Chapter 322 Kangxi doesn't cry, it's Wu Sangui's trick! (Seeking a monthly ticket
Kangxi really cried!
It was not that I cried happily when I saw the unequal treaty, but that I was "angry" and cried by the contents of the treaty.
What are the good conditions in the unequal treaty? Of course they are all extremely harsh. Oh, at least in the eyes of the vast majority of servants who love the Qing Dynasty, that is extremely harsh. So Kangxi finished reading the text of the treaty in front of his ministers, and burst into tears on the spot.
"This, Wu Sangui is too damaging to him. He actually wants me to admit that the Qing Dynasty had defeated him. The Qing Dynasty did not abide by the agreement to use the army to help suppress the Qing Dynasty and forced him to shave his hair and surrender to the Qing Dynasty! My Qing Dynasty has the righteousness of the world, which is rare in all dynasties. If I signed this agreement, wouldn't I believe that the Qing Dynasty broke the agreement and seized the country?"
There is a reason why Kangxi and Wu Sangui are both confused about this matter, because this treaty is not a "peace treaty" or a "arm battle treaty", but an agreement to exchange prisoners and territory.
Wu Sangui took the condition of revoking the Qing army to evacuate and release the captured Eight Banners soldiers and thousands of captive slaves and thousands of coated slaves on the Three Banners in exchange for Emperor Kangxi to release Wu Shilin and peacefully transfer it to the territory of Xiangyang, Hanyang and Wuchang, as well as all the people and industries on the territory. Even Emperor Kangxi's army was not allowed to plunder the people, and he had to leave a certain amount of food for Wu Sangui's army.
After this exchange is completed, the war between Wu Sangui and the Qing Dynasty has to continue!
For such a treaty, Kangxi had to admit that "the Qing Dynasty broke the contract and seize the country" was indeed a big loss. Once Kangxi admitted that the "breaking the contract and seize the country", it would be equivalent to handing over the feudal principles to Wu Sangui.
Those ministers with heavy troops who turned against Wu Sangui and Zhu Sanzi would be justified.
It’s not that they were shameless to be the ministers of 23456, but that they were too young back then and didn’t know how cunning the Tartars were, and they were deceived into being innocent by the Tartars.
Of course, it was the Qing Dynasty who lost money, not Kangxi himself!
Kangxi understood this truth, and of course the ministers below also understood it, so they all knelt down for Kangxi, and then knelt down and found a way for the "Saint Lord Ma Yan".
"Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself! Your body is the foundation of my Qing Dynasty!"
"Your Majesty, don't call Wu Sangui the rebellious minister who was so angry that he would be so angry that he would really fall into Wu Sangui, Zhu and the like."
"The emperor stays with the green mountains, and is not afraid of not burning firewood. As long as you can go to Jiangning and have the money from Jiangnan, are you still afraid that you can't regroup?"
"Your Majesty, don't shed tears. It's Wu Sangui who should shed tears now, because he has already been defeated by the emperor's plan!"
The person who said that Wu Sangui was trapped was of course Kang Mazi's best tricks, and he used the "low imitation of Zhou Gongjin" Zhou Peigong, who had "defun" Fuquan's head.
Of course, Kangxi still trusted Zhou Peigong very much because Zhou Peigong's "sedition of land cemetery" had been successful!
So now that he heard another plan, he certainly stopped crying, but looked at Zhou Peigong with a bright look, full of expectations!
"Emperor," Zhou Peigong said with his butt, "What is Wu Sangui's intention to sign this contract with us? That's not all passers-by know? He wants you to go to Jiangnan, use Jiangnan's money to regroup and fight with the Zhu family again! The wishful thinking is to let us and the Zhu family suffer both losses, so he can reap the benefits of the fisherman. But how can he think so well?
We now occupy Wuchang Prefecture and Hanyang Prefecture, which actually separates the territory of Wu Sangui and Zhu family. Although both of them are bordered in Hunan and Jiangxi, the transportation in those places remains unchanged and is not a key place that both sides must compete for.
Now Wu Sangui's focus is in Hubei, which is clearly intended to take the hometown of fish and rice in Jianghan as his home, and at the same time, the large plain around Dongting Lake is the backyard. Only in this way can he eat, drink, and have a population, and the foundation of the country is established. Changsha and Hengzhou are just courtyard walls. It is not fatal to be snatched away by Zhu and Guan, and Zhu and Guan are not very meaningful to grab these two palaces.
Similarly, the Zhu family is Guangzhou, Chaozhou, Huizhou, and Zhaoqing. These territories are all located in a corner, and Wu Sangui is not able to take action now. It is not interesting to fight Jiangxi from Yuanzhou and Ji'an, and the road is difficult to walk, and they can't eat big meats like Nanchang, Jiujiang, and Raozhou at once.
