Chapter 51: Crossing the River, Crossing the River
The growth of a person, or the growth of Kangxi into an emperor who is willing to take life and death, always requires a process. Although he was touched, it does not mean that he is compassionate, but that he is thinking about how to maintain his power and sit firmly on his throne.
.
From the outside, the Ming army is counterattacking and calculating, the sentiments of the people everywhere are fierce, and the Han people's revenge mentality has been aroused. Let alone half of the country, even the capital, there is no telling how long it can stay.
Including, Kangxi was only eleven or twelve years old, and the power was in the hands of the four assistants. Especially Aobai, who had to contain Bilong, and his power was already higher than that of the old and weak Sony, not to mention the power of a single person.
The lonely Suksaha is gone.
If the situation is stable, it would be okay for Kangxi to be a child emperor in the palace. Anyway, this is the world of his Aixinjueluo family. When he is old enough, he will be able to regain power. But this world is in turmoil, and it is getting worse.
, it is inevitable that Xiao Kangxi would not feel resentful and depressed.
Similar to all emperors, although Kangxi was young, he also received an imperial education and had his own ambitions. He also had the common characteristics of emperors, that is, the other ministers were incompetent, and only he was the most powerful.
"Your Majesty, it's getting cold, so you should go into the palace to rest!" Aunt Sumala came over and whispered to persuade.
Although she was born in a poor Mongolian family, Aunt Sumala was Xiaozhuang's maid. She entered the Manchu court with Xiaozhuang as a dowry. She was proficient in Mongolian and Manchu writing. She was trusted by Xiaozhuang and was Kangxi's first teacher. According to this
Due to her status, when others did not dare to step forward to offend him, she was often the one to resolve Xiao Kangxi's emotions.
Kangxi sighed softly, and accompanied by Aunt Sumala, he returned to the palace and sat on the throne, still frowning.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The turmoil is only temporary. The Qing Dynasty is still stable." Aunt Su Ma persuaded her against her will: "The Eight Banners are invincible in cavalry and shooting. The north is the place where they can show their strength. The Puppet Ming Army lacks cavalry. How can it be so?
Are they enemies of the Eight Banners?"
Kangxi waved his hand, waved away the left and right, and then said with a wry smile: "Sister Man, there is no need to comfort me. The current situation is different from the time when the puppet king Dingguo and others devastated Hunan and Guangdong, and it is also different from Zheng Ni's siege of Nanjing. Shandong is near Jifu, and people's hearts are in chaos.
It has spread all over the northern land, and even the Mongolian tribes want to wait and retreat. As for the invincibility of cavalry and archery, well, the pseudo-Ming army has sharp firearms and it is difficult to resist."
"The chaos in people's hearts may not be uncontrollable. The firearms are sharp, and our army can also be equipped with more equipment." Lagu Suma said: "The false Ming Dynasty is the easiest to cause chaos from within. Do you know that the internal strife of the three kings will not happen again?"
"The false emperor Zhaowu is not Hongguang, but Yongli's generation is comparable!" Kangxi sighed: "His position has been established, who can compete with him? As for calming down people's hearts, I'm afraid it's too late. Enclose the land, surrender, and escape.
The Han people had a deep hatred for people, slaughtering cities, etc. This was all caused by short-sightedness. Especially Ao Bai, who monopolized power, discriminated against Han officials, and started a dispute over land exchange. He also ignored the sufferings of the people and levied additional taxes. It can be said that it was
He is also a traitor to the country!"
Aunt Sumala was horrified. Although Obai was in power, he had many members, and this was definitely not the time to start a civil strife.
"Your Majesty, Ao Bai entered the Pass from the Dragon and made outstanding contributions. Even if he made a mistake, it is inappropriate to call him a national thief." Aunt Sumala looked around warily and lowered her voice.
"Since ancient times, which of the powerful ministers has not made meritorious deeds? Who are the ministers who are causing trouble to the country, but who are the traitors to the country? They are benefiting the people for their own benefit. Who are they to be thieves of the people?" Kangxi was a little excited, and his voice was higher than before, "There are hordes of beggars in the city of Beijing, but there are hordes of beggars outside the city.
Thousands of miles of fertile fields have become a land of foxes and rabbits! After families have been destroyed, wives and children are scattered, how can we still expect the support of the Han people? Now the pseudo-emperor Zhaowu is seizing on the pain of the imperial court's mismanagement and intensifying its attack, resulting in the rise of rebellions that are difficult to contain.
Its momentum."
Aunt Sumala opened her mouth but didn't say anything. In fact, she didn't agree in her heart. Enclosing land, surrendering people, fleeing people and other bad policies were not decided by Ao Bai. From the time when the Manchus entered the customs to the Yongli monarchs and ministers fled to Burma, they were not trying to unify the world.
Momentum. It was just that the false emperor Zhaowu was lucky enough to turn the situation around, giving the Han people hope and a desire to resist, so he blamed Obai for this bad government. It is really not fair.
"If I were in charge, I would never do this." Sure enough, although Kangxi was young, his narcissism was very serious.
"That's natural." Aunt Sumala said with a smile: "The emperor is the real dragon emperor, and only you can control him."
Kangxi smiled slightly, then became serious again, and said: "The Eight Banners cannot be moved lightly, because I am in the capital. If I, the imperial commander, go to the expedition in person, what do you think, Sister Man?"
"Your Majesty, you must not do this." Aunt Sumala was taken aback and said quickly: "Long live the important place in the capital and must not stay away. Your Majesty, go out lightly. If there is a slight defeat, instead -"
"I would rather die in battle as an emperor than to be a cowardly master!" Kangxi stood up suddenly, interrupted Aunt Sumala unhappily, and walked out, "I will ask the Empress Dowager, she will definitely agree.
.”
……………
No matter how Kang Xiaosan thought that his ministers were incompetent, no matter how he thought that he was the destined emperor, no matter how he thought that he was wise and powerful, the changes in the war situation were constantly tilting towards the Ming army.
Although the Poshuo army led by Yiguo Gongma Zide failed to capture Yizhou (Linyi) in one fell swoop, it posed a flank threat to the Jianghuai Qing army that retreated across the Yellow River, and the Suppression Shuo army that occupied Jinan, as well as the expedition to cross the Yellow River north

The Ming army used heavy troops and part of the navy to advance north along the canal. Although it had not experienced any major battles, it was indeed quite eye-catching.
