Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

"A lie? Then Kangxi's fate..." Zhuge Zhengyang asked with interest.

"Well," Zhuge Sanhe said with a smile, "to be honest, even as a father, I can't be sure about Kangxi's fate... If Kangxi in that portrait is really the same as himself, then he should have a long life of 70 to 60 years old, and There are still five or sixty years left for the real man. This is obviously impossible!"

"Impossible, impossible, how is it possible?" Zhuge Zhengyang shook his head again and again, "The Qing Dynasty has been involved in this, how can Kangxi still have the destiny?"

"That's right." Zhuge Sanhe said with a smile, "My son, work hard and try to catch him... This is a great achievement for becoming a king!"

"Okay!" Zhuge Zhengyang nodded with a smile.

Just as the father and son were discussing good things, a voice suddenly shouted outside the door: "Prime Minister, Admiral... Rocket, there are rockets in the sky!"

As soon as Zhuge Sanhe heard this, the smile on his face disappeared, "This is Su Zhanhai's signal rocket... It seems that the old man is right, Kangxi really ambushed an army around Xinye!

In this way, Nanyang will be empty and unprepared! "

Zhuge Zhengyang's eyes shined brightly, "That boy will lead his troops to attack Nanyang immediately!"

Chapter 637 Fat Zhuge Er Qi Kang Mazi, Kangxi, you have to hold on!

In the 18th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, the New Year's Eve.

Nanyang Xingzai, South Study Room.

Early in the morning, there was a sound of snoring like rolling thunder in Nan's study.Emperor Kangxi was sleeping on a soft couch with his head tilted, and his body was covered with a yellow satin quilt, sleeping soundly!

He was really exhausted and nervous to arrange the new field battle these few days, and he was afraid that something might go wrong—after all, the Qing Dynasty survived and abolished it, so let's fight here!

If this battle is lost, the Qing Dynasty will be abolished even if it does not die!

If this battle can be won, then the Qing army will be able to open up the supply line between Nanyang and Xiangyang, and will be able to continuously send military food and fire into Xiangyang.In this way, Tuhai can persist in Xiangyang City for several years, and even if he is besieged again, Kangxi does not have to rush to rescue him.

And with Xiangyang, a battleground for military strategists, blocking Huguang's gate, it would be difficult for the Ming army to launch a large-scale northern expedition from Huguang.Kangxi can also breathe a little bit of relief... His Qing Dynasty can't be said to be "prosperous", but at least it can "preserve".

Just because this battle was so important, Kangxi hadn't closed his eyes very much since the deployment of the new field battle, and his whole body was always in a state of high excitement.It was not until early this morning that the three-way army from Xinye had completed the siege of about 5 Ming troops in the north, and Kangxi was relieved.However, he was still worried that the Ming army that surrounded Xiangyang would send troops to the north to reinforce the trapped friendly forces, so he ordered the four Mongolian cavalry on standby in Nanyang to attack immediately at Gushan, bypassing the rear of the trapped Ming army, and blocking the Ming army from Lianghekou. The road from camp to Xinye.After giving this order, Emperor Kangxi relaxed, and then he was surrounded by sleepiness that was so thick that he couldn't get rid of it.

So Kangxi didn't even go out of the South study room, and let someone move in before Xiao Guizi let Kangxi lie down on the soft couch and fall asleep.But looking at the frown on his pockmarked face, you can tell that he is having a nightmare again...

This time, Kangxi's dream was not to "go to Jingshan", but to hunt north with a large group of people in a hurry, out of Beijing city, out of Juyongguan, and flee all the way on the vast and boundless prairie, with the people of the Eight Banners in his ears Their cries... and the exclamation of Xiao Guizi's father-in-law!

"Long live, it's not good, long live, it's not good..."

It's bad!

Emperor Kangxi, who was half asleep and half awake, said in his heart: "I have already become Qing Shun Emperor, how can it be better?"

"Long live, long live, wake up!"

Wake up?

Kangxi was still surprised, and said in his heart: "Could I be dreaming again?"

