"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty. Among the Portuguese people from Macau who have come back this time, there are more than a dozen of them with real talent and learning!"
After reading the table of Rodoni and Sampaolo, Nan Huairen said to Emperor Kangxi with a joyful expression: "For example, Rodoni and Sampaolo are Antonio Romario and Paulo Santos in the table. They are famous scholars in the West. There are also eleven people including De Figo, Fernando Conceição, Joao Ronaldo, Peter Pinto, Paulo Gomez, Antonio Cappuccio, etc., all of whom are famous in the West. Warriors are either proficient in firearms or adept at naval warfare. With their assistance, the imperial court will be able to quickly wipe out the rebels in Guangdong!"
I have to say that these Portuguese surnames sound very scary. Romario, Ronaldo, Figo, Pinto, Gomez...if these descendants were passed down to the 21st century and all appeared on the national football roster, they would scare the shit out of their opponents!
But now the competition between the Ming and Qing Dynasties is not about football, but a battle of tactics...a battle of tactics, a battle of magic!
After listening to Nan Huairen's words, Emperor Kangxi just nodded lightly, "Then let them go to Beijing as soon as possible. After I see them, I will naturally make arrangements."
Nan Huairen quickly took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Then I will thank His Majesty for your kindness on their behalf."
Kangxi said: "Nan Huairen, did Luo Dongni and Sam Paulo tell you about the evil methods of the fake Zhu San Taisun and Zhuge Demon Dao?"
"Your Majesty," Nan Huairen said, taking out a folded piece of letter paper from his sleeve pocket and handing it over with both hands, "This is a letter written by Bishop Sanpaolo to me. The letter mentioned the smoke magic and the The matter of the Heavenly Thunder Demon Technique..."
"What's going on with this smoke magic?"
Emperor Kangxi frowned. There are more and more of these evil spells now!
"Reporting to your Majesty," Nan Huairen said, "This smoke magic does not seem to be able to directly hurt people, it just blocks the line of sight."
Kangxi said in his heart: "This is incredible! How can you use guns, bows and arrows to kill the thieves if you can't even see them? Shang Zhixin's apology note said that the traitors first used smoke magic to confuse Zeng Qizhao's formation, and then used fireballs. He was burned with evil magic, so that Zeng Qizhao was defeated and died..."
Seeing that Emperor Kangxi was silent, the ministers and servants below were of course heavy-hearted. The atmosphere in the South Study became more and more depressing, so oppressive that people could hardly breathe.
However, Emperor Kangxi did not remain silent for too long. After a while, the cloud that filled his face gradually dissipated.
"Haha, aren't they just some unfashionable demonic methods? Since ancient times, I have never heard of anyone who conquered the world with demonic methods and Taoism. Even if Zhuge Wuhou had the art of reaching heaven, these three parts of the world did not belong to Shu Han in the end! Didn't the Wei army resist him six times when he came out of Qishan? As for Zhang Jiao, Fangla and others, they used some meager techniques to deceive people's hearts. Although they succeeded for a while, didn't they end up defeated and killed in the end? It can be seen that the struggle in the world can be relied on. It’s still bowing, horse riding, and shooting, it’s still the hearts and support of the scholar-bureaucrats in the world, it’s not Taoism and magic. The little skills Zhu San and Zhuge have in demonism will definitely not achieve great things!”
Emperor Kangxi's rambling words really cheered up the depressed mood of the group of ministers and servants in the South Study Room.
What he said is right. Since ancient times, who has relied on Taoism and magic to conquer the world?
Kangxi paused, and then continued: "Since ancient times, most of the battles in the world have been between the north and the south, and only Zhu Yuanzhang once did the south determine the north. But Zhu Yuanzhang took Jiangning as his foundation, not Guangdong.
Guangdong, a barren and barren land, has never been a place to raise troops and use force since ancient times... Zhu San started in Guangdong, how could he achieve great things? Moreover, he does not own all of Guangdong now, but only occupies seven counties including Jieyang, Chaoyang, Huilai, Chenghai, Xiangshan, Shunde, and Nanhai. Even if we can go one step further and enter Guangzhou City, what can we do? Our Qing Dynasty has many soldiers and generals, and some military expenses. We just need to grind with them slowly. Even with his little magic and Taoism, I don't even bother to send the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers south to compete with him! "
Kangxi is Kangxi...who knows how to use Han people to defeat Han people!
