From February of the third year of Wuding, the Zheng army's naval division began to frequently attack the north bank in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, including three shelling Yizheng, two shelling Tongzhou, and in Wuhu and Anqing section of the river with the Qing army boat battles, and once sent sailors to the north bank, this series of actions coupled with the sound of the Northern Expedition in Nanjing made the Qing army in northern Jiangsu and Anhui Province think that a great change was imminent, and urgent documents from all over the country went to Beijing like snowflakes.

What made it even more difficult for the Qing court to sleep and eat was that Zheng's Oriental fleet also frequently appeared on the coast of Shandong, and the four prefectures of Denglai and Qingyi repeatedly issued reports on Zheng Jun's Deng6, and the Shandong coastal defense troops were exhausted, but they still could not prevent a large number of people in the coastal areas from being carried by Zheng's army to Jiangnan and Jeju Island.

Because Shandong and Liaodong face each other across the sea, and because the Zheng army has also had a record of attacking Liaodong many times, after the alarm in Shandong came, Liaodong also fell into a situation where all the grass and trees were soldiers. In order to avoid the attack of the Zheng army, the Liaodong general Qiu Ke sent a letter to Kangxi to request that the sea be moved to Liaodong and abandon the Liaodong Peninsula. When the chapter reached Kangxi's hands, Kangxi was furious, and on the grounds of "arguing in vain to abandon the ancestral inheritance", he seized the post of the yellow belt and banned the clan, and replaced it with another clan Zhenguo Gong Sunu to take over the position of general of Liaodong (Shengjing).

Knowing that General Yi could not change the current crisis, Kangxi ordered an additional Zhenhai waterproof division in Yongding Prefecture and Tianjin Prefecture in Zhili, and required Shandong and Liaodong to set up extensive fortresses at the mouth of the Liaohe River and in important coastal areas in preparation for the Zheng army's small forces.6 Kangxi knew that both conscription and conscription had caused further harm to the people of the Northland, who were already overwhelmed, but in the face of the pressure of two-front combat, he could only drink to quench his thirst.

In March of the third year of Wuding, news came from the battlefield in Hunan that after nearly half a year of fighting, the Zheng army finally captured Baoqing Mansion and forced the defenders of Yongzhou Mansion to surrender, but Hunan Governor Sang'e received reinforcements from Sichuan and Huguang, and was still entrenched in the west of Zishui.

Also in March, the situation in Guangxi also changed, and the Qing army in Nanning counterattacked the 1st Division of the Zheng Army Longxiang from the front line of Qinzhou, and for a time drove the Zheng army back to the east of the Qinjiang River. The Qing army, which had achieved the task of suppressing the Zheng army on the southern front, immediately attacked in the direction of Xunzhou, but did not expect that the 1st Longxiang Division, which had the continuous support of the naval division, would soon recover its vitality and take advantage of the eastward advance of the main force of the Qing army, forcing Tao Dai, the governor of Guangxi, to withdraw his troops and return to help.

On the third day of the fourth month of the 34th year of the reign of Kangxi, Jebzundamba and Zasak Khan Tsewang Zab, who were forced to flee into southern Mongolia by the Kaldan army, arrived in Beijing by passage, and Kangxi organized a grand welcoming ceremony - for which the Qing court had almost emptied all the silver - but did not agree to the request of the two men to immediately go north to recover Khalkha.

On the seventh day of the fourth month, 20,000 troops of Galdan, who had annexed the vast pastures of the Khalkha Mongols and some herdsmen, entered Ulanqab to pursue the Chechen Khan Umerk and Tushetu Khan Chahun Dorji. The Mongolian tribesmen of the six banners, including the Urat Three Banners, the Khalkha Right Banner, the Four Sub-tribe Banners and the Maomingan Banner, under the Ulanqab League, were terrified when they learned that the Jungar army was coming, and fled to all directions, causing great panic among the surrounding Mongol tribes in southern China.

Under these circumstances, Kangxi, who was originally suffering from the problem of troops and money and food, did not want to send troops in order to stabilize the foundation of his rule, so he had to issue an edict of reprimand to Galdan on the 17th of the same month, and at the same time ordered the mobilization of 30,000 soldiers from the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion in Beijing, Shanxi and other places, and 20,000 Mongolian cavalry from Chahar, Tumut, Ordos and other units, commanded by Feiyangu, the general of Anbei, to march to Ulanqab. In order to avoid a large-scale mobile operation of the Junggar army, Kangxi also ordered the mobilization of about 10,000 Mongolian soldiers from the Horqin, Uzhumuqin, Zalu, Sunit, Balin, Keshiketeng, Naiman, and Ao Han banners to gather on the line of the Suoyueerji Mountain, the Khalkha River, and the Khulun River to prevent Galdan from advancing eastward. In addition, Kangxi also ordered the newly victorious Shaanxi and Gansu armies of Zhang Yunyi and other troops to march westward from Ganzhou (Zhangye), Suzhou (Jiuquan) and other places, cross the Gobi Desert through the Ejina Banner and enter the western part of Khalkha Mongolia, cut off the retreat of Galdan, and completely eradicate the troubles in the north with a war of annihilation.

The three armies of nearly 100,000 attacked mightily, but as soon as the so-called cannon sounded, the money and grain that Kangxi Tong had managed to accumulate turned into nothing. In order to maintain the expenses of the army, Kangxi raised the banner of anti-corruption with one hand, and through the means of chasing the comparison, he had to get a lot of silver, but in the troubled times, silver alone could not fill the stomach, so the price of food in the capital rose three times a day, not to mention that the ordinary people were miserable, and even the life of many Beijing officials was very difficult, and the phenomenon of edema abounded, and the entire city of Beijing was already in a state of waiting to be killed.

