Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Page 175

These questions are all asked by Jackie Chan.

Yu Chenglong had just defected from the Qing Dynasty, and the information he had was the "freshest". Moreover, he had a good relationship with Fan Chengmo, so he should know a lot of secrets.

"Jianguo," Yu Chenglong reported immediately, "Hangzhou is an empty city. The troops of Qing Yao in Zhejiang are the governor, admiral, and the pacesetters of the governor, as well as the warships of the Nanyang Navy. Among them, Yang Jie, the admiral of Zhejiang For some time, he was stationed in Quzhou to prevent the prime minister's soldiers from coming in from Jiangxi... Now that the situation in Zhejiang is collapsing so quickly, he should not dare to return to Hangzhou to help, and he will not be able to return to help."

The current situation in Zhejiang is that the Qing Dynasty is collapsing. If Yang Jie wants to go back to Hangzhou, he may not even be able to find a boat or bridge to cross the water town...so his only way out is to flee to Huizhou Prefecture in Jiangnan Province.

"Jiaxing must be an empty city," Yu Chenglong said again, "Jiaxing is under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang. Where are there any soldiers in Zhejiang? Suzhou, Changzhou, and Zhenjiang, which are now included in Jiangnan Province, may have some troops, but not too many. Kangxi My mind is still using Nanjing as a bait to lure Wu Sangui into the bait. As for Mr. Lizhou, he has returned to Baiyunzhuang outside Ningbo city a few days ago."

Zhu Heqi nodded and said, "Okay, Yu Shan and Yi Zhi, let's go to Baiyun Academy together! By the way, Yi Zhi, call Mr. Leibniz again."

Chapter 404 Hurry up and tell Wu Sangui that the people in Jiangnan love Daming!

Kangxi Kang Mazi, the "innocent fool", had times when he was "faint", and sometimes "not too faint", sometimes "very innocent", and sometimes "generally innocent" and "not too innocent".

For example, when he dealt with Huang Zongxi, a deceitful scourge, he was "not too faint" and "not too innocent".Not only was Huang Zongxi not killed, but Huang Zongxi was sent back to Ningbo, and Fan Chengmo was asked to "take good care of him"—of course, the meaning was very clear, that is, to let Fan Chengmo keep an eye on Huang Zongxi and not let him slip away.

In addition, Huang Zongxi's family must be killed when Fan Chengmo evacuates!

But things backfired. Before Fan Chengmo had time to let Huang Zongxi be killed, he himself became Zhu Hechi's prisoner...waiting to be killed!

And the Zhejiang soldiers he sent to guard Huang Zongxi, after hearing that the soldiers from the Ming Dynasty had come, how could they care to look at Huang Zongxi?This is because Mr. Lizhou's reputation exploded after the end of the Nanjing Consultative Conference. He is known as the "Ningbo Sage", and Zhu Heqi, the "Chaozhou Sage", is also called "Double Saints"!

Now that the "Sages of Chaozhou" have come to Ningbo, they will definitely come to see the "Sages of Ningbo"... Are these little demons running away?That "Chaozhou sage" is said to be very powerful in spells. Maybe if a flying sword is thrown over, everyone's heads will fall to the ground.

And Huang Zongxi also considered that the "Sage of Chaozhou" would definitely visit, so early in the morning, the family members were all dressed in Ming Dynasty clothes, all the men in the family cut off their braids, cleaned the room, and prepared tea and snacks. Quietly waiting for the arrival of Zhu Heqi.

And Zhu Hexi didn't keep Huang Zongxi waiting too long. Around [-]:[-] in the morning, he took Yan Yuan, Yu Chenglong, and Lei Bu who was forced to "work part-time to pay off debts" in Daming because of diarrhea and ate expensive garlic. Nitz, soon came to Baiyunzhuang outside Ningbo city.

