Chapter 341: Knife troops from the northwest

In September of the 44th year of Kangxi, the old man Kangxi made his sixth southern tour. At the end of September, the Dongling case broke out. In early October, the prince of the state under the order was ordered to handle the case and went to the headquarters, saying that the case was solved. The collapse of the underground palace was caused by the remnants of the White Lotus Sect and sneaked into the Eastern Tomb garrison battalion to commit suicide. Many of the remnants of the White Lotus Sect sneaked into the capital to make a mistake. Now, the Meiping of Shuntian Prefecture, more than 400 people were shot dead on the spot. Dozens of documents and archives of the White Lotus Sect were seized as evidence. The emperor was furious and said that the imperial edict was executed to kill Wu Liusheng as a warning to others; he was relieved of the position of Fulingfu, the general of the Eastern Tomb garrison, and was assigned to serve in front of the Taiwan Army of Ussuri. Prince Yi Yinzuo was able to do his job well, and rewarded a royal house with a yellow horse jacket.

In mid-October of the 44th year of the Kangxi reign, the second round of the Eight Banners dispatched Zhengbai in Japan, and the selection of five thousand troops of Zhenglan two flags began. Because the previous dispatch of Zhenghuang in Japan, the news that the surplus soldiers of the two flags of the Inlaid Yellow were made a fortune in Japan had already spread throughout the Eight Banners of the Capital. All the students who had not joined the army, the selection of the two flags of Zhenglan began, and immediately jumped up and down, and they broke their heads and entered the five thousand people. Even Yinzuo's incompetent brother-in-law made Lan Yue'er blow a pillow wind in Yinzuo's ears, as for rushing to Yinzuo's mansion.

There were even more people who came to recommend themselves or let the powerful people of the Eight Banners get through the joints, which made Yinzuo feel quiet for a moment. Finally, he had to order a public competition and set the candidates based on the results of the autumn hunting competition. After nearly half a month of busy work, he finally sent all the children of the Eight Banners out of Beijing and went to Qingdao, Shandong to wait for the arrival of the monsoon. In early November of the 44th year of the Kangxi reign, the Shandong Navy fleet loaded with Eight Banners soldiers and various strategic materials set sail for Japan. There were hundreds of merchant ships of all sizes and big and small that came to borrow when they heard the news, and rushed to Japan in a mighty manner.

On December 19th, the 44th year of Kangxi, the old man Kangxi spent the New Year at the Cao family in Jiangning Weaving Mansion, Nanjing. The Cao family was the home of Cao Xueqin, a great literary hero, who was later born. However, Cao Xueqin was not born at this time. In mid-March of the 45th year of Kangxi, the old man Kangxi, who had been out for more than half a year, returned to the capital. All officials went to the suburbs of the city to welcome him. Prince Yi, who had been supervising the country for more than half a year, officially took off his burden on his shoulders and started his life as a minister of Shangshang. Everything seemed extremely dull. However, after returning to Beijing, the old man Kangxi did not return to the palace, but lived in Changchun Garden outside the city. The interval between courtship was officially changed to one ten days, and it was common for half a month to have no morning court. The old man was tired of politics and only suffered the ministers of Shangshang, headed by Yinzuo, and were so busy that they were dizzy every day.

Time is here, and more than half a year has passed. In the blink of an eye, it was July of the 45th year of the Kangxi reign. A warning came from the western Xinjiang - Cewang Albutan sent his brother Celingdundobu to lead an army of 6,000 from Hotan to launch a Tibet strategy and defeated Lazang Khan in one fell swoop. In June of the 45th year of the Kangxi reign, the expeditionary army captured Lhasa, killed Lazang Khan, established rule in Tibet, and imprisoned the sixth Dalai Lama. Tibet was already in ruins. It was time for the Qing Dynasty to send troops. The news reached Beijing.

Mr. Kangxi was furious and ordered troops to be sent. General Xi'an Chuan Erdan led the Xi'an Eight Banners garrison and the Xi'an Green Camp soldiers to a total of 34,000 troops, claiming that 60,000 troops went to Xi'an to fight back in Tibet. Lang Zhang led the troops of the Nine Gate Admiral of the Capital to move to Xi'an to defend the Central Plains Port. The nine gates of the Nine Gate Admirals were taken over by Elute, and the missing troops were replaced by Fengtai Camp and Xishan Jianrui Camp. The Funing'an Army was ordered to go out of Altai Mountain to advance westward, and the two armies attacked Tibet together.

