Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 149 Kangxi, Your Brothers of the Eight Banners Are Not Enough to Die! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
Kangxi ten years, the first day of July.

This is the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and it is already August in the Gregorian calendar of later generations.The weather in the Kangxi year was relatively cool. During the season of fire in July, the climate in the imperial capital of the Qing Dynasty in the north was already relatively cool.But the humidity in summer has not dissipated, and the wind and sand in autumn have not yet blown up. This is probably the most comfortable time of the year.

But different from July in previous years, Beijing in July this year was somewhat cold. After all, so many Eight Banners disciples and their servants went out together to deal with Wu Sangui. [-] Banner Zhengding and Baoyiren, plus Zhengding and Baoyiren's domestic slaves, the number of males in the inner city of Beijing will be reduced by about [-] at once!

Today's Beijing is not a metropolis with a population of 2000 million in later generations. Today, the population of Beijing's inner and outer cities is only 80 million, and if it is [-], it will be [-]% less.Moreover, they are all bannermen Zhengding, Baoyiren and their domestic slaves with strong spending power.Even Bada Hutong has been depressed these days, and a large number of brothels and Chu houses have collapsed
However, those "Sisters of the Eight Banners" in the inner city of Beijing who sent away their husbands and managed the family business alone are quite happy these days.Although my husband is not around for the time being, life is very exciting!
As long as their husbands made meritorious service during the fight against Wu Sangui, wouldn't they have better jobs and world positions when they come back?Even if you don't make much merit, the emperor will still give you a generous reward.

This Qing Dynasty belongs to the Eight Banners after all, the emperor will never treat his own people badly!
As for defeating the battle. That is impossible!

Therefore, the "Sisters of the Eight Banners" all over Beijing have been waiting with joy for their husbands to return in victory.It also includes Wu Xiaotu and Yang Xiaohuan, the "half-father" sisters in Wang's house in Tofu Lane.

The two sisters Xiaotu and Xiaohuan became mothers one after the other.Xiaohuan was born at the end of May, Ti Wang Zhongxiao gave birth to Wang Xiuquan, and Xiaotu was born on the sixth day of June. It was the day when the Daguan Town War started, and Wang Xiuqing was born!
Both of them gave birth to sons, one Xiuquan and the other Xiuqing. With the blessing of these two little dolls, the fortunes of the Qing Dynasty fell a lot.So Wu Xiaotu felt that he was going to be a princess soon!

Although Yang Xiaohuan can't be a princess, her family is also a hero in the restoration of the Ming Dynasty or the founding hero of the Wu family. In the future, they will be rewarded for their merits.

Therefore, the future identity of her little wife is uncertain, and it is possible to be a first-class wife.And her son Xiuquan looks like a "full heaven and round earth", and he will definitely have a future in the future.

In addition, Yang Xiaohuan's sister, Yang Xiaomi, is the Lan'er who pretended to be a member of Yehenala's family. She also gave birth to a daughter for Fuquan a few days ago. Although she is not a son, Fuquan still likes it very much. A small courtyard house was built on the ground inlaid with blue flags in the city of Beijing.

The yard is not big, but it's a house in the city, and it's not far from Tofu Alley, so it's convenient for Xiao Mi to come to Xiaohuan's place when he has nothing to do.

Unlike Yang Xiaohuan who was married to Wang Zhongxiao, Yang Xiaomi didn't know her brother's plans—she thought she was his brother's tool to curry favor with Yu Wang Fuquan. After all, the Yang family's business didn't have a big backer It is not acceptable.

So, when she came to visit Tofu Alley today, she showed off for a while that she was favored by Fuquan.

"King Yu said it, if I can recognize Ming Que's godfather, he will help me set up a side Fujin!"

Speaking of being a side Fujin, Yang Xiaomi, who was coaxing and playing with Wang Xiuquan in her arms, smiled like a flower, so happy, she smiled for a while and then said to her own sister: "Miss Xiaohuan, I even mentioned Big Brother to the prince." thing."

"Oh?" Yang Xiaohuan frowned, she knew that this girl's temperament was a bit "watery".
Wu Xiaotu, who had just put his son Wang Xiuqing to sleep, smiled and asked, "Sister Lan'er, what did you say to the prince?"

"Of course I transferred Big Brother back to Zhili earlier," Yang Xiaomi said, "What's so good about being the commander-in-chief in Yunnan?"

"Then what did the prince say?" Wu Xiaotu asked again.

