Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 146 The Furious Kangxi, The Aggrieved Yue Le (Three in One)

In fact, it was not only the shareholders behind Liu Dapao who were shocked. It should be said that everyone who saw this battle, including the green battalion stationed in Haifeng City, everyone looked like a sand sculpture at this time.

Shock, the ultimate shock!

Facing the Eight Banners soldiers who were not too different in number, the Weiguoying actually fought with no damage to all members, and demolished the whole city by the way?
Is it because the Eight Banners soldiers are too weak?

However, if you think about it carefully, almost everyone of these Eight Banners soldiers is still charging bravely under such huge casualties. In all fairness, they are worthy of the word elite.

It can only be said that Jiang Sheng's Weiguoying is too strong.

Of course, this is actually the result of Liu Dapao's cheating. If it wasn't for the exhibition match, Liu Dapao would not have installed Jiang Sheng's entire battalion with the latest Fuming gun. His production is really limited. There are too many people who care about him. It is a temporary call.

As for the cannons, this batch of six howitzers and ten Raytheon cannons were originally used to defend the city, and they were all the property of Chenghai City, so they were all brought over to Jiang Sheng to install B.

Under normal circumstances, unless Liu Dapao is crazy, he will equip the soldiers of a certain battalion under his command with such luxurious light and heavy firepower. At least three to five years later, his military factory will definitely not have such a large production capacity, and the shells will not be enough to shoot like this. .

Furthermore, the fruitful results of this battle are largely due to Jiang Sheng's blocking tactics with six Mingshen cannons. Most of the Eight Banners soldiers can't even get out of the door. Naturally, this battle cannot be fought. Now, this small city not only did not increase the difficulty of the siege side at all, but became a huge burden for the Eight Banners Army.

In a normal war, which commander would let you approach the city so easily and block the door in your spare time?

Not to mention the siege of the green battalion, these Eight Banners soldiers had no choice but to charge forward in a straight line foolishly. Under normal circumstances, the cavalry must try their best to spare the infantry and attack the infantry's flank.

In other words, in fact, after all the elite corps of Ming Dynasty have completed the change of equipment, compared with the Eight Banners soldiers, the probability is actually half the catty.

What's more, with Chaozhou's production capacity alone, it would be a matter of the year of the monkey if all the Ming troops were to complete their outfit changes.

But the problem is that other people don't know these things, the shareholders don't know, or at this moment, none of them have the heart to care about these things!
They only knew that just now, with a force of over 1000 troops, Jiang Sheng crushed the two leading Zhenghuang Banners and Eight Banners elites, smashing them all to pieces with zero casualties.

Eight Banners?You are nothing but a fart in front of my Great Ming Divine Army!

All of a sudden, Haifeng's soldiers and the common people in the city who had to watch the excitement (the whole city is a city within the city), and all the shareholders who came to see the scene were all excited.

They chanted the slogan "Long Live the Company and Long Live the Ming Dynasty" loudly, weeping with joy and tears in their eyes.

Can win, really can win.

The concept of the Eight Banners being invincible has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for decades. Liu Dapao must use the most straightforward facts, even if it is cheating, to tell the world that the Eight Banners are not worth fearing.

This is not only for the market value of the stock, but also for the hearts of the people in the world.

Seeing this, Liu Dapao stood up, took a simple loudspeaker, waited for a long time for the onlookers to calm down, thought for a long time, but only yelled out one sentence:

"Go and buy stocks! The company will win, Daming will win!!"

………………

On the other side, just as Liu Dapao beat the Eight Banners and bombarded the city, Kangxi finally got the news of Wu Sangui's rebellion, and received battle reports from the south one after another.

The huge stimulus made this self-proclaimed wise young emperor almost unable to stand still.

"Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui!! A traitor! He kept asking me for farmland and cattle. I was so stupid that I sent troops to Liaodong to help him acquire land. He is playing me like a fool!"

"Tan Hong, Luo Sen, Zheng Jiaolin, good, good, they are all rebellious officials and thieves!!"

Saying that, in anger, he punched hard on the pure gold dragon chair under his buttocks.

"What should I do now? Who can tell me what to do now?"

