Chapter 238 Kangxi: The advantage lies with the Qing Dynasty!

At this moment, thousands of miles away in the capital of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi was discussing the war situation in Guangdong with several academicians in the South Study.

An eight-hundred-mile expedited express service has been opened between Guangdong and the capital, so Emperor Kangxi would be fully aware of changes in the war situation in Guangdong seven or eight days later.

Now he already knew about Zhu Kezang's surprise attack on Macau, and that after Zhu Kezang successfully captured Macau, he took advantage of the victory and marched towards the capital city of Guangzhou.

Originally, he thought that there was a great chance of defending Guangzhou by sending troops from various places.

But the news from Leizhou made him completely despair. Western Guangdong fell too quickly.

Even the Qing Dynasty's good ally "Holland" said that the Ming Dynasty was too fierce and the navy suffered heavy damage, so they did not stop it!

The only good news is that several Macau merchant ships that were originally bound for India turned back directly to Fujian, and then came to the capital to defect to the Qing Dynasty.

It is said that they were Catholics in Macau who wanted to come to the capital to help the Qing suppress the Ming because they could not bear the oppression of Zhu Kezang and admired the Qing emperor's sanctity.

It's certainly a good thing for the Western Yi to join forces. After all, they play with muskets and cannons much more professionally than the Eight Banners and the Green Camp. Let them help train the new army when the time comes. It's reliable!

Because the Ming Dynasty was approaching fiercely, he had recently studied the history of the Qing Dynasty's entry into the customs, hoping to learn how his ancestors punished the Ming Dynasty.

It has no purpose, I just want to boost everyone's morale.

From the beginning of the Battle of Fujian, the battle reports kept emphasizing the evil methods of the Pseudo-Minghui, which gave Kangxi a headache. He asked: "What other evil methods are they?"

After Emperor Kangxi listened to Nan Huairen's words, Mayan was delighted and nodded slowly, "Then let them go to Beijing as soon as possible. After I see them, I will naturally make arrangements by then."

However, he still had some bad news that he had to report to Kangxi.

"The fake fireball magic is extremely exaggerated. It shoots out from a distance, and the effect is like a meteorite falling to the ground!"

Nan Huairen, the missionary, quickly took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Then I will thank His Majesty for your kindness."

Kangxi thought to himself: This is incredible! How can you use guns, bows and arrows to kill thieves when you can't even see them? I have read the battle report. If it weren't for the smoke magic, which caused the fort to not detect the enemy in time, how could Macau have been lost?

So fast!

"Congratulations to your Majesty, congratulations to your Majesty. Among the Portuguese people from Macau who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty this time, many of them have real talents and learning!" After reading the above list from the Archbishop of Macau, Nan Huairen said to Emperor Kangxi with a joyful expression.

.

"Your Majesty, I heard from the people who escaped from Macau that the people in the Ming Dynasty seem to know magic!" Nan Huairen said worriedly.

If Emperor Kangxi had to wait a few more days, he would soon hear that the Ming Dynasty had a new magic method: the Sky Lantern Ascension Technique.

Therefore, before Emperor Kangxi discussed the troublesome battle situation with the officials below, he called in Nan Huairen and asked him to translate the above table written in Latin by the Archbishop of Macau into Chinese and tell it to the officials present.

"Reporting to your Majesty," Nan Huairen said, "This smoke magic does not seem to be able to directly hurt people, it just blocks the line of sight."

Kangxi still refused to let the main force of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers go to the front line to fight Wu Sangui.

The main force of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers did not move. Wu Sangui was just a coward and a traitor, and he did not dare to risk his life.

He began to pretend to be disdainful: "Haha, aren't they just some inferior demonic arts? Since ancient times, I have never heard of anyone who has won the world with demonic arts and Taoism. It can be seen that the struggle in the world still relies on bows, horses, riding and shooting, and the world.

The hearts and support of scholars are not Taoism and magic. If you pretend to show your little skills, you will never achieve great things!"

