Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 129 "Zhongshan" is here! Will "Puyi" be far behind? (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

It turned out that Lu Sanhao brought Wu Guogui's personal letter to meet Wu Xiaotu!
That's why he became Wang Zhongxiao and Wu Xiaotu's "insider". To be more precise, Lu Sanhao is actually Wang Zhongxiao's fellow traveler!
Everyone wants to cheat Daqing!

As for what to do after the Qing Dynasty is over?The two sides still have differences, so they are just fellow travelers against the Qing Dynasty.

Since they are fellow travelers, of course Wang Zhongxiao has to have a good talk with this Lu Sanhao.

So Wang Zhongxiao and Wu Xiaotu immediately invited Lu Sanhao, Master Yu, and Wang Jizhen who went home with him into their own study, and asked He Tianran to be in charge of watching outside.

After several people were seated as guests and hosts, Yang Xiaohuan, who had been pregnant for several months, still had a big belly, and personally served tea for them.

Seeing Yang Xiaohuan leave, and there was no one else in the yard except He Tianran, Wang Zhongxiao took a sip of the tea from the tea bowl, moistened his throat, and then asked straight to the point: "Mr. Sanhao, how is your lord? Are you in the way? Besides, is the prince determined to rebel?"

Hearing Wang Zhongxiao's question, Lu Yifeng immediately replied with a smile: "My lord's body is fine, he's pretending to have a stroke. The purpose is to earn the son back to Yunnan, and by the way, lure tens of thousands of Manchurian elites to Sichuan, and annihilate them in one fell swoop." .”

"Oh?" Wang Zhongxiao raised his eyebrows, showing an excited expression, "So, the prince also wants to play big?"

"Of course!" Lu Yifeng said with a frown, "The prince's soldiers have less fine food, which is good for quick battles! The weak soldiers of the Qing court have more food, which is good for persistence."

Good analysis!But not necessarily so.Wang Zhongxiao thought to himself: Because Xiao Mazi also knows this truth.Not only the current Xiao Mazi knows, but also the Xiao Mazi in history.And Xiao Mazi also knew that Wu Sangui knew his weakness that he couldn't fight a protracted war!

"Then where is the prince planning to march from?" Wang Zhongxiao asked again.

"Where the main force of the Qing court comes from, the prince's army will go from there!" Lu Yifeng analyzed, "Now the Qing court divides the new army from the six towns into five groups, placing them in the three directions of Sichuan, Huguang, and Guangdong and Guangxi. The garrison flag soldiers and the old green battalion loyal to the Qing government can be used to besiege Yunnan and Guizhou with a maximum of [-] troops, and they are divided into three sides and five groups. It seems to be surrounded on three sides, but in fact the troops are scattered and it is easy to break them one by one. And the prince Over there, the elite of the feudal clan and the Yunnan-Guizhou green battalion alone can add up to [-]! There are still many green battalion officials in Sichuan, Huguang, and Guangdong who are willing to follow the prince to fight the Qing court. So the prince is sure to win this time! "

Wang Zhongxiao shook his head and said: "Kangxi's army is divided into five groups and guards three sides. It seems to be a siege, but in fact he wants to defend for a long time. Otherwise, he would not have placed the five camps in Chengdu, Chongqing, and Jingzhou, which are far away from the Yunnan-Guizhou border. , Changsha and Guilin. Now the lord may be able to lure some of the Qing soldiers to approach the Yunnan-Guizhou border by using the trick to lure the enemy, but this is the only chance!
Moreover, Prince An Yue Le was most likely to lead the Qing soldiers. He was a Manchurian veteran comparable to Oboi, and his strength should not be underestimated.Even if the prince can repel it in one battle, it may be difficult to form a sweeping momentum.So the prince still has to have a long-term plan! "

Lu Yifeng said: "If your father can make troubles in Guangdong and Guangxi, and Ping Xiwang will go north to the Central Plains together, then the restoration of the Han family will be just around the corner!"

Wang Zhongxiao just smiled wryly when he heard the words: "It's not that easy to do things in Guangdong and Guangxi! Mr. Sanhao, you have also been an official in the Qing court for many years, you should know how much real power the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi has? If my father is not concurrently the president of Guilin Daying The minister's errands can govern the new green army of 1 people, so the available troops in his hands are only 5000 people. Besides, there are no other assistants under the governor except the generals, and he has no right to directly govern At the local level, the magistrates, prefectures, and counties below cannot be appointed or dismissed.