Yang Xiaomi patted his magnificent chest as if to show credit, "Of course the prince listened to me. He said that when Yunnan was pacified, he would transfer Brother Big Tou to be the commander-in-chief of Tianjin. Although Tianjin is not as prosperous as Beijing, But it is much better than Yunnan, and our Yang family has a lot of acquaintances in Tianjin, Big Brother must be comfortable as the commander-in-chief."

Xiaohuan just smiled wryly, she is not a bad girl, she has a warm heart, but she doesn't know much.

She was thinking about how to tell Yang Xiaomi to let her mind her own business, when the voice of the housekeeper Li Fuhan suddenly came from outside the door: "Second Young Master, are you Second Young Master? Why are you back?"

Second son?
The three women who were enjoying the shade, chatting, and watching their children in the yard were all taken aback.

Li Fuhan called Wang Jizhen "Elder Prince" and Wang Zhongxiao "Second Prince". Could it be that Wang Zhongxiao has returned to Beijing?Shouldn't it?A while ago, Wang Zhongxiao wrote a letter saying that he was going to Yunnan. Why did he go to Beijing in a blink of an eye?
As soon as the three women thought of this, they remembered Wang Zhongxiao's hoarse voice outside the Chuihua Gate: "Second Uncle, I came back for business and something happened! I came back from Sichuan at an expedited speed of 3000 miles, more than [-] miles away. It’s been a long way to go for six days!”

It turned out that Wang Zhongxiao and Fei Yanggu rushed all the way back to Beijing from Sichuan at a speed of six hundred miles!That is to say, their bodies are strong enough, like iron nails, otherwise they would be exhausted to death.

But even a strong man like Wang Zhongxiao, after going through all this tossing, he has endured several times, and he has changed from a strong man to a thin and thin man, his skin is a little tanned, his eye sockets are sunken, his lips and chin There are also many untrimmed beards drilled out of it.Wang Leiyong, who came back with him, was even more miserable. He was so black and thin that he was almost unable to hold on, and was supported by two servants of the Wang family, one on each side, to rest.

Wang Zhongxiao said again: "Second Uncle, get me and Da Lei (Wang Leiyong) something to eat and drink, and boil some bath water, I will go to the palace to see the emperor later! You smell it, I smell bad. Turn around and smoke The emperor can't do it.

By the way, are Xiuquan and Xiuqing here?I haven't seen them both yet! "

When Wu Xiaotu and Yang Xiaohuan gave birth, Wang Zhongxiao had already sent troops with Yue Le, so he didn't stay by his two wives' sides, and he hasn't seen his "Xiuquan" and "Xiuqing" until now. up.

While Wang Zhongxiao was talking, he walked into the vertical flower gate. When he finished speaking, he had already entered the courtyard. As soon as he stood firmly in the courtyard, he saw Yang Xiaomi who was holding a child.

"Hey, isn't this Xiao Mi?" Wang Zhongxiao first looked at Xiao Mi's attractive face, and then scanned down. Hey, it's even more impressive after giving birth!She's still holding a baby, and I don't know whose it is?
Thinking of this, he quickly asked, "Who is this child?"

"It's yours!" Xiao Mi said in a sweet voice, and then smiled and held Wang Xiuquan in her arms to her brother-in-law, "Brother-in-law, look, how much does he look like you?"

"Mine?" Wang Zhongxiao glanced at Xiao Mi again, and met her eyes that could discharge electricity, his bones were a little crisp.
"This is Xiuquan!" At this time, Wu Xiaotu, who is the head of the family, had already carried Wang Xiuqing and walked up to Wang Zhongxiao. Looking at her husband's current appearance, she felt ecstatic and distressed at the same time. The unlucky look of being defeated!

It was so painful that Wang Zhongxiao seemed to have suffered a lot!
"Xiuquan?" Wang Zhongxiao was overjoyed, "Hug me little Tu quickly, you hug Xiuqing right? Come on, let me hug you too!"

Xiao Mi first carefully handed Wang Xiuquan to Wang Zhongxiao. The boy was sleeping comfortably, when he suddenly smelled a sour smell. When he opened his eyes suddenly, he found that he had been surrounded by a man who looked like a beast. I was "captured". This man is staring at him with his eyes wide open, is he going to bite me?

Xiao Xiuquan burst into tears with a whoosh!

And when Xiuqing, who was a month younger than Xiuquan, was handed into Wang Zhongxiao's arms, she probably thought her "stinky dad" was ridiculous, so she giggled, very cute.

