Kangxi suddenly woke up from his dream and found that he was not on Jingshan Mountain, but lying peacefully in the bedroom of the Jingzhao Palace.

Only then did he realize that he had had a strange dream, no, it was a nightmare! Kangxi immediately thought of several key factors that made people's hair stand on end - Jingshan, the Crooked Neck Tree and a loyal eunuch!

Isn't this the scene when Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself? How could he have such a dream? Could it be that he was thinking about it during the day and dreaming about it at night? Or... was it a warning from God?

Thinking of this, Kangxi suddenly broke into a cold sweat and murmured to himself: "I will never be the Chongzhen Emperor of the Qing Dynasty!"

"Long live Lord, what did you say?"

The voice of Little Guizi's father-in-law rang in Kangxi's ears again, and only then did Kangxi find that his most loyal eunuch was standing beside his bed.

"Oh, nothing, nothing..." Of course Kangxi would not tell Xiao Guizi such an ominous nightmare. He looked at the window paper again and found that the sun was already shining on it, "What time is it now?"

Isn’t it time to go to the South Study Room to discuss politics?”

Emperor Kangxi is recuperating these days, so he will naturally not attend the morning court, but the political affairs in the South Study Room must still be carried out...

"Going back to the Emperor," Little Guizi's father-in-law said with a smile on his face, "It's almost half time now... so the servants came to help the Emperor get up.

In addition, Duolong just sent a good news. Sticky Stick Department also sent a report to the servant that Zhu Heji has returned to the court."

As he spoke, Little Guizi's father-in-law handed the two memorials to Kangxi.

One of them was sent personally by Doron, the Chamberlain of the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamberlain of the Chamberlain sounds very big, but he is actually the "Minister of the Concierge". In addition to guarding the door, he is also responsible for sending and receiving letters.

The memorial sent by Duolong was sent by Tuhai, who led troops stationed in Xiangyang, and it was also a good news - although Xiangyang is now surrounded on all sides, the Ming army's encirclement is not tight, especially in the Han River

There are still relatively large loopholes outside Fancheng on the north bank. And the two Gushans who were besieged in Xiangyang were both elites. They were the Zhenghuangqi Gushan led by Tuhai himself and the one led by the veteran Namuturu Laita.

Zhengbai Banner is a solid mountain. There are elite Manchu cavalry under these two solid mountains. It is not difficult to break through the Ming army encirclement in the north of Fancheng and deliver the message.

Kangxi first picked up the memorial sent from Xiangyang and read it. This was a good report!

It turned out that three days ago, on September 26th, the Ming army besieging the city launched the first wave of fierce attacks on Xiangyang City. They first used long cannons with ammunition weighing 20 kilograms, and six-barreled rocket launchers.

The heavy firearms inside were bombarded for a full three hours, and then they sent out dead soldiers to cross the Xiangyang moat in light boats and launched an assault on the city. As a result, the Qing troops who boarded the Xiangyang city wall in time (they all went down to hide from the shells during the Ming army's bombardment)

) used flintlocks and cannons to defeat them and retreated, leaving as many as 300 corpses behind. Countless people retreated injured.

"Okay! Kill three hundred enemies. This is a great victory!" Emperor Kangxi, who had not tasted the sweetness of victory for a long time, couldn't help but cheer loudly after reading Tuhai's report, and his spirits suddenly recovered.

Then he took out the report on the stick and read it. The report on the stick reported that Zhu Heji held a grand military parade in Jianglingfu City, and then announced that the Ming Dynasty had successfully recovered Huguang, forcing Wu Yingxiong and Wu Guogui to

Surrender, and declare victory as a class teacher.

In addition, this report also described in detail that after completing the military parade, the troops participating in the military parade immediately drove to the Shashi Pier outside Jiangling City, boarded hundreds of large ships that had been waiting there, and finally

The scene of sailing eastward...

"Zhu Heji is gone... It seems that he also knows that Xiangyang is difficult to fight, and is ready to imitate the Mongols in using a long siege!" Kangxi just breathed a sigh of relief, but then his brows tightened again, "Xiao Guizi, wait here

I will change my clothes and ask all the ministers to wait in the South Study."

"嗻!"

...

