"The Empress Dowager, the minions think that this Abu Nai and Brni are not very reliable"

As soon as Abu Nai and Burni followed Duoduo's third son, Dong Erdong Beile, who was the former minister of the Imperial Court in Beijing, left Cining Palace, and the old empress dowager was immediately reminded to be careful of Abu Nai and Burnny.

It can be seen that Abu Nai and Bulni are not good people, and he himself is not a good person, but the father-in-law of Emperor Kangxi, who led the guard and the minister of the interior, Kabula.

Bumu Butai pressed his forehead with his hand and sighed: "Of course I know that Abu Nai and Burni are going to rebel, the descendants of the Golden Family, the heir of the Great Yuan Khan, can be reliable to see the hell Now there are more and more thieves!" ”

"Empress Dowager, since you know that they are going to rebel, how can you pay it back."

Bumu Butai snorted coldly: "I know better that Abu Nai and Bulni are not Wu Sangui, nor Wang Fuchen, nor Lin Dan Khan!" They also did not have the ability to harness or even gather 50,000 Mongol cavalry. That's why I recruited 50,000 Mongolian cavalry for them to come to Beijing to listen to the edict.

With the prestige of the Golden Family's lineage and my will, they were able to gather tens of thousands of Mongolian warriors from the territory of the Chahar Eight Banners and the Xilin Gol League, the Zhaowuda League and the Ulanqab League!

However, it will take a lot of time to gather these tens of thousands of Mongolian strong men, so don't we also have time to gather people? And when Abu Nai and Burni put together the numbers, they didn't have enough money to buy people's hearts, and they couldn't even feed them for a long time, so they could only take this gang of uneven, poorly trained, and poorly equipped rabble to Beijing City to die! ”

At this point, Bumu Butai's voice suddenly became cold: "When we repair the personal soldiers of the Chahar King in front of tens of thousands of Mongols, and cut off the heads of Abu Nai and Bulni, the tens of thousands of Mongols they brought can really be used by us!" ”

In Cining Palace, I accompanied the old lady to meet with Abu Nai and some of the ministers who stayed in Beijing from Burnie, as well as Guanyinbao, who had just been sent to Beijing by Kangxi, and then I understood the old lady's sinister thoughts.

Sure enough, he is an old villain of the same generation as Huang Taiji and Dolgon!

"Fuquan!" The old wicked Bu Mu Butai suddenly shouted, and was stunned by what she had just said, and Yuwang Fuquan, who had not yet recovered.

"What do you command?" Fuquan, who reacted, hurriedly walked out with his robe and knelt down in front of the old grandmother.

"How many available troops do you have? Can it deal with 50,000 Mongol cavalry? Bumu Butai asked.

"This." When Fuquan was asked by the old lady, he immediately looked worried, "Huang Mama, most of the Eight Banners in Beijing, including the strong Baoyi, have been transferred to various places to serve as soldiers.

At present, there are almost no servants under the yamen of all the banners in Beijing, and only the old and weak are left to make up the numbers. If you don't count the guards who guard the Forbidden City, only the five battalions of the Green Battalion under Daniel Zhang and the recruits trained by Zhao Liangdong and others in Fengtai are available to Beijing now. That's a total of thirteen or four thousand.

Oh, by the way, Tianjin Weihe Tongzhou and Tianjin Customs Road tax collectors, boat soldiers, and clothed foreign slave soldiers, 3,000 people should also be able to pull out. ”

Three thousand green battalions. If that paralytic didn't eat too much, there should be 2,000 people, right? 10,000 slaves, this number should be enough, God knows if they can fight or not? Plus one or two thousand ruffians and a thousand handfuls of men. It seems to be quite a rabble, and the leader of the troops is still a paralyzed, a usurious profiteer, and a Portuguese soldier. Oh, just one Zhao Liangdong looks like a little.

The old lady is still using her Mongolian math to calculate in her mind!

The more you calculate, the cooler it gets!

Seeing the old lady's sad face, Guanyin Bao, the minister of the guard, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembered where there were elite soldiers, and quickly stood up and knelt down for the old lady, "The Empress Dowager, the servant Guanyin Bao knows that there is still a usable spirit under the guard, the number is about 1,000, it can be filled with sperm and ride, and it is very good at hand-to-hand combat!" ”

"Under the guards?" The old lady was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Kabula, the head of the guard.

