When Kangxi thought of really fighting with Wu Sangui, he still felt a little false in his heart. So he looked at the good slave Wang Fuchen and asked, "Wang Fuchen, you have been the general under Wu Sangui for several years, and you have also conquered Myanmar with him and killed Yongli. You should know the reality of the thief army, right?"

"What do you mean to kill Yongli with him?" Wang Fuchen was so guilty of being praised by Kangxi's words!

However, "Liu Lu Bu" is still good at concealing his panic. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Long live, I really know the foundation of the old thief Wu. Before the rebellion, the old thief Wu had fifty-three flag soldiers, as well as the green camps of four towns and ten battalions. There were more than 32,000 soldiers on the books, but in fact the troops were more than a little more. Because the old thief under the vassal of Wu had a large population of flag slaves, the old thief assigned them land after guarding Yunnan, so that they could learn from the methods of the Ming Dynasty military households and the Sui and Tang Dynasty soldiers, serving the people in peacetime and soldiers in wartime.

The bandits under the Yongli pseudo-Emperor surrendered to the old thief one after another. The old thief selected the elite troops to form a new army in the tenth battalion. However, the rest were not disbanded, and the land was also divided into the people, and the troops were included.

The slave secretly investigated and found that if something happened, the old thief could mobilize the strength between 70,000 and 80,000. These people are the old thief's capital!"

"There are 70,000 or 80,000." Kangxi was thinking in his mind that Wu Sangui might be carrying the troops across the river.

This is Wang Fuchen who continued: "In addition to these old capitals, there are many green camp soldiers with rebels in Guizhou, Sichuan and Hunan. The slaves are estimated to be less than 20,000 or 30,000. The total force of such an old thief should be about 100,000!"

"100,000?" Kangxi took a breath and said to himself: "The old thief has a lot of soldiers! I have a little fewer heavenly soldiers."

While talking, Wang Fuchen was also looking at Emperor Kangxi and found a trace of worry slipping across Emperor Kangxi's face.

Mingzhu, the Minister of War, also found that Kangxi's face was a little ugly, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Long live, Wu Ni now has a lot of territory. Although Yunnan and Guizhou are in the rear, it is impossible for him to leave no troops. If that is the case, the chieftains of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces should raise an army to cause trouble. The Ministry of War estimates that Wu Sangui will leave at least 10,000 troops in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.

Recently, the governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi, Mo Luo, a great scholar in Wuying Hall, reported that Wu Ni had sent his brave general Wang Pingfan to lead more than 10,000 troops into Sichuan to support Zheng Jiaolin, Tan Hong, Wu Zhimao and other bandits to resist the heavenly soldiers.

Since Wu Ni started his army, he has ordered the three armies with the pseudo-official official who presided over the world's military commander. This official was not granted by the third prince of the pseudo-Church in Guangdong. Moreover, the year name used by Wu Ni was in the 46th year of Chongzhen, while the third prince of the pseudo-Church used the year name of the Dingwang Jianguo. It can be seen that the two thieves are not one! Wu Sangui had to use at least more than 10,000 troops to prevent the counterfeiting of the third prince of the Zhu.

In addition, the three prefectures of Yuezhou, Changsha and Hengzhou are facing Hubei and Jiangxi, and Wu Sangui has left at least 20,000 direct troops in the three prefectures.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to cross the river in 50,000 of his 100,000 soldiers, and the maximum number of people who can cross the river is only 50,000."

Fifty thousand is not much!

Emperor Kangxi was still a little worried.

These days, he has sent out a lot of Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers.

Yue Le, Jieshu, Leerjin, Molo, Tuhai and the five of them sent three thousand Eight Banners soldiers, totaling 15,000.

In addition, the four garrison generals, including General Shengjing, General Ningguta, General Jiangning, and General Xi'an, also had three, two thousand eight banner soldiers under their command, and one more was ten thousand.

Adding one of the above will be the 25,000 Eight Banners soldiers!

Now the number of Eight Banners soldiers is known to be 200,000, but in fact it is far from that many. Among them, there are only 50,000 and 60,000 in the Eight Banners, about 15,000 Mongolians, and more than 30,000 Han soldiers in the Eight Banners added one, and the total amount is only 100,000,000 or less than 110,000.