Thinking of "dreaming", he suddenly opened his eyes, and then saw Xiao Guizi's father-in-law standing in front of him holding a torn wax lacquer document, his face was full of horror!

"Xiao Guizi, what happened?" Kangxi immediately knew something was wrong.

Xiao Guizi handed the seal paper to Kangxi, and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, Tang County has fallen! Last night, the army of rebels raided Tang County!"

"Tang County?" Kangxi was taken aback, "Why did the traitor go to Tang County?"

While talking, Kangxi didn't wait for Xiao Guizi's father-in-law to answer, so he got up and went to a large map spread on the floor of the south study, trying to find the location of Tang County from it.

Only then did he realize that the map was covered with sunlight, which was a bit dazzling.

"What time is it?" Kangxi asked Xiao Guizi beside him while squatting down to look at the map.

"If you go back to the emperor, it's already past noon... Do you want to pass the meal?"

After he said this, Kangxi really felt hungry, so he said casually: "Okay, let's pass on the meal...don't make too many dishes, just a dozen or so will be enough."

The father-in-law Xiao Guizi reminded, "Your Majesty, today is New Year's Eve!"

"It's New Year's Eve—ah!" Kangxi suddenly stopped talking, then rubbed his eyes again, stared at a certain place on the map for a closer look, and finally his legs softened, and he sat down on the floor up.

Because he had already seen the location of Tang County on the map!

Tang County is about 120 or [-] miles northeast of Xinye, about [-] miles from Lianghekou Camp of the Ming Army, and [-] or [-] miles from Nanyang Fucheng.

In other words, the Ming army bypassed Xinye and went north via Tang County to attack Nanyang Fucheng!

As soon as Kangxi sat down, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door of the South Study Room, and then Li Wei, Du Lide, Feng Pu, and Mingzhu, the four ministers and bachelors of the South Study Room, and Duo Long, the minister who led the guards, came in together. .

Seeing Kangxi sitting on the ground in a daze, Duolong quickly stepped forward two steps, lying on the ground, and said to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, do you want to clean up..."

"Pack what?" Kangxi suddenly yelled as if he was stimulated, "I'm not leaving! I'm not going anywhere, I'm staying in Nanyang, my destiny is not over..."

Speaking of "the destiny is not over", Kangxi's heart twitched again.Because he had already remembered that Zhuge Sanhe told Nalan Xingde about the "mandate of heaven"...

"Your majesty..." Mingzhu also remembered the source of "The Unending Mandate" at this time, and quickly knelt down to Kangxi, "The son of the slave was also deceived by Zhuge Yaodao, he didn't know that Yaodao said that your destiny is not exhausted Words are lies..."

"shut up!"

"Mingzhu, what did you say?"

"Mingzhu, you are talking nonsense!"

Before Mingzhu could finish speaking, the three Han scholars, Li Wei, Du Lide, and Feng Pu, immediately started shouting.

When Mingzhu was yelled at by them, she also knew that she had made a slip of the tongue—how can she say that the emperor's destiny is not complete?If this is nonsense, wouldn't Kangxi's destiny be exhausted?It's impossible to escape this catastrophe, are you going to prepare for the funeral?

"Your majesty, that's not what I mean by slave," Mingzhu hastily defended herself, "Your destiny is not over yet..."

It's not over yet... It doesn't sound like it will last long!

Kangxi looked at Mingzhu coldly, "It's not over yet, will it be over in a while?"

"Your Majesty, calm down..." Mingzhu was so blinded that she was sweating profusely, she quickly kowtowed and said, "I know I was wrong, I am guilty, I deserve death..."

"What's your crime?" Kangxi gritted his teeth and asked.

Mingzhu was about to cry, he was so loyal, he didn't even give up his butt for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, how could he be guilty?

But he can't deny his guilt now!You recognized it all, and now you say there is no more, isn't this deceiving the king?

"Slave, I misbelieve Zhuge's demonic words, so as to harm the country and the people, this slave deserves to die!"

As soon as he confessed his crime, Emperor Kangxi became even angrier—how could Mingzhu mistakenly believe in the words of the demon?It is clear that he, Kang Mazi, mistook the words of the demon way!He is simply a fool, he was fooled by that Zhuge Yaodao!

