This series of orders issued by Kangxi were actually arranging the general retreat!
Although he has not lost all the chips in his hand and still has the power to gamble, he knows that he cannot afford to lose... If he suffers a big defeat in Nanyang and Xinye, then he is not the one to win. Instead of Emperor Shun of the Qing Dynasty, he will become Chongzhen of the Qing Dynasty!
In addition, he and Zhu Heji have different definitions of "losing". Even if he can achieve a one-to-one exchange ratio between Xinye and Nanyang, as long as the absolute number of losses is too great, he still has to Qing Chongzhen!
So after he found that his chances of winning were almost lost, he had no choice but to admit his losses and get out...and he had to leave the game in time. Because his troops would be defeated if they moved faster, and although the losses would not be too small, they would still be bearable. If he walked slower and was surrounded, he would not be Emperor Shun of the Qing Dynasty.
Just thinking about it makes me vomit blood!
Kangxi originally looked down on Emperor Yuan Shun, but now he is better. He still has to work hard to become Emperor Shun of Qing... and he has to work hard!
Because most of the "New Eight Banners" still hold "Beijing Hukou" and have divided Zhuangzi around Beijing.
And if he wants to be Emperor Shun of the Qing Dynasty, he must at least ask people to change their "Beijing household registration" to "Inner Mongolia household registration"... Will his subordinates be willing?
If no one below is willing...then the "Jingshan Dream" will come true!
When he thought of going to Jingshan, Emperor Kangxi spat out another mouthful of blood, and then he fainted and fell unconscious.
And when Emperor Kangxi regained consciousness again, he found himself lying in a swaying carriage... His already fragile heart suddenly tightened - he couldn't be in a prison carriage, right?
If this falls into the hands of Zhuge Yaodao, it would be better to be Chongzhen of the Qing Dynasty!
Thinking of this, he squinted his eyes and found that he was lying in an ordinary carriage - not a prison car.
Kangxi, who was a little relieved, felt a strong sense of hunger again and was very uncomfortable... He had no experience of starvation in his life. So he immediately hummed: "Xiao Guizi, pass the meal..."
Also pass on the meal!
Very particular. I don’t know if I want to have a Manchu-Han banquet?
"Long live my lord, you finally woke up. I was so anxious..." Xiao Guizi's cry came to mind immediately. .
Only then did Kangxi realize that he was squeezed into a carriage with this loyal eunuch!
"Pass the meal..."
I’m still thinking about passing on the meal!
"Here, the meal is here!" Little Guizi's father-in-law had already prepared the "imperial meal" for Kangxi - a large bag of white flour steamed buns carefully prepared by Ouchi's imperial chef. It was still in stock last year (just two days ago last year). It became cold and hard.
"Your Majesty, this is all we have now..." Xiao Guizi carefully took out a very delicate yellow cloth bag. After opening it, there was a pack of cold steamed buns inside.
Kangxi picked up a steamed bun and pinched it. It was quite hard, but not very tasty. But he was really hungry, so he picked it up and took a bite regardless of whether it was hard or not.
Not to mention, although this steamed bun is a little hard, a little cold, a little dry, a little stiff...but it still tastes very good! It was the most delicious snack Kangxi had ever eaten in his life!
He devoured one and couldn't get enough of it, so he ate a few more. He was so anxious that he actually choked. Xiao Guizi hurriedly brought another wine flask, which contained royal wine mixed with water. However, Kangxi still had the feeling of nectar and jade liquid after drinking it.
After eating cold steamed buns and drinking wine mixed with water, the Qing Emperor finally regained his energy, so he asked: "Xiao Guizi, where are you now? How is the battle on the front line?"
Xiao Guizi shook her head, "Your Majesty, this servant doesn't know either... I only know how to serve the Emperor. Otherwise, I would ask someone to stop the donkey cart and then ask someone to find Duolong and Mingzhu. You can ask them." .”
"Donkey cart?" Kangxi frowned, "Am I riding in a donkey cart?"
"Yes," Xiao Guizi said, "at first it was a horse-drawn cart, but after a day of running the horses were exhausted, so we had to switch to a donkey-cart..."
Kangxi sighed: "I didn't expect that I would also escape in a donkey cart... Okay, let's call Duolong and Mingzhu over."
