Because of the relationship between the distance and the speed of the message transmission, when the team sent by Shang Lao Han and Yue Le to Beijing was still carrying Geng Juzhong around Fujian and slowly shaking north, it was also the blessing of the efficient transmission of the post station that Lai Kang Mazi had strictly prepared in order to deal with Wu Lao Han Jian, and it was only on April 26 that Geng Jingzhong pulled up the anti-flag and colluded with Taiwan's Zheng Jing and the Guangdong Qing army at the junction of Fujian and Guangdong, and the news had been sent to the capital of the Qing Dynasty and to Kang Mazi, the supreme chief of the Mite Qing Dynasty.

Hearing the news, Kang Mazi, who was still immersed in the pain of being killed by the idiot, was completely paralyzed, and went crazy again, jumped up and kicked the pseudo-dragon case over again, stared at the numb eyes, and yelled hysterically, "Geng Jingzhong, dog thief!" Dog brute! Dog daring! I won't cut you with a thousand knives, and I swear not to be a human being! Swear not to be a man! ”

"It's the other way around! It's the other way around! The dog barbarians are all reversed, Wu Sangui's old thief is reversed, Geng Jingzhong's dog thief is also reversed, and Kong Sizhen's bitch is also missing, all of them have abandoned me! All the men and barbarians in the world are thieves, all dog thieves, and all wolf cubs who can't be raised! Dog brute! Get lost! Get out of here! Get out of here! Even if all the Han barbarians in the world turn against me, I am not afraid! My Eight Banners Iron Cavalry will kill you all over the house, cut you with thousands of knives, and put you to death! I'm not afraid! Come on! Come on! Give it all to me! Dog brute! Dog barbarians! ”

Seeing Kang Mazi angry like this, Kang Mazi Suo, Mingzhu, Feng Pu, Zhang Ying, Gao Shiqi and others present were all with their foreheads on the ground, lying on the ground in the south study trembling, all of them had sad faces, and they were at a loss, and they didn't even have the courage to speak to persuade Kang Mazi to stop his anger. There is no way, Geng Jingzhong is so reversed, and the already extremely bad situation of the Qing Dynasty is even worse, the money, grain and silver obtained by the tyrannical expropriation, knocking out the bones and sucking the marrow, and the new army that was finally reorganized and did not have time to train, most of them have to be put into the southeast battlefield, and the suppression and pacification of Wu Sangui's rebellion is even more far away.

For the Mite Qing court, the most terrible point is that Geng Jingzhong's rebels went north to Zhejiang, directly destroying the Jiangnan provinces, the first place of money and food that threatened the mite Qing court.

"Shang Kexi, Yue Le, dog thief! Rubbish! Idiot! Like a crazy roar and scolding, Kang Mazi, who likes to shirk responsibility, naturally also pointed the finger at the poor Prince An and the old prince, kicking the pseudo-dragon case and scolding, "What did I say when you left Beijing? How did I explain? Thousands of instructions and instructions, if you want to temporarily stabilize Geng Jingzhong's dog thief, temporarily stabilize Geng Jingzhong's dog thief, you just don't listen! Just don't listen! is to force Geng Jingzhong to rebel against the dog thief, that is, to force him to rebel! Have you ever taken my will to heart? Did you do it on purpose? ”

"Do you deliberately want to help Geng Jingzhong's dog thief and Wu Sangui's old thief to overturn my dragon chair and ruin my country? Did you do it on purpose? Is it intentional? Dog thief! Idiot! Rubbish! Idiot! ”

I don't know how long it has passed, until Kang Mazi roared to the point that his throat was hoarse, he roared until his chest broke, and he sat back on the pseudo-dragon chair and couldn't scold anymore, Mingzhu took two steps forward on his knees, kowtowed cautiously and said: "Master, please don't worry, Geng Jingzhong's dog thief has already had a trace, the master is far-sighted, and he has already arranged heavy troops in southern and eastern Zhejiang to prepare for defense, even if Geng Jingzhong's dog thief tries to go north, it is not so easy to enter the hinterland of Zhejiang." Moreover, Geng Jingzhong's dog thief soldiers and horses are far less majestic than Wu Sangui's old thief, even if there is Taiwan's Zheng Zheng to help, it is just a drop in the bucket, and he can't afford to turn over the big storms, and the master only needs to send a general to lead the army south, and the pacification of the Fujian rebellion is just around the corner. ”

