Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Four: The Eve Of The Great War
"The officials who had been punished by the slaves had just stood up, and at this moment they knelt down in fear, and they were all silent and did not dare to say anything more.
Kangxi's face warmed up a little: "There is no death penalty. Don't you still think about the situation of war and escape from the pass. Haven't Lian thought about it like this? Everyone has the heart of luck. Lian does not demand that you all be loyal ministers who protect the country by death. Lian will tell you now that behind Manchus is Shanhaiguan, and outside Shanhaiguan is the world of Chahar rebels, Han people, and Junggars. We have nowhere to retreat. From now on, no one should try their best with luck. We have been blessed with the grace of our ancestors. Now that the disaster is coming, if we don't rise to the front line, we may really die without a burial."
Kangxi would never say this before. But when he said this, he felt a strong and slutty look. He would jump over the wall if he was anxious, not to mention that he still had hundreds of thousands of troops. At this moment, Kangxi cheered up again: "In fact, we are not completely without a chance. The main force of the Ming army is right in front of him. As long as he defeated them in one fell swoop, stabilized the southern line, and then went out of the customs to clean up those rebellions and rivers, the world would still be ours. You are either the legitimate family of the royal family, or the important officials raised by the coalition, and also the blessings that the brigade should enjoy. There are not many coalitions, so you can do it yourself."
"The slaves are willing to work hard to kill each other. At this time, these people who were originally greedy for life and fear of death have aroused the idea of survival. At this time, they will not sacrifice their lives for the sake of the country, even to save their lives.
"Your Majesty, how should the Mongolians be comforted?" Qin Etu asked in a slight manner. The news will be spread sooner or later, and the recommendation shows that the person has already made moves, spreading the military situation in Liaodong everywhere, and trying his best to disrupt the morale of the Mongolian camp. We must find a way to boost morale.
Kangxi narrowed his eyes: "I'm afraid the final battle will be launched, so I'll send an order. Just say that the Mengren and I are in harmony with each other, and Lian plans to re-elect some Mongolian princes and princes. Mengren has rewards, but they are the ones who think about it." He licked the remaining milk on his lips: "The Liaodong affairs must be widely promoted in the Manchu camp. As for how to promote it, I want to
Although Kangxi's words did not indicate clearly, Soetu immediately understood that the inspiration was actually taught by the Han people. The propaganda and offensives of the Han people were overwhelming. No matter how stupid Kangxi and Soetu were, they probably had some experience. Soetu hurriedly said: "If you do this, it will definitely arouse the same hatred of the Manzhou camp.
Kangxi nodded and waved his head in annoyance: "Go down, so let's stay, so I have a couplet."
one
The four-way army of the Qing Dynasty. Except for the two flanks of the green camps on the flanks that were attacked by the Ming army, the rest of the two routes were mainly Manchu and Mongolian camps. Over the past few days, the situation of Guanniu has been mostly transmitted to the ears of these Manchu and Mongolian camps by various propaganda methods of the Zhaming Army. The Mongolian people naturally had a deep thought, and most of the Manchus were worried. After a few days, another news began to spread, which was also about Liaodong. These news did not refute the Ming army's views, but only added some entries.
"The Han people captured our Shengjing, and all the Manchus in Shengjing were slaughtered by the Han people. Do you know? The moat in Shengjing was dyed red, and the piles of corpses were taller than the mountain."
"The Chahar people not only killed Manchus. Even the Mongols also killed them. The Ezhegou thief actually said that he would kill 100,000 Manchus and Mongolians to stop."
"The Han people slaughtered Shengjing City and robbed everywhere, but all the younger women were kidnapped. The rest were all cut off their heads, and the children were dragged directly to the moat and soaked to death.
"Chaha Killing is in the same group as Junggartian. One goes east and the other goes west, attacking the Mongolian tribes everywhere, burning, killing, and robbing. I'm afraid the grassland will not be peaceful."
These news did not deny the chaos outside the pass, but disclosed the numerous "details" that made the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolian who were concerned about the situation outside the pass, and not only disclosed the cruelty of the Han and Chahar people, but also told everyone that they massacred not only the Manchus, but also the Mongolians outside the Chahar tribe.
