Chapter 191: Loyal Ministers of the Great Qing Dynasty, Stop Fighting the Civil War, Come and Help Me!
In December of the 11th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, Xi'an was in Xi'an.
Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty was just walking around irritably in the south study he had set up in Xi'an. A large map of the situation of the nine provinces of "Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Hunan, Chu, Guangdong, and Guizhou" is spread on the ground of the south study. A group of ministers in full robes knelt next to this picture of the situation that looked more and more grim, including Jia Hanfu, Wang Fuchen's father-in-law, and Li Luo, who came from afar.
Kangxi's face was pale, and he looked extremely angry, his two fists were clenched tightly, his teeth were rattling, and he looked like he wanted to eat someone alive.
And Li Yan was still crying and complaining about the crimes of the group of rebellious ministers and thieves in Guangdong, and he didn't seem to remember that he himself was once a big warlord who owned half of Huizhou (half of Zhu Guozhi)!
"Your Majesty. It's all messed up over there! It was originally the territory of the imperial court, but now it has become the territory of the anti-thieves and the feudal town! Zu Zeqing, Sun Yanling, Ma Xiong, and Guo Yi have already accepted Wu Yi's false position, and they are all anti-thieves!
Wang Fuchen, Wang Zhongxiao, Shang Kexi, and Shang Zhixin are not good people, they all support their own troops, divide one side, regard the territory of the court and the army as their own private property, and can do anything in order to grab money and territory!
First of all, Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao seized Xiangshan, Xinhui and Xinning in the hands of the Shang family by attacking the Portuguese of Hao, Macao and Aobai, and also took advantage of the sea trade. Then, he equalized the land on the land of Xiangshan, Xinhui, and Xinning counties, trained the township army, and privately changed the official system to control the localities.
Then Shang Kexi, Shang Zhixiao, together with Zhu Guozhi and the minions, took advantage of the opportunity of Wang Fuchen's westward expedition to Sun Yanling and Zu Zeqing to attack Xiangshan and Macao, but the soldiers of the slave monk Shang Zhixiao could not defeat Wang Zhongxiao's Guangdong three county township army at all, and were defeated at the Xiaolan Ferry at the junction of Xiangshan and Shunde!
Slaves, slaves are guilty, slaves are also the same as Wang Fuchen, Wang Zhongxiao, Shang Kexi, Shang Zhixin, lard blindfolded, and also became a feudal town festival envoy who only cares about his own money and land regardless of the national disaster, and the slave should die! ”
Kangxi was already on fire - he is now in a hurry by Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng, the two steady old immortals, and the two fronts of Shaanxi, Gansu and Huguang are in a hurry! The troops are stretched thin, and they simply can't cope with it. And Wang Fuchen and Shang Kexi, these two bastards, have tens of thousands, tens of thousands! Isn't it easy for them to unite to get rid of Sun Yanling, Zu Zeqing, and Ma Xiong?
As long as Sun, Zu, and Ma are dealt with, the two Guang can draw at least 50,000 troops, and the situation in Huguang can be reversed immediately.
Once Huguang is firmly controlled by the imperial court, even if Wu Sangui takes the entire Gansu, he will not escape the end of defeat. But now Wang Fuchen and Shang Kexi not only don't help the court fight the traitors, but they also fight themselves!
"Your Majesty, the slave Jia Hanfu wants to join Wang Fuchen, Wang Zhongxiao's father and son!"
Although Jia Hanfu, the governor of Shaanxi, was a local magistrate, after Kangxi was stationed in Xi'an, he also obtained the qualification of "walking in the south study", and he could go to the south study to participate in the "general meeting of the Kangxi Emperor" together with the bachelors and Hanlin scholars who accompanied the expedition.
At this time, he was heartbroken, and he impeached his father-in-law with tears.
"What do you want to impeach Wang Fuchen?" Emperor Kangxi asked angrily.