It was Kangxi who really harmed the country and the people and deserved to die!

Now the main force of the Qing army in Nanyang has gone to besiege the Ming army near Xinye, and even the four Mongolian cavalry Gushan were sent out.The only one left in Nanyang is the life-saving Gushan in the middle of Zhenghuangqi Road... A Gushan can't resist the outflanking Ming army. Although Kangxi doesn't know how many people this Ming army has, Now that Nanyang is coming, how come there must be several towns?

If Kangxi was surrounded by them in Nanyang, it doesn't matter what the Qing Dynasty can't finish, because Kangxi himself will be finished.

But Kangxi wants to give up Nanyang and evacuate, what about the fourteen Gushan in Xinye?This retreat will require people to chase after a while, and tens of thousands of people will be lost no matter what.

Moreover, there are still two Gushan Mountains in Xiangyang, and it will be an end if they are besieged. Tuhai may be Tu Chengchou... At that time, will the Qing Dynasty be saved?

Thinking of this, Kangxi only felt a sweetness in his throat, and spit out a mouthful of blood, Duolong and Xiaoguizi hurried up to support Kangxi.

Xiao Guizi shouted: "The emperor has vomited blood, send it to the imperial doctor!"

Duolong said loudly: "Your Majesty, you have to hold on! The Qing Dynasty cannot live without the Emperor..."

Kangxi staggered, still persisting... He knew he couldn't faint, because now was the most critical time, if he fainted, then the Qing Dynasty would really be gone.

But Kangxi also knew that he had no ability to fight any longer, so he had to withdraw now.

Kangxi said in a trembling voice: "Hurry up, pass the decree to Prince Kang Jieshu, let him retreat to Shangluo Road with his troops quickly. Let's, let's retreat, let's retreat to Luyang Pass.

Then, send an order to Tu Hai in Xiangyang, ordering him to break through immediately..."

Chapter 638 There is Wang Sangui in the North and Tu Chengchou in the South

This series of orders issued by Kangxi is actually arranging a general retreat!

Although he hasn't lost all the chips in his hand, he still has the power to fight, but he knows that he can't afford to lose... If he has a big defeat in Nanyang and Xinye, then he won't be Qing Shun Emperor , but to become Qing Chongzhen!

In addition, he and Zhu Heqi have different definitions of "lose".Even if he can make a one-to-one exchange ratio between Xinye and Nanyang, as long as the absolute number of losses is too large, he still has to be Qing Chongzhen!

So after he found out that his chances of winning were almost lost, he could only admit the loss and be out...and he had to leave the game in time.Because his troops will be defeated if they move faster. Although the loss will not be too small, it is still bearable.If he walked slower and became surrounded, he would not be Emperor Shun of the Qing Dynasty.

This makes me vomit blood just thinking about it!

Kangxi originally looked down on Emperor Yuan Shun, but now he is fine, he still has to work hard to become Emperor Qing Shun... and he has to work hard!

Because most of the "New Eight Banners" still hold "Beijing Hukou" and have divided Zhuangzi around the city of Beijing.

And if he wants to become Emperor Shun of the Qing Dynasty, at least he has to let people change his "Beijing household registration" to "Inner Mongolia household registration"... Will his subordinates be willing?

If the people below are unwilling...then the "Dream of Jingshan" will come true!

At the thought of going to Jingshan, Emperor Kangxi spurted out another mouthful of old blood, and then passed out.

And when Emperor Kangxi regained consciousness again, he found himself lying in a rickety carriage... His heart, which was already very fragile, suddenly tightened—couldn't he be in the prison carriage?

If this falls into the hands of Zhuge Yaodao, it would be better to be Chongzhen of the Qing Dynasty!

Thinking of this, he squinted his eyes and saw that he was lying in an ordinary carriage—not a prison carriage.

Kangxi, who was a little relieved, felt a strong sense of hunger again, and was very uncomfortable... He had never experienced starvation in his life.So he hummed immediately: "Xiao Guizi, Chuan Shan..."

Pass on the meal!

