In the Taihe Hall in Beijing, the little emperor Kangxi sat in the middle, but the empress dowager did not sit behind him. Here is an explanation: In the early years of Kangxi, although the Borzigit clan, that is, the Empress Dowager Bumubutai, was able to intervene in the government and had nominal management power over the four auxiliary ministers, she did not listen to the government, and at this time, the four auxiliary ministers were all over the world, and even the Empress Dowager and Kangxi's ancestors and grandchildren could not control them, so there was a later Kangxi get rid of Aobai.

At present, Sukh Saha is still alive, Ao Bai is out on the expedition again, and the first auxiliary minister, Sonny, is old and sick, and has a weak personality, and Suppilon is a person of Aobai, and Su Ke Saha is naturally fighting in secret.

When the news of Aobai's defeat in Jiangnan came, Suke Saha, who had always been at odds with Aobai, was secretly happy in his heart: What else would Aobai use to compete with the old man this time! This dog slave wanted to go to Jiangnan to make meritorious contributions, but he didn't expect to be defeated! Isn't this a godsend? This opportunity should be seized to deprive Ao of his power!

"Hooray!" Sukh Saha stepped forward and saluted, "Aobai's ineffective battle has harmed my 170,000 elite army of the Qing Dynasty!" I hope that the emperor will issue an order to deprive Ao of the right to worship! Depose his Auxiliary Minister! ”

"This kind of major event still needs to be discussed...... "Although Kangxi has learned a lot of political struggle methods, and he has also learned a lot of coping methods from his grandmother, he is young after all, and he doesn't know how to decide this matter at all. In fact, Kangxi, who had not yet been personally conscripted at this time, did not have any real power, and all major matters were decided by the four auxiliary ministers. Some small things were played, and he also returned to the harem to ask the Empress Dowager and let his grandmother make the decision.

Kubilon stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the slave has to play!" ”

"Quasi-play!" Kangxi Road.

Kubilon knelt on the ground and bowed: "Your Majesty! The responsibility for the defeat of Jiangnan is not on Lord Ao, and the slave thinks that Suke Saha should be fully responsible! ”

"You're bleeding!" Sukh Saha angrily pointed at Suppilon's nose, then turned his head and knelt down towards Kangxi. "Your Majesty! In the battle of Jiangnan, the minions did not participate at all! The food, salaries, and supplies that Ao Bai asked for were not participated in by the minions! It's all Sony and Suppilon involved in this! Moreover, the defeat of Aobai was not a matter of grain and grass at all, but Aobai's eagerness for quick success and quick gain, and the lone army went deep, resulting in the death of generals such as Luo Keduo, Songkui, Wu He and Cai Yurong, and our army suffered heavy losses! The old Eight Banners, who had made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty from outside the Guan, lost nearly 5,000 people! This is all the responsibility of Aobai! ”

In this defeat in Jiangnan, the Eight Banners can be said to have suffered heavy losses, and the old Eight Banners lost nearly 5,000 people. The second and third generations of the New Eight Banners lost more than 3,000 people. There are only a few banner people in total, and more than 8,000 people have been lost at this time, and almost every household in the capital has relatives in this loss list. In fact, there is no need for Sukh Saha to be held responsible, those banner people make trouble, and it is enough to worship and drink a pot. And I heard that most of the new Eight Banners of the second and third generations were captured, and many banner people in the capital were ready to find someone from the Ao Bai family.

As for the loss of more than 100,000 green battalion soldiers, it was not a matter for the Manchu court to consider, and no matter how much the Han people lost, it would not shake the foundation of Manchu rule.

Sukh Saha had a wishful thinking: Aobai lost so badly. This time I can definitely bring him down!

Who knew that Curb Bilong said in a serious manner: "Your Majesty! The slave found out one thing, which was related to the defeat in Jiangnan: I don't know if the emperor still remembers Zheng Zhilong? ”

"What's wrong with Zheng Zhilong? Didn't the ancestor say that he wanted Ao Bai to escort Zheng Zhilong to Jiangnan as a hostage? Kangxi asked confusedly. Kangxi only knew that the Empress Dowager agreed to Aobai's proposal and took Zheng Zhilong to Jiangnan as a hostage. But what happened next, he didn't know at all.

He said, "Your Majesty! Originally, Lafayette wanted to send Zheng Zhilong to Jiangnan as a hostage. In order to coerce the pirates to withdraw their troops. Who knew that someone had overshadowed and killed Zheng Zhilong's family, which caused Zheng to make up his mind to take revenge on our army! So. This edict killed Zheng Zhilong's family is the culprit of our army's defeat in Jiangnan! ”

"Who is so bold as to dare to disobey the orders of the ancestors?" Although Kangxi is young. But when he heard about the edict, he was very angry, and someone dared to revise his grandmother's edict, which is simply a big rebellion!