"It's easy to say, send a general south? What about the soldiers and horses? Kang Mazi asked weakly: "Where did the soldiers and horses come from?" Of the more than 400,000 Qing troops, more than 200,000 were pinned down by Wu Sangui's thieves in Huguang, Shaanxi and Jiangxi, and the remaining 200,000 or so troops were surrounded in Guangdong, and the remaining 100,000 had to defend Jiangnan, Rakshasa and Chahar, and had to guard the local Gonggong to defend Gyeonggi. You're conjuring up tricks for me? ”

"Master, you can draw troops from the Huguang battlefield." Mingzhu is worthy of being the first hawk under the command of Kang Mazi, and immediately replied: "50,000 troops from the Huguang battlefield will be transferred down the Yangtze River Canal, and it will be possible to reach Hangzhou in less than half a month, plus the 30,000 troops of the local banner soldiers in Zhejiang, it is more than enough to pacify Geng Jingzhong's dog thieves." ”

"Fart!" Kang Mazi was furious and said angrily: "What should I do if I transfer troops from the Huguang battlefield to the south, and Wu Sangui old thief takes the opportunity to cross the river?" ”

"The slave is foolish, Wu Sangui's old thief may not have the courage to dare to take the opportunity to cross the river." Mingzhu was shocked, and said in a deep voice: "First, Wu Sangui's old thief's naval army has not yet been trained and mature, and boats are scarce, even if 50,000 infantry and cavalry are transferred from the Huguang battlefield, as long as the elite of my Daqingshui Division is still there, even if Wu thief forcibly crosses the river, the chances of victory are also not great." Second, the rear of the Wu thieves is not stable, and there are Dong Weiguo's 60,000 troops in Nanchang, even if the Wu thieves forcibly cross the river successfully, the main force does not dare to go north easily, and they also have to defeat the Jiangxi garrison first and dare to go north with all their might. ”

"And a third." Mingzhu paused, and reminded softly: "I don't know if the master still remembers the watch seal sent by Wu Sangui's old thief twenty days ago?" ”

"The watch?" Kang Mazi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately came back to his senses and asked, "Is it that Wu Sangui old thief asked the palace to relocate that song?" ”

"Back to the master, it is this seal." Mingzhu kowtowed and said solemnly: "Judging from the fact that Wu Sangui old thief asked the palace to move to Hengzhou, Wu Sangui's old thief has a great intention of separating the southwest and establishing himself as the emperor, and he may not really have the heart to plot the Central Plains, and Hengzhou is far away from the Yangtze River. ”

"Really?" Kang Mazi began to be tempted, and began to think about the possibility of defeating Geng Jingzhong and Wu Laohan.

"Master, don't do that." Suo Etu knelt down and said loudly: "My number one national thief in the Qing Dynasty is Wu Sangui, not Geng Jingzhong, if the master does not distinguish between priorities and tolerates the thief for the sake of a Fujian thief, it will only give Wu Sangui's old thief an opportunity to break through the defense line of the Yangtze River in my Qing Dynasty, the Yangtze River is in danger, and the Central Plains is in danger!" Besides, Wu Sangui's old thief is scheming, the so-called relocation of the palace and the southward movement of troops may also be his plan to show the enemy! ”

"Suo Xiang, I'm really embarrassed." Mingzhu said unconvinced: "The latest military intelligence report shows that Wu Gou has already started the construction of the palace in Hengzhou, and the scale is not small, if Wu Sangui's old thief insists on crossing the river and going north, then what is he doing in Hengzhou to repair the palace?" He has so much money and silver that he has nowhere to put it? ”

"That might just be Wu Sangui's old thief's palace!" Suo Etu didn't give an inch, and immediately retorted: "If Ming Xiang thinks that Wu Sangui's old thief will be safe when he goes south to Hengzhou, then he is very wrong - a few days ago, even the officials of the Ministry of Rites who had never been on the battlefield reminded their masters that Wu Sangui's old thief moved the palace to Hengzhou, and it was likely that he was annexing the southern part of Jiangxi and opening up the idea of connecting with Geng Jingzhong's dog thief by land. Ming Xiang, as the secretary of the military department (mite book) and a cabinet scholar, doesn't he even understand such a simple truth? ”

"Wu Sangui's old thief wants to annex the southern part of Jiangxi, so let him fight it." Mingzhu sneered and said: "The southern part of Jiangxi is mountainous and forested, sparsely populated and the roads are difficult, this official still wishes that he would put heavy troops into that place, even if he opens up the land connection with Geng Jingzhong's dog thieves, he will only waste his troops in the inconsequential battlefield of southern Jiangnan, and the precious manpower, material and financial resources are also wasted on the mountain roads, and the battle line will be stretched and the forces will be scattered." And our Qing army is backed by the Yangtze River waterway, and it is easy to transport troops and grain, which just breaks the various departments of Wugou. ”

