"Your Majesty, it has been half a year since the battle to attack Jiangning, but Jiangning is still in the hands of Haikou." He leaned next to Kangxi, with no respect on his face.

"Oh?" No matter how smart the eight-year-old Huangkou child is, after all, he only has pockmarks, and he raised his head with a questioning expression.

"At the beginning of my entry into the Qing Dynasty, Nanjing was taken in just one day, and Aobai fought for half a year, but he couldn't beat it." Ji Bilong didn't say anything, just waited for Kangxi to ask. Hearing this, the waiters next to him consciously retreated.

"So, why is that?"

"Nanjing opens the city in one day, even if Haikou is too Hongguang remnants, like Yangzhou, it can break the city in a month or two, but the eighty-first day of Jiangyin has passed, and Aobai has consumed nearly one million taels of silver from the imperial court, but it can't even conquer a city gate!"

"Huh?" Kangxi's young head gurgled and turned, "But Ao Bai is the first Baturu in Manchuria who was sealed by the emperor's ancestor, if even he can't take it down, then who else can take it down?" ”

"Does Your Majesty know about the Chenqiao Mutiny?"

"Of course I know. Zhao Kuangyin led his troops out to defend against foreign enemies, but when he arrived at Chenqiao, Zhao Kuangyin returned to Kaifeng with his troops, bullied orphans and widows, and ascended to the throne. ”

"But, what do you mean by this, is it true that my soldiers of the Great Qing Dynasty are now in the hands of one of them? What's more, the soldiers of the Eight Banners have families in Kyoto, so why rebel against him? ”

Kangxi didn't know that Wu Sangui would rebel even if he didn't want his own son, if he knew, he would definitely laugh dumbly.

"But Your Majesty, if you kill all the families of these people, you can't do it...... Alas! Your Majesty doesn't know that since I entered the customs of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners have been fighting everywhere, although there are many victories and few defeats, but also a lot of bannermen. ”

"Isn't there a savage girl to add?"

"Your Majesty, the savage Jurchen lives in the depths of the mountains and forests, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and now there is only the north of the Heilongjiang River, and there is still a little east of it. In the land of Longxing in Manchuria, the cattle left were less than forty. ”

"And my Qing Dynasty was unfavorable last year, and I sent dozens of cattle records to supplement the south. Most of the people who remain in Beijing are Yu Ding, and their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of regular soldiers. Without grain in the south, the capital will have to run out of grain in about half a year! ”

"But didn't Jiang Jiu, Jin Shenghuan, Li Chengdong and others also rebel? The result is a ruined reputation. What about Aobai? ”

"Your Majesty, that's not the case! The green battalions brought by these people are all left behind by the previous Ming Dynasty, and the combat effectiveness is unknown, but I rebelled within the Eight Banners, and maybe many people are delusional... I don't know if Your Majesty has ever heard of a word called Qingjun's side? ”

"Qingjun's side ......"

This is the period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, and he used this name to force Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty to kill Chao Cuo, the so-called Qing Jun side, but the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu still rebelled. Since then, the Anshi Rebellion and the Battle of Jingyan have all used this name. ”

It is clear that Kangxi has no real power at this time. But it's also good to pour some poisonous chicken soup into the emperor. He actually thought in his heart that Aobai would not let Zhu Chenggong go, so he led a large army to the north to seize power--- this probability was similar to Aobai taking Nanjing and directly establishing the Southern Qing Dynasty. However, if Ao Bai defeated the Hui Dynasty with great achievements, who could stop this Ao Bai who accepted the Eight Banners in the upper three lower and five rear banners full of protégés and old officials?

To the south, there's another one that's still gratifying.

Run him? What are you kidding, can you still disown the list of his military exploits? Once recognized, gratitude is given to him, and if he does not admit it, resentment can be transferred to other auxiliary ministers, among whom Suppilon, who is now overpowering the old Sonny and Sukh Saha, who was previously attached to Dorgon, is the main point of fire.

The story of Huo Guang and Shangguan Ji may happen quickly to him.

And he is Shangguan Ji.

He didn't know that the child in front of him fought to death in the later generations, defeated Aobai, recovered Taiwan, and defeated Junggaria.

Therefore, from the point of view of Compilon, Curb Pilon had to try to replace Aobai, and in this regard, Curb Pilon racked his brains and decided to use the crime governor scheme.

But there is still a lot of work to be done before that.

Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong with the Shang Fang Sword, and let the current emperor send the Shang Fang Sword to send the Qin Mission, his own strength is still not enough--- he can't even reach Huang Taiji's ability to suppress Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai, and if no part of the people pass, the emperor can't issue this order. He is well aware that power fundamentally comes from below, not from above.

Even if other people can realize the energy that Ao Bai possesses, then the candidates of the Chin Cha can also make these people beat the dog's brain! Before we can deal with the external enemy, we have to deal with the internal enemy in the DPRK and China.

Shunzhi's edict set four auxiliary ministers, naturally to check and balance each other. But perhaps out of a coma, Shunzhi forgot the fact that Aobai was in control of the army at this time. He used his advantage in the court to gradually squeeze out the two, so that the Qing court gradually fell into internal strife.

……

In May, the amount of treasury bonds issued by the household department reached 3 million taels of silver, more than double the income of the previous year. The national debt concentrated a large amount of resources in the hands of the imperial court, and at the same time gradually caused inflation in Ava, Zhongxing, Kunming, Dali and other places.

After Zhu Youlang's several reforms, Jinyiwei gradually took on the rudiments of an intelligence agency in later generations, and was more adept at understanding intelligence with the open situation. Zhu Youlang not only did not care about inflation, but also clapped his hands---- the price revolution would reduce the income of the landlords, and even if they did not adopt a fixed rent, it could be "adjusted" by increasing taxes.

Forcibly lowering the price of grain and then imposing higher taxes would have led to the result of driving the peasants into the cities or making the landlords unprofitable, and the massive inflow of silver would have prevented the financial strain caused by the exhaustion of the fishing.

As for the danger, Zhu Youlang's response method is Xianjun. No one has any objection to this resolution, even in the early days of Chongzhen, the regular army with sparse combat effectiveness could beat the rogue in various places, not to mention the more than 20,000 new troops that have been trained now. Using the national debt and industrial and commercial taxes, the Ming army had reached ten field regiments (of which the fourth, seventh, eighth, and tenth were shelf regiments), five national regiments (all distributed in Yunnan), and three security regiments (all distributed in Burma). 30,000 rifles, hundreds of artillery pieces, and thousands of rockets, even if they really don't control their strength, can extinguish the spontaneous rebellion. This army, even if it is the national army, is drilled twice a week, and in this era, it can slightly surpass the Eight Banners of Manchuria. If Zhu Youlang does not pursue industrialization, then these 30,000 people can immediately beat people with two fists, go north to Sichuan, and go east to Guangxi, at least until Nanjing falls, Zhu Youlang's advance will not encounter any major obstacles.
