Beijing, Forbidden City, South Study Room.
Today, the Nan Study Room continues to have the same configuration as the Qing Dynasty Suppression General, but it has been upgraded compared to the past few days.
A huge map of the eight provinces of "Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hunan, Chu, and Fujian" was spread on the ground - so that the ministers could kneel down and hold a military meeting with Kang Mazi. How convenient? How handsome?
The people kneeling around this map are also different from the previous few days. Except for the five cabinet bachelors Jin Batai, Suo'etu, Duikana, Li Fei, and Wei Yijie who are in Beijing, the two Hanlin bachelors Xiong Ci Lu, Chen Tingjing, three Manchurian military training princes Yue Le, Ezha, and Leerjin (they were the leaders of the three towns of the Eight Banners), as well as three military training ministers who were affiliated with the Eight Banners Han Army, including Wang Fuchen, Sun Sike, and Shi Huashan. There are also three representatives of the four vassals, Wu Yingxiong, Shang Zhixin, and Kong Sizhen.
Zhang Yong and Zhao Liangdong, who were previously appointed as military training ministers together with Wang Fuchen, have now been transferred.
Among them, Zhang Yong was severely lame (his thigh was seriously injured) and could not bear the drudgery of military training, so he was given an easy job as an internal minister! He was the deputy to the minister of bodyguards, and his main job was to lie down at home, because there were six ministers of bodyguards and six ministers of internal affairs in the Qing Dynasty, and no one knew about him.
Zhao Liangdong was not "brought home" by Kangxi to lie down. Instead, he was transferred to be the commander-in-chief of Tianjin - he had 2,000 Tianjin soldiers to serve as his "commander", but none of these Tianjin soldiers belonged to Zhao Liangdong. The old subordinates were from the original Ming Dynasty Tianjin Town and Tianjin Navy Town, and were considered to be in the same group as Yang Qilong. The Datong soldiers brought by Zhao Liangdong were dispersed and remained in the New Army of the Three Towns, so he, as the general soldier, could not function at all in suppressing Tianjin.
Those who were transferred by Kangxi to replace Zhang Yong and Zhao Liangdong were two "high-level officials of the Eight Banners Han Army". One was Sun Degong's second son Sun Sike, and the other was Shi Tingzhu's third son and Duduo's son-in-law Shi Huashan. . Not only were these two people unquestionably loyal to the Qing Dynasty, but they were also infinitely superior to Wang Fuchen when it came to being slaves! It was inappropriate to be placed under Wang Fuchen, so Kangxi gave Sun Sike, Shi Huashan and Wang Fuchen the same position of "Presidential Training Minister".
Therefore, the current "Xiaozhan New Army" has a situation of "three presidents". Among them, Wang Fuchen is in charge of the Chinese Army and is also called the "President of the Chinese Army". Sun Sike and Shi Huashan are in charge of the left and right armies, so they are called " "President of the Left" and "President of the Right" - there seems to be a lot of presidents!
"Your Majesty, my father is now ill and unable to govern. Most of the power in Pingxi Fan and Yunnan is controlled by my two brothers Ying Qi and Guogui. Although the relationship between these two people was very good in the past, their respective They all have their own group of people, which can be said to be a self-contained system. Even though the two of them are deeply affectionate as brothers, there must be conflicts among the people below. After all, there is only so much oil and water in Yunnan. If my second brother's people eat more, the three of us will My brother will have to eat less.
Since the servant's third brother Guogui is an adopted son, it should be impossible for him to get involved in the throne, but that doesn't mean that even if he doesn't want to, the people under him will definitely think about it.
If the emperor follows the example of the Guangxi general and rewards him with a Yunnan general, he will still have a great chance of being won over by the imperial court! If he sided with the court, he would strike back at the critical moment. Then the imperial court has a great probability of winning without a fight and pacifying Yunnan and Guizhou! "
The person who was proposing to Kangxi "win without fighting and pacify Yunnan and Guizhou" was of course Wu Sangui's filial son, Wu Yingqi and Wu Guogui's good eldest brother Wu Yingxiong!
I wonder if Wu Yingqi and Wu Guogui would have the urge to strangle Wu Yingxiong to death after hearing his words?
Kangxi asked: "Prince-in-law Heshuo, if you ask Wu Guogui to be the general of Yunnan, then what do you think? According to the precedent of Dingfan, there will be no king of Dingnan if there is a general of Guangxi."
"Your Majesty, I will be content to be Heshuo's consort." Wu Yingxiong said with a smile, "I have been living in Beijing for these years. I can't care about anything and don't want to care about Yunnan's affairs. As long as my third brother is willing to be loyal to you. Qing, I will give Pingxi Fan to him! With such great benefits, the relationship between him and my second brother is not good."