"嗻."
Xiao Guizi responded, immediately got out of the slowly moving donkey cart, and shouted loudly: "Stop... Mr. Ming, Mr. Da, the emperor is awake, and the emperor wants to see you!"
Emperor Kangxi, who had gained some strength after eating something, also moved, opened the donkey's curtain, leaned out half of his body, and looked out.
Kangxi discovered that it was snowing outside... It was a vast expanse of white, and many soldiers wearing yellow cotton armor were walking past on both sides of the donkey cart, all of them weak. But at least these people were carrying flintlock guns and large and small bags of luggage.
This showed that they could continue to retreat...Kangxi felt a little more at ease.
At this time, Duolong came over, supporting the limping Mingzhu. Mingzhu was wearing a leather robe and a fur hood on his head, which looked very warm. Duolong, on the other hand, was wearing cotton armor and a gun helmet.
Although this is a special period, these two servants have not forgotten the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers. When they saw half of Emperor Kangxi's body, they quickly knelt down and saluted.
"Get up, get up." Kangxi asked the two of them to get up, and asked them to come forward so that he could shrink into the donkey cart - there was a stove inside the donkey cart, which was warmer.
"How is the situation?" Kangxi asked.
"Your Majesty..." Duolong sighed, "The middle road of Zhenghuang Banner is fine. Although they were chased by the Ming army for a day and night and lost thousands of men, they retreated after it snowed."
"Then King Kang, Yue Le, Tong Guogang and others, Tuhai and others..." Kangxi looked at Duolong with a sad face, and his heart began to twitch again.
Duolong shook his head: "I don't know..."
Kangxi frowned and looked at Duolong and Mingzhu: "Did something else happen?"
Mingzhu said: "Your Majesty!"
And sage... Kangxi said in his heart: "Can't there be some good sage?"
Mingzhu took out an opened lacquer document and handed it to Kangxi, "Your Majesty, this is a report from Shanhaiguan Commander-in-Chief Wang Fuchen."
"Wang Fuchen?" Kangxi's voice trembled, "Did something happen at Shanhaiguan?"
"Your Majesty!"
Kangxi's heart tightened, and he thought to himself: "You're right again, am I a crow's mouth? I will never make random guesses again..."
"Your Majesty," Mingzhu saw that Kangxi did not reach out to take the document, so she simply said directly, "just when we were fighting Zhuge Yaodao, the rebel army of one hundred thousand soldiers marched from Liaodong to outside Shanhaiguan regardless of the severe cold. Got it!"
"Did you keep it?" Kangxi said something nice instead.
"No." Mingzhu shook her head, "There were too many rebels. Wang Fuchen only had more than ten thousand people... They couldn't defeat him at all. After defending for three days, Shanhaiguan fell. However, most of Wang Fuchen's troops were saved. , are now fighting and leaving, retreating to Beijing."
"Ming army, has the Ming army entered the pass?"
Mingzhu nodded: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming..."
Kangxi's eyes went dark again, and he almost fainted. He quickly waved his hand, "You guys should step back first, I'm tired..."
"嗻!"
"Your Majesty, please have a good rest..."
Seeing the two slaves retreating, Kangxi leaned in the donkey cart and thought in his mind: "Jieshu, Yue Le, and Tong Guogang will not all be wiped out. The losses will be certain, but most of the troops can still be saved. Now. It depends on Tu Hai... If he can defend Xiangyang after failing to break through, he may be able to delay Zhuge Yaodao for a few more days, so that I can gather my troops and defend Shanhaiguan!"
...
"Tuzhongtang, please surrender to the Ming Dynasty!"
"Yes, the hall in the picture, the Qing Dynasty is over!"
"Zhongtang in the picture, I am the Prince of Chengshun County of the Qing Dynasty. My surname is Aixinjueluo. I can surrender, let alone you? Besides, you jumped over the Han River in the past two days, which can be regarded as a complete crossing of the Qing Dynasty. You were loyal and didn’t drown, that’s God’s will!”
Just when Emperor Kangxi was hoping that Tu Hai could carry Zhuge's army for him for a while, Dong'e, Leerjin, and Mang Yitu entered Xiangyang together to persuade him to become "Tu Chengchou"... ...