This kind of rumors immediately aroused hatred in the sky. Not only the Manchus, but even the homeless Meng people were murderous. They knew that the Junggars and Han people colluded with each other, and the Chahars also colluded with the Han people. These Mongol scum actually raised the butcher knife to their fellow tribes. Finally, all the hatred was transferred to the Han people. It was because these Han people, if they were not them, would have been a fair man outside the pass, but when they arrived outside the pass, they first instigated the Junggars to advance eastward and then sponsored the Chahars to rebel. If it weren't for them, how could their hometown fall into war and how would their tribe suffer from this calamity?
At this moment, someone took the opportunity to shout out the slogan of Tu Han. The Eight Banners Camp was in full swing, and the murderous soldiers sharpened their knives and were ready for a decisive battle.
One day later, Soetu personally rushed from Jinan Prefecture to the Manchuria Camp in Suzhou. The news from the previous two days ago was all about his superstition and sent it to Changning to secretly execute it. Now it has obviously achieved results. Whether it is the Manchuria Camp or the Mongolian Camp, they are eager to fight, and even the deserters of the Mongolian Camp have been reduced a lot. Although the morale of the Mongolian Camp is generally a bit sluggish, it has improved many times in comparison.
The gate of Suzhou City was wide open, and he had already prepared to welcome the imperial envoy, hundreds of pounds. The soldiers and brave men divided into two sidings and lined up at the gate. Niu Ning was wearing military uniform and several generals of the Eight Banners of Manchus and Mongolians, waiting here for a long time. When it was Shangfeng, Suo's imperial envoy's car was late. Chang Ning did not show any displeasure. He stood up and smiled to greet him. Suo's secret letter had helped him a lot. If it weren't for his miscellaneous teaching, he would have been so bad.
Call some confidants to make up some rumors. It is still a problem that the Mongolian camp can be stable now. These rumors are like tying up the Manchus and the Mongolians together. Look, Junggar, Chahar, the Han people are in the same group. No matter whether you are a Mongolian or a Manchu, you will kill them when you see them. You should stay here and defeat the Han people first. Only by defeating the Han people. Let's go outside the pass and avenge your brothers.
Speaking of which, these Mongolians are really easy to deceive. Chang Ning feels much more relieved.
"Mr. Suo has been working hard all the way, and he has known Soetu for his hard work. When he saw Soetu get off the car, he smiled and directly grabbed the assistant of the court. He was very enthusiastic. The Manchu and Mongolian generals behind him lined up and saluted Soetu.
Soetu smiled and held Chang Ning's hand with a gentle face: "Prince Gong has lost a lot recently. The emperor often talks about you, saying that it is not easy for you to take on this burden at a young age. Now, in my opinion, although Prince Gong is young, he still has the ability to manage the army. He is also the pillar of the Qing Dynasty to hold up the sky."
Soetu's words praised Chang Ning's talent and also explained the emperor's concern for the fifth brother. It made Tang Ning smile even brighter: "Chang Ning knows his own abilities, and he is really ashamed to be able to see Master Suo's eyes. Hehe, when it comes to Master Suo's talent, he has lost a lot of weight. The national affairs have been difficult over the years, and it is also thanks to Master Suo's pride in his career. I don't know how many worries and worries he has divided for the emperor. Lord Suo, it's very windy here, let's talk. Chang Ning has never walked in the capital in the capital. "I'm afraid that Sou's state affairs will be busy. It delays Master Suo. Now Chang Niu Fan has a water and wine in the heart of the city. Please don't abandon Master Suo, let's have a good time."
Although Chang Ning was a quack of jade, he still didn't dare to take it in front of Soetu. Soeran held Chang Ning with one hand, stroked his beard with the other hand, and squinted his eyes and said, "I'm afraid this banquet will be put on, and the emperor will verbally."
Chang Ning immediately understood and nodded: "Then let's go to the city and find a place to get the job done first."
