Chapter 170 The emperor blocks the country's gates, and the prince visits his hometown (please subscribe, please vote)

When the people below heard that Wang Zhongxiao knew how to do things, and did so to the delight of Kangxi, they all looked up at Kangxi, as if they wanted to hear what Wang Zhongxiao did. Everyone wanted to learn from Wang Zhongxiao!

Of course Kangxi understood the meaning of these slaves, so he closed the secret fold, handed it back to Xiao Guizi, and asked the latter to put it away, and then said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that Wang Zhongxiao discovered a lot among the Portuguese people in Haao'ao.

Many Western arithmetic books, including books by Euclid, books by Pythagoras, books by Fibonacci, and books by Descartes, will also be sent to me this time. He

I'm also worried that I don't know much Western, so I have to send me some teachers who are proficient in Western to teach me Western."

Western arithmetic book? Spanish teacher? Why are the emperor’s hobbies so strange?

The ministers below were all stunned. If the emperor likes beauties, treasures, and antiques, everyone will always have a way to find them. But he doesn’t know Western arithmetic or Western literature!

Just when these loyal ministers and slaves of the Qing Dynasty were wondering whether they should also learn Western arithmetic and language, Emperor Kangxi had already changed the subject: "Now the Portuguese in Haao who support Ao Bai and Wu Sanwei have been defeated by Wang Fuchen

, Wang Zhongxiao was defeated, and even their St. Paul fortress was broken. Wang Fuchen, Wang Zhongxiao also said in the title book that the East Indian officials and merchants of the Western Red-haired Ho Yi and the Red-haired Ying Yi, as well as the Franji (Spanish) Yi

When the governor of Luzon heard that our troops had defeated the Portuguese barbarians, they all sent envoys to Hao'ao to ask for trade. He also said that he would never sell guns, gunpowder and gunpowder to Wu Sanwei and Aobai.

Wu Sanwei and Ao Bai have lost their foreign aid, while Shang Zhixin, the prince of Pingnan, and Li Lan, the governor of Guangdong, respectively defended Shajiao, Baiyun Village, Zhangmutou, and Tamsui Chang, blocking the two thieves Wu and Ao from invading Dongguan and Huizhou.

.These two thieves are now trapped in Shenzhen, Kowloon, and Xiangdao. They have no external reinforcements and a lack of population inside. Even if they are not defeated for the time being, it will be difficult to grow bigger. When Chen Fufu leads the sea route to support the navy and goes south, these two thieves will be defeated.

It's time.

As for the four thieves including Sun Yanling, Zu Zeqing, Ma Xiong, and Guo Yi, Wang Fuchen and Kong Sizhen were watching over them, so they could only guard their homes. The situation in Huguang seemed to be quite stable. Although Wu Guogui was about to join the invaders from time to time.

According to rumors, we have already deployed 10,000 new banner troops and 10,000 new green battalion troops in Huguang. Coupled with the originally garrisoned banner troops and green battalions in Huguang, there should be no problem in resisting them.

So now it seems that the most dangerous battlefield is the Shaanxi-Gansu battlefield. Once Wu Sangui is allowed to leave the Qishan Mountains or cross the Qinling Mountains and enter the Guanzhong, the world will really collapse!"

When Kangxi talked about the war situation in Guangdong, Guangxi and Huguang, he was relatively relaxed, with a pockmarked face and a smile, and seemed confident. But when his conversation moved to the battlefield of Shaanxi and Gansu, he had a look of worry about the country and the country!

The current "Battle of Qing and Wu" is basically playing Ming chess!

In the past few months, Wu Sangui, in addition to taking over various parts of Sichuan and Guizhou, also marched into Shaanxi. Before the heavy snow closed the mountains and roads in the tenth year of Kangxi, Wu Sangui took over most of Hanzhong and Xing'an, and also started to conquer Hanzhong.

He Xing'an purchased grain at a high price, and even distributed many people who had been elected in the 45th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (the 11th year of Kangxi) in order to raise grain.

And the second son of Wu Yingqi, who was so powerful in the decisive battle of Rongxi Bridge, was sent to Hanzhong to supervise the army!

