Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 80 If Obai leads the Northern Expedition, who in the court can be the one?
"Father, is it unclear where Oboi is going? He must have gone to King Pingxi!"

"Went to King Pingxi?" Kong Sizhen asked, "How did you see it?"

"Auntie," Wang Zhongxiao said, "Although Oboi and our uncle are close friends, you are the master of Dingfan after all! If he goes to Guangxi, you will know, and you are the Empress Dowager." My goddaughter, our Princess Heshuo of the Qing Dynasty, will definitely kill her relatives righteously at that time.

Besides, even though my uncle is planning to become King Dingnan, that's all he has in mind. King Dingnan is, after all, the vassal king of the Qing Dynasty.If my uncle kidnapped Obai and sent him to Beijing, maybe the emperor and empress dowager would reward him with the throne of Dingfan.

But King Pingxi is different. King Pingxi wants to rebel and become emperor!If you want to rebel, you must have a general who can stand alone, and Oboi, the number one in Manchuria, Batulu, is such a general.Think about it, if Oboi leads the army in the Northern Expedition, who in the court can be the one?

In addition, Oboi must have hidden buddies in the court!Otherwise, how did he escape from Qianqing Palace that day?It must be Oboi's buddies who found out that the emperor had set up an ambush in Qianqing Palace, so they sounded a reminder.Now this buddy has not been captured yet!

Now King Pingxi has more than [-] elite soldiers. If you get the assistance of Oboi, and the assistance of Aubai's best friend in the court, Auntie, tell me, is it very likely that King Pingxi will succeed in rebelling? "

Kong Sizhen gasped when he heard that!

If Oboi helped Wu Sangui to rebel together, the group of military leaders in Guangdong and Guangxi, including his vassal leader and his father's old subordinates, would definitely bet on Wu Sangui's success.

At that time, not only will the Qing Dynasty be in chaos, but even the good life of the feudal lord Ge Ge will not be preserved!
Thinking of this, Kong Sizhen glanced at Wang Fuchen tenderly: "Brother Wang, what should we do?"

"Don't be afraid," Wang Fuchen stroked his beard, "Sister Zhen, you brother is going to be the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi in the future. You go back to Guangxi and sit in town. Together, we will definitely be able to stabilize the situation in Guangdong and Guangxi for the imperial court!"

Kong Sizhen nodded, but his brows could still be frowned, "But there are Pingnan Prince's Mansion and Xushun Duke's Mansion in Guangdong, and Jingnan Prince's Mansion and Haicheng Duke's Mansion in neighboring Fujian. And the admirals, generals, and deputy generals from Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian Either the old minions of King Pingxi, King Pingnan, and King Jingnan, or the pirates who took refuge in the court, they are almost unreliable. If they rebel together, relying on my fifteen assistants and your supervisor, how can we stabilize the situation? "

In the early Qing Dynasty, there were actually not three "vassals", but six, namely Pingxi Wangfu, Pingnan Wangfu, Dingnan Wangfu, Jingnan Wangfu, Xushun Gongfu and Haicheng Gongfu. There are 53 directly-administered assistants, and the three palaces of Pingnan, Dingnan, and Jingnan each have fifteen directly-administered assistants, and the two mansions have only five assistants.That is to say, the number of assistant leaders directly under the jurisdiction of the Pingxi Prince's House is approximately equal to the number of assistant leaders under the jurisdiction of the remaining three kings and two dukes!

However, the Zuo Ling on the books is not equal to the real strength.For example, although Kong Sizhen's Dingfan also had fifteen assistant leaders, these assistant leaders were almost lost when Li Dingguo conquered Guilin.Although it was rebuilt again later, the rebuilt Zuo Ling was no longer the elite who followed Dingnan King Kong Youde to conquer the east and west, and even the number of people was severely discounted.

And those assistant leaders under Wu Sangui's command were originally overstaffed, and many Nanming elites recruited later were filled in, making the rank more substantial.Coupled with many years of reproduction, Ding Zhuanghe's population is far greater than that of Dingfan's Zuoling.

As for the foundation of the Pingnan Palace in Guangdong, although it is not as good as the Pingxi Palace.But they have not experienced the blow of annihilation of the entire army, and Guangdong is much richer than Guangxi, and can support more young men and troops under the vassal, so the Pingfan in Guangdong is also much stronger than the Dingfan in Guangxi.

In addition, under the command of the Ping and Ding vassals, there are still many old ministries who served as generals and deputy generals in Guangdong and Guangxi. It is difficult to control these uncles.

So once Wu Sangui rebelled, the feudal towns and other military leaders in Guangdong and Guangxi would follow suit. Even if Wang Fuchen went south to become the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, it would be difficult to stabilize the situation with Kong Sizhen.

Wang Fuchen also frowned, showing an expression of concern for the country and the people, sighed and said: "It is indeed a bit small, sister Zhen, your fifteen assistants can send up to three thousand troops, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi The maximum bid is 8000. I don’t take a single vacancy, that is, [-] people. Just one Pingfan can pull out tens of thousands of troops!"

Wang Zhongxiao heard his father handed him a speech, and quickly took it over and said: "Father, you are not right. Pingfan, Jingfan, and even Pingxi Wangfu have loyal ministers, and they will follow everywhere to rebel. Others don’t mention it, but the three sons of Ping Fan, Jing Fan, and Ping Xi Fan all wrote letters of loyalty to Obai.”

