After Nalalan'er said, "The emperor will do it to those who have strong soldiers and horses." Fuquan turned to look at Suo'etu again.
Obviously, this Nalalan'er knew Fuquan's thoughts very well. She was not "interfering in politics" now, but speaking for Fuquan. After all, there are some words that Fuquan, the benevolent king, cannot easily say.
"Your Majesty," Suo'etu said, "this man with strong soldiers and horses is probably the emperor!"
"Why is he the emperor?" Fuquan was a little confused. "I have 30,000 elite Mongolian soldiers under my command, as well as 10,000 soldiers of the Beijing Camp Banner Army, 10,000 soldiers of the Fifth Patrol Battalion, 10,000 soldiers of the Zhili Training Army, and 10,000 Tianjin Navy , Shandong’s 20,000-strong army training is a full 90,000 elite troops, and this does not include the soldiers and horses of Chang Ning and Ba Hai!”
Of course Fuquan is powerful! There were six parts of the army directly loyal to him.
Among them, the largest number of 30,000 Mongolian cavalry are standing troops selected from the various banners of Inner Mongolia. They are all relatively capable of fighting and are stationed on the territory of Santing outside the mouth.
The Beijing Camp Banner Army was composed of the able-bodied men from the Eight Banners disciples and slaves who stayed in Beijing. The old ones were some of the elite Shanpu Camp brought back by Li Sixing from Mount Wutai, and were led by Fu Quan's confidant Guanyin Bao.
The fifth patrol battalion is the capital garrison. Although it is a green battalion, Fuquan gave them an extra salary in order to win over them, allowing them to get about the same amount as the banner army. The fifth battalion army was divided into two parts. One part was commanded by Wang Jinbao, the commander of the third battalion, and was regarded as a field army. There is also a part under the command of Jiumen Admiral Li Sixing, which is the garrison of Beijing City.
The Zhili Army Training was an army raised by Yang Qilong. Now Yang Qilong is doing something extraordinary - he has become an undercover relative, and his sister Lan'er (Yang Xiaomi) is Fuquan's favorite Fujin! After he returned to Beijing from Huai'an by transporting money, grain and cloth, he was promoted to Minister of Tuanlian of Zhili and Minister of Commerce of Beiyang! Not only does he control the 10,000-strong Zhili Tuanlian, but he can also control the Tianjin Navy.
The Zhili regiment training under his banner sounds quite rustic, but in fact this army is a "Western-style army" trained with the help of "foreign slaves" led by Rodoni, and adopts Western-style square formation tactics. Equipped with a large number of red-coated cannons, heavy matchlocks and armored pikemen, as well as a small number of shock cavalry for coordination.
The Tianjin Navy was formed by the merger of the Yangtze River Navy brought by Shi Lang from the Yangtze River and the Navy of the Tianjin Customs Road brought by Yang Qilong. Because it was controlled by the Beiyang Minister of Commerce, it was also called the Beiyang Navy!
Of course, in the upcoming "Battle of Brothers, Friends and Brothers" of the Qing Dynasty, the Beiyang Navy seems to be of little use.
Zhang Yong and Zhao Liangdong, the two regiment training envoys who were sealed in Shandong, each had 10,000 training troops, making a total of 20,000 Shandong regiment training.
The old foundation for the training of the 20,000 troops was the new army trained by Zhang Yong and Zhao Liangdong in Fengtai, Beijing. They were the main force in the battle against Burni. Later, Fuquan was sent to defend Shandong, and then expanded to 20,000 in Shandong itself.
However, these 20,000 regiments are the main force to resist the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition and cannot be easily deployed unless Fu Quanneng temporarily colludes with the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty," Suo'etu said to Fuquan with great certainty, "the Xiba Battalion in the Emperor's hands has been fighting hard for three years in Sichuan, Shaanxi and the Wu family's troops. Although they did not win, they are battle-hardened after all. A powerful force. And most of your army, Your Majesty, has never been on the battlefield and cannot compare with the elites of the Xiba Battalion. Besides, the emperor has recognized the thief as his father and was given the surname Wu! Wu Sangui has promised to send troops to help the emperor when he goes to war with you! "
"Oh, isn't this a scene where Yuan Shao's two sons are fighting after Yuan Shao's death, and Yuan Tan joins forces with Cao Cao to fight Yuan Shang?" Nala interrupted again at this time, "Your Majesty, why don't you also collude with foreign enemies?"
