Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 106 Two years of preparation, three years of flattening Wu, who is afraid of whom! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

"Shikai, eat quickly! I heard Xiao Yinzi and Xiao Baozi say that you have liked the dishes in the imperial dining room since you were young, and you would often sneak into the imperial dining room to eat with Xiao Baozi and Xiao Yinzi when you were young. What are you doing now? Lost your appetite?"

"Your majesty, slave, I am just too happy to be able to eat with the emperor, slave... woo woo"

"Big head, why did you cry after eating a meal? It is a great honor for others to dine with the emperor. It is called a banquet, but you are the emperor's own person. Today is a family feast, so don't be so rigid."

"嗻"

In the Hall of Han Yuan on Yingtai Island, a large table of delicacies has already been placed at this time, and only Kangxi, Fuquan, Jieshu, Kong Sizhen, Geng Jingzhong, Wang Fuchen, Wang Zhongxiao, Cao Yin, Doctor Le and other eight people.

This is the practice of Emperor Kangxi giving banquets to Jieshu, Geng Jingzhong, Wang Zhongxiao, Wang Fuchen and others!
These few are all loyal (final) ministers of the Qing Dynasty, and they are the kind who work hard!
In order to be loyal (finally) to the Qing Dynasty, I don’t even care about the New Year’s Day, so I’m going out of Beijing to find Zhu San, guard Fujian, and train the new army—including Jie Shu, Wang Zhongxiao, Cao Yin, and Le Taiyi. There are two errands for a trip out of Beijing. One is to go to Suzhou to find the third prince Zhu. It is "finding", not "catching"!
After "finding it", I have to come up with the imperial decree of Emperor Kangxi to invite the third prince Zhu to go to Beijing to enjoy the blessings, but the whole family of the third prince is not blessed, and he died of plague in Suzhou, so he can't blame Kangxi.

Kangxi was a good emperor, and Zhu Sandewen died of illness because Daming was exhausted!
And the second task of the four of them, of course, is to send Geng Jingzhong to Fujian to become the feudal lord. Geng Jimao has been ill for a long time and should be dying soon. Even if he cannot die for a while, he can be dragged to Beijing to die. If he is really unwilling Come on, isn't there Doctor Le?

In short, Geng Jimao's feudal lord has come to an end, and he must give up his position to Geng Jingzhong, the son-in-law of Heshuo who is more loyal to the Qing Dynasty.
Wang Fuchen was alone again. He went to Tianjin Station to help Emperor Kangxi train his troops!

The executive power of Emperor Kangxi is really nothing to say. The matter that was finalized in September is now only in mid-October, and it is already in full swing.

The Zhili governor's yamen has recruited more than ten thousand civilians, and they are working day and night on both sides of the canal around Xiaozhan to build barracks.The governors of the four provinces of Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, and Zhili have all received Mingfa's decree and began to recruit soldiers for the new army of the green battalion.Ding Zhuang, the first batch of recruits, has now arrived at Tianjin Wei's barracks.

And Zhang Yong and Zhao Liangdong, the two military training ministers, have already handed over their original official positions, and each led their confidant officers and more than a thousand soldiers from the garrison to Beijing.

Wang Fuchen himself worked very hard. These days, he selected the location of the new army camp, formulated the new army barracks system, and collected materials from everywhere to piece together a set of training regulations (exercise code) for the three armies of horses, infantry, and artillery.Kangxi's own military talent is also very high. He first found Nan Huairen, a Jesuit missionary who was imprisoned and almost killed when Oboi was in power, to help him design and cast artillery.Then he used his brains again, directed a group of court painters, and created several formation diagrams of the three armies and sent them to Wang Fuchen and Yue Le for them to practice according to the formation diagrams.

Wang Zhongxiao has already studied these formations, and the drawings are really good, every little figure is vivid.Moreover, the combination of horses, infantry, and artillery in the picture is quite reasonable, and it is really difficult to fight if it is placed on flat ground.In the future, I must send a copy to Wu Sangui, so that he can study it carefully.

As for Jieshu and Geng Jingzhong, they are also ready for the past few days, and they can leave for Fujian at any time—this Prince Kang Jieshu and Prince Jingnan's son Geng Jingzhong are actually Kangxi's insurance for the road between Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian.

Jie Shu went south this time with the Heavenly Soldiers of the Eight Banners, and not just one or two, but a full two thousand Eight Banners!

