Chapter 651 There is no longer Emperor Kangxi, but there is still Kangxi Khan!
Guihua City, Yinfo Temple.
The court meeting is still going on, and Kangxi Kang Mazi is still presiding over the meeting.
After announcing his "abdication" and giving up the throne to Prince Yinreng, who was only six years old and knew nothing, it was impossible for him to take charge of the government personally, and gave himself the title of "Emperor Regent", Kangxi
Start talking about what the Qing Dynasty will do in the future!
"Although our Qing Dynasty is a bit broken and has lost most of the Central Plains, the Qing Dynasty owns not only the Central Plains, but also the territories under the jurisdiction of General Shengjing and Ning Guta in the northeast, as well as the land of Shaanxi and Gansu in the northwest. In addition,
, I am still the Enhe Amgulang Khan of Great Mongolia, also known as Kangxi Khan! Although I am no longer the Kangxi Emperor, I still have to be the Kangxi Khan. Because my Great Khan of Mongolia was elected by the Kuritai Conference
, it was a gift from the Great Lama of Snowland..."
Kangxi's tone was obviously serious. He was reminding the people below that his throne as the Great Khan of Mongolia could not be handed over - the source of his legal authority as the Great Khan of Mongolia was the theocratic authority of the Kuritai Conference and the Holy See of Snowland.
It was determined that what he had was not a hereditary khan position, but an "elected khan". Therefore, he could not pass the "elected khan" to his son, and it was impossible for the Kuritai Assembly to elect a six-year-old child to be the khan.
Kangxi added: "And the connection between Shaanxi and Gansu in the northwest and Shengjing and Ninggu Pagoda in the northeast must be maintained through Monan, Mobei and Mongolia in the east. If we lose Mongolia's territory, so much
The Qing Dynasty was also divided into two parts, the east and the west... I'm afraid it won't be long before Zhu and Ji each defeat them!
Therefore, the foundation of our survival in the Northern Qing Dynasty lies in firmly controlling Mongolia!"
Should you firmly control Mongolia? Or...continue to support you, the Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty and the Great Khan of Mongolia?
The people below all knew that the Kangxi Emperor said he "abdicated himself because of his sins", but in fact he used his position as the Mongolian Khan to be firmly tied to the imperial power of the Northern Qing Dynasty.
Now the Northern Qing Dynasty cannot live without Mongolia, and to control Mongolia it cannot live without Kangxi Khan... So the New Eight Banners and Lu Yong of the Northern Qing Dynasty had to support Kangxi in controlling Mongolia.
This chain of "Kangxi - Mongolia - Beiqing" is really clever. One link after another, it firmly tied the New Eight Banners, Lu Yong and Kang Mazi together.
Kangxi's eyes flashed across the faces of the group of ministers who showed submissive expressions below, and he felt indescribable pride in his heart - Aren't these people all slaves at his own mercy? Even if he was not the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he would still be able to control them.
A piece of cake!
No, there are some that are not just side dishes!
Kong Shenggong, who had an army of 60,000, was not a piece of cake. He was still sitting there with a smile on his face, as if he was watching Kangxi's joke.
"Brother Holy Duke."
Kong Shenggong stood up with a smile and bowed to Kangxi, "What are your orders from the Supreme Emperor?"
Kangxi smiled and said: "After all, Guihua City is not a place to live for a long time... Where does the Holy Duke think it is a blessed place for us to establish our capital in the Northern Qing Dynasty and rest and recuperate?"
It was a good question to ask Kong Shenggong. Several Confucian bigwigs, except Huang Zhisheng who stayed in Shandong, others followed Kong Shenggong. On the way to retreat to Guihua City, these people were discussing where to build the capital.
——They were not sure that Kangxi would survive at that time, so they were already making preparations for Confucianism to take control of the Qing Dynasty. Naturally, they had to consider moving the capital.
"The best plan is to move to Xingqing Prefecture, the middle plan is to move to Jingzhao Prefecture, and the worst plan is to move to Shengjing." Kong Shenggong immediately came up with the plan that best suited the interests of Confucianism.
The Xingqing Mansion he was talking about was Ningxia Mansion. When the Western Xia Dynasty was established there, the name Xingqing Mansion was used. The Qing Fan of the Ming Dynasty was also sealed there, so there was a ready-made palace in Xingqing Mansion City that could be used.
