The boat swayed, and the waves swayed from time to time, which made the boat drift with the current.
Kangxi, who was escorted into the ship, felt regretful. It could be said that if he had to do it again, he would never choose to go to Tanggu Port in Tianjin.
But even if you don’t come here, what can you do?
The Henan Green Camp only had more than 7,000 people, and they had been dispersed by the Ming army's cavalry. If they had gone to the Henan Green Camp, they might have been killed by some rebel army in the chaos, and their deaths would have been worthless.
In the chaos of war, there was no need to even guess. The enemy must be desperately trying to find traces of him. Under such circumstances, how could he escape?
If Mu Zhan had not died in the battle, he might have been able to organize a breakout.
Perhaps, the best thing to do is to commit suicide in the palace, in order to retain the last dignity of the Qing Emperor, right?
But no matter how much Kangxi regretted, he could not change his current ending.
He was very unwilling.
He has only been in charge for less than a month, and he was defeated in a daze before he even understood the situation in various places. How can he be reconciled?
Moreover, Kangxi was only fifteen or sixteen years old. How could he be willing to commit suicide if he was asked to commit suicide? !
But no matter what, Xiao Guizi and Kangxi were pushed into the boat.
On the loft of the painting boat, the musicians played beautiful music. Although the dancers looked a little nervous and even frightened, they still had muscle memory to dance. They twirled in gauze skirts and walked light and graceful. There was dancing in the boat room.
On top of the main seat, Zhu Houcong, who was wearing the imperial dragon robe, calmly held the white chess piece and placed the chess piece on a point on the chessboard.
The one who played chess with Zhu Houcong was Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han Dynasty from Yongle Dynasty.
Zhu Gaoxu frowned at this moment. After a few breaths, he threw in the towel and complimented Zhu Houxuan: "The chess master is superb. I am afraid that even the ancient chess masters who come here are no match for your majesty... I admit defeat."
Seeing Zhu Gaoxu like this, Zhu Houcong smiled lightly.
After coming to Jiajing Dynasty, Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be a completely different person.
Everyone has learned to flatter others.
grandmaster?
Zhu Houcong's current level is that he has just understood the rules, but Zhu Gaoxu knows a lot about chess, but he deliberately lost to Zhu Houcong.
Zhu Houcong was very satisfied with this.
Zhu Gaoxu also sighed heavily in his heart, feeling his scalp numb.
Zhu Gaoxu came here not to fight, but to participate in the Metamorphosis.
What changed was him. Without the protection of his father, the emperor, he became more tactful and wise.
"Okay, let's go down here today. Jin Yiwei seems to have caught a big fish."
After that, Zhu Houcong stretched, and the dancers, singers, and musicians all stopped at this moment, and under the guidance of the Jin Yiwei, they all headed towards the rear cabin.
There were originally many ships in the port, but after Jin Yiwei arrived, all those ships were removed, leaving only this painting boat.
After entering the painting boat, the royal guards discovered that there were actually musicians and singers and dancers on it. It was said that a big shot had spent gold to prepare it in advance, which really surprised Zhu Houxuan.
They were all thinking about escaping, but they still did this.
Don't you think that the boat is so big that even if you get on the boat and escape, you will be easily discovered?
At first glance, it seemed that he had never seen any children from aristocratic families who had experienced anything in the world, so Zhu Houcong decided to wait in the boat to see which of the Manchus would be caught by him.
Even if Kangxi is not caught, it doesn't matter.
Just think of it as coming to play.
Anyway, it can be said that Tianjin City has been won with certainty. The next step is to besiege Baoding and advance into Shandong.
Lu Bing walked quickly, bowed to Zhu Houcong and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Anmin and Zhang Xijian of our Imperial Guards have captured the Qing puppet emperor Aixinjueluo Xuanye and his ugly servant eunuch. Asking for a meeting outside."
"Ugly slave eunuch?"
Zhu Houcong was a little surprised. He had never heard of any ugly eunuchs around Kang Mazi.
Is it Xiao Guizi or San Dezi?
Lu Bing immediately replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, I have seen it. The eunuch is not actually ugly in appearance, but his face is pockmarked, which shows that he is a bit ugly."
Maybe I was overthinking it. After all, a smallpox craze broke out in Beijing during the Shunzhi period, and many people were infected with smallpox. This pockmark is the sequelae.
Maybe Kangxi and this eunuch cherished each other?
The corners of Zhu Houcong's mouth raised slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Bring him in."