"No, no!" Kabula shook his head, "The elite of the guard office have all asked the emperor to take them to Xi'an, and most of them have been sent down to lead the troops. ”

"Yes," Guanyin said, "Grandpa, you forgot that there is a right wing under the Shanpu camp, which has been stationed in Wutai Mountain. ”

This Guanyin Bao is talking about the right-wing soldiers of the Shanpu Battalion sent by Kangxi to Wutai Mountain to protect the great monk of Shunzhi.

The left flank of the Shanpu battalion is now Kangxi's personal soldiers, and they all followed to Xi'an, and the number has increased from 300 at the beginning to 1,000. All of them are good men selected from the children of the Eight Banners and the Three Banners! And well-equipped and well-trained, everyone is skilled in wrestling, cheating horses, and fighting black guns!

And the right wing of the Shanpu Battalion led by Li Sixing is a cold shortage of people who watch the temple gate, and the children of the Eight Banners and the clothed minions who have a way are unwilling to go, so Kangxi can only lower the standard and let people recruit more than 1,000 strong men from the other households under the Five Banners, the account holders, the Baoyi people and the Xin Zhiku of the Internal Affairs Bureau.

However, at that time, when the right-wing soldiers of the Shanpu Battalion were recruited, the Qing Dynasty was still peaceful and prosperous, and the children of the Eight Banners were still prosperous, and Xin Zheku also added a new batch of "Ao Party sinners", so the ones who were selected were still strong.

And these sturdies later seemed to be forgotten, and no one paid attention to them when they were thrown at the foot of Wutai Mountain for several years

"It's been in Wutai Mountain for several years, can they still fight?" Bumu Butai frowned and asked casually, "Can that Li Sixing train soldiers?" ”

She certainly hasn't forgotten the right wing of the camp. It's just that we need them now, and we have to think about it.

"Yes!" Guanyin Baodao, "The last time the slave followed the emperor to Xi'an, he passed by Wutai Mountain once, and this time he hit Wutai Mountain, and these two times the slaves paid careful attention to it, and found that the more than 1,000 good warriors of Wutai Mountain were trained quite well. Although they are not very good at wrestling, they are all skilled in bows and horses, and they can be used as elite cavalry. ”

Bu Mu Butai muttered: "Then speaking of which, Li Sixing is still a little capable." ”

Guanyin Bao shook his head: "As far as the slaves know, the reason why this right-wing soldier of the Shanpu Battalion was trained was not because Li Sixing was so capable, but because there were many Aobai henchmen selected from the Xin Zhiku, all of whom were relatively capable of fighting and could serve as the backbone.

In addition, there are more than a dozen monks with strong martial arts in the Qingliang Temple of Wutai Mountain, it is said that they are the guards of the first emperor, and they prayed for the first emperor after the death of the first emperor. ”

"And this thing" Bumu Butai smacked his lips, his brows furrowed even tighter, and after thinking for a while, he sighed, "It's really getting more and more lively!" Guanyinbao, you and Su Mala take a trip to Wutai Mountain together, and bring this right wing of the Shanpu Battalion back to Beijing! ”

When the old lady Bumu Butai was searching for troops everywhere and preparing to have a dark meal with the prince of the Chahar family, the atmosphere was also very strange in the "Geng Wangzhuang" in Fuzhou City.

Mingzhu, who has already had the experience of being rebelled, can almost smell the smell of rebellion in the air of Fuzhou City. That's right, that's the smell!

However, Mingzhu, who has already suffered in Guangzhou, does not dare to expose Geng Jingzhong in person at this time - he has already squatted in prison in Guangzhou once, but he doesn't want to go to prison in Fuzhou again.

Moreover, there is no Wang Shikai here in Fujian (is there really none?). If he really goes in, I'm afraid he won't even have a lifesaver.

But Mingzhu is a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty after all, although he is a little greedy, his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty is no less than greed, so he has to do everything possible to spoil Geng Jingzhong's good deeds.

But what tricks can Mingzhu think of now?

Just when he couldn't think about it, his good slave Zhang Wu smiled and came to him with two prayer posts and gift lists.

