Chang Wending breathed a sigh of relief, and kept nodding his head resignedly. Kangxi didn't sit on the kang anymore, his eyes scanned the room, and then he sighed: "Get up, Lian called you today, you are naturally clear in your hearts." Lian's mood is not good, presumably you are not at ease with him to drink, and then said: "The blessing of the ancestral word, we who are not worried about the children and grandchildren can enjoy it in this life, and no one has less of the blessing that should be there, but it is like Yu" Kangxi's expression was gloomy, as if he was talking to himself: "Now the national disaster is at the head, and Liaodong is lost." Lian's clan uncle Prince Kang was martyred by death, Lian's second brother Fuquan's life and death are unknown, half of the elite ten of the five major battalions have stopped, even Mongolia," Zhuo Xi said this, as if he was humble, holding the table almost with his palm and pinching the corner of the table. Desperately holding back the tears in his eyes, he is not weak, in the past ten years, he has encountered countless folds, faced countless difficulties, he still relies on the persistence in his heart to support it, but today, he really can't hold it back. The four emotions of helplessness, disappointment, and fear occupied his mind, and in the deepest part of his heart, the four words of the king of the dead country seemed to pierce his heart. Liaodong is gone, although the Manchus still have a place in the pass, but the loss of Liaodong is like duckweed that has lost its foundation, and what makes Kangxi even more frightened is that the tombs of the two generations of Taizu and Taizong are still in Shengjing. And now, I am afraid that he has become the wreckage of a broken arm, since he ascended the throne, he does not know how much he has been in the bag, first subject to Aobai, and then worried about the situation in the south, he has been working hard, just to not be the king of the country, before he died, not to be reprimanded by the ancestors and ancestors underground, but now?

He breathed a sigh of relief and sniffed: "We have no way out, not only Lian, but also your Lian I heard that over the years, there have always been several princes and Baylors in the mansion who are secretly talking about going back to their hometown in Liaodong if they can't keep it, right?" Kangxi's razor-like eyes swept sharply towards six or seven princes and county kings who had long since lost their souls. There were also a few commanders with troops, and then slapped their palms on the table heavily: "Tell you, don't think about it."

If this battle is defeated, the people in our house. Don't even want to live, Lian's concubine, Lian's prince, and your little wife and children. One benevolence, all of them have to die, Kangxi's last death, the words are almost shouted out of the bottom of the sky.

Seven or eight of the highest magnates of the Manchurian people were as pale as earth for a while, they had never met such a big fire from the emperor, Keqi was a few old relatives and county kings, they were all the emperor's elders and uncles, and in ordinary times, the emperor treated them very kindly.

And Yang Wending, who was in the other corner, heard that Liaodong was lost, and his soul was no longer possessed, my mother, it turned out that Liaodong was lost, this is like a boat, Yang Wending's fate is tied to the Manchurians, although the Ming Dynasty publicized the policy of surrender of the Han people, but he Yang Wending belongs to the list of traitors who are extremely guilty anyway. Although surrender can ensure that he does not die, but this official is not able to be, Yang Wending has been tossing for so many years, and finally the county boat has reached the position of the governor and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, he doesn't even think about it, therefore, Yang Wending heard that Li Liaodong fell, and his shock was no less than that of the Manchurians.

The important ministers who had been convicted of capital crimes had just stood up, and at this moment they knelt down in fear, all of them were silent, and they didn't dare to squeak more.

Kangxi's face warmed up a little: "There is no capital crime, don't say that you are still worried about the unfavorable situation of the battle and flee back to the outside of the pass, haven't you thought about it like this?" Everyone has a fluke heart, and the Union does not require you to be all loyal ministers who protect the society with death. Lian now wants to tell you that behind the Manchurians is the Shanhaiguan, and outside the Shanhaiguan is already the world of Chahar traitors, Han Chinese, and Dzungar people, and we have nowhere to retreat. We have been blessed by our ancestors, and now that the catastrophe is coming, if we don't rise up again, I'm afraid we will really die without a burial. ”