No matter who you are, it’s better to meet him.
After hearing Zhu Houcong's instructions, Lu Bing took a step back without any hesitation.
After a moment, two well-dressed guards escorted two shackled young men in.
The two Jinyi guards named Liu Anmin and Zhang Xijian immediately bowed their heads and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Anmin/Zhang Xijian, comes to see you, and I respectfully wish your Majesty to pay your respects."
"good."
Zhu Houcong smiled and nodded, and then said: "I once said that those who capture the Qing puppet emperor can be granted the title of marquis! However, you are waiting here as ordered, so you are promoted to the rank of Qianhu, and you are granted the title of Tangcheng Bo, Uncle Gu Shui, are you willing?"
Hearing Zhu Houcong's words, Liu Anmin and Zhang Xijian were overjoyed and quickly thanked them: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
In the Ming Dynasty, a hereditary and non-replaceable title was extremely important.
Having a title means that you have one foot in the circle of nobles.
However, Liu Anmin and Zhang Xijian became uncles directly from Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi. It can be said that they got lucky! They originally thought that being a Qianhu would bring them great luck, but they didn't expect to get a title.
For a moment, the two immediately burst into laughter.
The tied-up little Guizi felt like she was mourning for her heir. After meeting Zhu Houcong, she was so frightened that she almost peed her pants. She quickly kowtowed: "My slave Gui Duo pays homage to the wise and mighty Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"
Behind Xiao Guizi was Aixinjueluo Xuanye, who was stretching his neck and looking very tough.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Houcong immediately laughed.
Ugly slave?
It seems that Jin Yiwei mistakenly recognized the wrong person, mistook the eunuch Xiao Guizi for Kangxi, and mistook Kangxi for the eunuch.
No wonder, if you don't look at his current demeanor, Xiao Guizi is indeed a talented person and looks quite eye-catching.
Compared with Kangxi, who had an ordinary appearance and even a pockmarked face, he could even be described as looking as good as Pan An.
If Zhu Houcong hadn't known Kangxi's appearance before, he might have mistakenly recognized him.
"Are you Kangxi?"
Zhu Houcong ignored Xiao Guizi who begged for mercy, but looked at Kangxi behind Xiao Guizi, and said with a long smile: "I have been thinking about you for a long time since I received the news."
Kangxi was also quite stubborn, and then snorted coldly: "It's been so long, and I still don't know how you came from outside the customs!"
Yes.
This is something that Kangxi couldn't understand.
He scratched his head and never thought about where the Ming army came from or how the magic soldiers descended from the sky and suddenly appeared outside the pass.
If there were only a few hundred or even a few thousand people, Kangxi understood that they might be broken into parts.
But judging from the information he currently knows, the number of Ming troops is more than 100,000!
With such a large-scale military operation, no one outside the customs was aware of it?
General Fengtian, General Ningguta and General Heilongjiang, have you all betrayed me? !
Kangxi felt very disappointed. For the first time, he felt that the career of being a pro-government was so difficult. He once again regretted his move to seize power. He also regretted why he was still staying in Tianjin instead of running to Nanjing after running away.
"Because of my destiny, the troops and horses are sent directly from this dynasty, no need to travel."
Zhu Houcong shook his head and explained his situation.
After all, there is nothing to hide.
After Zhu Houcong finished speaking, he looked at Kangxi, and then said: "Xuan Ye, I think you are quite good, but have you ever been willing to surrender? If you are willing to surrender, I can guarantee your position as a confidant, and you will definitely be a very popular minister. Worry about food and clothing!"
Yes.
Zhu Houcong was ready to give Kangxi a chance.
If he is unwilling to surrender, he will treat the thief chieftain in public in Tianjin.
If he surrenders...then Zhu Houcong will keep his promise.
Aixinjueluo Xuanye will become the first-rank eunuch in the Forbidden City, responsible for cleaning the toilets in the Forbidden City. Although he does not have a subordinate, he can clean the toilets. His rank is above the other eunuchs, and he will be the same as the Dongchang Superintendent and the Secretary of Ceremony. The eunuchs and eunuchs in charge of the supervision are in the same category!
My father-in-law is Kangxi!
After all, he is the most pockmarked person in history. With this reputation, Zhu Houcong must be treated like a first-class person, right?
As for prosperity and wealth, it depends on the situation.
When Zhu Houcong said this, Kangxi's eyes couldn't help but light up, and his originally dead heart suddenly became lively.
If you endure the humiliation and bear the burden, you will have a chance!
