Chapter 267 Kangxi, will you follow?
"Slave Fu Honglie bows to receive the imperial edict!"
When Fu Honglie said these words, there were tears in his eyes, and he suppressed them to prevent himself from crying. This emperor's favor is so profound!
During this period, Fu Honglie's slave movement really skyrocketed like a rocket! Not only did he raise the flag and become a slave of the Zhengbai Banner Han Army, he also ordered Hanlin and became a slave of the Hanlin Academy. Now he is even more
A minister was appointed to supervise the Yangtze River Navy... although this minister was not a permanent official, so he had no rank.
But this real power is really great!
Thinking of this, Fu Honglie could only kowtow to the ground and salute Emperor Kangxi, and then step aside.
"Prince An." Kangxi saw him retreating and immediately called Prince An again.
"My servant is here." Prince An Yue Le immediately went out to work, and then also knelt down before Emperor Kangxi.
"Prince An, you have followed Prince Su to defeat the traitors, and you have been appointed by General Xuanwei to conquer the Khalkha Mongolia. You can be called a famous general in this dynasty."
As soon as Kangxi came up, he praised Yue Le fiercely, which moved Yue Le very much. At the same time, he also knew that it was his turn to take action, and he kowtowed quickly and said: "The emperor has given you such a reward. How dare Yue Le take on such a great name? The emperor has a destiny, and he is a slave."
Even though he is a mess, he still does not fail the divine grace!"
Kangxi nodded, feeling extremely satisfied with the emperor's uncle's humility and courage.
"Prince An," Kangxi said, "now Wu Sangui has rebelled...and his troops are pointing directly at the Yangtze River! The court must make the destruction of Wu the first priority, and the battlefield has also moved from Lingnan to the Yangtze River Basin and Sichuan-Shaanxi area.
In your opinion, where should the imperial court deploy its defenses, where should it attack, and where should it temporarily abandon it?"
"Returning to the emperor, in my humble opinion, although Wu Sangui is powerful, his stamina is limited. Moreover, he is old and has lost his energy, so it is difficult for him to achieve success." Prince An Yue Le thought about the words and said again,
"Although the imperial court has decided on the order of Wu first and then Zhu, it cannot take the third fake prince Zhu in Guangdong and Fujian lightly... Please don't forget the pirate Zheng Yanping's Northern Expedition in the 16th year of Shunzhi! If that year
It is not Zheng Yanping who supervises the land battle but Zhu Heji, Zhuge Sanhe, Yang Xiuqing and others, so Jiangning will inevitably change hands!"
"Oh, uncle Huang means that Nanjing is the first important point that the imperial court must defend?"
"Your Majesty!" Prince An Yue Le said, "If there is a loss in Jiangning...the imperial court will lose the land of wealth in the southeast. If there is no wealth in the southeast, what will Shi Lang and Fu Honglie use to manage the navy and guard the navy?"
Yangtze River? If the navy of the false prince Zhu Sangui attacks in the east, and the land division of Wu Sangui attacks in the west, and is attacked from both sides, how can Tuhai hold on in Wuchang and Jiujiang? If the false prince Zhu San once again uses Jiangning as a stronghold, sails out to sea, and launches the Northern Expedition
Liaodong, will we return home?"
Ginger is indeed very spicy!
After all, Yue Le is an old man who has experienced Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expedition to Nanjing. He knows the fear and fear in Beijing back then... To be honest, when Li Dingguo became king, no one was that scared!
Because no matter how much trouble Li Dingguo makes, as long as he cannot create a navy capable of crossing the Yangtze River, he will definitely stop at Yuezhou and not even reach Wuchang.
And once Zheng Chenggong captured Nanjing, how difficult would it be to turn his pirates into Yangtze River navy?
If the population and wealth in the south of the Yangtze River are all there is, what difficulty will there be if the navy goes north again to land in Shandong, Liaodong, and Korea?
When Zheng Chenggong's army arrives at Shanhaiguan, the fun will be great.
So at that time, Emperor Shunzhi spread out the map and took a look, my dear, it was really a vast sea area, with wind leaking everywhere... The Qing Dynasty was about to be over!
This frightened Emperor Shunzhi!
Fortunately, Zheng Chenggong's land war was really defeated, and the Qing Dynasty escaped.
But this time Zhu Heji, Zhuge Sanhe, and Yang Xiuqing have very high levels of land warfare!
Emperor Kangxi nodded repeatedly, "Uncle Emperor, it's better to think carefully! Nanjing must be guarded by important ministers!"
"Your Majesty," Yue Le said again, "Not only Jiangning, Songjiang, Suzhou, Zhenjiang, Taicang, Changzhou, but also Haimenting, Tongzhou and Yangzhou in the north of the Yangtze River must be tightly guarded! We must not allow the traitors to enter the Yangtze River Estuary
After landing, head west step by step.
