Chapter 374 Yan Baoyi, good Baoyi
With a bang, the bookcase in the south study room of Wuying Palace fell to the ground. The eunuchs and maids standing around were so frightened that they fell to the ground. Duolong, the internal minister who was guarding the door, rushed in in a panic and saw that Kangxi was safe and sound.
Kong Sizhen didn't "explode" either, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
He had personally searched Kong Sizhen's body just now. He searched it up and down... He really didn't find any hidden thunder!
So when he heard the "bang", he was frightened. He thought he didn't check carefully and let Kong Sizhen use the thunder to blow up the Mazi Emperor.
Seeing that the emperor was okay and that Kong Sizhen didn't explode, Duolong walked out backwards and continued to show the emperor the door.
In the Hall of Wuying, a group of bachelors who had just been awarded the title of Minister of the South Study were all lying on the ground, not daring to raise their heads. Only Kong Sizhen was the only one who knelt straight on Zhang Ruofu's futon without apologizing.
Instead, he smiled and said to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... why are you angry? President Wu said that he would wait and see what happens before the victory of the Battle of Anqing is determined. Isn't it a good thing? Your Majesty, you are now
Now you can concentrate all your efforts on fighting Zhu Heji in Anqing! Your Majesty, don’t you think you can’t defeat Zhu Heji in Anqing?”
"How can it be impossible to defeat?" Kangxi's face was pockmarked and livid, "My new Eight Banners Army has 200,000 soldiers, strong soldiers and horses, and well-equipped armor... If Zhu Heji does not come to invade Anqing, when the autumn weather is clear, I will
I will personally lead the army to recapture Jiangxi!"
Kangxi was not bragging. He really had a plan to use his army to regain Jiangxi. Although he had never been to Jiangxi, he left his "head" in Jiangxi! He had to go and get it back, otherwise his back would be hardened.
Can't get up!
Not to mention anything else, he has not dared to kill Huang Zongxi until now, and let him enjoy the luxury in the mansion in Wuyi Lane.
Is it possible to put this matter aside before he is "beheaded" by Zhu Heji? Impossible!
Killed all ten Huang Zongxi!
But now, every time Kangxi wanted to kill Huang Zongxi, he would have many worries in his heart. He was afraid that after killing Huang Zongxi, there would be chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, and Zhu Heji would take the opportunity to invade and kill him!
The matter of being "decapitated" by Zhu Heji has now become a heartache for him. If it is not cured, a generation of "holy masters" may really become the Qingshun sect.
"But Wu Sangui wouldn't deceive me?" Emperor Kangxi said with a gloomy face, "He and Zhu Heji published the "Book to the Heroes of the World" and "The Prosecution of Pursuit of the Qing Dynasty"... Who said who entered Beijing first?
Weijun! Doesn’t he want to break into Beijing before Zhu Heji?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty," Kong Sizhen said with a smile, "President Wu feels that the Battle of Anqing is still going to happen. So he has made two preparations. If the Emperor wins in Anqing, then he will personally lead the army eastward along the Yangtze River...
..”
"Go east to attack Jiangxi?" Emperor Kangxi asked hurriedly.
"Fight Anqing and go to Jiangnan!" Kong Sizhen said.
"Old thief!" Kangxi was furious.
Kong Sizhen said with a smile: "If...if the emperor is defeated, he will send his army north to capture the Central Plains and enter Beijing."
"I can't be defeated!" Kangxi roared, but then his pockmarked face returned to calm, and he looked at Kong Sizhen coldly, "Gege, these words you said were all what Wu Yingxiong asked you to say?"
Kong Sizhen said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are really good at predicting events. These words were indeed spoken by Wu Yingxiong's slave...but I am determined not to be wrong."
"I know!" Kangxi looked at Kong Sizhen, "Tell me the truth, where are you now?"
Kong Sizhen smiled and said: "You are the enemy of the Zhu family, and Wu Yingxiong is also the enemy of the Zhu family!"
"I know!" Kangxi turned around and said to Mr. Gui, who was still kneeling on the ground, "Xiao Guizi, please send Gege out of the city!"
"嗻!"
Young Guizi's father-in-law quickly stood up, bowed to Kong Sizhen, and whispered: "Gege, please."
Kong Sizhen stood up, paid a blessing ceremony to Kangxi, then turned around and followed Xiao Guizi to leave the Wuying Hall of the Forbidden City in Nanjing.
