"What? Geng Jingzhong wants to attack Changsha, Hunan together with Liu Jinzhong and Sun Yanling's people? Does he not want Fuzhou City?"
Zhuo Butai, who had already become a first-class super warrior and a "high imitation of Obai", couldn't believe it when he heard Kangxi's words.
"No!" Kangxi laughed, "Geng Jingzhong said that he would give up Fuzhou, Xinghua, Ningde and other state capitals, move the royal palace to Shaowu, and at the same time divide his troops to guard Tingzhou and Jianning. In this way, he could spare at least 20,000 people to sneak in When they arrived in Jiangxi, Liu Jinzhong and Sun Yanling also had more than 10,000 men at hand. This 30,000-strong army was a surprise force. When the decisive battle between me and Wu Sangui happened, their 30,000-strong army left Chaling Pass and entered Hunan. They first attacked Changsha by surprise, and then Go north and attack Yuezhou...Zhuo Butai, what do you think?"
"This..." Zhuo Butai's eyes also lit up, "What a Geng Jingzhong. If he really follows this method, Wu Sangui will definitely be defeated! Wu Sangui's main forces are concentrated in Yuezhou in Jiangbei and Jiangnan. Changsha, Hengzhou and other places were empty of troops. Geng Jingzhong's 30,000 troops killed him, so there was no reason why he couldn't take Changsha. If Changsha fell, Wu Sangui's retreat would be in danger. Geng Jingzhong didn't have to go north to Yuezhou, he could go directly west to collect treasures Qing and Changde. The troops in those places must be weaker than Changsha. If Baoqing and Changde are captured, it will be difficult for Wu Sangui to contact Yunnan and Guizhou through Hunan. Is there any reason not to lose?"
Kangxi nodded heavily and said with a smile: "Once Wu Sangui is defeated, what will Zhu Cijiong, Zhu Heji and his son do even if they capture the entire Fujian? I have the power of the world, even if I fight a protracted war, I can kill Guangdong and Fujian." .
Zhuo Butai, Mingzhu, when can I send troops? "
During this period, his army of coated slaves had been training, and the date of dispatching the troops was delayed again and again - Zhuo Butai would rather delay now than go to Xiangyang with an untrained army.
Because Xiangyang Prefecture is the front line. With an untrained army and an emperor to protect, it would be great fun if Wu Sangui were to surprise him.
"You can leave at any time!" Zhuo Butai finally relented this time, "Geng Jingzhong's conspiracy cannot be delayed. If the news leaks out, it will be difficult for Wu Sangui to be prepared."
Mingzhu said: "The slave also suggested sending troops as soon as possible. Now the slave army has been trained almost enough to take on important tasks."
"Okay!" Emperor Kangxi smiled, "Then we will send troops in three days... to Changning, Suo'etu, and Kabra!"
"The slave is here!"
The three people whose names were called by Kangxi all knelt down and did not dare to express their anger.
Because the three of them all knew that Emperor Kangxi was going to explain his "future affairs" - what happened after he left Beijing!
Among them, Chang Ning is Kangxi's younger brother, Prince Feng Gong, and the imperial uncle of Prince Yinreng.
Suo'etu is Tai Yinreng's uncle, and Kabula is Prince Yinreng's grandfather.
In addition, Emperor Kangxi's wife, Queen Hesheli, is still alive, plus an ancestor, Bumubutai... If Emperor Kangxi is really gone, they can also hang curtains on the two palaces, and the prince will be in charge and keep the peace. Yinfeng continued to be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
"The three of you stay in Beijing and become left-behind ministers together!" Kangxi said, "I will leave you three with an army of 5,000 coated slaves. Together with the 3rd patrol battalion and the Eight Banners soldiers in Beijing, there will be 35,000 more." More than a thousand people are enough to cope with sudden changes."
While Emperor Kangxi's army of coated slaves was training, the Eight Banners soldiers in Beijing were constantly being transferred to the front line.
Mingzhu had previously calculated for Emperor Kangxi that the total number of Eight Banners soldiers was 110,000, and the maximum number that could be used was 70,000. Several thousand of these 70,000 people have been incorporated into the slave army as the backbone, and there are still about 65,000 left.
Kangxi felt that the Eight Banners soldiers under Tuhai, Yue Le, and Jieshu were a little short, so he gave them a few thousand more, leaving fifty thousand left. Then Kangxi decided to leave 10,000 more Eight Banners troops in Beijing just in case, so the number of Eight Banners soldiers left behind increased to 25,000.
The remaining 40,000 people have now been divided into two groups, led by Duduo's son Dong E and grandson Eza respectively, and went south to support Pingnan General Leerjin in Xiangyang.