This is the Black Tornado Rocket of the Ming Dynasty. Due to the accidental shooting of the church, the Black Tornado Rocket gave a huge psychological shadow to the Portuguese people in Macau.

Nan Huairen was not only Kangxi's first science teacher, but also held an important position in the Qing court.

Currently, the troops stationed in the south are basically the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

He was sent to the capital by the Catholic Church in Macau to preach. Because he was deeply influenced by the traditional Chinese concept of repaying kindness, he was obliged to help the Portuguese in Macau.

Emperor Kangxi frowned, why are there more and more fake magic tricks!

Wu Sangui fought as far as the Yangtze River on the eastern front, and as far as Shaanxi on the western front.

"What's going on with this smoke magic and fireball magic?"

"Now the Puppet Ming Dynasty has occupied Macau, Foshan, Leizhou, and Gaozhou. Even if it can go a step further and enter Guangzhou City, what will happen? We in the Qing Dynasty have elite soldiers and generals, and some food and grass. We will just slowly consume it with the Puppet Ming Dynasty. That's it.

I don’t even bother to send the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers south to suppress the demonic magic and Taoism based on false proofs!”

Kang Mazi's rambling words really cheered up the depressed mood of the group of ministers and servants in the South Study Room.

Now this psychological shadow has been transferred to Kangxi.

Kangxi understood that silence was useless now. After a while, the cloud that filled his face gradually dissipated.

What he said is right. Since ancient times, who has relied on Taoism and magic to conquer the world?

Kangxi paused, and then continued: "Since ancient times, most of the battles in the world have been between the North and the South. The South has determined the North only once, Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Yuanzhang took Jiangning as the foundation, not Guangdong and Nanyang as the foundation. Each generation

Historians have all noticed that Guangdong and Nanyang, barbaric and barren lands, have not been places to raise armies and make fortunes since ancient times!"

Nan Huairen took out a folded piece of letter paper from his pocket and handed it over with both hands, "This is a letter from the Archbishop of Macau to me. The letter mentions the smoke magic and the fireball magic."

Although they fought back and forth, Wu Sangui's army did not suffer much losses and was still very strong. However, the old traitor was old and eventually died of diarrhea. As a result, he had no successors and no one could carry the banner, so he let

Kang Mazi won a big victory for nothing.

As a result, the atmosphere in the South Study became increasingly oppressive, making all the ministers breathless.

"Use the power of the world to conquer Guangdong, and the advantage lies in the Qing Dynasty!"

Kangxi was Kangxi, and he understood best that the deterrence was strongest when the "nuclear weapon" of the Eight Banners was not put into use.

Among the many missionaries, Nan Huairen was the only one who received a posthumous title from the emperor's grace.

Seeing that Emperor Kangxi was silent, the ministers and servants below naturally felt heavy.

Through research, he discovered that the Portuguese were quite fierce. If the new army of Kong Youde they had trained had not defected to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty might not have had the chance to take over the Central Plains.

Kangxi then used a small number of Eight Banners soldiers to escort a large number of Green Camp soldiers to fight Wu Sangui in a war of attrition, hoping to hurt others with his own strength.

It’s not scary to have demons. What’s scary is not having the courage to deal with them.

Not to mention Guangzhou was in a hurry, even if Zhu Kezang entered Guangzhou, Kangxi would not send the Eight Banners heavenly troops!

What we are talking about here is the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia, not counting the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty.

If Kangxi had rushed to send the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners to Hunan from the beginning, he might have killed 20,000 to 30,000 people in one battle. Then the whole world would know that the Eight Banners were in trouble, and they would all have to rebel, and the Qing Dynasty might be gone.

And when he met Zhu Kezang, who might be a better fighter than Wu Sangui, Kangxi still used one move to defeat the Han and then added another to hurt him.

Otherwise, there is no other way. Those Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers are getting worse and worse, and there is no way they can even queue up to be shot!

The training of the Eight Banners New Army was in vain!

Emperor Kangxi thought of this and asked his ministers and servants: "Everyone, who do you think is more suitable to pacify Guangdong?"
