    Almost arbitrarily finalizing the personal expedition to the south of the Yangtze River, Kang Mazi and the Qing court began to work together. The first thing was to decide on the candidates for the expedition and those who would stay behind.

    However, the situation has reached this point. In terms of choosing the generals to go to the battle, Kang Mazi really has not many cards to play, and he cannot mobilize the Shengjing General Wonei Batulu and Ningguta General Bahai to join the battle outside the customs.  Kang Mazi could only be the tallest among the dwarfs, so he chose Aixinjueluo Danzhen, the grandson of Hauge, and Prince Aixinjueluo Boguoduo, the grandson of Zhuangjing, the grandson of Huang Taiji, to serve as the leader of Kang Mazi.  The deputy also sneaked out Labu who lost Jingzhou from the clan mansion, and Cai Yurong who lost Hanyang from the sky prison, and let these two unlucky people assist Dan Zhen and Bo Guoduo.  In addition, a bunch of beile shellfish and bodyguard assistant leaders were randomly selected from the capital and Liaodong as generals, and Zhou Peigong was the military counselor to form Kang Mazi's expedition team.

    By the way, Dai Zi was also personally named by Kang Mazi to go out with the army, so that after the Qing army captured Nanjing and took over the Xuanwu Lake Arsenal, they could immediately produce new firearms for the Qing army, use these new weapons to quell other rebellions, and then send Dai Zi  Get rid of this dangerous Han Chinese¡ªthis is a good thing that Kang Mazi has dreamed of for many years.

    In terms of the army, because Yue Le, Leerjin, Jieshu, Niyahan, Laita and other soldiers and horses still have vitality¡ªalthough Kang Mazi didn't know that Fatty Lu deliberately didn't hurt the vitality of these Qing troops  However, Kang Mazi didn't need too many troops this time, so he didn't need to worry about it. He drew a little from the Qianfeng Battalion, Jianrui Battalion, and Fengtai Garrison, and then transferred some Mongolian cavalry from outside the pass, and some temporarily recruited flags from Liaodong.  Ding, together with Kang Mazi's imperial guards and the full-scale personal guard Shanpuying, and finally Zhou Peigong's three thousand elites brought from the Shaanxi-Gansu battlefield, they were put together in a patchwork manner, and their strength exceeded  Twelve thousand, enough to protect Kang Mazi's safety.

    In addition, Kang Mazi also promised the Russian envoy Golaini, agreed to cede Nerchinsk and the territory east of Nerchinsk, and at this price, he borrowed 800 musketeers with their own weapons from Russia.  Led by the Russian generals Tolbuzin and Pudun, they accompanied them on the expedition to counter the powerful firearms of the Fat Man Army.

    In addition, Kang Mazi borrowed a Dutch fleet of eight large three-masted square-sail ironclad ships from the Dutch East India Company on the condition that he promised to "return" Taiwan and donate a large amount of tea and porcelain.  The commander of the navy, Porter, is on his way to Ningbo day and night. He is also preparing to enter the Jiangnan battlefield to cover Kang Mazi's army crossing the river, attacking the waterway hinterland of the fat army, and to counter the soaring strength of the fat man.  Army sailor.

    After finalizing the candidates for the expedition and the composition of the southern expedition army, it was time for the left-behind candidates. At this time, Kang Mazi's cunning and suspicious ugly face was completely exposed.  According to Jueluo Longxi's proposal to supervise the country, he chose his only son, the eldest son Yinti, who was only three years old, and the old witch of Xiaozhuang to jointly supervise the country, and let his confidants Suo'etu, Mi Sihan and Zhang Ying assist,  Stay in the capital to supervise food and pay.  Not only did Longxi not get any power, but even the only two assistant leaders in his hand were taken away by Kang Mazi under the pretext of going south, and he became completely alone, unable to pose any threat to Kang Mazi's throne.

    Immediately afterwards, Kang Mazi became even more busy. First, he ordered the Qin Tianjian to take out a good hexagram for good luck, then fasted, bathed and burned incense, and offered sacrifices to the Temple of Heaven, Taimiao and Taisui God according to the procedure, and then went to the real mausoleum of Shunzhi  She shed tears and prayed silently, begging the father of the dead ghost to protect him and win the flag, wipe out the traitors in the south of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, and recast the Qing Dynasty, he was too busy.  The frequent performances and superb acting skills have almost caught up with another actor in Beijing hundreds of years later.

    During this period, in order to solve the problem of collecting money and food from the south, Kang Mazi had to reach out to the officials in Beijing and Prince Baylor, asking them to "happily lose" the food and payment.  Xiaozhuang also had to secretly summon Danzhen, Boguoduo, Tuhai and Zhou Peigong and other generals who went on the expedition, and issued a top-secret decree to them, asking them to supervise Kang Mazi for themselves and prevent Kang Mazi from crossing the Yellow River to go deep into the real dangerous place.  Guo Duo and Tu Hai also knew that the matter was of great importance, and they solemnly vowed to complete the mission assigned by the old witch of Xiaozhuang, and stop Kang Mazi from crossing the river at all costs¡ªeven if they sacrificed their lives for it!

