Bumbutai asked Kong Sizhen to sit down, and Kong Sizhen was not polite. He smiled and sat comfortably on a chair that was carried in by two eunuchs.
Bumubutai looked at Kong Sizhen, who was already in his forties but still had some charm and maintained a good figure. He nodded and said: "Sizhen, you are destined to be a prosperous husband! If Sun Yanling hadn't married you , where is the general of Guangxi? Where can the current duke be? If Wu Yingxiong hadn't had your help, he would have lost his position as the heir apparent. How could he be the emperor now? My son is really blind, why won't he accept it? Where are you as a concubine? If he accepts you, he will definitely still be in power now, and the Qing Dynasty will definitely not be like this."
"The Empress Dowager," Kong Sizhen shook his head gently, "you have underestimated Zhu Heji. This person... is almost a monster! Even the late emperor is not his opponent, but the current emperor of the Qing Dynasty has been working hard to deal with it. , performed admirably. It’s just that Zhu Heji is too strong. To control him, the Qing Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty must join forces!"
"Really?" Bumbutai pretended to be surprised and looked back at Chang Ning, "Is she right?"
Chang Ning nodded and said: "Concubine Kong is right... Zhu Heji is a thief who is almost a monster. He is indeed a powerful enemy that the Qing Dynasty has never encountered since Taizu raised his army and founded the country!"
It turns out that both the Qing Dynasty and Wu Zhou had already announced that Zhu Heji was a "cheating" opponent!
Bu Mu Butai turned back to look at Kong Sizhen, "Then how will your Emperor Zhou plan to join forces with the Qing Dynasty to deal with this monster Zhu Heji?"
Kong Sizhen smiled and said: "Emperor Zhou is preparing to launch a five-pronged attack on the Qing Dynasty!"
"What? A five-pronged attack?" Chang Ning almost jumped up, but Bumbutai glared at him and glared back his anger.
"What about the five routes?" Bumbutai asked, "Can you tell me about it?"
Kong Sizhen said: "I came all the way here just to talk about this?"
"Then let's talk." Bumu Butai stared at Kong Sizhen with his small eyes.
Kong Sizhen said: "Burni, the Great Khan of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, was the first way to send troops to the grassland; King Yan of the Great Zhou Dynasty either left northern Shaanxi or Shanxi was the second way; the Emperor of Zhou personally sent troops to Henan was the third way; Zhu Ming sent troops from Huaihe River The northeastern expedition to the Central Plains is the fourth route; the Ming army in Korea and Liaodong is the fifth route."
Bumbutai narrowed his eyes: "Have we agreed? Can these five armies really come out?"
Kong Sizhen smiled and said: "The Great Khan of Burni, King Yan of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Emperor of Zhou should be able to send troops... As for Zhu Ming's North Korea and Liaodong Road, they have already sent troops. The only doubt is that Will there be a Ming army in the Northern Expedition in Huaidong?"
"I wonder how many troops King Yan and the Emperor of Zhou are planning to send?" Aunt Bumubutai continued to inquire. .
"The King of Yan of the Great Zhou Dynasty had an army of fifty thousand to sixty thousand, and the Emperor of Zhou had an army of more than one hundred thousand," Kong Sizhen said. "As for how many I can produce, I don't know who I am."
Bumbutai nodded and said with a smile: "I understand, Sizhen... your princess mansion is still reserved for you. You can stay there for a while. When the emperor comes back from North Korea, I will let him Is it okay to summon you once and then go back after you finish talking to him?"
"Everyone obeys the orders of the Queen Mother."
Bumbutai then said to Aunt Su Ma beside him: "Suma, take Concubine Kong back home for me."
"yes."
Aunt Sumala responded, and Kong Sizhen also stood up and gave a blessing ceremony to Bumbutai, and then the two of them left Cining Palace together.
When the old lady saw Kong Sizhen leaving, she sighed softly and said to Chang Ning beside her: "Chang Ning, you have worked hard... Please come back quickly, our Qing Dynasty is going to be in disaster!"
"Grandma Imperial, do you really believe that Wu Yingxiong can mobilize these five armies?"
The old lady shook her head, "I don't know where to go? But you always have to prepare for the worst!"
Chang Ning saw the worry on the old lady's face and felt that the matter was a bit serious. He immediately said to the old lady, "My grandson knows, and he will leave tomorrow!"
...
"The five-pronged army? Can it really be mobilized?"
In the mansion of General Pingxi in Xi'an, Wu Yingqi, who was also General Pingxi of the Qing Dynasty, General Pingxi of the Ming Dynasty, and had just become King Yan of the Zhou Dynasty, was having a secret conversation with Shang Zhixin and Hu Guozhu in the three halls.
