Hearing Zhou Peigong's words, everyone in the tent felt their hearts skip a beat!
This Zhou Peigong's strategy seemed pretty good before it was implemented. If you do the math on your fingers, you can see that it was all for the Qing Dynasty. But I don’t know what happened. In the end, these strategies ended up losing both the wife and the army. Half of the Qing Dynasty was almost wiped out!
Therefore, many people privately called Zhou Peigong "Zhou Qiu Guang"... The Qing Dynasty almost lost everything after listening to his words.
But when everyone wanted to hold "Zhou Qiuguang" responsible, they chased after each other, but found that "Zhou Qiuguang's" strategies seemed to be the best. If you listen to him, you'll pay less. If you don't, you'll definitely have to pay more. Therefore, this "Zhou Qiguang" still has merits and demerits, and cannot be killed with one blow.
But everyone still didn't want "Zhou Qiuguang" to offer any more suggestions, so several ministers from the Southern Study Room secretly gathered together and recommended to Emperor Kangxi that "Zhou Qiuguang" should be the salt transport envoy for the Huaihe and Huaidu capitals. . This is a very fat guy. This "Zhou Qiuguang" will definitely take office happily.
Unexpectedly, just a few days after Kangxi nodded, the Ming army took action in Jiangbei. Although they only sent troops to Huaixi at the beginning, they still frightened Emperor Kangxi. He quickly ordered Shi Lang and Fu Honglie to send troops to Yangzhou and Huai'an, and tie up the Great Salt Mountain there... No, they invited them to be slaves in Beijing!
While the big salt merchants in Yangzhou and Huai'an brought all their property to Beijing to work as slaves in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Huaidong naturally gave up - there was so much silver, grain, salt and other various property and materials. If you want to move north, why don't Shi Lang and Fu Honglie lead troops to protect them? What if I ran away halfway?
As soon as Shi Lang's and Fu Honglie's armies left, the Ming army arrived on the rear. As soon as the Ming army arrived, "Zhou Qiuguang" naturally could not go to Yangzhou to take office. Therefore, he, the salt transport envoy from the Huaihe River, could only continue to walk in the south study room... just let him "walk", not let him speak.
"Zhou Qiguang" himself also felt left out, so he remained indifferent during this period and did not offer any advice. Until the Battle of Chahar ended with the "victory" of the Qing army, they did not offer any more advice.
But today when he heard that Xiong Cilu proposed the plan of "protecting Confucianism and the Qing Dynasty", he really couldn't help it. The hero has the same idea. He has actually been thinking about using Yan Shenggong as a puppet to organize the Confucian Party to oppose the Confucian Grand Scholars Conference in the Ming Dynasty. He even planned to use Confucianism to The party members went to incite the Confucian scholars in the Ming Dynasty to oppose the equalization of land and the original Confucianism...
Emperor Kangxi was also a little numb, but he still resisted the idea of having "Zhou Qiuguang" kicked out - a wise king should be good at accepting advice. At most, he would not accept anything "Zhou Qiuguang" said. , this way you should not “lose everything” again.
Having made up his mind, Kangxi finally had the courage to ask: "Zhou Peigong...do you have another plan? Then let's talk about it."
Just listen to it, never adopt it!
Zhou Peigong was a little moved after hearing Kangxi's words. He kowtowed to the ground and said loudly: "Long live, now is the critical moment for the pseudo-Ming to implement the method of equalizing land and harming the people. We must find ways to destroy it, otherwise once the pseudo-Ming is allowed to After passing the level of Juntian, the next step is to become a soldier. Juntian soldiers are bound together.
In the past, when the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui and Tang Dynasties implemented the method of equalizing the army of the Tianfu, they could send one soldier to every six households, and Fake Ming should be able to do the same. Now under the pseudo-Meiji rule, the common people cannot support four million households. If every six households sends an army, there will be an army of six to seven hundred thousand, with each carrying a flintlock rifle, a hammer throwing sugar pills, and a rocket cannon... ..How can the Qing Dynasty stop it? "
Having said this, Zhou Peigong was already in tears... This is urgent!
