Chapter 286: At a glance, it's all enemies
Kangxi did not summon Yinzhen alone, and the other ministers were old and frail, and they suddenly got up in the middle of the night and tossed for a while before arriving one after another. After the people were gathered, Kangxi circulated the Fujian Tangbao and Shi Shibi's recital, and the rebellion in Guangdong has spread.
There were Wenhuadian University scholars Songzhu and Xiao Yongzao, Wenyuange University scholar Wang Zhu, Han Shangshu Sun Zhenghao of the Ministry of War and Zhao Hongcan, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, and there was also a Ma Qi who was dismissed by the Minister of the Interior, and Zhang Tingyu temporarily served as an official.
"In the matter of Guangdong, the emperor does not worship the general, and the conspiracy Alabutan, who is cruising in the northwest and waiting for the opportunity, sees that my Celestial Empire is determined, and he will never dare to take the opportunity to make trouble, the emperor is wise and far-sighted, and the ministers are difficult to think!"
Xiao Yongzao made a trembling speech and announced the official start of the imperial meeting.
"At the beginning of the year, Li Xian was only 35,000 people, but now he can divide the army into three places, both sea and land, I am afraid that there will be no less than 350,000 people! The green battalion in the southern provinces has been slacking for a long time, and they can't fight, if they can't gather elite troops to defeat him face to face, the situation is afraid that it will add fuel to the fire, and let the Li thief become stronger and stronger the more he fights. ”
Zhao Hongcan hurriedly put down his words, don't make the matter serious, the south is really about to collapse, and he, the former governor of Liangguang, may be pulled out by Kangxi as a scapegoat. Therefore, he was very concerned about this matter, and he has been studying the situation in the south in Beijing, and he pointed out the overall situation as soon as he opened his mouth.
"At the beginning of the Qingpu Rebellion, Li Thief had a soft sail clipper appearance, and the giant ship in the Sanpeng Naval Battle was not necessarily done by foreigners, most of them were built with the help of foreigners. The former Ming Dynasty had a way to break the foreigners' giant ships, as Shi Shibiao said, at that time, it was just a lack of materials, and then it should be able to stop it, this giant ship, it should not be enough to suffer......"
Sun Zhenghao is Sun Kewang's son, and when he saw Shi Shibi's folded words "Western Giant Ship" with deep nail prints, he immediately understood Kangxi's worries. He is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and he is familiar with the documents and reports of the Ministry of War related to Li Shi, so he hurriedly explained it, which made Kangxi on the royal couch secretly relieved.
"The old minister Bai said that he received the letter of leave from the scholar Li Guangdi to present the chapter book of the political envoy, which happened to be forwarded to the emperor......"
Wang Liang was in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Officials, and the envoy of the general administration Si Zhangben left him there to transfer his hands into the inner court office, hearing this, everyone looked at each other, Li Guangdi went back to his hometown in Fujian to recuperate, and before he went for a few months, Kangxi repeatedly urged him to return to Beijing.
Kangxi didn't think so much for a while, so he asked the chamberlain Zhao Chang to hand over the fold and look at it carefully.
"This Li Jinqing ...... It's really well-intentioned......"
After reading the first few paragraphs, Kangxi sighed deeply, Li Guangdi admitted his mistake at the beginning, saying that he had mentioned to the emperor what kind of temperature conditioning before, so that Li Thief sat big, and the blame was on him Li Guangdi.
"Good courtier! Good courtier! ”
Kangxi shook his gray beard and praised repeatedly, this is Li Guangdi carrying the black pot for himself, he didn't pay attention to this Guangdong Li Shi at the beginning, and even pulled down his face, wanting to play hide and seek with the thief, he was ready to let the thief play to death by himself, but he didn't expect that the thief was getting bigger and bigger, and he directly escaped from prison violently, who is to blame? In himself, but how could he possibly admit it? Now that Li Guangdi has come forward to take the burden, he is extremely relieved.
"No...... Not good......"
Then Li Guangdi proposed a new strategy to suppress thieves, and Kangxi only felt familiar. Relocation, absolute ease, and the world discussed together, and the army of the whole country was pressed down in person. Thinking about it, isn't this Yinzhen's way? Li Guangdi's attitude completely changed, and he treated Li Shi as a big danger to him, and even abandoned the Conspiracy Alabutan in the northwest, and even vaguely hinted that he could give up small profits to the Conspiracy Alabutan to stabilize the northwest, so as to deal with Li Shi with all his might.