When Emperor Kangxi walked briskly into the South Study, he was greeted by a relaxed atmosphere that he had not seen for a long time.

It seemed that the ministers had all heard the good news about the "Great Victory at Xiangyang" and the return of Master Zhu Heji to the court. They were all beaming with joy. They also had smiles on their faces when they saw Kangxi walking in and bowed to him three times and nine times.

"Ping Shen, Ping Shen." Emperor Kangxi's tone was also unusually relaxed. The young hero who "had everything under control" seemed to be back.

After sitting grandly on the throne, Emperor Kangxi glanced at the several ministers of the South Study Room below and found that there was one more person than usual, and this person was too long to kneel down.

Kangxi took a closer look and frowned suddenly. The kneeling person turned out to be Yue Le.

"Uncle Emperor, are you back?"

Yue Le kowtowed and said with tears: "Your Majesty, this slave is guilty!"

His sin is too great!

He led an army of 120,000 to fight the "Battle of Red Cliff", but instead of being regarded as Zhou Yu, he ended up similar to Cao Cao... The 120,000 army lost more than 70,000, and there were another 20,000

(not counting the 120,000 people) were surrounded by Zhuge Sanhe and could not get out of Xiangyang City.

The Qing Dynasty only had a total of 240,000 new Eight Banners!

But Kangxi could not punish Yue Le severely now, not because Yue Le was tricked by Wu Yingxiong, a "bear team member" whom Kangxi trusted. But because there were nearly 6,000 people in Zhenglan Banner Gushan under Yue Le's personal supervision.

... Fei Yanggu's secret agent arrived at Jingzhao Mansion seven days earlier than the defeated army led by Yue Le, and had already explained the situation.

In this battle of Wulin, three Gushan troops were wiped out, and the remaining eleven Gushan troops also suffered heavy losses. Among them, the two Gushan troops with the smallest losses were the troops led by Yue Le and Fei Yanggu. They fled to

In Gucheng County of Xiangyang Prefecture, the two Gushans had more than 6,000 troops, and they could still fight as long as they were replenished.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Since Yue Le's strength is still there, Kangxi does not dare to do anything to him.

However, the appearance still needs to be done.

Kangxi sighed: "Uncle Emperor, we are all one family... Now that the Qing Dynasty is facing a national crisis, we can't learn from the Chongzhen Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, and we must unite! Let's do this, I will cut you off.

The title and the minister in charge of the army, but the minister of the South Study Room will still be reserved for you. In addition, I will also reserve for him the new army commander of the Zhenglan Banner Middle Road in Seleng'e."

"Slave, thank you for your kindness." Yue Le breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed to Kangxi again, and then lay on the ground waiting for Kangxi to speak.

Kangxi looked at Yue Le and said, "Uncle Emperor, do you know about the battle situation in Xiangyang and the return of Master Zhu Heji to the court?"

"My slave already knows."

These two reports are not confidential and are copied to the ministers as usual.

"What do you think? How long can Xiangyang... be defended? Will Zhu Heji launch the Northern Expedition from the east after returning to the court?"

Yue Le thought for a while and said: "Reporting to the emperor, it is true that Xiangyang City's defenses are strong, but the reserves in Xiangyang City are not abundant. There is no problem in persisting for a year and a half. As time goes by, I'm afraid..."

Kangxi's brows furrowed again. He had never thought that Xiangyang would be surrounded, so he would not have stored enough military rations in the city for several years. Was the food currently in Xiangyang City left by Wu Yingxiong to supply Yue Le's army?

!

If you save money, you can only eat for a year at most. And what's worse is that the people in Xiangyang City are very smart and they all followed Wu Yingxiong to escape, so the trapped Qing soldiers couldn't eat human flesh unless they wanted to...

They eat the flesh of their own people!

In addition, will this Tuhai become "Tu Chengchou"? Although this Tuhai usually seems quite loyal, he has to die after all the hardships! It is so cold now, and the water in the moat of Xiangyang City is so cold. Moreover,

Tu Hai also has the record of surviving two dives without dying...

Thinking of this, Kangxi had already made up his mind, "Nothing will happen to Xiangyang, Tu Cheng... Tu Hai, the 20,000 troops led by Laita are the essence of our Manchuria, and there is no room for loss! I have made up my mind.
