Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 454 Chang Ning, you are the most loyal king of the Qing Dynasty and the number one enemy of the Ming Dynasty! (Ask for monthly ticket)
"Your Majesty, this is Liu Bang joining Han Xin's army!" Bahai immediately knew what Kangxi was planning. Don't look at this Guarjia. Bahai was tall and thick. He had also served as the general manager of Ninggu Pagoda and the general of Heilongjiang for a long time. Although he held a military position in the border army, he was actually a second-generation intellectual of the banner. In his early years, he served as a bachelor's student in the Secretariat and knew a lot of historical allusions.

Chang Ning didn't like reading very much. When Ba Hai said "Liu Bang joined Han Xin's army", he immediately thought of Liu Bang's visit to Yun Mengze. He thought Kangxi was going to catch him and kill him, and his little face turned pale with fright. Looking at Bahai in horror: "He, he, he wants to kill the rabbit and kill the dog, and hide the bird behind the bow!"

As soon as Bahai heard this, he knew that Chang Ning had misunderstood. He quickly shook his hand and said, "No, no, my lord, how can you compare with Han Xin? Liu Bang is afraid of Han Xin's rebellion, but the emperor is not afraid of your rebellion. Moreover, you have not done anything in these years. Why do you do anything wrong to him? Why does he need to get rid of you?"

But I miss my sister-in-law. Isn’t this a smaller crime than Han Xin?Han Xin never coveted Queen Lu's "beauty", right?Chang Ning said in her heart: You stupid Bahai doesn't know about this, but Xuan Ye, a ruthless person, definitely knows!
Seeing that Chang Ning was still frightened, Bahai quickly comforted him: "My lord, you are still the leader of the princes of the Qing Dynasty. Now we are facing a formidable enemy. Even if we in the Qing Dynasty work together, we may not be able to prevail. If the emperor dares to think of Liu Bang, If we captured you like you did when you were traveling to Yunmengze, how about the Qing princes still falling apart? By then, even if Li Zhongshan’s Northern Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty is cut off from food routes, they can still rely on the food and grass provided by the Qing princes who defected to surrender and go north to Yanjing. !”

Bahai still analyzed it thoroughly!

After Kangxi overthrew Fuquan, in order to unite the Manchu and Han military leaders who had become warlords, and to expand the army at a low cost, he had to delegate power to the military leaders and make them princes.Most of the territories granted to these princes by Kangxi were in Shandong, Henan, Shanxi and southern Zhili, so that they could be used as human shields against the Ming Dynasty and Wu Zhou.

Of course, in order to increase the enthusiasm of the meat shields, Kangxi also set aside large tracts of land in Monan Mongolia, Mobei Mongolia and the Northeast, allowing the meat shields to build Touxiajunzhou as their retreat.

Prince Gong Chang Ning was General Shengjing before he joined Kangxi from Fuquan. He had a lot of troops at his disposal, and his strength was second only to Kangxi and Fuquan. After Fuquan's fall, he naturally became the first prince of the Qing Dynasty. It owns Dengzhou Prefecture in Shandong Province and Jinzhou Prefecture on the Liaodong Peninsula. It also has the banner owner of the Zhenglan Banner, 51 vassals under the Zhenglan Banner (each vassal has 200 households), and also owns the Green Camp New Army. Two brigades, really great princes!
Although Yang Qilong's strength has surpassed Chang Ning's after taking over North Korea, he has become the de facto leader of the Qing vassal state. His status is similar to that of Galdan, the Khan of the Golden Horde, and he can no longer be regarded as a prince of the Qing Dynasty.Therefore, the number one prince in the Qing Dynasty is still Aixinjueluo Chang Ning!

Now if Kangxi wants to resist the Ming Dynasty, he must unite the princes. Otherwise, Kangxi must rely on his own strength. Not counting the troops left in Taiping Valley, just in the Qing Dynasty itself, including soldiers and militia, 15 can be considered too much. How could it be possible to fight against Ming's "80 heavenly soldiers"?
Moreover, it was impossible for Kangxi to expend his own strength to carry thunder for the princes below him!Why did he put those princes in Shanxi, Henan, and Shandong?Don't you just hope that they can hold on for a while when Daming and Wu Zhou come over?
So Kangxi now had to coax, pull and force the princes below him. Thinking of the word "force", Chang Ning felt as if he was waking up from a dream!
Kangxi sent people to demolish the Taoyuankou Dam of the Yellow River. The first reason was of course to cut off Li Zhongshan's food route, and the second reason was to force his good brother Chang Ning to lead the Qing princes to fight against the Ming Dynasty!

