Chapter 1423 Kant
Emperor Kant was very satisfied with this year's title. In his opinion, no one was worthy of the throne except himself. If he ascended the throne and empress, the Qing Dynasty would definitely be as Kang and De as his dynasty as his year's title.
A few days ago, Emperor Kant received the news of Yongzheng's death. When the Ming army advanced to Zhenyuan City, he saw that Yongzheng, who was in a premature situation, did not escape, but committed suicide by taking poison.
Emperor Kant was a little surprised and also felt a little disappointed. After all, Yongzheng was the nominal Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Although his position was not right, he could not deny his former status. Moreover, Yongzheng and Kant were brothers of the same mother. His brother committed suicide in this way, and he was inevitably grateful to the death of the rabbit and the fox.
But apart from these, Kant was still a little happy. After all, once Yongzheng ran away directly, there were still two emperors in the Qing Dynasty. In this way, Kant could not completely control the center of the Qing Dynasty, but the problem of Yongzheng's death no longer exists.
Emperor Kant sacrificed the dead Yongzheng in a fake manner, and gave him a posthumous title, and at the same time declared the orthodox world as the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Although these things are just tricks to cover up the ears and steal the bells, it is necessary to do so. After dealing with these things, the Qing princes and ministers who escaped from Zhenyuan City all surrendered to Kant, thus expressing their recognition of Emperor Kant's orthodoxy.
All this made Kant feel complacent. In his opinion, Yongzheng's problem no longer exists, and he was already the only emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Then what he has to face next is the continued attack of the Ming Dynasty. Kant is not a fool. On the contrary, he is very clear-headed. He has long experienced the power of the Ming Dynasty. The head-on battle between the Qing Dynasty is definitely not an opponent of the Ming Dynasty. What's even more terrible is that the Russians now run away without even calling a single call under the powerful offensive of the Ming Dynasty, which makes the Qing Dynasty only able to fight against the Ming Dynasty with its own strength.
Faced with such a situation, Kant took three countermeasures.
The first countermeasure is to use the vast territory of the Western Regions to continue to deal with the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty had a strong military strength, the territory of the Western Regions was extremely large. Even if the Ming Dynasty directly invested hundreds of thousands of military forces in the Western Regions, it would not be possible to completely control such a vast territory of the Western Regions.
In other words, the advantage of space is Kant's confidence. As long as there is enough space to deal with, in Kant's view, no matter how powerful the Ming Dynasty is, it cannot completely destroy the Qing Dynasty.
The second countermeasure is to pretend to be grandson. Kant has already set up people to contact the Ming Dynasty. He is preparing to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty and directly surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
Although the Ming Dynasty did not agree to this method before, the current situation is different from that of the past. If the Ming Dynasty wants to completely solve the extremely difficult problem of the Qing Dynasty in the Western Regions, as long as the Qing Dynasty can show enough sincerity, then the Ming Dynasty will not fail to consider this aspect.
Moreover, Kant was ready to go directly to the throne. As long as the Ming Dynasty was able to accept negotiations, what if he went to the throne himself? In Kant's view, the so-called return to the throne is just a form. Whatever he calls his emperor when he is closed is his own business. Han people have always wanted face. If he uses this face to exchange for the Qing Dynasty's continued existence, this transaction will not be a loss.
As for the third, it is to unite all forces that can unite to deal with the Ming Dynasty.
This was the case with Russia before. Although Russia has retreated under the powerful force of the Ming army, it can still be won over. In addition, there are other tribes in the Western Regions. They are not friendly to the Ming Dynasty, which is also a group that Kant can win over.
Even the JugGer Khanate is the same. Although the Qing Dynasty and JugGer Khanate have a grudge, everyone understands the truth that the lips and teeth are cold. Once the Ming Dynasty completely resolves the Western Regions and destroys the Qing Dynasty, what will the Ming Dynasty do next? I am afraid the next goal is JugGer?
From these aspects, Kant's considerations are more cautious and comprehensive, and the possibility of implementation is relatively high. If it is not good, it can at least relieve the current pressure of the Qing Dynasty.
But Kant never expected that just when he was about to arrange these things and stabilize his position step by step, Junggar suddenly sent troops. The damn idiot Cewang Alabutan didn't know if his mind was in water, and he actually sent troops from Tibet to attack the Western Regions directly. This made Kant thunder angrily curse.