In addition, my father has just been dispatched by the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and he has not yet taken up his post, and he has not even taken over the superintendent, let alone cultivating influence in Guangdong and Guangxi!Therefore, the guarantee my father can give to the prince is the following four points; one is that he will not play for real in Guangdong and Guangxi, so that the prince will not have to worry about the future; Third, the exchange of goods between Guangdong and Guangxi and the area under the jurisdiction of the prince will continue as usual, and my father can also pay tribute to the prince such as muskets, gunpowder, cannons, ironware, etc.; If you control your heels and control enough territory, population, and army, you will definitely raise your troops to respond to the prince. "

Lu Sanhao already understood the thoughts of Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao, the father and son.

What they meant was: Wu Sangui, you charge first, we will cover!

Wang Jizhen also reminded with a smile on his face at this time: "Mr. Sanhao, don't forget that my father's governor of Guangdong and Guangxi was appointed by Kangxi. If he loses the title of governor of Guangdong and Guangxi without cultivating his own power, then he will not only help If you don't want to be a prince, you will ask him to divide his troops into Guangdong and Guangxi to help. What's more, what my father is asking for is nothing more than a future for Wang Zhongshan!"

"Zhongshan". Wang Zhongxiao was startled when he heard his brother's words!
He has met "Big Tou, Shikai, Xiuquan, Xiuqing" in the past two years, and he is wondering where "Zhongshan" is?Unexpectedly, it was Wang Fuchen who took the title of "Zhongshan"!

Of course, this "Wang Zhongshan" does not correspond to the "Zhongshan" surnamed Sun, but Xu Zhongshan surnamed Xu, who is the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty Xu Da.So it can also be called "Xu Zhongshan".

What Wang Jizhen and Lu Sanhao said was that the Wang family didn't have too much ambition, and they were satisfied with being a duke of one family and two kingdoms.So, Wu Sangui can't count on Lao Wang's family to be the main force!
Now the three members of the old Wang family, father and son, have contributed a lot to Wu Sangui's rebellion cause, which is already enough to be a master of two countries.

"But if your father doesn't raise the flag of rebellion, he has to follow the Qing system, and he can only be a governor with limited powers. How can we manage the situation?" Lu Sanhao still didn't give up, and wanted to fight again.

"This matter is easy to handle!" Master Yu took the question with a smile, "Guangdong and Guangxi were beyond the reach of the Qing court. If King Pingxi became bigger in Sichuan, Huguang, and even Shaanxi, it would be even more difficult for the Kangxi court to command Guangdong and Guangxi. The governor of Wang Zhijun will be able to supervise him? At that time, Wang Zhijun will be able to replace most of the prefects and counties in Guangdong with his own people in two or three years, and at the same time train tens of thousands of Guangdong regiments. , and then you can do whatever you want.”

Wang Zhongxiao came back to his senses at this time, and said to Lu Sanhao with a smile: "Mr. Sanhao, what my father lacks is time. It's better to make a good calculation, how can I cheat this old boy Yue Le in the future! I reckon that he will probably go to Sichuan to join the army."

"Going to Sichuan?" Lu Sanhao asked, "How did you see it?"

"It's obvious," Wang Zhongxiao said, "Sichuan is on top of Yungui. If the prince occupies Sichuan, he will have three parts of the world! If he succeeds in entering Guanzhong, he will have the former strong Qin, the great Han, and the prosperous people." The foundation of the rise of the Tang Dynasty, so the first thing the Qing court must prevent is that the prince seizes Sichuan!
As for Huguang, the Qing court set up a lot of naval divisions on the Yangtze River. There are naval divisions in the green camps in all provinces along the river. Among them, the naval division in Susong Town is the strongest. If some of them are transferred to Huguang, it will be enough to block the prince’s advance. the way. "

Susong Town is the town guarding Chongming Island and blocking the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Zheng Chenggong did not capture them when he went to Nanjing in the north, otherwise the waterways in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River would all be surnamed "Zheng", and Nanjing would not be able to hold them no matter what.

Even Zheng Chenggong can't take down the Inland River Navy, and Wu Sangui's gang of landlubbers from the northeast and northwest can't beat them.