Accompanying him were Wu Guogui, Ma Bao, Liu Xuanchu, Wu Shicong and others.
Shang Zhixin and Hu Guozhu not only brought Wu Yingqi and Wu Shicong the imperial edict to make them kings, but also brought a five-way plan to conquer the Qing Dynasty that sounded promising.
It was the plan that Kong Sizhen told Bumubutai and Chang Ning... If this plan were to be implemented, even if Kangxi had three heads and six arms, he would probably have no choice but to run away to Shengjing and become the Qing Shun Emperor.
But the question is, can it move?
"There is no problem with Genghis God Bless Khan," Shang Zhixin said. "The Great Khan had a battle with Danjin Boshu Ketu Khan (Galdan) of the Junggar tribe in Khovd last year, and it was difficult to decide the outcome. Afterwards, Genghis Khan asked Jebzundamba to mediate. After talking for some days, Tenzin Boshu Ketu Khan agreed because he had received the order from the great lama to deal with the Yerqiang Khanate. Negotiate peace, and it is estimated that there will be no more trouble within a few years.
Moreover, the emperor also gave him a batch of muskets and gunpowder... God Blessed Khan will definitely take the opportunity to send troops in order to unify Mongolia in southern Mongolia and northern Mobei. "
It turns out that Galdan and his teacher, the Great Lama Xueyu, met a very interesting thing last year. A Kho Zhuo of the Baishan Sect of the Tianfang Sect of the Yerqiang Khanate, named Xida Yetula, was involved in a sectarian struggle. After failing, he actually ran to ask the Great Lama of the Snowy Land to help him fight the "War of Gods"...
And the current Great Lama of the Snowy Region is a master who can do anything, and of course he will not let go of this opportunity to expand his sphere of influence. So he gave the order to the good student Galdan to temporarily make peace with Genghis Tianyou Khan, and then send troops to the Yeerqiang Khanate to help the Baishan faction seize power, and then take the opportunity to destroy the Yeerqiang Khanate!
It just so happened that the Junggar tribe had been continuously invading the Yeerqiang Khanate since the previous generation of Hutaiji Sengge, and they had great intentions of swallowing up the Yeerqiang Khanate.
So Galdan stopped the war with Burni, which had little to gain, and turned his gun to pinch the soft persimmons of the Yerqiang Khanate.
Although Burni did not defeat Galdan in the Battle of Khovd, his rule over Mobei Mongolia was strengthened and his strength was greatly enhanced because Galdan took the initiative and retreated.
At this time, Burni learned the news that Kangxi had suffered successive setbacks in Korea and Liaodong, and he naturally aroused his ambition to unify Mongolia in southern Mongolia and northern Mobei.
So as long as Wu Yingxiong can give him a batch of muskets and gunpowder, he will definitely join the five-way battle to defeat the Qing Dynasty!
"The Emperor has no problems along the way." Hu Guozhu said, "The Emperor has assembled an army of 80,000 in Xiangjing and can expedition to the north at any time to the Central Plains!"
While Wu Yingqi listened to Shang Zhixin and Hu Guozhu's answers, he was making calculations in his heart.
Burni Khan claimed to have 100,000 households and could dispatch an army of 100,000 people. In fact, of course there are not that many, but 50,000 Mongolian cavalry can still be pulled out.
It is impossible to dispatch all the 80,000 people Wu Yingxiong has assembled in Xiangjing. It should be no problem to send out 60,000 people.
Wu Yingqi himself has an army of 50,000 to 60,000, so there is no problem in sending 40,000 troops.
Fifty thousand plus sixty thousand plus forty thousand means a total of 150,000 troops!
Although the army of 150,000 was quite a lot, Kangxi's Eight Banners New Army claimed to have 240,000, which was 90,000 more!
Therefore, the key to the victory or defeat of this five-pronged expedition lies in the Ming Dynasty!
Thinking of this, Wu Yingqi asked: "What does Da Ming mean?"
Hu Guozhu said with a smile: "The Ming Dynasty is already fighting the Qing rebels. It has opened three areas in Korea, Liaodong, and Dengzhou, and has at least contained Kangxi's 150,000 troops! Huaidong has always been the focus of the Qing army's defense. May or Six Ten thousand people always have to be deployed. The New Eight Banners of the Qing Army is called 240,000, and there are 60,000 green battalions. Even if the entire army is dispatched, there will only be 300,000... 200,000 of which have been contained by the Ming Dynasty. Can we still stop the fifteen armies of Zhou and Yuan with less than 100,000 people left?"