"Master, this is a greeting post from two people in the township Hanlin."

"In the village of Hanlin?" Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, and immediately his eyes lit up, "Li Guangdi, Chen Menglei? ”

"Master, you're really clever, it's the two of them!" Zhang Wu said with a smile, "These two families are both rich people here in Fujian. Do you see them? ”

"See!" Mingzhu immediately commanded, "Hurry, invite them in!" ”

He didn't invite those two to meet because he was greedy for Li Guangdi and Chen Menglei's bribes, but he knew Li Guangdi and Chen Menglei's loyalty!

These two people are Kangxi nine years of Jinshi, because the exam is particularly good, one is the second place in the second class, and the other is also quite high, so they were both selected to be Shu Jishi - that is, to enter the Hanlin Academy to study as an official, almost the meaning of D school for further study, after the expiration of the study period, both of them were assessed excellently and awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing.

For the Han civil officials of the Qing Dynasty, the Hanlin was awarded, and that was the real "compilation"!

After "having an editor", of course, it is to ask for leave to go home and save relatives!

Before, it was to catch the exam, study again, and "test editor", and these scholars haven't returned to their hometown to be filial sons for several years! Therefore, under normal circumstances, after being awarded the editing and becoming a regular worker in the Hanlin Academy, they all ask for family leave.

And Li Guangdi and Chen Menglei rushed to take the exam together, went to high school together, studied together, and went ashore for the exam together, and now they naturally ask for leave to go back to Fujian to visit relatives.

But unfortunately, after returning to Fujian, before being a filial son for a few days, the world was in chaos, and they also smelled the "bad smell"!

Geng Jingzhong, the vassal king who guarded Fujian, is going to rebel!

And what made the two of them realize that Geng Jingzhong was going to oppose was mainly three things.

What proverb is spreading everywhere in Fujian Province that "the Son of Heaven is on fire"!

Doesn't this "proverb" mean that Geng Jingzhong, the king of Jingnan, is a "doppelganger of the Son of Heaven"? The doppelganger of the Son of Heaven, that is also the Son of Heaven!

And "Geng" is not a big surname, the ancestor has never been the emperor, and it is not a "royal surname" like "Liu Tianxia and Li Banbian", why do the people pass on the surname Geng to the son of heaven?

It is clear that Geng Jingzhong was born and created by himself!

And the second thing that made Li Guangdi and Chen Menglei firmly believe that Geng Jingzhong was going to rebel was that Geng Jingzhong actually sent someone to invite these two Hanlin Academy editors to be strategists!

Are you kidding?

The Hanlin Academy is editing, and Wu Sangui, a strategist who is a vassal king, doesn't have a Hanlin Academy editor now!

Although Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao in Guangdong set up a reform school and collected many Confucians, they were all Confucian students who had not been established, and no matter how famous they were, they were also in the opposition.

And redacted. That's the "phase storage"!

Geng Jingzhong can make such a request, which means that he has long been inappropriate to be a vassal king!

And the third thing that convinced Li Guangdi and Chen Menglei that Geng Jingzhong would be the opposite, was that yesterday on the dock in Minxian County, Geng Jingzhong and the monk Zhixin hugged his head and cried because he was going to come to Fuzhou to shoot Mingzhu's sycophant, Li Guangdi, Chen Menglei and the two of them also came to Fuzhou Mansion, and they stood on the dock with a group of magistrates yesterday, so what is Geng Jingzhong's performance, can they still understand?

Two villagers in civilian clothes, Hanlin, were soon taken into the study of Mingzhu's residence in Fuzhou City by Zhang Wu, they were Li Guangdi and Chen Menglei.

There was no one in the study, and after the five people were brought in, they withdrew by themselves, and there was not even a single person serving tea, only a scholar Mingzhu, who sat there with a gloomy face.

Li Guangdi and Chen Menglei both know Mingzhu, and they also know that Mingzhu knows how to count etiquette, and they are also willing to talk about etiquette with the Han scholars below. Now seeing this posture, I also know that Mingzhu has sensed Geng Jingzhong's conspiracy and is going to talk to the two of them secretly!

So they both lifted their robes and gave Mingzhu a thousand salutes.