Kangxi would never have said this before. But this catty, when it comes to saying it, there is a strong Xiao Suo, the dog will jump off the wall when he is in a hurry, not to mention the Manchu who still controls hundreds of thousands of military horses, at this moment, Kangxi shook his spirit again: "Actually, we are not completely without a chance." The main force of the Ming army is in front of you, as long as you defeat them in one fell swoop, stabilize the southern front, and then go out of the customs to clean up those rebellions, clean up the rivers and mountains, this world is still ours, you people are either the clans of the relatives, or the important ministers raised by the alliance, and there are also the blessings that the big head of the feudal territory should enjoy, and the alliance is not much, you can do it yourself. ”

"The slave is willing to serve the death force and kowtow together, and at this time. These Manchurians, who were still a little greedy for life and afraid of death, aroused the idea of survival, and at this time, they had to sacrifice their lives not for the sake of the country, even if it was to save their own lives

"Your Majesty, how should the Mongolian people be appeased?" Qin Etu asked one when he saw the stitches. The news will be spread sooner or later, and the recommender has already made a move, spreading the military intelligence of Liaodong everywhere, and making every effort to disturb the morale of the Mongolian battalion. You have to find a way to boost morale.

Kangxi squinted his eyes: "I'm afraid that the decisive battle period is going to be raised, let's pass the decree." Let's just say that the Mongolian people and the Manchu people share weal and woe, and the United intends to re-enshrine some Mongolian princes and Mongolians have been rewarded, but it is those Manchus who are reminiscent. He licked the remnants of the milk on his lips: "The matter of Liaodong should be greatly publicized in the Manchurian camp, as for how to publicize it, I think."

Although Kangxi's words were not explicit. Suo Etu immediately understood, in fact, this inspiration was still taught by the Han people, these days the propaganda offensive of the Han people is overwhelming, no matter how stupid Kangxi and Suo Etu are, I am afraid they have also mastered a little experience, Suo Etu hurriedly said: "This matter is done by the slaves, and it will definitely arouse the hatred of the Manchurian battalion."

Kangxi nodded, and waved it in annoyance: "Let's go down, Suo Etu stays, and there is a connection."

One

The Manchu Four-Way Army. Except for the two flanks of the green battalion suffered the attack of the Ming army, the rest of the two roads are dominated by the Manchurian battalion, these days, by the various propaganda methods of the Ming army, the situation of Guan Niu has mostly entered the ears of these Manchu battalions, the Mongolian people are naturally thoughtful, and most of the Manchu people are worried about Zhongzhong, after a few days, another news began to spread, also about Liaodong, these news did not refute the views of the Ming army, just added some pieces of reb.

"The Han people captured our Shengjing, and all the people in Shengjing City were slaughtered by the Han people, you know? The moat of the entire Shengjing City was dyed red, and the corpses were piled higher than the mountain. ”

"The Chahars don't just kill people. Even the Mongols were killed, and the Ezhe dog thief actually said that he would kill 100,000 Manchus before he would stop. ”

"The Han loosened the city of Shengjing and plundered everywhere, but all the younger women were taken captive. The rest were all beheaded, and the children were dragged directly to the moat and drowned

"Chaha's murder is in the same league as the Dzungar Heavens. One of them went to the east and the other to the west, attacking the tribes of the Mongols everywhere, burning, killing and plundering, I am afraid that this steppe will be peaceful. ”

These news did not deny the chaos outside the Guan, but revealed a lot of "details" that shocked the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners who cared about the situation outside the Guan, which not only revealed the brutality of the Han and Chahar people, but also told everyone that they slaughtered not only the Manchus, but also those Mongolians outside the Chahar Ministry.

This kind of gossip immediately aroused the hatred of the sky, not only the Manchurians, but even those homesick Mongolians are also murderous, the Dzungars and the Han people collude with each other They know, the Chahar people also hooked up with the Han people, these Mongolian scum, actually raised the butcher's knife to their own people, and finally, all the hatred was transferred to the Han people, it is because of these Han people, if there were no them, the Guanwai would still be too peaceful, but as soon as they arrived outside the Guan, they first pushed the Dzungar people eastward, It was not for them who financed the rebellion of the Chahars, how could their hometown be plunged into war, and how could their own tribe be devastated by this?

