Chapter 344 Kangxi is furious
Du Li led his army to withdraw from Qinzhou and led the navy to entrench on Longmen Island to control the Qing army.
The Battle of Qiongdao had already been passed to Nashi Town, and the Nashi Town was cheering and cheering.
In the 26th year of Kangxi, summer.
Qing Dynasty Minister Nalan Mingzhu was eager to head towards the Ganqing Palace.
Along the way, Nalan Mingzhu's face was gray. For some reason, it was because the emperor was furious in the Ganqing Palace this morning, so he was now recruited to the Ganqing Palace.
"I'm going to see the Lord!"
In the Ganqing Palace Hall, Nalan Mingzhu quickly knelt down, and saw that Suo'ertu was also kneeling aside without getting up.
A majestic man walked slowly in the hall and paced back and forth.
This scene surprised Nalan Mingzhu a little.
In recent years, it is rare for emperors to get such a big temper.
Even Soetu could only kneel in the hall at this moment.
Could it be that Tsarist Russia in the north attacked again?
Something was wrong. The Tsarist Russian envoy had just arrived in Beijing and was still negotiating with the Tsarist Russian representatives.
But it didn't work, the Junggar Khanate in the west launched another conquest of the Mongolian tribes.
Just as Nalan Mingzhu was thinking about random things, a memorial was thrown in front of Nalan Mingzhu.
Nalan Mingzhu understood it and quickly took the memorial and looked at it carefully.
It turned out to be a memorial from the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi half a month ago.
"The Lord, Guangdong has our Eight Banners Army stationed in defense, and there are 60,000 to 70,000 Green Camp warriors."
"Although the invasion of the South China bandits is unprecedented in Guangdong and Guangxi, Guangdong and Guangxi should be able to suppress it." Nalan Mingzhu rolled her eyes, as if she had guessed that the war in the past half month would probably not go smoothly, so she hurriedly said.
"But over the days, I have received secret reports that the thieves have occupied Qinzhou and plundered the Guangdong and Guangxi areas." Suddenly, the man in front of him spoke coldly.
Suddenly, Nalan Mingzhu was sweating coldly.
Beads of sweat the size of beans on their forehead kept falling down.
How is this possible? Didn’t the emergency report in Guangdong and Guangxi have been reported in recent days that the Qing army is destroying the bandits?
"Emperor, Guangdong General Baiyindali is leading the Qing army's green camp to fight the bandits in bloody battle." Soetu, who was silent on the side, suddenly said.
"At present, the situation in Guangdong and Guangxi is still unclear."
At this moment, Nalan Mingzhu also reacted.
"Master, these two bandits Chen and Yang are just defeated generals and fled to Annan. Now they are making a comeback, and their troops are only a few thousand." Nalan Mingzhu also quickly agreed.
"How is the matter with the Tsarist Russian envoy?" Kangxi, who was paced back and forth in the hall, suddenly asked.
Nalan Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief. Since he asked about the Tsarist Russian envoys, he was sure.
"If you return to the emperor, the Tsarist Russian envoy set out in the spring and came to the capital for several days. During these days, slaves discussed with the envoys, and the negotiations had begun to show results." Nalan Mingzhu replied truthfully.
Hearing this, Kangxi nodded just now, and the gloomy face was getting better.
"In your opinion, do I need to send more troops on the northern border?" Kangxi suddenly asked.
Since the use of military service outside the pass was mentioned, beads of sweat as big as beans appeared on Nalan Mingzhu's forehead.
"When I go back to the emperor, I still think that the affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi can still be slow. The green camp in Guangdong and Guangxi will be responsible. The court should do its best to solve the Tsarist Russia affairs." Soetu, who was kneeling on the ground, spoke.
Hearing this, Kangxi Longyan was furious and threw the secret edict in his hand on Soetu's face.
"The Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia are big, or are the Guangdong and Guangxi?"
"Tsarist Russia invaded the border outside our pass and killed our border residents, and the bandit army in Guangdong and Guangxi actually captured Qinzhou. What do you think is the biggest thing?"
When Nalan Mingzhu heard Kangxi get angry, she knelt down even lower.
He is now dealing with Tsarist Russian affairs. This time, if Kangxi asks, it will be difficult for him to answer.
It must have been Soetu who said the wrong thing and angered Kangxi, which made Kangxi angry.
"Jiangnan is the important place for the imperial court to pay taxes."
"Soetu, Soetu, you ask me to solve Tsarist Russia first, what about Jiangnan? Should I care about it?"
Hearing this, Soetu sighed slightly.
"Emperor, Tsarist Russia invaded on the northeastern border of our Qing Dynasty, and the Junggar Khanate on the northwest border repeatedly launched troops to invade Mongolian tribes."
"Tsarist Russia and Junggar are different. Junggar is a major problem in the northwest, and all the Mongolian tribes are afraid. Now Tsarist Russia has invaded our pass again. Since ancient times, the north has been higher than the south. If the Eight Banners Army really mobilizes troops south, what should I do if the Mongolian tribes on the northwest border? What should I do if the border outside the pass?" Soetu said.
Nalan Mingzhu, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but sigh. Now the Qing Dynasty's domestic and foreign troubles are indeed a bit serious.
Tsarist Russia repeatedly invaded the northeast of the Qing Dynasty.
The pressure in the northern part of the Qing Dynasty was indeed unprecedented.
"Your Majesty, I am still the same sentence. The north is higher than the south. Although the south is a place of taxes, there is no danger to defend south of the Yangtze River. Our Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty traverse the south of the Yangtze River. If there are indeed bandits, they can be wiped out. There is no need to send the Eight Banners from the capital or from the northern Shaanxi and Gansu to Jiangnan. I believe that the Guangzhou general can resolve the bandits by paying tribute to Yindali." Soetu knelt on the ground, still said in a humble and arrogant manner.
"Nalan Mingzhu, what do you think?" Kangxi seemed to hesitate, looked at Nalan Mingzhu again and asked.
"Emperor, Mongolia and other places in the north guard the north of our Qing Dynasty, and Jiangnan is also a major tax and taxation area for our Qing Dynasty. Both are very important."
"But the Junggar cavalry is not weaker than the Eight Banners, and it is also the Mongolian tribe. If the Junggar Khanate is made bigger, it will annex the Mongolian tribes, which will be a major problem for the Qing Dynasty at that time. Tsarist Russia invaded within the pass and planned to make the Qing Dynasty's dragon prosperous place. Both are tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves."
"On the other hand, Jiangnan has been a place of taxation since ancient times, but the southerners are good at literature and do not prefer warfare. A large number of Eight Banners Green Camps are stationed in the Jiangnan area. Even if there are thieves, they will be suppressed by the green camps. It is reasonable. Things in the north are much greater than those in the southern bandits." Nalan Mingzhu thought about it and spoke truthfully.
Kangxi took a deep breath, as if he was thinking about something in his heart.
"The south of the Yangtze River cannot be missed, but the north is more important." Kangxi also murmured to himself, paced back and forth in the hall, as if he was thinking about something.
"Your Majesty, why not wait. If the Guangdong General really annihilates the bandits, then the south will naturally be peaceful."
"But if the bandits become bigger, then let the Fujian navy in Fujian and Zhejiang solve the bandits." Soetu, who was standing beside him, spoke.