"Who said that Wu Sangui's old thief must put heavy troops into Gannan?" Suo Etu continued to retort even more unconvinced: "Wu Sangui's old thief can divide an army to open up southern Jiangnan, and the main force will take the opportunity to cross the river, once Wu Gou gains a firm foothold on the north bank of the Yangtze River, then my Central Plains and Jiangnan in the Qing Dynasty will be in danger!" ”

"Is the old thief Wu Sangui sure to break through the blockade of my Great Clear Water Division?" Mingzhu simply roared, "I have made it very clear just now, the Wu Dog Naval Division was newly established, and the boats and boats were scarce, even if the master transferred horsemen and infantry from the Huguang battlefield, as long as the Naval Division was still there, Wu Gou would not be so easy to cross the river." ”

"Then what if the main forces of the Qing Dynasty fall into a war of attrition in Fujian?" Suo Etu also roared, "Jiangxi is mountainous, but Fujian is not mountainous?" Geng Jingzhong's dog thieves have been operating here for many years, the city is high and deep, and it is easy to break, once the main force of my Qing Dynasty falls into the battlefield of Fujian, wouldn't Wu Sangui old thief have to laugh and crook his mouth? ”

"What then?" Mingzhu roared again, "You can't watch Geng Jingzhong's dog thieves invade Zhejiang and destroy my ...... source of money and food." ”

"Shut up! Shut up! Kang Mazi, who was holding back the evil fire in his heart, roared, "One more presumptuous, let's launch the noon gate and behead together!" ”

"The slave is guilty of dishonorment." Mingzhu and Suo Etu, who were scolded by Kang Mazi like this, blushed and had thick necks, remembered that they were in the south study, and quickly kowtowed together and closed their mouths together.

"This is my south study, not a vegetable market! One of you is the chief assistant of the imperial court, and the other is the secretary of the military department, what kind of system is it like this? Kang Mazi took the opportunity to attack, Ma Yan was furious, Mingzhu and Suo Etu sweated like pulp, and kowtowed again and again. Finally, when Kang Mazi had vented enough, Kang Mazi pointed to the latest favorite Zhang Ying and asked, "Zhang Ying, you say, what is your opinion?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Weichen is a civil minister, he doesn't understand military affairs, and he doesn't dare to make indiscriminate plans and disturb the holy hearing." Zhang Ying kowtowed, and said cautiously: "But Weichen just wants to remind the emperor of two things, one is that I have made a detailed investigation report, and the Wu dog firearms battalion is moving to the Biyuan Jijia Mountain, and the other is that the emperor promised to give Wu thieves military salaries, money and food, and thirty percent has not been paid. ”

"Hey, how did I forget these two things?" Kang Mazi suddenly remembered these two important situations, and immediately began to calculate in his heart, "Although Wu Gou's firearms are sharp, but the consumption is huge, and his firearms battalion is currently being relocated, and the output of firearms is bound to be small, and it will definitely be difficult to launch a large-scale offensive." There is also the military salary and food I promised to Wu Gou, and there are tens of millions of taels of silver and 1.5 million stone of food that have not been given, if Wu Gou provokes the war again at this time, this money and grain will be in the soup, with the greed of Wu Sangui's old thief, is he willing to not want this money and food? ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Kang Mazi finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said: "Spread the decree, order Mahada, the deputy commander of the Yellow Banner, to lead the Manchurian officers and soldiers and the Chahar Xiao cavalry, a total of 15,000 people, to go south to Wenzhou in the starry night to prevent Geng Jingzhong's dog thieves from attacking Zhejiang in the north. On the way, 2,000 soldiers stationed in Hangzhou can be dispatched to help in the battle. ”

"Master, this is our last reserve." Suo Etu was shocked and reminded: "If General Mahada takes this army south again, my Qing Dynasty Gyeonggi will be empty." ”

"Spread the decree again." Kang Mazi didn't pay attention to Suo Etu's reminder, but continued to issue an edict: "Order him to prepare ships and weapons, select 50,000 cavalry elite soldiers for backup, and as soon as he has a will, he will immediately go down the river to quell the Fujian thief rebellion!" ”