This number of troops is similar to that of Wu Sangui's current military strength. Although the Qing Dynasty still has about 200,000 Green Camp soldiers, these Green Camp soldiers are quite unreliable and have been rebelled a lot recently. The rest are between "rebellion and not rebellion".

Moreover, it is not only Wu Sangui's family who are fighting against the Qing Dynasty, but also Zhu San Prince!

The third prince Zhu may not have as many soldiers as Wu Sangui, but his combat effectiveness is definitely not inferior to that of him. Fortunately, the two thieves have their own ulterior motives, otherwise, the Qing Dynasty might have really finished it!

But even if we concentrate our troops to attack Wu Sangui, it seems not enough! The 110,000 Eight Banners soldiers deducted the 25,000 and left 15,000 to defend Beijing, and the maximum number of 70,000 can be used.

Seventy thousand to five thousand, the advantage is a bit small!

After thinking about it, Emperor Kangxi could not hide the worry on his face. At the same time, he said carefully: "Once Wu Sangui crosses the river, it means that his ambition is in the world and will inevitably act as an advance without retreat. Therefore, the battle of Jingzhou is related to the survival of the Qing Dynasty. It must not lose. We must concentrate our troops so that there is no danger. Today I want to discuss with you how many troops should be sent to Jingzhou and where should my imperial camp be placed?"

When they heard Kangxi's question, the group of grand scholars kneeling under him were a little stunned. Although they were usually very polite when they "talk about the Three Kingdoms", they also talked about military and national affairs one by one.

But now it's really going to play!

They are either Jinshi or pen-like, and they can’t fight!

The only one who is related to military background is Nalan Xingde, Amanalan Mingzhu. He is from the Lanling Guard, why would he be the Minister of the Ministry of War?

But the military experience of a Blue Peel Guard is not enough to defeat Wu Sangui!

Seeing that everyone below was frowning and not talking, Kangxi somehow thought of Oboi!

It’s really hard for the country to think of Oboi!

It would be great if Obai is still here now! The three Obai brothers, Zhuobutai, Obai and Murima, can all fight, but they are not ordinary, but they are particularly capable of fighting. From the charge at the last battle to the generals on one side, although they are a little domineering, they are reliable at critical moments!

If the three of them are still here, the third prince of Zhu in Guangdong has long been destroyed, and the old thief Wu Sangui dared not rebel, and the Qing Dynasty is even more peaceful! Moreover, the three of them are old men, even if they are domineering, they will not be domineering for a few years. It is really unwise to kill them.

Thinking of this, Kangxi actually sighed: "If Aobai is still there, what is Wu Sangui worth?"

"Your Majesty, what did you say?" Nalan Mingzhu didn't know what she remembered, and suddenly looked at Kangxi with a happy look on her face.

Kangxi was also stunned and blurted out: "Mingzhu, I said that if Obai is still there."

"The emperor is wise!"

Mingzhu kowtowed and bowed, which shocked Kangxi and said to himself: "Is Obai really not dead? How is this possible? I personally took the autopsy!"

"Emperor," said Mingzhu, "Although Oboi and Murima are not alive, their brother Zhuobutai is still there!"

Ah Kangxi also remembered that among the three Oboi brothers, one Zhuobutai was left without killing him. It was indeed wise!

Zhuobutai, the old guy, was a fierce man from Heilongjiang to Myanmar! The time when Wu Sangui was ambushed by Li Dingguo in Mopan Mountain was Zhuobutai who led his troops to arrive in time, which made the Qing army turn defeat into victory.

When Oboi fell, Zhuobutai also ate the melons. He was going to kill him, but the Empress Dowager said that he was spared only after he spoke. Last year, when Oboi rebelled, Kangxi saved Oboi's followers from guilt in order to calm the people. Zhuobutai was resigned and is now in a closed-door retirement!

Although he is in retirement, he is actually not too old. He is one year younger than Wu Sangui and has just celebrated his 60th birthday.

Since Wu Sangui can still rebel at this age, Zhuobutai, who is one year younger than him, can certainly come out to help the Qing court quell the rebellion.
