"Slave Fu Honglie bows to receive the imperial edict!"
When Fu Honglie said these words, there were tears in his eyes, and he suppressed them to prevent himself from crying. This royal favor is so profound!
During this period, Fu Honglie's slave fortune was really rocketing up like a rocket! Not only did he raise the flag and become a slave of the Zhengbai Banner Han Army, but he also became a slave of the Hanlin Academy and became a slave of the Hanlin Academy. Now he is even appointed as the Minister of Supervision of the Yangtze River Navy... although this minister is not a permanent one. Official, so there is no rank.
But this real power is really great!
Thinking of this, Fu Honglie could only kowtow to the ground and salute Emperor Kangxi, and then step aside.
"Prince An." Kangxi saw him retreat and immediately called Prince An again.
"My servant is here." Prince An Yue Le immediately left for work, and then knelt down to Emperor Kangxi.
"Prince An, you have followed Prince Su to defeat the Xian traitors, and you have been appointed by General Xuanwei to fight against the Khalkha Mongolia. You can be called a famous general in this dynasty."
As soon as Kangxi came up, he praised Yue Le fiercely, which moved Yue Le very much. At the same time, he also knew that it was his turn to take action, and he kowtowed quickly and said: "The emperor has rewarded you. How dare Yue Le take on such a great name. The emperor has a destiny, and he is a slave." Even though he is a mess, he still does not fail the divine grace!"
Kangxi nodded, feeling extremely satisfied with the emperor's uncle's humility and courage.
"Prince An," Kangxi said, "Now Wu Sangui has rebelled...and his troops are pointing directly at the Yangtze River! The court must make the destruction of Wu the first priority, and the battlefield has also moved from Lingnan to the Yangtze River Basin and Sichuan-Shaanxi area. In your opinion, where should the imperial court deploy its defenses, where should it attack, and where should it temporarily give up?"
"Returning to the emperor, in my humble opinion, although Wu Sangui is powerful, his stamina is limited. Moreover, he is old and has lost his energy, so it is difficult for him to achieve success." Prince An Yue Le thought about the words and said again, "Although the imperial court has decided on the order of Wu first and then Zhu, it cannot take the pseudo-Zhu third prince in Guangdong and Fujian lightly... Please don't forget the pirate Zheng Yanping's Northern Expedition in the 16th year of Shunzhi! If that year The person supervising the land battle is not Zheng Yanping but Zhu Heji, Zhuge Sanhe, Yang Xiuqing and others, so Jiangning will inevitably change hands!"
"Oh, uncle Huang means that Nanjing is the first important point that the imperial court must defend?"
"Your Majesty!" Prince An Yue Le said, "If there is a loss in Jiangning...the imperial court will lose the wealth in the southeast. If there is no wealth in the southeast, what will Shi Lang and Fu Honglie use to manage the navy and guard the navy?" Yangtze River? If the navy of the false prince Zhu Sangui attacks in the east, and the land division of Wu Sangui attacks in the west, how can Tuhai hold on in Wuchang and Jiujiang when being attacked from both sides? What if the false prince Zhu San once again uses Jiangning as a stronghold to set sail for the Northern Expedition? Liaodong, will we return home?"
Ginger is indeed old and spicy!
After all, Yue Le is an old man who has experienced Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expedition to Nanjing. He knows the fear and fear in Beijing back then... To be honest, when Li Dingguo became king, no one was that scared!
Because no matter how much trouble Li Dingguo makes, as long as he cannot create a navy capable of crossing the Yangtze River, he will definitely stop at Yuezhou and not even reach Wuchang.
And once Zheng Chenggong captured Nanjing, how difficult would it be to turn his pirates into Yangtze River navy?
If the population and wealth in the south of the Yangtze River are all there is, what difficulty will there be in the navy going north again to land in Shandong, Liaodong, and Korea?
When Zheng Chenggong's army arrives at Shanhaiguan, the fun will be great.
So at that time, Emperor Shunzhi spread out the map and took a look, my dear, it was really a vast sea area with thousands of miles of sea, and there was leakage everywhere... The Qing Dynasty was about to be over!
This frightened Emperor Shunzhi!
Fortunately, Zheng Chenggong's land war was really defeated, and the Qing Dynasty escaped.
But this time Zhu Heji, Zhuge Sanhe, and Yang Xiuqing were at a very high level in land warfare!
Emperor Kangxi nodded repeatedly, "Uncle the emperor has thought carefully! Nanjing must be guarded by important ministers!"
"Your Majesty," Yue Le said again, "not only Jiangning, but also Songjiang, Suzhou, Zhenjiang, Taicang, Changzhou, and Haimenting, Tongzhou, and Yangzhou in the north of the Yangtze River must be tightly guarded! We must not allow the traitors to attack the Yangtze River Estuary After landing, fight back to the west step by step.
