Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 170 The Son of Heaven Blocks the Gate of the Country, the Prince Visits His Hometown (Please Subscribe, Please Ask for a Monthly Ticket)

The people at the bottom heard that Wang Zhongxiao was good at handling things, and that Kangxi was ashamed and happy. They all looked up at Kangxi, as if they wanted to hear him talk about how Wang Zhongxiao handles things. They all wanted to learn from Wang Zhongxiao!
Of course Kangxi understood the meaning of these slaves, so he closed the secret folder and handed it back to Xiao Guizi for the latter to keep it, and then said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that Wang Zhongxiao discovered a lot among the Portuguese in Haoao. Many Western mathematics books, including those of Euclid, Pythagoras, Fibonacci, and Descartes, will also be sent to me this time. He I'm also worried that I don't know much Western, so I have to send some teachers who are proficient in Western Han to teach me Western."

Western arithmetic books?Spanish teacher?Why is the emperor's hobby so strange?

The ministers below were stunned for a moment. If the emperor likes beautiful women, treasures, and antiques, everyone will find a way to find them.But this Western arithmetic and Western language can't!
Just when these loyal ministers and servants of the Qing Dynasty were wondering whether they should also learn Western mathematics and languages, Emperor Kangxi had already changed the topic: "Now the Haoao Portuguese who support the two thieves, Oboi and Wu Sanwei, have been killed by Wang Fuchen. , Wang Zhongxiao defeated, and even their St. Paul's fortress was also broken. Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao also said in the title book that the East Indian officials and businessmen of the Western Hongmao Heyi and Hongmao Yingyi, as well as Franji (Spain) Yi When the governor of Luzon heard that my army was destroying Portugal, he sent envoys to Haoao to ask for trade. He also said that he would never sell guns and gunpowder to Wu Sanwei and Oboi.

Wu Sanwei and Aobai have lost foreign aid, while Shang Zhixin, the prince of Pingnan Prince, and Li Lan, the admiral of Guangdong, respectively defended Shajiao, Baiyunzhai, Zhangmutou, and Danshuichang, blocking the way for Wu and Ao to invade Dongguan and Huizhou. .These two thieves are currently trapped in Shenzhen, Kowloon, and Xiangdao, with no reinforcements outside and a shortage of people inside. Even if they are not defeated for the time being, it is difficult for them to grow bigger.When Chen Fufu led the sea route to aid the navy and went south, it was time for the two thieves to be defeated.

As for Sun Yanling, Zu Zeqing, Ma Xiong, Guo Yi and other four thieves, with Wang Fuchen and Kong Sizhen watching, they can only guard the house.The situation in Huguang seems to be fairly stable. Although there are rumors that Wu Guogui is about to join the bandits, I have deployed [-] Eighth Banner new troops and [-] Green Battalion new troops in Huguang. It should be no problem for the garrison flag army and the green battalion to resist.

So now it seems that the most dangerous is the Shaanxi-Gansu battlefield. Once Wu Sangui is allowed to leave Qishan Mountain or cross Qinling Mountains and enter Guanzhong, the general situation of the world will really collapse that day! "

When Kangxi talked about the battle between Guangdong, Guangxi and Huguang, he was relatively relaxed, with a pockmarked face and a smile, appearing confident.But when his talk moved to the Shaanxi-Gansu battlefield, he was full of worries about the country and the flag!

The current "Battle of Qing and Wu" is basically playing chess!
In the past few months, Wu Sangui, in addition to collecting places in Sichuan and Guizhou, also entered Shaanxi. He Xing'an bought grain at a high price, and even distributed many honors for the 45th year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty (11th year of Kangxi) in order to raise grain.

And the Second Young Master Wu Yingqi, who shocked the Eight Banners in the decisive battle at Rongxi Bridge, was sent to Hanzhong to oversee the army!

This all clearly shows that Wu Sangui is going to go out of Qishan Mountain and cross the Qinling Mountains to enter Shaanxi and Gansu!
Kangxi's face darkened again, and he went on to say: "Governor Mo Luo of Gansu and Shaanxi and Governor of Shaanxi Jia Hanfu have recently been playing the ballad that 'Welcome the King of the West and equalize the land' appeared in various parts of Shaanxi! The various prefectures in southern Gansu and the agents sent by Wu Sangui put up notices everywhere saying that Wu Sangui had obtained the fertile soil of Sichuan, and the people in Sichuan were slaughtered by the Qing Dynasty, so now there are fewer people and more land, which can be used to distribute to the poor in Shaanxi and Gansu. Chinese.

