"I respectfully wish to greet you, Your Majesty!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
"Your Majesty is victorious! The Ming Dynasty is victorious!"
"..."
As soon as he entered Shengjing City, Zhu Houcong heard a cry from the mountains.
There are still a lot of blood stains left in the city, and it can be seen that there was a period of commotion at the city gate.
The elites of the Ming Dynasty have been stationed in various strategic places in Shengjing City, and those who welcomed Zhu Houcong when he arrived in Shengjing were the generals of the Ming Dynasty, and Guarjia Tu, the heroic and courageous loyalist of the Ming Dynasty who was said to have been stationed in the Northeast for twenty years. Mo'!
Although Tu Mo is only in his twenties now, does it mean he is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty if he does not allow people to abort their mothers in the womb?
Tu Mo's head was now bald, without any braids, and behind him there were more than a dozen Manchu Eight Banners, the same situation.
And more, the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the coated slaves cut off their braids one after another to express a clean break with the Qing Dynasty.
"Are you Tu Mo from Kaicheng?"
Zhu Houcong looked at Tu Mo and immediately said: "Yes, I never thought that my Ming Dynasty would have such a loyal slave-building slave! Come, give me fifty taels of silver, and make Tu Mo the general of Liaodong, Manchuria, and the leader of Manchuria in our Ming Dynasty." , Governor of the Manchurian camp and all military forces!"
General Liaodong? !
Governor of the Manchuria camp and military affairs?
Tu Mo was shocked, but he didn't expect Ming Chao to be so bold when he took action.
Since the dedication of the city, the people of Tu Mo have become numb. Wherever they go, they are scolded by the Eight Banners of Manchuria as Manchu traitors, so Tu Mo simply refuses to do anything and really surrenders.
Not only that, he also took the lead and supervised the cutting of the braids of the Eight Banners in Manchuria. If they did not cut off their braids, he would personally send them to the villagers, cut off their heads and stand them in the city as a spectacle in the capital and to intimidate the Manchurians.
Tu Mo thought that as a Manchu, he would only be given an idle official position after the surrender, but he never imagined that he would be given such a high position in one fell swoop!
He jumped for joy and immediately kowtowed, shouting, 'The Holy Emperor is coming to this world', and loudly said: "I thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"This slave has his own book!"
After saying that, Tu Mo did not hesitate and said directly: "When I came, I saw the defense plan of Shengjing. Shengjing had nearly ten thousand troops. Now most of them have been defeated by the emperor's army, and Shengjing... …”
Before he finished speaking, Yu Dayou on the side scolded: "What Shengjing?! According to the name of the Ming Dynasty, it should be called Liaodong! General Liaodong, don't make a mistake!"
Hearing Yu Dayou's words, Tu Mo suddenly understood and kowtowed quickly: "You deserve to die, you deserve to die."
"It doesn't have to be like this, I'm still kinder."
Zhu Houcong smiled and said, "General Gua, just keep talking."
kindness?
There are still piles of people in Jingguan, and countless heads of people have fallen to the ground. Do you call this mercy?
Tu Mo was full of curses in his heart, but he did not make any move on the surface. Instead, he said respectfully: "Your Majesty's grace and kindness, I can't thank you enough! That Kangxi kid disobeyed nature and brought about his own destruction! Nowadays, there are no more than 10,000 soldiers in Liaodong. The Eight Banners garrisoned at Shanhaiguan only numbered fifty people, and it was just when His Majesty was attacking Liaodong!"
"The only ones outside the pass who are on guard are General Ningguta and General Heilongjiang. Your Majesty needs to send a general to guard the places that must pass through. General Ningguta is my uncle. I can write a letter to lure my uncle to fight. , after the first battle, I will persuade my uncle to surrender, and from then on, I will definitely be able to take over Guanwai!"
Tu Mo did not hesitate and said loyally: "I am willing to follow your majesty and capture the entire Liaodong for your majesty!"
He was absolutely unwilling to let him die for the Qing Dynasty.
After all, he is a young man with a bright future, and he still wants to go back to the alleys of Beijing to play with Xiao Taohong.
Therefore, he was originally a fake loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.
Now he is real.
After all, the mistake he made was a bit outrageous. He directly handed over the most powerful city outside the pass to Zhu Houcong. Three thousand soldiers and horses in this city were enough to hold on and wait for reinforcements.
Moreover, this reward is a bit too generous. Governor of Manchuria Camp, all military affairs? It just means that you have the final say on matters in Manchuria!
In the past, Tu Mo looked down upon the Ming Dynasty's dog.
Tu Mo now said...
What's wrong with being a dog? !
I, Tu Mo, am not named Aixinjueluo. I love the Qing Dynasty. Does the Qing Dynasty love me? If I really love me, why do I need to come to Shengjing for gold plating? I have long been looking for a good job in Beijing, or in places like Shandong, Henan, and Jiangnan, instead of in the barren land of Shengjing.
