Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 365 The Republic and the United States Xu Jun, this year's Three Kingdoms is also a roll, right? (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

Wu Shifan finally became the emperor!
Li Zhongshan thought to himself: It seems that he is still a real man!I don't know if the emperor will die unexpectedly this time?

"Old Taishan," Li Zhongshan asked again, "how is Wu Yingqi? Has he been arrested?"

Wu Guogui shook his head, then took out an envelope and placed it in front of Li Zhongshan, saying: "Shikai, this is a letter from my second brother. He is now the prime minister of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Lu Shangshushi, governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, The government was opened, the holidays were held, and all Chinese and foreign military forces were supervised."

"What?" Li Zhongshan was taken aback, and said to himself: This Wu Yingqi is imitating me!

Thinking of this, he quickly opened the envelope, took out the letter paper inside and opened it to read.After watching for a while, his brows frowned slightly.

"Shikai, what did my second uncle write in the letter?" Seeing her husband frowning, Wu Xiaotu was a little worried that the war between the two sides would resume, so he asked aloud.

"Wu Erye said in the letter that now the Great Zhou Kingdom is united as one, and the inside and outside are consistent. We must follow the example of the Shu Han and establish the false emperor's reality. From now on, Shifan will be the virtual emperor of the Great Zhou, and he will learn from Zhuge Wuhou and be the Emperor of the Great Zhou." The truth. He also hopes to form a "Wu-Han Alliance" with us to fight against the Northern Qing and expel the Tartars together." As he spoke, Li Zhongshan looked at his old Taishan Wu Guogui again, "Old Taishan, what do you think? "

Wu Guogui said: "Since Wu Zhou set up troops in the Southwest, we three brothers have assisted the First Lord. Now that Emperor Xiaozhuang (revised) has passed away, I voted for Daming again, and he is the only one left among the three brothers. Yes. Moreover, his strength has always been the strongest, and in this war, he suffered the smallest loss. If he is willing to follow the example of Marquis Wu and take real power in the name of the prime minister, then give Shifan a false ruler, Gao Gao If it comes to confession, I am afraid that Wu Zhou and others will praise his loyalty."

Obviously he is unwilling to take the blame, but the effect is to be praised by the inside and outside, and everyone is united!
Li Zhongshan nodded and said: "I have known for a long time that the king of Qin is loyal and righteous. It seems that Wu Zhou has the king of Qin as the regent, and he will be able to unite as one. Without ten years of hard work, it is impossible for my Ming Dynasty to defeat it." devoured."

What he said was not unfounded. In history, Wu Yingqi did not become emperor after Wu Sangui's death. At that time, he controlled Wu Zhou's Yuezhou army-this was the main force to stop the Qing army from attacking.And his son Wu Shicong controls Wu Zhou's Guangxi Army——Wu Zhou's situation in Guangxi was created by Wu Shicong himself!
However, Wu Shifan has been staying in Yunnan and has never participated in the war between Wu Zhou and the Qing Dynasty, so it is impossible to have much military power.

Under such circumstances, if Wu Yingqi insisted on competing with Wu Shifan for the throne, it is quite possible that he would succeed in taking power.But Wu Zhou, who was already precarious, might die even faster after such a toss.

And Wu Zhou in history persisted for another three years after Wu Sangui's death. This has something to do with Wu Yingqi's loyalty, right?

Nowadays, although Wu and Zhou are equally precarious, this regime still controls Shaanxi-Gansu, a source of high-quality and cheap soldiers and war horses.Fighting in the Jiangnan water town, the power of the cavalry is severely compromised.Because there are rivers everywhere that can prevent the cavalry from maneuvering, Wu Zhou's cavalry has no other great use except for charging on the cramped battlefield.

If the battlefield is moved to the Central Plains, Wu Yingqi's cavalry corps can not only be used to charge the battle, but also carry out large-scale campaign maneuvers, battlefield shielding, and strikes against the enemy's logistics lines.This will cause great difficulties for Daming's campaign organization and logistical support!
Therefore, if the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty wants to win a big victory, it must establish an equally powerful cavalry corps!

