scourge the qing dynasty

Chapter 230

(PS: Again, 2012 is only [-] hours away, and it will be too late if you don’t vote for the pure wolf.)
Because of the distance between the distance and the speed of news transmission, when the old traitor Shang and Yue Le sent the team to Beijing to escort Geng Juzhong around Fujian and slowly swayed northward, it was also Lai Kang Mazi who was strict in order to deal with the old traitor Wu. The post station was prepared to deliver the blessings efficiently, and it was only on April 26 that the news that Geng Jingzhong raised an anti-flag and colluded with Taiwan Zheng Jing and the Guangdong Qing army at the junction of Fujian and Guangdong had already been sent to the capital of the Qing Dynasty. In front of Kang Mazi, the supreme chief of Mite Qing.

Hearing this news, Kang Mazi, who was still immersed in the pain of Xing Chi's murder, was completely paralyzed, and went crazy again, jumped up and kicked the pseudo-dragon case over again, staring round with numb eyes, hysterical big Yelling, "Geng Jingzhong, you thief! You barbarian! You are so daring! I won't hack you into pieces, I swear I won't be human! I won't be human—!"

"Reverse! Reverse! The barbarians are all rebellious, the old thief Wu Sangui is rebellious, the dog thief Geng Jingzhong is also rebellious, the bitch Kong Sizhen is also missing, and they all abandoned me! All the barbarians in the world are thieves , They are all dog thieves, they are all unfamiliar wolf cubs! Barbarians! Get out! Get out of here! Get out of me——! Even if all the barbarians in the world turn against me, I will not be afraid! , I will kill all of you, cut them into pieces, and put them to death! I am not afraid! Come! Come! Come all to me! Barbarians! Barbarians——!"

Seeing that Kang Mazi was so angry, Kang Mazi Suo'etu, Mingzhu, Feng Pu, Zhang Ying, Gao Shiqi and others present all had their foreheads on the ground, trembling and trembling on the floor of the South Study Room, all frowning, helpless, and even tried to persuade him. Kang Mazi didn't even have the courage to speak to calm his anger.No way, with Geng Jingzhong’s rebellion, the already extremely bad situation of the Qing court became even worse. Most of the money, grain and silver obtained by extortion and extortion, as well as the newly recruited army that had been reorganized with great difficulty and had no time to train If you have to go to the southeast battlefield, the eradication and peace of the Wu Sangui Rebellion will be far away.

For the Qing court, the most terrifying thing is that Geng Jingzhong's rebels went north and entered Zhejiang, directly destroying the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River that threatened the Qing court. If this is the case, then the vitality is already great The wounded mite Qing court wants to form an army enough to calm the southwest, it will be even more difficult and difficult to know when.

"Shang Kexi, Yue Le, dog thief! Trash! Idiot!" Roaring and cursing like crazy, Kang Mazi, who likes to shirk responsibility, naturally pointed his finger at the poor Prince An and the old prince, kicking the pseudo-dragon case Red eyes scolded, "When you left Beijing, what did I say? How did I explain it? Thousands of times, I asked you to temporarily stabilize Geng Jingzhong's dog thief, temporarily stabilize Geng Jingzhong's dog thief, you just didn't listen! Don’t listen! You just want to turn Geng Jingzhong into a traitor, just to turn him back! Do you take Zhen’s will into your heart? Did you do it on purpose?”

"Are you deliberately trying to help Geng Jingzhong, the dog thief and Wu Sangui, to overturn my dragon chair and ruin my world? Did you do it on purpose? Was it on purpose? Dog thief! Idiot! Trash !idiot----!"

I don't know how long it took until Kang Mazi snarled until his voice was hoarse, his chest burst in anger, and he slumped back on the pseudo-dragon chair and could no longer swear, Mingzhu walked two steps forward on his knees, kowtowed cautiously and said, "Master, please!" Don't worry, Geng Jingzhong's dog thief has long turned his back, and his master has a long-term vision, and he has already deployed heavy troops in southern Zhejiang and eastern Zhejiang to prepare for defense. Even if Geng Jingzhong's dog thief tries to go north, it will not be so easy to kill the hinterland of Zhejiang. Besides, Geng The loyal dogs and bandits are far less powerful than Wu Sangui's old bandit, even with the help of Taiwan's Zheng Ni, it is only a drop in the bucket, and there is no big storm, the master only needs to send a general to lead the army south, and the chaos in Fujian can be put down just around the corner."