Suke Saha's face changed, he had killed Zheng Zhilong's family, who had been sent to Ningguta, this kind of thing would not be asked by the imperial court at all, who would take care of a waste man who had been confiscated and had all his property confiscated and was already penniless? But because of this incident, which led to the fiasco in Jiangnan, then the Empress Dowager will definitely hold Jiao Zhao responsible!

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to Sukh Saha, with an imperceptible hint of insidiousness on his face.

Sukh Saha could only step forward and kneel down and say, "Your Majesty! It was the minions who let people kill Zheng Zhilong's family! ”

"You! Why do you want to be overbearing? "I heard that it was Suke Saha's edict, Kangxi couldn't be hard for a while, and his voice trembled a little when he spoke. After all, Sukh Saha is one of the four major auxiliary ministers, and no one except the chief auxiliary minister, Sony, can cure his crimes. Although Kangxi was the emperor, he had no real power.

However, although Kangxi has no real power, if this matter is caught by people with ulterior motives and the responsibility for the defeat is put on Su Ke Saha, at that time, even if Sony does not dare to do anything to himself, Ao Bai and Ji Bilong are estimated to mobilize the banner people in the whole capital to do against themselves! Just when Suke Saha was thinking about how to deal with it, Cao Eryu, the palace guard outside, entered the main hall and knelt on the ground to report: "Your Majesty!" Sichuan Li Guoying 600 miles to rush to arrive! ”

This Cao Eryu's wife is Kangxi's nurse, Mrs. Yipin. Cao Eryu was also reused by Shunzhi and Bumu Butai because of his wife, and later his son also became Kangxi's personal bodyguard. As for Cao Eryu's son, needless to say, everyone knows that it is the famous Cao Yin, who is Kangxi's imperial guard with Li Xu.

Seeing Cao Eryu enter the palace to report, Kangxi knew that there must be something important, so he nodded: "Let him come in!" ”

"Wow!" Cao Eryu was ordered to get up and retreat.

Li Guoying's messenger hurriedly entered the main hall, knelt on the ground and bowed: "Bow to the emperor!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

"Flat!" Kangxi Road.

The messenger presented Li Guoying's fold with both hands, and the imperial guards had already taken the fold and went to Kangxi's dragon case with both hands.

"What? Chengdu lost? Kangxi's numb face turned white instantly.

"Your Majesty?" Chief Auxiliary Minister Sonny stepped forward and asked.

"Suo Aiqing, take it and see it yourself!" Kangxi handed over Li Guoying's recital to Sony. Anyway, dealing with major matters is the decision of the four auxiliary ministers, Kangxi only needs to take a look at the folds, go back to the harem and report to Bumu Butai, and then the empress dowager will naturally teach Kangxi how to approve the folds. How to deal with the problem. At present, Kangxi does not have the ability to handle things on his own.

Sony took it and glanced at it, his face changed greatly: "Chengdu is lost?" What does Li Guoying, a dog minion, do? Doesn't it mean that the Kuidong thieves have been pacified? Why did people sneak attack Chengdu? ”

At this time, Sukh Saha and Suppilon also didn't care about the internal fighting, and got together together.

"Three Aiqing, these things will be handed over to you, please play if you have something, and retreat from the dynasty without anything!" Kangxi stood up and said.

Kangxi's last dynasty was originally a formality to learn the knowledge of the imperial court, as for the later major events, it was just handed over to the auxiliary minister to deal with, and what Kangxi had to do was to go back and report to his grandmother Bumu Butai.

After the retreat from the dynasty. Kangxi returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace. Not long after entering the house, the long shout of the chief eunuch of Cining Palace sounded outside: "The Empress Dowager Lafayette has arrived!" ”

Kangxi turned his head and saw Aunt Su Mala supporting Bumu Butai into the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Grandma! E-niang! Kangxi greeted him, "Suke Saha, this dog minion, is actually overbearing!" went against his grandmother's will and killed Zheng Zhilong's family without authorization, which made Aobai fail miserably! ”

Bumu Butai touched Kangxi's head lovingly: "Good grandson, grandmother already knows these things!" Today, my grandmother knows all these things in the court! Li Guoying, a useless minion, actually lost Chengdu! ”

Hearing that Bumu Butai turned the topic to Li Guoying, Kangxi was anxious: "Grandma! If it weren't for Sukh Saha, the dog minion, he was overbearing. Ao Bai sent Zheng Zhilong to Jiangnan as a hostage, how could our army be defeated? ”

Bumu Butai smiled and said, "Good grandson, grandmother knows about Suke Saha's edict!" This dog slave is damned! Good grandson, you can rest assured, Ao Bai will naturally clean up this dog slave when he comes back! But good grandson. Do you think that the fiasco of our army was only caused by the fact that Su Ke Saha killed Zheng Zhilong? Don't you want to think about other reasons? When I entered the customs with eight banners, where did I use such a despicable method as hostage-taking? What battle is not fought above board? We all won! ”

"Ao worship is eager for quick success, and the lonely army is deep. This led to the crushing defeat of our army, so Aobai is also responsible! Kangxi replied.