"Master, Gyeonggi is empty." Suo Etu almost didn't cry, and hurriedly reminded again: "There is also the Huguang battlefield, that is the top priority." ”

"So what do you say?" Kang Mazi couldn't bear it anymore and roared again, and shouted: "Do you want me to beg Geng Jingzhong to be a dog thief, beg him not to rebel, and then send another 35 million taels of silver and 5 million stone military rations to Wu Sangui's old thief, and beg him to rest his army temporarily?" ”

Suo Etu was speechless, and Kang Mazi ordered with a blushing face: "Give Tuhai's will, let Jieshu do the edict, and stay in Huguang after the decree is announced, waiting for my will to send troops." In addition, I sent a decree to Yue Le and Shang Kexi, ordering the two of them to send troops from Guangdong to the north, and I gave them three months, and the decree was that within three months, I would not take back Chaozhou and Zhangzhou to threaten the hinterland of Geng thieves, and I would not spare them! The two pieces of waste were all good deeds they did, and they forced me into this dilemma! ”

The ministers trembled and kowtowed to receive the order, and went to the order according to the order, Kang Mazi sat back in the pseudo-dragon chair, looking up at the floating algae on the beam above his head in a daze, and only scolded Yue Le and the old man for being incompetent and stupid, and taking the wrong medicine to force Geng Jingzhong to rebel, causing him to not even have a chance to breathe, and just temporarily stabilized Wu Lao Han and started a war with Geng Jingzhong. It was also at this time that Kang Mazi once again regretted that he did not listen to Xiaozhuang's bitter words, and did not appease Wu Laohan with sincerity, but listened to Xiong Ci's nonsense, which was self-defeating and angered Wu Laohan again, so that now he is not sure that he wants to stabilize Wu Laohan and kill Geng Jingzhong first.

At the same time, a more difficult choice was also put in front of Kang Mazi, whether to transfer troops from the Huguang battlefield to Fujian to quell Geng Jingzhong's rebellion?

………………

The next time, Kang Mazi sent envoys to issue edicts for the three decrees, and Mahada, the deputy commander of the Zhenghuang Banner of Mite Prefecture, who was the first to receive the order, did not dare to slack off, and immediately led Kang Mazi's last reserve army of 15,000 troops in the Gyeonggi area to the south, and rushed to Zhejiang to fight the fire at night to prevent Geng Jingzhong from entering the rich land of Mite Qing. And after Mahada's army set off, the dilemma of the Qing court in terms of transferring troops and sending generals was completely exposed to the people of the world, and the specific situation was critical? -- Even the soldiers of the Mite Prefecture who guarded the gates of the inner city, which were only used for mites to live in, were just fourteen or five-year-old mite children! (Historical facts, in "Qing Historical Materials", Volume 1, page 205.) ）

Such a scene, naturally it is impossible to hide from the eyes of people with a heart, seeing that the troops of the Qing Dynasty in the capital have been empty to this point, Yang Qilong, who has done beautiful things in Yanjing City in history, will inevitably be moved in his heart, and the famous Drum Tower Incident naturally began to brew and ferment. But what Yang Qilong never dreamed of was that he was not the only one who also discovered this situation and had a different heart, but also a fine work sent by Bulni, the prince of the Chahar tribe of Mongolia! Although this guy's fame is not very big, it is a pity that thanks to the blessing of the shameless mite relic drama, Lu Fatzi happens to know this handsome Mongolian guy who made Zhou Peigong and Tu Hai famous in a battle............

………………

If things develop according to the expectations of Yue Le monk Lao Han Annihilation, and wait for their recital and human testimony Geng Juzhong to be sent to Yanjing City, then the anxious Kang Mazi will agree to their suggestion and try to appease Geng Jingzhong, who hastily raised troops, and Geng Jingzhong, who was forced to raise troops by mistake for his own interests, is likely to accept Kang Mazi's appeasement, and temporarily be honest after getting a little benefit, and create a little respite for Kang Mazi. But it's a pity that there is a bad breed named Lu Yifeng who is a good player, and he sent a bad idea to Wu Lao Han J from Wuzhou, so Wu Lao Han J's recital was expedited through the six hundred miles of the Mites Qing Post Station, and it was sent to the capital in advance and to Kang Mazi in advance.

