Chapter 291 If it's broken, Kangxi will also imitate it!
When Fuquan heard that Emperor Kangxi was going to take action to catch the Crazy King himself, he immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty, you are a body of gold, and the fate of the Qing Dynasty is in charge. You must not take risks! Since the crazy king Geng Jingzhong is already crazy, he can do anything. If you shock the Holy Lord, it will not only threaten the fate of the Qing Dynasty, but also increase his own sins."
Kangxi nodded and looked at his brother's fair face, "Second brother, what you said makes sense. But if I don't go in person, how could Geng Jingzhong and the group of people under him know that the power of heaven cannot resist? If we cannot shock people with the power of heaven, how could Geng Jingzhong be willing to surrender? How could his group of subordinates be willing to recognize Geng Zhaozhong as king?"
"this"
Fuquan dared not speak now. He originally wanted to ask for orders to lead troops to escort Geng Zhaozhong to capture the Crazy King and inherit the throne.
But Kangxi said, "The power of heaven is hard to resist." What should you say to Fuquan? You can't say that you look very majestic. You can completely scare Geng Jingzhong's slave Fuquan is Kangxi's brother. He just missed the position of the emperor because he lacked a numb face!
However, after Fuquan grew up, human acne began to become popular in the Qing court, so he also planted it. Now he is no longer afraid of smallpox.
Since Fuquan also has the ability to "defend flowers", can he covet the throne?
Seeing that his brother stopped talking, Kangxi continued, "But now Wu Sangui has sent 60,000 troops to attack Dangyang and Qianjiang. I still have to stay in Xiangyang and command the army to fight with it. It's really not time to do it. Second brother, you just escort Geng Zhaozhong to take down Geng Jingzhong under my banner and Tuhai and Jieshu.
After taking Geng Jingzhong, you will continue to advance to Hunan under my banner to capture Wu Sangui's retreat. Remember, Geng Jingzhong is crazy!"
"Crazy" and "anti-" are completely different in nature!
The crime of rebellion will be executed, and going crazy can be exempted from crime and reduced from crime. Since Geng Jingzhong himself has not committed any death sentence, the person who follows him will be even less guilty.
Kangxi named Geng Jingzhong a "crazy crime" rather than a "crime of rebellion". First, in order to facilitate Geng Zhaozhong's subordinates to recruit Geng Jingzhong's subordinates, he had to convict those people of a rebellion that could be executed. Maybe they would be anxious!
The second reason is to have a step forward to it.
He was a little saint of the Qing Dynasty, but was deceived by Geng Jingzhong. Where did this face be put? Kangxi was a very face-loving master. In history, when the crown prince Yinreng was deposed, he even found an excuse for "nightmare curse". Not that Kangxi was incompetent in teaching his children, but that there was a "demonic incident" and Yinreng was captured.
"Slaves are the commander of the sea!"
"The slaves and Jieshu received the order."
When Fuquan wanted to push the errand out, the two deputys assigned by Emperor Kangxi had already knelt down to receive the order.
Now Fuquan couldn't help but take on this unlucky errand.
Kangxi then asked: "Fuquan, Tuhai, Jieshu, you three feel how many soldiers are needed to shock Geng Jingzhong and his men?"
Tuhai said: "If you go back to the emperor, Geng Jingzhong will have at least 30,000 soldiers and horses. If you want to shock them, you must have 30,000 people, right?"
Jie Shu said: "Emperor, the soldiers in Jiujiang and Nanchang can be dispatched immediately, but the maximum number is only 8,000."
Kangxi frowned, "Eight thousand is not enough, why do you have to raise another 20,000 yuan? Let me tell you, where should I draw troops from?"
Zhuobutai took over the question and knelt down and replied: "Your Majesty, now you can only take the risk of drawing troops from Wuchang and Hanyang."
"What Wu Gong said is very true," Tuhai said, "Now, we can only dispatch troops from Wuchang, Hanyang to Wuchang, which is responsible for slaves. Hanyang has a total of 20,000 Land Divisions and 20,000 Navy Divisions. Among them, there are 8,000 Eight Banners soldiers and 12,000 Green Camp soldiers, which can all be of great use."
Xiangyang is 600 miles away from Hankou. If you want to take the water route, you have to transfer the ship from Wuchang and Hanyang. If you take the land route, the army will not reach Hankou for less than ten days. Then board the boat from Hankou to Hukou, it will take at least several days. This is too delayed!