Fuquan glared at Na Lashi, "What are you talking about, you bitch? How could I do such a traitorous thing for glory? Besides, our Yuan Shao hasn't died yet! So my Youzhou Yuan Xi must support Mine! Even if Yuan Tan colludes with Cao Cao, I can still defeat him!"
Nala was scolded, but he looked indifferent. He puffed up his chest and shook slightly. He had a clear conscience when he saw it!
Fuquan did not continue to blame, but said to Suo'etu: "Suo'etu, you have worked hard, go back and rest. Tomorrow, I will take you to Xiyuan to meet the emperor."
Although Suo'etu was one of the few people in Beijing who knew that Shunzhi was still alive, he also knew that he was not part of Fuquan's inner circle - his niece was the Emperor and Empress of Kangxi!
In comparison, Mingzhu was lucky. She accepted the little fairy Na Lalan'er as her niece and became one of Fuquan's own!
It is estimated that Fuquan had to discuss any confidential matters with the Yang family's relatives, and it was not his turn to ask for the emoluments. Thinking of this, Suo'etu could only bow to Fuquan and leave.
Seeing Suo'etu leaving, Fu Quan smiled and asked Na Lalan'er, "Xiaomi, do you still have contact with your sister Xiaohuan?"
Na Lalan'er blinked and said with a smile: "What? Your Majesty has figured it out and is he really going to collude with the traitor Wang Datou?"
Fuquan laughed and said, "Wang Datou will not see Wu Sangui and Kangxi joining forces and going to destroy the Ming Dynasty together, right?"
"Kangxi will join forces with Wu Sangui to destroy the Ming Dynasty?" Na Lalan'er was stunned, "Now the world is divided into three parts!"
"Three points is three points, but who is Cao Lai and who is Liu?" Fuquan sighed, "Xiao Mi, do you know what made Cao Wei so powerful in the past?"
"I know," Nalalan'er said, "I have also read "Three Kingdoms", "Heroes", and "Book of the Later Han", so I know that Cao Wei owned nine of the thirteen states of the Eastern Han Dynasty, plus Nanyang County and part of Jingzhou. Nanjun, as well as part of Yangzhou, has far more people, money and food than the two countries of Shu Han and Soochow combined."
Fuquan nodded appreciatively. He had books such as "Three Kingdoms", "Heroes" and "Book of the Later Han" at home, but he didn't like to read them very much. Kangxi could recite them by heart.
"That's right," Fuquan said, "but the population, money and food that Wu Sangui now has are far inferior to those of the Ming Dynasty. He only had about 200,000 strong soldiers, which he managed to save with great difficulty. It would be difficult to continue the wave. On the other hand, although the Ming Dynasty was in chaos, it had many people, money, and food, no less than Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period!
Moreover, after Wang Datou captured Huaixi, he had the Huaixi Red Turban Army. These Huaixi people have always been able to fight! Therefore, as long as Wu Sangui has a chance, he will unite with us to attack the Ming Dynasty. He must at least find a way to seize the few state capitals occupied by Li Zicheng. "
"Understood!" Na Lalan'er nodded and smiled, "What the prince means is that the Ming Kingdom is actually the real Cao Wei. But now the Ming Kingdom only has Emperor Xian, and there is no Duke Cao! Therefore, the king not only needs to contact Wang Datou, we also need to contact Geng Jingzhong!"
"Wrong!" Fuquan shook his head and said, "My daughter Zhuge, you guessed wrong this time that Wang Datou and I have an old relationship and are brothers-in-law, so I contacted him. And Geng Jingzhong now relies heavily on Shang Zhixin and Shang Shu The Ying brothers and sisters, and Taishang Monk Zhi Da Xiao Ke are playmates!"
"Oh" Na Lalan'er nodded lightly, then stood up and said to Fuquan, "Your Majesty, I will go back to my parents' house today and discuss with my brother how to get Wang Datou to cheer you up!"
Fuquan smiled and said: "Xiao Mi, if I become the emperor, you will at least be an imperial concubine. If there is a shortage of queens, you will be the queen. And our son Changfeng will definitely be the crown prince!"
Fuquan had several wives and concubines before Nalan'er, but none of them could give birth to sons, and they only gave him a daughter. And Na Lalan'er is amazing. She has only been here for three years and has already given birth to a daughter and a son for Fu Quan, including Fu Quan's eldest son Aixinjueluo Changfeng.
Na Lalan'er quickly gave Fu Quan a blessing gift happily: "I thank you so much, Your Majesty."
After Na Lalan'er left the Regent's Palace, she went straight to Yang Qilong's residence in the inner city of Beijing - that house was just outside Dong'an Gate. It was the original Kong Sizhen's house. It was the vassal residence, and now it was awarded to Yang Qilong!
