Gao Shiqi took the protocol on deposing the emperor passed by the council of kings and ministers, and led a few unknown Sauron guards from the northeastern corners of the country out of Beijing and headed south, looking for the deposed former emperor. The army led by the emperor left and after two days of searching, they finally found Kangxi's camp in Zhuozhou.
Zhuozhou is a state under Shuntian Prefecture. It is located in the southwest corner of Shuntian Prefecture, next to Baoding Prefecture. Although it is located on a large plain with flat rivers, there is a Beijima River in the north of the city, a Baigou River in the east of the city, and a Baigou River in the west of the city. A few dozen miles away is the towering Yanshan Mountain, so it has always been a strategic military location southwest of Beijing.
After leaving Jingxing, Kangxi did not occupy any land or attack the city. He just covered his head and attacked Shuntian Prefecture. After arriving at Zhuozhou, he changed his previous style and occupied Zhuozhou. Not only did they occupy the city of Zhuozhou, but they also divided their troops to control several bridges on the Beijuma River and Baigou River. They also sent troops to occupy Banbidian to the north of the Beijuma River and Ximi Gezhuang to the east of the Baigou River. , thereby firmly controlling the passage across the Juma River to the north and the Baigou River to the west.
In addition, Kangxi also asked Wu Shijue and Wu Eryu, who had followed him all the way north, to station themselves in three stores in the south of Zhuozhou City.
This creates a posture of "Dragon Watching" Beijing and forcing the enemy out of the city!
After all, Kangxi was the Qing emperor - he didn't know that he had been deposed. The Qing emperor led an army of 100,000 to station in the southwest corner of Shuntian Mansion, and looked at the city of Beijing with "long eyes".
He is the legitimate emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Once he is stationed in Shuntian Mansion, so close to Beijing, the authority of Fuquan, the regent, must be completely wiped out?
Moreover, as long as Kangxi established a firm foothold in Zhuozhou, he could advance eastward along the Yongding River-Zhigu River (Haihe) until he separated Beijing from the area south of Shuntian Prefecture.
Now the territory of the Qing Dynasty in Guan is roughly the "Four Provinces of Mountains and Rivers". Among them, Shanxi except Datong Prefecture is under the control of Kangxi. The situation in the three provinces of Henan, Zhili, and Shandong must be complicated, and many local officials may be " "Double-faced loyalty" - one side is loyal to Kangxi, the other side is loyal to Fuquan.
Once Kangxi cut off the connection between Beijing and Henan, Zhili, and Shandong, those "two-faced loyalists" would definitely repent and change from "two-faced loyalties" to one-sided loyalty!
As long as all the "double-faced loyalists" in the four provinces of Shanhe and Shanhe belong to Kangxi, Kangxi will be stable!
After all, this war of brothers is a power struggle within the Qing Dynasty, and those "double-faced loyalists" just want to follow the winner. As long as they see that Kangxi is sure of victory, they will all come to join him.
Why would Fuquan fight with Kangxi then?
Kangxi was the legitimate Emperor of the Qing Dynasty!
That unfaithful and unfilial Amma can't come up with another edict saying that he will be deposed from the throne, right? The previous edict said that the throne should be passed to Xuan Ye, and the next one said that he wanted to abolish Wan? D!
Therefore, Kangxi's plan was to occupy the large and small fortresses south of Shuntian Prefecture, block the communication between Beijing and other parts of the four provinces, and then win over those "two-faced loyalists" and turn them into "one-faced loyalists". ", and at the same time forced Fuquan to send troops for a decisive battle!
As long as Fuquan gave up the strong city of Beijing and ran to the battlefield prepared by Kangxi to fight, Kangxi would have a 70 to 80 percent chance of winning!
As long as Kangxi has a higher chance of winning, this expectation will come true - because there are many "double-faced loyalists" in Fu Quan's army and Kangxi's army. Whoever these "double-faced loyalists" support will win this war. Qing Civil War.
And all "two-faced loyalists" must be willing to support the winner, so whoever has a greater chance of winning will get the support of the majority of "two-faced loyalists" and will win.
But now, the advantage is obviously "hemp"!
Kangxi had a great reputation, had the support of Wu Sangui, and his military power was obviously stronger than that of Fuquan. How could he lose?
"Your Majesty, this is a secret gift from Prince Gong, Prince Jian, Prince Xin, Bahai, Shi Lang, Suo'etu, Mingzhu, Mu Zhan and Yang Qilong!"