This is simply nonsense!The people in Sichuan were clearly killed by Zhang Xianzhong, how dare they rely on me, the Qing Dynasty?Although these are all nonsense and rumors, many ignorant people believe them, and now the people in Shaanxi and Gansu are fluctuating. A group of ignorant and poor people are thinking of getting something for nothing. If Wu Sangui really called, I'm afraid there will be many people from Shaanxi response. "

Having said that, Kangxi's tone has become cold and gloomy, almost gnashing his teeth.

The expressions on the faces of the University Scholars and Hanlin Scholars kneeling at the bottom also followed Kangxi's and became extremely dignified.

Wu Sangui obviously hasn't been idle these years. He must be working hard to improve his rebellion skills, and it has been quite effective. Now he takes a knife and stabs at the weakness and vital points of the Qing Dynasty!
Not only does it go straight to the key point of Shaanxi and Gansu, but it also resorts to the big move of equalizing the land and dividing the land!

What's more, the fertile fields in Sichuan are used to lure the poor in the barren land of Shaanxi and Gansu. How powerful were those poor people from Shaanxi and Gansu when they rebelled against Ming Dynasty?Back then, when Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng were kings of Chuang Chuang, they just shouted that the land should be equalized and the tax should be exempted. In the end, some taxes were waived, but the land was not evenly distributed.

But now Wu Sangui seems to really want to equalize the land, and it is still a good land in Sichuan!This will make him go to Shaanxi and Gansu, and he will casually mobilize hundreds of thousands of old Qin troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty is still so messed up?
A very soft voice said: "Your Majesty, how about, why don't we also share the fields?"

what?
Can the Qing Dynasty also equalize the land?
The big guy followed the voice and found that it was Xiong Cilu, a Hanlin scholar who spoke.

Kangxi frowned and asked, "Xiong Cilu, do you think that I, the Qing Dynasty, also want to learn from Prince Zhu and Wu Sangui to equalize the land?"

"Your Majesty, I feel that everything should go the way it should be. Think about the worst, just in case." Xiong Cilu said here, his head and face were covered with beads of sweat, and he couldn't continue speaking.

But how smart is Kangxi, an emperor?Do you know what Xiong Cilu's "what if" is?
That must be in case Wu Sangui's craftsmanship out of Qishan is better than Zhuge Liang, what about the Qing Dynasty?
"But where can I find so many good fields for the poor below?" Kangxi frowned, "If Sichuan has not been lost, then I still have a large piece of good land in my hand that can be released. But now Sichuan has already"

When Kangxi said this, his face suddenly changed, and he looked at Xiong Cilu fixedly.

Xiong Cilu hurriedly kowtowed to the ground, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, there are still countless fertile fields in the Liao land outside the pass."

"Xiong, what did you say?"

Before Kangxi could speak, Suo'etu was already yelling, "Beyond the pass is the escape route for our Eight Banners! Do you want to distribute it to the Han people?"

"That's right, outside the pass is the ancestral land of Manchuria!"

"The land outside the pass must not be moved!"

"Your Majesty, please punish the bear and give me the shoes!"

It's time to shout "kill"!

But Xiong Cilu was terrified, lying there trembling, not to mention any regrets in his heart-he is not a Manchurian, so why worry about it, at worst Wu Sangui came and he became a second minister!

He was regretting here, when Chen Tingjing beside him suddenly shouted: "What use will the ancestral land of Manchuria you mentioned be used in the future?"

What's the use?

Do you still need to ask?Of course, when the Central Plains can't stay, run back outside the pass!

But it seems inconvenient to say this now, right?
Aren't we discussing how to fight Wu Sangui now?The defense of Guanzhong has not yet started, so I thought about running away. Isn't this inappropriate?

For a while, no one answered Chen Tingjing's question.

Chen Tingjing gritted his teeth, and replied simply: "Isn't it because the late emperor was worried that the Eight Banners' disciples would not be able to stand in the Central Plains? If there was an emergency, he could leave a way out and wait for the future? But now who will the Eight Banners' disciples?" Plowing the fields? No matter how fertile the land outside the pass, if you don’t know how to cultivate it, is it possible that you can produce food by yourself?”

This really confused a group of Manchurian scholars.