"The minister is recuperating in Fujian, and the minister of Guangdong has heard a lot, this Li Shi not only dominates the county and occupies the state, raises the banner of hypocrisy, but also demagogues people with the name of the clothes. Relying on greedy businessmen to govern the country and pushing the evil demon to teach foolish people, this thief is not only the enemy of my Qing Dynasty, but also the demon who corrupts the ethics of Gangchang and destroys my Chinese spirit! If this thief is allowed to run rampant, my Qing Dynasty will not only lose the country, but also lose the world! The minister wept blood and wrote, and the Holy Hope treated this person as a thief, and he should not be taken lightly! ”
Li Guangdi said that Li Xian's harm was a hundred times more serious than Zhao Hongcan, and Kangxi was also frightened, and the cold poured from his heart to his limbs.
Then Li Guangdi mentioned another strategy, he thought that Li Xian's guns were sharp, and his tactics were close to those of Yangyi. The Green Battalion in the south was not only weak and unbearable, but also insufficient in strength, and it was necessary to gather the best troops of the whole country to fight against it. During this period of time, in order to prevent Li Xian from becoming big, it is best to mobilize the righteous people and gentry around Guangdong who are "loyal to the imperial court", led by the governor and the governor-general, "gather the strength of the people's bravery, collect the wealth of the people and businessmen, and borrow the hearts of the people." ”
He specifically mentioned Xinhui, Guangdong, where the people spontaneously resisted the enemy, and let Li Thief attack for more than a month, and he is still insisting, "If my Qing City is like Xinhui, Li Thief will be defeated without a fight......"
Li Guangdi's book made Kangxi fall into contemplation, and at the same time he was still sneering in his heart, Li Guangdi ...... After all, it is a Han people, not my race, their hearts will be different, and the ancients will not deceive me!
Yin Zhen was having a headache about how to cut in in order to achieve today's "limited goal", and after listening to Zhao Hongcan's analysis of the situation, he thought of a strategy.
"Li Shi raised the flag in October, and now two months have passed, not only has he controlled the whole province of Guangdong, but also occupied South Australia, and Wuzhou is also in danger. Even if the two green camps gather, it will take a month or two. When the army of our court arrives, I am afraid it will take three or five months. During this period of time, it is really difficult to predict how much storm Li Xi can set off. The minister thought that the surrounding governors should be given the right to change the situation, and they should gather the people and villagers, and then Li Xi would face not only the green camps of the provinces, but also hundreds of thousands of people, even if he had three heads and six arms, I was afraid that it would be difficult to advance half a step! ”
Yin Zhen talked eloquently, he and Li Guangdi thought together, which was based on a very simple number comparison. In the previous battles, it has been clearly seen that Li Xian's troops are strong, even if he can't fight ten with one, but with one against five, it is no problem. Expect the enemy to be lenient, even if Li Xi now has 30,000 soldiers, then he must have 150,000 soldiers to confront him head-on, the art of war is cloudy, and he is victorious, without 300,000 soldiers, it is difficult to beat him back to Guangdong.
But where are the 300,000 soldiers to find? All the green battalions in the Qing Dynasty, including the soldiers guarding the flood pond, were only 600,000 in total, and there were nearly 400,000 green battalions in the entire south, and less than 200,000 could actually be mobilized, and Jiangnan was more important than Lingnan, so it was impossible to relax the control of Jiangnan because of the change in Lingnan.
At this time, Yinzhen thought of the precedent of acquiescing to the local county government to organize the township to resist the thieves at the beginning of the dynasty.
The reason why Yinzhen proposed this policy was out of selfishness. Previously, Nian Qianyao was secretly recruiting Miao soldiers in Hunan, and he helped cover up in the military department in Beijing, and then he showed his combat strength. Yin Zhen is convinced that with Nian Qianyao's ability, how can he make a situation and stand out among the surrounding governors.
"That's a good idea!"
Zhao Hongcan clapped his hands.
"Who's going to pay for the money? Before, he plotted to commit the border of Alabutan, and the imperial court organized an army, and the household department was having a headache about the expenses of this army, and now it is not only necessary to prepare the expenses of the army on the south road, but also to rejuvenate the people, and the court cannot afford this silver. ”
Xiao Yongzao, who was in charge of the household department, was anxious, and opened his mouth to reveal his bottom, and when it came to silver, the ministers also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, indeed, they didn't expect this, and now the treasury is ...... I can't stand the toss.
"Since the people are brave, the people will raise their own funds!"
Yinzhen returned freely, but heard a faint and cold snort on the couch.
"Self-funded!? And then what? The governors of the provinces have a private army!? ”
Everyone was silent, this consequence is indeed very serious, the fundamental policy of this dynasty to establish a country and control the local government is to return the soldiers to the imperial court and divide the power into four directions. The soldiers of a province must be controlled by the governors, governors, town associations, and other parties, and they are also deliberately dispersed and finely divided, and the financial power is controlled by the political envoys of a province, because they are afraid that the officials, finances, and soldiers will gather together and repeat the mistakes of the past.
"Your Majesty, the Li thief is powerful right now, you might as well take power, wait to cut off the Li thief, and immediately disperse the people."
Yinzhen stubbornly wanted to fight for it.