In addition, Wu Zhou was not the only opponent of the Ming Dynasty to rule the world. The Qing Dynasty still occupied half of the Central Plains, Northeast China, and Mongolia!

Wu Guogui also mentioned the Qing Dynasty at this time, and he said to Li Zhongshan: "Shikai, don't forget that there is also the Beiqing Kingdom in the north that is coveting!

Then Kangxi is not an idle person, he will not just sit and watch the Ming Dynasty spend ten years annexing Wu Zhou... Today's world, after all, is a tripartite confrontation!

Besides, taking advantage of the opportunity of Da Ming and Wu Zhou to attack each other in the past two years, Bei Qing also slowed down.That Kangxi still has some ideas. He relied on the conference of kings and ministers, the distribution of enfeoffments, and the north-south official system, which can be regarded as reuniting the hearts of the people.We can't treat Beiqing as Beiyuan! "

Li Zhongshan seemed to be persuaded by Wu Guogui, so he nodded immediately and said: "Old Taishan, you are right, now is not the time to annex Wu and Zhou in one fell swoop. In fact, the internal integration of my Ming Dynasty has not been done well! Now the real republic Only some areas of Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Anhui can figure it out, and we are far from home in cultivating internal morality!"

Wu Guogui nodded again and again: "Yes, Daming has taken too much territory, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, and maybe more"

He is exploring Li Zhongshan's background.

Zhejiang and Jiangxi have been completely captured, and less than half of Hunan has been captured, but there is nothing to say about the remaining half. It must be captured. As for other sites, it depends on the results of the peace talks between the two sides.

"There are still Hubei and Guangxi!" Li Zhongshan said, "As long as Wu Zhou's military mansion is withdrawn from Hunan and Hubei, and Sun Jiqing's remnants are withdrawn from Guangxi, the tripartite will be established!"

Wu Guogui tentatively said, "Shikai, then Shijue and I."

Li Zhongshan said: "Lao Taishan, you can be the governor of Hunan for one term, and Shuangyu can be the admiral of Hunan for one term. According to the official system of the Ming Dynasty, a governor and an admiral are both five years. Your father and son must be in Dazhong within these five years. Under the guidance of the General's Mansion and the Secretary of State, complete Hunan's nationalization transformation. After five years, you will have to enter the court as officials.

Lao Taishan, many things can be done in five years, and now Hunan is like a blank sheet of paper, which can be done by you and Shuangyu!If you play well, in the next few decades Hunan's political officials will only follow you and Shuangyu. "

Of course, Li Zhongshan's Chinese people's republic also has a certain degree of compromise. If you want to dig deeper, it is actually to transform the warlords into aristocratic families, and at the same time promote a group of national scholars and Chinese people to serve as the backbone of the republic.Finally, a republic of aristocratic families, scholars, and people was formed.And opened up two upward channels for the lower class, "becoming a soldier and going to university."

Wu Guogui and Wu Shijue's father and son were in charge of Hunan for five years, which opened a convenient door for them to change their identities-their two fathers and sons already had many military households who had divided the land, and of course there were also a group of Hunanese who served them. Scholar, if these people can be changed into national scholars and nationals, and another group of talented and brave men from Hunan who are capable and willing to serve the Ming Dynasty can be promoted.Then in the future, the Wu family father and son will be disciples and old officials all over Hunan!

The same number of ways will also be implemented in Guangdong, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Fujian, Hubei, Guangxi, etc. If all goes well, after five or ten years, there will be three Li (Li Zhongshan, Li Fuchen) in the Ming Dynasty. , Li Laishun) plus Wu, Zheng, Liu, Chen, and Lu, a total of eight great families.If Yang Qilong can return, it will be the top of the Ming Dynasty controlled by the nine aristocratic families.

Of course, Li Zhongshan's "Li Yingwang" family must be the top of all the families.At least before Li Zhongshan, the great general, passed away, no one could replace him!

Beijing, the Great Hall of the Temple of Heaven, where the king and ministers discuss politics.

A political conference in the "United States" of the Qing Dynasty is in progress.

