He immediately ordered the warships to return immediately to the Zhoushan Islands to prepare for the war with the Qing court in advance.
The ship docked on the largest island in the Zhoushan Archipelago. Wu Ming took Yu Taqin and went directly to meet Zhao Erhu, the Zhoushan garrison of the Ming Dynasty.
After hearing what Yu Taqin said, Zhao Erhu immediately gave the order.
The Ming army in Zhoushan expedited training and prepared for war in advance!
On the other hand, they chose to ask for help from Luzon!
Reinforcements, ordnance, food, medicinal materials... Zhoushan is in short supply of everything!
…
Beijing, South Study!
The old lady Bumubutai sat at the top, her old orange-peel face full of gloom.
There is no trace of the kindness and kindness he showed in front of Kangxi!
In front of her, the four ministers of the Qing court, Gu Ming, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing in apology.
The reason why this happened was that the news of the Qing Dynasty's defeat in the Shan State was finally spread to the capital by Pegasus.
Then there was the expected shock of entering the city, and the whole city was filled with mourners.
Especially the family members of Zhenghuang Banner, it can be said that every family is mourning.
There were only 200,000 men registered in the Eight Banners of Manchuria. Two thousand men were suddenly gone, and they were still under the Yellow Banner.
In addition, everyone within Zhenghuang Banner is related by relatives!
After this battle, no one whose family has not lost several relatives is worthy of saying that he is a member of the Zhenghuang Banner!
It is conservative to mourn every family, but it is realistic for one family to mourn for several families!
After Bumubutai heard the news, he almost lost his temper.
Since they entered the customs not long ago, the current Aixinjueluo family has not been able to completely complete the centralization of power!
The current Manchu Qing Dynasty is not so much a centralized state as it is a joint-stock company.
The banner owners of the Eight Banners, big and small, are all shareholders of this company, and they are the real masters of this country.
The Aixinjueluo family is just a chairman who controls a part of the company's equity!
During the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzong and Qianlong, emperors continued to insert their princes into the Eight Banners as banner leaders, completely eclipsing the original Eight Banner banner leaders.
The Aixinjueluo family is within the Eight Banners, so it’s impossible to tell the truth!
The chairman's say in the company depends on the shares he holds.
The Aixinjueluo family's voice in the Qing court relied on the two yellow flag soldiers and horses directly under the emperor.
In the battle of Shan State, two thousand soldiers and horses of Zhenghuang Banner suddenly disappeared!
For the Aisin Gioro family, it was not just a matter of losing troops and generals, but more seriously, the loss of these two thousand men resulted in the loss of the royal family's right to speak.
This is the most important thing!
As long as you can understand this, you won't be surprised at the state of old lady Bumbutai at this time.
Anger mixed with fear, surprise mixed with fear!
Incredibly complex!
Rewards Bumbutai felt a similar feeling when Dorgon proclaimed himself the regent of the emperor's father, coerced the emperor into sleeping with the queen mother, and aimed at the throne of his son Shunzhi.
"Let's talk about how we can cover up the defeat of Shan State!"
"The entire army of two thousand Zhenghuang Banners was wiped out. How many years has it been since our Qing Dynasty suffered such a huge loss?"
"This matter must not be publicized, otherwise it will damage the prestige of the Qing Dynasty and cause the Han people all over the world to have inappropriate thoughts again!"
Bumbutai asked while rubbing the rosary beads on his hand.
The expression on her face made it difficult to tell whether she was happy or angry, but the faster and faster speed of rubbing the rosary beads in her hands clearly told everyone that she was not in a peaceful mood.
Suksaha suggested.
"The Empress Dowager may order Shengjing to stay behind and catch Jurchens from the mountains outside Liaodong Pass. After training, they can be used to supplement the vacancies in the Zhenghuang Banner."
Bumubutai nodded slightly.
It was impossible for the Manchus to enter the Pass and fight for so many years without casualties. Coupled with the plague caused by the unaccustomed climate and soil, Manchuria's population loss was very serious.