The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty was walking in Zhuozhou City. In a study, Kangxi was secretly summoning two spies, Cao Xi and Cao Yin.
The father and son have been operating in Fuquan's territory these days, contacting "two-faced loyalists" everywhere for Kangxi, and almost all Fuquan's men who may defect! Even Prince Gong Chang Ning and Chang Ning's ally Heilongjiang General Bahai ran away.
And the result of the run was pretty good. These "double-faced loyalists" all gave Kangxi a secret discount!
"Great! Even Chang Ning, Labu, Eza, Bahai and Yang Qilong gave me discounts. It seems that everyone knows that Fuquan is just a rabbit's tail that can't grow!" Kangxi was very happy when he heard Cao Xi's report. , "Hurry and show me the records of Chang Ning, Ba Hai and Yang Qilong!"
Kangxi was not very interested in the stories of Labu, Ezha, Suo'etu, Mingzhu, Mu Zhan and Shi Lang, because except for Shi Lang, those few men had few soldiers, so even if they defected in battle, it would be very difficult. It is difficult for him to play a decisive role, and it is impossible for Shi Lang, admiral of the navy, to participate in the land battle on the Shuntian Mansion Plain - whoever wins is left to mess with him! After all, he is the only admiral of the navy in the Qing Dynasty now, and no one who becomes emperor can do without him.
But Chang Ning, Ba Hai, and Yang Qilong are different!
They all have a large number of armies at hand. If they defect, Kangxi will lose.
In addition, Yang Qilong not only had the Zhili regiment training in his hands, but also Nalalan'er. Kangxi's condition of wanting Nalalan'er to be his queen was serious! This is not entirely because of lust, but also to win over the powerful Han people.
Now the Qing Dynasty has been beaten violently by the Zhou Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty in turn, causing heavy losses, and the full content is getting lower and lower!
After Kangxi defeated Fuquan, he had to be cleaned again, and the blood content had to be further reduced. If Kangxi could not win over the powerful Han people, his Qing Dynasty would not be able to survive at all.
And Yang Qilong had money, soldiers, and girls, and controlled Shi Lang to a certain extent, so marrying Yang Xiaomi would be very beneficial to Kangxi's future stability in the north.
However, Yang Qilong's excerpt did not write about defection, but only about the Ming and Qing alliance's opposition to Zhou Dynasty. In his excerpts, he compared the Qing Dynasty to Sun Wu, the Ming Dynasty to Shu Han, Wu Sangui to Cao Wei, and suggested that Kangxi abandon Lian Wu and switch to Lian Ming
"What does Yang Qilong mean?" Kangxi was confused.
Cao Yin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Yang Qilong is willing to defect. But this cannot be written in the secret book. If anything happens, his whole family will not survive!"
Cao Xi also said: "Your Majesty, Yang Qilong personally told Xiao Yinzi that Wang Datou did not send reinforcements from the sea to Zhili this time, but only sent 3,000 muskets and a dozen cannons. Your Majesty, you have the support of Da Zhou, But Fuquan failed to get the support of Ming Dynasty, so the emperor will win this battle!"
Kangxi snorted: "Wang Datou has sent troops, but he is not sending troops to Zhili to help Fuquan fight, but sending troops to Henan to seize Fuquan's territory!"
Cao Yin said: "Congratulations to the emperor! Fuquan will definitely not get reinforcements from Wang Datou. Plus so many people are ready to defect, then we will definitely lose!"
Kangxi nodded, full of confidence. Just as he was about to say a few more words of encouragement, Li Guangdi's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, something big has happened!"
Kangxi was startled, "Li Guangdi? Come in quickly!"
"Your Majesty, Gao Shiqi is here too," Li Guangdi did not come in immediately, but said to Kangxi outside the door, "He has something important to report."
"Come in, come in together."
Kangxi was a little nervous.
Gao Shiqi was an informant he sent to Fuquan. Why did he suddenly come to Zhuozhou? Anything else? Could it be that Fuquan's army was coming to surrender?
Li Guangdi led Gao Shiqi in and kowtowed to Kangxi together. Kangxi quickly let them level up, and then opened his mouth and asked: "Shiqi, why are you here? What happened?"
"Your Majesty," Gao Shiqi said with an angry expression on his face, with tears still in his eyes, "The meeting of kings and ministers recently passed a 'protocol' to remove you from the throne!"