If there is any change in Wu Sangui's side, then Jie Shu will not return to Beijing after sending Geng Jingzhong to take office. Instead, he will lead [-] Banner Heavenly Soldiers to sit in Fuzhou nearby and mobilize elites from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian to support Guangdong and Guangxi.

At the same time, Kangxi also made deployments in Shaanxi, Gansu and Huguang.Mo Luo, governor of Shanshan and Shaanxi, and General Valka of Xi'an, all went to Beijing a while ago, and they have pleaded guilty to Kangxi for sending Aobai to flatter them, and they have deposited silver in Fuquan's Ruixin Hall, and have been forgiven by Kangxi .Kangxi also ordered them to set off with the [-] Eight Banners to reinforce Shaanxi and return to Shaanxi to take over the defense of Ganshan.

In addition, Kangxi also appointed Sun Sike, the former commander-in-chief of Liangzhou, as the admiral of Gansu, and Chen Fu, the former commander-in-chief of Chongqing, as the admiral of Shaanxi, and ordered them to rectify the green camp in Gansu and Shaanxi as soon as possible.

In terms of Huguang, Kangxi also made corresponding deployments.Under Suo'etu's recommendation, Cai Yurong, former Minister of the Ministry of Officials and a member of the Han Army of Zhengbai Banner, became the governor of Huguang.And the number of supervising soldiers of the Governor of Huguang was increased from the original 3000 to 5000.At the same time, Kangxi is also planning to increase the number of Eight Banners stationed in Jingzhou in the near future, and establish the post of Jingzhou Garrison General.

However, Kangxi did not strengthen defenses in Sichuan and Guizhou, two provinces that were greatly influenced by Wu Sangui, nor did he immediately send Dingnan Gege Kong Sizhen to Guangxi. Wu Sangui left a lot of buffer space.

Obviously, there is still the intention to solve Wu Sangui peacefully.

The way to resolve Wu Sangui peacefully is of course to exchange Xiao Wu for Lao Wu!In order to cooperate with the action of "replacing Xiao Wu with old Wu", Geng Jimao from Fujian and Shang Kexi from Guangdong have to take a step first, oh, change one step first.The two of them had to set an example for Wu Sangui, and at the same time, let the dogs and lackeys under Prince Pingxi take a look. The only one the emperor wanted to replace was Wu Sangui!
Today's Yingtai banquet was mainly held to cheer up the loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty who carried out the grand plan of "trading the old with the small".

Where is this Yingtai Island?That was the place where Emperor Guangxu lived for the elderly. Thinking about Guangxu's fate back then, can Wang Zhongxiao not be excited, can he not be happy?Can you not pretend to be grateful?

After all, he was just a young official, who ascended to the third rank like a rocket, and had the favor of having dinner with the emperor.

This favor has surpassed many old oily officials who have wandered in the officialdom for many years.Can you not be grateful?

If he hadn't devoted himself to serving the country and the people, and had done many deceitful things before, Wang Zhongxiao would have wanted to lie down and not work hard.

Since he didn't dare to lie down, he had to continue to accompany Kangxi to play the role of the emperor, the courtesan and the minister, wiping his tears while using chopsticks to pick up unknown dishes and stuff them indiscriminately into his mouth.

Emperor Kangxi liked this very much, nodded with satisfaction, and turned his attention to Wang Fuchen again.Wang Fuchen didn't cry, he was all greeting Kong Sizhen, and Kong Sizhen kept flirting with Wang Fuchen.

However, Kangxi was very satisfied with the performance of this couple. Kong Sizhen's loyalty to the Qing Dynasty is unquestionable, and Wang Fuchen's soul was half taken away by Kong Sizhen. Are you afraid that he will not work hard to help the court train the new army? ?
Only after training his soldiers can he and Kong Sizhen go south to Guangdong and Guangxi to live a happy life!
Thinking of this, Kangxi coughed and said to Wang Fuchen, "Fuchen!"

"The slave is here!" Wang Fuchen immediately broke the eye contact with Kong Sizhen, stood up and knelt down to Kangxi.

"Sit, sit today is a family banquet, there is no need to be formal." Kangxi smiled and waved to Wang Fuchen to let him sit down again, and then said in a low voice, "Fuchen, there must be a battle between Wu Sangui and Wu Sangui! Although Wu Sangui Living in a corner, the troops and financial resources he can provide are extremely limited, but he must have been preparing for many years to rebel against the Qing Dynasty!"