When the civil and military officials saw this, they all kept silent, but at the same time they couldn't help but slander in their hearts: I said earlier that the withdrawal of the domain should be done slowly, but why didn't you just listen?
After a while, Yue Le couldn't help but sighed and said: "Returning to the emperor, the matter has come to an end. I think that the most urgent thing is to stop the order of San Francisco's withdrawal as soon as possible, so as to appease Geng Jingzhong, Shang Kexi and Sun Yanling. They rebelled together, and the consequences might be disastrous."

Hearing this, Kangxi couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "How could I not know, it's just that Wu Sangui is so powerful right now, and I had the order to withdraw the feudal domain long ago, so Geng Jingzhong is still gratifying, I'm afraid it's... well, it can only be... Do your best to obey the destiny, the country is difficult, the emperor, the country, and the country, this time I have to rely on you a lot."

Seeing that Kangxi praised him very much, Yue Le was filled with emotion for a moment. After all, he had a special status. When Shunzhi was about to die, he even considered letting him be the emperor, so before that, Kangxi treated him very well both openly and secretly. Suppress him more, and his qualifications are here, so naturally there is no need to be too flattering to Kangxi.

He simply ignored Kangxi's rainbow fart and said: "The situation is critical. Don't expect Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi to help the court beat Wu Sangui. As long as they can make them hesitate a little, maybe the outcome can be decided."

"The top priority right now is Wu Sangui. Since Wang Pingfan has taken Sichuan, he may send his troops north to attack Shaanxi at any time. The Northwest Admiral Wang Fuchen is Wu Sangui's old department. Since Zheng Jiaolin has voted, it is hard to say whether Wang Fuchen can be trusted. I think it is necessary to send The important ministers and heavy troops rush to the northwest to help, and at the same time, to win over and appease Wang Fuchen, the [-] elite soldiers in the northwest are very important."

"Hunan doesn't need to think about it. It will be a matter of time before the whole line is defeated. The most urgent thing right now is to provide support to Hubei as soon as possible. Once Wu Sangui is allowed to cross the Yangtze River and then Jingxiang is taken down, the world will really be in turmoil."

When Kangxi heard the words, he couldn't help snorting angrily: "Sang Er, as the admiral of Huguang, fled in battle, he deserved to die!"

Hearing this, Suo'etu couldn't help reminding him: "Your Majesty, after all, Sang'e was born in the Eight Banners of the Liaodong Han Dynasty, and his father, Li Guohan, is an old minister of my Humerus in the Qing Dynasty. At this moment, if he is severely punished, I'm afraid... inappropriate."

When Kangxi heard the words, he immediately reacted, and quickly changed his words: "Then...the governor of Hunan, Lu Zhen, escaped before the battle, and committed a heinous crime. I agree, I will be executed on the spot!"

Good guy, if you don't kill the admiral or the governor, you are also talented.

What's more, Na Sang'er retreated to Xiangyang in one breath. Although Lu Zhen left Changsha and ran away, he ran to Yuezhou at least, and he was still in the south of the Yangtze River. Obviously, he still had the will to resist. of.

But there is no way, someone has to be responsible for Hunan being beaten like this. Who let people say that it is the Eight Banners of the Liaodong Han Dynasty? For the Qing court, the Liaodong Han Eight Banners can be used as half of their own. They are inextricably linked with Wu Sangui, and most of them hold important positions, so it is too late to appease them, how can they be punished?

Who told you that Lu Zhen is a Han Chinese? Who will you blame if you don't blame him?
"In addition, I think that when Liu Xun, the general manager of Chaozhou, is ordered to prepare troops and horses, on the one hand, he will use the navy to restrain Geng Shang's two vassals; go……"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a long shout from outside: "Report ~ report ~ six hundred miles urgently."

Kangxi was so excited that he couldn't help asking eagerly: "What's wrong? Which important town was lost again?"

"Chaozhou, Liu Xun, Chaozhou Town, rebelled! Geng Jingzhong, rebelled! Sun Yanling, too!"

"what?"

For a moment, Kangxi felt that he could not stand still, and his head was buzzing.

