Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 282 Wu Xuanye keeps his braids but not his hair! (Seeking a monthly pass, asking for a subscription)
A large army is walking through the peaks and valleys among the Qinling Mountains.There are tens of thousands of people and horses.The former army has already passed under the towering Shaoxi Mountain, and is still heading west along the surging Wuguan River.The former army has already crossed Wuguan, and the rear army has just crossed the Qi River, which is still outside the border of Shaanxi Province.

Wu Sangui, the President of the Ming Dynasty, Xi Wang, was among the team that entered the customs. He was riding a Hexi steed that was tributed by Taijidash Batur from the Heshuote Department of Qinghai Mongolia. The prince's crown of good wings is covered with a big red python robe, a jade belt is tied around his waist, and his face is full of complacency.

The sound of horseshoes was thunderous, and hundreds of Wu's cavalry, dressed in expensive and beautiful fish-scale waist armor and wine cup helmets, and dozens of military officials in various official uniforms surrounded Wu Sangui.

Opening the way in front of Wu Sangui and others were thousands of cavalry led by Ma Bao, the chief cavalry commander under his command, all wearing red cloth armor, holding dozens of red flags, billowing in the wind, majestic.

Behind Wu Sangui and the others, countless red banners rolled up, and there were endless infantry in red cloth visors and hat helmets following them.

The main force of the Western Army of Ming Dynasty has finally entered the customs!
It's not Shanhaiguan, but Wuguan!

But for Wu Sangui, the significance of his entering Wuguan this time cannot be overemphasized.Because Emperor Xiaomazi of the Qing Dynasty had previously declared that he would follow the example of Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui in his own conquest to resist Zhuge Liang's northern expedition to the Central Plains, so he settled in Xi'an and came to the emperor to guard the country.

And now that Wu Sangui entered Wuguan as a victor, it means that he has defeated Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty who personally guarded the gate of the country, and won the family of fourteen emperors who conquered the world, and became the capital of Zhuge Liang's five Northern Expeditions. Things that couldn't be done.

What makes Wu Sangui even more excited is that in order to concentrate his strength on dealing with his good brother, Fuquan, the "self-appointed regent", the defeated Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty had to bow his head to him!

The emperor of the Qing Dynasty surrendered to him, a vassal of the Ming Dynasty!

What does this mean?
This shows that Wu Sangui is now older than the little emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Naturally, he can be the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
At the same time, Kangxi's professing a minister also made him avenge the shame of being forced to shave his hair and surrender to the Qing after introducing the Qing soldiers into the pass!
If one of the emperors is brought in to lead relatives into the customs, even if he recognizes six-year-old Shunzhi as his father, even if he wants to cut more land than Yanyun sixteen prefectures, Wu Sangui will also recognize him, at most people will call Shi Jingtang the second!

But in the end, the benefits he got were much worse than Shi Jingtang's!

Not to mention that the son emperor was not elected, but also became a servant of the young emperor of Shunzhi. This is really a disgrace to the traitor world!
A traitor like him would be ridiculed if he went down to see Shi Jingtang and Qin Hui after his death. One of them is the emperor and the other is the executive deputy emperor. Although they are scolded after death, they are very beautiful when they are alive .Where is it like Wu Sangui, if he is a traitor, he should go to a place like Yunnan, which is similar to being sent to the army.In the end, he wanted to be a big traitor in Yongzhen Yunnan, but the little emperor Kangxi refused!
Just thinking about it makes me angry!
Thinking of this, Wu Sangui coughed heavily.

Hearing his cough, Liu Xuanchu and Wang Shirong, the two dog-headed soldiers, immediately rode forward.

Wang Shirong said: "My lord, it's getting cold, would you like some extra clothes?"

Liu Xuanchu also said: "My lord, everything is ready. I can handle big things for you at any time!"

It turned out that the yellow robe had already been made for Wu Sangui, and this time it was time to strike while the iron was hot and embrace Wu Sangui on the throne in one fell swoop!
But Wu Sangui's cough is not because he needs to add clothes, but because he wants to get something from Kangxi!

"The old man was outside Shanhaiguan, and Dorgon shaved his head for no reason. It's not that the old man is small, but this loss, the old man must get it back! Xuanchu, Shirong, how do you think the old man should look for it?"

Wang Shirong said: "My lord, Dorgon cut your hair, you can also cut Kangxi's hair!"

Liu Xuanchu nodded: "Yes, we're going to cut their braids! We can't just cut one, we have to cut them all! The Manchus killed so many of us with one hair, this time we must get it back. It's over. Give them braids but no hair!"

