Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Page 245

This seems to make sense!

But what about the second master Wu in Xi'an?He doesn't intend to be "Yuan Tan" anymore?

Wu Yingxiong seemed to have guessed what the subordinates were thinking, and immediately turned the conversation to Wu Yingqi, "There was a little misunderstanding between Yingqi and Yingqi before, but now we have figured it out...Burni Great Khan and monk Wanhu are also willing to mediate. "

His gaze swept across the shift of important ministers in front of him, and he had already landed on Hu Guozhu, "Guozhu!"

"The minister is here." Hu Guozhu immediately got out of work and knelt down.

"Hu Qing get down quickly," Wu Yingxiong hurriedly called Hu Guozhu to stand up, and when he saw the other party standing up swaggeringly, he continued, "I would like to invite you to go to Xi'an to pass the decree to confer the title of my younger brother Ying Qi as King of Yan, My nephew Shi Cong is the King of Qin, and I advise them to put the world's common people first, and march into Beijing together with Burni Khan."

Hu Guozhu smiled and cupped his fists: "Please rest assured, the emperor, I will not disgrace my life!"

Wu Yingxiong seemed very excited, he jumped up from the throne, walked a few steps, and then stood still, proudly said: "Even if Xuan Ye has three heads and six arms, it is impossible for him to reach Da Ming, Da Yuan and my Da San Lu Tianbing at the same time! When I have established contact with Daming and Yuan, I will raise an army of [-] to attack the Central Plains in the north and destroy this court food!"

At this moment, the ministers of Wu and Zhou who had doubts about Wu Yingxiong became excited, and bowed down one after another, shouting long live.

Wu Yingxiong also showed iron blood on his face, as if the Huanghuang Qing Dynasty, which dominated the northern kingdom, had become a big dish, just waiting for him, the Zhou emperor, to make a move!

……

Wu Yingxiong got off the chariot at the main entrance of the Dragon and Phoenix Palace, and when he strolled in, it was already dark... He has worked so hard today, he has been busy since the early morning, and he is enthroned and worshiping the world , It is to worship the Taimiao, and it is to review the three armies.But he didn't feel tired at all, and he didn't even feel sleepy, and he was still full of energy.

Princess Jianning, now the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was of course notified of His Majesty's arrival, and now she has brought "Hong Guifei" Kong Sizhen to greet her at the entrance of the main hall.

Jianning stood up and performed a blessed salute, while Kong Sizhen knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.Even though the empress Jianning is only one level older than the noble concubine Kong Sizhen, the status of the two of them in Wu Yingxiong's harem is really far apart.

Gongdou or something doesn't exist at all...

Wu Yingxiong nodded to Jianning, which was a salute, but he ignored Kong Sizhen, and just walked to the throne in the hall with Jianning, and then sat down together.

After taking his seat, Wu Yingxiong greeted Kong Sizhen and said, "Sizhen, come and talk."

"Yes."

Kong Sizhen responded, then stood up and moved lightly with lotus steps, and when she reached Wu Yingxiong, she knelt down again.

Wu Yingxiong smiled and said: "Sizhen, Sun Yanling has already made the Duke of the State. One of his two sons is the son of the Duke of the State, and the other is the family of Yi Dingwei Qianhu."

"I thank the emperor Long En."

Kong Sizhen quickly thanked him.

Sun Yanling's two sons were both born to her, and the titles and official positions Wu Yingxiong gave to them were rewards for Kong Sizhen.

Wu Yingxiong went on to say: "Sizhen... I have already sent Wang Fuzhi and Wan Sitong to Nanjing to meet the third prince Zhu. You can go to Beijing tomorrow! You must make it clear to Kangxi and the Empress Dowager that I have three It is enough to divide the world, and now we only hold the banner of the Northern Expedition, one is to unite the hearts of the people, and the other is to secure the peace!"

"The concubine must have a good talk with them."

"Your majesty," Princess Jianning interjected at this moment, "You really don't want to return three points to one bear?"

Wu Yingxiong smiled, and said to Kong Sizhen: "Sizhen, tell them that Ying Qi and Burni will march from the grassland...then try to follow Xuan Ye's army to the north, and report to Kong Sizhen immediately when the battle is over. !"

"Yes!" Kong Sizhen nodded.

Wu Yingxiong smiled and said to Jianning: "It depends on God's will whether three points can be returned to one bear...Queen, what do you think?"

Jianning smiled and said: "The emperor is so blessed that he can rule the world!"

Wu Yingxiong glanced at Kong Sizhen, then at Princess Jianning, "Queen, tonight..."

Jianning smiled and said, "Let Miss Sizhen take good care of you...but don't tire Miss Sizhen, she has to go on her way tomorrow!"

……

Of course Kong Sizhen will not be tired by Wu Yingxiong...Wu Yingxiong is a "fat boy", how can he have such physical strength?