Geng Jingzhong and Sun Yanling turned against each other, he can still understand, and seeing that their actions are so unified, maybe they have already connected in series. , even he himself felt that he was extremely stupid.

But Liu Xun?
Why!

"Liu Xun, why did Liu Xun betray me? Didn't it mean...he bought the army's heart just to protect himself? Didn't he say that he just broke through the Yanping Palace a few days ago and even captured Zheng Jing? Where's Mi Sihan? How many?"

Kangxi staggered down in a panic, took the battle report and read it himself. After seeing it, his eyes went dark, and he fell into a squatting position.

Yue Le didn't bother to pay attention to Kangxi's dragon body, and asked eagerly, "Your Majesty? What did the battle report say?"

"Liu Xun... is a fake. He, he is the chief rudder of the Tiandihui. He killed an official and pretended to take office. The real Liu Xun is dead long ago."

Yue Le was shocked: "So... you pushed a rebel from the Tiandihui to the position of a cabinet scholar, and became the head of the Han people? Then he pacified Wanwan..."

In the middle of speaking, even he himself couldn't help laughing.

Heaven and Earth will fight Yanping Mansion, and their own family will fight their own family.

Kangxi couldn't help but close his eyes and said with emotion: "This bastard is playing me like a fool. According to intelligence, this person has made Chongzhen's daughter Aimee Zhu the empress, and restored the Ming court in Chaozhou. .Wu Sangui Geng Jing is loyal to Sun Yanling and has already expressed his surrender to him. Our opponent has changed from Wu Sangui to the Ming court."

After speaking, he slowly opened his slightly tired eyes, and said: "I have treated the Han people with kindness and kindness for more than ten years, but I have brought back the Ming court."

When the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty heard the words, they were at a loss for a while.

Seeing Kangxi's bloodshot eyes, he ordered: "Come here, pass on my order, arrest and execute Liu Xun's family members, old and young, father and fellow villagers, and implicate the nine clans, no, ten clans! I want to implicate his ten clans!!"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this.

Shi Clan, isn't it a little too ruthless?
But no one thinks that Liu Xun's family should not be killed. After all, the Qing court cannot admit that Liu Xun is Liu Dapao, otherwise it will appear that Kangxi is stupid. The empress dowager is stupid.

Ok……

Even so, it still looks like they are stupid.

Besides, who knows if this is a smoke bomb?Who knows if Liu Dapao is a fake name Liu Xun made up for the safety of his family?

The emperor is about to suffer from lung problems, is it appropriate not to let him kill a few people to vent his anger?

However, the Zhushi Clan...

Due to the prevalence of clan culture in the south, the killing of any southerner can almost be equated with the massacre of a county, and some may even massacre several counties in one go.

Obviously, Kangxi was mad with anger.

Seeing this, it was still Yue Le who stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, Liu Xun is from Shaoxing, Zhejiang. At this time, punishing his ten clans will only make the people of Shaoxing, and even the people of Zhejiang, set off a wave of resistance against the Qing Dynasty again. Now that Geng Jingzhong has If you raise troops to rebel, you may leave Xianxia Pass and enter Zhejiang Province at any time, and I think that although Liu Xun's family members should be killed, there is no need to mobilize the army and implicate innocent people."

Hearing this, Kangxi glared fiercely at Yue Le and said, "Uncle Emperor, did you think that I was too cruel? Who was it that promised me that Liu Xun was fine? Don't think I don't know, because of you He personally wrote a letter to reprimand Hao Duo for the broken stock in his hand! You are his Liu Xun's accomplice!"

Yue Le was taken aback for a moment, but felt extremely miserable in his heart, quite speechless.

He, Yue Le, is a little bit greedy for money. Who would buy stocks not want their stocks to go up?But to say that he is Liu Xun's accomplice, isn't that bullshit.

Kangxi has obviously become a bit of a mad dog at the moment, biting people recklessly.

If you are not the emperor, uncle, I will slap you a few big ears and teach you a lesson for your father.

However, Prince Kang Jieshu stood up at the right time and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is necessary to punish Liu Xun's ten clans. Otherwise, it is not enough to deter countless Han officials in the world. Han people are a bunch of white-eyed wolves who are not familiar , must come to the fore in an emergency."

