Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Hong Shiming went on to say: "President, madam, the envoys of the Qing Dynasty, Sang'e and Alani, have arrived at Jiangling Mansion... They came with the minister in the name of condolences to the late President!"

Chapter 487: Qing Zhou Alliance, Why Shame!

Jiangling City, the Presidential Palace, and the Golden Palace.

"The surname Zhu really doesn't have a good thing. In order to restore the country for the third prince Zhu, my late father did not hesitate to lure the Qing soldiers into the pass to eliminate the rebels. Li, the false emperor, did not hesitate to bear the infamy of being a traitor and national traitor... and later, regardless of his age, he raised troops to help the third prince Zhu and the third grandson of Zhu win a third of the world. To be honest, how can my late father feel sorry for the surnamed Zhu? Father and son? But how did they repay? They actually poisoned the garlic medicine given to my late father for treatment!"

It was Wu Yingxiong who was tearfully accusing Zhu Hechi.Regarding the process of his father Wu Sangui's murder, what he told Wu Yingqi and what he told the gentry, civilians, officers, soldiers, and middle-level and low-level officials in the Dazhou territory were completely different things.

He told Wu Yingqi that Kong Sizhen sent someone to secretly buy those garlic medicines... Wu Yingqi knew about it!

But not many people know the truth!

So Wu Yingxiong could be deceived. He told others that the garlic medicine was given to Wu Sangui by Zhu Heqi.

Because Zhou and Ming were very warm on the surface before, and they did give each other gifts several times before.

The garlic medicine in Zhu Heqi's hands is not only effective for diarrhea and other diseases, but also an excellent medicine for wounds. It is very normal to give some to Wu Sangui!

Many big businessmen in Hankou who often go to Ming trade have bought back this "miracle medicine" at a high price through their connections, let alone a person with an identity like Wu Sangui?

Because some people have bought genuine garlic medicine, so many people also know how the garlic medicine is packaged?

By the way, the milk porcelain used to hold garlic medicine is still a rare treasure!

A small porcelain bottle can't be taken down without ten or eight taels of silver!

Because the garlic medicine is packaged in small bottles and small bottles, one bottle is the amount of a meal.So it is impossible to test every bottle of poison!

The drug testers have finished drinking, what should the patients drink?

Therefore, it is completely reasonable to take out a bottle of garlic medicine from the ten bottles to test the poison.And if Zhu Heqi wanted to poison Wu Sangui to death, as long as he poisoned one of the ten bottles of garlic medicine, he would be very likely to succeed... When testing the poison, one out of ten, there is only a one-tenth chance of being tricked.And Wu Sangui drank from the bottle, always drinking the poisoned bottle of garlic medicine.

The above statement is completely logical!

Therefore, in Wu Yingxiong's territory and the army under his control, the vast majority of people believed that Zhu Hechi was the "true murderer of Guangxi".

And Wu Yingxiong has repeatedly insisted on this statement...only when his brother Wu Yingqi seriously questioned it, he had no choice but to throw out the "Kong Sizhen's true murderer theory".

But that's just to Wu Yingqi, he wouldn't say that to those people in Wu Zhou's country.

Because Kong Sizhen and Wu Sangui didn't have any hatred, she must be ordered to do this.Besides Wu Yingxiong, the only person who can instruct Kong Sizhen is Bumbutai!

Of course Wu Yingxiong himself could not admit to killing his father, and the only real culprit behind the scenes was Bumbutai... But if Bumbutai was the real culprit, then why did Zhou and Qing have such an alliance?

At this time, the people who were listening to Wu Yingxiong's accusation of Zhu Heqi's evil deeds were the envoys Sang'e and Alani sent by the Qing Dynasty to mourn Wu Sangui.

I have to say that Emperor Kangxi's pockmarked face really means that he doesn't want it... The black flag of Dazhou has been planted on the Forbidden City for a whole day!

Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong's "Ziqian Zhou" took away his upright and bright plaque and the Daqing gate plaque.