Kangxi was a little touched at this time, "Heshuo forehead, I have indeed seen you right, you are my loyal minister. But do you have a way to contact Wu Guogui now? Wu Yingqi and Wu Guogui have blocked the passage in and out of Yunnan."
"Your Majesty," Wang Fuchen immediately interjected, "let the servant's sons Wang Jizhen and Wang Zhongxiao think of something about this matter. They have been with the servant in Yunnan for many years and are very familiar with the terrain in Qujing. Especially the servant's second son Wang Zhongxiao is still the stick commander and the imperial bodyguard, and he should have gone deep into dangerous places for the imperial court."
Kangxi was very pleased when he heard that Wu Yingxiong was a loyal minister, and Wang Fuchen and his family were also loyal ministers. There were so many loyal ministers in the Qing Dynasty, did Wu Yingqi still want to fight against Tianwei? It’s simply overestimating one’s capabilities!
Of course, even if Wu Guogui sells out Wu Yingqi and becomes the general of Yunnan, he will still be eliminated in the future!
After all, replacing King Pingxi with General Yunnan will not stop those under Pingxi from having children! As long as those people keep reproducing, in ten or twenty years, the army of Pingxi Fan will not be one hundred thousand, but two or three hundred thousand!
If you add the population of Ping, Ding, and Jing vassals, plus the large number of green soldiers under the self-respecting Han generals in Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other places, the world will still be in chaos in the future!
Thinking of this, Kangxi turned to look at Yue Le, Ezha, Leerjin, the bachelors and the Hanlin bachelors, "What do you think?"
"Your Majesty," Yue Le said, "I think He Shuo's method is feasible, but the court should still have two or three plans! Should the five camps of Chengdu, Chongqing, Jingzhou, Changsha and Guilin be established? Should the new army from the six towns of the imperial court press forward?
In addition, Ping and Ding vassals, as well as Sichuan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hunan, Hubei, and even Sichuan's Green Camp, still need to be sorted out.
If the imperial court could give Wu Yingqi, Wu Guogui and Ping Xifan an overwhelming power, it would be more likely to promote internal change! "
He only said half of what he said, and the other half could not be said in front of Wu Yingxiong, Shang Zhixin, Kong Sizhen, or even Wang Fuchen, that is: once Yunnan changes internally and the two Wus fight, it will be an opportunity to eliminate them all in one fell swoop - As long as Pingxi Fan is wiped out, Ping, Ding, and Jing Fans will be easy to handle. Even if they were demobilized and turned into green camp or even ordinary people, they would not dare to resist.
And once the four vassals of Pingxi, Ping, Ding, and Jing are finished, the green camp soldiers will be easy to deal with - the green camp soldiers outside the four vassal system cannot enclose the land. If they cannot enclose the land, they will not be able to raise more children. , and there is no way to form an independent logistics system. You can just serve as a soldier and get paid, but you can't change the sky at all.
Kangxi nodded and said to Wang Fuchen: "Wang Fuchen, let your son go and contact Wu Guogui. He did a good job in Suzhou this time. Together with Shi Lang, he defeated Obai and recovered most of Suzhou. His contribution is indispensable, I must reward him! First, give him a general rank, and when Yunnan and Guizhou are pacified, let him be the chief soldier of Qujing Yunnan's aid and suppression campaign in Youzhen!"
"This slave thanks the emperor for the kindness of the dog!"
Kangxi smiled again and said to Wang Fuchen, Kong Sizhen, and Shang Zhixin: "Wang Fuchen, Dingnangege, and An Dagong, I will leave the journey of Guangdong and Guangxi to you three. Wang Fuchen, I order you to be the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the president and minister of Guilin Daying." ! Lead the Green Camp New Army Zhongjunzhen southward and stationed in Guangdong and Guangxi, and together with the Pingfan and Guangxi generals will preside over the military affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi to revolt!"
"This slave accepts the decree!" Wang Fuchen bowed with great salute, and then patted his chest and assured Kangxi, "Your Majesty, as long as your slaves are in Guangdong and Guangxi, no one named Wu can succeed in the direction of Guangdong and Guangxi!"
"Okay! As long as Guangdong and Guangxi can be stabilized, Wu Yingqi will not be able to avoid worries. No matter how hard he fights, he will never get out of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan!"
Kangxi paused and then said: "Dingnan Princess."
"I'm here."
Kangxi asked: "The Empress Dowager told me that you want your son Sun Jiqing to be the general of Guangxi?"