"Bahai," Chang Ning looked at Bahai with a gloomy face, "Then what should I do?"

Bahai frowned and thought hard: "Your Majesty, the emperor's methods are getting more and more sophisticated now. He has all arrived in Weihui. It is impossible for you to lead troops back to the vassal territory. I'm afraid you can only go to Weihui." See you at the camp!"

Chang Ning sighed and was about to complain when his guard commander handed over a yellow leather box containing a fold: "Your Majesty, this is a letter from the Emperor to you."

"Send a letter or decree? Bring it to me."

Chang Ning took the yellow leather box, tore off the seal, took out a yellow envelope, opened it and started reading. It seemed that after a while, his face turned blue.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Bahai asked.

"He asked me to meet him at Songji Town, Kao County, below Wei Hui Mansion."

"Kaoxian Song Collection"

Ba Hai also looked a little ugly. Kaoxian County is an enclave of Wei Hui Mansion. It is not adjacent to other territories of Wei Hui Mansion, but borders Kaifeng Mansion, Daming, Guide Mansion, and Caozhou Mansion.

Moreover, Songji Town in Kaoxian County is right on the edge of the Yellow River, opposite Taoyuankou!
What does it mean that Kangxi actually summoned Chang Ning at the crime scene?Do you want Chang Ning to kowtow to the people of Henan and apologize?
Thinking of this, he could only look at Chang Ning with a bitter look on his face: "My lord, I'm afraid it won't work if I don't go!"

Chang Ning gritted his teeth: "Go! I want to see Xuan Ye's face!"

In Weihui Mansion, Kaoxian County, Songji, and under the Yellow River Dam, there was a scene of chilling.

The Eight Banners New Army, the powerful Green Camp troops, the Mongolian warriors, as well as the Sauron cavalry and Barhu cavalry from between the white mountains and black waters, just stood solemnly under the embankment.The soldiers' armor was neat and their bayonets were cold.

They are the strongest force of the Qing Empire, which spans thousands of miles and has inherited the Mongol legal system.Although the Qing Dynasty's national destiny has inevitably declined sharply since the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, which was left with only one breath left to hang on, the Qing Dynasty's military strength has become more courageous because of the defeat of Kangxi, and it has launched the "Mingwu Movement". The practice of "taking Ming as a teacher" and "teaching Ming as a teacher to control Ming" has seen a significant rise, even surpassing the strongest state when the Qing Dynasty first entered the customs!
Even if you let the old villains of the generation of Huang Taiji, Dorgon, and Duoduo come back from the eighteenth level of hell, you still can't defeat the new army that Emperor Kangxi has at his disposal, which has plummeted in content and has become popular with flintlock guns. Haha, no matter how cruel the villain is, he can still be shot away!

Times have changed, but after all, Kangxi is not Daoguang, Xianfeng, or Guangxu. The Qing Dynasty under his rule can still keep up with the changes!
But the problem is that before the Qing Dynasty caught up with the times, it had already lost most of China and at least [-] million people. Most of the land and population lost fell into the hands of the emerging republican Ming Dynasty!
Now the population of the Republic of Ming Dynasty is three times that of the Qing Dynasty, and its financial resources are ten times that of the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, the military mobilization capabilities of the Republic of China in the Ming Dynasty have completely surpassed the princes of the Qing Dynasty.This people's republic is a country where the country directly connects with the people, without middlemen.As for the princes united, isn’t there still a bunch of princes, big and small, trying to peel off a layer of skin in the middle?All these princes, big and small, are now on the dam, following Emperor Kangxi, Prince Gong Chang Ning, and the great uncle of the Zhou Emperor, King Wu Sanwei of Han, looking south together!
The south side of the dam on the north bank of the Yellow River is of course flooded with the surging Yellow River water!

The dams near Taoyuankou of the Yellow River have created a gap several miles wide for the Yellow River water. The Yellow River water rushing from the upper reaches surges out of this wide gap and rushes into the wilderness where it is located, swallowing the Taoyuankou. All nearby villages, woods, fertile fields, and even the Tucheng Tower at Taoyuan Pass were washed away.As far as the eye can see, there is only the vast yellow ocean!

Emperor Kangxi's pockmarked face was filled with false compassion. Looking at the endless yellow water, he just kept shaking his head and sighing: "It's really like the angry waves. The great Central Plains is flooded. The people are suffering when they are prosperous. When they die, the people are suffering. ah!"

Okay, the lyrics are all done!It’s really “compassionate”!