Now he actually sent envoys to mourn Wu Sangui, and even sent the dharani scriptures that he planned to cover himself...

Now the two envoys of Kangxi heard Wu Yingxiong say that Zhu Heqi had poisoned Wu Sangui to death, and they both showed expressions of righteous indignation. It seemed that they really believed Wu Yingxiong's statement.

"It's really shameless!" Alani, the first-class bodyguard who was particularly talkative, followed Wu Yingxiong's words, "President, in fact, the despicable and shameless deeds committed by the third grandson of Zhu are not limited to this one... Our Qing Dynasty also discovered the ironclad evidence that the third grandson of Zhu colluded with the remnant of the Yuan Dynasty, Burni!

It was with his help that Burni was able to attack Beijing successfully!Those who helped Burni open the gate of Beijing were a group of remnants of the former Ming under the command of Zhu Hechi! "

"What?" Wu Yingxiong stood up abruptly from the president's dragon chair, "How dare he collude with Burni? Burni is a direct descendant of the Golden Family, and he wants to restore the Great Yuan Dynasty!"

"The Great Yuan Dynasty has been restored!" Sang E gritted his teeth and said, "Burney took the throne in the Forbidden City under the pretext of being the first to enter Beijing to rule the world... The third grandson Zhu is going to sell their Ming ancestor's foundation to the Yuan Dynasty!"

"What? There is such a thing!"

"How could Zhu and Qi do such a thing?"

"It's really rebellious, rebellious and unfilial!"

"Even if Hongwu is reborn, Zhu Heqi will not be able to spare this thief!"

"His family's ancestors expelled the Tartars, but he lured wolves into the house... This new Ming Dynasty is indeed a false dynasty!"

There was an uproar in the Golden Palace of the Presidential Palace.

The gang of traitors under Wu Yingxiong were shocked!

They originally thought that they were the only ones who could do such a shameless thing of colluding with the Tartars, but they didn't expect that the so-called saint Zhu Heqi was so shameless!

This is really outrageous!

"President!" Alani saw that the fire was almost ready, so he hurriedly added more fire, "Now Yuan and Ming have formed an alliance, and we are going to deal with Daqing and Dazhou together... If our two countries continue to be hostile to each other, it won't be long. , the Yuan and Ming Dynasties will divide the world equally! And the iron hoofs of the Mongols will definitely enter the Central Plains again, and it will be a disaster at that time!"

Sang E said: "President, you are the uncle of the Qing Emperor, and you are from China like the Qing Emperor. Now you should unite as one and fight against Yuan Yuming... Protect the world and save China!"

The people in the Golden Palace of the Presidential Palace who said this were all stunned.Some people doubted that this Sang E was really sent by Kangxi?

Wu Yingxiong's confidant, Hong Shiming, saw the awkwardness, and immediately took over the conversation, and said tearfully: "President, if this day falls, you will be a sinner who will perish!

The Mongols have risen, and we Han people are about to suffer. The current situation is even more critical than the four kingdoms of Mongolia, Jin, Xia, and Song after the rise of Genghis Khan!At that time, you still had the entire southern land in the Southern Song Dynasty, but now the south is divided equally between Zhou and Ming. Once the Mongols rule the north, China will perish! "

Wu Yingxiong's in-law Guo Zhuangtu also said: "President, we must not repeat the mistakes of the Southern Song Dynasty when they united with Mongolia to destroy gold... The current plan must be to unite with the Qing Dynasty, resist the Yuan Dynasty, and protect China!"

As soon as the two of them took the lead, all the Wu and Zhou officials below reacted, and immediately followed up to express their stance, and they all overwhelmingly supported the line of "uniting the Qing Dynasty and resisting the Yuan Yuming".

In fact, after the battle of Zhuxian Town, these people have already tended to unite the Qing Dynasty against the Ming Dynasty.For them, preserving vested interests is the most important thing, other things can be sloppy, but this one can't be sloppy.The biggest threat to their vested interests now is not the Qing Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty!