Wang Zhongxiao went on to say: "If the Qing government fails to block the prince in Sichuan, then they will definitely deploy defenses in Shaanxi and Gansu. The prince must attack as soon as possible, and the Qing court cannot complete the deployment, otherwise they will repeat Zhuge Wu Hou's mistake. And once the prince takes Shaanxi and Gansu, the general situation of the world will be completely reversed that day. The Qing government's control over the southern provinces will be greatly relaxed, and the green battalion navy on the Yangtze River will also fluctuate. At that time, as long as the prince Send out a partial division, and most of them will be able to wipe out Huguang, and even go down the river and hit the two rivers. At that time, the world will be at your fingertips!"

"it is good!"

It was Wu Xiaotu who applauded Wang Zhongxiao. In her stomach, she didn't know whether it was "Xiuquan" or "Xiuqing".

Now that my husband’s analysis is clear and logical, I’m also excited, “Mr. Sanhao, let’s try our best to encourage Kangxi to put the main force in Sichuan. Also, what does my uncle think? Is he going to fight the Qing court to the end? "

"My son has already made up his mind," Lu Sanhao said, "It's just that I'm a bit reluctant to part with Ge Ge and the two young masters."

Princess Jianning, Wu Shilin, and Wu Shifan will definitely stay in Beijing as hostages, and Wu Yingxiong is a bit of a child. Otherwise, he would not have been killed by Kangxi in history!
Wang Zhongxiao suddenly thought of something at this time, so he asked Lu Sanhao: "Sanhao, does the son know that the prince is using tricks to cheat his illness?"

Lu Sanhao shook his head: "I don't know. This is what the prince meant!"

Wang Zhongxiao nodded, "If he doesn't know, then it's easy!"

As soon as Lu Yifeng and Lu Sanhao left, another visitor came to Wang Zhongxiao's house in Tofu Lane, and this time it was Yang Qilong who was looking very happy.

Yang Qilong is hot now!

Because he gave another of his sisters named Yang Xiaomi to Yu Wang Fuquan as a foreign residence, and he became Yu Wang's uncle in a sudden, can this not be popular?
Although that Xiao Mi has no name or distinction, but he is "predictable"!She needs to have a face and a figure, and like Yang Xiaohuan, she has been "trained". After Yu Wang Fuquan got her, he put aside a bunch of Manchurian and Mongolian "noble girls" in his family.

Although those women were all selected by the "draft", the standard of the "draft" in the Qing Dynasty was not based on looks at all, but on family history!You have to be aristocratic women from Manchuria and Mongolia to be selected.

If the pedigree is not noble enough, it will be free to look like a fairy!

But the problem is how many daughters born of a group of "savage Jurchens" and "Mongolian nobles" can look good?And even if it is a natural beauty, isn't there still a level of "disfigured and blemishes"?

That Tongrentang Lejia didn’t know whether he didn’t know how to vaccinate human pox or he was afraid that the vaccination would fail and cause casualties. In short, none of the Manchurian and Mongolian nobles in Beijing had ever been vaccinated, so there were so many marijuana seeds!
Moreover, this smallpox is especially easy to find children, regardless of gender. If you have not had the pox, basically everyone has had it once.

So the errand of drafting for the Qing royal family really doesn't need any aesthetics
Of course, it is still the beginning of the Qing Dynasty after all, and the top day is to choose a bunch of ugly people to serve Aixinjueluo. It has not yet reached the point where they are all close relatives. problem.

"What? Xiao Mi is pregnant too? It's really fast!"

Just as Wang Zhongxiao and Yang Xiaohuan welcomed Yang Qilong into the inner hall, they heard another piece of good news.

Yang Qilong's younger sister, Yang Xiaomi, is pregnant with Fuquan's child!
Yang Qilong smiled and said: "Of course it will be soon, it's all counting the time, can you not come soon?"

Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile: "With King Yu covering you, third brother, you will have the wind and the wind in the city of Beijing, and the rain and the rain. Maybe you can bring disaster to Kangxi in the future!"

"This, this joke can't be taken." Yang Qilong was startled by Wang Zhongxiao's words, and subconsciously glanced at Wang Shiyuan who was sitting in the inner hall - besides Wang Zhongxiao, Yang Xiaohuan, and Yang Qilong in the inner hall, Yu Deshui and Wang Shiyuan are two masters.

Yu Deshui is one of his own, and this Wang Shiyuan
"Brother Yang," Wang Zhongxiao pointed to Wang Shiyuan, "This is the chief rudder!"