"Okay!" Wu Sangui nodded, "Come here, see you, Xuan Ma Bao!"

Some people enter the customs, and some people are exiting the customs!
And the people who have left the customs are now heading to Tongguan, the east gateway of Xi'an!

For the past two days, the small and formidable Tongguan City has been heavily guarded by large troops and their families.The four gates of Tongguan-East Gate, West Gate, South Gate and Upper South Gate, have been taken over by the guard camp of Emperor Kangxi's "West Eight Banners" since the arrival of the imperial driver the day before yesterday. The relatives lead the flag soldiers to guard and strictly check the entry and exit.Outside Tongguan City, all places where troops can be stationed are full of horse infantry troops and their families.Not only were the houses of the local people taken up by the military family members, but there were also tents and horses in the surrounding open space.

Although Tongguan is extremely dangerous and there are a lot of troops gathered here, the tense atmosphere still spreads everywhere.Perhaps it was to ease the tension of the big guys and avoid camp roars. At night, countless bonfires would be lit around Tongguan. From a distance, they were dotted with stars, as if the stars in the sky had fallen.The sound of drums and trumpets to announce safety continued to sound, and groups of patrolling knights galloped back and forth. No one knew how many people were working overtime.

However, it is not unreasonable for these people to work extra night shifts, because in Huayin County, which is not far from Tongguan, the commander-in-chief of General Wei, the leader of the Western Army of Ming Dynasty, and Wu Shicong, the general manager of Ningxia, is already flying high above the city!
Wu Shicong led [-] Shaanxi-Gansu cavalry to march eastward from Wuzhangyuan five days ago. He was not obstructed along the way and entered Huayin County, which had just been abandoned by the Qing army, at dusk the day before yesterday.

The [-] Shaanxi-Gansu cavalry were recruited from Liangzhou, Ganzhou, Xining, Pingliang, Ningxia and other state capitals and Fengxiang, Shaanxi when Wu Yingqi, Wu Shicong and his father and son were in Gansu.Many of them are descendants of the Shaanxi-Gansu Ming army, and some of them still retained a certain amount of power after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and they were considered powerful in Gansu.

The main forces of Wu Sangui's Shanshan bandits are actually old frontier soldiers from Datong Town, Yulin Town, Ningxia Town, Gansu Town, and Shaanxi Town.There is too much common language with those descendants of the Ming Dynasty frontier soldiers who are still suffering in Shaanxi and Gansu.Many descendants of the frontier soldiers of the Ming Dynasty came to join the army crying when they saw the Xiwang Army wearing Ming Dynasty costumes—our own people are coming!Hurry up to vote. If you want to be a hero in the world, you have to vote now, and there will be no place to make meritorious service any later!

Because this gang of Shaanxi-Gansu cavalry who were eager to do meritorious service moved too quickly, they ran from Wuzhangyuan to Huayin County in only three days, which frightened Kangxi.If it wasn't for the fact that the family members evacuated from Xi'an were too slow, there were not many boats at Fenglingdu, and it was impossible to transport the [-] Banner soldiers and [-] to [-] family members to Shanxi immediately. Kang Mazi didn't want to wait for Wu Sangui to send For the envoys and reinforcements who came, just slip away first.

Fortunately, Wu Shicong's army did not continue to march towards Tongguan after arriving in Huayin, nor did it stop the family members who had withdrawn from Xi'an to transfer to Tongguan through the official road north of Huayin County.

But Kangxi was still a little restless, for fear that Wu Sangui would suddenly turn his back on Xi'an and send troops to raid his camp in Tongguan!

Although Kangxi has been presenting the facts and reasoning with his subordinates these days, telling them that Wu Sangui will definitely support "Kang Ji Daqing" to fight Fuquan, the pseudo-regent—now that the Qing Dynasty is "Fu is strong and Kang is weak", if Wu Sangui Raid Kangxi, then Kangxi will be over immediately, and the civil war in the Qing Dynasty will end immediately.This is of no benefit to Wu Sangui, how could that old fox do it?
But who can guarantee that the old fox will not go crazy?
Perhaps Wu Sangui thought it would be better to cut off Kangxi's head to relieve his hatred and win him more support from the Han people.

So Kangxi was in a state of anxiety in Tongguan City for the past two days!Even Mo Luo, the governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi, Chen Tingjing, the minister of Shanxi regiment training, and Yu Chenglong, the assistant minister of Shanxi regiment training, all felt that Emperor Kangxi was a little restless.