No matter how fertile the land outside the pass, it is impossible to produce food in the hands of the Beijing Eight Banners who can't cultivate the land!

If there is land but no food, don’t they still have to starve to death?
Chen Tingjing took a deep breath, and then said: "Besides, if Wu Ni can really occupy the Central Plains one day, will he let go of the fertile land outside the pass? Even if he doesn't want it, those stretched necks under his hands are looking forward to the distribution of the land." Can the Fubinghu of the land not want it?"

That's right!
If Wu Sangui and his subfield soldiers swept the Qing Dynasty out of the Central Plains, would they still be able to spare the corner of the Northeast?
If Wu Sangui took advantage of the vigor to seize the Central Plains and swung his army east out of Shanhaiguan, with one vote to sweep the veterans of the Central Plains, and beat a group of Qing Dynasty's underdogs who couldn't farm the land and starved for the fertile soil outside the pass, wouldn't it be like playing?

Emperor Kangxi had already made a decision in his heart, nodded and said: "Xiong Cilu and Chen Tingjing are right. Taking ten thousand steps back, if I really want to temporarily retreat outside the pass, I have to arrange people in advance to reclaim the land outside the pass. Fertile land! Otherwise, the outside of the pass will be barren, and I will not be able to stand with the Eight Banners!"

"emperor!"

"emperor."

The few academicians below felt that Kangxi's words were a bit frustrating, but they wanted to remonstrate, but they didn't know what to say?After all, Shunzhi and Dorgon turned the Northeast into a "private land", just in case the Han people rebelled one day, and their descendants couldn't beat them, so could they still have a place to run away?
And now...it seems a bit overwhelmed.Kangxi made preparations in advance and recruited some farmers from the customs to cultivate in the Northeast. What's wrong?If you don’t do these things now, it’s really bad in the future, and you run out in a panic and don’t even have to eat!
Kangxi saw that the academicians below were silent, so he waved his hands and said: "You don't need to say anything, I know it in my heart. But the matter of reclaiming the Northeast is related to the destiny of the country, so don't act rashly, and I have to ask the Empress Dowager for advice. Before the Empress Dowager gives me a benevolent order, no one should talk nonsense that this is my will!"

"The slave (subject) obeys the order."

The ministers below hurriedly received the order.

Kangxi said again: "I have another idea. Today I want to hear your opinions. The gains and losses in Guanzhong are related to the rise and fall of my Qing Dynasty. It must not be ignored! Wu Sangui will definitely go to the army in this battle, and if I don't go to the army to go to the army, won't it seem that I am afraid? Wu Sangui?"

"Your Majesty, do you want to conquer in person?"

"Your Majesty, no!"

"Your Majesty, you are going to conscript yourself. Who will watch over the capital? What if there is something wrong with the capital?"

How could the academicians below dare to let Emperor Kangxi personally conquest?Even Yue Le can't beat Wu Sangui, wouldn't it be more dangerous for Kangxi to go out?In case something goes wrong, what can the Qing Dynasty do?

But Kangxi had already made up his mind, and he didn't listen to anyone's words. He waved his hands and said, "The capital is guarded by the Empress Dowager, Fuquan, and Changning. What could go wrong? Besides, when I went to Guanzhong, I only went to Xi'an to sit in town. Will go to the front line in person, just like the story of Emperor Wei Ming's imperial conquest to Chang'an."

Hearing what Kangxi said, the University Scholars and Hanlin Scholars below really don't know how to persuade the emperor to conquest in person and let the brothers guard from house to house!

This scene seems familiar!

Isn't that the case when Ming Yingzong let Wala arrest him?

Although Kangxi only said that he would go to Chang'an to sit in the town, he would not go to the front line in person. But who can say for sure about the war?Now it is rumored everywhere that Wu Sangui is going to leave Qishan, maybe this is a game?What if Wu Sangui wants to use Wei Yan's Ziwu Valley strategy to attack Xi'an across the Qinling Mountains?

But who dares to say that?The three brothers Kangxi, King Yu, and King Gong are very close. If you want to persuade them about Ming Yingzong and Ming Daizong, wouldn't that mean alienating the Tian family brothers?
Besides, isn't there an old lady who can stabilize the situation?
After Kangxi finished the military meeting in the South Study Room that day, he asked Xiao Guizi to take the victory-reporting book written by Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao, and went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to announce the good news to the old queen.

