Guihua City, Yinfo Temple.
The great court meeting is still going on, and Kangxi Kang Mazi is still presiding over the court meeting.
After announcing that he had "abdicated himself" and gave up the throne to the prince Yinreng, who was only six years old and knew nothing, it was impossible for him to govern personally, and gave himself the title of "the regent", Kangxi Start talking about what the Qing Dynasty will do in the future!
"Although our Qing Dynasty is a bit broken and has lost most of the Central Plains, the Qing Dynasty owns not only the Central Plains, but also the lands under the jurisdiction of General Shengjing and General Ningguta in the northeast, as well as the land of Shaanxi and Gansu in the northwest. In addition, the Qing Dynasty owns the Central Plains. , I am still the Enhe Amgulang Khan of Great Mongolia, also known as Kangxi Khan! Although I am no longer the Kangxi Emperor, I still have to be the Kangxi Khan. Because my Great Khan of Mongolia was elected by the Kuritai Conference , was given by the Great Lama of Snowland..."
Kangxi's tone obviously became more serious. He was reminding the people below that his throne as the Great Khan of Mongolia could not be handed over - the source of his legal authority as the Great Khan of Mongolia was the theocratic authority of the Kuritai Conference and the Holy See of Snowland. It was decided that what he had was not a hereditary khan position, but an "elected khan". Therefore, he cannot "select a khan" and pass it on to his son, and it is impossible for the Kuritai Assembly to elect a six-year-old child to be the khan.
Kangxi added: "And the connection between Shaanxi and Gansu in the northwest and Shengjing and Ningguta in the northeast must be maintained through Monan, Mobei, and Mongolia in the east. If we lose Mongolia's territory, so big The Qing Dynasty was also divided into two parts, the east and the west... I am afraid that it will not be long before they are defeated by Zhu and Ji!
Therefore, the foundation of our survival in the Northern Qing Dynasty lies in firmly controlling Mongolia! "
Is it to firmly control Mongolia? Or...continue to support you, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty and Great Khan of Mongolia?
The people below all knew in their hearts that the Kangxi Emperor said he "abdicated himself because of his sins", but in fact he used his position as the Mongolian Khan to be firmly tied to the imperial power of the Northern Qing Dynasty.
Now the Northern Qing Dynasty cannot live without Mongolia, and to control Mongolia it cannot live without Kangxi Khan... So the New Eight Banners and Lu Yong of the Northern Qing Dynasty had to support Kangxi in controlling Mongolia.
This chain of "Kangxi - Mongolia - Beiqing" is really clever. One link after another, it firmly tied the New Eight Banners, Lu Yong and Kang Mazi together.
Kangxi's eyes flashed across the faces of the ministers below who showed submissive expressions again, and he felt indescribable pride in his heart - weren't these people all slaves at his own mercy? Even if he is not the Qing Emperor, handling them is still a piece of cake!
No, there are some that are not just side dishes!
Kong Shenggong, who has 60,000 troops, is no small piece of cake. He is still sitting there with a smile on his face, as if he is watching Kangxi's joke.
"Brother Holy Duke."
Kong Shenggong stood up with a smile and bowed to Kangxi, "What are your orders from the Supreme Emperor?"
Kangxi smiled and said: "After all, Guihua City is not a place to live for a long time... Where does the Holy Duke think it is a blessed place for me to establish a capital in the Northern Qing Dynasty and rest and recuperate?"
This is a really good question to ask Kong Shenggong. Several big Confucian leaders, except Huang Zhisheng who stayed in Shandong, all followed Kong Shenggong. On the way to retreat to Guihua City, these people were discussing where to build the capital - they were not sure that Kangxi would survive at that time, so they were already making preparations for Confucianism to take control of the Qing Dynasty, so they naturally had to consider moving the capital.
"The best policy is to move to Xingqing Mansion, the middle policy is to move to Jingzhao Mansion, and the worst policy is to move to Shengjing." Kong Shenggong immediately came up with the plan that best suited the interests of Confucianism.
The Xingqing Prefecture he mentioned was Ningxia Prefecture. When Xixia was the capital there, the name Xingqing Prefecture was used. The Qing Fan of the Ming Dynasty was also sealed there, so there was a ready-made royal palace in Xingqing Mansion City for use.
