can enjoy both black and white have already personally felt the heavy love from the Grandson of the Supervisor of the Ming Dynasty!
And that Zu Da who claimed to be the cavalry commander of Liaodong Town did not necessarily love Daming very much, but he really hated Daqing!The killing method of the Qing Dynasty has always been fierce, and the ancestors of the Liaodong family have been on the front line of fighting against the Qing Dynasty for a long time. Naturally, many people died, some of them were killed on the battlefield, and some of them were family members slaughtered by the Qing army... ...This hate, some people can forget it, but the old man can't forget it!
So when there was a commotion that day, he immediately seized the opportunity to incite the servants of his ancestral family to defect, coercing the two brothers Zu Yonglie and Zu Chenglie to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.
Afterwards, Zuo Chunqiu and Zuo Da naturally got in touch... The righteousness of the nation, the appointment of an official and the wish, and the white money, not only the loyalty of Zuo Da to Ming, but also the two brothers Zu Yonglie and Zu Chenglie. The ancestral family who were coerced also felt that Daming was better.Today, the two of them also came to Gaozi Town to welcome Daming with Zu Da and Zuo Chunqiu.
After Zuo Chunqiu and Zuo Da saluted and greeted them, the two ancestors in red robes and red scarves also strode forward and bowed to Zhu and Qi.
Zhu Heqi laughed and helped the two of them up, and then said to them with a smile: "The two of you raised the flag of righteousness in Nanjing City and regained the old capital of Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop. Big report!"
The father of these two people, Zu Kefa, followed Zu Dashou to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, he was appointed a general soldier, but he died within a few days.And the two of them just took up their jobs and dawdled around, and they were not big villains, they were just drifters in troubled times.The incident in Nanjing this time was actually coerced by others.
But Zhu Heqi still wanted to set them up as role models, not for anything else, but to show those in Beijing who were either forced or reincarnated into the Eight Banners Han Army.
"Thank you for your kindness!" Zu Yonglie saluted first, and then said: "Grandson, now the traitor Sun Sike is still entrenched in Zijin Mountain, holding the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu, I am worried all day and night, and there is no way to save him. Really ashamed."
Zu Chenglie also said: "That's right, then Sun Sikenan is the son of Sun Degong, he is stubborn, and he refuses to submit to me, Daming no matter what!"
Zhu Heqi asked, "Have you sent someone to persuade you to surrender?"
Zuo Chunqiu said: "I have already persuaded... But Sun Sike is not even willing to talk about it!"
Zu Da gritted his teeth and said: "This boy is the stone in the latrine, it is smelly and hard!"
"Where are his subordinates? Are they all willing to die together?"
Zu Dao Dao: "His subordinates are either Chen Baqi or the new Baqi who was born as a slave whose family was detained, and he will not surrender."
Zhu Hechi nodded and said solemnly: "The lonely family came here to save Emperor Taizu's mausoleum. If they refuse to surrender, they are seeking their own death...Come on, let's find a place to discuss it!"
Chapter 414 Let's fight with love!
"Your Highness Jian Guo, although this Sun Sike's father is a rotten man who betrays the country and seeks glory, but this kid is a ruthless man who does not want money, officials, or life, and wholeheartedly serves as a slave of the Qing Dynasty!"
"His Royal Highness Jian Guo, this Sun Sike is also famous in the Qing Yao Banner Circle for being able to fight and be tough. The way he is sure must be all the way to the black! And this kid is really good at fighting! From Qing Yao to the pass He followed suit from the beginning. Although he had the rank of general soldier early in the morning, he didn't want to seek a fat job, so he hired himself to lead the army in Gansu, the most difficult and dangerous place!"
"His Royal Highness, as you may know, Qing Yao's army leads soldiers for more or less money, but instead of making money, this kid leads soldiers and puts money into it from time to time... So he also has the heart of the army. All the subordinates are willing to die for him. And he is also proficient in military strategy. He has fought against the Oirat Mongols many times in Gansu these years, and he won every battle!"