On the way to Baiyunzhuang, both Zhu and Qi were discussing "magic problems" and "arithmetic problems" in Leibniz... Yan Yuan listened carefully from the sidelines, and when he heard something he didn't understand, he would not be ashamed to ask— —These three are all academic masters!Among them, Zhu Heqi is still the most stupid among the three, and he didn't even get into Peking University and Tsinghua University in his previous life.

But Yan Yuan's head is left to future generations, and it is possible to become an academician of the Academy of Sciences.

As for Leibniz... he was an academy in his own right!He is now one of only two academicians of the Daming Academy of Magic (equivalent to the Academy of Sciences).The other academician is of course Zhu Hechi himself.

Because they did not plan to release Leibniz back to Europe, Zhu Heqi no longer concealed the truth about "spells" from Leibniz, and invited him to participate in their own "spell research".

At the same time, Zhu Heqi also shamelessly studied mathematics, physics, and astronomy with Leibniz... because Zhu Heqi's "extreme knowledge" also saved Leibniz with "magic medicine" He also promised to make Leibniz a nobleman (this guy really wants to be a nobleman), so Leibniz is extremely satisfied with his current work and life, and he is already "happy here, not thinking about Europe".

Yan Yuan could barely understand the discussion between Leibniz and Zhu Heqi, but Yu Chenglong couldn't understand it at all.Although these two guys speak Chinese, but official Yu Daqing doesn't understand at all... I only know that these two are "mages" and are discussing spells now!

This spell...it seems to really exist!

Thinking of this, Yu Chenglong looked up at the sky, as if he was imagining the scene of a fairy descending from the sky with a flying sword.

……

"Huang Zongxi, a native of Lizhou Mountain, respectfully invites the Ming Dynasty to supervise the country's Jinan!"

Outside Baiyun Manor, Huang Zongxi finally saw the Han Mingzhu who he was looking forward to day and night who could restore China. Of course, Huang Zongxi already knew that most of Zhu Hexi's troops slept on the streets of Yin County last night.

In his opinion, this is just a show!

Zhu Heqi didn't march into Yin County with an army of [-], he only brought a few thousand people to fight.

In Yinxian City, there are Zhifu Yamen, Zhixian Yamen, many temples, and the military camp of the Qing army guarding the city.Why can't it accommodate thousands of people?

But being able to achieve this level also shows that Zhu Heqi really pretends to be the common people in his heart, and he also knows what to do?

Moreover, Zhu Heqi's army is not pretending to be harmless to the people. His army has been extremely disciplined since the Jieyang Uprising, and it has followed the path of a benevolent and righteous army. It has persisted until now without wavering.

This shows that Zhu Hechi is determined and has a strong ability to control the army, which can be ordered and banned.

This point alone has surpassed Kangxi and Wu Sangui!

Huang Zongxi already knew the reason why Zhu Heqi was able to enforce the order and prohibition—Zhu Heqi had magic spells, and his magic spells were very effective, so he was a "true saint" and had a large number of believers.

Therefore, Zhu Heqi's control of the army is not entirely based on interests, but can also use the beliefs of believers.Kangxi and Wu Sangui also couldn't do this.Especially Wu Sangui, he is a notorious guy at all, not for profit, no one would follow him at all.

Therefore, the army of Zhu Hexi had faith and doctrine, while the army of Wu Sangui and Kangxi had no faith and doctrine.

In Huang Zongxi's view, there is no suspense at all about the outcome of the three.

The question now is just how long it will take for Zhu and Qi to destroy Qing Pingzhou and rule the world?

The performance of Zhu Heqi's army in Zhejiang also confirmed Huang Zongxi's judgment.

Now that Zhu and Qi are sure to win, Huang Zongxi certainly knows whose side to stand on.

So in Baiyunzhuang, when Zhu Hexi told him that Wu Sangui and Kangxi might collude, and that Kangxi set up a Jiangnan camp in Zijin Mountain, Huang Zongxi immediately knew what to do.