However, Yang Qilong rarely lives in Beijing now. The office of his Beiyang Trade Minister is in Dagu Commercial Port in Tianjin, so he built a dock near Dagu Port and a mansion in Tianjin City, where he lives most of the time. In the Wubao of Dagukou and the mansion in Tianjin.
But during this period, the Qing Dynasty was on the verge of civil war. Yang Qilong, the undercover agent, had a special relationship with Fuquan and the great monk Shunzhi, so he could not stay out of the matter. Therefore, after he returned from Huai'an, he has been living outside Dong'an Gate. In the mansion. He also frequently interacted with Li Sixing, Wang Jinbao, Guanyin Bao and others.
When Nalalan'er arrived at the Yang Mansion, Li Sixing, who was about to become the Yang family's son-in-law, was visiting here. Li Sixing's mood seemed a little low, but when he saw Na Lalan'er, he still managed to squeeze out a smile, and stood up and saluted with a thousand salutes: "Greetings to Xi Fujin."
Na Lalan'er smiled and returned the Han gift: "Brother Li came just in time, Xiao Mi wants to ask for advice on something."
"Don't dare ask for advice. Just ask Fujin if you want to know anything."
Yang Qilong also smiled and pointed at Li Sixing and said: "We are all our own people, don't be so arrogant, just ask if you have any questions. When Xiaoyao comes over next month, he will be your brother-in-law."
"Then let me ask," Na Lalan'er nodded and asked with a smile, "Brother-in-law, if the regent fights with the emperor, what are the chances of winning?"
Li Sixing shook his head, "The regent can't win. That's why I'm here!"
Na Lalan'er nodded lightly: "This is what Suo'etu told Fuquan today. He also said that the emperor has already asked Wu Sangui for troops!"
"Wu Sangui agreed?" Li Sixing became even more nervous.
Although he did not have much actual combat experience, he had seriously studied military affairs and had also practiced military training. He was considered an expert. Of course he knew that Wu Sangui was difficult to deal with.
"I agreed, but what if the regent asks Wang Shikai for help?" Lalan'er frowned and asked, "Can our chances of winning be greater?"
"What?" Yang Qilong was surprised, "Your Majesty is planning to ask for help from the Ming Kingdom?"
Li Sixing was also shocked and said in a low voice: "Brothers are jealous of the wall and turn to outsiders for help. The Qing Dynasty is going to end!"
As he spoke, he gave Yang Qilong a meaningful look.
Yang Qilong shook his head.
Na Lalan'er was a little nervous at this time, "Brother, what do you mean by shaking your head? Is there no way to invite Wang Shikai to help? The prince said that once Kangxi wins, Wu Zhou and the Qing Dynasty will form an alliance to fight against the Ming Dynasty. , Wang Shikai doesn’t understand this, right?”
Li Sixing was even more surprised after hearing this. He looked back at Yang Qilong, who said: "Xiao Mi, go back and tell the prince that I will immediately send someone to the southeast to contact Wang Shikai! But now the south is not stable internally. I don't know what will happen next year. Can we decide the winner before spring?"
It is already the midwinter season of the thirteenth year of Kangxi.
On a very cold day, heavy snow blocked roads at every entrance of Yanshan and Taihang Mountains. A small number of troops could still move, but an army of tens of thousands could not. Therefore, no matter how impatient Kangxi and Fuquan were, they could only wait until the next spring before mobilizing troops.
Before that, if the internal struggle in the Ming Dynasty could not determine the winner, then Fuquan would be in trouble.
Na Lalaner took a breath and whispered: "Fuquan also said that the old monk will contact Shang Zhixin. No matter who wins in the south, the prince will have someone to help him!"
Hearing this, the worry on Li Sixing's face became even heavier, while Yang Qilong remained calm and said with a smile, "That's good. Our Yang family is now in the same boat as the regent."
Na Lalan'er smiled and said: "By the way. The regent told me today that once he becomes the emperor, Feng'er will be the crown prince!"
"Amma, today Suo'etu said that I'm afraid that my army can't defeat Lao San's soldiers, and Lao San also has Wu Sangui to help him. Look at this."
Xiyuan, Yingtai, the old monk is walking by the lake, looking at the frozen water, not knowing what he is thinking in his heart? Behind him was Fuquan.
After Fuquan sent Nalalan'er to find Yang Qilong, he immediately came to Yingtai to find his father.