Wasn't Zhu Qizhen, the Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, also captured by Wala? Didn't he finally return to the Ming Dynasty alive and even regain control of the power?
Gou Jian, the king of Yue, was also captured at that time. He suffered hardships every day, and finally endured the humiliation and even destroyed the state of Wu!
As long as you are alive, everything is possible.
My love for Xinjueluo Xuanye may come back one day!
Hope rekindled in Xuan Ye's eyes.
He had always thought that he was going to die.
After all, according to Zhu Houcong's behavior and habits in the past month, he definitely had no reason to survive. However, he did not expect to hear Zhu Houcong's question. Xuan Ye clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and immediately bowed down and said:
"Xuan Ye has little talent and little knowledge. What he did before was all done by the witch Mongolian Bumbutai and the powerful minister Aobai. Xuanye is a puppet! Now I am willing to surrender and surrender to the great emperor of tomorrow. I ask the great emperor to forgive Xuanye for his crimes." !”
"good!"
Zhu Houcong laughed loudly. He naturally understood the meaning of Kangxi's enduring humiliation.
Kangxi would definitely not succumb to others, and his temporary surrender was just a ploy for power. He couldn't help thinking about Gou Jian's story.
But it doesn't matter, Zhu Houcong didn't want to entrust him with important tasks anyway.
"Okay, I'm very satisfied with Xiao Xuanzi's intention."
Zhu Houcong nodded and applauded.
When Kangxi heard the name "Xiao Xuanzi", he was immediately stunned and didn't know what it meant.
And soon, Zhu Houcong raised his voice and said, "Where is Lu Bing?"
"I'm here!"
Lu Bing stood up immediately and raised his hands to Zhu Houcong: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"Call all the eunuchs in the cleansing rooms in Beijing."
Zhu Houcong yawned, and then said: "Remember, it's all! Whether it is the purification eunuch here or in my own time and space, we must gather the highest-level masters to gather all the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital and the military doctors accompanying the army."
"Pull it down and cleanse Xiao Xuanzi, but we must not let him die because of this operation error!"
Zhu Houcong's instructions were sonorous and forceful, and he had already made the best effort he could.
If despite this luxurious configuration, this little Xuanzi still dies of blood loss or infection, then it can only be said that his life is not good.
After Lu Bing said "yes", he immediately called over several imperial guards and prepared to escort Kangxi away.
When Kangxi heard this, he immediately realized something, and his face turned pale. He struggled and shouted loudly: "What do you mean, surnamed Zhu?! I am the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, what do you want to do?!"
Hearing Kangxi's struggle, Zhu Houcong calmed down and said: "By the way, send a few people to watch him day and night. Don't let him commit suicide before purifying himself."
I almost forgot.
Regarding the matter of Little Xuanzi's father-in-law, Zhu Houcong said that he just did it casually.
Zhu Houcong didn't care whether he died after purification or not.
As long as there is this actual result.
"You deserve to die, you deserve to die!!!"
Amidst Kangxi's desperate screams, his figure was pulled away by the Jin Yiwei, and gradually disappeared in front of Zhu Houcong.
Xiao Guizi, who was kneeling on the ground beside him, did not dare to speak.
"Xiao Guizi?"
Zhu Houcong turned his head and looked at Eunuch Gui, and couldn't help but said: "Are you from Yangzhou?"
Xiao Guizi immediately made a statement, with a look of gritted teeth: "I was born in the Yehe tribe and entered the palace because of a crime. I am incompatible with the Aisin Gioro family!"
Although Xiao Guizi has really forgotten the hatred of his ancestors, now facing Zhu Houcong, of course he has to draw out this period of history and write a book about it, saying that he and the Jianzhou tribe headed by Aixinjueluo are incompatible.
Seeing that Xiao Guizi was so excited, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Just go and look after Xiao Xuanzi for me. If you have any problems, report them to me in time, and I will ensure that you have no worries about prosperity and wealth."
Hearing what Zhu Houcong said, Xiao Guizi couldn't help but tremble.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I will take good care of Little Xuanzi for Your Majesty's sake and not let him come into contact with any Manchus!"
…
The chaos lasted for a day and a night before the unrest in Tianjin was quelled.
In this battle, the Ming army won a complete victory.
The "Order of Cutting Braids" was promulgated in Tianjin, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many Eight Banners soldiers who surrendered, and even many Han gentry expressed their opposition. All of them were beheaded by the Ming army, and the rest had their braids cut off.
