"Shikai, eat quickly! I heard Xiao Yinzi and Xiao Baozi say that you liked the dishes in the imperial dining room when you were a child, and when you were a child, you often slipped into the imperial dining room with Xiao Baozi and Xiao Yinzi to eat. Why is there no appetite now? ”

"Your Majesty, slave, slave is just too happy to be able to accompany the emperor to dinner, slave. Woo."

"Big head, why do you cry when you eat? It is a great honor for others to accompany the emperor to dinner, it is called a banquet, but you are the emperor's own person, this is a family banquet today, don't be so restrained. ”

"Whoa"

In the Hanyuan Hall on Yingtai Island, a large table of delicacies has been placed at this time, and there are only eight people who enjoy the delicious food of this table, including Kangxi, Fuquan, Jieshu, Kong Sizhen, Geng Jingzhong, Wang Fuchen, Wang Zhongxiao, Cao Yin, and Le Taiyi.

This is Emperor Kangxi's practice of giving banquets to Jieshu, Geng Jingzhong, Wang Zhongxiao, Wang Fuchen and others!

These are all loyal (final) ministers of the Qing Dynasty, and they are still the ones who work hard!

In order to be loyal to the (final) Qing Dynasty, I can't take care of the New Year's Festival, so I have to go out of Beijing to find Zhu San, defend Fujian, and train the new army - among them, Jieshu, Wang Zhongxiao, Cao Yin, and Le Taiyi have to take two jobs when they go out of Beijing, one is to go to Suzhou to find the third prince of Zhu. It's "finding", not "catching"!

After "finding", I have to take out the holy decree of Emperor Kangxi and invite the third prince Zhu to go to Beijing to enjoy happiness, but the third prince's family is not blessed, and he died of plague in Suzhou, so he can't complain about Kangxi.

Kangxi is a good emperor, and Zhu San died of plague because the number of Daming Qi was exhausted!

And the second task of the four of them, of course, is to send Geng Jingzhong to Fujian to be the lord Geng Jimao has been ill for a long time, and he should be dying, even if he can't die for a while, he can also be dragged to Beijing to die, if he really refuses to come, isn't there still a doctor Letai?

In short, Geng Jimao's vassal lord had come to an end, and he had to give up his seat to Geng Jingzhong, a Heshuo who was more loyal to the Qing Dynasty.

Wang Fuchen went all the way alone, he went to Tianjin Station to help Emperor Kangxi train his troops!

This Kangxi Emperor's execution is really not to say, the matter that was finally finalized in September is only in mid-October, and it is already in full swing.

The Yamen, the governor of Zhili, recruited more than 10,000 people, and was working day and night in the area on both sides of the canal around the small station to build barracks. The governors of Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, and Zhili all received an edict from Mingfa and began to recruit soldiers for the new army of the Green Battalion. The first batch of recruits Ding Zhuang has now arrived at the military camp of Tianjin Wei.

Daniel Zhang and Zhao Liangdong, the two military training ministers, had already handed over their original official posts, and each led his henchmen and more than 1,000 soldiers from their garrisons to Beijing.

Wang Fuchen himself has also worked very hard, and these days he has selected the address of the new army camp, formulated the new army camp system, and collected materials everywhere to piece together a set of training regulations (drill codes) for the horses, infantry, and artillery armies. And Kangxi's own military talent is also very high, he first found the Jesuit missionary Nan Huairen, who was imprisoned and almost chopped down in the era of Aobai in power, to help him design and cast artillery. Then he used his brains and instructed a group of court painters to create a few drawings of the three armies and sent them to Wang Fuchen and Yue Le, so that they could practice according to the formation map.

Wang Zhongxiao has already studied these formations, and the drawings are really good, and all the villains are vivid. Moreover, the combination of horses, infantry, and artillery on the map is also quite reasonable, and it is really difficult to fight if it is placed on flat ground. When I go back, I must send a copy to Wu Sangui and let him study it carefully.

And Jieshu and Geng Jingzhong are also ready to go to Fujian at any time - this Prince Kang Jieshu and Geng Jingzhong, the prince of Jingnan, are actually Kangxi insured the road of Liangguang and Fujian.

Jieshu went south this time with the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers, and it was not one or two, but a full two thousand Eight Banners strong army!

If there was any change on Wu Sangui's side, then Jieshu would not return to Beijing after sending Geng Jingzhong to take office, but would lead two thousand Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers to sit in Fuzhou nearby, and mobilize the elites of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian provinces to support Liangguang.