It's just that they don't have a reasonable "righteousness" and can't shout loudly.Wu Sangui's death from poisoning gave them an excuse, but it was still a bit "false".

And when Sang'e and Burni revealed the inside story of the Beijing Rebellion and Yuan Ming's alliance, the gang of traitors finally found a reason.

Wu Yingxiong saw that most of the people below were in favor of this matter, so he quickly took advantage of this slope to go down, so he nodded and said: "Zhu Heqi poisoned his father, and colluded with Meng Yuan, intending to emulate Shi Jingtang. The president inherited the will of the former president, although he does not have the courage of the former president, but he still has the determination to protect the vitality of the world from being completely lost..." He stood up straight, with a solemn face, and his eyes were piercing. The people below said, "The president's intention has been decided. I will be in the Great Zhou Dynasty and unite with the Qing Dynasty to resist the Yuan and Yuming, so as to protect the world!"

Chapter 488 Protect the Great Qing Dynasty and Confucianism!

It's already a season of crisp autumn outside the mouth. There is no cloud in the sky, but it is blue, which looks very bright and transparent.On the grasslands around Dolon Nuoer, golden pastures are covered everywhere, the Shangdu River meanders, and the seven lakes that flow through it are shining with the color of gold under the sunlight.

Just on this piece of grassland surrounded by seven lakes in the southeast of the Chahar Grassland and north of the Yanshan Mountains, thousands of tents of various colors suddenly appeared at this time, scattered in groups on a particularly huge golden Around the yellow tent.

On the outskirts of this large number of tent areas, there is also a circle of "Gulieyan" vehicles surrounded by carts. On the outside of "Gulieyan", there is also a circle of repelling carbine guns, which are used to guard against possible enemy cavalry.On the inside of "Gulieyan", there will be cavalry wearing Eight Banners cotton armor patrolling past from time to time.

The entire camp was heavily guarded, as if facing an enemy.

And near the camp, on a flattened open space beside the Shangdu River, countless shirtless men were sweating profusely, ramming the earth to build a city... a building that occupies quite a large area and looks a bit like a ridge. The castle of the castle is taking shape bit by bit.

The castle is named Duolunuoer City, which is a sign that Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty "defeated" the Emperor Tianyou of the Yuan Dynasty and established the ruling power in the former capital of the Yuan Dynasty!

Wu Yingqi's guess was correct, Emperor Kangxi did miss the old place in Yuanshangdu, and did not find Burni's main force here.

But Emperor Kangxi's "flipping the air" this time is not without meaning.Through this armed demonstration on the Chahar Grassland, Kangxi can at least prove to the Mongols who are swinging between Burni and him that the Qing Dynasty's force is still very strong, surpassing Burni!

In addition, Emperor Kangxi also took advantage of this exit to set up three local governments in the southeast of the Chahar Grassland, Zhangjiakou Office, Dushikou Office, and Duolunuoer Office, which were in charge of the affairs of the bannermen and Han people.

Kangxi also circled a series of pastures such as the Eight Banners Ranch, Yuma Farm, Taipusi Ranch, and Libu Ranch on the Chahar Grassland... He planned to recruit some Han people who could herd from the pass, plus some scattered Mongolian People, turn them into leaders and leaders, and let them go to those pastures to build fortifications and shepherds.

After these Dingmuzuolings belonging to the Eight Banners established a firm foothold in the southeast of the Chahar Grassland, it will be difficult to communicate with Burni and the host Mongolian Three Leagues.

And Kangxi will later deploy heavy troops on the territory of the Xilin Gol League to the north of the third hall outside the mouth, so that while controlling several banners under the Xilinguole League, he can also threaten Mobei Mongolia so that they will not fall to Burni.

Therefore, although Emperor Kangxi failed to capture Burni this time, it was not for nothing. At least he kept the four alliances of the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia, and he also let the Eight Banners in Beijing vent their grievances.