This Qing Dynasty is still very progressive now. It has progressed to the point where "Kangliang" would shed tears when seeing it, and Cixi would want a coup d'etat when she saw it!
But it doesn't work if you don't make progress!
Now the "Battle of the Three Emperors Conquering the Ming Dynasty" has decided the outcome, and the "Emperor System" has lost to the "Republic"!Geng Jingzhong, who insisted on the imperial system, was the first to be defeated. I don't know where he died?However, Wu Zhou, which has a relatively high imperial system and relatively low republican element, lost a pair of emperors at once—the Great Zhou Taizu Shenwugao Emperor Wu Sangui and the Great Zhou Xiaozhuang Emperor Wu Yingxiong. , Wu Yingqi became the prime minister to lead the republic.

Look, if this does not progress, it will perish!

Not even a chance to be a semi-colony for the foreign devils!

What can Kangxi do?We must continue to adhere to the path of uniting the masses to establish a constitution, otherwise the Qing Dynasty will really perish!
"Your Majesty, slave." Prince Kang Jieshu, who had just fled thousands of miles back to Beijing from the south of the Yangtze River, was still a little uncomfortable, and called himself a "slave" as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Don't, don't, Uncle Emperor, don't be called a slave, our Qing Dynasty is now a united country," Kangxi quickly corrected, "I won't be a slave anymore!"

"Ah, no more slaves?" Jie Shu looked at the layout in the Great Hall of the Temple of Heaven, and it really didn't look like a scene where masters and slaves discuss politics.All sit down!And still sitting in a circle, it is impossible to tell who is the master and who is the slave?
"Yeah, slaves can no longer be slaves. You must join the crowd!" Kangxi felt a little helpless, "If you are a master and slave again, my Qing Dynasty will perish! If you die, you can't be a slave, can you?"

"The emperor is wise." As soon as Jie Shu said this, he habitually kowtowed to Kangxi.

"Don't kneel, don't kneel. In the Qing Dynasty, the monarch and ministers are united. The etiquette of kowtowing and kneeling is almost the same. When the political meeting is held, there is no such rule as kneeling and kowtowing."

Don't be a slave, and don't kowtow. I'm not used to it!

Jie Shu had no choice but to stand there, looked around, and found that everyone was sitting and discussing politics leisurely!
"Uncle, how is the fight in the south? Do we still have a chance?" Kangxi looked at the "very slavish" Prince Kang, and felt kind in his heart, so he didn't invite him to sit down, but asked directly War in the South.

"I can't beat it." Jie Shu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, slave."

Even if you don't call yourself a slave, you won't be able to speak!

"Minister, become a minister." Kangxi said to Jieshu.

"The minister's soldiers called Li Zhongshan and Li Fuchen's people were beaten badly!" Jie Shu said, tears streaming down his face, "The minister almost died. Woohoo"

I'm crying!
Although his life was saved, it was almost only his body. Even the concubines and children he had in Jiangxi were gone.

"Uncle Wang, don't be too sad," Kangxi hurriedly comforted, "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. You have persisted in Jiangxi for so many years, and it is already an honor to lose!"

Jie Shu is now the number one general in the Qing Dynasty!
Although he has been defeated all the time, under the attack of Li Zicheng, Li Fuchen, and Li Zhongshan, he persisted in Jiangxi for so many years. This is indeed the only one in the Qing Dynasty!

Moreover, fighting with high-level opponents is also the best way to improve one's skills.

Kangxi saw that Jieshu was crying better, and asked again: "Uncle Wang, how can we defeat the Ming army in the Northern Expedition and keep the third part of the Qing Dynasty?"

After hearing this, Jie Shu took out a bag and handed it to Nalan Xingde, who was in charge of walking the political assembly, who immediately sent the bag to Kangxi.

Kangxi opened the pocket and looked inside, it seemed to be some lead bullets.Feeling a little strange, he reached out and took out a buckshot, and immediately realized that something was wrong.It's not a whole buckshot, but a half-drawn buckshot, with some hollowed out in the buttocks.

"How did this gun cut corners?" Kangxi asked.

"Your Majesty, this is not a gun that cut corners, but a gun used by the Ming army's smoothbore gun." Jie Shu said, "I don't know why, this kind of half-drawn gun that has been hollowed out is put in the barrel and fired far away. Accurate! The reason why the Ming army defeated both Chen and Wu Sangui was because of flintlock guns, especially rifled flintlock guns! The second is because of this kind of bullets. division, reform the military, and equip a large number of flintlock guns and such jerry-built bullets."

