At this point today, it is no wonder that others, the emperor also controls the court, so it is natural to put a person like the flag owner who is detached from the status of the sky, otherwise the seven flag owners will be united, wouldn't they be able to drive the emperor off the dragon chair?

But there are pros and cons to everything, if the flag owner is powerful, the court will not be able to pour oil, and the knife will not be broken, but if the flag owner is not strong, it is easy to affect the authority of the emperor.

So since Huang Taiji, the imperial court has been able to suppress the status of various banner owners, who knows that at this time, it is these banner owners who feel that they are really reliable, but they no longer have the power to say anything.

But now is not the time to regret it, Kangxi sighed: "I think there is some truth in Li Guangdi's remarks, we have killed too many people after entering the customs, which has made the Han people vigilant, and now they are bound to drive us out of the customs to divide the victory and defeat with each other, and we are just losing soldiers and horses in vain." ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister has a question to ask, if we withdraw from the Guannei, what should we do if they still don't forgive? Seeing that it has been 18 years since Kangxi, we have only been in the customs for 36 years, let the old minister go up the mountain to shoot and hunt, and the old minister can still ride a horse, but if it is handed over to others in vain and achieves someone else's world, the old minister would rather die in battle than agree. ”

Kangxi laughed: "Everyone says that the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit, can't this snipe and the clam see the fisherman hiding in the dark?" It's just that the immediate benefits can't be let go, and they just cheapen others for nothing. If I am not sure about other things, but the former Ming and the reverse Zhou originally had a common hatred, and many of the emperors of the former Ming were killed by Wu Sangui himself. ”

An old minister sighed: "I knew this was the case, why did I scatter all the money and grain in Shandong, and now I have made wedding clothes for others in vain." ”

Kangxi's face turned red: "It's all because I didn't think about it, I originally thought that if I won Nanzhili against Zhou, I would definitely have a dirty relationship with Qianming, and when the time comes, let's stand on three feet and slowly clean them up, who knows that the two of them are unmoved, and it seems that they are afraid of our court very much." ”

A minister opened his mouth: "Don't blame yourself too much, we are not immortals, how can we predict the development of things, since we have suffered a loss, we will teach a long lesson next time, there is no need to be upset about the past." ”

"I also want to ask the opinions of the banner owners this time, if you return to Liaodong, are you willing?"

"Your Majesty, don't say anything else, as long as it's a good thing for the Qing Dynasty, don't say it's a retreat to Liaodong, even if you retreat to the mountains, we have no complaints, Your Majesty can rest assured, although our power is not as good as in the past, but the people at half-mast are always able to command, this Beijing city is too comfortable, our children were originally warriors on horses, and more than half of them fell into the gentle countryside and couldn't get up when they came here, so it is really necessary for them to go up to the mountains to live a hard life, and they also know that the ancestors are not easy to fight."

"This matter must not leak the rumors, after the first month of the new year, you will return to Liaodong in the name of worshipping your ancestors, and at that time I will belittle you, let those unreliable people all stay in Beijing, I will also make a trap for the former Ming and the reverse Zhou, this Beijing is not the place where they have achieved fame, it will be their burial ground!"

It can be said that this strategy of retreating to Liaodong is very bold, that is, the young Kangxi has this kind of courage, and after analyzing the pros and cons, he immediately made a decision.

In Kangxi's view, now the Manchu Qing is still a strong Qin in front of the six countries, and the two countries opposite are obviously not the six countries without knowledge, and they have always regarded the Qing Dynasty as their biggest opponent, so in addition to spending national strength, slowly dragged by them to the destruction of the country and the extinction of the clan, he really can't think of any other ending, only by returning to Liaodong, can it be regarded as putting this deer back into the world, when the time comes, whether they are Chu or Han, they must fight to the death, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will recover its vitality for a few years, and then enter the customs to eat it all.

Of course, this decision will definitely not be agreed by most of the people in the court, their families are installed in Beijing, their roots are all left in Beijing, and after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, all the subordinates have sought high positions, and at this time they naturally want to follow the example.

Of course, these people can't be killed, Bandang knows loyal ministers, where can I tell who is dedicated to the country and who is dedicated to the family? can only remove the reliable people first, and the rest of the people will be buried in Beijing of the Qing Dynasty, so that it is impossible for either the former Ming Dynasty or the reverse Zhou to suspect that he is still preparing to make a comeback, and then he will become a Fanbang barbarian, and then admit defeat and surrender, presumably they will begin to fight on their own, and they will have no time to care about things outside the customs.

It's just that this decision is really not so easy, it's like a strong man breaking his wrist, it sounds heroic, and it is also heroic in hindsight, but only when I did it at that time, my heart was like a knife. Thirty-six years after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the ancestors spent countless efforts to win this flower, and now they are going to die in the hands of Kangxi.

He has been determined to be an emperor for the ages since he ascended the throne, and now he has become the king of the dead country, who knows the pain in his heart, when he withdrew from the feudal domain, he made a wrong move, and it became a hatred for the ages. As long as he has the opportunity, he will definitely be able to take back this picturesque country.

Cheng Xiaolian didn't expect Kangxi to be so decisive, he is now arranging the war after the spring in Chengdu, and now there are more and more soldiers, fortunately it is a two-year harvest, otherwise the food will be stretched, but even if it is a bumper harvest, it can not be careless, once it encounters a natural disaster, the food will be cut off from the lifeblood of the army, so one by one military cantonments have been established, and many places have begun to pay grain after the one-year tax exemption period.

In order to pay a high salary, a lot of silver was spent, if it weren't for the family foundation brought back from Myanmar and Zhang Xianzhong's inheritance, now the Ming Dynasty is estimated to be unbearable, and the inland is not as good as the coast, but the silver is a little slow.

It's a pity that Cheng Xiaolian didn't study economics in later generations, and he didn't know anything about the way to make money, and when he saw a hero building a business empire, he was admired in his heart, but he couldn't understand the operation mode of others, and now he can only be annoyed that he didn't study the economic rules at that time, otherwise he could make the silver of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty run to the Ming Dynasty unconsciously.
