    On the second year of the Chinese New Year, on the sixth day of April in the fourteenth year of Kang Mazi, and also the second day after the tragic death of Shangshu Mingzhu of the Ministry of War of the Qing Dynasty, Kang Mazi called a big uprising, that is, summoned all the officials of the fourth rank and above in Beijing and Prince Baylor into the palace.  , went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to participate in the early dynasty, and publicly discussed military and state affairs-to be precise, it was to discuss the matter of Kang Mazi's personal expedition to the south of the Yangtze River.

    At the beginning of the court meeting, Kang Mazi first asked Tong Guowei to introduce the turmoil that happened in the capital last night to the officials, and also praised Mingzhu and the traitor Hong Xiguan for their loyalty.  Mazi's seventh younger brother, Prince Chun, Longxi, sacrificed on behalf of heaven, and rewarded Mingzhu's two sons, Nalan Xingde and Nalan Kuixu, each with a hereditary official position, to show Kang Mazi's care and care for his loyal servants and encourage other servants  To learn from Mingzhu, I would rather perish with the rebels than bow down to the rebels¡ªalthough Kang Mazi is also suspicious, Mingzhu just didn't seize the opportunity to bend his knees.

    After this cutscene, Mi Sihan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, took over the position of Minister of Military Affairs vacated by Mingzhu. Kang Mazi changed his mind, and once again announced at the court meeting that he would personally lead the army to fight against the rebel Lu  Yifeng recaptured Jiangnan and opened up water transportation.  As a result, Kang Mazi's decision naturally aroused great controversy at the court meeting. The officials were divided into two factions, one group supported Kang Mazi's wise decision, and the other group firmly opposed it, believing that Kang Mazi was the king of the world.  It's important, but lightly away from the fundamental place of the capital, once something happens, the consequences will be unimaginable!

    Objectively speaking, the courtiers who support Kang Mazi's personal conquest may not necessarily be the truly loyal slaves to Kang Mazi, but the courtiers who resolutely oppose Kang Mazi's personal conquest may really be Kang Mazi's loyal servants¡ªbecause they are really loyal to Kang Mazi.  It's too clear that Kang Mazi's personal conquest, who has never been on the battlefield, may not only have the effect of boosting morale, but it may also have a greater effect on adding chaos to the front line, making the Qing army in front even more restrained, and making that one come out.  The cunning Fatty Lu took advantage of the opportunity, and caught the golden opportunity to capture the thief first and capture the king first.

    Not to mention, there are quite a few capable, visionary, and courageous officials in Mazi Chaoli. When Kang Mazi was ashamed, many officials resisted the pressure and pointed out to Kang Mazi the three major dangers of personal conscripts.  First, it is far away from the capital, and it is impossible to command the national battlefield in the center; second, the chances of winning are not great. Although the Qing army is numerous, it is not as elite as the bandit army.  There is no hope; three, danger, the bandit general Lu Yifeng has never lost a single battle since his debut, and Kang Mazi's personal conquest is more dangerous than good.

    By the way, even Jue Luole Dehun, a veteran minister of the Qing Dynasty who always appeared in the role of soy sauce, stood up straight this time for the first time, leading this group of rational Qing officials to resolutely oppose Kang  Mazi went on a personal expedition, and suggested that Kang Mazi change his counter-insurgency strategy, change the strategy of all-out advance and suppression to all-round persistence, first preserve the last vitality, wait and see the changes, and finally look for opportunities to put down the rebellion before it is too late.

    It is a pity that the rational faction among the officials of the mite Qing Dynasty was resolutely refuted by the fanatical and combative faction. They refuted the three major objections of the rational faction one by one.  Shunzhi has a precedent of personal conquests without delaying political affairs. Second, it points out that there are still two naval divisions in Anqing and Ningbo available in Miqing.  Allowing Prince Zhang to come and go in and out of the bandit army's hinterland at will, it's like entering no one's land!

    It can be seen from this that the real strength of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty is actually still higher than that of the Fatty Army, but it has not been used well by the generals before. Kang Mazi's personal conquest will definitely boost the morale of the Qing army and inspire the soldiers. It will be at the end of the battle  Lu Yifeng's bandit army was defeated in one fell swoop, and regained the wealth center in the south of the Yangtze River!

    In addition, the fanatics of Mite Qing also threw out a trump card, that is, the letter written by Fatty Lu that Mite Qing's important minister Mingzhu risked his life for.  A major problem has already occurred, and it is urgent to stop the war to buy time. If the attack is stopped at this time, this rebel will surely win another chance to breathe. If he wants to solve the Jiangnan problem in the future, he will have to pay a higher price!