"Although he won a lot of victories, Kang Mazi didn't like him very much... He never got promoted, and he didn't give him a fat job. He always stayed in that miserable place in Gansu. But he wasn't afraid of hardship, he could He is happy to shed blood and sweat for the Qing Yao court!"
In a mansion in Gaozi Town, Zhu Heqi, who had just arrived at the front line, was presiding over a military meeting.
At the beginning of the military discussion, Zu Da, Zu Yonglie, and Zu Chenglie told Zhu Hechi about Sun Sike's way of being an official and general.
After hearing the descriptions of these three "insiders", Zhu Heqi knew that he was in a bit of trouble.
Because this Sun Sike seems to be a master who not only has real skills, but also loves the Qing Dynasty very much-this is the kind of person Sun Sike in history is!He has worked for the guns and bullets of the Qing Dynasty all his life, from Li Zicheng to Galdan, and when he was alive, he was the admiral of Gansu at the most, and his only job was Tusha Lahafan, that is, Captain Yunqi.
During the Qianlong period, Emperor Qianlong felt embarrassed, so he granted the Sun family a hereditary first-class baron.
Of course, the admiral and the chief soldier are not small.But Sun Sike is his slave!Above the admiral, there are Dutong, Manchurian general, governor, governor, minister of the guard, six Manchu books, bachelor, etc., he can all be appointed.
But Kangxi just refused to give it!
Not only are such high-ranking officials not given important positions, but they are also picky about world titles and titles, even a baron is not willing to give them.
But no matter how hard Kangxi is, he can't hold back Sun Sike's true love for the Qing Dynasty!
Historically, because of Kangxi's restrictions on the equipment of green camps equipped with firearms, he thought that Kangxi had no money, so he paid out of his own pocket to help Gansu green camps buy firearms to fight Galdan...but Kangxi was still unwilling!
After listening to the words of the three ancestors, Zhu Heqi turned his attention to Zuo Chunqiu again, "Military Master, what price did you offer for the surnamed Sun?"
"A gold medal for immunity, 10 taels of silver, and a general soldier." Zuo Chunqiu said, "Jianguo, this is the highest authority you have given me."
"Is there anything else to talk about?" Zhu Heqi asked.
Zuo Chunqiu shook his head, "The envoys sent out never returned!"
"Killed?" Zhu Heqi frowned, "He is surrounded like this, how dare he kill our envoy? I really don't want to live, do I?"
"Jianguo," Zu Yonglie reminded, "he is really not afraid of death... and he is absolutely devoted to Qingyao. Even if you give him a governor, he will not be tempted."
"Then add an earl on top of the governor!" Zhu Heqi laughed and said, "I'll give him twice as much money... Besides, let's send him another soldier!"
Recruiting Sun Sike is of course the best policy!
Because Zhu Heqi had already received the "urgent express delivery" sent by Huang Zongxi, he already knew that Wu Sangui had made up his mind to make the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains.His [-] troops are about to set off soon!
However, Zhu Heqi's army was still involved in the Anqing Daying, Jiangnan Daying, and Jiangbei Daying camps, so it was difficult to send a large army northward.
Although Zhu Heqi had already sent Yang Qilong northward, he still planned to send troops north to Zhili by sea.
But this is a small fight after all... No matter how hard Yang Qilong is, he can bring in 4000 Mongolian soldiers, which is already the top of the sky, and the righteous people in Beizhili can come out with [-] to [-], and it is about the end. Zhu Tianwang has the most At most three to [-] people will be pulled out.
Therefore, Zhu Heqi had to solve the Qing army's Jiangnan camp in Zijin Mountain as soon as possible. If they could buy Sun Sike, it would be worth paying a little more.
If not... would others be willing to surrender?
Sun Sike has true love for Daqing, so what about others?Is it true love too?Kang Mazi isn't that cute, is he?
Thinking of this, Zhu Heqi shouted: "Mr. Wan!"
"Chen is here!"
The one who agreed was Wan Sida, the new Jiangnan chief envoy.
Zhu Heqi was able to "take all of Jiangnan" this time, and the credit of Huang Zongxi and Wan Sida is also indispensable.
