Not long after Galdan, a self-righteous fool, left the south study room of the "Kangxi Khan" with great satisfaction, Kong Shenggong led Yue Le, Jieshu, Xiong Cilu, Suo'etu, Gabra, Tong Guogang, and others.

Prince Horqin's team and Horqin County Prince Biliketu and others who had just arrived at Xingqing Mansion entered the South Study Room.

Except for the Holy Duke Regent, the other eight people are all ministers of the Council of Ministers!

The real Kangxi can no longer build a South Study Room similar to that of the Military Aircraft Department... He has been defeated again and again, and he no longer has that kind of authority, so he can only settle for the second best or even the third best, and set up the political affairs king

The meeting of ministers. The main participants in this meeting of kings and ministers were three forces. One was the New Eight Banners, Yue Le, Jieshu, Suo'etu, Gabra, and Tong Guogang, each representing one banner, and Kangxi himself represented the three upper banners.

The second is Confucianism, represented by the Regent Shenggong and Xiong Cilu; the third is Mongolia, the outer Mongolian vassal, who traveled two thousand miles with Horqin tribesmen to Prince Bandi of Horqin and King Bilik of Horqin County in Tumut River.

The two people in the picture represent Mongolia, a foreign vassal that was still loyal to the Qing Dynasty.

If we extend it further, this is a meeting of kings and ministers where the leaders of banner people, Han people, and Mongolians discuss government affairs together.

A group of government officials, led by the regent Kong Shenggong, bowed to Emperor Kangxi, and then took their seats separately - now there are fewer kowtows on Kangxi's side. Kong Shenggong, the team, and Biliktu all have

Logically speaking, a powerful military leader can "praise and worship without fame, enter the court without following, and go to the palace with swords and shoes." Now it is very polite to just hold the top position without kowtow.

However, Kong Shenggong, Bendi, and Biliketu did not kowtow and still had seats. However, Yue Le, Jieshu, Suo'etu, Gabula, and Tong Guogang wanted to kowtow, which shows that the status of the bannermen is lower than that of others.

Han Chinese and Mongolians.

So Kangxi simply asked them to follow him, bowed and bowed together, and also gave them seats.

However, Kangxi felt really uncomfortable when he saw these regents who were "equal" to him and discussed politics!

He has been the emperor since he was a child. In his memory, when others talked to him, he was half a little shorter. Now he is better, and he is on equal footing... But he feels bad in his heart, and he still has to keep his face up, but he can't let people know that.

"I feel bitter in my heart."

Thinking of this, a proud smile burst out on Kangxi's face: "Galdan has agreed to borrow the road, and is also willing to take over our territory in Khalkha and Hetao grasslands. Now we can free our hands and go west."

In!"

"This is great!"

"Thank God......"

"Finally there is a way to survive!"

"Ancestors bless..."

After hearing Kangxi's words, the group of people discussing politics below all showed happy expressions - now they could finally escape and ascend to heaven!

What Emperor Kangxi implemented after the Battle of Huguang and the Battle of Nanyang-Xinye was a strategic total retreat, which meant giving up territory, preserving strength, and then using the preserved strength to conquer new territories.

This is why he did not retreat to his hometown in the northeast but to the northwest - retreating to the northeast will soon lead to nowhere!

The path to retreat to the northwest is wider. As long as they can pass through the Yerqiang Khanate controlled by Galdan and enter the Kazakh prairie, Kangxi's "low-sugar army" will be able to shake off immediately.

Because whether it is the Kazakh grassland or the Hezhong area in the south, they are all "sugar-free armies". They don't even have a few flintlock rifles, and they don't have good artillery. They still adopt very backward tactics and tactics. The infantry will not line up to shoot.

, the cavalry cannot wall charge, the infantry and artillery cannot coordinate well with the infantry and cavalry, and their infantry has a mess of hot and cold weapons, and the musketeers do not have bayonets... This kind of army is defeated by the Ming Dynasty.

The "low-sugar clearing troops" that have been trained by the "high-sugar army" for several years will definitely be a dead end!