Who knew that Bumu Butai shook his head and said, "Grandson is wrong!" There was nothing wrong with Ao Bai's command of the operation! The defeat of our army was entirely due to the fact that the opponent used a new type of firearm to destroy our elite Eight Banners cavalry in an instant! If it weren't for the death of Wa He and the three thousand elite Eight Banners under his command. Our army has won the battle of Lin'an! ”

"Elite firearms? What kind of firearms are so powerful? Back then, the ancestors and the Ming people fought, and where could the firearms be the enemy of my Eight Banners Iron Cavalry! When did firearms become so powerful? Kangxi was shocked.

Bumu Butai sighed: "It's not what it used to be! At that time, firearms were not as good as my Eight Banners Iron Horse, but the firearms from the Taixi people are constantly developing, and the firearms will only become more and more powerful in the future! In addition, my Eight Banners have been in the customs for many years, and their combat power has also seriously declined, and the battle has relied on the green battalion, which is why there is a defeat in the south of the Yangtze River! ”

Kangxi said: "Can firearms be developed again?" ”

"yes!" Bu Mu Butai caressed Kangxi's head, "The firearms technology of the Taixi people can be said to be an endless stream of KitKat, and the power of this firearm will become more and more powerful." Grandchildren, you have to remember that you will encounter more powerful firearms in the future. ”

Kangxi said angrily: "Please rest assured, grandmother!" After the grandson pacifies the thieves, the Han people must be forbidden to develop firearms! Only by restricting firearms can we ensure the superiority of our Eight Banners Iron Cavalry over the Han Chinese! ”

Bu Mu Butai said: "Instead of prohibiting the Han people from developing firearms, it is better to let my Eight Banners disciples learn firearms!" Sun Er only banned the firearms of the Han people, but what about other disobedient barbarian states? The Rakshasas in the north, the Dzungars in the northwest. ”

"Grandmother taught me a lesson! Sun Er must let the disciples of the Eight Banners learn firearms! Kangxi replied.

In real history, Kangxi did set up the Beijing Eight Banners Firearms Battalion, but the later Eight Banners soldiers were really rotten, and firearms were the same as burning sticks in their hands, so in the end Kangxi still chose the road of prohibiting the Han people from developing firearms and vigorously developed the Eight Banners of cavalry shooting. But Kangxi didn't know that by the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners soldiers, who had already become moths, couldn't even pull out their strong bows, and could only shoot those toy bows with a range of only five meters and zero armor-piercing ability!

Bumu Butai said again: "Grandson, Aobai can't handle it now, after all, Aobai is much more loyal than Suke Saha!" We're going to keep Ao Bai and Sukh Saha fighting! There are also two white flags, let Ao Bai teach them a lesson! When you grow up in the future, we will see how this person is, if he is still interested in rights, then we will take him down at that time. Grandson, you are the emperor, you must make good use of the two gangs of people in the court to fight, so that they can only bite each other like dogs, and there will be no dominance that threatens your throne in the future! The harder they fight, the better it will be for us! ”

"Grandmother, can Ao Bai pacify the Haikou?" Kangxi asked.

Bu Mu Butai said: "Ao Bai is a man with brains, he knows where he suffers, and he will definitely find ways to improve firearms!" Also, Hong Jingluo is about to send troops to Qiongzhou to attack the thieves' lair! By the way, grandson, you have to remember that the most loyal Han people in the world to us, one is Kong Sizhen, and the other is Hong Jingluo, and the other Han people are not credible! Especially Wu Sangui, the head of the three feudatories! Although the two minions of Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao are still loyal, it is difficult to guarantee what will happen to their descendants! ”

Thousands of miles away in the Sichuan Basin, the Ming Army's Western Expeditionary Army had already harvested autumn grain and harvested a large amount of late rice. However, the Ming army did not plant wheat, because news came that Li Guoying would soon organize troops to counterattack Chengdu.

"If we can't keep Chengdu, we just don't keep it! Since Li Guoying is coming, let him come! He sent people to recapture Chengdu, and he had to divide his troops to garrison it! Let's just call Chengdu back! Wang Jinzhong persuaded his subordinates to prepare to abandon Chengdu and retreat to the mountains of western Sichuan.

Li Guoying divided his troops to recapture Chengdu, and he also sent Zhao Liangdong, who was the most capable of fighting, so that Wang Xinyu had actually achieved his goal. As long as Li Guoying divides his troops, he can reduce the pressure on the Thirteen Families of Kuidong. And Wang Xinyu's order to Wang Jinzhong was to ignore the gains and losses of one city and one place, avoid the main force of the Qing army, and attack the weak points of the Qing army. If there is a chance, harass the Qing army. But Wang Jinzhong still has an idea, he has always wanted to find an opportunity to see the area of Guangyuan and Yangpingguan, but he has never had the opportunity to see it. Since Zhao Liangdong is coming to Chengdu, he will avoid Zhao Liangdong and go to Guangyuan by surprise. (To be continued.) )