Mingzhu waved his hand to let the two of them get up, and then pointed to the two chairs next to him, "Jin Qing, Zezhen, sit down and talk." ”

Li Guangdi and Chen Menglei thanked each other, sat down, and then looked around again.

"There are no outsiders here." Mingzhu said, "There are also people guarding outside, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Fujian. Is it going to change? Geng Jingzhong also wants to learn from Wang Fuchen? ”

Li Guangdi shook his head: "I'm afraid it's more than that!" King Geng is already a king. If you just want to govern a few prefectures in Fujian, how can you change the sky? ”

Chen Menglei sighed and said: "Yes, if it's just Fujian changing the sky, it's nothing more than the second Guangdong. But King Geng's heart is much bigger than that of the royal army! ”

Mingzhu was even more nervous.

He originally thought that Geng Jingzhong's mind was the same as Wang Fuchen, and he wanted to be the king of Fujian to be reminded by Li Guangdi and Chen Menglei, and then he remembered that Geng Jingzhong was already a prince!

If you just want to be a real feudal lord in the territory of a few prefectures, please land on the above table!

The emperor can agree to Wang Fuchen and Kong Jiqing's secession of Guangdong and Guangxi, but how can he not agree to Geng Jingzhong's secession of Fujian? Anyway, Fujian can't pay a few taxes a year.

If Geng Jingzhong feels that the Qing Dynasty is no longer reliable, then there is no need to tear his face, just give Wu Sangui a watch. Anyway, it's a bet on both sides!

Now, Kangxi can only open his eyes and close his eyes.

For Geng Jingzhong, betting on both ends is the safest, no matter what, there is always a prince who can be. And if he only bets on one side, then if he loses the bet, he will not be finished.

And won. That is, a king, so what are you tossing?

"He wants to be emperor?" Mingzhu couldn't believe it, "He Geng Jingzhong also wants to be the emperor?" ”

Li Guangdi and Chen Menglei nodded.

"Why is he emperor?" Mingzhu was about to laugh angrily, "Why is he?" ”

"Ming Xiang, have you forgotten that Geng Jingzhong has received the holy decree and is going to lead the Fujian soldiers north to Jiangxi?" Li Guangdi reminded, "From Fujian out of Xianxia Pass into Jiangshan County in Quzhou, Zhejiang, and then to the west you can enter Jiangxi, to the north is Huizhou, and then north of Huizhou is Ningguo Mansion and Taiping Mansion!" Once the Taiping Mansion is controlled by Geng Jingzhong, the Yangtze River waterway may be cut off!

And Geng Jingzhong will go down the river again, and he will be able to do the thing of Hongwu entering Jiqing Mansion! ”

Chen Menglei added: "Ming Xiang, from Fujian to Jiangning, but just a thousand miles away. If the road is smooth, you can enter Jinling in ten days! ”

"Ten, ten." Mingzhu's face turned pale.

At this moment, the voice of his slave Zhang Wu suddenly came: "Master, King Geng asked you to come to the mansion to discuss the matter of going north!" ”

Mingzhu gasped and said in his heart: Your Majesty, there are more and more thieves in the Qing Dynasty, and even Geng Jingzhong has to do it!

Li Guangdi and Chen Menglei had already guessed everything, and Mingzhu also smelled a strong atmosphere of rebellion, and most of the other big people in Fuzhou City also noticed that something was wrong as long as they were not fools.

And Geng Jingzhong, who has no experience in rebellion, still thinks that everything is still going on in secret!

Except for Zeng Yangxing, Bai Xianzhong, Xu Wenyao, Wang Shiyu, Yu Renying and Li Daoren, no one in Fuzhou City knew that he was going to rebel!

And those henchmen are also very tight-lipped, and it is impossible for them to leak the news that he is going to rebel.

Even, the Yanping Wangfu and Liu Jinzhong, who joined forces with him, did not know the specific plan of his rebellion. This plan is now known to him and a few henchmen below, so it is impossible for anyone on the Qing side to know that he will take the opportunity of going north to reinforce Jiangxi, suddenly lead his troops into Anhui, and then rush to the Taiping Mansion, and finally break into Nanjing City and put the third prince Zhu on power!

So. You're in control!