At this high hour, someone lost no time in shouting the slogan of slaughtering the Han, and the Eight Banners Battalion exploded, and the murderous soldiers sharpened their knives and prepared for a decisive battle.

A day later, Suo Etu personally rushed from Jinan Mansion to the Manmeng camp in Suzhou, the news of the previous two days. He wrote superstitions, and the fast horse flew to Changning to be secretly executed, and now it is obviously effective, whether it is the Manchurian battalion or the Mongolian battalion, they are all eager to fight, and even the deserters of the Mongolian battalion are a lot less, although the morale of the Mongolian battalion is generally still a little low, but in comparison, it has been many times better.

The gate of Suzhou City was wide open, and it was already ready to welcome the Qincha, hundreds of catties. The soldiers were divided into two and lined up at the gate of the city, Niu Ning was dressed in a military uniform and waited here with a few Manchurian Mongolian Eight Banner Battalion generals for a long time, and when he arrived at Yufeng, Suo Emu's Qin chariot was late, Chang Ning did not show displeasure, and immediately stepped forward to greet him with a smile, Suo Etu's secret letter could have helped him a lot, if it weren't for his miscellaneous Since Mao asked some henchmen to make up some rumors, it is still a question whether the Mongolian battalion is stable or not, as soon as these rumors circulate, it is equivalent to tying the Manchus and Mongolians together, you see, Dzungaria, Chahar, and Han people are a gang, no matter if you are a Mongol or a Manchu, everyone will kill them when they see it, you still stay here honestly and defeat the Han people first, only if you defeat the Han people, let's go to Guanwai and avenge the brothers

Speaking of which, these Mongolians are really easy to deceive, and what they say and believe makes Chang Ning feel a lot more relieved.

"Master Suo, all the way to the tired, hard work and Chang Pregnancy and Suo Etu is acquainted, saw Suo Etu get out of the car, smiled in the past, directly took the hand of the court, very enthusiastic, the Manmeng generals behind him lined up, saluted Suo Etu.

Suo Etu's face was warm, and he smiled and shook Chang Ning's hand: "Prince Gong has lost a lot of weight recently, and the emperor often talks about you, saying that you have to pick up this burden at a young age, it is not easy, and now in my opinion, although Prince Gong is young, he still has the ability to govern the army, and sharpening and sharpening is the pillar of my Qing Dynasty." ”

Suo Etu's sentence praised Chang Ning's talent. It also shows the emperor's concern for this old five. made Zhen Ning smile even more brightly: "Chang Ning knows his own ability, and he can get into the eyes of Lord Suo, he is really ashamed Hehe, speaking of which Lord Suo has really lost a lot of weight, the state has been difficult over the years, and thanks to Lord Suo's industry, I don't know how much sorrow and trouble I have shared for the emperor, Lord Suo, it is windy here, let's go into the city to talk, Chang Ning has not been to Suo Mansion in the capital" Praise is afraid that Suo Fu is busy with state affairs. Delayed Lord Suo, now Chang Niu Fan has water and wine in Sichuan in the heart of the city, please don't give up, let's have a good time. ”

Although Chang Ning is a pro-jade identity, he still doesn't dare to take it big in front of Suo Etu, Suo Erran holds Chang Ning with one hand, strokes his beard with the other hand, squints and says: "I'm afraid this wine banquet will have to be put aside, and the emperor will say again." ”

Chang Ning immediately understood and nodded: "Then let's go to the city and find a place to get down to business first." ””