In addition, Zhejiang also needs to be heavily fortified and entrusted with capable officials with both civil and military skills to take charge of the overall situation. "
Kangxi pondered and asked: "Prince An, who in the court do you think can guard Jiangning?"
Prince An Yue Le immediately kowtowed to Emperor Kangxi: "Your Majesty, this servant has volunteered to go to Jiangning to look after this important place for the survival of the country for you!"
Kangxi felt a little surprised and was startled for a moment and said: "Uncle Huang thinks there is a high possibility that Zhu San and his son will attack from across the sea?"
Yue Le said: "Your Majesty, the false Prince Zhu and his son came from Guangdong and are located in the southern corner of the world. This is extremely detrimental to their struggle for the world. And they also used the banner of the third son of Chongzhen, and it is impossible to favor Tiannan. They are like vassal kings. So I estimate that the two father and son will definitely forge ahead! To advance from Guangdong, there are no more than two ways, one way is to go north to Huguang and Jiangxi to the Yangtze River; the other way is to go to the southeast along the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang.
If Zhu San and his son marched northward through Huguang and Jiangxi, they would either have a conflict with Wu Sangui and benefit the imperial court, or they would have a fierce battle with the imperial soldiers and horses to benefit Wu Sangui... If Wu Sangui was allowed to enter Wuchang first, and then sail eastward, he would be in trouble. The prosperous place of Jinling was destroyed. So what other options do Zhu San and his son have for survival?
Therefore, Zhu San and his son must go north along the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang, and go straight to Jiangning. Moreover, they have the pirates Zheng Shizi and Qiu Hui to help them, as well as ships and sailors. It should not be difficult to transport tens of thousands of people to the Northern Expedition by water.
The gains and losses of Jiangning are related to the rise and fall of the country, so there must be no room for loss! After thinking about it, I felt uneasy about shouldering such a heavy responsibility for others, so I boldly asked for orders to go to Zhenjiang Ning! "
After saying this, Yue Le kowtowed heavily again and fell to the ground!
Seeing Yue Le's performance and listening to Yue Le's well-founded analysis before, Emperor Kangxi also felt that it was Yue Le who must guard Jiangning.
So Kangxi no longer hesitated and announced loudly: "Prince An Yue Le, I order you to serve as General Xuanwei again and also take charge of General Jiangning, Xuanwei southeast, guard Jiangning, and control the military and civilians of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces... ...In addition, we will mobilize three thousand elite soldiers from the Forward Battalion, the Valiant Cavalry Battalion, the Coated Valiant Cavalry Battalion, and the newly formed Coated Fire Thunder Battalion to accompany them southward!"
Kangxi was bleeding money this time! There were 3,000 Eight Banners soldiers at the outset, and elite soldiers from the newly formed Baoyi Fire and Thunder Battalion were also dispatched.
The so-called Bao Yi Huo Lei Camp, like the Bao Yi Xiaoqi Battalion, was under the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Most of its members came from the Shangsan Banner coating slaves under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and were personally trained by Kangxi and the "real Hanlin" Zhang Hongtian.
Yue Le kowtowed again: "There are slaves guarding Jiangning. Even if the traitor Zhu San has millions of people, he can't even think of setting foot in the south of the Yangtze River!"
Hearing the words of Prince An Yue Le, Emperor Kangxi suddenly felt a lot more at ease... This Prince An is indeed a reassuring prince!
It's a pity that there was only one Prince An in the Qing Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Kangxi asked again: "Prince An, besides Jiangning, where else is the key to pacifying Wu and destroying Zhu?"
"Returning to the emperor, I feel that Wuchang is the most important place under Jiangning. Wuchang is the thoroughfare of nine provinces and controls the throats of the Yangtze River and the Han River. If it is taken by Wu, Wu thieves will not only have the possibility of going east along the river. There will also be fools. Entering Xiang, head north with all your strength to try and give it a try! Fortunately, there are Tuhai guarding Wuchang, and Shi Lang and Sun Sike assisting, so there should be no serious problems. However, Jingzhou to the west of Wuchang, Nanchang, Jiujiang and other places to the east of Wuchang, Heavy troops should also be deployed to prevent Wu Ni from taking the risk of dividing his troops north of the Yangtze River or invading from Jiangxi, detouring to the lower reaches of Wuchang, and then advancing from east to west.
In addition, the slaves thought that Yuezhou Prefecture did not need to hold on... and could be given to Wu Ni. "
"Give Yuezhou to Wu Ni? Why?" Kangxi was puzzled.
"Back to the emperor," Prince An Yue Le said, "if Wu Sangui captures Yuezhou, he will definitely build a large naval force to move down the river. If Yuezhou cannot be captured, Wu Sangui may have the idea to cross the river with his entire army. To the north..."
