Chapter 256: Study Hard, Get Bad Every Day! (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)
In the thirteenth year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi, who was working hard to learn badly, finally won the first victory in the defense of Xi'an!
Wu Yingxiong and Wu Yingqi, two big warlords whose moral level has yet to decline, are now taking Uncle Liu's script.
They led the refugees who had been driven out of Xi'an, plus the refugees mobilized from Lintong, Gaoling, Jingyang, Xianyang, Xingping, Juxian, Lantian, Liquan and other counties around Xi'an, a total of 450,000 people, and ran away in a hurry.
Although they have Uncle Liu's script, the two of them have the strength of Prime Minister Cao!
The brothers have a total of 100,000 troops!
And they are all victorious soldiers who have won battles all the way, and it is really not easy for Kangxi to force them away from Xi'an City.
But Wu Yingxiong and Wu Yingqi will not admit defeat easily, for them, this time the Battle of Xi'an is also a great victory, full of harvest!
Wu Yingxiong's ten guards, a total of 50,000 troops, set out from Xiangyang, first went down to Nanyang Mansion without bloodshed, and then marched west to break through Wuguan and take the entire Shangzhou.
Now that this prefecture and state have been firmly held, Wu Yingxiong doesn't want to spit it out again.
So he has arranged for Wu Shifan, Guo Zhuangtu, Yang Laijia, Cai Lu, Huang Zhengse and others to lead 17,000 troops to guard Nanyang and Shangzhou - firmly hold the gate to enter Guanzhong from the southeast, when you miss Kangxi, you can use Shangzhou as a base, and you can go outside Xi'an in a few days!
And he himself naturally took the main force to escort the more than 200,000 refugees he "rescued" from the territory of Xi'an Prefecture, and took the road that made the good governor of Shaanxi, Jia Hanfu, the old man of Jia, a good governor of Kangxi, repair a smooth and smooth road, and retreated to Hanzhong, and then went to Chongqing.
It's a mighty and mighty, not a panic. More than 200,000 refugees were organized into 60,000 households, and each of the 10,000 households selected 6,000 people, and the officers sent by Wu Yingxiong led the front and rear guards of the 10,000 households. And Wu Yingxiong and Wang Pingfan personally led more than 30,000 Wu family troops in the back hall! In the face of such a powerful army of the palace, Rao is Kangxi has learned badly and there is nothing to do, if he wants to learn Cao Cao's pursuit of Liu Bei, who ran away with the people in Jingzhou, to chase Wu Yingxiong, it is not bad, but stupid!
And Wu Yingqi's side, this wave also won hemp. Before the heavy snow closed the road last winter, he had already eaten Qinzhou, Gongchang, Lanzhou and other prefectures and two prefectures in Gansu, plus the Jiezhou that he had already taken, there were a total of two prefectures and two prefectures under his direct control. It is not easy for these two prefectures and two states to fight, except for Lanzhou Mansion, the others are all hard to gnaw.
originally thought that he would continue to gnaw after the beginning of spring this year, but who would have thought that his "Brother Xiong" would suddenly go berserk, and a bear Zhenhua would enter Guanzhong and besiege Xi'an, directly collapsing the Guanlong defense line that Kangxi and Laita had painstakingly managed.
After Wu Yingqi got the news, he immediately gathered his army and rushed into Fengxiang Mansion, which was originally well defended, and took Dasanguan, Chencang Mountain, Yixian, Xiegu Pass, Wuzhangyuan, and Qishan County - you can know what kind of place these places are just by looking at the place names? It's so important! Then he rushed to Xi'an to join his brother, and "one bear and one unicorn" surrounded Kang Mazi.
Because his brother Wu Yingxiong had too much conscience, he lost the opportunity to beat Kangxi to death with a stick, but the harvest was still quite good, and there was a chance to continue to beat Emperor Kangxi.
Because the Fengxiang Mansion closest to Gansu had all belonged to Wu Yingqi, he then ordered the people of Fengxiang Mansion to build a "Jucheng" for himself in Wuzhangyuan, Qishan County, and prepared to serve as his base camp for running Guanzhong.
lived in Zhuge Liang's Tuntian's Wuzhangyuan Zhucheng, which shows that he wanted to learn from Zhuge Liang of the last Northern Expedition, and directly in Guanzhong Tuntian, while farming with Kangxi.
Didn't Kangxi cherish the Han people? Okay, let's go to farming!