But once we give Wuchang and Hanyang to Wu Sangui, the situation between the Wu and Zhu families will change drastically. After Wu Sangui takes Wuchang, Hanyang, the troops will be directly aimed at Jiujiang Prefecture. Once he takes Jiujiang, the Zhu family will not be able to get involved in the Yangtze River. Although he can still go north by sea, the sea boat and river boat are not the same after all, and it is not easy to use to enter the river.
Moreover, they may have to let Wu Sangui get a bargain when they are both in trouble and steal Jiangning City!
Now Wu Sangui is old and Wu Yingxiong lacks talent. At most, he is a master of success. If Wu Sangui is on the verge of three points, the world in the future will either return to our Qing Dynasty or be in the Northern and Southern Ming Dynasty. By then, the Wu family will be dead.
Therefore, the gains and losses of Jiujiang are directly related to the survival of the Wu and Zhu families.”
Zhou Peigong's words were already a bit "crossing the line". He assumed that Kangxi could not defeat Wu Sangui who was walking down the river or Zhu Hetong who advanced from two groups.
"Okay!" Emperor Kangxi slapped the table, "That's so good!" He then frowned again, "But if Wu Sangui wants to go north from Xiangyang and attack the capital, wouldn't it matter if the gains and losses of Jiujiang be irrelevant?"
Kangxi was more "dared to think" than Zhou Peigong. He had already thought about what the Qing Dynasty was going to play!
Everyone dared not take on this topic, and the scene became a little cold for a moment.
"Emperor," Hong Shiming, the son of Hong Chengchou, suddenly interrupted, "The slave met Kong Sizhen in Wu Yingxiong's mansion."
Kangxi didn't understand what Hong Shiming meant and asked, "Have you seen Sun Yanling?"
"I didn't see you," said Hong Shiming. "I heard that Sun Yanling, under the guidance of Wu Yingxiong, got the job of the governor of Hunan and went to Changsha happily to take office."
"So did Sun Yanling really surrender to Wu Sangui?" Kangxi asked while thinking: "Do I really wronged Geng Jingzhong?"
"It should be," said Hong Shiming. "The slave also found it incredible. His wife was generous with Wu Yingxiong. He also had the face to surrender to Wu, and he was not afraid of others pointing fingers behind his back."
"Then Kong Sizhen" Kangxi remembered at this time. Kong Sizhen was sent by his grandmother to Wu Sangui. "Which end is she from now?"
"Of course she is from Wu Yingxiong," Hong Shiming replied, "but as the Empress Dowager said, the Wu family and the Qing Dynasty were not slaves who could not coexist, and suggested that the emperor compile a letter and explain this truth to Kong Sizhen. When the slave and Wang Shirong returned to Jingzhou, they secretly handed the letter to Kong Sizhen. With her provoking the discord, the Wu and Zhu families turned against each other sooner or later!"
"Okay!" Kangxi nodded and smiled, "I asked Wu Shilin to bring him another generous gift for Kong Sizhen, which is my congratulations to her and Wu Yingxiong. Kong Sizhen is the goddaughter of the Empress Dowager and my godaut. She and Wu Yingxiong are talented and beautiful, so we have to congratulate you well!"
"The emperor is wise!"
Hong Shiming really thought that Emperor Kangxi was so wise that he could use it. His aunt and mistress could be an excuse for him to give gifts!
This is the style that the king in troubled times should have!
Kangxi then asked Zhou Peigong again: "Peigong, how about I set off south to Wuchang tomorrow?"
"I'm afraid it's too late!" Zhou Peigong's answer made Kangxi tremble.
"Why is it too late?" Kangxi asked, "Has Zhu Heying not yet reached Jiujiang Prefecture?"
Zhou Pei said righteously: "Your Majesty, the Jiangxi Military Daily we learned about are all slaves who were a few days later. He has now entered Jiujiang Prefecture!"
"Then, what should I do?"
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious, I have a way." Zhou Peigong was calm and composed.
"Tell me quickly" how could Kangxi be in no hurry?
"Emperor," Zhou Peigong said, "I suggest that you immediately issue an order to Zhuobutai, Tuhai, and Shi Lang to bring troops on the ship to Jiangnan immediately. Zhu Heying must have sent a detailed task to Wuchang, and maybe he also found out about your secret agreement with Wu Sangui. After you arrive in Wuchang, the soldiers of Wuchang must be evacuated immediately. At the same time, let this news be sent to Zhu Heying to see if he will compete with Wu Sangui for Wuchang?"
"What should I do?" Kangxi asked with a numb face.
