Chapter 353: Sacrifice of Prisoners

"Nope! I'm not going to Gangnam! I don't want to go to Gangnam! Kangxi roared hysterically.

Huang Zhao waved his hand, and the two soldiers pressed Kangxi, who was almost jumping up. Seeing that Kangxi was subdued, Huang Zhao sneered and pointed to the sea and said, "Hmph! Whether you want to go to Jiangnan or not, whatever you want, if you don't want to go, then jump from here! Anyway, the sea is not covered, you can jump down and swim to Tianjin, and no one will stop you. ”

Kangxi glanced out from the railing, and saw the giant ship sailing on the yellow-green sea, plowing white waves, looking westward, endless, and unable to see the edge at all. Where did he dare to jump from the boat? Although Kangxi knows a little water, unlike the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he can't swim, but his water is very poor, jumping from here, can he swim back? After thinking about it carefully, Kangxi, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, gave up the urge to jump.

In the Yellow Sea in summer, the wind and waves are calm, and the huge ironclad ships have almost no bumps on the sea. The fleet sailed all the way south on the sea, and it was a fleet consisting of a Shandong-class 4,000-ton ironclad ship, a Qiongzhou-class 2,000-ton ironclad ship, and two sail-mounted steam dual-powered third-class battleships equipped with steam engines.

With the mass production of steam engines, Wang Yu asked workers to modify the sail battleships, and some of the sail battleships were equipped with steam engines and turned into dual-powered warships, but the hull was still wooden.

Since Kangxi knew that he was not going to Beijing, but Nanjing, he was extremely depressed. He knew very well in his heart that if he went to Beijing, there was a chance that his life would not be in danger, Yongli would not be able to kill himself, Wu Yingqi would not kill himself, and the only person who could kill himself was Wu Shifan, but even one Wu Shifan would not be successful. Although Kangxi killed Wu Yingxiong, Wu Yingxiong died, which is a good thing for Wu Yingqi, and Wu Yingqi will find an excuse to keep Kangxi no matter what he says.

But when they went to Nanjing, the southern gentry hated the Qing court.

On the 10th of Yangzhou, the three massacres in Jiading, the three major cases in Jiangnan, and the literary prison, the Qing court waved the butcher's knife against the Jiangnan gentry again and again, plundering the wealth of Jiangnan, and the people of Jiangnan had long hated the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The fleet sailed into the port of Nanjing and docked at Nanjing.

The news that Kangxi and other Manchu royal families were escorted to Nanjing had already been sent by clipper ship in advance. When the shadow of the fleet appeared on the river downstream, the docks were already crowded with onlookers.

The ironclad ship docked on the dock, and the dejected Kangxi and others got off the ship. When he got off the boat, he realized that he had come to Nanjing this time to offer prisoners, and there was no spacious and comfortable carriage to pick him up, and he, like other members of the royal family and Manchu officials, was escorted and walked on foot. After Kangxi and the others got off the ship, the Ming soldiers and soldiers carried down the cages from the boat that held the eight families of the Jin merchants, as well as the traitors of all sizes.

Kangxi walked down the street with his head down, followed by a group of Manchu royal family and Manchu officials with their heads down, flanked by escorted Ming soldiers, all wearing flying fish suits, embroidered spring knives at their waists, and wingless black gauze hats. There are also elite soldiers with rear-loading rifled guns on their shoulders and six-wheeled pistols on their waists. Seeing Kangxi and other people from the Manchu court coming, the people on the street made a noise, the common people pointed and scolded, and from time to time some people threw stones, rotten vegetable leaves, and rotten eggs. But this is not bad, until the Manchu royal family and officials walked by, when the prisoner car procession appeared behind, the ordinary people standing on both sides of the street really boiled at this time.

"Kill them!"

"Cut these traitors with a thousand knives!"

"Without these traitors, how could the Tartars steal the Central Plains?"

Stones, rotten leaves, rotten eggs flew out like rain, and the cage of the prisoner car was covered with all kinds of garbage.

In the Forbidden City of Nanjing, Kangxi and others were escorted into the Forbidden City of Nanjing by the Ming army. Regarding the Manchu royal family being escorted to Nanjing, Wang Yu did not go out to greet him, but put on a victorious posture and sat on the main hall of the Forbidden City and waited.

As soon as Kangxi saw Wang Yu, he knelt down with a plop, and howled with a handful of snot and tears: "The prince spares his life!" The prince spares his life! I don't want to die, as long as the prince can let me go, no matter what the prince says, I can promise the prince! ”

Seeing Kangxi's performance like this, Tu Hai and Suo Etu and the others shook their heads in disappointment, even Bu Mu Butai felt very dissatisfied, she wanted to stand up and reprimand, but was stopped by the guards.

"What else can you do for the Hon?" Wang Yu sneered, "Is it a person, or a territory?" Or gold and silver treasures? All your men have surrendered, and your territory is gone. As for the gold and silver treasures, we will take them ourselves. Tell me, what use do you have for this domain? ”

Kangxi was stunned when he heard this, and he lay on the ground and cried.

"Grandson! Get up! Bu Mu Butai finally couldn't help it, she ignored the guards' obstruction, and rushed out to reprimand, "Since the first emperor raised troops outside the pass, we Manchurian warriors have not been greedy for life and afraid of death!" How can you say that you are also a person who has been an emperor! The face of my Manchurian warrior has been lost by you! ”

Wang Yu laughed: "I can't imagine that the so-called Emperor of the Ages is such a!" Get up, this clan has figured it out now, there's no point in killing you! Now that we are in the age of firearms, your horseback archery will never be able to turn the sky again! Daming has begun to enter industrialization, and all kinds of powerful firearms can be produced in a steady stream! Our giant ships are about to cross the world's oceans! Do you think you still have a chance to step into the Central Plains again? ”

"Thank you for not killing!" Kangxi knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Wang Yu said again: "Although this domain can not kill you, but it is not a way for you to go back like this, so let's do it, this domain will find someone to go to the capital and ask you for the canonization of the great emperor." In addition, the way that this domain gave you the Qing Kingdom was to go all the way west to Europa, where the world of flowers was no worse than that of the Central Plains. ”

After the Manchu royal family and officials retreated, Wang [Fu] Chen stepped forward and asked suspiciously: "Dashuai, did you just let go of the Tartar puppet emperor?" How easy did we arrest him, and we still have to ask him for canonization? ”

"Hahaha!" Wang Yu laughed, and then lowered his voice and said to Wang [Fu] Chen, "Of course, this domain will not send someone to ask for canonization from the Tartar Puppet Emperor, but will let the Tartar Puppet Emperor go to the capital in person. ”

Wang [Fu] asked the minister, "Let him go to the capital in person?" Going to the capital, isn't it equivalent to letting him go? ”

"Who said to let him go?" Wang Yu smiled, "Do you think that the Tartar Puppet Emperor went to the capital, and there was still a way to live?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Wang [Fu] asked the minister.

Wang Yu said: "Maybe you think that when he killed Wu Yingxiong, it was invisibly equivalent to helping Wu Yingqi." But can Wu Yingqi let go of the Tartar puppet emperor? Even if he is grateful in his heart, this kind of thing can't be put on the surface! What's more, among the Wu army, many people can be said to hate the Tartar puppet emperor because of Wu Yingxiong's death. Wu Yingqi wants to lift his nephew's vigilance and buy the hearts of the generals of the Wu army, no matter how he says, it is impossible to let Kang Mazi go. ”

"Handsome and clever! This trick is a clever way to kill people with a knife! "The king [auxiliary] said.
