"Forty-six deer, eighteen foxes, three hundred rabbits......"

"Okay, make a careful book, and record it in the internal file."

In the big tent of Ming and Huang, sitting and listening to the roar on all sides, Kangxi waved away the eunuchs who came to report the results of the battle, and solemnly looked around at the princes and ministers in the tent.

"The matter of the south, I am deeply holding my breath, but you are secretly clamoring, I am afraid of the southern barbarian, what I see now, but I have fixed your heart?"

The sound of guns and cannons was so dense that these princes and ministers were a little restless, and when they heard Kangxi's words, they all nodded like chickens pecking rice. Kangxi's patrol this time was called Autumn Hunting, which was actually a drill, and the performance was not Manchurian cavalry shooting, but firearms actual combat. It seems that in the battle of Yizhang, the imperial court was really hurt, and Kangxi had to start adjusting the military system.

Li Shi connected with Yangyi, the army was strong, and he also held the industry and commerce in hand, and the country was rich, this was no longer an ordinary enemy, and the threat was even above the three feudatories and Galdan, and now the imperial court and Kangxi both called Yinghua as "Southern Barbarian", and the fear can be seen from this.

"There are two ways to compete in the world, one is in the hearts of the people, and the other is in the instrument. The southern barbarians are in turmoil, and the hearts of the bewitched people do not cross the two wide places, and now they are even more chaotic, so there is no need to be afraid, but what is the profit......?"

Kangxi waved his hand, and the eunuchs handed over the Yongli-style musket on his book case to everyone to see, the two armies fought, and it was not difficult to get the equipment of the ordinary infantry of the British and Chinese Army, which Yinzhen brought back from the Yizhang battlefield.

"The general presented a brief summary of the battle of Yizhang, which mentioned two main points, in addition to artillery, Nanban relied on this musket. The distance and the near are combined, and the shooting speed is twice that of a shotgun, and its speed is 30% faster, but ......"

Kangxi shook his head: "But there are no less than dozens of muskets in my ban, each of which is more exquisite than this musket, and its power may not be inferior to it." In the past, some people also mentioned that they should remove the shotguns from the army and revive the muskets......"

Who this person is, everyone knows it, of course, it is Yinzhen who is sitting on the cold bench again, these four princes are on their backs, the Nanban Rebellion was stirred up by him, and the defeat of Yizhang, he is also difficult to get rid of the suspicion of secretly pulling back his legs, so even if his words are to the point, he is no longer trusted by Kangxi.

"At that time, I thought that the cost of this musket was high, and I had to make more efforts to improve it, but I didn't expect that the Nanban had colluded with the foreign people and had already achieved something, which was my negligence."

Kangxi blamed himself, this is a rare thing, everyone here hurriedly spoke out, either scolding the people who did things for being slack, or scolding the southern barbarians for being cunning, and the emperor is wise and wise, and he has already gained insight.

Kangxi lightly revealed the mistake of ignoring the instrumental advantage before, and then said: "This musket is not an artifact, one person in hand, how can it be difficult to defeat ten bird guns, ten people in hand, in order to fight against a hundred bird guns, thousands of people together, can win ten thousand people, so it is widely created, the party is the strategy to defeat the enemy." The strong army of the Southern Barbarians is only twenty or thirty thousand, as long as the imperial army is the same weapon as the enemy, even if the difference in artillery is counted, how can the 100,000 troops with natural muskets be able to defeat the Southern Barbarians! ”

Everyone's heartstrings are shaking, and the military system is really going to be overhauled.

