Mingzhu limped out of the Silver Buddha Temple and was about to go to Beijing to find her son and trick Prince Gong Chang Ning. His son Nalan Xingde was holding an urgent military report that had just been transferred from the Military Advisor's Office, and was running as fast as he could along the long corridor of the building surrounding Wuying Palace. While running, he shouted: "Good news! Good news... Your Majesty, what a great victory!"
It turned out that Nalan Xingde had been sent to Zhu Heji as an attendant by Prime Minister Zhuge, who was good at pinching and calculating. When Zhu Heji was in school, he liked Nalan Xingde's poems. Now of course he was very happy to see the real person... He didn't have many "acquaintances" in this era! Kong Sizhen is one - he often went to her "home" (Princess Tomb) when he was in college in Beijing, and Nalan Xingde can also be counted as one. Now that Kong Sizhen is dead, he is waiting to be buried in the princess's grave. Since Nalan Xingde was still alive, Zhu Heji was nostalgic for him. So I took him running and exercising every day, and even rode bikes with him.
Over the past few months, the physical condition of Nalan Xingde, a "fat man", has improved significantly, and the "short-lived look" on his face has also disappeared. Now I can run from the duty room (concierge) at the gate of Wuying Palace to the imperial study room on the third floor in one breath.
In the Imperial Study Room, a military meeting was being held. Zhu Tianwang, Zhuge Sanhe, Yang Qilong, Yu Zhongxian, Yu Xiaoqian, Su Yong, Qiu Rong, Chen Shangchuan, Liu Guoxuan, Qiu Hu, these civil and military officials are all here!
The content of the meeting was to discuss launching a comprehensive Northern Expedition!
The "genius staff" of the Military Advisor's Office have already prepared a "flawless plan" to destroy the Qing Dynasty - according to this plan, the Ming Dynasty will achieve a major victory in the war against the Qing Dynasty before the end of the second year of the Grand Duke!
If nothing unexpected happens, the main force of the Qing Dynasty Eight Banners will suffer a devastating blow in the siege of Beijing. The "genius advisers" of the Military Advisor's Office believe that Kangxi, who likes war, will definitely rely on Beijing Jiancheng to fight the Ming Dynasty to the death. Therefore, they suggested that the Liaodong Army that broke into Zhili should adopt the combat policy of "first seizing the port, then trapping Beijing, encircling but not attacking, and annihilating the enemy to aid"...
At the same time, they also suggested that the Huguang Army and the Huainan Army launch a full-scale Northern Expedition in April of the second year of the Duke's reign - because they expected that at this time, the main Qing forces in Henan, Shandong, and Huaibei would have gone north to support Beijing, so the Huguang Army in the Northern Expedition , the Huainan Army will definitely capture large areas of territory easily. At the same time, the Huguang Army and the Huainan Army should also dispatch a strong force and rush north to Zhili to participate in the siege of Beijing and the counter-siege operations.
In short, Yu Xiaoqian, Qiu Hu, Su Zhe and other young staff members of the Military Advisor's Office who formulated this plan never expected that Kangxi would surrender, let alone that the Qing Dynasty would die suddenly.
So when Nalan Xingde banged open the door of the imperial study, and then stood there with his face flushed, holding a fire-painted military newspaper in his hand, breathing heavily. Qiu Hu had just finished reading the "Strategy for the Northern Expedition in the Second Year of the Grand Duke" that was about to be implemented, and was about to make some remarks such as "I have the advantage" and "I will win this battle"!
Zhu Heji seemed to be in a good mood. He looked at his "good poetry friend" Nalan Xingde and said, "Rong Ruo, what is so extraordinary? Could it be that the city of Beijing was captured by the Liaodong Army?"
Nalan Xingde just nodded, his expression full of admiration, and he gasped and said: "Holy, holy, holy, holy..."
"Sheng Ming?" Zhu Heji was also stunned, "Did they really defeat him?"
"Fight, we have defeated!" Nalan Xingde said, "Not only has Beijing been defeated, but Kangxi has also surrendered... Your Majesty, the Qing Dynasty is gone!"
"What?"
"How can it be?"
"Isn't this too fast?"
"Why is it gone before we even fight?"
There was an exclamation in Zhu Heji's imperial study room.
Judging from the map, the Qing Dynasty still owned almost half of the country. Moreover, the strength of the Eight Banners New Army has not declined. Among the twenty-four strong mountains, only three have been eliminated as an established organization, and one has defected.