In order to solve the famine in Beijing, Kangxi had to order the four provinces of Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, and Zhili to supply grain to Beijing with all their might, but at this time, when the green and yellow were not in stock, the grain in each province was not much, and the consumption of thousands of miles of transportation was very large, and some grain arrived in Beijing was just a drop in the bucket

"What?" As the permanent envoy of the DPRK in Beijing, although he knew that the current situation in the city was not good, Park Wenkang was still frightened by what the head of the Ministry of Rites had just said. "200,000 stone of rice, this, this, how can a small country in North Korea get so much rice and grain, and please be accommodating."

"Master Park, this is also fate." Feng Weiru, the head of the Ministry of Rites, was as stiff as a layer of paste. "What's more, it's just a temporary loan, and when the summer grain is harvested, it will be returned." Feng Weiru stretched out his finger and pointed to the top of his head. "As long as you pass this hurdle, if you want to come to the imperial court, you will remember North Korea."

How dare Park Wenkang believe Feng Weiru's words, so he wailed: "If it weren't for the lower officials' intentions, even if they emptied the North Korean treasury, they might not be able to gather the 200,000 stone rice grain." ”

"North Korea has accumulated savings for hundreds of years, and it can't take out 200,000 stones, who can believe it." Feng Weiru didn't listen to the explanation. "And even if there is no treasury, what about the treasury of each province? There are so many big clans in North Korea for a hundred years, don't they have any savings? It's just 200,000 stones, just get it together, why bother doing this. ”

"The kingdom has always been founded on benevolence and righteousness, so how can it take away the wealth of the family from the scholars?"

"What Lord Park means is that the imperial court is brutal and immoral." Director Feng seized the loophole in the words of the envoy Park and said unceremoniously. "It's really bold, I hope your lordship's words won't bring disaster to North Korea."

"My lord misunderstood, Xia Guan didn't mean this, Xia Guan said that there are two classes in a small country, there are many families, and the lord of our country and your discussion of politics may not be able to persuade him to lose or lose, and the Celestial Empire wants to urge it very tightly, but my country is powerless."

"Whether you have a weak heart or a strong heart or a heartless heart, it's not up to you, Master Park, to have the final say." Feng Weiru was apparently noncommittal to Park's explanation. "In the end, you and I are both messengers, so let's ask Lord Park to immediately transmit the meaning of the imperial court back to North Korea, in case something goes wrong, it won't be something you and I can handle."

"Lord Feng, Lord Feng!" Looking at Feng Weiru's long back, Park Wenkang, who chased all the way to the door of the post house, was dead, although Feng Weiru said something reasonable, he just had to pass the word back, but because he failed to dispel the idea of the Qing court, the leader from the country must be inevitable, but what is even more disturbing is that what kind of turbulent waves this forced demand for 200,000 stone rice grain will cause in North Korea is not something that he can predict as an envoy stationed abroad. "Damn it!"

The deputy envoy and others on the side surrounded him one after another, and asked angrily: "My lord, what should we do now?" ”

"The Qing court is unreasonable, humiliating and oppressing our country, which is very hateful, but in order to prepare for the country as soon as possible, the news must be transmitted back to China immediately." Park Wenkang stabilized his mind, and then made a decision. "I will immediately revise two letters detailing today's events, and you, and you, will bring these two letters back to China respectively."

"My lord, the men of the Korean envoy have left the city." Park Wenkang didn't know that his movements had completely fallen into the rhythm of the Qing court's design. "One of the ways to the east, presumably is to go to Shengjing to North Korea through Shanhaiguan, but the other way is to the south, it is estimated that it is to go to sea through Tianjin."

"Out to sea?" The adult who had hidden himself behind the curtain immediately interrupted his men's words. "The sea is against the sea, and the ship is sent to death several times, but the North Koreans swagger to return to China by sea, and they also say that they have nothing to do with the sea rebellion, which is really hateful." Speaking of this, the lord said to his subordinates who reported the news. "Go down and keep an eye on it."

"My lord, now that Hai Reverse is blocking both sides of the strait with the Yangtze River, it is very inconvenient for us to obtain news from Jiangnan, but Hai Reverse can find out the movements of the imperial court through the North Korean envoys, which is extremely unfavorable." After the spies retreated, another voice came from behind the curtain. "The lower official thought that the North Korean embassy should be raided immediately"

"No." The adult who spoke earlier flatly denied. "If there is no evidence, how to confiscate."

"Isn't the passage of North Korean envoys to the sea evidence?" So said the speaker. "Xia Guan thinks this is enough."

"If someone returns to you that the situation is urgent, and you have no choice but to go to sea, how can you explain to the Ministry of Rites?"

"This?" The speaker was stunned for a moment, and then he was deflated. "The lower official is dull, and I ask the lord to instruct me on how to act."

"Find a way to let the Ministry of Rites help transfer the tiger away from the mountain, and then conduct a raid, the right hands and feet are a little sharper, and when you are done, you will set a fire, and destroy the corpse, so that the North Koreans can't say anything."

"Your Excellency understands, please rest assured, this matter must be done"

Done? The adult behind the curtain showed a strange smile on his face, yes, now that the Qing court is attacked on both sides, even if he gets the evidence of the collusion between North Korea and Ming Zheng, Kangxi will never order to attack North Korea lightly, of course, it is better to have evidence than no evidence, and it is the best policy to suppress North Korea bit by bit