Only by catching Jurchens from outside the country to fill the gap, could the Qing government maintain the power of the Eight Banners of Manchuria!
Now that Zhenghuang Banner had suffered heavy losses in the battle of Shan State, the first thing Suk Saha thought of was to catch Jurchens outside the border.
Ye Bilong also spoke.
"I think the imperial court can identify those with outstanding military exploits from the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and reward them with flag-raising."
"While we are catching the real girls, let these soldiers and generals who are good at fighting enter the Zhenghuang Banner!"
Bumubutai nodded again.
"Just do it like this!"
However, just when the four kneeling ministers Gu Ming were about to retreat, Bumbutai spoke again in a faint tone.
"My dear lords, what role do you think King Pingnan played in the battle of Shan State?"
Obai and others paused in their steps, and an idea came to their minds.
The king and his ministers are jealous!
Did the Qing Dynasty also make its monarchs and ministers jealous?
In the Battle of Shan State, two thousand Manchurian Zhenghuang Banners were wiped out, and the Zhenghuang Banner general Ai Xing'a was beheaded.
However, Wu Sangui's troops and horses were not seriously damaged!
There was no room for Bu Mu Butai not to wonder whether Wu Sangui had a different intention!
If Wu Sangui had no different intentions, how could he fail in the rescue and sit back and watch the 2,000 Zhenghuang Banner Manchu soldiers being wiped out?
Not to mention the suspicious old lady Bumbutai, even the four kneeling on the ground had similar suspicions.
The same was true for Obai. He also suspected that Wu Sangui had a different intention.
But he knew that Wu Sangui's position was related to the safety of the southwest of the Qing Dynasty, and even the entire south.
If Wu Sangui rebels, the consequences will be disastrous!
The color change in the South is just a matter of time!
Therefore, the court must be more tolerant towards Wu Sangui, and Obai must dispel the Empress Dowager's suspicion of Wu Sangui. In any case, the suspicious old lady cannot be forced to rebel against Wu Sangui.
Obai said.
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, I think King Pingxi doesn't want to see such a scene!"
"Didn't King Pingxi already make a confession and ask the court to reduce the crime and punish him?"
"The imperial court punishes him with small punishments and big warnings!"
Oboi's opinion is that Wu Sangui can be punished, but he must not be forced to rebel.
Three drinks as a penalty, it won’t happen again!
Bumbutai couldn't help but frown and said.
"If Wu Sangui had no different intentions and deliberately delayed the rescue, how could the two thousand Manchurian soldiers be wiped out!"
"If the court does not severely punish Wu Sangui, how can it still convince the public?"
Old Mrs. Bumubutai still couldn't help but be suspicious.
Seeing this, Ye Bilong also spoke.
"Reply to the Queen Mother!"
"Now that the Ming thieves are showing off their ferocity overseas, they may attack our Qing coastline at any time. However, our Qing navy has not yet been completed and is temporarily unable to completely wipe out the remaining forces of the Ming thieves."
"Before the Ming thieves are completely wiped out, King Pingxi still needs to be appeased!"
Sony also spoke.
"Please give the Queen Mother an order to appease King Pingxi!"
Seeing that the four ministers Gu Ming left behind by Shunzhi were rarely in agreement, Bumubutai finally nodded and said.
"Okay, let's do it like this!"
"Let the cabinet draft a conciliatory edict and wait for the emperor to seal it before sending it to Kunming, Yunnan!"
"We will then send someone to deliver some seasonal fruits and vegetables, palace lanterns and other rare items to King Pingnan's house in the capital, saying that they are gifts from the Ai family to Jianning."
"When the imperial court has wiped out the Ming thieves overseas, we will settle the score with Wu Sangui!"
Bumbutai was thinking of settling the score in the future.
Seeing this, the four people of Aobai no longer objected.
After talking about these important matters, Bumubutai ordered people to give seats to the four ministers Gu Ming.
Sony said.
"The Empress Dowager, Sauron outside the Pass, and the Oroqen tribes reported that they encountered a hunting party of Rakshasa people in the north of Heilongjiang..."
