Chapter 117: The Expedition

Ning Yu with tens of thousands of horses and soldiers in Puqi, this move could not be concealed from the governor of Hunan Zhang Changen, he heard the news at this time, frightened, and hurriedly sent an urgent delivery to the imperial court, begging for reinforcements to be sent quickly.

After all, Zhang Changen has really fought with the Fu Han army, so he naturally does not think that the 20,000 green battalions he led can withstand the onslaught of the 10,000 troops on the opposite side, when he led 30,000 horses to storm Huang Fengshan, he saw the strength of the Fu Han army, not only the strength of the armament, but more importantly, the spirit of the other party, which is much stronger than those green battalions that eat and wait for death.

When the emergency arrived in the capital, Kangxi's choice was destined to make Zhang Changen desperate, because at this time, Kangxi's heart was full of hope that Zhang Changen could take the green battalion to stick to Yuezhou, so that the 50,000 Eight Banners army from the Beijing Division, together with the soldiers and horses of the four provinces of the Green Battalion of the Liangjiang Governor Bina, with a force of 150,000 people, could directly attack Wuchang and exterminate Chu Wei.

But if this abacus wants to be played well, Zhang Changen's 20,000 horses must also be used, even if the 20,000 green battalions are all exhausted, they can play their due role, stimulated by this idea, Kangxi also quickly replied to his will.

"Zhang Changen is diligent in state affairs, and his eyes are dazzling, and at the moment, it is important to stick to Yuezhou, and do not indulge the enemy to the south." The subtext is naturally to take your life to defend Yuezhou, no matter whose life it is, you must keep it. If you can't keep it, then you, Lord Zhang, should apologize with death.

Yes, this reply almost cut off all Zhang Changen's thoughts, he trembled and thanked Tian'en, but his heart was bleak, in the eyes of this court, as long as it is a Han person, then he can die.

However, at this time, Kangxi smelled an opportunity from it, that genius young general, whether it was true or not, since he had already left Wuchang and went south to attack Yuezhou, it was also an excellent signal for his own side, indicating that Chu Reyi's troops had been divided! Then the current expedition to Wuchang is also a good opportunity!

At this time, the atmosphere in the study was faintly strange, and the ministers looked at Emperor Kangxi who was excited at this time, but they couldn't help but worry about Kangxi, whether this body and bones would be hung up because of this pro-Zheng, but no one dared to persuade him anymore.

This is also because from the very beginning, after Kangxi issued an order to personally conquest, the opposition came like a river, and the university scholar Wang Luo took the lead in opposing it, not to mention, as well as Tao Yi, Ren Ping, Fan Changfa, Zou Tuyun, Chen Jiayou, Wang Yunjin, Li Yunfu, Gao Jue, Gao Yi, Zhao Chengqi, Sun Shao and other imperial court histories, which were also discouraged, and almost the entire imperial court changed color for a while.

However, in this matter, Kangxi did not give these ministers a good face, even if he scolded Wang Shu, and demoted his sons Zhan Shi, Wang Yiqing and Tao Yi and other twelve people to extra Zhang Jing and sent them to serve in the Northwest Army. Wang Luo was already old, and he had no shame to be an official in the imperial court after this blow, so he went home directly and thought about it behind closed doors.

After such a thing, no one dared to stop it, although Emperor Kangxi was gray-haired and old, but his heart was like a teenager, full of thoughts about rebuilding his merits and becoming an emperor through the ages.

Although the vast majority of ministers are opposed to this matter, the old and important ministers of the Qing court, such as Li Guangdi and others, have passed away, and now ministers like Tian Congdian, Zhang Pengxi, Chen Pengnian and Zhang Tingyu do not have much voice and influence, and after Wang Luo was slapped, no one dared to stop him for a while.

Kangxi looked at the map on the wall, but his heart was churning, sometimes thinking that Ningyu's men and horses had broken through Hunan and forced Liangguang, and sometimes he thought that he had personally conquered and invaded Wuchang, and then he would have to come to Yangzhou again for ten days, and warn the whole world with the blood of the Han people, thinking about it would be a little stupid.

It must not be allowed to invade Hunan, let alone let it go east and go straight to the south of the Yangtze River! If the war spreads to the entire south, I am afraid that there will be no more peace in this world. Thinking of this, Kangxi had the heart to give an order to Cha Bina, asking him to lead the green battalion soldiers and horses of Jiangnan, Jiangxi, Anhui, and Zhejiang provinces to block Ningyu first.

But as soon as the idea arose, Kangxi gave up again, if he just ate Ning Yu's way, I am afraid that he will startle the snake, and I am afraid that it will mess up the rules and regulations at that time, so that Chu Shun has an opportunity to take advantage of!

Thinking of this, Emperor Kangxi's thoughts flew into the distance again, and now that he already knows Ning Yu's movements, he will press him in Hunan, and then let Zha Bina and Nian Qianyao go hand in hand, and then bring 50,000 eight banners from Xinyang to Wuchang, and under the attack from three sides, it is just a matter of killing Chu Rebellious.

With this thought, Kangxi immediately issued an order and began to make arrangements in various ways.

"The battle situation is changing rapidly, and the two of them have been ordered to send troops at this time, when Wuchang is pacified in one fell swoop, they will suppress Chu Rebellion! This military situation, do not spread it, if the news is leaked, be held accountable immediately. ”

On the one hand, Emperor Kangxi warned several ministers in the study, and on the other hand, he also put this sentence into his will, he did not want to make any more twists and turns, he just wanted to defeat Wuchang in one fell swoop, and then destroy Chu Yi. Only in this way can his holy name not fall, but add a little more brilliance.

Bai Huang, the Han Shangshu of the Ministry of War, wanted to brush up a wave of existence in Kangxi's heart, and also stood up and said: "Tell the emperor, with the shallow knowledge of the slaves, this arrangement must be used as a plough to sweep the holes, and uproot the Chu rebellion, but the Chu rebellion all the way to Hunan cannot be indulged, the 10,000 soldiers and horses are elite, if they are indulged, I am afraid that it will turn the world upside down in the south." ”

"In the simple view of the slaves, it is better to let Guangdong and Guangxi send troops to the north road and strengthen Hunan, so that under the invasion of the army, the green battalions of the three provinces will be gathered, and how can Chu Reverse survive?"

These words made Kangxi feel a little more appreciative in his heart, nodded slightly, and then advised: "The period when the Liangguang Green Battalion enters Hunan must not be too early, otherwise Chu will return to Wuchang, won't this ingenious calculation be in vain?" At that time, I am afraid that the world will never be at peace. ”

In the heart of Kangxi, the great strategist, this time he was bound to win, not only to eliminate Wuchang Chuyi, but also to eliminate Ningyu Chuwei all the way, so he started a military education class for the ministers, repeatedly emphasizing the key to this plan.

All the ministers knelt down at the same time below, and began to hype up Kangxi, only to boast that Kangxi was the first saint in ancient and modern times, but at this time, Emperor Kangxi was unaware, but a little complacent, and told the ministers from time to time, "This plan must not be spread outside, and when it is successful in the coming day, I should drink celebration wine with the soldiers!" ”