So in the early morning of the [-]th day of the first lunar month, accompanied by several Yiding warriors, she rode a fast horse out of Xiangjing City and headed north.

There has been frequent contact between the Qing Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty, and Kong Sizhen still has the badge of the Qing Dynasty’s Ministry of Internal Affairs in her hand. Not only did the Qing court officials along the way dare not stop her, but she even had access to the post stations and horses of the Qing court.So this journey was extremely fast. After leaving Xiangjing on January [-]th, they had already entered Beijing City on February [-]nd.

At this time, Emperor Kangxi was still far away in Haizhou, North Korea, and those who stayed in Beijing to preside over the overall situation were the Empress Dowager Bumbutai and Prince Gong Changning who had just returned from Dengzhou not long ago.

On February [-]rd, Bumbutai and Chang Ning secretly summoned Kong Sizhen in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and heard Kong Sizhen personally report Wu Yingxiong's ascension to the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Bumbutai was fine, and didn't respond.But Chang Ning Que jumped up, stared at Kong Sizhen who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted, "What? This slave Wu Yingxiong actually proclaimed himself emperor?"

"Chang Ning!" Seeing his grandson jumping up, Bumbutai hurriedly said, "Why are you in a hurry? The emperor and I are not in a hurry about this matter, what are you in a hurry? Someone, hurry up and move a chair for Concubine Kong Gui !

Sizhen, sit down first, let's talk slowly if we have something to say. "

Chapter 571: Zhou Tianzi's five-way attack on the Qing!

Bumbutai asked Kong Sizhen to take a seat, and Kong Sizhen was not polite, and sat down generously on a chair carried in by two eunuchs with a smile.

Bumbutai looked at Kong Sizhen, who was over 40 years old, but still had some charm and maintained a good figure, nodded and said: "Sizhen, you are the fate of a prosperous man! If Sun Yanling hadn't married you, Where is the general of Guangxi? Where is the current Duke who can be the Duke? If Wu Yingxiong hadn’t been helped by you, he would have lost his position as the eldest son. Where can he be enthroned and proclaim himself emperor? My son is really blind, why doesn’t he accept you? As a concubine? If he wants to accept you, he must still be in power now, and the Qing Dynasty will definitely not be like this."

"Empress Dowager," Kong Sizhen shook his head lightly, "You have underestimated Zhu Heqi...this person...is almost a monster! Even the former emperor is not his opponent, but the current emperor of the Qing Dynasty has been working hard to deal with it, behaving well It’s remarkable. It’s just that Zhu and Qi are too strong, and to control him, Qing and Zhou must join forces!”

"Really?" Bumbutai pretended to be surprised, and then looked back at Chang Ning, "Is she right?"

Chang Ning nodded, and said: "Concubine Kong Gui is right...Zhu Heqi is almost a monster. He is indeed a powerful enemy that the Qing Dynasty has never encountered since the founding of the country by the Taizu!"

It turns out that both the Qing Dynasty and Wu Zhou had already announced that Zhu Heqi was an opponent who was "off the hook"!

Bumbutai turned his head to look at Kong Sizhen again, "Then how does your Emperor Zhou plan to join forces with our Qing Dynasty to deal with this monster Zhu Heqi?"

Kong Sizhen smiled and said: "Tianzi Zhou is going to launch a five-way campaign against the Qing!"

"What? Wulu Faqing?" Chang Ning almost jumped up, but Bumbutai's small eyes stared back at him abruptly.

"The five roads?" Bumbutai asked, "Can you tell me?"

Kong Sizhen said: "This concubine came all the way, isn't it just to talk about this?"

"Then tell me." Bumbutai stared at Kong Sizhen with his small eyes.

Kong Sizhen said: "The Mongolian Great Khan Burni sent troops to the grasslands is the first route; the King Yan of the Great Zhou Dynasty either went out of northern Shaanxi or Shanxi was the second route; Zhou Tianzi's imperial conquest of Henan was the third route; Zhu Ming traveled from the Huaihe River. The Northeast Expedition to the Central Plains is the fourth route; the Ming army in North Korea and Liaodong is the fifth route."

Bumbutai squinted his eyes: "It's all agreed? Can the five-way army really come out?"

Kong Sizhen smiled and said: "The three roads of Burni Khan, Great Zhou Yan Wang, and Zhou Tianzi should be able to send troops... As for Zhu Ming's Korean and Liaodong roads, they have already sent troops. The only doubt is the Huaidong side. Will there be a Ming Army Northern Expedition?"

"I don't know how many troops King Yan and Emperor Zhou are planning to send out?" Aunt Bumbutai continued to inquire.

"King Yan of Great Zhou has [-] to [-] soldiers, and Emperor Zhou has more than [-] troops," Kong Sizhen said, "As for how many can be sent out, I don't know."