"Jianguo, this old man can go to the Zhou army camp, meet Wu Sangui, tell him that the people in Jiangnan are already on Daming's side, and ask him not to come to Jiangnan."

"That's great!" Zhu Heqi laughed, "With Mr. Lizhou willing to come forward, Wu Sangui will definitely not have any ideas about Jiangnan again."

This is not because of Huang Zongxi's embarrassment, but because Huang Zongxi can tell Wu Sangui the opinions of the people in the south of the Yangtze River - Wu Sangui believes what he said!

Although Kangxi could let Zu Zepu and Hong Shiming learn from Feng Ting and raise Jiangnan to descend to Zhou Dynasty, if the people in Jiangnan all support Daming, what can Zu Zepu and Hong Shiming do?

Huang Zongxi glanced at Zhu Heqi, and reminded: "Jianguo...Wu Sangui's not coming to Jiangnan doesn't mean he won't take Jiangbei!

If he seizes Jiangbei, how will Jian Guo conquer the Central Plains?If Wu Sangui takes the lead and conquers the city of Beijing, can Jian Guo still become the lord of the world?Wu Sangui repeated that he was a villain, if he was allowed to obtain the divine weapon, there would be more than ten years of strife in the world! "

"Mr. Lizhou, don't worry," Zhu Heqi said with a smile, "Beijing will not fall into Wu Sangui's hands, and the Northern Expedition will not be all on land, you can go directly to Yanyun by sea!"

Huang Zongxi nodded: "In this case, the old man can rest assured. But since the old man is going to the Wu camp, he always needs a name."

This is asking Zhu and Qi for an official!

However, Huang Zongxi's official career also showed that the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River had already taken refuge in Zhu Heqi-although these guys were not very capable of fighting, they had a little bit of training on hand, and they also had a lot of ships and food.As long as they take refuge in Zhu Heqi, Zhu Heyi's army can move freely in the south of the Yangtze River without worrying about food.

In addition, Zhu and Qi can also concentrate their forces for action without having to consider major local problems.

Zhu Hexi said: "The lonely family should grant Mr. Lizhou the title of Taishi!"

The grand master sounds great, but he doesn't have any real power.

However, Huang Zongxi still seemed very satisfied, he stood up with a smile and saluted Zhu Heqi: "My minister Huang Zongxi thanked the supervisor for his kindness."

After thanking you, Huang Zongxi reminded Zhu Heqi again: "Jianguo, if you stop your troops at the foot of the Zijin Mountain for a long time and cannot leave for a long time, Wu Sangui may still be able to keep the promise, but it is hard to say that his subordinates still have two sons." ah!"

Zhu Hechi smiled coldly and said, "The lonely family knows!"

Chapter 405 Don't panic if you have a grave in your hand!

When Zhu Heqi was driving forward in Zhejiang, and when he was about to sweep the whole province, his opponent, Emperor Kangxi, the Mayan Holy Lord of the Qing Dynasty, was not idle either.Kangxi was busy splitting up the two provinces of Jiangsu and Anhui in order to rely on the two natural moats of the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River to set up three lines of defense to stop Zhu and Wu's northern expedition to the Central Plains.

The two provinces of Jiangsu and Anhui temporarily disappeared from the map, and they were replaced by Jiangnan Province, which included the Jiangnan part of Jiangsu and Anhui, Jiangbei Province, which included the Jianghuai part of Jiangsu and Anhui, and Huaibei, which consisted of the Huaibei part of Jiangsu and Anhui. Province.

Among them, the provincial capital of Jiangnan Province is located in Jiangning Mansion - the name of Nanjing Yingtian Mansion has been "laid off" for the time being, and the old name of Jiangning Mansion has returned.

The provincial capital of Jiangbei Province is placed in Shouzhou Mansion - this mansion was established by dividing the Huainan part of Fengyang Mansion, and the mansion is located in Shouzhou, an important town in Huainan under Bagong Mountain.