Those who don’t know the truth think that he didn’t order people to dig the Yellow River dam!
After Emperor Kangxi finished his lyrics, he looked back at Chang Ning, who looked as ugly as if his own father had just died, and said in a reproachful tone: "Lao Wu, I know that everything you do is to protect the Qing Dynasty and protect the Qing Dynasty." The country of our banner people
But, but, if you do this, the people south of the Yellow River will suffer!

I don’t know how many people will drown in such a huge water. I really can’t bear it!Woo woo"

Even as he spoke, he started crying
Seeing Kangxi's fake compassionate face, Chang Ning became angry.

He, Prince Gong, was well-informed and had seen many shameless people, but he had never seen anyone as shameless as Kangxi!

It's obvious that he did the bad thing, but he wants to frame it to his brothers, and he still pretends to be a good person!
Why is Chang Ning so miserable?Such a brother on the stall?

"Your Majesty, please don't be sad...for the sake of your Qing Dynasty and my family's Zhou Dynasty. Just, alas, let's suffer for the common people! This infamy...will be borne by Prince Gong!"

Wu Sangui's cheap brother Wu Sanwei, the "emperor uncle" who had just been promoted to King of Han, didn't know whether he was really confused or pretending to be confused?
Anyway, while he was comforting Kangxi, he also said something strangely like, "Prince Gong will bear all the infamy"...

Kangxi looked back at his brother who looked aggrieved...still looking at him fiercely!

Chang Ning also trembled and quickly expressed his position: "Uncle Huang is right. Your Majesty, the current situation has no choice but to suffer for the people. I will bear the infamy!"

Chang Ning's words were tantamount to admitting that he was the one who dug the Taoyuankou Dam!
And he said it in front of Wu Sanwei, the uncle of the emperors of the Zhou and Qing Dynasties (Kangxi was Wu Xuanye!) and a group of princes of the Qing Dynasty.

Now let alone jumping into the Yellow River, even if you jump into the Yellow Sea, you won't be able to wash it clean!
Kangxi was finally satisfied, and turned to Wu Sanwei and said: "Uncle Emperor, although what Chang Ning did is a bit unethical... But once the water floods in the direction of Xuzhou and the Huaihe River, the food road of Li Zhongshan's Northern Expeditionary Army will become The swamp is completely impassable.

This war is also about logistics!Li Zhongshan's food route was cut off, so what else could he use to fight?So what if he has 80 troops?The army will collapse without food... As long as we can hold on for a while, we will not let him grab food on the ground in Shandong.Then even if Zhuge Kongming is reborn, he will have no choice but to retreat after running out of food! "

When Kangxi said this, his voice was so loud that not only Wu Sanwei could hear him clearly, but also the princes of the Qing Dynasty who followed him.Now everyone knows what Emperor Kangxi is planning?

He wanted to imitate Sima Zhongda and let Li Zhongshan become Zhuge Kongming... What he was fighting was a "war of troops and food". If Li Zhongshan was forced to run out of food, he would be considered a victory!

After hearing these words, Wu Sanwei nodded repeatedly and said: "Your Majesty, you are right! Once the Yellow River floods, Li Zhongshan's food will definitely not be transported. All he can count on now is to defeat the enemy because of food."

Old Man Wu also raised his voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry... We, the monarchs and ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, are all proficient in the Three Kingdoms. We know very well that the Zhou Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty are the lips and teeth of each other. Only by joining forces can we resist the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise Both families have to finish!”

His words were also meant for the princes of the Qing Dynasty!

Wu Sanwei also had to give reassurance to these princes, asking them to follow Kangxi as human shields and consume the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expeditionary Army.

However, Kangxi was still not satisfied with this statement alone.

The Mazi Emperor, whose face was full of sadness, further asked: "Uncle Emperor, what is my uncle King Qin's plan?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Wu Sanwei said, "With Prince Gong's invasion of the Yellow River, the Prime Minister will definitely send troops to respond to the Qing Dynasty. After all, it is now a post-Three Kingdoms! Shu Han can still watch Soochow live. Let Cao Wei destroy the country?"

Kangxi looked back at the Qing princes and said confidently: "With the words of the emperor's uncle, our advantage will be even greater! Now the Ming army's logistics has been cut off, and they can only rely on the little food they have on hand." Barely hanging on.

Prime Minister Wu Chen of the Great Zhou Dynasty is facing us again and will soon send troops to help.

In addition, Ming's rear is also unstable... I have just received good news from Japan. The Spanish Armada and Japanese mercenaries just won a great victory at Pinghu in Jiaxing Prefecture!