Will those banner men and banner family members under Kangxi farm the land? Are there Han Chinese farmers who plant well?
In order to farm with Kangxi, Wu Yingqi did not take the refugees assigned to him to Sichuan, but asked his son Wu Shicong to lead less than 200,000 people to go to Chengdu through the Guandao, and he led 10,000 households (not mouths, but households) to Tuntian here in Fengxiang Mansion!
Although the soldiers and horses of Erwu did not even leave Guanzhong, and the two flashing gates in Guanzhong, Wuguan and Dasanguan, were also in the hands of the old Wu family, but the Wu army around Xi'an finally retreated, and Kangxi also temporarily gained the freedom to pass the decree and read the chapter!
His decree, the Ninety-Five Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, can now finally be sent to those loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty who also have more freedomβoriginally only Han officials had the freedom of loyal subjects, and the Manchurians and Mongols seem to have little freedom in this regard. But now, the Manchurian and Mongol officials of the Qing Dynasty are also free! They can choose between Emperor Kangxi and Prince Regent Fuquan.
And this multiple-choice question is still a multiple-choice question, you can choose both the loyal emperor and the loyal regent Zhong, one is loyal, and the two are also loyal!
The Admiral of the Qing Dynasty who sat in the camp of Qixia Mountain, the Minister of Military Affairs of Liangjiang, Zhejiang, and Fujian, the Minister of Management of the Jiangdong Battalion, the Governor of Liangjiang, the Acting General of Jiangning, and Prince An Yue Le were such a loyal and important minister of the Qing Dynasty.
Although this prince has a bit of loyalty, he doesn't do his errands very well - mainly because he is not bad enough!
When he followed him Ama Abatai and the boss of the Huang Taiji family, Haoge, to fight in the east and west, in fact, the moral standards were still very low.
But later, after Shunzhi, who was "dying", used an emperor's hat that was impossible to wear on his head, he could only stay at home every day and learn well - he was deprived of the right to do bad things in those years, and he was also placed under residential surveillance, where did he dare to do evil? People are lacking an excuse to deal with him, and if they really want to do a lot of evil, they just cut him.
And this cautious good man has been in office for a long time, Yue Le's ability to do bad things has declined, and practice makes perfect in everything! He hasn't done anything bad for so many years, and now he can't let go of it.
For example, this time, although he drew a big cake of "slaughtering Nanjing, not sealing the knife" to encourage the soldiers below, but to slaughter Nanjing, you must first defeat Nanjing!
How to fight?
His army is now blocked in the east of Nanjing, north of the Purple Mountain, and it is simply an impossible task to break the walls around the Shence Gate, Jinchuan Gate, and Zhongfu Gate.
After Yue Le completed the construction of a series of hard villages such as the Qixia Mountain Camp and the Lime Mountain North Camp, the Jubao Mountain South Camp, and the Xuanwu Lake Front Camp, he organized several tentative attacks in February of the thirteenth year of Kangxi, and all of them crashed into the Ming army's iron wall-like defense, and even the real city wall of Nanjing was not touched. And each time it was a corpse that was left in one place before retreating. The firepower of the Ming army defending the city is not only fierce, but also accurate!
The troops sent out by Yue Le to test the city, as long as they entered within a hundred steps of the Nanjing trench, they could be shot by the enemy's sharpshooters with muskets!
Although there are not many sharpshooters in the Ming army, they can be killed and injured every time (and killed) Yue Le two or three hundred, even if he pushes the shield cart and arches up, the situation is not much better, it is nothing more than being able to get closer to the moat.
Yue Le's tentative attack was to mobilize two or three thousand people and give away ten percent of the heads, who else dared to continue to rush forward without knowing death?
So Yue Le tried several times, and each time he dispersed and closed the team dozens of steps away from the moat, which was the first step in even attacking the city-filling the trench before it began.
Just when Yue Le's whole army was a little discouraged about the invasion of Nanjing, Emperor Kangxi's holy decree of teaching people to learn bad was suddenly sent to the camp of Qixia Mountain!
"Lord Wang, the emperor's letter has arrived!"
In the Qixia Zen Temple, which was occupied by Yue Le's Chinese army, Yue Le, who was sitting in the lobby discussing with Mingzhu, Ma Hu, and Mu Tianyan, several leading figures in the officialdom of Liangjiang, how to raise more food and salaries, and to maintain the growing expenses of the Jiangdong camp and the Jiangbei camp, suddenly heard a piece of news that made him a little puzzled.
