Chapter 248 Life or Death

After Kangxi gave some instructions, he fell into a deep sleep again, leaving the ministers in the tent, but at this time he was in a dilemma.They looked at each other, and they all retreated and walked out of the tent.

"Lord Tong, what the emperor said is to discuss peace with Chu Ni again. This matter must not be done."

Just after leaving the camp, Xun Zhu grabbed Tong Fahai's sleeve, frowned and said, and the other ministers did the same.

Tong Fahai frowned. The people in the camp didn't say a word just now, but now they started to argue with each other. He didn't want to entangle too much, so he said firmly: "Master Xunzhu, this is the emperor's oral order, don't you want to resist?" Is it not possible?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was blocked. The crime of disobedience and disrespect is not fun. At the least, one person beheaded, and at worst, the whole family was implicated. Seeing Tong Fahai say such words, no one dared to say more Said, just looking at Sun Zhu.

Xun Zhu didn't have much prestige at ordinary times, but he just relied on his age to stand in the court. Seeing that Tong Fahai didn't give anyone face, there was nothing he could do at the moment. Wang Naersu winked.

Naersu himself had his own thoughts, at least he did not want to accept peace talks with Chu Ni. Although there were some emotional disputes, the deeper reason was that many interests had been involved.

The reason why the ministers opposed the peace talks was the same. The key was that Kangxi's oral order was not in the interests of the ministers, nor in the interests of the entire Eight Banners Group.

In fact, as I said before, the foundation of the Manchu emperors lies in the Eight Banners. Although the Eight Banners can consolidate the imperial power, it is also a threat to the imperial power itself.Like the early old slave era, the so-called ministers of state affairs and council ministers were specially set up. These ministers were composed of the original tribal leaders, and then formed a grass-roots team with his Baylor sons to handle government affairs.

Later, Nurhachi further concentrated power, that is, the four major Baylors were assigned to state affairs on a monthly basis, and took power into their own hands.Later, as Huang Taiji took power and proclaimed himself emperor, the so-called Eight Kings Discussion appeared at that time.

In the early and mid-term of Kangxi, the existence of the eight kings' political affairs seriously affected Kangxi's own prestige, so it was always suppressed by Kangxi. The so-called South Study Room was a measure of Kangxi to bypass the cabinet and the eight kings' political affairs.

Now that Kangxi has seen it clearly, it is impossible to fight for life and death with the Fuhan Army, so it has come to the point of considering the way forward.But for the noble ministers of the Eight Banners, abandoning Jiangnan itself is a serious injury to the Eight Banners. Without Jiangnan and Huguang, how can they support the children of the Eight Banners?
If you really have no hardcore crops, you might as well go to the battlefield and fight to the death!

However, it was precisely because Kangxi knew about this that he told Tong Fahai in front of everyone that he wanted Tong Fahai to follow a dark path to the end and become a complete lone minister and evil son.That is to say, if the matter can be done, it is the emperor's credit, and if it is not done, it is your fault alone, Tong Fahai.

Because of this, Ping Jun Wang Naersu also said at this time: "What the emperor said is not just begging for peace, but also depends on whether Chu Ni knows what is going on. It would be good to think about it if he retreats."

After saying this, it is even more unreasonable. The big guy understands in his heart that if he talks about this kind of condition with Chu Ni right now, isn't it just a joke?If the negotiation fails at that time, it will still be Tong Fahai's fault.

Tong Fahai's face didn't fluctuate at all, he bowed and said: "The servants have to do what the emperor ordered, and they have to do it well, everyone, the right and wrong of this will be left to the future."

As soon as the ministers heard that it was okay, they didn't continue to persuade them to stay. Tong Fahai rode in a carriage with a groom, and just left the camp of the Qing army without the slightest panic. in the heart.

When Ning Yu heard that the Qing army had sent envoys, he probably understood what was going on, but he didn't want to go see him, but sent Li Fu to see Tong Fahai himself, and the two of them were also there at first. I stayed in Nanshufang before, but Li Fu's seniority is relatively low, so the relationship is not close, but it is rare to meet each other now, so we drink together in the tent all night until dawn.

The sky was slightly bright, so Li Fu sent Tong Fahai out of the barracks, and returned to the camp by himself to find Ning Yu, with a mysterious smile on his face.

"Let's fight! The time has come!"

Ning Yu frowned slightly. At this time, the smell of alcohol on Li Fu's body made him feel a little disgusted.

Li Fu chuckled, "Tong Fahai came here this time in the name of seeking peace, but in fact he was seeking death. It must be that Kangxi has hesitated in his heart, or something happened."

"Why?" Ning Yu knew that Li Fu's speculation about people's hearts was very profound, and he should have gained something after thinking about it.

"To seek peace, it is natural to put forward the conditions for peace, but Tong Fahai didn't mention it bluntly, he just focused on drinking with me. I saw that his expression was normal, and I thought he was trying to find out my truth. The intention of seeking peace this time is really not sincere enough. "

"Then why is it begging for death?"

"It's not about asking for peace, it's naturally about asking for war, but now Tong Fahai should have gotten Kangxi's will, he's in a dilemma, and he can't escape death in the end."

"Is that going to be fought?"

"beat!"

Ning Yu stood up and said with a smile, "Sir, go to sleep peacefully, and wait for the result of today's battle." But as soon as the words fell, Li Fu was lying on the table, sleeping soundly.

With the sound of rumbling drums, the [-] Fu-Han army assembled into formations, and the flags fluttered to show their heroic spirit on the battlefield. The resonant Fu-Han army's military song sounded, and they began to walk slowly towards the Qing army.

"I, I won't retreat today!"

With the support of his guards, Kangxi stood up still in his armor. Facing the mighty Han army, he didn't have the slightest fear, his face was flushed, but his body seemed a little trembling.

There is a thick layer of fog in front of him. This layer of fog is not caused by gunpowder smoke, but it has appeared since he vomited blood yesterday. He can't see clearly, but he can hear it. See everyone's inner voice.

Tong Fahai stood at the side, with a look of death in his eyes. The current situation is beyond anyone's control. It was the same for the peace yesterday, and it is the same for the battle today.

In today's Qing army camp, there are only about 1 Qing soldiers left, and there are [-] horsemen waiting behind the formation, and everyone's faces are more or less ugly.

At present, on the surface, the number of the Qing army is still greater than that of the Fuhan army, but those who have experienced yesterday's battle will not think that the Qing army, which has lost all its elite, still has the ability to fight. Today's battle is not so much a battle. A decisive battle is more like lingering on one's last breath.
