Kangxi suddenly woke up from his dream and realized that he was not on Jingshan, but was lying peacefully in the bedroom of the Jingzhao Palace.

Only then did he realize that he had a strange dream, no, it was a nightmare! Kangxi immediately thought of several creepy key factors - Jingshan, the crooked tree and a loyal eunuch!

Isn’t this the scene when Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself? How could he have such a dream? Could it be that he has thought about something every day and dreams at night? Or... God’s warning?

Thinking of this, Kangxi immediately broke out in a cold sweat and muttered to himself: "I will never be Emperor Chongzhen of the Qing Dynasty!"

"Long live, what did you say?"

Xiao Guizi's father-in-law's voice sounded in Kangxi's ears again, and Kangxi realized that his most loyal eunuch was standing beside his bed.

"Oh, nothing, nothing..." Kangxi certainly wouldn't tell Xiao Guizi about such an unlucky nightmare. He looked at the window paper again and found that there was already sunlight on him. "When is it now? Should I go to Nanshu to discuss politics?"

Emperor Kangxi has been recuperating in the past few days, so he naturally has no morning court, but Nanshufang still has to insist on the political discussion...

"Reply to the emperor," Xiao Guizi's father-in-law said with a smile on his face, "Now it's almost half past... So the servants came to serve the emperor and got up.

In addition, Duolong just sent a good news. The sticker also sent a report that Zhu Heying had returned to the court."

As he spoke, Xiao Guizi's father-in-law handed the two memorials to Kangxi together.

One of them was sent by Duolong, the Minister of the Inspector of the Guard. The Minister of the Inspector of the Guard sounded very much, but he was actually a "gatekeeper general" who was also in charge of receiving and receiving letters in addition to guarding the door.

The memorial sent by Duolong was sent by Tuhai, who led his troops to guard Xiangyang, and it was a good news. Although Xiangyang is surrounded on all sides, the Ming army's encirclement is not tight, especially on the outside of Fancheng on the north bank of the Han River. The two Gushans besieged in Xiangyang are all elite, namely the Zhenghuang Banner Gushan led by Tuhai and the Zhengbai Banner Gushan led by veteran Namudulu Laita. Both Gushans have elite Manchu cavalry under these two Gushans. It is not difficult to break through the Ming army encirclement in the north of Fancheng to convey the news.

Kangxi first picked up the news sent from Xiangyang and read it. This was a good news!

It turned out that three days ago, on September 26, the Ming army besieged in the city launched the first wave of attacks on Xiangyang City. They first used heavy firearms including long cannons weighing 20 kilograms and six rocket launchers for a full three hours, and then dispatched dead soldiers to force cross the Xiangyang moat on light boats and launched a battle to climb the city. As a result, the Qing army who climbed onto the Xiangyang city wall in time (when the Ming army was bombarded, they all went down to avoid shells) were defeated with flintlock rifles and mother-child cannons, and they also left behind as many as 300 bodies, and countless injured people retreated.

"Okay! Kill three hundred enemies, this is a great victory!" Emperor Kangxi, who had not tasted victory for a long time, couldn't help but cheer, and his spirit suddenly recovered after reading Tuhai's report.

Then he took out the report from the sticky rod and read it. The report from the report from the sticky rod was that Zhu Heying held a military parade in Jiangling Prefecture City, and then announced that the Ming Dynasty had successfully recovered Huguang, forcing Wu Yingxiong and Wu Guogui to surrender, and announced that the report from Kai's army was promoted.

In addition, this report also describes in detail the situation where the troops participating in this military parade immediately drove to the Shashi Wharf outside Jiangling City after completing the military parade, boarded the hundreds of large ships that had been waiting there for a long time, and finally set sail to the east...

"Zhu Heying left... It seems that he also knows that Xiangyang is difficult to fight, so he is ready to learn from the Mongolians to use long encirclements!" Kangxi just breathed a sigh of relief, but his brows then tightened again, "Little Guizi, wait for me to change my clothes, and then let the ministers of Nanshufang go to Nanshufang to wait."