    During this period, Emperor Zhaowu, who had already enthroned as the old traitor of Wu, also delivered the letter of credence to Beijing, vetoing the truce chip that Xiaozhuang had offered before, and proposed a new truce condition, that is, the Qing army should withdraw from the Yellow River.  In the south, the Yellow River was used as the boundary to draw the river, and the population of the people south of the Yellow River was not allowed to move. Every year, the old traitor of Wu had to pay 3 million taels of silver and the old coins of 10,000 war horses.  Only in this way can the old traitor Wu accept the friendly beg of the old witch Xiaozhuang for a truce, otherwise, the two sides will continue to talk with each other.

    The old man Wu is extremely harsh.??Zheng Jing is not a good thing either. If he is really just selfless against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, why didn't he help King Ning Jing ascend the throne?  ah?  !  "

    Speaking of this, Fatty Lu suddenly remembered an important matter, hurriedly slapped the table and shouted: "Erlang, hurry up, clear out all the members of the Tiandihui in my pro-military team, including Fang Shiyu, and put them in the army as juniors  officer!"

    "Including Fang Shiyu?" Xiao Erlang was startled, and hurriedly said: "Master, Fang Shiyu is the best, and he is a fool who doesn't understand the world, why should he be cleaned up?"

    "You pig head?!" Fatty Lu got angry at Xiao Erlang for the first time, slapped the table and shouted: "Fang Shiyu is a member of the Tiandihui, and the Tiandihui is controlled by Zheng Jing. If the prince proclaims himself emperor, he will give up the banner of anti-Qing and Fuming.  Who knows what Zheng Jing's reaction will be? If I don't get rid of these people from my side, will I dare to close my eyes when I sleep?"

    "Understood, I'll do it now, little one." Breaking out in a cold sweat, Xiao Erlang quickly agreed, turned around and went down to make arrangements.

    "Erlang, remember to pick some good soldiers from the army to supplement the master's personal army." Wang Shaobo hurriedly reminded, after Xiao Erlang agreed again, Wang Shaobo turned to Lu Fatty and said: "Boss, the situation is not very good, this time we may have to  Besieged on all sides. The prince gave up the anti-Qing and Fuming banner and proclaimed himself emperor. He also conferred the title of King of Yue County on you. If you don¡¯t accept the decree, the Yungui elders in the team will not accept it. If you accept it, Zheng Jing will have a rift with us again.  It may even tear up the covenant. Coupled with Geng Jingzhong who has publicly turned against us, in this way, we are surrounded by enemies and have no friends."

    "Could it be that the traitor Wu did it on purpose?" Fatty Lu was puzzled, "The old man chose to proclaim himself emperor at this time, and he directly made me king, putting on a posture of using political means to win over me.  I, who is relatively weak, will not only become the target of public criticism and the number one target of Mangou's counterattack, but also lose my only ally, Zheng Jing, the real enemy surrounded on all sides! I have no relatives!"

    "Understood!" At this point in his calculations, Fatty Lu slapped the table again, and wailed, "I finally understand why the lord is so kind to me, why he skipped Xia Guoxiang, Hu Guozhu, Wu Yingjing and Wu Guogui's former cronies, and directly sealed me.  King! He wants to tell the world that he will not turn against me, and will continue to treat me as a grandson-in-law and right-hand man, forcing Man Gou to take the knife on me, the number one accomplice of the prince, and make me lose the support of my allies and fall into  Surrounded by enemies and fighting alone! Use the full dogs to weaken my strength!"

    "There is a possibility!" Wang Shaobo also came to his senses, and said in a low voice: "The lord's move is really clever, forcing Man Gou to encircle us with all his strength. It will not only prevent your boss from continuing to grow in the south of the Yangtze River, but also greatly weaken our army. Let the boss  You don't have any chance to do what he fears the most, and then sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and when we fight Man Gou and lose both, the prince will come out to pick ready-made peaches, and easily take Jiangnan and the whole world!"

    "Really? The prince really intends this?" Zhu Fangdan asked Fatty Lu in surprise.

    "From the point of view of the situation, this should probably be the biggest." Fatty Lu smiled wryly, and then lamented: "The lord's move is really ingenious, it seems that this time, I have to be a free fighter for the lord again.  Hit, I will die, I will do my best, and in the end I have to kowtow to the prince to thank you."

    "I still don't even have the chance to raise a thief to be self-respecting." Wang Shaobo added with a wry smile for Fatty Lu: "This time, even if you don't take the initiative, Master, Man Gou and Geng Jingzhong, the prince's enemies, will pounce on you like mad dogs.  , fought with us in the dark and dark, and both sides were hurt, let the prince reap the benefits. Our prince is really old and slippery to the point of maturity." (To be continued.
