Chapter 427: The Clouds of the Past

"Brother, is this really that? Could it be that you are too worried?" The Tenth Prince asked hesitantly. He was not familiar with the Tenth Prince. In his opinion, the reason why the Tianjin Guntai failed was completely because of Guntai. He fought the Tianjin Guntai, which was less than 10,000 people with 50,000 people. No matter how you look at this battle, Guntai lost, and he lost so miserably. Isn't this Guntai a good fortune or something?

"Actually, I had found the fourth brother a few months ago and asked him to urge the Ministry of Works to make firearms quickly. Compared with the Ming army, the Qing Dynasty's firearms were much behind. This battle was enough to see the gap between the two. It was not until the news of the defeat in the Tianjin Wei Battle that I fully understood why Zhu Yicheng was so confident."

The Ninth Prince nodded silently. The Eighth Prince was right. In fact, when the news of Tianjin Wei being occupied came, although the Qing court was shocked, they were only angry about the loss of Tianjin Wei in the court.

In the eyes of many people, the Ming Dynasty's surprise troops took a chess move to capture the Tianjin Guard. Although the Ming Navy is invincible, no matter how powerful the navy is, it cannot grow legs and run to the land. Tianjin Guards are occupied by the Ming army, but they are an isolated city. How many can they be transported and supplemented by the navy alone?

With the strength of the Qing Dynasty, it is easy to mobilize tens of thousands of troops in Zhili. If necessary, it can continue to mobilize troops from all over the country to encircle and suppress. As long as the Qing army successfully counterattacks, what else can the Ming army get except for losing troops in Tianjin Wei in vain?

But now, they have truly realized that Zhu Yicheng only set his goal on the real intention of Tianjin Wei. The display of the Ming army's strength in Tianjin Wei is enough to judge the powerful force of this Ming army that is different from the past. In other words, Tianjin Wei is only the first step in the Ming army's entire strategy, and the next goal of the Ming army is Beijing City.

"Tell me a thousand words! If Emperor Ama can trust my brother, how could this happen if he had arranged according to my brother's advice earlier?" The Tenth Prince was angry when he thought of this. In his opinion, this was Kangxi's decision-making mistake.

"You can't say that." The Eighth Prince sighed: "Now that the country is in danger, the Emperor Ama naturally has his considerations, and some things cannot be done by saying it. The most important thing now is to block the Ming army in Tianjin. As I expected, the Ming army will advance westward in a few days. Once Xianghe is lost, the capital will be in danger!"

"Brother, the situation should not be like this, right?" The Ninth Prince said worriedly: "Didn't you just say that the Emperor has listened to your suggestion to mobilize troops from all over the country? As long as the troops gather everywhere, the Qing Dynasty has a total of 10,000 troops available in Zhili, let alone the 13th and 14th Lao, who can deal with only more than 10,000 Ming troops even if the opponent's firearms are fierce."

"I hope this is the case..." The Eighth Prince said with a wry smile. In fact, he still had something to say in the court today, that is, he planned to let the court consider making plans to abandon Beijing City at any time. If the Ming army cannot stop the attack and is directly attacked by the other party, the capital may not be able to defend it. If this is the case, the necessary arrangements need to be considered in advance, but this idea is really terrifying and prone to panic, so the Eighth Prince did not say it to her mouth.

"You guys say, if you go and ask him to release the boss now, will the emperor agree?" Suddenly, the eighth prince asked.

"This..." The Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince looked at each other in an instant. After the arrogant prince was recalled in the south, they were banned by Kangxi. Although the ban has been cancelled now, the eldest prince is still "recalling his mistakes" at home. If Kangxi's consent is not allowed, the eldest prince will not even be able to see people.

"Brother, why are you...?"

"You are trying to ask me why I suddenly wanted to get the boss, right?" the eighth prince asked back.

The Ninth Prince nodded immediately, even the Tenth Prince beside him was puzzled.

"The state is in danger, and now you and my brothers should join hands. Although the boss is not very good, the boss is different from the second brother. He still had a few friendships with you and my brothers back then. Besides, if we brothers want to compare with the boss in terms of military affairs? If Xianghe really can't defend, who will let Beijing take on the defensive responsibility? Is it me or you? Or will the emperor be able to take action personally?"

It is one thing for the Eighth Prince to be dissatisfied with Kangxi, but it is another thing for the Qing Dynasty. How can there be a complete egg in the vast nest? Now it is a critical moment for the life and death of the Qing Dynasty. As the prince, his Eighth Prince cannot ignore these things.

Besides, for a long time, both Kangxi, the Eighth Prince, or others, have said that the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince are good at soldiers and know about soldiers. It is also because of this reason that the Eighth Prince took this advice to let the Fourteenth Prince go out to command the troops. Kangxi followed the flow and brought the Thirteenth Prince out, so that the two of them could practice their own courage.

