With a roar, the bookcase in the south study room of Wuying Palace fell to the ground, frightening the eunuchs and maids standing around with their heads down to fall to the ground. Duolong, the internal minister who was guarding the door, rushed in in a panic and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Kangxi was safe and sound and that Kong Sizhen did not "explode".
He had personally searched Kong Sizhen's body just now. He searched her up and down... She really didn't find any hidden thunder!
So when he heard the "boom", he was frightened. I thought I didn't check carefully and let Kong Sizhen lead the thunder to blow up Emperor Mazi.
Seeing that the emperor was okay and that Kong Sizhen didn't explode, Duolong walked out backwards and continued to show the emperor the door.
In the Wuying Hall, a group of bachelors who had just been awarded the title of Minister of the South Study were lying on the ground without daring to raise their heads. Only Kong Sizhen knelt straight on Zhang's soft futon. He did not apologize, but smiled and said to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... why are you angry? President Wu said that he would fight in the battle of Anqing Isn't it a good thing to just wait and see what happens before deciding the winner? Your Majesty, you can now concentrate on fighting with the man named Zhu in Anqing! Your Majesty, you don't think you can't beat Zhu Heji in Anqing, right?"
"How can it be impossible to defeat?" Kangxi's face was pockmarked and livid, "My new Eight Banners Army has 200,000 soldiers, strong soldiers and horses, and well-equipped armor... If Zhu Heji does not come to invade Anqing, when the autumn weather is clear, I will I will personally lead the army to regain Jiangxi!"
Kangxi was not bragging, he really had a plan to use his army to regain Jiangxi - although he had never been to Jiangxi, he left his "head" in Jiangxi! He has to go and get it back, otherwise he won't be able to stiffen up!
Not to mention anything else, he didn't dare to kill Huang Zongxi until now, and let him enjoy the luxury in the mansion in Wuyi Lane.
Is it possible to put this matter aside before he is "beheaded" by Zhu Heji? impossible!
Killed all ten Huang Zongxi!
But now, every time Kangxi wanted to kill Huang Zongxi, he would have many worries in his heart. He was afraid that after killing Huang Zongxi, there would be chaos in Jiangnan, and Zhu Heji would take the opportunity to invade and kill him!
The matter of being "decapitated" by Zhu Heji has now become a heartache for him. If it is not cured, a generation of "holy masters" may really become the Qingshun sect.
"But Wu Sangui won't deceive me?" Emperor Kangxi said with a gloomy face, "He and Zhu Heji published the "Book to the Heroes of the World" and "The Pursuit of the Qing Dynasty"... who was the first to enter Beijing? Weijun! Doesn’t he want to break into Beijing before Zhu Heji?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty," Kong Sizhen said with a smile, "President Wu feels that the Battle of Anqing will still be fought. So he has made two preparations. If the Emperor wins in Anqing, then he will personally lead the army eastward along the Yangtze River... ..”
"Going east to attack Jiangxi?" Emperor Kangxi asked hurriedly.
"Fight Anqing and go to Jiangnan!" Kong Sizhen said.
"Old thief!" Kangxi was furious.
Kong Sizhen said with a smile: "If...if the emperor is defeated, he will send his army north to capture the Central Plains and enter Beijing."
"I can't be defeated!" Kangxi roared, but then his pockmarked face returned to calm, and he looked at Kong Sizhen coldly, "Gege, these words you said were all what Wu Yingxiong asked you to say?"
Kong Sizhen said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are really good at predicting events. These words were indeed spoken by Wu Yingxiong's slave...but I am determined not to be wrong."
"I know!" Kangxi looked at Kong Sizhen, "Tell me the truth, where are you now?"
Kong Sizhen said with a smile: "You are the enemy of the Zhu family, and Wu Yingxiong is also the enemy of the Zhu family!"
"I got it!" Kangxi turned around and said to Mr. Gui, who was still kneeling on the ground, "Xiao Guizi, please send Gege out of the city!"
"嗻!"
Young Guizi's father-in-law quickly stood up, bowed to Kong Sizhen, and whispered: "Gege, please."
Kong Sizhen stood up, paid a blessing ceremony to Kangxi, then turned around and followed Xiao Guizi to leave the Wuying Hall of the Forbidden City in Nanjing.
Seeing Kong Sizhen walking out, Emperor Kangxi sighed and said: "Okay, don't lie down on the ground... I still want to discuss things with you! Come here and help me hold the table up."