Zhu Houcong did not need to share the world with the landlords and gentry.
Doesn’t the imperial power go to the countryside?
It doesn't matter, after generations of military achievements, new dignitaries will appear. The Ming soldiers who followed Zhu Houcong in the battle will receive new soil rewards, and he will also recruit soldiers here and form new camps.
The seventh son of Shunzhi, Longxi, who was named Prince Yong in history, was also captured in the Battle of Tianjin. Considering his young age, Zhu Houcong was very kind and gave him a beheading without causing him too much pain.
As for Princess Heshuo, who was married to Obai's nephew, and Obai's nephew Guardja Nardu were also captured together.
In addition, after Jierhalang, Prince Jian Desai, one of the eight iron hat kings; after Daishan, all the kings of Luoduo County, Jieshu, were captured.
After Hauge, Prince Su Fushou, who was also one of the eight iron hat kings, was frightened by the turmoil last night and died of fear.
In addition, many Eight Banners disciples and Manchu princes and nobles were captured. Most of them were famous by their grandfathers and fathers, but in his generation they were unknown trash.
For these princes and nobles, if they surrender, except for those who hold high titles in the puppet Qing Dynasty, the rest will be incorporated into the Jianzhou Camp and the Manchuria Camp regardless of their status, and Bing Bi and Tu Mo will be able to choose them to supplement the cannon fodder.
However, Prince Desai of Jian and King Jieshu of Luoduo County were tough-minded, much tougher than Duduo's descendant Prince Eza of Xin County. They would rather die than surrender, so Zhu Houcong sentenced them to Lingchi, and under the watchful eyes of the people of Tianjin City Ling Chi.
After all, after these Eight Banners soldiers came to Tianjin, they harmed countless people in Tianjin. However, they were punished like this, but they still forgave him.
As for Shunzhi's eldest daughter, the eighteen-year-old Princess Heshuo, Zhu Houcong was very kind. When he saw that Tu Mo wanted to be his concubine, Zhu Houcong waved his hand and rewarded Tu Mo.
The consort Gualja Nardu was also handed over to Tumo.
Tumo was also from the Guarjia family. In terms of blood relationship, he and the consort Nardu were still uncle-nephew.
Just not a kiss.
As for Shunzhi's concubines, a batch was seized in Beijing, and now another batch is seized in Tianjin, including many of Kangxi's concubines.
Zhu Houcong said that if the officers of each battalion liked him, he would submit a report and pick him out. If he didn't like him, he would send him away as a palace maid and get out.
However, Zhu Houcong made a special trip to see the concubines of Kangxi's harem.
After confirming that there was no so-called "Pornographic Girl" among them, I was greatly disappointed.
But there's bad news.
For example, Prince Yu Fuquan, the Empress Dowager, and Xiaozhuang Da Yuer were never captured by the Ming army, and their bodies were also not found, so it was very possible that they escaped.
After Zhu Houcong conducted a thorough investigation, he learned that a group of cavalrymen in the Jianzhou Battalion had accepted bribes and let them live, so that Fu Quan and Dayu'er could escape. This made Zhu Houcong furious, and the commander of the Jianzhou Battalion was demoted. After leaving Ningguta's general position, he was demoted from a general to a guerrilla. The whole family of the cavalryman who took bribes was executed, and the Jianzhou camp was once again demoted to a slave camp.
However, if Fuquan and Dayu'er escape, they can escape. For Zhu Houcong, the key mission of this trip has been completed.
Xiao Xuanzi was captured, this is the best result.
The rest is secondary and not worth worrying about.
"Send troops north to attack Baoding! After breaking the city, kill the entire clan of Miao Cheng, governor of Zhili Province of the Qing Dynasty!"
What Zhu Houcong hated even more about the Manchus of the Eight Banners were these traitor lackeys who had worked hard in the Ming Dynasty and pretended to be concerned about the country and the people after they surrendered to the Manchus.
Leave no one behind.
…
The disgraced Fuquan and Empress Dowager Bumubutai, led by more than a dozen followers, successfully reunited with the defeated Henan Green Camp troops.
"Slave Laita, Commander-in-Chief of Mongolia Zhengbai Banner of Manchuria, pays homage to Prince Yu and the Empress Dowager!"
"Hebei Commander-in-Chief Wan Zexian arrived late with the left camp and right rescue camp. I hope the Empress Dowager and Prince Yu will forgive me!"
When Fuquan and Bumubutai arrived at the Henan Green Camp, which had regrouped its troops after being attacked, the two generals came to pay their respects.