"It's easy to say, send a general to the south? What about the soldiers?" Kang Mazi asked feebly, "Where did the soldiers come from? Of the 20 Qing troops, more than 10,000 were restrained by the old thief Wu Sangui." In Huguang, Shaanxi and Jiangxi, of the remaining [-] troops, [-] to [-] were surrounded in Guangdong, and the remaining [-]+ had to guard the south of the Yangtze River, guard against Rakshasa and Chahar, and guard the local area. Gyeonggi is stretched everywhere, and it is difficult to make ends meet everywhere. From where can I get the army to go to Fujian to suppress the rebellion? You can do tricks for me?"

"Master, you can transfer troops from the Huguang battlefield." Mingzhu is worthy of being the number one hawk under Kang Mazi's command, and immediately replied: "Drop [-] troops from the Huguang battlefield and go down the Yangtze River Canal, and it will take less than half a month to reach Hangzhou. The [-] troops of the Green Battalion of Banner Soldiers in Zhejiang are more than enough to put down Geng Jingzhong's bandits."

"Fart!" Kang Mazi was furious, and said angrily, "What should we do if the old thief Wu Sangui takes the opportunity to cross the river with troops dispatched from the Huguang battlefield?"

"In my humble opinion, the old thief Wu Sangui may not have the guts to take the opportunity to cross the river." Mingzhu said in a startling voice, and said in a deep voice, "First, the old thief Wu Sangui's navy has not yet been trained, and there are few boats. With [-] infantry and cavalry, as long as the elite of our Great Qingshui Division is still there, even if the Wu bandits forcefully cross the river, the chances of winning are not great. Even if the thieves succeed in forcibly crossing the river, the main force will not dare to go north easily, and they must first defeat the Jiangxi garrison before they dare to go north with all their strength. Our Qing army has the advantage of boats and waterways, so we can still return to the army calmly and split Wu's bandits into two , break each one."

"There is a third one." Ming Zhu paused, and then reminded softly: "I wonder if the master still remembers the watch badge sent by the old thief Wu Sangui 20 days ago?"

"That memorial?" Kang Mazi was stunned for a moment, then immediately came back to his senses and asked, "Is it the memorial that old thief Wu Sangui asked the palace to move?"

"Returning to the master, it is exactly this seal." Mingzhu kowtowed, and said solemnly: "From the fact that the old thief Wu Sangui invited the palace to move to Hengzhou, it can be seen that the old thief Wu Sangui has a great plan to separate the Southwest and establish himself as the emperor, and it may not be true. The heart of the Central Plains, and Hengzhou is far away from the Yangtze River. Once the Pingnan Palace is moved here, the main manpower, material and financial resources of the old thief Wu Sangui will also be fully tilted to Hengzhou. , it is a rare opportunity for the master to defeat the Geng and Wu thieves one by one."

"Really?" Kang Mazi became tempted, and began to think about the possibility of defeating Geng Jingzhong and old traitor Wu one by one.

"Master, it must not be like this." Suo Etu knelt out and said loudly: "My number one national thief in the Qing Dynasty is Wu Sangui, not Geng Jingzhong. The thief will only give the old thief Wu Sangui an opportunity to break through our defense line on the Yangtze River in the Qing Dynasty. The Yangtze River will be lost, and the Central Plains will be in danger! Besides, the old thief Wu Sangui has many tricks. The so-called relocation of the palace and the southward movement of troops may be His show of the enemy is an empty plan!"

"Suoxiang, I'm really sorry." Mingzhu said unconvinced: "The latest military intelligence report shows that Wugou has already started the construction of the palace in Hengzhou, and the scale is not small. If the old thief Wu Sangui intends to cross the river north, Then what is he doing in Hengzhou to build the palace? He has so much money, food and silver that there is no place to put it?"

"That might just be the residence of the old thief Wu Sangui!" Suo Etu refused to give an inch, and immediately retorted: "If Prime Minister Ming thinks that it is safe for the old thief Wu Sangui to go south to Hengzhou, then he is very wrong—a while ago Today, even the officials of the Ministry of Rites who have never been on the battlefield have sent a memorial to remind their master that the old thief Wu Sangui moved the palace to Hengzhou, and it is very likely that he is planning to annex the south of Jiangxi and open up land connections with Geng Jingzhong, a dog thief. As Minister of the Ministry of War (Mite Minister) and a cabinet scholar, don't you even understand such a simple truth?"

