The news that Kangxi was going to drive the expedition soon reached Cheng Xiaolian's ears, and Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "If he has been hiding in the Beijing Division, I am really afraid that he will lose so aggrievedly, and he will finally be able to fight in a dignified manner when he comes to the battlefield." ”

Before Kangxi left Beijing, he instructed Tuhai to make his own decisions about Henan affairs, and if there was a delay in the land of the capital, anyone who delayed the Tuhai army, food and grass could be beheaded on the spot, even if Tuhai rebelled on the spot, the news must be transmitted to Kangxi's ears and decided by Kangxi.

"Rank ministers, the Qing Dynasty has reached the critical point of life and death, put away your careful thoughts about fighting for power and profit, if the Ming Dynasty really restores the country, you can't keep anything, let's work together to quell the rebellion, you also have a lifetime of wealth, if the Qing Dynasty is dead, you are not far from destruction."

Of course, these courtiers know the order of Kangxi and the meaning of these words, Tuhai is now acting on behalf of the emperor, if he dares to stumble again, his head is estimated to be unable to keep, and the last few words are to put the situation in front of them, the former Ming Dynasty has only been in the country for 30 years, and many people remember how those courtiers of the Ming Dynasty fought endlessly at the beginning, and finally let people eat the meat.

Regarding Tuhai, Kangxi came to a conclusion after consulting his grandmother.

"Your Majesty, do you think Tuhai will rebel?"

"No, Tuhai is a courtier left by his father, with a sincere heart to serve the country, and when he went to Mongolia with a team of minions to quell the chaos, he went with the heart of death."

"In that case, why does the emperor still worry about him, if the surroundings are all dragging behind, even the gods will not be able to win this battle."

In fact, Kangxi just had the intention of beating Tuhai, this royal means is like this, you have to let the courtiers always be in awe of the king so that they will not make trouble, but they didn't expect that this would limit Tuhai's play, and now after the empress dowager woke up, he immediately understood what the problem was, and immediately made this will.

Tuhai, who was fighting against Qin Yue in Henan, heard this will, and his mood was surging, and the emperor finally understood the reason why he couldn't win, although it was a little late, but he was confident that he would be able to calm the war.

On the other hand, Cheng Xiaolian has already stationed troops in Jiangzhou, he originally planned to take advantage of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to continue to go deeper, but the generals around him all stood up to oppose it, this place is at the junction with Henan Mansion, if Tuhai gets the news and rushes to copy the back road, then he will have to plug his wings and be difficult to fly.

Cheng Xiaolian can only listen to their opinions, the army is stationed in Jiangzhou, he has only one impression of Jiangzhou, when he listened to the commentary in later generations, Xue Rengui, a native of Longmen, Jiangzhou, Shanxi, only asked the people around to know that Jiangzhou Longmen has been changed to Hejin, after all, this title is a little disliked by the imperial court, but all words related to dragons must of course involve the emperor, and this Jiangzhou Longmen and the emperor can not fight, so naturally the title was changed.

Shanxi is mountainous, especially around Jiangzhou, there are five or six famous mountains alone, not to mention those without names, the generals of the Ming Dynasty chose this place because they felt that once there was a risk, His Majesty could sneak back to Shaanxi as long as he entered the mountain.

A month later, the Manchu army had assembled in Pingyang Province, later known as Linfen City, and the two sides were only a little more than 100 miles apart. Cheng Xiaolian wanted to see Kangxi, the Manchu emperor who was praised on the altar.

No matter how later generations praised the prosperous Kangqian era, Cheng Xiaolian has never taken it seriously, and has even been very dissatisfied with him for listing astronomy, music and calculation methods as banned books, as Kit Kat and obscenity, as far as the Qing Empire he built is concerned, it does make many people eat, but his lock, in the past hundred years in modern times, the dignified Chinese countries have been reduced to fish and meat to be slaughtered, so it is not very much to say that I admire Cheng Xiaolian.

Everything he did may have been for the continuation of the rule of the Manchus, or for the sake of his name before and after his death, but he never considered it for the sake of this nation, and his vision was limited to a country, and he did lose some courage.

Even if the Wanli Emperor did not go to court for decades, he heard that Korea was invaded by the East and came to ask for help, and he had to help when he ran out of the treasury, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty easily ceded the land in the face of the fierce Russian Empire, although in exchange for peace, but lost a spirit, and this kind of thing slowly evolved into the mouth of the last queen mother, rather than a friend, not a house slave. Measure the material resources of China and form the joy of the country.

Cheng Xiaolian did not deny his ability, but refused to recognize his merits, his merit was to continue the rule of the feudal dynasty, and ruined China's last chance to catch up with the world, and this time Cheng Xiaolian did not intend to give him this opportunity again.

Kangxi sneezed in Pingyang Mansion, and the surrounding eunuchs hurriedly surrounded him: "Master, the cold is still very heavy in spring, so let's wear an extra robe." ”

"I'm fine, you don't have to say more." Kangxi was afraid that he didn't expect that more than a hundred miles away, someone would have such a deep grudge against him, and he even had a feeling of sympathy in his heart Since the emperor of the Ming Dynasty can also be regarded as a hero, the two sides should have a feeling of sympathy for each other.

So when the armies of the two sides met in front of the Taiping Pass three days later, Kangxi also specially put forward the idea of meeting Cheng Xiaolian.

Cheng Xiaolian naturally went to see him very generously, he had a very important thing to do, because of this matter, he had to meet Kangxi.

The two emperors met, but they did not call each other me, the courtiers said that I was just to establish prestige, there was no need between them, the two people sat under the canopy, and even prepared preserved tea and fruit, both of them believed that both sides could not kill each other here, but they would never do it here, because there were people from both sides only a hundred meters before and after, but if one party dared to make a move, the other person would never be able to escape.

Most of Cheng Xiaolian's impression of Kangxi comes from Mr. Chen in childhood film and television dramas, and now he is a little disappointed when he sees Kangxi's true face, but he is far worse than Mr. Chen.

Kangxi's face can only be regarded as delicate, and there are some pockmarks embellished in addition to the delicate, if this aspect is born in an ordinary family, I am afraid it is difficult to say that it is close. In this comparison, Cheng Xiaolian is much more satisfied with his appearance.

"I have long heard that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is a child younger than me, and now I see that it is really worthy of the name."

"I heard that when you ascended the throne at a young age, you eliminated the auxiliary minister Ao Bai of the court, since you want to oppose you, of course you have to make higher achievements than you." Cheng Xiaolian did not show weakness, and immediately replied like a needle.
