"Yes, fight! Our Qing Dynasty has not yet fallen!"
As soon as the Empress Dowager left, the brothers He Shuosu, Prince Fu Shou, and Duoluo County Prince Meng Ou started shouting. Fu Sui's fists were clenched tightly, and his eyes were filled with anger. [ ] He, Meng Ou, and his eldest brother
Gutai is a direct descendant of Taizong. Now the ancestral mausoleum has been burned by the bandits, and the land of Longxing has also been occupied by the bandits. This means that the common people's homes have been stripped of their ancestral graves, and they know how to fight to occupy the land.
The descendants of the dignified Aixinjueluo family are even more desperate!
As direct descendants, Fu Sui and Meng Zuo have to make their attitude clear. If they don't fight to the death with the rebels, they are not Aisin Gioro!
It is tolerable, but what is intolerable!
"Prince Zhuang, why are you still holding that box?!"
When Prince Zhuang Boguoduo was still holding the gold box, Fu Sui became furious and rushed forward to grab it: "The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have already said that what is in this box is fake, and you still think it is a fake."
Why are you holding it like a treasure?" He threw it to the ground with both hands.
"Don't!"
Boguoduo was startled and wanted to reach out to stop him, but it was too late. He only heard a "bang", the gold box was hit hard to the ground, and a skull rolled to Kangxi's feet with a "gulu" and shook twice.
Then it stopped.
"Fake?…"
Boguoduo and Prince Jian Yabu rushed to Kangxi's feet almost at the same time, staring blankly at the skull, not knowing what to do. They couldn't bear to know whether the Empress Dowager's words were true or false, in case the skull really showed their ancestors.
Dear Emperor, Fu Sui's blasphemy is a great disrespect to his ancestors. If this is spread, how will these Aisin Gioro descendants be seen by others!
"This skull is fake!"
Kangxi believed deeply in his grandmother's words. Seeing that Prince Zhuang and Prince Jian still didn't believe it, he suddenly raised his big foot and stepped heavily on the skull. Suddenly, the already withered skull couldn't bear the heavy pressure and cracked into a pile of pieces.
"Ah! Emperor?"
Boguoduo and Jianbu were startled, looking at the broken skull on the ground at a loss.
"Fake!"
Kangxi repeated it loudly, and then raised his voice to the ministers: "The emperor of tomorrow did not know how to talk to the traitors and soldiers. How can I be inferior to the emperor of the Zhu family? To spread my decree, none of my Qing subjects are allowed to talk to them."
The thieves are connected, and they are not threatened by the thieves. Let alone one hundred thousand gold or one million silver, I will not give them even one tael of silver!"
Still angry, he asked Guixiang again: "Guixiang, what's going on outside the pass now?"
Guixiang said hurriedly: "Back to the emperor, when the slave came, the rebel army had already arrived in Qingyuan. Prince Kang divided his troops into three groups and wanted to meet the rebel army in Qingyuan." After a pause, he added: "It's too late for the slave to attack Jinzhou.
Prince Xin is leading his troops to Shengjing, and I guess we should reach Shengjing by now."
Eza, the king of Xin County, left the pass on the 14th with 12,000 bannermen. With the army, 800,000 shi of military rations were temporarily mobilized by the Ministry of Revenue, so he moved slowly.
After listening to Guixiang's words, Kangxi nodded, and when he saw Mingzhu kneeling there, he ordered: "Mingzhu, get ready, I want to lead the expedition myself."
"Emperor!"
Kangxi's idea of wanting to go on a personal expedition was no longer just a day or two. He had this idea when he was fighting in Mulan Paddock. Later, he was persuaded by Prince Yu Fuquan and Prince Anjun Yue Le. Now that the emperor has the idea of a personal expedition, Mingzhu
His first reaction was no. Prince Kang and Prince Xin had already led the troops out of the customs. They took away all the soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp. The 12,000 men brought by the latter were recruited from the Eight Banners in Beijing. This was already
The bones of the bannermen were broken.