"Yeah!"

......

When Emperor Kangxi walked into the Nan Study Room with brisk steps, what came to him was the long-lost relaxation.

It seems that the ministers have already known the good news about the "Xiangyang Victory" and Zhu Hezang's return to the court. They are all happy. When they see Kangxi walking in and bowing to him three times and nine times, they also have a smile on their faces.

"Flat, flat." Emperor Kangxi's tone was rarely relaxed. The young hero who used to "maintain everything" seemed to have returned.

After sitting down on the imperial throne in a big way, Emperor Kangxi glanced at several ministers in the South Study room below and found that there was one more person than usual, and this person could not get up even if he had been kneeling for a long time.

Kangxi looked closely and frowned. It turned out that the person who was kneeling was Yue Le.

"Uncle Emperor, are you back?"

Yue Le kowtowed and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the servant is guilty!"

He is too guilty!

He brought 120,000 troops to fight the "Battle of Red Cliffs", but instead of treating Zhou Yu, he ended up almost the same as Cao Cao... More than 70,000 troops were defeated, and there were 20,000 people (not counted among those 120,000 people) surrounded Zhuge Sanhe and could not get out of Xiangyang City.

The Qing Dynasty has only accumulated a total of 240,000 New Eight Banners!

However, Kangxi cannot punish Yue Le severely now, not because Yue Le was cheated by Wu Yingxiong, a "bear team member" trusted by Kangxi. But because there were nearly 6,000 people in the Zhenglan Banner Gushan under Yue Le's personal care... Fei Yanggu's secret letter arrived at Jingzhao Mansion seven days earlier than the defeated army led by Yue Le, which had already explained the situation.

Three Gushans were wiped out in this Battle of Wulin, and the remaining eleven Gushans suffered heavy losses. The two Gushans with the smallest losses were troops led by Yue Le and Fei Yanggu. When they fled to Gucheng County, Xiangyang Prefecture, the two Gushans had more than 6,000 troops, and they could still fight as long as they were replenished.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Since Yue Le's strength is still there, Kangxi dares not do anything to him.

But it still has to be done.

Kangxi sighed: "Uncle Emperor, we are all a family... Now that the Qing Dynasty is in trouble, we cannot be as unrestrained as the predecessor of the Ming Chongzhen Dynasty, we must unite! Let's do this, I will cut off your title and the Minister of Military Control, but the Minister of the Nanshu will keep it for you. In addition, I will keep it for him as the new army commander of the Zhenglan Banner Middle Road of Selen'e."

"I thank the master for your kindness." Yue Le breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed to Kangxi again, and then lay on the ground waiting for Kangxi to speak.

Kangxi looked at Yue Le, "Uncle Emperor, do you know the situation of the war in Xiangyang and the fact that Zhu Heying returned to the court?"

"The slave already knows."

Neither of these two memorials were secret copies, and they were copied to the ministers as usual.

"What do you think? Xiangyang... can it last? Will Zhu Heying launch the Northern Expedition from the East Road after returning to the DPRK?"

Yue Le thought for a while and said, "Report to the emperor, it is true that Xiangyang City is strong, but the reserves in Xiangyang City are not rich. It is no problem to persist for a year or two. I am afraid that after a long time..."

Kangxi frowned again. He didn't expect Xiangyang to be surrounded, so he naturally would not have enough military rations to store in the city for a few years. Now the food in Xiangyang City is still left by Wu Yingxiong for Yue Le's army to use!

It will take only one year to save some food. What’s worse is that the people in Xiangyang City are very clever and all fled with Wu Yingxiong, so the trapped Qing soldiers didn’t even want to eat human flesh... unless they eat their own meat!

In addition, will this Tuhai become "Tuchengchou"? Although this Tuhai usually looks quite loyal, it is hard for eternity to die! Now the weather is so cold, and the water in the moat of Xiangyang City is so cold. Moreover, Tuhai has two records of diving without death...