Although one was crying and laughing, but Wang Zhongxiao liked these two big fat boys very much. He hugged them for a while and coaxed them until Li Fuhan said that the bath water was ready, so he had to hand over the two children to Yang Xiaohuan .Then he smiled and said to Yang Xiaomi who had been staring at him: "Xiao Mi, I have to enter the palace to face the Holy Spirit later, right, the southwestern soldiers are fighting fiercely! Also, your adoptive brother is back , he came back with the third class Bo Feiyangu."

Yang Xiaomi's expression also turned serious, and she gave a blessing to her brother-in-law, "Brother-in-law, then Xiao Mi won't bother you, and I'll visit another day."

"Okay, little Tu, send your sister off."

"Yes."

After Wang Zhongxiao ordered his wife Xiaotu to send Yang Xiaomi away, he staggered to the wing room where the bathtub was placed.
About an hour later, Wang Zhongxiao had washed himself clean and put on a slightly baggy official uniform. He ran to the duty office outside Jingyun Gate and handed over the green head lottery to see him.

As soon as the green lottery was handed over, Fei Yanggu's voice came from the side: "Shikai, are you here too?"

Looking back, Wang Zhongxiao found that Fei Yanggu had come earlier than him, but he had washed it clean and changed into the earl's super-grade official uniform, holding a steaming meat bun in his hand (it should be Yushanfang Baozi Zhang) handicraft) sitting on a chair and chewing!
Just as Wang Zhongxiao was about to go up to say hello, he saw Tong Guowei, the minister of the interior, rushing out of the Jingyun Gate with his robe in hand. When he saw Fei Yanggu and Wang Zhongxiao, he asked nervously, "Yangwu, Shikai, why are you two back?" ? Also, Southwest’s military express has been suspended for a few days, hasn’t it?”

Fei Yanggu hurriedly got up and moved closer, waving his hand at Tong Guowei: "Mr. Yun, has the emperor summoned me and Shikai?"

"Xuan, Xuan, come with me! The emperor is watching the struggle on Yingtai Island, so he has to walk a little bit."

Fei Yanggu smiled wryly and said, "Three thousand miles have been traveled, what's the difference?"

While talking, Tong Guowei took Fei Yanggu and Wang Zhongxiao and trotted all the way to Yingtai Island.The current Nanxun Pavilion on Yingtai Island has been remodeled and turned into a closed martial arts hall.Emperor Kangxi and his two good brothers, Fuquan and Chang Ning, often enjoy the wrestling here. Women's wrestling!

When Fei Yanggu and Wang Zhongxiao's green-headed signatures were handed over, Kangxi, who was upset because of the sudden interruption of the Southwest Army's flight delivery, was relaxing on the island with his two good brothers watching the fight!
Oh, this is not lewdness, this is the study of traditional Chinese martial arts!

Yang Qilong's "loyal merchant" has just presented two "women" who are proficient in wrestling, with that figure and face. Of course, Emperor Kangxi doesn't care, what he cares about is the skill and birth of the "women", He can't want Yang Qilong's sister. He is the Ninth Five-Year Master, so he has to be careful.

And these two "female heroes" are not Han Chinese, but grassland women from the Chahar tribe of Mongolia, who are said to have the blood of Genghis Khan.Yang Qilong spent a lot of money to go through the door of Prince Chahar Burni, and "invited" them to Beijing from him, and Yang Qilong's young mother Jin Yuhuan personally trained them for several months before offering them to the palace.

Kangxi also asked Cao Yin to secretly send the priest at the sticky pole to investigate the details of the two "women", and it was indeed exactly what Yang Qilong said.Only now did Emperor Xiaomazi really believe that Yang Qilong was a "loyal businessman". He was so happy that he even rewarded Yang Qilong as a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (rewarding him as a slave is really a great grace of the emperor), and also gave him a fourth-rank top wearer And the privilege of "inner treasury money banker" - being able to "inner treasury money banker" means becoming the highest-level imperial merchant!
But Kangxi is not in the mood to appreciate "traditional martial arts" at the moment, but wanders around in Nanxun Pavilion—who are Fei Yanggu and Wang Zhongxiao?They actually rushed to Beijing at a speed of six hundred miles!

Something must have happened. And most likely the front line suffered a big defeat!

If they are about to win, Yue Le and Le Erjin wish they could "Lubu Feijie", how could they hide it?