Seeing Kong Sizhen walking out, Emperor Kangxi sighed and said: "Okay, don't lie down on the ground... I still need to discuss things with you! Come here and help me hold the table up."
"嗻......"
After a sound of approval, the discussion in Wuying Hall began again.
Emperor Kangxi asked: "What do you think? Is that old thief Wu Sangui really planning to watch the fun this time?"
"Your Majesty," Zhuo Butai said, "based on my servant's understanding of Wu Sangui, I'm afraid he will really make Zhu Heji and us both suffer losses this time."
Tu Hai also said: "Your Majesty, there is no reason for Wu Sangui to help Zhu Heji fight with us...after all, these three points will eventually be unified!"
Emperor Kangxi frowned.
He was a little afraid of hearing the words "three points to unify", because he knew that even if he tried his best to win the battle of Anqing, he would definitely suffer heavy losses. I am not optimistic about whether he can withstand Wu Sangui's second wave!
This "three points unified into one" is probably either the Ming Dynasty or the Zhou Dynasty!
"Can Anqing win?" Kangxi asked again.
"able!"
“The chances of winning are great!”
"Your Majesty, this servant also thinks he can win!"
"Your Majesty, you will definitely win this time!"
It was rare for the four most capable ministers of Nanshufang, including Tu Hai, Zhuo Butai, Wang Fuchen and Ba Hai, to give unanimous opinions.
"Talk about it." Kangxi also became more enthusiastic.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, there are three things that must be won in the battle of Anqing. First, the terrain must win! The terrain of Anqing has two characteristics: it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is conducive to the movement of the cavalry. It is extremely easy for our army to defend Anqing and to assist Anqing.
Second, the Navy must win! The Battle of Anqing must be a land and water battle. The Puppet Ming Dynasty must win on both land and water, but the Puppet Ming Navy is not as good as ours after all. Our Navy has many large ships, many artillery, and our sailors are also well-trained.
, was trained by Shi Lang himself, and is definitely better than the fake sailors.
Third, we must win with numbers! This time, because the navy of the Dutch East India Company is willing to be hired by the court to help us guard Ningbo Haikou, the court can gather the entire Eight Banners New Army for the Battle of Anqing...
So we’re sure to win!”
Definitely win again!
Kangxi also heard someone say the same thing last time...
"Okay!" Emperor Kangxi nodded solemnly, "This time I still want to lead the expedition in person... I will personally go to the Chuzhou front line to supervise the battle!"
Well, Zhu Heji attacked Anqing Prefecture, Kangxi was in Chuzhou... and there was Luzhou Prefecture in between!
If he loses his head again, then Zhu Heyi must have "cultivated immortality" - he can use flying swords!
Kangxi paused and asked again: "Who will go to Anqing Mansion to defend the city?"
"I am willing to go!" Zhuo Butai immediately asked, "I am willing to live or die with Anqing!"
"Okay!" Kangxi said, "Where are the reinforcements?"
"Returning to the emperor," Zhuo Butai said, "the reinforcements on land will be placed in Luzhou, and the reinforcements on the water will be placed in Guichi."
"How many troops will be used?"
Zhuo Butai replied: "In a battle that will overwhelm the country, we should use the troops that will overwhelm the country...the more the better!"
"Okay!" Kangxi gritted his teeth, "I will raise an army that will overwhelm the country and fight with Zhu Heji in Anqing!"
...
"Your Majesty, Wu Sangui is indeed a veteran who has served in the military all his life... The words he said hit the point!"
Nanchang, Jianguo Mansion (formerly Prince Ning's Mansion), Cunxin Hall.
Zhuge Sanhe, who stayed in Nanchang and was busy with a lot of things in the Military Advisor's Office, had just listened to Zhu Heji's wholesale account of the Battle of Anqing from Wu Sangui, and immediately expressed his agreement.
I can’t accept it!
Wu Sangui's military command ability is still much stronger than that of Zhu Heji, Zhuge San and others... Although Zhu Heji may defeat Wu Sangui with his superiority in "magic".
Zhu Heji asked Zhuge Sanhe: "Commander, how do you want to fight?"
"We can't rush, we can only fight slowly." Zhuge Sanhe looked at a map on the conference table, "There are many strongholds outside Anqing. They have to be removed one by one, and then set up defense lines to block reinforcements, and finally besiege the city.