At the same time, Kangxi also deployed in Shaanxi, Gansu and Huguang. Mo Luo, the governor of Shanxi, and Varka, the general of Xi'an, both went to Beijing a while ago, and they had already asked Kangxi for their previous incident of sending Ao to worship the sycophants, and they also deposited silver in Fuquan's Credit Suixin Hall, and were forgiven by Kangxi. Kangxi also ordered them to set off with the 2,000 Eight Banners reinforcement force in Shaanxi and return to Shaanxi to take over the defense of Ganxi.

In addition, Kangxi also ordered Sun Sike, the former commander of Liangzhou, to serve as the governor of Gansu, and Chen Fu, the former commander of Chongqing, to serve as the governor of Shaanxi, and ordered them to rectify the green camp of Gansu and Shaanxi as soon as possible.

In terms of Huguang, Kangxi also made corresponding deployments. Under the recommendation of Suo Etudi, Cai Yurong, who was a former servant of the Ministry of Officials and a member of the Zhengbai Banner Han Army, became the governor of Huguang. and raised the number of pacesetters of the governor of Huguang from the original 3,000 to 5,000. At the same time, Kangxi also prepared to increase the number of Jingzhou's garrison eight banners in the near future, and set up the post of Jingzhou garrison general.

However, Kangxi did not strengthen the deployment in Sichuan and Guizhou, the two provinces that were greatly influenced by Wu Sangui, nor did he immediately send Dingnan Gege Kong Sizhen to Guangxi, that is to say, Kangxi strengthened the deployment against Wu Sangui, but also left a lot of buffer space between himself and Wu Sangui.

Obviously, there is still a desire to resolve Wu Sangui peacefully.

The way to peacefully solve Wu Sangui is, of course, to exchange Xiao Wu for Lao Wu! And in order to cooperate with the action of "Xiao Wu for Lao Wu", Geng Jimao of Fujian and Shang Kexi of Guangdong have to take one step first, oh, one step first. The two of them had to set an example for Wu Sangui, and at the same time, let all the eagle dogs and lackeys under the Pingxi King Domain take a look. The emperor wants to replace only Wu Sangui alone!

Today's Yingtai banquet is mainly held to cheer up the loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty who are carrying out the big plan of "exchanging the old with the small".

What is this Yingtai Island? That is the place where Emperor Guangxu retires, thinking about the fate of Guangxu back then, can Wang Zhongxiao not be excited, can he not be happy? Can you not pretend to be grateful?

After all, he is just an eighteen-year-old young official, who has risen to the third rank as if he was on a rocket, and he has the grace of accompanying the emperor to dinner.

This favor has surpassed many old oil officials who have been wandering in the sea for many years. Can you not be grateful?

If it weren't for the country and the people, and he had done a lot of bullying things before, Wang Zhongxiao would have wanted to lie down and not work hard.

Since he didn't dare to lie down, he had to continue to accompany Kangxi to play the role of Jun En and Chenzhong, wiping his tears while picking up some dishes with chopsticks and stuffing them into his mouth.

Emperor Kangxi was very satisfied with this, nodded with satisfaction, and set his eyes on Wang Fuchen again. Wang Fuchen didn't cry and looked at him, he was all greeting Kong Sizhen, and Kong Sizhen kept flirting with Wang Fuchen.

However, the performance of this pair of dog men and women also made Kangxi very satisfied - Kong Sizhen's loyalty to the Qing Dynasty is not in doubt, and Wang Fuchen's soul has been half taken away by Kong Sizhen, are you afraid that he will not work hard to help the court train the new army?

After training the soldiers, he can go south with Kong Sizhen to live a free life in Liangguang!

Thinking of this, Kangxi coughed and said to Wang Fuchen: "Fuchen! ”

"The minions are here!" Wang Fuchen immediately interrupted eye contact with Kong Sizhen, and stood up and knelt down for Kangxi.