And when Kangxi saw the unlucky appearance of Fei Yanggu and Wang Zhongxiao, his heart was about to break, and he didn't wait for them to bow down according to the rules, so he asked directly: "How is it? How is the battle on the front line? Win or lose?"

The strategy for the battle of Fushun, Yue Le had already written it in the memorial, and delivered it to the capital with [-] lifei.When Kangxi first saw it, he was quite happy, thinking that he was sure of winning.As a result, there was no news for how many days in a row!
"Your Majesty." Fei Yanggu was about to reply, but tears were already streaming down his face, "Slave, the servants are defeated!"

"Defeated. Did you lose a lot?" Kangxi is not afraid of losing a battle, as long as the defeat is not too much. Even if you exchange three or five green battalion soldiers for one Wu soldier, he doesn't care!
"Your Majesty," Wang Zhongxiao had already handed over the secret document, "this time, we were beaten up by the rebels Luo Sen, Ma Siwen, Zheng Jiaolin, and Wu Zhimao."

Wang Zhongxiao cried as he spoke!

Now Kangxi was dumbfounded. Who were Luo Sen, Ma Siwen, Zheng Jiaolin, and Wu Zhimao?They are all rebels now, what will happen if they lose the battle of Fushun?

Fuquan has already jumped up: "What? The governor of Sichuan, the admiral of Sichuan, the commander-in-chief of Baoning, and the commander-in-chief of the New Army of the Green Army are all rebels? Then can this battle still be fought?"

"I can't beat it." Fei Yanggu cried bitterly, "Your Majesty, my lord, we let the traitors make us miserable this time."

Kangxi shook his hands and took the memorial that Wang Zhongxiao was holding into his hand, "Eight, how many people were killed or injured by the Eight Banners?"

He doesn't care how many green battalion soldiers die, but the Eight Banners children can't die casually!Especially Man Qi, who is the core, there are only a few people in total, if they are all dead, how can he still be the emperor?

Fei Yanggu said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, when the slaves left Baoning, King An and King Shun had gathered more than [-] people. Among them, there were still five or six thousand people from the Eight Banners."

That is to say, [-] yuan was discounted in World War I!

Is this still the case?

"How is it possible? How is this possible"

"That's right, isn't the Eight Banners soldiers invincible?"

Fuquan and Chang Ning also exploded.

"You two lords," Wang Zhongxiao said with tears in his eyes, "Wu Ni's soldiers are now so fierce that they fight like crazy. They are ten times more fierce than what I saw when I was in Yunnan, and I was beaten by them. !"

Fei Yanggu also cried and said: "My lords, what Wang Shikai said is right, now Wu Ni's soldiers are stronger than our Eight Banners soldiers!"

"This this"

"impossible, impossible"

Kangxi looked at the two brothers who were about to collapse, sighed suddenly, and said: "This is the courage inspired by the "Tian Mu System of the Heavenly Dynasty". In terms of merit and division of land, this is half a military meritorious title!
That's what Han Chinese eat!It was the same in the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was the same in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was the same in the early Ming Dynasty, and now it is happening again! "

Hearing what Kangxi said, Wang Zhongxiao knew that the little emperor had already studied the "Tian Mu System of the Celestial Dynasty".

This Kangxi knows everything, including the military exploits of the Han people, the new technology of the West, and what the earth looks like, but he just doesn’t do anything, and he doesn’t let others understand it.

"Your Majesty," Fei Yanggu said to Kangxi, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Today's Sichuan is a piece of white land. No one has no food. It can't support the army for a long time. As long as we can hold the Qinling Mountains and Qishan Mountains firmly, Block Wu Sangui, this old fellow will die of old age in Southwest!"

"Can it still be blocked?" Kangxi gave Fei Yanggu a sideways look.

"Yes!" Fei Yanggu nodded heavily, "King An still has [-] troops, it is enough to guard the mouths of the Qinling Mountains and block Qishan Mountain."

Kangxi glanced at Wang Zhongxiao, but Wang Zhongxiao shook his head, with a look of concern for the country and the flag, "Your Majesty, this servant is worried that Wu Ni still has the power to strike!
Although Sichuan is deserted, but Wu Ni obtained the reserves of the government and the army, and with the help of the governor and admiral of Sichuan, it is still possible to dispatch an army of [-] to the Northern Expedition to return to the Central Plains!

Although my army of the Eight Banners can still block the mouths of Qishan and Qinling to fight to the death, but people always die in wars.The servant is worried that the disciples of the Eight Banners will be in the Qinling and Qishan areas..."