"The old thief Wu Sangui wants to annex the south of Jiangxi, let him go there." Mingzhu sneered and said: "The south of Jiangxi is mountainous and forested, sparsely populated and the roads are difficult. Geng Jingzhong's dog thief contacting by land will only waste his troops in vain on the insignificant southern Jiangxi battlefield, and waste precious manpower, material and financial resources on mountain roads, and also stretch the front line and disperse forces. With the Qing army backed by the Yangtze River waterway, it was easy to transport troops and food, and it happened to defeat Wugou's various ministries one by one."

"Who said that the old thief Wu Sangui must invest heavily in southern Jiangxi?" Suo Etu was even more unconvinced and continued to retort: ​​"The old thief Wu Sangui can send out an army to open up southern Jiangxi, and the main force will take the opportunity to cross the river. Wugou Once we gain a firm foothold on the north bank of the Yangtze River, our Great Qing Central Plains and Jiangnan will be in dire straits!"

"Will the old thief Wu Sangui have the confidence to break through the blockade of our Great Qingshui Division?" Mingzhu roared outright, "I have just made it very clear. Infantry, as long as the navy is still there, Wugou will not be able to cross the river so easily."

"Then what if the main force of our Qing Dynasty falls into a war of attrition in Fujian?" Suo'etu also yelled, "Jiangxi is mountainous, but Fujian is not so mountainous? Geng Jingzhong, a dog thief, has been operating here for many years. , easy and difficult to break, once my main force in the Qing Dynasty falls into the Fujian battlefield, wouldn't the old thief Wu Sangui smile crookedly?"

"Then what should I do?" Mingzhu yelled again, "I can't just watch Geng Jingzhong's gangsters invade Zhejiang and destroy my source of money and food in the Qing Dynasty..."

"Shut up! Shut up, everyone!" Kang Mazi, who was suffocating evil fire in his heart, yelled, "One more word of presumptuousness, let's push out the Meridian Gate and behead them together!"

"I'm a slave, I'm guilty." Mingzhu and Suo'etu, who were so scolded by Kang Mazi, blushed and had thick necks, remembered that they were in the South Study Room, kowtowed and shut their mouths together.

"This is my South Study Room, not the vegetable market! One of you is the chief assistant of the imperial court, and the other is the secretary of the Ministry of War. What's the point of arguing like this?" Kang Mazi took the opportunity to explode, his face was furious, Mingzhu and Suo'etu Sweat profusely and kowtow again and again.Finally, after Kang Mazi had vented enough, Kang Mazi pointed to Zhang Ying, his newest favorite, and asked, "Zhang Ying, tell me, what's your opinion?"

"Back to the emperor, I'm a civil servant, I don't understand military affairs, I don't dare to offer random advice, and disturb the holy hearing." Zhang Ying kowtowed, and said cautiously: "But I just want to remind the emperor of two things. After careful investigation, the Wugou firearms camp is moving to Pianyuan Jiqi Mountain, and the second is that [-]% of the military pay and food promised by the emperor to the Wu thieves have not been paid."

"Hey, why did I forget these two things?" Kang Mazi suddenly thought of these two important situations, and immediately began to think in his heart, "Although Wu Gou's firearms are sharp, they consume a lot of energy, and his firearms camp is currently being relocated. Among them, the production of firearms is bound to be small, and it will definitely be difficult to launch a large-scale offensive. There is also the military pay and food that I promised to Wu Gou, and there are tens of millions of taels of silver and 150 million shi of grain that I have not given. If you start a war, this money and food will be wasted, with Wu Sangui's greedy nature, are you willing to not want this money and food?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Kang Mazi finally made up his mind, and said through gritted teeth: "Decree, Mahada, the deputy governor of the Zhenghuang Banner, is ordered to lead Manzhou officers and soldiers and Chahar Xiao cavalry, a total of 5000 people, to go south to Wenzhou in the starry night to guard against Geng Jingzhong. Dog thieves go north to harass Zhejiang. On the way, 2000 troops can be dispatched from Hangzhou to assist in the battle."

"Master, this is our last reserve team." Suo'etu reminded in shock: "If General Mahada leads this army southward, our Qing capital will be empty."

"Pass the decree to Tuhai again." Kang Mazi ignored Suo'etu's reminder, but continued to issue the decree: "Order him to prepare the ships and weapons, select [-] cavalry elite soldiers for backup, and once there is a decree, immediately go down the river , put down the rebellion in Fujian!"