Therefore, the only choice is to mobilize the troops from Hanyang and Wuchang.
Tuhai is in Hanyang and Wuchang has been reorganizing the army for a long time, and has already had 40,000 troops, half of which are water and land. The navy is still brought by Shi Lang!
So without Geng Jingzhong "going crazy", Wu Sangui would never be able to conquer Wuchang. Even if Wu Sangui's army in Hanyang has the ability to break the city, the navy will not do it! Once the navy is defeated, the army's retreat will be exposed. If you are "spanked" anytime and anywhere, how can you still have the strength to attack the city?
Kangxi frowned and asked, "Wuchang, Hanyang will not be in trouble, right?"
There must be no mistakes in Wuchang, Hanyang, and Hukou!
Emperor Kangxi's long snake formation seems to be able to echo the beginning and end, but there are several key "victory points" that cannot be lost.
These key "victory points" are Xiangyang, Hanyang, Wuchang, Jiujiang, Anqing, Taiping, Jiangning, Zhenjiang and Yangzhou. Among them, Wuchang and Jiangning are the most important!
But Kangxi could not watch Geng Jingzhong go crazy for Wuchang's foolproof now, and then take down Hukou County of Jiujiang Prefecture and cut off the Yangtze River defense line in half, right?
Besides, Geng Jingzhong would not lie down after taking Hukou. He would also continue to develop towards the lower reaches of the Yangtze River while Emperor Kangxi's main force was restrained by Wu Sangui. Of course, he could not defeat Jiangning, but there were not many defenders in Anqing, Taiping, and Yangzhou. If they were to be captured by Geng Jingzhong, would the Yangtze River defense line still exist? When Zhu Heying went north to attack Jiangning, would the army in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River still have time to reinforce?
Moreover, what if Geng Jingzhong comes to Wuchang after taking Hukou?
Tuhai's defenses are all facing Hunan and Jingjiang, and the back of his butt is also very empty.
If Geng Jingzhong swept across the river and removed all the important land along the river in Fuchikou, Tianjia Town, Makou, Huangshigang, Wuchang County (not Wuchang Fucheng), Fankou, Huanggang, Huarong and other places, would Wuchang become an isolated city?
So why is Geng Jingzhong "crazy"? Emperor Kangxi is really a little confused.
"Emperor," Tu Hai frowned, "There are 20,000 land divisions under my command and 20,000 naval divisions, among which the naval divisions can also go ashore. If 20,000 land divisions are mobilized to Hukou and then 10,000 naval divisions are used to transport ships, then there are still more than 10,000 naval divisions left, and they can all land on ashore to defend the city. Moreover, the naval divisions transporting the land division to Hukou can return immediately after completing the mission.
If Wu Sangui dares to attack Wuchang and Hanyang, then as long as the navy who climbs the city to defend, Shi Lang will lead the main force of the navy back for a few days. By then, the Yangtze River and the surface of the Han River will be our world.
Moreover, the imperial army stationed in Xiangyang can also be transferred out part of it to Hanyang immediately, and they will be in place within ten days."
It seemed that there was no big problem. Emperor Kangxi breathed a little relieved and looked at Zhuobutai again.
Zhuobutai said: "Your Majesty, you can ask Wang Fuchen to lead 10,000 green flag soldiers to Hanyang immediately!"
Although the ten thousand green flag slaves led by Wang Fuchen were the most prestigious army among the Baoyi slave army, their combat effectiveness was the strongest. Because they were all elite green camps who were "slave-turned" with the combat power of veterans and the morale of the slave army.
Only when they arrived in Wuchang, Hanyang, and Wu Sangui would find it difficult to break the city.
"Emperor!" Wang Fuchen knelt down immediately, "Give me five days to walk these six hundred miles!"
"Okay!" Kangxi slapped his thigh, "Wang Fuchen, you are indeed my sway. You will go to the army immediately and set out south tomorrow!"
"Yeah!" Wang Fuchen kowtowed a few times to Kangxi, immediately got up and trotted all the way.
Emperor Kangxi seemed a little excited at this time, and rubbed his palm and said, "King Yu, Jieshu, Tuhai, Geng Zhaozhong, you can prepare too. The imperial edict will be delivered soon, and then you will ride the fastest horse to Hanyang!"
"Yeah!"
Fuquan, Jieshu, Tuhai, and Geng Zhaozhong also responded together, and then ran out.
Chapter completed!