"Slave to power!? You Yinzhen stared wide-eyed to see which side of the power you wanted! Do you think there is only one enemy in the world? I've been waiting for me to make a mistake in the Qing Dynasty, just one Li Shi!? ”
Kangxi's voice was raised, not only Yinzhen, but also the other ministers hurriedly bowed their heads, and their foreheads began to sweat, they knew that Kangxi was already annoyed.
"Your Majesty, the plot of Arabtan is just an external trouble......"
Sun Zhenghao thought that Kangxi was talking about the enemy in the northwest, and continued to persuade him.
"Unconscious!!"
Kangxi was furious, he was not annoyed that Sun Zheng was stupid and didn't understand his words, but he was annoyed that he couldn't say anything directly in front of the ministers, so he had to continue to scold.
"You, the son of a general, naturally have a mind with Li Guangdi's Han people, my enemy of the Qing Dynasty is you, and the Han people behind you and Li Guangdi!"
Kangxi looked at his courtiers coldly, except for Songzhu and Yinzhen, the others were all Han army banner people, and in his eyes, they were no different from Han people. It's a pity that Songzhu is a rough person, Yinzhen's vision is not broad enough, his knowledge is too shallow, and he hasn't seen through the chess game in this world.
"I am determined to be the people of the Qing Dynasty, and it seems that I can use ......"
Yinzhen is not a stupid person, he faintly thought that Kangxi was worried about the Han people, but he was still trying to distinguish it. I traveled south to Guangzhou before, and I saw it all the way, the Han people all wanted to be stable, as long as they were not bewitched by evil demons such as Li Xian, they would definitely be able to use their blood towards the court. There are even more Han people like Li Wei, who are loyal and regard Li Wei as a feud, which should be of great use.
"Huaxia is now my Manchurian country, it should be Manchu and Han, trust the Han people, let the Han people use it for my Manchurian people, Huang Ama is wise and martial, patrolling the south and the north to hunt and the west, nothing has happened, why are you still so jealous of the Han people!? Now that the prosperous era has come, the people's hearts have long been submitted, then Li Shi is just an evil demon rising from the outside, but it is not a sign that the people in the world are in turmoil, the emperor should be able to distinguish clearly, is it true that the older he gets, the less courage he has? ”
Yin Zhen is still slandering in his heart, since he has the heart to win the throne, he has carefully thought about the general trend of the world. And he firmly believes that the world should be Manchu and Han as one, and there will be no more barriers. If the Manchus always distrust the Han people and regard them as enemy defenses, he is very worried about how long he can sit in this world.
Li Wei is a person close to him, and he has a lot of contact, so he doesn't need to say much about his loyalty, just say that Li Guangdi, an important minister, is not also called a loyal minister who can be relied on in family affairs by Kangxi? Zhang Tingyu, who served as the official of the living room tonight, is also a living example, talented, diligent, and loyal, many Han people do have antipathy, but you can't treat the entire Han people as one for this reason.
"I know it works! But why should I move the world for a little rebel! ”
Kangxi couldn't blame Yinzhen openly, so he could only express his attitude hatefully, and he didn't want to talk about Minyong.
"You can use a fart! Can't I see your little tricks? Didn't you just want to let Nian Qianyao come out, I really didn't expect that as soon as this old man was carried out, he had an idea, and he also had the idea of this position under me! ”
Speaking of seeing through people's hearts, Yinzhen's ability is worse than Kangxi I don't know how many streets, Yinzhen doesn't know, he argued for this strategy for two sentences, and let Kangxi see through his heart.
"It can be pushed by the heart of your fourth child, and people's hearts are insatiable! Before, you recited Buddha and fasted, and you didn't want to take care of mundane things, and you really wanted to become a monk, but now Li Shi's incident has also become an opportunity for you to compete for the position! What about Li Guangdi, is he guarding the Qing Dynasty? No! What he guards is the Confucianism in his heart, the Huaxia in his heart! After all, he is loyal to the orthodoxy of the Han people, not to the Manchurians! The Han people under my rule in the Qing Dynasty seem to be loyal, which I have earned through decades of hard work with both soft and hard hands! Once they have a chance and a choice, do you think they will still be loyal to the court and be honest!? Immature! ”
Kangxi roared inwardly.
"Sitting in my position, I see all enemies! Arabutan is the enemy, and Li Xi in Guangdong is the enemy, but the biggest enemy is the loyal subjects and obedient people who bow under the dragon chair! ”
The mood was rolling, but his expression calmed down, Kangxi said lightly: "The matter of the people's courage violates the rules of this dynasty, so there is no need to mention it again." Today, I want to wait for you to come here, to select the general who will lead the troops, agree on the actual amount of money and salary, and stop talking about irrelevant matters! ”
The ministers agreed, Yinzhen bowed his head, and a long and deep lament crossed his heart, Huang Ama ...... It's really stupid.