In his opinion, Zhu and Xihua put so much effort into equalizing land just to implement the government-army system after the equalizing system was implemented, and then "violently" sent in a wave of six to seven million troops to overthrow the Qing Dynasty.
Kangxi took a breath and leaned forward suddenly, "Go on!"
"Yes," Zhou Peigong continued, "I just heard Long Live Master say that if one or two powerful men from Jiangnan rise up... this is very likely to happen! But we can't just wait, we have to Take action. The slave suggested using the banner of Yan Shenggong to mobilize the powerful gentry in the south of the Yangtze River and use various methods to resist the equalization of land. They could even send capable and loyal officials from the south of the Yangtze River to disguise themselves and sneak back to their place of origin under the guise of Instigating an uprising against the Ming Dynasty in the name of the Holy Emissary!"
This strategy seems to be very good, and no matter whether the uprising succeeds or not, it will not cause losses to the Qing Dynasty. Kangxi couldn't help but nodded in approval, but he immediately remembered that Duke Yansheng was just an ordinary young man, and his mansion was just a place to hang out. How could he incite rebellion?
If Yan Shenggong's Mansion really had this ability... it would have been exterminated!
Thinking of this, Kangxi lowered his head and sighed, and said: "Zhou Peigong, what you say makes sense. But...how can Duke Yansheng's Mansion do such a thing?"
"Long live my lord, of course Yan Shenggong's Mansion cannot incite rebellion, but the imperial court can use the name of Yan Shenggong's Mansion to incite and plan the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River to rebel against the equalization of land."
Kangxi felt that this made sense, but he also vaguely felt that something was wrong. After thinking for a while, he finally thought of a question, "But no one in the court knows how to incite rebellion, right?"
As he spoke, he glanced around the tent, and everyone he saw was shaking his head - no way!
Everyone is a good slave. They can only be slaves and will not rebel!
Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief and thought: "Since no one will rebel, then Zhou Peigong's strategy will be useless."
"Long live my lord, I have a solution!"
Before Kangxi had time to announce that he would not adopt Zhou Peigong's strategy, Zhou Peigong's method had already come.
"The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple contain many files on counter-cases of the White Lotus Sect that have been uncovered over the years, including counter-cases of previous dynasties. We can take some for reference, see what the White Lotus Sect does, and then follow their lead. The method turns Yanshenggong's Mansion into a yamen capable of inciting rebellion. Of course, after this change, Yanshenggong's Mansion must be firmly controlled by the court!"
"Hahaha, Zhou Peigong, your strategy this time is much better than before!"
Kangxi jumped up, walked around Zhou Peigong who was kneeling on the ground, and said again: "Zhou Peigong, you can't just give advice and not do things... I will give you the title of imperial envoy now, and let you do it exclusively. It’s about Duke Yansheng’s Mansion!” He paused, then turned his attention to the few people walking in the south study room who were also huddled in the corner, “Huang Zhisheng, Li Guangdi, Zhang Ying!”
The three named Nanshu had no choice but to walk out and kneel in front of Emperor Kangxi.
Kangxi said: "The three of you assist Zhou Peigong and go together to deal with Yan Shenggong... Zhou Peigong, Huang Zhisheng, Li Guangdi, Zhang Ying, don't waste time on the grassland, go back and pack up, and set off tomorrow After returning to Beijing, I first went to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to check the files. After I found out how the White Lotus Sect rebelled, I came up with a way to reform Yan Shenggong's Mansion and sent it to me on a six-hundred-mile rush.
In addition, one of you should go to Qufu, Shandong Province, and invite Kong Yuqi, the Duke of Yansheng, to come to Beijing! "
This is a sudden disaster!
Huang Zhisheng, Zhang Ying, and Li Guangdi all glared at Zhou Peigong, not to mention hating them. They were walking in the south study room well, but now they have become "Queen's rebels". Although it is "for imperial use", who knows if you use it, Kang Mazi will become suspicious, and will he really regard you as a traitor?
A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of having a jade! What's more, is it even possible for a slave to master the key to rebellion?
But Emperor Kangxi asked them to learn to be rebels, but they did not dare to disobey the decree. If they resisted, they would be beheaded! So a few people had no choice but to bite the bullet and take over the job...