Bumbutai nodded, and said with a smile: "Got it, Sizhen... Your princess mansion is still reserved for you, you can stay here for a while. When the emperor comes back from North Korea, I will ask him to summon you again." , Is it feasible to go back after you finish talking with him?"

"All obey the orders of the Empress Dowager."

Bumbutai then said to Aunt Su Ma who was beside her, "Su Ma, take Concubine Kong Guifei home for me."

"Yes."

Aunt Su Ma responded, and Kong Sizhen also stood up and gave Bumbutai a blessing, and then the two left the Palace of Compassion and Ning together.

Seeing Kong Sizhen leaving, the old lady sighed softly, and said to Chang Ning beside her, "Chang Ning, you have to work hard... Please come back quickly, our Qing Dynasty is about to face disaster!"

"Grandmother, do you really believe that Wu Yingxiong can mobilize these five armies?"

The old lady shook her head, "Where do I know where to go? But you always have to plan for the worst!"

Seeing the worry on the old lady's face, Chang Ning also felt that the matter was a bit serious, and immediately said to the old lady: "Grandson knows, grandson will leave tomorrow!"

……

"Five Route Army? Can it really be mobilized?"

In the mansion of General Pingxi in Xi'an, Wu Yingqi, who was also the General Pingxi of the Qing Dynasty and the General Pingxi of the Ming Dynasty, and who had just become King Yan of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was having a secret talk with the monk Zhixin and Hu Guozhu in the third hall.

Accompanied by Wu Guogui, Ma Bao, Liu Xuanchu, Wu Shicong and others.

Shang Zhixin and Hu Guozhu not only brought Wu Yingqi and Wu Shicong the imperial decree to become a king, but also brought a five-way attack plan that sounded quite clever.

It was the plan that Kong Sizhen told Bumbutai and Chang Ning... If this plan is really implemented, even if Kangxi has three heads and six arms, he will probably have to go to Shengjing to become Qing Shun Emperor.

But the question is can it move?

"There is no problem with Genghis God Bless Khan," Shang Zhi said, "Last year, the Great Khan fought Danjin Boshuo Ketu Khan (Galdan) of the Junggar tribe in Khobdo, and it was hard to tell the winner. After that, Genghis Blessed Khan invited Jebtsundamba to mediate. After talking for a few days, Danzin Boshuoktu Khan agreed to deal with the Yeerqiang Khanate because he was ordered by the great lama. Negotiating peace, it is estimated that there will be no more troubles in a few years.

Moreover, the emperor gave him a batch of muskets and gunpowder... God You Khan will definitely take the opportunity to send troops in order to unify Monan and Mobei Mongolia. "

It turned out that Galdan and his teacher Xueyu Dalai Lama encountered an interesting thing last year. A Hezhuo named Xidayetula of the Baishan Sect of Tianfang Sect in the Yeerqiang Khanate, because of sectarian struggle He failed in the battle, and actually ran to ask the Great Lama of Xueyu to help him fight the "War of Gods"...

And now the great lama of Xueyu is a master who can make troubles, so of course he will not let go of this opportunity to expand his sphere of influence.So he ordered his good student Galdan to temporarily make peace with Genghis Tianyou Khan, and then send troops to the Yeerqiang Khanate to help the Baishan faction seize power, and then take the opportunity to destroy the Yeerqiang Khanate!

It just so happened that the Junggar tribe had been invading the Yeerqiang Khanate continuously since the last generation of Huntai Jisengge, and had a great attempt to swallow the Yeerqiang Khanate in one go.

So Galdan stopped the war with Burni that didn't have much benefit, and turned his guns to pinch the soft persimmons of the Yeerqiang Khanate.

Although Burni did not defeat Galdan in the Battle of Kobduo, his rule over Mobei Mongolia was strengthened and his strength was greatly enhanced because of Galdan's initiative and retreat.

Just at this time, Burni learned that Kangxi suffered successive setbacks in North Korea and Liaodong, and naturally raised his ambition to unify Monan and Mobei Mongolia.

So as long as Wu Yingxiong can give him a batch of muskets and gunpowder, he will definitely join the five-way war against the Qing!

"The Son of Heaven has no problem on this journey." Hu Guozhu said, "The Son of Heaven has assembled an army of [-] in Xiangjing, and he can attack the Central Plains north at any time!"

While listening to Shang Zhixin and Hu Guozhu's answers, Wu Yingqi was scratching his head.

Burni Khan claims to have ten thousand households and can dispatch one hundred thousand troops.In fact, of course there are not that many, but [-] Mongolian cavalry can still be pulled out.

It is impossible for Wu Yingxiong to mobilize all the 8 people assembled in Xiangjing, and it should be no problem to send out 6 people.

Wu Yingqi himself had an army of [-] to [-], and there was no problem sending [-] troops.