Very particular.I don't know if I want to go to the Manchu Banquet?

"Long live lord, you finally woke up, I'm dying of anxiety..." Xiao Guizi's cries came to mind immediately.

Only then did Kangxi realize that he was squeezed into a carriage with this loyal eunuch!

"Chuan Shan..."

Still thinking about passing meals!

"Here comes the meal!" Xiao Guizi's father-in-law had already prepared the "imperial meal" for Kangxi - a large bag of white flour steamed buns carefully prepared by Ouchi's imperial chef, which was still in stock last year (last year was just two days ago). It's cold and hard.

"Your Majesty, there is only this..." Xiao Guizi carefully took out a very delicate yellow cloth pocket, and when she opened it, there was a pack of cold steamed buns inside.

Kangxi picked up a steamed bun and squeezed it. It was quite hard, but it was not delicious.But he was really hungry, so he picked it up and took a bite, regardless of whether it was hard or not.

Not to mention, although the steamed buns are a little hard, cold, dry, and stiff...but the taste is still very good!It is the best dim sum that Kangxi has ever eaten in his life!

He wolfed down one and it wasn't satisfying, and then he ate a few more, and he choked on it in a hurry.Xiao Guizi hurriedly sent another jug, which contained imperial wine mixed with water.However, Kangxi still felt like drinking fine nectar and jade liquid.

After eating cold steamed buns and drinking wine mixed with water, the Qing emperor finally regained his spirits, so he asked, "Xiao Guizi, where are you now? How is the battle going on at the front?"

Xiao Guizi shook her head, "Your Majesty, this servant doesn't know either...the servant only knows how to serve the Emperor. Otherwise, I will ask the donkey cart to stop, and then send someone to find Duolong and Mingzhu. You can ask them."

"Donkey cart?" Kangxi frowned, "I'm riding in a donkey cart?"

"That's right," Xiao Guizi said, "At first it was a horse-drawn cart, but after a day of running, the horse was exhausted, so I had to switch to a donkey cart..."

Kangxi sighed: "I didn't expect that I would also escape in a donkey cart... Okay, go and call Duolong and Mingzhu over."

"Whoo."

Xiao Guizi responded, and immediately got out of the donkey cart that was moving slowly, and shouted loudly: "Stop...Master Ming, Your Excellency, Your Majesty is awake, His Majesty wants to see you!"

After eating something and gaining some strength, Emperor Kangxi also moved his body, opened the curtain of the donkey, leaned out half of his body, and looked out.

Kangxi found that it was snowing outside... In a vast expanse of whiteness, many soldiers in yellow padded armor were walking past on both sides of the donkey cart, each of them was exhausted.But at least the gang was carrying flintlock guns and bags of luggage.

This shows that they can continue to retreat... Kangxi felt a little relieved.

At this time, Duolong walked over with Mingzhu supporting her limp. Among them, Mingzhu was wearing a leather robe and a suede hood on her head, looking quite warm.And Doron is wearing cotton armor and a gun helmet.

Although it is a special period now, these two servants have not forgotten the courtesy of the emperor and ministers. Seeing the half of Emperor Kangxi, they quickly knelt down and saluted.

"Get up, get up." Kangxi beckoned the two to get up, and asked them to step forward so that he could shrink into the donkey cart—there was a stove in the donkey cart, which was relatively warm.

"How's the situation?" Kangxi asked.

"Your Majesty..." Duolong sighed, "Zhenghuangqi Middle Road is okay, although they were chased by the Ming army for a day and a night and lost thousands of people, but they retreated after the snow fell."

"Kang Kang, Yue Le, Tong Guogang, Huan Tuhai and the others..." Kangxi looked at Duolong with a sad face, and his heart began to twitch again.

Duolong shook his head: "I don't know..."

Kangxi frowned, looked at Duolong and Mingzhu: "Is there something wrong?"

Mingzhu said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

And holy... Kangxi said in his heart: "Can't there be some good saints?"

Mingzhu took out a disassembled seal document and handed it to Kangxi, "Your Majesty, this is the report from Wang Fuchen, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan."