"The Green Camp Rescue Lingbi" Chang Ning knelt in an empty room and listened to the oral order. He couldn't help but feel dissatisfied. The emperor meant to send troops to Lingbi County to rescue the Green Camp that was attacked by the Ming army. Originally, there was nothing to rescue, but the Green Camp really made the fifth prince look down on him. Sixty or seventy thousand people beat the 30,000 Ming troops and screamed, and shamelessly asked for rescue. These Han troops were really useless at all. Chang Ning naturally looked dissatisfied. What can these Han people have to save? Let them fend for themselves. For this young prince, he naturally couldn't stand up and scold him and let him act accordingly: "Prince Gong, it is natural to do this every time he vomits, so don't worry, let's talk slowly."
Soetu helped Chang Ning up, pressed him on the chair, and then said, "The Han military camp is really useless. The emperor is still very angry about this, but Prince Gong thinks that these Han military camps are our people anyway. If they don't save them, they may push them on the Ming reeds. One is rising and the other is growing. Even if these are not useful, they will be our losses. This is one, the second. We spread rumors and finally boosted the morale of the Manchu and Mongolian camp. How could those Han people let us do what we want? They must expose us. Therefore, the emperor now means to fight. Taking advantage of this skill, it is better to rescue the Ming army leader Zhuo, which is not good?"
Of course, Chang Ning knew that the emperor had given up. Even if he was the emperor's younger brother, he could not change it. The reason why he was dissatisfied was just a vent. Now Soetu had told the cause and effect. His face relaxed a lot: "So Lord Yisuo, when will we get out?"
Soetu said: "Of course, the faster the more you are, the more you are. The Ming army wants to fight us, so we take advantage of their wishes."
Chang Ning nodded: "Then I will make arrangements later, and I will start the day after tomorrow. Lord Suo, this time the emperor asked you to come here just because of this oral order?" Chang Ning is not an idiot. Soetu is the right-hand man next to the emperor. Just send someone to send a oral order. There is no need for someone like Soetu to take action, so there is naturally another reason.
Soetu smiled bitterly: "You can't hide these things from you. Let's talk about it. The emperor's imperial lord will be profitable soon. The emperor means to fight the Ming army at all costs. The 50,000 Manchuria and Meng guards from Jinan Prefecture have set off with the emperor. The emperor plans to go to the front line in person. I am here now. I am making an outpost for the emperor."
Chang Ning was frightened: "What? The emperor is here too? This is not true. The emperor is a body of gold. There is no eye on the sword on the battlefield. If anything goes wrong, it would be a trivial matter? Lord Suo, why don't you persuade me?"
In history, most of the so-called personal expeditions of the emperor were actually in the rear, so there was no reason why the emperor went to the front line in person. For example, this time, Kangxi's personal expedition was originally just stationed in Shandong to cheer up the soldiers on the front line. It was a huge thing to come to Anhui to visit the front line in person.
Soetu smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty doesn't listen to me, let alone. In the current situation, if I lose this battle, all my elite soldiers will be lost, and the land in Jiangbei will be completely unprepared. The Ming army will go north in one fell swoop, and it will be only a matter of time before the Ming army will conquer the capital. The hometown of Liaodong has no choice but to retreat. The emperor's move is just to express his determination to burn his boats and urge the soldiers to work hard to defend the country. This is also a good idea."
Chang Ninghe nodded, Suo'etu was right, Manchus had already retreated and could retreat. To say something heart-wrenching, even if the emperor did not personally fight and stayed in Beijing, if the elite Manchu and Mongolian troops on the front line were wiped out, it would be a matter of time before the Ming army captured Beijing and captured the emperor. It would be better to go to the front line in person. Even if he was defeated and died, at least he would have an explanation to his ancestors. Chang Ning no longer said nonsense: "Since that is the case, then this news will be spread tomorrow, so that the soldiers will know that the emperor is behind us. You can also use this to boost morale."
Soetu stroked his beard and said, "This is the reason."
The two of them were silent, and were both worried about the situation in front of them. Since even the emperor was forced to go to the front line, it showed that the current situation was getting more and more uncontrollable. Wu Changning first reacted: "Mr. Suo, I regret that I have said so much. It's time to take a break. Let's go, the banquet will be cold. Changning will welcome you."