"Your Majesty, the general of Guangxi should be appointed by the leader of Dingfan," Kong Sizhen explained, "and the person most qualified to inherit Dingfan is my son Ji Qing. He is the grandson of the late king and is more qualified to become the lord than I. Previously, because of his young age, my concubine’s husband, Sun Yanling, was appointed as the general. Now that Ji Qing has grown up, taking over as general is highly anticipated by everyone in Dingfan.”
"That makes sense," Kangxi asked, "but what about Sun Yanling?"
"Your Majesty," the academic scholar Jin Batai next to him had obviously accepted Kong Sizhen's favor. Hearing Kangxi's question, he immediately answered for Kong Sizhen, "Your Majesty, my servant suggested that Sun Yanling be transferred north to serve as the President's Minister of Military Training to take over Wang Fuchen's position. "
Well, another president!
However, Kong Sizhen made clear arrangements for Sun Yanling.
Kangxi nodded, "That's okay! If the imperial court cannot defeat Yunnan and Guizhou for a while, they may have to train their troops again, and Sun Yanling can show off his talents."
Of course, he was just talking. If Sun Yanling really handed over the army and returned to Beijing, he would only be a wealthy and idle man.
After arranging Sun Yanling, Kangxi turned to Shang Zhixin and said: "My lord, your Ama is still very old. It is difficult to deal with such a mess of things in Guangdong, and Guangdong is guarding the salary of the Guilin camp, so there must be no mistakes. Therefore, I now order you to go south with Wang Fuchen, take over the administration of Pingnan, work with the governor of Guangdong to raise salaries for Guilin Camp, and serve as the Vice President of Guilin Camp. After you take over the administration of Pingnan, I will send someone to escort you Amma, go north to retire!”
The wait is finally over!
Shang Zhixin was so excited that he almost cried!
Although his Ama Shang Kexi has done many evil things, God has no eyesight. This old guy's health is not generally good, but particularly good. He is so old, but he can still deal with so many little wives, and he still gives Shang Zhixin in batches every year. Makes younger siblings and never gets sick.
Looking at it like this, there is no guarantee of a long life. How old will Shang Zhixin be then? Even if King Pingnan fucked him, he couldn't do it anymore.
Shang Zhixin kowtowed heavily: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely protect Guangzhou for Your Majesty and continuously raise and deliver food and wages for the Guilin camp!"
Seeing Shang Zhixin's expression of tears of gratitude, Kangxi was really relieved - that was the father-in-law left to him by his Ama. Logically speaking, Kangxi would have to call Shang Zhixin "Uncle Shang"!
There are "Uncle Shang", "Aunt Zhen" and a loyal minister like Wang Fuchen in Guangdong and Guangxi, so it should be foolproof.
Kangxi then turned his attention to Huguang on the map, "Ezha!"
"The slave is here!"
Another slave responded loudly.
"I order you to be the garrison general in Jingzhou and other places and the president of the Jingzhou camp. You will lead a new eight-banner army in a town to station in Jingzhou and take charge of Huguang's military affairs!"
"This slave accepts the order!"
"Shi Huashan!" Kangxi called another person's name.
"The slave is here!"
This Shi Huashan was Eza's uncle. He had lost his position as minister because he offended Ao Bai. He was restored after Ao Bai was overthrown. Now he and Wang Fuchen have become "presidential" ministers. This time it is obviously reused again!
"I order you to be the President and Minister of Changsha Daying. You will lead a new green camp army in Changsha to be stationed in Changsha. You will be in charge of Hunan's military affairs and will be controlled by Ezha."
"This slave accepts the imperial edict!" Shi Huashan quickly bowed and respectfully received the imperial edict.
With the prince's nephew commanding his uncle-in-law, and Cai Yurong, the governor of Huguang, there shouldn't be much of a problem in Huguang.
Kangxi pointed to Sichuan on the map and said to Yue Le: "Uncle! I want you, Leerjin and Sun Sike to send Wu Yingxiong away from Sichuan to Yunnan. What do you think?"
What he said about "walking from Sichuan to Yunnan" was actually to take advantage of Wu Sangui's illness to compete with Wu Yingqi for control of Sichuan!
The province of Sichuan has always been greatly influenced by Wu Sangui. It can be said that it is the territory that the imperial court and Wu Sangui have been fighting for, and it is also a key territory!
Once Sichuan is firmly controlled by the imperial court, Wu Sangui (Wu Yingqi) will be firmly suppressed in Yunnan and Guizhou, and it will be difficult to fight out. If Guangdong and Guangxi in the southeast of Yunnan are again firmly controlled by the warlords of the imperial court, then Wu Sangui (Wu Yingqi) will be surrounded by enemies from both sides. It will be difficult to hold on, let alone fight out!