"What?" Kangxi's face was shocked, and he couldn't speak clearly, "They, how dare they"
"Your Majesty, this is the 'protocol' for those rebellious ministers and traitors," Gao Shiqi said, holding up a wooden box with a seal, "The regent also ordered me to send you this 'protocol'. It's really, really great. Bullying!"
Kangxi's face turned livid: "They, did they support Fuquan as emperor?"
"Not really." Gao Shiqi shook his head.
"Not Fuquan? Is it possible?" Kangxi was greatly surprised again, "Is it possible that he was the late emperor?"
If Shunzhi really announced his resurrection, then Kangxi's head would be really big. What would he do? Don’t recognize Shunzhi’s resurrection? Or announce a crusade against Emperor Ama? It doesn’t seem to be a problem, right?
"The late emperor? Why did the late emperor become the emperor?" Gao Shiqi seemed not to know that Shunzhi had been resurrected, but he did not go into details. He just shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, there is no emperor now, no, there is an emperor, but it is not with the regent. There is no emperor."
"There is no emperor?" Kangxi was extremely surprised. "Does Fuquan want to create a republic without a father and a king?"
Kangxi knew that there was a country without a father and a king in the West, but he never thought that Fuquan would have such a ridiculous idea!
"No, Bu Fuquan doesn't want to create a country without a father and a king," Gao Shiqi said. "Although the Council of Council of Councilors deposed you from the throne, they made you the Supreme Emperor! In addition, Council of Councilors of Council of Councilors also wanted to invite you to the throne. You choose one of the four sons of the Regent and Prince Gong to be your adopted son to inherit the throne of the Qing Dynasty."
"What?" Kangxi looked incredulous, "Are these political ministers all fools? Do they think I am Cao Shuang? Will they be deceived by such sweet words? Dream! I have an army of 100,000, and I will enter Beijing immediately! "
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Li Guangdi hurriedly advised Kangxi, "Fuquan's move is most likely to anger the Emperor. The Emperor has now occupied the key point of Gyeonggi. As long as he continues to fight steadily, he will be able to force Fuquan out of Beijing. As long as he comes out , the emperor will be sure of victory."
Kangxi snorted coldly, pointed at the wooden box and said, "Am I going to allow such a ridiculous book to be spread everywhere?"
"Your Majesty," Gao Shiqi said, "Actually, the king and the ministers are also very dissatisfied with this. They just dare to be angry and dare not say anything. If the emperor personally leads an army of 100,000 to approach Beijing, he will cooperate with the imperial edict to dismiss Fu Quan and Suo Na. , People’s hearts in Beijing will definitely be in chaos.”
Kangxi nodded heavily: "Yes! If Fuquan dares to use the Council of Ministers to oust me, I will issue an edict to remove him from his duties and hold him accountable! In addition, I will also abolish the Council of Ministers forever! Li Guangdi, Gao Shiqi, prepare an edict for me quickly!"
"嗻!"
Li Guangdi and Gao Shiqi hurriedly accepted the order.
Kangxi still felt puzzled and shouted again: "Beat the drum, gather the generals and I will send troops to the north!"
Beijing, Prince Regent's Palace.
"The Regent, the Regent, and the Supreme Emperor's army have crossed the Baigou River and are heading towards the Yongding River."
Regent Fuquan, who was lying on a soft couch with squinted eyes and enjoying Nalalan'er's massage service, was about to fall asleep comfortably when the roar of Guanyin Bao suddenly came to his ears.
He sat up suddenly, and the expression on his face changed rapidly, from a look of enjoyment to a look of nervousness.
Kangxi was still better at fighting than him!
"Your Majesty," this was Na Lalan'er's sweet voice, "The Emperor is not your rival. My concubine's brother has already given away hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for you. This is still a deposit!"
"Yes!" Fuquan's confidence suddenly came to him, "Money can make the world go round! I will definitely win!"
Na Lalan'er said again: "Your Majesty, you will spend money to bribe the Supreme Emperor's people, and the Supreme Emperor will also appoint officials and make promises. People who bribe you should be careful!"
Fuquan nodded and said with a smile: "We have already made arrangements!"
As he spoke, he turned to look at his beauty, "Xiao Mi, if I become the emperor, I will definitely make you the queen!"