But in reality, these two princes have no practical experience. The so-called good soldiers and knowing soldiers is just to talk about them. Compared with the eldest prince, the eldest prince is a powerful general who has truly experienced many wars. Even if his ability is still far from those famous generals of the Kangxi Dynasty, at present, the eldest prince can be regarded as the most suitable general candidate in Beijing.

"If Emperor Ama can let the boss come out, it may be a good thing." The tenth prince, who is usually reckless, is very clear at this time, but he said: "But, not to mention the boss, he was ordered to think about his mistakes behind closed doors. With Emperor Ama's current attitude, if you come forward, it will be even more difficult!"

"Who said I'll come forward?" The eighth prince asked back. The ninth prince and the tenth prince were stunned. They recalled the previous words, and the eighth prince just proposed to ask Kangxi, but did not say that he wanted to ask.

"You two can do this, how about it?" The eighth prince pointed at the two of them and said.

"This... isn't we going to see the emperor, you go to see the emperor?" The Tenth Prince suddenly felt bitter. Who in the world is not sure that he and Lao Jiu are both the eighth Prince's irons? What's the difference between them asking Kangxi and the eighth Prince to ask?

"You, how can you come forward and come forward as me?" The Eighth Prince couldn't help but laugh and scolded. The Ninth Prince was still quick in his mind and immediately understood what the Eighth Prince meant. The Eighth Prince clearly wanted to use this method to express his attitude, but not to embarrass Kangxi too much. No matter how much they said, they were younger brothers to persuade Kangxi to use the boss. It was just brotherhood if they said it. As long as Kangxi was not really confused, he must understand.

Immediately, the Ninth Prince quickly agreed. Seeing that the Tenth Prince had not yet come back to his taste, he explained a few words in his ear. After suddenly realizing it, the Tenth Prince, who also patted his chest and promised that the lobbyist would be made by him and Lao Jiu. After the three brothers discussed for a while, the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince left.

In the palace of the county prince, the eldest prince Yinzhi is here to think about his mistakes behind closed doors.

Since Jiangnan came back, the eldest prince has lost everything he had. He has basically stayed in this small palace for many years. Except for a few times when Kangxi agreed to come out for a walk or went to the palace to attend a royal family banquet, the eldest prince has never left the house again.

A man who started to fight with Kangxi in his teenage years and was considered a hero among the princes, now he is like an eagle with wings broken, and can only survive in these places.

Now, the eldest prince is just over forty years old, and he is still in his prime. However, in recent years, the eldest prince has grown up very quickly, his hair has become mostly white, and he has lost his former aura, and he is more like an old man.

Although the things outside were only separated by a wall, they were actually like a world. All of this had nothing to do with him. Now, the eldest prince stood up regularly every day, then fucked, took a walk in the yard, or played chess scores in black and white pieces. No matter how much he had, he would be studying.

Over the years, he has read a lot of books and learned many principles that he had not paid attention to before. Especially when he was young and young, the eldest prince couldn't help but sigh for himself. If time could be repeated, maybe he would have achieved something else now.

Early this morning, the eldest prince still stood up as usual and punched in the yard. This set of punches was the Great General Fuyuan of the past, and his uncle Fuquan taught him step by step. It was in the 29th year of Kangxi and when he was eighteen years old. At that time, he was Fuquan's deputy general. He was really a young man's spirit. In a blink of an eye, the past twenty years passed. The past seemed to be still in front of him, but it had already changed.

This set of boxing is very simple, and it only takes a dozen moments to go, but it is a military boxing technique, which emphasizes one move to defeat the enemy and is fierce.

The eldest prince fought very seriously. He fought back and forth three times before he stopped. He stopped and took the towel from his subordinates to wipe his sweat. The eldest prince sat down on the stone bench in the yard, dazed and didn't know what he was thinking.

Perhaps at this moment he thought of his young man fighting in the north of the West and his enthusiasm back then, but these are already the past mist. Now he is like a premature old man, and he no longer has the same atmosphere as before.

"Master!Master!"

Just as the eldest prince was in a daze, a little eunuch hurried over and called softly.

After coming to his senses, the eldest prince looked at him without saying a word, as if he was asking him what was wrong with his eyes.

The little eunuch looked a little excited, and at the same time, he hurriedly said: "Master, the Ninth Prince is here!"

"The old ninth is here?" The eldest prince was stunned. He was under house arrest. Logically, even the eldest prince could not come to see him casually. Why did the ninth prince suddenly come to him? Could it be...?

Although he had been imprisoned for several years, the eldest prince's mind was still easy to use. He instantly thought of a possibility that the ninth prince should have come with the will.

"Please sit in the hall for a while and let me change my clothes."

"yes!"

The eldest prince quickly stood up, returned to the house and changed his clothes, and then went to the hall. When he arrived at the place, he saw that the Ninth prince was already sitting there waiting for him.

"Brother, long time no see, how are you lately?" Seeing the eldest prince, the ninth prince quickly stood up and greeted him.
