The crisis caused by Shang Kexi's greed for life and fear of death and the monk's letter was finally temporarily suppressed by Emperor Kangxi using the means of "pointing evil as loyalty" and "pointing life as death".

In addition to means, Kangxi also paid the price.

He released Wu Yingxiong, who had been detained in his hands for many years!

Although while releasing Wu Yingxiong, Wu Yingxiong's eldest son Wu Shilin was left in Beijing, Wu Shilin could not be compared with Wu Yingxiong. If Wu Sangui was really dead as the rumor said, it would be fine. If this old traitor used the means of pretending to be dead and living, Kangxi would be a little passive.

Relying on Wu Shilin, you can't control Wu Sangui, who is a hero!

Fortunately, Wu Sangui is old after all, and he may not have the ambition to compete for the world when he was young. What's more, now, Wu Yingxiong's character, at least in Kangxi's opinion, does not have the ambition to conquer the world.

If Wu Sangui is really dead, then Wu Yingxiong will not be difficult to comfort him.

Therefore, Kangxi would rather hand Yunnan over to Wu Yingxiong, who was aware of his knowledge, than let Wu Yingqi, who was indecipherable to the throne after Wu Sangui.

Of course, when things have come to this point, Emperor Kangxi will not be completely unprepared for Wu Sangui.

So while releasing Wu Yingxiong, Emperor Kangxi was also preparing to send his killer Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers!

Just as Wu Yingxiong and Shang Zhidian were happily preparing to move, Emperor Kangxi summoned the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and some ministers of the Political Consultative Affairs Office in the Nanshu room, and began to discuss how to encircle and suppress the Third Prince of Zhu and how to use the precious Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers.

On a wall in the Nan Study Room, a half-land map made by the Hanlin Bachelor's College has been hung.

The so-called half-land map means that there are only Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Liangjiang, Huguang, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou in this map, and there are no Central Plains, Northeast, Northwest, Mongolia, etc.

On this half of the map of the country, there are six key prefectures, which are painted very carefully. The distribution of these six key prefectures is Guangzhou Prefecture, Chaozhou Prefecture, Quanzhou Prefecture, Huizhou Prefecture, Zhaoqing Prefecture and Qiongzhou Prefecture.

Now, the army of the remnant Ming or pseudo-Ming is not only entrenched in Taiwan Island, but mainly operates on the territory of the above six prefectures.

"Emperor, the most gangster situation in Guangzhou Prefecture and Chaozhou Prefecture is now the most serious. Among the thirteen counties under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Prefecture, only the two counties in Qingyuan and Longmen have not been captured by the traitors, and the other eleven counties have all fallen.

Among the ten counties under Chaozhou, five counties including Jieyang, Chaoyang, Chenghai, Huilai and Puning were basically controlled by the bandit army.

Heshan County in Zhaoqing Prefecture, Haikousuo in Qiongzhou Prefecture, Jieshiwei in Huizhou Prefecture, and Jinjiang in Quanzhou Prefecture, were also controlled by the bandit army.

In addition, Qiongshan, the prefecture of Qiongzhou Prefecture, and Jinjiang, the prefecture of Quanzhou Prefecture, were all besieged by the bandits, and the situation was very critical."

The person who was explaining the "bandits" to Emperor Kangxi was Soetu, the Grand Secretary of the Baohe Palace. What he said was not completely right because he missed Xinhui County, a "Zhongqing County" that was still resisting the Ming army for the Qing Dynasty. This county located in Guangzhou Prefecture, although surrounded by the Ming army's territory (and one faces the sea), was still the land of the Qing Dynasty.

However, Shang Zhixin, who is now sticking to Xinhui, has been "loyal and fierce", so Xinhui will naturally be "been by Ming Dynasty".

Emperor Kangxi nodded, then turned his head to look at a fat prince who was almost fifty years old, and smiled and said, "Prince An, look at the military situation in Guangdong and Fujian?"

The fat man, known as Prince An, is the "treasure of housekeeping" of the Qing royal family today, Prince Shuo'an Yue Le, the fourth son of Prince Abatai of Raoyu.

Before, because of the nonsense before Shunzhi, he was surrendered to the throne, Yue Le was scattered for many years. However, now the Qing Dynasty is about to wither. No matter how wise Emperor Kangxi is, he has no military experience, and the ministers and servants in the court have never fought any war.