"Your Majesty, the servants want to impeach Wang Fuchen for delaying the military plane and conniving with the enemy and the country." Jia Hanfu said, "Wang Fuchen had already surrounded five or six thousand people from the rebel Zu Zeqing's department in Yong'an Prefecture, and he was about to annihilate them in one fell swoop. However, he withdrew the siege of Yong'an Prefecture because of the sneak attack of his son Wang Zhongxiao's territory in Pingnan, and as a result, Zu Zeqing was in a desperate situation, all the way north, and now he has broken into the territory of Yongzhou, Hunan, and is about to join forces with Wu Zhiguogui's soldiers in Baoqing Mansion! ”
Hearing Jia Hanfu say this, Kangxi, who was already about to explode, became even more angry, his face was blue and white for a while, and he stood there staring at the small wooden plaques on the map that were placed in Yongzhou, Hunan, with the words "Zu Rebellion" written on them - a small wooden plaque symbolizes an army of 1,000 people, of course, it is only a rough one. Or a guessed number.
Zu Zeqing, the total soldier, originally had 2,000 soldiers, but he has been rebelling for a long time now, and the team must have expanded. When Wang Fuchen sent troops to fight Gaozhou Mansion and Leizhou Mansion before, he reported that Zu Zeqing had 10,000 soldiers. Later, it was reported that three or four thousand ancestral troops had been wiped out in Gao and Lei Erfu, and finally another five or six thousand were besieged in Yong'an Prefecture. Now these five or six thousand are all running to Hunan!
This is not an ordinary five or six thousand green battalion mixed rice soldiers, their backbone is the second and third generations of the Guanning Iron Cavalry handed down by Zu Dashou!
Although the number of people is not too much, at most about 1,000 people, the combat effectiveness of the five or six thousand troops supported by the backbone of this thousand Guanning is not comparable to the ordinary five or six thousand green battalion soldiers.
There were already Wu Guogui's nearly 30,000 troops (estimated), Li Zicheng's 20,000 or 30,000 (blind guesses) army here, and now there are five or six thousand more than Zu Zeqing. The total strength of the combined forces of Wu and Li should be 60,000, right?
The imperial court's army in Hunan only had 10,000 new green battalion troops, the governor of Hunan, the governor of Hunan, and a few green battalion soldiers with a total army, and the total strength could not exceed 30,000.
60,000 fights 30,000, and those 60,000 people are still Guan Ning and the thieves!
The situation in Hunan couldn't be better!
Then Kangxi turned his attention to Guangdong again. Then I saw a bunch of wooden signs on the Guangdong site!
Wang Fuchen and Shang Zhixin, these two loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty, have a lot of troops!
Wang Fuchen has 15,000 new troops in the green camp, Kong Sizhen has 5,000, Wang Zhongxiao has 20,000 Guangdong township troops, and one piece is 40,000!
Forty thousand!
Shang Zhixin's strength is actually not weak, there are still 8,000 people in the banner soldiers under the domain, there are still 4,000 people in the green battalion on the left and right wings, and there are always three or four thousand people in Guangdong's Fubiao and Governor Biao together, Chaozhen Liu Jinzhong, Shun Fan (Xu Shun Gong) Shang Shuying (Xu Shun Gong Shen Rui's adoptive mother), Raoping Wu Qifeng (Wu Liuqi's son) all have some soldiers and horses, and some other miscellaneous green battalion soldiers add together, if not 40,000, there are 30,000 thousands.
If 60,000 of them can join the Hunan battlefield, the situation in Hunan will immediately be reversed and greatly beneficial to the Qing Dynasty.
But now these 80,000 troops who obviously belong to the Qing Dynasty are confronting each other, and a big war is about to break out. Do you think Kangxi can not be angry?
However, Wang Fuchen, Wang Zhongxiao, and Shang Zhixin were still unable to beat or scold.
Because no matter how hateful they are, they are still the courtiers of the Qing Dynasty!
If Kangxi wants to fight them, he doesn't have extra soldiers to fight, he wants to scold them, scold them and annoy them, and really take refuge in Wu Sangui, or simply pull the flag himself to be the emperor, then these tens of thousands of troops are the enemies of the imperial court!
Thinking of this, Emperor Kangxi had no choice but to hold back his anger and set his eyes on Wang Zhongxiao's mentor Nalan Mingzhu, "Mingzhu! ”
Mingzhu looked sincerely frightened, and when he heard Kangxi calling his name, he hurriedly responded: "The slave is here!" ”
"You are Wang Zhongxiao's teacher, tell me what I should do?" Kangxi asked, "Why did I have such a loyal minister?" ”
"Your Majesty. If the slave does not teach the student well, the slave is guilty! "Mingzhu's face is covered with sweat, he is anxious, scared and hateful now. Originally, I was thinking about having a party fight with Suo Etu, but now I have no thoughts, and my mentality is about to collapse.
