"Long live my lord, one Wang Fuchen may not be enough!"
Xiong Cilu, who had been promoted to the bachelor of Wuyingdian Palace and succeeded Mingzhu as the chief Confucian leader, also went to Kangxi to make a speech.
He had been staying in Tongzhou to "assist" the Holy Duke Kong Yuqi. It was only because Kangxi saw that the "Battle of Chibi" was about to be fought in Huguang that he remembered that Xiong Cilu would "talk about the Three Kingdoms", so he called him to Xi'an. .
"Why is it not enough?" Emperor Kangxi frowned, "Now the rebels in Liaodong have just taken Bisha City and surrounded Deliying City. The Dustpan Village has not yet called the police, so it should be fine within a year. A year later, Huguang's The winner will be decided in the battle of Chibi.”
"Long live my lord, if the Huguang battlefield is still stalemate in a year and the heavenly soldiers are unable to escape and march eastward, what should I do?" Xiong Cilu said worriedly, "Long live my lord, I have a message, I don't know whether I should say it or not?"
Kangxi said: "Xiong Cilu, do you think I am a foolish king who cannot listen to offensive words? If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it. I forgive you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiong Cilu kowtowed quickly, "I wonder if Your Majesty has noticed that the situation facing the Qing Dynasty now is somewhat similar to that of the Ming Dynasty in the Chongzhen year!"
"shut up!"
"Xiong Cilu, don't talk nonsense!"
Tuhai and Suo'etu became anxious when they heard that Xiong Cilu was telling the truth.
Kangxi waved his hand: "Let him speak!"
Xiong Cilu said: "Your Majesty, the reason why Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was defeated was because there was the Qing Dynasty outside, rogues inside, and a group of shameless scholars who controlled the countryside and tried every means to evade taxes and service. And we, the Qing Dynasty, Now that there is chaos in Liaodong and Korea in the east, and the southwest is about to participate in the Huguang War, the country sages below are also..."
When Kangxi heard this, his pockmarked face turned black.
He was obviously a hundred times more capable and wiser than Chongzhen, so why did he end up on the same level as Chongzhen? No, it seems not as good as Chongzhen. . When Chongzhen arrived at Jingshan, the Ming Dynasty still had the land of wealth in Southern Zhili! Now the Qing Dynasty looks quite big from the map, but it is basically a bad land. What about Mobei, Monan, Modong, Moxi, Xueyu... Just by looking at the names, you know that there is not much oil and water to squeeze out.
Chongzhen was guarding a cornucopia and begging for food, but Kangxi has now lost the cornucopia!
Kang Mazi's heart aches when he thinks of Jiangnan.
However, no matter how painful his heart was, Kang Mazi was not willing to lie down and die. As the Mingjun Holy Master, he had to struggle a few times.
Thinking of this, his pockmarked face gradually calmed down... He couldn't be like Chongzhen who would get angry and kill ministers at every turn, causing everyone in the court to be in danger and no one who could take care of the trouble would be left.
"As long as the battle of Huguang can be won!" Kangxi paused, "As long as the battle can continue, I have nothing to worry about..."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty." Xiong Cilu kowtowed, "I was worried that Zhu Heji would not be able to win the game in Huguang, so I placed a heavy bet on Liaodong to start another game. Moreover, I thought this group of horse bandits was very strange. They actually You can defeat the cavalry of the Mongolian Zasak Banner. These are not ordinary horse bandits, could they be Wu Yingqi and Burni?"
Kangxi's pockmarked face turned dark again - it was almost like a Sichuan Opera face-changing!
This is what he is most worried about now. Ordinary horse bandits are no big deal, but Wu Yingqi and Burni's men are no less elite than the Eight Banners cavalry. They are about to arrive in Liaodong, and the Ming army in Liaodong and North Korea will soon be in the northeast. The ability to conduct maneuver operations in the hinterland.
And Burni also has the name of the Great Khan of Mongolia!
He still has considerable appeal to the Mongolians on the grassland. If the Ming Dynasty marches under the banner of Burni, there will definitely be some Mongolians who will join the Ming Dynasty to lead the way... and even provide food to the Ming Dynasty. military!
By then, the Ming army in Liaodong might really be able to reach outside Shanhaiguan!
This is so much fun... The Ming army entered the Pass and attacked the Qing Dynasty!
Seeing that Kangxi's face changed again, Xiong Cilu hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Your Majesty, Wang Fuchen only has 10,000 men... If the puppet Ming Dynasty sends 100,000 troops from Liaodong and North Korea to seize Shanhaiguan, how can Wang Fuchen resist? If Shanhaiguan If we lose, can Huguang continue to fight?"