There isn’t even a handsome person in the alleys of Shengjing!
As for whether something will happen to my family in Beijing?
Don't worry, Tu Mo is Guarjia!
The relationship between Tu Mo and Obai is much closer than that between Wu Mahu and Obai. They are both from the Suwanguarjia clan.
As for why Tu Mo was not as worried as Wu Mahu, it was also because the Guarjia family had a great business, and it was impossible for Kangxi to cut off an arm and thoroughly investigate the Guarjia family.
But Wu Mahu was different.
A family is a family, and Wu Mahu and Obai have interests related to each other! Back then, Wu Mahu was Dorgon's general, and Obai was at odds with Dorgon back then. Now, isn't it because of profit that Wu Mahu joins Obai's sect?
Even Obai was slandered and rebelled, and the Guarjia clan was fine, let alone Tu Mo.
Anyway, Tu Mo has now made up his mind to become a top Manchu traitor in history comparable to Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng!
What a traitor can do, I, a traitor, can also do!
It's a pity that Tu Mo's beloved wife is still in Beijing, otherwise she would give it to the general of the Ming Dynasty, just like Fan Wencheng's story!
Zhu Houcong nodded calmly, and then said: "General Yu, I order you to quickly mobilize the army, and together with General Tu Mo of Liaodong Manchuria, capture Jinzhou and Liaoyang, and march to Shanhaiguan!"
"The last general takes command!"
"Slave obeys the order!"
"..."
Without hesitation, Yu Dayou handed him over to save his life, and Tu Mo also quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Houxuan to express his gratitude, imitating the manner of the wrappers at home.
This Tu Mo is quite aware of current affairs.
Zhu Houcong couldn't help but be a little surprised. He thought that the Eight Banners of Manchuria in the Kangxi Dynasty were still bloody, but he didn't expect that such a guy had appeared.
However, it cannot be said that there is no bloodiness. The Eight Banners of Manchuria who were fooled into surrendering ended up fighting bloody battles until the last moment, and then were beheaded by Tu Mo.
Zhu Houcong basically had no doubts about the full occupation of the outside world.
After all, in the early years of Kangxi, anti-Qing upsurge occurred in the south, so the Qing Dynasty deployed heavy troops in the south to wipe out the remaining strength of the Han people.
And for areas outside the customs, I am particularly reassured.
The area with the largest number of troops stationed is in the Shengjing area, with a total strength of only 9,000.
There are only three thousand armored men here in Ninggu Pagoda, but there are many slaves in Ninggu Pagoda. After all, it is a famous place of exile.
The Heilongjiang general only has 3,000 troops at his disposal.
As for the Xiongguan Shanhaiguan in the late Ming Dynasty, the Xiongguan that once had 50,000 Guanning elites guarded it was now only forty-six people, a mix and match, guarded by the Shanhaiguan Road guerrilla general Chen Mingyuan.
Yes, it may not be believable.
The garrison at Shanhaiguan really only had forty-six people.
Later, in the 14th year of Kangxi's reign, there was only one increase in troops, adding 754 people in one go, which was a total of 800.
There are more than forty-six defenders in the Shanhaiguan area.
There were also 500 local Han people who surrendered.
The reason for this is also very simple. After Dorgon entered the customs, he was worried that leaving a heavy guard at Shanhaiguan would arouse the suspicion of the surrendering Ming army and the Han landlords and gentry, so he only kept these few people.
can only say,
If God does not take it, you will suffer the consequences; if the time comes and you fail to do it, you will suffer the disaster.
"Guo Xun, you led the Shenwei battalion to move north and capture Ningguta and Heilongjiang. The two battalions showed their power and courage, and followed me to guard Shengjing. After Shengjing was pacified, they followed me south to regain our Han family's mountains and rivers. !”
Zhu Houcong was very high-spirited and immediately announced: "Send an envoy to North Korea and ask King Shengjing of North Korea to see me. At the same time, I will order the North Korean army to accompany me and attack Ninggu Pagoda."
North Korea was forced to surrender by the Qing Dynasty. After the surrender, it still used the reign name of Chongzhen. Now we have gathered together to see what choice North Korea, the most obedient dog in the past, would make.
If the choice is wrong, then Zhu Houcong will have no choice but to dispatch the subsequent three battalions of Liwei, Zhenwei, and Xiaoyong to defeat North Korea within three months.
The second battalion of Fenwu and Yaowu were to open up to the west, go directly south to attack Shanxi, and cross the river into Shandong.
Huh?
Wait a minute, isn't this the script for the Qing Dynasty's entry into the country?
Okay, I feel like this script from Manchu Entry into Customs can be borrowed.