Mo Luo, Chen Tingjing, and Yu Chenglong are all loyal slaves or loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty. They came from Shanxi together today. Apart from welcoming them, they just wanted to make peace for the two brothers Kangxi and Fuquan. This brother is incompatible, An Nengrong world?At this moment, seeing Kangxi's restless appearance, the three of them felt that something was going on.

Both Mo Luo and Yu Chenglong glanced at Kangxi's teacher Chen Tingjing. Chen Tingjing also knew that he had a heavy responsibility, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Actually, the regent, no, is Yu Yu. The king has no plans to usurp the throne, at least not yet."

"Yes, yes," Mo Luo said with a smile, "King Yu is actually not that strong. A while ago, the general Mu Zhan under King An was defeated in Huaibei and lost Xuzhou, which shocked Henan and Shandong. King Yu had to Avalokitesvara was sent to lead the new army from Fengtai Camp to Jining to resist the Northern Expeditionary Army of Liu Jinzhong, the Northern King of the Puppet Ming Dynasty. Now there are only Yang Qilong’s Zhili Tuanlian in the Zhili area, Shi Lang’s navy, and the Mongolian cavalry directly under King Yu. The number is different. Few, but most of them are not very able to fight."

Yu Chenglong, a capable official who is said not to make much money, also echoed: "That's right, King Yu invited King Gong and Heilongjiang General Ba Hai to Beijing a while ago, and wanted to transfer troops from outside the customs to enter the customs, but was rejected by Prince Gong." He and Bahai refused. King Gong and Bahai proposed to hold a meeting of ministers to discuss the state affairs, and finally King Yu had to agree to the request of King Gong and Bahai.”

"Huh!" Kangxi interrupted with disdain on his face, "What kind of battle did Fuquan fight? He lost [-] elite soldiers in Suzhou and Xuzhou for nothing! Those [-] elite soldiers were in Huguang, but in Jiangnan and Only the eight battalions and [-] elite soldiers led by me personally can compare with the bloody battle against the rebels of the false Ming Dynasty. The so-called new army that Fuquan set up in Beijing is nothing compared to these [-] elite soldiers! The new army of Guanyin Bao So what if they are all in Beijing? So what if Bahai’s troops from outside the pass enter the pass? If you haven’t fought Wu Xiwang and Wang Ni, you can’t be considered a real elite.”

Kangxi's words were full of confidence, and at the same time, he also showed his determination to go to war with Fuquan!

As far as he knows, the so-called "new army" under Fuquan is not new at all. It is still the same as when Wang Fuchen was training at the small station. It is also an old-fashioned nine-in-ten series. It is difficult to coordinate such gun tactics and equipment on the battlefield.

Therefore, Fuquan's new army can't beat Kangxi's Xi'an Banner Army at all-the Xi'an Banner Army was born on the battlefield to pay tuition and compete with Wu's army!

The current Xi'an Banner Army has long since abandoned the Weiyuan General Cannon and the poorly-fired sub-communication cannon, which are only useful for shooting fixed targets, and instead equipped a large number of bronze artillery that can fire three-jin and six-jin units.At the same time, it also abandoned the shotgun tactics of nine advances and ten serials, and instead adopted the tactic of arranging shotguns on both sides of the long spear and sword formation, relying on the long spear formation to defend or cover the attack of pike soldiers and sword soldiers.

Moreover, the veterans of the Xi'an Banner Army are those Banner Army and Green Battalion soldiers who were severely beaten by Wu Sangui in southern Sichuan. They have all experienced on the battlefield for several years. A sea of ​​blood, how does Fuquan's army compare?
What's more, Wu Sangui will provide up to [-] reinforcements—although there are not many reinforcements, and they may not actually go up to fight, but as long as they can help cheer and cheer, it is enough to clarify their position.

Seeing that Kangxi seemed very confident, Mo Luo, Chen Tingjing, and Yu Chenglong also hurriedly expressed their positions.

"Your Majesty, since you have made up your mind, this servant is willing to lead the [-] green battalion elite from Shanxi to serve as your Majesty's vanguard!"

"Your Majesty, I am also willing to lead the Shanxi regiment to train thousands of people to follow His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, I also have a regiment of five thousand, which is enough to fight a thief!"

Hearing these three people express their views, Kangxi became more confident. Twenty thousand green battalion plus fifteen thousand regiment training plus forty thousand West Road Banner Army, a total of seventy-five thousand!
"Okay, I have seventy-five thousand elite soldiers, what else is there to be afraid of?"

As soon as Kangxi's words fell, it was as if someone was making things difficult for him, and Xiao Guizi's panicked voice suddenly came from outside the door: "The emperor, the emperor is not well, the Wu army from Huayin is coming to Tongguan!"