What is extremely vicious is that Wu Lao Han Annihilation's recital is Mingfa, before it was sent to Kang Mazi, the general political envoys of the Qing Dynasty, the military department, and the large and small post stations passing along the way already knew the content of this recital, and the content was even more vicious - Wu Lao Han reported to Kang Mazi that Wang Yuele of Qing'an County colluded with Shang Kexi, King of Pingnan, Geng Jingzhong, King of Jingnan, and Bulni, Prince of Chahar of Mongolia, in an attempt to usurp the throne and change the Yuan Yongzheng!

By the way, a situation that I forgot just now, the eldest daughter of our Prince An Yue Le (no name recorded) is married to a Mongolian prince, and this Mongolian prince happens to be called Bulni - this is something that our fat man Lu accidentally discovered when he was studying Yue Le's situation.

As the number one loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, the prince of Pingxi is naturally not indiscriminately planted falsely, and there is also evidence and material evidence in reporting the attempt of Yue Le, the prince of An. Our prince of Pingxi said to Kang Mazi that it was half a month ago, Prince An suddenly sent a secret messenger to Wuchang, asking Prince Pingxi to raise troops to the east and attack Jiangxi, and Prince An said that he had contacted Geng Jingzhong, King of Jingnan, Shang Kexi, King of Pingnan, and Burni, Prince of Chahar, and was ready to attack and invade the flowers and rivers of our Kangxi Tartar Emperor together. After the matter was completed, Yue Le ascended the throne and called the emperor to change the Yuan Yongzheng, sent the two provinces of Huguang and Jiangxi to the prince of Pingxi, allowed the prince of Pingxi to be the emperor in the southwest, and promised never to offend each other.

In order to reassure the prince of Pingxi, Prince An also explained his detailed plan in a letter to the prince of Pingxi, first let Geng Jingzhong pretend to play the banner of anti-Qing restoration and Ming restoration to attract the strategic attention of Emperor Kangxi and Tartar, and then Prince An and Prince Pingnan went north to quell the rebellion under the pretext of suddenly entering Jiangxi, forcing Emperor Kangxi to put all the main force into the southern battlefield, Prince An's filial piety and son-in-law Prince Bulli took the opportunity to raise troops, suddenly attacked Zhangjiakou, and drove straight into the capital to kill Emperor Kangxi Tartar, Kangxi died, Yue Le took the opportunity to ascend the throne and claim the emperor, Recruit the leaderless mites and clear the armies and calm the world in one fell swoop.

The prince of Pingxi said in the chapter that he was furious after reading the letter, and immediately ordered the arrest of Yue Le's secret envoy, and did not want to use the poison he carried with him to commit suicide, and the prince of Pingxi had no choice but to send the letter to the capital together with the song, and the body of the messenger was put in a coffin and sent to Hanyang as evidence. At the same time, the prince of Pingxi also volunteered, saying that he was ready to send troops to Fujian to help Emperor Kangxi quell Geng Jingzhong's rebellion, but there was still a Jiangxi between Huguang and Fujian, so the prince of Pingxi had the courage to make a request, hoping that Emperor Kangxi could temporarily let himself take charge of Jiangxi, and after the rebellion was quelled, he would definitely return it with both hands!

――The last sentence, whether the young and suspicious Emperor Kangxi believes it or not, anyway, our old and serious Prince Pingxi himself believes it.

After reading Wu Lao Han Jian's shameless recital, Kang Mazi simply wanted to take this Wu Lao Han Jian's autograph recital to wipe his buttocks, but the content of this recital about the rebellion of the Chahar Department made Kang Mazi break out in a cold sweat, no one knows better than Kang Mazi how empty the capital's current defense is, if the Chahar Iron Cavalry really launched a surprise attack in the back, then Kang Mazi will have a lot of fun.

Frightened, Kang Mazi couldn't help but pick up the so-called Yue Le's handwritten letter again and looked at it carefully, and found that the handwriting was indeed from Yue Le's hand, and the seal was indeed Yue Le's prince's seal, although Kang Mazi knew that it was very easy to imitate the handwriting, and there were seals that could also be carved out of radishes - and Yue Le was now demoted to the king of the county. But Kang Mazi still couldn't help but have another thought, "Wu Sangui old thief, why did you put on a piece of music that was so fake?" What is his purpose? Also, Yue Le's son-in-law Burnie, is it really unreliable? ”

"Why don't you just find an excuse and order Burnny to come to Beijing for a trip?" Kang Mazi suddenly had another thought, "If Bullni dares to come to the capital to see His Majesty, then needless to say, Wu Sangui's old thief is farting and doing some kind of tricks." But if Brny didn't dare to come, or simply refused, then ............. ”

(To be continued)