The Heavenly Soldiers of the Eight Banners just won’t be sent!
Not to mention Guangzhou is in a hurry, even if Zhu Heji enters Guangzhou, Kangxi will not send the Eight Banners heavenly troops!
In the original history, Wu Sangui fought as far as the Yangtze River on the eastern front, and as far as Shaanxi on the western front. Kangxi still refused to let the main force of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers go to the front line to fight for Wu Sangui... The main force of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers did not move. The old traitor Wu Sangui was a coward and rebel, and he did not dare to risk his life.
Kangxi then used a small number of Eight Banners soldiers to escort a large number of Green Camp soldiers to fight Wu Sangui in a war of attrition, hoping to hurt others with his own strength.
Although Wu Sangui did not suffer much loss in the fights and was still very strong, the old traitor was old and eventually died of diarrhea himself. He had no successors, so Emperor Kangxi had a great victory in vain.
If Kangxi had rushed to send the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers to Hunan from the beginning, he might have killed 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers in one battle, and then all the green soldiers in the world would have rebelled, and the Qing Dynasty would have been destroyed.
And when he met Zhu San, who might be a better fighter than Wu Sangui, Kangxi still used one move to defeat the Han and then another to hurt him.
Of course, Kangxi did not take this "book" from his own pocket. The main reason was that the big vassal and the small vassal below were fighting for their lives with Zhu San. He, the emperor, is still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai!
And now it seems that Shang Kexi's Ben is not enough to compensate, who should be allowed to take over?
Emperor Kangxi thought of this and asked his ministers and servants: "Although Zhu San's traitors cannot achieve great things, they have temporarily gained the upper hand in Guangdong with their inferior magic skills. Although King Pingnan and my father-in-law are I’ve tried my best, but it’s still hard to resist, so it seems like I’ll have to send more helpers there... Who do you think is more suitable?”
What Kangxi said sounded nice. Although Shang Kexi and Monk Zhixin suffered repeated defeats, Kangxi did not mean to blame him at all.
And he also made it clear that he was sending helpers there... to help Shang Kexi, not to replace Shang Kexi! So Shang Kexi and Shang Zhixin can rest assured!
Since he is not replacing Shang Kexi, Wu Sangui must not move.
So who is going?
"Your Majesty," Chief Academician Tu Hai stood up, "I recommend Guangxi General Sun Yanling to lead troops to aid Guangdong."
"Sun Yanling?" Kangxi thought for a moment, "Can he do it?"
Tu Hai smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know if Sun Yanling can do it... I have to ask Gege about this."
"Ask Princess?" Emperor Kangxi always felt that something was wrong, "Tuhai, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
"My slave obeys the order." Tu Hai said with a smile, "Who do you think the emperor has made the greatest contribution among the Han vassals of the Qing Dynasty?"
"Of course it's Wu..." Emperor Kangxi just finished speaking. He already understood what Tu Hai meant and immediately changed his words: "It's Kong Youde! It's Kong Youde, King of Dingnan!"
"Your Majesty!" Tu Hai flattered loudly, and there was no need to say anything more.
With Emperor Kangxi's IQ, of course he knew what Tuhaizhi's trick was?
And it was indeed inconvenient for Tu Hai to finish all the words... If he had to say all the words, his favor would be too great, and Emperor Kangxi's kindness would be too small.
Being so unified by Tu Hai, Kangxi suddenly felt that his eyes were suddenly enlightened and his mood improved. He immediately said: "If Kong Wuzhuang hadn't rebelled in Shandong and returned with red cannons and new-style shotguns, our Eight Banners soldiers would not have known How many people must be killed by the Ming army with firearms?
For such a great contribution, being sealed in that poor place in Guangxi has already been unfairly treated. As a result, the inheritance was cut off because of the heir, and I feel unworthy of the hero! How about this, first give Kong Sizhen the title of Princess Heshuo Dingnan!
All the treatment is the same as that of King Dingnan, and she is also allowed to recruit twenty-five banner troops... The military expenses required are all taken from the Guangxi vassal treasury! The required land is available in Guangxi.
Zaiming sent an edict to Guangxi General Sun Yanling, telling him to send troops to give me a good fight this time. After Zhu San is destroyed... let him succeed Kong Youde as King of Dingnan and rule Guangxi forever! "