"Master, the capital is empty." Suo'etu almost cried, and quickly reminded: "There is also the Huguang battlefield, that is the most important thing."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Kang Mazi yelled again unbearably, "Do you want me to go and beg Geng Jingzhong's dog thief, please don't turn against him, and then send another three thousand dollars as I did to Wu Sangui old thief?" 500 million taels of silver and 500 million shi of military rations, begging him to temporarily suspend his troops?"

Suo'etu was speechless, and Kang Mazi ordered again with a livid face: "Give Tuhai's order, let Jieshu be an imperial envoy to deliver the order, and stay in Huguang after the announcement, waiting for my order to send troops. In addition, give Yue Monk Le is delighted to deliver the decree, ordering the two of them to send troops from Guangdong to the north. I will give them three months. If the decree arrives within three months, if they do not bring back Chaozhou and Zhangzhou to threaten Geng's hinterland, I will punish them severely. ! These two wastes are all good things they did, and they forced me into this dilemma!"

The officials tremblingly kowtowed to receive the order, and went according to the order, while Kang Mazi sat back in the fake dragon chair, stared at the algae floating on the beam above his head in a daze, and in his heart just scolded Monk Yue Le, the old traitor, incompetent and stupid, who ate wrongly After taking the medicine, Geng Jingzhong was forced to rebel, so that I didn't even have a chance to catch my breath. As soon as I temporarily stabilized the old traitor Wu, I started a war with Geng Jingzhong. Exhausted?It was also at this time that Kang Mazi once again regretted that he hadn't listened to Xiao Zhuang's earnest words, did not appease old traitor Wu with sincerity, but listened to Xiong Cilu's nonsense, self-defeating and angered old traitor Wu again, and now he wants to stabilize old traitor Wu The traitor is not sure about killing Geng Jingzhong first.

At the same time, a more difficult choice was put before Kang Mazi, should he draw troops from the Huguang battlefield to Fujian to quell the Geng Jingzhong Rebellion?
………………

The next day, Kang Mazi's three decrees each sent envoys to issue edicts. The first to receive the decree, Mahada, the deputy capital of Zhenghuang Banner in Mizhou, did not dare to neglect, and immediately led Kang Mazi's last reserve team of [-] in the Gyeonggi area. The army went south, and rushed to Zhejiang to fight the fire day and night, preventing Geng Jingzhong from entering the wealth center of Miqing.And after Mahada's army set off, the embarrassment of the Qing court in terms of dispatching troops was completely exposed to the world, but how critical is the specific situation? ——Even the soldiers guarding the gates of the inner city, which are only for the Qingqi people, are just [-]- and [-]-year-old mite children! (Historical facts are contained on page [-] of the first series of "Qing History Materials".)
It is naturally impossible to hide such a scene from the eyes of those who are interested. Seeing that the Qing court's military strength in the capital has been so empty, Yang Qilong, who has done beautiful things in Beijing in history, is inevitably moved. The Drum Tower Incident naturally began to brew.But what Yang Qilong never imagined in his dreams was that he was not the only one who also found this situation and had a different heart, but also——the secret agent sent by Prince Burni of the Chahar Department of Mongolia!Although this dude is not very famous, it is a pity that thanks to the shameless mite drama, Fatty Lu happened to know this handsome Mongolian guy who made Zhou Peigong and Tuhai famous in the battle...

………………

If things go according to Monk Yue Le's old traitor's expectations, and when their memorials and witness Geng Juzhong are sent to Beijing, then Kang Mazi, who is devastated, will most likely agree to their suggestion and try to deal with Geng Jingzhong, who hastily raised troops. Geng Jingzhong, who took pacification methods and was forced to raise troops by mistake of Wu Jun's tricks, planned for his own interests, and probably accepted Kang Mazi's pacification, and calmed down temporarily after getting some benefits, so as to give Kang Mazi a little breathing time.But it's a pity that there is a bad breed named Lu Yifeng who is ahead of his game. He sent Wu old traitor Wu a bad idea from Wuzhou, so Wu old traitor's memorial was expedited by six hundred miles from the mite Qing post station. It was sent to the capital a few days in advance, and sent to Kang Mazi in advance.