    There are even more vicious ones, and took out the passage from Fatty Lu's letter, that is, "Many friends of the Great Zhou will support Mingzhu in the open and in the dark, and persuade Kang Mazi to stop attacking Jiangnan", accusing the Qing court of  The intellectual faction has ulterior motives, and it is worth investigating their motives for opposing Kang Mazi's personal conquest!  The rationalists in the Qing court were silenced, for fear that their attitude would be too violent, and they would be charged with beheading as a "friend of the Great Zhou"!

    Seeing that the fanatical war faction is gradually gaining the upper hand, Tu Hai, who was specially summoned to discuss state affairs, was inevitably anxious. Fortunately, Zhou Peigong, who was also specially called to court, was standing next to him with the same title of Minister of the Ministry of War  , so Tuhai hurriedly pulled Zhou Peigong's sleeve quietly, and said in a low voice: "p;"The old thief Wu Sangui is definitely planning to do two things. First, use a high-ranking official, Houlu, to stop Lu Yifeng's dog thief's mouth, seize the righteous name, let Lu Yifeng's dog thief rebel without a name, and try to solve the hidden dangers in the south of the Yangtze River without a single soldier.  If it really doesn't work, it's much easier to do it, Lu Yifeng's bastard has already been made king by Wu Sangui, and if he wants to meet Wu Sangui's swordsman, he has no confidence, and the soldiers under his command will not listen to him."

    There is also a fanatical main battle faction who shouted: "Master, there is no longer any delay. We must seize the opportunity to regain the important land in the south of the Yangtze River before Wu's rebel army and Lu Yifeng's dog thief join forces! Otherwise, Wu  Once the rebel army joins forces, not only will it be hopeless to retake Jiangnan, but the Wu rebel army, which has enough soldiers and provisions, will immediately launch the Northern Expedition!"

    "Enough!" Kang Mazi shut up all the ministers again with the case of the fake dragon, stood up and shouted sharply: "I have made up my mind, and after seven days, I will personally go to the south of the Yangtze River with the army to fight to the death with Lu Yifeng's dog thief!  Cut off the wings and arms of the old thief Wu Sangui first, and then concentrate on dealing with the old thief Wu Sangui! If there is any objection, cut it immediately!"

    "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" All the ministers kowtowed, Zhou Peigong and Tu Hai also frown deeply, knowing that this time there is absolutely no hope of persuading Kang Mazi to change his mind, the only hope of the Qing court is to go all out  Recaptured Jiangnan, using Jiangnan's money and food to fight against the economically incompetent old traitor Wu.

    "Then pass on the decree to Tong Guogang, ordering him to defend Tongguan with all his strength. If he is locked up, everyone will die! If the old thief Wu Sangui breaks through Tongguan, he won't have to come back!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    To be precise, it wasn't Kang Mazi who was scared the most. After the news that the old traitor Wu was in good condition and returned to the school to perform martial arts in Nanjing, Fatty Lu, who was eating, was so frightened that his rice bowl and chopsticks fell on the table.  He quickly called Zhu Fangdan and asked him about the specific situation of the famous doctor Wu Quanbin.  And when Zhu Fangdan introduced that Wu Quanbin is indeed a rare and good doctor, Fatty Lu's little face immediately turned into a dead person's color, and he cursed: "God, you are unfair to me!"  I don't mention it.

    In fact, Fatty Lu and Kang Mazi still underestimated the old traitor Wu. When their spies were still delivering the news that the old traitor Wu was in good condition, the old traitor Wu, who had already proclaimed himself emperor, issued two letters of credence.  , one to Kang Mazi, asking Kang Mazi to hand over all the land south of the Yellow River in exchange for an armistice.  The other one was for Geng Jingzhong, who severely reprimanded Geng Jingzhong's emissary for his rude behavior towards his grandson-in-law Lu Yifeng, and demanded extremely arrogantly that Geng Jingzhong behead the emissary Huang Kun, and dedicate his head to Fatty Lu as an apology!  Otherwise, just wait for the Zhou army and Zheng Jing to join forces to attack from all directions!

    In addition, the old traitor Wu issued another edict to Shaanxi and Gansu, conferring Wang Fuchen the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, in charge of suppressing the remaining Qing troops in Gansu, and conferring Wang Pingfan the governor of Shanxi, who will sit in Xi'an and preside over the attack on Tongguan and Shanxi.  The old traitor Wu himself moved to the south, preparing to gather troops in Huguang and Pianyuan, personally launch the Eastern Expedition, and open up land contact with his grandson-in-law Yuejun Wang Lu Yifeng!  (To be continued.