"What? The emperor's letter? Which emperor? Yue Le was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, and then blurted out a seemingly rebellious question.
However, Mingzhu, Ma Hu, and Mu Tianyan who were present didn't have the slightest intention of criticizing Yue Le, but asked along with them.
"Lord, take a look, which emperor sent us a letter."
"yes, it can't be the Lord Regent ascending the throne, right? I haven't handed this persuasion form yet! β
"Ma Futai, why haven't you been persuaded yet? I'm already on it! β
"Ming Cao Shuai, where can I compare with you? How close are you to Yuwang? I heard that King Yu's favorite concubine, Nalan, is still your niece! β
"Cao Shuai, King Yu is the emperor, you will be of great use!"
"Hey, hey."
If Kangxi wants to see this Mu, he has to be angry.
He also wanted to teach his subordinates to learn badly, but his subordinates didn't need him to teach them to be worse than the other, but this bad water was not used in the right place!
"What?"
Just when Mingzhu, Ma Hu, and Mu Tianyan all thought that Fuquan had become the emperor, Yue Le suddenly exclaimed: "Actually, it was actually the emperor of Xi'an who gave us another decree!" β
"The emperor of Xi'an? He, he shouldn't." Mingzhu just wanted to ask if Kangxi couldn't resist the surrender? After thinking about it, he quickly closed his voice and looked at Yue Le in a daze.
Ma Hu and Mu Tianyan were also inexplicably surprised - in their opinion, Wu Yingxiong and Wu Yingqi were both in Xi'an! The four main forces of the old Wu family are two, and Kangxi is still good?
How can I still send it now?
"Ancestor bless!" Yue Le's tears had already come down at this time, crying! While crying, he said: "The emperor actually repelled Wu Yingxiong and Wu Yingqi!" The siege of Xi'an was lifted, and the Qing Dynasty. There is salvation! β
And this kind of thing?
"How did the emperor do it?" Mingzhu asked in a trembling voice.
"yes, how is that possible?" Mu Tianyan's color also changed greatly. What he admires now is the face of Fuquan!
"I knew that the emperor was blessed with all the heavens!" Ma Hu is happy now, although he is ready to persuade the watch, thinking that he will send it in the next two days, but after all, he has not sent it yet!
As long as the persuasion table has not been sent, Ta Mahu is a loyal minister of Emperor Kangxi! turned around and made a secret fold, and sold Yue Le, Mingzhu, and Mu Tianyan! In this way, the emperor will definitely regard him as a confidant!
Yue Le closed the fold and frowned: "The emperor's court didn't say how he repelled Wu Yingxiong and Wu Yingqi, but the siege of Xi'an must have been solved. There should be no problem for the time being, because the emperor did not let us send troops to Qin Wang, but urged us to take Nanjing as soon as possible! β
"As soon as possible? This." Ma Hu, the governor of Jiangsu, did not give Fuquan a list of persuasions, and now he is Kangxi's hardcore loyal minister, of course he has to be active in military affairs, so he is very enthusiastic to discuss with Yue Le, "Lord, can this matter be done quickly?" β
Yue Le didn't say much to Ma Hu, and directly handed the letter to Ma Hu, "Ma Futai, see for yourself, the emperor already has instructions, and it has something to do with you!" β
"And me?" Ma Hu was stunned for a moment, quickly took the edict, opened it and looked at it, looked at it for a while, and his brows were twisted into a ball, "This, this prince, can you do this?" β
"Ma Futai, what does the emperor want us to do?" Mu Tianyan hurriedly asked.
He felt that he could change his position in time, he was different from Mingzhu, Mingzhu's niece was Fuquan's beloved concubine! Fuquan became the emperor, and Mingzhu will definitely be able to go to the middle hall again.
And he Mu Tianyan is just a loyal servant who follows the crowd, as long as his position changes quickly enough.
So he must behave positively now, and try to get closer to Mafutai.
Ma Hu said: "The emperor asked us to learn from the old ancestors' methods of dealing with the strong city of the Ming Dynasty, slaughter the city when it should be slaughtered, drive the people to fill the trenches and attack the city, drive the people to die, even if we send away a million Jiangnan people, we must break Jiangning City!" β
He looked up at Yue Le, "Lord Wang, can we do this?" Can this break Jiangning City? β
Yue Le's brows furrowed, as if he was in a dilemma.