Laita set out from Tianjin to move reinforcements to Henan.
Wan Zexian, the commander-in-chief of Hebei Province, came to help with the Henan Green Battalion.
That's right, in the Qing Dynasty, the Hebei General Military was actually in charge of the Henan Green Camp.
There are only three towns in Henan Green Camp, namely Nanyang Town General Soldier, Hebei Town General Soldier, and Guide Town General Soldier.
As for the General Soldier of Hebei Town, the troops were actually stationed in Hanoi (today's Qinyang, Jiaozuo). If they were ready, they could actually mobilize 47,000 green battalions of soldiers.
However, the situation was too urgent and hasty, so Wan Zexian only brought more than 7,700 people from the left and right battalions of his headquarters to rush for rescue. On the way, he met with soldiers and horses from Dezhou and Hengshui, and made up a total of 8,500 people. The rest of them were unexpectedly killed as soon as they reached Tianjin. Now there are only two or three thousand people left, and they are hurriedly fleeing towards Henan.
Prince Yu Fuquan was about to scold the two generals harshly, but Empress Dowager Bumubutai stopped her at this time. At the same time, she opened her mouth and said: "Thank you for your hard work. The emperor issued an edict. The general soldiers of Yanzhou Town and the general soldiers of Caozhou Town each There is no excuse, only Wan Zongbing sent troops, he is actually a hero of the Qing Dynasty!"
Bumbutai knew very well that the generals of Yanzhou and Caozhou probably had some interests in dealing with the Kong family, so they would sit back and watch the success or failure. But now after Tianjin's defeat, the Kong family would definitely activate the old tradition, so the Shandong family There is no hope for the green soldiers on the side. Even if there are military ministers who are loyal to the Qing Dynasty, they will be wiped out soon.
As for Zhili, it can be delayed as long as it takes.
The Qing Dynasty had no soldiers to rescue Zhili.
Laita looked at the defeated soldiers around him and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He cupped his hands to Bumubutai and said, "The Empress Dowager, what should I do now? Your Majesty, how is your Majesty doing now?"
"Either he was captured, or he was killed."
Bumbutai sighed, then looked firmly at Laita and Wan Zexian and said: "Now that things have happened, Prince Yu Fuquan should inherit my Qing Dynasty, ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and crusade against the traitor Ming!"
"ah?"
Prince Yu Fuquan was completely confused, just like Yue Le in Xi'an.
But soon, his spirits perked up.
After all, with the Empress Dowager as her backer, everything is normal.
"The situation is urgent now. The top priority should be to go to Luoyang, control the three provinces of Henan, Anhui, and Hubei, and make preparations!"
Bumbutai's eyes were bright and he analyzed the current situation without hesitation: "As for the Jiangnan area, it depends on whether there is any situation. If there is no situation, it can be grasped quickly... As for Shanxi and Zhili , Shandong will soon fall into the hands of Ming thieves, and the southern provinces will definitely be divided up by the three feudal lords! Yue Le of Shaanxi and Gansu, let’s take a look at the situation."
Although she is getting older, Bumubutai still has a very vicious vision, and she can naturally figure out the current situation immediately.
She didn't dare to go to the land south of the Yangtze River.
After all, when the cities were massacred, apart from Guangdong and Sichuan, the one with the most and most brutal massacres was Jiangnan.
Troubled times are coming again. If you want the Qing Dynasty to continue to inherit the imperial throne, you must take some extraordinary actions!
But the first priority is to find a place to stay.
And soon, Bumbutai took a deep breath again and issued an order resolutely: "Return to Hanoi quickly. I sent a letter to the Mongolian kings a few days ago. If the Mongolian cavalry goes south, it will be the right time. We will The Imperial and Qing armies should march northward!"
"twitter!"
After Bumbutai's instructions, the remaining defeated generals could not help but speed up their march and quickly headed towards Henan.
…
In the Mongolian grassland, the breeze blows through the grassland, and there are herds of cattle and sheep.
In the Mongolian king's tent, the Mongolian nobles gathered together to discuss matters.
The important matter discussed was naturally the situation that the Empress Dowager and the Mongolian scouts had inquired about a few days ago.
The old king Abu Nai was sitting in the center of the king's tent, looking at the young Mongolian people below with a hesitant expression.
"This is the opportunity God has given us Chahar!"