"Besides, I believe that, including the transfer envoy Yu Chenglong, Chaozhou Tong Zhi Yao Qisheng and others, there has been no report for several months, and it is clear that they have already betrayed, and it is definitely not something that can be dealt with by negligence."

"I suggest that their clansmen should be executed together."

Kangxi, who was getting angry, didn't say a word: "Yes!"

Yue Le was furious, pointing at Jie Shu and yelling: "Jie Shu! Are you fucking crazy! Are you really going to make the emperor lose the hearts of the people, the army, and the officials?"

Jie Shu said without fear: "The Han people are afraid of prestige but not virtue. No matter how good you are to them, it is useless. Sichuan was pacified by you back then, and it was your idea to lightly corvee and pay less. What happened? Once Wu Sangui arrived, The whole province is waiting to surrender! At this time, if you don’t punish them with severe punishments, do you still want to continue to indulge according to your wishes!”

"Fart! I only have a total of 16 people in the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. If we want to stay in the country, we must treat the Han people well, at least some Han people. Nowadays, there are wars everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River. Are the soldiers going to fight? Will they be able to fight?! Zhu Zi’an dares to talk nonsense, ruin our national policy of the Qing Dynasty, and shake our ancestors!"

Yue Le is Nurhachi's grandson, Jie Shu is Dai Shan's grandson, there is a difference in generation and age between the two, Yue Le called him "Zhuzi" in a hurry, there is nothing wrong with it.

Especially Yue Le has never been very fond of this outstanding book. After all, this person has no military achievements and no qualifications, but he was able to rise to the top and was named the prince. He was second only to himself in the meeting of kings discussing politics. To put it bluntly, Apart from having a good father, the main reason is that this guy is respectful and good at licking, and he is very cooperative with Kangxi's various measures to restrict the king's discussion of politics. It is no different from the civil and military slaves of the Manchu Dynasty.

In contrast, with Yue Le's age and qualifications, if you ask him to lick Kangxi, a brat, it will be a bit awkward. Before Shunzhi died, he considered that Kangxi was young, and even wanted to pass the throne to Yue Le. It was thanks to the opposition of Xiao Zhuang and the rest of the kings that it failed, so Kangxi's support of this outstanding book meant to suppress Yue Le to some extent.

On weekdays, Yue Le doesn't bother to pay attention to these things, and he doesn't even have much interest in the government itself. Le also doesn't want to have any more major conflicts with Kangxi, Jie Shu and others.

However, the emperor is obviously mad with anger at the moment, and Yue Le doesn't know if it is a momentary anger, but he knows that whether it is the ten clans who killed Liu Xun, or the family members who killed Yao Qisheng and Yu Chenglong, not to mention This killing, in the end, refers to the Zhulian clan, and what it sends is a very bad signal: the Manchus no longer trust the Han people.

This is what Yue Le can't tolerate anyway. He is the most staunch reformer among the kings of the Qing Dynasty, and the most solid comrade-in-arms of Emperor Shunzhi's reform. .

To be honest, the Qing Dynasty’s policy towards Han was a long and gradual process. At the beginning, Nurhachi mainly focused on brutal suppression. In the end, Mao Wenlong stabbed his chrysanthemum in the back to make him want to die, so he proposed some soft policies.

When it came to Huang Taiji, this great politician who can be regarded as a great talent from the perspective of the whole history first put forward the political slogan of the Manchu and Han families to establish the Han Eight Banners, and then married Mongolia and shouted that the Manchu and Mongolian families established the Mongolian Eight Banners and recovered Horqin Mongolia and Liaodong, Geng, Shang, and Kong Sanfan laid the foundation of the real Manchu Qing Dynasty.

When it came to Shunzhi, Emperor Shunzhi eliminated part of the counter-offensive calculations in the Dorgon era in one fell swoop, and carried out a series of reforms to maintain the relationship between Manchu and Han, including promoting Wenzhi, advocating Sinology, allowing the Manchu and Qing nobles to learn Han culture and Chinese; In the officialdom, at least on the surface, it has achieved impartiality, equality between Man and Han, and even allowed Han people to hold important positions in the Eight Banners, such as the deputy capital.