Kangxi changed the topic, and when it came to the second experience summarized by Yinzhen, he held up a pointed iron rod with a buckle and a length of more than two feet, and said: "The muskets of the Southern Barbarian army still have such short blades. Our imperial army has always been divided into long and short soldiers, but the Southern Barbarians are far and near, although our army has 100,000, at most 30% can fight with it at the same time, so how can it win? ”

With a loud voice, he threw the spear on the ground and said in a deep voice: "I am determined to rebuild the firearms battalion and train the yamen!" Today, Zhaoer and others are discussing together, that is, to determine the perfect system! ”【1】

Kangxi looked around at everyone and limited this policy: "The army involved in the formation and training of the Yamen, including the five flag battalions in Beijing, Xi'an, Jingzhou, Fuzhou, and Hangzhou, plus the Shaanxi-Gansu-Green Battalion, the governors of various provinces are not allowed to change the military system without authorization!" Violators will be punished severely! ”

Everyone nodded, this is necessary, the flag camp plus the Shaanxi, Gansu and green battalion are two or three hundred thousand, and they have a sharp weapon, even if they only dispatch half of them, it is enough to solve the Nanban. If the green battalion is also equipped with such sharp weapons and tactics, I am afraid that the wolf in front will be driven away, and the tiger will jump out from behind.

Zhao Hongcan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was still a little worried, he always felt that the time was not on his side, "Your Majesty, the flag battalion has changed its weapons to practice new tactics, and it will not be possible to do it in March or May. Although the imperial court is still using troops in Qinghai, if it musters up a lot of strength, it will still be able to have the margin to use troops in the south at the same time......"

Kangxi's tone was cold: "This is a decision of life and death!" If you are not very sure, you must not act rashly! ”

He stretched his eyebrows again: "But the court is not sitting idly by, I ...... Own wrist. ”

Kangxi stretched out his wrist, Yinghua already knew, in the grass hall, Duan Yuyou's eyes fell on a certain line of the "Urging Rain Action" summary table, and found the node of this decade, with three names written on it: "Yu Hanyi", "Shang Jun", and "Luo Tangyuan". The three names were circled with a red pen, and then a vague note was made: "The newspaper is distributed everywhere".

This line is called "North Wind", which is naturally what the reaction of the Qing court in the north will be after the "Operation Urging Rain" provokes turmoil under its rule. The handlers involved are the three intelligence chiefs. Their report Duan Yuyou didn't have the right to check it, and the three leaders only sent someone to the grass hall to report it, and the specific reports were all directly presented to Li Yuyou, so that Duan Yuyou was both relieved and awe-inspiring.

Foshan, Li Xi carefully read the report of the intelligence department, shook his head and smiled secretly, sure enough, when it comes to the technique of rectifying people's hearts, Kangxi is also a grandmaster-level figure, if he is an equal opponent, Li Xi may not be able to win him. But the problem is that all the things Kangxi did have been chewed up and dissected in Li Xi's previous life, and what tricks he can make, Li Xi can come together with his eyes closed.

Differentiation and disintegration, differential treatment, this is the first trick. The Qing court's secret agents infiltrated the territory and posted notices everywhere in the countryside, declaring that the civil and military officials who had "defected to the enemy" in the past would not be held accountable as long as they were anyway, and the British and Chinese civil officials who were willing to serve the Qing court would not be charged with the crime of rebellion. The prefect pulls out the road, and the prefect enters the fu! The military attache was even more generously treated, and the head of the head could get a thousand generals, and Kangxi opened a high position as the governor of a province under the military command.

The second trick is to arouse suspicion, Tang Youzeng, Shi Yizhi, Xiao Sheng, Li Zhushou, Xie Dingbei and others even recruited by name, and even the "letter of submission" submitted by Duan Hongshi earlier was regarded as evidence of his loyalty to the Qing court, and he was shaken out to ask him to return to the "king" as soon as possible, and the court was willing to treat him as a bachelor.

The third trick is to lie about the situation and create a sense of oppression. It is said that Li Shi, a country that reverses the norm, will sooner or later become a country of shameless beasts. Isn't it the best proof that the scholars have come forward now, but they have been bloodily suppressed? Seeing that Yinghua is in turmoil, it will collapse before it happens, and when the imperial army is pressed, not only will the wealth and nobility not exist, but the family name and life will be even more worrying. Finally, after counting the various rebellions since the present dynasty, what the results were, I urged ordinary people to return to the north as soon as possible, and not to continue to be in the same stream with the likes of no king and no father.