So Kangxi invited this "treasure of housekeeping". However, he was not sent to Guangdong, but asked him to serve as a counselor in the name of the Minister of Political Consultative Affairs.

At this moment, the fat face of Yue Leyue's chief adviser was a little entangled and his brows were frowning, as if he felt something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, that Zhu and the Lord occupied eleven counties in Guangzhou at once?" Yue Le frowned, "Is this too fast?"

"There are no eleven counties," Kangxi said in his heart: "There are ten counties. But it's a bit soon."

Yue Le said again: "It's not that it only occupied the county town, right?"

Controlling the county town does not mean controlling the eleven counties in the county, Guangzhou, is almost the entire Pearl River Delta! Not to mention anything else, the population alone is more than one million!

Moreover, it was the trade center and iron smelting center of China at that time, and it was also rich in sugar, salt, silk, cotton cloth, and various other handicraft products.

If this land was firmly controlled by Zhu Hetong, in time, a hundred thousand troops could be pulled out!

Tu Hai, the Grand Secretary of the Zhonghe Palace who was standing behind Kangxi, understood Yue Le's meaning and sighed: "I have controlled the town below! This matter is unfair. Prince Ping Nan Jing's method of governing Guangdong was too cruel and lost people's hearts. And that Zhu Hetang was particularly good at bewitching people's hearts."

Yue Le pondered for a while, and couldn't say that Shang Kexi had "dead". He had all the posthumous titles, and it was the word "Jing". What else could he say?

"Emperor," after pondering for a while, Yue Le finally spoke again, "Have you noticed that Can Ming's power is very scattered? In fact, they don't have much military force, but they are divided into Guangzhou, Chaozhou, Qiongzhou and Quanzhou. Although there are sea routes between the four places, it is not very convenient to march at sea after all, right?"

Kangxi sneered: "Of course they dispersed. Although they had a pseudo-Churchong in Jieyang, they were actually still a group of three pseudo-Churchong princes and a group of pseudo-Yanping Prince's Mansion. Chen Shangchuan, who is now attacking Qiongzhou, is another small hill. Each sect and sect are all formed, and cannot respond at all."

"The emperor is wise!" Yue Le first praised Kangxi, and then said, "I think that the traitors in Chaozhou, Quanzhou and Qiongzhou are not worth worrying about. Only the traitors in Guangzhou are the biggest concern. If we can concentrate our troops to eliminate all the traitors in Guangzhou, then the traitors in Chao, Quan and Qiong will not last long."

"It makes sense!" Emperor Kangxi nodded repeatedly.

Yue Le is Yue Le, and he hit the nail on the head in just a few words.

"Prince An," Kangxi asked again, "In your opinion, how should we eliminate the thieves in Guangzhou?"

Yue Le thought for a while, "Your Majesty, I think that the terrain of Guangzhou connects the rivers and the seas, and is a place where rivers and seas gather. So if you want to get Guangzhou, you still have to have a little naval army. If you can train a naval army on the Xijiang River and cooperate with the Guangxi soldiers of Dingnan Gege, you should be able to advance twice the result with half the effort.

In addition, it will take some days to form a navy. Before that, the court should still fight against the thieves in the people of Guangdong."

Kangxi nodded again, "Prince An said very well. He is a specialist in establishing a navy. He can let Shi Lang go to establish the Xijiang navy Tuhai, and Xuan Shi Lang and Geng Jingzhong enter the court together."

"Slaves receive the order."

"As for people's hearts, are there any tricks to win over people's hearts?"

"This" Tu Hai thought about it and really thought of a solution for him, "Your Majesty, the Han people like to take the exam to be officials the most. If the court could hold a provincial examination in Guangdong, give more fame and honor to the juren, and give more small officials to the scholars who passed the imperial examination. The hearts of the scholars in Guangdong will naturally return to the court."

"Okay!" Emperor Kangxi smiled, "Attack the heart first, and attack the city first, I must attack the heart first, and then attack the city, and defeat the traitors in Guangzhou in one fell swoop!"

"The emperor is wise!"

Tuhai and Yue Le quickly gave Emperor Kangxi the high hat of "Saintly Ming".

Kangxi smiled and said to Tuhai: "Tuhai, the Guangdong Admiral Xue Zhang, you have to mention him. There is some trouble, he has to solve it!"