For the current Qing Dynasty, the biggest danger is not to encounter strong enemies in the Kazakh grasslands or the Hezhong area, but to be caught between the Junggars and the Ming Dynasty. It cannot quickly start the Western Expedition, nor can it quickly pass through the areas that have just been ravaged by the Junggars.

Yeerqiang Khanate - This Yeerqiang Khanate has a large area but a small population. The settlements are very scattered. Most of the areas are grasslands, deserts and mountains. If the Junggar people do not allow the Qing soldiers to pass, they can just move along the way.

Just loot every residential area.

Therefore, whether Galdan is willing to borrow the road is the key to the success of the Qing Dynasty's Western Expedition!

As for this matter, if it were Galdan's father Batur and brother Sengge, they would probably not agree.

But Galdan was not only superstitious in religion, but also dreamed of becoming the Great Khan of Mongolia... He was simply the scapegoat given to the Qing Dynasty by God, no, he was the scapegoat!

Of course, the Qing Dynasty cannot just walk away after taking the blame. The Qing Dynasty is not mainly nomadic, and the food and grass that the Yeerqiang Khanate can provide is also limited, and it simply cannot afford hundreds of thousands or millions.

People pass through in one go.

Therefore, the Qing Dynasty could only move westward in batches, which required some people to go first and others to stay behind to hold down the battle.

Kangxi set his sights on the regent Shenggong Kong Yuqi, "Brother Shenggong, there are so many of us, it is impossible for us to all go to the west. Someone has to go first and someone behind..."

Kong Shenggong smiled and said: "Brother Taishang, I understand, why don't you go first and I will cover you!"

Wow, you are so easy to talk to!

Kangxi was stunned and couldn't believe his ears.

Kong Shenggong saw that Kangxi was a little dazed, and quickly added: "Brother Taishang, the rebels have now taken Shandong, Shanxi, Zhili, Henan, and Shaanxi. They will probably take a breather to digest."

If we can stabilize ourselves, they should not invade Gansu in one or two years. So I can stay in Xingqing Mansion for my brother, but...my brother's banner must still be upheld in Xingqing Mansion.

Otherwise, our own people will not be stable, and the traitors may take advantage of our own people's panic to invade."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Kangxi frowned, he already understood what Kong Shenggong meant - he wanted to give himself another clone!

Thinking of this, Kangxi murmured: "Now there is Chang Ning who is doing mischief in the Northeast under my banner..."

Xiong Cilu stood up at this time, took over the topic and said: "Your Majesty, since we have Chang Ning, what's the harm in getting one or two more clones? Besides, the information between the rebels and the Western Regions is not smooth, they will not be so

I soon learned that you have already entered the Western Region."

Kangxi nodded slightly, and what he said was right. There was no direct contact between the Ming Dynasty and the Western Regions, and it would probably take several years for them to find out.

Moreover, Xingqing Mansion is relatively remote, and it is easy to control the entry and exit of people. There should not be many spies from the Ming Dynasty going deep into it.

When Kong Shenggong saw that Kangxi seemed to agree to create another clone, he smiled and made a new request: "Brother Taishang, why don't you let the emperor stay in Xingqing Mansion... I will definitely assist him well for you, no.

It would put him in a little bit of danger."

This is blackmailing the emperor!

Kangxi immediately understood what Kong Shenggong was thinking! He was blackmailing the emperor to order the princes to imitate Cao Cao!

You are not Kong Shenggong at all, you are Prime Minister Cao!

However, Kangxi could not refuse Kong Shenggong's request... because only Kong Shenggong could stay in Xingqing Mansion and serve as the queen for him.

Fortunately, Kangxi had many sons... At worst, he would not want this Yinreng, and let his eldest brother Yinti take the throne in the future...

Thinking of this, Kangxi could only laugh a few times and said: "Okay, as Brother Shenggong has carefully considered, I will leave the emperor to your care... In addition, go find someone who looks like me.

Someone of about the same age came to pretend to be me and stay in Xingqing Mansion!"

He looked at the group of people discussing politics below, and then said: "This time I will follow the example of Yelu Dashi and go to the Western Regions to build the Qing Dynasty again. If I can succeed this time, you will be the heroes who will rebuild the Qing Dynasty. I will share the thousands of miles of the Western Region with you!"