The agriculture around Xingqing Prefecture is relatively developed, with two major irrigation districts, Ningxia and Lingzhou, known as the South of the Yangtze River. Therefore, the land in Xingqing Prefecture is enough to support the 200,000 to 300,000 Qing people.
Moreover, Xingqing Prefecture is also close to the Hetao Grassland. There are three Mongolian pastures nearby: Alxa, Ordos, and Chahar. Among them, the Chahar Mongols once again became the direct Mongolia of the Qing emperor after they ran away from Burni. . Therefore, making Xingqingfu the capital would also help the Qing court control some Mongolian tribes.
In addition, Xingqingfu is also relatively close to the Snowy Region and the Western Region. The Great Lama, the Heshuote Mongolia, and the Zhungeer Mongolia who now control the Snowy and Western Regions have a good relationship with the Qing court. If the Qing Dynasty made Xingqing Mansion its capital, it would be easier for them to support it.
Finally, the Qing Dynasty, whose capital was Xingqing Prefecture, was also relatively easy to evolve into a local separatist regime similar to the Wu and Zhou regime. If one day Yinreng feels that he has no talent and virtue, and is not worthy of the throne, and gives up his throne to Kong Shenggong...
Emperor Kangxi nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Shenggong has the same idea as me... Xingqing Mansion is indeed a good place for the Qing Dynasty.
However, in my imagination, the future Qing court should have two capitals, Xingqing Mansion in Xijing and Fengtian Mansion in Shengjing... Of course I have to be in Xingqing Mansion. As for Shengjing, in addition to General Shengjing, I also plan to appoint a Shengjing to stay behind, and he and General Shengjing will be in charge of the overall situation. "
Kangxi specifically mentioned Shengjing for two reasons. One is that he really valued Shengjing. There are many New Eight Banners people in Shengjing, and there are four allies of the host Mongolia nearby... These are forces that Kangxi cannot give up.
The second reason is to appease the ministers and servants who want to move eastward to Shengjing - in the eyes of many old Manchus, it seems to be natural to return to their hometown after losing the Central Plains.
As for whether they could establish themselves in their hometown, they never considered it.
Although Kangxi led the Qing Dynasty into the Northern Qing Dynasty, he was still a wise king, so he knew that it would be impossible for the Qing Dynasty to gain a foothold in its hometown after losing the Central Plains.
The only way out for the Qing Dynasty...is to go north and west! Enter the "world" of the Mongols. Therefore, Kangxi's Great Khan's throne was too precious to the Manchus.
"The Supreme Emperor Shengming!"
Of course Kong Shenggong supported Kangxi.
Although his Confucianism can maintain some secret halls in Zhu Heji's Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to become a prominent school, so its power will definitely weaken. And he, a hypocritical Confucian saint who did not deserve the surname Kong, had no way of survival in the east and could only go west.
Kangxi received the support of the powerful Holy Duke, and of course his ministers did not dare to object, and they all shouted in unison.
But when Kangxi heard this, what they shouted was not "sage", but "live"...
Now that the three major problems have been solved, Kangxi is in a much better mood. Then he remembered a small problem again - that "fake Kangxi" always made people in the Central Plains mistakenly think that he had surrendered. It would not be a big deal if the Qing Dynasty was gone!
We have to find a way to clarify... We have to let people know that the Kangxi they caught is fake!
Thinking of this, Kangxi showed a sad expression, "Chang Ning suffered on my behalf...Although he was willing to die, I still have to find a way to save him. Do you have any good ideas? ?”
"Long live my Lord, my slave Pearl has a solution."
Mingzhu limped out of the shift with a cane and was about to kneel down to Kangxi.
"Mingzhu, you don't have to kneel down..." Kangxi looked at Mingzhu who was disabled by the board, and quickly waved his hand to tell him to stop kneeling, "You don't have to kneel down when you see me in the future."
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." Mingzhu was not polite and thanked him directly, "Your Majesty, my servant can go to Beijing or Nanjing to redeem Prince Gong."
"Redemption?" Kangxi frowned when he heard this idea, "But now the country is in dire straits and the court has no money!"
Mingzhu smiled and said: "The Emperor doesn't know something. This Prince Gong has a private savings stored in the Penglai Bank in Dengzhou... He can pay for his own life!"
In fact, Kangxi understood that Chang Ning's life was difficult to redeem, but he still nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Mingzhu, then I will appoint you as the peace envoy to the Ming Dynasty to negotiate peace and redeem people!"
"Slaves will never disgrace their orders!"