Yinzuo is still clear about which god Cewang Albutan is. This guy is Galdan's nephew. Since Galdan's defeat, this person occupied the entire Galdan basin. After several years of rest and recuperation, the Junggar tribe once again gained confidence. In the 43rd year of Kangxi, Cewang Albutan sent his brother Celingdundobu to expedition westward, conquering the Tok Khan of the Kazakh Khanate, and splitting the Kazakhs into the three Khanates, Zhongyuzi and Xiaoyuzi.

They surrendered to the Junggar. At this point, the Junggar tribe rose again. The ambitious Cewang Alabutan provoked small-scale disputes with the Qing Dynasty several times, but they were all defeated. Yinzuo also had some vague impression of the march to Tibet. He vaguely remembered that it was after the 50th year of Kangxi, but now it was just the 45th year of Kangxi, and this war broke out, which made Yinzuo feel a little chilling - history is completely in chaos!

In Yinzuo's impression, the Qing Dynasty sent troops this time was a disastrous defeat. The two armies sent by him totaled 60,000 were wiped out. I vaguely remember that it was the result of an ambush, but Yinzuo was not very clear about what happened. Since the second Western Expedition in the 36th year of Kangxi, except for the navy, the old man Kangxi never let Yinzuo intervene in military and national affairs, and he did not ask Yinzuo to inquire about this matter this time. Yinzuo, who was unwilling to let go, spent dozens of days of his spare time in his study looking at the map and judging the possible ambush location of the Galdan army.

When the old fourteenth in charge of the Ministry of War, Yinzuo could still learn about the news on the front line in time, but he did not see any big problems for a while. The two armies of the Qing Dynasty were considered stable and crossed the Urumu River in turn, joined forces at Gemuye, and fought with the Galdan coalition in early October of the 45th year of the Kangxi reign. After defeating the enemy, the entire army launched a pursuit. On October 23, the 45th year of the Kangxi reign, the battle report came from the front line. The Qing army had already caught up with the retreating Galdan coalition, crossed the Kalawusu River, and was in a decisive battle with the enemy.

It's over! Yinzuo knew that the front-line army was going to be over when he looked at the map. The place where the Qing army crossed the river was a river beside, like a pocket. As long as the Galdan army guarded the outer edge of the pocket and sent troops to destroy the ferry, the Qing army could only be a turtle in a jar and had no chance of life at all.

Sixty thousand lives, these sixty thousand troops are gone! Yinzuo felt so distressed. Although he knew that the defeat was decided, Yinzuo had no choice at this time. Not to mention that Mr. Kangxi did not allow Yinzuo to interfere in the military, it would be useless even if he let Yinzuo take charge. The reinforcements closest to the battlefield were rushing all night without eating or sleeping. It would take more than half a month to reach the battlefield. It would have to be all cavalry, and the defeat was inevitable.

What does it mean to cry without tears? Look at Yinzuo's current expression and you will understand that Yinzuo's brother-in-law Wang Jiye also participated in the battle this time. Although Yinzuo had someone privately brought him a message before going to the battle, he told him to say he was sick and did not participate in the battle this time, but Wang Jiye was eager to make contributions and set off with the army at the end.

Grief, extreme grief. Although Yinzuo, as a time traveler, had known that the Qing Dynasty would be defeated in this battle, he was powerless and could not do anything. He could only watch more than 60,000 soldiers staining the battlefield with blood. This was Yinzuo's sorrow - he could not and could not stop this battle. One reason was that Yinzuo could not explain why the battle was defeated. On the other hand, Yinzuo had to worry about the suspicion of Mr. Kangxi, and dared not and could not fully extend his hand into the military field. This was the sorrow of being the successor.

"If you are going to lose, I'm afraid there will be no more people who can come back alive." Yinzuo, who had been silent in the study for a long time, raised his head from the map, and looked at Wu and Lin with tears flashing in his eyes.

"What? Why is this happening?" Even though Wu and Lin were always calm, they couldn't help but feel particularly frightened when they heard Yinzuo's statement, and they were dizzy for a long time.

Although Wu and Lin were both wise men of the world, they did not know much about military affairs, but they knew Yinzuo's military achievements very well. Since Yinzuo dared to say so affirmatively, this matter was almost true. Lin Xuanyi was stunned for a while before he smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Sixty thousand lives, alas, if this news really came, I'm afraid the court would be shocked again. In the eyes of the prince, when will this news be transmitted to the capital?"