Kangxi nodded. It seems that there is some truth in discussing politics together. This method of strengthening the army has been discussed!
He then asked again: "Uncle Wang, how is Wu Zhou's situation? Can you continue? I want to send troops to Henan, do you think it is feasible?"

"Your Majesty, Wu Zhou will definitely be able to persevere!" Jie Shu said, "Wu Yingqi has the strength of Zhuge's rebirth, and he will definitely be able to twist Wu Zhou into a single rope! Besides, Wu Zhou must also be able to learn the tricks I learned from Daming." I can learn it. As for sending troops, who does the emperor want to fight?"

Kangxi smiled: "I don't want to fight anyone!"

Jingzhou, Shashikou.

When Wu Guogui took Li Zhongshan's reply letter and met Wu Yingqi in the name of Daming's "Condolence Envoy", the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Lu Shangshushi, Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Kaifu, False Festival, and Governor of Chinese and foreign military forces, They have already escorted the coffins of Wu Sangui and Wu Yingxiong and Wu Shifan, the emperor of Honghua in the Great Zhou Dynasty, to Shashikou on the north bank of the Yangtze River in Jingzhou Prefecture.

This retreat to the north is still very fast!

Wu Guogui first followed Wu Yingqi to burn incense in the Zi Palace of Wu Sangui and Wu Yingxiong—these were two huge coffins, carried by two carts drawn by two eight horses, and they stopped at one place and temporarily built them for use. Inside the shack sheltered from the wind and snow.Surrounded by white-clothed and white-armored veterans guarding the place, it was still snowing, and the sky and the earth were all white, so it was a bit sad and desolate.

Wu Guogui first cried in front of the two big coffins, and then had a hug with Wu Yingqi and cried. After crying almost, he was invited to the "dining banquet". They chatted while eating!
"Third son, I will hand over your Hunan manager to Shijue." Wu Yingqi said to Wu Guogui at the meeting, "The Zhechong Mansion under the management of you and Shijue also stays in Hunan. There are always [-] households. Is it enough?"

"I'm enough," said Wu Guogui, dressed in filial piety, "but Li Shikai thinks it's not enough, he wants Guangxi and Hubei!"

"Guangxi can be returned to him," Wu Yingqi thought for a while, "As for the territory of Li Zicheng in Hubei, I will naturally not occupy it anymore, but the four prefectures of Xiangyang, Yunyang, Yichang, and Shinan block Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Guizhou. Might be let out."

Wu Guogui said: "That means Jingzhou Mansion and Jingmen Prefecture can be let go?"

Wu Yingqi nodded: "At most, Jingzhou Prefecture and Jingmen Prefecture will be ceded. In this battle, Li Zhongshan has already won the three provinces of Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Hunan, as well as Jingzhou and Jingmen, which are rich in rice. We can only unite with Beiqing and fight him to the end!"

"Unite with Beiqing?" Wu Guogui asked, "Wu Xuanye didn't turn his back on him?"

Wu Yingqi sneered coldly: "Third brother, do you think I'm afraid that he will turn his face? Although my Da Zhou's vitality has been greatly injured, but the Ganshan elites are still there. If he wants to turn his face, then I will accompany him to the end!"

Wu Guogui smiled: "Can Luoyang and Nanyang be defended? I heard that the army led by Kangxi has already arrived at Kaifeng Mansion!"

Kangxi's Northern Qing Dynasty sent troops to confront Ming Dynasty before, but the forward positions of the two sides were relatively far apart. The northern line of Ming Dynasty was placed in Xuzhou, while the southern line of Qing Dynasty was placed in Yanzhou, and they faced each other all the way across.

After learning that Wu Yingqi and Wu Sangui were defeated one after another, Wu Zhou's army abandoned Jiangxi and Hunan and retreated north and north.Kangxi became energetic, and Yujia went to Kaifeng mansion in person.But who to fight with has not been announced!
"He didn't come to fight my family," Wu Yingqi said plainly, "he came to help my family fight Daming!"