"Guilty?" Kangxi's face sank, "I don't want to know if you are guilty or not, what I want is a way!" ”
"Your Majesty. What do you want? Mingzhu asked.
"What's the solution? What can you do? Kangxi glared at him, "I want Wang Zhongxiao to believe in the monk's letter, stop the army and make peace, and send troops to Hunan together to share my worries, do you have a way?" ”
"Yes," said Mingzhu, "but the minions felt that it was not appropriate to do so." ”
"What's wrong? There's a way, you can say it quickly! Kangxi became interested when he heard it.
Mingzhu sighed: "Your Majesty, you have to forgive the slave for not being guilty, and the slave dares to say it." ”
"I forgive you for your innocence, say it quickly!"
"Your Majesty," said Mingzhu, "the current situation in Guangdong is a race between two tigers. One Guangdong is hard to tolerate two tigers! The Wang family and the Shang family both want to take Guangfu for themselves! If the emperor wants to transfer the troops of Guangdong to the north, he can only transfer the family of Wang and Shangzhong to Changsha, Hunan! ”
"What?" Kangxi almost vomited blood for Mingzhu's suggestion, "Then won't Changsha be sent out?" ”
"Your Majesty." Mingzhu said, "The current situation, Changsha is probably lost. If one of the Shang and Wang families can enter Changsha, at least it can ensure that Hunan will not be taken by Kou. This territory in Hunan is in the hands of the feudal town, it is better than in the hands of the traitors, right? As long as the traitors can be quelled, the disaster of the feudal town can always be solved slowly. Otherwise."
Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty will be over!
Kangxi turned his head and looked at Suo Etu, "Suo Etu, what do you think?" ”
Suo Etu frowned, and was also thinking hard there, and when he heard Kangxi's question, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the slave wants to ask Mingzhu, who should be transferred out of Guangdong?" ”
Mingzhu said: "Your Majesty, the slave suggested that the father and son of Wang Fuchen be transferred out of Guangdong!" ”
"Is it possible?" Soetu asked, "Now that their father and son have the upper hand. Are they willing to give up the fat that is about to be eaten? ”
"Then, then transfer the Shang family to the north." Mingzhu said again.
"The Shang family has been greatly injured in the Battle of Xiaolan, and Shang Zhixin has inexplicably become the ruler of the Pingnan Palace. Will it work to transfer his family to the north? In addition, as soon as the Shang family leaves, Guangdong will have the surname Wang! ”
"Suo Etu, then, who do you say will go north?" Kangxi couldn't help but ask.
Suo Etu said: "Your Majesty, the servants have two suggestions, one is for the court to mediate the dispute between Wang Shang and divide the territory between the two families and the rest of the families, so that they can keep their own borders and live in harmony; The second is to transfer Wang Fuchen to the north to aid Hunan and serve as the president and minister of Changsha Daying. ”
"Isn't that still the king and the ministers going north?" Mingzhu interjected.
"yes!" Kangxi also said.
"No," Suo Etu said, "Your Majesty, the minion means to first set up a number of feudal towns in Liangguang and divide them into territory, and then Wang Fuchen will lead the coalition army of Liangguang feudal towns to the north. ”
Kangxi asked: "Suo Etu, how many feudal towns do you want to set up in Liangguang?" ”
"This. Rong Nu thought about it," Suo Etu said, "Pingnan Wang's family, Xushungong's family, Chaozhen Town's family, and Dingnan's Wang's family. That's four! Wang Fuchen made him a Guangdong general. In addition, Wang Zhongxiao seems to be self-contained, right? ”
Kangxi looked at Li Rot.
Li Yan nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, Wang Zhongxiao's soldiers are called the Guangdong Township Army, and they are not one with Wang Fuchen's new army." ”
"Then seal him a town," said Suo Etu, "so that there will be six towns in Liangguang!" In addition, the slave also heard that Sun Yanling was angry because Wang Fuchen gave him a certain big green hat, but he was not the emperor, but Wang Fuchen. It's better to try to recruit an and make him a general in Guangxi.
In addition, Ma Xiong, the governor of Guangxi, can also try to recruit an and give a town the same. In this way, the two Guangzhou and eight feudal domains compete for the long, and the imperial court has nothing to worry about. ”
"Good!" Kangxi slapped his face and said with a smile, "Suo Etu, you are really my minister. So who can take a trip to Liangguang to persuade peace and divide the domain? ”
"The slave is willing to go!" Mingzhu took the initiative to ask for help.