"Well, the military newspaper in my hand is 800 miles faster. It is a battle report that was five days ago. If it is not unexpected, the situation on the battlefield must have deteriorated at this time. At most, there will be another three or five days. The defeated soldiers should be able to escape to the rear camp. With the time to send the military newspaper, it should be eight days later. Even if I want to rescue it, it will be too late." Yinzuo shook his head with a deep pain and said.

"Well, it's too late, but the second battle will probably be mentioned on the schedule." Lin Xuanyi frowned and said, "According to the personality of the emperor, the second battle is probably not small. This candidate for the commander is very important. You must never let the position of commander fall into the hands of others."

That's a natural thing. Well, I remember that Mr. Kangxi died before he could wait for the second victory, but history has changed a lot. Who knows if it will be like this? Fighting in Tibet is not a joke. Altitude sickness is a matter of life. Even if I, a Qing sergeant, may only be able to exert 30% of my strength when I arrived in Tibet. In addition, Celing Dundobu is cunning and flexible and changeable, and it is basically impossible to achieve success in one battle. In this way, the possibility of a protracted war is extremely high. If so, this commander will have enough time.

Come and conquer the morale of the army. Hey, if the brothers get it, the fun will be great. If the old man can't stand it anymore, those brothers have an army in their hands, and most of the governors and governors in various provinces are the eighths. It is not impossible to start a mutiny. Even if the fourteenth one takes command, we may not be able to calm down. But the problem is that we can't go to the ones in person. The group of slaves under us are not qualified enough. Grandma, this is really a headache. Yinzuo smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I know this, but...ah."

"Your Majesty, why should you worry too much? If you believe that the defeat in this battle has been decided, the position of commander who will go to the battle again will definitely be the Fourteenth Master. This is undoubtedly the case. The prince can calculate the victory or defeat of this battle in advance. This is God helping the prince." Wu Sidao said coldly.

God helps? Haha, this is a bit reasonable. God doesn't know what jokes are being made. We fell asleep well and became the prince when we woke up. Hey, this thief! Yinzuo knew in his heart that Wu Sidao's judgment was correct. Mr. Kangxi would only let Lao Si Si take charge, but how to prevent Lao Si Si's possible intentions was a big problem. Yinzuo always frowned but did not speak.

Wu Sidao glanced at Yinzuo and then said, "Since the prince has already learned about the defeat in advance, some things must be stepped up. Before the news has been sent back, you must do what you should do immediately."

"Hmm?" Yinzuo looked at Wu Sidao suspiciously and asked, "Mr. Wu has any advice, so I might as well make it clear."

"First, the prince must keep this secret. Even if he is to the Fourteenth Master, he cannot mention the defeat of this battle; second, Li Ke should move his position. The Sichuan Admiral is a good place, so let Li Ke be the only one. Well, with the Bowen of the Governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi, it just slams the throats of all the army entering Tibet; third, it is a bit complicated, I am afraid that I have to deal with the Fourth Master in this matter." Wu Sidao analyzed calmly.

Well, these first two are fine. It’s not difficult to make Li Ke’s affairs tamper with the fourteenth, so it’s not difficult to issue a transfer order, but what kind of dealing with the fourth of us is good for us to fight with? We have no contact with that kid. What is the reason for a free prince who is not allowed to do with him? Yinzuo frowned and said, “The third line Mr. Wu said refers to…”

"As long as the grain road is held in the hands of the prince, no matter who is in charge, what can I do if I want to move, what can I do without food and grass?" Wu Sidao sneered and said, "Now, the grain road in western Sichuan is the fourth son's disciple Dai Ning, and most of the grain roads in Sichuan and Shaanxi are also from the Fourth Master. If the prince wants to seize the grain road, he can't get around the fourth master's level."

Grandma, it's really that way. This matter is very difficult. Most of the Ministry of Revenue is used to using the Fourth of the Revenue. Although there are some people in it, it is probably not that easy to get around the Fourth of the Revenue. This time, it's a big trouble. When Yinzuo thought of the Fourth of the Fourth of the Revenue, he felt a little too big. After walking indoors for a while, he suddenly laughed and said, "Well, I can chat with the Fourth of the Fourth of the Revenue. I don't want much, just western Sichuan and northern Shaanxi. As a result, I can accomplish the reform of the Fourth of the currency system of the Fourth of the Old Man. However, the candidates for these two grain channels are not so easy to decide. It's impossible to do without courage and scheming. Who should I go? It's still a matter of scratching my head."

"The candidate matter is actually easy to handle, there are two ready-made ones." Lin Xuanyi smiled and smiled.