This clearly shows that Wu Sangui is leaving Qishan, crossing the Qinling Mountains and marching towards Shaanxi and Gansu!

Kangxi's face became darker again, and he continued: "Mo Luo, the governor of Gansu and Shaanxi, and Jia Hanfu, the governor of Shaanxi, have recently reported that the song 'Welcome the King of the West and share the land' has appeared in various parts of Shaanxi! And Guanzhong, northern Shaanxi and

There are also agents sent by Wu Sangui in various prefectures in Gannan to post notices everywhere saying that Wu Sangui has obtained the entire fertile land of Sichuan, and the people in Sichuan have been slaughtered by the Manchus, so now there are fewer people and more land, which can be distributed to the poor in Shaanxi and Gansu.

Chinese.

This is simply nonsense! Zhang Xianzhong clearly killed all the people in Sichuan, how dare you blame me, the Qing Dynasty? Although these are all nonsense and rumors, many ignorant people believe them, which makes people in Shaanxi and Gansu now unstable.

A group of ignorant and poor people are all thinking of getting something for nothing. If Wu Sangui really calls, I'm afraid there will be many people in Shaanxi and Gansu who will respond."

At this point, Kangxi's tone had become cold and gloomy, almost gnashing his teeth.

The expressions on the faces of the bachelors and Hanlin bachelors who were kneeling below also became extremely solemn along with Kangxi's.

Wu Sangui has obviously not been idle these years. He must have been working hard to improve his rebellion skills, and it has been quite effective. Now he takes a knife and stabs the Qing Dynasty's weaknesses and vital points as soon as he takes action!

Not only did it directly attack the key point of Shaanxi and Gansu, but it also resorted to the great trick of dividing the land equally!

Moreover, they used the fertile fields of Sichuan to seduce the poor people of Shaanxi and the barren land of Shaanxi. How powerful were the poor people of Shaanxi and Shaanxi when they rebelled against the Ming Dynasty? When Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng tried to conquer the king, they just shouted for equal land and no taxes.

, in the end, some of the taxes were waived, but the land was not evenly distributed.

But now it seems that Wu Sangui really wants to equalize farmland, and it is also good land in Sichuan! If he goes to Shaanxi and Gansu, he will casually mobilize hundreds of thousands of old Qin troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty will return the favor.

Such a mess?

A very soft voice said: "Your Majesty, how about we all share the land equally?"

What?

Can the Qing Dynasty also achieve land equalization?

Everyone looked at the voice and found that the person speaking seemed to be Xiong Cilu, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy.

Kangxi frowned and asked: "Xiong Cilu, do you think our Qing Dynasty will also imitate the Third Prince Zhu and Wu Sangui in equalizing land?"

"Your Majesty, I feel that everything must go as it should. Think about the worst, what if?" When Xiong Cilu said this, beads of sweat were already covering his head and face, and he could no longer speak.

But how smart was Kangxi? Did he know what "what if" Xiong Cilu was?

It must be that if Wu Sangui came out of Qishan and his craftsmanship was better than Zhuge Liang, what would the Qing Dynasty do?

"But where can I find so much good farmland to give to the poor below?" Kangxi frowned, "If Sichuan is not lost, then I still have a large area of ​​good land in my hand that can be released. But now Sichuan has..."

When Kangxi said this, his expression suddenly changed and he looked at Xiong Cilu intently.

Xiong Cilu hurriedly kowtowed to the ground and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there are countless fertile fields in Liao beyond the Pass."

"Xiong, what did you say?"

Before Kangxi could say anything, Suo'etu had already shouted, "Outside the Pass is our escape route for the Eight Banners! Do you want to give it to the Han people?"

"That's right, outside the Pass is the ancestral homeland of Manchuria!"

"The land outside the customs must not be touched!"

"Your Majesty, please Zhu Xiong to give me some shoes!"

This means shouting "kill" and "execute"!

But Xiong Cilu was so frightened that he lay there shivering, not to mention regretting it in his heart - he was not a Manchurian, so why bother with that? At worst, he would be the second minister when Wu Sangui came!