For a moment, Zhu Houcong couldn't help but smile softly, and at this moment, Lu Bing came over escorting an old Qing Dynasty general, who was Fengtian General Wu Mahu.
At this moment, the rat braid on the back of Wu Mahu's head has been cut off, leaving only a handful of loose braids. After seeing Zhu Houcong, he swallowed, his eyes full of survival: "This Ming Dynasty Your Majesty, I wish..."
"Push it down and chop it off."
Zhu Houcong was ruthless: "Pass it to Liaodong!"
Wu Mahu was shocked when he heard this and shouted quickly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't want it! Your Majesty, the old slave is useful! The old slave is the general of Shengjing. With just one decree, Liaoyang, Jinzhou and other places can be destroyed without a fight." His Majesty!"
"No need, I already have Tu Mo by my side."
Zhu Houcong said: "Guarjia's name is louder than yours."
Hearing what Zhu Houcong said, Wu Mahu didn't know what to say for a moment.
Once cities such as Shengjing, Jinzhou, and Xingjing are conquered, and then Gualjia Tumo persuades them to surrender, other small cities with only dozens or hundreds of troops stationed will naturally surrender without a fight. Even if they don't surrender, the artillery fire will Damn it, it’s over too.
As soon as he thought of this, Wu Mahu burst into tears and cursed angrily: "Tu Mo, you traitor! Even if I die, I will not let you go, the traitor of the Manchu people!"
With these words, he seemed to have forgotten that just a few seconds ago, he was thinking about surrendering.
The swords, axes, and knives in the army were very fast. Soon, the head of Fengtian General Wu Mahu had been chopped off, and then salted and preserved by a special person, ready to be reported to the cities in Liaodong.
"His Majesty."
Lu Bing hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, although this old guy deserves to die, if he can buy horse bones for thousands of gold, he may not be able to..."
"A thousand dollars to buy horse bones? Tu Mo is enough."
Zhu Houcong shook his head, with a cold look: "This Wu Mahu followed the leader of the thieves Dorgon to attack the city and plunder the territory, and killed countless sons of my Han family. Even if such a person knelt down and begged for mercy, I would not care. Accept the surrender!"
"Similarly, if you face Manchu elders over fifty years old, kill them all regardless of whether they surrender or not; if they are young and strong, if they surrender, they can be incorporated into the Manchu battalion and used as vanguards who dare to die. If they don't surrender, kill them! "
Those who surrender in Manchuria can be used as green battalions.
Tu Mo is the leader of the Green Camp in Manchuria.
Of course, if he has made great achievements, Zhu Houcong will be very kind and grant him the status of the Manchurian Ming Army, and wait for a suitable opportunity to go to conquer the colonies and defend the Ming Dynasty's overseas gains and interests.
If he died because of the acclimatization and was killed by the aborigines, Zhu Houcong expressed great regret and would erect a monument in his hometown in Jianzhou to commemorate his great achievements among the Manchus.
Zhu Houcong quickly entered the Fengtian General's Mansion. From the Fengtian General's Mansion, he found a lot of memorials and news about the customs, and soon saw a message.
Ao Bai is dead.
"Hey, Xiao Xuanzi and Xiao Guizi joined forces to kill Ao Bai."
Zhu Houcong couldn't help but smile, and then said: "In this way, it will not be a problem to conquer the north within half a year."
After Obai's death, the situation in the Qing court must have been turbulent.
After all, in the past few years when Obai was in power, he promoted many officials, such as Wu Mahu. Although it did not matter, he might be disliked and suspected by Kangxi.
But I have to say that Ao Bai's death was a bit unfair. Kangxi wanted to be in power too much and lost his mind.
There is no doubt that Obai will definitely lead the loyal ministers.
Although he was flamboyant and domineering, the so-called usurpation of the throne was all made up.
If he really wanted to usurp the throne, look at what Cao Cao is like. Cao Cao would not be stupid enough to enter the palace alone and then be captured by a group of wrestlers.
However, Obai's situation is also a bit special. After he has gained power, this man is neither greedy nor lustful. He focuses on clearing up state affairs and puts national interests before personal interests. Even if the probability of him rebelling is not high, it will always make people suspicious. Is this guy going to rebel?
"It's okay, Master Ao."
Zhu Houcong smiled slightly and said: "Although you were beheaded by me in the Chongzhen Dynasty, of course I will avenge you in the Kangxi Dynasty."
Zhu Houcong's eyes were stern. For him, the current difficulty of the Kangxi Dynasty was not difficult.
"Kangxi Xiao Xuanzi, I'm here, don't die, I want to take you back to Beijing to clean toilets."
…
Beijing City, Cining Palace.
The Empress Dowager Bumubutai was sitting in the Mingtang, listening to Kangxi respectfully reporting the situation to her. Bumubutai felt a little dazed for a moment, as if she had seen her eldest son Shunzhi Emperor Fulin.