When Kangxi heard this, his complexion changed. He didn't know where the confidence he had just now had gone?
Seeing Kangxi's sudden change of face, Mo Luo habitually expressed his loyalty: "Your Majesty, the [-] Green Battalion soldiers of the slaves have already arrived in Puzhou and Jiezhou, and they can march into Shaanxi to fight against Wu Ni at any time!"

Chen Tingjing and Yu Chenglong saw it, and immediately wanted to follow up, but before they could say anything, Kangxi put on a serious face and reprimanded: "Mo Luo, don't talk nonsense, who is Wu Ni?"

Mo Luo, Chen Tingjing and Yu Chenglong were all taken aback. Kangxi gritted his teeth and said loudly to Xiao Guizi outside: "Xiao Guizi, immediately send someone to summon the generals. I want to go out with them to welcome them!"

welcome?Mo Luo, Chen Tingjing and Yu Chenglong thought: Shall we fight?It seems that the emperor is quite brave, and he was not afraid of being beaten by Wu Sangui!
"The Western King of the Ming Dynasty ordered, please Qing Lord Wu Xuanye come out to receive the order!"

Under Tongguan City, following Ma Bao's roar, Mo Luo, Chen Tingjing, Yu Chenglong, and all the other soldiers of the West Road Banner Army who followed Kangxi to meet him all looked in the direction of Kangxi.

Some of them already know who "Qing Lord Wu Xuanye" is?
This is the full name of Emperor Kangxi after Wu Sangui gave Kangxi the surname "Wu" in the "Chang'an Covenant" signed not long ago. Kangxi is now Wu Xuanye!

Although Kangxi signed the "Chang'an Covenant", he also expressed his gratitude to Wu Sangui for bestowing his surname-now Wu Sangui is the king, and Kangxi is his minister. It is a great honor for the king to give his surname to his ministers!Of course Kangxi would like to thank him.However, his face is still a bit embarrassing, so this "Wu" surname is not a common surname, and Kangxi's common surname is Aixinjueluo.

But now that Ma Bao came from Huayin with more than ten thousand riders, and also brought Wu Sangui's decree, and asked to see "Wu Xuanye" by name, could Kangxi not agree?

"Xuan Ye is here." Kangxi had no choice but to answer boldly.

"What?" Ma Bao looked very dissatisfied, "Wu Xuanye, did you miss something?"

"Chen Wu Xuanye is here!" Kangxi gritted his teeth and corrected.

Mo Luo, Chen Tingjing, and Yu Chenglong who just arrived were shocked!

Why did Kangxi become "Chen Wu Xuanye"?

And Kangxi couldn't care less about the disappointment in his courtiers' hearts at this time, he could only try his best to stick to the bottom line - he couldn't kneel down to meet Wu Sangui's order, and he couldn't leave the protection of the guards to go forward to receive the order.

Ma Bao took a look at the more than ten thousand Eight Banners soldiers brought out by Kangxi to guard the field - they formed a large square formation under Tongguan City, and Kangxi, who was riding a horse and surrounded by a group of people, could retreat in at any time.

Since this Kangxi is not easy to catch, Ma Bao doesn't think about extra problems, but he can't completely make Kangxi happy, so he said with a smile: "Lord of the Qing Dynasty, seeing that you are neatly dressed, it is inconvenient for you to get on and off the horse, so it is not right. The decree has been delivered, but I still want to tell you the content of the decree."

As he said that, he opened his throat and said: "His Royal Highness Xi Wang said, since Wu Xuanye is a minister to his old man, he should abide by his rules. Xi Wang's rule for men with pigtails is to keep the braids but not the hair, and keep the hair but not the hair." Braids! Wu Xuanye, what do you want to keep?"

"Of course it's the head!" Kangxi heaved a sigh of relief, "Xiao Guizi cut off the braid for me!"

In fact, this braid is not unavoidable for Manchurians.The rule in Manchuria is "grow your hair but not your head". It is absolutely unacceptable to grow your hair, but there is nothing wrong with shaving your head bald. It is much better than cutting your head with braids.

When Ma Bao saw Kangxi's attitude, he couldn't find fault at once, so he continued, "Xi Wang said, all the people here in Tongguan have to cut their braids! Back then, Dorgon ordered to shave their hair and make clothes easier. I don't know how much it hurt. People! The King of Xi wants to seek some justice for them today. Anyone who dares to keep their braids will have their heads cut off!"

Kangxi's braids had already been cut off by Xiao Guizi, but his head was still there, so he could hold up his braids high and shouted: "All ministers, all soldiers, I order you to cut off your braids immediately. Keep your heads!"