"Sit, sit today is a family feast, no need to be formal." Kangxi smiled and beckoned to Wang Fuchen, asking him to sit down again, and then lowered his voice and said, "Fuchen, there will be a battle between me and Wu Sangui!" Although Wu Sangui is in a remote corner, and the troops and financial resources he can come up with are extremely limited, he must have been preparing for many years in order to create a rebellion against the Qing Dynasty! ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" Wang Fuchen said, "The slave has been in Yunnan for all these years, but seeing that Wu Sangui, the old thief, is preparing to rebel, since last year, the speed of this old thief's preparation has been significantly accelerated, and the soldiers and horses under his command have almost expanded to 100,000, and the number of soldiers given by the imperial court to Pingxi Wangfu and Yunnan is only more than 30,000!" ”

Kangxi nodded, "So I have to step up my preparations, otherwise when Wu Lao Thief is ready, I will be caught off guard!" ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" Wang Fuchen first said a compliment, and then began to brag, "As long as you give the slave another year and a half, the slave will be able to train 30,000 elite soldiers for the emperor, and then the slave will take them to raze Yunnan for the emperor!" ”

"Fuchen," Kangxi waved his hand and said with a smile, "Although you are loyal and brave, you are still a little resourceless!" I am not in a hurry to enter Yunnan, and the Qing Dynasty is not in a hurry. I have the whole world, and Wu Lao Thief has only one Yunnan, maybe plus Guizhou. But neither province is a rich place, and the population is small. Therefore, as long as I can block Wu Sangui in Yunnan and Guizhou, then I will win.

As long as my new army of the six towns is trained, I can further tighten the encirclement of Yungui and deploy heavy troops in Guangxi, Sichuan, and Hunan, and then I can order someone to escort Wu Yingxiong to Yunnan to take the throne.

Although Wu Sangui has made a lot of unsubordinate actions over the years, as long as he is willing to hand over the affairs of the domain to Wu Yingxiong and come to Beijing to retire himself, I can still not blame the past. The Pingxi clan can also be passed on! ”

Wang Zhongxiao listened to Kangxi's words and pondered in his heart - this Kangxi is really a bit talented! His arrangement is actually quite methodical. He did not rush into Yungui and settle the battle in one battle, but arranged a step-by-step and steady encirclement and suppression strategy.

"The slave understands," Wang Fuchen said with a smile, "The slave must live up to the emperor's trust and trap Wu Sangui between the lofty mountains and mountains of Yungui, but"

After "but", of course, it is necessary to put forward conditions!

Kangxi is also a sensible little emperor, when he heard the word "but", he didn't wait for Wang Fuchen to say everything after he said it, so he smiled and said, "But what? If you want money, a house or land, let's say, I don't have to do it. ”

It's okay!

Wang Fuchen said with a smile: "The emperor really knows the preferences of the slaves too well, there are many people in the slaves' families, and they need to earn some property to leave to them." However, the slave wants to ask the emperor for grace today, but it is not silver and land property, but in order to do the emperor's errand, I want to ask the emperor to grant the slave's three requirements. ”

Kangxi nodded: "Say, what are the requirements?" ”

Wang Fuchen said: "Your Majesty, the first request of the slave is to transfer a few people to the slave's side to help. ”

Kangxi asked, "Who are they?" ”

"The slave wants to transfer Shao Lingzhi, Cai Yuan, Bai Guangyong, Gong Rongyu, Huang Jiuchou, Li Shiying and other six people. Among these six people, Shao Lingzhi, Cai Yuan, and Bai Guangyong are all deputy generals, Gong Rongyu and Huang Jiuchou are generals, and Li Shiying is a guerrilla. They are all old slaves, and they are currently serving in Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. ”

Kangxi nodded: "Accurate!" I went back and wrote an excerpt, I want to make it clear where the lieutenants, generals, and guerrillas are the military attachés, and I will ask the military department to help you arrange it. ”

"Emperor Xie," Wang Fuchen finally said, "the second request of the minions is to let Shao Lingzhi, Cai Yuan, Bai Guangyong, and Li Shiying recruit four thousand Ding Zhuang from Shaanxi and Gansu to come to Beizhili together. It's not that the minions think that the soldiers recruited by Zhili, Henan, Shanxi, Shandong and other provinces are not useful. It is bitter and barren, and the poor mountains and bad waters have produced elite soldiers since ancient times! Moreover, if four thousand more recruits are recruited into the camp, the minions will be able to eliminate some more unusable soldiers. And if someone is laid off, the rest will work hard. ”

Kangxi smiled: "Okay, what you said is reasonable, you really know how to train soldiers, and I am also accurate in this article!" ”

"Your Majesty, the third request of the slave is to let the slave's old friend, the former Guyuan Zhizhou Bashan, who is being selected in Beijing, just go to Zhaoqing, Guangdong, to be the prefect."

