Chapter 492: The Book of the State
Emperor Ming regarded Li Laiheng as an anti-Qing hero, naturally~ settle the account, after all, all the compulsory textbooks for soldiers to enlist in training, Li Laiheng has been shaped into a big hero, and the Ming Emperor wants to harm him, wouldn't he move a stone and drop himself in the foot.
Li Laiheng is a real person, and he remembered that he was even more embarrassed to spend the belly of a gentleman with a careful heart, and stomped his feet: "Li is going to ask the emperor for the guilt, if not, I really have an uneasy conscience, hey." ”
Originally, Li Laiheng was still worried that the Ming Dynasty would take away his military power and remove his wings, but at this time, he removed the mind of calculating, and he ignored the fact that the army went south to ask for guilt, and naturally released a signal to Li Xiao to let him take over the Kuidong Army.
Li Xiao hurriedly stopped: "The holy car is about to arrive in Hankou in the near future, and the emperor has announced that he will be conscripted, and it will not be too late for Uncle Shi to ask for guilt again." ”
Li Laiheng gave up, and then said: "That being the case, the top priority is to immediately eliminate the recalcitrant Tartars and prepare to meet them." ”
Li Xiao was excited, remembering that there were still some Qing soldiers entrenched in the city, and nodded his head.
In the evening, the Ming army and the Kuidong army launched a great offensive, the streets and alleys were suddenly filled with soldiers, and even the roof was ambushed by the Ming army's musketeers, the number of Qing troops was small, and there were many streets and alleys that needed to be defended, coupled with tired and hungry morale, and the troops were shrunk to the Nancheng ferry again and again, and it was natural that they could not escape from the Nancheng ferry, after all, this is the Yangtze River, and the Yangtze River area may have been served by Ming Jun's ship ~ ship.
For a time, the dilapidated ferry was full of chaotic soldiers, some escaped from the front line, some were ordered to supervise the deserters, and some were ordered to garrison, the chaos became a mess of cattle and could not be stopped, and they could only be allowed to stop, everyone knows that the current situation can not be reversed, in the city, there are nearly 100,000 Kuidong army and Ming army, and their casualties have been more than half of the casualties at this time, and from time to time there are a few people in the houses in the south of the city to choose a single Qing soldier ambush, no matter how to resist, it is only a matter of time before it falls.

A letter of the Ming Emperor and the newspaper of Hubei arrived in Beijing when it was already winter, the heavy snow of goose feathers drifted in the capital, the cold wind swished, the people's hands and feet were frozen and cold to the hearts of the people, the news came from the palace, Qi Butan 30,000 new military camps were wiped out, the emperor was furious, even the stove sent to him by the Empress Dowager fell, seven or eight ministers were punished for crimes, including the director of the Ministry of Engineering who supervised the manufacture of ordnance, including officials in several places and even the Dutch envoys were also angry, fortunately Kangxi at that time restrained the anger and gave up.
Two days passed. In the capital, all the titles were summoned into the palace, and more than 400 people entered the palace in a mighty way. Kneel down outside the Taihe Hall from the Shenwu Gate to listen to the announcement.
Kangxi in the interior of the Taihe Palace; Calm face. Sit alone on the Golden Temple. looked at Nan Ming's letter to the country. There is only one sentence written in the national book: 'The king of China respects the chief of Diyi.' Those who are near are punished by heaven. Jinglu North Finger. Imabari has a million elite soldiers. Fang and Erdi will hunt the world. ’
The original meaning of this sentence is very simple. The Chinese monarch proclaimed to the chief of Yidi. Recently, I have been commanded by heaven and earth to crusade against the sinful. The flag points north. Now a million elite soldiers have been trained. I'm going to fight you for the world.
It's just a few words, though. But provocatively meaningful. This is written by Zhu Jun himself. It has made Kangxi uneasy for two days. In the past, he was only a vassal to the new first emperor who was thousands of miles away. Now. The enemy of his life finally surfaced. With a tooth and claws, he passed a letter of state.
The news that came with it was that the Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty had announced a personal conquest. The entire Jiangnan has already done its job in a battle, and is ready to work hard. And now. It was the time for Kangxi to choose a place. He doesn't have many options. The first is to ignore this credential. Organizational defense. The second option is to stand up like a man. Like the Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, he took all his land capital to conquer in person. The battle is a decisive victory.
This choice is really difficult for the young Kangxi to make a decision. He still has half of the country. There are also dozens of concubines. and enjoy endless glory and wealth. He didn't want to gamble. But the situation in front of him no longer allowed him to retreat. The army of Nanmingdi will eat up the other lands bit by bit. The fateful enemy will command thousands of troops and horses, just as he did when the full man entered the pass. Forbearance is just to make yourself a day late. Not to mention. The insults in the national letter will not allow him to back down?
The Lord of Diyi? These four words are like a poisonous needle in Kangxi's heart, the Manchurian people have been established for decades, and the most hated is this word, as if the racial discrimination of later generations is always unacceptable, but they will never think about why they are Diyi.