"The emperor is holy!" Wang Fuchen said, "I have been in Yunnan these years, but I saw Wu Sangui, an old thief, preparing to rebel. Since last year, the speed of this old thief's preparation has been significantly accelerated, and the number of troops under his command has almost expanded to 3. After the imperial court gave the Pingxi Palace and Yunnan only more than [-] soldiers!"

Kangxi nodded, "So I have to step up my preparations, or I will be caught off guard when the old thief Wu is ready!"

"The emperor is wise!" Wang Fuchen first said a compliment, and then began to brag, "As long as you give this slave another year and a half, the slave will definitely be able to train [-] elite soldiers for the emperor, and then the slave will take them to fight for the emperor. Yunnan!"

"Fuchen," Kangxi waved his hand and said with a smile, "Although you are loyal and brave, you are still a bit reckless! I am not in a hurry to enter Yunnan, nor is the Qing Dynasty. I have the whole world, and there is only one old thief Wu. Yunnan, maybe Guizhou. But these two provinces are not rich and have a small population. So as long as I can block Wu Sangui in Yunnan and Guizhou, then I will be sure to win.

As long as my new troops in the six towns are trained, I can further tighten the encirclement of Yunnan and Guizhou, deploy heavy troops in Guangxi, Sichuan and Hunan, and then I can order people to escort Wu Yingxiong to Yunnan to take the throne.

Although Wu Sangui has acted a lot of disobedience over the years, as long as he is willing to hand over the feudal affairs to Wu Yingxiong and come to Beijing to take care of himself, I can still let the past go.Pingxi Yifan can still be passed on! "

While listening to Kangxi's words, Wang Zhongxiao pondered in his heart - this Kangxi is really talented!His arrangement is actually very organized.He was not in a hurry to enter Yunnan and Guizhou, and the world would be settled in one battle, but he arranged a strategy of encirclement and suppression step by step, steady and steady.

"I understand," Wang Fuchen said with a smile, "I will definitely live up to the emperor's entrustment to trap Wu Sangui in the mountains of Yunnan and Guizhou, but"

After the "but", of course there are conditions!
Kangxi was also a sensible little emperor. When he heard the word "but", he didn't wait for Wang Fuchen to hesitate to say the rest, so he said with a smile: "But what? Do you want money, a house or land? Let's talk, Zhen Nothing wrong."

This style is fine!

Wang Fuchen said with a smile: "The emperor really knows what I like about slaves. There are many people in the slave's family, so I can earn more property for them. However, I want to ask the emperor for grace today, but it is not for money and land, but for To handle the emperor's errands well, I would like to ask the emperor to grant the three requirements of the slave."

Kangxi nodded: "Tell me, what are the requirements?"

Wang Fuchen said: "Your Majesty, this slave is the first to ask for a few people to be sent to help this slave."

Kangxi asked: "Who are there?"

"The servant wants to transfer Shao Lingzhi, Cai Yuan, Bai Guangyong, Gong Rongyu, Huang Jiuchou, and Li Shiying. Among these six people, Shao Lingzhi, Cai Yuan, and Bai Guangyong are all lieutenant generals, and Gong Rongyu and Huang Jiuchou are generals. Li Shiying is a guerrilla. They are all slaves, and they are currently working in Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan."

Kangxi nodded: "Yes! You will write a note later, and you want to make it clear where the military officers are, the lieutenant generals, generals, and guerrillas. I will ask the Ministry of War to help you arrange it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Wang Fuchen said at last, "The second request of the slave is to let Shao Lingzhi, Cai Yuan, Bai Guangyong, and Li Shiying recruit four thousand men from Shaanxi and Gansu to come to Beizhili together. It's not that the slave dislikes Zhili, The soldiers recruited in Henan, Shanxi, Shandong and other provinces are useless. Instead, Gansu and Shanxi are barren. Since ancient times, elite soldiers have been produced from poor mountains and rivers! And if four thousand more recruits are recruited into the camp, the slaves will be able to weed out some unusable soldiers. And some people After being laid off, the rest of the people will work hard."

Kangxi smiled and said: "Okay, what you said is reasonable, you really know how to train soldiers, and I agree with this one!"

"Your Majesty, the slave's third request is for the slave's old friend, the former Guyuan magistrate Bashan, who is being elected in Beijing, to be the prefect of Zhaoqing, Guangdong."

