Emperor Kangxi certainly knew what Zhu Cijiong's real purpose was in establishing Dengzhou Third Prince City, Dengzhou Tianwang City or Dengzhou Free City!

However, because Kangxi had just experienced the "shame of the fall of Beijing" at that time, all the Eight Banners in Manchuria were clamoring to seek revenge from Burney, and no one cared about what happened in Dengzhou. Therefore, Kangxi did not dare to go against everyone's wishes and let it go.

Burni ignored it and sent troops to the state...

Moreover, Burni was indeed a great threat to the Qing Dynasty under the circumstances at that time. Because once Burni conquered the entire Monan Mongolia, Khalkha Mongolia and host Mongolia, then a unified Mongol Empire would come, and then Beijing

The cities of Shengjing and Shengjing were all under the attack of the Mongols, and Burney came to fight every now and then. Then wouldn’t the Qing Dynasty of Emperor Kangxi turn into a great empire?

Therefore, Kangxi at that time could only pretend not to know about the threat from Dengzhou and concentrate on dealing with Burni first.

Unexpectedly, Burni was so "smooth" that he did not confront Kangxi at all, and even placed his Khan's court far away on the Houtao grassland near Ningxia. Moreover, he also placed Khalkha Mongolia and Khovd

The grassland became his main direction of attack.

Although Kangxi had attacked him several times, this Burni was obviously better than the others in running away. His grandfather Lin Dan Batur could not compare with him at all! So he could easily escape every time.

.

Moreover, Kangxi was constrained by Zhu Heji and could not use his troops freely on the grassland. In the end, he had to accept the reality of "equally dividing Mongolia" with Burni. First, firmly control the dam on Mongolia East Road in South Mongolia.

On the grassland (Chahar Grassland) and the host Mongolia, they temporarily gave up their plans to regain the Monan Mongolian West Road (Hetao Grassland) and control the Khalkha Mongolia.

But when Emperor Kangxi stabilized the situation on the grassland and looked back at Dengzhou carefully, he found that Prince Zhu had already created a quite prosperous situation in Dengzhou, and he also seemed to be a bit impregnable.

Of course, Kangxi was fully aware of the dangers of Dengzhou. But at the same time, he also knew that it would be quite difficult to attack Dengzhou, which had built a solid defense system and was backed by the sea. Especially since the Ming Dynasty who occupied Dengzhou also had

Overwhelming sea power.

Therefore, in the past two or three years, Kangxi could only adopt an appeasement policy towards Dengzhou - although appeasement would lay the seeds of trouble for the future, it was better than defeating Dengzhou again and again!

Because every defeat would consume Kangxi's little remaining prestige. Once his prestige was exhausted, Kangxi would not be able to wait for Zhu Heji to kill him, so he would have to let his own people kill him.

In recent years, the reason why Kangxi tried every means to extract money from the Han and Koreans to satisfy the greed of the old and new Eight Banners, and at the same time also tried to win over the Han officials by supporting Confucianism and establishing a system of drinking poison to quench thirst, is it not because he lost the war and suffered the consequences.

There are too many, so the prestige is almost gone?

Now he has to coax the people below him to live their lives!

Kangxi had already felt that the people below him were becoming more and more disrespectful towards him as the emperor. Everyone was making small calculations and uniting the party.

Those who had soldiers formed cliques in the ranks, trying to take the military power belonging to the imperial court into their own hands... When Kangxi granted land to the old and new Eight Banners soldiers below, this kind of

The signs of uniting with the Party in the military are particularly prominent!

In the New Eight Banners Army, those ministers in charge of military affairs (chiefs of a new army under a certain banner) or Dutong of the New Army (chiefs of a certain mountain in the new army) who control a certain Gushan force will try their best to control all the troops under their command.

The counselors and their subordinates' land granting areas are concentrated together. And those counselors want to gather the subordinate leaders together. The subordinate leaders also have the same idea, and they also want to gather the flag men under them.

Hug a group.

Although Kangxi also knew this method, sooner or later the new Eight Banners Army would become the same as the Eight Banners soldiers when Emperor Taizong just took over the throne of Jinhan... They only recognized their respective banner leaders (now unified ministers)

, don’t really listen to what the Khan says.

However, in order to win over the ministers who were in charge of the army, Kangxi was in charge of the generals, counselors, and assistants. At the same time, in order to facilitate mobilization and assembly and reduce the conflicts between the various banners, Kangxi had to follow their wishes and unite the three thousand people around Beijing.

Ten thousand acres of land and several million acres of land around Shengjing were allocated to the twenty-four Gushan under the Eight Banners New Army - according to the latest military system, each Gushan of the Eight Banners New Army has 10,000 households. General mobilization

Under certain circumstances, 10,000 people can be mobilized.