"Master, the princes, the princes, the princes, the bailes, and the civil and military officials have all arrived, and they are kneeling outside the hall
The manager Liang Jiugong cautiously picked up his robe and came over, the lord has not been good these days, and the anger is also very big, Liang Jiugong is also cautious in serving, and he does not dare to have the slightest neglect.
"Let Suo Etu come in first." Kangxi opened his bloodshot eyes, he hadn't slept well for two days, but he had always been in a state of anger for two days.
"Wow." Liang Jiugong's calf bent, hit a thousand, and was busy to spread the will.
"Xuan, lead the Minister of the Guard, the scholar of the Baohe Palace, Suo Etu." Liang Jiugong shouted angrily outside the hall, and then several little eunuchs on the station also repeated two sentences with their throats, at this time outside the Taihe Palace, four hundred officials knelt all over the place, the weather was cold, some elderly princes and county kings were helped by the little eunuchs to the other side to sit down and rest, and the others had no good treatment, a trace of cold air on the cold floor tiles penetrated the knee cord, many people saw Liang Jiugong come out, originally thought that the emperor had summoned them into the palace, and they couldn't help but be secretly happy, but when Liang Jiugong's words just fell, Except for Suo Etu, who stood up with a shaky body among the hundred officials, the rest of the people naturally looked disappointed.
"The slave asks for a picture to ask the master for peace." Suo Etu, who entered the Baohe Palace, was also cautious, he understood that the destruction of the new military camp was a big shock for this young emperor, and it was not good, although he Suo Etu was the queen's father, the grandfather of the current prince, and the most trusted minister in front of the emperor, it was inevitable that he would have to suffer a meal.
"Master, your complexion is scared...... Hey, the state affairs are difficult, but the master doesn't always have to toss himself, the dragon body is important. ”
Kangxi pursed his mouth, still tense, his complexion was already a little better under the slight chin of his head, and he hooked his fingers: "Go to the hall and speak." ”
Suo Etu immediately put on his robe and ascended the jade steps to the Golden Palace, standing cautiously beside the Luan chair, I don't know what the emperor meant, Kangxi has casually handed the letter of state to Suo Etu: "Take a look, what thoughts in my heart are shaken out, I want to listen to the truth." ”
Kangxi aggravated his tone in the last sentence, which made Tu uneasy, and he thought to himself, did the emperor suspect that he had told a lie in the past? Thinking about it, Suo Etu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately picked up the national letter and read it, only then did he put his mind at ease, it turned out that the emperor was angry that it was not the matter of the new military camp, but the letter sent by the Ming people, he deliberately looked at it a few more times, sorted out his thoughts, and then carefully handed the letter back: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor." ”
So far, Suo Etu has only taken one or two sycophants to make this young man feel more cheerful.
Kangxi's eyes fell directly on Suo Etu: "Where does the joy come from?" This question was a bit harsh, obviously very dissatisfied with Suo Etu's congratulations, and at this time, this old guy was still congratulating, which really annoyed him.
Suo Etu immediately weakened his legs and knelt straight: "Your Majesty, is the wording of the puppet emperor Zhu Youlang in this national letter similar to Cao Cao back then?" ”
Kangxi had already discovered this problem and nodded, but he didn't think of anything to congratulate, but he knew that Suo Etu's words must have follow-up, so he didn't speak.
"The so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated, when Cao Cao held more soldiers and generals, he wrote Sun Quan, and said that General Sun would hunt in Wu, his tone was rampant, I am afraid that it is worse than this national letter, according to the slave only to see, I have been defeated and retreated in the Qing Dynasty, and it is not entirely a bad thing, the so-called horse of Saion, Yan knows that it is not a blessing, and now the Ming army is probably already arrogant, Zhu Youlang is even more arrogant and invincible, and now the arrogant soldiers, how can they not be defeated?"
Suo Etu said eloquently: "In fact, the main reason why my Qing Dynasty will be defeated, is that most of the soldiers fighting against the Ming army are mainly green battalions, these green battalion soldiers and slaves know, not to mention any combat power, they are a group of white-eyed wolves who are not familiar with feeding, and there are many people who surrender and defect, for example, this time the new military camp went south to exterminate the bandits, obviously this Hankou city is about to fall, Qi Butan also fought with the thief army before entering the city, and defeated them in a quarter of an hour, but those green battalion soldiers stationed at the ferry are not angry, and the Ming army crosses the river, How to say that you have to guard for a day or two, more or less you have to give some time to the new military camp under Hankou City, but these Wang Eight Lambs are good, a few hours later, they gave the ferry to the Ming army, this is not counted, except for the deputy general Feng Kaishan and all the following, at this time Hankou City is at the critical moment of attacking, the Ming army suddenly appeared on the back of the abdomen, even if it is how brave I am a warrior, I am afraid that the defeat has been decided. Therefore, the minions thought that the battles they had fought over the years were inseparable from those green battalion soldiers. ”