Kangxi also took the opportunity to remove a few Zhasak Mongolian flags that had no clear relationship with Burni, and distributed the captured women to the Eight Banners whose wives were plundered by Burni... This can also be regarded as strengthening the nation Let's fuse!

Now Kangxi, who had finished inspecting the construction site of Dolon Nuoer City, was eating barbecue in his golden-roofed tent, while chatting about reforms with his most confidant Nanshufang ministers.

Different from the serious atmosphere where the emperor sat and the ministers stood and kneeled in the past, this is not a formal test occasion, but Kangxi treats guests to barbecue.

Moreover, everyone bakes it by themselves, and cuts off the cooked meat with a small knife to dip in the ingredients.

The atmosphere is really quite relaxed.

……

"Today, I received a report from Sang'er and Alani, saying that they have already negotiated an alliance with Wu Yingxiong... Wu Yingxiong also agreed that Wu Yingqi will be under the jurisdiction of our Qing Dynasty! Anyway, it is always good-looking. Quite a lot. The lost land in Henan has been recovered. In addition, we have been successful in the Monan grassland. We have saved the pastures and herdsmen of the four alliances, and we have also cleared up a few Zasak banners that colluded with Burni, Mongolia It doesn't seem like a big problem here."

Kangxi's tone was very relaxed, giving people a feeling of comfort.However, Yue Le, Tu Hai, Ming Zhu, Xiong Cilu, and Wang Fuchen, who were eating barbecue with him, all knew that the reason why the situation in the Qing Dynasty can be a little bit easier is actually because the new Ming Dynasty stopped its expansion on its own initiative.

And the reason why New Daming stopped expanding was mostly because he became fat in one bite in the early stage, so it took time to digest and absorb and tidy up the interior.

Once the internal reorganization of the new Ming Dynasty is completed, a new round of expansion will begin!

However, the two or three years during the Ming Dynasty's internal rectification were also precious to the Qing Dynasty...because the Qing Dynasty itself could use this time to carry out a series of drastic reforms.

"Your Majesty," Xiong Cilu said, "I have also calmed down these days to study some of Zhu Ni's works...mainly on the original Confucianism."

There are many works by Zhu Hechi!

Holy man!

Of course it can be written.

However, most of his works Xiong Cilu couldn't understand, such as magic, arithmetic, and physics.Even if these books were placed in front of Xiong Cilu, he would not be able to read them.What's more, this kind of books are all "anti-proliferation". Only Haizhu University, the newly established Jinling University in Nanjing, and the Hanlin Academy (Academy of Magic) have more advanced books.

Therefore, Xiong Cilu can only study the original Confucian works of Zhu Heqi.

"Did you find anything?" Emperor Kangxi asked with a smile.

"I have researched something," Xiong Cilu said, "It is something that the servants and others have ignored before."

"what?"

Xiong Cilu gritted his teeth and said: "The servant discovered that Zhu Heqi, who falsely called the saint of Confucianism, is actually the enemy of Confucianism!"

"How to say?" Kangxi asked.

"Confucianism originally taught people how to be a gentleman and become a sage. The most important thing is morality, and what is important is that a gentleman speaks but not hands. And so the original Confucianism, shouting and killing everywhere, and blindly encouraging the common people to fight against the court. It is really Going against the original intention of the sage and the essence of Confucianism... The servant feels that Confucian scholars in this world will soon rise up against Zhu Heqi!"

Kangxi frowned: "But Confucius always said that 'it is better for the barbarians to have a monarch than the death of the Xia'?"

"Your Majesty, Confucius also said that 'the princes use barbarian rites to barbarians, and enter China to make China'..."

"Xiong Cilu, what did you say?"

Before Xiong Cilu had finished speaking, Tu Hai had already started to scold him loudly.

Kangxi raised his hand and waved, "Tuhai, today is not the court meeting, nor is it the South Study Room discussing politics... Let's eat barbecue together and chat casually, what can't you say?"