Kangxi's heart skipped a beat!
He is so difficult!
Things haven't started yet here in Huguang, but things are going to happen again in that corner of the Northeast.
Moreover, Huguang is thousands of miles away from the northeast. It is impossible for Huguang's army to march to the northeast... By the time they arrived, the grass on Wang Fuchen's grave was taller than a person.
And if Shanhaiguan was broken by the Ming army, then the Battle of Huguang would not be fought. Your hometown has been confiscated, but you still have the heart to help Wu Yingxiong?
As soon as the Qing Dynasty withdrew, Wu Yingxiong would definitely run to Yunnan! By then, Zhu Heji would have captured Huguang, and then he could directly march into Henan, hit Zhili, and launch a north-south pincer attack with the Ming army outside the pass.
The Qing Dynasty...is about to end!
Kangxi frowned and said to himself: "But where can I find another elite soldier to help Wang Fuchen?"
Yes, where are the soldiers?
Kangxi had a total of 240,000 New Eight Banners in his hands.
Now they have all been mobilized, including 30,000 Bahai, who can barely maintain the situation in Shengjing.
Wang Fuchen had 10,000 yuan in hand, all of which were transferred to guard Shanhaiguan.
Chang Ning led 30,000 people to maintain a large area from Shandong to Xuzhou. The military strength was so tight that he asked Kangxi for help every day.
The grasslands in Beijing, Datong, Kukuhetun, and Bashang cannot be left empty. They have set up a solid mountain, which is 10,000 people, and the total is 40,000.
The above is 110,000. Of the remaining 130,000, Kangxi planned to keep 10,000 with him and use the rest on the Huguang battlefield.
Hearing Kangxi's question, Xiong Cilu said something else: "Your Majesty, I have an expedient plan to recruit some troops for your Majesty."
As soon as Kangxi heard this, he immediately looked up at Xiong Cilu.
Xiong Cilu said: "I suggest that the scholars and local sages below should contribute money and effort to organize a large-scale group training..."
"That's it?" Kangxi frowned. He had already suffered from group training before.
When the Ming army reached Jiangnan, the Jiangnan regiment did nothing except surrender! As a result, Zhu Heji came to take over Jiangnan!
Xiong Cilu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, things are different now... We in the Qing Dynasty now have Confucian assistants. If the Holy Duke can come forward and go to Shandong to call on local sages and Confucian disciples to join the army, One hundred thousand people can be obtained in ten months!"
When Kangxi heard this, his brows tightened again.
Does the Holy Duke Kong Yuqi now have such appeal? Is it really possible for the Holy Duke to return to his residence, call out, and have more than a hundred thousand people jump up and follow him?
Thinking of this, Kangxi frowned and said: "The Holy Duke can recruit at most strong men from Shandong, but where does this food and salary come from? How to raise equipment?"
Xiong Cilu said: "The emperor can appoint Sheng Gong or a big boss under Sheng Gong as the governor of Shandong, and then ask him to raise his own money."
This is asking Confucianism to collect money, recruit soldiers, and build an army by itself!
Seeing Kangxi's silence, Xiong Cilu said again: "Your Majesty, as long as the Holy Duke is sent to Shandong, and a big boss is appointed as the governor of Shandong... the 30,000 elite soldiers in Prince Gong's hands will immediately be It can be revitalized. In half a year at most, Shandong can send tens of thousands of young men to Wang Fuchen, and can also pay for their food and salary expenses."
Kangxi was a little moved now.
If Chang Ning's 30,000 people arrived at the Huguang battlefield, then the Qing Dynasty could invest 150,000 people in Huguang. Wu Yingxiong was about to perish, and he could even make up this number by selling iron.
That's 300,000 versus 300,000... some fight!
Just as he was thinking about it, Duolong, the minister in charge of the bodyguard, had already walked in with a fire-lacquered document and said: "The urgent military information that Fancheng just handed over."
"Bring it here!" Kangxi reached out and took the fire-lacquered document. After opening it, he looked at it and said in a low tone: "Xiong Cilu's suggestion sounds good. Let's put it together and get a charter as soon as possible. come out!"
The ministers below were a little dumbfounded when they heard this. Tu Hai was the first to kneel down and wanted to dissuade him, but saw Kangxi raising his arms, "Don't remonstrate... Zhu Heji has already stationed in Chibi Mountain and is approaching Yuezhou City." The Qing Dynasty will survive. In this battle, I must do everything possible to concentrate my strength. Not only the power of Confucianism must be fully used, but also the power of Mongolia! I must not be the Chongzhen of the Qing Dynasty!"
