Chapter 680 Cardiotonic

After Ma Qi finished speaking, he was nervously waiting for Emperor Jianxing's answer, but unfortunately what he waited for was Emperor Jianxing's words, "I am tired."

Helplessly, he could only kneel down and leave. After leaving the bedroom, Geng'er couldn't help but mock Zhang Tingyu. Zhang Tingyu was originally feeling uncomfortable, and the two of them immediately started arguing again.

This made Ma Qi even more angry. The government was like this, and the two ministers in the study were not united, especially Geng E, who was still cheering Emperor Jianxing in this situation, really disregarding the overall situation.

As a Manchu, Ma Qi's attitude towards the Han people was actually the same as Kangxi back then, that is, he had to use and guard against it. Compared with the Han people, the number of Manchu people was too small. It was impossible for the Qing Dynasty to consolidate its rule without using Han people. This is a point that all foreign tribes could not avoid after gaining the rule of China.

However, the Manchus are foreigners after all, and they are guarded against the Han people while using the Han people. The difference in their hearts and mouths is often their manifestation. As later generations said, this is a manifestation of extreme lack of confidence. I won’t say anything else. Just the Manchus and Han ministers’ self-proclaimed in front of the emperor is different. One is called a slave and the other is called a minister. The former means being a family member, while the latter means being an outsider.

Although Ma Qi's political ability is not as good as Zhang Tingyu, his mind is very clear. He knows that if the court does not handle it properly after Yue Zhongqi's anti-Qing Dynasty, it will inevitably inspire the division of Manchu and Han. With Yue Zhongqi's actions, it is no exaggeration to the court to destroy his nine tribes, but when to do something, it is not the time for the Qing Dynasty to take charge of Beijing. Now the Qing Dynasty has lost a corner of the Central Plains, and the court is already in a panic. At this time, it is not a good thing to launch a prison.

Ma Qi originally planned to practice Tai Chi to minimize implication and kill the nine clans to the three clans. This way, he could not only save the face of the Qing Dynasty, give the emperor an explanation, but also achieve the goal of appeaseing the Han ministers. But who would have thought that Emperor Jianxing did not agree with his suggestion today, but instead drove them out without comment, which made Ma Qi very worried.

Fortunately, at least Emperor Jianxing did not insist on killing the nine clans at the same time. Perhaps Emperor Jianxing was embarrassed to change his words for a while. After leaving the palace, Ma Qi thought so. He thought that he would wait a few days before making suggestions when Emperor Jianxing became angry. With Emperor Jianxing's wisdom, he should be able to accept his suggestions.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye. On that day, Ma Qi suddenly received the order to summon him into the palace and hurriedly entered the palace. When he arrived in the palace, he found that Geng's ere had arrived, but he did not see Zhang Tingyu's figure. Ma Qi hurriedly stepped forward and greeted the emperor with his horse's hooves and sleeves. Emperor Jianxing said: Get up, Ma Qi stood up and saw that Emperor Jianxing was much better in both spirit and complexion than the previous two days. More importantly, there was a hint of joy in his expression.

This made Ma Qi a little confused. Two days ago, Emperor Jianxing was still in a slump due to the news of the defeat in the Central Plains. Why did he feel energetic in a blink of an eye? Looking at the joy on his face and the geng ere who was also showing joy on the side, he didn't understand what was happening for a moment.

"Ma Xiang, a great victory in the northern Ortai Desert!" Geng E said with a smile.

"The Great Victory in Mobei? This..." Ma Qi was stunned. Didn't Ortai reorganize the army in Chahar? Why did he suddenly run to Mobei? And what was the so-called Great Victory? He remembered that the power of the Ming Dynasty did not extend to Mobei.

Seeing Ma Qi's inconspicuous look, Emperor Jianxing immediately laughed. Emperor Jianxing was arbitrary in the matter of Mobei, and very few people knew about it. Although Ma Qi was a minister of the study room, he did not care about military affairs, so he naturally didn't tell him. Geng E, he was originally the Minister of War, and he had always planned this matter for Emperor Jianxing to work with Ortai.

Emperor Jianxing waved his hand, and Geng'er smiled and handed a memorial to Ma Qi. Ma Qi looked at them in confusion, and then opened the memorial and began to look closely.

As the memorial was content, Ma Qi's eyebrows became tighter and tighter. After reading it, he even closed his eyes. After a long time, the eyebrows gradually relaxed.

"I congratulate the emperor and congratulate the emperor. The north of the desert is pacified and Ortai will surely integrate the Mongolian troops, which will increase the military strength of the Qing Dynasty and make our Qing Dynasty restoration more certain, but..."

"Just how?"

"But the Emperor must be careful of this Rakshasa Kingdom!" Ma Qi couldn't help but persuade. When the Qing Dynasty and Rakshasa Kingdom were in the Northeast, Ma Qi was still a bachelor's attendant of Kangxi that year, and then transferred to Shanxi as the governor. Although he did not personally experience the front line, he was very clear about the ferocity of the Rakshasa people and their combat effectiveness. The Qing Dynasty and the Rakshasa people fought for four years and finally signed the Treaty of Nibuchu. On the surface, the Qing Dynasty won the battle, but in fact, whether from the number of losses of both sides and the content of the treaty, the Qing Dynasty lost.

Emperor Jianxing contacted the Kingdom of Rakshasa and attempted to borrow troops from Rakshasa to deal with the Ming Dynasty. Ma Qi knew about this. Although he disagreed with this, judging from the current situation, borrowing troops was not considered exaggerated. Moreover, Ma Qi was still thinking that he had learned from the barbarians and had already made Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty's firearms were powerful. The Qing Dynasty wanted to surpass the Ming Dynasty in this regard, so he could only seek help from Rakshasa. As long as he maintained a certain degree of cooperation, then the Qing Dynasty would not be incapable of making some concessions in this regard.

But Ma Qi did not expect that the situation had developed to this extent with the change of time. Ortai took advantage of the reasons that the three tribes of Mobei did not respect the imperial orders and joined forces with other Mongolian tribes and the Rakshasa Kingdom suddenly sent troops, and in such a short time, he pacified Mobei in such a short time. Even the most powerful Tushetu Khan tribe in Mobei was destroyed overnight.

That's not all. Next, all parties directly divided the northern part of Mobei. The Kingdom of Rakshasa obtained a large area of ​​the grassland in Mobei, thus directly extending its tentacles to the depths of Mobei. This made Maqi suddenly become alert. The so-called strategy of driving tigers and swallowing wolves seems good, but who can guarantee that this tiger is not more threatening than the original evil wolf?

"It's okay, it's okay." Emperor Jianxing was in a very good mood at this moment. In his opinion, the powerful three Mobei tribes could go all out in one go in such a short time, which was enough to prove his ability to employ people. Ortai was an amazing general. With his achievements this time as the Tuhai of the past, the Qing Dynasty was still strong and he was fully demonstrated in this war. I'm afraid that Kangxi could not have achieved such a great victory.

It was like a dose of a heart-warming agent that made Emperor Jianxing beat up his decadence and made him feel the majesty and strength of the Qing Dynasty. More importantly, in the battle of Mobei, he won over the Rakshasa Kingdom. With such strong support, are you still afraid that you will not be able to defeat the Ming army?

When Ortai finishes resting in the northern part of the desert and leads one million cavalry south, what is the mere Ming army? As for the Ming army's firearms, it is not worth mentioning. The Qing Dynasty and the Rakshasa friendly forces will be recaptured by the time being and the Central Plains will be recaptured.