At the same time, Shunzhi also restrained the barbaric behavior of the officers of the Eight Banners, and punished the Manchu Eight Banners for killing and looting at will; She loves her concubine very much, and she does not hesitate to marry the noble princesses to Han officials. In the original history, Princess Jianning married Wu Yingxiong at this time. This is also the biggest contradiction between Shunzhi and Xiaozhuang. Mother and son turned against each other.

It can be said that the so-called prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong in the original history, the real foundation was laid by Shunzhi and inherited by Yongzheng. It has little to do with Kang and Qian. mean. (I don’t know why netizens are more respectful of Yongzheng now, but rarely mention Shunzhi)
Originally, Kangxi was still young after all, and he had only been in power for a few years. Prior to that, Aobai and other auxiliary ministers were all conservatives headed by Xiaozhuang, and they were counterattacks against the reform of Shunzhi. Afterwards, although I haven’t had time to really announce my own political opinions in recent years, and I have only dealt with Oboi’s party members in recent years, but to deal with the conservatives, the reformers must be reused, and the status of the Han people has rebounded to a certain extent, but Is this rebound out of Kangxi's need to attack the old auxiliary party such as Obai, or did he really inherit Shunzhi's legacy?It's really hard to say, anyway, he and Xiao Zhuang, the real leader of the conservative faction, have always been ancestors and grandchildren, and they have never heard of any major conflicts between them. It's big, at least Xiaozhuang's status has not been shaken in the slightest, and the leader of the reformist Yue Le has not been particularly important. Everyone has always seen his great politics not very clearly, vaguely.

Looking at it now, if Kangxi was only temporarily driven mad by Liu Xun or Liu Dapao, then that's okay, if he calms down afterwards, there is still room for recovery.

I'm afraid that in this moment of anger, I will drive backwards like Dorgon!
You must know that in the process of Shunzhi's series of reforms, Yue Le has always been a die-hard supporter of Shunzhi, and even among the kings of the Qing Dynasty, he was the only one who firmly supported Shunzhi's reform. The Manchus and even the Mongols represented by Xiaozhuang got less.

For this reason, in fact, he is the leader of the Zhenghuang Banner, and Prince He Shuo'an has offended almost all the nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. On the contrary, he has a high prestige among the Han ministers, and above the court, he is wronged. It became the representative and the biggest backer of the interests of the Han people.

But all in all, personally speaking, Yue Le, who has already offended his fellow clansmen of the Eight Banners but is deeply loved by the Han people, absolutely cannot accept the resumption of the Manchu-Han conflict, that would put his position in a very embarrassing position.

For Yu Gong, he is also Aixinjueluo anyway, and he really hopes that the Manchu Qing Dynasty can be safe and secure forever, and if he wants to be safe and healthy, he must be a Manchu and Han family.

Didn't you see that the world was full of wars during Dorgon's administration, but after Shunzhi came to power, the world suddenly became more peaceful?

However, under the moment of anger, Jie Shu immediately caught his tongue and refuted it: "Prince An, the emperor has already approved this proposal. Me, I'm still pointing at Sang and scolding Huai."

Hearing this, Kangxi also had a grim look, and looked over with slightly narrowed eyes, which made Yue Le even more unable to bear the bursts of bitterness.

But he had no choice but to say: "I implore the emperor to take back the order and deal with it as appropriate. The most urgent task at the moment is to put down the rebellion! I suggest..."

But Kangxi said: "Does the emperor think that all my orders are random? If that's the case, why don't I abdicate to let the virtuous, and let you be the emperor, okay?" Anyway, the father originally thought pass it on to you."

These words are really too cruel.

Yue Le also had to kneel down, saying that he forgives the crime, and then turned to business: "I think that the war in the south is corrupt, and Hunan must not be able to hold on. The key lies in Jiangxi, which is located in Geng, Wu If the key point at the junction of the three families of Liu and Liu is lost, all the thieves will join hands to cut off our water transportation, at least the land in the south of the Yangtze River may not belong to our Qing Dynasty."

"I would like to recommend myself to lead the elite soldiers south to Nanchang to sit in the central army and take charge of the war in the south."
