I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 214
The first year of Jianwu in the Ming Dynasty, the 61st year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, 1722 AD.

Since the Jianghuai defense line was captured by the Ming army, the entire Jiangnan and even the south have entered a rare period of stability.

Longkodo was defeated and retreated to Huguang, and now he is stationed in Wuchang Prefecture, preparing to build the entire Wuchang into a frontline position against the puppet Ming Dynasty like Anqing.

Wuchang is not only the capital of Hubei Province, but also the intersection of three rivers in terms of geography and transportation.

This means that Wuchang's water transportation is extremely convenient, and the convenience of transportation means its important strategic position.

Although the previous Anqing was also a large city near the river, it was located on the side of the river bank. Once the troops were empty, it was easy to be raided.

Although he was too impulsive in crossing the river to attack Chizhou, it was also because Anqing's river defense loopholes were too obvious.

But this time, after retreating to Wuchang, he will not make the same mistakes as before.

After the previous offensive and defensive battle in Chizhou, Longkodo found that the Huai army (those Anqing training army) he had trained had better combat effectiveness than the ordinary green camp, but the number of troops was still too small.

Moreover, due to insufficient training, the firearms assembly rate of the entire Huai army is very low, and they basically can only rely on hand-to-hand combat.

This is undoubtedly a fatal flaw for the pseudo-Ming army, which has a large number of firearms and equipment, as well as special firearms and equipment such as explosive bullets that look like magic.

Fortunately, Longkodo also mastered the secret of the false demon spell. On the day he led the army to Wuchang Mansion, Longkodo forcefully took over the entire city defense and bureaucracy of Wuchang.

Man Pi, the governor of Huguang, was unconvinced and wanted to read more of Zhezi Shenlong Ke.As a result, Longkodo beat him to the end on the ground of conspiracy and was imprisoned.

Afterwards, people were sent to search Manpi's mansion. No evidence of Tongming's rebellion was found, but evidence that Manpi took the lead in corruption was found.

These evidences were sent to the capital in a memorial by Long Keduo, and all of Man Pi's corruption proceeds were used as military gestures.

Naqiha, the governor of Hubei, and Wang Zhishu, the governor of Pianyuan (that is, the governor of Hunan), gave in on the spot, and together with the chief envoys of the two lakes, the envoys of the two lakes and other officials, large and small, all turned to Longkodo.

Governor Pianyuan was the governor of Hunan, and his name was officially changed in the second year of Yongzheng's reign.

This Wang Zhishu was considered the last governor of Pianyuan, and he was also an old unlucky man.

Before becoming the governor of Pianyuan, this man had been working in academic affairs and imperial examination examiners in various provinces. It was not until the 56th year of Kangxi that he was specially promoted to the position of governor of Pianyuan.

Then, when Wang Zhishu saw that the taxes in Hunan were too high, he petitioned for a reduction in taxes. As a result, because of his lack of experience in governance, the officials below him went crazy and demanded money, and the court held him accountable.

As the governor, Wang Zhishu naturally took the blame. For five years, he was kicked off the governor without doing anything, and was ordered to make up for the debts owed to Hunan. He was not pardoned until the tenth year of Yongzheng's reign, and died in Hunan in the same year.

It can be said that Longkodo's defeat in Huguang this time actually saved him, because at the latest next year, Hunan's tax deficit case will come to light.

……

Longkodo successfully controlled the two lakes area with the force of his [-] Huai Army, [-] New Army, and [-] Eighth Banner Infantry.

Immediately, Longkodo began to comprehensively eliminate and train Huguang Green Camp.

The previous defeats made him deeply realize that these green soldiers in the south were pure garbage.Not only will they not be able to defeat the pseudo-Ming rebels if they stay, but they will also destroy their own elite soldiers.

After some elimination and training, more than half of the troops in the Huguang Green Camp were converted into civilian laborers and hard labor.

Although these people are all old and weak in the army, they have been properly trained after all. Even if their combat effectiveness is extremely poor, they are still better than ordinary people.

If we really have to be dismissed, trouble will probably happen.

Ok!

Longkodo was completely unaware of the consequences of destroying the original local garrison system through such large-scale elimination and training.

While comprehensively eliminating the Huguang Green Camp and training new ones, Longkodo also referred to the previous Huai Army and simultaneously recruited and expanded the army in the two lakes areas.

The names of the new armies have already been decided, and they will be named after the Huai Army. The one in Hubei will be called E Army (Wuchang was called Ezhou in the Tang and Song Dynasties), and the one in Hunan will be called Hunan Army.

The Hunan Army came out ahead of schedule. .

The future army model is tentatively determined to be the Eight Banners Infantry as the core, and will gradually transform into Marshal Talong's private army.

The green camp eliminated and trained the new army into elites. After all, they were professional soldiers, and their foundation must be better. Then the Huai Army, Hubei Army, and Hunan Army recruited from local places were the main force.