"Your Majesty!" Yue Le said, "This servant also thinks that we should take advantage of this opportunity to capture Sichuan first. As long as the imperial army can firmly control Sichuan, even if Pingxi Fan is suppressed, the imperial court will also be able to control Sichuan. Undefeated.”
Kangxi nodded and said with a smile: "So I will send new troops from three towns to Sichuan and one town to garrison in Chongqing, one town to control Chengdu, and one town to send Heshuo's concubine into Yunnan!" He then added, "Le'erjin, I appoint you as the President and Minister of Daying, Chongqing! Sun Sike, I appoint you as the President and Minister of Daying, Chengdu! Both of you are under the control of Prince An. Uncle, I designate you as the General of Pingxi, leading together with Leerjin and Sun Sike The new army from the three towns will escort the Prince of Pingxi into Yunnan!"
"This servant is waiting to receive the imperial edict."
Kangxi finally said: "If Wu Yingqi dares to raise an army to fight against the heavenly soldiers, don't rush forward. You must first set up a defensive position and build a dragnet in Sichuan, Huguang, and Guangdong to completely trap Wu Yingqi, and then slowly kill him." !”
When Emperor Kangxi began to send out his new army and build a "Yingqi Surrounding Network", Wuhua Mountain in Kunming, Yunnan was welcoming a group of special guests!
The reason why they are said to be special guests is mainly because they are dressed in a special way and their status is also a bit special.
Let’s talk about dressing up first.
These people were all dressed in round yellow robes. The leader wore a red hood, and the others were wrapped in red scarves. In addition, there are no braids behind them, and I don’t know if they have them cut off or in a bun? In short, they were covered with hoods and scarves.
Let’s talk about identity.
This group of people was actually sent by Wu Sangui to serve as bodyguards and followers for Wang Yongkang, but now they have returned to Yunnan in the name of "Angels of the Ming Dynasty"!
Moreover, the leader, Wu Yuanyi, also claimed to have brought the decree of the Ming Dynasty to supervise the country and appoint the king, and wanted to make Wu Sangui the "Western King of the President of the Revival of the Ming Dynasty".
In the heavily guarded Yin'an Hall, Wu Sangui, who was said to have suffered a stroke, was sitting on the throne in high spirits, frowning as he looked at Wu Yuanyi and others who were led in by Wu Shijue.
Wu Yuanyi was also holding a yellow cloth scroll in his hand, and the two "red turbans" who followed him were each holding a tray. The trays contained robes, hoods, a gold seal and a book titled "The Land Acquisition System of the Celestial Dynasty" book of.
This Wu Yuanyi was also very courageous. When he saw Wu Sangui, he did not kneel down to salute. Instead, he shouted: "The Ming Dynasty General Corps practiced Liaodong Ningyuan's left, center right, front and rear military affairs, and was awarded the title of admiral. Ping Xibo Wu Sangui accepts the order!"
"Accept the order?" Wu Sangui frowned, "Accept what order? Whose order is this?"
Wu Yuanyi said loudly: "Uncle Ping Xi, this is the decree of His Highness Prince Ding, the Supervisor of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Be bold!"
Several Wu Sangui's guards at Yin'an Palace shouted together.
Wu Sangui waved his hand, and the guards fell silent.
"Prince Ding?" Wu Sangui looked at Wu Yuanyi with bright eyes and asked, "Is he the third prince Zhu? Wu Yuanyi, is your third prince Zhu real or fake?"
"Of course it's true!" Wu Yuanyi replied, "But King Ding is not the 'third prince'. His Highness Prince Ding is the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty!" He raised the yellow scroll in his hand, "Uncle Ping Xi, this is the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty!" His Royal Highness King Guoding has decreed that he will make you the 'King of the West, President of the Restoration of the Ming Dynasty'. Sir, please hurry up and accept the decree! As long as you accept this decree, you will have the righteousness to defeat the Tartars and restore the Ming Dynasty. Got a reputation!"
After hearing what Wu Yuanyi said, Wu Sangui, who was pretending to be ill, couldn't help but frown. Could it be that the big commotion in Suzhou was caused by the "True Third Prince of Zhu"? A royal court was also established. Is this the Ming Dynasty really going to come back and renew the "Later Ming Dynasty"?
At this time Wu Yuanyi said again: "In addition, His Royal Highness King Ding of the Supervisory State will also grant you a copy of the "Celestial Land Acre System". This is the land system of the new Ming Dynasty in the future and is also the key to resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. As long as you follow it, you can make people who are frightened With the support of the people all over the world who are oppressed by the Tartars, it will be easy to restore the Ming Dynasty and rejuvenate China!"
"It's just a land system, how can it be of such great use?" Wu Sangui shook his head, "Let's take a look first!"