The capital of Huaibei Province is placed in Xuzhou, which has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

In addition to establishing the three provinces of Jiangnan, Jiangbei, and Huaibei, Emperor Kangxi also set up six camps in one go, including Jiangnan Daying, Jiangbei Daying, Anqing Daying, Huainan Daying, Xuzhou Daying, and Zhengzhou Daying, as a defensive Zhuang. The most critical point of support for the Ming, Wu and Zhou offensives.

Among them, Sun Sike is the minister in charge of the Jiangnan camp, Fu Honglie is the minister in charge of the Jiangbei camp, Zhuobutai is in charge of the Anqing camp, and the governor of the Huainan camp in Shouzhou is the former governor of Anhui, now Jiangbei. Governor Mi Sihan concurrently served as the governor, and Tu Hai, the general manager of Xuzhou Daying - he also served as the governor of Huaibei at the same time, which was regarded as getting rid of the bad luck of always jumping into the river.As for the minister in charge of Zhengzhou Daying, it was Fei Yanggu who "defeated" Zhu Heqi in the Battle of Xiangkou.

Kangxi's Eight Banners new army has also carried out some rectification in the past period of time-this time the rectification method is not to open the slave door, but to convert most of the sailors of the Yangtze River Navy into officers and soldiers of the Land Division.In the last battle of Xiangkou, the land division of the Eight Banners New Army suffered heavy losses, losing almost 2 people.However, the loss of personnel of the Eight Banners Navy was not great. After all, the Ming army's "surging rocket boats" retreated after shooting the rockets, and most of the sailors who abandoned the ship and escaped swam to the banks of the Yangtze River.

Therefore, after Kangxi reduced the number of naval divisions of the Eight Banners New Army from the original 2 to a few thousand, nearly [-] people could be added to the land division.

In this way, the new Xianghuang and Zhengbai banner troops who suffered heavy losses in the Xiangkou battle regained their vitality, at least in terms of numbers.

After filling up the number of new troops of the Eight Banners, Emperor Kangxi drew a Gushan of 5000 people from each banner of the New Army of the Eight Banners, plus the thousands of people of the Eight Banners Navy (it can also be counted as a Gushan ), were deployed to the six battalions.

Among them, the Anqing, Jiangbei, and Jiangnan battalions have the largest number of troops, and each has two Gushan battalions, while the Huainan, Zhengzhou, and Xuzhou battalions have only one Gushan battalion.

As for the main force of the Eight Banners New Army, it is still controlled by Emperor Kangxi himself, stationed in the Qingliuguan area, waiting for the opportunity to move!

According to Kangxi's plan, if Wu Sangui couldn't resist the temptation to move eastward, he would lead the main force of the Eight Banners New Army to retreat northward to the Xuzhou Camp to watch the decisive battle between Wu and Zhu.If Wu Sangui resists the temptation...then Emperor Kangxi is not afraid either!

Because he has a grave in his hand!

Now that he has a grave in his hand, he doesn't panic!

So after Kangxi learned that Zhu Heqi's army had occupied Ningbo and Shaoxing, and was rushing towards Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province, which had long been an empty city, Emperor Kangxi's royal driver swaggered from Qingliuguan, crossed the Yangtze River, and entered Hujulong again. The Jinling City on the plate.

But this time he did not enter the inner city of Jinling, but landed from Wumadu, and then went straight to Zijin Mountain... to see the grave!

Well, it's really auspicious to look at the grave before the decisive battle!

……

"Your majesty, look at how nice this tomb is... It is built on the mountain, facing south from the north, with beautiful scenery and magnificent momentum! Moreover, the location of this tomb is also good. It is only five or six miles away from the Forbidden City in Nanjing, and it is also close to the busiest place on the Qinhuai River in Nanjing." It’s just over ten miles away, how convenient it is!”