According to Longkodo's estimate, at least [-] troops must be trained in the two lakes area, so that they can withstand the attack of the puppet Ming rebels.

As for counterattacking back, I'm afraid it still depends on the court and the emperor.After all, the most elite Northwest Frontier Army of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners of Zhili, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, the Eight Banners of Shengjing, and the Sauron Army have not moved yet.

……

While Longkodo was intensively accumulating strength, recruiting and training troops, and reorganizing armaments in the Huguang area, the north was almost in chaos.

Yongzheng finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the previous extravagance was completely out of control as soon as it fell into place.

Not even a cent of the money was confiscated, almost all the four provinces of Shanhe and Shanhe were forced to rebel.

In particular, Liu Ruhan, the rebel "King of Han" from Henan's Bagua cult, took this opportunity to make a comeback and has now escaped to Shanxi.

Relying on his familiarity with Shanxi's local area and his network of connections in Shanxi's official circles, Liu Ruhan was like a dragon in the sea.

Deyin, the governor of Shanxi, was encircled and suppressed with all his strength, but he was unable to do anything to defeat Liu Ruhan. Instead, his territory was eaten away bit by bit by Liu Ruhan's Han army.

Henan next door was not much better. With the help of the government, Gao Wenlong's Bagua sect fought back and forth with Tian Wenjing's army in Henan.

Henan Province, which was already severely damaged, was now completely thrown into chaos.

The same is true for Shandong Province. The only good thing is that chaos did not break out in Zhili.

No, it should be said that there was also chaos, but it was noticed by Li Wei, who had just been taught the Zhiliyi missionary for a while, and then the rebellion was put down smoothly.

In order to quell public dissatisfaction, Li Wei killed all the local officials who had been randomly assigned.

Well, cut it first and tell it later.

This kind of courage is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Then, Li Wei was recalled by Yongzheng. Not only was he not punished, but he was directly promoted to the governor of Zhili based on his merit.

It just so happened that Zhao Hongxie, the former governor of Zhili Province (the stupid one who wrote in a newspaper to report that it was raining again when nothing happened, the governor of Hebei reported to the emperor in Beijing that it was raining...) had just died of illness, and the connection was seamless.

Afterwards, a large army was urgently dispatched from Zhili to Shandong to quell the rebellion. It was not only the rebellion in Shandong that threatened Zhili, but also the Duke Yansheng in Shandong.

Speaking of which, thanks to Zhu Yijiong's decree and the unremitting efforts of the Propaganda Department, Kong Yuqi, the Duke of Yansheng of this generation, finally lived up to expectations and was pissed to death.

I can’t say I’m mad to death!
It's just that he was old and sick, and the rumors were widely compiled by Emperor Zhu's newspaper, and there were even some things that couldn't be told.

For example, Beikong still worships the Dacheng Supreme Saint Wenxuan King of the Yuan Dynasty, instead of the Dacheng Supreme Saint Wenxuan Master who was renamed by Kangxi.

Moreover, there are actually gold pillars carved with dragons in the Kong family ancestral hall, which is a big violation!
Although Fayu Temple in Zhejiang also has golden pillars carved with dragons, they were given by Emperor Kangxi, and no one in your Yanshenggong family gave them to them.

So what do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?
Coincidentally, the general who was sent to Shandong this time to lead troops to counter the rebellion was none other than Jueluo Manbao, the former governor-general of Fujian and Zhejiang who had been implicated in the Taiwan incident and was out of work in Beijing for almost half a year.

Relying on the "loyal, honest and honest" image created by the previous incident in Taiwan, especially after being dismissed by Kangxi and staying at home.On the contrary, Jueluo Manbao became a person who knew soldiers well and could be used in Yongzheng's eyes.

Wu Sidao's psychological speculation about Kangxi and even the next emperor Yongzheng was indeed correct.

In other words, which emperor doesn’t like to have ministers who are both capable, loyal and honest?
With Jueluo Manbao getting a blessing in disguise, he made a successful comeback.

Yongzheng looked at his Qing Dynasty, which was surrounded by wars, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

early june.

Yongzheng strongly opposed all opinions in the court and ordered to mobilize the northwest frontier troops from Shaanxi and Gansu into the interior to quell the rebellion.

First pacify the Bagua sect, and then pacify the hypocrites and Ming rebels.

Of course, not all of them will be transferred back, only [-] to [-] will be transferred back.

It is unrealistic to transfer them all back. After all, the Qing Dynasty is not full of food and will not station 24 troops in Northwest Tun for no reason.

The garrison of such a large number of troops can only show that Junggar is dead but not dead.

If all the northwest frontier troops are really withdrawn, the garrison in Shaanxi and Gansu alone will not be able to stop Cewang Alabutan.

Once Guanzhong is lost, Zhili cannot be saved.