Of course Yang Qilong knew who the "chief rudder" was?He hurriedly stood up and bowed to Wang Shiyuan, "Yang Qilong, the rudder master of the Zhili sub-rudder of the Tiandihui, has a meeting with the chief rudder master Zhu!"

Wang Shiyuan also returned the salute, and said with a smile: "We are all brothers of the Tiandi Hui, so there is no need to give such a big gift. From now on, we will be both teachers and friends, as long as we are brothers."

"As well as teachers and friends" is the new positioning of the relationship between the monarch and his ministers in "The Theory of the World is Public" and "Ming Yi Dai Fang Lu".

In the future, even if the new Ming dynasty succeeds, and the third prince Zhu became Emperor Xiandi of the Ming Dynasty, he would have to "be both a teacher and a friend" with his courtiers.

Seeing Yang Qilong take his seat again, Wang Zhongxiao asked again: "Third brother, tell me the truth, do you have any intention of starting trouble in Beijing?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide from Brother Shikai," Yang Qilong said, "Now most of the Eight Banners' elite soldiers have been incorporated into the new army.

If the front is not done well, most of the more than 1 people will have to be sent up.At that time... our chance will come! "

"Third brother, you are wrong!" Wang Zhongxiao shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Yang Qilong said, "I didn't calculate this number, it was Fuquan who told me, how can it be wrong?"

“What he was talking about was only the number of Manchurian Bannermen,” Wang Zhongxiao said, “it did not include account opening, another account, wrappers, Sula slaves, nor the Eight Banners Han Army and Eight Banners Mongols.

If all these are counted, the number of people will have to increase several times or even ten times! "

In history, Kangxi was able to fight a long-term war of attrition with Wu Sangui. Of course, it was impossible to rely on only [-] soldiers of the Eight Banners. The Eight Banners are not so much a "nation" as an "organization". The core of this "organization" is of course full The Zhenghu bannermen of the Eight Banners, the so-called "Zhenghu" probably means "authentic".

In addition to the main account, there are three types of bannermen, the account holder, the other account holder, and the coater.
Among them, the account holders and other accounts are all bannermen with unclear origins, either former domestic slaves, or speculators who joined the Eight Banners establishment - the Shaoxing Bannerman Yao Qisheng is in this category, and some are regular households The children born outside the bannermen used various means to set up a separate household.

As for the wrappers, they were actually flag slaves with an establishment. Among them, the wrappers in Shangsanqi were banner slaves under the direct control of the emperor. In fact, they were no different from the Zhenghu bannermen—the Zhenghu bannermen were also the emperor's slaves!
And the coats under the Five Banners are the slaves of the big and small banner owners, which is much less interesting, but it can be regarded as a banner staff.

And under the wrappers, there are house slaves who have no establishment. A house slave is a house slave, and a wrap is a wrap, they are completely different!The former has no organization, while the latter has an organization.

But it’s not that domestic slaves who don’t have an editor do not have a way to create an editor. Many of those who open accounts and change banners are promoted from domestic slaves—as long as their masters have connections and are willing to promote them, this organization will come. up!
In addition, in this three-level pyramid consisting of the regular bannermen, the other households, the account-opening bannermen, the coatmen, and domestic slaves (the other households, the account-opening bannermen, and the coatmen can be regarded as one level), the regular bannermen are the least Yes, and the more people go down, the more people there will be!

Therefore, when Kangxi faced an unfavorable battle situation and suffered heavy losses, he could definitely expand the source of Eight Banners soldiers by absorbing other accounts, account openings, coaters, and house slaves into the regular banner team.

"Third brother," Wang Zhongxiao said again, "if we want to do something big around Beijing, we can't act recklessly. We still have to follow the rules of the Eight Banners and slowly manage our own strength. First of all, we have to give Xiao Mi has an identity! It’s not okay to sleep with King Yu for no reason! Only when she has an identity can her son have an identity, and he can do great things in the future!”

Yang Qilong nodded, "Shikai, that's why I came here. You see, what kind of identity should I give to Xiao Mi? Can the coater get it? If it's really not possible, I'll be a house slave and then go to another place. go up the way of Hu."

"Don't make a coater," Wang Zhongxiao said. "Although King Yu himself can open the back door of the coater, what is the future of the coat with white flags? If you want to do it, then make a big one. Give it to her." Open another account of Nala's family!"

"Na Lashi?" Yang Qilong asked, "A member of Mingzhu's family?"

"Correct!"