The announcement alone is these three moves, in the past, Kangxi played against Wu Sangui's old routine, which showed a lot of effect at that time, and many generals under Wu Sangui voted for the Qing court under these three moves, which broke Wu Sangui's momentum of holding on to the Qing court in Hunan.

In line with this people's heart offensive, the Qing army also loosened in Guangxi, Hunan and Fujian, Yang Lin withdrew from Guilin, Shi Shibiao withdrew from Zhangzhou, Hunan, Yanxin could no longer retreat, but also shrank his forces, never beyond the Changsha Mansion outside the city.

According to the experience of the Qing court and Kangxi, the internal instability and the expansion of the territory, the generals in the army will have their own small abacus. For example, Meng Kui who is in charge of Hunan 1st Road, and Xiao Sheng, who is in charge of Fujian 1st Road, their current pressure has decreased, and their territory has expanded, which is enough to become a road of their own. Under this heartfelt offensive, he will definitely start to plan for his future. Even if it can't attract them to surrender, it can make Li Shi suspicious of his subordinates, and in the end they have to rebel. Many of Wu Sangui's generals voted for the Qing court like this.

"The characters of the two-dimensional world, looking at the three-dimensional world, always can't understand it."

Li Xi laughed like this, Kangxi and the Qing court's eyes still fell on the ancient times, not to mention whether Meng Kui and Xiao Sheng and others had anti-him thoughts, let's just say that the degree of interweaving between the British and Chinese army and the industry and commerce of a country is difficult for them to imagine. The salary, training, armaments, logistics, and even ideological education of the Anglo-Chinese Army are all self-contained, and they seem to be an army, but in fact there are many big nets wrapped around them. The person in charge of the army is only in charge of the operation. The army will rebel, and it is difficult to say whether they can take away the soldiers around them.

Xiao Sheng is a special case, he is also in charge of the Navy Administration, but even if he doesn't care about people's hearts, just say that this is a benefit, he gave Xiao Sheng a dream of a big navy, this benefit, can Kangxi afford it?

Kangxi's tricks did not damage Yinghua's reality, but people's hearts became more fluctuating and the situation became more confused, but this harm could not be ignored.

There are thick stacks of letters submitted from all over the world, all of which are analyses of the heart, emphasizing that they will never be bewitched by the Qing court's oath of allegiance, including officials of the Tianwang Mansion headed by Li Zhushou, local civil officials headed by Huizhou prefect Ba Xuqi, and Anglo-Chinese industry and commerce headed by An Jinzhi, so you know how much this person's heart is stirred.

Tian Dayou, Guan Fengsheng, Wu Yaluo, Lin Dashu, He Gui and other old partners were even in front of them, and they said in unison with painful faces: "Kill!" ”

These people met in Foshan, on the one hand, to report on the progress of technology research and development, and on the other hand, they were specially convened by Li Xiannian and his old partners who had not gathered with his old partners for a long time.

But for them, what is more important now is to stabilize people's hearts, those scholars who openly shout for rebellion are heinous and must be killed.

"The king of heaven should put a long line and catch a big fish......

Tian Dayou calmed down a little and guessed Li Shi's intentions.

"That's right, put a long line and catch big fish, but the big fish I caught are not those scholars, it is easy to kill people and it is difficult to punish the heart, and the fire has not yet arrived."

Li Xian said slowly, but it caused everyone to be more anxious, listening to this, not only do you have to sit back and watch the situation be chaotic, but also you will not be heavy-handed to these scholars!?

Surrounded by a shout of killing, Li Xian's face became heavy, he slowly stood up, bowed his waist, and bowed deeply to everyone.

There was silence in the hall, and everyone stayed for a moment, and then came to their senses amid Guan Fengsheng's shouting.

"This ...... This is unacceptable! ”

Guan Fengsheng knelt down with a grunt, although Li Xi was his son-in-law, he was the king of a country, and now he was only the king of heaven, maybe he would ascend to the throne next year, and he couldn't afford to worship him.

Tian Dayou and the others hurriedly knelt down, blaming themselves in their hearts, just now they thought to themselves that they were Li Shi's old uncle, old partner, and they didn't pay attention to proportions when they spoke, which made Li Shi annoyed, right?