It was as if time was reincarnating again. At this moment, just like that moment, Bumu Butai could not help but feel a little more affection for Kangxi.
Bu Mu Butai is Xiaozhuang Dayu'er.
But compared to Xiaozhuang Dayu'er in the Chongzhen Dynasty, the current Dayu'er... no, the current old Yu'er can be said to be a little fatter, with a round body, big shoulders and round waist, and can be said to be a qualified aunt.
I can only say that it won’t work without taking sheep placenta extract.
And Dayu'er's political skills were excellent. The reason why Kangxi was able to eradicate Obai was also under Dayu'er's instruction.
Without the instruction of the Empress Dowager, how could Kangxi kill powerful officials?
But now that the situation is really resolved, Kangxi is in great power and high-spirited. If you ignore the pockmarks on his face and his short height, he has quite the air of a young hero.
And Da Yuer was also very relieved.
"Mom Huang, after I personally take charge, I now understand the difficulties of national affairs."
Kangxi sighed deeply and said to Dayu'er: "Wu Sangui trained his troops and horses every day and sharpened his weapons; Geng Jingzhong sent servants harshly and extorted silver rice; Shang Kexi did business in Guangdong and earned no less than millions of silver taels every year! This It is difficult for the three vassals to occupy one side, communicate with each other, and spread their party members widely."
Yes.
For Kangxi, San Francisco is currently the top priority.
The two vassals of Pingnan and Jingnan each have a force of 15 assistants, six or seven thousand soldiers in the green camp, and 20,000 soldiers in Dingkou each. King Pingxi has fifty-three soldiers in the army, 12,000 soldiers in the green camp, and tens of thousands in Dingkou.
Moreover, Yunnan and Guizhou are already Wu Sangui's private territory. Yunnan Admiral Zhang Guozhu, Guizhou Governor Cao Shenji, Admiral Li Benshen and other Qing officials are already Wu Sangui's eyes and ears.
Such a powerful force was enough to make Kangxi feel a sense of crisis.
Kangxi said confidently: "Empress Ma Ma, I plan to ask the royal family general Prince An to lead his troops south to severely defeat the three feudal lords, destroy them, and solve the serious problem in my heart as soon as possible."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Kangxi finished saying this, Dayu'er decisively interrupted Kangxi's words: "No!"
"Before your death, your Ama wanted to pass the throne to Yue Le! This Yue Le is capable of stealing your throne! You just killed Obai, and the throne is not stable! Not to mention whether this is the necessary time to cut down the vassal clan. , what should you do if Yue Le wins?! Now that Yue Le is recuperating at home, it’s better not to let him come out of the mountain."
Da Yu'er's face remained calm: "As for San Francisco, you can wait for as long as you can. Wu Sangui is older than you. The best time to cut down the feud is when Wu Sangui dies."
Hearing Da Yu'er's words, Kangxi suddenly understood. Just when he was about to say something, a sharp voice came from his ears:
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, urgent report from Shanhaiguan!"
A hurried eunuch came crawling from a distance. He even fell down before entering the Cining Palace, but he did not dare to delay. He immediately came to Kangxi and Da Yu'er, knelt down and said :
"On June 27th, Xingjing and Ningyuan fell. Shengjing fell that night. Vice-capital Tongtu Mo surrendered to the enemy, and General Fengtian died for his country! On June 28th, Jinzhou and Liaoyang fell. The troops pointed directly at Shanhaiguan. Yesterday tomorrow The army broke through the Shanhaiguan garrison, and the Ming army entered the pass!"
"ah?"
Kangxi was in a daze for a moment, his face was a little surprised, and his expression was a little confused: "Ming...Ming army?"
"The Ming Dynasty is alive again, and has it entered Shanhaiguan?"
For a moment, Kangxi felt that the world was a bit fantasy, as if it had been turned upside down.
Wasn’t the Ming Dynasty destroyed long ago? Although there are still people who rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, especially the third prince Zhu and the Zheng family, aren't they all in the south, in Taiwan, Fujian, Guangdong, and Sichuan?
What's going on outside the customs?
Even if the Ming Dynasty was resurrected, how did it come back from outside the customs? !
This is unscientific.
In an instant, Kangxi felt like his soul was spinning.
He felt like that Zhu Youjian.
No, Zhu Youjian was killed by Li Zicheng.
I am like that Li Zicheng.
what is happening?
And it was not only Kangxi who was confused, but also Lao Xiaozhuang.
She was even more confused. The Ming Dynasty was wiped out under her eyes. Why did it pop up again now?
Xiaozhuang took a deep breath, looked at the eunuch with firm eyes, and said without anger:
"What's going on? What happened to Fengtian General Wu Mahu? Where did this Zhu Ming come from?!"