Taking down Jiangnan with his military strength is not too difficult, but if there is no Jiangnan regiment to practice self-defense, the Qing army will kill tens of thousands of people and burn a few rich and famous cities when they retreat. of.
The tax revenue that a famous city in the south of the Yangtze River can contribute to the Ming court can easily be worth a mansion or even several mansions in the north!
Therefore, Huang Zongxi's master and apprentice are considered successful in speculation, and now they can get dividends.In terms of dividends, Zhu Heqi is much more stylish than Kangxi!
"Mr. Wan," Zhu Heqi said, "Do you think Sun Sike's actions look like a kidnapper? The ancestor who kidnapped my family wants me to pay a high price?"
"This..." Vance thought for a while, "It's really a bit like...but this Sun Sike won't take money!"
Zhu Hechi laughed and said, "Some people want money, some people want power, some people want names, some people want righteousness... Which one do you think Sun Sike is?"
"Him?" Vance thought for a while, "Could it be Tuyi?"
Zhu Hechi smiled: "I don't think so, what he's drawing is love!"
"Love?" Vance said with a big heart, "Didn't you let me choose among money, power, name, and righteousness? How can love come out?"
"He really loves Kang Mazi..." Zhu Heqi sighed, "What a pity!"
"Icon Pockmark?" Vance thought earnestly. "Sounds like adultery!"
Zhu Hechi said again: "Mr. Wan, do you think that the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River love the Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty more, or that Sun Sike loves Kang Mazi more?"
"This...of course, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River loves the Emperor Taizu more!" Wan Si said solemnly, "If Sun Sike loves Kangxi again, that is the love of one person. But there are tens of thousands of gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, and everyone loves the Emperor Taizu." Little by little, little will add up, and it will far surpass Sun Sike's love for one person!"
"Good point!" Zhu Heqi nodded, "Mr. Wan, tell me how they should show their love for Emperor Taizu?"
"Pay!" Wan Sida said, "Now that Sun Sike's men have tied up Emperor Taizu's grave, the Jiangnan gentry should pay to redeem Emperor Taizu's grave!"
Zhu Hexi nodded repeatedly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wan is indeed my Daming's arm...but the Gu family also loves the people, and the Gu family will never treat the gentry and common people who are willing to contribute money and efforts to Daming."
"I know," Wan Sitong said immediately, "the gentry people in Guangdong, especially the gentry people in Chaozhou and Guangfu, have received a lot of grace from the state!"
Zhu Hechi nodded and said with a smile, "Mr. Wan, you really love Daming!"
Of course Wan Sida loves Daming, especially since he lost him too!
Only when you lose it will you know how precious it is!
And the current new Daming is much better than the original old Daming!
Zhu Hechi said to Vance Avenue: "Sun Sike really loves Kang Mazi, but those under him will not love Kang Mazi that much. I will give them ten years of military pay at a time...as long as they are willing to surrender! 1 people need about 100 More than 100 taels. Although it is a lot of money, more than [-] million is definitely not enough to blow up Taizu's grave and rebuild it!
For this more than 100 million, you let the gentry and rich men in Jiangnan come out...you need the gentry from the six prefectures of Jiangning, Suzhou, Changzhou, Taicang, Zhenjiang, and Songjiang to come out!
Anyone who has contributed money will be recorded. After Jiangnan is settled down, the lonely family will not treat them badly. "
Chapter 415 Grandson is filial, here to redeem ancestors!
The third year of King Ding of the Ming Dynasty supervised the country, on the tenth day of the ninth lunar month.
The morning wind blows coldly over the big golden gate, the main gate of the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty. The inside and outside of the gate are heavily guarded, but outside the gate, there is still no sign of the Ming army.
The main entrance of this Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum has been transformed into a real fortress by Sun Sike's people!
The roof of the yellow glazed tiles has been demolished, leaving only the bare brick walls and the stone Xumizuo under the walls.The place that was originally used to build the roof is now surrounded by sandbags and turned into a city tower.The space above the big golden gate is not small, with a width of more than eight feet and a depth of less than three feet.About [-] square meters, the circle is a small fortress, and it is very strong!