Therefore, Kangxi still had at least twenty Gushan in his hands. Although some of them suffered heavy losses in previous battles, some remained intact... The total strength of Kangxi's new army would never be less than 150,000.
Lu Yong, controlled by Kong Shenggong, also had certain strength, with a total force of at least 80,000!
In addition, the Mongols loyal to Kangxi could also mobilize many troops.
So how could Kangxi, who was powerful, not carry out a desperate struggle?
How could he surrender? He surrendered, how can he still make meritorious service?
Can this surrender not be counted?
"Rong Ruo, whose military report is this?" Zhu Heji asked with a smile.
In fact, he didn't believe that the Qing Dynasty was over.
"Your Majesty," Nalan Xingde said, "This is a report from Huang Zhisheng, the governor of Qingyao Shandong who was transferred from the Huainan Army... This Huang Zhisheng is a Confucian boss. He has now led the Shandong state capitals under Qingyao's rule. Surrender to us together!"
It turns out that the report from the Liaodong Army has not arrived yet... The report from the Liaodong Army has to go south by sea. When it will arrive depends on the weather and wind direction.
During these days, the wind is southeasterly at sea. The boat going south from Tianjin is moving very slowly, and it hasn’t arrived in Shanghai yet!
Huang Zhisheng had secret contacts with the Huainan Army of the Ming Dynasty, so his report arrived first.
"Quick, bring it to me!"
Zhu Heji quickly asked Nalan Xingde to show him Huang Zhisheng's report.
"It's Huang Zhisheng's handwriting," Zhu Heji's voice trembled a little, "Kangxi really surrendered... We won!"
Zhu Heji's eyes became moist as he spoke. But he still found it incredible, but who was Huang Zhisheng? Would he make such a joke? impossible!
There was silence in the royal study room, it was obvious that everyone was surprised.
But this silence did not last long before it was broken by King Zhu Tian's laughter.
"Hahaha, this Kangxi really threw himself into a trap! Shai Zai..." King Zhu Tian made a beheading gesture, "Your uncle's revenge must be avenged... This is also what your aunt meant!"
Princess Kunxing hated the Manchus very much, and she also expressed her thoughts of revenge to King Zhu Tian and Zhu Heji. And Zhu Heji and his son always felt a little apologetic towards Princess Kunxing, so they had to help avenge Zhu Cixiang!
Zhu Heji nodded lightly and said in a low voice: "This account must be settled, but not now." He paused, "Now we have to make him a marquis, so as to stabilize those Qing countries that surrendered to us. Officials...just create the Marquis of Yanen."
It is always good to be able to defeat the enemy without fighting, so Zhu Heji did not mind giving "Kangxi" a few days of good life.
Once this moment passes, it won't be too difficult to find a way to kill him.
However, King Zhu Tian was more anxious than his son, so he smiled and asked: "Sai Zai, who do you want to go to Beijing to grant Kangxi a marquisship?"
"this……"
Zhu Heji was still thinking, but King Zhu Tian had already spoken, let Wang Shiyuan go.
Wang Shiyuan served as the prefect of Dengzhou and Jinzhou. During this time, he was serving as the censor in Nanjing.
Zhu Heji nodded, "Okay, it's him."
King Zhu Tian said again: "Without further delay, let him set off quickly."
"Okay!" Zhu Heji nodded, "I will immediately ask the navy to send a clipper to send him north!"
...
Prince Gong Chang Ning, who pretended to be Kangxi, is enjoying his imperial treatment on Yingtai Island - the imperial treatment of being imprisoned!
Live on a small island surrounded by water and beautiful scenery. Eating four dishes and one soup, including fish and meat. There are two Korean concubines accompanying him day and night... His life is not much worse than when he was a prince!
Chang Ning sometimes felt that the life of this rich man was not bad, and it would be great if he could continue to live it.
But he also knows that these good days will eventually be like a mirror. One reason is because his "Kangxi" is fake!
The second is that the hatred between the Aixinjueluo family and the Zhu family is not ordinary!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel worried... The day of reckoning was coming soon, right?
When he thought of this, his heart felt like a knife!
Just when he felt sad in his heart, Wang Fuchen's voice suddenly came up behind him: "Xuan Ye, congratulations, the Nanjing Imperial Envoy has arrived and is here to grant you a title!"