Standing on the Sifang City of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, introducing the cemetery to Emperor Kangxi was Sun Sike, who had made countless contributions to the Qing Dynasty in history, but was always unable to get promoted.

But listening to what he said now, Emperor Kangxi was already broad-minded to be able to linger in the post of chief soldier and admiral for decades. If he were to be replaced with a real small-bellied owner, he would have been killed a long time ago.

But Kangxi couldn't help frowning now, thinking: "What did Sun Sike say? Is this trying to sell the Zijin Mountain cemetery to me as a cemetery? The location is good, and it's convenient... Could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang returned it after lunch?" Can you take a stroll in the Forbidden City in Nanjing, and then take a stroll along the Qinhuai River at night?"

Hong Shiming, who was standing beside him, was a little dumbfounded when he heard Sun Sike's words... No matter how good the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum was, it belonged to Zhu Yuanzhang and could not be transferred to Kangxi.The house can be transferred second-hand or third-hand, but the tomb cannot be transferred in this way.

"Your Majesty," Hong Shiming hurriedly explained for Sun Sike, "Sun Junmen means that if you set up a stronghold in the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty, you can peek at the Forbidden City and the Qinhuai River in Jinling City, mount cannons, and even blast shells directly into the city. So Whether it is Zhu Ni or Wu Ni, as long as they get Jinling, they will definitely attack Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum at any cost. The terrain of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, with Dajinmen, Sifang City, Civil and Military Fangmen, Stele Hall, and East and West Halls , Neihongmen, and Fangcheng were all built very strong, and the servants and Sun Junmen have ordered people to strengthen and renovate them these days, and they have all been built into fortresses.

In addition, next to the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty, there is the Dongling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty, which is the tomb of Zhu Biao, Prince Yiwen... It can also be used to garrison troops and build fortifications!

These two hills are enough to garrison more than ten thousand soldiers, and even if there are one hundred thousand bandits, it is difficult to break through! "

Emperor Kangxi nodded, and asked again: "Is the military food ready? Will the drinking water be cut off?"

"Don't worry, your majesty, the army rations hoarded by this slave is enough to last three years!" Sun Sike replied with a smile, "Moreover, there are so many water sources on Zijin Mountain that it is impossible to be cut off... The slave looks at the terrain of Jinling, and Zijin Mountain is actually the most suitable The place where the emperor’s residence was built. If Zhu Yuanzhang built part of Jinling City on Zijin Mountain and built several fortresses along the mountain, it would have been very difficult for the heavenly soldiers to break through Jinling!”

Emperor Kangxi was finally relieved, and said to Hong Shiming and Sun Sike with a smile: "Then I will safely hand over Jinling, the emperor's home, to you two!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry," Sun Sike assured, patted his chest, "there are servants here, Ming Xiaoling Tomb and Ming Dongling Tomb are the places where Zhu Wu Erni died!"

Hong Shiming assured Kangxi: "If Wu Ni comes to the east, the slave will be the emperor's undercover agent! If Zhu Ni comes to the north, the slave will guard the Ming Xiaoling Tomb and the Ming Dong Tomb together with Sun Junmen...with these two tombs in hand , Zhu Ni dare not let go of his hands and feet, so we will definitely win!"

Emperor Kangxi showed a satisfied expression, and just about to say a few more encouraging words, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps, and then came the voice of his confidant bodyguard, Minister Duolong: "Your Majesty, the governor of Jiangnan has sent a booklet! "

"Oh?" Kangxi stretched out his hand to take the booklet with a pockmarked face, unfolded it and read it. After reading it, he frowned and said, "Zhu Ni has already taken Hangzhou... so fast!"

"Your Majesty, Zhu Ni is already in a hurry!" Hong Shiming said, "He should have found out that his ancestral tomb has been taken by us... Besides, there is probably no good news for Wu Sangui."