If all the armies outside the pass were defeated, Shengjing would be in danger, and it would be reasonable for the emperor to lead the expedition himself. But just a few days ago, Tong Guogang won a victory in Jinzhou, killing thousands of rebels and forcing the rebels to retreat north.
. It can be seen that the bandit army is not difficult to deal with. As long as it is well-organized and commanded properly, the peace outside the pass is just around the corner. There is no need for the emperor's personal conquest. Besides, this personal conquest by the emperor sounds good, and it also reflects the great power of the country, but where do these soldiers come from?
Come?
The Eight Banners troops stationed in Zhili, Jiangsu, Shaanxi, and Zhejiang provinces have been ordered to move north, but it will take several days to arrive in the capital. The Eight Banners troops in Guangdong, Guangxi, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces were all left in each province when the San Francisco was defeated.
They are all elites who have fought in hundreds of battles, but the distant water cannot save the nearby fire. When they arrive in the capital, it will take at least a month, and there is no time!
Mingzhu is impatient. The emperor wants to go out personally to conquer the country, but where will he send troops to help the emperor leave the country? Is it possible that the emperor can lead a group of guards out of the country to quell the chaos?
Don't forget that the Qing Dynasty is now unified in the pass, and the country is prosperous, but the fundamental pearl knows it. If nothing else, let's talk about the combatable Eight Banners soldiers. Although there were millions of Eight Banners disciples who entered the pass from the dragon, but
His bones have been rotten for a long time, and there are no more than 30,000 usable soldiers. During the San Francisco Rebellion, most of them died in battle, leaving only more than 10,000 capable soldiers stationed in various provinces. How can the other bannermen's children be obtained?
The battlefield. Otherwise, those Han green soldiers would not be used to pacify San Francisco. To put it bluntly, the Eight Banners is no longer the Eight Banners it used to be, and there are no soldiers left to use!
But he couldn't say this, and he had no way to say it. If he talked to the emperor alone, he would dare to tell the truth. But there are so many princes and ministers in this hall, how could he dare to say that there are no soldiers, let alone the Eight Banners soldiers?
!
"Your Majesty, Prince Kang is already stationed in Shengjing, and Prince Xin is also rushing there with his troops. With Prince Kang here, the Emperor just wants to wait for the good news of the victory. There is no need to drive the troops to fight in person."
"No, although Prince Kang is available, I have to worry about him. But now Galdan is taking his 60,000 cavalry south to Monan. Galdan is not a fool. Why did he abandon it for some reason?
Mobei, who traveled thousands of miles to come to Monan? I, he just set up a line with the bandit army and wanted to carve up the land of my ancestor Longxing together. He wanted to divide the outside of the pass equally with the bandit army! Maybe, he wanted to learn from
As for Burni, he has sent his army into the pass to seize my throne!"
The more Kangxi talked, the angrier he became: "Geldan is ambitious. I am not afraid of Wu Sangui's old troops. What I am worried about is Galdan! In the past, I always thought that the national treasury was not full, and San Francisco had just been established, and there were many wastes waiting to be revitalized. It would be unfavorable to use weapons on a large scale.
But now it is Galdan who is forcing me to take action, forcing me to fight him in advance. He is putting a knife on my neck! If I don't fight back, what will happen to the Mongolian tribes! Besides, the Monan tribes are
I, the screen vassal of the Qing Dynasty, will never let Geerdan occupy Monan! While Horqin and the Chahar tribes can still hold on for a while, I will hurry up and kill the rebels before Geernan can deal with the Monan tribes.
Clean it up, otherwise, you will really be attacked from both sides!"
"Emperor"
Mingzhu was anxious and wanted to persuade him, but Kangxi waved his hand and refused to let him speak at all.
"I have made up my mind. If I don't want to see these thieves destroyed with my own eyes, my food will not taste good and I will have trouble sleeping at night. You prepare, I will leave the capital in three days!"