Although through this series of concessions and delegation of power, Kangxi temporarily stabilized the position of the Qing Dynasty. But he also knew that if he wanted to truly stabilize his situation and restore his declining prestige, he had to fight a battle that would convince the people below him.

A convincing victory.

This victory cannot be found from the slippery "Genghis Running Khan", but can only be found from the Ming Dynasty.

Because "Genghis Runaway Khan" cannot be caught at all. He is a "runaway Khan" to begin with. Even if Kangxi drove him away, it would not be considered a victory... Moreover, as long as the Qing troops withdraw, this runaway Khan will be killed.

Khan runs back again!

Therefore, the goal Kangxi found for himself to establish his authority and make a comeback was Dengzhou!

In order to successfully capture Dengzhou, especially in order to enable his Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers to capture the outer city of Dengzhou at a relatively small cost, Kangxi not only joined forces with Yue Le, Tu Hai, Chang Ning, Ba Hai, Fei Yanggu, Mingzhu, and Suo'e.

Figure, Tong Guogang and other Manchurian confidants formulated a plan to raid Dengzhou, and early sent people from Confucianism and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Dengzhou to act as internal agents.

Moreover, the members of this group should not know the existence of the other party, so that they can avoid ruining the overall situation if one of them is captured by the Jin Yiwei from the Ming Dynasty.

Just when Li Sixing, Monk Yishi and others were rejoicing because Zhu Heji, Da Boling and the tens of thousands of troops led by them marched into the Dengzhou Commercial Port, in the Dengzhou Commercial Port, there was a small red building near the harbor.

Inside, Kangxi's two most trusted confidants, Cao Xi and Cao Yin, were hiding behind a window in a small building, holding a telescope.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! That Cao Xi seemed to have seen something good, and he almost cried out, "Tsk, tsk, tsk... If this person is caught and becomes a n mother, what a fucking person

It can hold up to three or five!”

Of course Cao Yin next to him knew what his old man saw. He was so lucky, otherwise he wouldn't have married his mother. Without her mother's milk... the Cao family wouldn't be as rich as they are today.

!

He just smiled bitterly and said: "Amma, are you overthinking? That Da Bo Ling has committed a heinous crime. If he is caught, he will definitely be executed in Ling Chi. How can he enter the palace and become a nanny?"

"If you want to be executed in Ling Chi, you have to be interrogated by our sticky pole first!" Cao Xi was still joking with his son.

"Amma! Can you be serious? We are doing big things for the emperor!"

"I know, I know..."

As he spoke, Cao Xi put down his telescope with a smile, then quickly walked to the other window of the small building, pushed open the window, and faced the salty sea breeze.

Cao Xi raised his telescope again and looked into the harbor of Dengzhou Commercial Port. He saw that the bay under the setting sun was filled with two to three hundred sand boats of different sizes and a small number of bird boats and lucky boats.

Some of them are immediately recognizable as warships of the Dengzhou Navy - these warships are equipped with oars and sails, and six or four rocket launchers are installed on the bow and stern!

Some are merchant ships traveling between Shanghai - Huai'an - Dengzhou - Tianjin. Because the water on the Jiangbei coastline is very shallow, ships with pointed bottoms can easily run aground or be overturned by rolling waves if they sail close to the coast.

Most of the maritime merchant ships heading north from Shanghai are flat-bottomed sand boats.

Of course, it's not that pointy-bottomed boats can't come to Beiyang, but they can't go along the coast and have to stay away from the coastline to ensure safety. This creates difficulties for sea-going ships to navigate.

Now, the ships in Dengzhou Bay include both flat-bottomed and pointed-bottomed ships. There are both military ships and merchant ships. Apparently, they have tried their best to collect them.

Cao Xi watched for a while longer. At this time, Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers who had arrived at the dock began to board the ship. In addition, some Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers drove into the coastal defense fortress next to Dengzhou Commercial Port, and seemed to be preparing to temporarily station there.

.

The "Big Wave Ling" boarded a large sand ship carrying two to three thousand stone, and it seemed that it would be the first batch to cross the sea.

Cao Xi turned back to look at his son Cao Yin, his expression had become extremely serious, and he said word by word: "Da Bo Ling has boarded the ship... It seems that Zhu Heji is going to lead his army across the sea! The Qing Dynasty has turned around.

The opportunity has come.

Son, you hurry out of Dengzhou City and inform Prince An... Tell Prince that Cao has led the dead men into Dengzhou City, and you will risk your life to capture a city for him.