"The minions are willing to go!" Jia Hanfu, the governor of Shaanxi, also asked Kangxi for advice.
"Your Majesty," said Suo Etu, "the servant suggested that Hong Shiming, Mingzhu and Jia Hanfu go on a trip to Liangguang together." ”
Kangxi glanced at Shaanxi Governor Jia Hanfu and Mingzhu, nodded and said, "The matter of peace between the two Guangxi, please leave it to you and Hong Shiming." ”
Mingzhu and Lao Jia hurriedly kowtowed.
Kangxi nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
Suo Etu also suggested: "In addition, the slave feels that the governor of Liangguang and the governor of Guangdong still have to be retained, after all, the imperial court cannot do without someone who speaks and manages affairs in Liangguang. ”
"That's right!" Kangxi said, "After the division of the two Guangxi domains, the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi and the feudal platforms and platforms of the two Guangxi are indeed not needed, but the governor must keep them, but where is the appropriate place for this governor's yamen?" Shaozhou? Huizhou? ”
"Guangzhou!" Suo Etu suggested, "Your Majesty, the servants suggested that the governor of Liangguang should be stationed in Guangzhou, and the governor of Guangdong should be stationed in Shaozhou!" And with Shaozhou Mansion as the governor of Liangguang and the governor of Guangdong, it is directly under the jurisdiction of the governor. Guangzhou City is jointly managed by all parties! ”
"Good! That's it! Kangxi sighed, "As for the candidate for governor, let Governor Zhu Guozhi do it!" Li Rot, you are still the commander, let that Chen Shikai be the general soldier of Shaozhou! ”
"Minion Command!" Li Yan hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.
Kangxi then said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with the Tang Dynasty's feudal towns. Without the blessing of the feudal town, the Tang Dynasty may not even be able to calm down the Anshi Rebellion! Now Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng are the history of the Qing Dynasty, as long as these two thieves can be pacified, I can not only give up Liangguang, but also the four provinces of Hunan, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, and I can also let them go out and set up feudal towns! I am willing to give out the land, as long as the people below can make meritorious contributions, I can give them the land, so that their children and grandchildren can enjoy it endlessly!
Li Fei, Du Lide, Xiong Cixu, and Chen Tingjing drafted their intentions according to my intentions, and I want to announce them to the world! ”
When these scholars and scholars of Hanlin were present, as well as Jia Hanfu, Li Yan and others heard Kangxi's statement, they had to admire Kangxi's dexterity!
In one go, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan were used to seal the feudal domains to reward the heroes.
Now Liangguang is ready to seal eight domains, if Hunan, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan are all sealed, how can there be one or twenty domains, right?
It's so big and so big!
Kangxi's "strategy of painting cakes and sealing the domain" soon made Wu Sangui, who was on the opposite side of the Qinling Mountains, known - although the road has been closed by heavy snow now, it still can't stop Wu Sangui from sending a fine work to slip over the mountains and mountains from Xi'an to Hanzhong.
However, His Royal Highness King Xiwang, the president of the revival of the Ming Dynasty, is not most concerned about what tricks Emperor Kangxi, the "little opponent", is going to use against him, in his opinion, it is only a matter of time before his old man receives Gansu and enters the customs.
His current method of "going out of Qi Mountain" is steady and steady, and he can't resist it step by step, and Wu Guogui is also very smooth in Huguang, and he has recently joined Zu Zeqing, and it is estimated that it will not take long to take Baoqing Mansion, and then Changsha and Hengyang. And Wu Yingxiong's strategy of "bear epicenter in the Central Plains, one bear is amazing" is also in full swing!
In short, the situation is very good!
And the only thing that makes people a little worried is that Li Zicheng who came out of nowhere!
This Li Zicheng has been extinct for many years, why did he suddenly come back to life? Although Wu Yingxiong had already reported to him that this was a ploy, Wu Sangui was still not very relieved. So he asked Wu Yingxiong, who was sitting in Kuimen, and Wu Shifan, who returned from Hunan, to rush to Hanzhong day and night to report the situation to the old man.
This Li Zicheng. Will it work out or not?
And that Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao, what kind of fame are they doing in Liangguang?
