Zhou Peigong and Zhou Gongjin seem to have only one character difference in their names, but the military advisor of Zhou who appears in front of Kangxi now has no trace of "imitation of Zhou Gongjin". Jiangdong Zhou Lang should be suave and heroic.

vigorous.

But the person in front of me has a gray-faced look, and he looks a bit dry, and his face is tanned. He is not "not Zhou Yu" at all!

But the biggest difference between Zhou Peigong and Zhou Gongjin is that they are born with a slave look... It is impossible for Zhou Gongjin to lie on the ground, stick his butt out, and say in a slave accent "Slave Zhou Yu"

” and the like.

"Zhou Peigong, Tu Hai's memorial says that your talents are not inferior to those of Zhuge Sanhe and Yang Qilong. You can make suggestions for me and solve my current predicament." Kangxi held Tu Hai's memorial in his hand and frowned slightly.

He looked a little sad. He didn't know whether he had a headache because of his "life and death problem" or because his good brother had his head chopped off.

"Returning to the emperor," Zhou Peigong replied while lying on the ground, "the slave may not be as resourceful as Zhuge Sanhe and Yang Qilong, but the slave's fierce loyalty to the Qing Dynasty and the emperor is unmatched by these two traitors. The slave

I only hope that the Emperor can give this slave a chance to serve the Emperor both front and back!"

How loyal! Kangxi said in his heart: "In this case, Zhuge Sanhe and Yang Qilong will never say anything, right?"

"Okay!" Kangxi leaned forward and said, "I can give you a chance. As long as the strategy you give me is really effective, you can choose the positions in the Guards Office and the Imperial Academy. Even if you are the Minister of the Sixth Department, the Minister, I will

I can give it to you! In the future, I can also make you a bachelor and a minister of state affairs!"

"I thank Heaven for my kindness!" Zhou Peigong first thanked Heaven and kowtowed, and then said, "Your Majesty, this servant's strategy only has eight words: If you want to save the Qing Dynasty, go to Jiangnan first!"

"Well," Kangxi narrowed his eyes, "keep talking!"

"Yes, in fighting foreign affairs, we must first settle the internal affairs. Although the emperor's internal problems have not yet emerged, the hidden dangers are very huge. If the emperor cannot seize the key to eliminating internal problems, even if he can continue to deal with Wu Sangui in Hubei, once the internal problems break out, everything will be in vain

. Moreover, with Wu Sangui's skill in fighting and the bravery of Wu's army, even if the emperor defends Xiangyang, he may not be able to defend it for long. The key to the emperor's elimination of internal worries is to firmly hold the wealth of Jiangnan in his hands. But if Zhu Heji is allowed to

If we take the first step and seize Jiangnan, the emperor's power will be gone."

What a word that awakens the dreamer!

Before, Kangxi was thinking about how to make his ministers and slaves believe that he was still alive. Now when Zhou Peigong reminded him, he remembered that the best evidence to prove that he was the living Kangxi... was all the money!

If Kangxi could not hold the wealth of Jiangnan in his hands and let Zhu Heji grab Jiangnan's money, Kangxi would become a pauper. How important is the life and death of a pauper?

But he immediately remembered that the Qing army was suffering disastrous defeats in Huguang and Jiangxi battlefields. Wu Sangui was launching a fierce offensive in Huguang, and Zhu Heji would definitely launch a fierce attack in Jiangxi. As for the troops that Xiangyang Xing could control, except for the more than 10,000 people in Xiangyang City,

and Shi Lang's navy, the rest are either resisting Wu Sangui and Zhu Heji on the front line, or are busy running away... If they are abandoned and only take 30 to 40 thousand people to escape to the south of the Yangtze River, can Yue Le be subdued?

It’s hard to say “local dragon”!

In addition, a large-scale retreat is easy to say, but difficult to do. If one mistake is not made, it will become a big collapse. Don't wait for Kangxi to lead people to escape from Huguang, Wuchang, and Hanyang. How can we go to Jiangnan by then?

Kangxi sighed and said: "Zhou Peigong, what you said makes sense. But...how should I go to Jiangnan? My army is trapped in Huguang and Jiangxi. If we don't want them all, what will happen after we get to Jiangnan?"

,Why should I be the master in Jiangnan?"

"Your Majesty, Wu Sangui will not stop you from going to the south of the Yangtze River. He can't reach the south of the Yangtze River now. Stopping you will only give an advantage to Prince Zhu San and his gang. So you only need to send an envoy to Wu Sangui to express your willingness to send Xiangyang to Xiangyang.