According to Kangxi's method, it is indeed possible for him to break Jiang Ning, which is nothing more than holding the people to send people to their heads in waves, as long as the opponent's gunpowder and muskets are exhausted (the barrel life is limited), won't Nanjing be defeated?
But the problem is that he can't catch a few Ming people as cannon fodder now - he can't enter Nanjing City, and it seems too risky to bypass the Purple Mountain and march to the southwest of Nanjing.
So he could only catch the people of the Qing Dynasty from his own territory, that is, several state capitals in Jiangsu, to be cannon fodder. Although Kangxi and Fuquan "sealed" a lot of territory for him, what was the governor of Liangjiang, and what supervised the military affairs of several provinces, but it was still a Jiangsu that was really controlled by him. If you go to the ground in Jiangsu, which is controlled by the Qing Dynasty, to catch the common people as cannon fodder, then the scholars and landlords in Jiangsu will continue to resist taxes and grain, and even collectively take refuge in the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, now many local squires in Jiangsu have also held group exercises, although it is only a group training to protect the family, but when guarding the homeland, the combat effectiveness is still very strong!
If they are forced to rebel, it will not be a small trouble!
Seeing that Yue Le was embarrassed, Ma Hu had no choice but to say tentatively: "Lord Wang. Why don't we first transfer the militia groups from the state capitals of Jiangsu to the camp of Qixia Mountain, don't let them attack the city, just let them repair the walls of the outer city of Nanjing, so that the imperial army can surround Nanjing! When they arrive, how to use it is a matter of your words! Although the number of militia groups that can be transferred from various places is limited, it is impossible for them to have more than 100,000 or 200,000 at all, but at most tens of thousands. But it was better than nothing, and it would weaken the power of the gentry everywhere. β
"Can you really bring in tens of thousands of people?"
"Yes!" Ma Hu nodded, "There has been a lot of good news recently, one is that Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui have finally started a fight on the upper Huguang side; Second, half of King Kang's Jiangxi battalion has advanced to Hezhou, and it will soon be able to fight the thieves of Jiangning with us; The third is that the siege of Xi'an has been lifted, and there will definitely be many gentry who are eager to show their loyalty to the imperial court! β
"Makes sense!" Yue Le nodded, "Then let's do it first!" I have to try again, maybe I can surround Jiangning! β
"There is the death of the country, and the death of the world. Tell the difference between the dead country and the dead world? Said: 'Change the surname of Yi, it is called the death of the country; Hu Lu is the country, benevolence and righteousness are full, hair and clothes are shaved, the city is slaughtered and the land is enclosed, the people are slaves and Hu is the master, and it is said that the world will die.'"
Just when Yue Le was trying to get back the lost "bad", so that he could completely become bad again. In the Jiangnan Gongyuan in Nanjing, there is a loud sound of reading!
This is the students of Nanjing Lecture Martial Arts Hall, learning what it means to "die in the world"!
This is actually learning badly!
The lecture martial arts hall teaches not only Gu Yanwu's "Death in the World", but also "The World is Public", "The Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System" and everything you have to learn! In addition to these, of course, there are military courses, including martial arts and military command.
Although it is only a simple crash course, it is not important that all the students who come to participate in the study of Jiangwutang, no matter what their background was before, have now become students of Li Zhongtang and students of the third phase of Jiangwutang (the previous two phases were only opened in Guangdong).
In the future, everyone will be in a group, and we must work together! This is called "one bad is not as good as many bad"!
As for the bad they have learned, of course, it is so bad that it is justified, so bad that it is justifiably bad, and it is so bad that it is exciting!
This kind of high-latitude learning is bad! can definitely crush Kangxi's bit of badness!
Kangxi's bad learning is only bad for him, and at most it will affect a small number of civilian and military generals. And those people under Kangxi still know that they are doing bad things, and they are heinous bad people.
In the Nanjing Lecture Hall hosted by Li Zhongshan and Li Zhongtang of the Ming Dynasty, "learning bad" is not only a bad nest, but he also doesn't know that he is already "bad", and he thinks that he is a good person for the country and the people. I thought that the kind of "former monarch" and "former minister" who did not want real power to the emperor and were not royal slaves, as well as the way of restraining the powerful and dividing the land equally, were all just!
And this "bad" will also be taken by the students who take crash courses here to the team below, that is, Yingtian Tuanlian and Yingtian militia.