There were 2 Japanese mercenaries who successfully landed while the Ming army was unprepared!Defeated thousands of defenders, captured Pinghu County in one fell swoop, and captured countless items!Now they are marching towards Baoshan County, a commercial port in the southeast of Ming Dynasty... These Japanese mercenaries are the Japanese pirates back then!Do all the ministers know how the Japanese pirates caused harm to the southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty? "

"I know! These Japanese pirates caused great harm to the southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Yes, although it can't compare to Emperor Taizong's several raids... Hmm, in short, the southeast of the Ming Dynasty must be unstable!"

"Then Li Zhongshan definitely doesn't have enough military rations. It seems that we only need to learn Sima Zhongda's trick against Fang Geliang and make him hold on and block it firmly. We, the Qing Dynasty, will definitely win!"

Seeing that the princes below were very confident, Kangxi finally calmed down and looked back at Prince Gong Chang Ning: "Fifth brother, I know that everything you do is for the good of the Qing Dynasty... You are my Qing Dynasty. Your most loyal king! How about we go east together to block Li Zhongshan’s way north to Shandong?”

Although Chang Ning was very reluctant in his heart, he had no choice but to give up in face: "My brother is willing to march forward for the emperor's brother and break his body to pieces to protect our Qing Dynasty!"

Seeing that the first prince was so active and loved the Qing Dynasty, other princes on the embankment also expressed their stance. A large group of people knelt down and shouted in unison: "I am willing to join the emperor and Prince Gong to resist the Ming Dynasty." , Even if it’s a mess, I won’t hesitate!”

Kangxi nodded, this is the effect he wanted!
He mobilized so many troops today to watch the "flooding of the Yellow River" at the Yellow River dam in Songji, Kaoxian County, in fact, to strengthen everyone's confidence and determination to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

I just want everyone to know that the Qing Dynasty can win, and the hatred between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty is too deep to be resolved!
……

Xuzhou Jiangsu.

On the tenth day after the dam broke at Taoyuankou, Li Zhongshan finally arrived at Xuzhou City, which had been besieged by floods. He stood at the top of Xuzhou City with a livid face and stared at the mud outside the city.The dozen regiment admirals and division commanders of the Northern Expeditionary Army, as well as the Northern Expeditionary Army's military advisor Zhou Chang, and the river governor Jin Fu who was in charge of logistics and transportation, all followed Li Zhongshan, and they were all filled with righteous indignation.

Of course, most of them had expected that Kangxi would play such a ruthless game. Using water to replace soldiers is nothing new, and the Qing Dynasty did have the conditions to tap the Yellow River!Kangxi was not a kind person, what could he not do if he jumped over the wall in a hurry?
Although they knew that Kangxi would do this, it still didn't stop them, the leaders of the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition, from getting angry and looking like they wanted to eat Kangxi alive!
At this time, a young soldier from the general's camp quickly walked up to the tower and handed Zhou Chang a note.

Zhou Chang took a look and said, "General, there is news from our insiders in the business that Kangxi has arrived at the front line... and he has also gathered all the generals and Wu Sanwei, King of Han of Great Zhou Dynasty, together on the bank of the Yellow River on the other side of Taoyuankou. Pledge of allegiance at the military parade!”

"Damn it, you dare to look at it!" Lieutenant General Luo Dawei, who was born in Huaixi, shouted on the spot with red eyes, "General, please let the Huaixi army of the lower official go to fight... I have one hundred thousand Huai General Xi will risk his life to catch this Hulu chief and kill him with a thousand knives!"

Kangxi's move of the Yellow River flooded Li Zhongshan's grain road, but it also angered the Huaixi elite!

As the leader of the Huaixi generals, Luo Dawei had been shouting for fights and killings since the Yellow River burst, and he kept asking Li Zhongshan for battle.One moment he wanted to kill Chang Ning, the next moment he wanted to kill Kangxi...

"Luo Junmen, don't worry, there is a chance for your Huaixi Army to take revenge!" Li Zhongshan said with a livid face, "Kangxi actually came to die, how can we let him go?"

The Ming army generals on the tower became more energetic and started to gnash their teeth and yell.

"Yes, we can't let Kangxi go!"

"Kangxi is a scourge and must not be kept."

"The Yellow River Dam must have been ripped off by someone else... Are you still taking advantage of Chang Ning and treating us like three-year-olds?"

"General, please give the order! Let's go to Kangxi to settle the score!"

"General, give the order quickly... While we still have enough rations, we must destroy the army brought by Kangxi!"

Li Zhongshan nodded heavily: "Okay! What you said is exactly what I want the general to say... When we return to the Pizhou camp, we will immediately vow to send troops to kill Kangxi, capture Chang Ning, and destroy the Qingyao!"