A young man shouted excitedly: "The traitor Butai gave us the power to command the Eight Banners. Together with the Chahar warriors directly under us, we can gather at least 30,000 to 40,000 Mongolian cavalry! If we can gather more, 50,000 The cavalry is not a fantasy, Father!”
The young Mongolian people in the king's tent were very excited and wanted to start something now.
That's right, it's an act to restore the Great Yuan Dynasty.
What?
Rescue the Manchus?
What is Manchu Qing? Why do we Mongolian men want to save the Manchus? !
Over the years, the Mongolians on the grasslands have been bullied by the Manchus.
Historically, the Mongols could go south to rob when they were hungry, but now the Manchus have robbed everything, and they can't rob anything.
The Manchu and Qing court divided the Mongolian tribes into fixed grazing lands, and the Mongols were not allowed to move for water and grass, nor were the tribes to merge with each other, which seriously restricted the capabilities of the Mongols. Although the emperor of the Qing Dynasty would also serve as the Great Khan of Mongolia, and also the entire The so-called "Manchu and Mongolian family", but in fact only the Mongols in the Eight Banners were with the Qing Dynasty.
These Mongolians from the Eight Banners are all enjoying happiness in Beijing!
For the Mongolians on the grasslands, it can be said that life is now rumpled, and it is difficult to even have enough to eat!
Mongolia was paralyzed and weakened by the Qing Dynasty, and has been resentful for a long time!
"We Mongolia have been bullied for long enough. Now God has given us a chance. The little fool and the traitor have given us a chance. The Ming Dynasty has also returned inexplicably. The glory of recovering Genghis Khan is now!"
The Mongolian princes are now smiling, feeling that the days of the Yuan Dynasty are returning.
When the old king Abu Nai heard this, he finally made up his mind: "Gather the men from all Mongolian tribes and prepare to attack!"
"I am a bloodline of the Golden Family, and I must not live up to the glory of my ancestors! I will become the Great Khan of Mongolia, restore the great cause of the Yuan Dynasty, and become the new overlord of the Central Plains!"
Old Wang Abu Nai scolded Fang Qiu and immediately shouted: "Beijing is empty now. The main force of the Ming thieves has gone to capture the little faint king of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. This is our opportunity for the rise of the Meng Yuan! Go south and attack Beijing!"
"yes!"
"Our Dayuan is back again!"
For a moment, the Mongolian nobles were beaming with joy.
But they ignored one problem.
The Mongolia of today is no longer the Mongolia of those days.
The Mongols back then were ferocious and experienced in fighting. When they were hungry, they would cross the Great Wall, grab a handful and leave.
Today's Mongolia... If you don't have enough to eat, why are you robbing?
However, no one has thought about this issue yet.
Anyway, the entire Mongolian grassland has been mobilized. They plan to take advantage of the war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties to become fiercely independent and grab a wave of property.
…
In Kunming, the already elderly Wu Sangui looked at the information in his hand, feeling dazed for a while.
Daming...is resurrected?
Time flies, Wu Sangui seems to have seen his own experience when he was young, being born in Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, growing up in Tianqi, and passing the Chongzhen examination.
In a trance, I saw the scene of Shanhaiguan city gates wide open and the last emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Emperor Yongli, strangled to death in Myanmar.
He felt a little creepy, and a little bit didn't believe this fact.
Wu Sangui's subordinate Ma Bao was beaming with joy and immediately congratulated Wu Sangui: "Your Majesty, now that the prince has returned, we will no longer have any constraints!"
Yes.
Before Beijing was besieged, the dead Leerjin made a decision that went against his ancestors and released the hostages of San Francisco.
And the news that the Ming Dynasty was resurrected and entered the customs from outside the customs was brought back by Proton.
Ma Bao was an old soldier of Li Zicheng and a Duke of Huai by Emperor Yongli. Later, after he was surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he had been hanging out with Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui has also been absorbing "anti-thieves" over the years.
No matter you are born as Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong, as long as you are talented, you can come to Yunnan to make a career.
Wu Sangui also trained his troops day and night, just to one day break up with the Qing court.
Why?
Wu Sangui is not stupid either. He is familiar with history books and naturally knows the fate of those kings with different surnames in history.
Therefore, it is natural to actively prepare for war in case of unexpected events.
The more actively he prepared for war, the more the Qing court became wary of him.
If the Ming Dynasty had not been resurrected, the Qing army would have already reached Yunnan.
But at this moment, Wu Sangui was extremely surprised and confused: "The Ming army completely wiped out the Eight Banners soldiers... Is the Ming army so powerful?"