What is extremely vicious is that the memorial written by the old traitor Wu was sent to Kang Mazi. Before it was sent to Kang Mazi, the Qing court’s general ministers, the Ministry of War, and the large and small post stations along the way had already known the content of the memorial. , and the content is even more vicious—the old traitor Wu reported to Kang Mazi that King Yuele of Qing'an County colluded with King Shang Kexi of Pingnan, King Geng Jingzhong of Jingnan, and Prince Burni of Chahar of Mongolia in an attempt to conspire. The court usurped the throne and changed Yuan Yongzheng!

By the way, a situation that I forgot just now, the eldest daughter of our Prince An Yuele (no name record), married a Mongolian prince, and this Mongolian prince happened to be named Burni-this is what Fatty Lu is studying I accidentally discovered it when Yue Le was in the situation.

As the number one loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Pingxi, of course, did not frame him indiscriminately. We also had evidence and evidence to report Prince An Yue Le's attempted rebellion.Our Lord Pingxi told Kang Mazi that half a month ago, Lord An suddenly sent a secret envoy to Wuchang, asking Lord Pingxi to send troops eastward to attack Jiangxi, and Lord An also said that he had contacted Jingnan Wang Geng Jing Zhong, King Pingnan Shang Kexi and Prince Chahar Burni are planning to launch an attack together to usurp our Emperor Kangxi's Huahua Jiangshan.After the event was completed, Yue Le ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, changed Yuan to Yongzheng, sent the two provinces of Huguang and Jiangxi to Pingxi prince, allowed Pingxi prince to proclaim emperor in the southwest, and promised never to offend each other.

In order to reassure Prince Pingxi, Prince An also explained his detailed plan in his handwritten letter to Prince Pingxi. First, let Geng Jingzhong pretend to fly the banner of anti-Qing and Fuming to attract the strategic attention of Emperor Kangxi, and then Prince An and Prince Nan On the pretext of going north to counter the rebellion, he suddenly entered Jiangxi, forcing Emperor Kangxi to devote all his main force to the southern battlefield. Prince An's filial and beloved son-in-law, Lord Burni, took the opportunity to raise troops, suddenly attacked Zhangjiakou, and drove straight into the capital to demand the life of Emperor Kangxi. After his death, Yue Le took the opportunity to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, recruiting all the armies of the Qing Dynasty without a leader, and pacifying the world in one fell swoop.

Prince Pingxi also stated in the memorial that after reading the letter, he became furious and immediately ordered the arrest of the secret envoy Yue Le. He never wanted to secretly use the poison he carried with him to commit suicide. In the capital, the messenger's body was put into a coffin and sent to Hanyang as a witness.At the same time, Prince Pingxi also volunteered, saying that he was going to send troops to Fujian to help Emperor Kangxi put down Geng Jingzhong’s rebellion, but there was still Jiangxi between Huguang and Fujian, so Prince Pingxi boldly made a request, hoping that Emperor Kangxi would allow him to temporarily In charge of Jiangxi, after the rebellion is suppressed, it will be returned with both hands!

——The last sentence, regardless of whether the young and suspicious Emperor Kangxi believed it or not, anyway, our mature and prudent Prince Pingxi believed it himself.

After reading the extremely shameless memorial written by old traitor Wu, Kang Mazi really wanted to wipe his ass with this autographed memorial written by old traitor Wu, but the contents of this memorial about the rebellion of the Chahar department , but it made Kang Mazi break out in a cold sweat. No one knows better than Kang Mazi how empty the current defense of the capital is. If the Chahar cavalry really launched a surprise attack from behind, then Kang Mazi would have a lot of fun went.

Frightened, Kang Mazi couldn't help picking up the so-called Yue Le's handwritten letter to read carefully, and found that the handwriting was indeed written by Yue Le, and the seal was indeed Yue Le's prince's seal, although Kang Mazi knew how to imitate it. Handwriting is very easy, and seals can also be carved out of radishes - and Yue Le has now been reduced to the king of the county.But Kang Mazi couldn't help but another thought came to him, "Old thief Wu Sangui, why did he make such an obvious fake memorial? What's his purpose? Also, is Yue Le's son-in-law, Burni, really unreliable?"

"Why don't you just find an excuse and order Burni to come to Beijing for a visit?" Kang Mazi suddenly had another thought, "If Burni dares to come to the capital to meet His Majesty, then needless to say, the old thief Wu Sangui is Farting and playing tricks. But if Burnie doesn't dare to come, or refuses to come, then... . . . "