In addition, Zhejiang also needs to be heavily fortified and entrusted with capable officials with both civil and military skills to take charge of the overall situation."
Kangxi pondered and asked: "Prince An, who in the court do you think can guard Jiangning?"
Prince An Yue Le immediately kowtowed to Emperor Kangxi: "Your Majesty, I have volunteered to go to Jiangning to look after this important place for the survival of the country for you!"
Kangxi felt a little surprised, and he was startled and said: "Uncle Emperor thinks that there is a high possibility that Zhu San and his son will attack from across the sea?"
Yue Le said: "The emperor clearly knows that the false crown prince Zhu and his son originated from Guangdong and are located in the southern corner of the world. This is extremely unfavorable for their struggle for the world. And they are using the banner of the third son of Chongzhen, so they cannot favor Tiannan.
They are like vassal kings. So I estimate that the two fathers and sons will definitely forge ahead! To advance from Guangdong, there are no more than two ways, one way is through Huguang, and the north of Jiangxi is towards the Yangtze River; the other way is through Fujian, and the coast of Zhejiang is straight to the southeast.
If Zhu San and his son went to Huguang and northward Jiangxi, they would either have a conflict with Wu Sangui and benefit the imperial court, or they would have a fierce battle with the imperial soldiers and horses to benefit Wu Sangui... If Wu Sangui was allowed to enter Wuchang first, and then flood eastwards, he would
After destroying the prosperous place of Jinling, what chance of survival do Zhu San and his son have?
Therefore, Zhu San and his son must go to Fujian, go north along the coast of Zhejiang, and go straight to Jiangning. Moreover, they have the pirates Zheng Shizi and Qiu Hui to help them, as well as ships and sailors. It should not be difficult to transport tens of thousands of people to the north by water.
And the gains and losses of Jiangning are related to the rise and fall of the country, and there must be no room for loss! I thought about it and felt uneasy about shouldering such a heavy responsibility for others, so I boldly asked for orders to go to Zhenjiangning!"
After saying this, Yue Le kowtowed heavily again and fell to the ground!
Seeing Yue Le's performance and listening to Yue Le's well-founded analysis before, Emperor Kangxi also felt that it was Yue Le who must guard Jiangning.
So Kangxi no longer hesitated and announced loudly: "Prince An Yue Le, I order you to serve as General Xuanwei again and also take charge of General Jiangning, to the southeast of Xuanwei, to guard Jiangning, and to control the military and civilians of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces...
...In addition, we will mobilize three thousand elite soldiers from the Forward Battalion, the Valiant Cavalry Battalion, the Coated Valiant Cavalry Battalion, and the newly formed Coated Fire Thunder Battalion to accompany them southward!"
Kangxi was bleeding money this time! He sent out 3,000 Eight Banners soldiers, and also dispatched elite soldiers from the newly formed Baoyi Huolei Battalion.
The so-called Baoyi Huolei Battalion, like the Baoyi Xiaoqi Battalion, is under the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Most of its members are from the Shangsanqi minions under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and are personally trained by Kangxi and the "real Hanlin" Zhang Hongtian.
Yue Le kowtowed again: "There are slaves guarding Jiangning. Even if the traitor Zhu San has millions of people, he can't even think of setting foot in the south of the Yangtze River!"
Hearing the words of Prince An Yue Le, Emperor Kangxi suddenly felt a lot more at ease... This Prince An is indeed a reassuring prince!
It's a pity that there was only one Prince An in the Qing Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Kangxi asked again: "Prince An, besides Jiangning, where else is the key to pacifying Wu and destroying Zhu?"
"Returning to the emperor, I think that Wuchang, which is under Jiangning, is the most important. Wuchang is the thoroughfare of nine provinces, controlling the Yangtze River and the throat of Han River. If it is taken by Wu, Wu thieves will not only have the possibility to go eastward along the river, but also some fools.
Entering Xiang, head north with all your strength to try for a chance! Fortunately, there are Tuhai guarding Wuchang, and Shi Lang and Sun Sike assisting, so there should be no serious problems. However, Jingzhou to the west of Wuchang, Nanchang, Jiujiang and other places to the east of Wuchang,
Heavy troops should also be deployed to prevent Wu Ni from taking the risk of dividing his troops north of the Yangtze River or invading from Jiangxi, detouring to the lower reaches of Wuchang, and then advancing from east to west.
In addition, I thought that Yuezhou Prefecture did not need to be defended...it could be given to Wu Ni."
"Give Yuezhou to Wu Ni? Why?" Kangxi was puzzled.
"Returning to the emperor," Prince An Yue Le said, "If Wu Shun captures Yuezhou, he will definitely build a large naval force in order to move down the river. If Yuezhou cannot be captured, Wu Sangui may have the idea to cross the river with his entire army.