"What," Kangxi was stunned, "you want to transfer a civil official to Guangdong as a prefect?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Fuchen said, "The slave is not to abuse power, but to quickly gain a foothold in Liangguang in the future." And in order to gain a firm foothold in Guangdong, the slaves must also have reliable local people, at least have an obedient and obedient Zhaoqing prefect. Zhaoqing is the residence of the governor of Liangguang, so let this Bashan go to Zhaoqing to fight the front station earlier, and wait for the slaves to take office, so that they can have no worries. ”

In fact, arranging for this Bashan to go to Zhaoqing, Guangdong, to become the prefect was a method discussed by Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao to develop the Restoration Society.

"Makes sense!" Kangxi nodded, "I have approved Wang Fuchen, I have approved all the three articles you requested!" ”

Wang Fuchen hurriedly thanked him; "Thank you, the emperor approved the minion's invitation, and the servant has the bottom in his heart. In two years at most, the two Guangxi sides will be foolproof! ”

Kangxi nodded and said with a smile: "Okay!" Wang Fuchen, you have trained well in the past two years, and I have also prepared well. After two years, I will be able to free myself to clean up Wu Sangui. If he knows each other a little, hands over the affairs of the domain and worships himself, and honestly comes to Beijing to retire, I can still tolerate him. Otherwise, I will take the elite of the six towns as the main force and enter Yungui from the three directions of Sichuan, Hunan, and Guangxi. And I'm not in a hurry to win, I'll spend every step of the way for the camp and him. I have the world, I don't believe that Wu Sangui can't be consumed! ”

Hearing Kangxi say this, Wang Zhongxiao was relieved. Because he knew that it was impossible for Wu Sangui to hand over Aobai! Ao Bai has turned to ashes, how can Wu Sangui hand it over? Since you can't hand over Aobai, you can only rebel with Aobai!

Kangxi lowered his tone again at this time: "But I won't show weakness to Wu Sangui in the past two years!" Because if I show weakness, the old thief will definitely gain an inch. The traitors in all parts of the Jiangnan will also be lucky. This time, Wu Sangui married his daughter to the third prince of Zhu who was known as Wang Yongkang, and let the third prince of Zhu return to Suzhou to sit in the town, probably because I was afraid of him and didn't dare to touch his daughter and son-in-law! But I'm going to touch his tiger ass! At the same time, I also want to let the gentry in Jiangnan who are still thinking about the previous dynasty see that I am not afraid of Wu Sangui, and it is Wu Sangui, an old horseman, who is afraid of me! ”

When Kangxi's words came to the back, his tone was already full of murderous energy! It seems that he is really not afraid of Wu Sangui and Zhu Sanzi. Oh, he hasn't seen "The World is Public" now, and he hasn't heard anyone sing the impassioned "Datong Song", otherwise he should know that his murderous aura is nothing at all in front of the third prince Zhu, who has already understood the mystery of rebellion.

And when he heard that Kangxi was going to touch Wu Sangui's buttocks, Wang Zhongxiao knew that it was time for him to kneel - Emperor Xiao Mazi wanted to "touch" Wu Sangui's buttocks, and he had to help! Otherwise, how can you touch it?

As for the misunderstanding, of course Wang Zhongxiao has to find a way. We need to make this misunderstanding even bigger!

"The emperor can rest assured, the slave will definitely go." Wang Zhongxiao put down his chopsticks, lay on the ground and said, "I must help the emperor invite the third prince Zhu to Beijing to enjoy the blessings, and I will definitely let the third prince Zhu know that the emperor is the best emperor in the past, not to mention that he is a third prince, even if his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang comes, he can only honestly be obedient to the emperor!" ”

Kangxi smiled: "Wang Datou, why are you also a sycophant?" Zhu Yuanzhang's ability is great, and I am still a little worse than him. ”

"Your Majesty," Wang Zhongxiao continued to pat: "Zhu Yuanzhang's skills are great, he started with a bowl and laid down the whole world, but now the world is peaceful under the governance of the emperor, the wind and rain are smooth, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and no one asks for food." If Zhu Yuanzhang was born at the moment, he would probably go to study and take the Xiucai exam. ”

"Hahaha!"

Now that the sycophants were in place, Kang Mazi laughed, "Wang Datou, you are right, as long as the people under my rule have food and clothing, how much storm can Wu Sangui, Ao Bai and others set off?"

Jieshu, Wang Shikai, Cao Yin, Le Taiyi! ”

"The Minions Are In"

Several people who were named knew that Kangxi was going to pass on the message, so they quickly knelt down for the child emperor.

"Pack up and leave for Jiangnan as soon as possible!"

"Minion Command!"