In the impression of Wu Sangui, as well as the generals and military advisors under Wu Sangui, the Eight Banners soldiers were still as invincible as when they entered the customs. Most of them were full of fear, so after hearing what Wu Yingxiong said, the Eight Banners army of one hundred thousand After being submerged, he immediately seemed particularly surprised and even a little panicked.
"Father!"
Wu Yingqi cupped his hands in front of Wu Sangui and said, "Now that eldest brother is back, we shouldn't take it into consideration. At this moment, we should quickly go north to take over Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, respond to the Ming Dynasty, and restore the clothes of our Han family!"
As soon as Wu Yingqi's words came out, the generals under Wu Sangui all agreed.
After all, they were originally rebels. Although they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, most of them were still dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty. They united under Wu Sangui instead of kneeling down to lick the Qing court. They also saved their breath and planned to fight again, so they heard Wu Yingqi's After the words, everyone felt recognition.
But at this moment, Wu Yingxiong said: "I think we should help the Qing Dynasty!"
As soon as these words came out, the venue instantly became quiet, and everyone looked at Wu Yingxiong.
"My father was a rebel general in the Ming Dynasty, and most of my uncles were also rebel generals in the Ming Dynasty. Now that the Ming Dynasty has returned, will he let us go?" Wu Yingxiong said, "According to what I saw in Beijing, if the two ministers were arrested back then, They are all sentenced to death, but among the two ministers, my father is the most important!"
"Even if you don't associate with the Ming thieves and stand on your own, my father personally killed Emperor Yongli, and the Han people's hearts have long been lost. Now that the Ming Dynasty has returned, and people's hearts are bright, you can't stand on your own at all, my father. "
"And now, the emperor has named my father the King of the Southwest, and handed over all the military and political power in Yunnan, Sichuan, and Guizhou to my father. This way, we don't need to attack at all, we only need to act according to the orders!"
Wu Yingxiong's words made Wu Sangui suddenly darken his face.
I know I am a second minister, but why are you so loud? !
And Yunnan, Sichuan, and Guizhou need to be canonized by his court?
Sichuan and Guizhou have been clearly infiltrated by Wu Sangui over the years, and the same is true in other places. For example, Zu Zeqing, the commander-in-chief of Guangxi Gaoze, responded immediately. There are Wu Sangui's accomplices in every province in the south.
In such a situation, does the Qing court need to confer a title? I just took off my pants and farted.
The generals, such as Gao Dejie, Wang Pingfan, Tan Hong, etc. all looked unhappy.
They surrendered together with Wu Sangui.
But now was not the time to scold Wu Yingxiong. Wu Sangui boasted a bit and said, "Yes, Ying Xiong has a point."
Wu Yingxiong didn't show any expression when he heard this, but continued to stand back and act like a transparent person.
He is not really giving advice to Wu Sangui, but he has been brainwashed by the Manchus in the past few years in Beijing, and he is now a true Manchu loyal minister.
He said such words just to persuade Wu Sangui to help the Qing Dynasty.
After all, Wu Yingxiong's wife is Princess Jianning.
However, what is completely different from "The Deer and the Cauldron" is that Princess Jianning is Huang Taiji's daughter and Kang Mazi's aunt, not Kang Mazi's sister.
Therefore, in terms of loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, Wu Yingxiong's loyalty was actually quite high.
After hearing Wu Yingxiong's words, Wu Sangui hesitated for a moment and immediately ordered: "I think the Kangxi child cannot hold on. In this case, I will send an order to all provinces that I, Wu Sangui, will regent the southwest in the name of the Regent of the Qing Dynasty." , I hope that people with lofty ideals in the Qing Dynasty can come to Kunming and discuss military and state affairs with me!"
"Arrange our people into Sichuan and Guizhou as soon as possible, and at the same time try to see if we can enter Shaanxi from Hanzhong, stand still and wait for the opportunity!"
Wu Sangui's plan is very simple.
That is to first seize the territory, eat as much as you can, and then use the name of the regent of the Qing Dynasty. After Kangxi dies, find someone named Aisin Gioro to support him as a puppet emperor. When the time is right, he will usurp the throne and make three resignations. The ceremony of the three concessions was modeled after Li Yuan, the great ancestor of the Tang Dynasty.
As for other more ambitious ideals... To be honest, Wu Sangui is a little confused now, and feels that the world is a bit fantasy now.
The original plan has been scrapped, and now he has decided to take a step forward and take a closer look.