While he was regretting this, Chen Tingjing, who was standing next to him, suddenly shouted: "What use do you think of the Manchurian ancestral land in the future?"

What's the use?

Do you still need to ask? Of course, when you can’t stay in the Central Plains anymore, you can run back to the outside world!

But it seems inconvenient to say this now, right?

Aren't we discussing how to fight Wu Sangui now? The Guanzhong defense battle has not even started yet, and we are considering running away. Isn't this inappropriate?

For a while, no one answered the question raised by Chen Tingjing.

Chen Tingjing gritted his teeth and simply answered by himself: "Isn't it that the late emperor was worried that the Eight Banners disciples would not be able to stand in the Central Plains? If there was an emergency, he would have a way out to wait for the future? But who will be the Eight Banners disciples now?

Plowing the fields? No matter how fertile the land outside the customs is, if you don’t know how to cultivate it, is it possible that you can still grow your own food?"

This really confused a group of Manchurian academicians.

No matter how fertile the land outside the customs is, it will be impossible to produce food in the hands of the Eight Banners from Beijing who cannot farm!

If we have land but no food, won’t we still starve to death?

Chen Tingjing took a sharp breath, and then said: "Besides, if Wu Shun really could take over the Central Plains one day, would he let go of the fertile land thousands of miles outside the Pass? Even if he didn't, those under him would still stretch their necks in anticipation of dividing the fields.

Can we still do without the local government soldiers?"

That’s right!

If Wu Sangui and his field-dividing soldiers swept the Qing Dynasty out of the Central Plains, could they still spare the nooks and crannies of the Northeast?

If Wu Sangui took advantage of the vigor of seizing the Central Plains and sent his army out of Shanhaiguan, and swept through the Central Plains veterans with a single vote, wouldn't it be a joke to beat a group of Qing drowned dogs who couldn't farm on their own and were starving in the fertile soil outside the Pass?

Emperor Kangxi had already made a decision in his mind and nodded: "Xiong Cilu, what Chen Tingjing said makes sense. Taking a step back, if I really want to temporarily retreat outside the customs, I will have to arrange for people to reclaim the land outside the customs in advance.

Fertile farmland! Otherwise, it would be so desolate outside the pass that I would not be able to stand even if I took the Eight Banners disciples there!"

"emperor!"

"emperor."

The few bachelors below felt that Kangxi's words were a bit depressing, but they wanted to remonstrate, but they didn't know what to say? After all, Shunzhi and Dorgon made the Northeast a "private territory", wasn't it just to prevent the Han people from rebelling one day?

If future generations cannot defeat them, will they still have a place to escape?

But now, it seems that it is a bit unbeatable. Kangxi made preparations in advance and recruited some farmers from the pass to cultivate in the northeast. What's wrong? If we don't do this now, we will really be in trouble in the future. We will run out in a panic and even have nothing to eat!

When Kangxi saw that the bachelors below him were silent, he waved his hand and said, "You don't have to say anything, I know it in my heart. However, the matter of reclaiming the Northeast is related to the destiny of the country, so we should not act rashly. I have to go to the Empress Dowager for advice."

Before the Empress Dowager gives me a kind message, no one should make any false claims that this is my will!"

"The servant (minister) obeys the order."

The ministers below quickly accepted the order.

Kangxi said again: "I have another idea. I want to listen to your opinions today. The gains and losses in Guanzhong are related to the rise and fall of our Qing Dynasty. They must not be ignored! Wu Sangui will definitely fight in this battle. If I don't fight in person, will it look like I am afraid?"

Wu Sangui?"

"Your Majesty, do you want to lead the expedition in person?"

"Your Majesty, no!"

"Your Majesty, you are going to march in person. Who will be watching from the capital? What if there is something wrong with the capital?"

How could any of the bachelors below dare to allow Kangxi to lead a military expedition in person? Yue Le couldn't defeat Wu Sangui, so wouldn't it be more dangerous for Kangxi to take action? What would the Qing Dynasty do if something went wrong?
To be continued...