"The Green Battalion of the Rescue Lingbi" Chang Ning knelt in an empty room and listened to the instructions. I couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied, the emperor meant to immediately send troops to Lingbi County to rescue the green battalion that was attacked by the Ming army, originally there was nothing to rescue, but the green battalion really made this fifth elder brother look down on, sixty or seventy thousand people gave 30,000 Ming troops a whoa, and shamelessly asked for rescue, these Han soldiers are really useless, Chang Ning is naturally dissatisfied, these Han people have nothing to save. Let them fend for themselves. , For this year's light prince, he naturally didn't want to make a straight face and reprimand him to obey the order: "Lord Gong, every time you spit out, it is naturally useful, don't worry, let's talk slowly." ”

Suo Etu helped Chang Ning up, pressed him on the chair, and then said, "The Han military camp is really useless. The emperor is also thunderous about this, but Prince Gong thinks about it, how can these Han military camps be regarded as our people, if they don't save them when they see death, I'm afraid they will be pushed to the Ming reeds. That's one and the other. We spread rumors and went out, and finally boosted the morale of the Manmeng camp, how could those Han people let us get our wish, and they would definitely demolish us, so now the emperor means a battle decision, taking advantage of this kung fu, it is better to save and attract the Ming army lord Zhuo to fight, wouldn't it be good? ”

Of course, Chang Ning knew that the emperor had spoken Yu. Even if he is the emperor's younger brother, he can't change it, and the reason why he is dissatisfied is just to vent. Now Suo Etu has told the cause and effect. His face softened a lot: "Then Lord Iso, when are we going to pull it out?" ”

Suo Etu said: "Naturally, the sooner the better, the Ming army wants to fight with us, so we take advantage of their wishes." ”

Chang Ning nodded: "Then I'll arrange it later, and I'll start the day after tomorrow, Master Suo, this time the emperor asked you to come over, just because of this message?" "Chang Ning is not an idiot, Suo Etu is the right-hand man of the emperor's side, and he will send someone to send someone casually, where is the need for someone like Suo Etu to come out, naturally there is another reason.

Suo Etu smiled bitterly: "I can't hide these things from you, let's talk about it, the emperor's royal drive is about to be profitable, the emperor means." Fight to the death with the Ming army at all costs, the 50,000 Manchurian guards in Jinan Mansion have set off with the emperor, and the emperor plans to go to the front line in person, and I will come over now. It was for the emperor to play an outpost. ”

Chang Ning's heart trembled when he heard it: "What? The emperor is also coming? This can't be done, the imperial work is the body of ten thousand gold, the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, if there is any mistake, is it a trivial matter? Master Suo, why don't you persuade you? ”

The so-called pro-conquest of the emperor has always been in the rear, in fact, most of them are in the rear, where is the reason for the emperor to go to the front line in person, for example, this time Kangxi pro-conquest, originally just stationed in Shandong, to encourage the soldiers on the front line, really want to come to Anhui to visit the front line, this is a big deal.

Suo Etu smiled bitterly: "The emperor doesn't listen to me, let alone me." In the current situation, if this battle is lost, my elite is lost, the land north of the river will be completely undefended, and the Ming army will go north in one fell swoop, and it will only be a matter of time before the Beijing division is conquered. There is no way to retreat from our hometown in Liaodong. The emperor's move is just to go to the public to express his determination to break the kettle and urge the soldiers to work hard to defend the country, which is also a good intention. ”

Chang Ning nodded, What Suo Etu said is not wrong, the Manchus have regressed and can retreat, to put it mildly, even if the emperor does not personally conquer and stays in the city of Beijing, if the Manchu and Mongolian elites on the front line are wiped out, the Ming army will take Beijing City, and it will be a matter of time before the emperor is captured. Chang Ning no longer talked nonsense: "Since this is the case, then this news will spread tomorrow, and let the soldiers know that the emperor is behind us." It can also be used to boost morale. ”

Suo Etu said: "That's the truth. ”

The two of them were silent for a while, both worried about the situation in front of them, since even the emperor was forced to go to the front, it has shown that the current situation has become more and more out of control, but Wu Changning reacted first: "Lord Suo, I regret saying so much. It's time to rest, let's go, the banquet is going to be cold. Chang Ning will pick you up. ”，

The war has officially begun, well, a lot of materials have been prepared, and it can finally be used.