During this period of time, there has been a lot of bad news coming from various places, but almost no good news. "The Great Victory in Hao-Macao" is finally a rare victory, and it should make the old lady happy.

When Kangxi arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Peace, he was almost stuck in the meal time. The old lady was preparing to have dinner with her three grandchildren, Fuquan, Changning, and Longxi!Seeing Kangxi coming excitedly, Kangxi's little brother Longxi is only 12 years old this year, and his temper is quite lively. When he saw Kangxi coming in, he yelled loudly: "Brother Huang, why are you so happy today? Is that rebel Wu Sangui killed? Scourge?"

Kangxi laughed and said: "Lao Qi, you think so beautifully, that old bastard Wu Sangui is still very strong, and is about to leave Qishan!"

While talking, Kangxi had already arrived in front of the old lady, and then gave a thousand salutes: "Grandson pays respects to Huang Mama."

The old lady smiled and said: "Xuan Ye, you came just in time. Dinner is about to start! You, you have been very busy recently, have you not come to eat with Ai's family for some time?"

"Emperor Mama," Kangxi sat down with a smile, then took the test book of Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao's victory from Xiao Guizi and handed it up, "Look at this. This is the test book of Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao's victory. They have already laid down the fortress of Hao'ao. It is a western bastion that is stronger than the city of Rezalan on Dayuan Island. Sun'er thought they would take it for a few months, but he did not expect to take it in a month!

Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao's ability to fight is really getting better and better! "

"It's great, but I don't see them taking down Oboi, Wu Sanwei and even Sun Yanling, and they haven't settled down yet!" The old lady was obviously very dissatisfied with Wang Fuchen and his son's failure to "actively fight the civil war".

"Emperor Mama," Kangxi said, "In any case, the battle between Guangdong and Guangxi has stabilized. Sun Er estimates that Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao's army suffered some losses in Hao'ao, and it will take a few months to make up for it. , Lei, Lian, Liu and other places have marched. I want to issue an order to him and Kong Sizhen to make Sun Jiqing a general of Guangxi, do you think it will work?"

"Don't forget General Guangxi," Bumbutai waved his hand, "If you want to seal it, seal it as King Dingnan! Sealing King Dingnan will not only reassure Kong Sizhen, but also reassure Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong. As long as they are all at ease , the father and son Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao should be able to separate themselves with peace of mind!"

Kangxi nodded, and said with a smile: "It's still the same as Liu Bang giving Han Envelope the title of King Qi!"

"Yes!" Bumbutai laughed, "The most important thing now is to beat Wu Sangui. As long as it can help, it doesn't matter even if a few new feudal lords are appointed!"

"Imperial Mama, my grandson thinks the same way," Bumbutai said, "My grandson wants to announce the royal conquest when the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, and go to Xi'an to supervise the battle!"

"What?" Bumbutai was taken aback, "Is it that serious?"

Kangxi nodded and said: "The situation in Guanzhong is not stable. Yue Le's troops have been defeated again. If I don't go to sit in the town to boost morale, I am afraid that the Shaanxi and Gansu armies will collapse at the first touch. If there is a loss in Guanzhong, then the Qing Dynasty will be in big trouble. Because in the eyes of the Han people, occupying Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan is only the master of one-third of the world, and it is difficult to become a climate, while Guanzhong has won the world. Since ancient times, those who occupied Guanzhong and won the whole world include Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui, and Tang! No matter what, I have to go to Guanzhong myself, I can't be worse than Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui."

Bumubutai knew that his grandson had big ideas, so he didn't raise any objections, but asked Kangxi, "Xuan Ye, after you leave the capital, who will stay in the capital?"

"Grandson wants to invite Huang Mama and Fuquan to stay in the capital!" Kangxi looked at his fifth younger brother Chang Ning again, "I still want Chang Ning to stay in Shengjing outside the pass!"

"Let Changning go to Shengjing?" Bumbutai was taken aback again, "Why? Is the situation really so critical?"

Kangxi said with a serious face: "Huang Mama, I always plan for the worst first. If something happens, everyone should have a way out. So my grandson is going to take out the money before leaving Beijing." The 1000 million mu of wasteland outside the pass will be given to the Han people in the pass who have no land and little farmland.”

Bumbutai thought for a while, then nodded lightly and said: "Xuan Ye, you are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, you have to make up your own mind! If you really make up your mind, the Ai family must support you!"