If Kangxi personally led an army of 30,000 coated slaves southward, after arriving at the Huguang battlefield, the Qing army in Xiangyang, Jingmen, Anlu, and Hanyang would probably have 120,000 to 30,000 soldiers in total!
If we also count the troops of Tu Hai, Jieshu and others and the 30,000 people of Geng Jingzhong and others who are preparing to join the Huguang battlefield.
Kangxi's total troops on the Huguang battlefield are estimated to exceed 200,000!
Wu Sangui has been expanding his army in the past few months, but due to the population size and limited financial resources, it is already overwhelming to increase the total number of troops on the Huguang battlefield to 100,000.
Two hundred thousand versus one hundred thousand... we must win!
...
"The Emperor has a decree to send out troops in three days to kill the traitor Wu Sangui first, and then kill the false Prince Zhu San!"
"Long live Long live Long live......"
When Emperor Kangxi's imperial edict was brought to the coated slave army in Nanhaizi by dozens of loud men in yellow jackets, the coated slaves who had just finished a day of rigorous training gave the loudest cheers.
This was not a cheer forced by the Manchu master with a knife on his neck, but a cheer from the heart.
The wrapped slaves are really eager to fight!
If Zhu Dasun, who is far away in Guangzhou and is preparing to recruit the mixed-race "little witch" Bei Jiaxin as his "mistress", sees this scene, his jaw will definitely drop... to be a slave, no, to be a wrapper Is the slave that happy?
But if you are not wearing clothes, how can you know the joy of clothes?
None of the 32,000 soldiers in Nanhaizi were tied up with ropes, otherwise Emperor Kangxi would not have dared to let them be his de facto imperial guards!
For example, Yan Baoyi, who came from the Fan family manor in Niuzhuang, Liaodong, outside the Guan Dynasty, took the documents issued by the master of the Fan family, and together with dozens of "fellow Baoyi", rode a mule, carrying luggage and weapons and the masters. With the travel expenses he was given, he came to Beijing to work as a slave.
That's right, there was no one to escort them, and the master of the Fan family also asked them to go on the road with weapons - if they met bandits on the road without weapons and were plundered, wouldn't this coated slave be considered a slave?
What? Run away by yourself?
How can it be?
Being a Baoyi has been Yan Baoyi's dream since he was a child... His name "Baoyi" was not given after he became a Baoyi, but was given by his parents. The upper part is wrapped and the lower part is wrapped, so it is named Baoyi.
Why is there such an ideal?
There is a wealth effect!
The Fan family farm in Niuzhuang was the property of Fan Wencheng, the first rich man in the Qing Dynasty.
Although Fan Wencheng's wife let Duduo sleep with her, the benefits Fan Wencheng gained from his Manchu master were much greater than a cuckold.
Not to mention the official titles, the Fan Mansion's land outside the customs alone amounts to 47,309 acres!
In addition, there are 85 shops in Shengjing City, and 157 houses in the manor back home.
There are as many as forty-one "undertakers" and "farmers" who manage these properties for Fan Mansion, there are one hundred and thirty-seven households of domestic slaves, and there are as many as thousands of tenants cultivating these 40,000 acres. household.
The dozens of wrappers contributed by the Fan Mansion to the Qing masters were selected from the domestic slaves and tenants of the Fan Manor outside the Pass.
And those who were selected to be Baoyi all burst into tears with gratitude, while those who were not selected burst into tears... And Yan Baoyi's family was a tenant, not even a domestic slave in Fan's house. Now he has become a servant of the Qing Dynasty with a red flag, and he has become a loyal soldier of the emperor. It is almost like reaching the sky in one step.
What other reason does he have for running away?
Now that he heard the news of sending troops south, what reason did he have not to cheer?
The Qing Dynasty was so powerful, how could that minion Wu Sangui and the remnants of the Third Prince Zhu withstand the blows of the subordinate minions?
Moreover, Yan Baoyi still has ambitions. He wants to make further progress... The flag captain dare not think about it, but he was promoted from the Baoyi with the red flag to the Baoyi with the white flag, and became the Baoyi of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. , you can still think about it.
At this time, the imperial guards wearing yellow mandarins loudly announced the rules of promotion throughout the military barracks.
"Anyone who lowers the Five Flags to wrap up one of the heads of the traitor soldiers will be immediately carried up to the Three Flags to wrap up!"
"Anyone who goes up to the Three Banners to wrap up one of the heads of the rebel soldiers will be immediately carried to the Lower Five Banners to serve as a Han army!"