"Your Majesty," Na Lalan'er shook her head and said, "You still have a married wife. Ordinary people know that a wife of chaff cannot be abandoned, let alone an emperor like you? I am not willing to take away the title of queen from my sister. As long as I have a noble concubine, I will be content."
"You will be the noble concubine!" Fuquan stood up and said firmly, "Between the queens, you are the greatest!"
As he spoke, Fuquan strode out of the house. Guanyin Bao was standing outside, and when he saw Fuquan coming out, he immediately gave a salute: "Your Majesty, please come to report on the horse. The Emperor's army has been dispatched, and it seems that they want to attack Beijing!"
Fuquan snorted: "He must have been irritated by the protocol of the Council of Ministers, and it was just the right time! He left the favorable terrain of Zhuozhou, Juma River, and Baigou River undefended, and wanted to cross the Yongding River to fight. If there are some mistakes, the entire army will be wiped out!"
"Prince Regent Shengming!" Guanyin Bao immediately sent a flattering message.
Fuquan said: "Let's go to the military meeting hall!"
The military meeting hall in the Regent's Palace was where Fuquan gave orders and commanded the army.
When Fuquan arrived there, Hauge's eldest son Qi Zheng'e, Aobai's grandson-in-law Zhenguo Gong Lanbu (originally Prince Jingjin), Banbulshan's five sons Sethu, Guoli, Baixin and Duoli , Bo Li, Tu Hai's son Nuo Min, Ao Bai's nephew Nerdu (Kangxi's brother-in-law) and others all gathered together and geared up.
These people are the backbone of Fuquan's Regent's Palace Guard Camp - the Regent's Palace Guard Camp is a "big camp" with a total strength of 5,000 people, which is equivalent to an association. It is Fuquan's most elite force.
And the key officers of this army, except for Qi Zheng'e, who serves as the Minister of Management, are all "Ao Party members"!
Others can betray Fuquan and join Kangxi, but these "Ao Dang" can only share the fate with Fuquan!
Because without Fuquan, they are still suffering in Ninggu Pagoda!
In addition, the soldiers in this guard camp all have backgrounds. They are either criminals who suffered in Ninggu Pagoda, or they are Barhu and Sauron people recruited from the bitter cold places in the northeast!
They are all extremely powerful warriors, who can compete with the "old white-armored soldiers" who dominated the world back then!
"This servant is waiting to pay his respects to the Regent!"
When a group of Ao gang members saw Fu Quan coming, they saluted together, their voices loud and clear.
Fuquan looked at this group of "backbones of the Ao Party" and they looked fierce! If Ao Bai does not fall and this group of people leads the army, then Wu Sangui and Wang Datou may not be as proud as they are now.
Fuquan nodded and said, "Everyone, get up!"
"嗻!"
Fu Quan walked behind a table and sat down with a golden sword. "The Emperor's army has moved eastward and crossed the Baigou River. They should cross the Yongding River soon. What do you think?"
"Prince Regent," said Obai's nephew Nerdu, "the Supreme Emperor now controls Zhuozhou. The purpose of advancing eastward should be to control the territory south of the capital. Once the goal is achieved, it is possible to outflank the east. In this way, we and Contacts in the southern part of Zhili may be interrupted. Officials and people in various places may continue to be deceived by the Supreme Emperor, thinking that he is still the emperor."
"That must be the case!" Fuquan nodded, "Then what should we do?"
"Send troops!" Qi Zheng said, "Prince Regent, now is the time for us to meet on a narrow road. Whoever dares to fight will win!"
"Prince Regent, my slave Setu is willing to lead an elite army as the vanguard of the army!"
Bamboulshan's son Setu gritted his teeth when he spoke, as if he was filled with hatred.
His father was killed by Kangxi, and seven or eight of his brothers also died together! Although he and the other four brothers saved their lives, they were still exiled to Ning Guta. Without the great kindness of the regent, their lives would have been ruined.
Fuquan shook his head: "Setu, I know you are good, but I don't need you to take the lead this time. Because I have a more important task for you!"
"My lord, what do you want us to do?" Qi Zhenge asked.
Fuquan sneered and said: "Supervise the formation! Bring the silver and white-armored soldiers to each army to supervise the battle. First give a sum of money to the subordinates, and then bring more silver to the battlefield. Those who have merit will be rewarded. Whoever dares to escape from the battle will be given a reward." Go and behead the Barhus and Saurons!" He gritted his teeth and said, "I have a lot of money, and I will buy an emperor this time!"