15 plus [-] plus [-] is a total of [-] troops!

Although 15 troops is a lot, Kangxi's Eight Banners New Army claims 24, which is [-] more!

So the key to the victory of this five-way attack on the Qing lies in Daming!

Thinking of this, Wu Yingqi asked, "What does Daming mean?"

Hu Guozhu said with a smile: "Da Ming is already fighting with the Qing captives, and has opened three places in North Korea, Liaodong, and Dengzhou, and at least restrained Kangxi's 15 troops! Huaidong has always been the focus of the Qing army's deployment, with 6 to 24 troops. People always have to show off. The new Eight Banners of the Qing army are claimed to be 30, and there are 20 green camps. Even if the whole army is dispatched, it is only [-]... [-] of which have been restrained by the Ming Dynasty, and the remaining less than [-] can still be blocked. Fifteen armies living in Dazhou and Yuan?"

Chapter 572 Crazy, crazy!

In order to invite Kangxi, who was "wild" in North Korea, not to return home earlier, Chang Ning went back to rescue the Qing Dynasty, so he also went all out.Chang Ning traveled day and night from Beijing to Haiju, North Korea, a long distance of more than 2000 miles, and it only took more than ten days to complete the journey.But the whole person was tired and a little out of shape, the whole body was thinner, and his little white face was tanned into a little black face, and the dust on his face looked quite thick...

When he arrived in Haizhou with half of the guards led by Zuoling and a dozen Goshhas, Emperor Kangxi was not in the palace, but went to watch soldiers training in a large camp by the sea.

Mingzhu, who stayed in the palace, wanted Chang Ning to wash up and rest, and then wait for Kangxi to come back in the palace.But where can Chang Ning wait?The Qing Dynasty is about to disappear, how can he still care about face?

So he urged Mingzhu to lead him to Haizhou Daying.

When he got there, Chang Ning discovered that a military parade was being held in the school grounds of Haizhou Camp.On the huge school field, countless soldiers are advancing, retreating, or changing formations under the command of drums, trumpets, and passwords.The neat footsteps stirred up dust in the sky.Groups of soldiers marched around the school grounds in horizontal or column formations before passing in front of Emperor Kangxi and a group of ministers.

Every Qing soldier wearing cotton armor and a gun helmet was either carrying a long gun or holding a flintlock gun, and a considerable part of the flintlock guns had a bayonet bayonet on the muzzle.

The socket bayonet is actually a gun bayonet installed on a metal cylinder that can be put on the barrel. It is a little technically difficult, but it is not too high, and there are some ways to make do with it.

For example, a layer of cloth is wrapped around the barrel of the gun so that the larger sleeve can be tightly fixed to the muzzle of the gun... Although doing so will make it difficult to pull out the bayonet, it can make do with piercing people.

If it wasn't for the "wonderful use" of the bayonet in hand-to-hand combat in the Battle of Seoul-it can be inserted into the muzzle of a flintlock gun loaded with ammunition, and then it is very unethical to suddenly fire when fighting the enemy!It is impossible for this kind of bayonet that is not easy to use to become the standard equipment of the Qing army's fusiliers so quickly.

However, driven by the hard truth of actual combat effects, the progress of the Qing army under the leadership of Kangxi was still very significant.

In addition to the socket bayonet, the matchlock guns used by the Qing grenadiers were quickly replaced by the flintlock guns that were just made or bought from the Dutch.

The number of flintlocks in each Qing infantry leader in North Korea is gradually increasing to 120.

Although the upgrade of the military equipment of the Qing army stationed in the court has not been completed, Emperor Kangxi is quite satisfied with the progress of this minor military reform.

In his view, by the summer of the 18th year of Kangxi at the latest, the Qing army stationed in North Korea would be able to complete the change of clothing, and the level of training could be raised to a higher level.

If you want to compete with Zhu Hechi again, the "level" (tie) will be greatly increased...

Of course, for the Qing Dynasty, whose core population is only 90 million, it is meaningless to tie with the New Daming, which has a population of more than 3000 million... Because if it is evenly tied, the Qing Dynasty will be settled by the New Ming Dynasty .

So the biggest dilemma facing Kangxi now is how to retreat from North Korea in a decent and safe way, and it is best to return with a full load.

Although North Korea's three northern provinces don't have much money, it's good to be able to snatch back hundreds of thousands of strong and strong people to serve as slaves to the new Eight Banners.

When Kangxi was thinking about this matter, he suddenly heard a rush of horseshoes, turned his head and found that Mingzhu was leading a dark and thin young man wearing a dirty black mandarin coat on Pegasus.The young man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was?

At this moment, the young man suddenly shouted at Kangxi in a hoarse voice: "Brother Huang, Brother Huang..."

Brother?

Chang Ning?

Eight major... alleys!