Now Wu Sangui's attitude is very ambiguous, while clamoring to march eastward to Huainan; at the same time, he repeatedly expressed to Zhuge Sanhe that he would not send troops to Jiangxi, nor would he move the Ming army around Anqing, and Wu Zhou's navy would not cross Banbi Mountain——Tian Jia The defense line of the Ming army in the town.

At the same time, Wu Sangui made a request to Kangxi through Wang Shirong, demanding that Kangxi return to the north of the Huaihe River immediately!

Kangxi sneered and said: "Wu Sangui is not doing big things after all... He forgets his life when he sees small gains, and cherishes his life when he does big things! I have fulfilled his wish and retreated northward to the Huaihe River! Hong Qing, do you know what to do? ?”

"I know!" Hong Shiming said, "I will immediately persuade Zu Zepu to join Wu Sangui!"

Chapter 406 Rebellion by order, what is the law of heaven?

In the Yamen of Jiangnan Governor in Jiangning City, Zu Zepu, Governor of Jiangnan, Zu Yonglie, Admiral of Jiangnan, and several other ancestors of the "Lie" generation and the "Liang" generation, all gathered in the three halls at the moment , all of them staring with big eyes, all with helpless faces.

Although these ancestors are related to Wu Sangui, they are different from Zu Zeqing. They are not Wu Sangui's "little fans", and they don't want to follow Wu Sangui to fight against the Qing Dynasty at all... They just want to lie down and live a stable life.

But the problem is that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop!

Someone forced their family to rebel!

What is even more worrying is that none of them dared to expose the person who forced them to rebel to the court, because that person was none other than Aixinjueluo Xuanye, the Mayan ancestor of the Qing Dynasty.

How can this be revealed?Could they still expose Xuanye's rebellion to Kangxi Shangmi Zhe?It's useless to go up this secret!

So now their ancestors who are forced to board the pirate ship really have no choice... Either the whole family hangs themselves together, and they also end up "resisting the edict and being loyal ministers".Or let's rebel together in accordance with the order and take refuge in Wu Sangui!

But the problem is... Wu Sangui, an old fox, has not said that he is willing to accept them until now!

Wu Sangui and his ancestors are related, but being related means that Wu Sangui will unconditionally accept the "Shangdang" given to him by his ancestors?Did Kangxi and Zhou Peigong think that Wu Sangui hadn't read the Warring States Policy?

Wu Sangui is familiar with "Warring States Policy" and knows what kind of plans these two bastards Kangxi and Zhou Peigong are playing!

If they rebelled in the south of the Yangtze River and defected to Wu, but Wu Sangui refused to accept them, and Zhu and Qi rushed to kill them, what would they do?

"Why don't we rely on Daming!"

It was Zu Kefa's son Zu Yonglie who was talking, and he really looked wronged - he used to be the commander of the Han army in Beijing, how happy he was to eat and wait for death?Now he suddenly became a Jiangnan polished admiral... said to be an admiral, with dozens of Goshhas under his command, and he didn't even get a bid.

According to the decree of Emperor Kangxi, the pacesetters of the governor, admiral, and governor of Jiangnan were all controlled by Sun Sike, the minister in charge of the Jiangnan camp.

"Vote for Daming?" Zu Zepu gave Zu Yonglie a stern look, "What are you going to vote for? Do you have soldiers in your Jiangnan admiral's hands to supervise? Our little lives are in the hands of the surname Sun! We want If you dare to vote for Da Ming, you will have to move your head immediately!"

"Exactly!" Zu Chenglie, a cousin of Zu Yonglie, who is also of the "Lie" generation, nodded and said, "I, the prefect of Jiangning, doesn't even have Min Zhuang, and it's all in Hong Shiming's fucking hands!"

Zu Zepu sighed: "Not only can we take Jinling City to seek refuge with Daming, we can't even escape by ourselves..."

"Then what should I do? Is it possible to survive to die?"