Wang Fuchen shook his head and said: "They wrote letters to Oboi to express their loyalty, explaining that they are Oboi's people. Now that Oboi has joined Pingxi King, aren't they the Pingxi King's people?"

"Brother Wang, this account can't be calculated like this!" Kong Sizhen's eyes lit up when he heard Wang Zhongxiao's words, "Although they wrote letters of loyalty to Oboi, they were loyal to the imperial court and the Qing Dynasty. Then Wu Yingxiong said in the letter In order to take advantage of Oboi's power and the court's heavenly soldiers to depose his father, heir to the throne in advance, and then cooperate with the court to cut down the vassal!
Where is this Oboi's best friend?He is clearly a loyal minister of the imperial court! "

"What Aunt Zhen said is very true!" Wang Zhongxiao said, "I Da Gong and He Shuo's son-in-law also mean the same thing. The reason why they wrote to Obai is because Obai represented the imperial court before. They are not loyal to Obai. , but loyal to the imperial court!"

Kong Sizhen nodded, "Shi Kai is right, they are loyal to the imperial court." Then she said bitterly: "But the one surnamed Sun is loyal to Oboi and King Ping Xi!"

Seeing Kong Sizhen's angry appearance, Wang Fuchen quickly comforted him softly: "Sister Zhen, don't worry, as long as we can join forces with I Dagong and He Shuo Efu, we will be able to defend Guangdong and Guangxi for the imperial court. With Liangguang in hand, even if Wu Sangui can turn against him , His hometown in Yunnan will not comfort him, and he wants to compete in the Central Plains through Huguangbei, which is wishful thinking!"

Kong Sizhen looked at Wang Fuchen affectionately, "Fortunately, there is Brother Wang, otherwise, I really don't know what to do."

Wang Fuchen smiled and said: "Sister Zhen, we have long been our own people, but we, Prince Hepingxi, I Dagong, and Shuo Efu, haven't joined forces yet!"

"Brother Wang, don't worry," Kong Sizhen said with a smile, "The three of them have always been friends with me, and I am the adopted daughter of the Empress Dowager, as long as I contact you, everyone will be able to unite and be loyal to the Qing Dynasty together!"

Wang Zhongxiao was overjoyed when he heard the words: "This is great, not to mention Prince Pingxi, as long as Aunt Zhen, my father, Al Dagong and Prince Jingnan can work together to protect each other, the land of Tiannan will be safe in the future." Already!"

Rouge Hutong, Lichun Courtyard.

The first-class brothel in the entire Eight Great Hutongs is not a local brothel in Beijing, but a branch of Lichunyuan, the No. [-] brothel in Yangzhou that came from Yangzhou.Different from the "time-honored brands" in Beijing, the staff engaged in special services in Yangzhou's Lichun Courtyard are all women!

There are only younger sisters here, no younger brothers—because when Yangzhou Lichun Hospital opened, Dorgondo Ama, who strictly forbids the Eight Banners and younger sisters from having unspeakable incidents, had already been ashes, so Beijing The brothel next to it can't help the young lady.

However, those "time-honored brands" are slow to adapt to changes, so they still retain many "little brothers" who are glamorous.But the newcomer Lichunyuan has no burden in this regard, so everyone is a young lady.

However, the vassals of the Four Feudal Clans in Beijing and those "newcomers from the Eight Banners" called into the capital from Fujian, Guangdong, and Yunnan are not very used to the service of the "little brothers", so this Lichun Courtyard has become their "paradise". From time to time, they will be booked by these people.

Today, this Lichun Courtyard is booked out again!However, it was not reserved by the retainers of the Four Families or the "newcomers of the Eight Banners", but by Yuan Linjing, the owner of the Lichun Courtyard, and Yuan Erye, who brought his brother Yang Qilong and Yang Sanye out of the bakery to entertain my Da Gongshang Zhixin and He Shuo's Affiliated Geng Jingzhong and their men.

At this moment, the subordinates brought by Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong are having fun with the girls, but Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong themselves are writing in a quiet room on the third floor of Lichun Courtyard with brushes. Writing, this is really elegant!

But Yang Qilong, who is the host today, reminded in a low voice at the side: "Don't be in a hurry, write (copy) slowly, don't make typos, and I will take it to the emperor later."

I replied that Gong Shangzhi had finished writing the letter, so he put down the brush and looked at Yang Qilong worriedly: "Yang San, I have finished writing the letter. But is this really reliable?"

Geng Jingzhong also frowned and said: "If this letter falls into the hands of my Ama, he will definitely abolish my son!"

"No, I can't." Yang Qilong laughed, "How could this letter fall into the hands of King Jingnan? If you two can't trust me, let's go to the royal residence in Tofu Lane together tomorrow morning. You will hand over the letter to Wang Shikai yourself , By the way, give me the silver again!"

"Okay, that's it!"

"Alright, let's go see Wang Shikai tomorrow morning!"

It will be on the shelves on Friday, please make the first order, and add more!Five updates will be issued in a row on Friday, and one hundred more will be added after the first order exceeds a thousand!