"Your Majesty, but..."

"But what?" Kangxi said, "This is also what Confucius said!"

"Your Majesty," Tu Hai shook his head, "The way of shaving and changing clothing is the foundation of the Qing Dynasty and cannot be changed!"

Kangxi glared at Tuhai: "Who said that the rules of shaving and dressing should be changed?"

"But what Confucius said..."

Kangxi glared at Tu Hai again, Tu Hai didn't dare to speak any more, so he had to lower his head to eat the meat.

Kangxi then asked Xiong Cilu, "Is there a solution to shaving and changing clothes?"

In fact, Kangxi does not necessarily think that shaving and changing clothes are more important than his Qing Dynasty... The shaving method and changing clothes are to strengthen the Qing Dynasty, not to weaken the rule of the Qing Dynasty.But now he has lost half of his country, and he no longer has the prestige to touch the important issue of shaving and easy clothing.

"There is no solution!" Xiong Cilu said, "but we can turn the situation back elsewhere... If it is now when the Qing Dynasty just entered the customs, Zhu and Qi can make the Qing Dynasty unable to turn around with just a difference between barbarians and Xia. But now the scholars all over the world have shaved their heads long ago, and Zhu Hechi insists on it. Although he can get a little reason, it is also annoying, as if he is the only one with reason in the world.

Of course, if Zhu and Qi don’t engage in equalization of land, taxation, and labor, building schools, and gradually abolishing imperial examinations... some scholars may still believe his set of things, but now he wants to be honest. Competing with scholar-bureaucrats for profit.If someone can stand up at this time, ascend to the top, and call on scholars all over the world to stand up and protect the Qing Dynasty and Confucianism, they will definitely respond. "

Chapter 489 Baoda Confucianism is a slogan, and Baodaqing is a business!

"can you?"

Kangxi still had an unbelievable expression after hearing Xiong Cilu's words, "Back then, the Ming Dynasty treated the scholar-bureaucrats kindly. Although there were eunuchs, weak emperors, and vassal kings who caused disasters, but above the court and in the officialdom, after all, the scholars But later on, those who defended the false Ming Dynasty and helped Third Prince Zhu in his rebellion were all trespassers, western thieves, and pirates... Scholar-bureaucrats can’t even protect Ming Dynasty, how can they protect me Qing Dynasty?”

Tu Hai echoed, "That's right, if you just shout Bao Daru, and then carry Yan Shenggong from Qufu, Shandong Province to confront Zhu Nichang, it may still have some effect."

"If there is only the banner of Bao Daru in the picture hall, then I am afraid that no one will respond." Xiong Cilu said with a smile, "Maybe even Yan Shenggong himself would not dare to stand out."

"Why? Isn't Confucianism the philosophy of his family?" Tu Hai asked.

Xiong Cilu said with a smile: "Yan Shenggong lives in his house, and when he shouts, the world will follow. Is it a blessing for the country?"

"How can Kong Yuqi have such a reputation?" Emperor Kangxi said with a smile, "He is just an ordinary young man. Even if he has the blood of the most holy teacher, he will definitely not be respected by the world."

He only said half of what he said, and the remaining half is that if Yan Shenggong had such appeal, the clan would have been exterminated long ago!

"What the emperor said is very true!" Xiong Cilu laughed, "That's why the slaves put Bao Confucianism and Bao Daqing side by side... because it is actually unprofitable to protect Confucianism, but Bao Daqing is really profitable." Good!"

"Benefits?" Kangxi frowned when he heard this, "How should I give this benefit? How much should I give? Now the imperial court doesn't have a lot of money, so I really can't give much!"

Xiong Cilu shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood, how dare the slaves let those Confucian scholars and bureaucrats take money from the pockets of the court!

According to the slave's thinking, not only can the lower officials not take advantage of the imperial court, but they should also help the imperial court to collect taxes! "