"What?" Kangxi was taken aback, "You want to transfer a civil servant to be the magistrate in Guangdong?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Fuchen said, "This slave is not trying to assert power, but to quickly gain a foothold in Guangdong and Guangxi in the future. To gain a firm foothold in Guangdong, the slave must also have a reliable local at least one of his own people." The magistrate of Zhaoqing is obedient and easy to command. Zhaoqing is the residence of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, so let this Bashan go to Zhaoqing to stand in front of him earlier, so that he will have no worries after he takes office."

In fact, it was Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao who arranged for this Bashan to be the magistrate in Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province. It was a way to develop the Reformation Society discussed by Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao. To engage in "New Confucianism" in Guangdong, one must have a reliable person to help open a school and serve those people from Jiangnan. The "Great Confucianism" recruited!

"That makes sense!" Kangxi nodded, "I have approved Wang Fuchen, and I have approved all three of your requests!"

Wang Fuchen hurriedly thanked him and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, your Majesty has approved the servant's request, and I have confidence in my heart. In two years at most, Guangdong and Guangxi will be foolproof!"

Kangxi nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay! Wang Fuchen, you have trained hard in the past two years, and I have prepared well. After two years, I will be free to deal with Wu Sangui. If he is more sensible, he will hand over the feudal affairs and Obai, honestly come to Beijing to retire, I can still tolerate him. Otherwise, I will use the elite of the six towns as the main force to attack Yunnan and Guizhou from Sichuan, Hunan, and Guangxi. And I am not in a hurry to win, I will I will waste him every step of the way for the camp. I have the world, so I don’t believe that I can’t waste Wu Sangui!"

Hearing what Kangxi said, Wang Zhongxiao was relieved.Because he knew that it was impossible for Wu Sangui to hand over Oboi!Obai was all turned into ashes, how could Wu Sangui hand it over?Since you can't hand over Oboi, you can only bring Oboi to rebel together!
At this time, Kangxi lowered his tone again: "However, within the past two years, I will not show weakness to Wu Sangui! Because if I show weakness, the old thief will definitely make an inch of it. The treacherous people in Jiangnan will also hold it in their hearts. It was a fluke. This time, Wu Sangui married his daughter to the third prince Zhu, whose alias was Wang Yongkang, and let the third prince Zhu return to Suzhou to sit in the township. It is probably a good idea. I am afraid of him and dare not touch his daughter and son-in-law! But I just want to touch it His tiger ass! At the same time, I want to show the gentry in Jiangnan who are still thinking about the former dynasty, I am not afraid of Wu Sangui, it is Wu Sangui, an old man who is afraid of me!"

After Kangxi's words, his tone was full of murderous intent!It seems that he is really not afraid of Wu Sangui and the third prince Zhu. Oh, he hasn't seen "The World Is Public" yet, and he hasn't heard anyone sing the impassioned "Song of Great Harmony", otherwise he should know that his murderous intent is The third prince Zhu, who has already penetrated the profound meaning of the art of rebellion, is nothing at all.

And when he heard that Kangxi was going to touch Wu Sangui's butt, Wang Zhongxiao knew he should kneel down—the Emperor Xiaomazi wanted to "touch" Wu Sangui's butt, he must help!Otherwise, how can you touch it?

As for the misunderstanding, of course Wang Zhongxiao has to find a way. He has to make this misunderstanding bigger!

"Don't worry, your majesty, this servant will definitely go here." Wang Zhongxiao put down his chopsticks and lay down on the ground and said, "I will definitely help my majesty invite the third prince Zhu to Beijing to enjoy the blessings, and I will let the third prince Zhu know that you are the best emperor ever. Not to mention him as the third prince, even if his family's ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang comes, he can only be an obedient citizen of the emperor!"

Kangxi laughed and said, "Wang Datou, how can you flatter me? Zhu Yuanzhang is very capable, I am still a little worse than him."

"Your Majesty," Wang Zhongxiao continued to pat: "Zhu Yuanzhang's ability is great. He started with a bowl and conquered the whole world. But now the world is under your rule, the emperor. The world is peaceful, the weather is smooth, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and no one is begging for food. Zhu Yuanzhang If he was born in the present, he would probably go to study and take the exam for talent."

"Hahaha!"

Now that the flattery was in place, Kang Mazi laughed loudly, "Wang Datou, you are right, as long as the people under my rule have food and clothing, how much trouble can Wu Sangui and Oboi create?

Jie Shu, Wang Shikai, Cao Yin, Doctor Le! "

"Minions are here"

Those who were named all knew that Kangxi was going to pass the word of mouth, so they quickly knelt down to the child emperor.

"Clean up and set off for Jiangnan as soon as possible!"

"The slave leads the order!"