Hanyang, Anlu, Wuchang, Huangzhou and other places were all offered, and he would definitely let the emperor's troops evacuate safely. Maybe he would also agree to release some captured Eight Banners soldiers... As for Zhu Heji, he

He does not have the Yangtze River Navy, and he has not occupied Jiujiang Prefecture for the time being. So as long as he moves quickly enough, there is nothing he can do. So the key now is just one word - fast!"

It has to be said that Zhou Peigong’s strategy was indeed brilliant – this was the legendary strategy of ceding territory and seeking peace!

Historically, how many imperialisms did the Qing Dynasty coax back with its "territory ceding strategy" and "reparations strategy"?

No matter how ferocious Wu Sangui was, could he still be more ferocious than those imperialists?

Kangxi jumped up and walked around Zhou Peigong, who was kneeling on the ground with his butt sticking out. While walking in circles, he said: "Okay... I don't want Xiangyang, Hanyang, Anlu, Wuchang, or Huangzhou! I don't want them anymore!"

We can also return Wu Shilin who was detained in Xiangyang to Wu Yingxiong, as long as Wu Sangui is willing to return all the captured Eight Banners soldiers to me, and let my army go to Jiangnan! But who can be sent as an envoy?"

"Your Majesty!" Upon hearing this, Xiong Cilu immediately went out and knelt down, "Hong Shiming, the son of Duke Hong Wenxiang, is traveling now. You can order him to go to Jingzhou as an envoy."

Duke Hong Wenxiang was Hong Chengchou. Hong Chengchou had a son named Hong Shiming, who inherited the third-class Adahaha title left by his father, and was awarded the Jinshi title in the twelfth year of Shunzhi. However, his official career was really not good, and he just took it for granted.

A Taichang Shaoqing.

And Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou have a good relationship. If the son of an old friend comes to seek refuge with him... he will be granted the title of earl, and he will be given the title of minister. I'm afraid there will be no problem with the title of minister, right?

However, this Hong Shiming was not a valuable commodity to the Qing Dynasty. There was nothing wrong with seeking refuge with Wu Sangui, as long as he could complete the task of ceding territory and suing for peace.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Okay!" Kangxi clapped his hands, "We still need a deputy envoy, who can go?"

"Your Majesty," Wang Fuchen hurriedly left his job and knelt down. "My master, Wang Shirong, was originally a Western Selector. He has an old relationship with Wu Sangui's military advisers Yang Qilong and Liu Xuanchu. You can ask him to talk to Yang Qilong and Liu Xuanchu. Both Yang Qilong and Liu Xuanchu

He is a smart person. He should know that once the Third Prince Zhu’s side gets this good territory in Jiangnan, all the oil and water in the world will belong to the person named Zhu. The Third Grand Prince Zhu is also very good at fighting, so let him have all the oil and water in the world.

How can we continue to play with these three points?"

Kangxi nodded. Although Wang Fuchen's words were crude, the truth was correct. Zhu Heji's military skills may not be as good as Wu Sangui's, but neither this guy nor Zhuge Demon Dao talked about martial arts. They knew how to use demons!

Moreover, those anti-thieves who played magic tricks in history were just blinders, but the magic tricks of these two are real magic tricks!

What’s even more frightening is that their demonic methods can still be innovated and become more and more demonic... Now they are all demons! If there is enough money, the day when three points will be reduced to one "demon" will be far away

?

"Okay!" Thinking of this, Kangxi had already made up his mind, "Xuan Hong Shiming and Wang Shirong came to see me.

In addition, let’s discuss the defense of Henan and Shaanxi again. I can give up Hubei to Wu Sangui, but I must defend Henan and Shaanxi. Now Shaanxi has Moro Luo and Zhang Yong, so there is no big problem for the time being. Henan is a bit empty.

I wonder who can guard Henan, the heart of the world, for me?"

"Your Majesty," Grand Scholar Mingzhu quickly left the office and knelt down, "I recommend someone who can definitely protect the heart of the Central Plains for the imperial court."

"Who is it?" Kangxi asked.

Mingzhu replied: "It's Prince An... If the emperor personally sits in Jiangning, then Prince An doesn't have to stay in Jiangning. And besides him, who else in the country can resist Wu Sangui's Northern Expedition?"

"You're right! Prince An has to defend Zhongzhou!" Kangxi nodded with satisfaction. Of course, what Mingzhu said touched every word in Emperor Kangxi's heart. Under the current situation, if An is not guarded,