Shunzhi was a "Bodhisattva" after all. He was not anxious at all. He just smiled and said: "The third child is still somewhat capable, but he is too narrow-minded! So don't worry about the soldiers under him, they are all ours." Manchuria's military force, as long as you intend to recruit them, they will not be your enemy! As for Wu Sangui's soldiers, if Geng Jingzhong and Yue Le can succeed in the southeast, it will not be a problem."
Geng Jingzhong listened to Shang Zhixin, and Shang Zhixin had a very close relationship with Shunzhi! As for Yue Le, he is also Shunzhi's good brother!
"Amma, what if Wang Shikai succeeds?" Fuquan did not immediately tell his father that he had asked Yang Xiaomi to take care of Yang Qilong's contact with Li Zhongshan. Instead, he inquired about connections with Shunzhi.
"I'm not afraid either." Shunzhi said, "If he wins, won't Wang Fuchen win? Wang Fuchen and Kong Sizhen can still talk to each other as fathers!" He looked back at Fuquan and smiled, "Second brother, you Don’t worry too much. The third child is capable, but he’s really unlucky, so he definitely can’t compete with you!”
After hearing what he said, Fuquan finally felt relieved, exhaled, and asked Shunzhi: "Amma, will the meeting of the king and ministers still be held as planned?"
"Open it!" Shunzhi said, "Why not open it? And you want to take advantage of this meeting to publicly announce that you will rehabilitate the Obai Party!"
Suzhou, Humble Administrator's Garden.
Yue Le's office has now changed its brand. It is no longer the office of the governor of Liangjiang in the Qing Dynasty, but replaced by the signboard of the Jiedushi of Susong Town in the Ming Dynasty. However, the person in charge within the yamen has not changed, it is still Yue Le. It's just that Yue Le, like Kangxi, cut off the braids on the back of his head, and also put on the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty. As the Chinese New Year was approaching, he was hugging the monk Zhixin in a secluded attic in the Humble Administrator's Garden. I feel so aggrieved when I have a headache and cry!
The reason why these two gentlemen cried each other during the Chinese New Year was because Yue Le received a letter that solved a mystery that had lingered in his mind for many years - a handwritten letter from the great monk Shunzhi!
Shunzhi's calligraphy is very unique. He can write big characters seriously, and his cursive script is also good. He also has a rather humorous "staggered calligraphy". This character is written in a staggered way, but it is not ugly, and it is very fun. Others simply imitate it. Not coming. Therefore, as soon as Monk Yuele Zhixin saw such handwriting, he knew that it was Shunzhi's own handwriting.
They were Shunzhi's good friends while Shunzhi was still alive. When Shunzhi was on stage, they were Shunzhi's partners. Their lives were extremely comfortable and there was no need to worry at all.
But after Shunzhi "disappeared", the two of them fell down immediately. No one loved or loved them, and they had to be bullied by Obai. Yue Le is a suspect in plotting to usurp the throne, while Shang Zhixin is the candidate rebel king in the "Three Kings' Rebellion"!
I don’t know when this life will end!
So for so many years, the two of them have often dreamed of the happy times with Shunzhi, and sometimes imagined what would happen if Shunzhi were still around. But I didn't expect this fantasy to come true.
Although the fantasy has come true, the world has changed, and they can no longer go back to the good times of traveling together in the suburbs of Beijing.
After the two hugged each other and cried for a while, they finally separated, and then they were speechless for a while. I don't know how long it took before Yue Le sighed and said: "It's almost time for me to take action! Wang Datou is attacking Anqing these days! Once Anqing is defeated by him and Wang Fuchen, Geng Jingzhong will have no chance to take action!" "
Li Fuchen and Li Zhongshan have already met at the foot of Anqing City, and their armies together have greatly suppressed the army of Geng Jingzhong's faction.
If Anqing changes hands, then the Li family and his son can lead an army into Nanjing, and then Geng Jingzhong will have no chance.
Shang Zhixin nodded and lowered his voice: "King Geng Dong knows that I am here just for this matter! King Geng Dong wants to take advantage of the New Year to take advantage of the New Year.
During the Chinese New Year, Wang Fuchen and Wang Datou will definitely come to Nanjing, and my sister will also return to Nanjing from Xuzhou and lead an elite army. King An, you and Lao Fan can also lead troops into Nanjing! "
Yue Le also nodded: "Okay! That's good for me. Tell Geng Jingzhong that I, Yue Le, only want to return to the Qing Dynasty with my troops and the land north of the Huaihe River after the matter is completed. Nothing else will happen." Ask for nothing.”