When Wu Yingxiong heard this, he seemed to open his mouth and wanted to say something more, but in the end he could only close his mouth weakly.
This is all he can do for the Qing Dynasty.
The rest still depends on the fate of the Qing Dynasty.
For a moment, Wu Yingxiong was crying, and he could only silently pray that the Qing Dynasty could move towards a better tomorrow.
…
"Your Majesty, Zheng Chenggong, pays homage to His Majesty!"
In the city of Tianjin, Admiral Zheng Chenggong of the Dengzhou Navy was in high spirits and came to see Zhu Houcong. He was in good spirits and seemed to have a good time killing on the battlefield of Dagotai.
As we all know, the Zheng family navy is not good at land warfare, but in Dagotai, Zheng Chenggong had a hearty experience.
"Mingyan is here."
Zhu Houcong put down the book in his hand with a smile, then looked at Zheng Chenggong, and said, "Mingyan should know where this is, right?"
Ming Yan is Zheng Chenggong's cousin.
Zheng Chenggong immediately raised his hand and said, "I know this will happen decades later."
What he was talking about was naturally decades after the Chongzhen Dynasty.
Zheng Chenggong's expression was very calm.
After all, he had been there a hundred years ago, and now it would be no big deal if he came back decades later.
Seeing Zheng Chenggong like this, Zhu Houcong smiled and nodded: "The King of Yanping in Taiwan now is your son Zheng Jing... Ming Yan, are you confident that you can go and convince your son to come to Tianjin for an audience?"
Hearing Zhu Houcong's words, Zheng Chenggong was in a daze again.
After all, in Zheng Chenggong's impression, Zheng Jing was only three years old...
However, after seeing too many strange and weird things, Zheng Chenggong immediately accepted the order and said: "Your Majesty, I will do it now. I will definitely persuade the dog to come to see your Majesty!"
Having said that, Zheng Chenggong didn't waste a moment and immediately walked towards the outside of the palace. He walked vigorously and looked very majestic.
"Mingyan is quite impatient."
Zhu Houcong smiled, and then asked Huang Jin, who was serving beside him: "How is little Xuanzi doing now?"
Huang Jin immediately beamed with joy and reported the good news to Zhu Houcong: "Your Majesty, Xiao Xuanzi's purification is very successful. I have gone to see it. In these years, I have never seen such a successful example!"
When Zhu Houcong heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and felt good: "Okay, when little Xuanzi recovers, let him come and serve me. After all, my father-in-law is named Kangxi!"
After that, Zhu Houcong casually glanced at the pastries on the table, and then said: "Give this pastry to Xiao Xuanzi, recover as soon as possible, and go to work early. There are still many respectful barrels in the palace that have not been cleaned."
"promise."
After hearing Zhu Houcong's words, two young eunuchs immediately walked towards a simple house in Tianjin with the pastries.
This room is actually not that simple, it is just a normal house, but compared to the room that Xiao Xuanzi lived in before, it is still extremely simple.
Xiao Xuanzi was lying on the bed, his eyes dull, and he only felt a heartbreaking pain from the wound.
On both sides, there were guards in Jinyi standing with swords, and Xiao Guizi was watching from the side. Xiao Xuanzi was now paralyzed.
The pain was not that painful. Thanks to the advanced anesthesia technology, Xiao Xuanzi used Ma Fei Powder to cleanse his body. He was cleansed without feeling anything. Only after the operation was over, did he feel any pain? Some excruciating pain.
During that initial period, Xiao Xuanzi wanted to commit suicide.
But soon, Xiao Xuanzi's eyes hardened.
When Heaven is about to entrust this person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind, overwork his bones and muscles, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and confuse his actions. Therefore, tempting his heart and forbearance has benefited him beyond what he could do!
As long as you live, there will always be a way!
He wanted to prove to Zhu Ming's emperor that not killing him on the spot was the biggest mistake he had ever made in his life!
Xiao Xuanzi's eyes were full of hatred.
But at this moment, a eunuch suddenly arrived, holding a tray, and opened his mouth to Xiao Xuanzi: "Your Majesty thinks that you have done great work, and I will give you cakes to enjoy. After eating, remember to write the book in the tone of the puppet emperor of Qing Dynasty." A letter telling all prefectures and counties not to resist!"
"After you get better, His Majesty will order you to follow the army southward and call the door at all times!"

Today I can finally go to bed early and adjust my schedule. These days, I sleep in the middle of the night and wake up in the afternoon. I feel like I haven’t done anything all day long.