The agriculture around Xingqing Prefecture is relatively developed. It has two major irrigation areas, Ningxia and Lingzhou, and is known as the South of the Yangtze River. Therefore, the land in Xingqing Prefecture is enough to support the 200,000 to 300,000 Qing people.
Moreover, Xingqing Prefecture is also close to the Hetao Grassland, and there are three Mongolian pasturelands nearby: Alxa, Ordos, and Chahar. Among them, the Chahar Mongols once again became the direct Mongolia of the Qing emperor after they ran away from Burni.
.So making Xingqing Mansion the capital would also help the Qing court control some Mongolian tribes.
In addition, Xingqing Prefecture is relatively close to the Snowy Region and the Western Regions. The Great Lama, Heshuote Mongolia, and Jungar Mongolia who now control the Snowy Region and the Western Regions have a good relationship with the Qing Dynasty. If the Qing Dynasty made Xingqing its capital
It is also easy for the government to get their support.
Finally, the Qing Dynasty, which had its capital at Xingqing Prefecture, would be more likely to evolve into a local separatist regime similar to the Wu and Zhou regimes. If one day Yinreng felt that he had no talent or virtue and was not worthy of being king, and would give up his throne to Kong Shenggong.
.....
Emperor Kangxi nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Shenggong has the same idea as me... Xingqing Mansion is indeed a good place for the Qing Dynasty.
However, in my imagination, the future Qing court should have two capitals, Xingqingfu in Xijing and Fengtianfu in Shengjing... Of course I have to sit in Xingqingfu. As for Shengjing, besides Shengjing,
In addition to General Jing, I also plan to appoint a Sheng Jing to stay behind, and he and General Sheng Jing will be in charge of the overall situation."
Kangxi specifically mentioned Shengjing for two reasons. First, he really valued Shengjing. Shengjing also had a large population of the New Eight Banners, and there were four allies of the host Mongolia nearby... those were all
Kangxi could not give up the power.
The second reason is to appease the ministers and servants who want to move eastward to Shengjing - in the eyes of many old Manchus, it seems to be natural to return to their hometown after losing the Central Plains.
As for whether they could establish themselves in their hometown, they never considered it.
Although Kangxi led the Qing Dynasty into the Northern Qing Dynasty, he was still a wise king, so he knew that it would be impossible for the Qing Dynasty to gain a foothold in its hometown after losing the Central Plains.
The only way out for the Qing Dynasty...is to go north and west! Enter the "world" of the Mongols. Therefore, Kangxi's Great Khan's throne was too precious to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Of course Kong Shenggong supported Kangxi.
Although his Confucianism can maintain some secret halls in Zhu Heji's Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to become a prominent school, so its power will definitely weaken. And he, a pseudo-Confucian sage who does not deserve the surname Kong, has no chance of survival in the East.
, can only go west.
Kangxi received the support of the powerful Holy Duke, and of course his ministers did not dare to object, and they all shouted in unison.
But when Kangxi heard this, what they shouted was not "sage", but "live"...
Now that the three major problems have been solved, Kangxi is in a much better mood. Then he thinks of a small problem again - that "fake Kangxi" who always makes people in the Central Plains mistakenly think that he has surrendered, and the Qing Dynasty
No more, it’s not a big deal!
We have to find a way to clarify... We have to let people know that the Kangxi they caught is fake!
Thinking of this, Kangxi showed a sad expression, "Chang Ning suffered on my behalf...Although he was willing to die, I still have to find a way to save him. Do you have any good ideas?
?”
"Long live my Lord, my slave Pearl has a solution."
Mingzhu limped out of the shift with a cane and was about to kneel down to Kangxi.
"Mingzhu, you don't have to kneel down..." Kangxi looked at Mingzhu who was disabled by the board and quickly waved his hand to tell him to stop kneeling, "You don't have to kneel down when you see me in the future."
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." Mingzhu was not polite and thanked him directly, "Your Majesty, my servant can go to Beijing or Nanjing to redeem Prince Gong."
"Redemption?" Kangxi frowned when he heard this idea, "But now the country is in dire straits and the court has no money!"
Mingzhu smiled and said: "The Emperor doesn't know something. This Prince Gong has a private savings stored in the Penglai Bank in Dengzhou... He can pay for his own life!"
In fact, Kangxi knew that it would be difficult to redeem Chang Ning's life, but he still nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Mingzhu, then I will appoint you as the peace envoy to the Ming Dynasty to negotiate peace and redeem people!"
