Chapter 1301 Bad news
Zhang Tingyu was speechless. He was an extremely smart person. Of course, he could see the difficulties of Xibao at this moment, but in the face of the current situation, Zhang Tingyu was powerless, and only Xibao could turn the tide in the entire Qing court.
"Prince is here, please ask me!" Zhang Tingyu solemnly bowed to Chief Xibao. Seeing this, Xibao was shocked and quickly stood up to stop him.
"Prince, this gift is for the emperor and for my Qing Dynasty. The prince should be able to bear it!" Zhang Tingyu took a step back, avoided Xibao's obstacle, and said with a serious expression.
Ma Qi, who was beside him, reacted slowly, but he understood at this time. The scholar Zhang Tingyu immediately bowed to Xibao. You must know that these two are ministers in the study room! In the previous dynasty, they were prime ministers. The two prime ministers treated Xibao in this manner, even if Xibao now has the title of general, they can't afford it.
"Two prime ministers, you...you..." Sibao was at a loss. Since he couldn't help him, he would just salute him like the other party, and said at the same time: "Two prime ministers, don't worry, as long as I, Sibao, still have a tone to block the rebels and stabilize the front. After this, please ask the two prime ministers to take care of themselves in the court, please!"
"Please rest assured, I will wait for everything in the court!" Zhang Tingyu replied without hesitation, and Ma Qi nodded repeatedly.
Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi did not stay for a long time, and left after visiting. After a brief cleanup, Xibao rushed to the military camp. The military situation was urgent and Yongzheng could not wait too much time. Xibao had to go to the west to take over as soon as possible and stop the rebels' footsteps.
After leaving Xibo's mansion, Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi looked at each other, and their eyes were extremely tired and helpless.
The current situation has reached an extreme critical moment, and the life and death of the Qing court has reached a critical moment.
At this time, they were not only worried about the war situation in the west, but also about the Ming Dynasty in the east.
The Ming Dynasty has been eyeing the Qing court, and Zhang Tingyu knew very well that the Qing court and the Ming Dynasty could not coexist, and Zhu Yicheng would never allow the Qing court and the Ming Dynasty to coexist.
The Ming Dynasty eliminated the Qing court and quickly. The reason why the Ming Dynasty did not attack west in the past two years was because the main direction of the Ming Dynasty was to recover Liaodong.
The Ming Dynasty's strategy was very clear, that is, to solve Liaodong first and then the northwest. As for Mongolia, due to Ortai's surrender, Mongolia has now nominally returned to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, once the Ming Dynasty resolved Liaodong, it would inevitably turn its fingers and deal with the matters in the northwest.
Now, the battle situation in Liaodong is very bad. Prince Yi has retreated step by step in Liaodong, and has even turned to Mongolia to join forces with Korqin, intending to use this method to compete with the Ming Dynasty.
Due to the lack of news, Zhang Tingyu, Ma Qi and others did not know that Prince Yi and the Korqin tribe had been defeated in Mongolia, and even Prince Yi was killed in Mongolia. At this moment, they still thought that the war in Mongolia was still going on. If they knew the truth, Yongzheng would probably be extremely frightened, let alone Zhang Tingyu and others.
But even if Mongolia and Liaodong can temporarily hold back the Ming Dynasty, it will only be temporary. Zhang Tingyu and others knew very well that once the Ming Dynasty was freed up, the Qing court would face a situation of life and death.
At this time, it was logical that the Qing court should join forces to fight against the enemy for its safety, but in fact, the Qing court is now in a mess, and his brothers are fighting in a small house, and they want to destroy the other party before they can feel comfortable.
This not only consumed the strength of the Qing court itself, but also allowed the Qing court to waste all its precious resources in this internal friction over the years, which made Zhang Tingyu extremely helpless.
However, Zhang Tingyu couldn't do anything. Although he was still a minister in the study room, in fact, Zhang Tingyu's power was not as good as before. In addition, he was a Han minister, and his current status as a Qing court was awkward. If Yongzheng had not been to Zhang Tingyu's talent and loyalty to the Qing court, he might have had a lot of attack on him.
Not to mention Zhang Tingyu, even Ma Qi was the same. Yongzheng was a man with a big idea. How could the ministers persuade him? Not to mention what Yongzheng did after he took office. Because Jianxing's death was unclear, both Prince Guo and Prince Cheng hated Yongzheng to the core. Although both sides were brothers, they were like enemies.
This civil war was a life-and-death result. If both sides wanted to get the two sides to cease the war and even work together to compete with the Ming Dynasty, not to mention Prince Guo and Prince Cheng, even Yongzheng was impossible.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tingyu was full of sorrow, Ma Qi lamented softly, and the two left silently, taking extremely heavy steps.
Sibao set off that night and arrived at the front line a few days later.
A few days ago, Xibao took out Yongzheng's imperial edict and monk Fang Baojian and directly took over Fu Erdan's army, and at the same time he asked the injured Fu Erdan to return.
As for what happened after Fu Erdan returned, I won’t care about the situation. Although his relationship with Fu Erdan is not good, and after the defeat in this battle, Fu Erdan will definitely not be able to get a good idea from Yongzheng. Maybe Yongzheng will attack him after he returns.
But this is all about Yongzheng. Sibo is now facing a fierce attack after the defeat and Prince Guo, Prince Cheng, and even Longkodo who surrendered to them.
For this reason, Sibao used all his strength to lead his troops to suppress the formation. After paying a certain price, including killing several generals in the last battle, he finally barely blocked the opponent's attack and stabilized his position.
But at this time, the situation was still the other side, and the Sibao, which was inferior to the military, could only barely maintain the defensive force, hoping for changes in the war. But no one expected that as soon as the Sibao stabilized, news from the east came. When they learned that the Korqin tribe and Prince Yi's tribe were defeated in Mongolia, the entire Korqin was destroyed and Prince Yi died in Mongolia, the Qing court was immediately in anger.
The Qing court completely lost Liaodong and Mongolia and the precious military power of the Qing court.
Regardless of Korqin, although Korqin has always been a supporter of the Qing court and an important force in the Qing court to restrain Mongolia. However, compared with Korqin, Prince Yi's death in battle is even more unacceptable.
In Yongzheng's heart, one hundred Korqins are not as good as Prince Yi. You should know that Prince Yi and Yongzheng have a very close relationship. They were as good as one person when they were in the prince. Yongzheng has always hoped that Prince Yi could help him protect Liaodong. Even if he couldn't do it, it would be acceptable for Prince Yi to return safely.
Who would have thought that now everything has become a bubble, Liaodong cannot be saved, and Yiqin is also left in Mongolia, how can Yongzheng accept this ending?
On the day he heard the news, Yongzheng was silent. He sat quietly for a long time without moving. Yongzheng, who was usually tough and tough, seemed to have changed his body.
That night, Yongzheng did not sleep all night, and at dawn the next day, his hair turned white, and his whole body grew much older as if he had been removed from his spirit.