"嗻......"
After a sound of response, the discussion in Wuying Hall began again.
Emperor Kangxi asked: "What do you think? Is that old thief Wu Sangui really planning to watch the fun this time?"
"Your Majesty," Zhuo Butai said, "based on my servant's understanding of Wu Sangui, I'm afraid he will really make Zhu Heji and us both suffer losses this time."
Tu Hai also said: "Your Majesty, there is no reason for Wu Sangui to help Zhu Heji fight with us...after all, these three points will eventually be unified!"
Emperor Kangxi frowned. valley
He was a little afraid of hearing the words "three points to be unified", because he knew that even if he tried his best to win the Battle of Anqing, he would definitely suffer heavy losses. I'm afraid I'm not optimistic about whether I can withstand Wu Sangui's second wave!
This "three points unified into one" is probably either Ming or Zhou!
"Can Anqing win?" Kangxi asked again.
"able!"
"The chances of winning are great!"
"Your Majesty, this servant also thinks he can win!"
"Your Majesty, we will definitely win this time!"
It was rare for the four most capable ministers of Nan Shufang, including Tu Hai, Zhuo Butai, Wang Fuchen and Ba Hai, to give unanimous opinions.
"Talk about it." Kangxi also became more enthusiastic.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, there are three things that must be won in the Anqing battle. One is the terrain! The terrain of Anqing has the two characteristics of being easy to defend and difficult to attack and conducive to the movement of the cavalry. It is extremely easy for our army to defend Anqing and assist Anqing.
Second, the navy must win! The Battle of Anqing must be a land and water battle. The Puppet Ming must win both on land and water, but the Puppet Ming navy is ultimately not as good as ours. Our navy has many large ships and artillery, and the sailors are also well-trained. They were trained by Shi Lang himself, and they are definitely better than the fake sailors.
Third, numbers will win! This time the court can use the navy of the Dutch East India Company to accept the court's employment and help us defend Ningbo Haikou, so the court can mobilize the entire Eight Banners New Army for the Battle of Anqing... So we will definitely win! "
Definitely win again!
Kangxi also heard someone say the same thing last time...
"Okay!" Emperor Kangxi nodded solemnly, "This time I still want to lead the expedition in person... I will personally go to the Chuzhou front line to supervise the battle!"
Well, Zhu Heji attacked Anqing Prefecture, Kangxi was in Chuzhou... and there was Luzhou Prefecture in between!
If he loses his head again, then Zhu Heyi must have "cultivated immortality" - he can use flying swords!
Kangxi paused and asked, "Who will go to Anqing Mansion to defend the city?"
"My slave is willing to go!" Zhuo Butai immediately asked, "My slave is willing to live and die with Anqing!"
"Okay!" Kangxi said, "Where are the reinforcements?"
"Returning to the emperor," Zhuo Butai said, "the reinforcements on land will be placed in Luzhou, and the reinforcements on the water will be placed in Guichi."
"How many troops will be used?"
Zhuo Butai replied: "In a battle that will overwhelm the country, we should use the troops that will overwhelm the country...the more the better!"
"Okay!" Kangxi gritted his teeth, "I will raise an army that will overwhelm the country and fight with Zhu Heji in Anqing!"
...
"Your Majesty, Wu Sangui is indeed a veteran who has served in the military all his life... The words he said hit the point!"
Nanchang, Jianguo Mansion (formerly Prince Ning's Mansion), Cunxin Hall.
Zhuge Sanhe, who stayed in Nanchang and was busy with a lot of things in the Military Advisor's Mansion, had just listened to Zhu Heji's wholesale account of the Anqing Battle from Wu Sangui, and immediately expressed his agreement.
I can’t accept it!
Wu Sangui's military command ability is still much stronger than that of Zhu Heji, Zhuge San and others... Although Zhu Heji may defeat Wu Sangui with his advantage in "magic".
Zhu Heji asked Zhuge Sanhe: "Commander, how do you want to fight?"
"You can't rush, you can only fight slowly." Zhuge Sanhe looked at a map on the conference table, "There are many strongholds outside Anqing, and they have to be removed one by one, and then set up defense lines to block reinforcements, and finally besiege the city. Attack the city and fight off the reinforcements from the Qingyao at the same time... This is actually no problem, but the outcome of the Anqing battle cannot only depend on the land, but also depends on the outcome on the water!"
